Dilemma, Deliberation, and the Source of Nascent Soul Level Assistance
Chapter 137 Dilemma, Deliberation, and the Source of Nascent Soul Level Assistance… (Please vote!)
More than a decade later.
Han Li, having ended his seclusion, found himself in a state of inner turmoil.
"Should I go all out and try to break through to the Nascent Soul stage? Or should I play it safe and deal with the Xuan Bone first, then enter the Void Heaven Palace to get the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, and then refine the Nine-Bend Spirit Pill with the Agate Horn and the Demon-Accompanying Grass?"
This Nine-Bend Elixir is a wonderful thing.
It is made primarily from the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.
When taken during the formation of the fetus, it can help resist the severe pain caused by the reversal of meridians during the process of breaking down the elixir and forming the fetus.
The effect is surprisingly good.
It is said to double the chance of conceiving.
"I am a pseudo-spiritual root cultivator. Whether it is Foundation Establishment or Core Formation, the difficulty is several times that of a dual-spiritual root cultivator."
"Reaching the Nascent Soul stage will probably not be easy either."
“Even more difficult.”
Because the environment of heaven and earth has deteriorated significantly, those who can form a core are mostly those with dual spiritual roots, or those with even better spiritual root aptitude, such as those with unique spiritual roots or heavenly spiritual roots, or those with special physiques that rely more on cultivation techniques for additional benefits.
Those who can form their core with the aptitude of three spiritual roots are already extremely rare. Among them, those who can reach the late stage of core formation are even fewer.
They are exceptional individuals.
It's basically hopeless to try to form a nascent soul again.
After all, many geniuses with dual spiritual roots, special physiques, or heterogeneous spiritual roots in the pseudo-infant stage perish at the Nascent Soul stage.
Some unlucky individuals with celestial spiritual roots also face numerous dangers when forming their nascent souls, and many ultimately fail at the last hurdle.
Of course, in ancient times, there may have been instances of individuals forming their Nascent Souls with the aptitude of three spiritual roots in the Chaotic Star Sea. However, in the last thousand or thousand years, such cases have not been heard of at all.
In this day and age, the mainstream method for achieving Nascent Soul formation still relies on Heavenly Spiritual Roots.
Secondly, there are those with unique spiritual roots and special physical constitutions.
Those who have dual spiritual roots and have formed an infant are extremely rare.
The idea of having three spiritual roots is basically out of the question.
The idea of a pseudo-spiritual root forming an infant is pure wishful thinking.
His ability to cultivate to the current pseudo-infant stage is unprecedented and likely unique in the past 60,000 to 70,000 years since ancient times.
The resources gained from the Crimson Forbidden Land laid an extremely solid foundation, providing ample Foundation Establishment Pills and Foundation Establishment stage resources. Furthermore, the wealth left behind by the transformed demon cultivator aided in completing the fourth stage, providing a large quantity of raw materials and finished pills for purchasing rare Foundation Establishment stage pills. Upon arriving at Azure Spirit Island, the rapid advancement of the top-grade spiritual veins further saved him the three to five hundred years that Core Formation cultivators typically spend accumulating in the Core Formation stage.
It saves one from hundreds of years of arduous cultivation.
Any gain from such an event is an immense stroke of luck for a Core Formation cultivator.
However, he won three games in succession.
And in every game, he ate the lion's share, or even ate all the food himself.
Even so, his confidence in achieving Nascent Soul was not at its peak.
"My [Great Evolution Technique], after years of quiet cultivation, is almost ready to complete the fourth level of cultivation."
The shortcoming is that one's heart is tempered by worldly affairs.
Either take the path of ruthlessness, severing all ties and bonds. The consequence is a drastic change in temperament, making one prone to embarking on the path of demonic cultivation.
Alternatively, face all your concerns and entanglements squarely and clarify your true pursuits.
The latter would be better off visiting those they cherish.
This is the fourth key level of the Great Evolution Technique.
"Speaking of which, the first level of the Great Evolution Technique can double the spiritual sense of a Foundation Establishment cultivator. The second level can enhance it by two or three times in the middle and late stages of Foundation Establishment."
Although they cannot compare to Core Formation stage cultivators, they are in a league of their own among Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.
"We've reached the third floor..."
"If one cultivates the third level during the Foundation Establishment stage, the amplified primordial spirit and divine sense can allow a pseudo-core cultivator to possess primordial spirit and divine sense strength that rivals that of a core cultivator. Once the core is formed, the primordial spirit and divine sense undergo the baptism of primordial energy during core formation and various transformations, and the initial strength of the divine sense can almost be comparable to that of a late-stage core cultivator."
After decades of accumulation, surpassing even the late-stage Core Formation realm is a piece of cake.
of course.
This is a high-level effect that can only be achieved by mastering the third level of the Great Evolution Technique before forming the Core.
If you cultivate it after reaching the Core Formation stage, the enhancement will not be as significant.
