Chapter 838: Chapter 581: Reputation Is the Foundation of an Immortal (Part 2)

"As for the physical body..."

The residual soul sneered, "Unlike you humans, to us Immortal Race, the physical body is merely dispensable. Compared to the constraints of the frail body, the ’physical body’ that truly suits me are these Spirit Veins."

"You want to reshape your body using the power of the Spirit Veins?"

"It’s already part of me, why speak of reshaping?"

"Then why did you split a part with Chen Zhixing earlier? Wouldn’t it be better for you to keep it all?"

"You are indeed ants!"

Yimiao: "???"

Slightly stunned by being called an ant, Yimiao couldn’t fathom why the residual soul suddenly went mad.

The next moment, however, the residual soul explained.

"We Immortal Race are different from you. Since this person helped me, I naturally have to give the deserved reward. If I were to go back on my word as you imagine, wouldn’t I be as shameless as you ants?"

Yimiao: "....."

What a mess, the residual soul is so childish, how did he cultivate to the Celestial Immortal Realm!

Feeling somewhat dissatisfied with the residual soul’s inexplicable arrogance, Yimiao couldn’t help but add another word.

"But before this, you didn’t promise Chen Zhixing to give him Spirit Veins. From the start, you only promised him the method of Heavenly Gang Thirty-Six Transformations to help him stabilize his humanity!"

"Are you saying my life is only worth a low-grade cultivation method?"

The residual soul sneered, truly disdainful of Yimiao’s petty spirit, yet thinking of how they helped tremendously in his recent escape, he took some effort to explain the essence.

"We Immortal race differ from you humans; being born with an immortal body, the Immortal Race has practically no material pursuits. For beings like us, real value lies in ’credibility’ ’existence’ ’fame’ ’path’. Right now for me, compared to the part of the Spirit Veins taken by Chen Zhixing, my ’fame’ is evidently more important, hence I would never disgrace my name over mere material."

"Alright, I’ll accept your answer, then find a place to hide and recover your mana, I’ll handle the situation with the Celestial Profound Realm."

Actually, what the residual soul said wasn’t difficult for Yimiao to understand.

The residual soul cares about his reputation.

From start to end, the Immortal Race has always behaved like this. Once promised, they don’t renege, like the residual soul; when completing a task well, the reward given would exceed expectations, even if during the process it harms them significantly, they will grittingly fulfill the contract.

This inexplicable arrogance is practically symbolic of the Immortal Race, and because of this arrogance, beings like Yimiao aren’t afraid of reneging when they hear the Immortal Race.

Just like some individuals who grew up affluent, taught that reputation is life, they understand its importance profoundly, so they often choose reputation over interests and possess the confidence to start anew.

An undeniable fact is, those who hold reputation often overcome adversities and return to their inherent status.

That is the power of reputation.

Yimiao isn’t ignorant of the value of reputation, knowing well it’s the world’s most premium resource. However, among the myriad races in ten thousand realms, there’s barely any trust in the human race’s ’reputation’, and Yimiao doesn’t have the means to change the universal view of humans.

Without the Immortal race’s foundation, the path of reputation becomes unchoosable for Yimiao, discernment allowing the avoidance of fruitless effort.

It can only be said that compared to gold and silver, reputation truly allows a group to keep standing atop the world.

Unfortunately, such supreme legacy is not obtainable within one or few generations...

And the Immortal Race, their reputation resonates through all heavens and myriad realms.

...

Leaving aside Yimiao’s sentiments about reputation.

Discussing Chen Zhixing, who benefited greatly from the Immortal Race’s ’good reputation’, he had returned to Wuyou Immortal Island.

Upon return, Chen Zhixing immediately filled the Immortal Island with various Spirit Veins converted by Emperor Ziwei Venerable Dharma Aspect.

After the infusion, feeling the swift completion of nearly half the Spiritual Qi density, Chen Zhixing couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

"Indeed, the Immortal Race’s foundation is profound, even though it’s only one-third of a long-sealed bankrupt; it advanced the Spiritual Qi connection progress of this Wuyou Immortal Tao nearly to half. If there were another similar being, perhaps my Wuyou Immortal Tao transformation plan could be completed directly!"

Uh...

Above were merely Chen Zhixing’s complaints; the Immortal Race is truly wealthy, but not exactly easy to provoke.

Like the residual soul he freed from Flying Star Realm is essentially an Immortal stronger than even the Five Elements Taoist Lord!

As Immortal, having such assets is normal, isn’t it?

Even in decline, they wouldn’t lack such things.

Of course, generous is genuinely generous; Chen Zhixing admits if it were him, probably wouldn’t give like the Immortal residual soul, after an impoverished time, willingly sacrificing one-third to repay others.

"Well, I admit at least in the short term, I harbor a beautifying filter for the Immortal Race."

He spoke whilst curling his lips, abandoning the idea of reporting the matter of Flying Star residual soul to the Celestial Saint.

Simply put, the reason is the Flying Star residual soul gave too much, leaving him embarrassed to mention.

"But speaking of which, this cultivation method of Heavenly Gang Thirty-Six Transformations is indeed odd."

Holding the top-grade Spiritual Jade which contained several Immortal Race Cultivation Techniques, Chen Zhixing appeared slightly troubled.

This Heavenly Gang Thirty-Six Transformations... how to say...

Easy yet difficult to cultivate simultaneously.

The core of its cultivation is merging numerous Spirit Beast bloodlines into oneself, using exotic beast power to impact one’s bloodline, creating separation between consciousness and body, then using high-tier cultivators’ semi-high dimensional biological talent to alter consciousness’ sense of time, achieving a degree of separation between consciousness and body.

Yes, the effect is tremendous, and this process can repeat thirty-six times, as its name suggests.

Regarding the method’s effect, depends on the cultivator’s development in these thirty-six ’separations’.

Some fully finish and practice achieving one day equal to a hundred years outside, some only manage one day equivalent to a year... Yes, achieving below a year essentially marks a cultivation failure, eternally remaining at Celestial Immortal, with no relation to Golden Immortal.

Whether cultivation good or bad can be influenced by external factors?

Definitely.

Without speaking of others, using high-tier Spirit Beast bloodlines as a guide significantly influences Heavenly Gang Thirty-Six Transformations’ result.

Realistically, cultivating with True Dragon bloodline impacts differently compared to a loach, so bloodline guides for Heavenly Gang Thirty-Six Transformations should ideally be high-level, not just extending more cultivation time, but also greatly increasing awakening chances of bloodline-related Divine Techniques.

But to speak bluntly.

Where in the world does one find so many high-tier bloodlines for cultivating Heavenly Gang Thirty-Six Transformations?
