The higher her cultivation, the fewer her emotions—which only makes the emotions she has left more precious. Having cultivated to so profound a realm, she can no longer help herself; she has no choice but to cast off emotion and preserve godhood. Therefore what is precious, she will naturally treasure.
" Unbidden, she thought of her own experiences, and her heart dimmed. "Only what is lost feels truly precious.
" Shen Mu and the others took up lodging in the Heavenly Sage Academy, while Shu Jun and Lang Wan the Divine King busied themselves reading through the academy's collected texts, surveying the whole of the Jingping Reform's achievements, studying every sort of cultivation method and divine ability. Lang Wan the Divine King had already opened her divine treasury and Heavenly Palace; to switch to cultivating the Heavenly River Divine Treasury, she would have to destroy her own divine bridge and divine treasury. But her cultivation was now so profound that she could almost stand alongside a Heavenly Sovereign, and to destroy her divine bridge, she would have to bear enormous peril—so she hesitated. Shu Jun had no such worry, and simply opened the Primal Embryo Divine Treasury. Yet he soon discovered that, having borrowed the Great Emperor's divine consciousness to raise his body, elevating his flesh to the level of a Lingxiao-realm deity, he could not open a divine treasury within his body at all!
His vital essence and soul were both too weak, his divine consciousness not especially strong either; he could not open a spirit embryo within this body of his! The so-called seven great divine treasuries were all opened within the fleshly body, and his fleshly body had already grown so powerful that it could not be opened!
"The mortals of Jingping are divided into those who can cultivate and those who cannot, and this is determined by the Primal Embryo Divine Treasury. " The Alchemist, thoroughly versed in pharmacology, prepared a great medicinal tub, brewed a tub of rank, foul-smelling medicinal water, and told Shu Jun to jump in.
"In the past, the divine ability users of Jingping had only four spirit bodies—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Black Tortoise. Just those four. A mortal without a spirit body could at most become a martial artist, never open the Primal Embryo Divine Treasury and become a divine ability user. Later, Shen'er destroyed his divine bridge and opened the Heavenly River Divine Treasury.
He did not delve deeply into the matter of mortals being unable to cultivate, but I did.
" The Alchemist smiled. "The reason the Four Spirit Bodies can cultivate is that their Primal Embryo Divine Treasury is inherited from their ancestors—they are born with a Primal Embryo Divine Treasury!
They need only open it to cultivate!
" "Those mortals who cannot cultivate have no divine ability users among their ancestors, and so have no Primal Embryo Divine Treasury within their bodies. But that does not mean they truly cannot cultivate!
They need only master the method for opening a Primal Embryo Divine Treasury, open one for themselves, and they can cultivate, can become divine ability users! " The Alchemist was elated.
To Shu Jun, soaking in the great wooden tub steeped with medicinal ingredients, he said, "This is what I have been researching all these years—determining the precise location of the Primal Embryo Divine Treasury according to each person's bodily structure. Then using spirit medicines to nurture vital essence, so that even an ordinary person can gather the vital essence needed to open a Primal Embryo Divine Treasury, and thereby become a divine ability user. But your body is too powerful; it must first be softened with the power of medicine. " Shu Jun watched him pour a whole host of virulently toxic things into the tub, and his heart quailed. "These things are poisonous, aren't they? " "Rest easy, rest easy!