The reason why the Great Evolution God Lord entrusted the original body to choose someone with a strong innate primordial spirit, namely Shi Jian, as his successor, lies in this.
Before the Core Formation stage, the stronger the primordial spirit and divine sense, the more obvious the advantages of this cultivation technique will be.
In the original trajectory, Han Li, with the third level of the Great Evolution Technique and the cultivation of the late Core Formation stage, already had a spiritual sense strength that rivaled that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Upon reaching the fourth level of the cultivation technique, the enhancement of divine sense is even greater. The divine sense strength of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator combined with the fourth level of the Great Evolution Technique probably surpasses that of most early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators who do not excel in divine sense."
It is no exaggeration to say that Nascent Soul cultivators and Core Formation cultivators are no longer the same species.
The difference in their spiritual perception is like night and day.
In the ordinary late stage of Qi Refining, the distance is one or two hundred feet.
During the foundation-building stage, the distance ranges from several miles to over ten miles. It rarely exceeds fifteen miles.
In the early stages of Core Formation, the distance is twenty to thirty li.
Late stage of Core Formation, more than forty miles.
In the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm, the distance is nearly a hundred miles.
Mid-Nascent Soul stage, 160-170 li.
A weak late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, over two hundred miles away.
The strong ones can reach three hundred li.
However, the amplification of divine sense brought by the fourth level of the Great Evolution Technique can make the divine sense of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator surpass that of an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, which shows how effective it is.
If one enters the Nascent Soul stage with the spiritual strength of the fourth level of the Great Evolution Technique, and experiences the amplification gained from another major realm baptism, the spiritual strength of a newly promoted early Nascent Soul can completely achieve the spiritual transformation that only a few mid-Nascent Soul cultivators can do. They can even compete with veteran mid-Nascent Soul cultivators in terms of spiritual strength without being at a disadvantage and with ease.
Even more impressively, it rivals the divine sense of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
The original owner of this body had already done that.
This is the terrifying effect granted by the fourth level of the Great Evolution Technique.
therefore.
If he possessed the spiritual strength of a Nascent Soul stage before shattering his core and forming his nascent soul, his success rate in finally forming his nascent soul would undoubtedly increase significantly.
It's the same principle as having a divine sense comparable to that of a Core Formation stage cultivator beforehand, which can greatly increase the success rate of Core Formation.
In other words, he must undergo the trials and tribulations of this mortal world.
Otherwise, the fourth level of the Great Evolution Technique would have kept him stuck for a long time.
If the fourth level cannot be perfected in time, the chances of forming the Nascent Soul are not so great.
Besides the Great Evolution Technique.
He still needs to change several factors. One is to spend more time refining the medicinal power of the [Heaven-Mending Pill] to cleanse his spiritual root and continuously enhance its ability to absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth. This is to improve the aptitude of his spiritual root.
His current spiritual root aptitude is close to that of a dual spiritual root. If he could approach the level of a top-tier special physique and a unique spiritual root, that would be even better.
This is also of great benefit to the formation of a nascent soul.
The Heaven-Mending Pill was originally prepared by the ancient Ice Soul Fairy for cultivators with ordinary spiritual roots.
Even with a unique spiritual root, a top-tier special physique, or a celestial spiritual root, consuming the Heaven-Mending Pill wouldn't make much difference.
"Speaking of which, I've already refined and absorbed most of the smaller Heaven-Mending Pills left behind by Ji Xuan, as well as the complete Heaven-Mending Pill left by the Lord of the Forbidden Land for a destined person. I also took this complete Heaven-Mending Pill ten years ago and began refining it to give my spiritual root a second baptism..."
Refining as much of the Heaven-Mending Pill's medicinal power as possible can also increase the success rate of Nascent Soul formation.
However, there is a lack of time.
Even if he stopped focusing on improving his magical power after reaching the False Infant stage and instead concentrated on cultivating the Great Evolution Technique and refining the medicinal power of the Heaven-Mending Pill, it would still take him at least thirty years to fully refine the complete version of the medicinal power.
In short, there was also a lack of time.
Subsequently.
It's an invasion of inner demons.
This is something that must be faced when one is in the process of condensing the infant spirit.
"I have a [Cleansing Spirit Pill] left behind by the Lord of the Forbidden Land, which can greatly increase resistance to inner demons. However, it's still a bit risky. It would be best to get the string of Bodhi beads that Ji Yin has."
An extra layer of protection.
Next is the issue of the [spiritual vein environment].
If one attempts to form a Nascent Soul on Biling Island, the success rate will undoubtedly increase significantly. Sufficient spiritual energy is essential.
But this place is too important.
This concerns cultivation at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, the Nascent Soul stage, and even the Deity Transformation stage.
There must be absolutely no mistakes here.
It is best not to choose this place for Nascent Soul formation, but rather to go to other spiritual vein treasure lands.
