Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint
Chapter 1628 - 70: Titled as Nine Profound Yin Yang Immortal!
Shangyang Inner Realm.
Two hundred steps on the heavenly ladder.
As Jiang Ning’s clear voice echoed, he sensed that his words were imprinted in the void here, destined to linger in the air.
If the next person ascends the heavenly ladder to this point, they would hear that resounding voice, and feel the encouragement from the predecessor.
Listening to countless voices merging from obscurity to clarity, his heart surged with emotion, further solidifying his determination in the pursuit of Dao.
Only now did his passionate heart slowly return to calm.
"Two hundred steps—the realm of the Primordial Spirit Immortals!"
"This means I’ve met the requirements to gather a Primordial Spirit now."
"Achieving the Primordial Spirit, in the Ancient Era, meant becoming an immortal instantly!"
As these thoughts surfaced, his confidence grew a notch.
Primordial Spirit Immortals, that was Xia Xuanyan’s realm.
He had also witnessed the action of a Primordial Spirit Immortal when Qingyuan Taoist from Qingyuan Cave Heaven confronted Prince Huaian Lu Zhan.
Even though Prince Huaian Lu Zhan had reached the Peak of First-Grade Martial Arts, with Essence Qi, Divine Soul, and Spirit integrated into Unity Realm, advancing further than he did.
Facing Qingyuan Taoist’s sword, he still returned injured.
This was not their era, yet such formidable strength was still possessed.
Thus demonstrating the might of Primordial Spirit Immortals.
Amidst these scattered thoughts, suddenly an upheaval came from the sky above, a will manifesting with it.
The will of the heavenly ladder, a product of this place, triggered by reaching the hundred steps for the first time.
The last time he reached a hundred steps, he received rewards from this place.
"Here it comes!" he murmured inwardly, raising his head towards the sky.
As the oscillation of the will descended, information from this place was instantly received in his mind.
In the next moment, his eyes slightly narrowed, showing a hint of surprise.
"Two hundred steps, such a reward!" he murmured, somewhat amazed.
Then added: "Yet it’s reasonable. When Shangyang Immortal Sect disciples reached this step, it indicated the next step was to become immortals."
He slowly closed his eyes, consuming the torrent of information in his mind.
Upon reaching two hundred steps of the heavenly ladder, there was no other choice, but a single method granted.
The method for achieving the Primordial Spirit in Shangyang Immortal Sect.
And the granted method is highly suitable.
He also didn’t doubt its authenticity.
The more he learned, the more he understood the power of Shangyang Immortal Sect.
This was in the Ancient Era, an ultimate force possessing both Heavenly Venerates and Dao Ancestors.
And Heavenly Venerates and Dao Ancestors are the highest realms among the four stages of Immortal Dao.
He had no doubt about the means of such a force.
He closed his eyes silently assimilating the inheritance he just received in his mind.
An inheritance named Yin Yang Dao Embryo.
Among all paths in the world, the path of Yin and Yang ranks supreme.
Yin Yang Dao Embryo involves gathering the purest Yin and Yang Qi in the world, forging them into an innate Dao Embryo within the Spirit Platform.
Once the Dao Embryo forms, it resembles a chaotic egg, wrapped in Yin Yang Mysterious Light externally, and holding the essence of creation internally.
Cultivators must infuse their Divine Soul into it, nurturing and refining it with Yin and Yang Qi, allowing the Divine Soul to undergo the transformations of "Harmony between Yin and Yang, Water and Fire Cohesion" within the Dao Embryo.
During this process, the Divine Soul and Yin Yang Dao Embryo gradually merge, continually purifying and uplifting, shedding all mortal impurities until the time is ripe, the Dao Embryo senses on its own, splitting open the Mystic Patterns from the inside out.
At that moment, the Divine Soul breaks free from the embryo, manifesting as the innate Primordial Spirit, with a clear and transcendent nature, able to communicate with the Heaven and Earth Laws, thus entering the realm of Primordial Spirit Immortals, achieving the foundation of Immortal Dao.
And what he just obtained is this supreme method, the method for achieving the Primordial Spirit.
By gathering the Primordial Spirit with this method, known as Nine Profound Yin Yang Immortal, the achieved Immortal Dao Foundation is supreme, thus being an Upper Immortal.
With this supreme foundation achieving the realm of Human Immortal, there’s a ten percent chance to enter the Heavenly Immortal realm, and a thirty percent chance to enter the True Immortal realm.
All these profound mysteries surfaced in his mind.
Simultaneously, the inheritance also states that he can collect Heaven and Earth Treasures containing Yin and Yang Qi from the sect’s subordinate grotto-heavens, without venturing out to struggle.
After some time, he finished assimilating what he received, slowly opening his eyes.
At this moment, Yin and Yang Qi appeared in his pupils.
Then, his eyes revealed a trace of sentiment.
A legitimate background, vastly different from a wild wandering cultivator.
Upon assimilating the information he just ingested, he realized how precious this method was.
It’s the foundation of immortality from the Nine Netherworld Tribulation Fire Great Celestial Venerable.
In the Ancient Era, a path that a Great Heavenly Venerable once walked, unreachable for ordinary cultivators.
Even with abundant fortune, obtaining this method through chance, it’s difficult to find the pure Yin and Yang Qi necessary to forge the innate Dao Embryo, allowing the Divine Soul to take residence and transform, achieving the foundation of Nine Profound Yin Yang Immortal.
But all this is well arranged in Shangyang Immortal Sect.
The sect’s subordinate grotto-heavens can collect the purest Yin and Yang Qi, without risking one’s life in adventures to claim opportunities.
"But unfortunately, times have changed, and are not the same anymore!" He sighed inwardly.
"Wait!!" He considered: "Above Yang Lake, Shangyang Cave Heaven, isn’t it the sect’s subordinate grotto-heaven?"
"And inside that grotto-heaven, beneath the surface is yin with Yin River flowing, above is yang with ten suns in the sky, the ten suns together blazing fiercely, yin and yang coupled, heaven and earth clearly divided, exactly aligned with the path of Yin and Yang; this grotto-heaven surely allows me to gather sufficient pure Yin and Yang Qi to complete the Nine Profound Transformation, achieving the supreme Dao foundation. But whether I can enter the grotto-heaven with my current spatial skills is yet to be seen."
Such thoughts arose within him.
