Chapter 150: Lifebound Treasure Refining Art

I am willing.

No matter how you boast, Yun Baobao seemed to hear nothing.

You felt helpless.

You thought she was only newly human, driven by curiosity to marry you.

If she ever regretted it and blamed you, it would be a calamity that could overturn the entire Human Race.

In any matter concerning Yun Baobao, you dared not be careless.

No.

You refused again, soothingly saying, 'You still don't understand these; wait until you personally experience what I've said, then we can talk about this.'

I have understood!

Yun Baobao would not give up, earnestly saying, 'The first time I saw you, I felt close; I took human form because of you! I protect the Human Race because of you!'

Speaking in your Human Race's terms, I am willing to give everything for you; how could this not make us husband and wife?

You suddenly realized.

It turned out that your Perfection Form attracted her.

For the first time, you truly felt the mysterious power of the innate body as a follower of the Great Dao.

Given Yun Baobao's simple nature, you knew reasoning with her was useless.

No matter how you boast, she would insist on marrying you.

You could only resort to stalling tactics.

You smiled and said, 'Yun Baobao, I know your feelings, but according to Human Race customs, we must wait until you grow up before we can marry.'

She excitedly asked, 'So you agreed?'

You nodded, 'Mm.'

Good! Wait for me to grow up!

According to Yun Baobao's age, the other party might need several hundred thousand years or more to reach adulthood; surely by then, they would no longer be so simple.

You arranged a room for Yun Baobao.

She was full of joy, looking forward to the future, as if that day would not be long.

Little did she know that a brief span in her consciousness was enough to witness the rise and fall of countless civilizations.

Time flew by.

Human Race Calendar year 450.

In the course of daily exploration, you unveiled the fourth realm of the Qi Refining Cultivation System—the Nascent Soul.

The Nascent Soul's Dao already touches the soul.

Even if the physical body is destroyed, the Nascent Soul can escape, residing in some spiritual objects or taking over another's flesh to be reborn.

Reaching this realm, one can surpass ninety percent of cultivators.

Yet compared to the Nine Ancient God Clans, it remains far behind.

You will record the breakthrough of the Nascent Soul's gate and send people to the Sui Tribe, Chi Tribe, Hong Tribe, and Xi Tribe.

You also specially wrote a detailed explanation and sent it to the Sangyu Tribe.

Your path and Sangyu's differ, yet they converge; ultimately, for the Human Race, you have always supported each other, exchanging letters over the years.

Once, in a letter, you mentioned Yun Baobao's existence.

For the next fifty years, she did not reply to your letters.

Later, she gave you a message: 'When I return, you must hold a wedding ceremony for me.'

You regarded her as your wife, and she naturally regarded you as her husband.

Between you, only a formal hair-tying ceremony was missing.

Yun Baobao did not care about this at all.

She was even a little happy.

She said, 'I want to see what your wedding ceremony is like; afterward, our wedding should also be grand.'

You were both amused and exasperated.

Given Sangyu's temperament, if you dared to marry Yun Baobao, she would surely have you hold a grand wedding and invite the whole tribe to feast.

Human Race Calendar year 510.

You and the Clan Elders completed the perfection of the Nascent Soul's gate, then formally promoted it throughout the Human Race.

Thus, the Human Race entered a brand-new era.

Over the next three hundred years, Nascent Soul cultivators continually emerged among the Human Race, and the Great Era of Human Divergence officially began.

Nascent Soul cultivators gained enough power to protect a clan, leading one family after another to leave the Chuan Tribe.

Human Race civilization spread like dandelion seeds, drifting to the ends of the earth, taking root and sprouting.

As Clan Chief, you were delighted.

The heavens and earth are vast; the radiant light of Human Race civilization began to truly shine in this world.

This process also inevitably entailed collisions with other groups.

Human Race Calendar year 1000.

You received an important letter; the sender was the chief of the Xi Tribe, Xi.

He developed the Lifebound Treasure Refining Art, which complements the Qi Refining Cultivation System and can greatly increase a Qi Refiner's combat power.

Xi asked you to go in person.

For the first time in a thousand years, you left the tribe.

"I also want to go."

Yun Baobao has been clinging to you all along; the companionship of several hundred years, day after day life, she feels not the slightest bit bored.

Thus you brought her to the Xi Tribe.

Xi has always been the pride of the Human Race, just like you, he is also a First Generation Human; on the road leading the Human Race's growth, he has helped you a lot.

"Chuan Clan Leader, finally I see you again."

He laughed and embraced you.

Although we haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, we are still good brothers, not at all estranged.

But you both have to guard your tribes, rarely able to free yourselves, so you can only keep in touch by letters.

You smiled and said: "Not bad, Xi; the tribe under your leadership is developing very well, not weaker than my Chuan Tribe."

Xi's gaze fell on Yun Baobao: "Who is this?"

You hadn't even opened your mouth when Yun Baobao hurriedly replied:

"I am his future wife; you can call me Yun."

Yun Baobao once told you that she feels 'Baobao' is an intimate term of address, only usable by closest kin.

"So it's Yun Sao Sao."

Xi wasn't too surprised, after all he also has several wives.

You could only acquiesce.

If you were to explain further, given Yun Baobao's train of thought, she would likely say something utterly bewildering and shocking.

After the pleasantries, you got straight to the point.

Xi proudly showed you the method of refining his Natal Magic Treasure, and then produced his Natal Magic Treasure.

Xi's Natal Magic Treasure is an Array Plate.

He also pioneered the Human Race's Formation Dao, integrating it into his Natal Magic Treasure and naming it——Mountain River World Map.

As long as the Mountain River World Map is activated, it can manifest layers of Mountain River Grand Formation to suppress the enemy.

You and Xi engaged in a duel.

The outcome was unexpected.

As the founder of the Qi Refining system, given your understanding of Qi Refining Arts, you actually only fought Xi to a draw.

If the fight were prolonged, you might even lose.

This shows the importance of the Natal Magic Treasure.

Xi said: "The Natal Magic Treasure will be an important companion for your life; it is sentient, even more important than blood-related closest kin; you must carefully select materials for its refinement."
