Chapter 3527 The Difference in Bloodlines

“Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture!”

Inside the Immortal Abode, Gu Bai calmed his mind and began to comprehend the inherited cultivation technique within his sea of consciousness.

As someone who had once created his own Immortal King secret technique, his comprehension was naturally astonishing.

But even so,

Gu Bai found it difficult to truly grasp even a fraction of the profound mysteries of the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture.

He knew very well that

if he were not an ancient immortal but had just entered the Immortal King realm, even comprehending the second part of the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture would be a problem.

However,

things were different now.

Looking back at the cultivation methods of the Immortal King realm from the perspective of an ancient immortal, it naturally became much easier.

For the next period of time,

Gu Bai did not leave the Immortal Abode even for a moment, devoting all his time to cultivating the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture.

The immortal energy on the main peak of the Xuan Tian Dao Sect was extremely dense, unmatched by any lower-realm Heavenly Sect.

Under these conditions, Gu Bai’s cultivation of the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture was naturally twice as effective with half the effort.

In just a hundred years,

he had mastered the second part of the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture.

As the last wisp of immortal energy entered his body, Gu Bai opened his tightly closed eyes and then exhaled turbid air.

“What a magnificent Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture! The second part only touches upon the Immortal King realm, yet the benefits it brings are astonishing.

Compared to before, my current immortal power is at least twice as refined!”

He was shocked to notice the changes in himself.

Although his cultivation level hadn’t broken through in recent years, his strength had increased dramatically.

The reason

lay in the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture.

The more top-tier the inheritance, the greater the benefits of cultivation.

The immortal energy refined by the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture was naturally incomparable to ordinary techniques.

As a cultivator of the Heavenly Sect, Gu Bai possessed numerous inheritances, but he was only at the Immortal King level.   There was a vast gap between

Immortal King techniques

and Immortal Emperor techniques.   Moreover,   even among Immortal Emperor inheritances, the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture was a truly top-tier existence.   Even the introductory level of such a technique was incomparable to ordinary inheritances.   ”Without entering the Upper Realm, one can never truly understand its vastness. What I’ve seen and heard in the myriad universes has indeed been like a frog in a well!”   Although Gu Bai had always understood the vast difference between the myriad universes and the Upper Realm, this difference became even more pronounced after cultivating the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture.   If he had obtained the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture earlier, even without breaking through to the Ancient Immortal Realm, he was confident he could suppress ordinary Ancient Immortals.   This was the benefit of the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture.   Such a profound foundation was completely beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.   Gu Bai knew very well that the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture was definitely not common in the Upper Realm, but it was certainly not rare either.   After all, such a cultivation method was only at the Immortal Emperor level.   Above the Immortal Emperor, there were   even Half-Saints who aspired to immortality!   And in Gu Bai’s view, there should be even higher existences above Half-Saints.   After all,   one could glimpse this from the very words “Half-Saint.”   Since there were Half-Saints, then there must have been true Saints.   It’s clear that the Immortal Emperor Realm isn’t the highest realm in the Upper Realm, so the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture is destined not to be the top cultivation technique in the Upper Realm either.   After emerging from seclusion,   Gu Bai first visited other immortal abodes, only to find that his messages hadn’t received any replies. He understood that the others were still in seclusion, so he didn’t disturb them.   …   Inside the Nourishing Heart Residence.   ”Disciple greets Master!”   Gu Bai respectfully greeted him. Shen Changqing’s gaze fell on him, and he nodded almost imperceptibly.   ”Your aura is refined; it seems you’ve already grasped   the basics of the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture!” “Disciple has cultivated diligently for a hundred years, barely managing to master the second part.”   Gu Bai said modestly, truthfully.   Hearing this,   Shen Changqing smiled faintly: “To master the second part of the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture in a hundred years, even for ancient immortals, is extremely rare.   Your aptitude is much higher than your other fellow disciples, second only to Gu Qingyang, Ji Yang, and a handful of others!”   Unlike the others,   Gu Bai possessed a partially cultivated acquired demon god bloodline.   Although this acquired demonic bloodline is incomplete and cannot compare to a truly complete acquired bloodline,   the presence of it still guarantees that Gu Bai’s aptitude is significantly stronger than that of ordinary people.   If   one day he can truly cultivate a complete acquired bloodline, he will undoubtedly undergo a major transformation.   Unlike innate bloodlines and innate immortal bodies, acquired bloodlines are named as such because they can be cultivated through acquired means.   However,   the methods for cultivating such bloodlines are rare and extremely difficult.   Furthermore,   acquired bloodlines are still acquired; they may have a significant advantage before reaching the Immortal Emperor realm, but this advantage gradually diminishes after entering that realm.   To be precise,   the Immortal Emperor bloodline can, in a sense, be considered a barely acceptable acquired bloodline, but most Immortal Emperor bloodlines are weaker than normal acquired bloodlines.   If a distinction must be made, it is quite simple.   The Immortal Emperor bloodline is inherited through lineage, while the acquired bloodline is formed and developed due to various reasons.   Therefore,   the acquired bloodline is stronger than the ordinary Immortal Emperor bloodline.   However, in reality,   the effectiveness of such bloodlines diminishes significantly upon reaching the Immortal Emperor level.   The acquired Immortal Body, on the other hand, surpasses the acquired bloodline, but it too weakens upon entering the Immortal Emperor realm.   It can be said that   the Immortal Emperor realm is a watershed.   Any cultivator who reaches this level stands at the pinnacle of ordinary cultivation.   Beyond that   lies the path to immortality.   However…

Immortality is difficult to achieve.

