Chapter 720: Chapter 296: The Purple Mansion’s Finest, Spirit Body’s Marvel, Spirit Realm’s Reply (Part 3)
The term "divine" in soul, and "spirit" in spiritual soul, each have their own explanations.
Spirit generally refers to intelligence and spirituality. Humans are born with intelligence and spirituality, thus their soul
can be called a spiritual soul.
However, beasts and plants, though possessing spirituality, find it difficult to awaken intelligence, hence their souls remain incomplete.
Only those demon beasts that have awakened intelligence can complete their souls, forming a beast soul.
The term divine, thus, refers to the divinity within the human body.
Once a cultivator’s soul moves into the Purple Mansion, it transforms into a divine soul, thereby gaining all sorts of mystical abilities.
The divine soul is also the divinity of the human body, overseeing all bodily organs and systems, including mana and other elements.
A simple example is the human neural response system, which isn’t directly controllable by the human will. But the divine soul can control it.
In other words, the divine soul can command specific neural units to open or close.
When the divine soul commands the closure of olfactory neural units, the cultivator can no longer smell anything, which is fundamentally different from merely holding one’s breath to isolate external scents.
Thus, when the divine soul emerges, the cultivator has already become the deity of their own body, controlling it to a godlike extent.
It is because of this capability of the divine soul that cultivators at the Purple Mansion Stage can let their divine soul leave the body to possess another.
However.
To awaken the soul, a Soul-Attracting Pill is still required.
Once this item is found.
Breaking through to the Purple Mansion is merely a moment’s task.
"It’s time to step out of seclusion."
Fu Changsheng suddenly opened his eyes.
His gaze swept across the hourglass beside him; fifteen years had passed in isolation, while five years had gone by in the outside world.
With a thought.
Buzz!
In the next instant.
He stepped out of the Training Room.
He saw that the Clan Contribution Points on the panel slightly trembled and instantly changed to twenty.
Seeing this, Fu Changsheng felt a pang of heartache:
"It seems I need to work harder to accumulate Clan Contribution Points."
The "Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique" he was currently cultivating has yet to deduce the Purple Mansion Chapter, which will surely require a substantial amount of Contribution Points.
With a wave of his sleeve.
The Yellow Stone Medicine Garden appeared before him.
The Foundation Establishment Pill cultivating there had matured when he reached Perfect Muscle Refining Realm. After harvesting, he replenished the plantation.
Moreover.
He noticed the Daoist Soldier Insect Mother had dropped twenty-four mature bean Daoist soldiers, the mother plant had sprouted and flowered again, and in five more years, another batch of twenty-four bean Daoist soldiers would mature.
"Oh"
Fu Changsheng skimmed past the Tree of Spiritual Eyes and Ancient Profound Vine.
His gaze settled on the Celestial Thunder Bamboo, which had thrived spectacularly after being nourished with the waste of the Seven-Colored Glazed Beast from the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower, far more effective than when using the Wood Flying Squirrel.
At this moment.
The panel in his mind slightly trembled.
Lines of text appeared:
[Ancient Profound Vine Associated Lifespan: 120]
[Golden Thunder Bamboo: (100/10000)]
[Tree of Spiritual Eyes:130]
The Ancient Profound Vine grows one aerial root every hundred years, and the Tree of Spiritual Eyes produces a drop of essence every two hundred years.
Judging by the longevity seen above.
If it were only a matter of waiting, quite a bit more time would be needed.
However, the evolution of the Celestial Thunder Bamboo surprised him. At this rate, with more waste from the Seven-Colored Glazed Beast, the growth rate of the Golden Thunder Bamboo would undoubtedly soar.
If he remembered correctly.
Information mentioned.
The Seven-Colored Glazed Beast requires Tri-Colored Grass for feeding, after which it can awaken its Bloodline Divine Technique:
"Looks like I need to find some Tri-Colored Grass."
As soon as the thought crossed his mind.
He considered exiting the Yellow Stone Medicine Garden.
Suddenly.
His pupils contracted.
He noticed that complex ancient characters had appeared on the Message Tree:
"This is.....a message from the Spirit Realm?"
Fu Changsheng was excited.
This indicated that the Ascendant Cultivator had not perished, and maintaining contact meant having guidance from a high-level cultivator in the future.
Moreover.
Should he advance to Divinity Transformation.
He could even receive directions for ascending.
Suppressing his inner joy, he recalled that he had previously inquired about the spiritual objects needed to break through to the Purple Mansion, and took a deep breath.
His gaze fell on the content.
But upon reading the text.
Fu Changsheng’s expression became peculiar because the writing resembled....like the scribbles of a child, and it was off-topic, only replying:
"Today, sister-in-law made Qilin Cake, it was so delicious, if only I could eat Qilin Cake like Sixth Brother for my birthday next year."
Completely written as a means of expressing feelings.
"Perhaps this time it’s just the scribblings of a mischievous child, and the Ascendant Cultivator is still alive, surely next time the message will be seen."
After pondering for a moment.
Fu Changsheng rewrote the message:
[Senior, greetings, I am Fu Changsheng, a cultivator from Luofeng Mountain of the Fu Family in Jingzhou of the Great Zhou realm. Could you please advise on what to consider for Core Formation and what auxiliary spiritual objects to prepare?]
Buzz!
The text slightly trembled.
Disappearing out of sight.
After waiting for a while.
There was no transmission from the Message Leaf.
Fu Changsheng quickly withdrew his attention from the Yellow Stone Medicine Garden. With a wave of his sleeve, the Cloud Ring Purple Immortal Tower floated before him.
In the first layer of the tower.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Fifteen years had passed.
The previously consumed Tier One Spirit-devouring Insects had reproduced another batch, additionally, a Tier Two Early-stage Spirit-devouring Insect had been born.
Thus far.
He had four Tier Two Spirit-devouring Insects in hand.
In the second layer of the Treasure Pagoda.
The Cyan Flood Dragon, after fifteen years in seclusion, had successfully broken through to Tier Three Middle Stage from being stuck at the very last point.
The panel slightly trembled.
A line of text appeared:
[Cyan Flood Dragon: Tier Three Middle Stage(10/3000)]
Evidently.
Breaking through to Tier Three Late Stage requires more energy, if merely relying on meditation, it might take hundreds of years:
