Mortal: Even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, I still have to try and get my hands on the Little Gree
Chapter 157 Preparations Before Leaving the Human Realm
Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is not an easy feat even in the Spirit Realm, and it is even more difficult in the Human Realm.
Although Mu Yu now possesses almost all the treasures of the human realm, and even the Heavenly Palm Bottle, a heaven-defying item that can be used to cultivate rare spiritual herbs.
Even so, forcibly creating a Nascent Soul stage cultivator is not an easy task.
Or rather, in the normal way, there is absolutely no way to forcibly create a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
Perhaps there is a way in the spirit world, but in the human world, Mu Yu is currently unable to help Ancestor Linghu truly break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Therefore, when Ancestor Linghu officially began to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, Mu Yu combined the purified soul of Venerable Hanli with the restrictions inscribed on Ancestor Linghu's nascent soul and refined it into a special magic weapon.
Strictly speaking, at this moment, Linghu Laozu should be considered a soul residing within a special spiritual treasure.
However, he does possess a physical body, and both his physical body and nascent soul have reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Therefore, theoretically, Linghu Ancestor at this moment also possesses a lifespan at the Nascent Soul stage.
But Mu Yu wasn't quite sure what the specifics were.
Before long, Linghu Patriarch began to exude the aura unique to Nascent Soul stage cultivators. Moreover, this aura was as inanimate as a dead object, completely beyond Linghu Patriarch's control.
Seeing this, Mu Yu made a hand seal with one hand and launched it out.
Subsequently, Ancestor Linghu regained the aura of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Master, feel your current lifespan. If my deduction is correct, you should be able to have a lifespan of more than two thousand years at the Nascent Soul stage."
Looking at the somewhat bewildered Linghu Patriarch, Mu Yu quickly asked.
There's no other way, I have to ask quickly, otherwise the backlash from Elder Linghu's soul will come.
After the soul backlash ends, Linghu Ancestor will need to go into seclusion for at least several decades to allow his body to readjust to his current level.
"Hisashi... Hisashimoto, oh, I remember now..."
At this moment, Ancestor Linghu was somewhat bewildered. The feeling of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage was too real, so real that it felt like a dream.
But now, this dream is about to end.
No, she didn't wake up; it actually happened!!!
Feeling the immense life force within his body, Linghu Patriarch was momentarily incredulous, his eyes filled with deep emotion as he looked at Mu Yu.
Although I know that my disciple is extraordinary, this is just too outrageous.
"I succeeded... I still have over a thousand years left to live."
Linghu Laozu himself did not become younger after breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage; he remained the same frail and elderly man.
But his overall spirit and energy underwent a tremendous change.
Actually, if Linghu Laozu had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage normally, the wrinkles on his face would probably be less pronounced now.
But none of these things matter.
"Hmm, it's pretty much what I predicted."
"However, Master, since you broke through to the Nascent Soul stage using external force, you must remember not to deplete your own vital energy."
"But I have also left a backup plan. You have three chances to break the seal on your Nascent Soul. Once the seal is broken, you will be able to possess the true power unique to the Nascent Soul stage."
"However, each use will significantly shorten your lifespan, so don't turn it on unless necessary."
"Before I leave, I will leave you some Nascent Soul stage puppets, as well as this late Nascent Soul stage humanoid puppet."
"With these, you should no longer encounter any unsolvable problems in the human world."
"Furthermore, these are three drops of true spirit blood. I have already treated them specially. If any special physique can resonate with these three drops of blood, then bestow them upon me."
"Note that you should not force yourself to take it if it does not meet the requirements. Otherwise, even a Nascent Soul cultivator will be burst by the power of the rules contained in this blood."
Mu Yu spoke, leaving Linghu Patriarch with his last protective trump card and some resources for Huangfeng Valley.
Seeing Mu Yu's appearance, Linghu Patriarch understood what had happened.
This breakthrough did not come without a price. After the Divine Soul Secret Technique expires, he will need decades of seclusion to fully recover.
And it is obvious that Mu Yu will take this opportunity to leave.
"Disciple, I understand!"
"The wisest decision I ever made in my life was to take you as my disciple, and the smartest decision I ever made was to never investigate the secrets behind you."
