Theoretically, I'm a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator Now
"Congratulations! You've finally reached the late stage of the Golden Core!" The Immortal Fairy clapped her hands, beaming with joy.
"Your cultivation speed is not bad, only a little slower than mine. I estimate it's at the speed of a Ninth-Level Immortal or a Qilin Immortal."
The speed of cultivation is not the most important factor in determining whether one can become an immortal; rather, it is a manifestation of whether one possesses the aptitude to become an immortal.
"Seeing you cultivate so diligently reminds me of how the Nine Heavens Immortals cultivate all day long, in a frantic rush, as if their butts are on fire. They are truly hardworking."
Lu Yang nodded. Competition was fierce in High Antiquity times. If you were a step behind, you would be a step behind everywhere. The Nine Immortals' hard work in cultivation was a reflection of the fierce competition of that era.
In contrast, although it is said that a great era is coming and geniuses will emerge in great numbers, with the spirit of High Antiquity, the current level of cultivation is still not as high as in High Antiquity. People like Meng Jingzhou spend their days idly, going out to do missions, wasting their time and delaying their cultivation, which is despicable.
"It's a pity. No matter how diligent they are, their cultivation speed is still not as fast as mine. They are always defeated by me in battles against opponents of higher levels."
"That being said, although they can't beat me, their escape speed has been increasing each time. There were a few times when I almost couldn't catch them."
Lu Yang thought to himself that the Nine Immortals were cultivating so diligently that they probably wanted to match his cultivation level and avoid getting beaten up.
"At my current cultivation speed, I should be able to reach the Nascent Soul Realm in at most six months." Since he began cultivating, Lu Yang has never encountered a cultivation bottleneck. The cultivation of the Sword Spirit Root emphasizes unstoppable momentum and soaring to the sky, breaking through any obstacles and bottlenecks.
"Actually, you can be considered to be in the Nascent Soul Realm now," the Immortal Fairy said calmly.
Why?
What are the signs of advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm?
"Cultivating the Primordial Spirit in the Dantian and manifesting as an infant." This is the definition of the Nascent Soul Realm in the cultivation world, which Lu Yang had already memorized.
The eldest senior sister had a belly full of Golden Cores. She chose one of them to shatter into a nascent Golden Core, while the rest remained in the Golden Core state. According to the realm markers, the eldest senior sister at that time belonged to the Nascent Soul Realm, not the Golden Core stage.
"That's right. I'm currently in the Primordial Spirit state. As long as I stay in your Dantian, wouldn't I be at the Nascent Soul Realm?"
"Besides, now that you've left the Ask Dao Sect, you can challenge opponents of higher levels; you have genuine Nascent Soul Realm combat power."
"You have the marks and combat power of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. If you're not Nascent Soul Realm who is?"
Lu Yang: "..."
I have no problem with it, but I'm worried that other Nascent Soul Realm might disagree.
"Believe it or not, when our ancient ancestors were exploring the realms of cultivation, this was the earliest Nascent Soul Realm."
"When the ancient ancestors reached the Golden Core stage, they could not find a way out. At this time, a person refined the Primordial Spirit of Demon Beast into his Dantian, gaining unparalleled power, enough to crush all Golden Core stage cultivators. The ancient ancestors then named this realm the Nascent Soul Realm."
"But this Nascent Soul Realm also comes at a price: a very short lifespan, and the Demon Beast's Primordial Spirit is incompatible with the human body, making it easy to die suddenly."
"Gradually, some people shattered their Golden Cores and discovered that a small figure emerged from within Golden Core; this small figure was their own Primordial Spirit."
"That's how I came to be at the Nascent Soul Realm of cultivation."
Just as the initial Golden Core stage was replaced by demon cores, the human race relied on the power of the Demon Race when exploring the Nascent Soul Realm.
The method of using demon cores instead of Golden Core cores still exists today. In the cultivation world, this Golden Core stage is called the pseudo-core stage.
"So that's how it is."
Lu Yang suddenly realized that the fairy had finally told him a story that, although not useful, was indeed a legitimate High Antiquity secret.
Suddenly, Lu Yang faintly heard the sounds of fighting coming from afar.
