A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu Transmigrates into a Book, the Dao Ancestor of Rein

Chapter 127 Planning, Situation, Hong Fu's Nascent Soul Formation
Even pseudo-spiritual roots can form a core!
"I wonder if Senior Sister Xuan'er and the others have formed their cores yet?"

"And Master..."

After completing the Core Formation, Han Li was in no hurry to leave seclusion.

At this moment, his golden core was unstable, and he needed to spend more time stabilizing it and his realm to avoid turning joy into sorrow.

Throughout history, there have been numerous examples of people who, upon successfully forming the initial golden elixir, became so overjoyed that they forgot themselves, resulting in the golden elixir becoming unstable and suddenly collapsing.

He didn't want to be used as a negative example by future generations.

After stabilizing his golden core, he didn't rush out for a stroll. Instead, he began to peruse the communication talismans that had accumulated over time.

These were all people who were alarmed by the commotion caused by his Core Formation.

Picking up one of the pieces to examine it, some of the information inside made him raise an eyebrow, some made him frown, and some even made him rub his brow.

He kept a few jade slips sent by a few Core Formation level forces, such as Red Moon Island and Wonderful Sound Sect, which he might be able to use in the future.

The rest, such as those who wanted to be his concubines... these women didn't really want to be with him; they were clearly just using their looks to sell themselves, and some were even looking for a better option while still employed, and it just so happened that he was the one who ended up with them.

He crushed the jade slips that were useless to him.

For example, those who want to become his disciples, unfortunately, he has no shortage of apprentices, only a few spots for avatars.

These are things we can consider.

"There's no rush to leave seclusion. I need to cultivate for a while longer, and it would be best to wait until things calm down."

On the sacred mountain, countless cultivators achieve Core Formation every year. At its peak, more than a dozen people achieve Core Formation here in a single year, and there have even been instances of two people achieving Core Formation on the same day.

He had seen these things years ago.

In short, among the Core Formation stage cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea, one more or one less makes no difference.

time flies.

Another two years.

In the past two years, he has worked hard to stabilize his Core Formation stage cultivation and consumed a large number of Core Formation-level pills he had stockpiled, which greatly improved his magical power. Two years of this cultivation is equivalent to six or seven years of hard work for an ordinary Core Formation stage cultivator with dual spiritual roots.

In addition, he also split off a new divine consciousness to control his second external avatar.

That is, Senior Brother Lu's half-finished corpse with the Wind Spirit Root.

This body was once possessed by a cultivator from the Yuling Sect, who restored and modified the physical body with the Golden Core Qi, greatly enhancing its potential.

Now, he calls himself "Feng Hun".

It is ranked alongside Zhang Tie's "Qu Hun" and Sha Dan's clone's "Sha Hun".

First clone, the eunuch clone: ​​Fiend Soul.

Second clone, Senior Brother Lu: Wind Soul.

Zhang Tie's representation of Qu Hun has not yet been considered an external manifestation.

It is worth mentioning that the first divine consciousness that he initially split off from within the body of the Fiend Pill was nurtured and strengthened over the decades, especially through the qualitative transformation that occurred when he used the Blood Condensation Five Elements Pill to condense the Golden Core, resulting in a tremendous enhancement.

Originally, he was just splitting off a wisp of his divine consciousness to control the clone.

Unexpectedly, the divine consciousness that split off could grow to a level far exceeding that of an ordinary pseudo-core cultivator.

Its intensity is between that of the False Core stage and the Core Formation stage.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve the unity of man and god and fully control the immense magical power of a Core Formation cultivator.

And if that's all there is to it, then it's nothing.

The key point is that before forming his core, he tried to withdraw this part of his divine consciousness to strengthen his main body's divine consciousness, thereby increasing the success rate of forming his core.

When the divine consciousnesses share the same origin, it is very difficult for them to separate.

But recycling is not difficult.

He did indeed manage to reclaim half of it to strengthen his main body's divine consciousness.

Even after he reclaimed half of the divine consciousness of his Sha Dan clone, the Sha Dan clone could still move freely and steadily mobilize the mana and true essence of the Core Formation stage.