Anyway, he has more than twenty Spirit Eye Pearls, thousands of high-grade spirit stones he has mined over the years, and millions of mid-grade spirit stones he has casually dug up. He also has three Spirit Eye Trees that can be transplanted and more than ten Spirit Eye Stones.
Even if the Spirit Eye Spring cannot be moved, it is still enough to artificially construct a high-quality spiritual vein.
What's more.
these years.
He also imitated the method of condensing the "Blood Spirit Diamond" by the evil spirit and the method of condensing relics by Buddhism, and used his powerful divine sense to compress the magic power and true essence in his body to condense two [pseudo-golden pills].
These two pseudo-golden pills could not bring about any transformation to his body, but they contained extremely abundant pure primordial energy.
Each one is comparable to the entire mana and true essence reserves of a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.
If it dissipates when breaking through to a higher realm, it can nourish the physical body and provide an additional source of pure spiritual energy.
This step, while not exactly innovative, does offer a small idea for breaking through the boundaries between different realms.
Whether it's a Blood Spirit Diamond or a Buddhist relic, both are condensations of one's vital energy. Not only can they be used as weapons to fight enemies, but they can also be used to break through bottlenecks in one's life.
Even a cultivator's nascent soul can disperse to nourish their physical body.
The original body smuggled itself into the Spirit Realm, but due to severe injuries and the residual curses within its body, it had to actively disperse its nascent soul.
The dissipated essence of the nascent soul became a major reliance for his rapid advancement in cultivation when he later practiced the "Brahma Saint True Demon Art".
The appearance of pseudo-Golden Core is similar to the dissipation of the Nascent Soul to nourish the physical body, solidify the foundation, and provide energy.
...
He refined his heart amidst the mortal world, mastering the fourth level of the Great Evolution Technique.
Thirty years of refining, perfectly absorbing the medicinal power of the Heaven-Mending Pill.
The Mind-Clearing Pill is very helpful in fighting inner demons.
A superior spiritual vein, a pseudo-Golden Core, a large number of high-grade spirit stones and spirit eye pearls, a spirit eye tree and spirit eye stones can provide an excellent environment for Nascent Soul formation.
Finally, and very importantly, is the Nine-Bend Elixir, which has a remarkable effect on shattered elixirs and the formation of nascent souls.
What he lacked most was the Nine-Bend Spirit Pill! He lacked the refining method in Xuan Gu's possession!
"Perhaps, I can also seize the Brahma Pearl to increase my resistance to inner demons."
"Should we get another Spirit-Stabilizing Pill as an extra layer of insurance?"
The most dangerous thing is to overcome inner demons.
One wrong move and the whole game is lost.
"Furthermore, it would be even better if we could obtain the method for preparing the Ming and Qing spiritual water in advance."
then.
He was confused.
The dilemma is whether to attempt Nascent Soul formation before or after the Void Heaven Palace.
The difference between the two is quite significant.
If you fail the first time, it will be much more difficult to try again.
By then, he might not be able to produce an ancient, top-grade elixir like the Spirit-Clearing Pill.
It's unknown how long it will take to recover from the damage to one's vital essence.
"However, entering the Void Heaven Palace at only the Nascent Soul stage will yield far fewer gains. It will be very difficult to snatch the Void Heaven Cauldron from the tiger's mouth."
This is really a dilemma.
"wrong."
"Even if I become a Nascent Soul cultivator, I still wouldn't be able to take away the Void Heaven Cauldron this time."
Because he didn't have the protective divine thunder of the Golden Thunder Bamboo, he couldn't deal with the Azure Ice Flame at all!
The Azure Ice Flame is a spiritual fire at the late Nascent Soul stage, and those below the Nascent Soul level have no way to deal with it.
Only the Asura Sacred Fire created by Xuan Gu can temporarily refine some of it.
But he wasn't a ghost cultivator, so he couldn't cultivate the Asura Sacred Fire evolved from the Profound Soul Yin Fire.
"My goal for this Void Heaven Palace instance is not the Void Heaven Cauldron, but just some things from it, such as Silver Moon... that will be enough."
Whether one cultivates at the Pseudo-Infant stage or the Nascent Soul stage, there is little difference.
The real danger lies on the fourth level of the inner sanctuary!
We found the room where the golden thunder bamboo was stored!
In this process, he will inevitably encounter Nascent Soul level inner palace puppets and face various Nascent Soul level monsters!
How can I be fearless against those Nascent Soul level puppets and Nascent Soul cultivators?
How can we successfully break through the ancient restrictions protecting the Golden Thunder Bamboo?
Ultimately, he still needs to possess the strength of the Nascent Soul stage.
He himself did not want to rush into the Nascent Soul stage, as the risks were simply too great.
If he can't do it himself, how can he obtain assistance from a Nascent Soul level expert?
The baby's 4D ultrasound showed a low abdominal circumference, so my wife and I spent a long time at the hospital. We didn't get home until after 5 pm. Sorry for posting this so late.
I'll go make dinner for my wife first, and then I'll have some to eat too.
There is another chapter tonight.
