"This sounds almost identical to the 'flawless body, limb regeneration' of the Heroic Rank," Wu Heng mused.

But there was one point that caught his attention.

Upon reaching this stage, the body seems to be entirely sustained and operated by Creation Spiritual Power, forming an independent 'material framework.'

Doesn't this imply that it fundamentally differs from a hero's Star Power?

It might even mean... that the usual methods of a hero may have little effect on a body cultivated with this technique?

Of course, these are just psychological speculations.

The specific differences still need verification, but this is undoubtedly a more potential-filled path.

The divine skill unlocked at the fourth stage is called [Blood and Flesh Creation], which can shape more resilient, enduring, and even simple flesh-structured 'creations' using soil or other materials containing spirituality as a base, but it cannot bestow them with an independent soul.

"It's increasingly reminiscent of the legend of 'Nuwa creating humans,'" Wu Heng sighed to himself.

As for the cultivation site requirements, the fourth stage becomes rather straightforward and straightforward; anywhere between heaven and earth can be cultivated!

What's needed is no longer a specific environment, but rather drawing the most primitive and original powers permeating between heaven and earth.

Memorizing the key points of the fourth stage, Wu Heng closed the Skill Book, stood up, and patted the head of the parrot that was still seriously munching on sunflower seeds: "I'm going to cultivate now, tell Philippa to call me at dinner time."

The parrot seemed half-understanding, but confidently nodded its head.

Wu Heng turned around, once again entering the quiet room, closing the door behind him.

...

After some thought, Wu Heng walked out of the house with a few Skeleton Guards, arriving at a clearing in the forest where energy was relatively abundant.

Sitting cross-legged, he held his breath and concentrated, beginning to attempt the techniques of the fourth stage of the "Creation Scripture," namely the 'Creation Inference Form.'

As soon as the skill was activated, he immediately felt a completely different experience from before.

Aside from the familiar Earth Spirit Power continuously pouring into his body, an even more primitive and majestic energy permeated the space between heaven and earth, surging into his limbs and bones like an invisible tide.

This energy was vast yet gentle, carrying an aura of nurturing the essence of all things.

Though Wu Heng felt a sense of wonder in his heart, he did not delve deeply into it.

Having cultivated to this point, he had long since transcended conventional reasoning, following the guidance of the inheritance, immersing himself wholly within the experience.

...

As evening darkened, Wu Heng ended his cultivation and directly employed the [Teleportation Technique] to return to his residence.

Upon entering the living room, he immediately saw 'Philippa' holding a gleaming fruit knife, playfully pointing it at the parrot's neck, face bearing an exaggerated mischievous grin, demanding, "Speak! Which kind of fiend are you? Did you possess my precious parrot? Confess now!"

The parrot, its feet bound with rope, shook its head like a rattle in fear, its beady eyes filled with terror, emitting pitiful 'caw caw' sounds.

Wu Heng looked at Mini, who was setting the table nearby, and helplessly asked, "What's going on again?"

Mini covered her mouth with a smile, explaining, "As soon as we returned, we noticed this parrot suddenly became extremely intelligent—it could not only do math but also talk back. Philippa insisted it must have been possessed by something unclean, and now she's interrogating it."

Wu Heng immediately realized, "Philippa, stop it, I used 'Spirit Awakening' on it, opened its intelligence, so it's normal for it to become smarter."

Philippa's interrogating movements paused, as she suspiciously turned her head, "Really? How does that work? It can just suddenly become this smart?"

"Of course it's true, quickly let it go. If something really possessed it, Lilith and I wouldn't notice?" Wu Heng assured.

Only then did Philippa, half-believing, release the rope on the parrot's feet.

Once freed, the parrot immediately flapped its wings frantically, scurrying behind Wu Heng, poked its head out, and screeched sharply, "Captain! Idiot!"

"Hey! You're really rebelling!" Philippa exclaimed angrily, attempting to catch it again.

Just then, Mini had already set up dinner and invited everyone to sit down.

Everyone gathered around the table, enjoying the food and chatting casually.

Lilith looked at Wu Heng with a hint of inquiry, "Your earlier mention of 'Spirit Awakening,' is it a new ability of the 'Creation Scripture'?"

"Yes, the 'Spirit Awakening' unlocked in the third stage can open the intelligence of living beings and enhance their understanding," Wu Heng nodded and explained.

Lilith raised her eyebrows slightly, "So that parrot suddenly became... talkative and calculating because of that?"

"Pretty much, it's now about equivalent to the intelligence level of a human child," Wu Heng said.

Philippa immediately showed interest, asking with her mouth full of food, "Can it be used on people too? Give me a try! Maybe I can become a mage!"

Next to her, Mini chuckled lightly at those words, "Being a mage isn't just about being smart, you also need patience to lock yourself in a room and study spell models every day—can you handle that?"

"Uh... Maybe not then." Philippa imagined the scene, immediately retracting her neck, resolutely giving up.

Lilith then brought the topic back onto track, "I have also completed the second stage of my 'Body Refining Technique,' and the upcoming third stage should involve that 'Bathing Fire Rebirth' ability you mentioned before, right?"

The impression of Wu Heng reviving from the brink of being obliterated by Divine Spirits was still vivid in her mind; it was undoubtedly an extremely powerful life-saving measure.

"Correct," Wu Heng put down his tableware, seriously explaining, "The third stage is called 'Heavenly Destiny Body.' Once mastered, the body becomes undying, impervious to all evils, and the corresponding divine skill in this stage is 'Bathing Fire Rebirth,' which, like last time, allows one's physical body to be destroyed and reincarnated or revived elsewhere."
