Chapter 803: The Potential for Transformation Into a God, the Proposal for the Western Expedition [Subscription Required]
"Is this the late Nascent Soul stage? It is indeed very different from the middle Nascent Soul stage!"
In the cave, Zhou Chun couldn't help but sigh sincerely after carefully experiencing the changes in Yuanying's later cultivation.
When his cultivation broke through from the early stage of Yuanying to the middle stage of Yuanying, his mana directly increased by 50% to 60%. He thought that this increase was already huge.
But now that he has just broken through the late Nascent Soul stage, his mana has more than doubled compared to his previous peak in the middle Nascent Soul stage!
And he clearly felt that his magic power still had a lot of room for growth, and could continue to grow through practice in the future.
Compared to the skyrocketing increase in mana, the increase in spiritual consciousness seems a bit small.
It may be that he reached the state of spiritual consciousness transformation in advance. After breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage, although his spiritual consciousness also increased, it was not as huge as before.
In comparison, the increase is about 30%.
But even so, the intensity of his spiritual consciousness at this time has exceeded that of many veteran late-stage Yuanying monks, and he is among the top batch among all late-stage Yuanying monks.
After all, not every late Yuanying monk can reach the realm of spiritual consciousness before breaking through to the late Yuanying stage.
And this advanced spiritual consciousness also made it easier for Zhou Chun to detect some differences when he perceived the world.
To put it simply, it became easier for him to comprehend the Law of the Great Way and to capture the rhythm of the power of the Law of the Great Way.
Because of this, he did not rush out of seclusion, but calmly digested the gains from this breakthrough.
Slowly, Zhou Chun discovered that in addition to mana and spiritual consciousness, there were indeed other places where the late Yuanying realm was significantly different from the monks in the middle Yuanying stage.
For example, the perception of the fluctuations of space power and the perception and use of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth are obviously much better than those of mid-Nascent Soul monks.
Zhou Chun once heard Lord Tai Geng accidentally mention that some great monks in the late Nascent Soul who are really expected to become gods can master the ability to mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth before they can even break through to become gods.
Although the amount of spiritual energy they can mobilize is less than one percent of that of real monks in the god-transformation stage, they can still play a significant role when applied in actual battles.
And some space magical powers and secret techniques can only be practiced by great monks in the late Nascent Soul stage.
After Zhou Chun continued to practice hard in seclusion for seven years, he initially developed the magical power of [shrinking the ground into an inch] that only late Yuanying monks can master.
With the blessing of the power of the "Void Act" level, this magical power can be displayed at a moment's notice, which is enough to greatly improve the survivability of the great monks in the late Nascent Soul.
It and the "Golden Escape Technique" mastered by Zhou Chun are two different types of magical powers.
The former prefers improvised combat, while the latter focuses on pursuit and escape, as well as daily travel, as well as the understanding of the power of the law of the great road.
And just after Zhou Chun cultivated the magical power of [shrinking the ground into an inch] and officially came out of seclusion, the incarnation of God Tai Geng sent him a message, summoning him to meet him.
After receiving the summons, he immediately rushed to Chang Geng Peak.
"Junior pays homage to Senior Tai Geng."
Although he was already in the late stage of Nascent Soul and was at the same level as the incarnation of Tai Geng in front of him, Zhou Chun was still very respectful and did not change at all.
After he finished his salute, he felt the sharp sword-like gaze of the incarnation of God Tai Geng falling on him.
After a while of this, the feeling that made him feel a little like a light on his back dissipated, and then he heard the incarnation of Tai Geng God said: "You have now reached the late stage of Nascent Soul, and you have no idea about the future path." , any ideas?”
After hearing this, Zhou Chun pondered for a moment, and then said truthfully: "This junior has just made a breakthrough in cultivation, and there is still room for improvement in magic power. In the future, we should continue to accumulate magic power and practice magical powers until there is no progress in cultivation, and then we can seek to transform into gods." The opportunity!”
Hearing his answer, the incarnation of Tai Geng God immediately nodded and said: "Now there are still hundreds of years before the evil spirit dissipates. This period of time is enough for you to practice to the perfection of Nascent Soul."
Then he changed the topic again and said in a deep voice: "But if you want to transform into a god, it mainly depends on the monk's own foundation. At least in the 'Calamity of Vitality', there is no external object that can help you, only your own foundation." Only with a solid foundation and a deep foundation can we have a chance to survive this disaster!”
"As for the 'Heart Demon Tribulation', if you can complete the commission from Taoist Fellow Changchun, he has a unique spiritual creature that can help!"
"With your ability, you should have a good chance of surviving the remaining forty-ninth calamity!"
