Yellow Court Daoist

However,

what posed the greatest challenge for most Primordial Spirit Practitioners in terms of advancing their Dao ability and Divine Soul, was paradoxically, a simple matter for Lu Qingfeng.

"Innate Scattered Characters."

With a mere thought.

Lu Qingfeng suddenly found an Iron Lotus Seed in his hand.

Holding the Iron Lotus Seed, an infinite mysterious aura intertwined with Lu Qingfeng. Within his Divine Soul, a nascent spirit light slowly took shape.

Even though it was just an embryonic form.

Among the one hundred and twenty-nine Postnatal Scattered Characters, it stood out surpassing all others significantly.

Even just at its inception,

it pushed the one hundred and twenty-nine Postnatal Scattered Characters to a remote corner, occupying the central position alone with the embryonic form of the Innate Scattered Character.

Innate!

Postnatal!

The distinction in levels was immediately clear.

"Derivation Technique - Enlightenment!"

With a thought from Lu Qingfeng, he immediately utilized the Enlightenment Technique, touching the nascent form of the spirit light emerging from the accomplished Innate Scattered Character within his Divine Soul.

In an instant,

the spirit lights emitted by the one hundred and twenty-nine Postnatal Scattered Characters vibrated simultaneously, their brilliance illuminating the Divine Soul and converging on the central nascent form.

The "Luofu Sword Scripture" activated automatically, its Mana flowing like a vast river, mighty and relentless. Spiritual Energy continuously surged into Lu Qingfeng's body, quickly being refined into Mana.

The Mana swelled.

Spirit light flickered within the Divine Soul.

Mystery erupted.

In an instant, numerous truths became clear and transparent, and many obscure aspects of the cultivation technique became straightforward. All the past confusions in his cultivation disappeared without a trace.

The feeling of sudden enlightenment was intoxicating.

No practitioner could resist such pleasure.

As his Divine Soul and Divine Thought continuously expended, Lu Qingfeng indulged in it, oblivious to the passage of time.

Until his Divine Thought dimmed and his Divine Soul felt illusory.

"Hisss!"

Lu Qingfeng suddenly realized and forcibly stopped.

Feeling somewhat unsatisfied yet weakened in his Divine Soul.

Looking inward,

at the center of the Divine Soul, the nascent form of the spirit light representing the Innate Scattered Character seemed slightly stronger. Through the clearer patterns of the Innate Scattered Characters seen through the spirit light,

Lu Qingfeng, despite the weakness of his Divine Soul, stared intently at the Innate Scattered Character's nascent form.

With a thought,

the dim Divine Thought suddenly split into two, though both were faint, a sense of strength hovered in his mind.

"Nourishing God Realm."

"To harbor 365 Divine Thoughts, achieving Celestial Cycle surrounding the Divine Soul."

"And then having the Celestial Cycle Divine Thought enter the Divine Soul."

"Leads to the Second Realm of Primordial Spirit—the Divinity Transformation Realm."

The Divinity Transformation Realm is the process of transforming the Primordial Spirit, where the Celestial Cycle Divine Thoughts within the Divine Soul grow and change continuously, ultimately transforming the Divine Soul into a Daoist Primordial Spirit, culminating in the perfection of the Divinity Transformation Realm, enabling advancement to the Third Realm of Primordial Spirit—Soul Emergence Realm.

Lu Qingfeng, having just advanced to the Nourishing God Realm, was still far from reaching the Divinity Transformation Realm, let alone the distant Soul Emergence Realm.

He decided not to dwell on it for now.

Dividing his Divine Thought.

Generating a second Divine Thought, Lu Qingfeng attempted to split the two Divine Thoughts into four.

With a thought,

following the method in the "Luofu Sword Scripture," he divided his Divine Thought.

But the next moment, a tearing sensation came from within the Divine Soul. Lu Qingfeng concentrated and held his breath as the two external Divine Thoughts entangled and transformed, generating a third Divine Thought.

As for the fourth.

It failed to manifest.

"That hurts."

"I've reached my limit."

The tearing of the Divine Soul was unbearably painful.

Lu Qingfeng's complexion turned deathly pale, and he quickly stopped. Opened his mouth to swallow a handful of Spirit Pills to restore his Divine Soul's strength and held a Mirror Stone in each hand, quietly recuperating.

Three days later.

The painful sensation in his Divine Soul subsided, and both his Divine Soul and Divine Thought somewhat recovered.

