Chapter 27 Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending
The Pure Yang Manual was divided into five major chapters, from Level-1 to Level-5. They corresponded to the five major realms of Qi Refinement, Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul, and Soul Formation.
Moreover, the rarest thing was that the Pure Yang Manual didn’t have high requirements for Spiritual Root attributes.
However, there was only one threshold.
That was to cultivate a matching Dao Body.
This Dao Body was called the Pure Yang Avatar!
The cultivation of the Pure Yang Avatar was also divided into levels, namely from One-Yang to Nine-Yang, with a threshold every three levels. Only when the avatar was perfected would it be a “Pure Yang Avatar”.
For example, if one wanted to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm, he had to first master the Three-Yang Body.
Meanwhile, if one wanted to achieve the Core Formation Realm, they needed a Six-Yang Body.
To advance to the Nascent Soul Realm, one had to first have a Nine-Yang Body.
When Chen Mobai saw this, he discovered a familiar point.
Wasn’t the Three-Yang Body the Spiritual Root enhancement technique that Old Man Ding had bitterly cultivated when he was young? It was no wonder that the Pure Yang Academy directly recruited him after he mastered it.
Unfortunately, Old Ding did not succeed in achieving the Foundation Establishment Realm at the end.
But wasn’t this Three-Yang Body a Dao Body? What did it have to do with improving his Spiritual Root?
Chen Mobai was puzzled and wanted to continue reading, but he realized that he didn’t have enough points. He could only read the outline and table of contents in the Pure Yang Manual. He couldn’t read the specific cultivation method of the Three-Yang Body.
He cursed silently. However, he had another idea.
He opened the “Auxiliary Cultivation” app and entered the “Pure Yang Avatar” in the search bar.
As expected, all techniques returned to their origin.
More than 200 pages of search results appeared. It seemed that there were many people in the entire immortal sect who cultivated the Pure Yang Manual.
Chen Mobai opened a video at the top of the search page. It was uploaded by a Core Formation Perfected One with the name “Shao Yang.”
“Although this Pure Yang Avatar is a cultivation of the Dao Body, it is based on the Spiritual Root.”
“The difficulty of cultivating the Pure Yang Manual is actually on par with the Pure Jade Scripture. However, after Patriarch Yuan Yang became a Soul Formation cultivator, he felt that the Great Dao was difficult, so he created the cultivation method of the Pure Yang Avatar for the Pure Yang Manual, greatly reducing the threshold of cultivation.”
“From the First-Yang Body to the Nine-Yang Body, the Pure Yang Avatar requires 27 wood attribute points, 27 water attribute points, and ideally at least 20 fire attribute points in one’s Spiritual Root. This way, when the technique is perfected, one can basically be sure that they will have a Immortal Spiritual Root with 100 fire attribute points.”
After listening to Daoist Shao Yang’s explanation, Chen Mobai understood why the Three-Yang Body was also a Spiritual Root enhancement technique.
It turned out that the cultivation threshold of the original “Pure Yang Manual” was also very high. It required one to be born in a specific year, month, day, and time. Furthermore only a baby with a pure Yang body could cultivate it.
Ever since the immortal sect established its orthodoxy on Planet Earth, the upper echelons had calculated the time and date of birth, making the cultivators below work hard to have children. There were also many children with pure Yang bodies.
One of them was Patriarch Yuan Yang, who had founded the Pure Yang Academy.
However, he was also a great sage who was obsessed with nurturing his descendants and buried his head in the education industry. In order to spread the Pure Yang Dao to the world and allow most cultivators to cultivate it, he created the cultivation method of the Pure Yang Body.
It was the Pure Yang Avatar!
Patriarch Yuan Yang came from the Heaven Mending Dao College and had personally experienced the power of the “Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending”. He had been inspired by it.
The “Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending” was comprehended by the first-generation Patriarch of the immortal sect from the Upper World’s Heavenly Book. Once used, it could reconstruct the Spiritual Root attributes of a cultivator. It was indeed heaven-defying.
