I Am A Corpse Collector In The World Of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 83: Seven Layers of Nascent Soul

"Are we not having a feast today?"

Chen Xiaoxiao asked.

Today, Lord Jiu did not take her to the Drunken Immortal Tower for a meal, which made her a little disappointed.

The dishes there are delicious.

"Today, Lord Jiu will take you to visit the North Sea in the morning and the Cangwu Mountains in the evening."

Usually, Chen Shen only took her to play near the Cangwu Mountains, but now he decided to take his niece to see a broader sky.

Then, the two of them went to a sea area near a certain country and visited the famous immortal mountains of ten countries.

Those mountains were even taller than the Cangwu Mountains and were located where the Tianmo Sect used to be.

They rode on immortal cranes, transcending the mortal world, and witnessed the prosperity of the human realm.

"How do you view immortals?"

As dawn approached, the two of them stopped at the top of a mountain, and Chen Shen asked.

"Free and unrestricted, capable of anything?" Chen Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and replied.

"Do you aspire to become an immortal?"

"Can I become one too?"

"If you are willing, naturally you can. Just like me, soaring in the sky, visiting the North Sea in the morning and the Cangwu Mountains in the evening."

"I'm willing!" Chen Xiaoxiao nodded heavily.

After all, she was still a naive child and found it interesting, so she agreed.

Next, Chen Shen took out the refined Ascending Spirit Pill and handed it over, saying, "Take this, it will be of great benefit to you."

Chen Xiaoxiao was obedient and, more importantly, she really felt a sense of closeness from him and believed he wouldn't deceive her.

She took the Ascending Spirit Pill and ate it, smacking her lips and saying, "It's quite tasty."

Buzz!

An inexplicable fluctuation occurred, and Chen Xiaoxiao felt her body becoming ethereal, her senses sharpened. She seemed to see colorful gases floating in the air.

But when the effect of the pill wore off, she couldn't see anything anymore.

She hadn't opened her dantian yet, so she naturally couldn't resonate with spiritual energy.

"Not bad." Chen Shen nodded slightly.

His niece's spiritual root was still of medium quality, but her talent had definitely improved. The difference in cultivation speed compared to someone with a high-quality spiritual root was not significant.

"As an immortal, it is necessary to carry weapons for self-defense. Xiaoxiao, which type of weapon do you like?"

Chen Shen waved his sleeve, and eighteen weapons were displayed in front of her.

"This one!" Xiaoxiao immediately set her eyes on a white longsword.

After all, she was a girl and liked things that were beautiful and shiny.

"Alright, starting from tomorrow, Lord Jiu will teach you swordsmanship!" Chen Shen nodded.

Then, Xiaoxiao fell asleep in a daze.

He carried his young niece back to the Chen Mansion, and Mu Xiaojin suddenly appeared. She said, "Why don't you reveal the cruel side of the cultivation world to her directly? Why teach her cultivation without exposing her to it?"

Chen Shen shook his head and said, "She is still young. If I were to show her directly, Xiaoxiao would definitely not be willing to cultivate with me. Besides, she possesses a spiritual root and will definitely step onto the path of cultivation in the future. She will experience what she needs to experience. I can protect her for a while, but I can't protect her for a lifetime. Instead of explaining it directly, it's better to let her face it on her own in the future."

The two of them had discussed this issue before they started teaching Chen Xiaoxiao.

The cultivation world is cruel and not something ordinary people can endure.

But in the end, Chen Shen decided not to show the cruel side of cultivation and teach her first.

The next day, five-year-old Chen Xiaoxiao began her cultivation journey with her Nascent Soul uncle.

"In the immortal world, there are many aspects of cultivation, such as Dao cultivation, Body Refining, weapon forging, talisman making, pill refining, and array formation. Among them, Dao cultivation and Body Refining are the most important, the means to seek longevity through the Dao.

As for Dao cultivation, I won't teach you. You will understand after you turn fourteen. I will only teach you Body Refining and the four arts that follow, as well as swordsmanship."

On top of a low mountain, Chen Xiaoxiao sat cross-legged, while Chen Shen sat opposite her, talking confidently.

