Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster

Chapter 1991: Chapter 732: Unimaginable Cultivation Speed, Late Bloomer

Of course, on the surface, his expression did not show.

After retracting the Nascent Soul Domain, he asked, ”Did you notice anything special within?”

Luo Chen was taken aback, what’s different, isn’t it just a simple domain clash?

But immediately, he seemed to realize something.

In that direct collision just now, besides the free Spirit Qi attracted from heaven and earth, there was also the Qi Power from both cultivators.

Yet, in his perception, although Zhou Yunshen’s Qi Power was strong, it was by no means a heaven and earth difference compared to his own.

The reason why his domain was utterly defeated was actually the result of the cultivator’s Qi Power and Heaven and Earth Qi working together.

Luo Chen hesitated and said, ”The pure comparison of our Qi Power doesn’t seem that great?”

Zhou Yunshen chuckled, ”No wonder you, even as a Rogue Cultivator, could advance to the Nascent Soul Stage as Huang Independent Cultivator. Your insight is outstanding, seeing the big picture from small details.”

”Friend, please speak forthrightly!”

Zhou Yunshen put away his smile and said seriously, ”For us cultivators, a pure comparison of Qi Power, unless it’s a Great Cultivator in the Late Stage Nascent Soul, the gap between each other is not great. The significant difference during a combat fight is due to multiplying this difference by leveraging Spirit Qi from the Outer World through Qi Power.”

”The battles between Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators are no longer about simple magic item confrontations or physical exchange but emphasize leveraging Heaven and Earth Qi.”

”Whether it is a Nascent Soul Domain or a True Device that can communicate with Outer World Spirit Qi, they all reflect this method.”

Luo Chen frowned, pondering deeply over the other’s words.

If he used his usual quantitative thinking to understand, roughly it should be one, two, three, four, five, six, to respond to each level of Nascent Soul Stage Qi Power.

The difference between one and two is indeed not large, and even between one and five, one and six, it’s within normal range.

But once it involves combat, it cannot be compared with simple addition and subtraction.

The Qi Power level of one can leverage basically only one measure of Heaven and Earth Qi.

But the Qi Power level of two can leverage at least two, or even three or four, or more.

Under such comprehensive circumstances, it would form one times one, less than two times two, two times three.

If the realm span is enhanced further, it would form one times one, much less than five times five, five times six, seven, eight, and so on.

This is also why his domain clash just now was completely no match for Zhou Yunshen without employing the Melting Void method.

Considering this, when he previously faced Blood Nightmare Mo Luo and even the Lie Tian Sect Master, his domain was actually at a disadvantage, only compensated by the Melting Void secret technique he realized on his own.

Following this lead, Luo Chen asked a few more questions.

”Before the Late Stage of Nascent Soul, there is no absolute Qi Power gap, the real gap is in leveraging Heaven and Earth Qi?”

”Yes.”

”Is there a way to reduce this gap?”

”Certainly, high-order spells, innate divine abilities, even secret techniques, physique, and the True Devices we commonly use, all can! As for the specific situation, it varies from person to person.”

”May I ask, was that your full strength just now?”

”Haha, I’m getting old; using my full strength can harm my body severely. Besides, didn’t you also hold back, Independent Cultivator?”

The extended topic ended here.

Luo Chen returned to the original topic, even more puzzled.

”For us cultivators, enhancing realm, the most basic is the increase in Qi Power. Since the Qi Power gap in each realm is not large, why is the cultivation time for Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators often counted in centuries for a small realm?”

Zhou Yunshen pointed to the sky and said matter-of-factly, ”The higher the realm, the stronger the Qi Power, the more Heaven and Earth Qi it can leverage. But the more Qi it leverages, the greater the backlash, and the easier it is for a cultivator’s nascent soul to lose oneself and be assimilated by the Heaven and Earth. Therefore, the more vigorously we cultivators advance, the more cautiously we must proceed, frequently sorting through our own Qi Power, allowing no negligence.”

”But isn’t there the Purple Mansion Barrier?”

”Haha, Friend, don’t you know that the Purple Mansion Barrier originates from the evolution of Spirit Root?”

Luo Chen was taken aback, then suddenly realized.

For humans to cultivate immortality, a Spirit Root is necessary, yet Spirit Root is merely a general term, and itself is in three parts.

One at the tip of the tongue, one in the Dantian, one in the sperm housing or uterus.

The former affects the sensitivity to perceive Outer World Spirit Qi and absorption efficiency and so on. There are those in the world with crippled limbs, but rarely high-realm cultivators without a tongue root.

The latter is not so crucial, as long as Primordial Yang/Primordial Yin is not lost before Foundation Establishment.

The most important is the Dantian.

The higher the realm, the more the Dantian will constantly change, from initially opening the Dantian to Dantian Sea Transformation, and eventually deriving the Purple Mansion.

So strictly speaking, indeed, the Purple Mansion is a product of Spirit Root evolution!

Zhou Yunshen spoke the most basic things; the reasoning was also simply straightforward.

”The fewer Spirit Roots, the easier it is to accurately perceive the corresponding Spirit Qi attributes, the easier it is to absorb, and the natural faster cultivation speed.”

”Therefore, Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivators are known as the favorites of heaven and earth.”

”But that is only limited to before the Nascent Soul Realm!”

”After the Nascent Soul, as Spirit Roots evolve into the Purple Mansion, the fewer the number, the smaller the Purple Mansion, the thinner the barrier, appearing more in harmony with the heaven and earth. But how dare we completely merge into heaven and earth?”

Zhou Yunshen smiled at Luo Chen and asked, ”You must have heard the most widespread rumor in the Immortal Cultivation World about the cultivation speed of Heavenly Spirit Root Cultivators.”

Luo Chen replied without hesitation, ”Ten years for Foundation Establishment, a hundred years for Core Formation, two hundred years for Nascent Soul Formation, five hundred years for... Divine Transformation.”

As he spoke, his tone gradually hesitated, yet there was a sense of great revelation on his face.

Combining the few days of simple exchanges with True Master Langya earlier, the question that troubled him for days was instantly resolved.
