I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 967: Chapter 531: Legal Body Nascent Soul, Return to the Sun Spirit Water (Monthly ticket additional 2046/20000) Chapter 967: Chapter 531: Legal Body Nascent Soul, Return to the Sun Spirit Water (Monthly ticket additional 2046/20000) Zhou Shengqing had long considered the possibility of failing his “Nascent Soul Formation”.

Thus, he had already written down the Reverse Longevity Technique on paper, and both Chen Mobai and Fu Zongjue had each taken a copy.

“This technique requires the cultivation of the Longevity Scripture to the eighteenth layer before it can be executed. Once it’s activated, the complete consumption of one’s spiritual power will result in certain death. Furthermore, during the operation of the technique, the vast spiritual consciousness of the Everlife Wood will continuously assimilate your divine sense. If you can’t hold on, it will reverse and turn you into nourishment for the tree.”

As Zhou Shengqing spoke, the Soul Summoning Lamp cracked open once again.

“Brother…”

Seeing this, Mo Douguang started to say something but then hesitated.

“The sect will be entrusted to you in the future. After I am gone, cremate my body and, if there’s a chance, bury me next to our master’s grave.”

Before his death, Zhou Shengqing had completely let go. What emerged in his mind were scenes from his youth, of chopping logs in the mountains and encountering Ancestor Hunyuan falling from the sky.

“Yes, Brother.”

After hearing this, Fu Zongjue and Chen Mobai solemnly paid their respects to Zhou Shengqing’s apparition.

“This is my storage bag, the spirit stones and miscellaneous items inside are all left for the sect.”

Zhou Shengqing waved his hand, and a cyan storage bag already opened. He took out a set of wooden armor and three Taoist talisman papers.

“Junior Brother Chen, you have many magical tools, so I will leave this set of Divine Wood Armor for Junior Brother Fu.”

Chen Mobai nodded upon hearing this, and Fu Zongjue immediately took the Lifespan Artifact that had belonged to Zhou Shengqing with great care.

“The talisman papers are Rank-4 Spirit Leaf Talismans; each of you take one.”

Chen Mobai, Fu Zongjue, and Mo Douguang all nodded and each received one.

Afterwards, Zhou Shengqing took out a golden talisman brush, his face showing a hint of reluctance, and he tossed it to Chen Mobai.

“Junior Brother Chen, this is a Third Rank Superior Grade Sun Chasing Talisman Brush, a gift from the master and our Fourth Sister on my two-hundredth birthday. Only you within the sect are proficient in the way of talismans, so I am giving this to you.”

“Thank you, Brother, for this treasure!”

When Chen Mobai received the talisman brush, he felt an unprecedented weight.

“Junior Brother Mo, thank you for guarding me and the Divine Wood Sect all these years. Take this storage bag.”

Mo Douguang did not say much, silently taking the small storage bag Zhou Shengqing passed to him.

“And these, I do not know what treasures they may yield.”

After distributing all his valuables, Zhou Shengqing smiled and took out four more storage bags, which belonged to the Golden Core Cultivators he had slain.

All but Zhao Xuankang, who with his old cunning had destroyed his own bag, were there.

Zhou Shengqing first opened the storage bag that belonged to a loose cultivator. Aside from twenty or so top-grade spirit stones, a few water attribute Cultivation Technique manuals was a bottle sealed with a strong barrier.

But with Zhou Shengqing’s current realm, he easily broke the seal.

Inside were three blood-red spirit pills radiating a faint fragrance. Chen Mobai was completely unfamiliar with the pills of the Tianhe Realm, but Zhou Shengqing seemed to recognize them.

“These should be Blood Spirit Pills; they are useful for Golden Core Cultivators looking to break through their bottlenecks. However, whether they are or not, you should have Zeng Woyou or perhaps consult Yan Shaoyin to identify them later.”

Zhou Shengqing was mainly proficient in talisman paper and his knowledge of elixirs was limited to what he had heard.

If they were indeed Blood Spirit Pills, then the gains from this first storage bag were quite reasonable.

