Chapter 476 - Detecting Ones Root Of Immortality (1/2)
Chen Jin walked aimlessly in his search for signs of human habitation as he digested his inheritance.
The boundaries of inheritance were different from the divisions of the Protoss on Earth. The Jushen phase corresponded to the Merging period. The Jushen cultivation method of the Protoss was to condense the mind and the body so that the soul could better experience Heaven and Earth, thereby laying down the foundations of the law of enlightenment. basis. The Shenguang phase corresponded to the pinnacle of the Merging phase–the half-step Mahayana. As the saying went, as long as one’s spiritual light was not extinguished, his immortal power would never end. During the Shenguang phase was an important phase whereby the magic power in one’s body was transformed into an immortal’s power. When the body’s magic power had been completely transformed into immortal power, one would enter the Sage phase (Mahayana). With the law of enlightenment gained during the Mahayana phase and after one had fully adjusted to the immortal power in one’s body, one could start his Tribulations Survival (Dujie) to become an immortal. Therefore, after Chen Jin had been through a physical metamorphosis and fully transformed the magic power in his body into immortal power, he naturally advanced to the Mahayana.
“So the ‘Emperor’s Scripture’ is only a basic cultivation method. Fortunately, the inheritance allowed me to directly understand the meaning. If it was conveyed through words. I really wouldn’t be able to understand anything,” Chen Jin could not help but shake his head and smile bitterly. “It seems that I can only be an illiterate person in the immortal world.”
As Chen Jin absorbed the inheritance in his mind, a youth in traditional Chinese attire walked straight towards him. The young man was still a distance away but his voice had already reached Chen Jin’s ear. “Fellow Brother, are you also going to participate in the entrance examination by the Xintan Sect?” Chen Jin was over two hundred years old, however, after his metamorphosis, his appearance had returned to how it was when he was seventeen or eighteen years old. Because the magic power in his body had all been transformed into immortal power, cultivators who were at an equal or lower realm than Chen Jin would not be able to discern his cultivation level.
When Chen Jin heard the voice, he could not help but draw a blank. Oh no, what is he saying? He couldn’t understand a word. He could not even understand the language and script of the Immortal World, how could he communicate with other people?
As Chen Jin was pondering this issue, the youth had already arrived in front of him. There was no way they could communicate by simply staring at each other. After a while, the youth seemed to have realized something, he retrieved a rolled-up scroll made with strips of jade. Although it was only a slight casting, the youth’s forehead was covered in a sheen of sweat. He then raised his hand and pointed to Chen Jin’s forehead. To Chen Jin’s surprise, a segment of information was transmitted into his mind. Chen Jin tidied up the information in his mind and discovered that the information transmitted was the language and script of the Immortal World. Naturally, it was not difficult for Chen Jin to master this language since he already had a smart chip implanted in himself.
“Much thanks, fellow brother. I am Chen Jin, and you are?” Chen Jin said. Although he said it very awkwardly, at least he had learned the language of the Immortal World.
The young man could not help but become speechless. Even a spiritual master would need the time that it took an incense stick to burn down (about 30 minutes) to fully process and accept such a huge amount of information. This guy appeared to be on the same level of cultivation as him, but he had learned and mastered the information in a short period. He was a freak.
The youth quickly said, “I am Fang Bin, are you going to participate in the entrance exam of the Xintan Sect?”
“Entry exam? What is that?”
“It seems that you are not going to participate,” The youth was slightly disappointed. He said, “The entrance exam is for those who want to join the sects and become their disciple. But the sects don’t just accept anyone, hence the entry exam. For those like me who have just joined the cultivation-immortal world, it is better to conduct my studies within the system of the sects than to be self-taught.” The young man’s words ended. Chen Jin’s eyes grew brighter. Of course, it was better to join the sects if he wanted to know more about the immortal world.
“That’s good too, I want to join a sect as well. May I request my fellow friend to bring me along for the application.”
