Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 225: A Divine Transformation Stage Monk Without Divine Awareness
house.

Xie Shen was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Will it take three months?"

"What's the matter?" Li Xiu asked, "Is it too late?"

"It's still in time." Xie Shen explained, "But after I get the formation, I still need to spend some time studying it and making minor adjustments based on local conditions, so three months seems a bit rushed."

"Then I have no choice." Li Xiu said calmly: "This is the fastest speed I can guarantee."

Fine.

After hearing this, Xie Shen said no more.

After a moment of silence, Li Xiu asked again, "What level has the body you are currently controlling reached?"

Say it.

He also explained, "The reason why I ask you this question is because I plan to tailor a set of formations for you based on your level of cultivation."

"I have reached the early stage of the Golden Core." Xie Shen estimated: "If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage in three months."

"So fast?" Li Xiu was surprised. "I can understand that you can cultivate to the early stage of Jindan in just over a year."

"After all, you have the blessing of the divine consciousness of the Spiritual Transformation Stage, so your cultivation can be twice the result with half the effort."

"But as far as I know, it shouldn't be easy to cultivate from the Golden Core Stage all the way to the Nascent Soul Stage, right?"

"Even if you have divine consciousness, your speed cannot be this fast."

"You don't know this." Xie Shen replied to Li Xiu, "The planet I'm currently on is called Qiuyue Star."

"There is a very strange rule on Qiuyue Star."

"That is: even if the cultivators on this planet do nothing, their cultivation will automatically improve."

"It was fine before the Jindan stage, as the speed at which the cultivators' cultivation improved was not very obvious."

"But after reaching the Jindan stage, the speed is as outrageous as riding a rocket."

“It’s impossible to contain it.”

Xie Shen continued, "Because the speed of improvement is too fast, some cultivators even resort to taking poison, destroying their own meridians, or destroying their own purple palace to suppress their cultivation."

Li Xiu was a little confused by these words.

With a hint of curiosity in his tone, he asked, "What do you mean by suppressing cultivation? Why would you suppress cultivation for no reason?"

"This is a long story." After Xie Shen simply organized his words, he truthfully told Li Xiu all the information he knew about the fairy world.

Finally, he asked Li Xiu, "What do you think about the fairyland on Qiuyue Star?"

Inside the combat power detector.

Li Xiu answered without thinking: "I don't have any opinion. The main reason is that the information you provided is too little, so I can't help you analyze it at all."

"Nothing"

He continued, "If you are really afraid of the Immortal Realm, then I can use the Glass Cabinet of Truth to force you to extract some information."

“That’s possible.” Considering that the Glass Cabinet of Truth could only reveal the answers to true or false questions, Xie Shen gave a question and said, “Please help me ask: In the fairyland of Qiuyue Star, are there any cultivators at the Fusion Stage or the Return to Void Stage?”

"If the answer is yes, then help me figure out how many people there are and whether they can come to the underworld."

"If the answer is no, then we should try to figure out what is hiding in the fairy world."

"Is it an unspeakable creature, or something else?"

"Understood." After listening to Xie Shen's request, Li Xiu concluded: "Then in the next period of time, in addition to helping you develop defensive formations and weapons suitable for defense, I will also assign another group of people to try to obtain information about the fairy world from the glass cabinet of truth."

"So."

Li Xiu then asked, "Do you have any other questions? If not, I'll hang up now."

"No, contact me again."

Since everything that needed to be said had been said, Xie Shen took the initiative to cut off contact with Li Xiu.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and continued to practice the techniques he had learned to strengthen his own cultivation.

...

In the autumn moon star.

Because Jindan and Yuanying stage cultivators will receive the blessing of unknown power during their practice, their practice speed will be incredibly fast.

Therefore, Xie Shen, who had the cultivation level of the early Golden Core stage, successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul stage in less than a month.

At this point, Xie Shen didn't dare to continue practicing.

He was worried that if he continued to practice, his current body would directly break through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, and he would then be forcibly taken away by the Immortal Realm.

Since he couldn't practice and had nothing else to do, Xie Shen flew on a cloud to the nearest mortal settlement to the Tianqing Sect.

He did this, firstly to relax himself, and secondly to gather some useful information.

...

I don’t know why.

Although Qiuyue Star is a planet with severe pollution.

However, the mortal settlement has a population of hundreds of thousands, and its prosperity is far beyond Xie Shen's imagination.

Looking down from the clouds, one can see countless pedestrians coming and going on the main roads of the city.

The hawking and shouting of vendors on both sides of the street also continuously reached Xie Shen's ears.

