Cultivating Immortality in Two Realms

Chapter 456 Achieving the Dao of Transformation

"What a terrifying lightning tribulation..."

On Blood Fiend Island, the aftershocks of the previous movement of the Five Elements seemed to have plowed the earth, causing countless mountains to collapse and a field of barren rice to fall.

But compared to this gathering of heavenly tribulations, it seems like child's play.

"All cultivators, leave the island immediately!" Qin Ruxue frowned and quickly gave the order.

The tribulation of transforming into a divine being is, after all, different from others.

Such divine might would terrify a low-level demon beast, potentially scaring it to death!

Relying on its profound cultivation and powerful demonic body, the Bright Moon Demon General didn't need to leave the island. Instead, it simply arrived at the island's edge, silently gazing at the azure-purple hue in the heavens: "Back then... the Palace Master of the Divine Serpent Palace survived the Ninefold Tribulation of Lightning, suffering severe injuries and forced to slumber for hundreds of years."

"Hmm, the purplish-blue color is the Jade Palace Thunder, and there's also the blazing white light. It must be the Jade Pillar Thunder... The Thunder Palace really thinks highly of me." Fang Qing took a deep breath, and illusory golden scales appeared around his body, as if he were wearing a layer of armor, with a sun wheel appearing behind him.

The world was a blanket of white!

In an instant, a white bolt of lightning struck him—it was a "Jade Pillar Lightning"!

The sky was dim, then bright again, three times in a row!

Before Fang Qing could even react, he was struck by three 'Jade Pillar Lightning' strikes. All the golden illusory scales on his body vanished, and even the meridians in his body began to ache faintly.

Then... click!

The purple-blue swirling energy, resembling a menacing dragon, crashed down with a deafening roar. The dragon's sharp claws swept across, instantly revealing charred wounds on Fang Qing's head and chest.

"After the three jade pillar lightning bolts, are there three more jade palace lightning bolts?"

Fang Qing took a deep breath, activating his Undying Body technique. His injuries healed rapidly, the charred areas turning snow-white again, and large amounts of dead skin peeled off. When he was struck by the heavenly lightning, his expression held a hint of euphoria, as if he had directly witnessed the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth!

Even more surprisingly, after venturing into the multi-tiered Thunder Palace, they 'saw' the "Mysterious Thunder" golden throne! So... this is what "Mysterious Thunder" truly looks like?

Just as Fang Qing was lost in his reverie, two more bolts of blue-purple lightning struck down, blasting him deep into the earth.

Boom!

The heavens and earth trembled, as if the very heavens were enraged.

A bolt of lightning struck, its color like jade, its shape like a pillar!

It was the most terrifying Jade Snow Thunder!

As the lightning struck, Fang Qing immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and a large hole was torn open in his chest.

At the same time, a continuous stream of thunderous cultivation was also frantically pouring into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Two more bolts of "Jade Pivot Lightning" struck in succession, thus completing the trials and punishments of the Three Jade Pillars, Three Jade Palaces, and Three Jade Pivots of the Ninefold Tribulation.

The dark clouds dissipated, and the world returned to its clear state.

"Young Master..."

"Island Master..."

The group of cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment. Suddenly, they saw the Water Element Divine Light shoot into the sky, transforming into a dark blue robe that landed on Fang Qing.

"I'm fine, you may do as you please." Fang Qing waved his hand, dismissing Qin Ruxue and the others who wanted to come and congratulate him, and returned to a cave that was still relatively intact. After closing the cave, his expression changed, and one bulge after another appeared on his body, with lightning exploding inside, his flesh charred and blackened, and then quickly regenerating.

He grimaced in pain, "I've really messed up this time. I didn't expect my luck to be so bad; even the Heavenly Pivot Lightning has come."

If one could use various supernatural powers, magic spells, trump cards, treasures, or even heaven-reaching spiritual treasures, one would not be in such a miserable state.

Unfortunately, Fang Qing had to take the lightning bolts head-on in order to "ask the Heavens," so he looked extremely miserable.

Even the primordial spirit transformed from one's own nascent soul is damaged.

He then activated his supernatural powers, combining his innate talent of "Heavenly Manifestation" with his "Undying Body" talent, finally stabilizing his injuries, and his body would occasionally erupt with mysterious mist.

Fang Qing finally let out a long breath, sat cross-legged, and silently organized his acquired cultivation.

The Heavenly Tribulation of Nascent Soul was more terrifying than any Heavenly Tribulation or Pill Tribulation he had ever seen.

But once you get through it, the benefits are just as great.

"My current level of water virtue cultivation is considered profound, even among immortals and envoys."

As for Lei Daoxing, he also surpassed others and has already exceeded the Purple Mansion Perfection stage.

Fang Qing looked inward and saw that his dantian was empty, yet four streams flowed within it, like a hub of water elemental power between heaven and earth.

