A Mortal’s Journey to Immortality: Wang Yu’s Rebirth as the Reincarnation Dao Ancestor - Chapter 228

Chapter 224 The Butterfly Effect

“Qing’er, the final step in cultivating this Yuan Magnetic Divine Light actually requires possessing all five elements of spiritual roots!”

Ling Xiaofeng exclaimed in utter frustration.

“Possess all five elements of spiritual roots? How is that possible?”

Wen Qing’s jade-like, beautiful face suddenly changed upon hearing this.

Her tone was filled with uncertainty:

“Let alone five elements, even a pseudo-spiritual root with four elements would make it difficult to form a core in this lifetime, let alone qualify for cultivating this Yuan Magnetic Divine Light?”

“You and I only reached the late Nascent Soul stage around five hundred years old thanks to our innate talent with Heavenly Spiritual Roots, coupled with the Star Palace’s special techniques and secret arts, which qualified us to even touch this Yuan Magnetic Divine Light. Without that, we wouldn’t have achieved what we have today. With chaotic spiritual roots like those five elements, how could we possibly reach our level?”

The beautiful woman’s eyes no longer held her previous composure.

“Yes, the true essence of magic power within a pseudo-spiritual root is too impure, making it incredibly difficult to solidify the liquid true essence and condense it into a golden core.”

“Unless a large amount of high-grade spirit stones or a high-level cultivator of the same attribute and technique imparts their power to purify the magic power, even after a hundred years of refining the true essence, the purity of the magic power will still be insufficient to solidify and condense into a golden core.”

“A waste with a chaotic spiritual root can’t even form a golden core, let alone a nascent soul.” “

But the creator of the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light technique is malicious; this is the last problem he’s given. All five elements must be present. Birth, birth! Why isn’t this mentioned at all in the technique? If I had known this earlier, why would I have dragged you along and wasted these hundreds of years? Why would I have chosen this technique?”

Ling Xiaofeng said resentfully.

He wished he could tear the creator of this technique to pieces.

“Is there really no other way?”

Wen Qing frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes darting around.

After calming his emotions and regaining his handsome demeanor, the man pondered for a long time before finally speaking with a soft sigh:

“If we were to cultivate avatars of the Five Elements Spiritual Roots at the very beginning of our cultivation, using abundant resources to help them form their Core…”

“Even to the late Core Formation stage.”

The Star Palace could certainly do that.

“Once we condense our Nascent Souls and cultivate them to the mid-to-late stages, we can then reclaim the avatars of the Five Elements Spiritual Roots! If we seek perfection, we can disperse the Nascent Souls and condense new ones! We can then create a Five Elements Nascent Soul that perfectly matches the body of the Five Elements Spiritual Roots!”

“If we cultivate the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light with the Five Elements Nascent Soul, we can definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort and enter the Divine Transformation stage!”

“After reaching the Divine Transformation stage, we can simply return to our original bodies…”

This is practically a perfect closed loop!

Returning to the original body will result in some loss of vital energy, but it will not affect our cultivation.

“Even without dispersing the Nascent Soul, it’s not impossible to use a single-attribute Nascent Soul to devour that five-elemental root golden core and then control the five-elemental roots. It just requires expending a lot of cultivation to modify the body of the five-elemental root, making it more compatible with our Nascent Soul…”

(Referencing the possession of Miao He and the Ancient Demon Blood Flame)

“This…”

Using the Star Palace’s resources to cultivate a five-elemental root clone, helping it form a core, while the main body forms a Nascent Soul.

Using Nascent Soul cultivation to possess the formed core clone, dispersing cultivation to rebuild to Nascent Soul. The clone

cultivates the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light.

After reaching the Divine Transformation stage, return to the main body?

Wen Qing was completely stunned:

Is this feasible?

She began to calculate…

and Ling Xiaofeng had already given his answer, quite excitedly:

“It’s possible, definitely possible.”

“After the Nascent Soul’s baptism, the Five Elements Spiritual Roots will surely benefit greatly in terms of physique.”

“Moreover, you and I can use the Heaven-Mending Pill within the Void Heaven Cauldron to refine and optimize the spiritual roots of our clones early on…”

“The effects of the Heaven-Mending Pill, others may not know, but how could you and I not understand?”

“The clones will continuously receive various rare and precious materials to improve their physique, then receive the Heaven-Mending Pill to refine their spiritual roots, and also receive nourishment from the Nascent Soul’s dissipation of power! Even a pig would take off!”

“Unfortunately, you and I both missed it.”

Now it’s too late for cultivators who want to cultivate Five Elements Spiritual Roots.

Ling Xiaofeng clenched his fists tightly.

Then, as if remembering something, his expression turned grim.

“What’s wrong?”

Wen Qing noticed her husband’s unusual behavior and asked with concern.

“Qing’er, do you think that the ancient cultivator who created the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light ten thousand years ago might have created this technique specifically after understanding the effects of the Heaven-Mending Pill?”

The appearance of the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light is too strange.

It appeared after the Void Heaven Palace came into existence.

Ling Xiaofeng doesn’t believe there’s absolutely no connection between them.

