Jing Ming’s current mentality was very simple. He felt that he could give Xu Wan’er a better home.

Although this mentality looked very similar to the Xu family back then, there was still a certain difference between the two.

What the Xu family wanted was to use Jing Ming to benefit the family on the facade of doing it for his sake.

Jing Ming didn’t want to get anything from Xu Wan’er.

He just felt that as the descendant of an Apotheosis Stage expert, if Xu Wan’er only followed an ordinary cultivator in the Lower Realm who had no fighting spirit, was definitely not a good thing for her.

Putting everything else aside, once Xu Wan’er went to the Upper Realm with him.

Then, she would first be separated from Lu Yuan, who refused to enter the Upper Realm, by a long distance.

Secondly, the problem of lifespan brought upon by the change in cultivation.

According to Xu Wan’er, although Lu Yuan’s talent was not bad, he still seemed to be stuck at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

If he was lucky, he would only be at the Core Formation Stage.

Core Formation Stage in the Lower Realm is pretty good, but it was nothing in the Upper Realm.

However, Xu Wan’er was different.

Although Jing Ming had only interacted with Xu Wan’er for a short time, he could already feel the great potential contained in this girl’s body.

The first potential was Xu Wan’er’s original pure water-attribute spiritual root.

The ultimate spiritual root was very precious in the Lower Realm, but the cultivators in the lower realm did not know that the high potential of the ultimate spiritual root was in fact far more terrifying than they had imagined.

In terms of spiritual energy storage, the ultimate spiritual root could not be compared to other spiritual roots.

However, the ultimate spiritual root had a very terrifying advantage, and that was purity.

This purity was not only in cultivation but also in the learning of divine ability.

Based on history, almost all of the people with the ultimate spiritual root had cultivation not lower than the Apotheosis Stage.

This involved the key to the Apotheosis Stage.

The key to Core Formation Stage was the fusion of the spiritual roots.

The key to Nascent Soul Stage was to condense one’s own primordial spirit.

And the key to Apotheosis Stage was to allow one’s primordial spirit to perfectly fuse with the original golden core.

It allowed the cultivator’s primordial spirit to leave the body even during the day.

Therefore, there was another term for the Apotheosis Stage, which was the Yang God.

On the other hand, another term for the Nascent Soul Stage was Yin God.

It could be said that when a cultivator reached the Apotheosis Stage, their cultivation and divine soul had basically reached their peak.

After which, cultivating the Nascent Fusion Stage involved the power of the Heavens.

Therefore, the Apotheosis Stage could be said to be a huge hurdle for a cultivator.

At this stage, the lifespan of a cultivator would undergo a qualitative change, reaching an astonishing 5,000 years.

This was because the lifespan of a cultivator’s divine soul had been greatly increased.

Although Xu Wan’er’s spiritual root had fused with the Jile Buddha child in the past, this did not affect the attributes of her ultimate spiritual root.

After all, in a sense, Buddhist nature was a power that was outside of the five elements.

Jing Ming’s understanding of this power was more thorough. The Buddhist nature was actually a kind of power similar to the divine soul.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many eminent monks who became Buddhas after enlightenment.

One had to know that many of them were originally ordinary people. Their physique was even inferior to many ordinary adults.

However, after becoming Buddhas, their strength was even much stronger than most cultivators of the same level.

This was because Buddhism is similar to the ‘training of the heart’.

To a certain extent, the power of the heart was the power of the divine soul.

It could be said that cultivating Buddism was equivalent to allowing Buddhist cultivators to start cultivating from where only Nascent Soul cultivators would cultivate in advance.

One could imagine how difficult it was and how slow the cultivation speed was.

But at the same time, once one was able to cultivate successfully, the divine soul of a Buddhist cultivator would be much stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator.

It was precisely because of the uniqueness of Buddhist cultivators that the Small Thunderclap Monastery in the Upper Realm not only had a status similar to the Three Upper Realm Sects, and could even dominate in the western part of the Upper Realm.

Without extraordinary strength, how could they possibly do this?

Therefore, Xu Wan’er, who possessed an extremely high Buddhist nature, had a very good foundation for her divine soul in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

With his position in the Spirit Sword Sect and the relationship between the Spirit Sword Sect and the Small Thunderclap Monastery, he had the ability to find some suitable Buddhism for Xu Wan’er to cultivate from the Small Thunderclap Monastery.

When that time came, coupled with Xu Wan’er’s own ultimate spiritual roots, Jing Ming felt that the Apotheosis Stage might not even be the limit of this girl. After all, the Spirit Sword Sect were sword cultivators. They mainly cultivated offensive abilities and not the heart.

On this point, not only did it not conflict with Buddhism, it even complemented it.

It was just that Sword cultivators generally had a strong killing intent, so cultivating Buddhism was very likely to have the opposite effect.

However, Xu Wan’er’s steady personality made Jing Ming feel that she might not be tainted by the murderous aura of most sword cultivators.

The more Jing Ming thought about it, the more he felt that Xu Wan’er’s future was promising.

However, the more he thought highly of Xu Wan’er, the more he disliked Lu Yuan.

He looked at his own descendant, who seemed to have the hope of becoming a strong cultivator.

Not to mention ordinary pigs, even King Pig might not catch Jing Ming’s interest.

And definitely not a lazy pig who had no initiative and was only willing to stay in the Lower Realm and wait for death.

Unless this guy called Lu Yuan also possessed some kind of shocking talent.

For example, more than five patterned ways of the heaven golden core or some other special bloodline.

Otherwise, Jing Ming felt that compared to teaching Huanxi Sect a lesson, what was more important now was how to cut off the budding feelings between Lu Yuan and Xu Wan’er..
