Chapter 625 - 308: Feng Jue’s Choice, the Lu Family’s Plan
The Celestial Yin Qi Absorption Technique can only be used at the time of Core Formation. It consumes nine Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects with each use, a huge cost that could drain the wealth of an ordinary mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator, making any form of practice beforehand impossible.
"Fellow Daoist Han, is there something wrong with this Celestial Yin Qi Absorption Technique?" Han Tianxing asked eagerly.
Wen Jiu did not respond.
But it’s not that he didn’t want to answer.
"If you divulge your plan to cultivate Feng Jue and your own plans to me, I can then share the concerns with you. Moreover, you will need to make a Heart Demon Oath, to ensure you conceal nothing and cannot deceive a single word."
Han Tianxing was momentarily speechless and hesitated. After all, the plan to cultivate Feng Jue and his plan to reconstruct his physical body were his last hopes. If he revealed everything and Han Li intervened...
Wen Jiu spoke indifferently, "If you’re unwilling to say, just take the Silencing Spell and Heart Demon Oath, and then you may leave."
Wen Jiu then emphasized again, "If Feng Jue encounters any mishap, you will disappear from this world in an instant."
Han Tianxing grew anxious, "Fellow Daoist Han, but with Feng Jue’s talent and age, it’s impossible for him to form the Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core without some sacrifice. Sacrifice is necessary, only by sacrificing certain things can he go further."
"It seems I guessed correctly." Wen Jiu was not surprised, considering Feng Jue’s foundation and fortune, achieving even a Middle-Grade Golden Core would already be the limit, "What needs to be sacrificed?"
After much hesitation, Han Tianxing, worried about Han Li turning against him, finally opened up, "The things that need to be sacrificed are known to Feng Jue, and he has no complaints. Firstly, there must be abandonment, severing ties with blood relatives on the path of ruthlessness; then there is transformation, once achieving Foundation Establishment Perfection, Feng Jue must leave his physical body, using Nine Yin Soul-Sealing Spirit Fire for soul refining, over three years, 1095 days, sealing his soul with spirit fire to become a Soul Cultivator.
However, leaving the body does not mean abandoning the physical body, as I’ve obtained a method for separate cultivation of soul and body from the ruins of a transcendent sect, as if it were an external object. But unlike an external object, after the soul leaves the body to become a Soul Cultivator, the body can still cultivate, and because it is Soulless the body will transform into a soulless dead thing, but with the existence of the Earth Yang Dao Foundation, Feng Jue’s body can be cultivated like an external object."
Feng Jue also understands that if he cultivates in the normal manner, he can never step into the Golden Core Dao in this lifetime, much less achieve the Nascent Soul Dao Fruit, so he is willing. Since Fellow Daoist Han treats him as a friend, he should also respect his choice."
His words ended, and Han Tianxing anxiously awaited Wen Jiu’s reaction, for this method essentially meant that Feng Jue would forsake human existence.
Neither human.
Nor soul.
More like an anomaly straddling between Human Race Cultivators and Soul Cultivators.
"Repeat what you said to me, to Feng Jue." Wen Jiu didn’t continue with questions, wanting to see Feng Jue’s choice.
After the words of Divine Sense from Han Tianxing, Feng Jue, who was initially able to talk and laugh with Wen Jiu, suddenly darkened in expression. After a brief silence, he said, "Brother Han, thank you for your concern, but this is indeed my choice, it’s about gain through loss. Elder Han has asked me many times about my thoughts, and I’ve never hesitated."
"Since it’s your choice, I won’t interfere." Wen Jiu expressed respect, stating that being human is not so imperative in this Cultivation Realm, then asked Han Tianxing again, "What are the chances for success?"
Han Tianxing hurriedly responded, "As long as we prepare properly, there is a ten-percent chance."
"And your plan?"
Wen Jiu asked again.
Han Tianxing seemed to have nothing to hide anymore, "My plan is to wait for the successful formation of the Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core, then use the Soul Cultivation Method I obtained along with Heaven-Reaching River Water and Tier Three Flesh Tai Sui to reconstruct my own body. The Heaven-Reaching River Water nourishes the body, the Meat Tai Water can assist in soul fusion, and the Soul Cultivation Method can take my physical body a step further."
Han Tianxing quickly added, "As for the cost, it’s just a matter of costing Feng Jue a hundred to two hundred years, but the lifespan of Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core far exceeds that of other Golden Cores, so a hundred or two hundred years is nothing."
"Elder Han’s grace to me is as deep as the Celestial Demon Sea beyond the Divine Fall Mountain Range, let alone a hundred to two hundred years, I’d willingly pay even five hundred years." Feng Jue quickly said, "And I believe Elder Han will not harm me."
Feng Jue’s gaze was firm as he looked at Wen Jiu with much gratitude, knowing the latter was considering his interest.
To have such a friend.
This life is worthwhile.
"Since it is your choice, I definitely won’t say much." Wen Jiu did not inquire further, nor did he need to know the specific details, "Since you’ve said all there is to say, once you take the Silencing Spell and Heart Demon Oath, I’ll tell you what’s amiss with the Celestial Yin Qi Absorption Technique."
Han Tianxing did not hesitate and immediately cast the spell, taking the oath.
He was eager to know what exactly was wrong with the Celestial Yin Qi Absorption Technique. After all, this Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core Formation Technique was what he painfully obtained from the All-Heaven Supreme Spirit Tower of the Divine Wood Celestial Sect after decades.
Wen Jiu transmitted sound, "The Celestial Yin Qi Absorption Technique is extremely soul-intensive and technique-intensive, something unbearable for anything less than a mid-stage Golden Core, but if a Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator enters the Core Formation Land to help with the technique, it will intensify the Celestial Thunder, likely causing Feng Jue’s Core Formation to fail."
Once he said this, Han Tianxing was stunned.
Unbearable for anything less than a mid-stage Golden Core.
But also cannot allow a Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator to enter and cast the technique.
Isn’t this blocking both ends?
Then how is Core Formation achieved?
Damn it.
He should have realized that the Undying Celestial Yin Golden Core Formation Technique wouldn’t be so easily acquired.
No, that’s not right.
If it’s so difficult, then how did Han Li achieve it?
"Fellow Daoist Han, what method did you use to resolve it?" Han Tianxing impatiently asked.
