Immortal Ascension Through Marriage: Investing in My Wife Get Returns

[Ding!]

[The Host has engaged in a profound, long-desired intimate moment with his Dao Companion.]

[Calculating 1,000,000X Return...]

[Return Calculated: The Host has been awarded the Ancient Grade Elixir — The Nine Essence Genesis Pill!]

In the master suite, while Bai Qingyue slept peacefully against his chest, Lin Yuan’s deep purple eyes opened. Within his spatial ring, a profound weight suddenly materialized. With a mere flick of his divine sense, a pill the size of a longan fruit appeared, hovering an inch above his palm.

The pill was perfectly spherical, its surface flowing with nine distinct colors that swirled and intertwined like the atmospheric bands of a primordial gas giant. Each color seemed to contain its own profound energy, yet all nine moved together in perfect harmony.

It looked less like an ordinary elixir and more like a condensed miniature galaxy, as though an entire celestial world had been compressed into the size of a pill.

As Lin Yuan carefully extended his Spirit Severing divine sense into the pill, a vast and overwhelming flood of knowledge suddenly cascaded into his Sea of Consciousness.

His mind trembled.

For a moment, countless words, principles, and diagrams flashed through his consciousness like fragments of a forgotten civilization. Each piece of knowledge was profound beyond measure, containing secrets that had long since vanished from the current cultivation world.

Only then did Lin Yuan truly understand the magnitude of what the system had bestowed upon him.

In the current era of the Nine Provinces, cultivators who broke through to the Spirit Severing realm were almost singularly focused on one thing: cultivating their Dao Resolve until it reached the Tenth Step, then using that perfected Dao Heart to withstand the transformation of absorbing Origin Energy and forming a Primordial Spirit.

To them, the Spirit Severing realm was merely a bridge.

A dangerous but necessary stage that had to be crossed as quickly as possible before stepping into the far greater realm of Soul Transformation.

Very few cultivators would willingly spend additional time perfecting their foundations once they had reached the later stages of Spirit Severing.

The knowledge contained within the pill, however, revealed an entirely different truth.

The true experts of the ancient era, the primordial gods who had first mapped the Great Dao and walked paths that later generations could only dream of, had never been so impatient.

They did not rush toward Soul Transformation.

They did not treat Spirit Severing as a temporary bridge.

Instead, before attempting to undergo Soul Transformation, they would spend countless years meticulously tempering and perfecting what were known as the Nine Essences of Cultivation.

Every essence represented a fundamental aspect of a cultivator’s existence.

Body.

Spiritual power.

Dao.

Soul.

Nascent Soul.

Dao Heart.

Origin.

Life.

And finally, the harmony between them all.

According to it, a cultivator who failed to perfect these nine essences before reaching Soul Transformation possessed a fundamentally flawed foundation.

The ancient experts had even left behind a harsh warning.

Stepping into Soul Transformation without perfecting the Nine Essences was no different from building a divine palace upon a foundation of mud.

The palace might reach the heavens, but the moment a true storm arrived, its foundation would inevitably collapse.

Lin Yuan’s eyes gradually became more serious as he absorbed the knowledge. The cultivation methods of the current era had clearly deviated from the path followed by the ancient cultivators.

For instance, in body cultivation, where the ancient era differed drastically from the modern cultivation world.

According to Emperor Tianxu, who Lin Yuan had once known only as the old man with the brown-furred sable, the ancient cultivators had placed body cultivation on equal footing with spiritual cultivation. In that distant era, strengthening one’s physical body was not considered a secondary path or merely a supplement to spiritual cultivation.

It was a legitimate path to the Great Dao.

Ancient cultivators believed that the body was the vessel that carried the soul and Dao. A cultivator with overwhelming spiritual power but a weak physical foundation was like a great river trapped inside a fragile clay vessel. The stronger the river became, the more likely the vessel was to shatter.

For that reason, the ancient experts tempered both their spiritual cultivation and their bodies, seeking perfection in every aspect of their existence.

And therefore the Nine Essence Genesis Pill was not merely a pill that increased cultivation, but It was a means of reconstructing the very foundation of a cultivator.

If Lin Yuan consumed it, the nine essences would simultaneously enter his body and begin an unprecedented process of refinement. His physical body, spiritual energy, soul, Nascent Soul, Dao Heart, vitality, and comprehension would all be tempered together.