However, this clone suffered a significant loss of vital energy as a result, and it took two years to recover. Furthermore, the clone's reactions were slightly slower than before. Although still much faster than a pseudo-Core Formation cultivator, it was no longer comparable to a true Core Formation cultivator, making it the weakest Core Formation cultivator.

The main point is: not the best, but better than the worst.

True.

Reclaiming the fragmented spirit within the clone's body further reduced the clone's overall strength.

However, it increased the divine power of the main body.

Moreover, it grows stronger during the foundation-building stage.

For a Core Formation cultivator, this fraction of a spirit is nothing, merely one-seventh or one-eighth of their original power. However, for a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Core Formation stage, the divine sense carried by this fraction of a spirit is an absolute boon. It is at least comparable to the entire divine sense power of a Pseudo-Core Formation cultivator.

Even after he mastered the third level of the Great Evolution Technique, it still boosted his divine sense by nearly one-third.

It was precisely because of the integration of this divine consciousness that his process of forming his core became exceptionally easy.

It was a natural progression.

There are no bottlenecks at all.

The process was so smooth that it might even be smoother than the core formation process for a genius with a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

From this, he came to another conclusion.

The mind and spirit are used to train weak clones, which then nourish the original body after they grow stronger.

This is very much the evil way.

However, it is very effective.

"Speaking of which, the reason why those high-level cultivators, especially those Nascent Soul cultivators in the demonic path, love to consume a lot of resources to cultivate clones, could it be that they are taking a shortcut to improve their divine sense?"

Although the improvement may not be much at once, even a small increase is still an increase.

Moreover, once the quantity increases, it is highly likely that there will be "plenty to eat."

There are only four limitations:
First, there is the secret technique of creating clones that does not threaten the original body.

The second is the number of spirits that the main body can split into.

The three are the resources needed for the clone to quickly improve its cultivation level.

Finally, there is a vast amount of time measured in decades or even centuries.

"The Xuan Gu lineage, what a pity."

If Ji Yin Xuan hadn't murdered his master, he would likely have received extensive training from Xuan Gu in this area.

Perhaps at the Core Formation stage, this method can make one's spiritual sense far stronger than others of the same level?

"And the Six Extremes True Demon Art of the Six Paths Supreme Saint, could it also have a similar method?"

Harvest the clones to strengthen yourself?
He's familiar with this routine.

With this understanding, Han Li became increasingly wary and apprehensive about the Six Paths Supreme Saint and the likes of Extreme Yin.

If this is the way of the demonic path, what about the way of the righteous path?

"The demonic path cultivates its own second and third spirits using other people's bodies. How does the righteous path operate?"

"Does the righteous path's 'One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones' mean cultivating a second and third spirit, or even a second and third nascent soul, using one's own body?"

...

Two years were enough for the Sha Dan clone to recover most of its lost vital energy.

At the same time, it helped the second clone, Feng Hun, improve his cultivation.

He has progressed from the Qi Refining stage to the Foundation Establishment stage.

During this time, he studied the wind-attribute cultivation techniques passed down from the Crimson Forbidden Land many times. The more he learned about them, the more awe he felt for the ancient lord of the forbidden land.

Very strong.

very strong.

He was a formidable figure even in the Nascent Soul stage.

After the second clone, Feng Hun, cultivated the techniques recorded in this inheritance, his secret arts and skills must be among the best of his peers.

If this clone is no longer needed in the future, the spirit within it can be retrieved to strengthen one's own primordial spirit and divine consciousness.

The only pity is that the clone cannot cultivate the Great Evolution Technique.

Otherwise, he would truly be taking off from the spot.

"Next, we will go to the outer sea to search for the top-grade spirit mineral veins of Biling Island."

Although pills made from high-level demon cores can increase his cultivation speed.

However, pills refined from a level six demon core are only considered high-quality pills for someone at the early stage of Core Formation. Their effect on increasing cultivation is not particularly good.

With only high-quality pills for cultivation, he would never have reached the late stage of Core Formation before the Void Heaven Palace opened.

