He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 459 Astral Projection (Third Update)

There are currently two decent houses available for purchase within the territory.

One is a wind-swept house, located next to the blacksmith's shop in the wilderness area, and the price is relatively cheap.

The other is Tundra Manor, located opposite the farm to the east of the city. It's quite large, but also relatively more expensive.

After finding Provantus, the chief steward in charge of housing, Li Chuan obtained the blueprints and related information for two houses that he could purchase.

Considering that the noisy city was not suitable for his secluded cultivation breakthrough, he decisively chose the Tundra Manor, which was larger and quieter outside the city.

Although it was a bit expensive, it didn't matter to him since he had plenty of money.

So after paying, he quickly received the deed and key to the Tundra Manor and headed out of town.

By this time, news that Li Chuan had helped the Whiterun Guards kill the dragon and was thus appointed as a Martial Guard had spread throughout the city. After all, Balghurst had previously made quite a commotion in the city's defenses to prevent the dragon's attack.

Everyone who met Li Chuan along the way showed him more respect, not only because Li Chuan slew the dragon and protected Whiterun, but also because of the admiration for the strong.

When the guards of Whiterun see him, they will stop and bow to greet him, calling him "Lord Martial Guard".

As the trading center of Skyrim Province, Li Chuan estimated that it wouldn't be long before his dragon-slaying exploits and his identity as a dragon descendant spread throughout the world through the city's merchants and adventurers.

"Sir, it's more than 20 miles from here to Tundra Manor. We'd better ride horses."

As they passed the horse farm after leaving the city gate, Lydia, acting as a guard, offered a thoughtful reminder.

Li Chuan simply smiled:

"Riding a horse is too slow, let's fly there."

Now, he no longer needs to hide his flying ability.

"fly?"

Lydia's eyes widened in surprise. She had never heard of people being able to fly, not even those strange magicians.

Li Chuan didn't explain, but simply grabbed Lydia's steel armor, his flying sword wings unfolded on his back, and he instantly disappeared in a streak of light.

In just a few seconds, he flew over farm after farm and saw the Tundra Manor standing alone on a green plain.

This is a very beautiful little estate. In addition to a large house where you can live, there is a complete set of forging equipment, stables, farmland, beehives and other facilities.

I estimate that even without leaving home, they could live here completely self-sufficiently for a long time.

After retracting his flying sword wings and landing at the manor gate, Li Chuan addressed Lydia, who was still recovering from her shock:

"From now on, you will be the steward of this manor and help me manage it."

Lydia is a fairly strong elite warrior in Whiterun, but she's basically of no help to Li Chuan.

So why not just stay at the manor and be his butler in this world?

"Yes, sir."

Lydia nodded haltingly.

She thought the story of the dragonborn killing dragons and absorbing their power, which she heard when she was a child, was just a legend, but she never expected it to be true.

Look at the dragon-born lady she serves; she has just gained the ability to fly like a dragon.

At this point, Lydia still believed that Li Chuan's ability to fly was due to absorbing the dragon's ability to fly.

At her level, she wouldn't know anything about the true abilities of the Dragonborn; she relied on stories she'd heard since childhood and her own guesses.

Li Chuan took out Provantus to open the manor gate, gave Lydia a few instructions, left enough gold coins, and then entered seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

One month later, in the master bedroom of the Tundra Manor.

Li Chuan closed his eyes, made hand seals, circulated Taoist techniques within his body, unified his mind and spirit, and rapidly circulated the true energy within his body.

"Break it!"

With a loud shout, cracks appeared in his golden core, causing it to explode. Powerful true essence flowed upwards from his dantian, rushing straight to his sea of ​​consciousness.

Or more precisely, it is the microcosm evolved from the sea of ​​consciousness, which merges with the primordial spirit, slowly condensing into a primordial spirit figure exactly like Li Chuan's original body.

The primordial spirit opened its eyes, and true essence, a hundred times stronger than before at the Golden Core stage, once again condensed in Li Chuan's dantian.

At this moment, the powerful aura he unleashed upon advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm soared into the sky, dispersing all the dark clouds above Snowman Territory that was currently experiencing rain, revealing the warm sunlight.

The Nascent Soul Realm is the transformation of the Golden Core into a Nascent Soul, where a physical Nascent Soul identical to the original body is condensed within the dantian.

The Primordial Spirit Realm is the spiritual infancy, where a physical Primordial Spirit, identical to the original body, is condensed within the sea of ​​consciousness.

After passing through the Heavenly Tribulation of the Forty-Nine Heavens, the physical Nascent Soul of the Nascent Soul Realm will merge with the soul and body under the influence of the tribulation, achieving the Earth Immortal Realm.

Similarly, those in the Yuan Shen realm will also merge with the true essence in their dantian and their physical body after transcending the tribulation, thus achieving the Earth Immortal realm.

Therefore, a terrestrial immortal is one whose physical body, soul, and true essence can be perfectly integrated. The primordial spirit and nascent soul are just intermediate realms that diverge, but they will eventually return to the same point.

"The soul leaves the body!"

The moment Li Chuan advanced to the Nascent Soul Realm, he made a hand seal, and the Nascent Soul sitting cross-legged in his microcosm immediately absorbed the true essence in his dantian and flew out from the top of his head.

"As expected, the Nascent Soul Realm's Body Astral Projection is truly different!"

After flying over the rooftops and circling the Tundra Manor, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Even cultivators at the Golden Core stage can have their primordial spirit leave their bodies, but that's just the soul leaving the physical body, and their strength will be greatly reduced; they probably won't even be able to unleash one percent of their usual strength.

And you can't be away for too long.

Only when one reaches the Nascent Soul and Infant Realms can the separation of the body truly be considered a separation, because at this stage, for a normal cultivator, the strength of the separated primordial spirit is basically not diminished compared to when one still has a physical body.

Moreover, even without using any Taoist techniques or magical treasures, the primordial spirit can possess abilities such as flight, passing through walls, and ignoring physical attacks.

The only drawback is that you have to protect your physical body. Once the physical body is destroyed, the primordial spirit and nascent soul will have no foundation and can only become a ghost cultivator or possess another person's body.

How could a possessed body compare to one's own? One's cultivation will be unable to progress any further.

"The primordial spirit has returned to its rightful place!"

After circling in mid-air a few times to test the maximum power brought by advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm, he re-entered his physical body and opened his eyes.

"From now on, when I use the Three Heads and Six Arms technique, I won't have to worry about not having enough true energy."

Feeling the immense true energy within his dantian, Li Chuan smiled.

Using the three-headed, six-armed Susanoo form in battle consumes a great deal of Sage Chakra, while synthesizing Sage Chakra requires normal chakra and true energy.

Previously, he had enough chakra, but his true essence was lacking.

Although he is not currently at the Nascent Soul stage and does not excel in true essence, his true essence has actually increased by nearly a hundred times compared to the Golden Core stage.

Every time a cultivator breaks through a major realm, their strength undergoes a tremendous change.
