Second Primordial Spirit, Innate Primordial Embryo!

The two flying boats sailed side by side towards the sect's main peak, ' Profound Pole Peak '.

True Person Changle's flying boat carried the group of outer disciples from the West Courtyard, while he himself boarded Fairy Nishang's Greenwood Flying Boat.

Iron Pillar, now known as Iron Peak, was also summoned by Zhou Hao.

"Zhou Hao." Iron Peak looked at Zhou Hao, his eyes slightly red.

To him, Zhou Hao was his closest relative, besides his father and aunt.

Now, seeing each other again, the scenes of practicing boxing and visualization with Zhou Hao when I was young seem to flash before my eyes once more.

"Don't call me Zhou Hao anymore." Zhou Hao shook his head and chuckled. "You're so old now, we're from the same sect. Cultivators don't follow seniority based on age, so please call me Senior Brother from now on."

Back then, it was one thing for a little kid to follow behind and call him "uncle," but now... Didn't you see Liu Yu secretly laughing the whole time? Yun Yuchan's lips were also curved in a smile, wanting to laugh but holding it in because she was embarrassed.

"Okay, Zhou Hao, uh, Senior Brother Zhou Hao." Iron Peak quickly corrected himself.

Once you embark on the path to immortality, your lifespan in the Purple Mansion is five hundred years, and in Myriad Phenomena Manifestations it is eight hundred years. Once you reach the Primordial Spirit realm, as long as you don't perish along the way, living for tens of thousands of years is not a difficult thing.

Aside from blood relatives, even among members of the same clan, seniority is mostly determined by strength and cultivation level.

"Father has also entered the Purple Mansion. Now our tribe is not much weaker than the five overlords on the Great Wild Plains. Grandpa the Blind Man is dead..." Iron Peak recounted the changes in the Iron Ox Tribe and Jade Dragon City over the past seventy years to Zhou Hao.

Cao Rong and Yang Yun have become Daoist partners. Both of them have entered the Jade Dragon Sect and are now at the peak of the Purple Mansion, not far from the Myriad Phenomena.

The city lord of Jade Dragon City was still True Person Muxuan, while Ren Baili, one of the two lieutenants, had perished in a battle... Zhou Hao sighed deeply upon hearing this.

While the two of them were reminiscing, on the other side, True Person Changle was also telling Senior Sister Nishang and Senior Brother Lin Han about the changes in the sect over the past seventy years.

Compared to the Iron Ox Tribe in the mortal world, seventy years is too short for the Mysterious Heaven Sect, which has existed since the ancient era of gods and demons; so short that almost nothing has changed.

The one worth mentioning to them is Yuwen Du, one of the three true disciples. He entered the Nascent Soul realm a year ago and is now the chief deacon elder of Tianyu Peak. He is hailed as the only candidate to become the next Tianyu Peak leader.

"So, now the sect only has two true disciples left, Senior Brother Lin Han and I?" Fairy Nishang frowned slightly.

Yuwen Du made further progress, which greatly diminished her joy at having retrieved the family's immortal-grade magic treasure, the ' Nine Thunder Cauldron '.

Seventy years have passed in the blink of an eye. For these geniuses who are at the Myriad Phenomena Realm and in the prime of their power, it's hard to say whether it's a cause for joy or sorrow.

"I heard that Junior Brother Yu Tiandu of Tianyu Peak is currently in seclusion. It's said that he's not far from fully comprehending and mastering a Dao, and is expected to add another true disciple to the sect within a few years," True Person Changle sighed.

"Junior Brother Yu Tiandu has only been in the inner sect for seventy years, yet he is already on track to become a true disciple. He truly deserves to be the most outstanding disciple of the Yu Clan this generation."

Upon hearing this, Senior Sister Nishang Lin Han, Liu Yu, Yun Yuchan all looked at Zhou Hao.

This is the most outstanding one? There's another prodigy here who's already qualified to become a true disciple in less than a year!

"Changsheng Brother Changsheng, I never imagined that we would only stay in that small world for a few days, while seventy years have passed outside. Otherwise, how amazing it would have been if you had advanced to the True Disciple level in just one year." Liu Yu's voice transmission was full of regret.

"So what if it's shocking? It won't give us any more merit points or Origin Liquid anyway," Zhou Hao laughed. "Sooner or later, we're all true disciples."

On Profound Pole Peak, True Person Changle led Iron Peak and the others to the Myriad Forms Hall, while Zhou Hao and his group of five went to a side hall of the Profound Heaven Palace.

The solemn and imposing main hall of the sect is not opened unless there is an important matter. The sect leader, ' Immortal Feng Yu ', usually handles sect affairs in a side hall.

