Chapter 773: Chapter 386 Preaching
During the time designated for selecting wandering members of the Human race, Lin Yi gave priority to Cultivators at the Divinity Transformation and Refining Void Realms. These two realms served as a bridge between the former and the latter stages: upon reaching Divinity Transformation, one possesses a Primordial Spirit, which can survive independently even if the body is destroyed, while Refining Void lays the foundation for the subsequent Fusion stage.
Of course, if he discovered a Nascent Soul or Golden Core with promising potential, he wouldn’t mind giving them a bit of guidance; they wouldn’t need to visit his Cave Mansion to understand the Dao.
Previously, when he was journeying through the Demon Tribe’s territory, he didn’t step foot in all locations. It was the same with the Human race. Some cities he could tell with just one sweep of his Primordial Spirit that there were no outstanding Cultivators inside, thus eliminating the need for a visit.
Lin Yi continuously navigated through space, covering distances that regular Body Fusion Realm Cultivators would need several months or even years to cross, in practically an instant thanks to his Spatial Ability.
After ascending to the Spirit Profound Realm, he had yet to meet a single Creation Method practitioner above Qi Refinement. However, once his Primordial Spirit extended its coverage across the entire Spirit Profound Realm, he sensed the traces of practitioners of Creation Arts.
Generally, their realms were not high; the most advanced practitioner had reached the Deification Realm and was the very same Cultivator he had seen in a panicked state, wearing a simple Daoist robe, in the pre-ascension vision of an impending crisis.
This person had been imprisoned in the Elder’s Cave Mansion of the Demon Slaying Spirit City. Later, following Tai Xuan Dao Palace’s investigation of the organization, he was released. Now, he had joined the Tai Xuan Dao Palace for cultivation and had also been studied by several Great Tribulation Experts.
Through his Primordial Spirit’s investigation, Lin Yi saw what sort of blessing the person practicing the Creation Method had received upon reaching the Deification Realm.
Compared to what Lin Yi himself had received, it was entirely different. During his Golden Core stage, he had not relied solely on the Creation Method to break through realms but had instead made Golden Cores on his own, creating a new kind of blessing.
From there, he embarked on a wholly different path: Jin Dan reversal, Positive and Negative Elements, Yin-Yang Nascent Soul, and the Golden Human Infant. When it came time for refining void, it even involved splitting into three bodies, possessing Heavenly Yang Energy, Earthly Yin Energy, and the Golden Human Energy within his body, which eventually merged into the Primordial Chaos Energy and the Golden Qi of Creation.
However, within this Deification Realm practitioner of Creation Arts, there was only a single Nascent Soul. Yet, from his perception, the Nascent Soul, seemingly ordinary, actually possessed miraculous abilities.
The Nascent Soul of ordinary people typically remains within the body, and even if it can leave the body, it can’t stay in the external world for long. As for participating in battle, the Nascent Soul would only be used in extremely critical situations.
Yet, the Nascent Soul of this practitioner could manifest an ability similar to the Law of Heaven and Earth, becoming huge and wrapping the main body inside of it.
The skin of the Nascent Soul was exceptionally tough, providing strong protective capabilities for the main body.
At the time, Lin Yi couldn’t help but marvel at how fate toys with people—each Cultivator who persists, overcomes all hardships, will receive their own blessing.
Perhaps if this person cultivates to an even higher realm, his Nascent Soul could transform into a cosmic giant capable of destroying planets or even entire star systems with a single punch.
What this person received was a form of physical blessing; what Lin Yi received, however, was a blessing that allowed him to comprehend the ultimate Dao—truly, with endless blessings, each was different.
Gradually, Lin Yi finished visiting many of the Human race’s cities and arrived at the Tai Xuan Dao Palace. There, he met the practitioner of Creation Arts, who no longer displayed any panic and was cultivating peacefully. The research by the Great Tribulation Experts was merely to see if the changes brought about by the Creation Method could offer them any help.
As for switching to the practice of the Creation Method, it was too late; if they had not cultivated from Qi Refinement onwards with Creation Arts, it was impossible to obtain their own unique blessings.
He did not include this practitioner of Creation Arts in his list; each person’s blessing was different, there was no need for superfluous actions on his part.
Within the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, he met many former classmates from when they cultivated together. After all, it had only been a little over two thousand years since his ascension. Those who had reached Refining Void had four thousand years of life span.
Lin Yi selected a few exceptional classmates and then arrived at the Cultivation cave mansion of his first direct disciple, Xu Yu Rou. His friends from the Lower Realm who had ascended for Cultivation had all successfully broken through to the Refining Void Realm, enjoying a lifespan of four thousand years.
However, over three thousand years had already passed. If they were unable to reach the Fusion stage, they would have to stop advancing on the path of cultivation and face the demise of both body and Dao. If they did reach Fusion, they would have a lifespan of eight thousand years.
While he was at Liu Yun Sect, he continuously taught and enhanced Xu Yu Rou’s understanding but compared to someone with a Supreme-grade Spirit Root, there was still a considerable gap. That she had achieved what she did today was all due to her unremitting efforts.
Inside the Tai Xuan Dao Palace, Xu Yu Rou’s determination, along with abundant cultivation resources, helped her overcome the difficulties and breakthrough to the Refining Void Realm. However, reaching the Fusion stage was not so simple.
After arriving at the cave mansion, Lin Yi saw Xu Yu Rou diligently cultivating. Her Cultivation level had not yet reached the perfection of Void Refinement and it would probably be some years before she could grasp the Body Fusion Realm.
He noticed his own portrait in front of the diligent girl and couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile.
It seemed that this girl truly regarded him as her motivation on the path of cultivation.
After observing for a while, his figure vanished, and he then arrived at the cave mansions of Chen Huanyu and Master Golden Sword to conduct his examination; both were two to three hundred years older than Xu Yu Rou.
