Chapter 310: 193, Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate bestows the Cave Spirit, the mysterious snake transforms into a dragon_4
Is this the Immortal Fate I received after condensing my Purple Mansion and refining the Ghost Snake Gang Aura Vein?
Xu Xing was puzzled. The name [Cave Spirit] was somewhat difficult to decipher, unlike the two deputy Immortal Fates, [Sui Yun] and [Clear Array], whose purposes were obvious at a glance.
He opened the secondary page for the Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate [Cave Spirit].
[Cave Spirit (Nine Luminaries): Accompanied by the spirit of the Purple Mansion, during Cultivation, one gains affinity with the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth within a three-mile radius.]
Purple Mansion… Xu Xing mused. It's the residence of my Returning Core and also my Cave Mansion. Is that why the Immortal Fate [Cave Spirit] was named so?
After reviewing the introduction for the Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate [Cave Spirit], Xu Xing had a moment of sudden understanding.
Solidify the Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate [Cave Spirit]!
No longer hesitating, Xu Xing focused his intent and began to solidify this Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate, [Cave Spirit], using Taoist Fruits.
In an instant, the Magic Power in his body began to be consumed at a frantic pace.
Inside the Purple Mansion, the Ghost Snake, which was swimming about, suddenly stiffened. Fine scales began to grow on its exterior, and two bulges appeared on its forehead.
Is it showing signs of transforming into a dragon?
Xu Xing was overjoyed.
Once he refined it, this spirit of the Purple Mansion, the Ghost Snake, no longer possessed self-awareness but became a special extension of his own consciousness. Although the Ghost Snake did not have a Physical Body, transformation into a dragon was not limited to beings with physical forms; spiritual entities could also transform. Dragons are a manifestation of a supreme Law, not merely symbols of auspiciousness or Spirit Beasts.
The Ghost Snake must be showing these signs of dragon transformation because I condensed an Immortal Fate, thereby reversing its Innate state... Xu Xing pondered.
「Soon, about eleven days later.」
The Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate [Cave Spirit] was finally solidified in the Taoist Fruits section.
It's a pity... Xu Xing thought. It still lacked some karmic opportunity. It only transformed into a hornless dragon, not a True Dragon...
He looked at the illusory spirit swimming within his Purple Mansion. The former Ghost Snake had now indeed become a hornless dragon.
Simultaneously, Spiritual Energy from a three-mile radius began to surge towards Xu Xing's location. He then perceived the other effect of this [Cave Spirit] Immortal Fate: the ability to gather Spiritual Energy!
This effect might seem unremarkable. After all, few Cultivators who reached the Returning Core Realm would be unable to deploy a Gathering Array.
However, it was not so simple. The Spiritual Energy gathered by a Gathering Array was diffuse and chaotic. The Nine Luminaries Immortal Fate [Cave Spirit], however, gathered Spiritual Energy in a more refined manner. It was essentially like having an assistant help the Cultivator sort and manage the gathered Spiritual Energy, thereby increasing Cultivation speed.
A five percent increase...
After meditating for about one hour, Xu Xing found that his Magic Power had increased by five percent more than usual. He was overjoyed, a wide smile spreading across his face.
A permanent five percent increase to his Cultivation speed! Even a Nascent Soul Saint Monarch would be green with envy upon hearing of such an effect. This was equivalent to a permanent boost in one's own aptitude.
Consider this: cultivating for one hundred days would save five days' worth of effort. Cultivating for a hundred years or a thousand years would save even more Time.
No one would ever complain about having too much lifespan.
If I can upgrade [Cave Spirit] in the future, the range for gathering Spiritual Energy will likely increase significantly. But how are deputy Immortal Fates upgraded? The two I have, [Clear Array] and [Sui Yun], have remained unchanged. Initially, I assumed that if I improved my comprehension of array techniques to the level of a "Second Level Array Master" or "Third-Level Array Master," the Tenth Heaven Immortal Destiny [Clear Array] would upgrade. But…
Xu Xing frowned. If the main Immortal Fate can be upgraded, then deputy Immortal Fates must also be upgradeable. Their levels can't be permanently fixed.
There must be some crucial point he hadn't yet discovered.
