So what if I have a few billion concubines while I'm cultivating immortality?

Qin Xiao did not immediately set off for Tianzhu Mountain.

He understood better than anyone that strength was the foundation of everything.

The fixed-space plate and the reversal array flag are merely tools. If one's own strength is insufficient, even if one successfully sets up the "Reverse Yuan Anti-Spirit Array," one may still be reduced to ashes under the violent impact of the array's activation and the reversal of spiritual energy, or in the unknown variables that may be introduced.

Now, all six women in the harem have reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, while Fairy Yaoguang has reached the late-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Having honed his skills at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage for many years, his understanding of the Five Elements and space had already reached the pinnacle of this realm, leaving him with no room for further advancement.

The next step is to become a deity.

During the Nascent Soul stage, the nascent soul transforms into the primordial spirit, initially breaking free from the shackles of the physical body, allowing the spirit to roam the vast void and comprehend the laws of heaven and earth.

Their lifespan will increase dramatically to three thousand years, and their supernatural powers will undergo a qualitative leap.

However, transforming into a deity is no easy task.

This is not merely the accumulation of spiritual energy, but a profound understanding of the "Tao" and a complete transformation of one's own soul. It requires suitable cultivation methods and sufficient resources.

It requires even greater opportunities and a steadfast commitment to the Dao.

The training method is the first hurdle to overcome.

Qin Xiao no longer has a shortage of cultivation techniques; the number of cultivation manuals he has mastered is now enormous.

The Xuanji Pavilion, a legacy of the Tianluo Sect, contains all kinds of cultivation methods, from Qi Refining to Nascent Soul stage.

There are even fragments of superior cultivation techniques that can lead directly to the Nascent Soul and Void Refinement stages.

However, the higher the level of the cultivation method, the more demanding the requirements are on the cultivator, and the more important it is to match the cultivator's own foundation, spiritual root attributes, and Daoist philosophy.

Choosing the wrong path can lead to anything from wasting effort for little reward to damaging the foundation and cutting off all future prospects.

To this end, Qin Xiao specially opened a "Scripture Repository Room" deep inside the Zichen Palace, where he stored the selected cultivation manuals and jade slips containing the insights of his predecessors that might be helpful for the Nascent Soul stage.

Thus began a long and meticulous journey of "seeking the Way".

He first ruled out those cultivation methods that were too singular in nature or that contradicted the principles of the Five Elements.

His foundation lies in the Pure Yang Five Elements Body; any cultivation method that deviates from this path will lead to spiritual energy conflicts, resulting in more harm than good.

The cultivation techniques left behind by the Tianluo Sect are profound.

However, most of them have obvious magical characteristics.

The Xuanji Pavilion's techniques lean towards the Star Array Dao, which is moderate and peaceful.

But it's mostly used as a supplementary tool.

The Five Elements cultivation method that Qin Xiao needs does not exist in existing classic texts.

But he was not discouraged. He sat cross-legged in the quiet room, surrounded by dozens of jade slips that recorded the essence of different cultivation techniques. His divine sense, like threads, was immersed in them, absorbing the insights of his predecessors.

The True Explanation of the Five Elements' Reincarnation elucidates the wonders of the generation and restraint of the five elements, but stops at the Nascent Soul stage, leaving the subsequent path unclear.

The Record of the Void's Evolution of the Dao is a profound study of spatial changes, and its mysteries are beyond compare.

However, it has almost no requirements for the foundation of the five elements' spiritual power, making it more like a pure spatial supernatural power manual.

The "Primordial Qi Formula" pursues the return of all things to their origin, and its purpose is extremely lofty.

However, the technique itself is severely incomplete, with key parts unclear, making forced practice extremely risky.

"The Zhou Tian Xing Chen Jue" is one of the core techniques of the Xuanji Pavilion. It tells the story of using one's own body to correspond with the stars in the heavens and draw upon the power of the stars to temper the body and refine the spirit.

This does resonate with his understanding of the Star Array Dao and can be used as a reference.

The "Heavenly Emperor's Scripture on Governing the World" offers a unique perspective on cultivating one's own divinity through the flow of Qi.

As time passed, Qin Xiao immersed himself in the vast ocean of cultivation techniques, sometimes frowning in deep thought, sometimes suddenly gaining insights, and sometimes shaking his head in denial.

He did not intend to copy any particular technique.

