Summoning, Transformation, Rebirth, transcend.

Theoretically, the most perfect state of the Non-attack Matrix that can gather these four Blessing Chains is an unattainable dream in the heart of every Mo.

Even though it is so universally applicable and adaptable, the low entry threshold comes with exceedingly strict requirements on talent and capability, and also good compatibility and not too low a level of mastery of most Superiors.

First it's difficult, then more difficult, then even harder, entry is hard, growth is hard, achievement is even harder.

Just the first Heavenly Skill alone blocks countless people from entry, as not many can enjoy the treatment of the Superior at awakening.

People with exceptional talents like Ji Jue are the exception.

The Rebirth Rank is the same.

The Earth bears the sea of the Ruins Series, Heavenly Movement of the Ascension Series, and then All Things Self-transform of the Ember Series... not one of these is easy to deal with.

In terms of direction for Non-attack, there's no particular order for these three blessings; as long as it is Rebirth Rank, anyone can come first, it's very open-ended.

Because any of these three is difficult to obtain…

Earth bears the sea requires insight into the Essence of Ruins and the grandeur of material.

Heavenly Movement requires understanding the crystallization of obsession, the purity of Ascension.

And All Things Self-transform…

Refine, child, refine, the furnace has a mansion of gold, the furnace has beauty like jade, though most likely these things you don't have.

Even Ji Jue might feel a bit bald.

Earth bears the sea represents the vastness and infinity of material, the grandeur and inclusivity of Ruins, like the stability of earth and the infinity of the sea.

Its effect is that with the infusion of spiritual nature, it infinitely enhances the material's own properties: strength, hardness, toughness, rigidity… and if spiritual nature is lavishly used, this enhancement can be permanently maintained.

Heavenly Movement represents the growth of the soul and intellect, similar to Spirit First, it's purely passive, but unlike Spirit First. It can break shackles, obstacles, and gates, allowing the soul to grow and improve through continual practice.

To put it simply, with this blessing there's no limitation on talent and ability, henceforth, just one effort will certainly yield one gain!

Whereas the blessing of All Things Self-transform is more complex.

It does not act on a single entity, but when facing multiple materials, it wields a unique control, making everything change naturally according to its own rules, whether in achievement or ruin.

Evolution, growth, regression, aging, decay... all are encompassed within.

Used in alchemy, it is like an open-handed cheat, as long as the theory is correct, throw the materials in, and then just wait for the result, without any accidents or flaws, it will be exactly what it's supposed to be.

You can even throw in materials outside the formula, even those conflicting in physical properties, and force the outcome to make them coexist.

But if using Non-attack's bare-handed refining, it's like an innate demolition and reconstruction body, with too broad an application scope.

Also, this is the one that excites Ji Jue the most.

Heart racing, unable to sleep at night like in love, seeing everything as the shadow of All Things Self-transform...

Wuwuwu, Self-transform, Self-transform, my All Things Self-transform...

Without a doubt, this is Ji Jue's first choice.

He decisively seeks advice from his teacher.

All Things Self-transform, want it, how to get it?

The answer received: Very simple, child, don't worry, as long as you have hands!

"Like the Heavenly Gifted Spirit, although it is a blessing, it is also evidence and achievement granted by Ember, an honor and reward."

On the phone, Ye Xian slowly spoke, "All Things Self-transform, to some extent, represents the naturally occurring effect of alchemy.

With the compatibility between you and Ember, no need to worry, just push the experience and control of the Ascension, Purification, extraction, and Integration Series to the limit, then perfectly blend them, gaining your unique insight, and it should be about there."

"Uh, teacher..."

On the other end of the phone, Ji Jue felt numb from head to toe, "Is this called very simple? Even an ordinary master couldn't achieve this!"

"It's just something you need a little time and effort to acquire, not requiring you to gamble on odds nor search the world-wide for some insight, nor waste a lifetime waiting fruitlessly for an opportunity that might never come, if this isn't simple then what is?"

Ye Xian coldly retorted, "It's not like asking you to take the Association's laurels, even Kong Qingyan can achieve it, why can't you?"

[???]

For the first time in life, Ji Jue had such deep doubts about his understanding of Federation language: Is this human speech? Why can't I understand?

What do you mean Kong Qingyan can achieve even this?!

"She claimed this blessing before becoming a master, whereas I only obtained it quite late, after becoming a master."

That's simply because you claimed the master title ridiculously early!

To go through the proper process to claim the master title, I'm still lacking at least three golden ribbons! While to be like my teacher and not follow the proper process…

Do you think major industry-changing breakthroughs grow like cabbages in your backyard?!

My revision and revamping of purified alchemy have only just begun, the time and experience required to complete such achievements are still vastly insufficient!

In the end, one still needs to grind.

Moreover, not just one task but four tasks, and not grinding achievements but the hardest basic skills to enhance...

"Then Earth bears the sea and Heavenly Movement..."

