Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 2078 - 2080: Time to Form a Nascent Soul (Third Release—Please Vote for Monthly Ticket)
Master Wanqing, the True Immortal, mentioned the effect of peer cultivators’ energy fields; many seniors in the Jinwu Sect have insights about this.
However, even in those days, no one could accurately calculate the amplification magnitude—a rough estimate might be possible for some, but precision was indeed lacking.
This is precisely why the concept of peer cultivators’ energy fields has yet to form into a complete theory.
When he heard Feng Jun’s explanation, he felt enlightened and couldn’t help but speak up, "Can you help predict the pill formation probability for these Jinwu disciples?"
Feng Jun reluctantly pursed his lips at the words, "Helping you three True Immortals is no problem, as I owe you a favor, but these Jinwu disciples...that will have to follow the rules."
Master Wanqing wasn’t surprised, debts of gratitude should be clear, and the three of them, being True Immortals, individually surpass the sums of peak mortal worlds’ abilities, so he expressed, "Let’s proceed with the regular prediction first."
A regular prediction would cost around five thousand spirits for one cultivator, truly just a drop in the bucket.
But Master Wanqing wasn’t careless, "Let’s predict twice, once with the energy field and once without...should we go to Tianqin?"
"Have you taken too many free rides?" Feng Jun glanced at him curiously, "You can just go to the Crimson Pheonix Sect, and...aren’t you planning to watch Xia Nichang form her Nascent Soul? It’s right on the way!"
Everyone first went to the Crimson Pheonix Sect, but Feng Jun did not directly enter the main region of Crimson Pheonix.
He chose to first teleport to the Crimson Pheonix Market, and then enter the sect from there—his approach of coming and going silently could easily evoke apprehension.
Upon arriving at the outskirts of the Crimson Pheonix Sect, Xia Nichang proactively came to welcome him, she had not officially entered closed-door cultivation yet.
Feng Jun ultimately helped her perform a prediction, ensuring she could close-door cultivate safely, and she proceeded with final preparations.
The preparation was meticulous and prolonged; she expressed that before entering closed-door cultivation, she wanted to see Feng Mountain Master’s prediction of pill formation for peak mortal world cultivators.
The peak cultivators of the Jinwu Sect felt a bit resistant to this request.
They considered their pill formation probability a private matter, and having sect disciples observed by external cultivators was quite embarrassing—even if the external cultivator is about to form her Nascent Soul, she hasn’t yet, has she?
Despite being at the Golden Core Peak, Xia Nichang couldn’t forcibly impose this request on their sect’s peak mortal world cultivators, so she sought help from Master Wanqing, saying if you can watch me form my Nascent Soul, even Ran Yun and Master Jiangxia might come to observe, I also am without privacy.
Before Master Wanqing could respond, Wu Nan from Nascent Soul Third Layer spoke up, "Sharing some information between sects and disciples is appropriate, withholding information only damages loyalty to one’s sect."
Upon hearing this reasoning, the peak cultivators of the mortal world could only agree to the information sharing.
The key was if they formed pills successfully, and if Xia Nichang hasn’t formed her Nascent Soul by then, they would have a chance to sense her Nascent Soul’s aura, but rejecting this opportunity now almost guarantees loss for them.
It took Feng Jun two days to finish predictions; the cultivators brought by Master Wanqing varied greatly, with probabilities ranging high to low, significantly influenced by age.
After finishing the predictions, Feng Jun was ready to leave, specifically greeting Xia Nichang, to which Xia Taishang responded that they’ll meet again after forming the Nascent Soul!
Feng Jun felt curious, "Don’t you want me to watch your Nascent Soul forming, to intervene and resolve issues if necessary?"
Xia Taishang naturally replied, "Of course I do, who doesn’t want added security, but when it comes to the formation of the Nascent Soul, the repercussions are far heavier. If you don’t need to intervene, why force you to watch? If intervention is required, you might not bear the consequences..."
"Well, you don’t need to watch then," Xia Nichang laughed openly, "In the past, without you, I still formed my pill, remember, I was a prodigy, so don’t worry too much."
Securing the position of Supreme Elder at Crimson Pheonix Sect by age 500, how could someone like this not possess their own pride?
Feng Jun chuckled helplessly, then rose to say goodbye. Xia Taishang escorted them to the teleportation array at Crimson Pheonix Market, watching them enter the array.
At the exit of the teleportation array, they arrived at a market neighboring Crimson Pheonix. Feng Jun found this teleportation process cumbersome and wished to take them directly back to Lantern Town.
The cultivators from Jinwu Sect were naturally agreeable, but True Immortal Jiu Wei stated, "Mountain Master Feng, I sense Dao Friend Nichang still desires your aid, but she speaks as such to fortify her Dao heart."
"I understand," Feng Jun smiled and nodded, "Reliance on external objects tends to relax one’s self-requirements. As cultivators, we must be tough on ourselves, so I haven’t promised to help her to avoid affecting her state of mind."
Wu Nan looked at him, displaying a peculiar expression, "If trouble arises with her, you will intervene, right?"
Feng Jun pondered and then smiled, shaking his head, "Regardless of whether I possess the ability to assist her, even if I wanted to help, do you think I can access the area where her Nascent Soul is forming?"
