Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1300 What is a Nascent Soul?

At this moment, an indescribable light burst forth like the sun from the deeper depths of the Void Meditation, to a higher point that is unattainable for those who have reached the peak of the Golden Core stage!
Almost all the Dao Lords raised their heads.

Once upon a time, this was a realm that was insignificant to them, but now it seemed so unattainable that they all looked on with longing.

but
'That's not quite right.'

Among all the Dao Lords, Sword Sovereign was the most powerful, and therefore her perception was the most profound: 'These two people are different, but why are they different?'

Si Chong is different; she can understand that, after all, he became a Dao Lord purely through his own cultivation. Although she doesn't understand the principles behind it at all, that doesn't stop her from admiring him. But what about the First Saint? The First Saint is no different from her; they both use the "Other Shore," only he has gone much further.

Why is he different too?

On the other side, Lü Yang was also reflecting on his own gains. At this moment, he felt that his state was simply perfect and he was incredibly powerful.

There are three main roads in total.

The Dharma Body, Yin and Yang, and the Dao Heart that Si Chong had just attained—these three Great Daos were sent into the sea of ​​light under his control, and he could command them all!
This change even gave him the illusion that he had overeaten. Although in his hands these three Great Daos certainly wouldn't be as effective as in Si Chong's hands, at least the [Dao Heart] could be used in conjunction with the Heaven-Slaying Sword. If he were to fight the Sword Lord again this time...
After thinking about it, Lü Yang came to a conclusion:

'Winning is probably still unlikely, but it should be able to inflict more serious injuries on her. If she really fights to the death, she won't be in much better shape.'

After all, he was different from other Dao Lords.

His entire cultivation was based on the Heavenly Palace and the Heavenly Calendar, rather than on the Light Sea foundation, making him relatively easier to kill.

Just like the Buddha in the most recent past life.

【Cause and Effect】 sounds impressive, and its power is comparable to that of other Dao Lords, but it is ultimately a side path, and its immortality is far inferior.

The next second, he also looked up.

Looking up at the other shore.

There, two already majestic auras were undergoing a dramatic sublimation, forced to reveal their true nature due to their respective adversaries.

One of them is the spirit medium. In that transcendent and fearless energy, there seems to be a yin-yang diagram slowly unfolding. The yin and yang give rise to the two polarities, the two polarities give rise to the four symbols, the four symbols give rise to the eight trigrams, the eight trigrams give rise to all phenomena, and finally reflect a boundless world that is completely different from the sea of ​​light.

This is the essence of the practice of exorcising spirits.

'That's... Guanghai?'

The Daoist Master was incredulous. Looking at that lofty and majestic figure, he seemed to see all living beings and endless images in its silhouette.

This is the Si Chong of today.

He has already departed from the sea of ​​light, and his essence has transformed into the second sea of ​​light in the void. He himself is the innate Dao God of this second sea of ​​light.

Such immense power.

Beside Lü Yang, the World Honored One had already moved closer, his expression solemn: "I have also ascended to the [Other Shore], and this is definitely not the kind of power that should exist on the first level."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang looked over, and the World Honored One continued, "At this moment, even in my prime, I would have to go all out to suppress the evil spirits."

Upon hearing the Buddha's words, Lü Yang's mind immediately began to race. To put it more bluntly, even though they were both on the first level of the Other Shore, Si Chong's combat power was at the very top. Only a higher rank could suppress him? Could it be that Si Chong really had a chance of winning this time?
So here's the question: what about the First Sage?

The next instant, as if in response to Lü Yang's question, another figure gradually materialized on the other side of Si Chong's imposing figure. "That is..."

The moment he saw the figure manifested by the First Saint, Lu Yang naturally had an insight, as if he were witnessing the Great Dao himself.

What is a Nascent Soul?

Why did the concept of a Nascent Soul Dao Lord only spread after the Dao Lord reached the "Other Shore," while before that, the strongest was only at the Golden Core Perfection stage?
The answer is already obvious.

The term "Yuanying" refers to the primordial spirit, while "Ying" signifies viewing the void as the mother body and oneself as the embryo, with the sea of ​​light serving as the nourishment for growth.

The Other Shore is built within the Void of Darkness, pressing down upon the Sea of ​​Light. The Dao Lord extracts from the Sea of ​​Light, using all living beings as materials, constantly climbing the Other Shore. Isn't this essentially the process of an infant growing in the womb? The higher one climbs, the more fully formed the nascent soul becomes, until finally breaking free from the Void of Darkness—

【born】

This is the true meaning of the word "Nascent Soul" among Nascent Soul Dao Masters, and it is also the fourth path of transcendence that the First Saint opened up, unique to him!

The Road to Birth!

Upon reaching the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, one is born into transcendence!
At this moment, Sword Lord finally understood why Si Chong had been disappointed in him and the other Dao Lords, even saying that they were worthless.

Because all of them only comprehended the "Yuan" in "Nascent Soul," refined their primordial spirit, ascended to the "Other Shore," and attained a higher status, but they never truly understood the essence of "Infant." As a result, the "Other Shore" has now collapsed, and they have fallen into depravity, remaining the same as before.

They're just using "the other side" as a metaphor.

However, the First Sage was different; he was creating the "Other Shore," and what he used was merely the result.

Therefore, only he reached the seventh level of the "Other Shore".

The strongest of the other Dao Lords stopped at the fourth level. Only the Sword Lord, with the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, was able to stay at the fifth level by overcoming skill with force.

Why is this so?
Everyone started from the same point, so why is there such a big difference in the end? This is the reflection of the fundamental difference in their levels of understanding.

Si Chong called him a true Nascent Soul because only he had achieved a fundamental change, and this essence would not change due to a drop in cultivation level.

Compared to him, the other Dao Lords are nothing but stillborn children.

"No wonder Taiyi Tian was always so confident."

At this moment, although Cang Hao was a beat slow to realize, he finally understood: "This beast, even if it falls from the [Other Shore], is still unkillable!"

Because other Dao Lords entrust their primordial spirit to the [Other Shore], the place of their enlightenment, but the First Saint is different. He is a true primordial infant, with the Void as his mother. His primordial spirit naturally resides in the Void. As long as the Void is not destroyed, he will not die, unless someone can forcibly separate his primordial spirit from his body!
This alone makes him invincible from the start!
Therefore, he was in complete control from beginning to end, and even showed a strong determination to rebuild the Sea of ​​Light and recreate the Other Shore if necessary.

He would be angry at the Buddha's actions and shocked by the failure of his plans, but in the end, these were nothing more than pebbles thrown into a calm lake.

It might cause a few ripples.

But in the end, the ripples will eventually subside. A mere pebble cannot truly shake his mind; their natures are fundamentally different.

Similarly, the essence of the spirit medium was also elevated.

Having transcended the Sea of ​​Light and ascended to the True Dao Lord, his essence is now the Second Sea of ​​Light, and naturally, like the Sea of ​​Light, he will exist eternally, and from then on, he will be free from the calamity of death.

This is the true Nascent Soul.

This is the true Dao Master!
