Chapter 490: Chapter 23 Primordial Spirit Transformation
Primordial Spirit, the sixth stage of Refining Qi into God, and also the final stage.
Transforming the Spiritual Body towards the Primordial Spirit.
The Primordial Spirit and the Spiritual Body are quite similar, and the Primordial Spirit exists in the form of the Spiritual Body most of the time.
Yet, they are distinct entities.
The Spiritual Body is essentially a form prepared for the Primordial Spirit.
Wang Sheng looked at the progress bar that was still short of three percent, and a long-missed sigh of relief escaped him.
“The Primordial Spirit Stage can be said to be the biggest qualitative change in the entire realm of Refining Qi into God, and the stage where the most significant advancement occurs. If successful, I should be able to transition from interacting with the rules to utilizing the rules, entering Refining God and Returning to Void… The increase in strength is not just minimal…”
Although he didn’t show it, the True Monarch indeed exerted tremendous pressure on him.
He knew that although he had many methods, he truly wasn’t a match for the True Monarch.
But as long as he broke through to the Primordial Spirit, that might no longer be the case!
The greatest qualitative change in Refining Qi into God was not just talk.
“The effects in the Spirit World in recent years have been quite good, coupled with the stimulation, more Pure Spiritual Power will follow. Setting aside all other matters, I will focus on making the breakthrough.”
Cultivation is the foundation of all combat power.
Every breakthrough, Wang Sheng would set aside everything else, especially for this most crucial breakthrough.
Thus, Wang Sheng declared a closed-door meditation.
The Spirit World continued to operate.
Over these years, some had achieved breakthroughs, but even more had failed.
Even with the Spirit World simulating the breakthrough scenarios, success in the Spirit World couldn’t guarantee success in the real world.
The leap from Great Grandmaster to a higher realm was not like the breakthroughs below the realm of Great Grandmaster.
For example, in the realm of Qi Blood Martial Arts, from Grandmaster to Great Grandmaster, there’s a fixed process. The Spirit World can simulate this fixed process, so success in the Spirit World means no failure in the real world.
But for Great Grandmasters breaking into a higher realm, aside from a few newly discovered paths,
others had to find their own way.
This involved the Starry Sky Rules, something Wang Sheng could not perfectly simulate.
Inside the Spirit World, one could only try and eliminate some options that were bound to fail.
Once the real breakthrough occurred, no one knew what the outcome would be.
Yet still, it was possible to avoid most of the options that would lead to failure.
Therefore, the Spirit World remained the most favored place for all Martial Artists.
Every moment, there were those fighting for housing within the city; every moment, Martial Artists attempted breakthroughs.
Countless spiritual powers almost turned into spiritual fog in Wang Sheng’s eyes, floating towards several collection points within the Spirit World.
Then they were sorted by predefined programs into Pure Spiritual Power and huge amounts of miscellaneous thoughts.
Wang Sheng kept only the Pure Spiritual Power needed to maintain the operation of the Spirit World, absorbing the rest.
Progress in Inner Core Skill increased, realm progress improved.
As time passed, nearly nine months went by before Wang Sheng withdrew all consciousness from the Spirit World.
“Refining Qi into God. Reflection: 99.99%”
The slight margin left was for preparation.
“Whenever I wish, the Spiritual Body can immediately transform into the Primordial Spirit, drawing closer to the rules. However…”
Wang Sheng used the God-slaying Sword on himself.
He once again saw the imaginary dividing line.
The advancement in cultivation made the dividing line even clearer.
He had yet found no good method to erase this line.
He had ideas, but no solutions.
“This breakthrough, transforming the Spiritual Body into the Primordial Spirit, will divert all power towards the transformation. If I’m not mistaken, if left unchecked, both Qi-Blood and physical constitution will diminish.”
The emergence of the Primordial Spirit signified that the sacrifice had already begun!
But it hadn’t yet reached the most “severe” situation.
“Transforming into the Primordial Spirit, the drain on Essence Qi and Spirit won’t exceed a certain limit; therefore, as long as I’m prepared and allow the Qi-Blood to be replenished, there won’t be a problem.”
This is the fundamental reason Wang Sheng paused.
To breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit without weakening the physique and Qi-Blood, one must prepare a large amount of elixirs to replenish Qi-Blood, maintaining the balance.
“Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pills are sufficient, but it’s difficult to control the quantity; I must prepare as many as possible.”
In fact, the Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pills were slightly unsuitable for his current realm, but now, his cultivation focused most importantly on spiritual power, so he didn’t pay too much attention.
If the issue of the dividing line was resolved, the pills would certainly need to be changed, otherwise, it would hinder his own cultivation.
Of course, this wasn’t an issue he needed to consider now.
Two months flashed by. During this period, Wang Sheng had continuously prepared Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pills.
With full preparation, the figure was astonishing.
“It’s ready now, the true transformation of the Spiritual Body is about to begin!”
He entered seclusion again.
Crossing that final step.
“Refining Qi into God. Reflection: 100%”
The Spiritual Body was now fully reflected, resembling Wang Sheng’s appearance exactly.”
But this was just the beginning of the transformation into the Primordial Spirit!
As the Spiritual Body fully reflected, it naturally began transitioning to the next realm.
However, transforming into the Primordial Spirit wasn’t achieved overnight.
“Spiritual Body Primordial Spirit Transformation: 1%”
A new progress bar appeared, and it grew rapidly, representing a transitional process.
Once complete, the Spiritual Body would undergo preliminary transformation into the Primordial Spirit, entering the sixth stage.
During this growth of the progress bar.
The Inner Core Skill also began greedily extracting power.
Wang Sheng immediately felt something amiss.
“Inner Core Skill nurtures the physical body, it’s always been for situations like this, Qi-Blood power begins to decrease, physical strength starts to weaken…”
While undergoing the breakthrough, he should have been fully focused, but faced with this situation, he also had to start consuming a large amount of Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pills to maintain balance.
With substantial energy replenishment, the Qi-Blood and physical condition finally stopped deteriorating.
“With the presence of a progress bar, I strictly followed the path of Inner Core Skill, resulting in the dividing line, and now with the progress bar present, I can keep track during the advancement process, maintaining Qi-Blood…”
The progress bar changes according to his thoughts.
“Although I can’t immediately solve the problem, I see hope.”
His thoughts changed, and the progress bar transformed as well.
Perhaps the issue with the dividing line could be resolved.
However, he didn’t ponder for long, it was just a verification.
The breakthrough continued.
“Spiritual Body Primordial Spirit Transformation: 1%… Spiritual Body Primordial Spirit Transformation: 17%…”
The influx of force continuously altered the Spiritual Body.
At a certain point, the lower Dantian transformed into an alchemy cauldron once again, radiating heat, affecting the Spiritual Body.
This flame seemed to burn through the void, yet it did no harm to the spiritual body.
Like forging, the essence of the Spiritual Body underwent unprecedented changes, as if a piece of melted iron was being forged into something more suitable, easier to draw closer to the essence of heaven and earth.
Suddenly, Wang Sheng’s vision changed.
“Refining Qi into God. Primordial Spirit: 1%”
It seemed as if he had once again arrived at the origin land of rules where the Spiritual Body first appeared!
