As the soundproof air shield activated by Xiao Niangzi Li Xiaolan's jade pendant appeared,
The surroundings became eerily quiet. Even though Lin Xuankong had reached the Layer Nine Perfection, he couldn't hear the slightest sound from the outside world.
Li Xiaolan then spoke with a mysterious expression:
"The news that the Crane Immortal Sect will be accepting disciples has been spread to thousands of dynasties this time."
At the same time, the number of disciples to be accepted this year has been increased to twenty-one.
There are naturally special reasons for this.
"Have you two ever heard of the Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material?"
Lin Xuankong shook his head. " The Sixth Heavenly Meridian? It's a special innate bloodline, similar to Ying'er's Mysterious Phoenix Strange Meridian?"
The Third Princess Xiao Ying'er, held a grape to Lin Xuankong's lips, then shook her head. "It shouldn't be, right? Since it's called the Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material, could it be related to the Kui Water Meridian Spiritual Object, the Yimu Meridian Spiritual Object, the Geng Metal Thick Earth, or the Departing Fire Spirit Material?"
Li Xiaolan nodded and pinched Xiao Ying'er's fair and delicate face.
"Sister Ying'er is so clever, she understands immediately. This Sixth Heavenly Meridian is indeed similar to the Metal Spirit Material and the Thick Earth Spirit Material!"
She glanced at Lin Xuankong and said, "You're just making wild guesses. If it's a spiritual object, it must be an external thing. How could it be an innate bloodline?"
Lin Xuankong:
So they've teamed up to target and attack me, their husband?
Hehe, you two 'harem' are planning to cause trouble!
Just wait, after Li Xiaolan hears your story about the disciple-acceptance ceremony, she'll definitely let you experience firsthand how ferocious the Perfected Blood Burning Secret Art and the Frenzied Tiger Roaring Bone Technique are. Hmm, I'll also add the red glow of the Heavenly Eye to give you a double experience!
While Lin Xuankong was secretly making fun of Li Xiaolan in his mind, the young lady, completely unaware, picked up another chive pancake and said while eating:
"This Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material is the most difficult to obtain for humans, including demons, to cultivate to the Mortal Transformation Realm!"
The Third Princess, Xiao Ying'er, frowned and said:
"But isn't the Mortal Transformation Realm cultivation simply about condensing the Kui Water Meridian, Yimu Meridian, Hou Earth Meridian, Geng Metal Meridian, and Li Fire Vein, and having Five Element Spirit Meridians complete to the Mortal Transformation Realm perfection and then seek to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm and condense the Golden Core?"
How could a Sixth Heavenly Meridian appear?
Is condensing the Five Element Spirit Meridians not the limit of cultivation in the Mortal Transformation Realm?
But I've searched through all the cultivation manuals treasured in my family since I was a child, even the ancient cultivation records, and none of them mentioned anything about the sixth meridian! Sister Xiaolan, are you sure it's the sixth spiritual meridian?"
Lin Xuankong's face also showed curiosity.
Throughout his years of cultivation, he had always heard the theory that having all Five Element Spirit Meridians complete was enough to attempt a breakthrough to the Earth Immortal Realm realm. How come there's now a Sixth Heavenly Meridian?
Seeing the curiosity on their faces, Li Xiaolan couldn't help but smile:
"When I heard Master Qu Wan'er mention it, I was just like the two of you, almost unable to believe it. This was tantamount to overturning my previous understanding of cultivation!"
However, it is indeed true. Master Qu Wan'er also told me that she had used all twenty of her treasured Ascension Treasure Pill to secure two Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material for me. Because of the limited number of Spiritual Objects, the entire Crane Immortal Sect only obtained thirty-six, so it was already extremely difficult for her to forcefully obtain two for me!
Lin Xuankong was somewhat surprised, "Your Master Qu Wan'er is quite good to you!"
