Immortal Road.

Lin Shan was truly shocked!
The gold-lacquered wolf-hair brush was Zhong Shenxiu's most treasured possession. He would take it out to show off wherever he went, and even went to great lengths to upgrade it to a spiritual treasure, treating it almost like his first wife.

So you're just going to throw it away like that?

He even threw away his first wife?
As the saying goes, one should not covet one's brother's wife, which puts the second brother in a difficult position!

He held it because it was too hot to handle, and he couldn't get over the hurdle in his mind, so he simply tossed it to his pet, the Ink Wild Toad, so that the guy could use it.

The old toad was so excited to receive the magical treasure that it jumped three feet high!

"Croak! This pen suits me perfectly! Actually, I'm quite literate myself, and writing is a piece of cake for me! Croak~"

As it spoke, this thing actually used its webbed claws to grab the pen with its backhand and started writing incomprehensible demonic script on the paper, while a group of little toads cheered it on.

Lin Shan was speechless. He really didn't know what kind of expression his third brother would have when they met again and he saw his natal spirit treasure being ruined by a toad.

Another star vortex is also intensifying, and the Sunflower Fairy also throws down her natal magic treasure, a small printed mandarin duck fan!
"Ah~~~"

Lin Shan tossed it aside with disdain. He admired the Sunflower Fairy's courage, as he had almost lost control when he first obtained the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual. However, it was easy to break one's life force but difficult to reconnect it.

You may not use it, but you can't live without it!
Humans and demons shouldn't be discriminated against; it's a choice one is born with. But he just can't get over that hurdle in his heart, and even the Sunflower Fairy's natal magic treasure feels like a hot potato.

The wretched spirit, seeing its prey, eagerly ran over, grabbed it, and gave it two big kisses.

"The treasures that the young master doesn't fancy, I really love!"

"Okay, you can take it."

Lin Shan let it go. With the boundless power of a great supernatural being, he could use the Star Sea to repeatedly wash over it, helping it to penetrate and control the spiritual treasure. As long as it works, that's fine.

However, one cannot forcibly break the bond with a natal spirit treasure. Just like Shui Bingyue's Moon Pattern Silver Sword, the Ice Python can kick her out, but it cannot completely kick Shui Bingyue away.

Treasures continued to be thrown down from the star vortex.

As the two continued their rivalry, they became so poor that they were practically selling their underwear!

The Sunflower Fairy threw down all her personal clothing, such as her bellyband, underwear, skirt, and embroidered shoes. Each item was a fine magical treasure, which delighted the evil spirits!
The three brothers, Mang, Huo, and Ru, scrambled to grab the clothes, and after they finished, they were deeply intoxicated, pervertedly inhaling the fragrance on the clothes, which made Lin Shan feel a chill.

"Mmm~ It smells so good, this aroma is absolutely wonderful~"

"It's hard to imagine what a beautiful woman is outside the star vortex. I really wish I could kiss her and drink her blood and flesh."

"In the north there is a beautiful woman, peerless and independent, from which longing has taken its toll."

As they were talking, they actually put on the bibs, embroidered shoes, aprons and other items!

The scene was a chaotic mess, quite an eyesore.

Lin Shan resisted the urge to tell them that the Sunflower Fairy was a transvestite, while the three evil spirit brothers were still immersed in their speculation and imagination that the person opposite them was an unparalleled beauty.

"Puff~"

Waves splashed across the sea of ​​stars, and a massive mirage dragon, ten feet tall, was thrown out of the star vortex, now dazed and shaking its head.

Upon opening its eyes and seeing a group of demons on the shore, it was so frightened that its tongue lolled out and its dragon eyes widened in shock!

"what?"

Isn't this the third brother's signature move, the finishing touch?

This dragon isn't a painting, it's real!

Lin Shan instantly understood and couldn't help but admire Zhong Shenxiu. It turned out that Zhong Shenxiu had been lying all along. What nonsense about the sect's divine power was just a trick he used to deceive people by raising a spirit pet!

