"The transformation from postnatal to innate does not depend on the quality of the magical treasure, but rather... on the acceptance of Heaven and Earth. Therefore, the essence of the Qiankun Tripod is not as a cauldron for artifact refining, but as a ritual vessel for making offerings to Heaven."
The Heavenly Emperor Body pointed to the Qiankun Tripod and said.
Zhang nodded slightly, then asked in confusion, "What is the difference between postnatal and innate magical treasures?"
The Heavenly Emperor Body shook his head and said, "The inscription doesn’t say, and I have no way of knowing. What’s written here is actually the ritual and the scriptures for the offering."
Everyone looked at the Qiankun Tripod, each lost in thought.
It was Master Pang who spoke up, "No matter what, we should still give it a try."
Zheng Fa thought the sa. Even though there was little information now, he wasn’t sure if the power of the Immortal Slaying Sword Formation would increase significantly after transforming from postnatal to innate.
But at this point in ti, any thod that might strengthen the Jiushan Sect was crucial.
"So, do we just prepare for a ceremony?"
"It’s not that simple." The Heavenly Emperor Body shook his head, "Firstly, the ceremony requires soone to recite the incantations, and we have to learn the inscriptions on this. Secondly, it’s more troubleso."
"The ceremony requires a lot of spiritual materials and even magical artifacts."
"Does it require money?" Master Pang said boldly, "Isn’t the current savings of the Jiushan Realm enough?"
"It’s not a matter of money."
The Heavenly Emperor Body pointed to the inscription on the Qiankun Tripod and said, "There’s sothing ntioned here called Xuanhuang Jade. Have you heard of it, Master?"
"...I don’t know."
"And this magical treasure called the Heavenly Flag, can you refine it, Master?"
"..."
Master Pang fell silent, and the others understood the key issue.
Deciphering the text does not an one can truly grasp all the details of the ceremony, especially concerning specific spiritual materials and magical treasures.
"Between the first epoch and the second epoch, there’s a huge gap in the history of the Xuanwei Realm." The Heavenly Emperor Body said helplessly, "To restore the ceremony, we need to make clear every term, even every word, in it and recreate the necessary spiritual materials and magical treasures..."
"But there aren’t many records left from the first epoch." Xiao Yuying frowned, "Even the sa spiritual material has different nas at different tis. If we try everything one by one, how long will it take?"
"It depends on whether I can obtain the corresponding information within the Nine Luminaries Heaven."
...
Zheng Fa slowly awakened in the Purple Cloud Palace of the Nine Luminaries Heaven.
He looked around and found that there was no one around, and it was empty behind him with the ditation cushion right by the temple door.
...Well, he indeed took last place.
The position of the ditation cushion was actually dynamically changing— as the deeper the comprehension of the listeners, the more Golden Flowers absorbed, the cushion advances accordingly.
Looking at the back of the Lu Clan’s elder, Zheng Fa understood why he lagged behind.
At first, he focused on comprehending the runes on the Golden Flower, but later, he spent all his ti on recordings, which naturally led to the least progress compared to others who were dedicated to listening to the teaching.
Initially, the difference in comprehension among the audience was small, so the positions didn’t change much, but now, more than a year later, the gap beca apparent.
He looked up at the Hong Jun Taoist, recalling the video lectures he had studied before— although in the Purple Cloud Palace, he was just an underperforr, in the modern world, he secretly caught up.
He had watched these lectures two or three tis before.
This was the first ti the Hong Jun Taoist was teaching, and it was mainly about cultivation thods.
Of course, his teachings were different from Zheng Fa’s.
As a Daoist Ancestor and among the three thousand guests in the Purple Cloud, who didn’t have a background? Most of them were born as Immortals, and didn’t need anything like Qi Refinent, Core Formation, or Nascent Soul Formation!
Hong Jun Taoist started with how to beco an Immortal.
"...Golden signifies the undying nature; Dan represents the perfect form. The Dao of the Golden Immortal involves condensing the essence of the Dan, gathering the origin. Through the rotation of Five Elents, with Water and Fire in harmony, Wind and Thunder raging, forging an Undying Golden Body."
Now the Hong Jun Taoist had reached the stage of teaching about Golden Immortals.
Zheng Fa listened attentively, but felt a bit perplexed— what Hong Jun Taoist was saying didn’t match the steps of his current cultivation.
In the Xuanwei Realm, after the Dao Fruit, there are only the stages of Independent Immortal, True Immortal, Golden Immortal, and Taiyi (or Daluo).
But Hong Jun Taoist included Independent Immortal, then subdivided into Earth Immortal, Heavenly Immortal, without True Immortal.
Creation Taoist and others couldn’t understand, and looked confused. Even though Zheng Fa understood, he found it perplexing.
And many of the cultivation thods seed subtly different as well.
For instance, the theory of the Five Elents rotation for Golden Immortals, Zheng Fa had comprehended it before even reaching Core Formation, and during Core Formation, had first experienced the unity of Yin and Yang.
Listening to Hong Jun’s teaching, Zheng Fa felt that while they both aid for the sa thing, the later thods of cultivation appeared to have reorganized the content of this lecture, with order and steps differing greatly— it felt like simplifying university-level knowledge for primary school textbooks.
Thus, Zheng Fa surprisingly grasped many things far beyond his current level.
Hong Jun Taoist continued:
"In the Taiyi Realm, the three flowers return as a reflection, refining Qi, Spirit, and Essence into one, with the five energies converging at the origin, and the three flowers gathering at the top. When the three treasures of Essence, Qi, and Spirit are harmoniously united, connecting the mysterious pass of Heaven and Earth, one becos a Taiyi Golden Immortal."
This... was sowhat similar to the enlightennt he had during Divinity Transformation.
Of course, what Hong Jun Taoist taught was more profound, essential, and even more complete, so as Zheng Fa listened, he gradually beca engrossed.
...
The elder of the Lu Clan, ahead, glanced at Zheng Fa’s movents and couldn’t help but secretly ridicule.
He was focused on learning, but paid more attention to Shi Nandang— for the Lu Clan, Shi Nandang was now the greatest enemy.
