Chapter 3381
"Is it that simple?" Fade was a little surprised.
Vincenzo laughed in response. "Silly boy, stop! Otherwise, the vital fetus you created will be rubbish."
"Uh... why?" Fade stopped in a hurry.
Vincenzo smiled and said, "It's easy to directly merge your divine soul energy into Yuan Soul to create a vital fetus. But think about it, many cultivators' Yuan Seals are inhuman things such as knives, spears, halberds, and weapons. What kind of vital fetus will be created if they all do that?"
Hearing Vincenzo's words, Fade suddenly realized that it was true.
The Fetus Refine Realm experts that he'd seen before all had human-shaped vital fetuses.
However, their Yuan Seals were not humans.
Roche, who had escaped, was an example.
His Yuan Seal was the Flaming Octagonal Furnace, but his vital fetus was still in human form.
If Fade had really integrated his divine soul directly into the World Tree to create a vital fetus, it would probably be a tree.
At that time, even if he had a second life, he would not have a good ending if he became a tree!
Thinking of that, Fade could not help complaining, "Master Vincenzo, why didn't you tell me earlier? I almost-"
It seemed that Vincenzo had seen through Fade. He smiled and said, "You are thinking too much. Even if you continue to integrate your divine soul into it, your vital fetus won't become a tree."
"Ah? Doesn't that contradict what you just said? Why are you..." Fade was confused for a moment. He didn't understand what the formation of the vital fetus entailed.
It seemed that Vincenzo was very happy to see Fade stumped. He smiled and said, "Boy, think about it more. What is the essence of the Yuan Seal?" "The essence of the Yuan Seal?" Fade began to ponder.
"The Yuan Seal is a term used by the Earth Yuan Realm. Back when I was still on Earth, this thing was called Elixir Core. It is formed by a martial practitioner who comprehended the martial essence and integrated it into his own body."
"Normally, ordinary people can only comprehend one kind of martial essence, and then use it as the core to refine their own elixir core. However, I'm more special. I comprehended many kinds of martial intent and integrated them into the World Tree, so I formed the World Tree's elixir core, which is now the World Tree Yuan Seal."
"Therefore, in essence, the seal is a combination of one's positive energy and the martial essence of the outside world," Fade said.
Vincenzo said, "That's true. Whether it's one's positive energy or the martial essence of the outside world, it's essentially a kind of energy."
"Since it's made of energy and not real substance, theoretically speaking, even if you directly merge your soul into the Yuan Seal and use it to shape the vital fetus, you can still refine and shape it into a human form. Because the Yuan Seal is not a real substance, but a form of energy."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Fade could understand, but he sensed another meaning in Vincenzo's words. "In theory, it can be completed, but it's not very effective."
Vincenzo said, "That's right. Because most cultivators have a single Yuan Seal, and they don't have a human shape. Even if they rebuilt their vital fetus to form a human shape, the effect won't be good."
"For example, a cultivator who can comprehend stone essence will use stone essence to shape a vital fetus. In the end, the core will inevitably
carry a will as strong stone, whiche
will cause the defense of the vital fetus to be strong, but its movement is slow. Such an effect is not satisfying for many cultivators. Therefore, most cultivators will not use such a simple and unrefined method to shape a vital fetus, but will find another way."
Fade listened carefully, kept thinking, and nodded from time to time.
He somewhat understood what was going on. If he merged his divine soul with the Yuan Seal to form a vital fetus, he could successfully enter the Fetus Refine Realm. However, his vital fetus would have a single characteristic that stood out.
It was like the example Vincenzo had raised. Since the warrior had merged his Yuan seal with stone essence, his defensive power was very strong. When he met a strong enemy, he had to separate his vital fetus to escape.
But the characteristics of the vital fetus were almost the same as the physical body. It could not escape from the enemy's attack. If that was the case, the so-called second life didn't have much value.
On the contrary, if a martial artist focused on changing the speed of the fetus, he might be able to escape and save his life.
Thinking of that, Fade said, "That's why, Lord Vincenzo, cultivators usually build their vital fetus based on their weakness. With that, they can make up for it and enhance their ability to protect themselves."
Vincenzo chuckled and said, "Your understanding is good. Many cultivators do this."
"But, why don't you think a step further?"
"A step further?" Fade pondered.
Vincenzo's tone was sharp. "Why can't you build it based on both your strengths and weaknesses? Why must you choose to build it on your weaknesses?"
"Both!" Fade felt as if his head had suddenly exploded. He seemed to have suddenly understood something.
Indeed, this vital fetus was created by cultivators themselves. Since it was created by the cultivator, then it was naturally the best choice to create a spirit embryo that had no weakness and was strong in all aspects.
"This is almost the instinctive reaction of all cultivators, or human beings!" Fade patted his head as if he was complaining about why he didn't think of such a simple principle. "It should be all-around. Why must I build it on my weakness?"
Vincenzo said, "Many people think the same way."
"Since the formation of a vital fetus is equivalent to the formation of a body with one's own flesh and energy, why not make it into the best and strongest existence?"
"For example, there are some
cultivators whose physiques are ordinary. After cultivating the Fetus
Refine Realm with great
they naturally want to build a
fetus that has a powerful physique. They want their vital fetus to be
comparable to a King Body or
Divine Body. In fact, they have been people who actually succeeded."
Hearing that, Fade couldn't help getting excited. "Yes, I would also think so."
In his excitement, Fade suddenly
thought of something else. "Master Vincenzo, if that's the case, can a cultivator directly abandon his physical body and use the vital fetus as his own physical body to start cultivating again? He might even use the vital fetus to form another original fetus in an endless cycle."
Vincenzo said in a deep voice, "Of course, people have thought of this before. Someone has even done this before. However, I don't need to say much about the difficulty in creating a vital fetus akin to a King Body and Divine Body."
"Secondly, even if you successfully created such a powerful body, it is not a real human body after all. Therefore, after you integrate your divine soul, you will not become a different person. You will understand these things when you reach the Fetus Refine Realm."
"Finally, your worry about someone forming an endless cycle of vital fetuses is not possible. Only the human body can create a vital fetus. The vital fetus itself can't form another vital fetus."
"In short, although the vital fetus can be regarded as the second life of a cultivator, it is almost impossible to really cultivate the vital fetus into another person. Most of the time, the vital fetus is just a cultivator's support and life-saving means. The real power still lies in the original body."
