Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 349 Calculation
Upon hearing A Dong's words, Mu Mu and Yi Yan simultaneously thought of a priceless treasure: the Jade Disc of Creation.

Legend has it that when the Jade Disc of Creation is damaged, it enters an invisible space-time to slowly recover until it reappears in the world after it has recovered.

Seeing A-Dong's somewhat anxious expression, Yi Yan shook her head.

"Don't worry, treasures aren't so easily damaged."

Moreover, we cultivators today, especially those of us with spiritual supernatural powers, are already quite powerful without relying on external objects. What are supreme treasures compared to that? Our spiritual supernatural powers are our foundation. As we gradually develop our powers, we will eventually be able to do things that even supreme treasures cannot do.

After hearing Yi Yan's words, A Dong was speechless. His own supernatural power, "World of Ice," might be very powerful in terms of killing, but in terms of finding opportunities and plundering resources, it was not even a fraction as good as Qian Qiu Zhi Yu.

If the Feather of a Thousand Autumns were still around, his dream clones could be deployed everywhere to plunder resources.

In the dream world of the future, she, Yi Yan, and Yi Qing divided the work. Yi Yan was responsible for finding the world, and then she used her dream clone to find out the general situation of that world. Finally, Yi Qing's insectoid army went to quickly eliminate the resistance forces of that world.

Without the Feather of a Thousand Autumns, I won't be of much use when Yi Yan and Yi Qing plunder everywhere in the future, and it's hard to say whether they will still take me with them.

The Feather of a Thousand Autumns can be considered the foundation of his cultivation.

With the Feather of a Thousand Autumns, even without relying on Yi Yan and Yi Qing, A Dong is confident that he can find enough resources for his own cultivation.

Without the Feather of a Thousand Autumns, she can no longer use her dream clone to travel to the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm to acquire the knowledge of her current cultivation. Moreover, if she wants to obtain knowledge and resources from the Yi family in the future, she will have to pay a great price in exchange.

This precious feather must not be lost; it must be repaired as soon as possible.

Just then, Yang Xiaoli arrived.

"Adong, did you succeed?"

When Adong saw Yang Xiaoli, she put away the illusory image of the Thousand Autumn Feathers and nodded in a friendly manner. During this time, she and Yang Xiaoli had become relatively friendly friends.

Yang Xiaoli smiled happily:
“That’s great, Adong. You have the body of an ice dragon and the ability to live forever.”

Why not follow my example, cultivate Qi for ten thousand years, forge an unparalleled foundation, and strive to achieve the Great Dao Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop?

Yi Yan and Mu Mu were both slightly taken aback when they heard Yang Xiaoli's words.

They hadn't thought of that.

In Gong Xi's knowledge, only spiritual entities related to the Great Dao of Immortality can cultivate Qi for ten thousand years.

At this moment, Yi Yan's heart stirred.
"The path to immortality is mostly possessed by cultivators with wood and water attribute spiritual bodies, but in the Immortal Kingdom, earth attribute cultivators are the strongest."

Thinking about it this way, an earth-attribute spirit body must also have a way to lay an unparalleled foundation comparable to ten thousand years of Qi cultivation.

It seems that the supreme foundation is inseparable from turning the spiritual vein into one's natal object.

The mother is unaware of this news.

If she found out, she would definitely refine the fragments of the Ancient Immortal Realm into her natal artifact immediately, and then I would have no chance of obtaining a seventh-order spiritual vein.

It seems that getting Mother to retrieve the fragment of the Ancient Immortal Realm can no longer be delayed; otherwise, she will eventually think about it.

Thinking it over, Yi Yan disregarded whether A Dong wanted to spend ten thousand years refining Qi or quickly advance to the Great Dao Golden Core stage, and said to Mu Mu:
"I have something to do at Zijin Mountain."

After saying that, he disappeared into the pillar of starlight without waiting for Mu Mu to say anything.

Mu Mu watched Yi Yan disappear quickly via teleportation, somewhat puzzled.

"She didn't even bring the bluebird. What's she doing in such a hurry to go to Purple Mountain?"

