A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 220

Chapter 216 Should we return to our original form?

“My private agreement with Barbarian Beard is to reunite in over forty years.”

“When we reunite, we must prepare to deal with Feng Xi.”

“If I return my wind-attribute Nascent Soul to my original body and disperse it, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance my original body’s potential, bringing immense benefits. However, facing Feng Xi, if I use my original body to perform wind escape, the effect will be greatly reduced, and I might not be able to catch up with the philanthropist who is determined to escape.”

“Furthermore, re-condensing the Nascent Soul and restoring my current cultivation level will take time…”

Even with the assistance of the top-grade spiritual veins of Biling Island, where one year is equivalent to several years in the outside world, there will still be losses and delays in between.

“In over forty years, with my original body’s aptitude, can I truly reach the peak of the early Nascent Soul stage quickly after re-forming the Nascent Soul and forcibly break through the bottleneck to enter the mid-Nascent Soul stage?”

The bottleneck of my original body’s pseudo-spiritual root is much greater than the bottleneck of my wind soul body.

This is an “innate disadvantage” that even the Heaven-Mending Pill cannot change.

“Most importantly, now that my wind-attribute Nascent Soul has returned to its original form, can I raise my cultivation to the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage before the Fallen Demon Valley?”

Stroking a pill formula called “Creation Pill,” Han Li fell into deep thought.

The Creation Pill, a rare treasure nurtured within the Fallen Demon Valley, is refined primarily from the Spirit Candle Fruit.

After consumption, it provides a profound stimulation to one’s consciousness, plunging one into a fantastical realm to experience the mysteries of the next stage.

It is effective for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage,

with the most significant effect on those in the Core Formation stage.

Zi Ling, in the mid-Core Formation stage, absorbed it with her three spiritual roots and even comprehended the Nascent Soul realm, making her advancement to the Nascent Soul stage a natural progression. The effect is almost comparable to rebuilding one’s Nascent Soul after it dissipates.

Taking it in the early Nascent Soul stage helps one break through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Taking it at the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage allows one to leap into the late Nascent Soul stage and become a great cultivator—that’s entirely possible.

The formula was a gift from Song Yu.

The Creation Pill has three limitations:

First, it is ineffective against Nascent Soul cultivators. Second, the Spirit Candle Fruit cannot be stored for long after harvesting; once the Creation Pill is refined, it must be consumed as soon as possible, otherwise its medicinal effects will quickly dissipate. Third, a person can only consume the Creation Pill once in their lifetime!

Once this opportunity is missed, it’s gone forever.

“If I cannot use the opportunity of Fallen Demon Valley to advance to the late Nascent Soul stage, I will have no choice but to grit my teeth and participate in the Kunwu Mountain incident and the subsequent Small Extreme Palace instance at a mid-Nascent Soul level.”

The difference between participating in the Kunwu Mountain instance with mid-Nascent Soul cultivation and participating with post-Nascent Soul cultivation is like heaven and earth.

After all, more than ten post-Nascent Soul cultivators have perished there!

Two members of the Ye family, the Ancient Demon Lord Soul, the four demons of Kunwu Mountain, the Yinluo Sect’s Old Demon Qian, the righteous Xuan Qingzi, the demonic Seven Wonders True Man, and the Grassland Xu Great Immortal Master.

A total of eleven great cultivators have clearly died.

In addition, more than twenty other early and mid-Nascent Soul cultivators have also died openly.

How many more have died in secret?

Even Xiang Zhili, a Nascent Soul cultivator, was completely outmaneuvered.

This is arguably the most dangerous instance in the mortal realm!

Participating with the cultivation of a Nascent Soul cultivator would undoubtedly be much safer.

Furthermore, before this, the Yin-Yang Cave instance, one of the most perilous places in the Great Jin Dynasty, allows those with Nascent Soul cultivation to relatively easily obtain Yin-Yang Horses to refine Nascent Soul Pills. Thus, they can use the Nascent Soul Pills to strengthen their Nascent Souls first, further enhancing their strength before venturing into Kunwu Mountain.

In short,

the Creation Pill must be used to its fullest potential.

The trip to the Fallen Demon Valley is of great importance and far-reaching impact.

“With the talent of the Wind Spirit Root, the cultivation speed is faster than the original body, and the bottlenecks are smaller…”

“If I first break through to the late Nascent Soul stage with my Wind Soul body, and then return to my original body to disperse the Nascent Soul and re-form it, the process will not encounter any bottlenecks.”

This point was demonstrated by the original owner in the Spirit Realm.

In just two or three hundred years, he recovered from the Qi Refining stage to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

His journey was unimpeded.

“Finally…”

and also the second major reason. Even

though he hadn’t yet obtained the prerequisite cultivation method, the “Ming Wang Jue,” for the Brahma Saint True Demon Art, nor the “Brahma Saint True Fragment” and the “Heaven-Supporting Demon Art,” dispersing his nascent soul at this point would result in a significant loss of energy.

If he could directly acquire the three prerequisite cultivation methods and then switch to cultivating the “Brahma Saint True Demon Art,” it would be equivalent to saving hundreds of years of arduous cultivation in the Spirit Realm. He

could even save hundreds of years of arduous cultivation time in the Human Realm.

As for personal matters?

Hadn’t he always been able to relax his mind and body once his primordial spirit returned to his physical body? And his primordial spirit’s light cluster wasn’t confined to the nascent soul.

Therefore,

a choice arose.

