Chapter 179: The Reason for Maintaining the Soul Body State
Participate... in the Alliance's martial arts competition later?
After a moment of daze, Meng Xuan gently shook her head: "Senior Yuan Jun is joking."
The martial arts competition is approaching. Even if she walks the cultivation path again, she will likely only be able to advance to the Foundation Establishment level during the competition.
If she were to participate in a Foundation Establishment level martial arts competition, that would purely be bullying others.
What's more, using the time for the martial arts competition for cultivation would allow her cultivation progress to be even faster.
"Leaving aside the inconvenience of my identity, the Alliance's Foundation Establishment level martial arts competition requires participants to be under twenty-five."
After all, the purpose of the martial arts competition is to showcase the younger generation of the Alliance.
"Our predecessors paved the way, but those who came after were not without accomplishments either," Yuan Jun said softly.
Predecessors walked alone, opening up the path.
But every successor who walked it made this 'path' wider and more solid.
The current Human Clan cultivation System is already vastly different from the one everyone walked back then...
"Fellow Daoist Mengxuan, if you want to gain a direct understanding of the current cultivation System, you should look more at the younger generation of today."
Meng Xuan was thoughtful.
Just now, she had only thought it was Yuan Jun's momentary whim.
But hearing the meaning of these words now, this should be more than just what she had thought earlier.
"As for your identity, just let Yuan arrange one. As for your age..." Yuan Jun chuckled lightly, "When Dao Brother severed the impurities of your previous body, he also severed those long years along with it."
The current Meng Xuan is equivalent to someone who has just been born for half a day. Otherwise, how could she be called 'newborn'?
"At that time, I will conceal it for you."
This sentence was the key point.
Otherwise, it would be a bit too ridiculous if Meng Xuan was tested as a 'newborn' when participating in the martial arts competition.
"What do you think, Dao Brother?"
"Indeed, this kind of opportunity should not be missed," Xu Xing nodded slightly. "If you feel it's unfair to those juniors, you can just forfeit at the end."
The Great Dao is like a mountain. Too many cultivators are too hasty during the process of climbing the mountain, so much so that when they reach the peak, they no longer have the strength to ascend to the cloud-capped summit.
In the past, one needed to rush, but now there is no need.
How precious is the opportunity to start over in a pure state? One really shouldn't miss the scenery along the way.
Hearing both of them say this, Meng Xuan finally made up her mind.
After all, both Sword Ancestor and Yuan Jun are people who walk ahead of her.
"Then I shall trouble Yuan Jun."
"It's a small matter, no need to be polite." A streak of spiritual light flew from Yuan Jun's fingertip and entered Meng Xuan's glabella. "This item is gifted to Fellow Daoist. When to use it, Fellow Daoist Mengxuan can decide for yourself."
Meng Xuan paused, a faint blue light flashing in her eyes before disappearing.
Immediately, a translucent light blue panel appeared before her eyes, with several lines of text on it.
【Concealed Form Hidden Spirit System 1.0】
【Current Apparent Age: 0 (Adjustable)】
【Current Apparent Realm: Qi Training Seventh Layer (Adjustable)】
【Appearance Adjustable】
At the bottom was her body model, with detailed parameters for everything from facial features to physique, and even soul aura, allowing her to adjust them freely.
"This item can be used by Fellow Daoist until the Returning Void Realm. Consider it a small gift from me to celebrate Fellow Daoist's new life. May Fellow Daoist's path be smooth."
...
"Thank you, Yuan Jun."
"Then I'll give something as well, consider it a gift for Fellow Daoist Mengxuan's new life," Xu Xing also said.
Yuan Jun directly created a System by hand. He felt he should also show some gesture.
Without giving Meng Xuan a chance to speak, a similar streak of spiritual light, crimson red, appeared as if placing a small red mole on Meng Xuan's fair forehead.
