Chapter 907 - 404: Six Years, Journey to White Wall City

Chapter 907: Chapter 404: Six Years, Journey to White Wall City

The years flew by, and in the blink of an eye, six years had passed.

Lin Chang’an took root in the Myriad Poison Sect, maintaining his habit of low-key cultivation.

This scene did not seem unusual in the eyes of outsiders, after all, how many young Core Formation Late Stage cultivators would willingly forgo trying to advance to the Nascent Soul realm?

However, due to Lin Chang’an’s pretense of cultivating a demonic technique, some rumors had spread within the sect over these years.

The labels of ’Ascetic Elder Xiao’ and ’Demon Cultivator Elder Xiao’ had especially fixed this Elder Xiao in the minds of the sect’s cultivators as someone adept at refining corpse puppets.

[Life Span: 294/875]

[Realm: Golden Core Late Stage (68/100)]

In his cave dwelling, Lin Chang’an slowly opened his eyes, the surroundings of his cave dwelling covered in a layer of Yin-cold frost, confirming the rumors of his cultivation in a Yin-cold demonic technique.

"The speed at which a Nascent Soul divine sense refines cold flames is indeed incomparable to that during the Core Formation stage."

In addition, over the years of refining corpse puppets for the sect and leveraging his situation of cultivating a Yin-cold demonic technique, he justifiably exchanged many ice crystals and cold energies from the sect for cultivation.

This is one of the reasons for the accelerated speed of cold flame refining.

"It’s been twelve years since I left the Demon Beast Abyss."

Upon waking from seclusion, Lin Chang’an involuntarily looked towards the direction of the Demon Beast Abyss, then sighed longingly, as he had lost contact with those old acquaintances.

However, Yun Yao’s soul lamp was stable, indicating there was no danger.

"Cultivating diligently at this pace, reaching the peak of Core Formation Late Stage in about fifty years should not be difficult, but this Profound Celestial Spirit Body!"

At this moment, Lin Chang’an looked at his cultivation progress and could not help but fall into deep thought.

Reaching such a stable advancement in the Core Formation Late Stage was not only due to his talent but also to a steady supply of resources over the years.

But the Profound Celestial Spirit Body required training in the three aspects of method, body, and spirit, all to the Core Formation Late Stage.

Among the three, his divine sense had already surpassed, reaching the Nascent Soul realm, but body refining had always lagged behind due to the short cultivation time.

Body refining is different from the others; it is an arduous and resource-intensive process.

"At the age of 212, I broke through to Tier Three body refining, and at 255, I broke through to the middle stage of Tier Three. If this cultivation speed were known,

it would not fall short compared to those sect prodigies."

Now he clearly felt that despite being in the Tier Three middle stage for years, a systematic twenty years of ascetic cultivation was not pressing.

But besides increasing the chance of Nascent Soul Formation, the other effects of the Profound Celestial Spirit Body intrigued him.

"Daoist friend, is the Profound Celestial Spirit Body really as miraculous as you say?"

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but stand up and look at the hanging scroll inside the cave dwelling.

The red-robed remnant soul from the scroll let out a lazy sound, seemingly just waking from sleep.

"You can’t even think about the complete spirit body now; it’s too far for you. But if you only need to preliminarily condense the spirit body, I can responsibly tell you.

Mana circulation would be almost endless, and if you break through to the Nascent Soul realm, the self-healing body can advance to an undying body with wondrous possibilities..."

Upon hearing the spirit body’s praises once again, Lin Chang’an was speechless and waved:

"I am asking if the hidden divine techniques of the Profound Celestial Spirit Body are truly as magical as you claim?"

Once the Profound Celestial Spirit Body is formed, as per the other, his combat power would increase again. Even if not the first under Nascent Soul, it would probably not be far off.

But these known powers weren’t what tempted him; instead, it was the hidden divine techniques that stirred his interest.

"Is that all!?"

The remnant soul in the scroll was speechless; while others focused on the powerful techniques, he was fixated on the sneaky techniques, which was simply disgraceful to the ’Profound Celestial’ name.

However, Lin Chang’an’s expression remained calm as he nodded, saying:

"Daoist Friend is an ancient cultivator, naturally not lacking in various cultivation materials, but I am seeking a Nascent Soul spiritual object, so I must act with utmost caution, sparing no negligence."

Hearing these words, the red-robed remnant soul frowned slightly, seemingly recalling something but, feeling a headache, ultimately put it aside.

"Rest assured, even if it’s only the preliminary condensation of the Profound Celestial Spirit Body, the inherent hidden divine techniques will make even a Nascent Soul cultivator unable to detect anything."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang’an fell into contemplation.

It wasn’t out of timidity, but out of a readiness for the worst-case scenario.

After all, the Nascent Soul spiritual object could even tempt a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Currently, he had no backing, and though a guest elder in the Myriad Poison Sect, at the core, he was an outsider, prompting a need for precaution.

"Condensing the Profound Celestial Spirit Body would boost combat power again; even if it cannot rival a Nascent Soul, leveraging various divine techniques to escape and then hide would.

Only then could it be said he genuinely holds power comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator."

Even if this ’power’ is a chance to flee.

Yet, in thousands of years within the Immortal Cultivation Realm, how many Core Formation cultivators have fled from Nascent Soul cultivators?

Facing a Nascent Soul cultivator, his ice lotus cold flame was a trump card, but while strong, a Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn’t just stand and let him attack.

"Body refining, huh! Spiritual objects aiding a breakthrough to Tier Three Late Stage body refining are extremely rare."

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an’s gaze shifted towards the cave dwelling entrance.

In the White Wall City auction held by the Dao Protector Alliance, this spiritual object shouldn’t be lacking; even Nascent Soul Formation spiritual objects might be present.

White Wall City, named after the White Wall Sword Saint, a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator of the Southern Domain.

Three hundred years ago, the six demon sects aimed to unify the Southern Domain, resulting in countless neutral forces and loose cultivators forming the Dao Protector Alliance.