Having said this, he suddenly raised his hand and several jade sticks flew towards Zhou Chun.
"These jade slips contain the secret techniques created and summarized by some senior monks in order to cope with the 'Calamity of Vitality'. See for yourself whether you want to spend time to understand and practice."
When Zhou Chun heard this, he quickly received all the jade slips in his hands, then bowed deeply towards the incarnation of Tai Geng and said, "Thank you, Senior Tai Geng, for the gift. I am a great kindness and virtue, and I will never forget it in this lifetime!"
"The road to becoming a god is as difficult as reaching the sky. Although you are still young, if you slack off because you entered the late Nascent Soul stage early, you will definitely not be able to succeed in becoming a god in the future!"
When the incarnation of God Taigeng said this, he also waved his hands and said: "Okay, I have now explained to you everything that should be handed over to you. Now that you have entered the late Nascent Soul stage, there is no need for me to continue to do so. I’m here to take charge. Let’s meet again someday!”
"Ah, Senior Taigeng, do you want to leave?"
Zhou Chun was shocked and looked at the incarnation of Taigeng God with surprise.
But the incarnation of Taigeng God raised his eyebrows, looked at him with a smile and said: "What? Do you still want me to be your Zhou family's nanny for life?"
"Junior dare not!"
Zhou Chun said he dare not, and then looked at the other party eagerly and asked: "After you leave, Senior Taigeng, if I have something, how can I contact you?"
"If you have something, you can go directly to the outside of the secret house to send a message. I should practice there next!"
The incarnation of Taigeng God replied lightly, then got up on the spot and left directly.
After sending off the incarnation of Taigeng God, Zhou Chun looked at the empty Changgeng Peak, thought about it, and asked Yishan Jun to move here to practice, and still maintained the ban on Zhou family cultivators not entering.
Then Zhou Chun also went down the mountain and went to Xuandan Peak to visit Luo Qingni.
Luo Qingni broke through the realm earlier than him, and he had been practicing magic for many years in seclusion, so he naturally came out of seclusion a long time ago.
However, facing Zhou Chun's visit, Luo Qingni hesitated for a long time before opening the formation to welcome him into the cave.
After Zhou Chun entered the cave, he did not mention that she had left him alone for a long time. He just smiled at her and said, "Qingni, you have successfully broken through the realm, but I failed to send you congratulations in time. I will make up for it today!"
He also bowed his hands and congratulated with a serious face: "Congratulations to Brother Luo for his great progress in cultivation. I wish Brother Daoyou a long-lasting immortal path and continuous immortal fate."
Luo Qingni was slightly startled, and then she also returned a salute to him and said, "I am the same. I wish Brother Zhou a long-lasting immortal path and a speedy transformation into a god!"
After such politeness, the two of them did not speak for a while, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.
After such a long silence, Zhou Chun took a deep breath, looked at Luo Qingni with a sharp gaze and asked: "Qingni, are you willing to become a Taoist partner with Zhou?"
As if she didn't expect him to show his hand so directly, Luo Qingni was also stunned, and then turned her head slightly, not facing Zhou Chun's fiery gaze.
She said in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, please forgive me, Qingni has no such idea!"
Hearing her answer, Zhou Chun couldn't help frowning, and looked at her and said: "Then why did you..."
"It was just for cultivation!"
When Luo Qingni said this, she also said softly: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, you are now the ancestor of the clan, and you have your own bloodline descendants. If you become a Taoist partner with Qingni, how can you face Xinyuan?"
Hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately replied: "Before Yuzhen passed away, he had already talked to Xinyuan about this matter. Xinyuan can also understand and sympathize with Zhou. Qingni, if you are worried that he will oppose, you can relax!"
This answer made Luo Qingni silent.
After a long while, she said helplessly in a low voice: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, why do you have to do this? Qingni has always regarded you as a confidant. Isn't it good for you and me to be like before? Why must Qingni bear the infamy!"
"Okay, Zhou understands what you mean, Qingni, so let's put this matter aside for now!"
When Zhou Chun said this, he also looked deeply at the beauty in front of him, and soon said goodbye and left.
After returning to his cave, Zhou Chun thought about it carefully, then put aside his distracting thoughts and took out the jade slips given to him by the incarnation of Taigeng God to check.
The content of this jade slip is very huge. There are some methods of practicing some extraordinary skills and secrets, as well as various cultivation experiences summarized by senior cultivators. It is very useful for a new late-stage Yuanying cultivator like Zhou Chun, and it is all dry goods.
After spending several days digesting the contents of those jade slips, he first skipped those extraordinary skills and secrets, and concentrated on studying the various tips left by those senior cultivators.