His simulation this time was only conducted on the periphery of the Crimson Pheonix Sect, and he hadn’t ventured deep into it. For Xia Nichang to condense her Nascent Soul, she was destined to do so at the convergence of Spirit Veins, which is absolutely the core area of the Crimson Phoenix, where outsiders cannot set foot.
"If anything really happens, I could serve as an introduction," Wan Qing True Immortal interjected, "No matter how secretive the place is, can it refuse entry to a simulator? It’s like avoiding medical treatment for fear of discovery; surely they would still show some courtesy to a visiting True Immortal like me?"
"Not necessarily," Feng Jun shook his head with a smile, "Alright, everyone get ready, I’m going to take you on a journey now."
The next moment, he brought the crowd to Lantern Town. While the other cultivators were still adapting to the feeling of teleportation, Feng Jun already glanced at Wan Qing True Immortal, asking with a half-smile, "Do you think the Crimson Phoenix would allow an outsider to casually enter the core area of their sect?"
Wan Qing True Immortal blinked his eyes and then laughed, giving a thumbs up, "Every time I witness your divine skills, Mountain Master Feng, I cannot help but exclaim... Truly amazing. Even if you don’t engage in simulations, you could make a fortune simply doing domain transport."
Feng Jun shook his head, speaking with a mixture of amusement and frustration, "I haven’t had such boring plans. I think simulation is quite good; it’s mental work, while transport is physical labor."
Wu Nan True Immortal realized with amazement on his face, "Are you saying... places you’ve been to, you can use this divine skill?"
"Not entirely," Feng Jun laughed, waving a hand. The ability he was using, "Footprint," was already known to many, so there wasn’t much point in hiding it any longer. Of course, he couldn’t be completely honest either; keeping some secrets was still necessary.
So he replied ambiguously, "Some places, I still can’t manage."
"Naturally," Wan Qing True Immortal confidently stated, "If there is any spatial barrier or lock in place, as strong as Mountain Master Feng’s divine skills are, his cultivation level still falls short, and it probably couldn’t be broken through."
He thought highly of Feng Jun, pondering deeply over this exceptionally formidable divine skill, and eventually rationalizing it in a way that minimized the sense of unease it brought to the others.
"That’s true," Wu Nan True Immortal nodded with a smile, then curiously asked, "In places you’ve never been, can you also... use this divine skill?"
Feng Jun shook his head, just about to explain, but Wan Qing True Immortal had already spoken, "How could that be possible? This technique is probably related to spatial anchor positions... In places one hasn’t been, how could a spatial anchor position be left behind?"
Jiu Wei True Immortal shook his head, responding indifferently, "Of course it can be done. Even if Tribulation Transcending Might could not achieve it, Mahayana certainly could."
"Don’t get ahead of yourself," Wan Qing True Immortal cast him a glance, "Never mind Tribulation Transcending Might, have you seen a Divine Spirit True Monarch?"
"I haven’t," Jiu Wei True Immortal answered slowly. Joking with his fellow sect members was within bounds, yet he was a rather serious individual, "What I mean to say is... Wan Qing Senior Brother, your explanation concerning spatial anchor positions is incorrect."
"I can’t be bothered with you," Wan Qing True Immortal waved a hand, "Alright, let’s enter the Crimson Pheonix Courtyard."
Upon entering the Crimson Pheonix Courtyard, Xiao Meng and other Crimson Pheonix disciples came to inquire about Xia Nichang’s current situation. Upon hearing she would soon seclude herself to condense her Nascent Soul, opinions ranged from envy to concern, with mixed feelings abounding.
Afterward, Feng Jun began simulating the probabilities of forming the Core Formation for the Jinwu Sect’s Golden Core Peak cultivators.
This simulation took another two days, though the results weren’t bad. On average, each individual saw a probability increase of about 12%, with the highest increase being 21%.
The lowest increase was only 9%, but this person already had a probability of 79% to form the Core Formation, which now improved to 88%. The difficulty of further improvement was indeed considerable. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Even in the Higher Realm of Tianqin, such talent was quite promising.
It’s said that this individual originally had no intention of leaving Kunhao, but accompanied a friend down to find opportunities for Core Formation.
A few days ago, Feng Jun simulated in the Crimson Pheonix, deducing a 79% probability of Core Formation for him. Because there were three True Immortals present at the time, he dared not say anything but later confided to fellow sect members privately, "I also sought someone within the sect for simulation, and it was 80%. Why would I bother coming to lower realms for Core Formation?"
Now that Feng Jun simulated his Core Formation probability at 88%, he immediately decided to form his Core at White Pebble Beach!
However, despite everyone claiming Mountain Master Feng’s simulations were astounding, there were skeptics who believed seeing is believing.
Not long after Feng Jun’s simulations concluded, someone from the Qinggang Sect also began forming their Core; they came with Li Chengqiong, and it was Mingyang who, despite his advanced age, had only a 53% probability even with utmost adjustment.
Nonetheless, he resolutely commenced his Core Formation, facing no mishaps in the early stage.
The majority at White Pebble Beach breathed a sigh of relief—it was, thankfully, okay and had not allowed the Nascent Soul Tree Demon to ruin a fellow cultivator’s momentum.
After a few more days, before Mingyang had begun forming the Core, someone at Wuyou Platform initiated Core Formation as well.
