Savages

Chapter 89

The enemies of the Ancient Immortal Sect were all the cultivators in the cultivation world.

Did those cultivators regard the Dao Lord as a demonic being from outside the realm?

After returning from the simple church, everyone in the Ancient Immortal Sect understood their own situation.

Some were stunned, some were indignant, and some turned to start cultivating. Only no one was desperate.

The Dao Lord was their backing.

They lived without pain and died in a dream-like state.

Even in this underground cave where there was no distinction between day and night, they could still feel the love from the Dao Lord.

With power, food, and the hope of living and taking revenge, what else was there to be afraid of?

The only impact of this news was that all the believers of the Ancient Immortal Sect began to cultivate even more frantically.

Moreover, some believers began to choose to use the Living Flesh Technique to keep some of the embryos that were originally used to reclaim the spiritual fields for incense alive, allowing them to develop slowly, and preparing to breed the next generation.

Li Changmeng secretly watched all this. The reaction of the believers was within his expectation. Most of the people in the cave were fanatical believers, and their belief in the Dao Lord was beyond doubt.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye, and the population in the underground cave doubled.

Thanks to the Living Flesh Technique and the Divided Embryo Technique, the pain of ten months of pregnancy was eliminated, and reproduction became a very simple thing.

Li Changmeng also used this period of time to push his cultivation to the Core Formation realm.

The speed was very fast, much faster than when he reached the Core Formation realm last time. On the one hand, it was easier to reach a realm that he had once reached before. On the other hand, the method of cultivating with multiple avatars and then fusing them greatly increased the cultivation speed.

For Li Changmeng now, the speed of cultivation was no longer a limitation. What limited him was the realm.

After reaching the Core Formation realm, he had to start deducing how to cultivate next.

"There is a true core sealing the spiritual energy in my body. So what is the difference between the Core Formation realm and the Golden Core realm?"

During the cultivation process, Li Changmeng began to think.

In the Core Formation realm, the liquid spiritual power in a cultivator's body turns into a solid state and forms a core shape. For those who have the Dao, it is a true core, and for those who don't, it is a false core.

For example, Feng Qi in the past forced a breakthrough relying on the heart of the Purple Yang Tree, and the core he formed was a false core. He basically had no hope of reaching the Golden Core realm.

However, if one comprehends the Dao in the Foundation Establishment realm, uses the Dao as the foundation, and refines the jade liquid back into a core, the core formed is a true core. By continuing to cultivate, one can form a Golden Core.

But what was the difference between a Golden Core and a true core?

Looking inward at the round true core in his Dantian, Li Changmeng didn't know for the moment how to increase his cultivation and reach the Golden Core realm.

He had cultivated the Three Qi Harmony Art and had also read many other cultivation techniques that pointed directly to the Golden Core realm. Even after Yuhua controlled the entire Ten-City Alliance, he had read several cultivation techniques that led directly to the Void Refinement realm.

Because of his insufficient realm, the profound cultivation techniques were obscure and difficult to understand. But without exception, the process from the Core Formation realm to the Golden Core realm only had one step: refining the core.

This "refining the core" was not the same as an alchemist opening a furnace to refine pills. Instead, it was to use a specific method to wash the true core, making it purer and more solid, and the spiritual power would become more condensed.

In this way, Li Changmeng could naturally find a way to achieve it, but he didn't want to do it that way.

From the Core Formation realm to the Golden Core realm, from the initial stage to the peak of the entire realm, the strength would indeed increase, but not significantly. No matter how condensed the true core was, the increase in the capacity of spiritual power would not be much.

"I'm different from them. Only some of my avatars need to follow their path, but it's more important to find my own path."

Using the Endless Body Technique again, the avatar of the Lady Saint transferred most of her cultivation to a new avatar, leaving herself only at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

The new avatar was at the Core Formation realm.

"That's it. This avatar will go out with the Core Formation realm. Maybe it can find some inspiration."

Leaving behind the avatar of the Lady Saint, Li Changmeng came to the surface of the Mi Meng Great Marsh.

The blinding miasma was like nothing under the Hundred-Eye Divine Ability. Li Changmeng walked in another direction of the Tianxing Domain just like that.

There were five major domains in the cultivation world. South of the Tianxing Domain was the Nanguang Sea Area, and north of it was a large spiritless area. Crossing the spiritless area was the Shenguang Domain.

The Eternal God Domain and the Demon Domain were separately located in the Nanguang Sea Area and were another piece of land.

So, the purpose of Li Changmeng's trip was to cross the spiritless area all the way until he reached the Shenguang Domain.

It was a cultivation area as prosperous as the Tianxing Domain. Li Changmeng only had some understanding of it from various ancient books.

There was very little communication between different domains because it was too far away, and within one domain, it was enough for all forces to exchange what they needed.

"Outside the Mi Meng Great Marsh, there is actually such a primeval forest."

Because of the existence of the Mi Meng Great Marsh, the ordinary people outside the Tianxing Domain in the past basically established countries around the Tianxing Domain.

Unexpectedly, after crossing the Mi Meng Great Marsh, if this primeval forest were reclaimed, it would be very suitable for living.

However, Li Changmeng's trip was not to find a livable area. The believers of the Ancient Immortal Sect who could cultivate could now adapt to most harsh environments.

For cultivators, as long as they had spiritual power, they could maintain their life needs. So now the Ancient Immortal Sect could take root anywhere.

While walking through the primeval forest, Li Changmeng was also thinking about how to find his own cultivation path.

A roar sounded in the distance, with a cadence and a certain rhythm.

"Human?"

Although his train of thought was interrupted, Li Changmeng was not annoyed. Instead, he was curious about the source of the sound.

Following the sound, Li Changmeng came to an open area.

A group of humans with their upper bodies bare and tied with simple grass leaves were surrounding a beast-shaped sculpture, roaring and circling around it.

The savages wearing feathered crowns and with various colors smeared on their faces were dancing strange dances at the front.

"Savages, a sacrifice, primitive worship..."

With just one glance, Li Changmeng understood what was happening here. He just didn't expect that there were still savages in this forest.

Li Changmeng secretly mobilized his spiritual power, made an incense statue to replace the beast-shaped sculpture, and then created some strange noises and used the Growth Technique to stimulate the surrounding plants to grow wildly.

After all these operations, those savages were awed and all thought that a god had manifested.

Suddenly, Li Changmeng felt that the power of incense wishes began to be generated. These savages had already become his believers.

"It's better than nothing. Thinking about the next step all day long, doing something to relieve boredom makes me feel much better."

Looking at the savages worshipping the newly emerged incense statue, Li Changmeng also sighed. It was indeed easier to preach to simple creatures.

Anyway, the purpose of this trip was to find inspiration, so he simply decided to stay in this savage settlement for a while.

This group of savages was a tribe of about fifty or so. They lived in the primeval forest by eating fruits and hunting.

And among a kind of fruit that they often ate in their daily life, Li Changmeng found that the fruiting process was very similar to the process of forming a core.

"Growth Technique!"

With a flick of his finger, a seed in front of Li Changmeng began to germinate and grow.

At this time, Li Changmeng controlled the technique, and the growth speed of the plant slowed down. Buds gradually appeared one after another.