Especially the bottleneck at the peak of the mid-stage Core Formation realm, that's quite a hurdle!

If he were to attempt to enter the Void Heaven Palace with only his mid-stage Core Formation cultivation, it would undoubtedly be fraught with difficulties and extreme danger!

The key point is that without the support of his late-stage Core Formation cultivation, he would not be able to act alone on the third floor of the inner palace of the Void Heaven Palace.

There's no way to break the restrictions and obtain the treasure.

The first level of the inner hall is prepared for those in the early stages of Core Formation. As long as someone in the early stages of Core Formation can demonstrate strength approaching or comparable to that of someone in the middle stages of Core Formation, they can break the restrictions and obtain the treasure.

The second level of the inner sanctum is for those in the mid-stage of Core Formation. Only those with strength approaching the late-stage of Core Formation can break the restrictions on the treasures stored within and retrieve them.

The third floor of the inner hall is where Fairy Ice Soul prepares for those in the late stage of Core Formation.

Furthermore, cultivators need to possess the strength of a pseudo-infant stage cultivator.

The inner hall has four floors and is prepared for Nascent Soul cultivators.

Without the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage, it is difficult to survive and operate on the fourth level, where the ancient puppets are comparable to Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

The inner hall on the fifth floor contains only the Void Heaven Cauldron.

It is also a battlefield where Nascent Soul cultivators compete for power.

After each battle, the Nascent Soul cultivator would return to the fourth level to retrieve the treasure.

Many early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators in Xinghai, who had been stuck at their bottlenecks for years, were able to break through to the middle stage thanks to the treasures found on the fourth level. That level even offered opportunities to break through to the late-stage Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, he needed to accelerate the efficiency of improving his magical power cultivation.

You must reach the late stage of Core Formation within the remaining fifty years or so, only then will you have a chance to take the items from the third floor of the inner palace.

But once you reach the Core Formation stage, how easy is it to improve your cultivation?
Unless one obtains a level seven demon core to refine a rare elixir, thereby increasing cultivation efficiency by two or even three times, it might be possible to catch up in terms of time.

However, he and his Fiend Core clone, with their early-stage Core Formation cultivation, had no problem purchasing level-six demon cores. Not a single problem. For the past few decades, he and his Fiend Core clone had changed their appearances, with the Fiend Core clone wearing a mask and purchasing one or two level-six demon cores and a few level-five ones every two or three years through different auction houses in Tianxing City, as well as some Star Sea Spiritual Herbs for alchemy, without causing the slightest disturbance.

They can even occasionally obtain a level 6 demon core with a special bloodline.

but.

If he were to attempt to obtain a level seven demon core, which is even rarer and more sought-after, with his cultivation level at the early stage of Core Formation, a major problem would arise.

Even the most ordinary level-seven demon core, upon its appearance, would alarm countless late-stage Core Formation experts. This is because late-stage Core Formation cultivators who wish to improve their cultivation and accelerate their progress can only rely on the inner cores of level-seven demon beasts to refine elixirs.

Among them, the special level 7 demon cores and the peak level 7 demon cores would even alarm Nascent Soul stage monsters.

This cake was clearly not something he could have his hands on.

Even though he still had as many as 2.7 million spirit stones on him.

In short, if you can't get involved, you can't get involved.

Touching it will inevitably cause problems.

It will be coveted by those in the mid-to-late stages of Core Formation.

They caught the eye of those guys with even higher cultivation levels.

A level seven demon core is out of the question.

We have to find another way out.

Biling Island is an excellent choice.

There, high-grade spirit stones comparable to level seven demon cores are plentiful, and there is at least one top-grade wood-attribute spirit stone.

Furthermore, the accompanying top-grade spiritual vein of that spiritual mineral vein is also a great aid in cultivation.

Cultivating with a top-grade spiritual vein is comparable to constantly taking drugs.

At that time, his concern will no longer be about the lack of pure spiritual energy from the veins, but rather whether he can absorb it all. It will be about his refining efficiency.

"Fortunately, I have the help of the evil spirit, and I have already realized most of the medicinal power of the Heaven-Mending Pill over the past few decades. After my spiritual root was refined, my efficiency in hard cultivation is very close to that of a dual-spiritual-root cultivator."

