Were there any existences in the cultivation world that had achieved True Spirit?
Lu Ping himself had believed from the beginning that there was a Laozu that had achieved True Spirit in this world, but he had never been able to verify it.
Lu Ping had once asked Celestial Phenomenon Laozu about this question. Although Celestial Phenomenon Laozu had never truly verified these things, he still believed that Laozu, who had achieved True Spirit, existed in the cultivation world.
Although a Grand Ginseng Laozu had appeared in Zhenling's history, Grand Ginseng Laozu had only appeared for a short time, like a shooting star. After achieving True Spirit, he had disappeared without a trace and did not leave behind too much information for Zhenling. Otherwise, even if Grand Ginseng Laozu, who had achieved True Spirit, had stayed in Zhenling for thirty to fifty years, the foundation he had left behind would not have taken Zhenling six thousand years to finally have the opportunity to become a large sect.
It had to be said that Grand Ginseng Laozu had contributed a lot to Zhenling back then. Before he had achieved True Spirit, he had already been the Pure Yang Laozu, whose name had shaken the entire cultivation world. This kind of person had once raised Zhenling's strength and made a huge contribution to the growth of its foundation.
Originally, with the things that Grand Ginseng Laozu had brought to Zhenling, it was completely possible for Zhenling to become a large sect six thousand years ago and pass down its strong foundation in one fell swoop.
However, at that time, Grand Ginseng Laozu had wholeheartedly wanted to reach the True Spirit Realm, so Zhenling had naturally supported him with all their strength. Moreover, they were looking forward to Grand Ginseng Laozu becoming a True Spirit, Zhenling's strength and status would increase in Zhenling, even suppressing the only large sect in the northern sea, the Fei Ling Sect.
In order for this Grand Ginseng to successfully reach the True Spirit Realm, the entire Zhenling could be said to have used all their strength to help Grand Ginseng Laozu. The foundation that Grand Ginseng Laozu had accumulated for Zhenling was not only taken out at this time, he had also placed all the foundation accumulated by the previous generations of Zhenling cultivators on Grand Ginseng Laozu.
Zhenling was gambling, gambling on the rewards Grand Ginseng Laozu would receive after successfully reaching the True Spirit Realm. As long as Grand Ginseng Laozu reached the True Spirit Realm, in the eyes of the entire Zhenling, Zhenling would definitely welcome an unprecedented glory.
But the final result made all of Zhenling want to cry. Grand Ginseng Laozu was indeed worthy of being the most outstanding cultivator in Zhenling's ten thousand years of inheritance. It was true that he had successfully reached the True Spirit Realm, but before Zhenling could excitedly prepare for the most glorious moment since the founding of the sect, just a year later, Grand Ginseng Laozu had no choice but to leave this world.
The situation at that time was extremely sudden. It was said that as soon as Grand Ginseng Laozu stabilized his True Spirit Realm, he was immediately strongly rejected by this world. In order to not be destroyed by this world, Grand Ginseng Laozu had no choice but to leave the northern ice plains, following the footprints left by the Seventh Patriarch when the heavens were first opened.
Grand Ginseng Laozu's sudden departure was undoubtedly a huge blow to the confident Zhenling. Zhenling who had just seen the hope of rising was immediately suppressed by the sects of the northern sea, led by the Flying Spirit Sect.
Fortunately, even though Grand Ginseng Laozu had only reached the True Spirit Realm for a short year, he had left behind many methods for Zhenling to protect itself, allowing them to recover from the suppression of the sects of the northern sea. But it also completely destroyed Zhenling's dream of becoming a large sect, until today, six thousand years later.
And Lu Ping had asked Chu Haitian, Sang Yu, Xie Tianyang and the others about this question, but they did not believe that True Spirit Adepts existed in this world.
Because they came from the holy lands of the noble clans, they had produced many True Spirit Adepts, so they had enough right to speak on this matter. In this world, the movement of True Spirit Adepts was too big, so big that this world could not tolerate the existence of True Spirit Adepts. Therefore, every True Spirit Adept could be detected by almost all the Dharma Adepts and above in the cultivation world, so once a True Spirit Adept was achieved, it was extremely difficult to hide it.
Not only that, it was very difficult for a True Spirit Adept to stay in this world for too long. Therefore, in the holy lands of the noble clans, any Pure Yang Adept who had the confidence to achieve True Spirit Adept would not easily break through to the next realm. Because once they broke through to the next realm and achieved True Spirit, it often meant that they would have to leave this world. Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, the Pure Yang Laozu in the holy lands of the noble clans were not willing to achieve True Spirit Adepts early.
Only then did Lu Ping understand. Originally, that Tai Shen Laozu of his own sect had been too impatient. Back then, Zhenling had even boasted that Tai Shen Laozu was a genius in the world. In just a hundred years after achieving Pure Yang, he had succeeded in becoming a True Spirit Adept. He was truly a rare genius in the cultivation world.
But from Lu Ping's point of view, if Tai Shen Laozu had been able to suppress his desire to achieve True Spirit Adept before he had advanced to Pure Yang, he could have completely stopped at Pure Yang cultivation for two to three hundred years. With such a Pure Yang Laozu overseeing things, in addition to the two to three hundred years of accumulation, Zhenling would have already advanced to a large sect five to six thousand years ago. Why would he have waited until now?