Palace Master Ling thought even further:

“In fact, it’s not just geniuses like us with exceptional talent who can cultivate the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light and eventually reach the Nascent Soul stage by possessing the bodies of those with chaotic spiritual roots. Why can’t those cultivators with chaotic spiritual roots also achieve this by possessing the bodies of geniuses with heavenly spiritual roots like us?” “

After painstakingly establishing their foundation with the five spiritual roots, they can possess a cultivation genius and cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. At the same time, they can use their high-level cultivation to acquire resources and nurture a pseudo-spiritual root body with a lower cultivation level. Once the possessed body successfully condenses into a Nascent Soul, they can return to their original body to disperse their cultivation and condense into a Nascent Soul…”

“If the original body of the five spiritual roots forms a Nascent Soul, it can cultivate the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light!”

“Moreover, it’s the original body that attempts to reach the Nascent Soul stage!”

The person who created this technique back

then probably had ill intentions towards the cultivation world of the Star Sea. No wonder they didn’t include the cultivation elements in the technique.

This is simply a heaven-defying, fate-changing divine technique specifically prepared for useless people with pseudo-spiritual roots.

Geniuses who obtain the technique will fall into a trap.

One trap after another:

“Damn it…”

That guy definitely did it on purpose.

The more Ling Xiaofeng thought about it, the angrier he became.

If the creator of the technique were in his presence, he would tear him apart with his bare hands.

…

“How is Ling’er?”

Ling Xiaofeng, suppressing his anger, turned and asked.

“Before, we were both focused on cultivating the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light, and we neglected her training. Without much attention, her cultivation progress fell behind. She only formed her core at sixty or seventy years old, twenty or thirty years slower than us. Normally, as a genius with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, her spiritual root talent is no worse than ours, and with the resources of my Star Palace, she should have formed her core by forty at the latest.”

“Thanks to that person who kidnapped her back then, causing such a commotion, and thanks to my brother and Aunt Wan’s meddling. Thanks to these various reasons, those good-for-nothings in the palace had no choice but to ask us to come out of seclusion. Otherwise, Ling’er would probably have wasted decades or even hundreds of years of her prime.” “

At the stage when she should have been making great strides, she wasted a hundred years on meaningless things. Even if she reaches the late Nascent Soul stage in the future, her remaining lifespan will probably not be enough to break through to the Divine Transformation stage.”

“After all, she and I are not as lucky as you, my brother, and Aunt Wan…”

“The three of you can get rare spiritual medicines that can extend lifespan by two or three hundred years, while I only have longevity pills that can extend lifespan by less than sixty years.”

“Ling’er’s luck might even be worse than mine!”

The Longevity Fruit of the Void Heaven Palace usually only has a perfect harvesting period once every three secret realms. And because it is guarded by ancient ferocious beasts, at least a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator is needed to delay in order to harvest one or two fruits.

Decades ago, the Barbarian Beard and Qing Yi joined forces and obtained several mature Longevity Fruits, enough to refine a batch of Longevity Pills. The next Longevity Fruit to ripen won’t be for another six or nine hundred years.

If our daughter is unlucky, she might not live to see that time.

“Then let Jin Kui go and ask the Barbarian Beard for two Longevity Pills. It’ll make up for what we owe her.”

Ling Xiaofeng casually admired his palm, bending his right hand.

His tone was full of disdain for the Barbarian Beard.

“Would the Barbarian Beard be willing?”

“Just trade something for him. One Longevity Pill is effective anyway. What use would it be for the Barbarian Beard to have more? A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.”

“Even so, he might not be willing.”

“If he’s not willing, then let Jin Kui take them by force.”

Ling Xiaofeng said sternly.

“They won’t even trade, aren’t they disrespecting his Star Palace?

Since they don’t want face, then they shouldn’t expect anything   in return.” Wen Qing was somewhat worried.

