Most cultivators have a vague desire and an inherent greed and longing for Golden Nature, listening to those who have experienced it talk about its various benefits and mysteries.
Once fully understanding what Golden Nature represents and having the grasp over its insights, Chen Zhixing only wanted to say two words: "Awesome!"
After the Nirvana Ninth Layer comes the tribulation of the Peak, and at the Peak, one steps onto the path to prove their Longevity Tao.
Golden Nature is the Tao Fruit!
The Peak is the Peak; with the Tao Fruit, the Peak becomes Longevity!
Though the Peak is divided into nine layers, those who gain the Golden Nature can already be called Longevity Masters. When the cultivation of the Peak Ninth Layer is perfect, one transforms their existence into a True Monarch.
In fact, the difference between the two is not huge.
Or rather, very small.
There's a little difference in battle prowess, but Longevity True Monarchs crush the Peak Realm, Longevity Masters also crush the Peak, and no one has heard of a Longevity True Monarch instantly killing a Longevity Master, so the difference isn't much.
Therefore, Golden Nature represents Longevity.
To use words from the cultivation novels of Chen Zhixing's past life, the Tao Fruit is the authority, and both the Longevity Master and Longevity True Monarch have authority of the same level, only differing in the magnitude of their dominion.
Since the quality is the same, the gap naturally isn't large.
Chen Zhixing felt this point, which is why he chose to endure fiercely at the Nirvana Realm, also understanding why this realm is called 'Nirvana.'
"It's not about blood rebirth akin to the Phoenix's immortality, but about truly being able to transform and undergo Nirvana rebirth in this realm. Only when this realm is solid can one have the confidence to speak of the future."
Seeing off Chen Zhaosheng, who returned with full harvest, Chen Zhixing looked at his hand that had turned jade-like during this two-year transformation period, feeling a mixed sensation.
Nirvana, once Nirvana is truly achieved, one is no longer human.
At least Chen Zhixing now feels he can be removed from the concept of 'human.'
Ice skin turned jade bones, blood as essence.
Though immortality can't be claimed, this is Longevity.
"With my current body, even if the spiritual qi dissipates after death, it could be buried deep for millions of years without harm, only to be unearthed by the next era's lifeforms and worshipped as a 'mythical specimen'."
"Nirvana is just so; but this is merely a small path. For those like us, the physical body is just like the Nirvana Realm, a transition to the Peak Realm, and very few persist like you to establish a fundamental base of Nirvana for transformation," Chen Zhaosheng said softly, "as for the reason, I guess you don't need me to say it, you already sensed it."
"Hmm, I'm no longer human."
"Not just that, you can no longer have children with normal women, but considering you've already had a child with Xu Qingqing, I wouldn't remind you."
Chen Zhaosheng said calmly, not seeing it as a big deal for a cultivator destined for the Longevity path.
On one's own path to prove Longevity, one secures a minimum lifespan of five thousand years, whereas children, even if they all reach the top of the Peak, only have a lifespan of two thousand seven hundred years.
Therefore, having one child to pass on one's bloodline is enough. To thrive and flourish, just let the son have more descendants, no need to have more children oneself.
If such matters require direct involvement... then one would have to find a non-human woman who has also completed the full Nirvana transformation, to have a slight chance of conceiving.
"What about you, will you complete the full transformation?" At this point, there's no turning back unless he can find a method to transform from god to human and is willing to abandon this body that could be called a path to endless Longevity; otherwise, thinking more is useless.
He has been stripped of human identity!
In cultivation, one cultivates, only to cultivate oneself into reproductive isolation, a bizarre situation none of the transmigrant predecessors have encountered; he might be the first...
It's quite exasperating; he wants to complain to someone, even wants to make others the same as him.
Chen Zhaosheng, the guy who showed up willingly, undoubtedly became Chen Zhixing's 'target to shift resentment.'
"..."
Chen Zhaosheng remained silent, only showing a slight awkward expression when Chen Zhixing looked at him.
Chen Zhixing: "..."
Good man! You're not planning to undergo Nirvana, right?
You damn knew but didn't tell me, just plotting to trick me, right?
Scoundrel!
Unconsciously, Chen Zhixing's gaze towards Chen Zhaosheng became dangerous, wisps of black flame started burning from the scales at the center of his brow, with Sword Intent enveloping the entire Ziwei Mountain surroundings.
The next second, Chen Zhixing in Chen Zhaosheng's eyes seemed to switch to fast-forward mode,
He really seemed intent on acting!
"Tsk... "
Seeing Chen Zhixing really about to act, Chen Zhaosheng quickly shouted, "Don't misunderstand, this is for your own good. The Nirvana Realm itself is unusual, if any ordinary woman carries your child, within three days, she would be drained by the child. When you reach the Peak Realm, even women from the Nirvana Realm can't withstand your offspring; otherwise, why has Ancestor Tianyuan remained single all these years!!!"
Chen Zhixing: "???"
"What's the use of all your babbling? Even if it's all true, is this a reason not to remind me?"
With a bang, he smashed his knee onto Chen Zhaosheng's shoulder, directly pushing his legs into the stone.