The thought flashed through Mu Mu's mind, but she ignored it and looked at the thoughtful A Dong, advising him:

"Although your Ice Dragon Body is not yet an adult, its strength is still quite good. In the Vast Sea Spirit Realm, if you encounter a true dragon, you will have a certain ability to protect yourself."

So, your physical strength isn't the most important factor.

With your ice dragon body cultivating the "Nine Transformations of the Ice Dragon," you will have combat power that rivals that of the Dragon King after reaching adulthood.

However, the hope of becoming a true Dragon King is extremely slim; otherwise, the old ice dragon wouldn't have failed to become a Dragon King for so many years.

Our current cultivation of the Great Dao leads to the Great Dao Nascent Soul stage, enabling us to face even true spirits like the Dragon King alone.

If you truly become a Nascent Soul cultivator who has attained the Great Dao, your human form might even surpass your ice dragon form in strength.

Adong's eyes flickered.

She achieved her vision of the future within the Qingzhou Taoist Temple.

At that time, Qingzhu Daoyuan already had cultivators with the three attributes of ice, wind, and thunder.

Similarly, the number of students in the Taoist academy was also incomparable to what it is today.

There are also many secrets about the immortal kingdom in the Taoist temple.

In the illusion, the immortal kingdom had already entered a period of large-scale conquest of all realms.

In the war across countless realms, each and every Immortal Emperor has earned unparalleled fame.

Those Immortal Emperors were all unparalleled in their combat power, overshadowing even the Immortal Kings and True Spirit Kings of the Immortal Realm.

As far as A Dong knew, those Immortal Emperors were all Nascent Soul cultivators who had mastered the Great Dao.

Moreover, unlike ordinary cultivators who reach the Great Dao Nascent Soul stage, Immortal Emperors all forge a so-called "Immortal Foundation," which is different from the "Dao Foundation" of most cultivators today.

The "Ten Thousand Years of Qi Refining" for a long-lived spiritual body is also a process for forging an immortal foundation. It is the one that consumes the least amount of energy and is not difficult except for its long duration. "Currently, within the Immortal Kingdom, most cultivators only know about the so-called foundation building of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man, or the foundation building of the Great Dao. As for the foundation building of the Immortal Dao, before the Immortal Kingdom truly conquered all realms, it was basically only accomplished by successive Immortal Emperors, and it was never even mentioned."

It seems that Mu Mu and the others were also unaware that ten thousand years of Qi refining was the process of forging an immortal foundation; otherwise, she wouldn't have said anything about forging an unparalleled foundation.

Previously, in the illusion, my consciousness was clouded, and even though I knew a little about the Immortal Foundation, I didn't pay attention.

Firstly, even the higher-level Dao Academy doesn't have the specific process for forging an immortal foundation. Secondly, because I in the dream wasn't an immortal spirit, I couldn't do the simplest and most well-known method of refining Qi for ten thousand years to forge an immortal foundation.

Now, after Yang Xiaoli's explanation, I realized that although I am not an immortal spirit, I possess unlimited lifespan, making me no different from an immortal spirit. Ten thousand years of Qi cultivation is no problem for me at all.

After glancing at Yang Xiaoli and Mu Mu, A Dong said:

"Yes, I also think that there's no need to rush the cultivation of the human body."

At this point, Adong suddenly said to Mumu:

"By the way, in the illusion of the future, I heard that the Great Emperor of Genshan in the Immortal Kingdom, when he was in the Qi Refining stage, used supreme immortal techniques to refine a seventh-order spiritual vein into his natal object and forge the foundation of immortality."

Although you have already reached the Foundation Establishment stage of the Great Dao, refining a seventh-order spiritual vein as your natal artifact may allow you to further enhance your foundation.

A Dong subconsciously concealed the news about the "Immortal Foundation" to prevent Mu Mu and the others from having to repeatedly use the Feather of a Thousand Autumns to acquire knowledge from the future for the sake of the so-called Immortal Foundation.

Yi Yan probably never imagined that as soon as she left, her apprentice would tell Mu Mu what she had been thinking.

Adong was simply thanking Mumu for helping him construct the supernatural runes, which is why he said a few extra words.

Without Mu Mu's Starlight Vortex, Qianqiu Zhiyu would not have been able to project his dream clone into the Heavenly Capital Spirit Realm.

