Chapter 1010 Becoming an Immortal is Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!
"Your talent is too poor? So you can only cultivate external magical artifacts to attain enlightenment?"
Wang Bin looked at the Reincarnation Venerable with a shocked expression.
"You are a being of the cycle of reincarnation!"
What an amazing and special physique! To be able to live for ten thousand years at the mere Nascent Soul stage.
"If living for multiple lifetimes is considered poor talent, then wouldn't the Human King Realm be devoid of talented individuals?"
The Reincarnation Venerable sneered:
"Hehe! According to the records left by the Human King, the cultivation world is divided into several realms. The Canglan Realm was probably a middle-level world in the past, where one could cultivate to the Great Ascension Realm of Integration."
However, he can only cultivate to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, which is the scale of a small world.
The potential of a small world is limited; at most, it can give birth to a sacred body, such as your Dragon Blood Sacred Body.
For example, a mortal might at most give birth to a spirit, and the spirit born will most likely be a dormant spirit, requiring further opportunities to activate it.
As for the reason, hehe! She is just a mortal with a mortal body. Even if she were to get pregnant by chance and conceive a child with a congenital holy body, she would be sucked to death by the child inside her the next day, and the child would also die young.
I am but a mere spirit; above me are holy bodies, divine bodies, and Dao bodies.
Even if one is born with a Daoist physique, the chance of becoming an immortal is less than one in ten thousand.
Moreover, I am but a mere spirit with such poor talent that I am utterly unqualified to cultivate the inner world cultivation methods!
Wang Bin frowned and remained stunned for a while. It was the first time he had felt the difficulty of becoming an immortal, a difficulty that Yue Chao had never imagined.
He had just glanced at these three inner world cultivation techniques, and the entry requirements for cultivation were not particularly high.
However, the minimum cultivation foundation requires a Nascent Soul stage cultivator to comprehend the power of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, and to understand their mutual generation and restraint.
One also needs to comprehend some spatial power; a cultivator needs to open up a space within their dantian.
Then, he found a star core, refined it, and stored it in the space within his dantian.
The star core, as the foundation of the inner world, is formed by the earth element to solidify mountains and rivers, the water element to create rivers, lakes, and seas, and the fire element to create the core fire/sun and moon.
The Wood element cultivates spiritual herbs, the Metal element transforms mineral veins into spiritual treasures, and finally, the cycle of the Five Elements gives birth to innate spiritual energy, which then slowly gives rise to living beings.
The cultivation methods within the three inner worlds are largely the same, differing only in their later emphasis.
Furthermore, to accelerate the growth of the inner world, one needs to absorb too many cultivation resources, which may be the reason why the Reincarnation Venerable abandoned this cultivation method.
He cultivated the external world refining method, using artifacts to carry the Dao, and refined the spiritual treasure Yin-Yang Reincarnation Disc.
His focus on the path of the soul is indeed somewhat opportunistic, using the souls of the dead on the True Spirit Continent to continuously strengthen his Dao-bearing spiritual treasure.
Finally, the spiritual treasure fed back its power to the main body, allowing the main body to break through to the Void Refinement Realm.
Wang Bin still held the Samsara Venerable in high esteem, especially in a resource-scarce world like the Canglan Realm.
He actually came up with the idea of refining the Yin-Yang Reincarnation Disc, but unfortunately, the spiritual energy of the Canglan Realm was insufficient for him to break through to a higher realm.
He suddenly glanced at the Nine Hells Slaughtering Tower on his wrist, and it seemed that the Reincarnation Venerable's prediction was correct.
The Nine Hells Spirit Slaughtering Tower has nine levels. The fifth level is where one can extract the fifth-order life essence, the essence blood of the Nascent Soul Realm.
His ninth level should correspond to a Mahayana realm expert. In this light, the master of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was also a figure of extraordinary ability.
His Dao-carrying spiritual treasure has already reached the level of an acquired spiritual treasure; if he takes another step forward, it will become a celestial artifact.
Although I don't know how he perished, it's fortunate that he did, allowing me to gain such a powerful spiritual treasure for free.
It seems we should treat Dahuang even better in the future; this was originally his good fortune.
In other words, as long as he changes his cultivation path to Blood Soul and binds himself to the Nine Hells Spirit Slaughtering Tower, he can continuously imprison various powerful beings into the Nine Hells Spirit Slaughtering Tower.
Wouldn't it be very easy for me to cultivate to the Mahayana stage?
At that moment, Wang Bin's heart was moved!
As for what happens after the Mahayana stage, we can ignore it for now and focus on cultivating to the Mahayana stage first!
The next second, Wang Bin hesitated again. The inner world cultivation method obviously had greater potential and stronger power, and he also met the requirements.
