Chapter 106: Benefiting the Human Race!

“Hahaha, a ‘super’ initial universe?” Upon hearing this, Blue Sky could no longer contain his overwhelming joy. He clenched his fists tightly and burst into laughter.

It seemed that his final gamble had paid off!

“Don’t laugh so soon! Tell me, how did you do it?” Bai, equally ecstatic but still puzzled, pressed him eagerly.

“Even if Yan Ze’s efforts elevated your cultivation aptitude to the highest level, and with the Caoxue Starfire refined again, your initial universe should only be on par with the top-tier figures, or even fall short. But why... why is your initial universe so much larger?” Bai questioned in disbelief.

“Hahaha! Naturally, it’s because I am a born prodigy, destined for greatness!” Blue Sky said proudly, a bit carried away.

“Will you tell me or not?” Bai shot him a sharp glare, threatening, “If you don’t say, don’t expect me to reveal my master’s virtual universe network account to you!”

“...You really can’t take a joke,” Blue Sky’s expression stiffened, his pride fading instantly. He knew well the wealth of the War God, on which the costs of transmission to the Absolute Heaven Tower depended.

“Hmph, are you going to tell me or not?” Bai’s face said plainly, “If you don’t, I’ll handle things my way.”

Reluctantly, fearing some trouble later, Blue Sky confessed, “At the moment of the ultimate energy point explosion, I suddenly wondered if I could channel the essence of the basic combat skill into the energy peak. I tried it, and unexpectedly, it gave me this huge surprise. Haha!”

Bai was speechless.

“I honestly don’t know whether to call you a genius or a reckless fool...” After a long silence, Bai finally spoke slowly, “Do you realize how dangerous that was...?”

“Only a reckless newcomer would be fearless...”

Bai was truly dumbfounded. Unlike Blue Sky’s smooth progress, cultivation methods were not trivial in the universe. Aside from widely popular basic cultivation techniques, any slightly advanced method was treated as a precious treasure, carefully practiced with utmost caution, fearing even the slightest mistake might affect the final cultivation achievement.

But Blue Sky disregarded the guidance of cultivation techniques entirely. He did whatever came to mind, without a shred of reverence. Even facing the critical Star Radiance level—a major milestone determining future attainment—he dared to tamper with it recklessly and take risks...

What infuriated Bai even more was that Blue Sky had accidentally succeeded.

The principle of breaking through the Star Radiance level was to condense an energy peak so intensely that it birthed a new spatial dimension. Then, by exploiting the explosion of this peak, an initial universe was created within that new dimension. But it wasn’t something that could be done haphazardly.

There were countless powerful beings in the cosmos, many offspring among them, but some were especially favored by these mighty figures. Over unending eons, these cherished descendants occasionally produced prodigious talents. The great powers naturally invested the best resources in these gifted heirs.

Yet no matter how abundant the resources or deep the accumulation, when breaking through the Star Radiance level, the new spatial dimension had a limit to what it could endure. Exceeding this threshold would shatter the nascent dimension, and the cultivator would be obliterated, body and soul annihilated.

Countless tragic lessons lay as warnings. The great beings gradually understood this limit, ensuring future heirs stayed within it, no longer pursuing larger initial universes. Over time, the largest initial universes became roughly Earth-sized, a limit universally recognized across the cosmos.

According to Blue Sky’s account, he first triggered the peak explosion, then the combat essence activated a special effect. Although the interval was brief, the first explosion had already given birth to a new initial universe, greatly stabilizing the spatial dimension, enabling it to withstand the force of a second explosion.

Bai thought hard for a long while before understanding the key point. He was inwardly terrified—this kid was truly fearless from ignorance...

Though he had received Yan Ze’s Caoxue blood, gaining top-tier cultivation aptitude, compared to those devoted heirs of mighty beings, his resources and personal accumulation were lacking. Thus, the spatial dimension did not reach its limit at the first peak explosion.

Fortunately, it was so. Otherwise, if the limit had been touched during the first explosion, even with the second essence surge and the initial universe’s enhanced stability, it would not have withstood double the explosive force. It would have collapsed instantly!

At that moment, Blue Sky would have perished utterly, his path ended...

In hindsight, this kid was a fool blessed by fortune. His misstep became a fortunate stroke, setting a new record for the Star Radiance initial universe.

Bai sighed, both exasperated and amused. He resolved to explicitly warn Blue Sky about taboos in cultivation, lest the boy end up self-destructing again.

After Bai’s detailed explanation, Blue Sky was sweating profusely, equally shaken.

There truly was no such thing as a groundless miracle. Unaware, he had risked his life and fortune to create a new record.

Almost dead, yet he remained blissfully ignorant and proud. After all, he had only attained a Caoxue divine body. Amid countless talents in the universe, he was outstanding but not top-tier. Without this accident, how could he have broken a record unchallenged for billions of years?

If others were fools, then he was the greatest fool of all!

Blue Sky shuddered in fear, silently reminding himself.

“Actually... you have every reason to be proud. You probably don’t yet realize what your breakthrough truly represents...” Bai said solemnly. “If you choose to popularize this method, the limit of the human initial universe will be broken again, and humanity’s overall strength will rise to a new height!”

“In a way, you’ve benefited humanity greatly, making a tremendous contribution to your race. Of course, until you gain sufficient strength, I advise keeping this secret. Let no one know, or... you should understand the perils of standing out.”

“It’s not surprising. In the universe, the weak are lucky just to have cultivation methods. They dare not be anything but cautious, painstakingly careful in breakthroughs. The strong, knowing the limits of initial universes, don’t even attempt to push further. Over time, the limit becomes dogma, a forbidden zone no one dares cross.”

“Moreover, from a cosmic perspective, the Absolute Heaven Tower’s basic combat skill is not widely spread. It’s mostly known only in the surrounding universes of the Yuanlan Empire. Beyond that, few would undertake long journeys and great cost for a basic skill of uncertain benefit. After all, the huge expenses could buy a decent cosmic armor, which offers far greater enhancement than a low-level basic skill.”

“So no one ever thought or dared to try channeling the essence of a basic combat skill into a Star Radiance breakthrough. That’s precisely why you, a reckless youth, stumbled upon this secret by accident.”
