Chapter 455 - 242, Dragon and Tiger Dao Principle, Yin and Yang Great Dao_2
Chapter 455 - 242, Dragon and Tiger Dao Principle, Yin and Yang Great Dao_2
"Could it be... that supplementing the Dragon and Tiger Dao Principle in the Human King physique could achieve the Human Emperor Body?"
"Is the Human Emperor Body the consummation of the Human King physique?"
Xu Xing had speculations in his heart.
However, at this moment, he was still a guest at Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch’s place, so it was not appropriate for him to immerse himself in pondering the mysteries of the Dragon and Tiger Dao Principle. He withdrew the Xuan Yellow Qi from his palm, tucked his sleeves, and thanked Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch, ending this enlightenment session.
The dao rhyme lingering in his divine soul had already dissipated the moment the Dragon Qi Dao Principle condensed.
"Your talent, Daoist friend, is truly enviable."
"We’ve also had this Standing Snow Tea before, but it took us a dozen years to condense our life’s Dao Principle after drinking it..."
Jade Balance Taoist Lord picked up the Tea Cup, toasted Xu Xing, and then said with a smile.
The life’s Dao Principle is the Dao Principle contained within the Cultivator’s Dao Pill. Only after achieving the Nascent Soul can this Dao Principle be extracted from the body and mastered.
"Jade Balance Daoist friend, you are too kind."
Xu Xing maintained humility, touched cups with him, and returned the courtesy.
Up until now, his Immortal Base and Dao Pill that he had condensed all belonged to the Innate, and his talent had long reached an extreme height. Even without the Bronze Ancient Mirror, with his current possessions, it should not be difficult to reach the peak of the Human Realm through steady progress. If it weren’t for this cup of Standing Snow Tea, he would have been able to condense the Dragon and Tiger Dao Principle in a few more years. The difference lay solely in the speed. It was just a matter of two or three years earlier.
"Daoist Xu, your second Heavenly Thunder Tribulation featured blood thunder, followed by wind disaster and fire disaster... Your resulting Nascent Soul is likely the legendary Immortal Nascent..."
After half an hour of conversation, Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch hesitated for a moment, but finally, he couldn’t resist the curiosity in his heart. His eyes brightened as he looked at Xu Xing and spoke.
The Nascent Soul condensed by Cultivators has a similar ranking system to that of the Dao Pill Realm. However, it’s no longer divided into nine ranks. Below the Immortal Nascent, all are mortal nascents. Even though there are various levels of mortal nascents, such as the small-scale distinction between the Three Different Levels: Heaven, Earth, and Human; the difference in Dao Principles and the difference in size... After all, due to the different cultivation methods, the Dao Pills and Nascent Soul formed can vary greatly. Some Nascent Souls may appear small and not as robust as others, but their Dao Principle levels might be far superior to those appearing more robust. However, no matter how mortal nascents are divided, the high level of an Immortal Nascent cannot be faked, as only an Immortal Nascent has the possibility to give birth to a wisp of Immortal Qi within the body. This trace of Immortal Qi doesn’t mean much to Immortals, but for Cultivators, it is a major opportunity related to the chance of becoming immortal. In the Mortal Realm, also known as the Human Realm, Immortal Qi is extremely rare and scarce, with only some ancient great sects possibly possessing a wisp of it. One can see how precious it is.
"Immortal Nascent?"
Upon hearing this word, Xu Xing’s expression faltered, and he glanced at the location of his Mother-Child Twinned Nascent Soul with curiosity. During his Returning Core Realm, he had already become the Sect’s abandoned disciple. Although he later joined the Immeasurable Sect and Pill Cauldron Sect, he was limited by his cultivation level, vision, and status. So, while he understood the knowledge of the Dao Pill levels, he struggled with the Nascent Soul levels.
As for the Immortal Nascent, just hearing its name, Xu Xing knew that an Immortal Nascent wouldn’t be comparable to ordinary Nascent Souls; otherwise, it wouldn’t be called "Immortal."
The Cultivation World does not use the word "Immortal" as recklessly as ignorant mortals.
"Hmm... Daoist Xu actually doesn’t know about the Immortal Nascent? That makes sense. Although you received a secret decree from Sect Master Ren, you left Flying Feather Immortal Palace at an early age, and the Immortal Nascent... It’s hard for Cultivators to form..."
"Even those with Immortal Bodies may not necessarily form an Immortal Nascent when they undergo Nascent Formation..."
Seeing Xu Xing’s puzzled expression, Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch was also surprised. But after thinking for a moment, he understood the reason for Xu Xing’s ignorance of the Immortal Nascent.
In less than three hundred years, Xu Xing had successfully completed Nascent Formation and become a Dao Lord. Such a person must have devoted themselves to cultivation.
Furthermore, there is always some difference between being nurtured within the Sect and being brought up outside it.
After the Flying Feather Immortal Palace revolution, the matter of Sect Master Ren Yuanrui being imprisoned by Chi Yuan and Gong Family Saint Lord had been widely known in East Huangzhou...
Since Ren Yuanrui was imprisoned, communication between him and Xu Xing... must not have been too smooth, and some of the inheritance might inevitably have been missed.
As for whether Xu Xing deceived him and Starfall Sect...
Firstly, a secret decree cannot be faked.