Instead, it is necessary to draw on the strengths of various schools of thought and combine them with one's own unique pure Yang Five Elements body and spatial talent.

And his unique experiences of ruling the Great Yong Dynasty and cultivating with his fellow Daoist partners over the years have led him to forge his own path to becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Fairy Yaoguang would occasionally come over to discuss the Star Array Dao and the Nascent Soul Transformation Pass with him.

Luo Qingluan and others would also share the difficulties they encountered in their cultivation with him.

Each exchange of ideas made Qin Xiao's thoughts clearer.

On this day, Qin Xiao was engrossed in reading the incomplete version of the "Primordial Chaos Technique".

The philosophy behind this practice subtly aligns with his idea of ​​returning the five elements to their origin and pursuing a higher level of unity.

However, the key principles and methods of circulating qi are missing, making it like a tree without roots.

Suddenly, the description of the five elements giving rise to all things in the "True Explanation of the Five Elements Reincarnation" flashed through my mind.

The discussion in "The Record of the Evolution of the Void" that space is the foundation upon which all things are contained.

The "Zhou Tian Xing Chen Jue" describes the concept of stars moving and driving the flow of the Great Dao.

Even the methods in the "Scripture of the Heavenly Emperor's Rule over the World" for uniting the will of all people and cultivating one's own divinity...

A vague idea, like a shooting star streaking across the darkness, suddenly ignited.

"The Five Elements are the foundation, evolving into Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water, and constructing the material world."

Space is an extension, carrying all things and connecting the real and the virtual.

"The Star Array is a tool, a bridge to access higher levels of power."

"The imperial aura and the aspirations of all living beings are the unique 'power' bestowed upon me by this world."

"And at the heart of all this lies within myself."

"My will is the guiding light."

"My soul is the furnace."

"The path I choose is one that integrates all insights, governs all laws with my own will, and ultimately leads to 'refining emptiness and uniting with the Dao'!"

"Transforming into a spirit is not merely about the nascent soul transforming into a spirit; it's about fusing all my accumulated knowledge, insights, and paths over the years into a single furnace, forging my own 'unique spirit'!"

In the instant of clear thinking, an invisible Taoist rhythm seemed to flow within the quiet room.

Qin Xiao felt his mind and soul were clearer than ever before, and his understanding of his own path reached a whole new level.

Instead of perusing the jade slips, he closed his eyes and focused his mind, using his own will as a guide, the five elements of spiritual power as a foundation, and spatial perception as a pulse, to begin sketching and deducing the unique Nascent Soul cultivation technique in his heart.

This process is like carving a ladder to heaven on a cliff where there is no way out.

Each step requires repeated verification and adjustment.

A slight misstep could undo all the previous efforts.

Sun rises and sets, cold comes and heat goes.

Qin Xiao sat in the meditation room where the scriptures were stored for three years.

For the past three years, he has hardly moved, his entire mind and spirit immersed in the deduction of the cultivation method and the adjustment of himself.

Its aura was sometimes as calm as an abyss, sometimes as sharp as a sword, sometimes as ethereal as the wind, and sometimes as heavy as a mountain...

Various strange phenomena swirled around him, but ultimately all returned to harmony.

Outside the quiet room, the women were worried.

But she also knew that this was a crucial moment for her husband's divination, so she could only silently protect him, intensify her own cultivation, and not hold him back.

Fairy Yaoguang had the most acute senses; she could feel the vast and unique Daoist aura that was being nurtured in the quiet room.

It far surpassed any cultivation technique she knew, filling her with both shock and anticipation.

Finally, on an autumn evening in the third year...

The tightly closed door of the scripture-storing meditation room slowly opened.

Qin Xiao walked out slowly.

He looked much the same as he had three years ago, still dressed in dark clothes and with an upright posture.

But upon closer inspection, one will find that the spiritual energy has become more profound, as if there are galaxies flowing and the five elements rotating, with occasional flashes of silver-gray spatial ripples.

"My husband!"

Luo Qingluan, Fairy Yaoguang, and the others who were waiting outside immediately surrounded them, their beautiful eyes filled with concern and inquiry.

Qin Xiao looked at them and smiled slightly, "The cultivation technique is complete."

Congratulations, my husband!

The women all offered their congratulations in unison.

Qin Xiao waved his hand: "The deduction is complete. Next, I'll use the cultivation technique to break through!"
