Chapter 44: The Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique
If the compatibility of a spiritual root with all five types of spiritual energy is less than 20, it is considered a low-quality spiritual root.
The affinity of a single attribute aura reaches:
A spiritual root of level 20-39 is considered low-grade. (There is a 10% chance of achieving Foundation Establishment.)
40-59 is a mid-grade spiritual root. (30% chance of Foundation Establishment.)
Roots aged 60-79 are considered superior-grade. (The probability of forming a Core is 20-50%.)
A spiritual root of 80-99 is considered top-grade. (Ninety percent chance of forming a Core. One to two tenths chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.)
With the aid of elixirs and spiritual items, the probability can be further increased.
Yang Jiuli originally possessed a superior spiritual root, and with the experience accumulated in his previous life, there were almost no bottlenecks in his Core Formation.
The only difference is the quality of the Core Formation stage.
Even the probability of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage will be greatly increased.
His spiritual root is now beginning to recover to a low-level spiritual root, which is already a huge step forward.
For Yang Jiuli, there was no better opportunity than this!
Overjoyed, Yang Jiuli continued reading.
Because at this moment, the hidden attribute compatibility has become apparent.
Attributes:
Gold: (21/58)
Wood: (39/99)
Water: (24/66)
Fire: (28/79)
Earth: (26/51)
This is the compatibility of the spiritual root with the spiritual energy of the five elements.
"The data that follows should be the compatibility level before my spiritual root was damaged," Yang Jiuli murmured.
Most cultivators will choose the attribute cultivation method with the highest compatibility as their main cultivation method for Qi cultivation.
"The wood attribute compatibility is actually 99%? Could it be that fusing with the Azure Wood Immortal Seed has caused a transformation in my spiritual root?"
Yang Jiuli thought to himself.
The compatibility with spiritual energy reaches 99%.
In other words, if Yang Jiuli's spiritual root is repaired, it may transform into a top-grade spiritual root.
With this, he can cultivate wood-based techniques and his chances of breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage will reach 30%.
This made Yang Jiuli extremely happy.
In his previous life, he was unable to condense a golden core due to the limitations of his spiritual root, and could only form a true core in an ordinary way.
Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Therefore, as his lifespan was nearing its end, he had no choice but to go to the ancient cultivation cave to find the "Heavenly Evolution Pill" in order to change his foundation.
Ultimately, he met a tragic end, his body perished and his spirit vanished.
If he possesses a top-grade spiritual root, the Three Lives Stone's purification of spiritual energy will increase his chances of forming a Nascent Soul by 20%. (Yang Jiuli's wood attribute compatibility reaches 99, which is close to the legendary Heavenly-grade spiritual root and far stronger than ordinary top-grade spiritual roots.)
That's a 50% chance of reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
In this way, Yang Jiuli will have the opportunity to reach an even higher realm!
Overjoyed, Yang Jiuli withdrew his attention and looked at the jade box in front of him.
But inside the jade box, there was another jade plaque.
With a flick of his hand, the jade tablet flew out.
But there were a few ancient characters engraved on it:
The Green Emperor's Longevity Secrets.
"The Azure Emperor's Longevity Manual..." Upon seeing these five words, Yang Jiuli's heart stirred.
This is clearly a cultivation technique for immortality.
The fact that this person is named after an emperor suggests that his cultivation in the path of immortality must be extraordinary.
Yang Jiuli immediately released a wisp of his divine sense, sensing the jade tablet.
Upon this sensation, his consciousness was as if it had entered a vast ocean, where ripples spread and swallowed his consciousness.
The next moment, his consciousness seemed to enter a separate world.
This place is filled with an incredibly rich spiritual energy of green wood.
"In the beginning of chaos, Taiyi gave birth to Taichu, Taichu gave birth to Taishi... Of the myriad forms of Qi, only the Qi of Wood is ever-renewing."
"Heaven obtains clarity, earth obtains tranquility, spirits obtain divinity, valleys obtain fullness, all things obtain life, and man obtains longevity..." A grand and profound incantation resounded and manifested in his mind, becoming a written text.
"All things obtain life from it, and humans obtain longevity from it..." Upon hearing this technique, Yang Jiuli was deeply shocked.
