Chapter 913: Cultivating the Saint Ascension Decipher
Translator: StarveCleric Editor: Millman97
Zhang Xuan didn't expect Mu shi to have such confidence in him .
A First Grade Origin Core was great, but if it would take him several years to do so, it was clearly not worth the effort .
For one, if he didn't become a 9-star master teacher before he reached 30, the Innate Fetal Poison would act up, and he would breathe his last breath . If so, what would be the point in cultivating a higher-grade Origin Core?
As such, despite how high of a regard Mu shi had for a First Grade Origin Core, he didn't have much of an interest in it . It would be best if he could obtain it, but if not, that was fine, too .
"Indeed . With talent like yours, you definitely stand a good chance . But of course, to succeed, you will need a fair bit of luck and aptitude too . " Mu shi's puppet nodded in response .
There were countless outstanding geniuses in the history of the Master Teacher Continent, but not a single one of them had successfully cultivated a First Grade Origin Core since Kong shi .
Talent was important, but luck and intelligence were vital as well .
"Luck is beyond our control, but there is a way to take a peek into one's intelligence . If you can learn the Saint Ascension Decipher and gather seven strands of zhenqi together without them collapsing within three days, there is a very good chance that you will advance beyond Advanced Second Grade Origin Core in the future . If you can't achieve this much, I will have to advise that you not take this route . "
"Seven strands of zhenqi…" Zhang Xuan muttered as he recalled what he had previously read in the Saint Ascension Decipher .
In truth, cultivating a Third Grade Origin Core could already be considered the limit of a Chrysalis realm cultivator's capability . Putting aside that cultivating anything beyond that was nigh impossible, even if a cultivator were to succeed in doing so, it was likely that their Origin Core could still collapse due to their inability to wield the power .
In view of this problem, the Saint Ascension Decipher worked in a manner that forcefully widened the window in which a cultivator could nurture their Origin Core from just Chrysalis realm to Half-Saint and Nascent Saint as well . In other words, as long as the cultivator hadn't made the breakthrough to Saint realm, they could continue to gather zhenqi into their Origin Core and strengthen it .
This was probably how Kong shi built an extremely powerful foundation, such that even the heavens acknowledged his existence when he made the breakthrough to Sainthood .
Usually, cultivating an Origin Core involved gathering one's zhenqi into a spherical shape and refining it bit by bit, turning it from a Pseudo Core to a Temporal Core, then to a Corporeal Core, and finally a Golden Core!
The seven strands of zhenqi that Mu shi's puppet had spoken of referred to the structure in crafting the Pseudo Core .
The essence of the Saint Ascension Decipher lay in gathering one's zhenqi in the form of threads and putting them together in a unique structure in order to construct an Origin Core .
To make an analogy, cultivating a normal Origin Core would be like building a house by stacking rocks together . It was easier and more convenient to build a house in such a manner, but it would be unstable and unaesthetic . What the Saint Ascension Decipher did was give a blueprint to the house so as to elevate the quality of the ultimate product .
In the Saint Ascension Decipher, seven strands of zhenqi put together was termed a knot . Using the prior analogy, these knots could be considered the bricks of the house . Once one was capable of building stable knots, one would be able to start accumulating them and begin building the structure .
The theory was simple, but the difficulty lay in condensing one's zhenqi into thin threads and constructing a structure with them without it dissipating .
Not only must one possess a strong soul, one's control over zhenqi must also reach an astounding level in order to succeed .
"Indeed . You should start reading now . As long as you can succeed within three days, I will impart my experiences and insights regarding the Saint Ascension Decipher to you . With those, at least the blind man I was back then, fumbling to search for a road, you should be able to avoid many detours, and that should save you many years!" Mu shi's puppet said .
"Reading… There is no need for that now . Are the seven strands of condensed zhenqi you speak of something like this?"
Zhang Xuan raised his finger, and with a light tap, a strand of zhenqi appeared in the air . Just as he was about to continue, he suddenly saw Mu shi's puppet staring at him with eyes widened in astonishment, seemingly on the verge of fainting .
With a quivering voice, Mu shi's puppet asked, "Y-you are… drawing zhenqi out of your body directly? And even maintaining fine control over it at that?"
"What is there to be shocked about? I was already able to do this shortly after I started cultivating, it really isn't a big deal…" Seeing the other party making a huge fuss out of the matter like a countryside bumpkin who hadn't seen the world, Zhang Xuan shook his head .
To think that he was the founder of the Master Teacher Academy at that, did he really need to be so surprised over something as elementary as this?
Drawing zhenqi out of one's body, it was not like that was anything difficult to do . Back when he had just started cultivating, he had already injected his zhenqi into the bodies of others to clear their meridian blockages . Manipulating them into fine threads, he could already do so when he was still at Fighter ream . If he couldn't do so as a Chrysalis realm cultivator, he really should just knock his head against a wall and die!
"Th-this…" Noticing the other party's disdainful gaze, Mu shi's puppet nearly spurted blood .
It was not difficult to draw zhenqi out of one's body, but to prevent it from dissipating and even control it finely to form thin threads, that was the difficult part . In order to achieve that, one would have to meet two fundamental prerequisites .
Firstly, one's zhenqi must be extremely pure, at least reaching superior quality!
Secondly, one's soul must be powerful enough to draw soul energy out of one's body . Otherwise, it was impossible for one to control one's zhenqi remotely .
It could be said that the young man's control over zhenqi had reached an unbelievable level . Even he wasn't capable of such a feat when he first reached Saint realm back then!
Just as he was shocked beyond words, he saw the young man before him continuing to tap his finger in the air .
Hu hu hu hu hu!
