112: Naling, the prototype of mana

After successfully bringing the three young children back to Xueshan City, White Egret was responsible for all the worries, but with his medical talent, the children's lack of Origin Qi and deficiency of Qi and blood were slowly improving, and they would soon recover to the level of normal children.

However, to step onto the path of cultivation, one cannot act simply. Given their current condition, they would need at least another year and a half of nurturing.

But it seemed White Egret was already prepared, or rather, had experienced similar situations. Once the three children could speak normally, she began teaching them to read and write, and also gave them a copy of Nurturing Spirit Art to Cultivate first.

Nurturing Spirit Art, as the name suggests, is a technique for nurturing the Spiritual Root. The Cultivation method is very simple: it involves eating, utilizing the essence from spiritual food to supplement the missing Spiritual Root Origin Qi and replenish the deficit in Origin.

According to her, this was a special Cultivation Technique developed by a powerful being, specifically adapted for infants in this Jueling Realm.

Chen Cuo also borrowed it to study. Once he completes Spirit Nurturing, this method might give him a surprise.

Time flew by, and almost another year passed!

“Fifty years old, just right. The time is almost here!”

Chen Cuo slowly nodded, murmuring to himself.

The Indestructible and Eternal talent, formed by the unification of the Physical Body, Divine Soul, and True Spirit, is his unique long-life talent. He will not perish at the end of the Universe, nor will he die when heaven and earth are destroyed.

After developing his Innate talents, he focused on Cultivation Techniques, successfully combining Unnamed Cultivation Method, Dragon Purity Tiger Evil Forging Golden Body, and 《Taiyin Breathing Method》 into one Longevity Undying Scripture.

However, it was only a basic version. The Unnamed Cultivation Method was incomplete, the Dragon Purity Tiger Evil Forging Golden Body was not at a high enough level, and the Taiyin Breathing Method was a method of the Divine Soul reflecting the moon, comprehended by Xiaobai through absorbing moonlight, and was not a complete system.

After merging, each took its advantages, discarding the dross and preserving the essence, seeking common ground while reserving differences, allowing him to almost perfectly utilize his Indestructible and Eternal talent.

At least the Unnamed Cultivation Method was no longer useless, and his Undying True Soul could be fully utilized. For example, his Divine Sense would fully open, and he was confident that it would happen today. Moreover, today was the perfect day to strike while the iron is hot and directly Nurture Spirit!

Standing in the backyard, Chen Cuo exhaled a long breath of turbid Qi, then sat cross-legged, with his five centers facing the sky.

His five Spiritual Root Qi were not easy to carry, so it was better to Nurture Spirit directly here.

“Exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale!”

Chen Cuo was calling out to certain things with a special breathing method. His internal organs made gurgling sounds, accompanied by sometimes slow, sometimes rapid breathing and exhalation. His breathing began to align with a certain rhythm.

Ten Thousand Spirits Breathing began to communicate, and True Qi connected with the Spiritual Qi floating between heaven and earth.

The next moment, his hundred meridians opened, and his heavenly gate opened wide.

The Baihui acupoint on Chen Cuo's head instantly burst open. He seemed like a large suction funnel, frantically devouring Spiritual Qi. Certain barriers within his body began to crack, emitting creaking sounds.

The True Qi within his body began to change. The chaotic grayish-white True Qi, as if possessing life, or as if it had grown tentacles, began to make contact with the outside world.

The first step, the conversion of True Qi to magic power, was successful!

Chen Cuo's breathing frequency quickened a few more points, and he softly shouted, “Rise for me!”

Five Qi Returning to Origin!

Pale white Geng Metal Qi flew out from the silver kill holy sword. The stone platform where the sword was hidden instantly exploded, and the silver kill holy sword shattered into dust. Xiaoling opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of emerald green Origin Qi, but there was no further change. She only frowned tightly, not turning into a dried ginseng.

A black water lotus emerged from Xiaohua's abdomen. A lotus flower phantom appeared on the water lotus. The candle on the three-legged great cauldron instantly burned fiercely, and wisps of green smoke continuously emerged, transforming into a candle holder.

The Mother Stone Platform broke through the earth and ascended into the sky, floating erratically under the restraint of the Earth Magnetic Origin Spirit. A stream of earthy yellow Qi flowed forth.

Chen Cuo's breathing did not stop. The moment the Five Qi condensed, they continuously rolled, guided by his breathing, entering through Chen Cuo's mouth and nose, returning to one of his organs.

Heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys; fire, wood, earth, metal, water. Five Qi return to the five organs, five organs supplement the five spirits. The Spiritual Root is naturally born, but later supplemented!

Sorting, regulating, the five organs swallowed and exhaled magic power, the Primal Chaos One Qi transformed, continuously circulating and swirling within his abdominal cavity. He held his mind steady, carefully controlling it.

Every step could not be relaxed, otherwise, all efforts would be in vain. Even so, Chen Cuo seemed to feel a trace of irritation, and many inexplicable distracting thoughts arose in his heart.

However, he did not pay much attention to them, focusing only on controlling the conflict between True Qi and magic power. True Qi protected life, magic power connected, Divine Soul unified, and the Spiritual Root revived!

The three bodies of Essence, Qi, and Spirit merged into one. Suddenly, Chen Cuo's Divine Soul rapidly expanded, seemingly about to break through the Physical Body Bottleneck.

Chen Cuo murmured continuously, reciting the Purity Scripture. Afterward, his entire Divine Soul grew larger. In his perception, compared to his Physical Body, it was a giant. All things in the world were clearer than ever before: the traces of burning flames, the marks left by blacksmithing outside, the direction of the wind's flow—everything could be perceived in his mind.

“This is Divine Sense, this is a Cultivator!”

The last step, the pain during the bone and root transformation, began to manifest. The Five Qi followed the five organs deep into the bone marrow. The Spiritual Root Qi flowed throughout the entire body, awakening the dormant Spiritual Root, Heaven-Defying and changing fate. After the pain, came new life!

Everything, for Chen Cuo, passed uneventfully. His talent for pain perception was adjusted to the minimum.

Magic power was self-generated, but according to the Spirit Nurturing method…

At this time, the magic power within his body was still in its nascent form. After all, he was in the Jueling Realm. If it were truly magic power that could be controlled at will, the backlash would not just be pressure; it would be to the extent of directly killing him.

Although he wouldn't truly die, constantly being injured and constantly healing—the scene would be unimaginable, and his Undying talent would be exposed.