Should he disperse his cultivation now and gain considerable benefits,

or should he wait until after he reached the Fallen Demon Valley or even Kunwu Mountain to maximize his gains?

…

Han Li wasn’t in a hurry.

After that,

he first used the pure liquid that Yuan Yao obtained from the inner hall of the Void Heaven Palace, along with various other prepared materials, to concoct multiple portions of Mingqing Spiritual Water.

Every so often, he would use the spiritual liquid to cleanse his eyes.

This time, the eye-cleansing effect was much better.

“Indeed, it was because the liquid in Biling Island was not properly preserved, resulting in the loss of much of its medicinal properties, which led to the poor effect of the initial Mingqing Spirit Water.”

The Ice Soul Fairy was incredibly meticulous and thoughtful.

She set up mechanisms and left behind special containers to hold the concentrated essence, perfectly preserving all the essence accumulated over tens of thousands of years.

The Spirit Eye Tree produces one drop every two hundred years, and the container holds over three hundred drops.

These three hundred drops are enough to refine about three thousand portions of Mingqing Spirit Water.

And there’s no need to rush when the auxiliary materials run out; a trip back to Tiannan will allow them to exchange for more necessary materials from the Falling Cloud Sect.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye.

At the Spirit Vein’s Spirit Eye, a Spirit Eye Lake, over a hundred feet in size, condensed.

Beside the lake, three Spirit Eye Trees stood in a triangular formation.

Between the three trees, a jade palace, crafted from a container-shaped magical artifact, floated silently.

Around it, a hundred or so spirit-sealing pillars blocked the flow of spiritual energy, allowing it to enter but not leave.

Inside the suspended pavilion and palace, a Spirit Eye Jade Bed, carved from Spirit Eye Stone, sat.

On the jade bed, a figure sat cross-legged with eyes closed, surrounded by a swirling aura of pure energy.

“Plop, plop…”

A pure white rabbit hopped and skipped onto the palace, leaping to the figure’s side.

The little creature was none other than the spiritual body of the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng.

Since being released here, the little thing had been incredibly happy.

The abundance and purity of the spiritual energy here perfectly satisfied its needs.

Whenever it expended energy, a bath in the Spirit Eye Lake with the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng’s main body would restore much of its strength.

Sure enough, a drop of the ginseng’s essence had already been extracted to refine the Nine-Bend Spirit Pill! As a result, this little fellow, who had been listless for a long time, was now hopping around energetically again.

The figure on the jade bed in the Spirit Eye slowly opened its eyes.

“The Tree of Spiritual Eyes, the Jade of Spiritual Eyes, the Lake of Spiritual Eyes, plus the top-grade Spiritual Eye land on Biling Island, this place is truly suitable for Qu’er to live in…”

Grabbing the large white rabbit and placing it on his shoulder, Han Li flashed to a mine wall by the lake.

Deep within the mine, a green spirit stone had regained much of its former brilliance.

Han Li sensed it with his divine sense, and his previously anxious heart finally settled down.

“The mine really can help top-grade spirit stones recharge!”

The green spirit stone, re-embedded in the spirit mine, was indeed that top-grade spirit stone.

It was the most refined crystallization of Biling Island’s top-grade spirit vein over countless years.

Previously, in the far west of Tiannan, he had used this top-grade spirit stone to assist in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

At that time, it consumed about one-tenth of the top-grade pure spiritual energy within the stone.

More than two years ago, upon returning to Biling Island, he immediately returned this top-grade spirit stone to the location where it had first been found. After waiting for half a year, he discovered that the area could indeed help top-grade spirit stones restore their spiritual energy, but the restoration efficiency was extremely low. It would take at least three hundred years to recover the ten percent of spiritual energy lost earlier.

After much deliberation, he retrieved the top-grade spirit stones and brought them to the Spirit Eye Lake, a Spirit Eye land.

The spiritual energy flowing within the veins here had been refined by numerous Spirit Eye artifacts, making it three times better in quality.

Moreover, due to the presence of various Spirit Eye artifacts, the spiritual energy would be even more abundant and purer.

When embedded into the vein nodes here, the restoration effect was only stronger, not weaker.

He also specially placed several Spirit Eye stones around the area to assist in the process.

After two years of observation, the restoration effect was indeed much better than where the top-grade spirit stones were originally found.

Although the recharging process was still very slow, it would only take another seventy or eighty years for the pure spiritual energy lost from the top-grade spirit stones to be fully recovered. A

mere seventy or eighty years was not much for him.

…

More than ten years passed.

During this time, he returned to Meteor Island twice.

He entrusted the first three levels of the Great Evolution Technique to Gan Rushuang.

Every little bit of increase in confidence was welcome.

After all, the stronger one’s divine sense, the greater the help it would be in forming a Nascent Soul.

Gan Rushuang, who had entered the Pseudo-Nascent Soul stage over the past ten years, focused solely on mastering the Great Evolution Technique. With her superior understanding, she made rapid progress and successfully completed the first two levels.

“Judging by the time, Yuan Yao should have condensed her Nascent Soul by now…”

The accumulation of over ten years was enough for her to digest the opportunities gained from the Void Heaven Palace.

Furthermore,

the Black Flood Dragon’s transformation tribulation could arrive at any moment.

He needed to make some preparations for this sixth brother.

“How about Yuan Yao and the sixth brother advance together?”

It was unlikely that any transformed demon cultivators would come to join the fun on Meteor Island.

It would be perfect to do it together.
