Chapter 797: Chapter 747: Immortal Aura?
In this world, cultivators typically fall into two categories – those who are gifted, and those who aren’t.
However, it’s the ordinary people that form the majority, while talents reign supreme due to their rarity and attract countless pursuers.
For most ungifted cultivators, no matter how hard they strive or resilient they are, numerous things are out of reach despite great sacrifices, whereas, for the gifted, these things come effortlessly.
Practice skills are precious. Even with the exchange system of the Taoist Academy, many skills remain rare, particularly those that advance to the Spirit Realm Eightfold or Ninefold.
Pei Xuanjing’s willingness to offer a completely new system of skills, which is simple for ordinary cultivators to learn and can advance to the Spirit Realm Eightfold or Ninefold, represents an unparalleled set of skills.
Under such circumstances, no one would be content with being ordinary. Before, there was no opportunity, but now that Pei Xuanjing has provided one, despite the great risks, no one would reject it.
Moreover, no one would refuse even if there were risks involved, for anyone with a brain knows that great risks often come with substantial rewards.
It must be known that among the billions of cultivators in the world, even if only one in a hundred, one in a thousand, one in ten thousand, or even one in a hundred thousand cultivators practice these skills, the price would be far less for Pei Xuanjing than the constant trial and error with his life simulator.
Even if these cultivators are not quick in practicing, Pei Xuanjing spends nearly the same amount of time, if not more, accumulating Taoyun values as he does simulating once at the cost of one hundred million Taoyun values.
“Moreover, individuals’ perspectives are limited, but collectively they are extensive. Each person’s constitution and experiences are different. The skills I have created are based on my experience and vision. Although they are generally applicable, they are not a perfect fit for everyone. Even if these people practice these skills step by step, their eventual outcomes will differ, and this diversity will also bring me great benefits.” Pei Xuanjing reflects.
Setting these thoughts and plans aside temporarily, Pei Xuanjing begins to focus on using the power of thunder to refine his own body and guides the Primordial Qi to cleanse the remaining acupoints that have not yet formed.
However, even though Pei Xuanjing’s body has not yet reached its ultimate state, and is still somewhat short of his theorized physical perfection, his current state is such that ordinary thunder power can no longer cause him much damage.
Therefore, he controls a part of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder’s power to infuse into the Thunder Ocean, enhancing the power of thunder, and then slowly refines his own body.
As Pei Xuanjing controls the thunder power to refine his body and spiritualize his physique, he simultaneously recollects the numerous martial arts skills that he has acquired in the world of the immortal sect, sorting out the mysteries, advantages, and disadvantages of various skills.
Time trickles away, and the spiritualization of Pei Xuanjing’s body gradually increases. A purple azure light flows unpredictably over his well-built and elongated physique, incessantly causing destruction and repair…
Innumerable flashes of lightning flicker as Pei Xuanjing bathes in the radiance of thunder, looking majestic and sacred like a divine being.
Suddenly, Pei Xuanjing opens his eyes, both of which are shining like electricity, seemingly piercing through the Nine Netherworld and the Green Abyss. In the blink of an eye, the divine light vanishes, as if nothing had happened.
He slightly furrows his brows, then stands up, looks down at the Thunder Ocean beneath his feet, and steps out lightly. The Thunder Ocean beneath his feet starts to converge rapidly, continuously being compressed, as if held by an invisible hand. Finally, it shrinks to the size of a palm and falls into the sleeve of Pei Xuanjing’s robe.
With a light stride, Pei Xuanjing disappears into the horizon, his destination unknown.
Meanwhile, Pang Hong practises cultivation in the place that Pei Xuanjing has prepared for him. Although he has lost his power and Taoism, he maintains his vitality at its peak with the help of the array left by Pei Xuanjing.
The Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill is flowing inside Pang Hong, attracting countless Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. This place is initially a land of natural beauty, but now, the surging Heaven and Earth Essence Qi is so dense that it seems to liquefy.
However, Pang Hong doesn’t care about all these. He fully focuses on operating the Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill, absorbing the overwhelming Heaven and Earth Essence Qi like a whale swallowing, resembling a black hole endlessly devouring Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.
The Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill guides the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi to circulate in the meridians, transforming it into Shenxiao Origin Qi. Then Pang Hong controls his vitality and slowly integrates them, constantly congealing and refining, trying to merge this vitality into one.
“It seems that he’s going to fail.”
Pei Xuanjing’s figure appears silently in this place. As the creator of the world, all the happenings in this world cannot evade nor obstruct him, let alone the array in this place which was just laid out by Pei Xuanjing.
He appears in this place without any waves or movements. His appearance out of thin air seems so natural and harmonious that it’s as if he was originally supposed to appear here.
Pei Xuanjing, who was originally refining his body with the Thunder Ocean, noticed that Pang Hong was at a crucial point in his cultivation, attempting to condense the Golden Core. He casually stopped his own cultivation, withdrew the Thunder Ocean, and appears here.
However, upon his arrival here and after detecting Pang Hong’s current state, he couldn’t help but sigh.
Pang Hong, as he is now, seems mighty and overwhelming. If it were anyone else, they would think that the process of condensing the Golden Core should be like this. However, to Pei Xuanjing, it appears more like a show without substance. Most likely, Pang Hong has failed.
As the creator of the Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill and the first cultivator to embark on the Golden Core Dao in the Daming World, added to Pei Xuanjing’s own strength and realm, he can clearly sense that the vitality within Pang Hong seems to be merging, but it lacks true integration and hasn’t produced a hint of immortal aura that should occur after condensing the Golden Core.
A Golden Core is the combination of vitality, and then the fusion into one represents the symbol of immortality.
At present, the formless Golden Core within Pang Hong seems to be perfectly integrated due to Pang Hong’s control. However, once Pang Hong lets go, if this Golden Core does not possess an immortal nature, it certainly cannot truly form and dissipate again, and it will inevitably not reunite once dispersed.
“Alas, he still falls a bit short.” A tinge of regret flashes in Pei Xuanjing’s eyes.
The fact that Pang Hong was able to reach this step is already quite impressive, but after all, he was still a bit short, and failed to induce an immortal aura in the Golden Core.
