Jack was not going about other inheritances for now; he had to find a safe way to travel around the world before even thinking about other inheritances. Jack didn’t know anything happening outside; he didn't know about the elemental cultivators, Albert, or Firepower; he still thought that the perfection cultivators were waiting for him outside; after all, even though Jack knows a lot, he actually knows nothing about what the transmigrators would do.
Still, it is in his future plans to visit all those inheritances.
...
1000 years later.
Jack continued his low-profile stay in the inheritance ground, not daring to go out; this inheritance was very isolated, and there was no way to look outside while he stayed in the inheritance ground. Jack knows a lot about each inheritance; he knows everything about them. Still, it's not as if he can hack them; these inheritances are all rank 10; they have no obvious flaw. He can, at best, take advantage of his knowledge and use it to his advantage, but hacking it is beyond his current ability.
Of course, as always, he can hack it easily if he uses knowledge from outside sources, but that would severely damage the Dao collection.
In the last 1,000 years, Jack has been able to calculate the Void Soul chapter of Heaven's Way!
This inheritance is an absolute treasure; it contains the entire knowledge of wizard civilization. Using the hidden influence of Daoist Snow, Jack obtained very high-level information about many different Daos, including the heavenly Dao, which was the key to his success in calculating the Void Soul chapter.
That said, even an entire treasure trove of knowledge of an entire civilization may not be enough to successfully push him over the line to calculate the perfection stage. Even if he can do it, it would take much longer than if he had better data.
There are several different calculation techniques, the two most famous and used being Probabilistic and definitive calculations.
Probabilistic calculations are much more flexible and require some experimentation; however, the required knowledge input is lower, and one can start to calculate with much less data.
Definitive calculation means having complete knowledge about any matter before even trying to calculate; in this method, there would be no error in results and no need for any experiments, but the input of data required is much higher.
Jack uses probabilistic calculation, which means he can calculate even with relatively little data; however, it takes longer because he has to experiment to turn probabilities into certainties.
The probabilistic calculation method is used much more among those who are hitting above their weight. For example, Jack is trying to calculate the Heaven's Way technique, which is far beyond what a Multiple Soul Realm cultivator can do.
Jack did nothing else besides calculating the Void Soul Realm of Heaven's Way.
He looked at the system interface:
* Name: Jack (Peak Multiple Soul Realm)
* Main mission: Conquer the World
* Side missions: (list)
* Temporary task: (list)
* Grandpa count: 2 (+)
* Current Grandpas: 2 (Soul Transformation Realm 10th stage)(Perfection Realm 10th stage)
* Points: 50,398,101
Jack still has no way to get rid of that Soul Transformation grandpa; he cannot just kill him; there is a penalty for losing a grandpa. Maybe if he upgrades his system, there would be a (-) point for grandpas, but for now, there is no such thing.
He now plans on reaching the Void Soul Realm; he called the system without delay.
"System, upgrade to Void Soul using Heaven's Way," he ordered.
"It costs 1,835,008 points to reach the peak of the Void Soul Realm—Confirm?"
Jack didn’t hesitate at all and tapped 'Confirm.'
After tapping the button, he felt strange, as if he had become connected to the world itself, but he didn’t feel any surge of power; after all, he was an outsider in this inheritance ground, and his power was suppressed by it.
After reaching the Void Soul Realm, all of his substance souls disappeared. Multiple Soul Realm wasn’t a challenge for him; keeping the unity of his 100 substance souls was extremely easy. What's more, he broke through Void Soul using system points. There wasn’t the slightest problem in his breakthrough to the void soul realm.

* Grandpa count: 2 (+)
* Current Grandpas: 2 (Soul Transformation Realm 10th stage)(Perfection Realm 10th stage)
* Points: 48,563,093
"Now, let's buy another grandpa!" he thought. His points are enough for another, so he didn’t intend to waste time and bought it.
"Buy a Perfection Realm grandpa: 33,554,432 points + 20% - Confirm?"
Jack clicked on 'Confirm' with no hesitation.
