My Informative Cultivation Life

Within the Spirit Birth Stone, Yang Ji absorbed the Power of Heaven and Earth's Creation bit by bit, and his entire body emanated layers of hazy Spiritual Light, resembling cocoons spun by silvery worms.

As time passed and as the power of creation was gradually absorbed, the originally crystal-clear Spirit Birth Stone slowly turned turbid.

From a flawless crystal, it became a block of solid ice, then it turned into a white stone, no longer transparent.

The figure of Yang Ji, who had merged into it, was now completely indiscernible.

During this process, both Yang Ji's Spiritual Root and physique quietly underwent a transformation, gaining the benefits of creation.

This Spirit Birth Stone was naturally nurtured by Heaven and Earth, a Spirit Birth that had been gestated and nourished by nature, thus it possessed the powerful ability to improve Spiritual Roots and enhance one's aptitude.

Amidst the transformation of his Spiritual Root, Yang Ji did not waste any time. His mind spun through countless thoughts, continuously contemplating the "Boundless Heaven and Earth," "Palm Taiji," and the "Wuji Sword Technique."

Boundless Heaven and Earth was a must-have Divine Skill for escaping and fighting; the Wuji Sword Technique was the strongest finishing move, and the Palm Infinity was an unresolved Sealing Technique.

Yang Ji took these three techniques very seriously.

He devoted himself wholeheartedly and engaged in deep contemplation.

Time ticked away bit by bit.

One year.

Two years.

Three years.

Cicadas had chirped several autumns, and winter grass had withered several times.

In the blink of an eye, three hundred years had passed.

During this time, Yang Ji's gains were enormous.

Although he had not opened his eyes, with a single stir of his Immortal Primordial Spirit, which was comparable to Mahayana, he already knew everything about the outside world.

The first thing that caught his attention was the change in his Spiritual Root.

Having absorbed all the power of creation from the Spirit Birth Stone, he had been born from the stone, and the Spirit Birth Stone that had spent all its power of creation had turned into ordinary White Jade Stones, scattered into pieces and spread evenly around him.

Over the years, the True Rigidity cultivation technique within him had been operating on its own. It was visible that the pure Dao energy exhaled by the Supreme Dao Stone Vein, which had transformed into a Purple Dragon, turned into strands of purple mist, constantly drifting towards him. They permeated into his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The speed of cultivation was so fast that in a mere three hundred years, he had quietly broken through to the peak of the middle stage of Divinity Transformation.

This rate of cultivation was incredibly impressive to him.

First, it was due to the pure Dao energy exhaled by the Supreme Dao Stone Vein, which was, aside from some precious Dao Pills, the fastest-cultivating resource in the Lower Realm, allowing his cultivation to soar in such a short time.

Second, he had transformed into a Spiritual Body, which allowed his cultivation speed to double compared to when he had his previous Supreme Root Bone.

At this moment, he felt a closer affinity with nature and the Great Dao.

The sense of separation he used to feel from Heaven and Earth had greatly diminished.

In the past, perceiving Heaven and Earth was like looking at a blurred picture, but now, it was as though he was in water, able to keenly sense the pulse between Heaven and Earth.

With a simple gesture of his hand, he could feel the invisible Spiritual Energy around him rushing towards him eagerly, wanting to enter his body.

Without the need for a Cultivation Technique to guide it, Spiritual Energy approached him; his soul was like Heaven, his body like Earth, constantly in a state of spiritual connection. The Spiritual Body was extraordinarily unique.

It was only now that he fully appreciated what it meant to be "nourished by Heaven in the womb, and born a superior being."

The Spiritual Body was truly a creation of Heaven, a darling of both Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, he finally began to experience the pace of cultivation consistent with a prodigy.

And this was just the Spiritual Body. Sacred Bodies, Taoist Bodies, Immortal Bodies were even more extraordinary, closer to nature and more in tune with the Great Dao—akin to constantly taking Enlightenment Pills, easily touching upon the Great Dao.

But the "Great Dao" was not a technique that one could simply follow and learn.

"Your affinity with the Great Dao is but a congenital advantage brought by your constitution. The Great Dao lays before you, simply offering you the chance to comprehend it. Whether you can penetrate its mysteries is another matter entirely,"

"Sacred Bodies and Taoist Bodies are intimate with the Great Dao because of such innate advantages. This is why the various major Sects value geniuses so highly."

