"I want to go too, but I don't have enough points."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai couldn't help but shake his head.
Although he had a good chance of winning this magic duel, if the four major Daoist academies didn't want to accept him, they could easily reject him by setting a high score threshold.
All he could do now was to perform his best in the duel.
"Don't worry, with your outstanding performance, the four major Daoist academies will definitely be willing to lower the score threshold to accept you."
Qing Nv's words gave Chen Mobai a bit of confidence.
"Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Even if I can't get into the four major Daoist academies, I can still go to the Pure Yang or Tai Yuan academies. I might still be able to achieve Deification in the future."
The ultimate goal of all cultivators on Earth Elemental Star was to achieve Deification.
In front of Qing Nv, Chen Mobai slightly revealed his true nature.
He expressed his desire for the highest realm of the Immortal Gate.
"If your goal is Deification, it's best to practice the Elemental Spirit method from the start."
Upon hearing this, Qing Nv began to seriously advise Chen Mobai.
"Oh, why is that? Isn't it said that among the 84,000 Daoist scriptures of the Immortal Gate, all can eventually converge to the seven Elemental Spirit methods?"
Chen Mobai was a bit puzzled. In his impression, the techniques of the Immortal Gate should be like a pyramid.
The top of the pyramid is the Elemental Spirit method, and the rest are branches derived from it.
But no matter where you start from the base of the pyramid, you should eventually be able to reach the top.
"I heard it from my teacher. The methods in the national library, although based on the seven Elemental Spirit methods, are essentially the paths taken by those geniuses."
"If you want to return to the original path of Deification, after the Elemental Infant stage, you need to spend some time transitioning to the Elemental Spirit method. If they share the same origin, it's not too bad, it's just a waste of a few decades. But if the path is too divergent, you can only forge your own path to Deification, or comprehend the 'Jade Purity Scripture'. It's very difficult."
"But if you have confidence in yourself and are determined to practice the Elemental Spirit method from the start, then after the Elemental Infant stage, you can at least save a few decades to comprehend the Elemental Spirit."
After hearing Qing Nv's words, Chen Mobai thought carefully and found it to be true.
If you are determined to achieve Deification from the start, and lay a solid foundation for this goal during the Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, and Elemental Infant stages, then you will indeed have more confidence when you finally condense the Elemental Spirit.
In this case, the 'Jade Purity Scripture' and 'Pure Yang Scroll' recommended to Chen Mobai by the artificial spirit of the national library among the thirty methods might be based on his goal of Deification.
"My spiritual root talent is average, so the most suitable Elemental Spirit methods for me are these two."
Chen Mobai suddenly realized.
Of the seven major Elemental Spirit methods of the Immortal Gate, the other five have extremely strict requirements for practice, and even those with heavenly spiritual roots may not be able to enter.
In fact, the Pure Yang Scroll was originally like this, only those with a Pure Yang body could practice it. But after the ancestor Yuan Yang tried it himself and achieved the Elemental Spirit, he opened up a postnatal practice method for the Pure Yang body, making it possible for all beings to practice it, which is truly a great merit.
"If you go to the Ju Mang Daoist Academy, you will definitely practice the Longevity Technique. After practicing this technique, it is said that you will remain youthful forever. It's really great for you girls."
Since they were in the cave, Qing Nv took off her mask and hat, revealing her stunningly beautiful face. Chen Mobai couldn't help but sigh when he thought of the Deification technique.
Such a beautiful face should not be aged by time.
"I'm afraid I can't. The Longevity Technique is a Deification method that can only be practiced by those with the three heavenly spiritual roots of earth, water, and wood. I only have the heavenly water spiritual root. If I want to enter, I can only do so after the Elemental Infant stage."
Qing Nv shook her head and revealed a surprising truth to Chen Mobai.
"Only those with the three heavenly spiritual roots of earth, water, and wood can practice it! Where can we find such a person in the Immortal Gate?"
"There are none naturally, but they can be cultivated postnatally. The techniques of the Immortal Gate to enhance and purify spiritual roots were originally created by those great powers in order to practice the Longevity Technique and other Deification methods with strict requirements."
After hearing this, Chen Mobai thought about his own spiritual root attributes and fell silent.
He originally thought that Qing Nv, who started with a heavenly spiritual root, was already at the top level, but even she couldn't practice the Longevity Technique.
Then his spiritual root, which is slightly above average, if he wants to achieve Deification, he can probably only practice the 'Pure Yang Scroll' or the 'Jade Purity Scripture'.
Of course, Chen Mobai could also choose to practice a more ordinary method first, such as the Five Elements Technique.
This basic technique of the Immortal Gate can be practiced up to the Elemental Infant stage.
Then he could switch to the 'Jade Purity Scripture' and comprehend the method of Deification.
But in the more than 6,800 years of the Immortal Gate's history, only one person has achieved the Elemental Spirit by practicing the 'Jade Purity Scripture', and he was hailed as the most brilliant genius in the history of the Earth Elemental Star.
Although Chen Mobai had confidence in himself, he decided not to challenge this difficulty."I should stick to the path of the 'Pure Yang Scroll'. After all, this path has already been paved by the Yuan Yang ancestor. All the difficulties lie in the spirit stones and resources.
For the others in the Immortal Gate, just practicing the Pure Yang Body after birth would already consume half of their lifespan. Those who finally reach the Deification Gate are few and far between.
But for Chen Mobai, with the Tianhe Realm as his backing, as long as he works a bit harder, earning the spirit stones to practice the Pure Yang Body should not be a problem.
When the time comes, he can use the resources of the Tianhe Realm to practice the techniques of the Immortal Gate.
Perhaps, there really is a chance to glimpse the realm of Deification.
Thinking this way, Chen Mobai felt indifferent about whether or not to go to the Four Great Dao Institutes.
"I've made my decision!"
Qing Nv, who was about to bid farewell and leave, suddenly heard Chen Mobai's serious words. She was a bit confused, but quickly reacted, thinking of that aspect. Her pretty face suddenly turned red, and she asked in a coy manner.
"What have you decided?"
"I'm going to the Pure Yang Academy."
"Ah!"
Qing Nv looked disappointed.
Chen Mobai was a bit puzzled by her expression. Was it because he gave up going to the Four Great Dao Institutes, so she was disappointed?
"I want to achieve Deification. The Pure Yang Scroll is the most suitable for me among the seven Deification techniques of the Immortal Gate. Since I'm going to practice this technique, whether or not to go to the Four Great Dao Institutes doesn't matter. After all, the entire Pure Yang Academy of the Immortal Gate has the deepest research on the Pure Yang Scroll, and it's also the Dao field opened by the Yuan Yang ancestor, with the most profound atmosphere."
After hearing Chen Mobai's explanation, Qing Nv put away her disappointment and said something that made the former feel awkward.
"Do you know that the Pure Yang Scroll and the Deification technique of the Dance Instrument Dao Institute come from the same source!"
