Chapter 556 : Comprehending the Dao Body, Deducing Cultivation Methods

Chen Fusu set down the ancient scroll, his expression turning grave.

He pondered for a moment before finally saying, "Since this is the decree of the Ancestor, Fusu naturally complies."

Seeing him agree, Eldrin nodded with a smile. "The Ancient Canghai Scroll isn't the most compatible with your Tri-Source Dao Body. From now on, you shall cultivate by my side so I may gradually refine your cultivation method using the Ancient Canghai Scroll as its foundation."

"Many thanks, Ancestral Elder."

Chen Fusu prostrated himself on the ground, his face lighting up with ecstatic delight.

To receive personal guidance from a True Monarch—what a heaven-sent opportunity of immense magnitude.

Seeing him nod, Eldrin casually bestowed a few treasures and said, "You may withdraw now. I shall summon you again in a few days."

"As you command."

As Chen Fusu departed, Lyra (Person Name) glanced sideways and remarked, "It's rare to see you so devoted, patiently nurturing the younger generation."

Eldrin (Person Name) smiled faintly and said, "Such fine jade still requires meticulous carving to reveal its true brilliance. Allowing it to grow untended would be a waste of extraordinary innate talent."

"So it is."

Lyra nodded slightly. "Indeed, not all who possess heaven-defying talents can advance further along the path."

Throughout the ancient realm, there were actually quite a few prodigies with Dao Bodies. However, many of them would perish before reaching the Nascent Soul stage. Even among those who achieved something, most only attained a Mortal-grade Nascent Soul. Those who managed to achieve an Earth-grade Nascent Soul could already be considered to have encountered extraordinary fortune.

It was even rarer for someone like Daoist Xiangzi to obtain the Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root), as such cases could not be measured by conventional standards.

Suppressing his thoughts, Eldrin said nothing more and returned to his secluded cultivation chamber to begin consolidating the insights gained from this Dao Discourse.

In the blink of an eye, 3 months had passed, and Eldrin began personally instructing Chen Fusu and Lu Wenyan in their cultivation.

That day, Eldrin summoned the 2 individuals. Gazing at Lu Wenyuan and Chen Fusu, he said, "Both of you possess unique constitutions. To fully unleash the power of your Dao Bodies, it would be best to cultivate techniques that are most compatible with them."

"Allow me to examine your Dao Bodies, so I may devise cultivation techniques tailored specifically for you."

"Wenyuan, step forward."

"As you command."

Lu Wenyuan nodded and stepped forward.

Eldrin reached out and grasped Lu Wenyuan's wrist, sending a wisp of divine sense into his physical body to begin probing the profound mysteries of this 4 Symbols Dao Body (Spiritual Root).

"This is..."

After a brief observation, a slight frown creased Eldrin's brow, his expression growing solemn.

After carefully observing Lu Wenyuan's Dao Body, he discovered that it was innately engraved with Dao patterns. Each strand of these patterns was profoundly intricate, so much so that even Eldrin found them somewhat inscrutable and profound.

These Dao patterns were profound and intricate. By comprehending them thoroughly, 1 could gain insight into the 4 emblematic secret forces, and even advance further to glimpse the power of the 4 Extremities Laws.

Eldrin murmured inwardly, feeling a sudden spark of enlightenment as he gained a profound new understanding of the 4 elemental forces: fire, metal, wood, and water.

Though this still fell considerably short of mastering all 4 arcane forces, it had already granted Eldrin substantial gains and profound enlightenment.

"I originally intended to nurture talented juniors out of appreciation for their potential, yet observing the profundity of the Dao Body unexpectedly provided insights to advance my own cultivation."

"If I can thoroughly comprehend the 4 Symbols Dao Body (Spiritual Root) and extract its essence to enrich my own foundation, it would greatly benefit my efforts to deduce new cultivation techniques."

"Truly, every sip and every peck is bound by fate."

Eldrin murmured inwardly, steadying his mind as he began to contemplate the Dao Body.

Lu Wenyuan's cultivation was merely at the Foundation Establishment realm, and the profundity of his Dao Body had not yet fully manifested. With Eldrin's (Person Name) innate comprehension, it took only a moment for him to memorize roughly 70 to 80 percent of these Dao patterns.

