Chapter 51: Chapter 51 I Will Protect You

"Wait a moment, let me examine your body!"

Lu Xuanji said, stepping forward to hold her delicate hand.

A trace of True Essence was infused into the body, examining the physical condition, and he felt a mysterious power awakening within her, powerful yet appearing very weak.

Powerful, meaning it will be very powerful in the future.

Weak, meaning it is very weak now.

At the Foundation Establishment Stage, the constitution begins to awaken, and it’s relatively weak at this stage, just slightly stronger than a Mortal Body. Only through continuous cultivation can the physique gradually reach Minor Success, Great Success, Perfection, until the full potential of the physique is realized.

After examining once, he then had Ye Feixue practice the cultivation technique.

As soon as the cultivation technique was slightly activated, strands of Spiritual Qi poured into her body at a rapid speed. Not only that, as the cultivation technique was activated, the Dao charm on her increased, seemingly becoming the darling of the Great Dao, inherently close to it.

"This is the Innate Dao Embryo!"

Lu Xuanji said, though his mouth carried a hint of sourness.

The Innate Dao Body not only amplifies one’s cultivation speed; it also nurtures Innate Dao Patterns within, inherently close to the Dao, and can enhance one’s comprehension.

This kind of physique offers subtle advantages in the initial stages but becomes increasingly terrifying in the later stages.

There was once a cultivator who, upon awakening their Spirit Root, was merely a Five Spirit Roots. Logically speaking, it was almost hopeless, and they could only reach the fifth layer of Qi Cultivation after a lifetime of hardship;

But this cultivator had the Innate Dao Embryo, leveraging the physique’s bonus, becoming comparable to Four Spirit Roots in the Qi Cultivation Stage, and barely achieving Foundation Establishment at seventy; but upon entering Foundation Establishment, the physique’s bonus made their cultivation speed comparable to Three Spirit Roots; in the Purple Mansion Period, their cultivation speed was comparable to Dual Spirit Roots.

In the Golden Core Stage, their cultivation speed was comparable to an Anomalous Spirit Root.

In the Nascent Soul Stage, their cultivation speed was comparable to a Celestial Spirit Root.

All things hold a glimmer of hope.

If a cultivator has Five Spirit Roots, it is nearly hopeless; but with the speed boost of an Innate Dao Embryo, there’s hope to change destiny.

The Innate Dao Embryo is even rarer than a Celestial Spirit Root.

"Is the Innate Dao Embryo powerful?"

Ye Feixue asked with a smile.

"Very powerful, second only to the Immortal Body!" Lu Xuanji replied.

"So, it’s not the strongest. I thought it was a top-tier physique." Ye Feixue sighed.

Bam!

Lu Xuanji directly flicked her forehead.

"What are you thinking? Why don’t you think about ascending to heaven?" Lu Xuanji said, "Physique is important, but also not important. Of all the Celestial Spirit Roots, Anomalous Spirit Roots, and special physiques in the world, how many truly become Nascent Soul True Monarchs? This involves an elusive aspect of destiny."

"Destiny? I will seize the fortune of heaven and earth, achieve Nascent Soul True Monarch, and even become a Divinity Transformation!"

Ye Feixue said firmly, "Protecting brother until the end of time."

"I hope so. Remember to conceal your identity when outside!"

Lu Xuanji said, "The strong becoming stronger is a pattern to trace. The rise of any powerful cultivator requires enormous resources, merely absorbing Spiritual Qi is not enough, they also need to purchase various elixirs to improve their cultivation and break bottlenecks!"

"Dan Yang Sect, by controlling the amount of resources and their flow, controls the speed of Twelve Commanderies’ cultivators’ advancement and the number of strong cultivators."

"Only the Celestial Spirit Root and the Innate Dao Embryo are exceptions, because they need very few resources to continuously grow stronger, relying little on external aids. Invisibly, they act as disruptors to the order, challengers to the order, which is very dangerous. Remember to wear a disguise when going out."

"Understood. Most of the time, I stay at Changyuan Mountain, rarely going out!"

Ye Feixue promised.

Lu Xuanji said, "As long as you know, with your kind of talent, it’s best to take the ’cautious path’!"

"The ’cautious path’, I don’t like it at all..."

Ye Feixue began shaking her head and said, "Living in this world, one should live freely, live with a spirit that swallows mountains and rivers, and an aggressive aura. Cultivating immortality, seeking longevity, attesting to eternity, pursuing the Great Dao, but often times, it’s not the physical body and lifespan that restrain, but the spirit.

If the mind is not at ease, and one lives in oppression, mental ambition is not satisfied, spirit intention cannot be fulfilled, and one remains depressed all year round, what meaning does such longevity have, what more is there to cultivate immortality or attest the Dao?"

"You still haven’t grown up, you’re still a child."

Lu Xuanji said, subconsciously stepping forward to stroke her head.

Ye Feixue also lowered her head, leaning into his embrace, conveniently allowing for a head pat.

Feeling the girl so close, smelling her fragrance, sensing her aura, yet there was no hint of romance, no emotional fluctuation.

Perhaps too familiar, instead there was no feeling.

"I don’t want to grow up!"

Ye Feixue stated, "If the cost of growing up is the Dragon Slayer becoming an Evil Dragon, if growing up means learning to give up, if growing up is losing courage and becoming timid, if growing up is being cautious to gain satisfaction, then I’d rather never grow up!"

...

After a brief conversation, Lu Xuanji left.

The door of the cave mansion closed again.

Ye Feixue sat solemnly on the Dao Platform, silent, just contemplating.

The cave mansion became incredibly quiet, an icy edge in the silence.

"Brother, in the past you protected me; in the future, I will protect you. You’re merely a Three Spirit Roots, seems a bit tricky!"

Ye Feixue looked solemn, pondering over the future.

She was a bit worried for her brother.

Brother only has Three Spirit Roots and did not awaken any special physique upon entering Foundation Establishment, just a Mortal Body.

Such aptitude is considered genius by outside cultivators.

But in her eyes, it seemed lacking.

With such aptitude, the probability of achieving the Purple Mansion Realm is only ten percent; and achieving the Golden Core probability is very low, almost impossible.

The only chance for brother to progress to Golden Core is to invest resources.

Over the years, why can’t many cultivation clans in the Land of the Twelve Commanderies produce Golden Core cultivators? Is it because those clan cultivators have poor qualifications, unable to step into Golden Core?

Absolutely not!

It’s actually because all resources are monopolized by the Dan Yang Sect; those clans lack the resources to nurture a Golden Core cultivator.

Qi Cultivation, Foundation Establishment, Purple Mansion, Golden Core, these four realms require a lot of resources.

With enough resources, even someone with Five Spirit Roots can become Golden Core.

The Celestial Spirit Root is the strongest, not for being invincible at the same realm, but for high efficiency in absorbing Spiritual Qi, low resource consumption, fast upgrading speed, and needing no elixirs, just inhaling Spiritual Qi can quickly advance.

Even when the Dan Yang Sect monopolizes most resources, and resources are insufficient, they can still advance quickly.

By awakening the Innate Dao Embryo, constantly resonating with heaven and earth, constantly responding to the Great Dao, the cultivation speed is greatly enhanced, leveling up once every three years, taking only thirty years to reach the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment. Then, with twenty more years of realization, it’ll be enough to break through the barriers and step into the Purple Mansion Realm.

By then, I can protect my brother.

However, a Purple Mansion Cultivator over eighty years old might attract some top cultivators’ fantasies, not very safe.

"It’s best to cultivate a clone to walk outside to attract other cultivators’ attention!"