"Using half of my Divine Soul's strength and one Divine Thought for a single Enlightenment, I went from one Divine Thought in the Nourishing God Realm to three. At this rate, a hundred or so more Enlightenments would allow me to split into 365 Divine Thoughts, reaching the peak of the Nourishing God Realm."

"At most a few centuries, and I will completely comprehend an Innate Scattered Character."

A faint joy emerged on Lu Qingfeng's pale face.

Insight is crucial in the Realm of Primordial Spirit.

The limitation of Root Bone is minimal.

The importance of comprehension thus becomes extraordinarily prominent.

Of course,

from the beginning of cultivation, comprehension has been critically important.

Like Lu Qingfeng.

At the start of his cultivation, both his Root Bone and comprehension were not particularly good.

In the first few lives cultivating in the "Primordial," whether it was mastering Cultivation Techniques, mastering Techniques, or practicing Alchemy, Artifact Refining, or talisman arts, Lu Qingfeng was just the most ordinary among them.

With the help of a hundredfold time difference,

he cultivated over and over, practiced repeatedly, and pondered continuously, only then achieving his current success. Only in subsequent lives did he seem to possess excellent comprehension, excelling in Cultivation Techniques, mastery of Techniques, and skills in Alchemy and Artifact Refining, far surpassing his peers.

It was all made possible by time.

After ascending to Primordial Spirit, Lu Qingfeng's insight naturally increased greatly.

In the past, he needed many years of pondering and repeated practice to master Middle-level Techniques, but now, a single thought from Lu Qingfeng could comprehend them in an instant.

But understanding Innate Scattered Characters, and exploring the mysteries and truths of the Primordial Spirit Stage, remained challenging.

"In the Cultivation World,"

"those who achieve Primordial Spirit, which one wasn't a prodigy during the Foundation Establishment, Spirit Void, or Core Formation Stages, with exceptional comprehension?"

Lu Qingfeng smiled, shaking his head.

Yet these prodigies, even after advancing to Primordial Spirit, still struggled to break through in the Nourishing God Realm and the Divinity Transformation Realm.

When one's Life Span comes to an end,

they cannot escape the cycle of Reincarnation.

If perceptiveness could also be classified like Root Bone across varying levels,

then at the beginning of Lu Qingfeng's Cultivation, he would belong to the lowest rank. Without fortuitous opportunities, even without the limitations of Root Bone, he could at most cultivate to the Foundation Establishment Stage. His comprehension would then be insufficient, and understanding the various Cultivation and Derivation Techniques would occupy a significant amount of Lu Qingfeng's time.

Thus, halting at some realm within the Foundation Establishment Stage.

That is what is termed as the depletion of potential.

However, with continuous cultivation and his nightly recitations of the "Yellow Court Scripture," Lu Qingfeng's perceptiveness has notably improved. If before he was stuck at the Foundation Establishment Stage, now his understanding has reached the levels of the Spirit Void Stage or even the Core Formation Stage.

But still,

compared to the Cultivation needed for the Primordial Spirit Stage, it remains insufficient.

"Using half of the Divine Soul Power for one Enlightenment is equivalent to a hundred years of arduous contemplation on my part."

"Fully understanding an Innate Scattered Character requires about a hundred and ten instances of Enlightenment. Normally, it would take over ten thousand years."

This means—

Without the "Yellow Court Scripture."

Without the technique of Enlightenment.

Without the "Red Dust Longevity Technique."

Even if Lu Qingfeng were fortunate enough to advance to Primordial Spirit, without other fortuitous events, like most Primordial Spirit Practitioners, he would stop at the Nourishing God Realm. Eventually, when his Life Span runs out, he would reincarnate.

A lifetime of Cultivation.

With good luck, this might form the foundation for greater accomplishments in the next life.

With bad luck, it would all be in vain.

Merely passing through this life.

"However,"

"I possess the Derivation Technique - Enlightenment, allowing rapid advancement in my Dao ability."

Lu Qingfeng increasingly recognized the power of the "Yellow Court Scripture."

Undoubtedly, it's a Daoist Ancestor Level Cultivation Method. The higher one's cultivation, the deeper the understanding of the "Yellow Court Scripture," and the more one can appreciate its mysteries.

For ordinary Primordial Spirit Practitioners, the Innate Scattered Characters are tough to comprehend, and advancing Dao ability is the hardest.

But for Lu Qingfeng—

With the use of the Derivation Technique - Enlightenment.

