I Have A Special Cultivation Talent Chapter 237 - Genius Talents

Chapter 237: Genius Talents

“In Luo Tian Immortal Faction, Iron Sword Celestial is in charge of the Enforcement Hall and Iron Sword Pavilion.
“The lineage of the ninth-generation master is in charge of the Hall of the Masters and the Archive Pavilion.
“The lineage of the tenth-generation master is in charge of the Deacon Hall and the Elder Hall.
“The lineage of the eleventh-generation master is in charge of the Spirit Plant Temple and the Elixir Temple.
“The lineage of the twelfth-generation master is in charge of the Puppet Hall and the Alchemy Temple.!!
“These places are completely controlled by the main lineages and cannot be usurped by anyone else.
“There are also Spirit Beast Hall, Merit Hall, Mission Hall, Battle Hall, Formation Hall, and so forth.
“Each place is governed by elders of the main and side lineages.
“The immortal sect is vast, and its location is where the six Atavistic Leylines converged.
“Each Atavistic Leyline is bigger than our Luanyun Mountain Range.
“By comparison, the Luanyun Mountain Range is only one-tenth of the Atavistic Leyline or even a little less than that.”
Fuyunzi spoke of the immortal sect in a plain but proud tone.
The Luo Tian Immortal Faction inherited the luck of the Age of Nine Territories and had a very solid foundation.
In an ordinary territory, a single Atavistic Leyline could give rise to a top clan.
But in Pulao Territory, Luo Tian Immortal Sect of the six Atavistic Leylines ought to rank first.
The most important thing was that Luo Tian Immortal Sect occupied the southeastern part of Pulao Territory, which was considered the most desirable area.
In Pulao Territory, it was definitely one of the most powerful immortal sects.
When Chen Jingzhai heard it, he was greatly shocked. At the same time, he yearned for it even more.
He would soon witness everything himself. So naturally, he was filled with eager anticipation.
“Senior brother, which lineage do I belong to?”
Other than anticipation, there was nothing else but worry. Chen Jingzhai asked the most crucial question.
He took the Path of Technique Creation, which was already shouldered with multiple inheritances.
It seemed that he could go whichever way, but this was also an awkward situation.
Fuyunzi said with a smile, “You are a disciple of Daoxuan Peak, so you should go to the Formation Hall.
“Unfortunately, you are also a disciple of Hongluan Peak, which means that the Battle Hall is where you belong.
“The disciples of Hongluan Peak often choose the Battle Hall.
“Of course, you are a little different. You are the direct disciple of Luo Sheng Sword School, so you ought to choose the four main lineages.
“Remember what I said when we were in Cloud Palace?
“You are my junior brother, not just someone who is simply the direct disciple of Hongluan Peak.
“I labor for the ninth-generation master, and because of that, you belong to the ninth lineage as well.”
Otherwise, why would he be trying so hard? It was all for the sake of this junior brother in front of him.
He had even come to pick him up in person, and it was not just for the sake of the competition!
No one knew the extent of Chen Jingzhai’s talent better than him.
Ever since Chen Jingzhai became the direct disciple, the luck of the ninth lineage had increased a lot.
This was only the beginning. His expectations for Chen Jingzhai were far greater than what he expected of himself.
“The ninth lineage?” Chen Jingzhai nodded without questioning his senior brother.
The ninth lineage was not bad. Although the whereabouts of its master were unknown for now, on account that he was traveling outside, there would be no problem with senior brother Fuyunzi at the helm of the ninth lineage.
Next, Fuyunzi continued to talk about some of the things inside the Luo Tian Immortal Faction.
This time, he was mainly focused on a clan competition.
Speaking of which, the clan competition this time was actually first instigated by the side lineages.
In order to obtain more resources, especially Celestial Scriptures, the side lineages were getting more and more impatient.
Because they were not satisfied with the fact that the main lineages were keeping such a tight hold on genius talents, they decided on the Battle of the Genius Talents ten thousand years ago.
Genius talents. In Pulao Kingdom, not everyone could use this term.
It was the same in Pulao Territory.
In Luo Tian Immortal Sect, anyone under the age of 100 with a complete Foundation Plane and only those with special physiques were to be considered genius talents.
Among them, special physiques included a natural Taoism body, double pupils, celestial bones, and other similar qualities.
The Battle of the Genius Talents in the sect took place from time to time.
If the number of candidates reached four and over, the battle could be approved by the main lineages and the side lineages.
“Four?” Chen Jingzhai was surprised. This was different from what he had imagined!
“What? Do you think it’s too little?” Fuyunzi asked with a smile. “It’s hard to assemble all four together.”
“But it shouldn’t be!” Chen Jingzhai touched his chin. “With the essence power in the environment of Pulao Territory, plus the support of various lineages and their own special aptitudes, it should not be difficult to break through to the completion of Foundation Establishment Plane.”
