There were only two aspects to any system of cultivation. One was to train the body, and the other was to strengthen the soul.
The path of cultivation was the same.
Western sorcerers mainly focused on the soul and mental strength. Their bodies were not strong enough. Knights and warriors, on the other hand, focused on their bodies and rarely trained their mental strength. Both of them had fatal flaws. Only when one became a God and ignited the Divine Fire, could the body be forged into a God's body and the soul be transformed into a God's soul.
Lin Xi's soul was already very strong.
His body was also very strong.
However, his original body was walking the path of combat. Amaterasu wanted to become a God and could no longer cultivate. Only Shiranui Kuroko, who had mastered the special ability of space and had the talent to observe the higher dimension, was still a mortal.
Cultivation had no concept of time. It required a long period of time to gather spiritual energy. The reason why those old monsters from the Primordial Era in the Flood of Chaos were so powerful was because at the beginning of the world, the world was filled with the purest spiritual energy, rare treasures, spiritual fruits and medicinal herbs.
When the people of later generations cultivated, their Spirit Qi was polluted by the Houtian turbid Qi. They had to find some deserted and isolated wilderness.
If they could find a Spirit Vein or dig out a place where Spirit Qi gathered and grow treasures, such as Vermilion Fruit or Solomon's seal, it would be a blessing from the ancestors.
Lin Xi's One Qi turned into Three Pure Ones … No, it was the Three Pure Ones. His original body was safe in Jinling City. Amaterasu was in the Saint City converting the power of faith and preparing to ignite the Divine Fire. Shiranui Kuroko was inside the Mountain River Map.
With the power of space protecting her, even if the treasure had the ability to turn three dimensions into two dimensions, it could not hurt her.
Of course, this was also because Karsus was not a cultivator and could not unleash the true power of the treasure — and the Mountain River Map's ability was not limited to dimensional attacks. It was a primordial spiritual treasure of Goddess Nuwa. Even if it was a knockoff, it would be a top-grade treasure for five million. How could it only have such a small change?
Lin Xi now had Lonemoon's heart mark and inherited the knowledge of cultivation. He could now understand some of the things that he did not understand before.
The Mountain River Map obviously contained an abundance of Spirit Qi! In terms of the abundance of spiritual energy, even the Cultivation World's Grotto-Heavens and Blessed Lands could not compare. He had been to Jin City before. After it became the city of Shu Mountain, each of the floating mountain peaks had a spirit vein.
Perfected White Brow used an array to absorb Spirit Qi and created a cultivation holy land.
Perfected White Brow used an array to absorb Spirit Qi and created a cultivation holy land.
His soul was strong enough and he had already developed a spiritual sense. As long as he absorbed enough spiritual energy, his cultivation would come naturally. If he cultivated in such a place, forming a Gold Core wouldn't be a problem.
However, the spiritual energy here had clearly fused with the magic treasure. Even if he wanted to absorb it, he couldn't absorb even a little bit.
"Such a good place for Foundation Building is simply the best place to cheat. If I can't cultivate here, where will I go to find Spirit Qi in the future? Like entering a mountain of treasure and returning empty-handed. "Lin Xi's heart was anxious like a cat's claws.
"Is there anything I can use …"
The scenery inside the Stately Painting was a landscape of mountains and rivers, just like a beautiful small world. However, it was a two-dimensional animation. Shrouded in the power of space, Shirai Kuroko took off the Andromeda Saint Robe and put it into the space bracelet.
Then, he took something out of the bracelet. Seeing the broken Halberd of Brave Souls, he could not help but feel pity.
He first took out the Spider Queen's egg. This egg clearly lacked energy and had not hatched. He wanted to see if the egg could absorb the spiritual energy within the Stately Painting, but he did not dare to leave the protection of the power of space. If he did that, he was afraid that the egg would directly turn into an omelet.
He thought about it and still could not bear to let it go. Actually, he could easily kill the Spider Queen with his current strength. He just had this egg with him for such a long time that he had developed feelings for it.
After keeping the Spider Queen's egg, Lin Xi took out another item.
Earth Emperor Pearl.
This pearl was the same as the Spider Queen's egg. No one knew how long it had been there. When Lin Xi took it out, he was in danger. The Earth Emperor Pearl was too heavy. It was unknown how many tons it weighed. Moreover, such a large amount of weight was concentrated on a small pearl. It was impossible to hold it.
Shirai Kuroko's strength was far inferior to his real body and Amaterasu.
The Earth Sovereign Pearl directly fell down, smashing through the thin layer of spatial power protecting his body. Lin Xi was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. If the two-dimensional power from the outside entered his body, wouldn't his body be instantly turned into a human pancake?
The thing that scared him out of his wits didn't happen. The Earth Emperor's Pearl smashed through the spatial barrier and landed on the ground. Surprisingly, the pearl didn't become two-dimensional. Instead, an earthy yellow light spread out and dyed the picturesque landscape into an earthy yellow color.
"Thou, do you wish to inherit the Dao of the Earth Emperor?"
A loud voice rang out in Lin Xi's mind.
In Jinling City, Lin Xi, who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Amaterasu, who was channeling the power of faith in the Templar City, spat out a mouthful of viscous blood. The blood was pure gold in color, like a burning flame.
His mind was shaken.
His real body was fine, but Amaterasu's mind was affected by the shock and was injured.
"Phew."
Letting out a long breath, Lin Xi suppressed the shock and forced the Amaterasu to enter a state of clarity. His real body's mind was empty.
"Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan!"
