Chapter 35 Peak of True Immortal
Chapter 35 Peak of True Immortal
True immortals refine illusion into reality and build an immortal body.
Breaking through to the peak of True Immortal is not simply about accumulating magical power, but rather about unifying the four elements of Dao foundation, magical power, Dao heart, and opportunity, a process of quantitative change leading to qualitative change.
Mo Yuan possesses a powerful physique, with pure ancestral energy suppressing his internal organs. Moreover, he cultivates the ancestral energy scripture step by step, ensuring a solid foundation for his Dao and giving him the confidence to break through to the peak of True Immortal.
Now, the magical power in his meridians has already reached the state of perfect circulation, and his magical power is like a river. He is only one step away from the bottleneck of the peak of the True Immortal realm.
In terms of his Daoist heart, he was flawless, with nothing to criticize.
First, one crosses the vast ocean and the Northern Sea Continent to reach Qilin Cliff, tempering one's sincere desire for the Dao. Then, one listens attentively to the last words of the First Qilin to understand what it means to strive for the Dao and what it means to have no regrets. Finally, one comprehends one's own Dao, cuts off illusions, and firmly establishes one's path.
Obey the will of Heaven and value propriety; follow the trend and act accordingly to seize opportunities!
This is Mo Yuan's way of surviving in this primordial world.
He will follow the laws of Heaven to benefit all living beings, and he will also follow his heart and seek opportunities with the trend of the times. This may seem like going with the flow, but isn't it a safe path?
As for opportunities, Mo Yuan possesses two innate spiritual treasures, the Qilin Seal and the Qian Yuan Pagoda, as well as four acquired spiritual treasures, the Taihao Flying Knife, the Water Element Pearl, the Primordial Mirror, and the Five Virtues Brush. In addition, he also has the fortunes of the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo and the Hidden Bamboo Willow.
Therefore, if Mo Yuan doesn't reach the peak of True Immortal, who will?
Mo Yuan lay prostrate on the enlightenment futon, his spirit and energy reaching an unprecedented level. He wandered through the void, comprehending the secrets of heaven, and fully circulated the Earth Dao Ancestral Qi Scripture within his body.
A hazy radiance enveloped him, a sacred and auspicious phenomenon unique to the Qilin clan. A trace of righteous energy also appeared in his chest, bringing his Dao heart into an unprecedented state of tranquility.
A wise person judges actions, not intentions!
Mo Yuan repaired the primordial earth veins, inherited the funeral rites of the human race, and wrote about the past, present, future, and all things in the primordial world. The initial intentions of these actions and deeds were indeed somewhat selfish, but the results were ultimately good.
This is also why the Heavenly Lord bestowed Heavenly Merit upon him and showed him favor!
Inside the Ta Yun Mansion, the Taoist atmosphere was peaceful and harmonious.
The Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo was refining the vine heart, absorbing a massive amount of law fragments and earth essence, and the aura it exuded became increasingly terrifying. Meanwhile, bolts of lightning evolved in the bamboo forest, and a treasure array gradually took shape.
Earth (戊) forms the foundation, Wood (乙) forms the veins, and Thunder (雷霆) forms the pivot. The three elements interact and transform with each other, resulting in numerous variations.
This formation is called the Thunder Creation Myriad Phenomena Formation. It will be fully revealed once the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo becomes a superior innate spiritual root. At that time, it will possess the power to slay demons and control all things in the universe.
Mo Yuan did not notice that after he entered into cultivation, the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo underwent a strange transformation. The bamboo forest that originally covered tens of thousands of miles quietly began to disappear, and all the energy and essence went towards the mother bamboo.
The world changes rapidly, and time flies by.
Nearly a century has passed, and Mo Yuan's spirit has become increasingly profound and complete. Only when a muffled sound appeared within his body and a vast and boundless magical power surged wildly through his meridians did he slowly open his eyes.
Everything went smoothly and without any obstruction.
Mo Yuan's cultivation had reached the peak of True Immortal. Behind him, a cloud of immortal light and auspiciousness naturally emerged. Within the cloud, there were phenomena such as golden lamps floating and colorful lotuses appearing, while his body was completely free of any turbid energy.
Mo Yuan clearly sensed that after reaching the peak of True Immortal, his foundation had increased dozens of times. Both his magical power and his primordial spirit had been enhanced compared to before.
Moreover, he sensed the impending tribulation of the Golden Immortal.
"Is there only one Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo left?"
Soon, Mo Yuan noticed the changes within the Ta Yun Mansion. He saw that the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo, which covered tens of thousands of miles of land, had all disappeared.
