Chapter 440 Spiritual Arts, My Forte
After Feng Qianye explained the key to breaking through the Nascent Soul realm to Su Hao, Su Hao had a clear understanding of the entire process of breaking through the Nascent Soul realm.
For him, the most difficult part was still the cultivation of ‘Spiritual Consciousness.’ With the experience of cultivating consciousness before, Su Hao originally thought that cultivating Spiritual Consciousness would take at least a year or two of sitting quietly, so he was mentally prepared for it.
Unexpectedly, the cultivation of Spiritual Consciousness ended in just twenty days. To be honest, this was beyond Su Hao’s expectations.
The next step, cultivating Spiritual Arts, was much simpler.
The key to breaking through the Nascent Soul realm was to form a specific structure with spiritual power, permeate every corner of the body, and gradually replace some of the body’s tissues.
In other words, the physical body had to gradually transform into a spiritual body.
The proportion of spiritual flesh in the body would increase slowly over time, reaching about thirty percent, and then the body would undergo transformation. At this point, one would successfully break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
The key to transformation was time.
Under normal metabolic rates, it takes about seven years for the substances that make up the body to be replaced.
To permeate the body with spiritual power and replace some tissues, it couldn’t be done by forcefully stuffing and exchanging. It had to be done step by step, using spiritual power to replace some tissues as the body metabolized and exchanged substances.
In other words, with the help of Spiritual Consciousness, this process was not difficult. It just needed to be visualized and practiced according to the methods in the “Spiritual Arts.”
All that was needed was seven years, following the body’s metabolism, to complete this infiltration process.
However, seven years was just the longest time. This time could be shortened. The “Spiritual Arts” contained methods to accelerate body metabolism, which could shorten the process to five years or even four years.
But it still took five years!
Regarding this, Su Hao just smiled slightly, “Five years? That’s still too long! Metabolizing and exchanging substances? This is something I’m familiar with. Isn’t the [Child of Fate] the best at this?”
Generally, cultivators used the methods in the “Spiritual Arts” to accelerate metabolism. They could reduce the original seven-year time to five years or even four years. Su Hao estimated that using his [Child of Fate] abilities to exchange, the expected time would only be a month!
This was still with him deliberately slowing down the speed to prevent mistakes. Otherwise, with adequate nutritional substances, he could complete the exchange process in just fifteen days.
“Strive to break through to the Nascent Soul realm completely within a month!”
Su Hao arranged his breakthrough plan first, then sent a message to Yashan, “Yashan, I’m going to seclude myself for a while next. During this time, I’ll need a large amount of food, so please put aside whatever you’re doing and prepare plenty of nutritious food to be placed on the dining table in the restaurant, and try not to let it run out.”
Soon, Yashan replied, “Understood, Boss Wei. Starting from when?”
Su Hao thought for a moment and replied, “Starting from nine o’clock tomorrow morning.”
Yashan: “Got it!”
After Yashan replied to Su Hao’s message, he immediately went to find three students with a faint smile on his face and said, “I announce that starting from tomorrow, the three of you will be on vacation for an indefinite period. During this time, focus on your cultivation. When it’s time to return to duty, I will contact you.”
Feng Cheng, Feng Yuer, and Yun Qingping were stunned. “Vacation?”
Then they glanced at each other, seeing the look of confusion in each other’s eyes.
What’s a vacation?
…
Su Hao entered the pinball space, his body manifested, and he instructed Little Light, “Little Light, simulate the metabolic infiltration process of practicing the ‘Spiritual Arts.’”
Little Light immediately replied, “Yes, Mr. Su Hao. Currently lacking corresponding data, the automatic deduction simulation function has been activated. Please wait.”
“Retrieve daily metabolic data…”
“Retrieve spiritual power characteristic data…”
“Retrieve corresponding tissue data…”
“Establish data analysis model…”
“Simulate spiritual power substitution of tissues…”
…
“Data collection completed, beginning deduction.”
After Little Light sorted out all the data, Su Hao ordered, “Speed up the simulation, time ratio 1:10000.”
Then Little Light simulated the practice of the ‘Spiritual Arts’ at a speed ten thousand times faster than normal, expecting results in six hours.
Su Hao kept watching beside him. Three hours later, he frowned.