This choice is too difficult, and he can't make a decision in a short time.
After thinking for a long time, Wang Bin sighed, and his eyes lit up when he saw the Venerable Samsara.
"Senior Samsara, I possess both the Dragon Blood Sacred Body and the Water Spirit Sacred Body."
I have another readily available spiritual treasure that carries the Dao, if I cultivate the cultivation methods of the outer world.
If conditions permit, I have the best chance of cultivating to the Mahayana stage.
What do you think I should choose?
Upon hearing this, the Reincarnation Venerable frowned. Wang Bin's talent was indeed the best in the Human King Realm.
They have met the requirements for cultivating the inner world techniques, and the Star Core Human King Sect has them in its warehouse.
However, no one in the Human King Realm has ever practiced these techniques, and the risks of practicing in the inner world are simply too high.
The cultivation resources needed are far too many; the current Human King Realm absolutely cannot meet Wang Bin's cultivation needs.
Moreover, Wang Bin is now the Human King, and his strength and status are the strongest in the Human King realm.
Once he decides to mobilize all the cultivation resources of the Human King Realm, he will use them all to expand his inner world.
No one could stop him, and as a result, the promising situation in the Human King Realm might be ruined!
As for cultivation methods in other worlds, even though Wang Bin has the Nine Hells Spirit Slaughtering Tower, the cultivation resources in the Human King Realm can only support him to cultivate up to the Void Refinement Realm at most.
To put it bluntly, the cultivation resources within the Human King Realm are insufficient. After pondering for a full half-hour, he said with a serious expression:
"The choice is up to you, but I think you shouldn't rush into making a decision."
Let me tell you about the advantages and disadvantages of the three cultivation methods:
The first method of cultivating the inner world (Dantian attains enlightenment, inner universe is contained).
Its advantages are obvious. It is also the most powerful cultivation method and the one with the highest success rate in achieving immortality. Its power is self-sufficient and its foundation is solid and stable, without relying on external objects.
The higher the cultivation realm, the stronger the control over the laws. After ascension, the upper limit is extremely high, and one can open up their own inner world. The success rate of overcoming tribulations is higher than the other two cultivation methods.
The disadvantages are also obvious: the threshold for promotion is high, requiring pure spiritual roots and a powerful soul.
Each stage of advancement requires overcoming a perilous tribulation; if the inner world of the dantian collapses, the cultivator will die instantly.
The cultivation cycle is long, requiring long periods of seclusion and intensive practice, and also necessitates a large amount of cultivation resources.
The second type is the one I am currently practicing: the External Spiritual Treasure Dao Attainment Method (borrowing external objects to carry the Dao through a vessel).
Advantages: The entry threshold is lower than the previous one; even those with poor spiritual root aptitude can cultivate, as long as they have a large amount of cultivation resources.
In the early stages, combat power increases rapidly, and you can quickly advance once you have enough resources.
The risk can be transferred; if the spiritual treasure is damaged, the cultivator will only suffer minor injuries and can replace the spiritual treasure to start cultivating again.
It can activate the legion within the magic weapon to fight, eliminating the need to confront powerful enemies head-on.
Disadvantages: Its power depends entirely on the grade of the spirit treasure and its growth, thus limiting its peak potential.
Cultivation requires a massive amount of resources to sustain it. Upgrading a high-level spiritual treasure requires devouring rare and precious materials or plundering other sources of origin, which is extremely costly.
Over-reliance on magical treasures will result in a foundation far weaker than that of cultivating within one's inner world, leading to a sharp decline in combat power when encountering opponents who can counter magical treasures.
The third method of cultivation in the outer world (borrowing from another world to comprehend the Dao and refining it into oneself).
That is the cultivation method you use now, as well as that of other cultivators in the entire Human King Realm.
The various cultivation techniques I learn are for the purpose of better comprehending the various laws and powers within the Human King Realm.
Advantages: No need to expend one's own energy to create an inner world; one can directly perceive the complete laws of the external world and achieve enlightenment quickly.
One can draw upon the blessings of beings, spiritual veins, and fortune from the outside world, and the cultivation process only requires comprehending the inherent laws of heaven and earth.
Many cultivators cultivate in this way, and there is a wealth of cultivation experience to draw upon.
It is the most complete cultivation method, and the risk of cultivation is much smaller than the previous two.
Disadvantages: Power is bound by the rules of the outside world, and combat strength will be greatly reduced after leaving the corresponding world.
The further one cultivates, the easier it is to lose one's way and become part of the laws of heaven and earth. If one is not careful, one will be devoured by the will of the world.
"Unable to transcend the external world one relies on, one's lifespan will also be affected by that world..."
