The Immortal Cultivation World Is Too Dangerous: I Return to Earth as a Divine Sage

Chapter 4: Earth Also Has Special Physiques? The Top-Grade Heavenly Charm Physique?

“I thought I’d stumbled upon a supreme technique that would lead to immortality. But it turns out to be a technique that’s practically impossible to cultivate.”

Lying on the sofa, Ye Yang rested with his eyes closed for a while before opening them, revealing a hint of disappointment.

“Forget it. What I gain is my fortune; what I lose is my fate. With the Kunlun Mirror that allows me to traverse time and space, I’ll eventually have a chance to obtain a high-level technique. For now, the priority is to study the Tianhuang Sect ancestor’s cultivation insights, pop pills, and advance my realm.”

After a moment of disappointment, Ye Yang regained his composure.

…

Time flew by like an arrow.

Unknowingly, a month had passed since Ye Yang escaped from the cultivation world back to Earth.

In this month, Ye Yang’s cultivation successfully advanced to the mid-Qi Refining stage, progressing from the early phase of Qi Refining Layer 1 to the early phase of Qi Refining Layer 4.

If the Tianhuang Sect hadn’t been destroyed, Ye Yang’s cultivation speed would have shocked the entire sect.

Breaking through three minor realms in a single month was something even those with single spiritual roots, known as heavenly spiritual roots, couldn’t achieve.

However, for Ye Yang, breaking through only three minor realms in a month left him dissatisfied.

This month, he hadn’t stopped consuming pills.

For ordinary cultivators, taking one Qi Refining pill per month was already considered luxurious. Even for disciples of the Tianhuang Sect, they’d get at most two or three pills a month.

As a Foundation Establishment disciple and true disciple of the sect, Ye Yang was entitled to only one bottle of Qi Refining pills per month—ten pills in total.

Yet in this month, he had consumed over a hundred bottles of Qi Refining pills, more than a thousand pills in total, to achieve these three minor breakthroughs. How could he be satisfied?

After all, he had dual spiritual roots, meaning he faced virtually no cultivation bottlenecks before reaching the peak of Qi Refining. As long as he had enough spiritual energy in his body and followed the breakthrough methods in the Cultivation Insights, he could advance directly.

“This must be the trade-off. Cultivating on Earth is safe, but there’s no ambient spiritual energy. All the spiritual energy needed for cultivation comes from pills. If I were in the cultivation world, with the dual support of ambient spiritual energy and pills, I’d probably need only two or three hundred pills to break through three minor realms and advance from early to mid-Qi Refining.”

On this day, Ye Yang sat cross-legged in cultivation, digesting the energy of a pill. Feeling the meager increase in spiritual energy within his body, he shook his head and thought. Truth be told, during his cultivation, Ye Yang had felt the urge to use the Kunlun Mirror to return to the cultivation world.

He didn’t believe his luck could be that bad. Surely, he wouldn’t return only to be caught in the shockwaves of a battle between powerful cultivators.

If he went back to the cultivation world, his cultivation speed would increase several times over. Moreover, he’d use far fewer pills—potentially saving several times the amount.

But in the end, Ye Yang restrained himself. Since he had decided to hide and cultivate on Earth, he couldn’t casually return to the cultivation world.

Better safe than sorry.

What if he returned and immediately got caught in the middle of a high-level cultivator’s battle?

Slower cultivation speed? More pills needed? So be it. As long as the outcome was the same, it was fine. It just meant spending a bit more time.

Time was something Ye Yang didn’t lack.

With the Kunlun Mirror connecting to the cultivation world, cultivators could achieve the timeless state described in legends: centuries or even millennia passing in the mortal world while they cultivated.

Cultivators had exceptionally long lifespans.

A Qi Refining cultivator, free of illness or disaster, could easily live to 200 years.

Foundation Establishment cultivators could have 500 years of lifespan, up to a maximum of 1,000 years.

Golden Core cultivators started with 1,000 years, with some living up to 3,000 years.

Nascent Soul cultivators began at 10,000 years.

Soul Transformation cultivators started at 100,000 years.

Now that Ye Yang had officially embarked on the cultivation path, he had plenty of time to hide and cultivate on Earth.

…

Ding …

Just as Ye Yang took out a pill to continue cultivating, the television mounted on the wall suddenly emitted a ding sound and automatically turned on. The screen displayed a promotional poster for a show.

Below the poster was a message:

“The hottest talent show in Great Xia, Super Star Show, will begin broadcasting in five minutes. Xiao Wei’s auto-start reminder ensures you don’t miss this exciting program.”

…

“Even though the world background of Great Xia has changed, this forced advertising feature is even more annoying. A turned-off TV can still be forcibly powered on to remind you.”

Looking at the message on the TV, Ye Yang shook his head and thought.

“Hm?”

Just as Ye Yang was about to turn off the TV and continue cultivating, his gaze suddenly fixed on a figure in the poster.

It was a woman—an absolutely stunning woman. Ye Yang’s attention wasn’t drawn by her beauty. Rather, the moment he saw her, he felt a soul-stirring sensation.

To put it bluntly, the instant he saw this woman, his body reacted.

Ye Yang was a cultivator.

Cultivation techniques typically had the effect of suppressing emotions and curbing stray thoughts.

As long as Ye Yang didn’t want his “little brother” to react, even if he were surrounded by hundreds of scantily clad beauties in a debauched setting, he could remain in sage mode, free of desire. But this woman on the poster caused his cultivation technique to fail.

The moment he saw her, his mind was flooded with an overwhelming desire to possess her.

“Special physique. Only a special physique could bypass my technique and ignite such intense desire in me. Could Earth also have special physiques from the cultivation world?”

Ye Yang stared at the woman’s image on the poster, his heart filled with shock.

“Top-grade physique: Heavenly Charm Physique. Women with this physique are natural enchantresses, capable of captivating all beings. As their strength grows, they may develop a charm-based divine ability, causing those weaker than them or those without powerful techniques or soul-protecting methods to fall under their sway, obeying their every command.”

In his shock, Ye Yang immediately took out the Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Record jade slip and reviewed its section on special physiques to identify the woman’s physique.

After some searching, Ye Yang confirmed that the woman’s physique was the top-grade Heavenly Charm Physique.

There were many special physiques that could evoke endless desire, but most required the individual to have embarked on the cultivation path to affect cultivators.

Only one physique could affect a cultivator like Ye Yang, a mere mortal, without having started cultivation: the Heavenly Charm Physique.

The Heavenly Charm Physique was said to be capable of charming even the heavens themselves. If it could charm the heavens, how hard would it be for it to enchant a small-time Qi Refining cultivator like Ye Yang in its mortal stage?
