It's Over, They've Got Me by the Throat

Yi Xuan was still very worried about using electromagnetic waves for communication.

Fortunately, his No. 1 Base was within the territory of the Azure Cloud Sect. Although the three Supreme Elders had long sensed these electromagnetic waves and guessed that it was Yi Xuan's doing, they did not interfere.

Shi Zhenghao was standing nearby, listened to the conversation of the other three and asked, somewhat confused, "What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Why can't I sense it?"

Shi Zhenghao's words completely confirmed Yi Xuan's guess: only those who have reached the Nascent Soul Realm can perceive the existence of electromagnetic waves. Furthermore, the attack by the Nascent Soul ancestor of the Gazing Immortal Sect earlier also showed that Nascent Soul Cultivator can locate signal transmitting and receiving devices through electromagnetic waves.

"You're still a long way off! You think this thing is so easy to sense? Those below the Nascent Soul Realm shouldn't even think about it. Don't think you're so great just because you've advanced to the Golden Core stage!"

Shi Zhenghao fears nothing and no one, but if you had to say who he fears most, it would be his master Xiao Anhe, as can be seen from the way Yi Xuan threatened him before. Another person is the old matriarch of the Azure Cloud Sect. After all, before he was expelled from the sect, the old matriarch once personally went to the brothel and dragged Shi Zhenghao off the bed while he was having sex.

This shadow will probably stay with Shi Zhenghao for the rest of his life!

Yi Xuan was also somewhat confused by the old lady's words. Why could experts at the Nascent Soul Realm sense the existence of electromagnetic waves, but those at the Golden Core Realm could not?

Xiao Anhe noticed Yi Xuan's confusion and explained, "The reason is quite simple: the Nascent Soul realm is fundamentally different from that of ordinary cultivators!"

"The difference?" Yi Xuan repeated.

"That's right! Otherwise, why do you think Golden Core cultivators are only called True Person, but Nascent Soul Cultivator can be called Ancestors? It's because as long as a cultivator can shatter their core and form a Nascent Soul, their life level will also rise the moment they become Nascent Soul. That's why Nascent Soul Ancestors were called Land Immortals in High Antiquity times!"

"So what if you've improved?" Shi Zhenghao was also drawn in by Xiao Anhe's words and asked before Yi Xuan could even speak.

Xiao Anhe did not explain, but glanced at the old lady. Seeing that the old lady nodded, he gestured for Yi Xuan and Shi Zhenghao to look at the old lady.

"Ahem, young master, since you've already advanced to the Golden Core stage, the Nascent Soul is just a matter of time. I might as well tell you all about the differences between the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and those below that Nascent Soul! Your master hasn't been at the Nascent Soul for very long, so there are some things he hasn't yet experienced!"

After speaking, the old lady took a sip of tea, glanced at the palace that was rising from the ground, and said, "Let me ask you two first, what is Nascent Soul!"

Neither Yi Xuan nor Shi Zhenghao expected the old lady to unleash such a powerful move right from the start. One was Rootless Person specializing in technology, and the other was a dashing traitor to his sect. The Supreme Elder's question truly struck at the heart of their souls.

Shi Zhenghao thought for a moment, then cautiously asked, "Isn't the Nascent Soul just the realm after the Golden Core? Is there any other explanation?"

The Supreme Elder was somewhat speechless at Shi Zhenghao's answer. You could say he was wrong, but what he said wasn't wrong either. You could say he was right, but that wasn't what the Old Master was asking about.

Looking at Yi Xuan, his expression was even worse than Shi Zhenghao's; he also looked completely bewildered.

"Sigh! I really don't know how you taught your apprentice!"

The old woman grumbled at Xiao Anhe, then explained, "The so-called Nascent Soul is simply cultivating the Primordial Spirit and manifesting as an infant!"

"Cultivating the Primordial Spirit and manifesting as an infant?"

Yi Xuan and Shi Zhenghao exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously. The explanation was indeed easy to understand and the description was quite vivid.

"We cultivators cultivate the Great Dao of the Golden Core. The so-called Great Dao of the Golden Core is about refining the Primordial Spirit. Simply put, after a formless and intangible Golden Core is refined, it is separated from the alchemy chamber by shattering the void, transforming into a luminous spiritual pill that rises to the central palace to seek its true nature and refine the Primordial Spirit. This is called 'enlightenment'!"

"And then what?" Yi Xuan asked curiously.

"After that, the Yang Spirit is refined to perfection, soaring upwards to 'see one's true nature' in the mind. Then, the room is filled with rosy light, the body turns white, and finally, a lotus platform is formed to nurture the life embryo. When the purple qi arrives, the Nascent Soul is fully nurtured and slowly emerges from the Heavenly Gate, then returns!"

Yi Xuan was completely confused by this theory, but he noticed that Shi Zhenghao next to him seemed to understand and kept nodding.

Fortunately, although the theory was somewhat vague, Yi Xuan still roughly understood its meaning.

Simply put, it means breaking through from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul. Merely improving one's cultivation level is not enough to support a cultivator in breaking through to a higher realm.

For cultivators at this level, cultivation level is like a bucket; the higher the cultivation level, the bigger and more sturdy the bucket.

No matter how sturdy it is, it's still just a bucket, still in that well, only able to hold water.

Breaking through to the Nascent Soul requires enhancing the Primordial Spirit. Only when the Primordial Spirit reaches a certain level can it be used to refine the Golden Core Primordial Spirit, ultimately shattering the core to form the Nascent Soul.

In other words, the improvement of the Primordial Spirit can also improve the cultivation level, which is like a bucket filled with water. The improved bucket is like being taken into an oil well by the Primordial Spirit and filled with oil.

Yi Xuan thought for a moment and asked with some curiosity, "So, the increase in True Essence within the Nascent Soul Realm expert isn't actually that much? It's just that their Primordial Spirit undergoes a qualitative improvement!"

"That's right!" The old woman nodded. "That's why those things you created that were invisible were detected by Nascent Soul experts!"

"Does that mean..." Yi Xuan hadn't finished speaking when he saw the old lady and Xiao Anhe nod at the same time.

Yi Xuan also understood that as the strength of cultivators above the Nascent Soul Realm increased, the strength of their Primordial Spirit would also become stronger, and their sensitivity to electromagnetic waves would become higher and higher.

"I wonder if adjusting the band and frequency will have any effect?"

Thinking of this, Yi Xuan raised his hand to the bracelet and instructed, "Begin the test, switch between different wavelengths and frequencies!"

Then he looked at his master and the old lady and said, "Master, I would like to trouble you two to continue to investigate the connection between the bracelet on my wrist and those drones! If that connection disappears, please let me know immediately!"

Unfortunately, Yi Xuan's idea was ultimately shattered. He tried countless wavelengths and frequencies, but in Xiao Anhe and the old lady's perception, the electromagnetic wave never disappeared, and even this switching did not change anything in their perception.

Finally, a helpless Yi Xuan could only mutter to himself, "Isn't this targeting a bit too much? Now I'm being held hostage!"
