My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

Chapter 208 Immortal Seed

After bursting into laughter, Tai Xuan Divine Lord waved his hand and took out a jade slip of inheritance from the Great Dao Palace.

This jade slip is entirely black, with dark gold patterns flowing across its surface, exuding a profound and mysterious aura.

"This is the Shattered Ring Fusion Dao Technique."

"To exchange for this secret technique, you need 40,000 Immortal Dao Points. The Liquid Pill Technique you provided will be rewarded with 56,000 points according to the calculation standards of the Great Dao Palace."

"Enough to exchange for the Fragmented Ring Fusion Dao Technique —"

Tai Xuan Dao Jun stopped speaking at this point.

"My Lord, what's the problem?"

Gu Qing asked.

Tai Xuan Divine Lord looked at Gu Qing, then suddenly changed the subject: "Young friend Gu, you participated in the Bloodline Competition twenty years ago. You should be participating in the Ascension Competition held by the top ten universities, right?"

Gu Qing was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Why would Lord Taixuan suddenly bring this up?

However, Gu Qing did have such plans. His cousin Zhang Yubai and his old squad leader Wang Jian had both said that if he wanted to become one of the strongest immortals, he had to participate in the Ascension Tournament.

The Ascension Tournament features a unique cultivation resource and immortal techniques that are key to the powerful beings of the immortal kingdoms traversing the void.

"God Lord".

"I do have this idea, but before considering the Ascension Tournament, I need to extricate myself from the mercenary war and gain my freedom."

Gu Qing thought for a moment and then told the Tai Xuan Divine Lord about the plan.

Tai Xuan Divine Lord revealed an expression of certainty, then smiled and said, "Young friend Gu, how much do you know about the Ascension Competition?"

"I don't know much about this."

"All I know is that the threshold for participating in the Ascension Tournament is a Golden Core Realm cultivation level."

The Ascension Tournament is hosted by the top ten universities in the Immortal Kingdom, and Gu Qing doesn't have the energy to inquire about it yet.

"hehe."

Tai Xuan Divine Lord smiled upon hearing this.

"good."

"The threshold for participating in the Ascension Tournament is the Golden Core Realm, but the Golden Core Realm alone is far from enough."

"The Golden Core Realm is merely a stepping stone to the Ascension Competition. To achieve a ranking in the Ascension Competition, one must cultivate powerful immortal techniques."

""

Tai Xuan Shenjun stroked his beard and spoke, while Zi Guang observed Gu Qing's reaction.

the other side.

Gu Qing's breath hitched when he heard the words "immortal arts".

"My Lord, what are immortal arts?"

Since the Supreme Mysterious Lord brought this up, he should know the answer.

As expected, when Gu Qing asked about this question, Tai Xuan Divine Lord continued to explain: "Young friend Gu, you are still in the Foundation Establishment Realm. You should know that the key to the Foundation Establishment Realm is to condense ten layers of Dao Foundation."

The civilization of the Immortal Kingdom has developed for tens of millions of years, and it is fundamentally different from the cultivation of immortality in ancient times.

In ancient times, to break through from the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Golden Core Realm, one only needed to break through the bottleneck and forcibly condense a Golden Core.

now.

The golden cores condensed by the key immortal seeds cultivated by the Immortal Kingdom are not ordinary golden cores, but immortal golden cores condensed with immortal techniques as their core.

"The Golden Elixir of Immortality?"

Gu Qing had never heard of this kind of knowledge before, and when he first heard about the Immortal Golden Elixir, he frowned.

It's normal that you don't know.

"This is knowledge that can only be accessed in university, and you are just a mercenary who graduated from high school."

"The Supreme Mysterious Lord said calmly."

"Well!"

Gu Qing was speechless. Was this the pressure from the top student?

Before Gu Qing could explain, Tai Xuan Shenjun continued, "The so-called Immortal Golden Core is based on the Dao Foundation, constructing the core of immortal techniques, and condensing the Immortal Golden Core."

