I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 45: Prologue

"Hmm?!"

At the moment when the illusion of the Immortal Wood [Unburnt Wood] appeared, in a certain place in the Lingnan region, a middle-aged cultivator dressed in a green and red robe, with handsome features and an otherworldly temperament, slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes were deep and filled with a sense of age, and within his pitch-black pupils, there flickered a glimmer of light, as if burning flames.

A tremendous spiritual pressure emanated from his body, faintly causing the heavens and earth to resonate. This was the mark of a cultivator in the Gold Core stage.

And this person was currently the number one figure in the Lingnan cultivation world, the highest authority of the Azure Cloud Sect - Perfected Being Qingyang!

"The technique I left on the true disciples of the sect has been triggered? It's not a time of war now, and it's within the sect's territory. What kind of situation could cause this?" Perfected Being Qingyang furrowed his brows, but before he could think further, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards a nearby location.

Not far away, there was a valley. This valley was extremely unique, with one half lush and vibrant, emitting a thriving vitality, and various spiritual plants that could only grow in different environments were scattered on the slopes.

The other half, however, was desolate, filled with a sense of death, coldness, and gloom. There were scattered corpses, bones, and wandering lost souls drifting about.

Life and death were separated on both sides of this gorge, vividly displayed.

Boom!

At this moment, a rumbling sound came from within the gorge. Before long, a massive surge of spiritual energy rushed out from the valley, forming layers upon layers of spiritual energy waves in the sky above the gorge, resembling rolling waves in the sea.

Between the heavens and earth around, a sudden rain of spiritual energy poured down.

A glimmer flashed in Perfected Being Qingyang's eyes. With a wave of his hand, a large number of Five Elements Spirit Stones flew out from his sleeve. Under his control, they directly surged into the tide of spiritual energy.

Crack!

The Five Elements Spirit Stones shattered directly within the tide, releasing their respective Five Elements spiritual energy, which reacted with the tide of spiritual energy, forming unique spiritual objects.

There were items like the Qingmu Xuanyu, used for healing injuries, the Yan Yang Baoshi, suitable for Fire Spirit Root cultivators to cultivate, and the Guiyuan Ling Shui, which aided in breaking through the Foundation Building stage, and so on.

These spiritual treasures of the world, which would take at least ten or even a hundred years to nurture, had already taken shape within this tide in just a short moment!

A smile appeared on Perfected Being Qingyang's face as he raised his hand and stored these numerous spiritual objects in his storage bag.

Hmm?

Seemingly sensing something, Perfected Being Qingyang's gaze suddenly froze as he looked towards the west.

Woo~

At some unknown time, a strange cry suddenly resounded between the heavens and earth.

Looking up, one could see a mass of dark clouds rapidly flying towards the tide of spiritual energy.

But in Perfected Being Qingyang's eyes, this was not just any dark cloud, but a wave after wave of eerie and sinister ghost tide!

Headless ghosts, hanging ghosts, vomiting ghosts, swift ghosts, cat ghosts, fox ghosts, pipa ghosts, blood-sucking ghosts, disheveled ghosts, powerful ghosts, unicor

青阳 Perfected Being glanced at the other party without responding, but instead looked towards the valley in the midst of spiritual energy tides and storms, his eyes revealing a hint of seriousness.

"It seems that the power left behind by the two Heavenly Venerables in the valley has reached a critical moment..." thought Qingyang Perfected Being in his heart.

According to the records of the inheritance, the spiritual energy controlled by Soul Formation Heavenly Venerable already possesses the characteristic of "法有元灵" (the law has a primordial spirit).

"法有元灵" refers to the cultivator's own mana merging with their own will, possessing partial wisdom and spirituality.

Even though they have been dead for thousands of years, they can still automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth without external influence, which can be said to have the characteristic of immortality.

And the valley in front of them is the place where the two Soul Formation cultivators fell in their original bodies.

Although they died, the power they left behind inherited the will of the two cultivators and constantly struggled with each other.

Normally, the power of the two Soul Formation cultivators would be entangled in constant battles, making the valley appear calm.

But if the struggle reaches a critical moment and the wills remaining in their mana cancel each other out, then the mana controlled by the will of the Soul Formation cultivators will revert to high-level spiritual energy, forming a spiritual energy tide and giving birth to countless precious treasures.

These treasures range from the Qi Refining Stage to the Gold Core Stage, making them extremely important resources for the two major sects.

However, for Qingyang Perfected Being and the Old Demon Taiyin at the peak of the Gold Core Stage, these are just minor details. They are more concerned about the treasures born in the center of the valley and the spiritual energy tide.

The two forces left behind in the valley not only contain the residual will of the two cultivators, but also the Great Dao principles they comprehended.

When the wills of the two Soul Formation cultivators cancel each other out, the remaining Great Dao principles will, under the influence of heaven and earth, form an extremely precious treasure called the "悟道石" (Enlightenment Stone).

The function of the "悟道石" is simple: it increases the probability of a cultivator breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Qingyang and Taiyin, who both received guidance from Soul Formation cultivators, already have a 30% chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage. If they can obtain the "悟道石," that probability will increase to 80%.

Once someone among them obtains the Enlightenment Stone, they will have a great chance of breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage. The first one to break through will not only have a lifespan of three thousand years, but also gain control over the entire Lingnan region and have the opportunity to look forward to the path of Soul Formation.

Therefore, for Qingyang and Taiyin, this is not only a struggle between the two major sects they lead, but also a battle for the Great Dao between the two of them.

Therefore, neither side can retreat in any way, and based on this, the impact and conflicts that arise from it may very well ignite a war that will sweep across the entire Lingnan region in the near future.

"This battle is not only a battle for the Great Dao, but also concerns the life and death of my Azure Cloud Sect," Qingyang Perfected Being thought with a serious expression, countless thoughts flashing through his mind.

"But the Enlightenment Stone is deep inside the valley, and it is impossible to enter the valley covered by the power of the two Soul Formation cultivators under normal circumstances..."

"But there is still a chance. According to the records in the sect's classics, after the intense struggle between the two forces in the valley, there will be a period of decline. If several Gold Core cultivators join forces, perhaps they can send some Qi Refining Stage cultivators into the valley..."

Qingyang Perfected Being had countless thoughts in his mind, but his actions were not slow at all. Under his control, a large number of precious spiritual objects condensed in the midst of the spiritual energy tide.

...

Exhale...

After an unknown amount of time, a breeze blew, and a small butterfly flew over.

Its beautiful wings gently fluttered in the air, causing a breeze after breeze, while the surroundings remained calm.

Obviously, the spiritual energy tide had dissipated, and Qingyang and Taiyin had sneaked into the darkness, disappearing without a trace.

But as the tide subsided, the impact caused by the abnormality of the Soul Formation falling ground had just begun.
