Chapter 792: Chapter 742: The Real Difficulty of Cultivating the Golden Core Dao
Boom!
Upon feeling the human sacrificial altar with his Primordial God Power, Pei Xuanjing was suddenly hit with a primitive and vast aura, as if it was merging with his soul.
At the same time, he felt his Primordial Spirit was being swirled and wrapped by these ancient energies. Instantly, he wondered if he had fallen into a trap, his robe’s Taixu Mirror began to emit light, attempting to shield him from these savage energies.
However, he quickly found that this unknown aura did not seem to harm him, so he cancelled the isolate function of the Taixu Mirror and started to explore these unknown energies with his Primordial Spirit.
When Pei Xuanjing’s Primordial Spirit truly made contact with these savage energies, he discovered there seemed to be something intriguing hidden within them…
…..
While Pei Xuanjing was truly coming into contact with the human sacrificial altar of the Witch Deity Teaching, many things were happening in the Longevity World.
Pang Hong was wholeheartedly committed to the cultivation of Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill to follow the Golden Core Dao. Once Pei Xuanjing realised his persuasion was in vain, he naturally chose to lend a helping hand to his disciple.
By using his divine abilities, Pei Xuanjing crafted an avatar for Pang Hong in the Longevity World for his Primordial Spirit to reside. This would aid him in understanding the operation of Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill and the intangible Golden Core formed from the convergence of Qi, Spirit, and Essence.
On the other hand, Pei Xuanjing was also employing his supernatural powers to reshape a certain region within the Longevity World. As the creator of this world, Pei Xuanjing was akin to the Great Tao of this world. Adding to that the constant refining of the source of Taixu Venerable, the Longevity World was becoming more powerful.
Soon, he created a Land of Creation. This place was abundant with Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, balanced in the Five Elements, and was beautifully blessed by nature. It was an excellent place for seclusion and cultivation.
Moreover, being the controller of this world, the place created by Pei Xuanjing with his Divine Abilities had no trace of artificiality and was naturally magnificent like the work of deities.
Once all was set, Pei Xuanjing returned to where Pang Hong was in seclusion. With a sweep of his sleeve, the avatar he had previously formed for Pang Hong vanished without a trace, and Pang Hong’s Primordial Spirit returned to his real body.
“Master, thank you.” Pang Hong said, awakening from his cultivation, opening his eyes.
Upon seeing Pei Xuanjing, he immediately knelt down, expressing his gratitude to Pei Xuanjing.
As the one who had experienced it, he knew best the benefits he had gained from implementing Pei Xuanjing’s methodology in the avatar. Aside from other benefits, this whole process led him to truly master the Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill and understand how an intangible Golden Core created from the fusion of Qi, Spirit, and Essence operates.
“Are you ready?” asked Pei Xuanjing.
The benefits obtained from this process were apparent to him. However, the magnitude of these benefits depended on the individual’s understanding. But seeing the confidence in Pang Hong’s eyes, Pei Xuanjing knew that his pupil had reaped great rewards. Thus, he didn’t discuss it further, but merely asked if he was ready.
“Master, I am ready!” Pang Hong nodded his head.
This experience was very fruitful, giving him great confidence in his ability to form the Golden Core next.
“Good, follow me.” Pei Xuanjing nodded, waiting for Pang Hong to rise, before the two of them vanished from where they were.
In the next moment, the two appeared in the Land of Creation that Pei Xuanjing had just opened up.
“This is a place I have created. Here, you can attempt to switch your cultivation path. I have set up a formation here, which can temporarily freeze time’s irrevocable march, so even if you have to discard your skills, your lifespan will not be affected,” Pei Xuanjing said.
For many cultivators, even if given Pei Xuanjing’s Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill, they would still need great determination and resolve to switch cultivation paths because it involves a critical element: lifespan!
A cultivator’s lifespan is limited. Even for powerful cultivators like Pei Xuanjing, who had reached the pinnacle of cultivation, there was still a limit to their lifespan.
A cultivator’s lifespan is tied to their Realm. Each and every advancement in Realm brings an increase in lifespan, blessed by Heaven and Earth. This change allows the cultivator to live longer.
However, should any cultivator, despite their power, allow their Realm to decline, the advancement they originally acquired would vanish, and with it, the added lifespan.
The stronger the cultivator, the less they could afford to backtrack in their Realm. This affected not only their strength but also, more crucially, their life.
This is why many cultivators, even after seeing the power of the Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill and knowing how powerful the Golden Core Dao was, wouldn’t dare to switch their cultivation path without absolute certainty.
That’s because practicing the Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill requires going through a must-step – Dispersion of Cultivation. This step is essential for truly practicing the Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill; otherwise, it would be impossible to form a true Golden Core.
Dispersion of Cultivation, however, is a rather arduous process. The moment of dispersion is the cultivator’s most vulnerable moment. The cultivator would not be able to maintain their peak state, and if the decline in their Realm exceeds the limit of their lifespan, it would result in rapid senility, leading to death.
To be clear, even when Pei Xuanjing dispersed his Realm’s power upon returning from the vast wilderness world and began to cultivate the Golden Core, he instantly aged, with white hair replacing black, wiping out a significant chunk of his lifespan.
This was achieved with the help of a life simulator that allowed him to swiftly regain his powers. However, other regular cultivators would take a much longer period to recultivate, suffer great pain, and even lose their lives.
This is one of the real obstacles that keep many cultivators from converting to the Golden Core Dao.
But now, Pei Xuanjing had eliminated all worries for Pang Hong. He had, by controlling the Heaven and Earth of the Longevity World, momentarily deceived the universe with a formation, pausing the progress of time, and thus enabling his disciple to maintain his peak state during the transition – an opportunity that many cultivators could only dream of.
“Store your power temporarily in this,” Pei Xuanjing said, handing Pang Hong a light sphere. “In doing so, you will be able to retrieve your power swiftly once you have successfully transitioned.”
During the dispersion of his cultivation, Pang Hong could store his Primordial Qi into this unique storage sphere crafted by Pei Xuanjing. This would prevent the Qi from being wasted.
This Primordial Qi, imbued with Pang Hong’s characteristics and imprints, might be unusable by other cultivators. However, even after transitioning to Nine Revolutions Divine Sky Skill, Pang Hong could gradually absorb it, speeding up his recultivation process.
