Everyone's Immortal Cultivation: Starting from a Junior Talisman Maker

Chapter 173 Heavenly Grade Body: The Difficulty of Achieving Nascent Soul (Please Subscribe)
"Let me try to figure it out on my own again."

Yang Feng glanced at the system panel and saw the experience points required to comprehend the true meaning of a Great Dao.

He then entered the cultivation room, sat cross-legged, and extended his consciousness into his dantian. He began to use his divine sense to observe the Great Dao True Intent attached to the Immortal Golden Core, following the method taught to him by True Monarch Mingwu.

He kept his divine sense focused on the area where the flames appeared in the Great Dao True Intent, carefully observing the formation and disappearance of the flames in that area.

As he focused his attention and observed carefully for a period of time, Yang Feng, although still only vaguely understanding the true meaning of fire contained in the flames, did have a general understanding of the so-called true meaning of fire.

"You have carefully observed the formation process of the True Meaning of Fire and gained a basic understanding of it. Your experience points for True Meaning of Fire have increased by 11 and 8..."

"..."

Yang Feng watched for more than three hours straight, until he felt his divine sense could no longer withstand it and the effect of gaining experience points was getting worse and worse, at which point he stopped.

Yang Feng then opened the system panel again and found that after more than three hours of careful watching, he had only gained a little over forty experience points.

This was far less effective than listening to his master, True Lord Mingwu, explain the true meaning of fire for two hours.

At this rate, Yang Feng estimated that even if he spent ten hours a day diligently studying and comprehending the true meaning of fire, it would still take him a long time.

It would probably take nearly two hundred years to fully comprehend the first layer of the true meaning of fire.

Of course, as his spiritual cultivation improves in the future, and with the help of some spiritual medicines to enhance his comprehension, the required time should be shortened.

But obviously, Yang Feng couldn't possibly dedicate ten hours every day to studying and comprehending the true meaning of this great path.

After all, even after reaching the Golden Core realm, he will still need to dedicate a considerable amount of time to improving his cultivation in terms of technique, body, and spirit.

Therefore, even with the system panel's assistance, it would probably take him at least two hundred years to comprehend the true meaning of a great path.

However, comprehending the true meaning of a Great Dao can only increase a cultivator's chances of achieving the Nascent Soul stage by 10%.

No wonder, his master has taken in so many disciples who have achieved the Golden Core stage over the past few hundred years, yet he has only managed to cultivate one Nascent Soul cultivator.

"By the way, this time Master and several senior brothers and sisters gave me a lot of precious materials."

"Especially those fourth-tier treasures that Master gave me to improve my spiritual root aptitude and body grade. I estimate that after consuming, absorbing and digesting them all, they will further improve my five elements spiritual root aptitude and body grade."

"However, now that my cultivation has broken through to the Core Formation Realm and I have been accepted as a disciple by True Monarch Mingwu, my master has arranged a new cultivation place for me."

"I'll use these precious materials after I move to my new training ground."

After Yang Feng finished comprehending the true meaning of the Great Dao, he took out the gifts that his master and several senior brothers and sisters had given him and sorted them out.

He recalled that when he left the Heavenly Palace, Taihang Zhenren told him that Mingwu Zhenjun had arranged a new cultivation ground for him in Linghai Garden.

Let him come back and pack up. They will send someone tomorrow to pick him up and take him and his parents to Linghai Garden. Yang Feng temporarily gave up the idea of ​​immediately consuming the fourth-grade treasures given to him by Mingwu Zhenjun.

After all, it takes a considerable amount of time for these precious ingredients to be absorbed and digested.

Yang Feng wasn't in a hurry.

According to Yang Feng's understanding, Linghai Garden is a spiritual vein dojo in their Xia Kingdom, second only to the Heavenly Palace in terms of spiritual energy concentration.

It is said that the spiritual energy concentration in Linghai Garden has reached the fourth level. In their Xia Kingdom, only cultivators like Yang Feng, who have achieved the Immortal Golden Core, or the Half-Step Golden Core, or whose cultivation has reached the late stage of the True Core Realm, are qualified to live there.

……

the next day.

After Yang Feng and his parents packed their luggage, Taihang Zhenren sent a pseudo-Dan realm cultivator to pick them up and take them to Linghai Garden.

Yang Feng thought about how he had lived in the Zheng Court for decades, so after leaving the court, he decided to send a farewell message to Dean Tian Feng, as well as Li Wenying and He Qin.

After all, Master Tianfeng has been quite considerate of him and his parents in recent years.

Even though Yang Feng knew that the other party had taken a liking to him because of his potential and had only been paying special attention to him in recent years, Yang Feng still had to thank the other party for their care.

Moreover, Tianfeng Zhenren is the president of the Court of Justice. It would be somewhat inappropriate for him to leave without even saying hello.

As for Li Wenying and He Qin, Yang Feng had known them for decades, and they were among his few friends in the court.

