CHAPTER 224: CHAPTER 223: NINTH TRANSFORMATION ACHIEVED! (THIRD UPDATE, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)

After another moment of conversation, Lu Xuanji left.

Before leaving, he left a jade scroll and ten grams of Immortal Gold on the table.

Cyan Lotus picked up the jade scroll, and with a glance of her Divine Thought, it shattered to nothingness after being read just once.

In the jade scroll was recorded the "Yin Yang Sword Scripture," a total of nine volumes, with a more complete version and more perfected content. The principles and spells contained within it were more profound, beyond description.

Yet, when she wished to speak, the words would not come; when she wanted to write, the paper would not hold the words.

Even when a high-level cultivator attempted a soul search on her, they could not obtain any information related to the "Yin Yang Sword Scripture"; the result of the soul search was a blank slate, with twisted and altered cause and effect preventing any discovery, making the scripture unspeakable, indescribable, and unknowable.

"This is the ’Yin Yang Sword Scripture,’ not the ’Yin Yang Sword Technique...’ "

Comparing the two cultivation techniques, Cyan Lotus suddenly remembered some matters recorded by the ancestors.

Originally, when the "Sword Island Fragment" opened, the ancestor went there and found a piece of beast hide on the corpse of a Divinity Transformation cultivator, which recorded the "Yin Yang Sword Technique," totaling six volumes.

The Yin Yang Sword Technique thus became the Jin Family’s clan’s secret technique, which could be cultivated to the peak of Divinity Transformation.

When compared to the "Yin Yang Sword Scripture," in terms of profundity and understanding of the scripture, the "Yin Yang Sword Technique" was much abbreviated, like an abbreviated version, like a castrated version.

"If my guess is correct, that Divinity Transformation cultivator, after comprehending the Yin Yang Sword Scripture, constantly modified and re-cultivated it based on their understanding and insights, resulting in the Yin Yang Sword Technique. One is called a sword scripture, the other a sword technique; one is the scripture of an Immortal, the other of a Divinity Transformation, with the levels of intent therein being clearly distinguishable!"

Wisdom flashed in Cyan Lotus’s eyes as she analyzed the two scriptures.

Scriptures are not always better for being higher grade, for this increases the difficulty of comprehension, as well as the requirements for physique and enlightenment.

When cultivators practice the techniques of predecessors, it’s impossible to completely follow their path; instead, they must modify them to suit themselves. The best cultivation technique, the strongest cultivation technique, is not as good as the most suitable one.

The modified Yin Yang Sword Technique was most suitable for that Divinity Transformation cultivator.

But correspondingly, it was not suitable for her.

Just like rabbits like to eat carrots, but tigers do not like to eat carrots.

Now that the original "Yin Yang Sword Scripture" was in hand, she could not entirely copy the scripture for cultivation, but it broadened her vision, expanded her horizon, and allowed her to forge her unique path.

At present, it has little impact, but it will have far-reaching effects after stepping into the Nascent Soul realm.

Restraining her thoughts, she looked at a porcelain bottle.

Inside were ten grams of Immortal Gold.

Classified as Dao Tribulation Immortal Gold.

To break through to the Nine Transformation Golden Core, one must consume Immortal Gold, indirectly proving some of her thoughts.

Historically, the Jin Family birthed many geniuses whose aptitude, enlightenment, fortuitous encounters, mental realm, and willpower were no less than Jin Xi’s, yet they all failed at breaking through to the Nine Transformation Golden Core.

At that time, it was not understood why, but now it was clear they lacked Immortal Gold.

One gram of Immortal Gold could ruin a Divinity Transformation’s entire family fortune.

Even having money, without a channel, one cannot purchase Immortal Gold.

"Lu Xuanji’s entrance into the ’Sword Island Fragment’ indeed garnered him great fortune. He had not just ten grams of Immortal Gold on him, but more, and more fortuitous encounters... his encounters are substantial... If I acted against him, those encounters would be mine!"

Thinking of the Yin Yang Sword Scripture and the ten grams of Immortal Gold, Cyan Lotus seemed to think of something, her eyes turning blood-red as if on the verge of madness.

Her body was itching to move, wanting to kill and seize the treasures.

If only she killed him, everything would be hers.

Bam!

Cyan Lotus struck her chest with a palm, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, her blood-red eyes clearing up.

"How could I, Cyan Lotus, be an ungrateful wretch!"

Cyan Lotus suppressed her agitation, urging the Wisdom Sword to cut off the evil thoughts in her heart.

One may become bad and unscrupulous, but there must be a bottom line. Without a bottom line, what’s the difference from beasts?

Spending three days, she suppressed the agitation in her heart.

Cyan Lotus began to cultivate in seclusion.

With Jin Xi’s reference and the aid of Immortal Gold, after refining three grams of Immortal Gold, her whole body’s aura surged, and then subsided, turning into a calm appearance.

The Ninth Transformation was achieved.

Afterward, she arrived before her original body again.

The original body was asleep, unable to refine Immortal Gold, having fallen into a slumber.

Cyan Lotus transformed into a stream of light, merging with the original body, beginning to manipulate the original body’s form, refining Immortal Gold. This time, it took just one day to refine five grams of Immortal Gold, and the original body also advanced to the Ninth Transformation.

"The Ninth Transformation is done!"

Opening her eyes and feeling the changes in her body, Jin Xi joyously remarked.

In the next moment, a cyan light flashed, Cyan Lotus split from the original body once more, transforming into a separate entity, feeling the changes in the original body, Cyan Lotus said jealously: "The original body is indeed the original body, both in potential and combat power, far above my clone."

"You silly girl, jealous of yourself, is that funny?"

Jin Xi laughed.

The two were originally one, inseparable.

In ordinary times, they could split to act independently, each with their own thoughts, but essentially, they were one person, except the original Jin Xi tended towards emotion, and the Cyan Lotus clone tended towards rationality.

"Two grams of Immortal Gold are left; shall we integrate them into the Yin Yang Sword?"

Cyan Lotus suggested.

"Naturally, after integrating Immortal Gold, the Lifebound Treasure’s quality and grade will greatly improve!" Jin Xi nodded, saying, "Yet, a gift of ten grams of Immortal Gold, rather large. In the peak times of the Jin Family, if a cultivator took ten grams of Immortal Gold to the Jin Family to propose to me, the Clan Leader would surely agree to the marriage."

"Though my aptitude is outstanding, with considerable talent, and my appearance is quite attractive, I am not as precious as ten grams of Immortal Gold!"

"Why not offer yourself in marriage?"

Cyan Lotus sneered.

"If I were still the young girl of the past, even becoming his Dao Companion would be plausible. But with the Jin Family’s vendetta unavenged, what right do I have to speak of love, of the entanglement between men and women?" Jin Xi suppressed her emotions, her stern eyes flashing a hint of determination and boldness: "I can only let him down!"

"How about your cultivation?"

Cyan Lotus changed the topic of conversation.

"During the Seventh Transformation, I was only comparable to thirty percent of a Nascent Soul cultivator; at the Eighth Transformation, I achieved half a Nascent Soul cultivation; at the Ninth Transformation, I am comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator." Jin Xi proudly stated, "At this moment, meeting a Nascent Soul cultivator, who is strong and who is weak still needs to be fought out. But the cost is, I feel the Golden Core is solid as a rock, entirely unable to shatter the core to produce the Nascent Soul."

"Originally, my chance of advancing to the Nascent Soul was seventy percent, but now it has dropped to less than ten percent."
