Unbeknownst to the fact that Meirong hadn"t actually left and was just looking at him from far away, Jian Shen who decided to focus on cultivating didn"t let anything else distract him.This was also why the two swords didn"t tell him anything and just let everything happen at their own pace.
Continuously absorbing Soul Essence from around him, Jian Shen didn"t even have to use any items like the Soul Essence Pills which contained large amounts of compressed Soul Essence inside them because the courtyard he was given had an array around it to collect the Soul Essence in the air and acc.u.mulate it inside its confines.
Therefore, all that Jian Shen needed to do was focus on continuing to absorb the Soul Essence around him and wait until he was sure he had enough to create his Nascent Soul.
The Nascent Soul of every cultivator was a very vital and important part of their existence.
After all, it was only this which allowed the cultivators to be considered as an Immortal due to the ability it granted them in escaping their body before it was destroyed and then recreating a new body for themselves.
Thus, as long as the Nascent Soul was strong enough, it could continue existing for a long time without having to worry about disappearing due to the flow of time.
This meant that as long as the cultivator took his time in creating the Nascent Soul and made it as strong as possible, he wouldn"t have to worry about not having enough time to not be able to cultivate in the future.

Yup. Once created the Nascent Soul could no longer be cultivated and made bigger or stronger. And considering that the Nascent Soul would even be split into pieces in the future, the cultivator definitely needed to make a Nascent Soul big enough to withstand all of these and still allow them to live for as long as it needed for them to try and ascend into the Dao Realm.
This was because doing so would grant the cultivators the life span they very much needed. The same way that Jian Shen was gifted with charm when he ascended to the Divine Realm.
The gains, however, wouldn"t be too great because in comparison to the cultivators ascending from the Mortal Realm, the number of cultivators who ascended from the Divine Realm was so much greater in number.
...
Focusing purely on cultivation, Jian Shen didn"t even bother leaving his courtyard and kept on absorbing the Soul Essence around him without showing any signs of stopping soon.
This could be considered as the perks of possessing an Immortal body.
Jian Shen could move and do whatever he wanted for as long as he wanted to without having to eat anything.
Though he would feel a little tired, it was impossible for him to have any troubles in continuing to move just because he didn"t have anything to eat.
All he would need to do was use more Qi than usual when doing anything, and using Qi instead of his physical energy even when doing simple things like walking and raising his hand.
After all, it was impossible for his body to possess any energy inside it when he wasn"t consuming any food.
Spending a total of 97 days all alone inside the courtyard, Jian Shen who possessed an Immortal body looked just like he did on the day he began cultivating without showing any signs that he hadn"t eaten in the last three months.
And now his Middle Dantian contained enough Soul Essence inside it to create a Nascent Soul suitable for him.
Usually a cultivator would only spend a few weeks and at most a month to collect all the Soul Essence he or she needed to create their Nascent Soul.
But for Jian Shen who already possessed a strong soul, and was informed in advance how many pieces he needed to split his soul into in the future, he had no choice but to spend such a long time just acc.u.mulating Soul Essence.
Letting out a long breath after realizing that he finally had enough Soul Essence to create a Nascent Soul, Jian Shen more and more left that this sort of cultivation didn"t suit him at all.
At the same time, he started thinking that it was a pity he wasn"t able to dual cultivate with a woman to obtain the Soul Essence he needed to cultivate.
Still, it wasn"t too bad because he finished acc.u.mulating all the Soul Essence be needed to create his Nascent Soul a few days before the day the fight between him and Xu Long was set to take place.
Once he finished doing this, Jian Shen could continue doing whatever he wanted and enjoy himself for a while before he was needed to continue cultivating again.
Taking a deep breath, Jian Shen who had just opened his eyes once again closed then and started focusing on his Middle Dantian which was filled with Soul Essence.
Looking at all of the clear and transparent smoke which filled his Middle Dantian, Jian Shen with a single though started bringing all of it together and compressed it.
Once all of the Soul Essence was compressed and was starting to look as if the ball he created was made of liquid due to the way it was s.h.i.+ning, Jian Shen started giving the huge orb of Soul Essence a shape.
Having decided in advance what his Nascent Soul should look like, Jian Shen began picturing himself sitting cross-legged with his arms cupped in between his legs.
While this posture didn"t really suit him who most of the time didn"t cultivate in the traditional way, he felt that it was only natural to do this after having spent so long in this posture when absorbing the Soul Essence.
Soon the Nascent Soul which Jian Shen strive so long to create was finished because the troublesome part was only related with collecting the Soul Essence and not turning it into a Nascent Soul.
Therefore, Jian Shen quickly finished the process and obtained a Nascent Soul which from now on would serve as the centre of his existence.
