CHAPTER 349: CHAPTER 95 PRIMORDIAL NASCENT SOUL ANCESTOR RETURNING SCRIPTURE

Li Mo gazed at the wellhead for a long time, the backs of those few Poison Beasts, the population at least over a hundred thousand.

Logically speaking, the scale of each Qinghong Workshop is now extraordinary, yet it has not drawn any reaction from the Taoist and Demon sides, which is somewhat peculiar.

"Doesn’t matter, first ascend to the Nascent Soul Stage, then master the Nascent Soul Techniques of the Chaos Beast Infant, and even against Nascent Soul Perfection can remain at ease."

Li Mo glanced over the Sky-reaching Tree; Han Cai has already shut himself away for Breaking the Golden Core and becoming an Infant, while Huangmu Daoist still remains stuck at the bottleneck of the Dan Formation Stage.

"Huangmu."

"Predecessor Qing Mountain, please speak."

"You are only half a step away from the Nascent Crying Stage, remember not to rush and attract a Heart Demon."

Li Mo casually tossed a dried Bodhi Fruit to Huangmu Daoist, of which over ninety percent of the medicinal power had already been absorbed by him, leaving only the effect of stabilizing mental realm after consumption.

"If a Heart Demon enters your body, this fruit might save your life."

"Disciple thanks Predecessor Qing Mountain." Huangmu Daoist solemnly performed a disciple salute.

Li Mo nodded slightly.

Currently, due to the relationship with Poison Clothes Qinghong Workshop, the Heart Beast Sect has already been exposed to numerous forces, and future troubles will only emerge endlessly.

Li Mo lacks the cultivation techniques needed to further progress, and inevitably will need to engage with larger sects, unable to ensure the safety of the Heart Beast Sect.

The capability of both reaching the Nascent Soul Stage is crucial.

Li Mo is not worried about Han Cai, the latter belongs to the experienced Jianghu, knowing how to weigh options.

Even if Han Cai fails to ascend, he will timely cut his losses, at most injuring his foundation.

Huangmu Daoist’s character is reckless, carrying the immense expectations of the Heart Beast Sect, inevitably charging blindly down one path, likely leading to death and Dao disappearance upon failure.

Li Mo began to arrange the Spirit Gathering Array, while the Salamander curiously looked on.

The Sky-reaching Tree itself has the wondrous use of absorbing and emitting spiritual energy, so he directly used the Sky-reaching Tree as the Array Eye, inscribing patterns on the surface of its roots and stems.

In a few breaths, the spiritual energy within a hundred meters around the Sky-reaching Tree became dense.

"Ah."

The Salamander seemed to develop an interest in the Array Tao, nudging Li Mo’s right leg with its small head.

"Hm, if you learn array techniques, your offensive methods will be more diverse."

Li Mo transmitted information about Mid to Lower Grade arrays related to Wood Element to the Salamander, lacking time to teach the little creature, he could only let it explore on its own.

After instructing the Salamander a few words, Li Mo returned to the area shrouded by Gang Wind.

Huangmu Daoist also began his seclusion.

Li Mo had not walked a few meters before the Soul-devouring Demon Infant became restless, a babbling infant’s murmur sounded in his ears.

"I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush."

Actually, compared to cultivators of the same realm, Li Mo’s Nascent Soul is already considered docile, and the Soul-devouring Demon Infant soon calmed down as well.

Li Mo continued to channel resources into the temple, the Soul-devouring Demon Infant’s form growing more and more massive.

The Soul-devouring Demon Infant sucked on its arm, appearing like the foolish son of a wealthy family, mystical symbols emerging on its skin.

The Nascent Soul Stage represents "Five Organ Qi generates Five Qi."

It is the process where the Nascent Soul officially begins the transformation into the Externalized Dharma Body, internal organs will manifest, and a slight error can lead to counterattacking the main body.

Li Mo does not need to worry about backlash, but he is also afraid the Soul-devouring Demon Infant will affect his breakthrough in realm.

The Great Sun Spiritual Power flowed into the temple, transforming into a miniature sun within the dantian, the emitted Buddha Light stabilizing the emotions of the Soul-devouring Demon Infant.

The Soul-devouring Demon Infant’s efficiency in absorbing Turbid Blood Spirit Qi also increased.

Li Mo fell into the monotonous task of transporting spiritual energy.

Time passed by.

Huangmu Daoist ascended to the Nascent Crying Stage two years later, during which Han Cai briefly woke up, gifting some resources to the former.

