Chapter 367 Li Wushou's God, Nascent Soul Formation

After saying that,

The twelve continental gods surrounding him bowed in worship.

The stars shone brightly in the sky, and the power of incense flowed like a stream towards the divine soul shadow floating above Li Wushou's head.

The verse "Food is the most important thing" murmured on the mountaintop, and the three characters "Li Wushou" between his brows burst forth with golden light.

Li Wushou focused intently on the development of the nascent soul embryo.

Within the formless cavity of the golden elixir, which had transformed into an incense burner, the nascent soul greedily absorbed the power of the incense. In no time, it had taken on a human form, about the size of a fist.

The entire process is exactly the same as a ten-month pregnancy.

The only difference is that the formless golden elixir, as the mother body, constantly supplies the essence of flesh and blood, which makes Li Wushou's nascent soul extremely different from the nascent souls of other True Monarchs, resembling a real flesh and blood infant.

Li Wushou watched this scene with a hint of excitement.

He always felt that once his nascent soul was born, it would definitely bring him some unexpected surprises.

Standing to the side, the old beggar who had sealed off the world was also amazed by this scene.

In essence, Li Wushou's methods were influenced by the Fengling Dao methods.

The essence of Fengling Dao cultivation is "devouring gods and refining immortals"!
He established a divine palace, imprisoned a "god," harnessed the power of the "god," and ultimately devoured all of the god's essence to transcend.

However, when Fenglingdao is truly cultivating, this kind of "devouring gods and refining immortals" is more about assimilation and integration than about controlling and devouring!

The reason is simple: it is meaningless to devour a "god" who is weaker than oneself, and how many "gods" who are stronger than oneself can resist the influence of a "god" on their own mind?
This is also why Fengling Dao values ​​"obsession"—by anchoring one's mind through "obsession," one can avoid getting lost as much as possible.

But even if the Sparrow Venerable has reached the Venerable Realm, how much does he resemble his former self?

In contrast, Li Wushou was different!

His "god" is enshrined on the memorial tablet, and all things in heaven and earth offer him sustenance; no one can shake him!
The spirit of this nascent soul comes from the spirit within its abdomen, and its flesh and essence come from the plundering and devouring of the formless golden elixir. Under the control of Li Wushou's mind, the two are mixed with the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, forming its current strange appearance.

In a sense, this is not so much a spiritual practice as a fusion and creation, even more mysterious than ordinary divine paths.

But this method cannot be practiced by others!
Perhaps only Li Wushou in this world could cultivate "immortality" in such a way!

His gaze swept back and forth between Li Wushou and the memorial tablet behind the incense burner several times, and the old beggar sighed softly in his heart:
Unfortunately, although the "immortal" he cultivated was not weak, he still could not bear Li Wushou's true "god".

This is both a regrettable and a good thing!
If I could really bear it, I really wouldn't know what to do!
After a sigh, the old beggar bit off three fingers, chewed them with a bitter expression, and then bowed three times to the memorial tablet inscribed with the name "Li Wushou".

A dark pattern appeared behind the memorial tablet, and a net-like pattern of incense smoke flashed by.

Li Wushou did not notice the old beggar's actions.

From the very beginning, his mind has been focused on the empty cavity of the Golden Core.

But after the old beggar bowed three times, he suddenly found that his soul was absorbing the incense offerings at a much faster pace.

The speed at which it devoured the creature caused even the devout gods of the twelve continents to be slightly flustered.

Fortunately, he obtained the Twelve Continents Gods from Wu Zhuangyuan. If he only had the previous six Gods, Li Wushou was worried that he might have drained them dry.

A quarter of an hour later, the infant inside the golden elixir cavity had grown to about a foot in size.

If we were to draw an analogy to ten months of pregnancy, it would be time for delivery.

The gods of the twelve continents had been diligently conserving their incense offerings, each having already depleted more than forty percent of their own. This was significantly higher than Li Wushou's estimate, but it relieved him, as his preparations this time had been thorough. After another short while, Li Wushou's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly shouted:
"Nascent Soul Formation!"

At the summit of Huangyuan Mountain, the incense smoke trembled, and then a baby's cry suddenly rang out from the incense table:

"Wow!"

The twelve continental gods, who were bowing in worship, all trembled, and in the next instant, one-tenth of the incense in their bodies suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, an infant crawled out from the incense smoke and sat upright on the incense table behind Li Wushou.

The divine soul shadow floating above Li Wushou's head suddenly entered the infant's body, and the three golden characters "Li Wushou" flashed across the infant's brow.

Is this a Nascent Soul?

The twelve continental gods looked at the infant on the incense table with astonishment.

I originally thought that by worshipping Li Wushou, I would be able to conjure up a god.

Although I don't understand why Li Wushou switched to cultivating the divine path, he must have had his reasons for doing so.

However, Li Wushou did not become a god at this moment, but he did refine a Nascent Soul.
However, this infant did not possess any of the aura expected of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Instead, it emitted the fluctuations of flesh and blood, making it no different from an ordinary infant.

Upon closer inspection, his features bear a striking resemblance to Li Wushou.

Rather than a nascent soul, it's more like Li Wushou gave birth to a "child".

But as the infant opened its mouth and swallowed the incense offerings of the gods, it grew to about three years old in the blink of an eye.

The gods of the twelve continents all looked on in shock. What kind of Nascent Soul was this?
This is clearly a god of pure Yang!
After the gods elevate the heavenly gods, a trace of the power of the yang gods will be born within the body of the yin gods.

By continuously refining the life star, the power of the Yang spirit within the body increases until Yin and Yang are in harmony. If there is enough incense offering, one can enter the fourth heaven.

At this point, the Yin spirit appears no different from an ordinary person, and can also be referred to as the Yang spirit.

Subsequently, the power of the Yang God continued to accumulate until the last trace of Yin God power transformed into the Yang God, becoming pure Yang throughout, with flesh and blood regenerated. This was actually the Yang God state of the God Venerable, so the God Venerable was also called the Pure Yang God!
They actually witnessed the birth of a god?

The gods were utterly horrified!
Li Wushou sensed the emotions of the gods and was somewhat speechless.

This infant was certainly not the pure yang god that the gods believed him to be.

He doesn't even have a destiny star, how could he cultivate to become a pure yang master?

This infant was indeed the nascent soul he had longed for.

However, this nascent soul has already deviated somewhat from the category of nascent soul; it possesses the characteristics of both the divine path and the immortal path!
It retains the divine characteristics of the belly god devouring incense and condensing itself, and it also grows flesh and blood, just like the primordial spirit of a god.

This is why the gods mistakenly believed it to be the pure yang god of the Divine Venerable, since neither the nascent soul nor the primordial spirit can consume incense offerings.

Li Wushou had already guessed this when he saw the Golden Elixir continuously nourishing the flesh and blood essence of the Nascent Soul embryo.

However, Li Wushou was still overjoyed when it was actually born.

Because at the very moment the nascent soul was born, Li Wushou keenly discovered that a wisp of his consciousness resided within the nascent soul's body.

This feeling was similar to the time the old beggar helped him to distract himself.

This kind of mental differentiation has always been the exclusive domain of the primordial spirit!