Instead, in the very center of Tayun Mansion, a bamboo about a thousand feet tall appeared, its entire body a purple-gold glazed color, with runes of the laws of thunder, earth, and wood flowing on it.
"A superior-grade innate spiritual root has been achieved!"
"It turns out that the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo had been frantically propagating its offspring to absorb the Qi of Earth and the Qi of Dark Yellow. In the process of advancing to a superior innate spiritual root, those offspring transformed into a continuous source of energy to help it break through."
Mo Yuan examined the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo and murmured to himself.
When the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo was born, it was already a mid-grade innate spiritual root. It spent countless years accumulating its essence, and now, thanks to the merits it has gained from the Heavenly Dao and many opportunities, the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo has finally washed away its impurities and undergone a transformation.
After becoming a superior innate spiritual root, the leaves of the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo are surrounded by silver lightning, containing the essence of Earth, Wood, and innate thunder liquid. When it moves without wind, the light thunder rumbles, which has the effect of calming the soul.
After using his divine sense to perceive it, Mo Yuan learned about the profound transformation of the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo.
The resulting Purifying Thunder does not harm the primordial spirit and true soul, but has the effect of purifying the mind and eliminating inner demons and evil spirits.
Although Mo Yuan's Dao heart is firm and he will not develop inner demons, the Purifying Thunder combined with the Enlightenment Futon can produce the miraculous effect of sudden enlightenment.
Furthermore, the Thunder Creation Myriad Manifestations Array has already been created. This is a treasure array that the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo can evolve. Any demons or evil spirits that enter this array, even if their cultivation level has reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, will be reduced to ashes.
Because it is a superior innate spiritual root, the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo can suppress the fortune of Qilin Cliff.
If Qilin Cliff were to encounter a catastrophe such as an invasion by demons, it could use it to communicate with the celestial thunder and fire outside the primordial world, and use its overwhelming power to cleanse everything within millions of miles around it.
However, the price of triggering the Heavenly Thunderfire is that the essence of the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo is damaged. At best, it will take thousands of years to recover; at worst, its grade will drop, and its spiritual essence will dissipate, turning it into a material for refining weapons.
However, in Mo Yuan's view, the most useful part of the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo to him at the moment is the thunder pool, which is several tens of feet long, at the very top of the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo.
With a slight movement, Mo Yuan appeared high in the sky, his eyes filled with joy.
The final change of the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo was the formation of this Thunder Pool at its top, which was filled with innate thunder liquid. Every drop could temper the body and refine the magic power. Refining it could help him gather pure ancestral energy in his limbs.
Mo Yuan channeled his magic power, and a drop of innate lightning liquid flew out from the lightning pool and was then absorbed into his body.
In an instant, countless bolts of lightning struck him from all directions, and the energy from the innate lightning liquid enveloped him, his eyes even turning a faint silver light.
After absorbing the energy of this drop of innate lightning liquid, the lightning divine patterns on Mo Yuan's limbs emitted a dazzling light, and a desire arose within him, as if he wanted to devour all the innate lightning liquid in the lightning pool.
Without any hesitation, Mo Yuan began to circulate the Earthly Dao Ancestral Qi Scripture again. He wanted to use the innate thunder liquid in this thunder pool and the Wutu essence in the Tayun Mansion to try to condense pure Earthly Dao Ancestral Qi in his limbs.
Mo Yuan found joy in what seemed like tedious, boring, and repetitive tasks.
Drops of innate lightning liquid began to be refined by Mo Yuan, and the essence of Wu Earth and the Xuanhuang Qi were also absorbed by Mo Yuan, and he fell into cultivation again.
In the blink of an eye, more than a hundred years have passed.
Previously, when Mo Yuan condensed pure ancestral energy in his liver and spleen, it didn't take this long. However, the time and resources required to condense pure ancestral energy in his right forelimb were beyond his expectations.
The innate lightning liquid in this lightning pool was almost completely drained, and the essence of the Earth element, the Xuanhuang energy, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth were also consumed in countless quantities. He only felt that his right forelimb was hundreds of times stronger than before.
Using his divine sense to examine his body, he discovered that the bones, flesh, and meridians of his right forelimb all exuded divine power, and the source of all this was that wisp of pure ancestral energy carrying thunder.
Compared to the purity of the five strands of pure ancestral energy in the five internal organs, this strand of pure ancestral energy is like a thunderous divine mountain born from chaos.
It emitted liquid lightning like molten gold, with clusters of purple thunderclouds suspended above it, and continuous waterfalls of lightning descended as Mo Yuan's blood flowed.