Although he has now broken through to the Golden Core Realm and has been accepted as a disciple by True Monarch Mingwu, his status is now vastly different from before. However, Yang Feng is not the type of person who would immediately sever ties with his former friends once he becomes successful.

Moreover, Li Wenying and He Qin are both quite outstanding and have the potential to break through to the Core Formation Realm in the future. I might need to use them in the future.

After all, even Nascent Soul cultivators need to cultivate a few trustworthy people to run errands for them.

After receiving Yang Feng's farewell message, Li Wenying and He Qin learned that Yang Feng had moved to Linghai Garden and told them that if they needed any spiritual items for Core Formation when they tried to break through to the Core Formation stage, they could contact him.

The two were deeply moved when they saw the text message Yang Feng sent them, and they quickly expressed their gratitude to Yang Feng.

Since Yang Feng achieved the Immortal Golden Core, the two of them knew that there was a huge difference in their status and position compared to Yang Feng, so they did not go to congratulate him separately in the past few days.

After all, the two of them couldn't offer any particularly valuable gifts, and they were also worried that Yang Feng's attitude towards them might change after he achieved the Immortal Golden Core.

However, seeing that Yang Feng sent them a text message after leaving, and offered to help them when they tried to break through to the Core Formation stage, made the two of them even more convinced of Yang Feng's character.

This also motivated the two of them to work even harder in their cultivation.

They all hope that before they turn 120, they can improve their cultivation in all aspects to meet the conditions for achieving the True Core Realm.

After all, only when their cultivation reaches the True Core Realm will they have a chance to follow Yang Feng and go further on the path of cultivation.

Otherwise, if they themselves are not ambitious enough, for example, they may stop cultivating at the pseudo-core stage in the future.

Or they might not even reach the Pseudo-Core Formation stage, and their cultivation might stop at the late Foundation Establishment stage. In that case, as the gap between their strength and status widens, they will have less and less interaction, and their relationship will gradually fade.

Even if the other party is willing to help them out of consideration for their past acquaintance, that favor will quickly run out.

"Lord Yang, we've arrived..."

"This is the training ground that our leader arranged for you. Are you satisfied with it?"

"If you're not satisfied, there are a few other manors nearby that I can take you to see."

About half an hour later, Chi Yue, the pseudo-core cultivator who was in charge of welcoming Yang Feng, led Yang Feng and his parents to a manor covering more than ten acres and respectfully asked them questions.

"The environment here looks pretty good, let's go in and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Yang Feng looked towards the manor ahead and saw that the manor was shaded by green trees, and the trees planted there were all precious spiritual trees.

In addition, the entire manor also has ponds, medicinal herb gardens, and is rich in spiritual energy.

In addition, there were seven or eight servants and gardeners whose cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, who were standing in a row at the entrance of the manor to welcome his arrival.

The environment and facilities here are far superior to the inner courtyard residence that the court assigned to him.

"Okay." Seeing that Yang Feng was somewhat satisfied, Master Chi Yue then led Yang Feng into the manor.

"Greetings, Young Master!"

Inside the manor, several servants and gardeners tending the pond and herb garden greeted Yang Feng respectfully as he entered.

Then, the elder standing at the very front of the group, whose cultivation had reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, stepped forward and introduced himself to Yang Feng:

"Your subordinate, Hong Fu, is the steward of Yunmeng Manor. Welcome, young master, and your family to the manor. If you are satisfied with the manor, it will be your private property from now on."

"From now on, if the young master needs anything in daily life, please feel free to give me your instructions."

Upon hearing this, Yang Feng nodded to Hong Fu and said, "Yes, Butler Hong, please take me to visit and introduce me to the cultivation grounds of this manor..."

"Ok."

Upon hearing this, Hong Fu bowed to Yang Feng and then led him to the most central part of the manor, to the three-story building that covered several thousand square meters.

"Young Master, this is the reception room..."

"This is the cultivation room, and a mid-grade fourth-order spirit-gathering formation is set up inside..."

"This is a spell training room, and it's also equipped with a mid-grade fourth-order protective array..."

"..."

Hong Fu led Yang Feng on a tour of the training grounds and facilities, and he was quite satisfied with the layout.

So they stopped trying to find a place to stay and instead chose to settle down at Yunmeng Manor.

Yang Feng's parents were arranged to stay in another two-story villa in the manor.

With this, Yang Feng was finally settled in Linghai Garden.

Not long after Yang Feng settled in, other cultivators living in Linghai Garden, upon hearing the news, came to visit him with gifts.

These people all hold extremely high positions in the Xia Kingdom, and even the one with the lowest cultivation level has reached the mid-stage of the True Core Realm.

Furthermore, among these visiting cultivators were his senior brothers and sisters.

Faced with these people's visits, Yang Feng couldn't refuse, so he had to instruct his steward to prepare top-quality spiritual tea and various high-grade spiritual fruits and snacks every day and personally receive them.

After several days of this commotion, I finally had some free time.

Although entertaining these neighbors living in Linghai Garden was hard work, Yang Feng received quite a lot of congratulatory gifts these past few days.

