From the Earthly Immortal legacy.
Many methods to accelerate the growth of a Grotto-Heaven Paradise are recorded, the most important of which is cultivating various spiritual plants.
The greater the variety of spiritual plants cultivated, the faster the Grotto-Heaven Paradise advances in grade.
Spiritual plants contain fragments of the world’s laws. As the plants grow, these law fragments within them also grow and perfect themselves. Once the Grotto-Heaven Paradise analyzes these fragments, they can hasten its own growth.
Various ores function similarly.
Ores can be fused into the Grotto-Heaven Paradise using a Smelting Grand Array, thereby speeding up its growth and expansion.
Moreover, once an ore is integrated, the Grotto-Heaven Paradise can use energy to generate corresponding mineral veins.
One can also arrange various arrays to assist the Grotto-Heaven Paradise in accelerating its absorption and conversion of chaotic energies.
In the later stages, one can even use the Grotto-Heaven Paradise itself as an array diagram, employing its spiritual veins to form a grand array that voraciously devours external chaotic energy. This drastically reduces the time needed for the paradise to accumulate energy.
Beyond these methods of nurturing a Grotto-Heaven Paradise, the Earthly Immortal legacy also contains numerous spells and a series of supernatural power inheritances.
Within these supernatural power inheritances, some are broken down into stages: Minor Supernatural Power Seed, Minor Supernatural Power Embryo, Minor Supernatural Power, and so on, facilitating cultivation for practitioners at lower levels.
At the Golden Core realm, one begins to coalesce a Minor Supernatural Power Seed. At the Spirit Transformation realm, the Minor Supernatural Power Embryo takes preliminary form. By the Cave Void realm, the Minor Supernatural Power is completely solidified and officially takes root!
In fact, many spells are simplified versions derived from minor supernatural powers, intended to reduce the difficulty of cultivating the actual supernatural powers later on.
However, the Minor Supernatural Power Seed and Embryo stages possess greater potency and make it easier to condense the true Minor Supernatural Power in later stages.
The only drawback is the significantly higher cultivation difficulty in the early phases.
Among these supernatural power inheritances was the very one Ye Qingxuan had long yearned for—the Doppelganger Supernatural Power!
Minor Supernatural Power · Doppelganger:
-
Coalescing the Supernatural Power Seed allows the division of 2 ordinary clones, each possessing 30% of the main body’s cultivation base.
-
Coalescing the Supernatural Power Embryo allows the division of 4 ordinary clones, each possessing 50% of the main body’s cultivation base.
-
Achieving the Minor Supernatural Power · Doppelganger allows the division of 32 ordinary clones, each possessing 80% of the main body’s cultivation base.
The clones cultivated through this supernatural power allow Ye Qingxuan to control them regardless of distance—a feat many other doppelganger methods cannot achieve.
Furthermore, after coalescing the Supernatural Power Seed, one can utilize the foundational essence of the Grotto-Heaven Paradise to prematurely form an External Incarnation—something normally only cultivators at the Nascent Soul realm and above can create!
Ordinary clones can be re-coalesced if destroyed, but an External Incarnation, once lost, cannot be recreated!
However, the External Incarnation can possess 100% of Ye Qingxuan’s cultivation base. Moreover, even when separated from Ye Qingxuan’s main body, if the main body’s cultivation breaks through, the External Incarnation can also cultivate and break through on its own, though its cultivation cannot surpass the main body’s.
Most crucially, because the External Incarnation is formed from the foundational essence of the Grotto-Heaven Paradise, all karma and cause-and-effect are tied solely to the paradise itself.
If someone tries to deduce the karma of the External Incarnation, they will trace it back to the Grotto-Heaven Paradise, with no connection to Ye Qingxuan himself.
And while the Grotto-Heaven Paradise forms its own domain, before it detaches from the Di Xuan World, it remains a part of it. Therefore, deducing the paradise equates to deducing the Di Xuan World itself!
He wondered if there existed any powerhouse within the Di Xuan World capable of withstanding the karmic backlash from deducing an entire major world?
At this thought, a playful smile appeared on Ye Qingxuan’s face!
Apart from Minor Supernatural Power · Doppelganger, two others suited Ye Qingxuan’s intentions perfectly: Minor Supernatural Power · Deceive Heaven and Minor Supernatural Power · Change Form.
-
Minor Supernatural Power · Deceive Heaven (Supernatural Power Seed): Can conceal one’s own aura. Practitioners no more than three major realms above cannot see through it. Upon coalescing the true supernatural power, it can directly conceal one’s own karma!
