Clan Cultivation: I Transmigrated With My Smartphone

Though my words say don't get complacent, in my heart, there's an unspeakable satisfaction.

Ning Xue smiled, moving closer, and began calculating on her fingers: "When my master proved the Dao and established the Foundation, they had already surpassed ninety-nine percent of cultivators; upon proving the Dao and forming the Purple Mansion, they had already surpassed ninety-nine point nine-nine-nine percent of cultivators."

"As for now, they stand above the majority of cultivators. There are many cultivators under heaven, but how many have proven the Dao to Divinity Transformation! Do not be misled when my master chops down ordinary Divinity Transformation cultivators as if cutting vegetables and melons, for the number of Divinity Transformation is not plentiful..."

Lu Xuanji laughed: "One mountain is always higher than another, the proportion of Divinity Transformation is small, but it cannot surpass the enormous overall body of human race cultivators, even if it's a very small proportion, it would form a huge group base. Not to mention elsewhere, in just Chu Country there are twenty-five Divinity Transformations!"

"If expanded to the Eastern Wilderness Region, the number of Divinity Transformation practitioners would be at least a thousand; continued expansion to Yuan Continent would bring the number up to ten thousand. Extending to the entire Purple Mansion Realm, the number of Divinity Transformation cultivators would surpass a hundred thousand."

"In the Purple Mansion Realm, there are more than a hundred thousand Divinity Transformations; I am but an insignificant one!"

Ning Xue asked: "Will Void Refining cultivators appear?"

Speaking of this, there was a faint worry.

In the face of absolute power, any strategy is useless.

If a Refining Void Great Power descends upon Chu Country, it seems they would have no choice but to kneel and submit.

As for resistance, there is not a sliver of hope.

Void Refining cultivators are irresistible, only another Void Refining cultivator can resist them.

Lu Xuanji said: "They will appear in the future, but not for the time being. After Divinity Transformation, one needs to absorb Innate Qi, but the outside world no longer has Innate Qi, which is extremely disadvantageous for Divinity Transformation practitioners. To cultivate, they can only enter the Grotto World or activate an Array to convert Postnatal Spiritual Qi into Innate Spiritual Qi."

"As for Void Refining cultivators, not only do they need higher quality Spiritual Qi, but they also need a clear understanding of the Heaven and Earth Laws. However, having just ended the End of Dharma Era, with Spiritual Qi just beginning to revive, and the Heaven and Earth Laws not yet fully restored, it's still short of what's needed to advance into Void Refining. Just like Golden Crow Great Venerable, Kunpeng Demon Venerable, and East Pole Celestial Venerable, the reason they cannot progress to Void Refining is because the Heaven and Earth Laws have not revived, making their progression doubly difficult.

If another millennium passes, the difficulty will decrease by twenty percent; if another three thousand years pass, the difficulty will decrease by fifty percent."

"At that time, they will have a great probability to step into the Void Refining Realm!"

Ning Xue pondered: "This means that during the End of Dharma Era, cultivation was extremely difficult, and advancing was exceptionally difficult as well; but if in the phase of Spiritual Qi revival, with Qi rich to the peak, the speed of cultivation would be incredibly fast, and advancing would be the easiest."

"Exactly, that's the logic!"

Lu Xuanji said: "To a large extent, it is the world that creates the cultivator. The height of the world determines the height of the cultivator. I once read some books, some exceptional geniuses reach the Harmonization Realm at over fifteen hundred years old, only then starting to touch the domain of immortals!"

"We are already over seventeen hundred years old, merely at the fourth layer of Divinity Transformation, is it because our aptitude is poor? Or our comprehension, and talent insufficient, but that's fundamentally not it!"

"But we were born in the Spiritual Qi exhausted End of Dharma Era, where our generation of cultivators was lacking in innate origin at birth, with inherent flaws and deficiencies, and again lacking in Qi, with obscure and ambiguous laws, making every step forward extremely difficult!"

"However, we are also fortunate to catch the revival of Qi; even though somewhat weak initially and lacking subsequent strength, yet with infinite possibilities, and future prospects are vast. We are unlucky, yet at the same time fortunate!"

Ning Xue, pondering and thinking of the cases over the years, could only nod.