Those who transform into spirits naturally possess a unique and profound mystery, as their nascent soul transforms into a primordial spirit.

With the power of the primordial spirit, one can draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

He made another hand seal, and the originally formless and intangible 'Primordial Spirit' reappeared, taking the form of a nascent soul in his dantian, but it was no longer an infant form, but a miniature 'Fang Qing' that looked exactly the same.

"After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, I have almost perfected the Stone Sea Technique... The next stage of cultivation..."

Fang Qing silently sensed the heavens and earth and immediately gained a great understanding. His primordial spirit comprehended the heavens and earth, a state known as "unity of heaven and man," and his aura was extremely astonishing!

At the same time, he even transcended the hazy void and saw one brilliant star after another in the thick darkness!

No, those are not "stars", but golden thrones!

The most prominent and dazzling of these is undoubtedly the position of "Ji Water," which is represented by four major imagery: birth, illusion, accumulation, and concealment.

Besides these, there are also [Ji Water] and [Bi Water]?? That's amazing!

My understanding of the Dao of Water Virtue is now progressing by leaps and bounds!

Comprehending supernatural powers is as simple as eating and drinking. With the "Reflection in Water" supernatural power, and after studying the "Ji Water" gold number for several years, one will surely be able to successfully complete the exploration!

Fang Qing opened his eyes and finally understood the advantages of the Qi Refining Path!

The Qi Refining Method is actually an ancient method!

Those who practice ancient methods naturally possess a sorrowful demeanor and supernatural abilities!

For ancient cultivators who practiced the Dao of Qigong, seeking gold and attaining enlightenment after comprehending supernatural powers was as simple as asking about eating and drinking.

Although he can't do that now, his water-based martial arts are incredibly impressive, and he's just as likely to attract the attention of those with the Water Virtue and Metal Rank!

As Fang Qing silently circulated the "Turtle and Crane Longevity Technique," several more Wood and Metal positions quickly became clear.

[Kui Mu], he made another hand seal, and the originally formless and intangible 'Primordial Spirit' reappeared.

Looking at this truly ancient method of breath control, it suddenly seems not so difficult.

The light of the sun brings true joy. Although it is not as high-grade as the "Great Sun Purple" at the beginning, as long as you persevere and absorb the purple energy every day, you can gradually improve the grade of your origin.

After that, I realized that I only needed a hundred years to comprehend the three [Early Return] supernatural powers besides "Calling Spirit Xuan".

Fang Qing rolled up the ancient scroll and tapped his head: "Now, if I set the sensitivity of my talent, or rather my sensitivity to the metal position, to one, then after operating the corresponding Qi Refining Dao technique, there will be an amplification. For example, when operating the 'Turtle and Crane Longevity Technique,' the sensitivity to the wood element metal position is around three. If I operate the 'Sea Devouring Technique,' the sensitivity to [Bell Water], [Ginseng Water], and [Jade Water] is five, while [Bell Water] is ten!"

If you circulate the "Heart Thunder Transmission Scripture", your sensitivity to [Mysterious Thunder] will be eightfold!

The reason why the [Mysterious Thunder] ranks are so different is naturally because they are in the same grotto-heaven and are very close to each other.

Even as Fang Qing was comprehending the mysteries of the Golden Position, he had a vague understanding of it!

If I seek [Ji Water] in the Primordial Heaven, it will inevitably open the cave heaven and connect with the outside world... The same applies to other Daoist lineages, but the [Mysterious Thunder] metal position is different. Seeking it here can even shield one from the outside world and prevent it from being sensed. There is no need to open the cave heaven or interact with heaven and earth, because [Mysterious Thunder] is right here, without needing to seek it outside!

"Alright...it seems this [Mystic Lightning] can indeed be my trump card and killer move!"

The four [Mysterious Thunder] divine abilities are not particularly difficult to master. If one can find a few cultivation techniques related to thunder, even ancient ones, the process can be greatly accelerated...

"So-called supernatural powers are nothing more than manifestations of the imagery of the Golden Position..."

"First seek the Way, then attain it..."

"One finds a method within the Dao, and a technique within the method!"

Fang Qing already possessed profound knowledge, and now, with this breakthrough, he communicated with the gods and heaven and earth, attaining the wonder of the unity of heaven and man, and gaining even greater enlightenment.

"The ultimate goal of cultivation is still 'attaining the Tao'!"

What is the Dao? It is naturally the Golden Position.

The "method" mentioned in the Daoist teachings refers to the lineage of Daoism, the essence of which lies in the method of seeking gold...

As for the wonder of supernatural powers, it is merely the 'technique' of a technique within the law...

"It's a pity that we cultivators must start with techniques, then seek the methods... and finally seek the Dao..."

"There seems to be some explanation for this question of seeking the Way, attaining the Way, and proving the Way..."
