Primordial Era: If I remain in Longevity Mountain, I will steadily attain sainthood.

Chapter 5 Spiritual Treasure Levels, Nine Revolutions Profound Technique

In the primordial world, there are five main grades of innate spiritual treasures, from low to high: low-grade innate spiritual treasure, middle-grade innate spiritual treasure, high-grade innate spiritual treasure, top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and supreme innate treasure.

Furthermore, since innate spiritual treasures possess their own spirituality, they automatically generate numerous restrictions to prevent others from refining and controlling them.

Even companion spirit treasures are no exception; they are subject to numerous restrictions to test their owners.

If you can't have complete control, you can't unleash its full power.

The most famous of all is undoubtedly Taiyi's Chaos Bell. It is one of the three innate treasures of creation.

Taiyi, however, never managed to completely refine the Chaos Bell until his death.

Generally speaking, the restrictions generated by low-grade innate spiritual treasures range from one to twelve.

Mid-grade innate spiritual treasures have thirteen to twenty-four restrictions. High-grade innate spiritual treasures have twenty-five to thirty-six restrictions.

Top-grade innate spiritual treasures have thirty-seven to forty-eight restrictions.

As for the innate treasures, they are subject to a fixed set of forty-nine restrictions.

In addition, because different magical treasures have different functions, their power also varies. Some magical treasures are good at attacking, while others are good at defending... Therefore, generalizations cannot be made.

In general, however, the vast majority of them follow the hierarchy of the more restrictions a character has, the more powerful they become.

For example, Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Book is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure with forty-eight restrictions.

It's only one step away from becoming a supreme innate treasure.

For example, the Fire Cloud Shuttle that Hongyun obtained earlier was somewhat inferior. Among high-grade innate spiritual treasures, it was only in the middle range, with a total of thirty-one restrictions.

Finally, there's the Treasure Gathering Plate and the Treasure Dropping Coin that Hongyun just collected; both of these are top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

However, the Treasure Gathering Plate has a total of forty-three restrictions, while the Treasure Dropping Coin only has thirty-seven restrictions.

If it loses just one more step, it will be downgraded to a high-grade innate spiritual treasure.

Both are not only top-grade innate spiritual treasures, but also a complete set of magical artifacts.

The Treasure Gathering Plate and the Treasure Dropping Coin can be used to collect any spiritual treasure below the level of a Primordial Treasure.

Note that it is "collected".

Not just falling.

For example, during the Investiture of the Gods, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao, two rogue cultivators, only obtained the Treasure-Dropping Coin. Therefore, they could only drop other people's magic treasures, but could not directly retrieve them.

However, with the Treasure Gathering Plate, any magical item that falls from the Treasure Falling Coins can be collected into the Treasure Gathering Plate along with the Treasure Falling Coins.

Then, it blocks any connection with the original owner's mark and takes it for itself.

However, this set of magical treasures also has drawbacks. First, each use consumes one's own luck, and if one's luck is insufficient, one will suffer a backlash.

For example, Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao lost Zhao Gongming's Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and Dragon-Binding Rope, but then they were struck by bad luck and died tragically.

Secondly, this set of magical artifacts can only drop treasures, not weapons. If the opponent does not activate the treasures, they cannot be dropped.

Overall, however, the Treasure Gathering Plate and the Treasure Dropping Coins are already very powerful.

Especially with the Treasure Gathering Plate, which can gather scattered luck in daily life, the burden of using the Treasure Dropping Coins can be reduced.

Having obtained the Treasure-Gathering Plate and the Treasure-Dropping Coin, Hongyun realized that the mountain he was in was Wuyi Mountain.

I never expected to have such good fortune.

It's truly a series of joyous events! Moreover, besides the Treasure Gathering Plate and the Treasure Falling Coins, Hongyun won't forget that there's also the Enlightenment Tea Tree in these mountains.

We'll definitely find it soon, and then we can enjoy tea and contemplate the Dao with Zhen Yuanzi.

