Chapter 668: Chapter 434: Innate Dao Body, The World Reverts to the Flow
The ability of the River Diagram replication is considered a heaven-defying ability in the early stages of cultivation.
However, for those in the Divinity Transformation stage, this River Map talent is not as beneficial.
Because ordinary talents offer little assistance to the cultivation of a Divinity Transformation cultivator.
Have you not witnessed countless peerless geniuses, who gained their enlightenment in Divinity Transformation amidst millions, exhaust their cultivation at the early stage of Divinity Transformation?
Therefore, Zhong Heng usually chooses talents that can complement his weaknesses or top-level insights to help him comprehend the Sea-Stabilizing Seal.
Zhong Heng vaguely senses that if he masters the Sea-Stabilizing Seal, there might be extra benefits.
Yet ever since Zhong Heng acquired it, despite day and night comprehensions, with prior success in entering the Great Achievement Realm of the River Map Celestial Derivation Divine Techniques, and three years of top-level insights bestowed by Immortal Venerable Huihuang, he is still unable to find a threshold.
Apart from progressing towards comprehending the Sea-Stabilizing Seal, Zhong Heng’s innate talents seem no match against the perfect Acquired Five Elements Spiritual Body he has cultivated for two thousand years.
After all, Zhong Heng’s Acquired Five Elements Spiritual Body even received assistance and empowerment from a nearly ancestral figure in the Five Elements path—the Peacock Great Saint.
He also gained relics from the Five Spirits Immortal Venerable, even incorporating five drops of Holy Beast bloodline into it, with countless resources invested daily.
This has perfected Zhong Heng’s Acquired Five Elements Spiritual Body, and naturally formed Innate Five Elements Spirit Bodies rarely surpass Zhong Heng’s physique.
However, the physique of the person before him is an exception.
Innate Dao Body.
A physique that almost never appears in the Cultivation World.
This physique has no showy abilities.
Just one trait.
Most suited for cultivation.
The Innate Dao Body is almost made for cultivating.
If the difficulty of an ordinary genius’s cultivation is thirty, then the difficulty of an Innate Dao Body’s cultivation is far less than one.
"It’s a pity about this child..."
Zhong Heng stood high above in the sky.
His Divine Sense unfolded, and the entire landscape of the Cultivation Realm below was presented before Zhong Heng’s eyes.
Zhong Heng could see a youth climbing a mountain peak.
The youth’s face was filled with determination, and he lacked the greenness and naivete.
Instead, a faint hint of wear and tear was present.
The youth traversed the ranges of the Five Mountains, visited famous rivers and large mountains.
Eventually, he sought out the Immortal Sect.
"Young man, you do not have the aptitude for cultivation, please return..."
A single sentence was like cold water poured over the youth.
The Sect Elder watching the youth also had a look of pity.
"You were supposed to have a destiny with our White Jade Tower."
"Since you believe in the Immortal Fate within the mundane world and heard of our White Jade Tower’s name."
"Having also passed the most difficult Dao Heart Test and spent seven years seeking Immortal Fate..."
"Even if you have Five Spirit Roots, you can still enter our Outer Sect as a disciple."
"And gain the qualification for cultivation..."
"It’s just a pity, you have no Spirit Root."
The Elder sighed, shaking his head.
Originally, he saw the spiritual aura surrounding this youth and thought his talent was not too bad.
At least he seemed to have a Spirit Root.
Without a Spirit Root, how could one get the spiritual aura to draw near?
Now it seems, he had miscalculated.
The youth perhaps consumed some heavenly or earthly treasure, which is why he had spiritual aura surrounding him.
The disciple beside the Elder also showed some regret, explaining softly what a Spirit Root was.
The youth was immediately disheartened.
For a long time, he barely managed to open his mouth and ask, "Immortal Master, is there any other Immortal Sect where I can cultivate..."
"There is none."
"Spirit Root is the foundation for cultivation, without it there’s no talk of cultivation."
"You foolish child, go down the mountain. I might place you in a mundane position for offerings, take this token and descend to learn some martial arts."
"Your future descendants, if born with Spirit Roots, may be sent to the Immortal Sect."
"By the way, what is your name?"
"Wei Xiao..."
White Jade Tower has always favored education without discrimination.
Its internal Heart Method emphasizes mind states.
No matter the identity or aptitude, as long as one passes the test, they can join the sect.
The Dao Heart Test is the most difficult challenge, and those who pass often possess the most steadfast hearts seeking the Dao.
For an ordinary person yet to practice cultivation to have a heart seeking the Dao is extremely rare.
The Elder watched Wei Xiao descending the mountain, not speaking.
However, neither this Elder from White Jade Tower nor the disciples around him noticed when an additional figure appeared beside them.
Completely unaware, the Elder started sharing with this person his years of attention and information about Wei Xiao.
He had no idea he didn’t even know the identity of the person next to him.
Zhong Heng listened to the Elder’s words thoughtfully.
At the same time, he also looked at the feedback from his River Map.
[Talent: Innate Dao Body, Imprinted, Duration: Two years]
Zhong Heng could feel changes happening within his body.
Spiritual Qi began to become incredibly harmonious with him.
The difficulties encountered in cultivating before now instantly vanished, just slight contemplation made him understand where his problems lay.
His meridians began to clear, though as a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, his meridians were already fully open, this change was not obvious at the moment.
If this happened to an ordinary person, the change would be significant.
Even so, Zhong Heng could still feel the immense transformation within himself.
His insight, foundation, and rate of cultivation all increased.
"Truly deserving of the Innate Dao Body..."
The Innate Dao Body, the physique most suited for cultivation.
Even within an entire region, one may not emerge within thousands of years.