Fifteen hundred years ago, cultivators of their generation found advancing to Foundation Establishment exceedingly difficult, nine deaths and one life; yet fifteen hundred years later today, this generation of cultivators finds advancing to Foundation Establishment to be much less difficult, while progressing to the Purple Mansion is also less difficult, with only reaching the Golden Core being challenging.

The current difficulty of reaching the Golden Core is merely comparable to what was once the difficulty of reaching Foundation Establishment.

It is clear from this that this generation has caught a good era.

Lu Xuanji said: "Therefore, in the new era, very few advance to Void Refining; and among the old generation, those Void Refining cultivators remain in slumber.

At present, the heavenly environment hasn't fully recovered, the environment is not yet ideal, and those seasoned Void Refining cultivators, if they emerged now, would be suppressed by the world, shortening their lifespans considerably."

"They will not emerge!"

At this point, Lu Xuanji couldn't help but think of the female cultivator who gifted him the cyanic silk,

Fairy Haitang is at the ninth layer of Void Refining, with unfathomably strong cultivation.

Yet she continually slumbers in a crystal coffin, even if awakened briefly, she would enter back to slumber within the crystal coffin, all because the timing is not yet right, and emergence would cause severe harm to herself.

...

As he stepped out of the Cave Mansion, feeling the beauty of these years, Lu Xuanji couldn't help but smile.

Even immortals cannot escape the mundane world of men and women.

After all, immortality is merely strong cultivation and long life, it doesn't mean having no emotions or desires, and just as long there are emotions and desires, there will be all sorts of impulses, and the throbbing of life.

"Hmm!"

Upon leaving the Cave Mansion, Lu Xuanji suddenly frowned slightly, sensing a hint of unease, and a trace of sorrow.

It seems that something major has happened.

At this moment, Qinglian appeared, her expression grieving.

With tension filling his heart, Lu Xuanji pressed down the restlessness within him and asked: "What happened? What exactly happened?"

Qinglian said: "Ye Wanyi has fallen! She has fallen under the Life Tribulation!"

Lu Xuanji exclaimed: "Impossible, impossible! I am connected to her energy synergy, she shared in my destiny, my destiny burns like fire. Even if encountering a calamity, it would turn peril into safety..."

Just as he said it, Lu Xuanji couldn't continue.

Between Dao Companions, their destinies are connected, and strong destiny cultivators will feed back the weaker ones.

All these years, under the feedback of his destiny, Ye Wanyi had often turned misfortune into fortune, overcoming difficulties, with her cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds, even reaching the Ninth-Layer Nascent Soul, with a three-layer chance to break into Divinity Transformation.

If no incidents occurred, Ye Wanyi would step into the Divinity Transformation Realm.

But not long ago, he encountered the Golden Crow Race's attack, under the assault of the Nail-Head Seven Arrows Book, his destiny kept falling, almost plunging to the bottom, turning his destiny black.

Destiny as low as it could be, precisely then, met with an attack from East Pole Celestial Venerable.

Soon after, he inversely killed East Pole, snatching the destiny from East Pole's body.

Destiny was starting to rise; only gradually, though.

At this time, Ye Wanyi fell under the Life Tribulation!"

Lu Xuanji sighed: "I caused her demise, where is her body?"

Lu Xuanji fell into silence.

When ordinary people die, there is at least a body left, but when a cultivator dies in tribulation, the body is struck by tribulation qi, and it has long turned to dust, no body to speak of!"

Lu Xuanji remained silent.

When mortals die, they are truly dead, there is no talk of reincarnation, but for a Nascent Soul Cultivator, the darlings of heaven and earth, even after death can live a second life, maybe Wanyi...

Even as he thought about it, Lu Xuanji couldn't help but fall into a deep silence.

After some time, he built a cenotaph for her,

inside he laid some daily items.

As he carved the stone tablet for her tomb, Lu Xuanji wrote, 'The Tomb of My Wife, Ye Wanyi.'

Gazing upon the grave, Lu Xuanji once again felt the fragility of life, the impermanence of life and death.

Many years have passed, and in their generation of cultivators, advancing to Foundation Establishment was extremely difficult, nine deaths and one life; but today, for this generation of cultivators, the difficulty to advance to Foundation Establishment is very low, and the level of difficulty for advancing to the Purple Mansion is also low, only advancing to the Golden Core is difficult.

Today, the difficulty of advancing to Golden Core is only comparable to the difficulty of advancing to Foundation Establishment in the past.

This shows that this generation has caught a good time.
