Chapter 28 Yuan Yang Sword
Although Planet Earth had entered a cultivation civilization and everyone’s lifespan had greatly increased, there was still a limit.
The Imperial Medicine Palace had also done a lot of research on the lifespan of humans.
After sampling the lifespan of 100,000 ordinary cultivators, the lifespan of every cultivator was determined.
Qi Refinement Realm cultivators basically had a lifespan of 120 years.
Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators had a lifespan of 240 years.
Meanwhile, Golden Core Realm cultivators had a lifespan of 480 years.
Lastly, the lifespan of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators was double that of Golden Core Realm cultivators at 960 years.
Of course, this data was not absolute. It would vary from person to person, but that was how long a normal cultivator’s lifespan was.
If one cultivated a special cultivation technique, used a nourishing technique, or consumed a life-prolonging spirit medicine, it was possible for them to live for another 60 years.
As for Soul Formation cultivators, due to the scarcity of examples and the lack of sufficient samples, the Imperial Medicine Palace did not announce their lifespan.
However, according to the previous lifespan pattern, they should have a lifespan of 1,920 years. This was a lifespan of almost 2,000 years.
Chen Mobai’s biggest dream was to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of 60.
The Imperial Medicine Palace had also done research on cultivators breaking through to the next realm. The conclusion was that the success rate of breaking through was the highest when one’s age was less than half of their expected lifespan.
For example, if a Qi Refinement Realm cultivator wanted to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, it was best to do so before the age of 60. This was the final peak of the human body. After this age, no matter how much one maintained their Qi Refinement cultivation, all kinds of bodily functions would begin to decline greatly.
Initially, Chen Mobai felt that he only had a 1% chance of reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of 60. Now, although he had the opportunity to obtain the mysterious turtle shell, he felt that there was only a 10% chance.
There were 300 million cultivators in the entire immortal sect.
One in 100 cultivators could cultivate to Qi Refinement Level-9.
Among the Qi Refinement Level-9 cultivators, only the cream of the crop cultivators could successfully reach the Foundation Establishment Realm. After analyzing the data from these successful Foundation Establishment cultivator samples, the Imperial Medicine Palace discovered that more than 90% of them were young people who had reached the Foundation Establishment realm before the age of 60.
Once one passed the age of 60, their blood essence and spirit would be insufficient. Those who successfully achieved the Foundation Establishment Realm afterwards either had an opportunity or were blessed by the heavens.
Achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm was already so difficult, but advancing to the Core Formation Realm was even more difficult. The success rate of this realm was one in a thousand.
Needless to say, there might not even be one Nascent Soul cultivator in several eras.
The current Venerable Nascent Soul was a veteran who had emerged after 1,000 years and 100 eras.
Chen Mobai’s aptitude was average. He had no confidence in achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm before the age of 60. If he spent another ten years cultivating the Three-Yang Body, he felt that he would basically be done for.
Therefore, although the Pure Yang Manual was very rare, after summarizing various considerations, he felt that he should cultivate the Five Elements Technique obediently.
The good example, Master Qing Ping, was right in front of him. With this most common Qi Refinement-Realm cultivation technique, if he could reach the Nascent Soul Realm, he would switch to cultivating the Pure Jade Scripture. It would not be a bad path to immortality.
Meanwhile, Old Ding was a bad example. His experience was to be taken as an warning.
After persuading himself in his heart, Chen Mobai resisted the urge to log into his main account and exchange points for the Pure Yang Manual afterwards.
However, even though he thought so, he could not help but download the video of Daoist Shao Yang explaining the cultivation of the “Pure Yang Avatar”.
At least he could kill time in class today.
“It happens to be Old Ding’s class today. I’ll ask him about the Three-Yang Body.”
As Chen Mobai muttered to himself, he pressed on the Return to City button.
In the teacher’s office.
“Teacher Ding, you were a disciple of Pure Yang College. I wonder what’s the difference between this college and the four major Dao Colleges?”
After class, Chen Mobai followed his old pattern and was a step behind. When he turned into the teacher’s office to ask how to break the lightning restriction, he pretended to be curious and asked casually.
