Three Paths to Immortality
Only top-tier Nascent Soul Immortal Clans like the Ji Clan and the Flying Feather Pavilion have the ability to refine such treasures. For example, the Flying Feather Pavilion's Grotto-Heaven Spirit Treasure, the ' Flying Feather Tower,' is a treasure of comparable value.
Even with the Flying Feather Pavilion's millennia-old foundation, there are probably only two or three such treasures, which are the inherited treasures that suppress the sect's fortune.
Thinking of the Star Fragment with the huge gap, Chen Nianzhi's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. "Refining two spiritual Spirit Treasure doesn't consume much Tier 5 spirit wood and Void Gemstone, but the biggest gap is in the Star Fragment."
"However, Star Fragment are not lacking in the Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground in this world."
You mean...?
Jiang Linglong's eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't help but glance at Chen Nianzhi.
After a moment's thought, she nodded, and then said, "The Demon Spring in the Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground are all refined from Star Fragment scattered by Outer Realm Demon God."
"However, more than six hundred years have passed since the Abyssal Demon Calamity. Most of the low-level Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground, such as the Demon Cave, have been cleared away. What remains are Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground like the Black Fiend Ridge."
"This Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground is deeply entrenched, and it is guarded by an Old Devil at the Nascent Soul stage. Without the combat power of Nascent Soul Late Stage, it would be impossible to touch it."
Hearing her say that, Chen Nianzhi nodded and said, "Then let's wait and plan this matter again later."
After putting away the Star-Watching Ancient Scroll, Chen Nianzhi looked at the last ancient scroll.
The Cultivation Method recorded in this fragment is called "Heaven-Seizing Dao-Attainment Art," which can help cultivators cultivate an Acquired Dao Body.
To perform this technique, one must first find a Dao Body, then refine its bloodline and physical essence into a medicinal catalyst, and then seize the Dao Body for oneself.
That's not enough. The Dao Body obtained through theft has an unstable foundation. It is necessary to sacrifice 3,600 cultivators to nourish the Dao Body with their Essence Blood, and finally cultivate the Dao Body.
After cultivating to the point of Acquired Dao Body, one will have about 80% of the effects of the original Dao Body. However, because it is not Innate Dao Body, the foundation will still have significant flaws.
This method, while increasing a cultivator's chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul and the Nascent Soul Middle Stage stage, cannot forge Earth Dao Nascent Soul, nor can it nourish the Life-bound Spirit Treasure.
"Such a vicious forbidden technique--"
Chen Nianzhi's face turned cold. It was clear that his mother had been used by Qin Duzun as a medicinal ingredient, and her Dao Body had been taken away.
This forbidden technique is far too vicious, and it includes a method of sacrificing Human Race with blood. Clearly, it is not a method of the Purple Yin Realm, but rather more like the method of Outer Realm Demons.
No wonder the Qin Clan dared not expose it easily; if such a secret technique were revealed, even Human Race Dao Lord would likely not tolerate them.
Noticing his expression, Jiang Linglong grabbed his hand and said, "Husband, the Qin Clan has now been destroyed by you and me. This Karmic Retribution has been resolved."
"What's gone can't be brought back; you don't need to be angry anymore."
"Um!"
Upon hearing Chen Nianzhi finally dispelled her murderous intent.
He looked at the ancient scroll in his hand, his pupils flashing with a sharp light, and said, "This method is too evil; its continued existence in the world is a scourge."
"I will destroy it to prevent it from leading cultivators Evil Dao in the future."
As soon as he finished speaking, he unleashed the Solar True Fire to burn the ancient scroll.
The Solar True Fire could burn anything, and it easily set the ancient scroll ablaze.
However, as the ancient scroll burned, a dazzling golden light shone, and a page of gold foil appeared from the ashes.
"This is..."
The two men were stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at the gold foil.
This gold foil consists of only one page, its entire surface gleaming with golden light. The inscription on it is incredibly profound, as if it were a page torn from some kind of celestial book.
This greatly surprised the two of them, and they couldn't help but show a hint of astonishment and doubt.
