The Birth of Sword God-Chapter 222 - 194: Spiritual Embryo and Spirit Root

Chu Huaixu showed a trace of reverence in his expression upon hearing this.

The reason is simple, he actually didn't have such high awareness...

But he wouldn't mock these kinds of people as idiots like some others would.

Interestingly, many of those who mock others often have average ability and perception and are actually the well-protected weak ones.

If they weren't so well protected, and truly received some harsh beatings, they wouldn't talk such nonsense.

Chu Huaixu greatly respects those who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the world.

Because before he transmigrated, he was just an ordinary person, one of those protected.

So he wasn't intentionally managing his expressions or performing in front of the higher-ups of the Daoist Sect to gain favor.

Nor did he feel that such words from the elder named Zhong Ming were awkward or pretentious.

"Because he is the leader of the righteous path." That is the main reason.

Chu Huaixu could tell from Jiang Zhi's description that his fifth senior brother was likely the leader of that generation of Junzi Temple.

If the leader of the righteous path doesn't have a righteous demeanor, then it's all over, right?

Why would Your Majesty rebel, has Your Majesty defected?

To be precise, it was exactly because Zhong Ming was such a person that he became the leader of the righteous path, a true leader of the righteous path.

As the heritage left by the Dao Ancestor, the Daoist Sect is a prestigious sect within the righteous path. Those within Junzi Temple indeed adhered to the words spoken by Zhong Ming. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

An entire generation almost perished on the Fifth Floor, with Zhong Ming being the only survivor, who used himself as a vessel and seal, imprisoning the Primordial Spirit and becoming a Ninth Realm madman.

Chu Huaixu was well aware that he, at present, absolutely couldn't reach such a level.

He wasn't as righteous; he was even rightly somewhat evil!

As a transmigrator, he hadn't been in this world for long.

Though he had already formed many ties, he couldn't imagine dying for the Profound Yellow Realm.

In some way, Chu Huaixu felt that they all had faith.

After Jiang Zhi finished speaking, he looked at the young man standing in the center of the hall and asked, "Do you have anything else you'd like to ask?"

Chu Huaixu indeed had some more questions.

"Are the evil cultivators in the Profound Yellow Realm also seeking longevity?"

Having spent years roaming to eradicate demons, Jiang Zhi had a lot to say about this.

"Not at all."

"We people of the Profound Yellow Realm only have Spiritual Embryos and no Spirit Roots, making it impossible to cultivate the so-called Immortal Techniques from the Kunlun Cave Heaven."

"And Spirit Roots and Immortal Techniques are their fundamental means to attain longevity."

"Evil cultivators merely learned their 'cannibalistic' methods."

"We cultivators rely on the Spiritual Embryo for cultivation, which actually allows us to cultivate faster than those from the Kunlun Cave Heaven, reaching speeds even tenfold in the later stages!"

"Evil cultivators adopted their 'cannibalistic' methods, progressing by devouring others' Spiritual Embryos. Even with poor talent, they could advance rapidly on the path of cultivation."

At this moment, Chu Yinyin couldn't help but interject boastfully, "Chu Huaixu, look at me, I reached the Sixth Realm in my twenties, comparable to the Golden Core Stage in Kunlun Cave Heaven."

"But what about the people over there?"

"In their twenties, they are still stuck at the Qi Refining Stage."

Hearing this, Chu Huaixu nodded, wanting to speak but hesitating.

Xiang Yan seemed to see through him, smiling, "I think you ask these questions because you want to know if there are any Great Cultivators in the Profound Yellow Realm who can't resist the temptation of longevity and try to turn to the evil path, right?"

"Yes," Chu Huaixu replied.

"Previously, I was thinking if us cultivators, who already advance more quickly, were given a chance for longevity, few could withstand it."

It turns out everyone can't cultivate immortality here.

What is truly terrifying would be the combination of the Profound Yellow Realm's cultivation system and the Kunlun Cave Heaven's cultivation system!

Increasing lifespan and incredibly fast advancement, now that would be ultimate.

Currently, Spiritual Embryos and Spirit Roots each have their pros and cons.

It seems that 'Borrowed Sword' fundamentally sets different cultivation systems for the two worlds.

Wandering Primordial Spirits in the Profound Yellow Realm have to continuously possess others, needing to change bodies every so often.

Initially, the evil cultivators might have been their developed tools.

But evil techniques seem to have gradually spread.

"Moreover, a lot of things depend on the way of thinking."

"No one thought of cultivating by consuming others' Spiritual Embryos before, but after this idea emerged, the natives of the Profound Yellow Realm could develop more new evil techniques continuously..." Chu Huaixu thought.

At this moment, although only in the First Realm, he began considering long-term issues.

He curiously asked, "Sect Leader, Junior Martial Uncle, and all Elders, I want to ask, how many cultivators in the Divinity Transformation Stage are there in Kunlun Cave Heaven?"

To his knowledge, Ninth Realm powerhouses in the Profound Yellow Realm are scarce.

Even bringing in a few reclusive experts wouldn't make much more.

The real fear was that in Kunlun Cave Heaven, there might be a multitude of Divinity Transformation powerhouses, Nascent Souls spread everywhere, and Golden Cores are less than dogs.

Xiang Yan looked at this young man, purposely wanting to test him.

"Do you think there are many?" he asked.

Without thinking, Chu Huaixu replied, "Logically, there shouldn't be many."

Considering the harsh environment in Kunlun Cave Heaven, Divinity Transformation powerhouses surely would cut off others' paths to Divinity Transformation!

This way, they can dominate the world!

It's like the tip of a pyramid, only having space for one or a few individuals.

The peak is never too crowded.

The lower areas are where people crowd.

Xiang Yan was satisfied with Chu Huaixu's answer; he was also delighted when Chu mentioned the "disaster of immortality" earlier.

"We are not entirely sure how many Divinity Transformation individuals are in Kunlun Cave Heaven."

"But as you said, with the chaotic situation there and their unscrupulous means for personal power, the Divinity Transformation Stage wouldn't have many."

They are extraordinarily powerful and live absurdly long.

If an emperor could live forever, the position of crown prince could be abolished.

Chu Huaixu felt relieved upon hearing this.

In his view, overall, the cultivation environment in the Profound Yellow Realm seems much better.

Unfortunately, the path to the Ninth Realm here requires Profound Yellow Origin Fragments, greatly limiting due to its influence.

Otherwise, the number of Ninth Realm powerhouses in the Profound Yellow Realm could probably be more.

"This thing is truly profound."

"Just as the Sect Leader told me before, although I'm only in the First Realm, I can proceed to refine the Profound Yellow Origin Fragment, speeding up my future cultivation."

"Amongst the Eighth Realm powerhouses, there's even a consensus."

"That as long as one can reach the Eighth Realm through their own cultivation, they can definitely enter the Ninth Realm once they have the Profound Yellow Origin Fragment."

"This thing isn't just for those in the Eighth Realm Great Perfection."

"For example, the Law Enforcement Elder, Lu Pan, has been stuck at an Eighth Realm Middle Stage bottleneck for a long time, and these years he's completely halted."

"But once the Power of the Heavenly Dao Origin is born inside, it'd be completely different."

"It would be like suddenly having enlightenment!"

This made Chu Huaixu increasingly realize the significance of this trip to the Origin Spirit Realm.

Yet as he thought this, a sudden realization hit him.

"But I'm relying on system upgrades."

"So, do the Profound Yellow Origin Fragments even matter to me?"

...
