Chapter 615: Chapter 470: The Benefits of Authority
The Demon Monarch has ascended.
Within the Celestial Saint Palace, many disciples practicing the Star Monarch Tao felt a slight sense of strangeness as they sensed this fact.
Hmm, how should I put it?
Amid the urgency, there was a little sense of relief and relaxation.
It’s like you’ve been stealing from someone’s house for a long time without the owner noticing, and now the owner has finally returned, asking for what you stole, and even demanding compensation... The stone in your heart can finally be put down.
In the path of cultivation, your Tao practice is extracted by the Taoist Lord of this path.
This is basically considered common knowledge among the disciples of the Holy Land.
In fact, if this extraction didn’t occur, they might feel uneasy instead.
Don’t think this is a bad thing!
Because if there is a cultivation method without the extraction by a Taoist Lord, it means no one has reached the Longevity Realm on this path, and hence, no Taoist Lord or Golden Nature has been produced!
In other words, with no one ahead, the future is unpredictable.
Perhaps to some exceptionally talented people, this is a good thing, but for the average cultivator... if no one has reached the Longevity Realm on this path for so many years, why should I be able to?
That’s a thought a normal person would have!!!
And comparatively, it is a much easier approach.
Otherwise...
Consider this.
"Why can’t I create a perpetual motion machine when others can’t?"
"Why can’t I perform nuclear fusion with my bare hands when others can’t?"
"Why can’t I eat with my butt when others can’t?"
...to speak with a clear conscience, are these thoughts normal people would have?
A Great Tao, once it has a Taoist Lord, signifies that this path is feasible.
If this is a newly emerged Great Tao, and the extraction strength is not very high, it means that this path is relatively easier for achieving Longevity.
The former is common sense, and the latter is the accumulation of experience.
Because the amount of Tao practice extracted by the Spirit Realm is constant, if you only need to serve one Taoist Lord, then it is a matter of sharing the needed offerings among all those cultivating this path.
In other words, the more people cultivating this path, the less each individual has to contribute.
In fact, to obtain this ’qualification to offer,’ one must at least have reached the True Self state.
In other words, a new Great Tao that can be traveled, traversed smoothly, and quickly is why, after Chen Zhixing’s ascension, there is the current extraction situation in the Star Monarch Tao.
Of course, this rule cannot apply to those ancient Taoist Lords residing in the Spirit Realm.
Because those Taoist Lords who have completely mastered authority can actively reduce or increase their intake; some ancient Taoist Lords can even endure and refrain from consuming the few, perhaps dozens, of cultivators, waiting in hunger for these cultivators to spread this path of cultivation, allowing them to ’come back to life.’
Of course, only those ancient Taoist Lords could achieve such things.
Taoist Lords like Chen Zhixing, who have just ascended and are still alive, could never do such things.
Because they lack the corresponding authority, nor are they in the proper position.
...
Chen Zhixing’s ascension is like a guiding light for cultivators of the Star Monarch Tao in this era.
It gave them a sense of relief while also providing peace of mind and motivating them to strive upward.
Since this road has been successfully walked by someone, they must move up quickly.
At least they must do so before others ascend!
Otherwise, as more cultivators of the Star Monarch Tao successfully ascend, the difficulties of continuing cultivation on this Great Tao will rapidly increase.
Especially for a newly emerged Tao.
After all, now they only serve Chen Zhixing as the Taoist Lord, which means it’s the fastest time for them to accumulate Tao practice, but if they are slow in their cultivation, when more people succeed over time, requiring them to serve from one to two, three, five... or even more, it will be much harder for cultivators to ascend.
Because they cannot accumulate Tao practice, without Tao practice, they cannot condense Golden Nature, and without Golden Nature, how can they ascend to Longevity?
That’s just the way it is.
It can be said that every time a new Great Tao rises, once a Taoist Lord appears, it marks the most prosperous Golden Age for this Tao and its cultivators.
The path ahead has been paved, and there is still space above for them.
If they don’t strive hard now, they would have no future to speak of.
At least Longevity would be hopeless!
With this understanding, in the upcoming period, the prices of all Spiritual Objects related to the Star Monarch Tao began to soar at a jaw-dropping and terrifying speed.
A Starlight Stone, which used to only provide enough starlight for someone to absorb a little, previously sold for one Spirit Crystal. Now, it takes a dozen or so to obtain!
Over tenfold!
And this is just the current price, still in the process of soaring.
In the near future, this price might even become ’one Spirit Stone for one Starlight Stone,’ or even ’several Spirit Stones for one Starlight Stone.’
Without a doubt, this process will last for three to eight hundred years until enough ’Star Monarchs’ emerge on this already ’sufficiently substantial’ Great Tao to suppress the cultivation speed of the lower cultivators, only then will this price begin to adjust in the same terrifying manner.