"By contrast, those with Supreme Spiritual Roots or Superior Root Bones are rather unfortunate."

"Lacking affinity with the Great Dao, in order to come into contact with it, they need all sorts of fortuitous circumstances, opportunities, inspirations, and various Spiritual Objects that can aid in the comprehension of the Dao."

"Such as Enlightenment Tea, Enlightenment Pills, Enlightenment Stones, Enlightenment Flowers, and so on. Only by using these things can one come into contact with the Great Dao and stand on the same starting line as those with Sacred Bodies, Taoist Bodies, and Immortal Bodies."

"This is all due to the congenital disadvantages brought by one's physique. People with poor innate talent are destined to pay a larger price than those with Sacred, Taoist, or Immortal Bodies if they wish to attain the Dao."

"Some people are born watching the sunset in Rome, while others must struggle for ten, twenty years to make it to Rome to witness the same sunset."

"Life is inherently unfair."

"The Great Dao is even more ruthless, without the slightest shortcut available."

"For ordinary people, to live their whole life and manage to hear of the Dao, achieving Void Refining, is already the ultimate limit, a tremendous fortune. One shouldn't even dream of reaching Mahayana."

"Elder Bai Mei, with his Supreme Spiritual Root, has struggled for many years, finding it difficult to catch even a glimpse of the Dao."

"In the end, it was his senior brother, Li Changxiao, who exchanged an Enlightenment Pill within the Dao Sect, which finally gave him a sliver of opportunity to come into contact with the Great Dao and achieve Void Refining."

"But it became more difficult afterwards. There weren't that many Enlightenment Pills for him to consume, allowing him to always stay in the state of merging with the Dao and easily comprehend it."

"Limited by resources and talent, the upper limit of ordinary people has already been completely locked."

"Such a rigid Dao hierarchy has created a phenomenon where the strong are ever strong and the weak are ever weak, difficult to break."

"That is why Master Jian Yuanzi said that the only way to break through this rigidity is if an Immortal Fairy were to go blind and give birth to a Taoist Body for you, then there might be a chance for rising."

"After all, Sacred, Taoist, and Immortal Bodies are the darlings of the Great Dao, the kind that are fervently fed, loved so dearly that they are afraid of melting them in their mouths, and frightened of dropping them when held in hands."

"While those with Supreme Spiritual Roots or Superior Root Bones are like illegitimate children, foundlings, so despised that even the Great Dao won't grant them a glance, which is simply too bullying."

"Yang Ji has now achieved a Spiritual Body. Although it cannot compare to Sacred, Taoist, and Immortal Bodies, at the very least, he has become intimate with the Great Dao and accessing it has become much easier."

"At this moment, he can finally be considered to truly possess some of the conditions of a genius."

"With the Golden Finger in hand, his Void Refining and comprehending of the Dao are the stages where he will truly rise and surpass others; his brilliant radiance is about to fully burst forth, unstoppable by anyone."

"In these three hundred years, aside from obtaining a Spiritual Body,"

"Both Palm Taiji and Boundless Heaven and Earth have also been comprehended by him to the stage of perfection."

"Three hundred years, perfecting two Supreme Divine Powers, is extremely terrifying."

"But that truly reflects the profound foundation of Yang Ji,"

"Not only does he have the Golden Finger to guide him and see through everything,"

"His Primordial Spirit has condensed no less than eighteen Undying Holy Lights; with a single thought, he can cycle through tens, hundreds of thousands, even millions of times."

"When encountering problems during comprehension, a single thought allows him to instantaneously analyze it countless times, a feat of terrifying extremes."

"Moreover, his current realm is no longer what it used to be; his cognition, perspective, and understanding of things have increased countless times over."

"With a different realm, standing high and seeing far, his comprehension of Divine Skills has naturally become much faster than before."

"Although the two Supreme Divine Powers have been perfected, what regretfully remained for Yang Ji was that his Wuji Sword Technique was still at the mastery stage."

"But when he thought about it, he was relieved. After all, this is an Immortal Technique, filled with profound mysteries and encompassing everything; its difficulty in comprehension is normal."

"Being able to reach mastery was already very satisfying for him."
