Longevity: Starting as a Sect Servant-Chapter 191 - 170: Birth of the Golden Core (Long - )
He formally employed the Celestial Demon Skill, and instantly, the starlight silver in his hand rapidly dimmed, as if it had lost its essence.
And a sharp metallic energy was plundered into his body, infused into his lungs, and melted therein.
After a long while.
Li An tried using the Immortal Celestial Demon Armor, and a faint silvery light, like layers of scales, spewed out and covered Li An’s skin.
But it was very faint!
"It worked, but it’s too weak—"
However, Li An was in no hurry.
"So quick?"
In his mind, Shangguan Xiaoxiao was surprised.
She was also observing Li An’s cultivation, and being trapped in the Spirit Platform, she couldn’t perceive everything in Li An’s Dantian, but she could sense the changes when Li An just cultivated the Immortal Celestial Demon Armor.
She was born in the Demon Sect and had a deep understanding of the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill.
The Immortal Celestial Demon Armor is a divine power in the Celestial Demon Skill, extremely difficult to cultivate.
As far as she knew, even those with a natural Demon Body who inherited the Celestial Demon Skill found it hard to master at the Core Formation Stage, often needing to move to the Nascent Soul before the Immortal Celestial Demon Armor could truly be cultivated.
But Li An...
This guy just casually tried, and it succeeded??
She realized that although that piece of Tier Two starlight silver was insignificant, it meant that Li An had grasped the cultivation method of the Immortal Celestial Demon Armor.
It seemed Li An hadn’t cultivated the Celestial Demon Skill before, right?
How could he succeed on the first try?
She couldn’t help but wonder if Li An was a waste or a genius.
Calling him a waste, because it’s been three hundred years until Core Formation, which is a disgrace for a natural Demon Body.
Calling him a genius, because his control over the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill was almost at an effortless level.
It’s incredibly absurd!
"Does his natural Demon Body have something special?"
She couldn’t help but feel a hint of curiosity, pondering for a moment, and then she spoke, "The greatest boost of the Celestial Demon Skill at the Core Formation Stage lies in the ’Purple Mansion’!"
Upon hearing this, Li An couldn’t help but feel moved.
Although he hadn’t cultivated, he had been pondering over the Demon Skill, so he roughly understood what Shangguan Xiaoxiao said.
"The Celestial Demon Skill can seize blood, cultivation, and Spirit Root from cultivators, but it also has this effect for creation, just like you used the Demon Skill to devour Golden Essence to cultivate the Immortal Celestial Demon Armor just now."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao continued, "The Celestial Demon Skill can also seize the ’Taiyin Qi’ from Spirit Veins to help you forge a unique Purple Mansion. Once the Purple Mansion is formed, the Nascent Soul is soon to come!"
——In the Core Formation Stage, to achieve the Nascent Soul, one must first condense the "Purple Mansion".
The Purple Mansion is where the Nascent Soul is born and grows.
The Nascent Soul is the embodiment of one’s Spiritual Qi and Spiritual Sense, arising within the Purple Mansion, marking the cultivator’s entry into a profound realm.
Condensing the Purple Mansion is extraordinarily difficult, with the most crucial part being the absorption of ’Taiyin Qi’.
The Nascent Soul is born in yin!
The stage after the Nascent Soul is Divinity Transformation and then Harmonization Dao.
Divinity Transformation turns to yang.
Yin from the Nascent Soul, Yang from Divinity Transformation, the union of Yin and Yang, is the Harmonization Dao!
It shows how important Taiyin Qi is!
During the Core Formation Stage, besides continuing to absorb large amounts of Spiritual Qi to cultivate, the most important task is to collect Taiyin Qi, condense the Purple Mansion, and prepare for the Nascent Soul.
Since Taiyin Qi is nurtured in creation, generally speaking, Rank Three and above Spirit Veins contain Taiyin Qi, but Taiyin Qi is a profound mystery of the Great Dao, difficult to obtain.
Generally, there are two ways to acquire Taiyin Qi:
The first is some special Spirit Medicines, natural materials, etc., which will gather some Taiyin Qi. These things are extremely expensive and rare.
The second is top-grade treasured land, natural creations, where Taiyin Qi manifests, allowing for leisurely absorption. But such places are harder to find than Spirit Medicines, perhaps not even a few in the entire Xiling Origin Continent.
These harsh requirements are extremely unfriendly for Li An, who wants to leave the Jiang Clan and become a Loose Cultivator.
In fact, the higher you cultivate, the harder it becomes, as resources are limited and rare, forcing competition to obtain them.
But the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill can indeed greatly assist him!
Using this skill, one can directly extract Taiyin Qi from Spirit Veins, a method that defies the heavens.
Li An pondered for a moment and found this method feasible.
In reality, the main reason is he possesses the Life Nourishing Immortal Skill, and with the Life Seed, he can purify the negative effects produced by the Demon Skill.
After all, using the Immortal Celestial Demon Skill to absorb Taiyin Qi from Spirit Veins results in the formation of a demon-infested Demon Mansion in the Purple Mansion, and the nascent soul born from it resembles a Demon Embryo. If Li An takes this path, he will become a true Demon Cultivator.
This is something Li An absolutely does not want!
"To control the Demon Skill with the Life Seed, the Demon Skill is for me to use, but it cannot backfire on me..."
Li An’s heart was set, and he said to Shangguan Xiaoxiao in the Spirit Platform, "This method is indeed not bad."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. As long as Li An took the path of Demon Cultivation and constantly cultivated the Celestial Demon Skill, her plan could be realized...
"By the way, do you also have the method for making a teleportation array?"
Li An suddenly continued.
Actually, what he wanted most from Shangguan Xiaoxiao was this!
With a teleportation array, escaping in the future would be very convenient. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
"The teleportation array is too advanced, involving space; even if I give it to you, you wouldn’t understand it."
Shangguan Xiaoxiao deflated him mercilessly, but since Li An had decided to cultivate the Demon Skill, she was in a good mood and said, "But I can give you a set of array inheritances, which was once created by an Array Master from my sect. The lowest level is Rank Three arrays, which should suffice for you."