"I know you are no ordinary person. Presumably... only a special being like you can eventually reach the Spirit Realm and enjoy that endless lifespan."
At this moment, Elder Linghu spoke with some emotion, and his gaze toward Mu Yu was filled with reluctance, but also with a sense of relief.
Mu Yu hesitated for a moment, then explained:
"No, although cultivators in the Spirit Realm do not have to worry about lifespan, they are subject to Heavenly Tribulations."
"Every so often, if one cannot survive the Heavenly Tribulation, one will die on the spot."
"And even after ascending from the spirit realm to the immortal realm, one is not truly immortal; there are still many other limitations."
"Only those who reach the Great Luo realm can be considered to have no lifespan limit."
"But at this level, there are other problems."
"Since we still have some time, Master, if you want to know, I can tell you some things that won't have a big impact."
Once the duration of Linghu Laozu's demonic secret technique expires, he will have to go into seclusion to adapt to the backlash of that technique.
Mu Yu will also leave the human realm during this period.
It can be said that this farewell today is their final goodbye.
Having forcibly propelled Linghu Patriarch to the Nascent Soul stage, Mu Yu believed that this was enough to repay Linghu Patriarch's kindness in protecting him back then.
But before parting, Mu Yu softened his heart for the first time in a long time and decided to tell Linghu Patriarch some of the less important things he was curious about.
Linghu Laozu naturally longed for the spirit world and the immortal world.
Although he has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, he is not qualified to sneak into the Spirit Realm because he broke through with the help of external forces.
Now, all that's left for Ancestor Linghu is to comfortably spend an invincible thousand years in the human realm.
Of course, if Linghu Laozu wanted to take a gamble in the end, it wasn't without a chance.
As long as one can cultivate the ghost path to reach the Nascent Soul stage before their lifespan runs out, then secretly cross over to the spirit world or the demon world, and finally find a way to return to the living world, that's all that matters.
Unfortunately, this plan cannot be realized without great perseverance and good fortune.
At the same time, even if one goes to the spirit world,
It requires at least a Mahayana-level backing to have even a slight chance of successfully reviving.
After speaking with Linghu Laozu, Mu Yu finally gave him a glimmer of hope by telling him about his switch to the Ghost Path.
If Ancestor Linghu could really go to the Spirit Realm on his own, Mu Yu should have already reached the Mahayana stage by then.
Even if he hadn't become a Mahayana cultivator, Han Li should still have been able to reach that level.
Therefore, no matter what choice Linghu Patriarch makes, as long as he can go to the Spirit Realm, he will have a huge backer.
The final method has been given, and as for how Linghu Patriarch chooses to do it, that has nothing to do with Mu Yu.
Watching Linghu Patriarch return to his cave to seclude himself and face the backlash to his soul, Mu Yu looked somewhat melancholy.
But soon, Mu Yu calmed himself down and headed towards another part of Huangfeng Valley.
A teleportation talisman was thrown in, and soon a Nascent Soul stage puppet that looked like a real person came out and opened the protective array of the cave for Mu Yu.
"Your puppet-making skills have become even more exquisite."
"I wonder if there's any progress on the soul-searching secret technique I asked you to study?"
Mu Yu looked at the puppet in front of him and spoke calmly.
The puppets crafted by the Great Evolution Divine Lord at this moment are naturally far more comprehensive than those crafted by Mu Yu.
In fact, these are the real puppets; those that Mu Yu crafted were merely cannon emplacements at best.
"Fellow Daoist Mu is really putting me in a difficult position..."
"In such a short time, I have to recover my cultivation, break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and help you create the Great Evolution Technique."
"Although I can now multiply my consciousness into a thousand forms and do multiple things at once!"
"But I have to keep busy with these important tasks. I haven't had a single day of rest in two hundred years."
The Great Evolution God's voice sounded slightly complaining, but he was actually showing off his achievements to Mu Yu.
The Great Evolution Divine Lord has long since recovered his former strength. His current state is similar to that of the former Cold Li Immortal, both of whom are only a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.
The lifespan of the Great Evolution Divine Lord is probably still over a hundred years. As long as his luck isn't too bad, he will definitely be able to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
"No breakthrough? Looks like your only option is to go with Han Li to try and break through the spatial node."
"However, if you are confident that you can break through to the Nascent Soul stage within ten years, I might be able to take you with me."
