Ancestor Above - Chapter 290

290 The preparations before the nascent soul

After handing the Saint artifact to his daughter, Lu Qing began to study his own matters.

Lu Qing had gained a lot from this trip to the Penglai Celestial Palace. The various rewards were secondary. The most important thing was that he had a rough understanding of the origin of this so-called system.

He had pretended to be a ‘family rise system’ and made it look like some of the games he had played in his previous life. In the end, it was actually an inheritance left behind by Lu Huan, the ‘immortal of the immortals’,’ beginning of the immortal path’, and ‘ancestor of all Dao’.

!!
Perhaps it was because Lu Huan might be from earth? Or was this Lu Huan an ancestor of this body many generations ago?

In short, he might have some special characteristics that were similar to Lu Huan’s. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain the so-called ‘same origin’ that the White sword immortal remnant will felt.

In addition, he had been paying close attention to the events of the ancient era, so he more or less understood a little.

He thought about it and concluded that the story of the ancient times should be like this:

Spirit Qi should have existed in this world. However, all living beings had primitive and crude ways of using spiritual energy.

Until Lu Huan’s appearance. With his unparalleled talent and his own power, he created a brilliant immortal cultivation civilization. No matter if they were humans, demons, or natural-born monsters, they all had their own systematic cultivation path.

After that, it should be the golden age of the ancient immortal cultivation world. The 21 Immortals were of the same profession, and the entire human cultivation world reached its peak.

And all of this came to an abrupt end after Lu Huan communicated with the boundless divine realm.

The invasion of the Protoss had also attracted the attention of the true demons in the bottomless abyss. These two sides were mortal enemies. They had fought each other in countless worlds and won and lost, but there was no doubt that the world that was used as the battlefield must have been smashed to pieces after the war of Gods and demons. There might be some indigenous people who could survive, but it would definitely be an extremely rare case.

After that, the demon or God who won would take the entire world as a trophy and drag it into the boundless divine realm or the bottomless abyss, integrating it into it and making it a part of the divine realm or abyss. And this also meant that the original world would be destroyed.

This was something that the twenty-one immemorial Immortals, Lu Huan, and the others gradually learned during the battle between the gods and demons.

Of course, the immortals would not allow such a thing to happen.

However, in the tough battles, the human world was forced to retreat under the attacks of the God race, which had extremely high individual quality and strong discipline, as well as the true demons, who had a large number of servants and evil demons.

However, the only good news was that gods and demons were also opposing forces. The hatred between them was extremely great, and there was no possibility of cooperation between them. In fact, they were even more inclined to fight each other to the death than to destroy the cultivators, demons, and sprites in the native world.

This was also an opportunity for mankind. They were able to maintain a balance between the three sides.

However, anyone with a little bit of foresight would know that if this continued, the human world would be finished sooner or later.

In the beginning, the immortals controlled an entire world, and they couldn’t stop the gods and devils in the early stages of their invasion. Later, they didn’t even control one-third of the world, so how could they fight against the gods and devils?

Moreover, as time passed, more and more gods and demons emerged from the cracks in various places and invaded this time.

The longer they dragged on, the less likely they were to win.

As the main culprit of all this and the strongest of the demons, Lu Huan took on this responsibility and sacrificed his life to seal the crack.

What happened after that was unknown. That sword immortal remnant will also didn’t know, because at about the same time, white sword immortal, in order to understand his ambition, cut out the side that represented his greed, which was the sword immortal remnant will.

Since that was the case, the sword immortal remnant will definitely did not know what happened after that.

Lu Qing had resolved one of his greatest worries after he had figured out what had happened in the ancient times. At the same time, he had a clear idea of his future path.

The worry was that the system in his body should have no hidden dangers. The sword immortal remnant will should not have any reason to lie to him. This ‘ancestor of all DAOs’ had completely disappeared. Only a portion of his power was left behind, and Lu Qing had inherited it.

Even though Lu Qing was still paranoid and could not completely put his mind at ease, he was already feeling much better. At the very least, he could use the system’s power with more ease now that he knew where it came from.

Yingluo seemed to have used it a lot in the past.

