Chapter 320: Going to the Upper Realm (1)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
With the special Nascent Soul of the Innate Spirit, Lu Yuan felt that his future cultivation could almost take the fast track.
In the early stages of cultivation, having multiple spiritual roots made cultivation a slow process and it was difficult to break through. However, after reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, the losses suffered in the early stages would become a guarantee for later cultivation.
It was a typical late-stage cultivation method.
If not for the system, Lu Yuan would not have dared to choose such an exaggerated cultivation direction.
After all, one had to guarantee one could reach the later stages before even thinking about it.
For many cultivators with limited talent and resources, it was already considered a success to be able to complete the breakthrough before their lifespan was exhausted.
If they were to copy Lu Yuan’s cultivation route, they might not even be able to reach the Core Formation stage, let alone the Nascent Soul stage.
After all, Lu Yuan knew very well how much he had paid to cultivate the nine-patterned golden core through the way of the heavens.
Not only did he have to cultivate each spiritual root separately, but he also had to find the best opportunity to condense the spiritual roots. Only then could he ensure that he could cultivate his spiritual roots through the way of the heavens.
However, others did not have a system. Even if they successfully cultivated nine spiritual roots, how many of those spiritual roots would be through the way of the heavens was largely unknown.
The benefits were great, but the risks were even greater.
Only someone with a hack like him could play such extreme moves.
As for his Nascent Soul and his future cultivation direction, Lu Yuan had a rough idea.
With the characteristics of his Lesser Celestial Eradication Sword Array, where he should go to better improve his cultivation was a no-thinker.
In the entire Upper Realm, there was no place more suitable for him than the Spirit Sword Sect.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan felt that it was almost time for him to go to the Upper Realm.
Counting the time, the thousand-year battle between the Spirit Sword Sect and the Stellar Moon Cave should be coming to an end soon.
With this thought in mind, Lu Yuan silently returned to the Qingyun Sect.
Before he reached his residence, he saw two huge Shapeshifters attacking each other.
On one side was a huge four-tailed silver fox, and on the other side was a huge sword tomb.
These two Dharma Idols were obviously not simple.
The nine-tailed silver fox was the exclusive bloodline of the Qingqiu clan. According to the density of the bloodline, the number of tails that the Dharma Idol could manifest would also be different.
For example, Xu Ziyu and Xu Zile from before. Although the two of them only had the strength of the Nascent Soul Stage now, which meant four demon tails, they also had two demon tails that symbolized their potential when they displayed their true demon bodies.
This also meant that as long as the two of them cultivated as usual, they would be able to reach the level of a six-tailed fox.
Such potential was already considered pretty good in the entire Stellar Moon Cave.
A seven-tailed silver fox was already considered a top prodigy in the Stellar Moon Cave, already having the potential to become the future sect leader.
As for an eight-tailed silver fox, it was comparable to atavism.
In the entire history of the Star-Moon Cave, there had not been many monstrous geniuses that had the potential to become eight-tailed silver foxes.
This was because having eight tails corresponded to the Earth Deity tier.
Currently, the demon true body that had appeared in the Qingyun Sect possessed four demon tails and four illusory tails.
Those eight tails meant that this was an existence destined to transcend the tribulation and become an immortal.
As for the owner of this demon body, Lu Yuan was no stranger to her. It was Meng Ruyan.
Although Meng Ruyan’s demon true body was extraordinary, the sword tomb opposite her was also extraordinary.
The huge sword tomb was actually a blood-colored sword graveyard.
On the graveyard, there was a blood-colored Bodhisattva with thousands of arms, whose upper body was exposed outside the sword tomb.
Every time the Bodhisattva attacked, it would lead the broken swords in the sword tomb to attack the silver fox. Its power was shocking.
Lu Yuan could sense that the blood-colored Bodhisattva was one with the sword tomb it was buried in. It was a compound type of Shapeshifting.
He himself had a composite type of Shapeshifting, so he knew very well how terrifying the power of such Shapeshifting was and how difficult it was to cultivate.
Not to mention that Bodhisattva was a Dharma Idol with a very high status among Buddhist Sect cultivators.
To be able to fuse the Bodhisattva with the blood-colored sword tomb meant that the sword tomb was a Dharma Idol that was not weaker than the Bodhisattva.
When the two were added together, it was naturally as simple as one plus one equals two, but instead a geometric increase.
And the person who cast this blood-colored sword tomb was also Lu Yuan’s old acquaintance, or rather, his old lover, Xu Wan’er.
The strength that the two of them displayed at this moment already seemed invincible among those of the same level.
The Nascent Soul Stage was not only a stage where cultivators underwent a qualitative change, but it was also a division point that widened the gap between geniuses and ordinary people.
Relying on the strength of the Dharma Idol, although the cultivation of these two was only at tier 1 of the Nascent Soul Stage, the combat strength they displayed was comparable to tier 4 of the Nascent Soul Stage.
This was also the reason why the two of them were able to participate in this thousand-year battle.
Lu Yuan observed for a moment. Xu Wan’er’s blood-colored sword tomb not only had shocking killing power, but it also seemed to have a certain degree of divine soul attack. Sanskrit chants sounded everywhere.
Meng Ruyan’s demon true body was equally powerful. Each of her four demon tails had a special attribute. As for the remaining four illusory tails, although they didn’t have any special attributes, they gave her a terrifying recovery ability and outstanding perception.
In this aspect, Meng Ruyan’s eight-tailed silver fox Dharma Idol was comparable to a low-level Innate Spirit.
Lu Yuan felt that if her Dharma Idol could evolve to have nine tails, then her perception of laws might not be much weaker than his..
