Investiture of the Gods Xiao Sheng, the Poor Taoist Priest, Even Rogue Cultivators Have Human Rights

Chapter 3: Innate talent, breaking out of the cocoon!Chapter 3: Innate talent, breaking out of the cocoon!

This is the shackles brought by birth!
In the prehistoric world, those who were born of noble birth, such as the Three Pure Ones, possessed the cultivation of the Golden Immortal as soon as they were born, and also mastered the acquired treasure of merit, the Linglong Tower of Heaven and Earth. They also happened to encounter the twenty-four-grade green lotus of creation and decomposed it. Finally, they became disciples of Hongjun Daozu, received the grant of Hongmeng purple energy, and firmly sat on the throne of saint. This can be said to be the ”top configuration” of the prehistoric world.

However, saints like Jie Yin and Zhunti, although also saints destined by heaven, could only gain a foothold in the barren West. When they became saints, they needed the help of the power of heaven’s merits, just like borrowing external forces to climb to the top of a mountain. They did not have any treasures in their hands. Just their slightly inferior origins led to a situation that was as different as heaven and earth!

This is enough to show how important birth is in the ancient world!
It not only affects the speed of cultivation, determines the level of bottlenecks encountered on the road of cultivation, but is even closely connected with the invisible fate and destiny!

”The power of great merit is undoubtedly the best investment for improving the foundation of one’s origin!” Xiao Sheng’s eyes flickered and he made a decision in an instant. With a thought in his mind, the value of great merit in his personal interface dropped sharply by 500,000 points in an instant!
Immediately afterwards, an overwhelming warmth instantly filled my whole body.

Under the baptism of this warm current, Xiao Sheng felt unprecedented comfort, his body was shining, and there seemed to be thunder roaring deep in his blood, as if a revolutionary transformation was taking place from the source of his life.

In an instant, a ray of pure light that originated from the innate nature gushed out from Xiao Sheng’s body. Under the catalysis of the power of the great virtue, his origin and foundation actually leaped from the acquired level to the innate level of human beings!
However, the warm current did not stop, and continued to refine his foundation, sublimating it again!

Inferior innate qualifications!

Middle-grade innate qualifications!

It was not until he was promoted to the middle-grade innate qualification level that the 500,000 points of great merit were completely exhausted!

At this moment, Xiao Sheng was deeply experiencing the earth-shaking changes in his body. Compared with before, his cultivation progress was like a rebirth, and it was improved by more than a thousand times. His soul was extremely clear, and all the troubles in his previous cultivation were now suddenly illuminated by the light of wisdom. At the same time, an invisible force of luck was also quietly growing, helping him to make further progress on the road of cultivation.

”continue!”

After realizing the benefits brought by the sublimation of his foundation, Xiao Sheng made a decisive decision and poured the remaining 500,000 points of great merit into his body.

hum!
When the merits of the Great Dao were completely integrated into his flesh, blood, and bones, his foundation would make another breakthrough, leaping from a middle-grade innate foundation to a high-grade innate foundation!

In this primitive world, the foundation is divided into four levels: acquired foundation, innate foundation, innate sacred foundation and chaotic foundation. Each level is further divided into four grades: inferior, middle, superior and top.

Among the four major sects in the ancient times, generally speaking, the disciples all have an innate sacred foundation, such as the famous Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

If one can reach a top-grade innate foundation, he can be considered excellent even if he is a disciple of a saint. The third-generation disciples such as Yang Jian and Nezha are no better than this.

At this moment, Xiao Sheng clearly felt the unprecedented changes in himself. The vitality of heaven and earth within a thousand miles around him surged in like a tide and formed a vortex-shaped spirit gathering array above his head.

At all times, the vast and boundless vital energy was like a river flowing back, continuously pouring into his body.

After the transformation of the foundation, the cultivation will naturally enter a stage of explosive growth.

Xiao Sheng seized the opportunity, calmed his mind, and frantically refined the huge amount of vital energy that he had taken into his body.

During this process, his cultivation level was rising at a speed that was clearly visible, like a meteor chasing the moon!
The initial stage of true wonderland!
True intermediate level of fairyland!
True fairyland high level!
The pinnacle of true wonderland!
”call!”