Zhou Shengqing smiled as he opened the remaining three storage bags of the Ghost Cultivators, a potted plant as black as ink, thick as an arm and shaped like a coiling dragon immediately drew all of their attention.

This potted plant had no leaves, and its branches were like ink jade, shimmering with a dark green luster under the spiritual light, deep and soul captivating.

“A Rank-4 Soul Nourishing Wood!”

After Fu Zongjue appraised it, he couldn’t help but exclaim, but then his face was filled with regret.

“If only it were Rank-5!”

A Rank-5 Soul Nourishing Wood could allow a Golden Core Cultivator who failed at Nascent Soul Formation to give up their physical body and transform into a Legal Body Nascent Soul, which would perfectly suit Zhou Shengqing’s current situation.

“Even if it were Rank-5, without the Method for Legal Body Nascent Soul and the Return to the Sun Spirit Water, what use would it be?”

When Zhou Shengqing first saw the Soul Nourishing Wood, he was somewhat pleasantly surprised, but he quickly realized the situation and couldn’t help but sigh.

To transform into a Legal Body Nascent Soul, besides the Soul Nourishing Wood, one would also need a Spiritual Liquid called “Return to the Sun Spirit Water” to protect the Divine Sense.

The Divine Wood Sect had none of these three requirements.

“Brother, take a look at this alchemy recipe!”

At that moment, Fu Zongjue, who had scanned all the items from the storage bags of the three ghost cultivators with his Divine Sense, instantly discovered something valuable.

It happened to be the alchemy recipe for Return to the Sun Spirit Water.

Just by looking at the elegant appearance of the storage bag, it likely belonged to the ghost cultivator who had taken possession of Madame Guo’s corpse. It was unclear why she had such a recipe in her collection.

“It is a Fourth Grade Superior alchemy recipe. Even Yan Shaoyin might not be confident about refining it. Many of the medicinal ingredients listed are remarkably precious, and many can only be found in the Underworld…”

After looking at the recipe, everyone shook their heads and sighed once more.

“Brother Zhou, how long could your soul last if it were sheltered within this Soul Nourishing Wood?”

Chen Mobai suddenly asked.

He himself possessed a piece of Rank-3 Soul Nourishing Wood and was deeply knowledgeable about such rare treasures of heaven and earth. He knew that in Zhou Shengqing’s current condition, with his essence completely drained by the Everlife Wood, it was possible to transfer his soul and Divine Sense into the Soul Nourishing Wood to cling onto life.

“This Soul Nourishing Wood belonged to that Dark Lord, who himself was on the verge of becoming a Ghost King; likely, it was prepared for his own ascension. The grade is almost Rank-5, so if I transfer my soul into it, I should be able to sustain for about a hundred years or so.”

Zhou Shengqing estimated his own situation and made a judgment.

But once he entered the Soul Nourishing Wood, he could only transform into a ghost cultivator, or a Legal Body Nascent Soul, and would no longer be able to undergo reincarnation.

If he became a ghost cultivator, there would be no talk of an afterlife.

As for the Legal Body Nascent Soul, at the end of his life span, he would need to use a Pure Yang Magical Tool to liberate himself and dissolve into reincarnation.

Coincidentally, what Chen Mobai lacked the least was the Pure Yang Magical Tool.

“If you trust me, brother, I guarantee that within a hundred years, I can find you the Method for Legal Body Nascent Soul and the Return to the Sun Spirit Water.”

When Chen Mobai said this, his tone was firm and confident.

But this meant Zhou Shengqing had to make a choice.

What the next life held, nobody could say for sure.

According to the situation in the Tianhe Realm, there was a ninety-nine percent chance of being a mortal without a Spiritual Root.

Having glimpsed the Realm of Core Formation, how could Zhou Shengqing be willing to give up everything in this life to gamble on such a minuscule future possibility?

“Hahaha, if there’s a chance to ascend further in this life, what is a hundred years of solitude?”

Seeing the opportunity for a Legal Body Nascent Soul, Zhou Shengqing thought it over and no longer hesitated. He immediately extracted his soul and Heart and Mind from the Soul Lantern, transforming into a wisp of blue smoke that settled into the Soul Nourishing Wood.
