Open up and break into another world

Don't continue cultivating the Ancient Cultivator lineage?

Xu Ming couldn't help but be taken aback: "Why is that?"

As far as Xu Ming knew, the Heavenly Dao lineage, the Luck lineage, the Faith lineage, the Ancient Cultivator lineage, and the Mind Cultivator lineage—these five major cultivation lineages have all been proven to be able to reach the 'peak'!

Since they can all lead to the peak, then why does Lü Qing want me to not continue cultivating the Ancient Cultivator lineage?

"You must be very puzzled, right?" Lü Qing could see that Xu Ming, being new to the God Domain, didn't know many things. "Then let me ask you a question first: Do you know why the Heavenly Dao lineage is so prosperous in the current God Domain, while it's rare to see even one Ancient Cultivator lineage cultivator?"

Xu Ming said: "This is because the Ancient Cultivator lineage must have a 'guide' to enter!"

"That's also a reason, but not the main one!" Lü Qing smiled and said, "Actually, the main reason is that the cultivation of the Ancient Cultivator lineage relies too much on external objects!"

"Huh?" Xu Ming was slightly stunned, and then he remembered that the cultivation of Ancient Cultivators does indeed rely heavily on external objects; for example, the 《Thunder Forging Body》 that Xu Ming cultivates requires the power of Divine Thunder.

"But…" Xu Ming said, "The cultivation of the Heavenly Dao lineage should also rely on external objects, right? Moreover, among those of the same level, the combat power of the Ancient Cultivator lineage is much stronger than that of the Heavenly Dao lineage!"

"The Heavenly Dao lineage does rely on external objects, but the degree of reliance is much lower than that of the Ancient Cultivator lineage! Even, many talented Heavenly Dao cultivators can reach the peak without the help of any external objects, relying solely on their own comprehension of the Heavenly Dao and the rules of the operation of heaven and earth!" Lü Qing said, "As for the Ancient Cultivator lineage… without the assistance of external objects, let alone becoming an Emperor-level existence; even in the Divine Lord stage, it's difficult to move forward!"

"Ah?" Xu Ming was slightly stunned—he didn't know anything about this point that Lü Qing said.

"Moreover… if the Ancient Cultivator lineage only relied on external objects, that wouldn't be a big deal; at most, you'd just spend more resources!" Lü Qing continued, "But the current actual situation is—once the Ancient Cultivator lineage enters the Emperor-level, it's difficult to make any further progress!"

You must know that Emperor-level experts also have strengths and weaknesses!

Like Yan Yan Divine Emperor, who has dominated the God Domain for hundreds of millions of years, is also extremely powerful among Emperor-level existences! And those who have just broken through and entered the Emperor-level are obviously weaker among the Emperor-level experts!

If it's really like what Lü Qing said, that once the Ancient Cultivator lineage enters the Emperor-level, it's difficult to make any further progress; then, how is it possible to reach the true peak? —I'm afraid that at most, they can only be a weak Emperor-level expert, right?

Of course, even the weakest Emperor-level expert is a prominent figure in the God Domain, and is what countless ten-star Divine Lords, Silver Moon level existences, and King-Sealing level existences dream of becoming!

However, would Xu Ming be willing to be a weak Emperor-level expert? —Even if only one clone becomes the weakest Emperor-level expert, Xu Ming is a little unwilling, feeling that it would be a waste of his clone quota.

"Why is this so?" Xu Ming couldn't help but ask.

"It's very simple! Because the Ancient Cultivator lineage relies too heavily on external objects!" Lü Qing explained, "The stronger the strength, the stronger the external objects needed for assistance!"

"That's indeed the case!" Xu Ming nodded.

Even Xu Ming can now feel that when cultivating 《Thunder Forging Body》, the effect of the Purple Lightning Divine Thunder on cultivation is getting weaker and weaker! Sooner or later, the Purple Lightning Divine Thunder will be of no use to Xu Ming at all. At that time, Xu Ming will be required to use higher-level Divine Thunder to continue Thunder tempering.

Lü Qing continued: "The Ancient Cultivator lineage has many cultivation paths; the one you cultivate should be a Thunder-type Ancient Cultivator technique, right?"

"Yes!"