"Sect Leader." Fairy Nishang bowed respectfully to Immortal Feng Yu, who sat at the head of the table. "This disciple and my fellow disciples have safely returned from the fragmented small world of the Northern Xiulu Continent and have come to report to the Sect Leader."

"The world has changed so much in the blink of an eye, seventy years have passed. What are your thoughts?" Immortal Feng Yu looked down at the five people below him, a smile playing on his lips.

"The sect leader already knows?" Fairy Nishang asked in surprise.

She hasn't yet given the memory stone to Immortal Feng Yu.

"Two true disciples and three inner disciples, all of whom are the most outstanding among their peers and have already comprehended the true meaning of the Great Dao, have been gone for several years without a trace. How could we not investigate?" Immortal Feng Yu said.

"Each disciple's token serves not only as your identification and passage through the sect's array, but also as your location. In emergencies, it can even be used to cast secret spells to see your current predicament, allowing the sect to provide assistance."

"After you five left for a year, Patriarch Liangjin came to find Patriarch Mu Yang and asked him to investigate. After investigating, Ancestor Mu Yang learned that the fragmented small world you entered had been covered by the ' Womb Treasury Mandala Heaven Formation,' which artificially created a special environment similar to the ' Saha World,' causing the Saha Sacred Tree to bear divine fruit."

"According to the ancestor, the closer the Asura God Fruit gets to maturity, the slower the flow of time within the fragmented small world will be compared to the outside world."

It turns out that the sect leader and the sect's patriarch were already aware of what the group had encountered within the fragmented world.

The five men looked at each other, secretly grumbling to themselves.

Knowing full well what was going on, they still allowed them to encounter danger. If it weren't for Zhou Hao's extraordinary circumstances and the help of Blue Flower's power and Ao Xiaobao to break the formation, Asura's plan would have succeeded.

"For thwarting the Asura clan's secret plot and averting a catastrophe that would devastate the world, the sect will reward you," Immortal Feng Yu, looking at the five. "Each of you will be granted 50,000 merit points."

"Thank you, Sect Leader," Zhou Hao and the other four replied happily.

"Zhou Hao." Immortal Feng Yu's gaze fell on Zhou Hao. "You have mastered a complete 'Dao' and successfully killed the primordial spirit Asura. You are hereby granted the title of True Disciple and awarded an additional 20,000 merit points."

"Thank you for your kindness, Master." Zhou Hao bowed respectfully.

The sect rewards those who master the complete 'Dao' and are promoted to true disciples with merit points, so the other four were not surprised.

This is also so that newly promoted disciples can exchange merit points for more powerful supernatural abilities and secret techniques to improve their strength.

"The four of you may return first." After giving his reward, the Immortal Feng Yu instructed, "Zhou Hao, stay behind."

"Yes." Fairy Nishang, Senior Brother Lin Han, and the others were also eager to return to their caves. After bowing to Immortal Feng Yu with Liu Yu and Yun Yuchan, they left together, leaving only Immortal Feng Yu and Zhou Hao in the side hall.

"Zhou Hao," Immortal Feng Yu looked at Zhou Hao and asked, "What do you plan to do with the Saha Tree and the Asura God Fruit?"

"I was just about to ask my master for guidance," Zhou Hao said respectfully. "My master said before he went into seclusion that if I had any questions, I could ask my master for guidance."

"That Saha Tree was transformed from a branch of the ' Saha Ancestor Tree,' a sacred object of the Asura race in the Heavenly Realm. It was nurtured by Asura for tens of thousands of years, making it comparable to a celestial-grade treasure, and even more valuable than an ordinary celestial-grade magic weapon," Immortal Feng Yu sighed. "But the most precious part is still that Asura God Fruit!"

Is the divine fruit even more precious?

An ordinary immortal-grade magic treasure is worth at least a million catties of Origin Liquid, so this divine fruit must be worth three to five million catties of Origin Liquid, right?

Zhou Hao's heart pounded; he seemed to already see the day when he would master the second level of the Xuanwu Great Divine Ability.

"Do you know about the Second Primordial Spirit?" A fleeting look of envy crossed Immortal Feng Yu's eyes.

Zhou Hao nodded.

He certainly knew what Second Primordial Spirit was; it was practically common knowledge among cultivators.

The so-called ' Second Primordial Spirit ' is to use a secret technique to split one's own soul in two, with one half of the soul remaining in the original body and the other half entering another vessel to cultivate into Second Primordial Spirit.