It really has the air of everyday life.

Feeling touched, Xie Shen quickly used a spell to hide his body and quickly landed on the ground from mid-air.

After blending into the crowd without being noticed, Xie Shen bought sugar men, pancakes, gourd chicken, and special delicacies made with pig intestines from vendors along the street and tasted them one by one.

So I walked around the city as I pleased.

Before he knew it, Xie Shen arrived outside a wood carving shop located in a secluded alley.

At just one glance, he could tell that this shop was different.

——After exploring with his spiritual sense, Xie Shen discovered that every wood carving in this small shop looked like a living thing.

These wood carvings not only possess cultivation abilities, but also contain the spiritual consciousness unique to cultivators in the God Transformation Stage. It is as if these wood carvings are living cultivators in the God Transformation Stage.

interesting.

Driven by curiosity, Xie Shen walked straight into the hall.

He looked at the old man sitting in the wood carving shop, concentrating on carving a dragon and phoenix, and bowed to him, "Mo Xiaolei, a Yuanying stage cultivator of Tianqing Sect, greets you, fellow Taoist!"

In the small shop.

Hearing what Xie Shen said, the old man who was making the wood carving was suddenly shocked.

After being stunned for a few seconds, he put down the unfinished wood carving in his hand and showed an interested expression.

The old man looked at Xie Shen and said.

"To be honest with you, I have been living in seclusion here for nearly a hundred years, and have never been discovered by anyone."

“It’s no exaggeration to say that even if there was a Divine Transformation cultivator in front of me, he wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between me and a mortal.”

"So, fellow Daoist, how did you know that I'm a cultivator?"

Xie Shen had no idea who the old man in the wood carving shop was.

So, out of caution, he did not rush to respond directly to the other party, but just tried to test him: "I can sense that the reason why the wood carvings in your shop are so lifelike is because each of them contains your spiritual power."

"Am I right?" Xie Shen asked in confusion, "I'm very curious, why did you want to divide your spiritual power into the wood carving? Is there any reason for doing this?"

Seeing that Xie Shen revealed the secrets hidden in those wood carvings with just one sentence, the old man in the wood carving shop was shocked again.

He looked at Xie Shen with a little surprise and said, "How could you even figure this out? Who are you?"

Xie Shen clasped his fists and bowed, repeating what he had just said: "I am Mo Xiaolei, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage of the Tianqing Sect. Nice to meet you, fellow Taoist."

"Tianqing Sect?"

After discovering that Xie Shen was indeed extraordinary, the old man in the wood carving shop finally began to take Xie Shen seriously.

He first went into the inner hall, got some tea, spices, minced meat and vegetables, cast a spell to make a fire and boiled a pot of tea for Xie Shen.

After the tea boiled, the old man personally poured a full bowl for Xie Shen and asked Xie Shen a question.

"I see that you have already reached the Nascent Soul stage, and I'm afraid you will soon break through to the Spiritualization stage."

"Then may I ask, have you ever seriously thought about the difference between a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage and a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage?"

Can this be considered a problem?

Xie Shen said with a strange expression: "What difference can there be? The difference between a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage and a cultivator in the Nascent Soul Stage is that one has cultivated divine consciousness, while the other does not."

"You actually know about divine consciousness?!"

The moment Xie Shen uttered the word "consciousness", the old man suddenly stood up from his chair.

——Perhaps because he was too excited, the old man actually spilled most of the bowl of tea in his hand.

But the old man didn't care at all.

He stared at Xie Shen intently and said, "The fact that you can know the existence of divine consciousness means that you absolutely cannot be a member of the Tianqing Sect."

"One year ago, when the Tianqing Sect's God Transformation Stage Patriarch Bai Pingwen ascended to the Immortal Realm, I happened to be there."

"I saw it with my own eyes: although Bai Pingwen had reached the Spiritual Transformation Stage, he was unable to cultivate his spiritual consciousness."

"so."

The old man questioned Xie Shen, "Since the ancestors of the Tianqing Sect do not know the concept of spiritual consciousness, how can you, as an elder of the Tianqing Sect, know the existence of spiritual consciousness?"

Although Xie Shen is only an inner sect disciple of the Tianqing Sect, he has already reached the Nascent Soul stage.

So in the old man's eyes, it was assumed that Xie Shen was the elder of the Tianqing Sect.

The old man questioned Xie Shen, "Fellow Daoist, you and I are just casual acquaintances, and there is no deep hatred between us."

"We don't talk secretly between people in plain sight."

"Since you and I both know the concept of spiritual consciousness, why not make it clear?"