Chen Xiaoxiao planned to check her spiritual roots later and intended to go to Cangwu. If her cultivation level was detected at that time, she would be exposed.

As for other methods, as long as they were not revealed, they could naturally be displayed later.

But the little one didn't understand anything and could only nod.

"I'll teach you Body Refining and Swordsmanship first." Chen Shen threw out two books.

Both were created by himself.

Teaching Body Refining was to lay the foundation for the subsequent four arts. It was not necessary to use spiritual energy to set up formations for refining tools and talismans. A Body Refining cultivator with vigorous blood energy could naturally do it too.

Experts in Body Refining, without the need for spiritual energy, could fly and travel underground, relying on their abundant blood energy.

Although Chen Xiaoxiao was not allowed to cultivate, Chen Shen still wrote a set of techniques for her. It was much stronger than the Qinglian Immortal Law and could ensure that she would have a smoother path in her cultivation.

As for swordsmanship, Chen Shen planned to teach her two styles. One was his own creation, which could be used as a trump card when facing a desperate situation.

The other was a powerful sword technique from the new Cangwu. When she faced the sword trial in the future, she could choose this one.

It was like cheating.

If Chen Xiaoxiao chose to develop other talents in the future, it wouldn't be a problem either. With her uncle's help, she could cheat in all aspects.

As time passed, Chen Xiaoxiao showed great talent in swordsmanship, which was quite impressive.

Of course, she was definitely not as good as Lin Xuan and Zhu Ming in their prime.

As for other aspects, it was a mess, but with Chen Shen's help, it was not a problem.

"Why don't you pass on your cautiousness to her?" Mu Xiaojin often observed and asked.

"I can't do that, but Xiaoxiao is different." Chen Shen shook his head and said, "Cangwu is not the same as before. The Ye family no longer dominates everything, and it is entering a period of rapid development. Xiaoxiao has caught up with this critical moment, so it is natural for her to be more outstanding in order to obtain more resources and not worry about being unable to reach Nascent Soul."

Some people were destined to be cautious, like Chen Shen, who had the hope of immortality and had to be careful.

But Chen Xiaoxiao was different. With her medium-grade spiritual roots and the potential to reach Nascent Soul, she could dominate the ten countries for a thousand years.

There was no need to be cautious. She just needed to shine brightly, leave her mark in the history of the new sect, and maybe even be hailed as the founder of the sect.

...

In the blink of an eye, five years had passed.

At noon, in the deep mountains near Cang Country, an inexplicable fluctuation spread.

Spiritual energy gathered above a thatched cottage in the mountains, forming a huge vortex of spiritual energy.

However, no one noticed.

Boom!

A muffled sound came from inside the house, and Chen Shen opened his eyes.

"Finally, the seventh level of Nascent Soul!" He let out a long sigh.

Chen Shen's divine sense spread out, increasing its range by several times.

The power of his soul and physical body had become so strong that he couldn't even estimate it himself.

After all, he had never really fought against a master, so it was difficult to measure his own strength.

But what he could be sure of was that no one below Soul Formation could withstand a direct attack from his Primordial Spirit.

In the evening, Chen Shen went to see his niece one last time.

"Xiaoxiao, you have reached the mastery level in all four arts, and your physical body is comparable to the late stage of Foundation Building. Both sets of swordsmanship have also reached perfection. It's time for us to part ways."

"Uncle?" Chen Xiaoxiao had grown much taller, gradually losing her childish cuteness.

She had experienced many things and was no longer as innocent and lovely as before.

"Remember my words, don't easily reveal your own abilities. Wait until the time is right before making any plans. Study the technique I gave you carefully, but don't open your dantian. After you turn fourteen, you will have a chance for immortality..."

"When I saw you that year, I felt joy. I give you a chance for fate, but we won't meet again. Don't miss me."

Chen Shen sighed one last time and then left, leaving Xiaoxiao alone in tears...

PS: I originally wanted to write three thousand characters, but when I reached one thousand five hundred, I overturned a point (related to Xiaoxiao's father) and deleted nine hundred. In the end, I could only do this. It might be a bit lacking, and I will probably start a new chapter tomorrow.
