Not dwelling on these thoughts for now, the Holy Infant gripped the slate and examined its contents.

“The ‘Maximum Crystal Shattering Technique,’ creator unknown… By relying on extraordinary willpower and talent, one can condense 49 ‘Maximum Souls’ within the spiritual force crystal.

Once the 49 Maximum Souls are fully condensed, they can be combined into a complete ‘Maximum Primordial Soul.’

Using this method to shatter the crystal requires no external pressure, relying solely on oneself to break it. This results in a superior Primordial Soul, greatly benefiting future advancements to the seventh, eighth, and even ninth circles.

However, 49 is not the ultimate limit of this technique.

With extraordinary willpower, talent, and luck, one can attempt to condense 81 ‘Maximum Souls’ to form an ‘Infinite Primordial Soul.’ This soul can shatter the crystal from within, forging a Primordial Soul of infinite potential.

...

The Infinite Soul can easily overcome the three calamities and four tribulations, and is even beneficial for achieving legendary status.

Note from the unknown author: Whether using internal or external force to shatter the crystal, there is no inherent superiority. What matters most is what suits oneself. If the opportunity arises and external force is available, do not hesitate. Throughout history, both internal and external crystal shattering methods have produced Legendary Wizards. The greatest joy of cultivation lies in its infinite possibilities, with many paths leading to legendary status.”

Reading this, the Holy Infant, hiding in his retreat room, couldn’t contain his excitement and laughed wildly.

“Who would have thought Mia had such a technique…”

After a long while, the Holy Infant calmed down and murmured, “Since Mia has given me such a great opportunity, I should help her advance to the fifth circle as best as I can.”

The Holy Infant couldn’t fathom how Mia had come across such a powerful internal crystal shattering technique.

The so-called ‘unknown author’ was likely a Legendary Wizard, given their confidence in its benefits for achieving legendary status and their knowledge of other Legendary Wizards.

“Could Mia be a descendant of a Legendary Wizard? Unlikely. Even if a Legendary Wizard’s lineage had fallen, they wouldn’t be in such a state… But then again, a Legendary Wizard’s lifespan is only ten thousand years, insignificant compared to the cruel, relentless passage of time and historical changes.”

Not dwelling on these speculations, the Holy Infant began studying the crystal shattering technique.

The prerequisite for using the ‘Maximum Crystal Shattering Technique’ was to practice the ‘God Forging Soul Technique’ that came with it.

“God Forging Soul Technique requires refining every 20 units of spiritual force into one Maximum Soul. This means 980 units of spiritual force are needed to form the Maximum Primordial Soul. The typical upper limit for a Fifth-Circle Wizard’s spiritual force is 1000, theoretically allowing for the refinement of 50 Maximum Souls. Some wizards who have consumed rare items, like myself, have a limit of 1070. Therefore, there is an additional 20 units of spiritual force to spare.”

These excess points of spiritual force were not truly excess but represented the elusive truths that could only be pursued, never fully grasped.

As the saying goes, “The Dao is fifty, Heaven’s continuation is forty-nine. Removing one is to introduce variability.”

After achieving the 49 Maximum Souls, no matter how many points of spiritual force remained, there was no need to condense a 50th Maximum Soul.

Once the 50th was attempted, there would be no turning back—one would have to press on until 81 Maximum Souls were refined, achieving a perfect form and creating the elusive Infinite Primordial Soul.

However, this meant that a Fifth-Circle Wizard would need a total of 1620 points of spiritual force!

“I’ve come this far, having consumed so many Truth Oddities, yet my spiritual force limit is only 1070, leaving a shortfall of 560 points. Making up this shortfall seems almost impossible!”

Truth Oddities could not be reused and did not necessarily increase the spiritual force limit. For Earth and Sky-grade ones, Levi would need to collect hundreds of different kinds just to make up those 560 points.

A Truth Oddity that could boost by a hundred points in one go would need to be Bright Moon or even Glorious Sun-grade—something the Holy Infant couldn’t even dream of.

At that moment, the Holy Infant suddenly realized the profound intention of this nameless Legendary Wizard.

The technique for the Maximum Primordial Soul required “great willpower and talent,” while the Infinite Primordial Soul demanded “extreme willpower, talent, and luck!”

Because, truly, the Infinite Primordial Soul was incredibly difficult to achieve!

Even for someone like Levi, who considered himself a “lucky star,” the 1620 points of spiritual force were an overwhelming challenge!

Moreover, condensing 81 Maximum Souls was extremely time-consuming. For most Fifth-Circle Wizards, they would die before ever completing it due to their limited lifespan.

“After achieving Fifth-Circle Perfection, three paths will lie before me: External force crystal shattering—this is the inferior Primordial Soul. For most, reaching the Sixth or Seventh Circle is the limit. With luck, the Eighth Circle is possible, but becoming a Grand Wizard is exceedingly difficult. Internal crystal shattering for the Maximum Primordial Soul—this is a superior Primordial Soul. The difficulty of advancement before the Eighth Circle is considerably lower than with the inferior Primordial Soul and aids in becoming a Grand Wizard. Internal crystal shattering for the Infinite Primordial Soul… This is not an option for me. The second option is more suitable for me. If I want to pursue internal crystal shattering, I must begin practicing the ‘God Forging Soul Technique’ now.”

Without delay, the Holy Infant departed from Fire Dragon Island and flew toward Dragon Palace Island.

One month later, in the Year 1208 of the Holy Brilliance Calendar, during the Month of Beginning, after a simple round table meeting with Levi, the Holy Infant arrived at the island to be greeted by Levi.