These were a few drops of Cang Clan blood obtained earlier, which he had specially processed, leaving only pure and vast vitality.
"My gift is not as good as Yuan Jun's, but before the Returning Void, if Fellow Daoist is injured, you can mobilize the sealed vitality within it for healing."
Assisting cultivation, enhancing comprehension – these effects were meaningless to Meng Xuan.
Even the vast vitality sealed within it didn't have that great an effect.
A Cave True existence who once knocked on the Immortal Gate is cultivating again. There really aren't many things she can use.
"Thank you, Sword Ancestor."
But Meng Xuan still thanked him solemnly.
The next morning.
After a night of effort by numerous cultivators, most of the bustling underwater city was decorated.
Moreover, looking up, amidst the surging clouds and mist, a Mystic Realm Gate, as pure blue as if washed, faintly appeared.
The gate was entirely condensed from the essence of the deep sea, with patterns on it as brilliant as the Milky Way, flowing with soft radiance and emitting a refreshing, cool spiritual energy.
Inside the gate was a completely different world. The seawater spread out like silk, shimmering with light, reflecting the colorful flowing clouds in the sky.
Nearly ten thousand 'Prism' Model 1 Mystic Realm Opening Instruments were spread throughout every corner of the entire Mystic Realm, constantly emitting strange vibrations, reinforcing the spatial structure within the Mystic Realm.
Array patterns flickered on the sea surface, and cultivators flew out from them, carrying various spiritual materials and building materials to construct a venue for the martial arts competition on the sea surface.
And at this moment, inside Yuan's grand hall.
A green jade quietly floated, its radiant light illuminating Yuan's soul body.
He could completely transform into a normal human appearance, but at this moment, he only wanted to maintain this state.
"Yuan, so this is how you are now..."
Meng Xuan saw his state. After being surprised, she showed a look of sudden realization.
"Senior is making fun of me," Yuan said with a wry smile.
Early in the morning, Old friend brought Senior Yuan Jun and Meng Xuan Senior over and explained everything that happened yesterday to him.
Tian's return, Xuan's action, and Gu being severely injured by the unleashed power at the end.
In just one day yesterday, the Ancestors of Cang Race who had taken action in this city were almost enough to make up a table for mahjong.
Simply outrageous!
Fortunately, they were finally stopped by Old friend and Senior Yuan Jun.
"May I ask what Meng Xuan Senior plans to do next?"
He already knew that Meng Xuan had lost all her cultivation and become a Mortal...
No!
Now she is already at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.
"Today, I will first complete the Cailian Method cultivation and Foundation Establishment."
Today, I will first complete the Cailian Method cultivation and Foundation Establishment...
Good heavens!
It's simply like playing.
Although he knew this was normal, he still felt it was quite outrageous when he heard it.
Yuan couldn't help but mutter inwardly.
"After that, I want to participate in the Alliance's martial arts competition."
"Ah?!"
What?
Participate in the martial arts competition?
You?!
Are you going up to hit babies?
"It's a rare opportunity to walk the cultivation path again, so I want to go as slowly as possible," Meng Xuan explained. "I know this is a bit unfair, so I will forfeit at the end."
Walking slowly, only to go further.
She now has encounters that most Dao Friends do not. If she doesn't seize this opportunity well, she will have greatly failed Sword Ancestor and Yuan Jun's painstaking efforts.
"Identity is naturally not a problem, but the Alliance requires participants to be under twenty-five..."
The Righteous Path Alliance's detection methods are very advanced.
Suddenly, he glanced at Xu Xing and Yuan Jun beside him.
"Emm... no problem."
With these two great immortals, treating the Alliance's detection methods as mere decorations is not a problem.
"Yuan!" A clear voice sounded.
Then he saw a short-haired woman walking in from outside.
Being able to freely enter and exit the current grand hall, this person was naturally Yuan's long-time companion - Ming Yu!
She was also the main reason Yuan had been maintaining his soul body state.
