Chapter 466 Opening the Dazhou Cultivation World

Lady Yan Zi had ample experience in purifying spiritual power. She spoke calmly, "To refine the spiritual power of a Golden Core cultivator, aside from those peerless geniuses blessed with a Dao Body, ordinary individuals have only 3 methods."

"The first method involves splitting spiritual roots. Your Ice Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root), being a mutated variant of dual water and wood spiritual roots, can be re-differentiated into separate water and wood spiritual roots."

"However, this method carries an immense price. To re-differentiate your spiritual roots, you must not only seek the secret art from the Ji Clan, but also spend 3 60-year cycles reforging your spiritual roots and Golden Core."

The second path involves comprehending the mysteries of Variant Spiritual Roots to uncover their deeper secrets. For instance, your Ice Spiritual Root (Spiritual Root) could lead you to perceive the power of Profound Ice—an extraordinarily profound force far purer than the spiritual energy cultivated through ordinary spiritual roots.

The third type is the 5 Meridians Heaven-Forging Pill. This 5 Meridians Heaven-Forging Pill is a fifth-rank treasure elixir, possessing the miraculous effect of condensing spiritual power.

As Lady Yan Zi recounted the tale in her melodious voice, the effects of these 3 methods soon became clear to all.

The method of splitting spiritual roots was profoundly mysterious. Once 1 chose this path, Lila (Person Name) would have to rebuild her cultivation base accumulated over hundreds of years from scratch. The price was far too great, making this approach an inferior strategy.

The intermediate method involves using the 5 Meridians Heaven-Molding Elixir. Crafting this elixir requires consuming the exceedingly rare 5 Meridians Divine Jade, a feat only a Nascent Soul True Monarch could accomplish. Moreover, only cultivators with corresponding spiritual roots can utilize it.

Yan Ziji possessed a Fire Spirit Root, yet she utilized the 5 Meridians Heaven-Forging Pill. Back then, the Ji Clan had refined the 5 Meridians Heaven-Forging Pill using the Fire Vein Spirit Jade.

After consuming the Fire Vein Tempering Heaven Pill, the purity of her spiritual power doubled, enabling her to successfully forge the Nascent Soul realm.

Comprehending the power of Profound Ice is indeed a superior path. However, this power is exceptionally profound. Generally, only powerful Nascent Soul True Monarchs can barely glimpse its threshold, and achieving this requires extraordinarily rare serendipity.

Lila's current cultivation level was far too low, making this an exceedingly difficult task to accomplish.

After saying that, Yan Zi Ji smiled bitterly and added, "The downside of having a mutated spiritual root is that, unlike the 5 elemental jades, the Ice Vein Jade in the world has almost vanished. That’s why hardly anyone has ever succeeded in refining the Ice Vein Heaven-Molding Pill (Spiritual Object)."

"At least within the Eastern Wastelands (Location), I have never heard of such a supreme treasure."

Lila's face turned deathly pale, revealing a trace of despair.

From a little beggar, she had arduously cultivated to this day, all for the sake of seeking the opportunity to forge a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul.

But now, not to mention the Heavenly Dao Qi (Spiritual Root) being nowhere in sight, merely purifying her magic power and obtaining treasures to transcend the tribulation were nearly insurmountable obstacles for her.

Observing her expression, Yan Zijie smiled bitterly. "For us cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots (Spiritual Root) and Variant Spiritual Roots, the path before the Golden Core realm is smoother by over a hundredfold compared to ordinary practitioners."

Yet, as 1's cultivation reaches profound realms, the difficulty to advance further grows exponentially immense. Perhaps this is the price of gain—for every ascent, a steeper path awaits.

Beside them, Eldrin’s gaze was deep and contemplative. After a moment of silent deliberation, he turned to the Ethereal Mist Immortal and spoke, “Your insight is vast and profound, Immortal 1. I humbly seek your guidance.”

Upon hearing this, Lila (Person Name) also lifted her gaze and looked over, a flicker of anticipation coloring her expression.

"Alas."

Lingxu Xianzi (Person Name) let out a soft sigh, for she truly had no better solution at hand.

However, superior-grade Golden Cores are exceptionally rare in this world. Such innate talent is ultimately destined for a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul. Even if there is but a sliver of hope, 1 must strive for it, lest regrets linger.

