300 millions years later, Zhou Fan stepped out of the river of cultivation. He had already made the changes, but he had yet to activate them.
This time, nobody would lose their cultivation, and the way of cultivation would not change.
The first difference between cultivation 1.0 and what Zhou Fan named cultivation 1.1, was the upper limit of cultivation. Changing that took the longest time due to all the fine details, but he eventually raised it to the first level of the god realm.
Even Ying Xiong would struggle to reach such a height, though he was the main reason that Zhou Fan decided to make the change so soon.
The second change was the renovation of weapon type Qi's. He would use sword Qi as an example.
Unlike before, one could not simply cultivate using sword Qi. Instead, sword Qi would be an extra path, similar to weapon forging and alchemy.
Sword Qi would be honed and practiced to improve its power, though, if one used a sword, it would naturally increase in power as their cultivation did so.
In addition, there were new talents that Zhou Fan added. This was also one of the aspects that took the most time.
It would not be very common, but now, instead of just being born with cultivation talent or divine physique, one could also be born with a weapon Qi talent.
Even a person with no such talent could easily use a weapon, but they would find themselves being weaker with the same weapon as those with a weapon Qi talent.
There were only 6 levels of talent for weapon Qi's.
Basic, which was 1 in 100, great, which was 1 in 100,000, king, which was 1 in 10 million, emperor, which was 1 in 10 billion, god, which was 1 in 1 quadrillion, and immortal, which was 1 in 1 decillion.
To put the god rank weapon talent into perspective, there were probably around a quintillion people in the entire universe, give or or take some. That meant that only a thousand people at once would have god rank weapon talent.
To put the immortal rank weapon talent in perspective, there likely had not been 10 decillion living beings even if one combined all the lives born throughout the universe's history.
Those were the only two changes made, but they were greatly profound.
All that was left was to put it into action.
Naturally, the upper limit change would affect everyone, but the weapon Qi change would only affect those born after it was implemented.
Zhou Fan raised his hand in the air and snapped it. At once, the great changes took place.
—-----------------------------------
Inside of a galaxy fairly far away from the Zhou galaxy, Ying Xiong was panting. He had just had a very close call in terms of Qi. After hesitating and calculating for a while, Ying Xiong bit the bullet and attempted to cross into a galaxy farther away than he had ever tried to.
It would be the 450th galaxy he had managed to enter.
He had nearly run out of Qi before arriving, but just managed to make it. He was not looking forward to the return journey.
He took out his map and looked at it. It contained many galaxies, but only a few were circled with red lines connecting them to other galaxies.
There were very few galaxies left which he could possibly make it to. The risk he took was not without its reasons.
Still, he enjoyed exploring more than he had ever expected. Nothing in the Zhou Galaxy had been unexplored, but there were suddenly 449 unexplored galaxies just like it.
Of course, exploring was not without its dangers. Ying Xiong had made mistakes that almost cost him his life more than once.
Luckily, Zhou Fan had covered all of the galaxies in the 3 galaxy clusters with his mortal dao while he was in the purple star sea. Otherwise, Ying Xiong may have entered the galaxy, only to find that the Qi was not split.
As Ying Xiong stood up, he felt something within his body suddenly change. It only took him a moment to realize that he could progress in cultivation once again. Without hesitation, he crossed his legs and began to cultivate.
Within the Zhou Galaxy and the Heaven galaxy, many were surprised to discover that some newborn babies seemed to have something new attached to their meridians.
Before long, they would find out what they were and what use they were.
Of course, the names for the new talents would be instinctively named the same way that Zhou Fan named them.
In the center of the three galaxy clusters, Zhou Fan dragged an independent space with him as he moved.
He decided to move the river of cultivation to a more private and safer location. He flew upwards, and soon left the Zhou supercluster.
He stopped above the supercluster and tied the independent space down. He would have preferred to take it farther away, but it still needed to be close to the Zhou supercluster in order to affect the entire thing.
It was very useful that the river of cultivation could use his mortal dao as checkpoints, otherwise it may not be able to affect Ying Xiong when he was outside of Zhou Fans mortal dao.
After placing many powerful defense, attack, and concealing arrays, Zhou Fan was satisfied with the protection surrounding the river of cultivation.
Just as he was turning around to leave, Zhou Fan heard the sound of a drop of water leaving the river.
Zhou Fan looked behind him, and saw a dark black drop in the air, before it soon fell back into the river. Zhou Fan was shocked by the event.
That level of movement was on par with when Ying Xiong was born.
He tracked where the drop originated from, and his gaze soon fell upon an average sized galaxy, but it was not the Zhou galaxy.
Surprisingly, Zhou Fan saw a man cultivating not too far from the planet where the disturbance was created.
'What a coincidence.' Zhou Fan thought to himself as he saw Ying Xiong open his eyes and move towards the same planet that Zhou Fan was paying attention to.
