Chapter 342: Chapter 246: Advancement to the Mid-stage of Golden Core, Sky Demon Calamity Body_2

The difference between the two was like that between a regular community college and prestigious universities like Tsinghua and Peking University.

On the surface, they were all universities, but the reality was as different as night and day.

Every cultivator with a Heavenly Spirit Root was a pride of the heavens.

As long as they didn’t die, they were certain to become Golden Core cultivators, and could even ascend to become Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Essentially, more than ninety percent of the surviving Nascent Soul Ancestors had Heavenly Spirit Roots.

The minority were those with Upper Grade Spirit Roots.

As for the Nascent Soul Ancestors with Mid Grade and Lower Grade Spirit Roots, there were none at all.

This was the ruthlessness of the world of cultivation.

Despite many claiming that aptitude doesn’t determine everything, when looking at the results, all high-ranking cultivators were each and every one a genius.

None of them were dullards.

Unless one had exceptional encounters, dreaming of competing with peerless geniuses was sheer lunacy.

“I really need to find a partner with a Heavenly Spirit Root.”

“With the help of a partner who has a Heavenly Spirit Root, the rate at which my Spiritual Root aptitude improves will be incredibly fast.”

“I estimate that after some time, I’ll possess a Fourth Grade Spiritual Root aptitude, this is already the top aptitude for geniuses with Mid Grade Spirit Roots.”

Zhou Sui clenched his fist, feeling very excited.

To be honest, after cultivating to the Golden Core Realm, he increasingly felt the drag from his Spiritual Root aptitude on him.

It was as if a race car had been fitted with a tractor engine.

If he didn’t speedily improve his Spiritual Root aptitude, it would likely also slow down his cultivation speed.

Of course, he wasn’t going to deliberately strive to do this.

After all, his life span was exceedingly long, it didn’t matter at all even if his cultivation progress was a little slow.

Going with the flow was the way of cultivation.

He preferred to cultivate in a manner akin to a canal forming when water comes.

“My Divine Consciousness Power has also improved.”

A thought flashed through Zhou Sui’s mind, he sensed that compared to before, his Divine Consciousness Power had received a great boost, and the range of his Divine Consciousness Coverage had now extended to three hundred miles.

Compared to before, it was far too powerful.

If one were to add on the assistance from the Heart’s Eye Power, the coverage range of his Heart’s Eye was now three thousand miles.

Presumably when it came to the coverage range of Divine Consciousness, no Nascent Soul Cultivator could surpass him.

“The current me should count as unrivaled within the Golden Core Realm.”

“Even if not considered unrivaled, not many can be compared to me.”

Zhou Sui clenched his fist, feeling the abundant mana inside his body, his formidable physique, the extraordinary Divine Consciousness Power. In short, not many Golden Core Cultivators could compete against him.

Even at the time when ancient Divine Beasts were in the Golden Core Realm, it was merely thus far.

Of course, he was still a very low-profile person, he wouldn’t go around provoking trouble.

After all, there were still many cultivators who could kill him.

Such as those Nascent Soul Ancestors, or even mysterious and elusive God Transformation cultivators.

If he encountered these monsters, he would more likely than not be doomed.

After all, if he really did confront those monsters, they wouldn’t show mercy, nor would they spare his life, these old monsters were experts in bullying the weak and depending on one’s realm to oppress others.

Often Nascent Soul Cultivators of the same realm seldom fought to the death, what was frequently witnessed was a Nascent Soul ancestor infuriated and massacring an entire city, continually bullying the weak.

Anyway, once they reached their realm, if they could bully the weak they would.

If they couldn’t bully the weak, they would run. They wouldn’t fight with you to the death.

So he was still very cautious.

Without reaching the level of being unrivaled, one couldn’t act rashly.

If he encountered some Nascent Soul Ancestor without any sense of justice, he’d be doomed.

They would show no civility towards you.

“The power of my Gu Insects has also improved.”

Zhou Sui also sensed his Gu Insects, with the advancement of his cultivation, they had also ascended, each of them had ascended a minor realm, their abilities had also improved quite a bit.

The power of Clone Gu in particular, after advancing to the Middle Grade of the third stage, could cultivate two hundred and eighty-eight clones.

The quantity of clones was numerous, it could assist him in performing more tasks.

Clearly, with the improvement in power of the Gu Insects, his combat strength also improved greatly.

“Hmm.”

At this time, Chu Dieyi slowly opened her beautiful eyes. After a night of hardship, she finally woke up.

Seeing her current situation, her pretty face involuntarily flushed.

She hadn’t expected herself to do such daring things last night.

Setting her sight on a man was one thing, but she had actually taken the initiative to push herself on him.

If her fellow sect sisters from the Sky Demon Sect discovered this, they would certainly laugh at her.

But all of it was worth it.

At this moment, she used the art of Heaven’s Gaze, looked at her own luck, and immediately discovered that the misfortune on her body seemed to have completely dissipated, being replaced by a rich luck.

Originally, she had a calamity-ridden body, if she attempted to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm, she would undoubtedly fail the Heart Devil and Heaven Thunder Tribulation.

She would definitely encounter divine punishment and die under the Heavenly Tribulation.

That’s why her master told her before that her opportunity to form a Nascent Soul lay outside and not within the sect.

But now, she saw the hope of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation for herself.

That is to say, it was the man before her eyes who helped her survive her calamity and allow her to naturally advance to the Nascent Soul.

The so-called art of Heaven’s Gaze was a unique skill, using it could allow one to see the luck of the cultivators.

However, to learn this skill, one must have unique talent.

Either being heavily favored by luck or having a calamity-ridden body could enable one to learn it.

Her Sky Demon Calamity Body brought her great misfortune.

That’s why she was able to learn this skill.