Li Xiaolan nodded and smiled, "Of course, all the senior sisters under Master's tutelage have been complaining to me lately that they have never seen Master treat a new disciple so well, even though they Entry Level disciples for decades or even centuries, and some of them have even achieved the Early Earth Immortal Entry Level two or three hundred years!"
Lin Xuankong said, "But you said those thirty-six Sixth Heavenly Meridian were obtained by the Crane Immortal Sect? Could it be that these mysterious Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material are not produced by the many spiritual mountains and peaks of the Crane Immortal Sect?"
Li Xiaolan raised her eyebrows and said, "Of course it's not a product of those spiritual mountains and peaks of the Crane Immortal Sect!"
Master Qu Wan'er said that these thirty-six Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material were personally seized by the three Supreme Elder of the Heavenly Sect, in conjunction with high-ranking earth immortals from several other large immortal sects, from the territory of a ninth-rank Demon King deep in the Boundless Mountains!
In that battle, the Demon King forcibly suppressed a Seventh Grade Earth Immortal, and three Eighth Grade Earth Immortal were also injured, their golden cores damaged, and they fell to the Sixth Grade Earth Immortal. It is estimated that it will take them hundreds of years to recover their cultivation!
Now, those major immortal sects have also received some Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material and are recruiting new disciples!
Upon hearing this, the Third Princess Xiao Ying'er's pretty face changed slightly.
"This Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material is actually so precious?"
"How could it attract so many high-ranking Earth Immortals to take action? One Seventh Grade Earth Immortal was even suppressed, and two Eighth Grade Earth Immortal were severely injured?"
In the eyes of the Third Princess Xiao Ying'er, Early Earth Immortal is already close to immortality, a true immortal. Their golden core and Immortal Body are incredibly powerful, and they can transform into a thousand-foot-tall Immortal Body at any moment, moving mountains and filling seas with a wave of their hand!
If Early Earth Immortal is already this strong, how strong must a high-grade Earth Immortal's Golden Core and Immortal Body be? They could probably transform into a ten-thousand-foot-tall Immortal Body, standing tall and upright, and once their Golden Core is released, nothing can withstand their power!
Such a high-ranking Earth Immortal, in his struggle for the Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material, actually risked his life and was directly suppressed?
The value of Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material is unimaginable! It's probably many, many times more precious than a celestial weapon!
Lin Xuankong asked with a curious expression, "Why are the Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material so precious?"
A clear look of longing and anticipation appeared in Li Xiaolan's eyes.
"Normal cultivators,"
Before advancing to the Early Earth Immortal Realm realm
It requires the Five Elements Spiritual Material to condense five kinds of spiritual veins.
By the time one reaches the Layer Nine Perfection in cultivation, all Five Element Spirit Meridians will have been fully nurtured.
After being stimulated by the Ascension Treasure Pill and nurtured by a large amount of immortal essence in the Immortal Yuan Cave Mansion, and finally tempered by the Earth Immortal Heavenly Tribulation, the Five Element Spirit Meridians can be united to form an almost indestructible Earth Immortal Golden Core!
With this Earth Immortal Golden Core Elixir,
Cultivators who have just entered the Earth Immortal Realm realm can naturally use the Earth Immortal Essence transformed from their Golden Core to temper their Immortal Body.
Thus, one can be like a divine dragon, changing size at will, possessing boundless power, and having a lifespan that can be increased to at least eight thousand years!
Furthermore, Early Earth Immortal can merge their Spirit Soul into their Golden Core, thus reaching the state of unity of body and soul. From then on, as long as the Golden Core remains intact, it is almost impossible for an Earth Immortal to die from an external attack!
In addition, because the five elements are unified and their variations are endless, even Early Earth Immortal can cultivate various immortal techniques.
For example, the thunder magic you practice, my Husband...
Normally, cultivators without lightning-attribute bloodlines are simply unable to cultivate.
However, Earth Immortals, possessing powerful Five Elements Golden Cores, can easily cultivate various thunder techniques and also possess a variety of immortal arts such as summoning wind and rain and turning the earth into steel!