“Actually, according to the size of the students and the strength of the teachers, the top ten academies are already no different from the four major Dao Colleges.”
Old Ding was a good teacher. After hearing Chen Mobai’s question, he told him what he knew.
“In that case, do they differ in terms of cultivation techniques?”
Chen Mobai asked again, wanting to steer the topic to the Pure Yang Manual.
“The Taiyuan Academy and Pure Yang Academy also have Soul Formation techniques. Their techniques are on par with the inheritances of the four Dao Colleges.”
Old Ding shook his head.
“Then what exactly is the difference?”
Chen Mobai did not dare to mention the Pure Yang Avatar, so he could only follow Old Ding’s words.
“The legacy of the four top Dao Colleges is the oldest, and each of them has a Soul Formation foundation. Meanwhile, the founders of the ten top academies are basically all from the four top Dao Colleges, so even if they surpass them for a moment, they still abide by their duty and don’t dare to call themselves the fifth Dao College.”
“Then what are the Soul Formation foundations of the four top Dao Colleges?”
There were all kinds of speculations on the Internet. Chen Mobai thought that Old Ding knew about it, so he continued to ask in order to bring the topic back to the Pure Yang Academy.
“They’re all top secret. Only those at the top know the exact situation. However, there are two Exalted Ones in the immortal sect. One is from the Dance Dao College, while the other studied at the Heaven Mending Dao College when he was young. He’s still the nominal honorary dean of the Heaven Mending Dao College.”
Everyone knew the origins of the two Soul Formation Patriarchs.
“However, I know that the Pure Yang Academy has a superior-grade Rank-5 Yuan Yang Sword. It can also be classified as a Soul Formation foundation!”
Just as Chen Mobai was worrying about how to change the topic, Old Ding started to talk about what happened at the Pure Yang Academy.
“In the entire immortal sect, there are only three superior-grade Rank-5 flying swords. The Yuan Yang Sword was only refined after Patriarch Yuan Yang burned his entire Dao Fruit before he passed away. It is intelligent.”
“Patriarch Yuan Yang’s eldest disciple once controlled this intelligent flying sword. Anyone below the Soul Formation Realm can be killed with one strike.”
“However, refining this sword requires at least the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm. Moreover, if you refine it for a long time, it will greatly damage your essence energy and is not conducive to cultivation. Therefore, when I entered the academy, this sword had already been sealed to be worshiped in the hall. I was lucky enough to worship it once.”
When Chen Mobai heard this, he felt sad.
A superior-grade Rank-5 flying sword was actually sealed because no one refined it.
“Isn’t it said that those who cultivate the Pure Yang Avatar are filled with essence energy? Why can’t they refine the Yuan Yang Sword?”
“One still has to completely master the Pure Yang Avatar. Even the Venerable Nascent Soul with the Nine-Yang Body can’t withstand the absorption of spiritual energy from the Yuan Yang Sword every day and night. If one doesn’t even have enough spiritual energy to cultivate, how can they give half of their spiritual energy to the flying sword?”
Old Ding rolled his eyes. What he said made Chen Mobai instantly empathize.
If it were him, he would definitely not agree to give half of his spiritual power he painstakingly absorbed and cultivated every day to the Yuan Yang Sword before he completed his Great Dao.
In addition, this Yuan Yang Sword could only be refined by a Nascent Soul expert, and a Nascent Soul expert would make advancing to the Soul Formation Realm their first goal. How could they waste half of their cultivation time on a flying sword?
“Didn’t they say that if a Dharma treasure isn’t provided with spiritual energy for a long time, its grade will drop? In that case, wouldn’t it be a waste of Patriarch Yuan Yang’s sacrifice?”
“Don’t worry, every Rank-5 Dharma treasure is a Material Cultural Heritage item of the immortal sect. Every year, the immortal sect will allocate a sum of Spirit Stones from the National Bank to let the Pure Yang Academy nurture the Yuan Yang Sword so that it won’t drop in grade. Unfortunately, this sum of Spirit Stones is specialized and can only be used exclusively. Otherwise, the Pure Yang Academy can at least save half the time of the students who cultivate the Pure Yang Avatar.”