“That rogue cultivator named Qing Yi is now with Barbarian Beard. Jin Kui might not be a match for the two of them.”   ”Let Jin Kui take my top-grade ancient treasure, the Soul Refining Gourd. Barbarian Beard and Qing Yi can’t do anything to Junior Brother Jin Kui. Also, have Lao Liu come along, so they can look after each other. That way, if those two are really unreasonable, we can just kill them.”   Giving a top-grade ancient treasure to a cultivator at the peak of the mid-Nascent Soul stage can greatly increase that person’s strength, almost making them equivalent to a Grand Cultivator.   If even a top-grade ancient treasure isn’t enough, then he’ll take out that imitation spiritual treasure.   ”Alright, I understand. I also have a top-grade ancient treasure, the Meteor Shuttle. Barbarian Beard and Qing Yi won’t be able to escape even if they want to.”   With one attack and one pursuit, the two demonic cultivators have no way to escape.   At that time, they’ll have no choice but to agree.   With these two treasures in hand, even if they encountered the Six Paths Supreme Saint and Wan Sangu, they could easily retreat.   ”By the way, I heard that the White Water Sword Sect has a Core Formation cultivator with four pseudo-spiritual roots. Back then, he was the one who rescued Yu Ling from the pursuers of the Reverse Star Alliance. However, since that incident, that person has disappeared without a trace…”   ”Oh? My Star Palace branch actually cultivated a Core Formation cultivator with four spiritual roots? What is his cultivation level? Is he at the late Core Formation stage now?”   Ling Xiaofeng became interested.   ”Just like Yu Ling, he’s at the mid-Core Formation stage.”   Wen Qing said calmly.   ”Mid-Core Formation stage? Not bad.”   The man nodded, about to let the matter drop.   Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he remembered something, turning sharply to the Scripture Pavilion that he had previously slapped down.   After rummaging through the ruins, he finally found a jade slip.   ”Found it!”   He was overjoyed to have the jade slip in his hand.   ”What is this?”   Wen Qing asked疑惑地.   ”A method to find an additional spiritual root, if used by a cultivator with four spiritual roots…”   Ling Xiaofeng’s breathing quickened, his spirits lifted.   ”You want to?”   ”Find the person!”   He must find the person!   After possessing the body, he could cultivate the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light using the possessed body. He wouldn’t even need to dissipate his existing Nascent Soul and re-condense it; he would only need to lose some cultivation to modify his physical body…   A hundred years of cultivation would be enough to return to the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage.   And he still had over three hundred years of lifespan left!   And once the possession was successful, he wouldn’t even need to dissipate the Yuan Magnetic Divine Light he had cultivated for hundreds of years! He could completely control it with a pseudo-spiritual root! The benefits were too numerous!   Therefore…   it wasn’t impossible to take the gamble!   ”There’s always a way out, there’s always a way out. Hahaha…”   Wen Qing frowned slightly upon seeing this.   He wanted to speak, but didn’t know how to persuade him.   …   Han Li was unaware of the conversation between Ling Xiaofeng and Wen Qing, unaware of the butterfly effect he had created.   He had already returned to the Starry Sky Palace via the teleportation array.   Then, he left Tianxing City directly.   They hurried to the island where the Barbarian Beard’s cave was located.   While traveling, they used their Core Formation stage identity to question several Foundation Establishment cultivators they encountered, gathering general information about the Inner Star Sea to avoid any real-time errors.   After half a month of travel, they finally arrived at the island where the Barbarian Beard and Qing Yi were currently entrenched: Fengyu Island.   Fengyu Island was only four or five hundred miles in size, located millions of miles away from the Outer Twenty-Four Star Islands.   However, the island possessed a medium-sized spiritual vein of over three hundred miles, of excellent quality, and a companion spiritual vein that could stably produce mid-grade spirit stones.   Furthermore, the seabed of Fengyu Island was rich in a precious jade material.   This jade could be used to refine Yuan Jade, a crucial material for setting up teleportation arrays.   In other words, any force that occupied Fengyu Island could make a fortune.   This was the origin of Fengyu Island’s name in earlier years.   Originally, it was occupied by a Nascent Soul stage sect called the “Evil Moon Sect.”   The sect possessed two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Demonic Path, whose strength was not to be underestimated.   However, those two Nascent Soul cultivators had been at the forefront of the battle in Tianxing City decades ago. The junior brother, at the early Nascent Soul stage, died in battle, and the Grand Elder, at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, was severely injured. This serious injury also   damaged his vital energy and caused him to lose a significant amount of lifespan. After returning, although his injuries were healed and he survived, the lost essence and lifespan could not be recovered.   Seven or eight years ago, this elder reached the end of his lifespan and passed away.   In just a few decades, the sect’s Nascent Soul cultivators either died in battle or passed away peacefully.   The key issue was that no new Nascent Soul cultivators were born.   Lacking Nascent Soul cultivators to maintain order, the Evil Moon Sect was targeted by several powerful forces and quickly collapsed.   As a result,   before other forces could even smell the blood and pounce,   Barbarian Beard and Qing Yi succeeded first.   Barbarian Beard wasn’t actually very interested in this foundation; his mind was more focused on prolonging his own life. Despite having extended his lifespan by over fifty years with the Longevity Pill, his lifespan still only had a little over a hundred years left.   Qing Yi, however, was different.   Qing Yi wanted to compete.   Accustomed to poverty, Qing Yi had long desired to be wealthy.   He had already experienced the benefits of being rich.   Having tasted the sweetness, he only wanted to keep it.   Moreover, after taking the Longevity Pill, he still had over two hundred years of lifespan remaining, during which he might encounter further extraordinary events.   Furthermore, he wouldn’t need to worry about those petty, scheming matters; those would be handled by the two disciples of the Barbarian Beard. He only needed to collect spirit stones, which made it even more in line with his interests and more necessary for him to occupy this treasure land .   The two disciples of the Barbarian Beard were equally happy with this arrangement.   Although after all their hard work, most of the profits would be divided up by these two big shots who could sit and count spirit stones without doing anything, they would also gain more benefits than before.   A richer lifespan would also be more helpful for cultivation.   They understood the underlying calculations very well.

But on that very day, four streaks of light pierced the sky.

A visiting card was sent straight to the barbarian’s cave.

“What’s going on with those people?”

“There seems to be a Nascent Soul cultivator inside?”

“Shh… keep your voice down…”