And they have a hundred years of time to do that!
Who would believe that someone with such amazing qualifications could not complete the Foundation Establishment Plane within a hundred years of cultivation?
“Common sense dictates that this ought to be the case, but the actual situation must be taking into consideration as well,” Fuyunzi said leisurely. “Genius talents are usually somewhat arrogant. From the beginning of cultivation, they must consider the path they want to take in the future. They aim to reach the fullness of each plane as much as possible in order to establish a firm foundation that will prove them invincible against other cultivators in the same plane. Therefore, they don’t care so much about the speed of cultivation.”
The better the environment and the better the qualifications, the higher the expectation for oneself.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a waste?
The better they were, the harder they worked. This was the truth.
Who would not want to forge a supreme foundation and climb to the realm of a True Immortal?
“Then?” Chen Jingzhai asked.
“Generally speaking, genius talents have two choices,” said Fuyunzi. “Ten years of training in Meditation Plane and complete the Foundation Establishment Plane within 70 years. Or 30 years of training in Meditation Plane and complete the Foundation Establishment Plane within 50 years.”
“Why is that?” Chen Jingzhai asked curiously.
“It is a matter of choice,” said Fuyunzi with a smile. “Ten years of training in Meditation Plane will allow someone to enter the Foundation Establishment Plane quickly, then the rest of the time is spent on cultivating within the Foundation Establishment Plane. The other is using thirty years of time to polish three levels of cultivation every ten years or one level per every three years.”
Quickly working on building the Foundation Establishment Plane meant that the Meditation Plane was not so important.
Polishing in Meditation Plane was to continuously cultivate the spiritual power in the body from Meditation Plane. Once it reached the utmost state, the entrance to the Foundation Establishment Plane became a matter of course, and the cultivation process continued.
One was easy first and difficult later. The other was difficult first and easy later.
“Why does it have to be like this? Can’t you cultivate Meditation Plane in one year and build Foundation in ten years?” Chen Jingzhai asked.
“They could, but there is a problem,” Fuyunzi explained. “The essence power between heaven and earth is too strong. Once it enters the body, the body will not be able to tolerate so much essence power at once. It will increase the stress put on the whole body and may even cause the blood vessels to burst. This is why at the beginning of cultivation, there are high requirements placed on the abilities to control and refine essence power, which is different from our cultivation world in Pulao Kingdom.”
“Is there such a thing?” Chen Jingzhai was speechless.
“This is normal.” Fuyunzi sighed softly. “The main reason is that mortals are too weak, and once a cultivator builds a foundation, reproduction becomes impossible, or rather the fertility rate plummets. Before, there were cases of infants born with Foundation Establishment Plane, but now reduction of essence power has caused the body to become weaker.”
The essence power of Pulao Territory seemed to be of high concentration, and it was much higher than that of Pulao Kingdom. In theory, the cultivators must be cultivating with a dizzying speed, but the real situation was exactly the opposite.
The essence power may be rich, but it was not that pure. It required the refinement and extraction by the cultivators. The unique pressure of the essence power became a great trouble for cultivators who were not previously familiar with the way of cultivation.
However, it was not as if there were no workarounds. Medicinal pills or leveraging the elders, tempering one’s body with spiritual power or medicinal power, were all possible solutions. One must keep trying to cultivate while in the process of natural growth.
Those with means could also be equipped with Essence-Gathering Formation and Refinement Formation. The result of using the two together was highly effective. The Essence-Gathering Formation was used to gather essence power, while the Refinement Formation was to help refine these essence power. Then one may use these pure essence power to cultivate.
And if there were special physiques involved, the pursuit of the supreme Foundation was a must. Genius talents would force themselves to cultivate to the tenth level during the Meditation Plane period. This was the extreme requirement that the genius talents placed on themselves.
Cultivators in Pulao Territories may have no shortage of talents, but there were actually very few who could complete the Foundation Establishment Plane within a hundred years. It was a confluence of luck to gather four at a time.
The cultivators in the Pulao Kingdom were completely different from the cultivators in the Pulao Territory. For the cultivators in the Pulao Territory, the cultivators in the Pulao Kingdom were not good enough and their foundation was unstable.
This was not a prejudice, but an iron-clad fact. The cultivators from the Pulao Kingdom had to re-cultivate in the Pulao Territory all over again to get used to this world.
This was also the reason why Chen Jingzhai and the others, after leaving the forest, suddenly sat down outside Woods Ocean City to process the essence they had inhaled. In some ways, the cultivators in Pulao Territory were true cultivators.
The cultivators of Pulao Kingdom were naturally a little weaker than the cultivators from Pulao Territory.