"This direction... is that the mountain gate?"
Lu Yang was surprised. Why were there sounds of fighting coming from the mountain gate? Was someone about to attack the Ask Dao Sect?
Such a blatant attack is something even the Imperial Preceptor wouldn't do.
"Let's go take a look," the Immortal Fairy suggested excitedly, "There's going to be some excitement."
Lu Yang went down the mountain and ran into Meng Jingzhou, who was also on his way to check on the situation.
"What happened?"
"I don't know, but I'm going to go check it out myself."
"Together."
"Good."
The fighting was intense. Not only Lu Yang and his companion, but also many senior brothers and sisters went to the mountain gate to check the situation. The crowd was huge.
The closer they got to the mountain gate, the more intense the fighting became.
Upon arriving at the mountain gate, they discovered that several Nascent Integrated Body Realm Cultivators were engaged in a fierce battle in the air. Their methods were ruthless, their moves were sharp and decisive, and they displayed the prowess of the Body Integration Realm without any hesitation.
Lu Yang also recognized one of them, who Body Integration Realm; he was called the Silent Daoist.
"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? I just went back to the sect, why are you waiting for me at the sect gate?" the Silent Daoist shouted, dodging and weaving. Although he looked disheveled, his Movement Method were agile and nimble, and none of his attacks landed.
"Who's got nothing better to do than wait here for you? You've walked right into our trap!" The other cultivators at the Body Integration Realm moved in perfect unison, launching a relentless barrage of attacks, giving the Silent Daoist no chance to catch his breath.
"A strong wind is blowing!"
The hurricane raged, whipping up endless sand and dust, even blowing huge rocks into the air.
A tornado-like sandstorm roared in, hurtling towards the Silent Daoist.
The silent Daoist swept his whisk, cutting off the sandstorm.
"Then what are you doing at my Ask Dao Sect?"
"I originally intended to propose marriage to your disciple Lu Yang, but I happened to see you at the door. I think it's not important whether I propose or not; I'll beat you up first."
The other cultivators in the Body Integration Realm nodded in agreement; they thought the same thing.
Lu Yang understood: his master had finally returned to the sect and happened to run into the marriage proposal team. The team was furious when they saw the Silent Daoist and attacked him together.
To be honest, Lu Yang had absolutely no intention of helping his master.
The other senior brothers and sisters were also watching the battle, but none of them showed any sign of making a move. Perhaps it was because a battle at the Body Integration Realm was a rare sight, and everyone was immersed in the learning atmosphere and had no time to intervene.
Tao Yaoye, in particular, studied the most diligently. This was a true battle at the Body Integration Realm, and the moves were more ruthless than in ordinary combat, making it very suitable for use in "Dreamlike Illusion".
During the celebration, Tao Yaoye demonstrated how to use the Dreamy Bubble, which received much praise. After the celebration, with the help of the sect, Tao Yaoye is vigorously promoting the Dreamy Bubble, and it has already taken shape.
The target audience for Dreamy Bubble is ordinary people and low-level cultivators. The ticket price is not expensive, but all things considered, it is much more profitable than Lu Yang's flying car patent fees.
Among the younger generation, Meng Jingzhou has the most Spirit Stones, followed by Tao Yaoye, with Lu Yang ranking only third.
As the precious darling of the barbarian tribe, Man Gu receives a considerable amount of pocket money, which is why he ranks fourth.
Li Haoran is ranked fifth, but this is only temporary. Once he marries Su Yiren and they have joint property, his wealth ranking will quickly climb to second.
Finally, the Silent Daoist seized an opening in the attack, transformed into a sword light, and flew into the sect. Only then did the Nascent Body Integration Realm cultivators who had proposed marriage give up the chase and leave with slight regret.
He was covered in dust, looking disheveled, and struggling to catch his breath.
He was just passing by the sect and happened to be there to take a look; who would have thought he'd have enemies at the sect's entrance?
"Master, what grudge do you hold against them?" Lu Yang asked curiously.
"It's hard to say."
"Hard to say?"
"I have too many enemies to remember them all."
The second update will be at 11 PM.