" - 40,265,138 Points – remaining points: 8,297,955"
* Name: Jack (Peak Void Soul Realm)
* Main mission: Conquer the World

A mysterious lamp appeared in Jack's hand; his brand-new grandpa was hiding inside it. He stroked the lamp, and a transparent man in a suit with a young face emerged.
"You don’t look like a grandpa!" This was the first thing Jack said. Of course, among cultivators, looks are not indicative of age; still, Jack expects a 'grandpa' to look like a Grandpa, not like a young man in a modern-looking suit.
"Brat, I am as old as the world itself!" The grandpa seemed a little offended.
"I am Jack; what's your name, new grandpa?" Jack asked asked.
The man in the suit looked at Jack doubtfully and then said, "You can call me Chief Contractor. I can help you in your journey; in return, you have to help me get rid of this lamp; do we have a deal?"
"Okay, whatever," Jack said, and without waiting for the man's response, he sent 'Chief Contractor' back to the lamp.
"At this rate, it would probably take a few billion years before I gather enough grandpas to dominate the world! My system is too low level; I should upgrade it as soon as possible!" Jack thought.
Upgrading the system would be a great help. For example, if his system was 'very advanced,' grandpas of perfection level would have cost far less, and the extra 10% for each grandpa would have been removed.
...
Master Firepower looked at his system interface.
* Name: Firepower
* Cultivation level: Perfection Realm 10th stage
* Law: Complete Fire (0.11003%) +
* Points: 1,307,849
Even after a thousand years, despite his best efforts, he only managed to get his comprehension of complete fire law to 0.1%; the progress was very slow, but that is compared to a mortal's lifespan. Compared to millions of years of Daoist Firepower had lived, his progress was actually lightning fast.
Master Firepower has been hunting protagonists for thousands of years; still, there is much more to be done before he can upgrade his system. But if he succeeds in doing it, his progress speed will be much faster than it is.
Everyone in this world has limited time; the law of time here is very sturdy. It's very hard to create subworlds with faster time progression. Even immortals have to divide their time carefully; even if they can live forever, the world around them moves with them. If they slack off, other perfection cultivators may overtake them; nobody wants to be left behind by their peers, not even perfection cultivators.
In the last 1,000 years, Master Firepower cared less about earning points and more about hunting protagonists. It's not as if hunting protagonists is in tension with earning points, but still, there is a difference. If he had not been looking for so many protagonists to kill, he may have been able to reach 0.15% of his complete fire law. Still, he believed upgrading the system was worth the investment.
...
Albert looked at his system interface.
* Name: Immortal Master Extreme Demon
* Cultivation: Perfection Realm, 10th Stage
* Do Good Points: 9,012,912,526,800 - System Store
* System Skill: Anonymous
* Anonymous: Nobody can know your true identity
He has been saving DG points for over 1,000 years. He didn’t spend any of his points for one simple reason: Daoist Firepower.
As a peak perfection, he was aware of the notorious 10-element cultivator from the other world who had been hunting protagonists; he didn’t want to be targeted, so he remained in this place and kept a low profile. His system has the 'anonymous' skill, which keeps his identity hidden, but if he buys a perfection realm silver dragon or something, he would definitely be exposed. Something as big as a new perfection realm dragon out of nowhere would attract everyone's attention.
He first plans to collect enough points to buy at least 1,000,000 perfection realm pets. Once he has enough points, he would buy peak perfection realm fire dragons, silver dragons, giants, etc., and take over everything overnight.
The reason he plans to save so many DG points to but a million pets, even though even 10,000 may be enough, is actually easy to understand. His Do Good system is strong, but it actually has two functions. If he does good deeds, it would add points, but it also works in reverse; if he does bad deeds, it would deduct points.
Now, think of what would happen if he let thousands of perfection beasts break loose and start fighting with other perfection cultivators; that would cause the death of countless mortals. If he does it, his points would go deep into the negative. Albert still doesn’t know what happens if it goes negative but prefers never to find out.
Therefore, his challenge is not just defeating the perfection and elemental cultivators but also doing it in a harmless way to mortals. The only way to do it is to have an overwhelming advantage, like having millions of perfection realm pets to act all together.
But it's easier said than done; even with his very overpowered system, it would take a long time.
