Chapter 325: 325. The 4 Conditions for Advancing to Innate

In the gourd space.

Fang Zhou listened intently as Du Ruxue described her insights into the Innate Realm, much like a model student.

Du Ruxue had already reached the threshold of that realm. Although she was still far from succeeding, sharing her insights was no problem.

"Achoo!"

Fang Zhou suddenly sneezed twice. He rubbed his nose with his hand, wondering which lovestruck girl was praising him in private.

Du Ruxue paused, and Fang Zhou nodded slightly to signal her to continue.

In essence, Du Ruxue’s insights were about the differences between the Foundation Establishment and the Innate, or rather what needs to be achieved to advance to the Innate Realm.

Fang Zhou summarized them into four conditions for achievement.

The first is body enhancement. Cultivation never ceases, and neither does enhancement; strengthening is an eternal part of cultivation, which remains unchanged even at the Tribulation Ascension.

The reinforcement of the body from Qi Refinement to Foundation Establishment is a gradual process, from spiritual energy nourishment to cell strengthening. By the time one reaches the Innate Realm, it involves genetic level enhancement, no wonder it’s so challenging.

The second is the qualitative change triggered by the quantitative change, particularly regarding spiritual energy. Essentially, Innate True Qi is still spiritual energy, just transformed, much like the change from gas to liquid, causing an exponential rise in energy.

The third is the solidification of the Divine Soul, which is essentially the soul in this world, comprised of three souls and six spirits. Once solidified, it becomes unified and no longer dissipates, allowing one to reincarnate with a complete Divine Soul after death.

A solidified Divine Soul also has more effects, the most typical being an immunity to most spiritual attacks. Fang Zhou’s Illusion Technique is ineffective against the Innate Realm due to the opponent’s solid Divine Soul.

The fourth is the awakening and refinement of origin power, which Du Ruxue described vaguely because even she wasn’t fully comprehending. It’s said to involve the Divine Soul, carrying a strong personal imprint, and won’t disappear even through reincarnation.

Du Ruxue didn’t know the specifics of what origin power is used for, as it involves personal secrets, making it impossible for her to ask knowledgeable seniors, leaving her to explore on her own.

The above four points are the conditions needed to advance to the Innate Realm. Only after Fang Zhou listened did he understand why reaching the Innate Realm was so difficult. Just the first condition alone blocked numerous cultivators.

They likely didn’t even know what genes were, let alone actively seek enhancement, relying solely on the insights left behind by knowledgeable predecessors to explore step by step.

Fang Zhou contemplated that among these four conditions, the most difficult ones might be knowing how to start and how to succeed, with the process in between being less critical.

He then listed his own advantages.

The insights Du Ruxue taught him.

Sixty days of Wise Time twice.

System-rewarded Experience Capsule.

The sword pill obtained through dealings with the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Sword Lake Water full of spiritual energy and an abundance of elixirs.

Heaven and Earth Qiankun Technique’s Kun Chapter, the technique for the Innate Realm.

These advantages are the basis for Fang Zhou’s bold claim of reaching the Innate Realm in sixty days, qualifying him at least to attempt it.

Among these, the originally unremarkable Experience Capsule became the most crucial point.

Using the Experience Capsule provides 50% experience. Applying it at over fifty percent can take Fang Zhou straight to the success stage.

The previous cultivation can rely on skills and resources piled together. Once cultivation exceeds halfway, ingesting the Experience Capsule equates to success.

Fang Zhou gave Du Ruxue a pile of healing elixirs, sending her off to enjoy herself. Sixty days should suffice to heal her wounds thoroughly, making her robust.

As for himself, he hid away, taking out the Heaven and Earth Qiankun Technique to study.

This technique, passed to him by Yan Chixia, encompasses all stages From Beginner to Ascension, with Chapters on Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment in the beginning, and starting from the Innate, it’s a four-character Chapter.

They are Kun, Qian, Di, Tian; each character is a new technique, perhaps named out of laziness by its creator; it’s too careless.

However, for a pragmatist like Fang Zhou, it’s perfectly fine. Simplicity often implies strength and confidence, making it easy to comprehend.

Unlike other gaudy styles with lengthy names that are hard to even remember.

Fang Zhou first focused on memorizing the Kun Chapter thoroughly. Understanding comes later; memorization is the priority.

After memorization, he prepared all needed materials and penned down the steps and processes for advancing to the Innate’s four conditions.

The final step is patiently waiting out the cooldown of Wise Time.

...

With the healing elixirs, Du Ruxue’s wounds healed rapidly.

She was deeply curious about the world inside this Magic Treasure, wandering around and having explored the entire garbage mountain in no time, even discovering two peculiar individuals, though she didn’t disturb them.

Though there was no distinction between day and night in the gourd space, Du Ruxue was quite sensitive to time. Approximately ten days have passed since entering.

Apart from initially sharing some insights with Fang Zhou, she hadn’t seen him since, and she wondered what he was doing hidden away.

Unable to suppress her curiosity any longer, she strolled towards the houses in the middle of the garbage mountain, where Fang Zhou was hiding.

Fang Zhou firmly believed he could reach the Innate Realm within sixty days, but Du Ruxue didn’t believe it at all, thinking she was just wasting precious time with him.

Now, she was extremely curious about what Fang Zhou was up to while hiding. Was he engaging in closed-door cultivation?

But with only sixty days, no matter how hard one cultivates in seclusion, it won’t be effective.

Du Ruxue had been stuck at the Foundation Establishment Realm for nearly ten years, cultivating in seclusion for at least eight of those years, having not even met the first condition for advancing to the Innate.

If Fang Zhou made more progress in just sixty days of closed-door cultivation than she did, she might as well find a block of tofu to smash her head against and die.

If she couldn’t die from that, she might as well show off by eating shit while doing a handstand spiral.

However, she had already informed him of the difficulties in reaching the Innate Realm, yet he remained confident - could he have a special method?

With a heart brimming with curiosity, Du Ruxue approached the houses built by the gourd children, finding a room with its doors and windows securely closed.

She reached out and pushed, discovering the door was locked from the inside. Yet, she couldn’t sense anyone inside.

This, however, did not deter Du Ruxue. She raised her index and middle fingers on both hands, touching her temples, her dark eyes flickering with a glazed glow.

The door gradually turned transparent, revealing a room stacked with food and elixirs, with Fang Zhou sitting cross-legged at the center, eyes closed.

Indeed, he was in closed-door cultivation, with nothing exceptional about it.

Du Ruxue’s heart felt a sudden disappointment, which she promptly laughed off.

What was she expecting? He was but a child, overconfident from youthful ignorance - what special method could he have?

Once he realizes, after sixty days of closed-door cultivation, that he made no progress, he’ll probably be deeply disheartened...

As the disappointed Du Ruxue prepared to leave, she suddenly sensed something amiss.

He was clearly inside, so why couldn’t she feel his presence?

Du Ruxue continued to peek at Fang Zhou from outside the door, her eyes gradually widening with shock.
