Fang Ze harbored no more illusions, he simply ignited his physical body and proceeded with the Spirit Ascension.
If he could use the accumulation of fifty years from the Flower God for the Physical Spirit Ascension, then Fang Ze might very well create a new path to Spirit Ascension, one that no one had ever achieved before!
This path, Fang Ze did not know whether it was right or wrong, but… he could imagine that it would be incredibly formidable!
Moreover, he had thought it over—if there was a problem with this path, he could simply ignite his physical body during the Spirit Ascension stage and revert to the common form of Spirit Ascension.
After all... whether he would win or not was uncertain, but Fang Ze felt that he surely would not lose!
He felt that this was enough!
With this in mind, Fang Ze continued to maintain complete control over Little Grass through "Personal Deprivation," then he recalled the method of "Faith Ascension" and began his attempt to ascend!
Spirit Ascension involves connecting with the World Origin, gaining its recognition of the soul, and thus achieving a complete upgrade of one's realm!
Therefore, no matter which path of Spirit Ascension it is, the first step is always to communicate with the World Origin.
The common path to Spirit Ascension is to use special rituals to resonate with the World Origin and thus gain its recognition.
Faith Ascension is similar, except it replaces the special rituals with the use of the Power of Faith to communicate with the World Origin.
While contemplating this, Fang Ze began to channel the Power of Faith from inside Little Grass into his own body, then he ignited the Power of Faith to communicate with the World Origin.
Perhaps it was because the "nobility" inherently knew the coordinates of the World Origin and had made contact with it before.
Therefore, the communication was extremely smooth.
Almost immediately after Fang Ze began to ignite the Power of Faith within himself, the World Origin started to resonate with him.
Seeing the first step was successful, Fang Ze didn't rest.
He began to light up his Fusion of Stars, one by one.
As each of the seven Fusion of Stars was lit, the World Origin seemed to "receive" information about his strength and began to respond to him, requesting him to start the "sacrifice" for soul advancement...
This is also the most important third step of the Spirit Ascension stage: to sacrifice everything in order to elevate the soul!
Knowing that he had reached a crucial moment, Fang Ze dared not relax in the slightest. With focused concentration, total devotion, he used the power of the World Origin and the control through "Personal Deprivation" over Little Grass, making use of their connection, to madly extract the Power of Faith from within Little Grass!
This time, indeed, with the support of the World Origin, the long-sluggish and entangled Power of Faith inside Little Grass began to be "sucked" into motion!
The Power of Faith that entered Fang Ze's body went from an initial "drip" to a "gentle stream," and then to a "raging torrent"!
Fang Ze finally experienced the feeling that Little Grass had—swelling all over, filled to the brim!
Luckily, he absorbed quickly, but the World Origin absorbed even faster!
The ritual of soul advancement was like a bottomless pit, frenziedly extracting all the necessary energy!
It wasn't until this moment that Fang Ze suddenly realized why so many geniuses over the years had been forced to burn their physical bodies for soul ascension!
"Preserving the physical body and directly advancing to Spirit Ascension"—this simple idea, must have been proposed by many people over the years!
But... not out of unwillingness, but out of sheer impossibility!
With such a fearsome extracting force from the World Origin, unless there was absolutely nothing left to draw from, it simply would not stop!
Within just five minutes, Fang Ze realized that if it weren't for the Flower God's accumulation, the Power of Faith he had amassed over the past two months would likely be completely drained, then followed by the extraction of his physical powers!
And at this rate, in less than fifteen minutes, his Martial Arts Cultivation with 108 law apertures would also be sucked dry!
Therefore, ordinary Spirit Ascension was simply unable to fill this bottomless pit!
With that thought in mind, Fang Ze also had a hunch: the path he was inadvertently experimenting with might actually be the correct one!
Because, according to this logic, all the souls that had been completely drained by the World Origin, sacrificing everything to achieve ascension, were in fact "incomplete"!
For they had not truly met the requirements of the World Origin for Spirit Ascension!
It was only because they had nothing left that the World Origin reluctantly let them pass.
One could say, they were all defective products!
Therefore... only by accumulating enough energy to meet the needs of the World Origin for soul ascension can one achieve a "true Spirit Ascension"!
While thinking thus, Fang Ze, who was uncertain about how much "sacrifice" the World Origin would need, could not help but pray, hoping that the Flower God's fifty years of accumulation was enough!
Meanwhile, at the time of Fang Ze's ascension.
Xida State, Provincial Government.
Jiang Family's villa.
Jiang Cheng's father, looking at the man sitting across from him, who was bare-chested, bronze-skinned, with well-defined muscles and a perfect physique like a sculpted figure, said, "You've already studied the path to Faith Ascension, what do you think? Is it the method you were looking for?"
On hearing Jiang Cheng's father's words, the man flashed a moment of hesitation in his eyes, nodded first, and then shook his head.
Jiang Cheng's father asked, "What do you mean?"
The bronze-skinned man said, "The method is indeed what I wanted. It is also very likely the truly correct path, free from an Extraordinary Trap!"
"But! The requirements are too stringent. It's virtually impossible for anyone to achieve it!"
