TO ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY, I CULTIVATE USING QI LUCK

Chapter 948: Chapter 396: Three Challenges of the Immortal Path Chapter 948: Chapter 396: Three Challenges of the Immortal Path Mount Jinfeng.

Amidst the hazy mountain ridges, surrounded by a faint mist, lush and vibrant, stood an elegant and majestic palace complex.

In a grand hall at the summit, a golden radiance flickered slowly, like breathing, emitting a shimmering glow.

The nearby Heavenly and Earthly Aura poured in directly from the sky above, infusing into the golden radiance.

Like a whale absorbing water, it was inhaled and absorbed, digested into nourishment, strengthening its own light, making the golden brilliance ever more piercing and dazzling.

After a long while, the Spiritual Energy falling from between Heaven and Earth gradually receded.

The golden radiance swallowed the last strand of Spiritual Energy and then, with a slight flicker, it entered the body of a young man in white robes within the hall and disappeared from sight.

“Not bad, the Golden Qi has grown stronger again.

According to the current pace, in another three to five years, I’ll be able to nurture this energy to perfection and attempt to separate the third stream of Water Qi from it.”

Lu Yuan calmed the increased Magic Power and opened his eyes, feeling the Golden Qi within his body becoming ever more perfect, and could not help but feel joy in his heart.

He was currently at a Great Boundary known as ‘Five Qi Towards Primordial’.

Within this Great Boundary, a cultivator needs to nurture Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—the Five Qi within the five viscera of their body, and from these Five Qi, successively generate a total of five streams of Immortal Light.

This process of condensing the Five Qi into Immortal Light, where each successive Immortal Light represents a minor boundary, leads to an explosion in Magic Power and Divine Soul after a breakthrough, making one’s cultivation profounder.

Among the five minor boundaries, condensing one Qi, three Qi, and five Qi—these three stages—also refine the cultivator’s Divine Soul and body once again, a process known by cultivators as ‘Shedding Mortal Body’.

When gathering one Qi, cultivators’ mortal bodies are refined by Spiritual Energy and Magic Power, and the murky qi within their flesh and blood is cleansed, transforming their bodies into an Immortal Fetus and officially stepping into the Immortal Sect.

The stage of gathering two levels of energy further deepens this process, completely cleansing the murky qi from the flesh and blood that was not entirely cleansed during the stage of gathering one Qi, resulting in the body reaching a state of clear skin and flesh, known as the Frost Skin Body.

Once the Frost Skin Body is achieved, and the cultivator has accumulated enough, they can then refine their bones, eliminating the deep-seated murky mortal qi and replacing the marrow’s mortal qi with the pure qi of the Immortal Spirit.

By accomplishing this step, the cultivator reaches the stage of Gathering Three Qi.

Gathering Four Qi, like Gathering Two Qi, further refines the bones and marrow, to completely replace the murky mortal qi with the qi of the Immortal Spirit, allowing the body to reach the state of clear bones, known as the Jade Bone Body.

Once the Frost Skin Body and Jade Bone Body are complete, the cultivator can be considered to have cultivated an Immortal’s body and can be called by the Immortal’s Appearance.

On the path to becoming immortal, this is akin to having secured a ticket to enter the arena.

At this point, the cultivator can attempt to continue condensing the fifth Qi, starting the refinement of their ultimate weakness—their Divine Soul.

This step is the most perilous.

After all, how fragile and precious is the human soul?

Any damage can result in a severe loss of vitality, either becoming a fool or a lunatic, or leading directly to death and the end of one’s cultivation path.

Thus, every cultivator at this stage is extremely cautious, daring not to hurry recklessly.

They can only spend vast amounts of time nurturing the Divine Soul, slowly tempering and refining it bit by bit.

Using time to slowly refine the soul, shedding the mortal qi, transforming it into an Immortal Soul.

During the process of soul refinement, some cultivators, depending on their individual qualifications, have slightly different soul structures compared to ordinary people and can more easily accept the refinement of the Immortal Spirit’s qi, completing this transformation process more quickly.

That’s why many ancient Immortal Sects were willing to choose disciples with good qualifications, because they could complete the transformation of the Immortal Soul more easily compared to those with inferior qualifications during the soul refinement process.

However, even so, the role of a cultivator’s qualifications only goes so far.

Because this process takes an extremely long time and there are no shortcuts, even the cultivators with the best qualifications, those of the Immortal Species, need to spend at least a hundred years or more refining when breaking through from Gathering Four Qi to Gathering Five Qi.

For those with just superior or medium aptitude, the time consumed in this process is even longer, counting in two hundred or three hundred years.

Although theoretically, there is no bottleneck in the process from condensing Four Qi to Five Qi; it only requires a laborious effort over a long period.

But often, what is most freely available is actually the most expensive, and the cost paid is even greater.

To achieve a breakthrough in Five Qi Towards Primordial, the best qualified Immortal Species need to spend more than a hundred years, while those with slightly lesser qualifications need two to three hundred years.

These years spent are not simply covered by the passing of time.

Keep in mind that a cultivator can live for two hundred years when condensing one Qi, three hundred years for two Qi, and five hundred years for three Qi.

By the time they condense four Qi, they have only six hundred years at most.

In this mere span of six hundred years, setting aside those Immortal Species that are hard to come by, with one appearing only among hundreds of millions, the more common superior and medium aptitude cultivators need to dedicate two hundred or three hundred years from their limited lifespan to break through to Gathering Five Qi after condensing four Qi.

It also means that cultivators with superior qualifications must break through condensing four Qi before their lifespan reaches four hundred years.

For those with medium aptitude, they must break through condensing four Qi before reaching three hundred years of age.

It may not seem difficult for a cultivator to traverse from condensing one Qi to four Qi within three to four hundred years.

For those with superior qualifications, having four hundred years and averaging one hundred years per realm provides them with ample time for each breakthrough, which is exceedingly generous.