The finishing touch! Now I understand.

"Woo~~~"

The mirage dragon shrank its neck in fear, looking at so many Nascent Soul cultivators on the shore while it had been abandoned by its master. It felt extremely aggrieved, and its dragon eyes blinked so hard they looked like they were about to cry!

"Third brother, you are so heartless! What can I say about you?"

Lin Shan sighed deeply. His third brother had gone mad, abandoning even his spirit pet.

So he simply threw out the Soul-Absorbing Rope, tied up the Mirage Dragon, and handed it over to the old toad for safekeeping.

Even a fool would understand that these two are in a life-or-death competition, neither willing to fall behind, risking their lives and fortunes!

As the second brother, he naturally couldn't cut back on his third brother's share. A continuous torrent of star power surged into the star vortex from the star sea, cleansing and tempering Zhong Shenxiu's body on the other side.

Of course, we can't show favoritism to our siblings. The Sunflower Fairy even threw down her scented underwear, how could you not give her star power? That would be unreasonable!

The massive pillar of stellar energy was also surging and transmitting into another stellar vortex.

The two were competing.

On the surface, it appears to be a power struggle between the Holy Lord of Minghuang and the Peace Family, an internal conflict over the next generation of the Holy Land's prodigies.

In reality, the two of them continuously donated all the resources of the Spring and Autumn Sword Sect to Lin Shan, which became the resources for the Seeking Ancient Sect in the future!

"What two bloodsucking monsters! The Spring and Autumn Sword Sect is lucky to have you two!"

Lin Shan happily accepted the money and did the job. Anyway, the starry sea was endless, and even if the two of them could eventually become great supernatural beings, that would be their own ability.

Besides the two of them, all the other Star Vortex recipients also threw down their treasures to varying degrees, and even Mu Yan was no exception.

Lin Shan didn't expend much energy here; he had reached a crucial juncture in his transformation into his primordial spirit!
The main body remained unmoved, while a small, luminous figure sat cross-legged three feet above its head, its soul enveloped in raging red lotus flames that continuously burned it.

The little figure grew smaller and smaller, compressed to the extreme, silently enduring unspeakable torment in the fire, gradually changing from its original gray to blue.

This process lasted only a short time, exactly eighty-one days!
The effects of the Lotus Fire Nirvana Pill had just worn off.

The light and shadow became somewhat blurry at this moment, and behind it, countless shadows overlapped together, like an infinite stacking of the Tyndall effect, arranged sideways in rows of sculptures.

"Crack~"

A lamp was lit in the secret room.

The direction of light and shadow immediately changed, with the shadows layering from dark to light on the backlit side, extending to the end of the wall.

Snap~Snap~Snap~Snap~Snap~
As the surrounding lights continued to illuminate the room, the direction of the shadows shifted, until finally the entire chamber was as bright as day! All the shadows converged upon him, and a powerful soul pressure instantly spread out!

hum-

Within a radius of a hundred miles, all the grass and trees bowed their heads and bent their backs as if swept by a gale, and all the animals were fleeing frantically, sensing the extreme danger at the center!
Next, countless rays of light burst forth, like tiny hairs, obscuring all forms and ushering us into a new world, where space was frozen in time!

The plants that were bowing and bending, and the insects and beasts that were running and fleeing, all froze instantly. This was because they were suppressed at the soul level, as if each of them was encased in a soul prison cage!
A soft, suppressed groan finally escaped from within, and in a fraction of a second, all light vanished, and the place returned to its original state.

Puff puff puff puff puff~
All the lights in the secret room were turned off. A delicate, transparent blue figure sat cross-legged on top of Lin Shan's body, slowly rotating as it quietly entered a meditative state, sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Primordial Spirit!