Take the attributes of Chen Mobai’s Spiritual Root before he ate the Green Blood Carp for example.
Chen Mobai’s Spiritual Root attribute values were: Metal 23, Wood 27, Water 25, Fire 17, and Earth 10.
The attribute points of the five attributes added up to exactly 100 points. This was assigned by the heavens, so it could only depend on luck.
Meanwhile, “Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending” could allow one to artificially change this point allocation later on.
In layman’s terms, one’s attribute points would be reshuffled.
If Chen Mobai used “Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending”, he could specify a certain attribute and then assign the points from the remaining four attributes to the chosen attributes.
For example, if he liked the wood attribute the most, he could turn the 23 metal attribute points, 23 water attribute points, 17 fire attribute points, and the 10 earth attribute points into neutral attribute points. Then, he would distribute them all to the wood attribute and simply have a perfect wood-attribute Heaven Spiritual Root with 100 wood attribute points.
There was another term for this 100-point Spiritual Root in the immortal sect. It was called the “Immortal Spiritual Root”.
Such a person had never been born. It could only be achieved using “Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending”. Patriarch Yuan Yang had obtained the baptism of “Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending” and reconstructed his Spiritual Root into an Immortal Spiritual Root with 100 fire attribute points.
With the “Immortal Spiritual Root” and the “Pure Yang Body”, he cultivated extremely quickly.
In just 500 years, he had cultivated his Essence Soul. He was the fastest Soul Formation Patriarch in the history of the immortal sect to do so.
Unfortunately, only Soul Formation Patriarchs could use this immortal technique, and it would consume a lot of vitality.
Therefore, no one had had such a blessing in the past 1,000 years.
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chen Mobai finished watching the video of Daoist Shao Yang explaining the Pure Yang Body. Only then did he understand why he needed 27 wood attribute points, 27 water attribute points, and ideally at least 20 fire attribute points in one’s Spiritual Root.
The way of the heavens was to take what was left and to make up for what was lacking.
The cultivation of this Pure Yang Avatar used the water and wood attributes to make up for the fire attribute.
According to the theory of the five elements, his water Spiritual Root would be transformed into a wood Spiritual Root. Then, the wood Spiritual Root would be transformed into a fire Spiritual Root. In the end, he would achieve an effect similar to “Immortal Technique, Heaven Mending”.
The cultivation of each level was determined by the cultivator’s talent, comprehension, and resources. At most, they could lose three water attribute points and three wood attribute points at every level. However, in the end, they could experience an increase of nine fire attribute points by using the Pure Yang Manual.
If one achieved the Nine-Yang Body and was lucky enough to convert nine points every time, even a cultivator without a fire Spiritual Root would eventually have a Heaven Spiritual Root with 81 fire attribute points.
If he already had 20 fire attribute points in their Spiritual Root, with the two stacked together, his fire attribute points would increase to 100, raising his Spiritual Root to an immortal fire Spiritual Root.
Seeing this, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but feel excited. He looked at the attributes of his Spiritual Root.
He had exactly 20 wood attribute points. Meanwhile, he originally had 23 water attribute points, but after the Jade Blood Carps, he now had 30 water attribute points. This perfectly met the requirements to cultivate the Pure Yang Avatar.
He looked at his fire attribute points. He had 17 points.
This was like a fly in the ointment.
When he achieved the Nine-Yang Body, it would add up to exactly 98 points. He was just two points way from achieving an Immortal Spiritual Root.
Chen Mobai had already imagined himself mastering the Pure Yang Body, achieving the Soul Formation Realm, sweeping through the world, and becoming a revered ancestor.
Then, he watched a few cultivation videos on the Three-Yang Body. In an instant, he felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.
“The fastest to cultivate the Three-Yang Body was a cultivator called Ming Yang. He spent 12 years. Then, he used 39 years to cultivate the Six-Yang Body. In the end, he cultivated for 86 years to cultivate the Nine-Yang Body. However, at that time, his lifespan was already insufficient, and he was unable to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm. In the end, he died of old age.”