Xiao Sheng slowly opened his eyes, with a sharp light flashing in them.

At this moment, he has successfully reached the peak of the True Immortal Realm. The magic power in his body is extremely strong, and the aura emanating from his body has obviously undergone a qualitative change compared to before.

More importantly, due to the improvement of his foundation, his future path of cultivation will be smoother, whether he is promoted to the Xuanxian realm or the higher level Jinxian realm, it will be like flowing water, without any obstacles!
“This is extremely comfortable!”

”Next, it’s time to refine the magic weapon.” As his mind moved slightly, a long spear as black as ink appeared in front of Xiao Sheng, flowing with the power of the Hunyuan Law. It was the Hunyuan Star Halberd bestowed by the system, which contained a full twenty levels of innate restrictions. Even among mid-grade innate magic weapons, it could be considered a top-notch work.

”So heavy!”

As soon as Xiao Sheng grasped the halberd, he couldn’t help but be secretly shocked. At this moment, his foundation had transformed and his physique was no longer comparable to the past. Even moving mountains and filling the sea could be handled with ease.

However, holding the halberd, he still felt an unbearable heaviness. Its weight alone was probably enough to smash a celestial being to death!
Standing in the turbulence of time that was a hundred times faster, Xiao Sheng concentrated his mind and officially began to refine the innate restriction.

Maybe it’s the system’s masterpiece.

The originally complicated innate restrictions now seemed to be quite smooth and unobstructed during the smelting process.

In an instant, Xiao Sheng had successfully smelted the eighth level of innate restriction and began to use the Hunyuan Star Halberd for his own use!
hum!
The spiritual treasure hides its own edge!

At this moment, after completing the initial smelting, the Hunyuan Star Halberd suddenly burst out with thousands of feet of starlight, as if it wanted to draw the power of the nine heavens stars to pour down. Just a quick glance was enough to show its extraordinary excellence.

Generally speaking, the restrictions of mid-grade innate spiritual treasures are difficult to fully control unless you are a strong person in the Golden Immortal Realm.

Xiao Sheng today is still in the realm of true immortality. Although he can only perform preliminary smelting, it is more than enough for his current level of cultivation!
”System, open the personal attributes interface.”

Feeling the sublimation of his own strength, Xiao Sheng’s face was filled with confidence. As soon as he finished speaking, a curtain of light appeared before his eyes again.

Personal properties interface.
Name: Xiao Sheng

Foundation: Innate superior foundation

Cultivation: Peak of the True Fairyland
Magical weapon: Hunyuan Xingchen Halberd (partially smelted)
Status: Heyday

Annotation: The Honghuang cultivation system is divided into - refining of essence and energy, integration of energy and spirit, return of spirit to the true nature, true unity with the Great Dao, human immortal, celestial immortal, true immortal, mysterious immortal, golden immortal, Taiyi golden immortal, Daluo golden immortal, quasi-sage, and saint!
Each state is further divided into four stages: initial stage, middle stage, late stage and complete stage.
…………

“Pretty good!”

Facing the personal attribute interface in front of him, Xiao Sheng couldn’t help but smile with satisfaction.

Today, he has reached the peak of the True Immortal Realm, and with the support of a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Hunyuan Star Halberd, if he exerts his full strength, he can sweep away even a strong man from the Profound Immortal Realm!

This is not uncommon in the prehistoric world. Often at the low-level practice stage, if one can master a powerful magic weapon, it is normal to challenge or even defeat opponents across levels.

For example, Zhao Gongming in the Conferred Gods Battle, used the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls in his hands to force the Taoist Master Ran Deng to flee in a panic; Kong Xuan, on the other hand, was known as the strongest man under the saints because of the five-colored divine light transformed from the five-colored divine feathers on his back, which could sweep away everything. In the end, it took the intervention of Zhunti himself to save him.

From this perspective, the improvement in combat effectiveness that a powerful magic weapon can bring is undoubtedly immeasurable.

”Next, it’s time to settle accounts with that evil snake!”

Xiao Sheng whispered, and a cold murderous intent quietly emerged on his face.
