Chapter 236: Conclusion of Cause and Effect
The Divine Shaman lineage relied on cultivating Yin Qi to strengthen the Primordial Spirit, thereby deriving numerous mystical divine techniques.
This was somewhat similar to that of a Qi Cultivator, who did not need to devote much effort to research divine skills. If one's cultivation was sufficient, they could apply the methods left by the predecessors and display many secret techniques.
From the embryonic state, Shamans were infused with a substantial amount of Yin Qi. Innately different, they were mostly born female, with the occasional exception who lacked Yang Qi and could not be considered a normal male baby.
This path of cultivation was quite abnormal; one could even say it was harmful to the harmony of heaven, as it reversed the natural order, forcibly intervening in innate matters, naturally carrying significant side effects.
Chu Zheng had researched for a long time and still had not found an appropriate solution.
According to the cultivation method of Witchcraft, ultimately without any external interference, one would turn oneself into a Yin God, completely abandoning the physical body, similar to an Incense Spirituality.
By that time, they could no longer be considered living beings.
Chu Zheng conducted many experiments, and the results were consistently unsatisfactory. Once the Yin Qi within a witch's body was neutralized by Yang Qi, the cultivation would immediately become unstable, even leading to a complete loss of mana.
The Primordial Spirit remained powerful and did not regress, but with Yang Qi causing interference and blockage, it could no longer deploy any secret techniques or divine skills.
After fruitless attempts, Chu Zheng immediately considered another path, drawing from the Immortal Law he had acquired earlier, and created a new method of cultivation similar to Witchcraft.
The Primordial Spirit as Yin, the physical body as Yang, completely separating the two.
Valuing the Primordial Spirit over the physical body, using the Primordial Spirit to nourish the frail physical body to achieve a much longer lifespan and more robust mana.
As the physical body's Yang Qi influenced the Primordial Spirit, its properties would gradually change, ultimately cultivating into a Yang God.
This was a method of cultivation existing only in Chu Zheng's mind, requiring a long time for validation.
But now, he had plenty of time.
The White Tiger had been slain by the Heavenly Dao; the position of Beast Emperor was vacant, giving the Human Race a long period of peace, long enough for him to complete this incarnation's journey.
...
...
With the sunset and moonrise, and the repeated cold waves, nearly a hundred years had passed.
In a hundred years, enough had happened; the Wan Clan's territories were all reclaimed, the frontline camps of the three clans had advanced deep into the Three Desolates, and the Human Race's territory had doubled compared to before.
The population had also surged dramatically. Chu Zheng's Golden Body was almost omnipresent in every tribe of the Dongyuan Human Clan, with countless believers.
However, the quality of these believers was exceedingly low; true believers were few and far between.
In a world without the seeds of faith, establishing a deeply rooted deity required a long time.
Moreover, not everyone was willing to believe in gods. Without the slightest reverence, even if they worshipped, it could only be considered blasphemy, unable to provide any Incense Fire Willpower.
Nevertheless, decades ago, Chu Zheng's original body had already sensed the barrier of the Tongxuan Realm. With just a thought, he could cross it.
Yet he suppressed his rising cultivation and began to do his utmost to stabilize his foundation and purify his Divine Infant.
He took seriously the impurities mentioned by Nie Longhu before, and to avoid interference with his path, he wasted a great deal of Incense Fire Willpower to repeatedly purify and refine it until there were no impurities left, only then integrating it into the Divine Infant.
Years of accumulation had made his Divine Infant stronger than that of a typical Immortal Path Cultivator with the Nine Transformations of Divine Infant by more than ten times, ready to enter Tongxuan at any time.
During this century, Chu Zheng had spent a lot of time and energy researching Witchcraft, inevitably affecting his progression in his cultivation.
Now, the secret medicines for increasing cultivation needed to be prioritized for newborns, and they were in short supply. As he was not from this world, there was no need to waste this resource; the Dongyuan Human Clan needed them more.
With the Nine Orifices Golden Core within him, even if Chu Zheng only practiced the circulation of Qi daily without taking any secret medicines, his cultivation had steadily stepped into the Completion of Refine Spirit Realm over the years, just one step away from the Refining Spirit Returning to Void Realm.
His cultivation base was already sufficient, but Chu Zheng was not in a hurry to take this step.
Having not emerged in a hundred years, the Tribulation Qi had accumulated to a certain extent. He had a premonition that crossing this step would bring a major calamity.
For him, the Tribulation Qi was the next problem to be solved. In this life, walking in the world under the name Zheng Chu, the mitigated Tribulation Qi had almost no effect on his original body.
If it were not for his sufficiently solid foundation before, which endured enough Tribulation Qi for him to calmly cultivate until Refining Spirit Returning to Void, coupled with his original body's Qi Refinement's Cultivation not being too high, he would likely already be facing trouble.
...
...
As night fell and the moon shone brightly among sparse stars.
Inside the hall.
Clad in a black robe, Chu Zheng sat cross-legged on a jade couch, his eyelids lightly closed, circulating the Circuit of Qi and drawing in Yin Yang Dual Qi.
With completely stretched muscles and bones, tall and straight, and with a broad back, his body, in every inch of flesh, was filled with unimaginably powerful vitality.
The totem was constantly enhancing his vitality; even without much cultivation, his current physical body, tearing apart a Fifth Order fierce beast, still required no effort.
Moments later, Chu Zheng slowly opened his eyes, sitting high like a Divine Monarch on a cloud, and softly called out, "Wan Xiu." Your adventure continues at empire
A girl around fifteen or sixteen years old, with bright eyes, hurriedly rushed into the hall, bowed deeply, and respectfully said, "Dao Lord, what are your divine instructions?"
Her eyes were filled with sincere reverence, clearly worshipping Chu Zheng as one would a god.
