Lin Wu was astounded upon hearing the realms above the Immortal Ascension realm.

"They are rather simple and don't have much differentiation other than the fact that one needs to overcome tribulation. And even those can be picked according to the preference of the cultivator.

Hmm… all this seems too simple… what's the catch?" Lin Wu wondered.

He wanted to watch more, but the memory ended here, leaving him unsatisfied.

~Sigh~

"I guess, I just gotta see another one…" Lin Wu muttered to himself as he sifted through the memories.

One by one, he watched tens upon tens of memories, learning about a lot of things that he didn't know previously and a lot of useless things as well. The system was steadily recording everything, thus Lin Wu was pleased with that at least.

Now if he came across these things in the future, he would know about them beforehand. Plus, the analytical speed of the system was also improving due to the updates on the Data banks.

Most of the things he learned were smaller nuances of the cultivation world and information about the various items and techniques of the world. Unfortunately, Lin Wu was unable to obtain any cultivation technique or skill from this, as most of the memories were incomplete.

"Just how long have I been here for and how much time has passed?" Lin Wu couldn't help but wonder.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: It has been 17.43 seconds in the real world since the host appeared in the river of memories.

——

Seeing this Lin Wu couldn't help but be shocked.

"Damn! The time difference is massive!" Lin Wu said. "But how?" he asked.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: All these memories have already been loaded into the system. The host is merely viewing them as the system analyzes them.

——

"Wait a minute… you mean to say, I'm inside you now, system?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: The host's consciousness is currently within in the system's analytical circuits. Usually, the system would read through the memories and analyze them according to the order they appear in but with the host picking them, the system is merely shifting the order.

——

Seeing the explanation of the system, Lin Wu finally understood how it was happening.

"But this still doesn't explain the time difference… I've easily spent hundreds of hours' worth of time in those memories." Lin Wu replied.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: While the host's consciousness is here, it will be synced with the clock speed of the system. The passage of time in the real world is irrelevant here. With the addition of more computational AI's the speed of the system will increase.

——

Learning all this, Lin Wu couldn't help but feel astounded.

"Damn, even at three computation AI's it is already this fast. If more of them are added, just how fast will the processing even get?" Lin Wu wondered.

With Lin Wu's current cultivation base, the system could activate three computation A.I.'s in addition to the main one.

~Sigh~

"Thinking about this won't do me good. Just gotta focus on the task at hand, I'll unlock more of them as I increase my cultivation anyway…" Lin Wu muttered to himself as he started to look through the memories again.

What he was doing right now was pretty much the same as looking at the cover of a book and picking it. Though it was not exactly like that, since he could see a few snippets from the memories as well.

"That one!" Lin Wu picked a memory upon hearing a very interesting word.

~shua~

The scene in front of him changed and a court appeared. Lin Wu could see the Skull god sitting at the head of the hall while his subordinates sat in two rows in front of him. They seemed to be discussing something.

"Skull Lord, we have found several traces of the spirit Qi signature that you told us to search." One of the subordinates of the Skull God spoke.

It was evident that this happened a while ago when the Skull God wasn't known as 'god' but just a 'lord'. The subordinate of the skull god also looked like a normal human, though not all of them were like this.

There were several other races mixed in as well that had various other features, such as horns, feathers, claws, and many more. Diversity was abundant in the court of the skull god, but the one thing in common was that all of them exuded a dark aura from them.

'They are definitely at the False Immortal Realm or above that.' Lin Wu thought upon sensing their presence.

It was far stronger than the aura of an Immortal Ascension realm cultivator that Lin Wu had experienced in some other memories. The thing that differentiated them from the Immortal Ascension realm and other realms below was that there wasn't just spirit Qi fluctuations coming from them, but also another type of Qi… The Immortal Qi.

This prompted Lin Wu to remember the unknown type of energy the system had found in the beast carapace fragment when it had injured Shirong before.

"Could that unknown energy be Immortal Energy?" Lin Wu wondered.

"Negative." The system suddenly replied.

"Huh? What do you mean system?" Lin Wu questioned.

~Ding~

——

ANSWER: The energy signature of the Immortal Qi does not match that of the Unknown energy. But its similarity to Immortal Qi is more than that of the spirit Qi, which according to calculations, is likely to be an even higher rank of energy.

——

Lin Wu didn't know what to think of after hearing this. Even Immortal Qi was something that was quite far from his current level, not to mention whatever the unknown energy was.

"I'll think of that later, or it'll just bug my mind for a long time." Lin Wu muttered to himself and shook his head.

He looked back at the memory and saw the Skull god raise his head, or rather, his skull. He had no eyes and thus the empty eye sockets glared at the subordinate that had spoken.
