Unrivaled Comprehension: From Mortal to Immortal King

While reading the Taoist scriptures, Lin Jiufeng unexpectedly comprehended the "Primordial Spirit Liberation Technique," which was a pleasant surprise.

In fact, the "Feather Ascension Scripture" already had methods for cultivating the primordial spirit, and following these methods could help one form the primordial spirit and separate it from the body, though it was slower. The advantage of this method was its solid foundation. Now that Lin Jiufeng had the "Primordial Spirit Liberation Technique," combining it with the "Feather Ascension Scripture" would undoubtedly be twice the result with half the effort. Lin Jiufeng decided to cultivate it decisively.

He first lit incense, bathed, and changed clothes, then told Wen Xinyun and the other two not to disturb him. He returned to his room, sat cross-legged, cleared his mind, and began his cultivation.

With the "Feather Ascension Scripture" as the main method and the "Primordial Spirit Liberation Technique" as an auxiliary, Lin Jiufeng began to gather his vital energy, spirit, and mind.

Most people's vital energy, spirit, and mind are scattered. Even cultivators of the Fourth Stage cannot control all their vital energy and spirit, and their power is only stronger than an ordinary person's. Therefore, when a Fourth Stage cultivator faces a Fifth Stage cultivator, their primordial spirit alone would be insufficient to resist. A Fifth Stage cultivator can crush the vital energy and spirit of a Fourth Stage cultivator, making them disoriented, as if they were severely ill—unable to focus, unable to control their body, and unable to exert even one-tenth of their strength.

Cultivating to the Fifth Stage also means becoming a Primordial Spirit Master, transcending the level of martial arts masters. Lin Jiufeng planned to break through with all his heart and soul. He would not leave until he had successfully formed his primordial spirit.

It was night, and Lin Jiufeng began to concentrate his vital energy and spirit, which surged from his body, intertwining and gathering at his brow. Slowly, it began to take shape.

At first, it was just a formless, chaotic consciousness. But as Lin Jiufeng ran the "Feather Ascension Scripture" and the "Primordial Spirit Liberation Technique," this chaotic consciousness began to solidify. It was like molding clay into a human form—gathering the formless vital energy and spirit, kneading it, then shaping it, until it became a little figure resembling Lin Jiufeng himself.

This was the primordial spirit. Lin Jiufeng carefully shaped it, and as he did, the dazzling starlight from the sky shone directly down, streaming through the window and landing on Lin Jiufeng's body. Instantly, a sense of peace, profundity, and vastness emanated from the primordial spirit. The starlight seemed to soothe it.

This was the starlight drawn by the "Primordial Spirit Liberation Technique."

The previously scattered and formless vital energy and spirit gradually took shape. It became a vast sea of stars, deep and brilliant. In the sea of stars, a "giant" emerged. This "giant" stood upon the river of stars, eyes closed, peacefully sleeping, while the stars of the heavens revolved around it. This scene was breathtakingly beautiful. It was Lin Jiufeng's primordial spirit. With the help of the starlight, it finally came into being.

In the next moment, the formed primordial spirit, with the vast sea of stars, surged into Lin Jiufeng's brow.

Boom!

Lin Jiufeng's brow split open, and his sea of consciousness appeared, with his primordial spirit residing inside. His cultivation realm smoothly broke into the Fifth Stage, the realm of the Primordial Spirit Master.

At that moment, Lin Jiufeng's power surged. In just one breath, his strength increased by one dragon and one elephant, and it didn't stop there. The starlight entered his brain, and Lin Jiufeng felt his body cool, as if bathing in the ethereal aura of immortals. Every pore absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making him feel as though he was floating, as if on the verge of ascension.

This state didn't last long. When Lin Jiufeng's power reached the level of thirty dragons and thirty elephants, all the strange phenomena faded. Lin Jiufeng returned to his original self, still sitting cross-legged in meditation. Inside his brow, amidst a field of starlight, his primordial spirit, in its detached state, gazed curiously.

The Fifth Stage still required one final step.

Opening the primordial spirit.

That is, separating the primordial spirit from the body and roaming across the Three Mountains and Five Seas.

But how could he separate his primordial spirit?

Lin Jiufeng couldn't help but recall a previous scripture he had read. It mentioned stepping with the left foot and then the right, leaping out of the Mud Pill Palace. Lin Jiufeng decisively attempted it. Inside his sea of consciousness, a vast starry sea surrounded the primordial spirit. In the next moment, the primordial spirit placed its left foot over the right and took a powerful step upward.

It didn't fall.

Lin Jiufeng was greatly surprised and then overjoyed. Indeed, the primordial spirit couldn't be judged by common sense. Just like that, his primordial spirit, within the sea of consciousness, stepped upward repeatedly, as if climbing a ladder to the heavens, reaching the deepest part of the Mud Pill Palace. Then, gathering all his strength, he leapt powerfully.

Boom!

It was as though he had broken through the world. At this moment, the stars in the sky flickered, and from the distant, infinite void, long beams of light shot down, entering Lin Jiufeng's primordial spirit.

The starlight entered his body, dreamlike and surreal, making Lin Jiufeng's primordial spirit grow stronger.

After a moment, Lin Jiufeng adapted to the sensation. When he looked again, he found his primordial spirit had detached from his body. Looking at his own seated, calm self, he felt a sense of wonder.