Splitting one's soul in two is very dangerous; the soul must be strong enough. If it is weak, it is tantamount to suicide!

Therefore, most cultivators only develop Second Primordial Spirit long after they have become Primordial Spirit Daoist or Earth Immortal of the Void Return!

However, among Primordial Spirit Daoist, not one can truly cultivate Second Primordial Spirit.

There's no other reason than that the carrier is too difficult to find.

The secret technique for cultivating Second Primordial Spirit is directly recorded in the <Profound Heaven Manual> of the Mysterious Heaven Sect. It is the only secret technique in the sect that does not require merit points to exchange for and can be learned by every disciple.

"It is extremely difficult to find a vessel for cultivating Second Primordial Spirit. Even the most mediocre Xuanpin Pearl is one that an ordinary person may not be able to find in their entire life. But even the top-grade Second Primordial Spirit vessels, such as the One Qi Yuan Shui Pearl and the Heavenly Fire Spirit Pearl, which contain the essence of primordial water and primordial fire, are far inferior to this Asura God Fruit," Immortal Feng Yu sighed.

"Even better than the best carrier?" Zhou Hao's ears perked up.

"Um."

Immortal Feng Yu nodded, "An ordinary Second Primordial Spirit, because it is formed by refining a rare vessel into a body through the Second Primordial Spirit Secret Technique, and is not a physical body, can only cultivate the Qi Refining Path."

"But what is nurtured within the Asura God Fruit is the primordial embryo, the unborn Asura God body without a soul or true spirit. It is like a piece of uncut jade, so there is no need to worry about the soul and body being unable to harmonize with each other."

"You only need to separate a portion of your divine soul to enter it, and you can gradually cultivate like a true Asura God who has descended to earth. Not only can you cultivate Qi, but you can also cultivate the God-Devil Body Refining, cultivating both body and Qi simultaneously. In the future, you might even be able to transcend the tribulation of gods and become a god!"

"Second Primordial Spirit can cultivate both body and qi simultaneously?" Zhou Hao trembled in shock. "Then wouldn't I have two bodies in the future...?"

"If you can both survive the Heavenly Tribulation, you alone will be equivalent to two Heavenly Gods." Immortal Feng Yu's eyes were filled with endless longing. "This is absolutely the most perfect Second Primordial Spirit vessel that every cultivator dreams of."

Zhou Hao was overjoyed.

yes.

In particular, the Asura God possesses the noblest bloodline comparable to a celestial being transformed into a divine beast, with an aptitude far surpassing that of ordinary Asuras and Celestials.

Even without cultivating the God-Devil Body Refining, he's already almost on par with a true ancient god or demon. Once he cultivates the <Chiming Nine Heavens Map>... he'll be a true ancient god or demon!

After spending seventy years, he obtained a Second Primordial Spirit that was like that of an ancient god or demon. He made a fortune!

"Within that Asura God Embryo lies tens of thousands of years' worth of accumulated lightning vitality, as well as the essence of the flesh and blood of hundreds of thousands of Asuras... Once all of it is refined, this Asura God Body will likely be able to directly advance to the Earth Immortal of the Void Return," said Immortal Feng Yu. "You will cultivate your Second Primordial Spirit here, and I will protect you."

Even he, as the head of the Mysterious Heaven Sect and an immortal who had already Void Return Realm, couldn't help but feel envious, let alone others.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Immortal Feng Yu decided to keep Zhou Hao in the lurch immediately, intending to watch him cultivate his Second Primordial Spirit before he would feel at ease.

Brush!

The Asura God Fruit, which was twenty feet tall, appeared out of thin air.

At this moment, the divine fruit was no longer pulsating. It could be placed on the floor of the hall. Inside the divine fruit, there seemed to be a faint heartbeat, and the sound of breathing could be faintly heard.

Zhou Hao sat cross-legged in front of the Asura God Fruit, and the technique of the ' Second Primordial Spirit Secret Technique ' began to appear in his mind.

This secret technique involves self-severing of the soul, causing it to split in two.

If he fails, even though Zhou Hao's divine soul far surpasses that of Primordial Spirit Daoist, he will still lose half of his divine soul, so he must be extremely cautious.

Zhou Hao had experience cultivating the divine soul secret techniques <Soul-Shaking Art> and <Western Heavenly Dragon Zen Chant>. After carefully considering it several times, he was certain that he had a thorough understanding of this ' Second Primordial Spirit Secret Technique ' and had no more doubts.

"Here we go."

Zhou Hao nodded slightly to the sect leader Immortal Feng Yu, and then focused all his attention on the space in his Mud Pill Palace.

No updates tonight. More tomorrow.