The old man clasped his fists towards Xie Shen with a serious look on his face and said, "My surname is Gongsun, and my given name is Ji. I now live in this mortal city and opened this woodcarving shop in order to find a path to practice that can truly possess divine consciousness."

——In fact, when the old man Gongsun Ji was halfway through his words, Xie Shen had already understood something from it.

It is not difficult to see from the old man's words that the cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage on this planet seem to have been unable to cultivate spiritual consciousness.

But if you think about it carefully, it’s actually normal.

After all, all the Jindan stage cultivators on Qiuyue Star were born through a similar method of forcing growth.

They simply break through to the God Transformation Stage by constantly accumulating the extraordinary power in their bodies, achieving qualitative change through quantitative change.

This method of breakthrough is obviously a wrong path, so it is naturally impossible for it to be accompanied by spiritual consciousness.

Think of this.

In order to make it easier to distinguish, Xie Shen simply called the cultivators in the God Transformation Stage on Qiuyue Star "pseudo-God Transformation Stage".

In a wood carving shop.

Xie Shen held the tea in his hand, took a sip and said, "So, Fellow Daoist Gongsun wants to hone his own spiritual consciousness by making wood carvings, so as to become a true cultivator in the Spiritual Transformation Stage?"

"Not bad!"

The old man Gongsun Ji nodded and said, "Since you can reveal the key to this, it means that you have probably figured out the way."

He continued, "In order for you and I to be honest with each other and verify each other's experience, I will take the lead and talk about some of the experiences I gained in the process of breaking through the bottleneck."

Xie Shen didn't say anything, just drank tea and listened quietly.

But Gongsun Ji continued: "Based on my research, I think the breakthrough from the Nascent Soul stage to the Spiritualization stage can be roughly divided into two steps."

"Let's talk about the first step first."

"I would like to call the first step to break through the bottleneck of the Spiritualization Stage 'Transformation into Mortal Realization'."

Gongsun Ji explained: "According to my understanding, if a cultivator wants to become a mortal and attain enlightenment, he must first use magic to suppress his own cultivation, turn himself into a mortal, and experience the suffering of birth, aging, illness and death of a mortal again."

"During this process, the monks can choose one thing they like to do and comprehend their own path from it."

"This is what is called enlightenment."

Gongsun Ji gave an example: "Let me take myself as an example."

"In order to attain enlightenment, I have been carving wood carvings in this wood carving shop for nearly a hundred years."

"So each of these wood carvings in my shop contains my spiritual power."

Good guy.

When Xie Shen heard Gongsun Ji say this, he suddenly had a strange expression on his face.

He looked at Gongsun Ji in silence and said, "Daoyou, what you said about becoming a mortal and realizing the Dao is not the first step in the method of transforming spirits into mortals and breaking through?"

"You are really good at understanding."

"I actually figured out the first step of the transformation from a spirit to a mortal just by my random thinking."

The breakthrough method of transforming from a god into a mortal?
Seeing that Xie Shen seemed to understand this breakthrough method very well, Gongsun Ji was stunned for a moment.

Then he showed a look of joy, and bowed respectfully to Xie Shen, saying: "Since fellow Taoist knows the way here, please teach me and clear up my confusion. I, Gongsun Ji, will be very grateful!"

"Easy to say!"

Meeting is fate.

Seeing that Gongsun Ji was a pretty good person, and that Xie Shen had the Heavenly Demon Flower to protect, he really needed help.

So he said directly to Gongsun Ji: "I will teach you the method of breakthrough this time, but I have only one request."

"If you can successfully break through to the Spiritual Transformation Stage within three months, then you will need to come to the Tianqing Sect to help me."

"This should be okay, right?"

"Of course it's no problem." Gongsun Ji said without hesitation: "The grace of teaching is like a rebirth. I have received such a great favor from you, but I only need to go to Tianqing Sect to help you. If I still refuse, it would be somewhat inhumane."

"Well."

Seeing that Gongsun Ji agreed, Xie Shen sat down with him and discussed the Dao directly.

He began to lecture: "The second step of transforming from a divine being to a mortal being is called 'setting one's mind'.

After a lot of discussion, he explained to Gongsun Ji what it meant to set goals.

Xie Shen couldn't help but ask the other party: "Actually, I've always been curious. Isn't it said that for a cultivator to practice, it's like sailing with the current?"

"Even if you do nothing, your cultivation will grow on its own over time."

"But fellow Daoist has been able to live in the lower realm for nearly a hundred years with his Nascent Soul cultivation."

"So, what method did you use to suppress your own cultivation?"