In addition, the clear path in the future was for Lu Qing to collect the power left behind by the 21 Immortals. This was the most fundamental way to strengthen himself step by step. At the peak of the primordial era, the power of the 21 most powerful Immortals could be fused with the inheritance of the ancestor of ten thousand DAOs. How strong would he be after the fusion?

It shouldn’t be a problem if no one in the entire world could compete with him, right?

At this level, the ultimate goal of the immortal cultivation path was: Longevity and long-term vision seemed to be within reach.

Of course, everything was still out of his reach. However, at least Lu Qing had a clear goal.

At the same time, he also knew what the greatest enemy he would face in the future was: God and demon.

However, it seemed fine now. There were no more legends about the true demons and the Celestials in this world, and there were no longer any traces of them. It seemed that the immortals of the immemorial age had finally solved this problem.

I hope I don’t run into Yingluo in the future.

Of course, there were two questions on Lu Qing’s face: One was a cultivation technique, the other was a nascent soul.

Cultivation techniques were clearly the prerequisite for everything.

After the group from the celestial Palace returned, Lu Qing obtained the immemorial sacred white sword manual, a divine-grade cultivation technique. This cultivation technique also contained the contents of the nascent soul.

In other words, he could already break through to the nascent soul level with the help of the White Saint Sword manual.

However, before that, he still had two more options to upgrade to the immemorial level.

He was in a dilemma. What were these two upgrade options for?

He put this aside and tried to merge the cultivation techniques.

In order to fully display the power of the three divine-grade cultivation techniques, the cultivation techniques must be fused. Otherwise, just like what he had just tried, without a suitable spiritual energy, he could only exert 20% of the power of the moves in the White Saint Sword manual.

However, if he were to simply cultivate the Holy white sword Codex, his spiritual power attributes would change, and he would have to give up on The Book of Fate and the rising stars technique. That would be a pity.

He tried to merge them and realized that he had succeeded.

The new technique was called the ‘immemorial creation star sword technique’.

System, you’re really something.

The name was just a casual comment and did not have much to do with it. What Lu Qing was more concerned about was what level the cultivation technique would be after the fusion.

At a glance, it was a five-star, which was the level of the nascent soul.

He was overjoyed, but when he observed carefully, he was doused with cold water again.

This five-star cultivation technique was a castrated version.

He looked up to the sky and sighed. As expected, it was impossible to create something out of nothing. Before the integration, among the three basic cultivation methods, only the White Saint Sword manual had the content of the nascent soul. After the integration, it was naturally impossible to complete the rising star technique and The Book of Fate for no reason.

It was also possible to break through to the nascent soul realm with the cultivation technique after the fusion. Moreover, the cultivated true essence also had the three great attributes of star, wood, and metal. With this true essence as the foundation, any move of the three divine-grade cultivation methods could be fully exerted.

However, this cultivation method did not include the rising star incantation and The Book of Fate’s nascent soul level moves. Even the current moves could not exceed the peak of the Golden core realm.

In addition, since he was a level higher, the moves of the sacred white sword manual could not be combined with the rising stars technique and the creation book to form a combination skill. For example, Lu Qing’s ‘fire of the star Wood’ and ‘Heaven’s Fate preservation technique’, which were enhanced by the star power, could not be upgraded to the nascent soul level. At the same time, they could not combine with the abilities of the Holy white sword manual and the metal element.

Lu Qing switched to the cultivation technique that had been fused. The attribute of his true essence would no longer be a problem. However, without a doubt, without the simultaneous upgrade of the creation book and the rising stars incantation, his combat strength would definitely be affected to a certain extent.

After some thought, Lu Qing decided to use the two immemorial level-up options on these two cultivation techniques.

Without a doubt, if these two techniques were upgraded to the Yuanying stage, the effect of the fusion would be very strong. With the help of the ‘creation rising star sword technique’, it was obvious that Lu Qing would have an easier time breaking through to the nascent soul realm.

For the current Lu Qing, his top priority was to raise his cultivation to the nascent soul realm.

After breaking through to the nascent soul realm, he had nothing to fear in the entire Yan country.

For ordinary nascent soul cultivators, it might be difficult for them to deal with those who were experienced because they had just broken through. However, Lu Qing relied on his various talents and the power of divine-grade cultivation techniques. As long as he reached this level, his combat strength would definitely be among the best.