As the Nascent Crying Stage is the Perfection of Core Formation Stage, it mainly involves refining oneself.

As for how long one has to refine, it varies from person to person. If one is confident, newly ascending to the Nascent Crying Stage can attempt Breaking the Golden Core and becoming an Infant.

Although Li Mo did not limit the time, both Han Cai were aiming for a thirty-year term.

They only hoped to break through before the Toad Poison Beast reaches Blessed Land Cave Heaven, even if they failed, it would not affect the sect’s advances and retreats.

Han Cai, at the ten-year mark, started attempting Breaking the Golden Core and becoming an Infant without hesitation.

In a sense, a Low-grade Golden Core due to the surface being covered in cracks, has a far lower difficulty in Breaking the Golden Core and becoming an Infant than a High Grade Golden Core.

The primary concern is whether the Nascent Soul can successfully be born from it.

Li Mo put a part of his consciousness towards Han Cai, discovering that the latter’s breakthrough was organized, even deliberately using surgery to adjust his bodily structure.

"The older generation of Beast Cultivators perhaps had lower-grade Golden Cores, but their talent was not lacking, unfortunately lacking spell inheritance and resources back then."

Li Mo’s heart stirred, and over a dozen White Bone Spiders burrowed into Han Cai’s mouth and nose.

After the White Bone Treasure Body devoured a massive amount of human brains, not only did the number of spirit patterns increase, but the spiritual wisdom of the White Bone Spiders significantly improved too.

Li Mo did not need to control the White Bone Spiders, allowing them to independently assist Han Cai.

Of course, the White Bone Spiders only aided Han Cai, as Han Cai was very familiar with his structure, knowing how to utilize Medical Skills.

Li Mo also detected the opportunity for the Soul-devouring Demon Infant’s ascension, a breakthrough within ten years was no problem.

The Nascent Soul Technique deduced by Xia Dao Palace also yielded some results.

Out of the ten Dao Unions, four stood out, while the directions of the rest of the deductions were evidently flawed, leading the Nascent Soul cultivators stationed there to repeatedly experience Deviation.

The probable directions for creating Nascent Soul Techniques were as follows:

[Original]: Chaos Beast Infant seeks to transform into the ancestor of birds and beasts.

[Hundred Beasts]: Chaos Beast Infant can simulate the birds and beasts of the world.

[Beast Ancestor]: Chaos Beast Infant can continuously nurture the offspring of birds and beasts.

[Half-human]: Chaos Beast Infant sheds the complete beast form, possessing human features, making it more suitable for cultivation.

Li Mo drove the Spirit Root Worm, channeling the failed forces under the four Dao Unions.

Unknowingly, the Xia Dao Palace already had eighty thousand adherents, the speed of deductions growing increasingly intense, the sounds of chanting various spells deafening.

Within a mere hundred days, at the cost of two Nascent Soul cultivators experiencing Deviation seventy-six times, the deduced direction of [Half-human] was declared a dead end.

A Chaos Beast cultivates naturally focusing on beast form, indeed a fact to be expected.

Li Mo hesitated for a long time, then proactively abandoned [Beast Ancestor].

He had his own Corpse Mountain Mini World, capable of breeding beast herds, but Li Mo already had Tattooed Beasts, along with hundreds of thousands of Plant and Tree Cultivators.

He simply did not have the energy to nurture beast herds.

Furthermore, if the Chaos Beast Infant transformed into a Beast Ancestor, it would undoubtedly affect the ability of Tattoo Beastification, which was currently the most critical means.

Li Mo waited for another half a year, both [Hundred Beasts] and [Original] showed considerable feasibility.

However, when compared to Original, Hundred Beasts fell into the Lower Level at once, simulating birds and beasts could never match up to the bloodline ancestors, the difference being as vast as heaven and earth.

Once Li Mo determined the direction, Xia Dao Palace immediately invested in the framework for creating spells.

Eighty thousand Xia Dao practitioners labored for another three years, at the cost of Nascent Soul cultivators dying over a thousand times, groping out the entry content of the Nascent Soul Techniques.

Li Mo cast the Mayfly Dream, by the Fake Soul Consciousness taking over the tasks of Xia Dao Palace.

Xia Dao Palace did not remain idle, since the spells of Chaos Beast Infant had been deduced, the focus turned towards spells of the Soul-devouring Demon Infant.

The Spirit Root Worm exerted influence.