The cultivation of the late Nascent Soul cultivators, in addition to accumulating mana, is to prepare for the impact of the transformation of the spirit.
Just as the incarnation of Taigeng God said, the "vital energy catastrophe" can hardly be helped by external objects, and can only be overcome by the cultivators themselves.
This is also the biggest reason why so many cultivators who impact the transformation of the spirit did not even pass the first level in the end.
But how to increase the chance of overcoming the "vital energy catastrophe" is obviously also a matter of fact.
In addition to the three basic elements of the cultivator's own mana, physical body, and spiritual consciousness, there is also the cultivator's understanding of the power of the law of the great way, the control of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even the control of his own physical mana!
In most cases, for the late Nascent Soul cultivators who can impact the transformation of the spirit, even if there is a gap in mana, physical body, and spiritual consciousness, it will not be much different.
Therefore, the things other than these three basic elements are the key to whether they can survive the "vital energy catastrophe".
Although Zhou Chun's mana cultivation still has room for growth and has not been perfected, he should also learn and master those related skills of overcoming the catastrophe in advance.
After all, at his level of cultivation, it is actually meaningless to practice a few more powerful magical skills.
With his cultivation strength as a late Nascent Soul cultivator, under normal circumstances, he may not use his full strength once in hundreds of years.
And if he does not transform into a spirit, almost no one can threaten the life and safety of a late Nascent Soul cultivator.
So instead of spending all his energy and time on cultivating those powerful magical skills, it is better to use it to cultivate enlightenment and try to increase the chances of his own successful transformation into a spirit.
Just as Zhou Chun was concentrating on studying the experiences of various predecessors, the news that he had broken through the late Nascent Soul also spread.
The spread of this news undoubtedly caused heated discussions in all parts of the human cultivation world.
Before that, although Zhou Chun was already famous among the human race, no one knew about him.
But at that time, when everyone was marveling and admiring the powerful combat power he displayed, they also wondered in their hearts, could he break through to the late Nascent Soul stage? When will it break through the late Nascent Soul stage?
Throughout the history of the human race, there are some examples of monks in the middle stage of Yuanying who have superior combat power and are not inferior to the great monks in the later stage of Yuanying.
However, many of them have never truly become great monks in the late Yuanying period throughout their lives, or when some people become great monks in the late Yuanying period, their longevity is not very generous, and it is almost impossible to attack the gods again.
Zhou Chun had previously become famous among the human race, and many human monks were shocked by his achievements. They privately dubbed him "The Talent of God Transformation" and believed that he would have the potential to become the new god-transformation venerable of the human race.
However, monks who had this idea were in the minority before, especially in the circle of Nascent Soul monks, few people would really take this statement seriously.
After all, only Nascent Soul Stage monks understand how difficult it is to break through this realm.
However, after Zhou Chun broke through to the late Yuanying stage at the age of less than 1,100 years old, all the Yuanying stage monks who learned the news were shocked and speechless.
Some of the top powerful Nascent Soul monks who have been passed down for a long time have discovered that if calculated based on the age when he became a great monk in the late Nascent Soul, Zhou Chun is probably the first person in five thousand years!
Even Lord Tai Geng, Lord Lingfeng and others who were already in the stage of becoming gods were many years older than him when they became great monks in the late stage of Nascent Soul.
This discovery made the Nascent Soul stage monks who were not very optimistic about Zhou Chun's ability to transform into a god begin to murmur, and some believed in the "talent for transforming into a god".
The monks who originally called out "The Talent of Transformation into Gods" were extremely excited after learning the news, and they all showed off to their relatives and friends to brag about their foresight, thus making this title spread more and more widely.
So even when Zhou Chun himself didn't go out, his name, Master Chunjun, aroused heated discussion in various countries in the world of human cultivation.
Thanks to his influence, the monks of the Zhou family were directly treated as disciples of the top powerful forces when they were traveling in the world of immortality. Countless monks wanted to make friends with him.
The Zhou family's various businesses are getting smoother and smoother, and many forces are willing to give in to a win-win situation.
Time flies, and soon another ten years have passed.
Zhou Chun's magic power has grown steadily over the past ten years, and he has gained new understanding and progress in various magical powers.
But at this time, his practice was interrupted by an unexpected incident.
He was holding a letter in his hand, which was sent by Zhongshan Zhenren of the Immortal Realm God Shamen in the far west to deliver it in person.
According to Zhongshan Zhenren, the Holy Fire Sect in the Immortal Cultivation World in the Far West secretly stole the Talisman Jade Refining Technique from their Divine Sand Sect, and secretly refined the Talisman Jade for sale.
He has obtained direct evidence and caught the monk who leaked the secret of refining the talisman jade. Now he wants to join forces with all the forces in the talisman jade alliance to take action to scare the monkeys!