Secondly, Xu Xing’s talent is evident to all. With his talent, he could have been treated well by joining an aristocratic family’s lineage, not being reduced to the bottom level like ordinary commoner disciples.
Lastly, Xu Xing is now a Nascent Soul Daoist Lord with boundless prospects. Even if Xu Xing was lying, Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch would still pinch his nose and believe it to be true.
Xu Xing can now leave the Starfall Sect, but the Starfall Sect might not be able to leave Xu Xing.
「Soon.」
Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch and Jade Balance Taoist Lord were telling Xu Xing about Starfall Sect’s records of the Immortal Nascent.
"Nascent Soul Cultivators are half-immortal beings walking in the Human Realm, with a high probability of proving the Dao and becoming immortal..."
"They are also called ’Immortal Exiled to Mortal Realm’."
Jade Balance Taoist Lord said solemnly.
Having said that, he stared straight at Xu Xing, his face filled with anticipation.
If they could observe the Immortal Qi, the opportunity would be even more precious than the inheritance of the Flying Feather Immortal Palace mentioned by Xu Xing earlier.
"Immortal Exiled to Mortal Realm..."
Xu Xing looked at the panel and understood some things after seeing the [Banished Immortal] Immortal Fate.
[Banished Immortal (Six Commandments): The forgotten pearl of the Immortal World, exiled to the Mortal Realm. The Nascent Soul contains a trace of Innate Immortal Qi, nourishing the physical body.]
This time, his Nascent Soul was indeed an Immortal Nascent; otherwise, the Six Commandments Immortal Order of [Banished Immortal] would not have appeared.
"The trace of Immortal Qi in the Nascent Soul... I have just started cultivating in the Nascent Soul Realm and have not yet discovered the Immortal Qi within my body, which has disappointed the two Daoist friends..."
"After a period of time, when I have completely mastered the Nascent Soul, I will explore it again. What do the two Daoist friends think?"
Xu Xing’s eyes flickered, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth. He apologized to Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch and the other before speaking.
No matter whether he had a trace of Immortal Qi in his body, at this moment, it was not appropriate to openly admit that he had this trace of Immortal Qi.
After finishing these words, Xu Xing put down the Tea Cup in his hand and pondered, "Now that I have become a Nascent Soul Cultivator, it is time to honor my promise and obtain the Sect Master’s Inheritance. The Nascent Soul cultivation technique promised to the two Daoist friends, I... will not break my promise."
Before his breakthrough in cultivation in the Starfall Sect’s Blessed Land, he had discussed with Sect Master Fang the matter of trading a Nascent Soul cultivation technique with the Starfall Sect. However, this deal had always been in the negotiation stage, not yet mutually promised. The spirit pills and resources provided to him by the Starfall Sect were actually on loan.
However, after giving them a big stick, there should naturally be some sweet carrot; otherwise, alienation or betrayal might occur between the two parties.
Therefore, he took the initiative to offer a concession, stating that after obtaining the Sect Master’s Inheritance, he would give the Nascent Soul cultivation technique to the Starfall Sect.
"This is the Void Heaven Jade."
"After the Heavenly Tribulation, the spirituality of this Jade has been damaged... I owe the Starfall Sect this favor."
Then, Xu Xing took out the Void Heaven Jade and placed it on the stone table, pushing it toward Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch’s position while speaking.
"Daoist Xu, you are too polite."
"It is we who have been too hasty. The Nascent Soul is the secret of a Cultivator and concerns one’s life and fortune..."
Seeing this, Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch immediately understood the meaning of Xu Xing’s words. He shook his head, pushed the Void Heaven Jade back in front of Xu Xing, and said.
Greedy Wolf acknowledged Xu Xing’s declaration of owing a favor concerning the Void Heaven Jade.
The implication was that although Xu Xing acknowledged this debt, once repaid, there would be no further connection between the Starfall Sect and him.
A Cultivator with an Immortal Body who had hopes of becoming immortal, and who had very likely condensed an Immortal Nascent...
As long as such a person did not fall, they would surely become a Nascent Soul Saint Monarch and would definitely reach the pinnacle of the Human Realm in the future.
For a "trivial matter."
Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch and Jade Balance Taoist Lord were not foolish enough to ruin the future prospects of the Starfall Sect.
Although they were reluctant to part with the Void Heaven Jade, it had suffered a great loss of spirituality after the Tribulation Crossing. If they kept it, it would likely be shelved, and they wouldn’t dare use it. It was better to be straightforward and give it to Xu Xing as a personal favor.
The Void Heaven Jade was a relic left by the Yin Wind Sect Saint Monarch. Starfall Sect, a minor sect, dared not keep this hot potato for long.
It was one thing if it hadn’t appeared, but once it did, the Yin Wind Sect was bound to cause trouble.
People of the Demon Way are usually cunning, vicious, and calculating; that is the norm.
Generous and straightforward Demonic cultivators are just figments of imagination in storybooks.
"In that case..."
"Then I thank you both, Daoist friends."
After a moment’s thought, Xu Xing also understood Greedy Wolf Dao Monarch’s concerns. He nodded and reattached the Void Heaven Jade to his waist, using it as a protective Artifact.
The Higher Teachings and the Lower Sect are different.
Although he now possessed the Void Heaven Jade, and it might bring trouble, it wouldn’t be too significant.
