Chapter 465: 149 Age Dao Method, Celestial Immortal Body Refinement Technique (10K Monthly Tickets Requested) _1
Looking again at the other information on the proficiency panel, Su Yu’s eyes slightly hardened.
[Name: Su Yu.]
[Cultivation: Core Formation Realm, Fifth Level.]
[Lifespan: 174/1105 years.]
[Cultivation Technique: Five Elements Method (Core Formation Realm, fifth level, proficiency: 51.33%), Crocodile Demon’s 108 Techniques of Body Refinement (24th technique, proficiency: 48.79%), Blood Whale Swallowing the Moon Technique (third realm, proficiency: 60%)… Golden Cicada Technique (third level, proficiency: 93.17%).]
[Spells: Wood Vine Method (Perfect)…Yin and Yang Escape Technique (Perfect).]
“The proficiency of the Five Elements Method is already over fifty, and the twenty-fourth technique of Body Refinement is at forty-eight, equivalent to the sixth level of the Core Formation Realm.” Su Yu mumbled.
Not to mention the Golden Cicada Technique, his spiritual consciousness had already reached the equivalent of the ninth level of Core Formation realm.
With a proficiency of over ninety percent, he was about to break through to the fourth level.
“At the fourth level of the Golden Cicada Technique, I wonder if my spiritual consciousness can undergo metamorphosis?” Su Yu pondered.
He dared not dream of a spiritual consciousness as powerful as the Nascent Soul Realm, but if it could compare to the rumored quasi-infant realm, it would be sufficient.
The so-called quasi-infant realm referred to in the rumors has to do with spiritual consciousness.
Breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm transforms the true elixir or golden core within the body into a state resembling a fetus, known as the Taoist fetus, where the spiritual consciousness and mana become one. The quasi-infant realm, however, is when a virtual Taoist fetus is condensed at the peak of the Core Formation Realm.
It’s regarded as a special state before breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm, where the spiritual consciousness begins its initial transformation.
This is not the same as the quasi-elixer realm.
In the quasi-elixer realm, cultivators who have no hope of breaking through the Core Formation Realm, with the help of special methods and elixir, condense a fake ‘True Elixir’ within their bodies.
Once a fake elixir is condensed, they will never be able to break through the Core Formation Realm.
So compared to the quasi-elixer realm, there are very few in the quasi-infant realm. Once one steps into the quasi-infant realm, the probability of truly transforming into a Nascent Soul is not small.
Very few people can resist the temptation to transform into a true Nascent Soul and choose to stay in the quasi-infant realm immovably.
Currently, Su Yu’s cultivation is far from the so-called quasi-infant realm.
However, if the Golden Cicada Technique advances another step, his spiritual consciousness will undergo further transformation. Perhaps, his spiritual consciousness will be comparable to those experts who have stepped into the special state of the quasi-infant realm.
The half-step in between, the peak of the Core Formation Realm and the quasi-infant realm, is an insurmountable chasm.
Just like gap between different levels of life.
“The breakthrough of the Golden Cicada Technique will take some time. The Five Elements Method should only need another eight years to achieve perfection and rise to the sixth level of the Core Formation Realm. Body Refinement will probably need another nine to ten years.”
“Exhale.”
Having finished today’s daily cultivation in the cave, and with a small improvement in the proficiency of different cultivation techniques, Su Yu expelled a hot breath and stepped out of the cave.
Just as he arrived at the fenced courtyard of his mentor, Taoist Tianyu, who was rarely not contemplating formations today but instead, wielded a top-grade magic artifact hoe, weeding the spirit rice fields in the backyard.
The weed that grows in high-quality spirit fields is particularly hard to remove. The toughness of the weeds in Taoist Tianyu’s backyard was comparable to mid-tier magic artifacts.
It would be somewhat difficult for an ordinary Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator to weed them.
But Taoist Tianyu, wielding his self-forged top-grade magic artifact hoe, could uproot the weeds with each jab.
“Master.”
Su Yu approached the edge of the spirit field and started to pull up the weeds from Taoist Tianyu’s hand.
Taoist Tianyu looked up at the scorching sun, wiped the nonexistent sweat, then sat under the shade of a several meters high spirit plant nearby.
While eating a chilled spirit fruit he had pulled out from his ring artifact, he watched Su Yu weeding and said, “The Grand Taoist Convention of the eighteen peaks of our Immortal Gate is about to begin in a few days, do you want to participate?”
Su Yu, without turning his head and still busy working, said, “Is our Great Foolish Peak one of the eighteen peaks?”
“Um, no.” Taoist Tianyu choked, squinted and bit into the icy spirit fruit again. The juice, sweet and chilled, flowed straight into his chest making him sigh with contentment.
Comfortable.
Having a disciple is quite good.
At least, under this scorching sun, he doesn’t have to toil over the spirit fields.
Taoist Tianyu continued, “Although our Great Foolish Peak is not one of the eighteen peaks, if you want to participate, you can directly enter the final round of the Grand Taoist Convention of the eighteen peaks.”
“With your cultivation strength, you might even be able to place within the top fifty.”
“Along the way, you can also temper yourself.”
Su Yu shook his head, “Then, I’ll stay on Great Foolish Peak and practice formations. I’m not very familiar with the combined formations I’ve just comprehended. I’ll work harder and try to study the third-order top-grade formation with you in a couple of years.”
Hearing this, Taoist Tianyu shook his head, finished the spirit fruit in his hand in a few bites, and looking at Su Yu, he said, “You’re really a homebody. Although I don’t get out much now, when I was young, I walked through all eighteen peaks. That was the grand event of the Grand Tao Convention.”
“After challenging a number of geniuses, I had almost beaten half of the people in the Immortal Gate to the point where they were afraid to go out—”
“Unlike you, there probably aren’t many people in the sect who are even aware of your existence.”
Hearing this, Su Yu turned around and looked at Taoist Tianyu, saying, “You are wrong about this, Master. Taixu is now well-known throughout the Immortal Gate. Particularly among the female disciples, which one of them has not been taken advantage of for elixir by him?”
“Now, our Great Foolish Peak has a louder name than before.”
