The Immortal Cultivation World Is Too Dangerous: I Return to Earth as a Divine Sage Chapter 36

Chapter 36

After confirming that the humanoid elixir was the Nine Extres Fruit, Ye Yang’s mood was as exhilarated as when he first saw the top-tier supre elixir, the Life-Extending Flower.

If the Life-Extending Flower could grant Ye Yang an endless lifespan comparable to that of a Longevity Body, then the Nine Extres Fruit could make him possess the strongest combat power within his realm.

It could be said that with the Nine Extres Fruit, even without the cheat-like abilities of the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Record, Ye Yang would still be the strongest in his realm. Even those with the most powerful special physiques couldn’t compare to him.

In the cultivation world, so of the top sects possess secret techniques like the Second Golden Core or Second Nascent Soul. Once successfully cultivated, these techniques allow a cultivator to have two Golden Cores in the Golden Core Realm, two Nascent Souls in the Nascent Soul Realm, or two Divine Souls in the Soul Transformation Realm.

Having two Golden Cores, two Nascent Souls, or two Divine Souls doesn’t just double one’s combat power in the sa realm—it’s far more than a simple one-plus-one equation. It could be said that mastering such a secret technique would instantly boost combat power by ten tis or more.

It’s like if you normally have the strength of 100 pounds, and suddenly gain another 100 pounds of strength. Previously, you could defeat soone with the sa 100 pounds of strength in a one-on-one fight. Now, with 200 pounds, could you only defeat two such opponents?

Moreover, mastering these secret techniques doesn’t affect one’s cultivation speed. In many cultivation novels, techniques like the Second Golden Core are described as increasing combat power but doubling the difficulty of breaking through. In reality, this isn’t the case.

Mastering a Second Golden Core doesn’t increase the difficulty of breaking through. In fact, it can even enhance cultivation speed. Can one Golden Core absorb more spiritual energy from heaven and earth than two Golden Cores?

The Nine Extres Fruit is a heavenly treasure that allows one to develop a Second Golden Core without needing to cultivate such secret techniques. And it doesn’t stop at just one—it can potentially create up to nine.

In other words, by consuming the Nine Extres Fruit, one could directly possess nine Golden Cores upon entering the Golden Core Realm, nine Nascent Souls in the Nascent Soul Realm, or nine Divine Souls in the Soul Transformation Realm. Having even one more Golden Core, Nascent Soul, or Divine Soul makes one’s combat power incomparable to others. With eight more? That’s basically invincible.

It could be said that, even with the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Record, in the early stages when special physiques are scarce, one’s combat power wouldn’t match that of soone who has consud the Nine Extres Fruit. Only in the late stages, when the number of special physiques amplifies the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Record’s effects sufficiently, could one potentially rival the combat power of soone who has consud the Nine Extres Fruit.

Of course, like the Life-Extending Flower, the Nine Extres Fruit, as a top-tier supre elixir, has its limitations. The Life-Extending Flower’s limitation is that it attracts heavenly punishnt, under which it is ultimately destroyed.

The limitation of the Nine Extres Fruit lies in the Mortalization Tribulation when breaking through from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Soul Transformation Realm. If one maximizes the Nine Extres Fruit’s potential, gaining eight additional Nascent Souls, they would need to endure nine Mortalization Tribulations in a row—and all nine must be successfully overco.

If even one attempt fails, those with top-tier special physiques would have to start over. Those without such physiques would perish outright. Thus, throughout history in the cultivation world, no one has dared to maximize the Nine Extres Fruit’s potential by gaining eight additional Golden Cores or Nascent Souls.

Surviving nine consecutive Mortalization Tribulations is sothing even top-tier special physiques can’t withstand. There’s a high chance that even they would exhaust their lifespan and perish in the endless tribulations.