Yang Feng estimated that the gifts he received in the past few days alone were enough to support his daily cultivation needs for the next few decades.

Of course, as a disciple of the Xia Kingdom's leader, he enjoys the privileges of a Nascent Soul seed. The annual benefits he receives from the Xia Kingdom alone mean he won't have to worry about cultivation resources in the future.

According to his senior brothers and sisters, their only task from now on is to cultivate diligently and strive to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, which would be the greatest reward for their Xia Kingdom.

After all, the biggest problem facing their Xia Kingdom right now is the lack of multiple Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to oversee it.

If their Xia Kingdom could produce one or two more Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, then even if their master, True Monarch Mingwu, passed away, they would not fear invasion from other neighboring countries.

……

During the few days he spent hosting his neighbors living nearby and several of his senior classmates, Yang Feng was also quite busy.

Taking advantage of his free time, Yang Feng gradually consumed and digested all three fourth-tier treasures given to him by his master to enhance his spiritual root aptitude, which further improved his spiritual root aptitude.

To date, Yang Feng's five elemental spiritual root aptitude has reached 85 for wood, 85 for fire, 79 for water, 85 for earth, and 79 for metal.

Yang Feng estimated that if he wanted to raise all five of his spiritual roots to the Heavenly Grade level, he would probably need to consume a lot of fourth-grade precious materials.

As for third-tier treasures, they no longer have any effect on Yang Feng's current situation.

However, among the gifts his master gave him this time, there were only three sets of low-grade fourth-order treasures to enhance his spiritual root aptitude.

Yang Feng estimated that his master probably didn't have many fourth-tier treasures like these that could enhance spiritual root aptitude.

As for the grade of his body, Yang Feng consumed a mid-grade fourth-order precious material given to him by his master.

Instead, it increased his body's energy absorption efficiency to 92%, reaching the level of a Heavenly Grade Treasure Body.

Furthermore, after Yang Feng achieved the Immortal Golden Core, he was accepted as a disciple by True Monarch Mingwu, and his status and authority have now been directly elevated to the eighth level.

Their status and authority are second only to the two Nascent Soul Realm leaders of their Xia Kingdom.

With his Level 8 access, Yang Feng can now not only access most of the ancient books in their Xia Kingdom's collection, but also purchase most of the precious resources from their Xia Kingdom's resource department at low prices.

So, during the few days that Yang Feng had free time when his neighbors came to visit, he also read a lot of information about achieving the Nascent Soul stage.

According to his research of many ancient texts, the best age for a cultivator to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and achieve the Immortal Golden Core is between 300 and 350 years old.

Once someone exceeds 350 years old, their physical functions begin to decline, and the success rate of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm will be greatly reduced.

According to his understanding, under normal circumstances, it is not difficult for a cultivator who can achieve the Immortal Golden Core to spend more than two hundred years raising their cultivation in the three aspects of Dharma, Body, and Spirit to the level of Golden Core Perfection and Third Tier Perfection, provided that resources are sufficient.

After all, cultivators who can achieve the Immortal Golden Core are extremely rare.

If one has guidance from a Nascent Soul cultivator and the entire country provides sufficient cultivation resources, it wouldn't be difficult to raise one's cultivation in the three aspects of Dharma, Body, and Spirit to the Golden Core Perfection and Third-Order Perfection levels in just over two hundred years.

However, for a Golden Core cultivator to break through to the Nascent Soul realm, raising their cultivation in terms of Dharma, Body, and Spirit to the Golden Core realm perfection and the third-order perfection level is only the most basic requirement.

It is said that in order for a Golden Core cultivator to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul realm, in addition to undergoing the process of shattering the core and transforming it into a nascent soul, they also need to undergo four tribulations of heavenly lightning.

These two trials, if a cultivator only raises their cultivation in the three aspects of Dharma, Body, and Spirit to the Golden Core Realm Perfection and the Third Stage Perfection, it is said that their success rate is less than 30%.

In particular, the four heavenly tribulations are said to be extremely powerful, and even cultivators who have broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm would find it difficult to withstand them without the aid of external objects.

Therefore, if one wants to increase the chances of achieving the Nascent Soul stage, one must find another way.

For example, collecting some spiritual items for Nascent Soul formation can reduce the difficulty of breaking the Core and transforming into a Nascent Soul to a certain extent, thereby increasing the chances of forming a Nascent Soul by 10% or 20%.

Alternatively, one could refine various natal magic treasures that could weaken or resist heavenly tribulations, thereby increasing the chances of achieving Nascent Soul formation by one or two percent.

In addition, if one can comprehend two or three of the true meanings of the Great Dao and enhance one's own strength, it can also increase the chances of reaching the Nascent Soul stage by another 20% to 30%.

With this accumulation of factors, when a cultivator's chances of forming a Nascent Soul reach 80% or 90% or higher, they will have a relatively high chance of successfully forming a Nascent Soul.

Otherwise, if a cultivator attempting to form a Nascent Soul only has a 50-60% chance of success, they will most likely fail.
