Chapter 738: Formal Initiation
The old man smiled bitterly, ”I understand what you mean, in fact, the concepts that I have imparted to you like this are all mature experiences that I have accumulated after creating the Shangqing Yuanqi Dao.
And the biggest difference between the Shangqing Yuanqi Dao and those sect techniques of the ordinary imperial continent is at the fundamental entry point!
The original power cultivators of the five great dynasties that you have experienced, just like the beings of our Dynasty Continent, are all using that old method of initiation to cultivate, using the method of opening acupoints and condensing qi as the standard of initiation, using qi to open acupoints, the efficiency of cultivation is extremely low, and also consumes a great deal of time, and if you want to obtain the realm of advancement, the progress is quite slow.
You guys have also fought with that strong little guy before, he is the more talented amongst my clan, and has been cultivating for hundreds of thousands of years, and only now is he at the level that you have seen.
On the other hand, my Shangqing Yuanqi Dao, which uses the soul origin to open the acupuncture points, first passes through the internal vision, observes the heart and reverses the veins, and then proceeds to condense the qi, has a completely different effect.
However, the cultivation method of the Shangqing Yuanqi Dao requires too much strength of the soul origin, and essentially speaking, it is not suitable for the physique of the beings in our imperial continent, but in this continent, there are traces of it.
This cave appeared to be very ancient and simple, and did not have any extra modifications, it was purely a hidden place for people to cultivate.
At this moment, Xu Yang and the three of them sat around the old man, listening to him recount some of the historical origins of the Primordial Power, as well as some basic knowledge about the Primordial Continent, the three of them gained a deep understanding of the introductory cultivation of this Primordial Power lineage.
To be fair, this lineage of inheritance was actually quite profound, the reason why Xu Yang and the three of them were able to get started so quickly was because the old man who taught the three of them was the mastermind of the primal force.
One had to admit, having such an unrivaled top tier Primordial Power Master to teach them, was able to save the three of them a considerable amount of time.
If it wasn’t for the layer of relationship between Beacon Infinite and the Empress, it would have been almost impossible for Xu Yang to obtain this old man’s true teachings.
And according to his original plan, after completing this Ten Directions Valley mission, obtaining the cultivation method of Primordial Power from the Ancient Xia Dynasty’s son was the only channel to get started.
Now after listening to the old man’s words, Xu Yang was really thankful, if he had not encountered this Primordial Power Collector by mistake, I’m afraid that following the cultivation of the Seizi’s lineage of techniques would have taken an unimaginable amount of energy.
”Alright, let’s cut the small talk short, let’s start the introductory operation right away, the three of you first follow my instructions, open up your soul origin, and use the connection between the eight meridians in your body to achieve the widest possible range of internal visualization effects.”
This introductory operation is quite crucial, it is the foundation step of the Ten Thousand Fathoms Platform, and it will directly affect your subsequent cultivation speeds, as well as the heights that you will eventually be able to reach in the Realm of Primordial Power, the three of you must do your utmost.”
The three of them, Xu Yang, immediately nodded their heads in agreement.
Listening to so much that the old man had just recounted before, Xu Yang’s trio knew very well that this Inner Vision level directly determined the upper limit of this lineage’s cultivation, thus there was no room for ambiguity.
”Good, now operate as I said, condense a pure soul origin, then enter the resonance state of mind and eye in the same body, use the heart instead of the eyes, and integrate all the perceptions that are external to the surrounding area into this little bit of soul origin, and then centralize this little bit of origin to guide it out of the Soul World, and into the depths of your bloodline.”
As soon as the old man’s words fell, the three Xu Yangs immediately began to take action.
The Empress was considered to be one of the first to enter the ideal state, after all, she was the daughter of the Wind and Fire Infinite, her innate talent naturally went without saying, and most importantly, she had already lived amongst the systems of the Worlds of the Heavens for hundreds of thousands of years, and was several times older than Xu Yang and Little Flower.
Although she had lost her godly character and did not possess the godly inheritance that she had back then, her soul had been refined over these hundreds of thousands of years.
Soon, in the depths of Empress Isis’s soul, an incomparably bright golden light shone out from the center of the endless darkness, and that little light represented her unparalleled, most excellent divine soul origin as a bloodline of the God King.
The Empress did her best to condense her spiritual power, and that point of light quickly transformed into its full form, which was clearly the outline of a gold-colored longsword that represented the divine Realm.
The endless light released by this sword soon lit up her entire soul world on a large scale, and after completing this most basic step, she followed the old man’s guidance and began to direct this golden-colored radiant sword deeper into her body chakra.
Although the female empress was the most rapid in condensing this soul essence, she encountered unprecedented trouble when completing this second stage of breakthrough.
The fundamental reason was that the empress’s current physical body was not her original physical body at all, and many of the seven meridians and eight veins were completely impassable, which brought great difficulty to her second stage of opening up the original power cultivation system.
As expected, the empress soon raised her eyebrows, her forehead sweating profusely.
The old man quickly sensed the empress’s soul agitation and leisurely opened his mouth to mention something.
”Girl, cultivating primal power largely depends on fate, there is no need to force everything, even if you are unable to open up a large enough primal power cultivation system, even if you are only able to feel a single acupoint and condense a single qi cyclone, as long as this is cultivated to the extreme, you will likewise be able to become a leader amongst the cultivators of primal power.”
As expected, after the old man’s words, the pressure inside the empress’s heart instantly became much smaller, and it was this release of pressure that in turn helped the empress to break the calm one after another, as this golden-colored soul essence of hers released an even more powerful light, and under this ray of light’s opening, the second stage of the Inner Vision link became even smoother for her.
Following closely behind the second one to finish condensing their soul essence was Little Flower.
There was no doubt that this fellow’s cultivation hours were also above Xu Yang’s, so the first session of molding was also quite easy for her.
Little Flower’s soul origin was an exquisite soul pagoda.
This pagoda emitted an incomparably bright seven-colored light, and the reason why it was able to produce such a change had a lot to do with the Nine Orifices Linglong Heart realm that she originally possessed.
After observing the progress of Little Flower’s soul form wandering, the old man also released a hint of surprise in his eyes.
”No wonder that kid Beacon Wuji also wanted to introduce the power of the primordial continent, to the entire system of the heavens, the top powerhouses of your continent are indeed more suitable for practicing primordial power than those rudimentary beings of the primordial continent, the advantage in terms of spiritual power is really too great.”