This also significantly increased his speed in absorbing and refining spiritual energy and medicinal power.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to complete both the third and fourth transformations simultaneously within forty years while focusing on the third level of the Great Evolution Technique.

"We must not be careless on this voyage to the open sea."

He should borrow the location information of the giant islands in the northern part of the outer star sea, such as Biling Island and Leikong Island, from the Star Palace through the White Water Sword Sect.

Of course.

There is one more thing that needs to be arranged.

"Young Master of Qingyang Sect, the Spirit Binding Array and other array inheritances in that fellow's possession, as well as the Spirit Beast Crying Soul which has not yet been fully nurtured, are all good things."

He still felt a little guilty about killing other cultivators, especially those who had never provoked him or his close associates.

However, if the person he was to kill was the young master of the Qingyang Sect, he would have no psychological qualms whatsoever.

"I heard that guy is a womanizer and is pursuing a young female cultivator from the Myriad Sounds Sect?"

It seems that during a trip to seek out beautiful women, he caught a fleeting glimpse of a veiled girl from the Miaoyin Sect and became hopelessly infatuated with her.

Han Li held a communication jade slip in his hand, his gaze gradually turning dangerous.

The jade slip was recently sent to him by Yanli.

Two years after he successfully formed his core, he sent Yanli out to gather intelligence. During those two years, Yanli had frequent contact with female cultivators from the Miaoyin Sect, and the sect leader, Wang, was eager to recruit her. Especially after learning that Yanli had a core-forming cultivator behind her, he became even more determined to win over his concubine.

However, Yanli met him first and had a better future prospect, so she was not tempted by Master Wang's sweet words.

The Miaoyin Sect is a huge pit; whoever wants to jump in can jump in.

Thus, through a combination of intention and cunning, Yanli managed to find out traces of the young master of the Qingyang Sect by speaking with a female cultivator she was on good terms with at the Miaoyin Sect.

can only say.

Female cultivators only have a few hobbies.

They love to gossip when they get together.

Once you start gossiping, you can't stop.

"Based on this intelligence, the young master of Qingyang Sect may soon travel to the island where Miaoyin Sect is located."

"Will the girl being targeted by them be the future number one beauty in the Chaotic Star Sea... Zi Ling?"

Will it be you?

...

decades ago.

Tiannan.

The forces of good and evil swept across the southern hinterland.

The main force of the Yue Kingdom was contained at the Jingu Plain battlefield by the vanguard of the Six Demonic Sects.

During the stalemate, since the heavens had not yet changed, the mortal realm was still relatively peaceful.

But once the six demonic sects triumph and the "Joyful Union Sect" takes over the Yue Kingdom, the large-scale change of the old and new in the mortal world will naturally lead to endless wars.

As a large mortal city with a population of over three million, Jiayuan City was naturally affected.

The Flood Dragon of the Mo Family will fall apart.

The Mo family was on the verge of decline.

Because of the Tianba Sect under the Ling Shou Mountain, Mo Yuzhu did not die in the war and was married by the young sect leader of the Tianba Sect, and gave birth to a daughter.

After Mo Fengwu and her family members were separated, it became difficult for them to reunite.

Amidst the chaos, Mo Caihuan fled elsewhere with her mother. Sixty years ago, she saw off the fourth madam of the Mo family. More than thirty years ago, she died peacefully in her old age, still clinging to her obsession with spiritual roots, which can be considered a good end.

As for why the Guiling Sect, which was not the original Guiling Sect, occupied the Yue Kingdom, but the Hehuan Sect instead?

There are three main reasons. First, the Ghost Spirit Sect was unaware of the existence of the ancient teleportation array in the mine, and therefore did not subjectively try to win over the Yue Kingdom when dividing the spoils.

Secondly, the former leader of the Yue Kingdom was the Yan Yue Sect, which was a branch that split off from the He Huan Sect thousands of years ago. The He Huan Sect's occupation of the Yue Kingdom was truly an insult to the now-powerful Yan Yue Sect.

