Chapter 737: Original Power Interpretation

Isis was startled and quickly moved to help the elder to his feet. After all, this old man, in his prime, was a top-tier figure, even capable of surpassing Fenghuo Wuji.

However, the elder did not rise. Instead, an invisible, unique aura condensed around his body, forcefully pushing away all the power from Xu Yang and the other two, making it impossible for them to approach him in the slightest.

"Please accept my clan's apology. If not for our sudden intervention back then, your father would not have met such a tragic end. After all, he was so brilliant in his prime."

Isis's expression suddenly turned solemn. She looked deeply at the elder and said, "I formally accept your apology. If you truly feel regret for the past and wish to make amends, then please grant our captain one request. Whatever he asks of you, you must do your best to fulfill. This will clear the past grievances between our two families."

Isis's words utterly astonished Xu Yang and Little Hua, who stood beside her.

"Empress, you must be very careful. This is a blessing unique to your family; you must not hand it over to me so casually. I cannot accept your proposal."

Isis said nothing more, her face remaining calm as she looked at the elder.

"To be honest with you, Senior, we actually came here, entrusted by the Prince of the Ancient Xia Dynasty, to investigate the mysterious seal in the Ten Directions Valley.

We unexpectedly stumbled upon it, broke the seal, and entered the River of Heavenly Watch. Our fundamental purpose in making a deal with that prince was to find the cultivation method for primordial power and uncover the great secret of this lineage."

"If you truly wish to atone for something, why not accept the three of us as your disciples and impart the cultivation method of primordial power to us.

To be frank, the God Realm is currently in extraordinary turmoil. After my father stepped down from his divine position, a series of malicious outsiders reshuffled the entire God Realm. I, too, was cast down from my divine position and imprisoned for hundreds of thousands of years during that time.

We need a cultivation method for primordial power, hoping to find other ways to enhance our strength. After hearing what you've said, I can almost certainly conclude that the Supreme Purity Qi Path you created can surpass the energy systems of all the heavenly worlds. If we can obtain such a heaven-defying method, restoring order to the God Realm will be within reach."

"More importantly, since you mentioned your child integrated half of the Supreme Purity Qi Path's power into the Wind God Token, how can we dismantle the Investiture of the Gods if we lack technical understanding of primordial power? If we cannot, then we will be forever imprisoned within Night Cold Mountain."

The elder looked deeply at the three in front of him, and finally nodded solemnly.

"Very well, since you have such a desire, I will impart the cultivation method of primordial power to you and guide you into this entirely new cultivation domain.

However, the Supreme Purity Qi Path is an unsurpassed true method that I created myself. It requires cultivation to the Four Extremes level to achieve enlightenment. But now, after the Battle of Yinghuo hundreds of thousands of years ago, the eleven Great Heavenly Saints jointly crippled my innate spiritual gate, making it impossible for me to cultivate the Supreme Purity Qi Path again.

Therefore, all I can do for you is to introduce you to it and open the door to primordial power. However, I cannot transmit the most powerful Supreme Purity Qi Path to you. Whether you can achieve such a heaven-defying fortune will depend on how you navigate your future path."

Xu Yang and the other two immediately stood up and respectfully clasped their fists towards the elder.

"Senior, rest assured. If I can ever regain this unsurpassed inheritance in the future, I will certainly ensure the Supreme Purity Qi Path flourishes."

The elder nodded with satisfaction.

"Very well. Imparting this cultivation method of primordial power to you will, first, fulfill a wish of mine. Second, the three of you are pure and kind-hearted. I can also sense the aura of angels from the heavenly worlds on you, which suggests you are the most perfect life forms in this world system, far beyond what those profit-seeking, despicable individuals can control."

"Weighing all factors, I have made this decision. From now on, within ten days, I will teach you everything I can guide you on. But you must also promise me that once you've learned, you will immediately leave the River of Heavenly Watch and under no circumstances disturb our peaceful lives again.

As an old man, I have long seen through everything and regard life and death as inconsequential. However, my clan members need a sufficiently safe living environment. After you've learned, I also hope you will eliminate the troubles left by the broken seal."

Xu Yang nodded gently, "Please rest assured, Senior. We will certainly handle these matters appropriately."

With these matters settled, the elder had no further concerns. He immediately led Xu Yang and the two others to a very hidden cave within the mountain. Unbeknownst to them, this cave was where the elder used to cultivate.

The so-called primordial power is essentially the essence of power extracted from every cell within a living body.

Part of this essence is used to maintain bodily functions, while another very large portion typically remains dormant. In the terminology of our primordial power cultivation system, this is called "sealed slumber."

These power essences, hidden within cells, are in fact the most fundamental life origin of your continent.

However, within the Heavenly Systems, cultivators here only know how to absorb elemental energy from the external environment to strengthen their physical bodies. They do not know how to directly develop and utilize the dormant life essence that living beings inherently possess.

Little do they know, the value of developing and utilizing externally absorbed elements is far inferior to the life essence within one's own body. I have conducted research on the utilization ratio, and it is roughly one to ten million.

In other words, for the same developmental investment, the power that can be released from developing the "sealed slumber" life essence within one's own cells is ten million times greater than that from developing external elemental energy!"

Upon hearing the elder's explanation, Xu Yang and the other two were stunned once more.

"No wonder your son was able to defeat my father so easily back then. Cultivating primordial power inherently grants a massive advantage."

As soon as the Empress finished speaking, Xu Yang seemed to have a different idea.

"Senior, to be honest, we have already made contact with the five major imperial factions currently imprisoned in Night Cold Mountain. Taking the Prince of the Ancient Xia Dynasty as an example, although his strength is considered first-rate within the Heavenly Systems, when I fought him, he did not display an overwhelming performance.

Considering his cultivation time and status within his tribe, the depth of his primordial power cultivation should be profound. If we compare it according to this ten million-fold ratio, I should be like an ant before him. Yet, the reality was not so?"