This is also the most fundamental difference between immortals and mortals.
This is also the fundamental reason why immortals can perform various immortal arts!
but,
Immortals at the Earth Immortal Realm realm
Because the Earth Immortal Golden Core is transformed from the Five Elements Spiritual Material.
Therefore, even if one cultivates to a high level, one is still ultimately bound by the Five Elements.
They can only cultivate various Five Elements Immortal Arts, similar to some true Celestial Immortal and Heavenly Demon Arts on the Heavenly Demon Bone, but they cannot cultivate them themselves. They can only use them by fusing with and nurturing the Heavenly Demon Bone!
after all,
The Heavenly Demon Arts Heavenly Demon Bone
It has already transcended the scope of the Five Elements.
For example, the Incarnation Technique mastered by the Heavenly Sect Master Hua, and the Time Manipulation Technique possessed by Cao Yu, are all more powerful and wondrous techniques of celestial demons and immortals!
Moreover, immortals at the Earth Immortal Realm realm,
Each time one cultivates to the point where their Immortal Body and golden core can transform, they must face an extremely dangerous heavenly tribulation if they wish to advance to the next level!
It can be said that most of the Earth Immortals in the Central Divine Dynasty did not actually die from exhaustion of their lifespan or from fighting. After all, as long as the Golden Core is not broken, Earth Immortals almost never die. In fact, most of them died from the Heavenly Tribulation when breaking through to a higher realm!
Lin Xuankong frowned and said, "So, what does this have to do with the Sixth Heavenly Meridian?"
Li Xiaolan glared at him. "What's the rush? Listen to me slowly. Is there something urgent?"
"So eager to use the Frenzied Tiger Roaring Bone Technique on you!" Lin Xuankong thought to himself, but his expression remained calm.
Seeing that he was silent, Li Xiaolan shook her little head.
She chuckled with a hint of smugness before continuing:
However, there are always exceptions to this world!
This Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material is an exception!
Through the Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material, Mortal Transformation Realm cultivator can condense the Sixth Heavenly Meridian and successfully advance to the tenth level of the Mortal Breakthrough!
After consuming the Ascension Treasure Pill and refining the Immortal Body to form a golden core, one can become an extremely miraculous Six Paths Golden Core, thus roaming freely between heaven and earth, outside the Five Elements, possessing a golden core and Immortal Body surpassing those of earth immortals of the same realm!
Most importantly, because it condenses the extremely miraculous Six Paths Golden Core, the chance of successfully resisting the Heavenly Tribulation each time it advances in realm will be several times higher than that of an ordinary Earth Immortal!
Master Qu Wan'er said that the Central Divine Dynasty, the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect, and the Lingtai Buddhist Sect have not produced a true Celestial Immortal cultivator for nearly two hundred thousand years.
And that is precisely why,
For two hundred thousand years, the Heavenly Gate has remained closed, and the Heavenly Path has not been revealed.
So much so that even some Earth Immortals have begun to doubt whether anyone in this world can cultivate to the Celestial Immortal realm!
If it weren't for the discovery of the Heavenly Demon Bone by an Earth Immortal a hundred thousand years ago, the Heavenly Demon Arts would probably have disappeared from this world long ago!
Hearing Li Xiaolan mention this,
Both Lin Xuankong and Xiao Ying'er showed surprise on their faces.
Six Paths Golden Core, able to withstand heavenly tribulations, a Celestial Immortal realm unseen for two hundred thousand years. If these words hadn't come from Xiao Ying'er, they probably wouldn't have believed it; after all, this information was simply too astonishing!
However, a hint of doubt quickly appeared in Lin Xuankong's eyes.
"Since it is such a precious Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material, why don't the Earth Immortals of those large immortal sects like the Crane Immortal Sect use it themselves? Why don't they let their disciples use it, instead of recruiting new disciples? Don't they covet this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to become a Celestial Immortal?"
Li Xiaolan rolled her eyes at him.