Advancing in Dao ability is as easy as drinking tea and water, done with leisure.

Instead, it's the strengthening of the Divine Soul, Divine Thought, and the growth of Mana that require the painstaking effort of Water Milling, demanding vast resources and far more time, energy, and resources than advancing Dao ability.

"To strengthen or recover the Divine Soul and Divine Thought, one needs ample resources like Mirror Stones, Moon Stones, and many Spirit Pills that bolster the Divine Soul."

"And to increase Mana,"

"One also needs Spirit Stones and Spirit Pills."

As long as resources are sufficient, Lu Qingfeng even has hopes of transcending the Nourishing God Realm and advancing to the God Transformation Realm within a mere few centuries.

Not only that.

Understanding more Postnatal Scattered Characters helps comprehend Innate Scattered Characters.

If Lu Qingfeng masters more Postnatal Scattered Characters, this speed could further increase.

Ultimately—

"Cultivation resources are indispensable!"

Lu Qingfeng pondered deeply.

After reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm, the roles of Mirror Stones and Spirit Stones diminish significantly, and success must rely on quantity. Mirror Stones can be substituted with higher-ranked Moon Stones, along with Spirit Pills, to quickly strengthen and restore the power of the Divine Soul.

As for Mana—

Spirit Stones are essential.

Mana-increasing Spirit Pills, such as the widely circulated Primordial Yang Pill and Sea Illuminating Pill, as well as the Pure Yang Pill which only Mahayana True Immortals and Eighth Rank Alchemists can refine, can all greatly accelerate Mana growth, shortening the arduous process of cultivation for Primordial Spirit Practitioners.

There is a saying, 'Rich at Core Formation, poor at Primordial Spirit, and True Immortals beggars in the streets.'

This saying reflects the enormous resource consumption of a Primordial Spirit True One and Mahayana True Immortals. Even with higher cultivation and faster earning of wealth, due to the immense expenses needed for cultivation, no amount of resources seems sufficient for Primordial Spirit and Mahayana consumption.

"No wonder."

"Primordial Spirit Practitioners can purify Incense Fire Wish Power and refine Heavenly Silver. Yet, circulating Heavenly Silver remains exceedingly scarce within the Cultivation World."

Simply put,

relative to the formidable demands of Primordial Spirit Practitioners, the methods for refining Heavenly Silver and earning Cultivation resources are too slow. Unless there is no other choice or during closed-door cultivation, hardly any Primordial Spirit Practitioner would waste precious time refining Heavenly Silver.

Having not reached Primordial Spirit.

Having not cultivated within the Primordial Spirit Realm.

One does not realize the immense need for various resources during the cultivation of Primordial Spirit Practitioners.

If time spans thousands of years, it would be simple for Lu Qingfeng, as a Seventh Order Alchemist and Seventh Order Artifact Refiner, to earn these resources.

But the 'Derivation Technique - Enlightenment' could potentially shorten this process to just a few hundred years.

The difficulty is more than tenfold.

Wuwang Sea.

Nameless Island.

While pondering the various resources needed for Primordial Spirit cultivation and how to rapidly accumulate such vast resources, Lu Qingfeng also restored the consumed Divine Soul.

This marks the beginning of his cultivation in the Primordial Spirit Stage.

After advancing to the Primordial Spirit Stage.

"Luofu Sword Scripture."

"Twelve Heavenly Demon God Skill."

"Yellow Robe True Skill."

"Five Thunder Heart Sutra."

The mysteries of these four cultivation methods are revealed—

Whether in advancing Dao ability, comprehending Scattered Characters, or increasing Mana, none compare to ordinary methods.

Moreover,

before entering Chunshen Realm, Lu Qingfeng, within the Dragon Transformation Pond, had strengthened the other three cultivation methods, excluding the "Luofu Sword Scripture," to Supreme Level.

Four Supreme Level cultivation methods, shockingly powerful.

The Luofu Heart Lamp oscillates within the Dantian, constantly burning the Golden Core, tempering the Mana. In the Consciousness Sea, the connection between the Divine Soul and the Golden Core continuously descends from the Upper Elixir Field to the Lower Dantian.

Just waiting for the three hundred and sixty-five Divine Thoughts to achieve, advancing to the God Transformation Realm, the Divine Soul can then settle into the Golden Core.

At that moment,

The Golden Core will nourish, Divine Thoughts will derive, and Mana will be tempered.

And the Primordial Spirit will eventually form.
