Chapter 446 - 238, Golden Crow Dharma Phase, mother and child twin nascent
「Several days later.」
「Starfall Sect’s Blessed Land.」
「Inside, a Cave Mansion.」
Xu Xing looked at the various treasures floating in the air—Boundary-breaking Spirit Pills and Spirit Materials needed to cultivate several Demonic Techniques—a slight smile touched his lips. During these days, the Starfall Sect had been constantly collecting and trading for them from various places, then sending them to his mansion. The power a medium-sized Sect could unleash when fully committed was incomparable to that of ordinary True Monarchs or Dao Lords. The Spirit Materials Xu Xing had struggled to find in the markets of the two prefectures were quickly gathered by the Starfall Sect, with nothing missing.
The Immeasurable Sect and the Starfall Sect... I deceived them both. However, the day I achieve the Nascent Soul and Primordial Spirit realms is not far off. That is when I shall repay these two sects... Xu Xing shook his head.
The Immeasurable Sect faced a crisis because time was running out for their Ze Sheng Ancestor. To avoid annihilation by their mortal enemy, Silver Ring Zhai, they desperately needed their only remaining Golden Rainbow Ancestor to break through his cultivation. He had to become a Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator to protect their sect. The Starfall Sect, on the other hand, sought a Primordial Spirit-level cultivation method to enhance their sect’s foundation and raise the upper limits of their cultivators. He could fulfill both of these requests once he reached the Nascent Soul Realm. So, it wasn’t exactly deception, after all.
First, let me raise my cultivation.
Xu Xing suppressed the various thoughts in his mind, opened the Pill Bottle, took out a Boundary-breaking Spirit Pill, and swallowed it. Immediately afterward, he activated his Dao Pill and began to absorb the Spiritual Energy of the Blessed Land at full force.
In an instant, a powerful suction force emerged from around his body. The Spiritual Energy outside the Cave Mansion was continuously drawn in. First, the Spiritual Energy turned into mist; then, it condensed into spiritual liquid, accumulating bit by bit until it submerged half of his body. Blessed Lands were generally the secluded cultivation places of Nascent Soul Daoist Lords and Primordial Spirit Sage Monarchs. The powerful spiritual pressure within them could easily crush a True Monarch’s physical body. A Dao Pill True Monarch like Xu Xing, who was not only unafraid of the spiritual pressure of the Blessed Land but also dared to absorb the Spiritual Energy within it at full force, was extremely rare.
「Shaoqing,」
Above Xu Xing’s Cave Mansion, a spiritual energy funnel a hundred zhang in size appeared and began to crazily sweep up the surrounding Spiritual Energy.
The Spiritual Energy being drawn into the Cave Mansion isn’t disordered, but orderly, following a certain pattern... This strange phenomenon appeared, and Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch, who was cultivating in the Blessed Land, immediately noticed it. His eyes flickered with golden light as he observed the profound principles at play. After a moment, he murmured in surprise.
Cultivators usually attracted Spiritual Energy in a mostly disordered manner. However, Xu Xing attracted Spiritual Energy from the Blessed Land as if he were a marshal commanding soldiers and horses: orderly and well-arranged.
Could it be... the power of the "Human Emperor Body"’s Immortal Body? Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch guessed. Immortal Body cultivators possessed the qualifications to become immortals, and Immortal Bodies were rare even in the Higher Teachings; thousands of years might pass before one appeared. The "Human Emperor Body" was an even rarer constitution among Immortal Bodies. Various sect Classics only briefly mentioned the "Human Emperor Body," stating that it could be used to establish an Immortal Dynasty, and that was all.
If he can absorb so much Spiritual Energy, his achievement of the Nascent Soul Realm will surely be extraordinary. He might even form the legendary... Immortal Nascent. Watching the massive amount of Spiritual Energy being absorbed by Xu Xing, a flash of pain crossed Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch’s face, quickly followed by secret anticipation.
Abundant Magic Power in a cultivator didn’t necessarily indicate high aptitude, only that their foundation was solid. Some special cultivation methods could also build a strong foundation, resulting in Magic Power surpassing that of peers at the same realm. High aptitude meant purity—Magic Power of pure quality, without a trace of impurity. However, Xu Xing was absorbing an immense amount of Spiritual Energy, leading to a qualitative change born from quantity. The aptitude of his "Human Emperor Body" thus needed no further mention.
If he can achieve the legendary Immortal Nascent, I will protect him at all costs, even if I have to sacrifice the Starfall Sect’s foundation... Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch took a deep breath. An Immortal Body only signified the potential to become an immortal, while an Immortal Nascent was equivalent to a Half Immortal. An Immortal Exiled to Mortal Realm!
...
「Time passed day by day.」
Aided by the Boundary-breaking Spirit Pills and the dense Spiritual Energy of the Starfall Sect’s Blessed Land, Xu Xing’s cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds. His Dao Pill grew visibly larger each day. He had already broken through to the Seventh Stage of Dao Pill during the journey on the Sea-Crossing flying boat. Only two more transformations were needed to reach the Peak of Dao Pill cultivation.
「One year.」
「Two years.」
「Until the third year.」
As a sound like the roar of a dragon and the howl of a tiger echoed from within his body, Xu Xing performed an internal examination of his Dantian. His Dao Pill had suddenly grown larger by a circle. Its surface revealed dragon and tiger Dao patterns. When his gaze touched them, they released an immeasurable amount of light before hiding within, seemingly disappearing.
The realm of Dao Pill Nine Transformations... The Golden Core restrains its radiance, nurtures its natal spiritual light, establishes the root of Heaven and Earth, and thus gives birth to the Nascent Soul... Witnessing this, Xu Xing felt joy instead of alarm; this meant his cultivation in the Dao Pill Realm was almost complete. Next, he needed to prepare for Nascent Formation: to undergo Pill Fragment into Nascent Formation and achieve the status of a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord.
But first, no rush. I still need to cultivate the "Heavenly Yin Evil Skill" and the "Child-Mother Ghost Fetus Great Method"... Xu Xing pondered for a moment, then with a wave of his sleeve, he retrieved several ominous-looking demonic items from the pile of Spirit Materials floating before him and began to practice the Demonic Techniques.
Spiritual Objects themselves are neither good nor evil; it all depends on how they are used. Even those on the Righteous Path use demonic items for pill refinement or to practice certain cultivation methods. Indeed, some Buddhist and Daoist cultivation methods even allow one to enhance their cultivation by subjugating profane demonic items.
"Heavenly Yin Evil Skill"... Cultivate the Evil King Dharma Body; after Nascent Formation, the transformed Evil King Dharma Body will possess some abilities of a Primordial Spirit Dharma Phase... he thought to himself. When he purchased Demonic Techniques on Yanmo Island, out of nine, he had only taken a liking to three: the "Blood Shadow Golden Body Great Method," the "Heavenly Yin Evil Skill," and the "Wandering Dragon and Playful Phoenix Skill." There were reasons for his choices.