-
Minor Supernatural Power · Change Form (Supernatural Power Seed): Can alter one’s physical form and appearance. Practitioners no more than three major realms above cannot see through it. Upon coalescing the true supernatural power, one can even transform into all manner of things!
In the future, with the dual assistance of his Grotto-Heaven Paradise, his cultivation speed would undoubtedly exceed anything the Xuan Tian Sect could imagine. Therefore, to avoid exposing himself prematurely, Minor Supernatural Power · Deceive Heaven was the perfect solution.
Combined, Minor Supernatural Power · Deceive Heaven and Minor Supernatural Power · Change Form could be used to create a new alternate identity for his External Incarnation to venture through the Di Xuan World.
Additionally, there were many supportive and offensive supernatural powers. He could select some to cultivate later for self-defense.
With these supernatural power inheritances, his combat prowess would undoubtedly rise by several levels. He wouldn’t be like before, possessing only cultivation but lacking in actual combat methods.
After all, his circumstances had changed. It was time for him to cultivate some self-protection techniques.
Once he broke through to the Golden Core realm and coalesced the Supernatural Power Seed!
From then on, his true self would remain hidden behind the scenes, merely an ordinary “Fortune Cultivator” within the Xuan Tian Sect, secretly raising his cultivation, practicing supernatural powers, and studying auxiliary cultivation paths like alchemy, artifact forging, array formation, and talisman crafting.
Meanwhile, his External Incarnation would venture through the Di Xuan World, experiencing its diverse sights and gathering various resources for the growth of the Grotto-Heaven Paradise.
This was Ye Qingxuan’s planned path for the future!
After simply organizing this legacy information, Ye Qingxuan curiously began examining the special informational content.
Upon reviewing it, his eyes widened in astonishment!
He finally understood what the solidified soul origin entity in his consciousness was!
He had always thought it was just a special soul entity formed due to his powerful soul from living two lives.
To call it a soul entity wasn’t wrong, but its more precise name was Immortal Soul.
It was an Immortal Soul—something that only beings at the Immortal Realm could give birth to!
Ye Qingxuan’s soul origin, protected by the World Pearl, traversed time and space. During this journey, his soul unexpectedly formed a contract with the Eternal Turtle, triggering a special metamorphosis that began its transformation into an Immortal Soul.
After arriving in the Di Xuan World, through various encounters, he attained enlightenment regarding his Dao Heart. This allowed his soul origin, which was already undergoing metamorphosis, to complete its transformation and solidify into a true Immortal Soul.
It was precisely this premature formation of the Immortal Soul that bestowed Ye Qingxuan with his heaven-defying comprehension ability!
Comprehension improves as one’s cultivation rises. Among those supreme experts standing at the peak, their comprehension abilities are already nearly on par with each other.
Ye Qingxuan’s early formation of the Immortal Soul allows it to continually metamorphose alongside his rising cultivation realms, ensuring his comprehension always far surpasses his current realm. This provides significant assistance for his growth.
Moreover, the Immortal Soul is key to the formidable survivability possessed by those great powers at the Immortal Realm!
Through the Immortal Soul, one can integrate their consciousness into their own essence of vitality, energy, and spirit, allowing the Immortal Soul, Immortal Body, and Immortal Power to be simultaneously infused and controlled by one’s consciousness.
From then on, “If consciousness remains unextinguished, I remain unextinguished.” Only by simultaneously annihilating all of an Immortal Realm being’s Immortal Soul, Immortal Body, and Immortal Power can one completely erase an Immortal Realm powerhouse.
The special information left in the Earthly Immortal legacy contained a method to integrate consciousness into the essence of vitality, energy, and spirit via the Immortal Soul. With the Immortal Soul governing everything, this method wasn’t difficult.
The only catch was that Ye Qingxuan’s physical body and spiritual energy couldn’t match the strength of an Immortal Body and Immortal Power, so the life-preserving effect might not be as unbelievable as those of Immortal Realm experts.
However, after integrating his consciousness into his essence of vitality, energy, and spirit, as long as he wasn’t completely pulverized on the spot, he wouldn’t face the direct risk of perishing.
As for recovering from injuries, that would depend on Ye Qingxuan’s speed of absorbing energy.
He definitely wouldn’t be able to instantly recover like those Immortal Realm powerhouses!
Although his true self wouldn’t venture out in the future, just to be safe, Ye Qingxuan decided to utilize his Immortal Soul to integrate his consciousness into his essence of vitality, energy, and spirit.