At this moment, Little Light reported, “Respected Mr. Su Hao, during the simulation halfway through, some bodily tissues necrotized, losing corresponding functions. Details as follows…”
“Would you like to simulate again?”
After quickly browsing the simulation results, Su Hao pondered, “According to Little Light’s simulation, under normal circumstances, it’s a failure, impossible to use spiritual power to replace body tissues, but in reality, it succeeded!
So it can be confirmed that the key to success lies in the factors Little Light cannot simulate, which are the visualization methods during the practice and the power of consciousness. It seems that I need to try practicing for a few more days, let Little Light collect enough reference data, and then deduce it to have value.”
Su Hao instructed, “Add the factor of [Child of Fate] to repair necrotized tissues and automatically simulate again.”
Su Hao then designed a follow-up simulation plan, such as adding the factor of [Child of Fate] to accelerate metabolism, and then exited the pinball space.
Sitting cross-legged with closed eyes, he quickly entered the state of cultivation.
“First, familiarize myself with the characteristics of the current spiritual power. I always feel like I’ve been making big strides in my recent practice, which could lead to trouble! Making big strides is actually fine, as long as my legs are long enough… Hmm, let’s make my legs a bit longer first.”
Cultivating long legs in immortality refers to conducting comprehensive data analysis and improving overall control capabilities!
And this is what Su Hao excels at.
The next day, everything was ready.
Su Hao ate a large amount of food, stored up materials, then sat cross-legged and began to enter a state of cultivation.
“The first step is to construct a special spiritual power structure, this special structure resembles nanorobots, and is called the spiritual worm; the second step is to transport the spiritual worms throughout the body, this is simple, just need to integrate the spiritual worms into the blood, the blood can transport them throughout the body; then the third step is to adjust the state of ‘spiritual consciousness’ and visualize the spiritual body…”
After just an hour of experimentation, Su Hao found the key tricks and officially entered the state of cultivation.
His purpose in this cultivation was to provide Little Light with sufficient cultivation data and then simulate the cultivation process to derive results.
For this reason, Su Hao began to accelerate this process like crazy, providing feasible solutions.
After two hours of formal cultivation, Su Hao began to control the regenerative ability of [Child of Fate]’s flesh and blood, speeding up the body’s metabolism.
Super-slow metabolism for one hour of cultivation, slow metabolism for one hour, medium metabolism for one hour…
In this way, Su Hao supplemented materials while controlling the metabolism speed, layer by layer accelerating, faster and faster, and at each speed level, stopping for an hour to allow Little Light to collect enough data for subsequent deduction.
Two days later, Su Hao stopped his cultivation, stood up to stretch his stiff muscles and bones, then entered the pinball space and instructed Little Light to simulate the cultivation of the Nascent Soul spirit technique.
Three days later, Su Hao exited the pinball space, twisted his neck, making cracking sounds, with a smirk on his lips.
“It’s a success! The plan is set, next is to wildly accelerate the cultivation of spiritual arts!”
“No need for a month, twenty days will be enough!”
“Hey! So-called Nascent Soul stage cultivators are nothing more than this!”
After three days of repeated simulations, confirming the feasibility of the acceleration plan, Su Hao designed a complete set of cultivation plans for the “Spiritual Arts” for himself, using 120 times the speed for metabolism to complete the penetration of spiritual power.
After another round of heavy eating and replenishing nutrients, Su Hao once again entered the state of cultivation. Next, he would continue to cultivate for twenty days straight to break through the Nascent Soul stage!
To achieve “Spiritual Consciousness” took less than twenty days in total, and to achieve a spiritual body took less than thirty days.
In other words, after obtaining the complete version of the Wind Meridian’s Nascent Soul Heart Method and Spiritual Arts, Su Hao was expected to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in less than fifty days.
Compared to other cultivators who often spend twenty years, Su Hao’s speed, if openly disclosed, would be unbelievable to anyone.
Except for Yashan and Feng Cheng.
This speed, in the eyes of other cultivators, was absolutely impossible, and might even lead to defending the “correct cultivation time” to the death.
As for the promise to Feng Qianye to report back to her every six months…
Su Hao just hoped she could withstand the blow of things spiraling out of control.
