Chapter 501 - 263: Mysterious Black Qi

"Regarding the issues in cultivation, although I’ve annotated them in the Jade Scroll, everyone’s physique and progress are different, a small difference can lead to a huge divergence.

Moreover, you are a Human-Demon mixed blood descendant and also possess a Celestial Spirit Sword Body, which naturally makes your physique different from ordinary cultivators..."

The Sword Servant respectfully nodded and then, with a slightly immature yet cold voice, inquired about cultivation issues.

Lin Chang’an, though not turning around, used his strong Divine Sense to observe that the Sword Servant seemed to intentionally keep her lips closed when speaking.

It wasn’t a matter of etiquette, but rather an attempt to hide the teeth in her mouth.

Hmm! A pair of somewhat wild little canine teeth.

It seems her Human-Demon mixed blood identity made her quite self-conscious.

"Hmm, as expected of the Celestial Spirit Sword Body. Although the Human-Demon mixed blood hinders your cultivation progress, you’re able to control the Sword Intent within your body so finely!"

Even Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but put down the Jade Scroll in his hand, looking at the Sword Servant with some surprise.

One must know that even when he initially cultivated this Cultivation Technique, his meridians constantly suffered under the ravages of this Sword Intent after he circulated the technique.

Yet this extremely sharp Sword Intent was under such precise control in her body, behaving unusually docile.

Curiously, Lin Chang’an extended his hand to place it on her somewhat pale and delicate wrist, feeling the difference between the Celestial Spirit Sword Body and his own ordinary cultivator’s body.

After the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the Sword Servant remained respectfully lowering her head without moving.

But Lin Chang’an’s expression grew darker.

Damn it!

Indeed, people can only envy others. Having a Celestial Spirit Root without bottlenecks before Core Formation was already perverse enough, and now this Celestial Spirit Sword Body is just as impressive.

In some aspects, it’s even more extreme.

"The Evil Essence Sword Formulas, even among the top Sword Formulas in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, are exceptionally difficult to cultivate because powerful Sword Intent tends to harm the cultivator, which is why top-level Cultivation Techniques are hard to practice and have limitations."

But this Celestial Spirit Sword Body seemingly has an innate affinity with Sword Intent; despite the influence of Human-Demon mixed blood, it remained incredibly docile.

Some might even think that the mana cultivated within naturally carried this Sword Intent.

"No wonder the three major Sword Cultivation Spirit Bodies are praised as darlings of Sword Dao cultivation, their aptitude is not inferior to Celestial Spirit Roots."

Celestial Spirit Roots have early-stage advantages, whereas top-tier Spirit Bodies have late-stage advantages.

In reality, for cultivators, the early stage is critical because they are at their weakest and most likely to perish, and the Celestial Spirit Root has no bottlenecks.

It’s simply heaven-defying, allowing one to quickly cultivate to the Core Formation Realm, providing the power for self-preservation, and the Celestial Spirit Root’s Core Formation almost certainly results in an Upper Grade Golden Core.

Once Core Formation is reached, there’s also extended longevity and rapid cultivation speed, providing more time to prepare for Nascent Soul cultivation.

This is also why Celestial Spirit Roots are so beloved in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, with such overwhelming early-stage advantages.

In contrast, various Spirit Bodies are more limited, requiring Cultivation Techniques that are compatible with their physique to unleash their full power.

Moreover, the overwhelming majority of Spirit Bodies are not so powerful, and top-tier Spirit Bodies are always few in number.

Some even have the misfortune of being born with the wrong gender, despite having a Spirit Body, which becomes a shackle or even a disaster.

This is far more unfortunate than having some trivial Spirit Body.

Between the two, each has its pros and cons.

But if given a choice, most cultivators would undoubtedly choose a Celestial Spirit Root.

After all, Cultivation Techniques suited to Spirit Bodies are hard to find, and the early weakness is the hardest to endure.

"The gap between ordinary cultivators and those with top-tier Spirit Bodies is indeed immense."

Lin Chang’an sighed inwardly, unable to suppress a surge of envy.

Though he had a Self-Healing Body, forcibly wielding Sword Formulas was truly painful.

"If the issue with Human-Demon mixed blood could be resolved, wouldn’t her cultivation speed soar?"

Thinking of this, Lin Chang’an glanced at the Sword Servant nonchalantly.

"Very good, it seems this Cultivation Technique suits you well."

"Thank you, Master."

The Sword Servant, having suddenly understood many doubts from cultivation and hearing Lin Chang’an’s praise, hurriedly bowed her head in respectful response.

Lin Chang’an secretly nodded as well, recalling how even the Blood Evil Master possessed a Spirit Body, though unfortunately not as strong.

However, meals are best consumed slowly, and this girl had regained some of her fighting spirit over these two years.

"But I have to delve deeper into understanding this physique and this mysterious black aura."

With this thought, Lin Chang’an narrowed his eyes; the Celestial Spirit Sword Body, Human-Demon mixed blood, and the mysterious black aura.

All these require his investigation.

It seems that as his cultivation grows stronger, he feels increasingly small and ignorant in the mysterious Immortal Cultivation Realm.
