Chapter 551 - 536: To Achieve Divinity Transformation, One Must First Undergo Mortal Transformation (First Release, Please Subscribe)
After the pleasure, the two entered sage time.
Jin Xi said, "Xuanji, by now you have completely surpassed me!"
Saying this, she felt slightly lost.
During their dual cultivation moment earlier, the two of them intimately connected, familiarizing themselves with each other’s conditions.
In Jin Xi’s perception, Lu Xuanji’s realm was merely in the eighth layer of Nascent Soul, yet his qi and blood were powerful, his magical power was robust, and his divine techniques were strong, not inferior to Divinity Transformation.
The only difference was the realm.
Divinity Transformation, for other cultivators, was almost as difficult as ascending to heaven.
But to him, it was as smooth as breaking into Golden Core in the past, virtually without any bottleneck.
Recalling the past, she was a Golden Core Ancestor, with a high status; but Xuanji was just a Foundation Establishment junior, with a lowly status.
Later, their relationship grew closer, gradually becoming Dao Companions, and she became his guardian, shielding him from some hardships, and from some hidden dangers.
The time spent together was so long, it had already been a thousand years.
Now, a thousand years later, Lu Xuanji had completely surpassed her, and instead, this guardian of his had fallen behind, needing protection by her husband.
Thinking about the change in their status, Jin Xi felt slightly lost.
"Xi’Er, from now on I’ll protect you!"
Lu Xuanji stepped forward and gave her a kiss, saying, "I’ll take you to soar to immortality!"
"Xuanji, I feel so useless!" Jin Xi said, leaning forward for a moment, "You’ve done so much for me, but I still have a long way to Divinity Transformation!"
"Achieving Divinity Transformation is inherently difficult. Chu Country now only has six, and Hundred Thousand Mountains aren’t many!" Lu Xuanji said, "Failing several times is normal, but I feel you’re a bit impatient, which isn’t good. Cultivation emphasizes going with the flow, success will naturally follow!"
Jin Xi said, "With strong enemies outside, how can we go with the flow, how can we be complacent?"
After a pause, she asked, "What should I do?"
"Do nothing, think nothing, I’ll take you to do, I’ll take you to think!" Lu Xuanji said, "Cultivation is just a means to protect oneself, not the purpose. Recently, I’ll take you to wander the Mortal World, to relax and enjoy the pleasures of human life."
"Alright!"
Jin Xi nodded.
"More haste, less speed!" Lu Xuanji said, "I’ve been busy with blood combat recently, and haven’t spent time with you for a long time, some memories have become vague."
Jin Xi’s failure to prove Divinity Transformation wasn’t due to lack of talent or luck, but because she was too impatient and lost her usual mind.
This was mainly due to two reasons: one was the quick progress of Qinglian proving Divinity Transformation, which made Jin Xi feel stressed; the other was her Dao Companion, who was also about to prove Divinity Transformation, progressing rapidly, which further unbalanced Jin Xi’s mentality.
With those close to her progressing rapidly, Jin Xi, who had always been proud, couldn’t bear to fall behind, becoming more and more eager to progress and catch up quickly.
But often, the more impatient you are, the more you want to catch up, the more likely things will go wrong.
Now, the main focus should be on slowing down the mindset.
...
After instructing a few Nascent Soul Cultivators of the Lu Family, Lu Xuanji and Jin Xi disappeared together.
Concealing most of their aura, only manifesting Foundation Establishment Cultivation, like mortals, they walked in the Mortal World.
At this moment, Chu Country was much more peaceful.
The Demon Race no longer invaded, many Human Race Cultivators were busy in seclusion, many families lost the desire to compete, living relatively quietly, the world falling into a rare peace.
As peace arrived, the lower level civilians and the lower level cultivators entered a relatively comfortable state.
After traveling for a month, Lu Xuanji tasted delicious food, enjoyed roadside scenery, boated and traveled through mountains and waters, finding joy in it. But Jin Xi was delayed in entering the state, becoming a bit impatient, thinking what’s there to see about those broken mountains, broken rivers, and small lakes by the road.
Dull, tasteless, a waste of time.
Lu Xuanji smiled and said, "Xi’Er, do you know that to achieve Divinity Transformation, you must first undergo Mortal Transformation?"
"Mortal Transformation, there’s such a saying!" Jin Xi said, "Our Jin Family, a major family in Central State, has numerous predecessors’ notes on achieving Divinity Transformation, and there’s no such thing as Mortal Transformation!"
Lu Xuanji said, "Mortal Transformation is adopting a mortal mindset, returning to the true self."
"In life, people constantly grow and constantly lose their true self, childhood toys are no longer played with when grown up, once hating evil as one’s enemy, but after growing up, becoming complicit with sin, the youth of the past is no longer, but becoming the Dragon Slayer!" Lu Xuanji said, "Cultivators constantly become stronger, gradually becoming powerful cultivators, but also gradually lose themselves, gradually lose their original intentions."
"Mortal Transformation is finding your original intention. Xi’Er, think, what was your original intention?"
"Original intention?"
Jin Xi closed her eyes, carefully recalling the past.
After a long time, Jin Xi opened her mouth and said, "Thank you!"
"Let’s go, the great hermit hides in the city, we’ll settle in a small town first!"
...
Wuxi City.
The carriage moved, the bells rang,
Sitting upright in the carriage, looking outside, Jin Xi showed a trace of unease.
To better experience Mortal Transformation, she sealed all her magical power, divine thought, perception, and so on. In the past, her divine thought could easily detect Wuxi City, but now with diminished perception, she could only look with the naked eye.
This feeling was extremely uncomfortable.
With the sealing of cultivation, her strong physique disappeared, and her body became exceptionally fragile.
With the disappearance of cultivation, her body became fragile, and her spirit also became anxious, worried, and uneasy.
In the past, she thought her Daoxin was firm, like a rock, but now it seemed Daoxin was not as indestructible as imagined.
"Xi’Er, I set up a seal for you, sealing your cultivation, physique, divine thought, perception, etc. Although you can break the seal and restore your peak state at any time, once broken, it’s a complete failure!" Lu Xuanji said, "Success or failure, it depends on this time!"
Jin Xi nodded.
The carriage entered the small town.
As night fell, the distant sunset turned into a red hue, infinitely beautiful.
A guard symbolically checked for a moment, allowing entry.
They rented a small courtyard in the city, Lu Xuanji cleaned and started cooking.
At night, the sound of firecrackers could be heard outside, fireworks danced in the sky, gorgeously colorful, mesmerizing.
"Xuanji, what is that?"
"Fireworks!"
"What are fireworks?"
"Fireworks are released by mortals to celebrate festivals, for joy! Today happens to be New Year’s Eve!"
"What is New Year’s Eve?"
Jin Xi inquired, Lu Xuanji answered, talking about things in the mortal world.
Once, Lu Xuanji had traveled in the mortal world, familiar with everything there; but Jin Xi, with her extraordinary talent from a young age, high above, had no experience of traveling in the mortal world,
Bamboo fences and field ridges, small bridges and flowing water, swallows returning home late.
The two started living a mortal’s life.