At this thought, she spoke up, "Ice-attributed heavenly treasures and spirit treasures are exceptionally rare in this world. I'm afraid only the extreme northern ice plains could be considered truly abundant in such rarities."

As for the Icy Vein Spirit Jade, legend tells of its presence within the 100-million-year-old glaciers deep in the polar ice plains, where some have discovered fifth-grade ice-attribute terrestrial veins.

Seeing the delight on everyone’s faces, Lingxu (Person Name) shook her head again and said, “But the cultivation world of the Far North Ice Plains is remote, and my knowledge of it is limited.”

"It is known that there resides an Ancient Ice Silkworm Demon Ancestor who has lived for tens of thousands of years. Its strength ranks among the top 10 Dao Lords in this realm. Should you venture there, you must exercise utmost caution."

Everyone’s expressions shifted slightly. A primordial ice silkworm that had lived for tens of thousands of years—surely that meant it predated even the current Dao Calendar.

Lila nodded and bowed respectfully, saying, "Many thanks for your guidance, True Lord."

"There's no need for such courtesy." Immortal Lingxu smiled faintly. "With your extraordinary aptitude and Fellow Cultivator Chen's support, even if you don't achieve the Heavenly Path Nascent Soul, you'll undoubtedly join our ranks someday. Consider this my gesture of goodwill."

The matter was thus temporarily laid to rest. Suppressing his thoughts, Eldrin recalled the purpose of their visit and inquired anew, "By the way, what brings you to seek us out this time?"

Yan Zi and Lingxu exchanged a glance before Yan Zi finally spoke. "We’ve come today to discuss the matter of establishing a nation."

Upon hearing this, Eldrin's eyes flickered slightly. In the Eastern Wastelands, only Nascent Soul True Monarchs were qualified to establish nations and carve out continents.

During this period, they had seized control of 3 fifth-grade spirit veins: Lingxu Mountain, Ziyuan Lake, and Qinglian Isle. Among these fifth-grade spirit veins, many fourth-grade spirit veins had also fallen under their dominion.

Now, the territory of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization) alone encompasses 4 demon king domains: the Scarlet Scorpion Ridge, the Ancient Bison Plains, the Celestial Vessel Mountains, and others.

In addition, the territories controlled by Azure Lotus Isle, Celestial Ruins Province, and Earth Lion Ridge had already expanded to twice the size of the Chu Kingdom.

Yan Zi Ji and Lingxu Xianzi also seized vast territories, with the lands they obtained not much smaller than those of the Chen Immortal Clan (Organization). Each of their domains was considerably larger than the entire Chu Kingdom (Location).

Even disregarding the vast territories unsuitable for establishing cultivation realms, the lands they occupied still exceeded the size of 5 Chu Kingdoms.

With such a vast territory, boasting over a dozen fourth-order spirit mountains, it would be more than suitable not only to establish a new nation but even to carve out an entirely new continent.

After discussing the matter, Lingxu Fairy and Yan Zi Ji jointly decided to establish a new nation and continent.

Just then, Fairy Lingxu declared, "The 2 of us intend to establish 2 new immortal cultivation nations by relying on this fifth-order spirit vein and our territories."

"I have come to discuss a proposal with you all. Should you also intend to establish a nation, let us merge the 3 cultivation kingdoms to form a new continent."

"Establishing a new human territory beyond the Ji Continent is a monumental undertaking that benefits our entire race. Should we succeed, we shall be blessed with the favor of providence, making our future cultivation paths markedly smoother."

Upon hearing this, Lyra (Person Name) narrowed her eyes slightly and spoke with gravity, "Establishing a kingdom is 1 matter, but carving out a new cultivation realm on a continent is no trivial affair. Once we proceed, the demonic tribes will hardly stand idly by. I fear we may not be able to defend it when the time comes."

"That is precisely why I have sought you out to establish a new continent together.

Lingxu Xianzi spoke up, "Truth be told, we ourselves lack confidence in this matter. That is why we sought out Eldrin and Lyra—to share the pressure coming from the demon tribes."

She explained the situation clearly and continued, "Now that the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) is severely wounded, this is our best opportunity."

Eldrin was also somewhat tempted. Once they established a new continent for humanity, as pioneers of this nascent cultivation realm, they would undoubtedly receive the blessings of providence.

In this realm, providence is far from an abstract concept. Should they gain the favor of destiny, not only would breakthroughs feel divinely guided, but they would also be more likely to encounter legendary opportunities in the future.