"Don't know." Ye Xian said, "I am not the Ruins nor Ascension, I have neither of these blessings, no experience to share with you.

As for some guesses, maybe they're mistaken, I won't voice them to mislead your thoughts."

"It's okay to talk a little, teacher!"

"No, what I mean is, I don't want to talk."

Ye Xian decisively and bluntly extinguished Ji Jue's thoughts and slowly said, "I don't quite understand why you seem so anxious and pressing, but I must remind you, whether it's alchemy or the achievements of the Chosen One, it's destined to be a long journey. It can't be achieved overnight.

Forcing to increase the heat, eager to succeed, can only result in a pile of waste.

Sometimes, taking things slowly is the most efficient and steady approach. Ji Jue, you need to learn to practice and wait. Don't think about seeking blessings until your rebirth form is complete. Honestly accumulate your prowess and abilities.

Or, if you want to come back to class, it's okay too."

She paused for a moment and warmly said, "You don't have to pick a time. I'm available anytime."

"No, no, no, it's fine, no need!"

Ji Jue shook his head frantically, sweating profusely, "I just love researching by myself, teacher, alchemy makes me happy. I love building momentum slowly!"

"I hope so."

The phone hung up, and Ji Jue slumped in the chair, letting out a long sigh of helplessness.

Though not explicitly stated, he felt the disappointment and displeasure from the teacher.

The disappointment Ye Xian felt wasn't because of his eagerness to succeed—after all, everyone has laziness and arrogance, taking shortcuts is the nature of living beings.

If one can descend the mountain without falling, taking shortcuts to the destination, Ye Xian wouldn't mind. Anyway, the path one takes is their own, and skipping classes would eventually require a double effort to catch up.

But when the anxiety and restlessness in Ji Jue's heart slightly showed outside, it made her notice an ominous sign.

If one can't maintain rationality and clarity, controlling their emotions and impulses, they'll eventually habitually take shortcuts, become accustomed to it, and even self-satisfied, self-defeating, ultimately leading to self-destruction.

Arrogance and pride increase daily, the cycle of decay and rot draws nearer.

The moment you decide to head towards the riverbank, you've already doomed thirty years on the surface and thirty years underwater.

Like Jian Yuan, even if he hasn't truly received the Essence of Evil Fool, what's the difference with the followers of Zhi Fu?

When you look back at your former self, can you ever discern the traces and spirit of the past?

Ji Jue lay in the chair for a long time and suddenly asked:

"Isis?"

"Sir, I'm here."

"Am I really so impatient?"

"I don't know."

Isis answered calmly, "In my database, there's no record of your endurance and restraint. On the contrary, your impatient nature seems normal to me.

Just in case you weren't aware, your humble servants and attendants are currently overseeing the construction of workshops and sites, the expansion and maintenance of new springs, the financial audits and personnel management of Coastal Industry, the collection and distribution of Messenger Logistics... If you truly regret and wish to be vigilant about your impatience, why not reduce my workload a little?"

"Alright."

Ji Jue nodded decisively, waving his hand, "Integrate the consideration of reducing this part of work into yours. Later, give me a feasibility report, and I'll consider it deeply."

"No need to do it later, sir. I can give it to you right now, no need for a report." Isis seemed to smile, "How about using a bullet?

I believe it's straightforward enough to resolve any worries or troubles."

"Haha, you're really humorous." Ji Jue was amused.

"So are you."

Isis's projection silently dissipated, leaving her master a cold glance.

And, a bullet.

Bang!

In a loud noise, the bullet shot straight towards Ji Jue's forehead, but before it reached him, Ji Jue suddenly raised his head and right hand, swiftly catching it.

Immediately, in the dead silence, no sound could be heard.

The fiery bullet spun agilely between the fingers, tossed, and fell, held tight.

The instant the fingers loosened, it became a small figurine.

Fine and lifelike.

Himself.

And under Ji Jue's gaze, the figurine slowly began to move, standing, spinning, even jumping, as if a living creature... But in reality, it was being reshaped and reborn more than twenty-four times per second, simply and crudely stacked through refining, creating dynamics like a living being.

As the palm closed again and opened, the figurine had transformed into a small bird, its mechanics intricate, feathers delicate.

It spread its wings, and right before Ji Jue's eyes, leapt vigorously and soared.

Ascending into the air.

Until the Fuel Element powder powering it ran out, falling, returning to Ji Jue's palm, transforming into a solid steel ingot, tossed back onto the table.

The entire process consumed no effort, done effortlessly.

Refining by hand had become as natural as breathing.

After the Rebirth Rank, the deep integration of soul, body, and Matrix became one, refining by hand and spiritual operation didn't even count as skills anymore. There were no cooldowns or fatigue, even if triggered non-stop twenty-four hours a day, it merely consumed a bit of energy.

"Rebirth form, huh."

Ji Jue sighed lightly, equally, having no clue.