This is the primordial spirit. In the process of a cultivator embarking on the path of immortality, the soul transforms into the divine soul, and then the divine soul transforms into the primordial spirit. These are considered the two biggest hurdles in one's life!
Those who can achieve this are absolutely the best of the best.

At the same time, there were definitely no more than a few dozen on the entire continent!

He can be described as a top expert in his field, dominating the world.

Among the myriad beings and countless cultivators, amidst the turbulent currents of the world, who can rival us?
In any era, he would be an absolute leader, invincible, founding a sect, becoming a patriarch of a sacred land, and establishing a foundation for all ages.

Ordinary people cannot help but admire him, and those of the same rank treat him with respect when they meet. He can basically walk sideways in the lower realms, and it is extremely difficult for him to perish!

"So this is the primordial spirit? It is indeed fundamentally different from the divine soul."

In Lin Shan's perception, his new body was like a new life, completely under his control, and even able to survive in the outside world for a long time without any problems after leaving his physical body.

It even replicated the meridians in its body, allowing it to cultivate on its own, no longer relying on the real world, and freely roaming on the soul level.

He established a connection with the void, as if he could easily shatter it and soar freely to the heavens if he so desired!

The range of divine sense enhancement also jumped from ten miles in the Nascent Soul stage to more than a hundred miles!
More importantly, his realm has risen dramatically, reaching a new height.

A new spiritual sea has been opened up within his body!
Unlike the star seas opened up by powerful beings with the help of calamities, this spiritual sea is the very spiritual sea that every Nascent Soul cultivator possesses upon successfully transforming their Nascent Soul during a breakthrough.

Many ordinary innate spiritual beings, after reaching this level, are basically no different from normal people.

You have a spiritual ocean, I have a spiritual ocean, everyone has a spiritual ocean!
Below the primordial spirit, all are ants; the advantages of an innate spiritual body are completely lost!
Only the most outstanding spiritual bodies, or even the legendary Dao bodies, can play a role in the broader realms that follow.

While feeling emotional, Lin Shan discovered that his primordial spirit was extremely weak.

"No, that's not right. I have only just successfully transformed into a primordial spirit and do not yet have any divine essence that I can mobilize. Only by establishing an internal circulation of the primordial spirit can I remotely control and influence all targets within a hundred miles without moving my true body, and obtain the combat power of the primordial spirit stage."

He took out the second pill, the Blood Fiend Returning to Origin Pill.

The pills left behind by Zhang Yunxi were all top-quality, with powerful yet gentle effects, and the potency was controlled with extreme precision, not a bit more or less.

Lin Shan suspected that even with the enhancement panel's intervention, the enhanced pills would be nothing special.

As the Blood Fiend Returning to Origin Pill entered the abdomen, it instantly transformed into two blood-red torrents, which entered the brain and dantian respectively, enveloping and gradually dissolving the soul infant and nascent soul.

A trickle of water flowed out from within, one gray and one blue, which were the soul essence and true essence, converging together in the primordial spirit above the head, then circulating through the body once, before flowing back into the physical body and dispersing into the 108,000 star veins!
This process is repeated seventy-two times, resulting in a new energy that is concentrated and refined!

It can be commanded by the primordial spirit as if it were an extension of its own arm, and its rank can be raised to a higher level. It can sense that it is in perfect harmony with heaven and earth and nature, and has established a stable connection with the void.

Shenyuan!

This is an energy that only a primordial spirit master can possess, which crushes true essence by countless levels, and even a single burst of it can cause monstrous waves.

Now that Lin Shan understands how terrifying this energy is, he feels even more apprehensive about his past actions when he was only at the Nascent Soul stage, when he dared to attack a Primordial Spirit!
The gap is too big.

It's like comparing heaven and earth!

Looking back, those with great supernatural powers realized that being able to stand on equal footing with those in the Nascent Soul stage was an overestimation of them.

If they were to get serious, both being great supernatural powers and spells, they would definitely not be in the same league.

The initial refinement of the divine essence was successful; the next step is the full transformation.

