Chapter 1237: Ascension to the Fifth Circle (2)
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“At this stage, it’s best to focus on talisman crafting and leave alchemy for after my ascension,” the Holy Infant decided.
He then took out the three techniques for ascending to the primordial soul level.
“Earth Core Crystal Shattering Technique: This method involves traveling to the vicinity of a small plane’s core and using immense pressure to shatter the crystal. It’s a common technique in the Earth School of Thought and the Burning School of Thought, similar to the Thunder Fire Crystal Shattering Technique. It’s a second-rate method, relying on external forces, with a few drawbacks.”
First, reaching the core of a small plane is difficult, as most fifth-circle wizards lack the ability to venture into the Land of Darkness to find such a plane.
Second, even near the core of a small plane, the temperature, density, and pressure are incredibly daunting. Those with insufficient cultivation may be crushed by the high pressure before even reaching the core.
As a result, the Earth School of Thought developed arrays to simulate the core’s environment. These arrays are less effective and have a lower success rate, but they are safer.
“I do have access to a small plane—the Ancient Saint Plane. This method might come in handy in the future.”
“Mountain Moving Soul Condensation Technique: This third-rate soul condensation method involves covering a small mountain with one’s spiritual force before ascending to the primordial soul level. Gradually, you try to lift the mountain with your spiritual force. Through years of practice, when the mountain slightly trembles, you’re ready. At this point, you take a breakthrough potion and shatter the crystal, potentially giving birth to a primordial soul. Even a small mountain hundreds of meters high weighs an immense amount, highlighting the vast difference between the primordial soul and the fifth-circle level.”