In terms of sophistication, it's much better than eating ginseng fruits that look like babies, like some kind of demonic cultivator.

That's truly ethereal!

After a careful examination, it was found that although the treasure plate was somewhat spiritually potent, it had not yet developed a clear intelligence.

This can no longer be considered a living being.

Hongyun then began refining the Treasure Gathering Plate with a clear conscience. After several hundred years, Hongyun refined twenty of the Treasure Gathering Plate's restrictions, thus completing the initial refinement of this spiritual treasure.

As for the Treasure-Dropping Coin, Hongyun did not refine it for the time being, since there was still the Enlightenment Tea Tree waiting for him to collect.

After searching for a long time in Wuyi Mountain, Hongyun finally found the Wudao Tea Tree.

The Enlightenment Tea Tree, as its name suggests, has the effect of aiding in enlightenment. Although it is only a high-grade innate spiritual root, it is much stronger than the Fire Jujube Tree.

It is evident that even among those of superior innate spiritual roots, there are different grades.

Hongyun summoned the Treasure Gathering Plate, which emitted a beam of light that enveloped the Enlightenment Tea Tree. Soon, the Enlightenment Tea Tree was collected into the Treasure Gathering Plate.

All that remained was a large, deep pit.

After acquiring the Enlightenment Tea Tree, Hongyun left Wuyi Mountain and continued his journey towards Buzhou Mountain.

They flew away.

This time, however, there were no unexpected surprises. Hongyun successfully reached Buzhou Mountain and stood at its foot, gazing up at this first divine mountain of the primordial world.

It is truly majestic and boundless, towering to the sky and standing tall on the earth, incredibly magnificent.

At this time, Mount Buzhou still exerted a powerful pressure, so much so that even a Great Luo Golden Immortal could not reach the top of the mountain.

Hongyun had no intention of making trouble for herself by foolishly using Buzhou Mountain to temper her body.

It should be understood that although his Four Symbols Origin was complete, which made his body much stronger, in this primordial world, the cultivation of the primordial spirit was the mainstream, and Hongyun was one of them. To abandon the fundamental and pursue the superficial to cultivate the physical body would be a complete waste of time.

This doesn't mean you can't take care of both your physical body and your spirit, but rather that it would be a losing proposition.

After all, cultivating either the physical body or the primordial spirit alone is already incredibly difficult. If one were to cultivate both simultaneously, it would probably take countless eons before there is any possibility of attaining enlightenment.

However, there are also methods in the prehistoric world that cultivate both the physical body and the primordial spirit. These are the protective divine skills of the Xuanmen sect, called the Nine Revolutions Profound Skill.

That's right, the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is not a traditional technique passed down by the Wu Clan. In fact, even the Great God Pangu could not pass down such a technique that can only be cultivated to the level of attaining the Primordial Chaos Realm.

This Nine Revolutions Profound Technique was developed jointly by all the sages after they attained sainthood. Because each of the sages established a great sect, the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique had different names in each sect.

In the Chan sect, it is called the Nine Revolutions Primordial Power, while in Western religions or later Buddhism, it is called the Eight-Nine Mysterious Power.

They are actually all the same technique.

The Nine Revolutions Profound Technique is a method that cultivates both the physical body and the primordial spirit simultaneously, enabling the physical body and the primordial spirit to be closely integrated and inseparable.

Let's improve together.

However, despite this intention, it ironically led to a combination of difficulties in cultivating both the physical body and the primordial spirit.

The resources required for breaking through the Nine Revolutions Profound Technique are especially terrifying.

It takes one eon of innate spiritual energy to cultivate from the first to the second stage of the Golden Body.

In other words, if you are only absorbing innate spiritual energy, you would have to honestly inhale and exhale for a full eon to achieve that.

It's easy to imagine how time-consuming this is. And this is only the first to the second stage. If one were to cultivate from the second stage to the third stage, it would take ten times that amount of time, requiring ten eons of magical power.
