Chapter 388: Chapter 254: Dream Again (Harvest Summary Transition Chapter)_1
Wandao School, on Golden Turtle Island.
Xu Yang opened his eyes and let out a deep sigh, “Ti is rciless; old friends wither away!”
Two thousand years, though seemingly fleeting, are in fact an imnsely long period of ti.
During this era, the Wandao School inevitably underwent periodic renewal, replacing the old with the new.
Newcors arrived; old-tirs departed!
After all, not all cultivators could practice the Earth Deity Law and master the Longevity Art as he had.
As long ago as five thousand years, when Wandao School was first established, Xu Yang had imparted the Earth Deity Law hoping that a second Earth Deity would erge within the school and create a second Primordial Spirit Land.
But all attempts ended in failure.
Because at that ti, the World of Dao and Law had not yet integrated with the Primordial Spirit World. The world was barren, and the primordial spirits lay dormant. Without skill traits like his to assist, it was essentially impossible to cultivate the Earth Deity Law, create a Spirit Land like the Golden Turtle Island, and use it to extend one’s life.
It wasn’t feasible before the integration of the two worlds, but what about after the rging?
Not very feasible either.
Although the integration made primordial spirits abundant and cultivation techniques complete, the Earth Deity Law still required a divine seal. In the Black Water World, one could either receive it decreed by the “Heavenly Court” or refine it oneself by sorting through feng shui and Earth Aura.
This was an extrely long process—so prolonged that after more than two thousand years, still no one had succeeded in condensing it.
Was it because the Earth Deity Law was incompatible with the land?
Or had the Ancient Immortal Gods of the Dao and Law world left sothing that made the Earth Deity Law of the Black Water World ineffective?
At present, Xu Yang had no definitive conclusion, only knowing that within Wandao School, there was no Earth Deity other than himself.
Without the Longevity Art, such as the Earth Deity Law, the lifespan of cultivators seed quite limited.
Consequently, Xu Yang had no choice but to bid farewell to one old friend after another.
Chu Nan was one such person.
Xu Yang held great appreciation for this junior disciple because of their shared aspirations, and Chu Nan’s passion and pursuit for the Heavenly Crafting Technique and the Spirit-Treasure ch Armor even surpassed his own as the original creator.
For Xu Yang, the Heavenly Crafting Technique was just a spell, a ans to an end—important, but not fundantal. Cultivation still relied on one’s own foundation.
Chu Nan was different, though; he all but equated his life with the Spirit-Treasure ch Armor, dedicating himself to advancing the Heavenly Crafting Technique. As a result, he delayed his cultivation, missing the optimum mont for breaking through to Divinity Transformation.
A Nascent Soul cultivator, ordinarily with a lifespan of rely a thousand years, was already a thousand-year-old Nascent Soul when the two worlds combined. If not for Xu Yang repeatedly bestowing Spirit Pills and other life-extending Spiritual Objects, Chu Nan might not have lasted until the worlds’ union.
After the union, with abundant Heavenly Earth Pri Spirits and complete cultivation techniques, and with his talent, the barrier at the Divinity Transformation stage wasn’t that significant.
However, due to the three Demon Artifacts and the threats from the Lust Realm Demon, Chu Nan had to devote his ti and energy to the affairs of the White Jade Capital, the Demon-locking Tower, ensuring the White Jade Capital’s absolute safety and that the three Demon Artifacts posed no threat to Wandao School.
Regarding this, Xu Yang had no solution either since during that period everyone was in a similar situation, including him, the Taoist Master, who had spent one thousand two hundred years at the remains of the Mysterious Heaven Sect, focusing on comprehending the Mysterious Heaven Array.
The threat from the Lust Realm and the hidden worries of the Heavenly Demons were too great for anyone, high or low, to afford slackness.
Therefore, they all worked diligently on anti-demon thods, and eventually, with the combined power of the three Demon-locking Towers and the three Immortal Spirit ch Armors, they managed to sowhat secure the situation; even Great Demons from the Integration Realm were brazenly repelled by the White Jade Capital.
Their efforts bore fruit, and the effectiveness was significant!
But due to this, Chu Nan’s cultivation suffered delays, and he missed the pri opportunity for a breakthrough. His final attempt failed, and he could only leave with regrets. He headed to the Yin Mountain Mansion to beco a Ghost God and embark on a new existence.
It’s difficult for a Ten Thousand Tribulations Yin Spirit to enter sanctification; the body of a Ghost God and that of a living being have fundantal differences. From then on, without significant support from another, it’s nearly impossible to further progress.
And over ti, with the toxin of incense prayer affecting the Ghost God’s body, even self-identity can change. After a few thousand years, whether he is still the original Chu Nan—perhaps even he himself would find it difficult to discern.
Xu Yang could do nothing about this.
Cultivation bears risks, and breakthroughs must be approached with caution.
In the World of Dao and Law, there may be the Ancestor Master’s Altar and the Luotian Dajiao. By combining many Mana Points, the Three Elents Foundation Building Pill, the Five Elents Gold Binding Pill, the Yin Yang Infant Coagulating Pill, and the Primordial Spirit Liquid have been created. These Spirit Pills can effectively assist one’s breakthrough and ensure life is not lost and the foundation is undamaged, but that’s all they can do.
Foundation Establishnt and Golden Core are manageable; with the aid of Spirit Pills, coupled with the Ancestor Master’s Altar and the Luotian Dajiao, the success rate can reach 99 percent. A failure is almost impossible unless one goes against the natural order egregiously.
But the success rate drops at the Nascent Soul to Divinity Transformation juncture, especially at Divinity Transformation. The Ancestor Master’s Altar and the Luotian Dajiao can no longer provide breakout assistance; they only ensure no loss of life or foundation.
Although Wandao School has now utilized the resources of the Primordial Spirit World and combined the legacies of Ancient Immortal Gates like Mysterious Heaven Sect to develop Primordial Spirit Liquid, this liquid offers only thirty percent support to cultivators. The rest depends on the cultivator’s innate talents.
Although Chu Nan was not lacking in talent, in the end, he fell at this hurdle and inevitably had to transition to a Ghost God and head for the Governors.
What Xu Yang could do was to hand over the “Yin Mountain Mansion” Immortal Spirit ch Armor to him, allowing Chu Nan to continue his passion for the ch industry that he held as precious as life itself, even in the Governors.
It was inevitably regretful.
But there’s no need to be overly sorrowful.
Compared to the old friends from two thousand years ago, Chu Nan could be considered fortunate.
