Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 435 - 249: Eye of the Spiritual Vein, Impacting the Nascent Soul!

Qi Chuan was also somewhat curious about where the so-called High Tier Spiritual Vein Land that could aid in breaking through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm was located.

To his surprise, he found himself being led by Qingyun True Monarch into the deepest part of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, a place he had never been before.

Although he had stayed in the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect for quite a long time, he had never paid attention to or noticed this place, as if it was usually shielded by some kind of Concealing Array.

"May I ask, Supreme Elder, what is this place..." Qi Chuan had a vague guess in his heart, but he still turned to look at Qingyun True Monarch beside him.

"This is where I usually enter closed-door cultivation." Qingyun True Monarch stood with hands behind his back, explaining with a faint smile.

Indeed...

Qi Chuan secretly nodded, this matched his guess.

However, though the closed-door cultivation place of Qingyun True Monarch was not expected to be simple, it unexpectedly had the miraculous effect of aiding in breaking through to the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm, which he did not anticipate.

Having such a mystical place within the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect was also a kind of fortune, allowing the Core Formation True Masters within the sect to more easily break into the Nascent Soul True Monarch Realm, prolonging the sect’s heritage for many more years.

"You may not be aware..."

Knowing that Qi Chuan was visiting for the first time, Qingyun True Monarch, understanding his puzzlement, took the initiative to explain: "This is the core location of the Tier Four Middle Grade Spirit Vein of the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect. Inside, there is an Eye of the Spiritual Vein, which is key to aiding your Breaking Realm into Nascent Soul, and my Cave Mansion is built upon this Eye of the Spiritual Vein."

"Only a Tier Four Middle Grade Spirit Vein can give birth to an Eye of the Spiritual Vein."

"However, usually, the Eye of the Spiritual Vein cannot be disturbed because it connects to the entire Tier Four Middle Grade Spirit Vein of my Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect. Once released, the Spiritual Qi of the whole Tier Four Middle Grade Spirit Vein will start to dissipate continuously from the Eye of the Spiritual Vein. Over time, this Tier Four Middle Grade Spirit Vein will degrade to a Tier Four Lower Grade Spirit Vein, or even a Tier Three Top Grade Spirit Vein."

"If it degrades to a Tier Four Lower Grade Spirit Vein, it’s still acceptable, but if it degrades to a Tier Three Top Grade Spirit Vein, whether Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect can still give rise to Nascent Soul True Monarchs becomes an open question, and ultimately, it might fall to the fate of becoming a Core Formation Influence."

"Legend has it that when the founding ancestor of Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect discovered this Spirit Vein, it was a Tier Four Upper Grade Spirit Vein. However, due to the frequent use of the Eye of the Spiritual Vein over the years, it has degraded to the current Tier Four Middle Grade Spirit Vein."

"Therefore, even when I cultivate in the Cave Mansion, I dare not casually disturb the Eye of the Spiritual Vein; I merely cultivate by leveraging the denser Spiritual Qi near the Eye of the Spiritual Vein."

"This time, as you are on the verge of Breaking Realm, it is the opportune moment to use the Eye of the Spiritual Vein, as its primary function within the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect is to continuously give rise to new Nascent Soul True Monarchs, ensuring the enduring legacy and unbroken heritage of the Immortal Sect."

"I see..." Hearing this, Qi Chuan’s eyes revealed a dawning realization, and he immediately remarked, "But if this is the case, over time, wouldn’t it be inevitable for this Spirit Vein to degrade to Tier Four Lower Grade Spirit Vein, or even Tier Three Top Grade Spirit Vein?"

As the years go by, surely Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect will have to continually disturb the Eye of the Spiritual Vein to allow new Nascent Soul True Monarchs to emerge, leading to a constant loss of Spiritual Qi from this Tier Four Middle Grade Spirit Vein; its degradation seems unavoidable.

For a Nascent Soul Major Sect like Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect, this appears not to be good news.

It gives the impression that the Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect has a fixed lifespan, and when the time comes, it will deteriorate into a Core Formation Influence.

"Not so, for Tier Four Spirit Veins have their ability to recover slowly over time if the Eye of the Spiritual Vein is not disturbed. Hence, as long as we carefully manage the frequency of activating the Eye of the Spiritual Vein, the Immortal Sect can continue its legacy for many years," Qingyun True Monarch shook his head.

But in the next moment, he added: "However, it does take a very long time for it to recover. If a good frequency of activation is strictly adhered to, it might still fail to ensure that the Immortal Sect always has the protection of a Nascent Soul True Monarch, possibly leading to a gap where leadership is lacking. This is why this Spirit Vein was once Tier Four Upper Grade and is now Tier Four Middle Grade, so your observation is correct. The degradation of the Spirit Vein Grade, resulting in the sect becoming a Core Formation Influence, is sometimes unavoidable."

"But honestly, in the Cultivation Realm, what sect can claim to have an indestructible legacy? The rise and fall, waxing and waning, are merely the constants of the Heavenly Dao, and we can only do our best."

"What the Supreme Elder said is very true." Qi Chuan nodded, deeply agreeing.

When it becomes necessary to activate the Eye of the Spiritual Vein to give birth to new Nascent Soul True Monarchs and preserve the sect’s heritage, surely no Nascent Soul Major Sect would forsake the legacy for the sake of preventing the Spirit Vein from degrading.

And over time, as this situation occurs repeatedly, this Tier Four Middle Grade Spirit Vein will eventually become a Tier Three Top Grade Spirit Vein.

This is not merely an issue for Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect; it is a challenge faced by all Nascent Soul Major Sects within the Cultivation Realm.

Moreover, there is no perfect solution.

Perhaps in ancient times, there were many more Nascent Soul Major Sects in Beihua State, but due to the same problem, they gradually vanished over the long years.

"Back to the main point, let’s set aside others for now. The focus this time is on your breakthrough. When I broke through to Nascent Soul back then, I was outside the sect and did not use the Eye of the Spiritual Vein of this Immortal Sect. It hasn’t been disturbed for a long time, so your usage this time will not harm the Spirit Vein itself. You can rest assured and proceed with your breakthrough."