In the endless ages of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, among billions of cultivators, only a very few have truly broken through to this level.

But regardless, Gu Bai’s ability to cultivate a fragmented acquired demonic bloodline means his talent is destined to be a notch above ordinary cultivators.

“Senior Brother Qingyang… I wonder how Senior Brother Qingyang is doing?”

Hearing Shen Changqing’s words, Gu Bai showed some curiosity.

For a hundred years,

he hadn’t seen Gu Qingyang.

In truth, Gu Bai didn’t know much about this senior brother, but since Shen Changqing now placed Gu Qingyang on par with Ji Yang, it naturally made Gu Bai want to investigate.

After all, Gu Bai already understood the unfathomable depth of that Junior Brother Ji Yang.

Although the two hadn’t fought, he could glean much from their auras alone.

That kind of powerhouse

was far beyond his current ability to contend with.

Shen Changqing said, “Gu Qingyang awakened the Innate Sword Embryo Immortal Body. Such an innate immortal body’s aptitude is unmatched by ordinary people.

However, those who truly possess such an immortal body are extremely rare throughout the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

Within the vast Xuan Tian Dao Sect, there are only three innate immortal bodies:

Gu Qingyang, Ji Yang, and Zhan Feng, who possesses the Innate Thunder God Body.”

Upon hearing this,

Gu Bai was naturally shaken.

He hadn’t expected Gu Qingyang’s aptitude to be so heaven-defying.

At this moment, Gu Bai finally understood why the other party had been able to ascend millions of years earlier.

Such aptitude was indeed unmatched by ordinary people.

Shen Changqing, observing the other’s expression, spoke again: “However, aptitude only determines the lower limit, not the upper limit.

No one knows the upper limit of each cultivator.

Some with innate immortal bodies perish along the way, while others with mortal bodies attain immortality.

Possessing top-tier aptitude only makes the path easier, but whether one can truly reach the end is difficult to determine solely by aptitude!”

“Disciple has learned much!”

Gu Bai bowed respectfully; he naturally understood the meaning behind Shen Changqing’s words.

“It’s best that you understand. Now that you have successfully cultivated the second part of the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture, you should stay here at Yangxin Residence for the next period.

Yu Ren and the others should be able to successfully cultivate the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture soon, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

At that time, I can guide them all as well, and I won’t waste time traveling back and forth,”

Shen Changqing said.   Gu Bai nodded in

agreement .   Finally, Shen Changqing added, “The Wuzhen Hall is where I usually cultivate in seclusion. You must not enter without permission. The True Fire Hall contains ninth-order immortal fire; even an Immortal Emperor could perish if touched by it.   With your current cultivation level, it’s best not to enter the True Fire Hall without authorization.   There are no other rules; you may act as you please.”   ”…Disciple understands!”   Gu Bai’s expression faltered slightly, then he nodded in agreement.   Although the vast Yangxin Residence had no other places besides the Wuzhen Hall and the True Fire Hall,   since Shen Changqing had said so, he, as the disciple, naturally couldn’t contradict him.   ”Alright, you can stay here!”   Shen Changqing flicked his sleeve, rose, and entered the True Fire Hall, his figure quickly disappearing from Gu Bai’s sight.   Seeing Shen Changqing leave, Gu Bai’s gaze fell on the stone table in front of him.   There were two jade cups on the table.   One jade cup was empty, the one Shen Changqing had just used to drink tea, while the other contained tea.   The tea was as calm as a still lake, giving one a sense of tranquility at first glance.   Gu Bai, almost unconsciously, picked up the teacup, and a subtle message immediately flooded his mind.   ”The Cleansing Heart Immortal Needle!”   ”One cup of tea to be drunk ten times!”   This message made Gu Bai realize that this was something his master had specially left for him.   Immediately,   Gu Bai took a small sip.   The tea entered his stomach.   ”Boom—”   Almost instantly, a vast and boundless immortal energy erupted from his abdomen, Gu Bai’s face flushed red, his body feeling as if it couldn’t withstand such power.   Without hesitation, he instantly used the cultivation method of the Nine Luminaries Suppressing the World Scripture to suppress this vast immortal energy with all his might.   Then…   Furthermore, numerous profound mysteries directly entered his sea of consciousness and spiritual platform, making many obscure and difficult aspects of the Nine Luminaries World-Suppressing Classic seem suddenly clear.   At that moment,   Gu Bai closed his eyes, completely abandoning external affairs, relying solely on the power of the Cleansing Heart Immortal Needle to cultivate, daring not to be distracted in the slightest.   After a long time,   the boiling immortal energy gradually subsided.   Then,   Gu Bai opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.