The imagery of Xia Dao Palace suddenly changed, originally a Taoist sect focused on breeding spirit beasts, suddenly transformed into a Devil Sect consuming human flesh.

Li Mo observed the mutual slaughter in Xia Dao Palace, anyway, the Xia Dao practitioners would not all die, the illusion realm of the Devil Sect seemed more fitting for the Taoist Sect.

The time available for the existence of the Fake Soul Consciousness extended another few years.

After fifty-three years, the Fake Soul Consciousness finally collapsed into nothingness, a vast amount of information on Nascent Soul Techniques surged into Li Mo’s memory.

[Primordial Nascent Soul Ancestor Returning Scripture]

The Fake Soul Consciousness focused on deducing the foundational content of the Primordial Nascent Soul Ancestor Returning Scripture, which was already more than sufficient for Li Mo, given that once mastering the Chaos Beast Infant, the Tao Seed could autonomously refine it.

"This spell’s modifications on the Nascent Soul are truly complex."

Li Mo appeared slightly abashed.

As his medical skills improved, the deduced spells grew increasingly bizarre, even if presented to the current world, others would merely consider them concoctions of fantasy.

Primordial Nascent Soul Ancestor Returning Scripture actually required the surgical alteration of the Nascent Soul’s body, placing it in a half-alive and half-dead state.

The Heart Blood of numerous Tattooed Beasts would prompt the Chaos Beast Infant into active dormancy.

Metamorphosing into a beast embryo.

Once the Beast Embryo is rehatched, it signifies the mastery of the Primordial Nascent Soul Ancestor Returning Scripture.

Subsequent Chaos Nascent Souls still need to devour the essence blood of birds and beasts, the more types involved, the deeper the foundation of the Nascent Soul.

Subtle changes would also appear in its external form.

While the Soul-devouring Demon Infant had yet to touch a bottleneck, Li Mo hurriedly prepared the Nascent Soul Techniques.

Hundreds of White Bone Spiders crawled into the Multiple Dantians, rapidly weaving dense spider webs, suspending the Chaos Beast Infant in the center.

The Chaos Beast Infant made no resistance, allowing the White Bone Spiders to reinforce the web.

"Whew..."

"Mustn’t slip, the state of near-death for the Chaos Beast Infant can last no more than half a day, once prolonged, the innate instinct of the Nascent Soul would attempt to recover the injuries."

Li Mo’s expression was tense, but once the surgery began, his mind became calm as still water.

The main challenge of the surgery lay with the Chaos Beast Infant, whose form constantly shifted, indicating an inherent instability in its bodily structure.

Li Mo had no time to think, ensuring accuracy was paramount but needed to be swift.

The sharp limbs of each White Bone Spider sliced across the Chaos Beast Infant, the Mist Fog Spiritual Power within the Multiple Dantians roiling uncontrollably.

The Tattooed Beasts sensed the changes of the Chaos Beast Infant, voluntarily offering their essence blood.

Li Mo guided the gem-like essence blood to the Multiple Dantians, also commanding nearly a thousand White Bone Spiders to conduct the surgery.

Who would have expected that a necessary condition of a Nascent Soul Technique was:

Juggling a thousand tasks concurrently!

"Now..."

The essence blood of the Tattooed Beasts merged into the four limbs, shoulders, and chest of the Chaos Beast Infant.

The Chaos Beast Infant curled up, countless blood threads secreted from its wounds, quickly enclosing the Nascent Soul within, forming a beast embryo.

Li Mo did not stop the surgery, it was not yet the end.

The Tao Seed refined the Primordial Nascent Soul Ancestor Returning Scripture.

Li Mo, using the flawless spell, surgically influenced the gestation of the beast embryo, mainly adjusting the position of the Nascent Soul’s bloodline and meridians.

The surgery took a hundred days to complete, even causing Li Mo to nearly collapse from exhaustion.

He could not help but close his eyes to nourish his spirit, an aura of Breaking the Golden Core and becoming an Infant emanated from Huangmu Daoist, resonating with Han Cai under the same Sky-reaching Tree.

The Soul-devouring Demon Infant seemed stimulated, more vigorously absorbing spiritual energy.

Boom.

Phenomena accompanied the three’s birth.

Above Han Cai’s head was an indescribable form, half-human, half-spider; behind Huangmu Daoist a phantom of the mountain lord was revealed; around Li Mo the Gang Wind collapsed.

The forces of Qinghong Workshop at the wellhead noticed the Toad Poison Beast one after another.