In ancient times, there was a saying that there were nine grades of elixir.

When ancient cultivators awaken their divine foundation, the grade of their Golden Core increases by one level with each additional foundation, up to a maximum of Grade Nine Golden Core.

After millions of years of development, the Immortal Kingdom has analyzed the entire cultivation system of the Golden Core Realm. Based on the Nine-Rank Golden Core, and with the Dao Foundation as the foundation, it has constructed the core of Immortal Techniques to achieve the Immortal Golden Core.

Immortal arts are the key to unifying the power of our ten levels of Dao foundation.

Without immortal techniques, even if you awaken ten levels of Dao Foundation, each a Heavenly Grade Divine Ability, you can only use one at a time. After cultivating immortal techniques, you can unify the power of all ten levels of Dao Foundation, transforming them into an Immortal Seed.

"The true contest in the Ascension Competition is actually about immortal arts."

"hiss""

Upon hearing this news, Gu Qing couldn't help but gasp.

really.

Failing to get into university will leave a lasting scar, and if it weren't for the divine lord Tai Xuan's explanation today, he would still be in the dark.

If someone participates in the Ascension Tournament without cultivating immortal techniques, they'll likely be ridiculed as a bumpkin. Perhaps, in the eyes of cultivators who practice immortal techniques, those who don't are no different from monkeys.

Cultivation, in essence, is evolution.

Transformation from low-dimensional life into an immortal void being.

After a slight sigh, Gu Qing suddenly thought of a question: "Divine Lord, you just said that the function of immortal techniques is to integrate the power of the ten Dao foundations and transform it into an immortal seed."

"But most cultivators awaken different divine foundations. There are countless types of divine foundations, so what kind of immortal technique can unify the power of countless divine foundations?"

"Well, that's a problem!"

"The answer is simple: because everyone cultivates different immortal techniques."

Tai Xuan Divine Lord replied with a smile.

"How is this possible?"

"Everyone's magic is different; does that mean everyone can create their own magic?"

The difficulty of creating immortal techniques to unify the power of ten Dao foundations is unimaginable.

"You're getting stuck on this. Not everyone needs to create their own magic from scratch."

"The technology accumulated over millions of years in the Immortal Kingdom is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless cultivators. In the process of developing immortal arts, the most common is the single-attribute immortal arts template."

Young friend Gu should know that single-attribute profound cultivation is the easiest.

If a cultivator's ten awakened Dao foundations are all single-attribute profound divine abilities, they can use single-attribute immortal technique templates. The cultivator only needs to slightly adjust the immortal technique templates to suit their own ten Dao foundations.

Cultivators practice the profound fusion of two attributes, selecting a corresponding dual-attribute immortal technique template, and then adjusting the template according to their own circumstances to ultimately cultivate their own unique immortal technique.

"I wonder what attribute your divine foundation is?"

"I ask you curiously," said the Supreme Mysterious God.

Gu Qing has condensed four Dao foundations: purple, black, red, and crimson, all of which are of high quality. I wonder what Gu Qing's foundation is like.

Perhaps, we can get a glimpse of the whole picture from the attributes of the divine foundation.

"God Lord".

"The first four layers of my Dao foundation correspond to the four attributes of fire, wood, blood, and earth, respectively."

"Forehead!!"

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Mysterious Lord broke off another beard hair.

Normally speaking, the quality of a cultivator's spiritual foundation is closely related to the profound mysteries they comprehend.

The strength level of the profound mystery is positively correlated with the foundation of one's Dao.

Gu Qing cultivated the four profound mysteries and awakened four Dao foundations of purple, black, red, and crimson respectively, indicating that Gu Qing's comprehension of these four attribute mysteries was also quite high.

"My Lord, is my Dao Foundation attribute too complex? Does it lack a corresponding immortal technique?"

Seeing the astonished expression on Tai Xuan Shen Jun's face, Gu Qing's heart sank.
