Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

"Most of what she said in her message is things we already know."

Jing Shu paused for a moment, "The rest also coincides with our previous guess. In the cultivation world, this kind of physique is simply a dead end. There is only a glimmer of hope if it is in a place with scarce spiritual energy like in modern times."

“The thinner the spiritual energy, the less spiritual energy the Spirit Gathering Body can absorb. As long as we don’t cultivate or awaken our spiritual roots, it’s fine. But we’ve already started cultivating, so this method is no longer suitable for us.”

"The only thing we can do now is to lock ourselves in the Secret Realm and explore little by little through this simple and brutal method."

After listening, Yuan Ying remained silent for a while. "I thought Xu Yaoguang had given you a method, and that you were confident... but in the end, it's still the same."

Jing Shu chuckled, "She's not a Spirit Gathering Body, and she's only encountered it once. To be able to figure out so much is already quite impressive."

"I'm entrusting Xiao Jingshu to you as well. It's all thanks to Xu Yaoguang's spiritual essence, otherwise the two of you would have suffered even more than I have."

"Okay, be careful."

This time, the Nascent Soul did not sever the empathy again, and also transmitted the memory of Jingyou's name change.

When Jing Shu saw Jing You say his name was Jing You, he was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, laughing until tears streamed down his face.

The nascent soul knew of Jing Shu's reaction, but ignored him.

"Is Jing Shu alright?" Little Jing Shu knew that Yuan Ying had been silent earlier because he was communicating with Jing Shu, and he had refrained from interrupting. Now that he saw Yuan Ying's furrowed brows relax, he finally spoke up to ask.

The nascent soul shook its head and was about to speak to Xiao Jingshu when a weak voice came from behind.

"Well, I think it's normal for me to open my eyes and check the situation without cultivating, given how big the commotion was, right?" Jing You hesitated for a moment before speaking, looking at the two very different Jing Shus, one big and one small, before asking, "My two older brothers?"

Yuan Ying raised an eyebrow, but Xiao Jing Shu had already stepped forward, jumped up, and wrapped one arm around Jing You's neck.

"Not bad, you've started cultivating so quickly!"

When sharing his memories with Jing Shu, the Nascent Soul also shared his memories with the young Jing Shu.

Knowing that Jing Shu was alright, little Jing Shu was completely relieved. He also learned that Jing You had taken his surname and called him "brother," and little Jing Shu wagged his tail with joy.

Jingyou squatted down to accommodate Xiao Jingshu's movements, making it easier for Xiao Jingshu to hug his neck.

"Yes, yes! It's all done now," Jingyou replied with a smile.

"However, why does he have two older brothers?" He could understand it before as Jing Shu having three personalities, but now it seems that it doesn't seem like that at all, but Jing Shu has indeed only been alone along the way.

"There should be an older brother, right?" Jingyou's eyes widened as he recalled the commotion earlier. "Which older brother made that noise?"

"This..." Xiao Jingshu looked at the nascent soul, hesitating whether to speak.

"Let me explain." The Nascent Soul said, pointing to himself, Xiao Jingshu, and the Jingshu over there, saying, "I am the Nascent Soul, he is the demon core, and the one over there is the main body. By chance, Xiao Jingshu and I separated the main body's consciousness. Theoretically, we are both Jingshu, just with different personalities."

One sentence shocked Jingyou several times: Nascent Soul?! Demon Core?! Split Divine Sense?!

Jingyou clutched his head, "Wait, wait, let me sort this out..."

"Brother, are you a Nascent Soul cultivator? Is it the Nascent Soul cultivator I understand?" Jingyou looked at the Nascent Soul cultivator.

The Nascent Soul nodded. "Yes, Jing Shu's cultivation was originally at the Nascent Soul stage, but due to an accident, he switched to cultivating the Dual Nascent Soul Body, which means cultivating two Nascent Souls from one body. My original body is the Nascent Soul formed from his previous cultivation. And Jing Shu is now cultivating anew."

In fact, after six years of cultivation, coupled with the spiritual essence of Xu Yaoguang, a cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage, his cultivation level and spiritual strength were no longer just at the Nascent Soul stage, but they could not be manifested.

Jingyou was almost stunned, then turned to look at Xiao Jingshu beside him.

"My true form is the core of a fox demon. I don't know my cultivation level. I cultivate demonic power, and I don't know how a demon's cultivation level is calculated."

Before Jingyou could ask any questions, Xiao Jingshu gave an explanation.

“His mental age is only that of a five-year-old. You can ask me any questions,” Yuan Ying added.

Xiao Jingshu nearly exploded upon hearing this, "Who are you calling someone with the IQ of a five-year-old?!"

Jingyou slowly sorted out his thoughts, so his brother really was older than him!

My brother's cultivation level was Nascent Soul! Ordinary people would be at least fifty years old to reach the Nascent Soul stage. Even if my brother is a genius, he would definitely be forty years old by now!

Plus, my brother had to repeat his studies again, which added another six years. All things considered, my brother is probably over fifty by now! Calling him "Dad" wouldn't be a problem at all!

"What are you thinking about?" Yuan Ying looked at Jing You's increasingly strange expression.

"I was thinking of calling you Dad." Jingyou realized he'd blurted out his true feelings as soon as he finished speaking, and quickly waved his hand, saying, "No, no. That's not what I meant. I meant that you're probably over fifty, brother. Hey, no, I mean, brother, you really are older than me!"

Yuan Ying's lips twitched after hearing this, and he walked over and slapped Jing You on the head again. "Wake up! I'm only thirty-one this year! I'm only six years older than you."

Xiao Jingshu was also speechless, so he did not stop the Nascent Soul.

Over fifty?! How could that be?!

Jingyou clutched his head, wincing in pain, "I was wrong, brother, I was wrong!"

He knew his brother was a genius, but he didn't know his brother was this genius.

"So... what was that guy doing? How did he suddenly unleash so much spiritual energy?" Jingyou changed the subject and asked the original question.

The nascent soul paused for a moment, then said ambiguously, "He is learning to control himself."

"Mind your own business. Children shouldn't interfere in adult matters!"

The Nascent Soul cultivator didn't reveal the existence of the Spirit Gathering Body, and even though Jing You had sworn an oath, it wasn't allowed. No one except himself could know about this. This was for his own sake, and also for the safety of those around him.

"What I've said to you today, and everything that happened here, you must not tell anyone about it after we leave. You mustn't even mention it, including me," the Nascent Soul said solemnly.

"Brother, don't worry, I won't say a single word. And I've sworn that I won't do anything that would harm you." Jingyou knew the saying "possessing a treasure invites trouble," so he patted his chest and said to Jingshu.

Xiao Jingshu looked at Jingyou with eyes full of praise and pride. Look, this is the person he saved.

Jingyou's eyes darted around, and he raised his hand, saying, "I have one last question."

"Speak," the Nascent Soul said.

"Brother, does your master, Immortal Venerable Hanluo, know your real age?"
