Zhang Yan's gaze landed on the hall. There was only a small portion of the Jade Stone Coral left. With his current spiritual energy, if he continued to use this item to cultivate, it would completely disappear when he reached the Mortal Shedding Realm.
However, he didn't need this item to refine the embryo. Thus, he waved his sleeves and a ray of light flew over. The light wrapped around it and sent it to the back of the hall.
The "Yuan" in the embryo was the meaning of the beginning of one's origin. When a cultivator reached this step, it was like they were reincarnated from the beginning. They gave up death and entered life. The use of their physical body had reached its end. If they wanted to continue, they would have to break the shackles and shed their mortal body.
However, the human body was a boat to cross the world. If they were to get rid of the old, they would be killing themselves. Thus, they had to leave death and enter life. When Yin and Yang were not moving, they had to combine their essence, energy, and spirit into one. Then, they would be able to refine the Qi of Origin.
This Qi of Origin was the foundation of getting rid of the shackles. It was something that no medicine or pill could compare to. However, it couldn't be contaminated by the Qi outside of the body. Thus, it had to be stored in one's own grotto-heaven. Then, one could refine the Qi of Heaven and Earth.
The "embryo" here was the foundation of the future path. Everything went in from here and everything came out from here.
The "heaven and earth" here wasn't referring to the universe outside of the body. It was referring to the world inside the body. If a cultivator made a mistake during this process, they would fall into silence and never wake up again. It was no different from death.
However, this stage wasn't difficult. According to historical records, none of the cultivators who cultivated to this level had failed at this stage.
Even so, Zhang Yan wouldn't be careless. He called out and a ray of light flew out. It was the Mountain River Drawing. It spun around and turned into a boy. He bowed and said, "Greetings, Master."
Zhang Yan said, "I need to refine the embryo today. The grotto-heaven can't contain external objects. You can guard the back of the hall. Once I'm done, you can come back."
Child of Mountain and River bowed and said, "Yes, Child." After he finished speaking, his figure moved and turned into a ray of light, heading toward the back of the palace.
Zhang Yan adjusted his Qi and sat up straight again. Soon, he entered a meditative state. With the circulation of the technique, his mind and spiritual power gradually merged together.
After an unknown amount of time, in that extremely quiet void, a surge of vitality suddenly appeared. This was the First Origin Qi. Under his deliberate guidance, the moment this Origin Qi appeared, it was smoothly sent into the Grotto-heaven. Once it landed in the Grotto-heaven, a bright light gradually shone out from the chaos. It opened up a space, and it seemed to be in the same place as the previous world, but at the same time, it wasn't in the same place as the previous world.
At the same time, his body trembled slightly. His mana involuntarily flowed between him and the Void Space as if it was endless. After reaching this step, he was already a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
Not long after, another strand of vital energy was refined, similarly flowing in. However, it did not merge with the previous strand of vital energy, similarly forming a world of its own. Following the strands of vital energy, inside the Grotto-heaven. Twelve layers of heaven rose one after another, and each of them connected to the same place.
Before he started cultivating, he had already read the records left by the ancestors of Qincang School, so he was not surprised by this. This situation was actually related to the barrier that the cultivator broke through before.
Normally speaking, after a cultivator broke through six barriers, he would have a strong enough foundation and could refine the First Origin Qi. This way, he could smoothly open up six layers of heaven. However, he broke through twelve barriers, so naturally, twelve layers of heaven were born.
He could faintly sense that he had already reached his limit in this trial. Even if there was someone in this world with greater Fa Li than him in this trial, that person would have no choice but to stop here.
As he continued, although the First Origin Qi continued to fall into this place, it was no longer creating a new world. Instead, it continued to nourish and strengthen the twelve layers of heaven.
At this moment, with a thought, mighty power surged out from the twelve layers of heaven. Twelve streams of clear energy rose from his body.
If he was willing, each stream of clear energy could gather into a clone. If he released them all at once, he could fight against twelve Grotto-heavens at the same time. Moreover, each of them could be considered his dharma body. If he did not destroy all of them, he would not be able to kill him. Even if one of them was killed, as long as the twelve layers of heaven were still there, he could use them again after some time. This was the true strength of a Venerable Nascent Embryo.
However, every time he released the clone, it was the same as drawing the vital energy from the nascent embryo. This would slow down his cultivation. If it was not necessary, he would not do this. Fortunately, he had already reached the sixth transformation of strength path. Even if he encountered danger, he did not need to use it to fight. Thus, he recalled all the clones with a thought.
At this stage, as long as he continued to cultivate and obtained the root fruit, he would be able to achieve the Qi Path Mortal Shedding.
As the saying goes, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.
The root fruit of cultivators was that "one", which came from the nascent embryo.
Once it was found, he would be able to break free from the original space and form his own world. He would be able to fly away at any time and would not be injured by the Xiantian Chaotic Destruction Vitality Light.
However, this step could not be completed in one go. There were many things to pay attention to. Since ancient times, there were many people who cultivated the nascent embryo, but not all of them could achieve the Mortal Shedding. This was also the reason.
Zhang Yan was clear that he was Just Now, there was no rush to advance. He could still accumulate for a period of time. Thus, he stood up, pushed open the door and walked out.