" The Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material is extremely rare. It is said that the Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material discovered in the Boundless Mountains this time was not only monopolized by the Ninth Rank Demon King, but also by the Xuan Yin Demonic Sect, the Lingtai Buddhist Sect, and various immortal sects. Only a few sects managed to obtain a portion of it!"
Apart from those three top sects
Several medium-sized immortal sects, such as the Crane Immortal Sect, have actually distributed most of their spiritual resources to other sects.
For example, the Crane Immortal Sect handed some over to the Lingtai Buddhist Sect. It is said that a Junior Bodhisattva named Jialin Bodhisattva came with Buddhist spiritual Spiritual Treasure to collect the spiritual items!
The remaining spiritual treasures of the Crane Immortal Sect could not all be kept for themselves; besides keeping seventeen for their own use,
The other spiritual items were threatened by the combined forces of other sects, which forced them to open up more sects and allow ninth-level disciples from various immortal sects to compete for the best. The strongest among them could then possess one of the twenty-one spiritual items!
In fact, this disciple-acceptance ceremony of the Crane Immortal Sect, though it sounds nice on the surface, actually involved many disciples from various immortal sects during the actual competition!
Those currently ranked at the top will likely be nowhere near the top when the actual apprenticeship ceremony begins.
Aside from the top three who do indeed have a strong advantage, most of the others will be defeated by disciples from other immortal sects. After all, the disciples of those other immortal sects are all extremely talented, and they also have various magical artifacts, exotic beasts, and even immortal artifacts bestowed by their sects!
As for why powerful Earth Immortals don't use their abilities themselves?
The Earth Immortal has already condensed a Golden Core; how could they possibly have another chance to condense it again!
Unless a powerful Earth Immortal is willing to give up thousands of years of arduous cultivation, forcibly separate their Spirit Soul, shatter their golden core, and dissipate their immortal essence, they can only fall to the Layer Nine of Mortal Transformation Realm and regain the opportunity to condense a new golden core!
But the path of cultivation is so difficult.
Those Earth Immortals of the Crane Immortal Sect,
Of those who cultivated from the Early Earth Immortal to the First-grade Earth Immortal, half perished in the Heavenly Tribulation, while the rest spent at least three hundred years to advance to the First-grade Earth Immortal.
Two-thirds of the First-grade Earth Immortal who were Second Grade Earth Immortal perished in the terrifying Heavenly Tribulation before they could advance to the Second Grade Earth Immortal. Others spent at least five hundred years to achieve this goal!
As for the Second Grade Earth Immortal, nine-tenths perished in the Heavenly Tribulation, while the rest spent a thousand years to advance to the Third Grade Earth Immortal!
This journey of cultivation...
The number of fallen Earth Immortals is many times greater than the number of those who have advanced!
How many Earth Immortals would be willing to abandon thousands or even tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation and start cultivating all over again from the Layer Nine Perfection?
Although the Six Paths Golden Core increases the success rate of facing heavenly tribulations by three to four times, and the power of immortal techniques and Immortal Body is also several times stronger.
However, this advantage is mostly reflected in lower-grade Earth Immortals, such as those at the initial stage and the first or second grade.
Once you reach the intermediate level, the chance of advancing to the Earth Immortal realm is less than one in a hundred. Even with several times the success rate, it's still only one in twenty or thirty, and it's still fraught with danger!
Therefore, apart from the three Early Earth Immortal who were given a spiritual item and were willing to give up their cultivation to start over, the other second- and third-stage Third Grade Earth Immortal in the Crane Immortal Sect were actually not very willing to give up their cultivation!
Furthermore, even if one obtains the Sixth Heavenly Meridian Spirit Material,
Even with just one, the chance of successfully condensing the Sixth Heavenly Meridian is extremely low, reportedly only one percent!
With such a low probability, how many Earth Immortals would be willing to give up their current achievements for that illusory and elusive Six Paths Golden Core?