So might think that since the Mortalization Tribulation is a trial, one could consu the Nine Extres Fruit after becoming a Soul Transformation cultivator, directly gaining eight Divine Souls. But the Nine Extres Fruit’s drawbacks aren’t so easily bypassed. Even if consud in the Soul Transformation Realm after passing one Mortalization Tribulation, the remaining eight would still require undergoing the Mortalization process and tribulation again. Failure would lead to being lost in the tribulation, ultimately resulting in death.

However, even though no one has ever maximized the Nine Extres Fruit’s effects, its value is unquestionable. Nine Golden Cores, nine Nascent Souls, or nine Divine Souls is too difficult, so reducing the number is an option.

Take top-tier special physiques as an example. They can typically use the Nine Extres Fruit to gain three to four additional Golden Cores. With four to five Nascent Souls, their combat power at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm could rival or even slay ordinary Soul Transformation powerhouses.

This enhancent is absolutely terrifying. And combat power is only secondary. The increased cultivation speed from having multiple Golden Cores or Nascent Souls is equally astounding, allowing soone with a top-tier special physique to cultivate several tis faster.

If Ye Yang were in the cultivation world, even if he discovered the Nine Extres Fruit, he would likely only dare to use one-ninth or two-ninths of its effects. After all, without a top-tier special physique, he wouldn’t have much confidence in surviving too many Mortalization Tribulations.

But on Earth, Ye Yang had no such concerns. On Earth, there’s no need to face the Mortalization Tribulation. He could directly break through to the Soul Transformation Realm, bypassing the usual obstacles.

By fully catalyzing the Nine Extres Fruit’s spiritual energy, he could consu it and maximize its effects, gaining nine Golden Cores—or rather, since he was currently only in the Qi Refining Realm, nine spiritual energy vortexes.

“With nine additional vortexes, plus my original one, ten vortexes in total, even at mid-Qi Refining, I could easily defeat late-Qi Refining or even peak Qi Refining cultivators, right?

“And if I later cultivate the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Record, activating its cheats, combined with the power of the Nine Extres Fruit, wouldn’t killing Foundation Establishnt cultivators in the Qi Refining Realm, Golden Core cultivators in the Foundation Establishnt Realm, or Soul Transformation cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm be effortless?”

Looking at the Nine Extres Fruit, Ye Yang began to imagine the combat power he’d gain after consuming it.

“Let’s keep looking. There might be other top-tier elixirs.”

A few monts later, Ye Yang cald himself and continued examining the other heavenly elixirs before him. However, perhaps because the first elixir was a top-tier supre one, exhausting his luck, the subsequent elixirs were mostly low-grade. Although they were mid- or high-grade low-tier elixirs, Ye Yang was still dissatisfied.

Having been stimulated by a top-tier supre elixir, these low-grade elixirs could no longer stir his heart.

Ti passed slowly.

Five minutes later, Ye Yang had finished examining all 167 elixirs brought by Yao Lai. Apart from the initial Nine Extres Fruit, there was only one high-grade high-tier elixir. The rest were all mid- or low-tier elixirs.

The high-grade high-tier elixir was useless to Ye Yang. It was a lifespan-increasing elixir that could add 3,000 years to one’s life. But for Ye Yang, who possessed an endless supply of life-extending spiritual dew, lifespan was the least of his concerns, making this elixir utterly redundant.

Thus, Ye Yang could only plan to sell this high-grade high-tier elixir later, once his cultivation improved and he returned to the cultivation world, exchanging it for materials he needed.

“Your elixirs include one top-tier elixir, one high-tier elixir, 55 mid-tier elixirs, and 110 low-tier elixirs.”

“They’re worth a total of 114,500 Kunlun Points.”

After assessing all the elixirs, Ye Yang looked at Yao Lai and spoke solemnly.

“Yes.”

Hearing the value Ye Yang announced, Yao Lai imdiately responded respectfully.

“Hm. The points have been transferred to your identity jade token. You may use them to exchange for whatever items you wish.”

Ye Yang nodded at Yao Lai, then with a wave of his hand, stored all of Yao Lai’s elixirs into his storage ring.