At this point, the Nascent Soul and the Soul Infant face two paths to choose from in the cultivation world: one is to merge into the Primordial Spirit, becoming one and indistinguishable.

The second option is to keep it until it is nurtured into a celestial infant!

The path of the Immortal Infant is not uncharted territory. To put it simply, it involves leaving two clones and cultivating all three simultaneously, making it three times more difficult. When they ascend to immortality, they will all undergo the nourishment of immortal energy and break through at the same time, at which point they can refine an Immortal Dao clone.

However, there is some overlap between the primordial spirit and the nascent soul, because the primordial spirit has all the functions of the nascent soul, and the primordial spirit has more advantages. The nascent soul is somewhat like a cage.

Moreover, due to its infant spirit's characteristic of feeding others, it requires the primordial spirit to constantly provide energy to maintain its advancement, which is somewhat like a burden that holds it back.

Finally, regarding the issue of clones, in this era where primordial spirit avatars are prevalent, primordial spirit clones are somewhat outdated and have been gradually abandoned by the immortal civilization.

Lin Shan never intended to stand out from the crowd; he simply merged the two Nascent Souls into his Primordial Spirit. Otherwise, it would be pointless to have two burdens in his body all the time.

He should focus on cultivating his primordial spirit, improving his strength step by step. Following the current mainstream path is the safest and wisest choice.

The primordial spirit absorbs the nascent soul and takes over everything inside, including the connection with the star sea within the body. From then on, the spiritual sea and the star sea are synchronized, one in the primordial spirit and the other in the physical body. One is used by oneself and the other is rented out to collect rent. This can be considered a benefit of the transitional realm of the great supernatural being.

Divine essence is a highly inclusive energy that can transform into wind, thunder, or stars at will, making it the safest and easiest step in the seven steps of the primordial spirit.

However, it takes a lot of hard work to master it.

This was no challenge for Lin Shan, but at the same time, a new agenda had to be put on the table: the cultivation method for the Nascent Soul stage!

The current Nascent Soul stage cultivation method serves the True Essence. If you want to empower your Divine Essence with attributes and take care of your future cultivation, you need to upgrade your cultivation method.

He opened the enhancement panel, and the ancient charm number in the upper right corner showed: 440 points.

"Strengthening a Nascent Soul stage cultivation technique, a sect-protecting divine power, or a spiritual treasure requires 128 points, which means that my current Ancient Essence reserves can only strengthen a maximum of three techniques!"

It seems that after the primordial spirit stage, if a complete overhaul is desired, it is necessary to quickly go to the Black Lotus Sect and reap a major harvest.

Strengthening which technique first has become the most urgent task.

After much deliberation, he became conflicted.

The "Wind and Thunder True Scripture," the "Divine Illumination Wish Wheel Scripture," and the "Red Falling Meteor Technique" previously represented three different methods of cultivation.

Now that the Nascent Soul and Soul Infant paths have merged, it's enough to keep only one of the first two. Trying to do too much at once will only lead to failure. Either follow the path of wind and thunder attributes, or specialize in the path of soul cultivation.

After much thought, Lin Shan still felt that taking the Wind and Thunder route was the better option.

While soul cultivation is powerful, it's a weakness in physical cultivation. I've always wanted to follow the path of a well-rounded mage, which is the more conventional and less prone to mistakes.

It would be troublesome if it caused kidney deficiency again.

But just as he was about to strengthen the "Wind and Thunder True Scripture", he suddenly remembered that when he was fighting for the Formless Star Cocoon in the Red Dust Star Sea, he seemed to have heard the Bright Emperor Sword Master say that he had seen someone use Wind and Thunder to strike the Void a thousand years ago. It sounded a lot like Ouyang Feng, the abandoned disciple of the Purple Cloud Sect!

If it is this person, doesn't that mean there are readily available Wind and Thunder Techniques for the Nascent Soul stage in this world? (End of Chapter)