In reality, Zhenling had already understood this logic. However, so what if he understood it? Becoming a True Spirit Adept was not something that could be achieved easily. One only needed to look at those large sects that had existed for a long time in the cultivation world to understand.
Before Fei Ling Sect had been destroyed, it had nearly twenty thousand years of history. It had produced three True Spirit Laozu, while Ying Tian Sect had produced four. Furthermore, two of them had been the founders of different sects, Laozu.
As for other sects like Tian Xuan Sect, Skyrend, and Heavenly Moon Sect, they had only produced three to five True Spirit Laozu. As for sects like the Northern Alliance, not a single True Spirit Laozu had appeared.
Of course, there were also large sects like Purple Talisman Pavilion, Wind Thunder Island, Magic Cloud City, Tai Xuan Sect, and Western Desolation Palace that had been supported by the six Sacred Lands. Due to too many restrictions, they were unable to break free from the shadow of the Sacred Lands. Although they had the strength of large sects, they had never produced a Pure Yang or True Spirit Laozu.
Of course, if these sects could produce such a talented person who could break free from the Sacred Lands' secret control, then they would be like Tian Xuan Sect and Ying Tian Sect, breaking free from the Sacred Lands' control and becoming truly independent large sects.
In reality, for those large sects, it was a good thing that Laozu had become a Pure Yang. However, if this Laozu insisted on breaking through to the True Spirit Realm, it would become a burden to the sect he was in.
Becoming a True Spirit was a huge consumption of cultivation resources for a Pure Yang Laozu. Even for those large sects with deep legacies and resources, it was an unbearable burden.
Six thousand years ago, Zhenling had already prepared enough resources to become a large sect. However, because Tai Shen Laozu had advanced to the True Spirit Realm, most of these resources had been used up. In the end, Tai Shen Laozu had left this world a year after becoming a True Spirit, and Zhenling had completely sunk into oblivion. Under the combined suppression of the various sects in the North Sea, they were almost annihilated.
This situation also existed for the large sects. However, those large sects had finally learned their lesson. Whenever a Pure Yang cultivator appeared, they would do their best to delay the growth of their cultivation. At the same time, they would do their best to collect large amounts of cultivation resources in preparation for becoming a True Spirit.
However, once a cultivator became a Pure Yang cultivator, their cultivation would constantly increase even if they did not deliberately cultivate. This was because at this time, the Dharma Form in Pure Yang Laozu's Heart Space had passed through the third lightning tribulation and absorbed enough Pure Yang Qi. The Pure Yang Dharma Form was constantly transforming. Once it completely fused with the body, it would become a True Spirit.
At that moment, the Pure Yang Patriarch had no choice but to advance to the True Spirit stage. Otherwise, if the Dharma Idol and the fleshly body were to fuse for too long, the thick Pure Yang energy would turn the fleshly body into nothingness and the cultivator would fall.
In order to become a True Spirit before he died, Pure Yang Laozu had no choice but to prepare a large amount of cultivation resources so that the Dharma Form that had fused with the body could become a True Spirit in a short time and avoid the fate of dying.
In fact, when many Pure Yang Laozu reached this step, it was no longer a matter of whether or not their sects were willing to prepare a large amount of cultivation resources for them to become True Spirits. Under the pressure of Pure Yang Laozu, their sects had no choice but to prepare these things for them.
Every cultivator who reached the Pure Yang stage stood at the top of their sects. It could even be said that they had reached the point where they could summon clouds and rain with a flip of their hand. In front of them, all the traditions and rules of the sect had lost their binding effect. Even if they had selfish motives, who in the sect would dare to oppose them?
In the cultivation world, there were many sects that were on the verge of death in order to advance to a True Spirit after they had produced a Pure Yang cultivator. There were many sects that even fell apart.
As a small medium-sized sect, Zhenling was able to maintain its original strength after Pure Yang Laozu advanced to a True Spirit. From this point of view, besides the fact that Zhenling had indeed prepared sufficient resources at that time, it could be said that Pure Yang Laozu had considered a lot for Zhenling.
Although Lu Ping had heard these things from his good friends such as Chu Haitian, Sang Yu, and Xie Tianyang, Lu Ping could naturally distinguish many loopholes and doubts from these information. Many of the things they said were even avoiding the important and dwelling on the trivial. They only talked about how Pure Yang Laozu in some large sects and large tribes in the cultivation world dealt with the relationship between his own cultivation and the sects. However, they obviously avoided talking about how the Six Sacred Lands and large tribes like the Green Sea Snake dealt with these matters.
However, he also knew that most of these things were related to the secrets of their respective sects and families. It was already very commendable that they were willing to share so much information with Lu Ping. Lu Ping carefully noted down the information and did not ask any more questions. In his heart, he only felt gratitude towards these few good friends of his.
This was also the reason why Lu Ping had always spared no effort in collecting all kinds of cultivation resources. He was very ambitious. Although he had only been a late Core Forging adept at the beginning, and now he was only a mid Dharma adept, he longed to advance to a Pure Yang cultivator and achieve a True Spirit. Therefore, he had to start preparing for the future from now on.
This was also the reason why Lu Ping dared to risk offending the Nine Mystical Tower and sneak into the Longevity Cave. Now, he had to face another sacred land in the central plains, Wuxing School. Once again, he had his eyes on something. He wanted to snatch food from the tiger's mouth!