If he were to fight against an original leveled cultivator, he would find it difficult to even fight against an original leveled cultivator if he used all his techniques. However, as long as he completed the breakthrough and took this step, he would be able to easily defeat even a mid-stage original leveled cultivator.

Lu Qing did not plan to care about anything else for the time being after he had completed the fusion of the cultivation techniques. As long as nothing major happened to his clan, he was prepared to stay on Yuyan mountain in peace and obediently. He would try his best to complete the breakthrough to the nascent Soul Stage in one breath.

For ordinary people, if they wanted to advance from Jindan to Yuanying, they would have to prepare various five-star heavenly materials and earthly treasures worth four to five hundred thousand Yuan before they could complete the arrangement and try.

However, Lu Qing clearly did not need that much.

On one hand, the spirit Qi that he had obtained from the system for free was almost endless. This saved Lu Qing a lot of expenses. As for the other materials that he needed to protect himself during the breakthrough process, he didn’t need that many. With the various talents and the three divine-grade cultivation techniques that he had fused in his current body, the success rate of his breakthrough was very high. He did not need much protection.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if he failed, he felt that with his current Foundation, he wouldn’t suffer too much damage.

However, the process of forming the Aurous core and transforming into the nascent soul still required him to walk step by step on his own.

The so-called Qi cultivation was to draw in the first breath of innate Qi and walk on the immortal path. Foundation establishment was to cleanse one’s body and forge one’s Dao Foundation, allowing one’s body to withstand a stronger spiritual energy baptism. The initial enlightenment stage was the opening of the soul, allowing the cultivator’s physical body and soul to reach their limits.

These were the three major early stages of the path of cultivation. Whether it was drawing in Qi, strengthening the body, or strengthening the soul, they were all essentially making early preparations. The Golden core stage was the most important step for a true great cultivator. He United his spiritual power, physical body, and divine soul into one and condensed the Golden core in his dantian. He United all his strength and compressed it into the Golden core. It was also because the spirit, body, and spirit had truly reached a unity that the cultivator’s control of their strength changed from a shallow level of spirit power to a more condensed and unified true essence.

However, this was only the beginning.

The unified spirit, body, and soul underwent a further transformation. From a pure Jindan, it transformed into another incarnation of a cultivator. This was the so-called ‘nascent soul’.

After forming a nascent soul, the nascent soul in the cultivator’s body was actually the cultivator’s life. As long as the nascent soul was not destroyed, the cultivator would not die. Even if his physical body was destroyed and his nascent soul left his body, he could still find a chance of survival.

To reach this step, the transformation from Jindan to Yuanying was extremely difficult.

The first thing Lu Qing had to do was to adjust the attribute of the primordial Qi in his body from the wood star primordial Qi to the three-attribute primordial Qi.

He estimated that he would need to spend about one and a half years to two years on this process.

Then, after completing the transformation of the true Essence’s attribute, he also had to Polish his own realm, gradually store more true essence, and slowly compress it into the Golden core, accumulating power for the next transformation.

For ordinary golden core cultivators, this was a long process that would take decades to complete.

However, Lu Qing estimated that he would only have four to five years. That would be about it.

At the same time, he needed to make use of this time. He had already sent messages to chaoxi and Yan Ling. Through the Lu family and the sect, they were going to help him gather the materials he needed for his breakthrough.

Breaking through to the nascent Soul Stage didn’t require any special treasures. It mainly depended on the method of breakthrough, the attribute of true essence, and the needs of the cultivator who broke through.

For example, Lu Qing’s request was simpler.

This was also what he had specially come for. For those materials, he specifically chose some that might not be cheap, but they were not rare on the market. If he was willing to pay the price, he would be able to buy them.

After Lu chaoxi and Li Yanling saw their father’s request, they could roughly guess what their father wanted to do.

While he was excited, he could not help but worry-with such simple preparations, would it have an adverse effect on his father’s breakthrough?

A failed breakthrough was even more hurtful than being seriously injured in battle.

However, he did not give them a chance to persuade him. Lu Qing said, ” I know what I’m doing, so I’ll just do as I’m told.