Of course, whether they secretly intended to use some of the interests of the Yue Kingdom to attract the Yanyue Sect back to the Hehuan Sect is unknown.
The third is the assistance from Dong Xuan'er and Tian Buque.

Dong Xuan'er secretly went to Yuanwu Kingdom to deliver a message, only to find that Yue Kingdom had been conquered by the Six Demonic Sects. She was alone and learned the news too late. At that time, she had no way to contact the main force of Huangfeng Valley and ultimately could not escape the pursuit of the demonic cultivators.

Han Li had made two preparations regarding Dong Xuan'er's intelligence.

One of their tactics was to provoke Tian Buque before letting him go.

When has Tian Buque ever been humiliated like this?
He immediately harbored a grudge against Han Li.

Furthermore, Dong Xuan'er was indeed born with a seductive nature and had a great connection with the Old Demon Yunlu. Before the army conducted a thorough search, a bounty was placed on Dong Xuan'er's head within the ranks. Later, Dong Xuan'er was captured alive, and the Old Demon Yunlu activated her special physique. Because she knew some of her background beforehand, she did not resist Yunlu.

Dong Xuan'er and Tian Buque exerted their combined efforts, which was roughly equivalent to half of Yunlu Old Demon and the Tian family working together.

As long as the Old Demon of Hehuan doesn't object, then no one else will.

The Old Demon of Hehuan was extremely interested in the Crimson Forbidden Land and had explored it more than once. However, each time he was forced back by the tower in the central area of ​​the forbidden land, and on one occasion he was nearly seriously injured.

Due to various factors, the Hehuan Sect occupied the Yue Kingdom, while the Yuling Sect occupied the Yuanwu Kingdom, which had more dangerous terrain and more monster resources...

Dong Xuan'er got lost, and Hong Fu Fairy, who was preparing to evacuate with the main force, immediately abandoned Huangfeng Valley.

She gave up on the Dong family, which always caused her distress.

She knew all too well that the Dong family had once again stolen another level-four puppet tiger from their disciple. If Dong Xuan'er hadn't caused trouble, the Dong family elders probably would have stolen even more. At the time, she had chosen to go into seclusion due to the pure spiritual energy emanating from the Spirit Eye Spring, and hadn't paid attention to what was happening outside, nor did she know the details of the matter, so she didn't interfere.

When he later learned the whole story and saw the letter left by his junior disciple, he was furious.

They assumed that the young disciple's departure stemmed from his disappointment with the sect and the Dong family.

Even though his youngest apprentice left, he had done everything he could to be kind and righteous.

Therefore, she became even more furious.

She understood that the elders of the Dong family wanted to preserve more resources for the direct descendants of the Dong family. Even at the cost of their own lives, they were willing to sacrifice a puppet tiger so that the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the family would have a sense of self-protection on the Foundation Establishment battlefield.

But I can't accept it emotionally.

Breaking away from the Dong family is the greatest concession one can make.

finally.

Following the information provided by her youngest disciple, Fairy Hongfu headed north to Yunmeng Mountain. With her strong-willed nature, she vowed to break through her cultivation level, condense her Nascent Soul, rescue her grandniece, and find her disciple.

Better to be a broken piece of jade than a whole piece of tile.

He then transformed himself into a newcomer and joined the Luoyun Sect, which was also declining.

They parted ways with Yellow Maple Valley.

The Luo Yun Sect members naturally welcomed this newly appeared late-stage Core Formation cultivator with a clean background.

These three were worried at the time because their sect was facing a potential crisis of not having enough young talent.

The arrival of Hong Fu was truly like a pillow delivered just when you're about to fall asleep.

More than seventy years have passed.

The location of the Spirit Eye Tree in Yunmeng Mountain.

Lightning and thunder roared for hundreds of miles around.

Such a commotion naturally attracted the attention of many cultivators from the three sects of Yunmeng.

Thousands of miles away, there is a mountain lake.

A bamboo raft floats on the water.

On the bamboo raft, a boy suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the location where the three sects had hidden the Spirit Eye Tree with surprise and uncertainty:

"That's... a sign of Nascent Soul formation?"