For over two hundred years, the Great Evolution Divine Lord had no shortage of any spiritual elixirs or materials, and knew very little about the outside world, so he was not aware of Mu Yu's plan to smuggle himself into the Spirit Realm through the True Spirit Rahu.
After Mu Yu explained in detail, the Great Evolution God Lord pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head with some helplessness.
"No, more than ten years is too little time."
"In my current state, there is a chance of success if I force a breakthrough, but if I fail, I won't have another chance."
"The true spirit Rahu..."
"I never imagined that the ghostly mist near the Boundless Sea would be such a thing."
A hint of anticipation flickered in the eyes of the Great Evolution Divine Lord, but it quickly transformed into a driving force to continue cultivating.
After suffering a loss once, the Great Evolution God Lord finally understood that only one's own cultivation level mattered.
Suppressing his inner desire to explore, the Great Evolution God Lord exchanged several Foundation Establishment stage puppets for a large number of jade slips and threw them to Mu Yu.
"Creating one's own martial arts technique is not that simple."
"Although you only want some of my ideas, with my current cultivation level at the late Nascent Soul stage, any subsequent cultivation methods I create will inevitably be full of flaws."
"I don't want to lose the life of my benefactor because of this."
"Therefore, I recorded the initial ideas behind the creation of the Great Evolution Technique, as well as my experiences and thoughts at that time."
"If you are truly capable of completely transforming the Great Evolution Technique into a unique cultivation method of your own, then the subsequent development path will naturally be much smoother."
"But if there's no other way, I advise you to give up the idea of creating a follow-up technique for the Great Evolution Technique."
The Great Evolution God Lord earnestly advised him, knowing that Mu Yu's talent was very strong, but not understanding just how strong it was.
After Mu Yu stuffed all the jade slips into his storage bag, he said:
"If you're really worried, then hurry up and break through to the Nascent Soul stage, then sneak into the Spirit Realm through the spatial node to help me."
"I will be leaving the human world in about ten years."
"From now on, you are free to do whatever you want, but do not harm my master or Huangfeng Valley."
"Otherwise, even if you were reincarnated, I would still have the ability to find you."
Mu Yu wasn't too worried about other people.
However, if it were the Great Evolution Divine Lord, it would indeed be possible for him to kill Ancestor Linghu.
Although the possibility is slim, Mu Yu still feels compelled to offer a reminder.
"What? What kind of person do you take me for?"
Upon hearing Mu Yu's words, the Great Yan Divine Lord became somewhat displeased.
Upon hearing this, Mu Yu tossed a storage bag to the Great Evolution Divine Lord and said indifferently, "Just a reminder."
"After all, after I leave, apart from those demons, you are the only one in the entire human realm who has the ability to do anything to Huangfeng Valley."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the Great Evolution God, Mu Yu left.
……
In the following time, Mu Yu was organizing his storage bag, throwing away a lot of unnecessary items in Huangfeng Valley, or giving them directly to Han Li.
Not long after Mu Yu returned to Huangfeng Valley, Feng Laoguai, Hu Laomo, and Xiang Zhili arrived.
The three of them gathered together, believing that together they should be no weaker than Mu Yu, so they prepared to use their most treasured possessions to exchange for the qualification to smuggle themselves into the spirit world.
Meanwhile, Mu Yu has been busy sorting out his personal wealth and dealing with matters in the Fallen Demon Valley.
At this moment, there are probably only three Nascent Soul stage cultivators left in the human realm.
There are not many Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the human realm. Among them, there was a couple who were Nascent Soul stage cultivators who were in seclusion somewhere and had no contact with the three of them. They had most likely died after their lifespans were exhausted.
As for Bai Laogui of the Taiyi Sect, he died during his breakthrough process after consuming the Fire Essence Dates, when his magical power was ignited.
Perhaps the Ice Phoenix of the demon race has also broken through to the Nascent Soul stage?
In any case, the Mu Yu clan did not receive any information. They only knew that one of the original demons, a white deer in the transformation stage, had recently passed away. The old demon Che found a violent spatial node and broke into it on his own.
"I remember you found a suitable spatial node in the Five Dragon Sea, didn't you? Why didn't you go and explore that place, instead choosing to trust me?"
