Longevity starts from having a daughter in old age

Chapter 492: Chapter 459 Initial_1

“Since you’re so confident, let’s compete then, limited to ten years! Whoever cultivates faster will take the lead, and the other must fully assist!” Xu Mu said.

“Deal! Just one more request!” Lu Jingkong eagerly replied.

She had initially thought Xu Mu would refuse outright because he held too many advantages.

Of course, even if Xu Mu refused, she would still secretly continue her cultivation and even purposely cause trouble to hinder him.

After all, no one wishes to hand their life completely over to someone else.

If Xu Mu’s divine cultivation reached completion, she would have no power to fight back and could only be at his mercy.

Yet unexpectedly, Xu Mu agreed on the spot without hesitation.

“Friend Lu, aren’t you asking a bit too much?” Xu Mu answered with a smile.

“You at least have to teach me your cultivation method!” Lu Jingkong replied helplessly.

“…”

Xu Mu was speechless.

This woman was clearly pushing her luck.

Well, if that’s the case, then let her lose convincingly and also take this opportunity to gain some benefits.

“If I give you the cultivation method, what advantage would I have? Although I always play fair, I can teach you my method, but you’ll need to pay some price,” Xu Mu replied cheerfully.

“What price?”

Lu Jingkong frowned slightly.

She knew her request was a bit excessive, but without a systematic cultivation method, it would be challenging to surpass Xu Mu regardless of her determination.

“That would be…”

Xu Mu used the blood-essence sound transmission skill.

Yue didn’t know what Xu Mu and Lu Jingkong said, but she did see Lu Jingkong’s face blush slightly.

You can only imagine what was said to make a person who has lived for thousands of years and has a mind as steady as a rock blush.

However, Yue, being a child, found the situation odd but could not guess why.

“Are you taking advantage of me?”

This time, it was Lu Jingkong who admonished Xu Mu.

“I’m just considering our mutual benefits. If you’re not willing, then forget it, there’s no need to discuss cultivation methods.” Xu Mu remained relaxed, as though those offensive words were not his own.

Lu Jingkong gritted her teeth but was helpless.

It’s been said that her physical body was possessed by Xu Mu for a long time, but that was only a physical body. If her soul was now part of this agreement, wouldn’t she be entirely…

However, without the cultivation method, she would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage trying to infer her own from Xu Mu.

Screw it, if you want it, I’ll give it to you.

This isn’t the Cultivation Realm, do you think you can control me through Yin and Yang Harmony?

After weighing the options, Lu Jingkong agreed to Xu Mu’s proposition.

The main reason for her decision was that she had experienced it once before, although that was just with her physical body. Having a second round wouldn’t put her at a substantial loss.

As Xu Mu said, if they could communicate more deeply, it would indeed be more beneficial for their future cultivation.

Of course, she had no other options, or she felt that she must have stronger skills.

“Since it’s decided, let’s get started.”

Xu Mu was not doing this for enjoyment. When he could acquire Luck Value from his clan, he stopped pursuing such low-level means. Besides wanting to influence Lu Jingkong using this method, he also wanted to see if he could restore his cultivation in a non-traditional way.

After all, the Yin and Yang Harmony method he obtained previously had proven to be incredibly effective.

If the Twelve Startle Cicada Skill could work, then the Yin and Yang Harmony was also worth a try.

For him, there was not much loss if he failed.

Now, Xu Mu, Lu Jingkong, and Yue were the most potent forces on the continent – their decisions were enough to shape the destiny of this land.

As Xu Mu and Lu Jingkong made their agreement, the whole continent began to experience unprecedented changes.

…

The Divine cultivation realm is divided into Wandering God (Qi Cultivation), Lower Deity (Foundation Establishment), Intermediary Deity (Golden Pill), Upper-ranked God (Nascent Soul), Heavenly Deity (Divinity Transformation), Sovereign God (Refining Void), Primal God (Dao Fusion), Heavenly Sovereign (Mahayana), and Grand Sovereign (True Immortal).

The Grand Sovereign is the ultimate realm in Divine Cultivation, a state no deity has reached since their existence.

Perhaps it was for this reason that the Divine Cultivation ended up being eliminated.

But Divine Cultivation wasn’t all about disadvantages; it also had its merits, one of which was a big weakness.

Upon embarking on the path of Divine Cultivation, one could gain eternal life.

Because of this, even in the absence of a True Immortal, Divine Cultivation could persist for a million years.

Perhaps because of this, despite developing for a million years, the Divine Cultivation realm never saw a Grand Sovereign emerge.

Blessed with immortality, they felt no pressure, each one guarding their own territory and living leisurely lives.

Without pressure, there was no motivation, and thus their progress was obviously slow.

It was due to this immortality that the number of divine beings kept increasing while resources remained limited.

As the deities refused to strive for improvement and were unwilling to compete, they began to exploit ordinary people to access more resources.

The exploitation was usually carried out by Lower Deities, mostly because Upper Deities had no need for it.

With exploitation, naturally came resistance, which laid the foundation for the rise of the Path of Immortality.

Of course, right now, these issues weren’t of much concern to the two of them.

According to the realm classification, once they could reach the level of Heavenly Deity, they could attempt to refine the Sky-splitting Halberd.

Although both of them were uncertain whether the Divine Cultivation method could refine the Sky-splitting Halberd, they had no choice but to attempt it first.

They hoped there might be another way when it came down to it.

If this didn’t work, they could continue the cultivation until the Sovereign God realm.

By then, it wouldn’t matter whether they had the Sky-splitting Halberd or not.

After Xu Mu handed over the cultivation method and they co-studied it for some time, they set about constructing a temple, building their divine statues.

In doing so, Xu Mu deliberately kept a plan B. He didn’t use his Lifebound soul as a foundation but used a spell to split a strand of soul to replace him.

Ordinarily, this method wouldn’t work. Although he could split a soul through his blood and use a spell, he couldn’t grow a new body in this world.

However, all these issues were perfectly solved due to the uniqueness of Divine Cultivation.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He directly attached the split soul to the divine statue that was fused with his flesh and blood.

Even though he successfully created a clone that could cultivate Divine Cultivation, there was still a significant problem.

That was the mind, the foundation of Divine Cultivation.

A fragmented soul was doomed to have flaws in its mindset.

Even if Xu Mu utilized the system to enhance the realm of cultivation, it would be hard to make up for this deficiency.

Divine Cultivation differed from Immortal Cultivation. In Immortal Cultivation, one only encounters Heart Demon Tribulation at the Nascent Soul Stage, while in Divine Cultivation, one constantly experiences erosion by complicated thoughts. If the soul isn’t flawless, it’s easy to fall into the Demonic Dao.

To make up for this significant flaw, he made a decision that went against his initial intention for cultivation – he totally erased all the emotions within the split soul, treating it as an emotionless machine.