"Thunder-type Ancient Cultivator techniques need to use the power of Thunder to improve cultivation! The higher the cultivation, the higher the quality requirements for Divine Thunder!" Lü Qing said, "The Divine Thunder to be used in the Divine Lord stage is already extremely rare, requiring the use of Destruction Divine Thunder, Dark Blood Divine Thunder, Purple Lightning Divine Thunder, etc.! The Silver Moon level stage has even higher quality requirements for Divine Thunder; the King-Sealing stage, even higher! When it comes to the Emperor-level… even more so, you need to use the Primal Divine Thunder from the beginning of heaven and earth!"

"Uh…" Xu Ming didn't know any of this.

Also, when was the beginning of heaven and earth?

Lü Qing continued to say: "Primal Divine Thunder was formed at the beginning of heaven and earth; after the stability of heaven and earth, Primal Divine Thunder will no longer be born! So… Primal Divine Thunder is consumed one less time!"

"In the Primordial Era, there were many Primal Divine Thunders and other Primal objects formed at the beginning of heaven and earth; so at that time, it was also the most prosperous time for the Ancient Cultivator lineage! However, Primal objects will only be used less and less; after the Primordial Era, it is almost impossible to find Primal objects in the world! —Without Primal objects, once an Ancient Cultivator breaks through and enters the Emperor-level, their strength will no longer be able to improve!"

"Xu Ming!" Lü Qing looked at Xu Ming, "You have already created Emperor-level secret techniques. With your heaven-defying talent, as long as you are given enough resources, entering the Emperor-level is definitely not a problem, and you can even become a super powerhouse among Emperor-level existences! However, if you continue to follow the Ancient Cultivator lineage, then… your achievements may be limited to the weakest Emperor-level existence! —Are you willing to be the weakest Emperor-level existence?"

Xu Ming shook his head without hesitation: "Of course not!"

Xu Ming's goal is definitely not just to become an Emperor-level existence, but to become the legendary "peak"! Even, Xu Ming also wants to break through the so-called peak and see what is "above the peak"!

Strength limited to the initial entry into the Emperor-level?

Xu Ming definitely doesn't want to!

"So…" Lü Qing said again, "Give up the Ancient Cultivator lineage, cultivate another clone, and then follow the Heavenly Dao lineage!"

Clone?

Xu Ming smiled and said: "I have a clone!"

"You have a clone? That's great!" Lü Qing was overjoyed, "Is it following the Heavenly Dao lineage?"

Xu Ming didn't dare to casually tell Lü Qing that he actually had several clones. In addition, this time when coming to the God Domain, Xu Ming only brought the Ancient Cultivator clone and the Heavenly Dao clone; so, Xu Ming said: "The other clone is following the Heavenly Dao lineage! But… why must I follow the Heavenly Dao lineage? Can't I follow the Luck lineage, the Faith lineage, or the Mind Cultivator lineage?"

Lü Qing shook his head: "The Luck lineage and the Faith lineage require a large amount of Luck power and Faith power! However, most of the Luck power and Faith power in the world are controlled by those few peak existences; for other cultivators, once the Luck lineage or the Faith lineage becomes a god, it is not a good thing, but a disaster! —Among those few peak existences, there are ruthless people who like to plunder the Luck power and Faith power of others!"

"As for the Mind Cultivator lineage…" Lü Qing smiled, "Mind Cultivators are too ethereal and illusory! Even if you want to follow it, you may not even be able to get started, right?"

Xu Ming smiled secretly in his heart—can't even get started? His Mind Power has already reached the second level; as long as he reaches the third level, he can become a god of the Mind Cultivator lineage!

But Xu Ming will not give up the Ancient Cultivator lineage—although there are very few Primal objects in the world, Xu Ming's Artifact Shop should have them!

When Xu Ming's Ancient Cultivator lineage enters the Emperor-level, as long as there is a cheat, he can still continue to improve his strength—so, Xu Ming is not worried at all.

As for the Luck lineage, the Faith lineage, and the Mind Cultivator lineage, Xu Ming is only dabbling in them, not mainly cultivating them, and will not spend much effort on them. If there can be achievements in the future, that would naturally be the best; if there are not many achievements, it doesn't matter.

"Xu Ming, since you already have a Heavenly Dao lineage clone, that's the best! Remember, you must mainly cultivate the Heavenly Dao lineage in the future; even if it may be more difficult for you to cultivate the Heavenly Dao lineage!" Lü Qing said solemnly, "And I will also try my best to find some opportunities for the Heavenly Dao lineage to give to you!"

"This… how can I be so embarrassed?" This sentence has almost become Xu Ming's catchphrase.

Today is also two updates. Because a new plot is about to begin, I need to think about it carefully first.