It will be a rebirth of his cultivation foundation!

A profound light slowly appeared within Lin Yuan’s purple eyes.

And within the nine essences, the first was the Body Genesis Essence, which did not merely increase physical strength; it enacted a cellular rebirth. It was designed to greatly strengthen and refine the physical vessel, tempering muscles, bones, blood, organs, and the deepest spiritual meridians.

It would allow Lin Yuan’s body cultivation to advance at a terrifying rate, explicitly seeking out and repairing any hidden imperfections in his physical foundation that had been overlooked during his body forging.

The second was the Spiritual Genesis Essence,

A cultivator’s Qi was the fuel of their Dao. This essence purified and massively strengthened that spiritual energy. It forcefully expelled the ambient impurities left behind by the atmosphere of the Nine Provinces, increasing the density, the purity, and the sheer capacity of Lin Yuan’s spiritual power. It would transform his internal Qi from a flowing river into an ocean, allowing him to accumulate cultivation far faster than ordinary cultivators could ever dream.

The Dao Genesis Essence, which was perhaps the most esoteric of the enhancements, this essence directly augmented Lin Yuan’s comprehension. It enhanced his intrinsic understanding of the Great Dao. It allowed the cultivator’s mind to effortlessly perceive the underlying principles hidden within techniques, laws, and natural phenomena.

For a man who already possessed Against Heaven Understanding, this essence would act as an absolute multiplier, dramatically accelerating his Dao comprehension to the point where he could deconstruct enemy attacks before they were even fully cast.

Then came the Soul Genesis Essence. It was known that physical body could be healed, but a shattered soul was eternal death. This essence nourished and reinforced the soul and the Divine Sense. It forged an armor around the Sea of Consciousness, making Lin Yuan’s soul profoundly more resilient against soul attacks, illusions, demonic possession, and the crushing spiritual suppression of higher-realm entities. Furthermore, it would greatly expand the radius and clarity of his Divine Sense.

The fifth, the Nascent Soul Genesis Essence.

Despite having reached the Spirit Severing realm, the Nascent Soul remained the core avatar of a cultivator’s existence until the Primordial Spirit was formed. This essence perfected and stabilized that inner avatar. It meticulously removed any lingering weaknesses or imbalances within the Nascent Soul itself, making it extraordinarily stable and allowing it to safely contain vastly more spiritual power without risking a catastrophic Qi deviation.

Sixth, the Dao Heart Genesis Essence.

The core of the Spirit Severing realm was the Dao Resolve, which was entirely dependent on the Dao Heart. This essence tempered and strengthened the cultivator’s will. It served as an anchor, allowing Lin Yuan to remain completely unmoved by external temptations, fear, overwhelming killing intent, karmic interference, and the suffocating pressure of heavenly tribulations. It was the catalyst required to advance his Dao Resolve by leaps and bounds.

Seventh, the Origin Genesis Essence.

This was a paradox, yet a vital necessity. Origin Energy was lethal to anyone below Soul Transformation, but this essence allowed the cultivator to develop a deeper connection with Origin-level principles. Rather than directly absorbing Origin Energy into Lin Yuan’s meridians—which would blow him to bloody mist—it meticulously laid the absolute foundation necessary for him to safely comprehend, interact with, and eventually control Origin power when the time came.

Eighth, the Life Genesis Essence.

A cultivator’s journey was a war against time and death. This essence vastly strengthened Lin Yuan’s core life force and absolute vitality. It greatly increased his passive recovery ability, expanding his lifespan by a substantial margin, bolstering his resistance to crippling injuries, and granting him a terrifying, almost monstrous ability to regenerate damaged flesh, ruptured organs, and severed meridians in the heat of battle.

Finally, the Genesis Harmony Essence

The ancients knew that pouring eight supreme enhancements into a single vessel would cause the body to rip itself apart under the conflicting pressures. The ninth essence was the most critical. It harmonized the previous eight essences, completely preventing them from conflicting with one another.

It operated as the ultimate attachment, causing the body, spiritual energy, Nascent Soul, Dao Heart, and Origin comprehension to evolve simultaneously as one unified, flawless existence. It was this harmony that produced a foundation completely surpassing that of ordinary cultivators!