In Jun Chen World, Sima Quan sat on the Mohe Ship and had been floating in the void for close to a hundred years.
Just as he had predicted, Yuliangism immediately took action after he returned to Jade Ship Heaven Region.
That time, five Perfected Monarchs came. He knew that he could not stop them, so he used the formation to fight for a while before flying away.
Not to mention his own escape technique, he also had the ship. The five Perfected Monarchs couldn't catch him. After chasing for a while, they all gave up. However, the various Heaven Regions still surrounded him, so he couldn't stay for long everywhere he went. Even some of the Savage Heaven Regions were found by the Yuliang Cult. In the end, he could only follow the directions of the Docked Ship.
As for the disciples, to preserve their strength and not let them get hurt for nothing, they dispersed before Yuliangism arrived.
It was difficult to gather people's hearts, it was easy to disperse them. If it was a normal sect, they would not dare to do this. However, he had planted a demonic poison in every disciple. With a thought, he could make them listen to his orders, so he did not care about this.
He did not return to the Aura Accumulation Palace. First, he was afraid that Yuliangism would send people to ambush him on the way. Second, he was afraid that if he lost the Jade Ship Heaven Region, he would be punished by the palace.
Although he was a Perfected Monarch, they would not do anything to him in the end. However, he would most likely be restricted for a period of time, and he would not be able to do anything. He would not even be able to contact the Mountain and Sea Realm. Therefore, he would rather wander outside and wait for the right time to return.
As he moved forward, he suddenly felt an indescribable will envelop him. His heart stirred, and he followed the will to turn the Mohe Ship and head toward a realm.
It took him more than a hundred days to find an Earth Star that was different from the one he was in. Before he even got close to it, he could feel a turbid spiritual vigor permeating the surroundings. It was obvious that there was an Earth Qi Meng Ring set up here.
His gaze swept back and forth, and he saw that at the peak of the tallest mountain on the continent, there was an upside-down mountain that was facing the Void Sky. It had been flattened by someone's magic power, forming a spacious platform, and on top of it was a palace.
Sanren Rao stood in front of the palace, and there was another person standing behind him. Based on his aura, he should be a cultivator from the Devil Sect of this realm.
Sima Quan put away the Mohe Ship in the sky, then turned into a beam of light and landed on the ground. He took a few steps forward and cupped his hands. "Sanren Rao, were you waiting for me? I'm sorry."
Rao Sanren laughed and said, "How could I not? If you didn't remind me, I wouldn't have been able to collect the legacy left behind by that old dragon. From this point of view, I owe you a favor."
He took a step to the side and pointed at the person behind him. "This is True Lord Deng. So you're like me, serving under that Dragon Monarch."
True Lord Deng said in a self-mocking tone, "That old dragon only trusts his dragon children and grandchildren. People like me can only watch over his house."
Sima Quan came forward and cupped his hands. "True Lord Deng, you're too kind."
True Lord Deng didn't dare to be arrogant, so he returned the greeting.
He knew that aside from the fact that this mystique was not weak, he also had a huge force under him. If one were to talk about how important he was to Sanren Rao … In Sanren Rao's heart, he was much more important than him.
Sima Quan asked, "May I ask, Sanren Rao, where is this place?"
Sanren Rao had gained a lot this time, and now saw Sima Quan as one of his own, so he didn't hide anything from him. He said, "This is one of the lairs managed by that old dragon. He spent a lot of effort to set up restrictions to conceal it. Now that it's in our hands, no matter how fierce the battle between the Qi Accumulation Palace and Yuliangism is, it won't reach this place."
Sima Quan said, "I've been traveling in the void for more than ten years. What's the situation now?"
Sanren Rao said, "Whether it's Yang Chuan or Kong Ying, they've all suffered great losses in the battle. Until now, they haven't shown themselves."
Sima Quan was shocked. "With Kong Ying and Yang Chuan's abilities, they're still not a match for that old dragon? “
Sanren Rao shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Kong Ying seems to be occupied with something and is unable to leave. Thus, he only sent a doppelganger this time. However, if it was his real body, Yang Chuan might not dare to ally with him.
Sima Quan understood. That old dragon was able to fight with Kong Ying head-on and escape with his clone. It was obvious that he was not weak. Compared to Yang Chuan, he might even be stronger. However, he was more concerned about something else. He said, "Since the two of them have joined forces, do you think that the two clans will shake hands and make peace?"
Sanren Rao thought for a while and said, "That might be possible, but it's not very likely. At least for now, the two of them are still on guard against each other. Otherwise, why would Kong Ying send a clone to kill the enemy? Moreover, the two clans have been fighting each other for the past few years. It's not something that can be stopped easily. "
True Lord Deng said, "Sanren, this is a chance for us to grow stronger."
Sanren Rao laughed. "You're right. I've gained a lot from the old dragon, but I'm not willing to enjoy it alone. The two of you are my left and right arms, so you should benefit from it as well." He waved his sleeve and opened the palace gates. Inside, there was a pool of spiritual liquid. "This is the Huanwei Spiritual Pool that the old dragon spent a lot of effort to refine. Originally, it was meant for him to enjoy, but now it's ours. This is a rare opportunity. The two of you can just enter and cultivate. How far you can go will depend on your own luck." “
