This place isn't within the sect, and there's a risk of being attacked by the Demon Sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the mention of the Demon Sect, Yun Miaoqing's expression turned tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an ordinary disciple like her, the name of the Northern Jianghu's giant, the Primordial Saint Demon Sect, was quite intimidating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Southern and Northern Jianghu had always been at odds, not just coexisting uneasily but practically being mortal enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lü Yang paid no attention to the changes in the outside world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he was still examining himself: \"Interesting.

They start with innate divine abilities, gathering four innate divine abilities first, and then condensing their life essence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But most Immortal Spirits can't even reach the stage of condensing life essence—they either emerge prematurely or perish midway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This imagery is quite profound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we must compare, it's like a ten-month pregnancy. Immortal Spirits receive nourishment from heaven and earth, gather four innate divine abilities, and finally awaken their life essence, separating from the mother body.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this process, the four innate divine abilities are bestowed by heaven and earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the four bestowed innate abilities happen to align with a particular fruit position, and the life essence is awakened, one can directly begin seeking the Golden Core, aiming to occupy that fruit position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Immortal Spirits are practically creations of heaven and earth, specifically designed to occupy fruit positions.
