Chapter 308: The Infant Spirit

Chapter 308: The Infant Spirit

Chapter 308: The Infant Spirit
On the top of Lingshan Mountain, Li Quanqing sat cross-legged on a large bluestone, listening carefully to the discussion with full concentration.

According to Zhao Qian, there are three major hurdles to break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage.

To break the elixir and become an infant, one needs to thoroughly polish one's own magical elixir to perfection, making the essence, energy and spirit one, without any omissions or flaws.

Only in this way, with the Dan Qi extremely abundant and the gold nature immortal, will it be possible to give birth to the primordial spirit baby, abandon the physical body and cross the void.

Next up is the Nascent Soul Thunder Tribulation, which is a calamity with the might of heaven that this world has specially set up for high-level cultivators.

Immortal cultivators seize the fortune of heaven and earth to nurture their own powerful spiritual power, and the same is true for the demon race.

Every Jindan Yuanying creature will consume countless essences of heaven and earth, and has a long lifespan. They only know how to take and rarely give back to heaven and earth.

When a cultivator who has attained the state of Divine Transformation ascends to heaven, it is equivalent to taking away a part of the origin of the world and eating it all up.

For this purpose, heaven and earth specially set up thunder and lightning to screen out those creatures with shallow roots, killing them and in turn nourishing other natural creatures.

As for the last level, it is the most powerful and the most difficult one to overcome.

The devil in the heart is causing trouble!

Not only is the inner demon dangerous, but it is also invisible and will often appear when a cultivator is struggling to survive a thunder tribulation and his mind is most relaxed.

There wasn't much time to react.

According to what Zhao Qian said, even if one is trapped in the illusion of the inner demon for hundreds or thousands of years, the time in the outside world is only a moment.

If you fail to break free from the illusion, no matter how powerful you are, your soul will be taken away and your body will become an empty shell.

And thus he fell.

"According to ancient texts, the so-called inner demon is a projection from the outer demon clan. It travels across infinite distances and uses the illusion of the mind to influence the real body."

"The demon is invisible, colorless and formless. He is a natural master of illusion. He loves to devour the souls of powerful creatures and lure cultivators astray."

"I, the immortal master, have always wanted to try to capture it, find out the secrets behind the inner demon calamity, and increase the probability of the cultivators forming a fetus. Unfortunately, there has not been much progress..."

When Zhao Qian said this, there was some regret on his face, and he seemed to be looking forward to uncovering the true face of such a powerful creature as the Heavenly Demon.

"The inner demon illusion..."

Li Quanqing touched Ao Qing's dragon scales that were as cold as jade, and felt a little melancholy at this moment, wondering if he could get through this.

Although his own soul is powerful, it is not too strong. Moreover, he seems to have never seen any cultivators who are proficient in illusion and their magical powers in his practice so far.

Once you are hit, there is a high probability that you will sink directly and it will be difficult to break free. Your soul and true spirit will eventually become nourishment for the growth of your inner demons.

According to Zhao Qian, these Nascent Soul sects would pay special attention to the character of their disciples when training them, and they would be exposed to various illusions from a young age in order to deal with the calamity of their inner demons.

Even so, the possibility of successfully forming a fetus is pitifully small, not to mention these ordinary Jindan cultivators who have not undergone special illusion training.

"Our human race has endless ways of changing and is proficient in the way of creation. Even if the inner demon is powerful, there should be many ways to deal with it..."

A Jindan Zhenren came to ask for advice. He was also from a humble background and had never heard of this. He was inevitably a little upset at the moment because of the difficulty of his inner demons, and his words sounded a little urgent.

"Of course there are. Some spiritual treasures, magical powers, and elixirs have the effect of counteracting inner demons, such as the glass relics of Buddhism and Taoism, the Taixiao Mingshen Mantra, and the Demon-Breaking Pill, etc."

"Unfortunately, the effect is only average, better than nothing, and it doesn't increase the success rate much..."

Zhao Qian opened his mouth to respond. As expected of Huashen’s disciple, he knew a lot and could talk about many unheard-of treasures.

"The Great Dao is created by nature, and yin and yang complement and counteract each other. Although the inner demons are strong, the world will also breed treasures specifically for them, such as those spiritual objects that form infants..."

Tao Shou Zhenren took over the conversation at this time and continued to preach, with a hint of eagerness in his eyes:
"For example, after refining the Heavenly Infant Pure Origin Jade, one can transform into a Heavenly Infant, with the Pure Origin remaining the same and a mind like a baby. Even the demons from outside the domain cannot do anything to him."

“Or maybe the divine thunder of extinction, a thunder sound can penetrate life and death, even the invisible inner demon will be seriously injured, and in the end it will have no choice but to flee.”

A spiritual creature that can form a baby?

Li Quanqing raised his eyebrows. He really gained a lot of knowledge. He didn't expect that there were such treasures in the world of immortal cultivation.

He knew about the foundation-building spiritual objects, the golden elixir spiritual objects, and now there are also spiritual objects for forming infants.

