My construction materials are weird

"What's going on? Did I mishear Vice-Curator Song saying someone broke through to the Transcendent Martial Dao realm?"

"Yeah, Vice-Curator Gao summoned me, saying a big event happened, that there's still a path forward for martial arts, and that humanity's hope has arrived."

"Vice-Curator Wu told me that a Transcendent Martial Dao expert would be giving a lecture later. I'm still confused. So you all didn't know either."

The summoned crowd gathered in the martial arts hall and began discussing.

Transcendent Martial Dao – such attractive words.

To suddenly tell everyone it could be achieved filled them with deep doubt and shock.

"Impossible, right? How can Transcendent Martial Dao be achieved without losing control? Didn't they say a solution hadn't been found yet? Wasn't that why our martial arts hall's Mr. Liu left? He was at the peak of a martial master but feared losing control."

"Indeed, Mr. Liu was a born martial arts genius. He mutated for three years and reached the peak of a martial master. Because there was no path forward, he had to temporarily leave populated areas. I heard he had a force of six thousand kilograms a year ago."

"Speaking of experts, I've met one from headquarters with a force of seven thousand kilograms. I don't know how he did it, but I heard it had to do with willpower."

"Willpower is too mysterious. It's been studied for many years without any results."

"..."

The crowd's discussions rose and fell.

Until the three vice-curators and the curator arrived.

Only then did the crowd stop discussing and look at the curators on the stage.

Among them, Curator Sun Hui's eyes were firm, dispelling the confusion he had always had.

Not to mention them, even the three curators who hadn't met him before looked expectant.

Believing it was one thing, but not seeing it left them feeling uncertain.

Suddenly!

"Rumble!"

A wave of tyrannical pressure swept across the entire hall.

Visible golden light emanated from an entrance, dazzling and intoxicating.

Then came a fatal sense of oppression.

Everyone present was a martial artist, although more were at the martial apprentice level. But the stronger they were, the more intensely they felt this pressure.

The four curators on the stage felt it even more intensely.

If Xuan Huang's pressure hadn't been all-encompassing, not targeting anyone specifically, it would have been even worse.

Anyone targeted would have collapsed on the ground.

Silence fell instantly.

No words were needed; this pressure explained everything.

If this wasn't transcendence, what was?

As if pacing through the void, Xuan Huang arrived in the center and retracted his pressure.

The intense oppression everyone felt disappeared.

The curators believed it; their excited expressions were undisguised as they stared intently at Xuan Huang.

"Hello everyone, I am Xuan Huang. I've made some progress in martial arts and am here today to share my insights."

His gentle tone and the tyrannical pressure from just now were like heaven and earth.

It was hard to believe that the gentle Xuan Huang at this moment was the same person as the one who had exerted that tyrannical pressure.

"Clap!"

"Clap clap—"

Wu Gang's rough voice roared and he clapped his hands loudly.

"Clatter clatter—"

The shocked crowd hurriedly applauded.

Regardless of what Xuan Huang was like before, he was now transcendent.

As for whether anyone was unconvinced?

Probably not. Even if it was just first order, it was still two different biological levels.

Everyone present combined wouldn't be a match for a transcendent.

The difference between heaven and earth made it impossible to challenge someone above one's level.

Of course, Xuan Huang was an exception.

"To achieve Transcendent Martial Dao, it's actually very simple: first, achieve Transcendent Willpower."

Xuan Huang's first sentence.

Was also the premise of everything.

"As expected? The premise of Transcendent Martial Dao is Transcendent Willpower."

Hearing this, Curator Sun Hui, who had been doubtful, felt relieved.

"Transcendent Willpower? How is that possible?"

"I've seen discussions about 'My Will Replaces Heaven's Will,' saying that Heaven's Will is distorted and incomplete. As long as my will replaces Heaven's Will and I achieve self-control, I can break through to transcendence?"

"But isn't willpower condensation supposedly based on an extremely high starting foundation?"

"Yeah, I've seen such discussions too, saying that as long as you find a way to condense willpower and make it tangible from the intangible, you can control yourself."

"Isn't that considered an impossible goal?"

"..."

"How did Lord Xuan Huang do it?"

This was everyone's common thought.

Only to see Xuan Huang say again: "Willpower is the unified body of essence, energy, and spirit. It is the existence we humans possess that is most like the Dao."

"Therefore, it is so common that everyone has it, yet no one can control it. It seems simple but is actually difficult."

"To condense willpower, I have a method: the 'Heaven and Earth Furnace Visualization Chart'!"

"This method was created by me. Visualizing this chart requires a firm will, an ethereal mind, and the outlining of a Heaven and Earth Furnace in the sea of consciousness… Soul casting, aura as the guide, qi and blood in the body as firewood… Constantly tempering one's willpower."

"The spirit is the master of man, energy is the rush of man, essence is the foundation of man. The three unify into will. Those who practice this method…"

As Xuan Huang began to describe it.

The confused crowd suddenly understood.

Especially after hearing that Xuan Huang created this method himself, the way everyone looked at Xuan Huang was different.

They thought he was a lucky person, but they didn't expect him to be a law-creating big shot.

What everyone still didn't understand now was how Xuan Huang did it. Such an existence shouldn't have appeared.

Everyone is within the system of the laws of heaven and earth, so how did you create your own system?

Even if this system is very rudimentary, smaller than the system of heaven and earth laws to the point where it cannot be compared.

How was it achieved? Xuan Huang would not say.

This concerned his biggest secret, so let it become the biggest mystery.

"Learning this method will enhance willpower during the condensation of the Heaven and Earth Furnace. Once the sea of consciousness is completely condensed, there are two paths: refining the law and merging the law."

"Refining the law: — Continuously tempering willpower, relying on one's own willpower to improve, but this method is very difficult. According to my deduction, to condense Transcendent Willpower, those with outstanding talent will need at least three years, those with average talent will need ten years, those with ordinary aptitude will depend on luck, and those with mediocre aptitude may never have hope in their lifetime."

"Merging the law: — After outlining the complete Heaven and Earth Furnace, there are twelve inscriptions. Engraving just one inscription is Refining Willpower Level One, engraving nine inscriptions is Refining Willpower Level Nine, engraving ten inscriptions is Perfection, and engraving twelve inscriptions is the Limit-Breaking Perfect level. Engraving nine inscriptions can impact Transcendent Willpower, but the risk of failure is great. Ten inscriptions have a fifty percent chance, and twelve inscriptions will be a natural success."

"Both methods can be cultivated simultaneously. How to choose is up to everyone to decide."

This was the method Xuan Huang gave to everyone.

The so-called refining the law is based on Xuan Huang's small world's Heaven's Will, replacing the distorted Heaven's Will.

As for merging the law, it is based on Xuan Huang himself and the Heaven and Earth Furnace, replacing the distorted Heaven's Will.

In the end, both methods are a crowdsourced cultivation of immortality.

One adds bricks and tiles to Xuan Huang's small world, and the other adds bricks and tiles to the Heaven and Earth Furnace.

"Buzz!"

While everyone was still confused, the Heaven and Earth Furnace appeared.

The bronze three-legged furnace shone brightly, slowly flowing, exuding the same Transcendent aura as Xuan Huang.

"This is because I felt that refining the will was difficult, so I refined a weapon while creating the method. After completely condensing the Furnace Visualization Chart, as long as one inscription is engraved on it, it can be connected to this artifact. This artifact replaces Heaven's Will in suppressing essence, energy, and spirit, which is the path of merging the law that I mentioned."

Everyone: …
