Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

"It is indeed a test of your talent."

Xu Qingzhi sighed, "But you haven't started cultivating the space-time rule yet. You don't understand how difficult it is. Among the three paths of time, the future rule is inherently the most fantastically challenging path, and cultivating it is the slowest. It's very normal to be ten times or even a hundred times slower than cultivating the now rule."

She looked at Lin Qing and shook her head, "Future vision, future body, descent into the future—these three great future mysteries are each more difficult than the last. And His Majesty Guang Wang actually wants you to succeed within thirty-eight million years?"

"To what level do I need to cultivate to succeed?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask curiously, "Do both the future vision and future body mysteries need to be perfected?"

"This... I am not sure either."

Xu Qingzhi hesitated, then said, "Just in terms of seeing the future of the Glory King Pearl, it seems future vision only needs to cross the threshold. But if you want to prevent the destruction of the King Pearl in the future, that'll require the 'future body' mystery to achieve a minor achievement."

Lin Qing looked at her with some peculiarity.

Didn't you say you weren't sure? How come you suddenly seem sure?

However, he could also guess that Xu Qingzhi had surely gone to consult others.

"Cross the threshold? Minor achievement?" Lin Qing asked, "Are the mysteries of time rule divided like this?"

Xu Qingzhi pondered for a moment and said, "Comprehending the mysteries of time rules, as you delve deeper, each mystery will not only become stronger but also have some subtle changes. For instance, the time acceleration mystery, when just crossing the threshold, can only accelerate oneself, but at minor achievement, it forms a time acceleration domain, and at perfection, it can even form areas with different flows inside the domain."

She looked at Lin Qing and said, "The future vision mystery is like this too. The deeper the comprehension, the more future lines you can see, and the farther into the future you can see. But at the entry level, you can only see still images, while at minor achievement, the future seen becomes more realistic, like authentic images and sounds. At perfection, you can even sense specific breaths and more."

Lin Qing suddenly understood.

So this is the differentiation between entry level, minor achievement, and perfection?

"What about the future body?" Lin Qing said.

Xu Qingzhi pretended to ponder for a bit, then passed on, "The entry level of future body can only hide within the future line, merely used for life-saving, but incapable of affecting the future, so you must wait until your future body reaches minor achievement to do this."

Lin Qing thoughtfully nodded, gaining a clearer understanding of his upcoming cultivation plans.

"Thank you for your guidance." Lin Qing expressed his gratitude, sighing, "If it weren't for Miss Xu's advice, I truly wouldn't know what to do."

Xu Qingzhi lightly shook her head and said, "His Majesty Guang Wang must know that you are acquainted with me, knows you can inquire about these matters, which is why he asks as he does. Besides, it's just some information."

Even though in King Realm knowledge requires paying, such information for ordinary chaotic creatures is something you must spend money on to acquire.

Yet she certainly wouldn't make Lin Qing pay anything for such trivial matters.

"Let's talk about the 'Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower' now."

Xu Qingzhi said, "The Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower is also one of the special treasures in the King Realm Universe, extremely rare, yet it carries immeasurable characteristics. Before blooming, it exists in a void spirit state, dispersed across various parts of the universe, only gathering at the instant it blooms, forming in the void and only blossoming for such a fleeting moment, time brief to an infinitely small instant, making it exceptionally difficult to find its presence."

"Can future vision be used to search for it in advance?" Lin Qing asked.

Xu Qingzhi shook her head and said, "Future vision must have a definite target. The Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower, before blooming, is merely a pure existence of void, and no one knows when and where it will be born and bloom in the King Realm Universe."

She looked at Lin Qing, "Unless you can observe the entire universe's future, otherwise, there's no way to find it, even with the source power His Majesty Guang Wang provided you. You'll only be able to sense its presence at the instant it blooms."

Lin Qing couldn't help but be a little surprised.

He pondered for a while, then said, "In this view, His Majesty Guang Wang asking me to find the Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower seems to be testing whether I have mastered the 'descent into the future' mystery, doesn't it?"

"Clever."

Xu Qingzhi smiled and nodded, "Indeed, the Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower blooms at an unknown interval, potentially appearing anywhere in the King Realm Universe. Just using 'future vision' to look for its existence? That requires the ultimate being in cultivating future rules to achieve."

"But with the 'descent into the future' mystery, it can let consciousness descend into the future and live in the future." Xu Qingzhi said, "Thus, you can determine the blooming time and place of the Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower and forecast in advance."

"I see..."

Lin Qing suddenly understood, then curiously asked again, "This descent into the future mystery—it sounds a bit like future body? Isn't future body also able to hide in the future?"

"Absolutely not the same." Xu Qingzhi said, "Future body just sneaks into a future point in time, said to be static at that point. You can only wait for the reality time to pass, wait for the present to meet the future, and cannot sneak into a too-distant future."

"Then I understand."

Lin Qing nodded as it dawned on him, isn't this just like his experience of simulating the future?

He then asked, "To obtain the Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower, one must understand 'descent into the future'?"

"Indeed so." Xu Qingzhi sighed, "It's said that even the ultimate being in cultivating the now rule finds it difficult to acquire the Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower."

"Even the ultimate being can't grasp it?" Lin Qing said in astonishment.
