Comprehension Ability: I Forge a Villainous Longevity Family

Chapter 733: Chapter 529: Great Divine Techniques, Dream Awakening

"So, these formations that resemble sculptures were created by my junior to attract starlight?"

"Yes, Senior Wanhong, the talent of the Star Venerable is indeed unmatched throughout history. Nowadays, any cultivator with a Gravity Platform has doubled their cultivation speed in the Star Monarch Tao, which can be said to be a great blessing for us Celestial Profound cultivators who have a long path ahead."

"It is indeed a good thing. If the cultivation speed doubles and there is no pill toxicity, as gentle as consuming a Spirit Fruit, then it can indeed be considered a treasure for accelerating cultivation. But from what I hear, it has been over ten years since the emergence of these Gravity Platforms. Has your Celestial Saint Palace not been able to replicate something adaptable to other elements?"

Chen Wanhong strolled through the headquarters of the Southern Domain Alliance, looking at the Gravity Platforms spread throughout the premises, numbering nearly a thousand, and genuinely expressed his admiration.

This younger generation has done well!

Let’s not talk about others; just this Gravity Platform alone can be considered a significant benefit for Celestial Profound cultivators, enough to be recorded in the ’Celestial Profound History.’

The only pity is that this youngster has a somewhat narrow perspective. Creating a technique only for star pathways, how can this suffice? To benefit the entire Celestial Profound, a universal system should be developed for the true benefit of all.

Qin Yi listened with a bitter smile.

"Senior must be joking. Although the Star Venerable holds the secrets of creation, the Spiritual Qi needed by cultivators cannot be generated out of thin air. According to years of research by my Celestial Saint Palace, these Gravity Platforms are the result of the Star Venerable using the authority of the Star Monarch Taoist Lord, opening the celestial veil of the Celestial Profound Realm to starlight, allowing the Star Power from the Star Sea to be attracted by these Gravity Platforms. This kind of advantage can’t be replicated by other cultivators."

Even as Qin Yi said this out loud, in his heart, he was already complaining.

Promote it?

Since the emergence of these Gravity Platforms, many disciples who joined the Star Palace have cultivation speeds catching up with the Three Great Sacred Lands!

This is essentially undermining the foundation of the Three Great Sacred Lands!

Even if it were truly developed, the Three Great Sacred Lands would never allow it to be promoted!

Moreover, it must be noted that the disciples of the Three Great Sacred Lands have to consume large quantities of pills and have the support of the Spirit Vein of the Holy Land to maintain such rapid progress, which is the confidence of ordinary disciples of the Three Great Sacred Lands over noble families and loose cultivators.

Yet, since the debut of this Gravity Platform, any scion of a noble family who joined the Star Palace has a cultivation speed no slower than that of the Three Great Sacred Lands!

What does this do to the dignity of the Three Great Sacred Lands?

If joining the Three Great Sacred Lands cannot guarantee faster progress than others, then why should cultivators join?

In essence, the Gravity Platform has become a major hidden threat to the Three Great Sacred Lands.

As severe as it might seem, it’s not, because if you think about it, the Three Great Sacred Lands, which control nearly eighty percent of the Longevity Resources and numerous talents in the Celestial Profound Realm, are an insurmountable existence for loose cultivators.

Even with the support of the Gravity Platforms, these Star Palace disciples still lag far behind the cultivation speed of the core disciples of the Three Great Sacred Lands, not even comparable.

Ordinary cultivators need at least a century to reach Nirvana, even if they are extraordinarily gifted.

The Star Monarch’s cultivation path, while saving some time, still only compresses that century to sixty or seventy years.

Whereas those deemed worthy by the Three Great Sacred Lands, and taken as core disciples, mostly reach Nirvana before fifty and achieve the Peak Realm by no later than one hundred fifty!

The gap is vividly clear.

But for ordinary disciples, this is quite frustrating.

Take the Celestial Saint Palace, for example. The average age for its ordinary inner sect disciples to reach the Nirvana Realm is around eighty, with those slightly less talented possibly reaching one hundred.

Yet with these Gravity Platforms...

Imagine your family went through great lengths to send you to the Celestial Saint Palace, and after painstakingly cultivating for a hundred years, you finally break through to Nirvana. You return home triumphantly to boast, only to find that most of your peers at home have already reached Nirvana. Some, whose talent seemed inferior to yours, now stand on par with you, and those with talent on par or slightly better are now three to four minor realms ahead...

How bittersweet is that?

And if someone with a loose tongue remarks, ’Oh, isn’t this our family’s useless young master? The Patriarch went through great efforts to send you to the Celestial Saint Palace, and now, nearly a hundred years later, we’ve been in Nirvana for over a decade. So, you’ve finally succeeded in achieving Nirvana, honored young master?’

If someone further says, ’A waste is still a waste, even if sent to the Three Great Sacred Lands, you remain inferior. Your father wasted such a valuable opportunity on you and boasted about your efforts! And now? Ha, Nirvana Realm? You’ve embarrassed your father so much, I wonder how he had the face to send us to welcome you, such a failure!’

Conversations like these are almost certain to happen, despite not affecting the overall picture of the Three Great Sacred Lands. But for ordinary disciples, and those who aspire to send their offspring to the Three Great Sacred Lands, especially those sons from influential families with less than impressive talent, this becomes a lifelong psychological shadow. They might truly come to see themselves as failures, leading to a collapse of the Taoist heart and ruining their cultivation journey.