Mu Mu's expression changed.
"Are you telling the truth?"

After seeing A-Dong nod, Mu-Mu said to A-Dong and Yang Xiao-Li:

"You two, don't tell anyone else about this, not even Yi Yan."

After speaking, Mu Mu looked at A Dong. Yang Xiaoli was her apprentice, so Mu Mu wasn't worried that she wouldn't listen to her.

But A Dong is Yi Yan's apprentice, and Mu Mu isn't sure if he'll listen to her.

A-Dong didn't think that much about it; she had figured it out in the past few days.

Despite the presence of many humans on the Frozen Continent, in reality, it is only Yi Dong, Mu Mu, Dongfang Hong, and Yi Yan who call the shots.

Yi Dong, who holds the most power, basically doesn't care about the affairs between Mu Mu, Dongfang Hong, and Yi Yan, and seems to live a secluded life.

Even Yi Dong didn't care anymore, so even if Mu Mu and Yi Yan had some schemes, A Dong wasn't interested in knowing, so he nodded to Mu Mu.

It's likely that Yi Yan also has designs on the fragments of the ancient immortal realm that Mu Mu possesses.

At this moment, Mu Mu also learned what Yi Yan wanted to do by rushing to Zijin Mountain.

"It would be extremely difficult for me to transform the ancient immortal realm's spiritual veins into seventh-order spiritual veins on my own, but with the help of Yi Yan and Tai Chu Zi Xing, it should be much simpler."

"I can release the fragments of the Ancient Immortal Realm, and I can also take them back. Therefore, refining the fragments of the Ancient Immortal Realm into my natal artifact should be put on the agenda. Once it has been refined to a certain extent, I will release the fragments of the Ancient Immortal Realm again."

Compared to forging an unparalleled foundation, making Yi Yan angry for a while is not a problem at all.

While Yi Yan and Mu Mu each had their own plans.

On the other side, a long sword wreathed in golden lightning floated in front of Dongfang Hong.

The golden lightning was incredibly violent, and seemed somewhat out of control.

This is the natal flying sword that Dongfang Hong forged using Purple Extreme Thunder Crystal as the main material.

"The metal and lightning attribute magic powers have never been able to maintain an balance. I hope that after absorbing the Heaven and Earth Mystic Ice, the three magic powers can establish a new balance."

Now that A Dong has become Jin Xiu, he will use his Ice Dragon form to suppress the Nine Heavens Ice Peak.

"Then the Xuanyuan Sword will leave the Nine Heavens Ice Peak, and Mumu will be able to cut off one of its peaks and refine it into my natal sword."

Thinking of this, Dongfang Hong smiled.

Originally, Mu Mu had already agreed to this.

However, the power of the Xuanyuan Sword was extremely mysterious, and Mu Mu could not possibly conceal from the Xuanyuan Sword the fact that it could help her cut off one of the Nine Heavens Ice Peaks.

The sword spirits of the Thirteen True Spirit Longswords, apart from obeying Yi Dong's orders, show no respect to anyone else, not even Dongfang Hong and Mu Mu.

Yi Dong wanted to use the Nine Heavens Ice Peak to create an ice-attribute warship comparable to the Five Elements National Guardian Warship, so he naturally wouldn't easily give her the Nine Heavens Ice Peak. Asking Yi Dong was pointless.

However, both Dongfanghong and Mumu knew about Yi Dong's personality.

If the die is cast, Yi Dong won't be too bothered by it.

Of course, this is also because Yi Dong does not yet possess the technology for the national warship, so he does not value Jiutian Bingfeng too much. If he discovers how to manufacture the national warship in the future, Yi Dong will likely pay more attention to Jiutian Bingfeng.

"Once I obtain one of the Nine Heavens Ice Peaks, I can transform the Golden Core City into a three-legged city complex. At that time, my magical power should be able to reach a certain balance, and advancing to the Great Dao Golden Core stage should be a natural progression."

Just as Dongfanghong was thinking about something, he looked at a magical artifact screen.
"Um?

"Have the sixth-tier Celestial Demons been dispatched? It seems the Ice Dragon Clan is also going to the battlefield."