"Holy Fire Cult? Speaking of which, I still have a debt to settle with them!"
Zhou Chun rubbed the letter in his hand and gradually made a decision in his heart.
He quickly wrote a handwritten letter and asked his apprentice Zhou Zhiying to send it to Tianyimen for him and give it to Master Tianxuan.
The leader of the Fuyu Alliance is designated as the great elder of the Tianyi Sect, so if the Shensha Sect wants to promote the conquest of the Holy Fire Sect, it must obtain the consent of the Tianyi Sect.
In Zhou Chun's letter, he expressed his attitude and stated that he would resolutely defend the interests of the Fuyu Alliance!
Zhongshan Zhenren sent letters to all the forces in the Fu Yu Alliance this time. As long as two-thirds of the forces express support, the conquest of the Holy Fire Cult can be decided.
After waiting like this for several months, Zhou Chun received a summons from the great elder of Tianyi Sect, Master Tianxuan, inviting him to go to Tianyi Sect to discuss Master Zhongshan's proposal.
After receiving this summons, Zhou Chun immediately set off for Tianyimen.
"Welcome Fellow Daoist Zhou to our sect. Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Zhou for his breakthrough in cultivation and becoming a great monk!"
Tianyimen, Master Tianxuan personally welcomed Zhou Chun into the mountain gate after he came over, and congratulated him on breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
"You're welcome, fellow Taoist Tianxuan. Compared with other fellow Taoists, Zhou still has a lot to learn."
Zhou Chun replied humbly as always, and then followed Master Tianxuan to the meeting hall.
Soon after, the monks sent by various forces of the Fuyu Alliance arrived.
After waiting for everyone to arrive, Master Tianxuan immediately closed the door of the hall, then glanced at the sixteen representatives in the hall, and said in a solemn tone: "You all know the reason for calling all the fellow Taoists here today. So I’ll keep the story short.”
Having said this, he also said in a solemn voice: "Concerning the Taoist fellow Taoist Shenshamen Chongshan's proposal to conquer the Holy Fire Sect, what is your attitude? Today's statements from all the Taoist fellows will determine whether this matter will come true! "
After the words fell, everyone in the hall looked thoughtful.
After a while of this, Ye Qingxuan of the Nine Yuan Sword Sect first spoke with murderous intent: "Ye agreed to the suggestion of fellow Taoist Chongshan. If we don't kill the chicken to scare the monkeys this time, the power to steal the talisman refining method will definitely be greatly increased in the future." The increase will directly affect the vital interests of various forces including us!"
After he expressed his opinion, Zhou Chun stopped watching and immediately said: "Zhou also agrees with the proposal of Daoist Chongshan. This trend cannot be allowed to continue. For the long-term plan, we must use thundering means to nip the seeds and deter those forces that have the intention to interfere with the method of refining Fuyu!"
He and Ye Qingxuan, one represents a force with a deep foundation, and the other has amazing strength.
The two of them advocated war, and it is hard to say that they would not affect the ideas of others.
So not long after Zhou Chun finished speaking, Nangong Wuqing also said in a deep voice: "I also agree to attack the Holy Fire Sect. If not, all sects and factions will probably look down on our Fuyu Alliance, and the name of the alliance will be in name only!"
In this way, three heavyweight monks have become the advocates of war. With the vote of Master Chongshan himself, many monks who have not yet expressed their opinions immediately agreed.
In the end, when everyone expressed their opinions, there were a total of 17 forces, including Tianyi Sect, and 12 of them agreed to conquer the Holy Fire Sect.
According to the rules of the Fuyu Alliance, anything that more than two-thirds of the representatives agree on must be implemented no matter what!
Therefore, Tianxuan Zhenren also quickly announced: "Since the voting results have come out, all Taoist friends should go back and prepare for the expedition!"
At this point, he also said in a serious tone: "The Holy Fire Sect was once a major sect in the Holy Land, with a profound foundation. In order to avoid accidents in this expedition and minimize casualties, each sect should send the strongest cultivators, and at least send two Nascent Soul cultivators!"
After he finished speaking, Zhou Chun spoke in a deep voice: "Zhou also added that today's discussion must be kept strictly confidential, otherwise if the Holy Fire Sect gets the news, I'm afraid that all of us will be worried in the future!"
After speaking, he also looked at the representatives of the forces that voted against, and the meaning was self-evident.
Although his gaze was rude, because of his reputation, those people could only frown and endure, and no one dared to really argue with him.
After everything was discussed and the agreed time to meet up at Shenshamen was reached, Zhou Chun and the others dispersed to prepare. (End of this chapter)