"If the Qilin Sky-Treading Strike is used with the right forelimb, I wonder how powerful it will become? Carrying the might of thunder and containing the power of thunder, if this wisp of pure ancestral thunder energy is sacrificed, even a Golden Immortal would be instantly reduced to ashes."
"However, I can't be too wasteful. Condensing this wisp of pure ancestral thunder energy has exhausted the accumulation of the Pure Heart Golden Thunder Bamboo. It will take at least two or three hundred years before that thunder pool can be filled with innate thunder liquid again."
"In that case, it would take over a thousand years to possess the pure and authentic ancestral energy of thunder in all four limbs. But I have other things to do, so there's no rush!"
Mo Yuan was not in a hurry to achieve results; he spoke slowly and calmly.
Since returning to Qilin Cliff, he has been cultivating with great eagerness. His cultivation level has naturally reached the peak of True Immortal. His five internal organs and right forelimb all have pure Dao Ancestral Qi. He has also comprehended the divine power of Cangbi Binding the Eight Desolations.
For a long time to come, he wanted to focus his energy on the art of weapon crafting and alchemy. At the same time, he planned to visit Master Yu Ding and Master Du E after the Qilin Wood bore Qilin Fruit.
These two fellow practitioners have given him so much help that he can only express his gratitude and strengthen their connection by visiting them more often.
As for Huanglong Zhenren, Zhao Gongming, and Jinguang Shengmu, Mo Yuan did not find a suitable reason to visit them, so he could only wait for another opportunity in the future.
After all, Master Yu Ding gifted him a jade slip containing the basics of array formation, weapon crafting, and alchemy, and treated him as a true junior brother, demonstrating his high moral character, respect, and kindness.
The True Man of Du'e gave him the alchemical texts compiled by the Sage of Taiqing. Later, the Sage of Taiqing enlightened Shan Li and the other two, making him the Heavenly Venerable of the Nine Netherworlds. Therefore, he and the True Man of Du'e had to become good friends.
of course!
Mo Yuan would ask Jade Cauldron Immortal to deliver some Qilin Fruit or other rare and precious materials to Yellow Dragon Immortal, Zhao Gongming, and Golden Light Holy Mother, so that he would not appear to be impolite or forget these three fellow Daoists.
After figuring out what he needed to do, Mo Yuan began a leisurely life that lasted for seven or eight hundred years.
First, they went to Yaoguang Peak to collect the Moonlight Divine Water condensed from the Youhuang Willow, and then used a large amount of Youhun Grass and other immortal herbs and flowers to refine hundreds of Tongxuan Pills.
With the Moonlight Divine Water and the Profound Enlightenment Pill, he experienced both pain and pleasure, as both his primordial spirit and divine consciousness were slowly improving.
Every two or three hundred years, he would return to Tayun Mansion to absorb the innate lightning liquid, and gradually his left forelimb and two hind limbs all possessed the pure earthly ancestral energy of lightning.
Unfortunately, he did not choose to immediately use the essence of Wutu and the Xuanhuang Qi to condense pure ancestral Qi in his eyes, even though according to the records of the ancestral Qi Scripture, almost all the Qilin clan creatures chose this path.
If it were when he had just obtained the Earthly Ancestral Qi Scripture, he would definitely have chosen to use the essence of Wu Earth and the Xuanhuang Qi to condense the pure Earthly Ancestral Qi in his eyes.
But after witnessing the grand promises made by the Heavenly Lord and becoming the Nine Netherworld Exorcising Heavenly Venerable, he was unwilling to let himself become an ordinary person.
Moreover, Mo Yuan is a pure-blooded variant of the Qilin clan, and he has experienced the terror of pure and authentic ancestral energy. Furthermore, the original Qilin did not choose the most ordinary path during the ancestral energy transformation stage.
The essence of Kun Ling condensed into two jade discs; auspicious omens illuminate mountains and rivers, and calamities befell the mysterious and the mortal realm.
The eyes of the Primordial Qilin are called Kunyu Eyes. They were cultivated by him by taking a wisp of auspicious laws from countless earth veins, spiritual veins, stars, and oceans in the primordial world, as well as the radiant light of the nine virtues of primordial beings. Each eye contains a wisp of pure ancestral energy of the nine virtues.
Its eyes possess divine abilities such as discerning good from evil, understanding cause and effect, observing the pulse of mountains and rivers, sensing the flow of earth energy, and seeing through calamities. Therefore, it is also known as the Nine Virtues Twin Stars or the Mysterious Yellow Calamity Eyes.
Mo Yuan knew he couldn't reach the level of the First Qilin, but it was reasonable for him to set higher standards than other Qilin creatures.
