The Choice of the Treasure

Chapter 78 The Choice of the Treasure

However, the choice of this natal treasure also requires careful consideration.

Some people choose to use readily available items, such as innate spiritual treasures or innate spiritual roots, or simply have others help them refine artifacts, and then they integrate their mind and spirit into them, refining them day and night, in order to complete the sequence of their natal treasures.

However, this method has no advantages other than being simple and convenient. The so-called natal treasure requires cultivating both body and mind, which can be considered another side of oneself. If one dies, one can be resurrected with the help of the natal treasure. However, at that time, one must switch to the path of weapon cultivation. But at least it is a second life.

In addition, one can entrust half of their mind to their natal treasure and leave it within the clan. When a crisis occurs, it can unleash its divine power, displaying power almost equal to their own. This is the origin of the clan's treasure.

The result is that you let someone else refine this magical artifact that is meant for cultivating both body and spirit. Naturally, it will be tainted by that person's energy. If you then cultivate both body and spirit with someone else, what will you become?

So, is this life-bound treasure cultivated through the dual cultivation of body and mind your life-bound treasure, or someone else's life-bound treasure?

So apart from those who are extremely foolish or those who are about to die and want to be resurrected but have no natal treasure, no one else would use it.

Even if one uses innate spiritual treasures or innate spiritual roots as their natal treasures, it would be extremely foolish.

The so-called innate is born in accordance with the Great Dao. Such spiritual treasures and roots naturally have their own reasons. Just as no two snowflakes are the same, how can the principles be the same?

Such cultivators were initially quite good. In fact, because they refined spiritual treasures and spiritual roots into their natal treasures, their cultivation level suddenly improved rapidly, surpassing that of other cultivators.

However, the further they cultivate, the narrower their path becomes, until eventually they reach a point where there is nowhere left to go. They can only watch others continue cultivating while they themselves remain stagnant.

At that time, you will either be reincarnated and start over, or you will have to destroy your natal treasure and start all over again, but it will be no different from being reincarnated and starting over.

So no matter what, you still have to refine your own natal treasure. It doesn't matter how badly you refine it. As long as you cultivate both your body and mind for a long time, you can still rival the world's most precious treasures and not fall behind!

Very few treasures can be effective for one's natal treasure. Most of them carry external energy that will defile the purity of the treasure. In the end, it will take a lot of effort to remove them, which is not worth the effort and will only hinder one's cultivation.

There is only one thing that is most effective, and that is the innate, indestructible spiritual light.

The Primordial Undying Spiritual Light is the purest origin in the world. It was formed from fragments of three great primordial treasures: the Heaven-Opening Divine Axe, the Primordial Green Lotus, and the Jade Tablet of Creation. After being nurtured by the Great Dao of the Primordial World, it eventually evolved into the Primordial Undying Spiritual Light.

This kind of spiritual light naturally contains the essence of all things, just like a dough that can be kneaded and shaped at will. Whether it is shaped into a biscuit or a bun, it can be used as one pleases, which is most suitable for the use of one's natal treasure.

This is the only path that can transform one's natal treasure into an innate spiritual treasure. Besides, only a divine object like the Qiankun Cauldron can transform the acquired into the innate.

Although the innate, indestructible spiritual light also has its own major paths, it is still a path that can be reached.

"With two senior uncles helping me promote the path of mental cultivation, I will surely be able to enlighten the life force of the Western world. At that time, my vow will be fulfilled, and I will naturally be able to step into the Taiyi realm. So there is no need to rush this matter. I should also consider what kind of natal treasure I should refine."

Guang Chengzi transformed into golden light, traversing countless desolate deserts along the way. His Dao heart merged with the Heavenly Dao, attempting to obtain traces of the innate, indestructible spiritual light.

Although he had already become a post-natal deity, and could withstand the erosion of the Great Dao without his own natal treasure, he had unexpectedly gained a treasure, so why not take it?

Guang Chengzi's current worry is what kind of natal treasure he should refine. Should it be like the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, which is solely for killing? Or should it be like the Heavenly Auspicious Clouds, which is unparalleled in defense? Or should it be like the Taiji Diagram, which is both offensive and defensive?

The shape of one's natal treasure is also important. As the saying goes, the Great Dao is formless, but cultivators have form, so the shape of one's natal treasure should also be carefully considered.

This is the other side of the Tao; if you choose the wrong path, you will immediately suffer the consequences.

For example, if one cultivates the Great Dao of Creation but chooses a weapon of slaughter, such as a sword, spear, or club, as their natal treasure, the form is incompatible with the Dao, and naturally it will not work.

At the same time, one's temperament must also be taken into consideration. If one's temperament is extreme, but one chooses objects like paintings, tripods, or furnaces that are moderate and balanced, one will still find them difficult to use.

Guang Chengzi is no longer considering the Great Way, but only how to choose in his heart.

Tu Ding Furnace?

Knife, needle, and gun?

Banners and flags?

A club-shaped sword?

Lotus Halberd Book?

Axe, mirror, and fork?

Guang Chengzi felt as if a myriad of objects were colliding with each other in his mind. With each collision, one object would fall, signifying that he himself did not want to use such a treasure.

After being struck countless times, countless objects were destroyed, but nine objects remained, hanging high in the sky like the sun, radiating boundless light into Guang Chengzi's heart.

No matter how these nine artifacts collided, none of them developed even the slightest crack. On the contrary, they became even more radiant and dazzling as a result.

"Is this the choice I truly made?"

Guang Chengzi casually landed on a sand dune, and a divine lightning bolt erupted from his palm. He struck the sand dune and shattered it into pieces.

Amidst the swirling sand and dust, a radiant light, resembling both a dragon and a snake, twisted and writhed, then surged upwards in the blink of an eye, seemingly attempting to leave this place.

But Guang Chengzi merely made a slight grab, as if an invisible cage had appeared, directly locking the radiance inside, and no matter how it struggled, it could not escape in the slightest.

This is the innate, indestructible spiritual light, a spiritual light that even the destruction of the West could not destroy.

Guang Chengzi absorbed this spiritual light and silently observed the nine objects that resembled the sun: a pagoda, a cloud, a banner, a diagram, a bell, a lotus, a gate, a book, and a staff.

Seeing these nine items appear, Guang Chengzi was also somewhat confused about which one to forge.

The mental collision technique he just used was meticulously created by the Primordial Celestial Venerable. As the saying goes, even you can deceive yourself; sometimes you may not even know what you want.

The method of collision, however, relies on instinct to change, and only when one is unaware of it will one not deceive oneself.

Guang Chengzi was surprised that even with his meticulous attention, nine items still appeared, leaving him somewhat bewildered.

However, Guang Chengzi quickly roused himself and eliminated the first six items. These might have been instinctive choices, but not choices made from the heart; they were merely driven by greed for their powerful abilities.