The exercise manual also includes annotations:
Those who cultivate this technique will gain five years of lifespan for each minor advancement, and sixty years for each major advancement...
Advancing to the next major realm will multiply the progress in both minor and major realms compared to before...
"Advancing by one minor realm can increase lifespan by five years?" Upon seeing this annotation, Yang Jiuli was invigorated.
For cultivators, insufficient lifespan will be a major challenge for countless geniuses.
If one has enough lifespan, one can gradually solidify one's foundation, and breakthroughs will come naturally.
But how many people have such a long lifespan?
The lifespan of a Foundation Establishment cultivator is only two hundred and fifty years, and most of them will die in their early twenties.
Core Formation cultivators rarely live past five hundred years, and most cultivators don't even live to five hundred.
This Azure Emperor Longevity Technique increases lifespan by five years for each minor advancement in one's cultivation level.
If one reaches the tenth level of Qi Refining, wouldn't that extend one's lifespan by fifty years, reaching one hundred and seventy years?
With the added lifespan from taking elixirs, one could even reach 180 years old.
If one enters the early stage of Foundation Establishment, it will add another sixty years compared to ordinary people.
In other words, by cultivating the Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique, one can live to be over 360 years old even in the early stages of Foundation Establishment.
In addition, there are nine minor realms of Foundation Establishment.
The lifespan of each minor realm is double that of the Qi Refining stage, meaning that each advancement adds ten years to one's lifespan.
The Foundation Establishment stage can be further divided into nine minor realms: initial, intermediate, and final.
The ultimate perfection consists of ten minor realms.
That's another hundred years of lifespan.
In other words, if Yang Jiuli cultivates to the peak of Foundation Establishment, he can live for nearly 470 years, which is only about 30 years less than the lifespan of a Core Formation cultivator.
After breaking through to the Core Formation Realm, his lifespan will increase exponentially, reaching approximately 1020 years, which is 500 years longer than that of an ordinary Core Formation cultivator. If he uses these 500 years to solidify his foundation, his chances of entering the Nascent Soul Realm will be greatly increased compared to ordinary people.
"If I cultivate this 'Azure Emperor's Longevity Technique,' I will have an 80% chance of entering the Nascent Soul Realm!" Yang Jiuli was overjoyed.
This "Azure Emperor's Longevity Manual" is practically tailor-made for him now.
"Take a look at the level of the spiritual veins here!" Yang Jiuli immediately sat down cross-legged and used his magic to gather a wisp of wood spiritual energy.
The concentration of spiritual energy... Level 1.2!
Beside the Three Lives Stone, a row of data appeared.
"There's only level 1.2 here too!"
Seeing these figures, Yang Jiuli's earlier joy was extinguished as if doused with cold water.
Without a high-level spiritual vein, even if one cultivates in the Black Abyss for three hundred years, it would be difficult to form a core.
Eventually, everyone will grow old and die.
In addition, Yang Jiuli's divine sense locked onto the Three Lives Stone.
At this moment, a health bar appeared on the first side of the Three Lives Stone, on the gray interface.
A bluish light shimmered on it.
There is also a line of smaller print:
Energy recharge in progress: 7/100.
Yang Jiuli's eyes lit up when he saw this data.
"Could it be that by illuminating the gray interface of my first life on the Three Lives Stone, I can gain another chance to be reborn?"
Yang Jiuli pondered to himself.
This secretly pleased him.
However, Yang Jiuli's joy quickly faded, and he became solemn.
Charging the Three Lives Stone grants the chance to be reborn.
This also means that if he doesn't reach 100, he only has this one chance left!
Look at the data above.
7/100.
The Three Lives Stone absorbed less than 10% of the rare Green Wood Origin Energy to replenish its power.
Recharging to 100% is no easy feat.
You should know that in his previous life, Yang Jiuli lived for more than four hundred years and never saw this level of primordial spiritual energy!
"We only have one lifetime left, so we must cherish this opportunity!" Yang Jiuli stood up, his gaze sharpening.
Then, he looked at the dried corpse on the throne.
A dried corpse at the Nascent Soul stage or above.
If a seed is planted using a "past life talisman" and then controlled...
He was filled with excitement just thinking about it.