In this world, Cultivation Practice Method are clearly categorized by level. Only Nascent Soul Cultivation Method can be called ancient scrolls, and only Pure Yang Dao Lord are qualified to write books.
Therefore, the Yuan Shen cultivation method is also known as the "Pure Yang Heavenly Book" and the "Yuan Shen Dao Book".
This kind of ' Pure Yang Heavenly Scripture ' contains profound meaning in its concise words, and contains the understanding of the Principle of heaven and earth by the Primordial Spirit Dao Lord. If one can thoroughly comprehend it, one can directly see the mysteries of heaven and earth and understand the profound secrets of the Great Dao.
Jiang Linglong glanced at it, but felt that the tattered page contained a thousand meanings in a single word, and for a moment she could not fathom its mystery.
Chen Nianzhi, however, was engrossed in it. He quietly gazed at the celestial book, and after a long while, exclaimed in amazement, "Incredible!"
It turns out that this gold foil is called "Ascension Dao-Forging Method," which should have come from a certain volume of the Pure Yang Heavenly Scripture.
Because it consists of only a single, fragmented page, its origin is unknown, but the content it records is astonishing.
This Ascension Dao-Forging Method describes the techniques used by cultivators of the Primordial Spirit to forge their Dao Body.
According to the records in the fragments, if Primordial Spirit Dao Lord cultivates this method, he can evolve a Dao Body from nothing into something.
Most importantly, this method can also cultivate the Dao Body, helping cultivators' Dao Body to continuously advance, and even records the method of transforming into Immortal Body.
After reading it, Chen Nianzhi couldn't help but say to Jiang Linglong, "I only Dao Body, but I didn't expect that there were also different levels of Immortal Body."
According to this incomplete scroll, once a cultivator reaches the Ascension-to-Immortality realm, they can use the power of Principle to reshape their Immortal Body.
However, even Immortal Body vary in strength. This kind of Immortal Body, forged with Principle, is used to make up for weaknesses and cannot be considered top-tier.
In addition, cultivators who practice Body Refining Cultivation Method, or those with exceptional Dao Body, can also choose to directly cultivate Immortal Body.
According to the description in the fragment, there are three paths for cultivators to become immortals: Dao Fruit, Principle, and Immortal Body.
Those with a Daoist heart, perseverance, and extraordinary talent can condense the Dao Fruit and become immortals.
Those with extraordinary comprehension can also comprehend the Power of Principle and become Immortal wield the Principle.
Others take a third path: forging Immortal Body in the mortal world, thus passing the Immortal Ascension Tribulation and achieving physical immortality, which then nourishes their Primordial Spirit to ascend to immortality.
These three paths are different, and although they can all make up for their shortcomings after achieving immortality, their focuses will also differ.
The Dao Fruit Immortal possessed astonishing perseverance and willpower. He forcibly condensed the Dao Fruit with his unparalleled Law Power, transforming into Undying True Immortal primordial energy flowed through the heavens without leakage. However, his weaknesses lay in the Principle and Immortal Body.
"The Law Immortal" possesses unparalleled comprehension and wields the Power of Principle heaven and earth. However, his Dao Heart and Immortal Body are somewhat lacking, and after cultivating to a high level, he is in danger of being assimilated by the Principle.
The "Immortal Body Immortal" possesses unparalleled talent, with physical strength comparable to that of Innate Divine Spirit, capable of suppressing the Nine-Heavens Stars. However, their Dao heart Principle are inferior to the former two, and after becoming an immortal, they can only follow the path of physical sainthood.
This Ascension Dao-Forging Method was torn from the last page of a certain Pure Yang Heavenly Scripture, which recorded the method of forging Immortal Body in the mortal world.
Unfortunately, this fragment is incomplete, and the creator never actually reached the final step; the so-called method for forging Immortal Body is merely speculation.
After reading it, Chen Nianzhi informed Jiang Linglong of the situation and then said, "If that's the case, most Human Race cultivators follow the path of Dao Fruit Immortal or Law Immortal."