Would there be any spiritual objects that could help great monks break through the bottleneck of transformation and stand at the top of the human world?
Zhao Qian’s expression remained unchanged: “In the beginning of ancient times, when the world was just created, the world of immortal cultivation was extremely prosperous, and these spiritual objects that could form infants could still be found. Now that the origin of the world is broken, it is nothing but a mirage and wishful thinking to want to find one.”

Many Jindan cultivators were disappointed when they heard this. This was indeed the truth. Nowadays, the environment of heaven and earth has changed. Even breaking through to the God Transformation stage is a luxury. Various natural materials and treasures have long been extinct. The resources for cultivating immortals are not as good as before.

"It's not in the realm, but we can look for it outside the realm..."

Taoist Master Tao Shou smiled and said inexplicably, "I heard that during the last cross-border war of the Immortal Dynasty, a small world was destroyed, and in the end, a Heavenly Infant Hunyuan Jade was discovered?"

Zhao Qian glanced at him, pondered for a moment, and finally did not hide it: "It is true. I once made some gains in the origin vein of that world and found a piece of Hunyuan jade."

"There are many Taoist friends and sects who are eager for this spiritual object to form a baby. Unfortunately, their efforts are in vain. I, the Taoist master, have already decided on the purpose of this object and am preparing to refine a furnace of Holy Infant Pills."

Li Quanqing was astonished. Although hunting in a world is risky and full of difficulties and obstacles, the rewards are also amazing.

It is surprising that even such an ancient and extinct treasure can be discovered.

No wonder the way of immortality is becoming more and more prosperous, with a tendency to unify the five realms and become the leader in the world of immortal cultivation.

"Holy Infant Pill?!"

Tao Shou Zhenren's eyes lit up, and his breathing quickened: "But that peerless elixir that is said to have been refined by an ancient saint, which can help cultivators break through the Nascent Soul stage, be blessed by the holy light, and not fear the inner demons? Isn't it rumored that the recipe of the elixir has been lost over the years?"

In ancient times, there was a mortal who had an extraordinary understanding. He understood the nature of heaven and earth, became an immortal on the spot, and ascended to heaven in one step.

This person is revered as a saint, an existence that even immortals would be amazed by, and he only exists in myths and legends.

"I, the Changsheng Dao, have excavated the remains of ancient sects and searched all over the world for Taoist classics. Finally, I have recovered the formula for the Holy Infant Pill."

"Unfortunately, this pill is a product of the good fortune of heaven and earth. Many of its raw materials have long been extinct in the world of immortal cultivation. It is too precious, so we can only study and improve it."

“I wonder if I can witness this grand occasion in my lifetime!”

Zhao Qian looked proud, genuinely proud of Changsheng Dao's strength, and at the same time, he had a hidden deep expectation.

Given his current age, status and cultivation, it is really possible for him to taste what this legendary elixir tastes like.

"Holy Infant Pill..."

Li Quanqing kept this name in mind and felt extremely envious. The Huashen Sect was indeed extraordinary.

Unfortunately, even if the Immortal Dynasty could really refine it, he would not be able to get it, and even smelling the fragrance of the elixir would be a luxury.

I just don't know where his journey to form a baby will take him?

A discussion about breaking through the Nascent Soul realm made all the Golden Core True Immortals fascinated and said that their horizons were broadened.

It should be noted that in ancient times, these secrets of forming a fetus were kept secret by powerful sects and families and would never be told to any outsider.

Fortunately, the atmosphere in the world of immortal cultivation has gradually changed, and people are no longer so clinging to their own secrets, which allows everyone to get a glimpse of these secrets.

After Zhao Qian and the other two finished, they discussed with the other Jindan Zhenren, who began to explain their own paths of cultivation, the secrets of their magical powers, or their experiences in refining pills and other arts of cultivation.

Li Quanqing did the same. After making his choice, he began to talk about some third-level alchemy techniques, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

High-level alchemists will receive due respect wherever they go and are considered rare talents in the field of immortal cultivation.

For a moment, the attitude of nearby monks such as Lei Tianen towards him became increasingly friendly.

This sermon lasted for about half a month. Everyone talked about everything, drank and had a great time.

During this period, several small trading meetings were held to share what they had and exchange treasures with each other.

Li Quanqing didn't think much of it. The treasures that these Jindan Zhenren took out were not worthy of his attention at all.

He has several Nascent Soul spiritual treasures on him, as well as a fourth-order talisman. Even Zhao Qian, who comes from the Taoist sect of immortality, does not have as many trump cards as he does.

The only benefit was that it allowed Baoguangchan to absorb enough precious energy.

This guy consumes precious energy every day to practice. In addition to precious treasures, he also has requirements for the types and quantities of the precious energy. The more the better.

After several small trading meetings, and with the added bonus of consuming the precious energy of the Nascent Soul Spirit Treasure, Baoguangchan finally succeeded in breaking through to the late stage of foundation building.
