Reward, Secret of the Nascent Soul

[53 years old, you broke through to Golden Core Layer 3.]

[54 years old, the Tianjian Sect's preparations were complete.]

[Disciples scattered outside the sect were also recalled.]

[On the new Tianjian Island, Venerable Moon Sword officially announced the reconstruction of the Tianjian Sect and made some plans for its future, aiming to restore the sect's strength as soon as possible.]

[After the grand ceremony, Venerable Moon Sword summoned you.]

[For saving them this time, and for preserving part of the Tianjian Sect's foundation.]

[After much deliberation among the Deity Transformation Venerables, they unanimously decided to reward you.]

[However, the sect's resources were destroyed along with the sect, and the next batch of resources had not yet been collected, leaving current resources insufficient.]

[Thus, Venerable Moon Sword gave you two options.]

[One was to receive a small material reward, but with compensation in other aspects.]

[The second was to receive part of the reward first, with the rest owed and to be paid later when the sect had sufficient resources.]

[After some thought, you chose the first option.]

[You received 3000 top-grade Spirit Stones.]

[You received a fifth-tier top-grade Spirit Armor, the Yin Yang Wind Cloud Armor.]

"How much, how much is this? You call this a small amount?"

Outside the simulation, Su Yang blinked.

As expected, his level and vision still couldn't keep up with the Deity Transformation Venerables.

3000 top-grade Spirit Stones were equivalent to 3 million mid-grade Spirit Stones, or 3 billion low-grade Spirit Stones.

This was enough to match ten Lan Clan Treasure Vaults.

Not to mention the even more precious fifth-tier defensive Spirit Armor.

Spirit Armors possessed their own spirits, capable of absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth to unleash powerful might.

A fifth-tier top-grade defensive Spirit Armor, before its stored energy was depleted.

Ordinary Deity Transformation Venerables could not break through its defenses.

Even mid-tier Deity Transformation Venerables would not be able to break it in a short time.

Only high-tier Deity Transformation Venerables had the ability to shatter the defenses of an unactivated Spirit Armor in a single blow.

But how many high-tier Deity Transformations were there on Qixia Island?

Besides the Tianjian Sect, at most four or five.

This meant that, excluding the Tianjian Sect, there were no more than 5 people on Qixia Island who could easily kill the simulated Su Yang.

The simulated Su Yang's safety had greatly increased.

The simulation continued.

[In addition, as compensation, each Deity Transformation Venerable left you a talisman.]

[These talismans not only sealed their strongest divine abilities but also sealed part of their consciousness, allowing you to consult them promptly if you had questions.]

[However, this consciousness would gradually dissipate over time and with excessive consultation.]

[It would normally not exist for more than 1000 years, and you could not open it for consultation more than 10 times.]

[Of course, while the consciousness still existed, you could freely control the divine abilities sealed within the talismans, even breaking down their power to unleash it bit by bit.]

[Finally, Venerable Blazing Sun and Venerable Qingyuan took action, spending two years to help you cultivate the simplified divine ability, Flame Burst Battle Body.]

[They also promised that after you reached the Nascent Soul stage, they would help you cultivate the higher-level divine ability of the Flame Burst Battle Body, the Blazing Flame Spirit Body, and even the top-tier divine ability at the Deity Transformation stage, the Crimson Blaze Origin Body.]

[Your physique greatly increased, and your physical strength alone could rival an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator.]

[By utilizing the stored Flame Burst power of the Flame Burst Battle Body, you could even temporarily rival a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.]

[If you chose to expend the Flame Burst power all at once, you could even barely wield the Purple Meteor Sword and unleash a Deity Transformation level attack.]

[Besides these, you felt that the quality of your inferior Fire Burning Spiritual Root had improved.]

[With the enhancement of your two prime spiritual roots, your cultivation speed had increased significantly.]

[58 years old, you broke through to Golden Core Layer 4.]

[Gu Changfeng found you and told you that after becoming a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, you should start preparing for the Nascent Soul stage.]

[You asked him how to do that.]

[He frankly said that while studying third-tier spells and third-tier Origin Body Cultivation techniques to strengthen your foundation and origin, you should also determine your direction for Nascent Soul formation and find the corresponding Nascent Soul spiritual materials in advance.]

[You took out the Nascent Soul Pill obtained from the Lan Clan Treasure Vault and asked if it would suffice.]

[He shook his head, saying that it was just the most ordinary Nascent Soul spiritual material and could only lead to an ordinary Nascent Soul.]

[And with your foundation of a first-grade Golden Core, it would be a waste not to pursue a more special path.]

[You sought his guidance.]

He told you that besides the ordinary Nascent Soul, there are also Human Dao Nascent Soul, Earth Dao Nascent Soul, and Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, but none are superior to the others; the difference lies only in the individual.

The Human Dao Nascent Soul is the most special. It doesn't require any Nascent Soul spiritual items for guidance, but is condensed entirely through one's own foundation and origin. All the spells you cultivate, including simplified divine abilities, will become its aid. The stronger your foundation, origin, spells, and divine abilities, the stronger the Nascent Soul will be.

The powerful ones can surpass the top-tier Earth Dao and Heavenly Dao Nascent Souls, but the weak ones are only comparable to ordinary Nascent Souls.

Both the Earth Dao Nascent Soul and the Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul require different treasures.

The Earth Dao requires the turbid energy of the earth, while the Heavenly Dao requires the pure energy of the nine heavens.

The higher the quality of the turbid and pure energy, the better.

In the past, the sect's treasure vaults always contained the pure and turbid energies, but they were all destroyed by the Pillar Reaching Heaven.

If you want to follow the path of the Earth Dao or Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul, you will have to find a way to collect the pure or turbid energy in advance. Only Deity Transformation Venerables can do this.

You went to see Venerable Moon Sword and asked her if she had any turbid energy of the earth or pure energy of the nine heavens.

She told you that she didn't have any at the moment.

However, the sect had already considered this.

Two Deity Transformation Venerables had already departed.

One went to the high heavens to collect and gather the pure energy of the nine heavens.

One went to the depths of the earth to absorb and compress the turbid energy of the earth.

It would only take 300 years to condense the highest quality pure and turbid energies.

You calculated your remaining lifespan and realized you wouldn't be able to wait that long.

You asked her if there was a faster method.

Venerable Moon Sword told you that in that case, you could only find someone to exchange with.

However, the other Deity Transformation forces on Qixia Island had generally weaker Venerables, making it difficult for them to collect high-grade pure or turbid energy.

To obtain them, you would have to leave Qixia Island and it would be best to check out the territory of the Seven Islands Alliance.

"The Seven Islands Alliance?"

"A new map outside of Qixia Island?"

"And judging by Venerable Moon Sword's words, it should be more prosperous and thriving than Qixia Island."

"I wonder what it will be like!"

Su Yang also felt some anticipation.

Perhaps by reaching the Seven Islands Alliance, he could figure out the matter of the Pillar Reaching Heaven.

Venerable Moon Sword continued, saying that if you couldn't wait, she would make a trip to the Seven Islands Alliance.

You thought this was simply perfect.
