My Longevity Simulation - Chapter 1190: The Holy Teacher Imparts the Supreme Dao

While Li Ping was conversing with Yin Shangren, the life signs of the black-haired youth who had comprehended a path of Primordial Golden Core rapidly weakened. In the end, he completely lost the aura that a living being should possess.

Yet he did not die.

The black-haired youth remained quietly seated there, with his physical and spiritual energy circulating on their own. Vast and profound.

“What a pity. He could not hold on and has completely assimilated with the Cave-Heaven consciousness, losing his sense of self.” Yin Shangren sighed deeply, his face full of regret.

“His original strength was too weak, and the target he chose was not quite appropriate. If he had chosen the smaller Cave-Heaven next to it, he might have had a chance to survive.”

Li Ping’s gaze also remained fixed on the black-haired youth for a long time.

“What was his name?”

“Qu Wentian.”

“A good name. However, there is still one thing I don’t understand.” Li Ping’s voice echoed in the empty secret chamber. “Can one truly seize the fortune of a Cave-Heaven at the Foundation Establishment stage? That vanished Cave-Heaven is called the Abyssal Wasteland. Although it does not appear very large from Great Qi’s perspective, its scale was almost equivalent to half of the Great Qi small world…”

“Perhaps this boy was exceptionally talented.” After remaining silent for quite a while, Yin Shangren could not come up with a better explanation and could only answer this way.

“You must understand that people are different. Some things that seem utterly impossible to us may be as simple as lifting a hand for others. The Primordial Golden Core path that Qu Wentian opened may be destined to be walkable by only a very small number of people, yet it has still given me inspiration.”

Yin Shangren turned to look at Li Ping, his expression becoming solemn. “You are correct. If we want to completely undermine the dominant position of the Immortal Ancestor’s New Method, our new new method cannot be a niche and difficult path.”

“Back then, the reason the Immortal Ancestor cultivation path could spread like wildfire across the entire Xuanhuang Realm, continuing endlessly despite suppression from the Ten Great Immortal Sects and eventually replacing them, was precisely because it had almost no threshold. The fact that everyone can cultivate it is the attribute that the new new method should possess.”

“After thinking about it, the reason Qu Wentian was able to break through at the Foundation Establishment stage using the Self-Based Foundation Establishment method was because he seized the fortune of a Cave-Heaven world. Reversing the logic, the fortune of the world should be the most critical factor in the Primordial Golden Core.”

Yin Shangren’s speech grew faster and faster, and his expression became somewhat excited.

“Without relying on external objects, cultivable by everyone, and utilizing the fortune of the world…”

“Combining these three necessary conditions, we can glimpse the true vision of the ideal Primordial Golden Core!”

With a wave of his hand, Yin Shangren summoned illusory images of childlike faces before the two of them.

“Seizing the fortune of the world is not for the fortune itself. Rather, it is needed for the evolution of that fortune. For ordinary people, the fortune of a world is mysterious and difficult to comprehend. Only by forcefully possessing it through the path of devouring and turning it into part of oneself can one slowly understand it.”

“But if there is a supreme holy teacher who personally instructs them, explaining in exhaustive detail his own comprehension of the world’s fortune…”

“I believe that even a young child can comprehend this Dao!” Yin Shangren said with conviction.

Seeing the doubtful look in Li Ping’s eyes, he continued: “In the eyes of outsiders, the method of Self-Based Foundation Establishment seems incredibly complex and inconceivable. But for the children I have taught, who have been exposed to it since childhood and whose understanding of the world contains only this one cultivation method, it is not so difficult to learn. Especially after the first successful case of Foundation Establishment through Oneself, it was as if a bottleneck had been broken. Successes began appearing one after another.”

“The same will be true for Primordial Golden Core.”

“Moreover, the new new method should vary according to the individual. Emulating the evolution of the world within one’s own body to achieve the Primordial state does not necessarily require pursuing the absolute extreme. After all, worlds come in different sizes, and cultivators vary in talent and potential. Fully realizing one’s own potential is already sufficient…”

“The only thing needed is to find such a supreme holy teacher. One who not only has reached the pinnacle in his understanding of the Dao of the world, but can also share his insights with others without holding anything back and with great patience…”

As Yin Shangren spoke, his gaze turned toward the destined Holy Emperor before him.

“Although I am willing to become a teacher for the world, unfortunately…” Li Ping’s tone paused slightly.

“My own comprehension of the Dao of the world is still insufficient. How could I teach others?”

“In my view, within the entire Xuanhuang Realm, the only one qualified to be such a teacher is probably the Immortal Ancestor Heavenly Sovereign himself. Are we to have the Immortal Ancestor rebel against his own creation?”

“Fellow Daoist, the path of Primordial Golden Core still needs further careful consideration.”

Yin Shangren had no way to refute this. A trace of unwillingness and confusion flashed in his eyes.

Li Ping had come in high spirits but returned disappointed.

He left Yin Shangren where he was and returned alone.

He then properly comforted Daoist Hundred Flowers, who had rushed over in a hurry thinking that the Xuanhuang Realm was under attack by the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance and was currently searching for the enemy.

Furthermore, he rewarded her with some golden source power as commendation.

As pure crystallization of cultivation, golden source power was a great tonic for Daoist Hundred Flowers, who existed as a pure energy body.

Daoist Hundred Flowers first expressed her thanks, then solemnly absorbed it.

“Huh? Fellow Daoist, this time what you gave…”

After swallowing the golden source power, Daoist Hundred Flowers had not even finished her sentence before it turned into an incredulous exclamation.

“Why is it so dense?”

“It even feels like…”

“Source power essence?!”

Daoist Hundred Flowers looked at Li Ping in utter shock.

Her glazed body became visibly more radiant and condensed at a speed detectable by the naked eye.

Years of hidden injuries were slowly repaired. Even the faint connection to the Fishing Pond that had remained after her escape seemed to become negligible under the wash of the golden source power.

Correspondingly, as Daoist Hundred Flowers looked at the Faceless Holy Emperor before her, his unfathomably profound figure slowly became imprinted in her heart.

Li Ping did not explain anything. He simply left Daoist Hundred Flowers with an extremely mysterious back view.

“Has he… already approached the True Immortal realm to such an extent?”

“How is that possible?”

Daoist Hundred Flowers felt immense shock in her heart, yet the far-surpassing-mortal golden source power essence surging within her body seemed to be the best evidence for her guess.

…

As a clone, Li Ping’s realm had naturally not surpassed that of the main body.

It was still stuck at the Nascent Soul stage. In fact, the vast majority of his combat power came from the fortune of the Holy Dynasty of Great Qi. His personal strength was pathetically weak.

The reason he could produce golden energy essence that approached the level of source power essence was thanks to a group of special individuals.

Deep underground beneath the Holy Emperor’s throne.

It was pitch black with no sunlight at all.

Yet a group of people lived here completely unaffected.

Aside from their normal daily routines, their most important task every day was to pray toward the Holy Emperor’s stone statue.