After a long while, Eldrin withdrew his hand and said, "Return to your cultivation for now. Once I have perfected this cultivation method, I shall impart it to you."

"I understand, Master."

After Lu Wenyuan departed, Eldrin continued to examine Chen Fusu's Dao Body.

Just as Eldrin had anticipated, Chen Fusu’s physique provided him with unexpected enlightenment.

After the 2 had departed, he began to ceaselessly deduce and refine, crafting the most suitable cultivation techniques for them.

With Eldrin's current foundation and cultivation level, creating low-tier techniques was as easy as looking down from a high vantage point. He could even devise a method for the Golden Core Realm without much difficulty.

Thus, in merely 7 days, he created the most suitable cultivation method for Lu Wenyuan's Dao Body—the 4 Symbols True Art.

This technique converges the power of the 4 Symbols, capable of cultivation up to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, and even encompasses 4 divine abilities.

Still unsatisfied, Eldrin (Person Name) spent another month and successfully advanced the 4 Symbols True Art (Cultivation Method) to the Great Perfection stage of the Purple Mansion (Cultivation Realm).

And there it stopped. It wasn't that he couldn't continue the deduction, but Lu Wenyuan's cultivation was still too low. The subsequent dao patterns of the 4 Symbols True Art were still evolving, and deducing the Golden Core chapter now might not suit his cultivation.

Moreover, it would take Lu Wenyuan over a 100 years to reach Great Perfection in the Zi Palace. He could return later to observe and deduce further.

After perfecting the 4 Symbols True Art, Eldrin once again set out to create Chen Fusu's cultivation technique.

The Tri-Primordial Dao Body was also profoundly mysterious. It took him over a month of diligent effort to fully deduce this cultivation art to the Perfected Purple Mansion realm.

After creating 2 cultivation techniques, Eldrin summoned 2 individuals and handed them the 2 scrolls.

He looked at Lu Wenyuan and said, "The cultivation art I have created for you is named the 4 Symbols True Art. This method can lead 1 to the Great Perfection of the Purple Mansion realm, and it enables the simultaneous cultivation of 4 types of spiritual power: metal, wood, water, and fire. It also possesses a profound effect on tempering the physical body."

This cultivation method comes with 4 divine abilities: Vermilion Bird Body Refining, White Tiger Physique Tempering, Black Tortoise Harmony Balancing, and Azure Dragon Vitality Nourishing. When these 4 divine abilities merge into 1, they form the 4 Extremities Body Refinement Art, capable of forging the ultimate physical form.

"This method aligns most perfectly with your Dao Body, making it the most suitable cultivation art for you. Once mastered, the potential of your 4 Symbols Dao Body (Spiritual Root) will be continuously unlocked."

As his words faded, his gaze settled on Chen Fusu once more. "As for you, Fusu, the cultivation art you practice is known as the Triune Dao Scripture."

"This method can converge the 3 primordial energies of essence, qi, and spirit, allowing simultaneous cultivation of the physical body, soul, and magical power. It integrates these 3 aspects into a seamless cycle, perpetually reinforcing the triad of primordial energies."

"If you cultivate it to a profound realm, then your physical body, magic power, and soul will have no shortcomings."

Lu Wenyuan took the cultivation manual, unable to suppress a look of ecstasy.

According to the scripture, the 4 Symbols True Art could also manifest the 4 Extremes True Body, significantly enhancing Lu Wenyuan's physical strength.

Most importantly, its conceptual foundation is extraordinarily profound. Theoretically, if 1 could continuously deduce and refine it in the future, the 4 Symbols True Art would become a grand path to achieving sainthood through physical cultivation.

Chen Fusu's cultivation concept was truly extraordinary. According to Eldrin's vision, when the 3 Primordials Dao Scripture was deduced to its ultimate state, it should converge 1's foundational roots throughout the body, coalescing essence, energy, and spirit into a unified trinity. This would form the flawless Dao Fruit, enabling 1 to become an immortal of the eternal Dao Fruit.