This was one of the ancestors of the Chinese people. In the chaotic world of cultivation, he was one of the Human Emperors and was comparable to a Golden Immortal! Back in the Lingyun Cave, the precious Jade Linglong from the Demi-Gods and Semi-Demons world had wrapped around the Yellow Emperor's Dragon Vein and rushed into the Earth Emperor Pearl together with the Xuanyuan Sword.
The Human Emperors of the Wind and Cloud World were definitely not as powerful as those in the chaotic world. However, after the death of Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, the Dragon Vein could still protect China for a thousand years. Even if Japan invaded China, they would have to destroy the Dragon Bones first.
This type of existence was something Lin Xi couldn't even compare to right now.
At least if Lin Xi died, the Dragon Bones would not be able to protect the Templar City for a thousand years.
In the past, the Earth Spirit Bead contained the consciousness of the mountain deity. Lin Xi could use the characteristics of the spiritual force to connect to the will of the mountain deity, and from there transfer the energy of the earth within the bead — the natural source of earth. Later on, in Lingyun Cave, after that transformation, the will of the mountain deity inside could no longer be sensed.
Now, this voice rang out in his mind. He hurriedly asked, but the other party's consciousness was rather stiff. No matter how many times it repeated, it would only say the same sentence: "Thou, do you wish to inherit the Dao of the Earth Emperor?"
Lin Xi had no choice but to say: "Yes."
"Accept my inheritance and protect the people of China."
"Boom!"
A huge Spiritual Consciousness was poured into Lin Xi's body. Along with it was the endless Innate Earth Origin Energy in the Earth Emperor Pearl.
Cultivators absorbed Spiritual Qi. Spiritual veins were the Spiritual Qi from the earth. The Innate Earth Origin Energy was equivalent to the Earth Origin Energy before the world was created. It was much more powerful than the Spiritual Qi from the spiritual veins.
Crackle! A series of cracking sounds could be heard. Shirai Kuroko's body seemed to explode from the Innate Earth Origin Energy. Beads of blood seeped out of his skin.
This kind of pain would cause an ordinary person to faint immediately. However, Lin Xi had once been tempered by the Four God Vermilion Bird True Fire Array. After that, he merged the Six Yang Divine Fire with his soul, which was equivalent to refining his soul. What kind of pain couldn't he endure? He just treated it as a refreshing breeze.
Originally, Qi Practitioners would need at least tens of years of hard work to temper their bodies.
The Goddess Nuwa created humans from earth, and it was said that humans were formed from earth — the Innate Earth Origin Force changed the tendons and forged the bones of Shiranui Kuroko's body. In a short period of time, a spirit body was formed, and it was an Innate Spirit Body. In the cultivation world, those cultivators who only had a "spiritual root" and one or two meridians with spirituality in their body would probably die of shame.
Shirai Kuroko received the inheritance and was recognized by a trace of Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan's consciousness. The Spiritual Qi in the pearl directly helped her temper her body. A large amount of Spiritual Qi gathered around her body. Although it couldn't compare to the legendary eating of immortal peaches and ginseng fruits, it was still equivalent to reaching the heavens on the road of Cultivation.
Moreover, along with the Spiritual Qi, a cultivation technique was also transmitted. It was the "Yellow Emperor Earth Emperor Path." It wasn't an ordinary technique, but the Path of the Human Emperor. It was a secret technique of the ancient Qi Practitioners who walked the path of merit to become a sage.
What was merit? Obeying the heavens was merit, and teaching turned into virtue.
The soul of Shirai Kuroko's clone was Lin Xi. It was part of the Trinity. Although Lin Xi was passive, he had done many good things during the apocalypse.
Just by using the Heart of the Holy Church to build a special city and protect millions of civilians, the current Shen City was equivalent to a paradise in the post-apocalyptic world. Even the most ordinary mortals, old and weak, wouldn't starve to death and could live on.
There was a saying in Buddhism, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda." Millions of people had survived because of Lin Xi. This was a great merit. Even if Amaterasu used a Nuclear Explosion Punch in Japan and killed tens of thousands of people, it couldn't cover it.
There was also the rescue of Shen City!
This time, the rescue of Jinling!
It was all merit.
Otherwise, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan's spiritual consciousness would not have been able to pass down the Yellow Emperor's Earth Emperor Dao after being affected by the spiritual qi in the Mountain, River, and Country Map. Other evolvers, including Xu Zilong, Su Hongying, and Golden Armor, were not qualified to pass it down.
Originally, Lin Xi did not have any related Cultivation Methods, nor had he embarked on this special path of Merit Cultivation. Now that he had obtained the Cultivation Method inheritance and an innate spirit body, Merit Cultivation was immediately triggered and descended from the unseen world.
A ball of air appeared above his head. It wasn't the Innate Earth Essence of the Earth Emperor's Pearl.
Heaven and Earth Qi.
Yuan and yuan are at the beginning, the radiance is at the beginning, the clear and turbid flow together, the black and yellow are intertwined!
There is a saying: Heaven is black and earth is mixed together, the sky is black and the earth is yellow. The Heaven and Earth Qi was also known as the Heaven and Earth Qi of Heaven and Earth, and the Heaven and Earth Qi of Merit Cultivation. It was the most mysterious type of supreme energy. Pangu created the world from chaos, which was the first great merit. The Heaven and Earth Qi that was produced was condensed into a Heaven and Earth Qi of Heaven and Earth by Taishang Laojun. When it stood above his head, even if the universe was destroyed, it wouldn't be hurt.
There was not much Heaven and Earth Qi above Lin Xi's head. However, the Red Lotus Hellfire and the Qi of Nine Underworlds were far inferior in terms of energy quality!
