Xiuxian: Start with the medicine boy

"It's obvious!"

This is the power of its laws; though the quantity is sufficient, the 'quality' remains unchanged!
This is because they did not undergo the crucial sublimation at the Refinement of Emptiness level.

"You should know that the old monster comprehended the Law of Blood to the second level, the 'Rune Realm,' countless years ago."

Afterwards, I shared that 'creation' with him, and his understanding of the laws was profound, perhaps even reaching the threshold of the third realm, the 'Domain Realm'...

Even if the breakthrough fails, with his foundation, his understanding of the Blood Law will definitely surpass that of the original body by a significant margin.

"Moreover, the method for forging the Law Body that he cultivates has most likely already been perfected by him."

Even if it is not yet perfect, it is certainly not far from great achievement.

otherwise!

"After such a long and fierce battle, His reserves of the power of law should have been exhausted long ago. How could He have lasted until the end?"

However, Cheng Buzheng reconsidered...

How many years has that high priest of the Purgatory Clan lived?

It is perfectly normal to have accumulated such a level of understanding.

If it weren't for the lack of subsequent methods for refining the void, with his profound knowledge and ruthlessness, he would probably have already attempted to break through to a realm beyond the Nascent Soul stage.

"Looking back at ourselves..."

Cheng Buzheng looked inward at the thin layer of law power in his dantian and began to estimate his future cultivation speed.

"If one relies solely on absorbing spiritual energy, given the current efficiency of converting spiritual energy into the power of laws, it would be extremely difficult to fully cultivate the ten levels of the [Profound Yellow Undying Body] technique."
Reaching the pinnacle of the Divine Transformation realm...

It will probably take nearly a thousand years of painstaking effort!

"With the aid of suitable elixirs, the time required may be greatly reduced."

However, the quality of the elixir is crucial to its effectiveness.

"Low-grade elixirs are ineffective against this; only elixirs of at least the fourth grade that enhance cultivation can have some effect."

But what can truly and significantly improve efficiency is nothing more than a fifth-tier spirit pill!

Think of this!

The glimmer of hope that had just risen in Cheng Buzheng's heart quickly cooled down.

"Unfortunately, this world has undergone a great calamity in ancient times, and high-level resources have long been exhausted. Fifth-level spiritual herbs are almost extinct. To try to refine a fifth-level spiritual pill is nothing short of a pipe dream."

Even the main ingredient of fourth-tier pills is not an ordinary spiritual herb that can be easily obtained.

All of a sudden!

The weight of the long road ahead, the helplessness of scarce resources, and the many distracting thoughts about future cultivation plans...

It surged through his mind like a tidal wave.

Immediately.

Cheng Buzheng shifted his focus away from the illusory, interwoven panel in his sea of ​​consciousness, which contained endless mysteries.

His tightly closed eyes slowly opened again.

The light in his eyes was restrained, yet it appeared even more profound, as if it could pierce through the void.

Then,

He suppressed all distracting thoughts and began to carefully and wholeheartedly perceive this "Mysterious and Undying Body," which had been initially formed and had already undergone a fundamental transformation.

The thought only stirred slightly, without even needing to be deliberately activated...

An incomparably powerful invisible force swept out naturally from him!

This power is not simply divine thought, but more like a kind of "field" generated by the fusion of divine thought and the newly born power of law.

The protective array surrounding the quiet room, strong enough to withstand the onslaught of a Nascent Soul cultivator, was swept away by this invisible force...

It suddenly burst forth with dazzling, multicolored light!

The light flickered rapidly, emitting a humming sound as if it were struggling under the strain; the entire light screen twisted violently and teetered on the verge of collapse.

It looked as if it would shatter completely in the next instant!
see,

Cheng Buzheng, sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, had only one thought in mind...

The nascent, invisible wave receded gently like the tide, disappearing without a trace.

The frantically flashing spiritual light on the array's light barrier gradually subsided.

The light was just much dimmer than before.

Obviously, he was seriously injured.

"good."

Cheng Buzheng nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
"Even the power of divine sense has been greatly enhanced as a result."

Although this enhancement did not bring about a qualitative change, it was still beyond his expectations and a pleasant surprise.

after all,

When he first grasped the essence of the first law and entered the Nascent Soul realm...

The divine sense has already undergone a fundamental transformation.

The current forging of the Law-based Treasure Body mainly involves the sublimation of magical power and physical body. The fact that the divine sense can be so significantly enhanced already demonstrates the extraordinary nature of this "Mysterious Yellow Imperishable Body".

"In the past, the power of divine sense had an absolute suppressive force on cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage."

The oppressive force imbued with the power of laws is an attack of dimensional reduction.

Cheng Buzheng could clearly foresee that...

"It is estimated that ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, when faced with the unintentional pressure emanating from the main body, would have their minds stagnate, their thoughts freeze, and their physical bodies become as if stuck in quagmire, unable to move."
The magical power within the body will become as heavy as lead and mercury, making it difficult to circulate freely.

The reason for such a terrifying change is that his current aura naturally encompasses the meaning of the power of laws.

It could even be said that:
His every move carried a pressure of law that was difficult for low-level cultivators to understand and resist.

Without even lifting a finger, the mere pressure alone would likely be enough to crush the physical body and nascent soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator!
but!

While carefully observing the changes within myself...
Cheng Buzheng also keenly noticed a "flaw" in this newly generated power of law.
Or rather, its limitations.

"If the Law-based Body is forcibly shattered, it can only be rebuilt using the more fundamental 'Origin of Laws'."

One cannot be resurrected simply by relying on the 'power of laws' within the dantian.

He understood.
"Or rather, the current level of 'power of law' does not yet possess the heaven-defying power of rebirth from a drop of blood and reshaping of the physical body."

This may be one of the few drawbacks of the power of laws at this stage.

It cannot replace the more profound "original law" in its ultimate role of preserving life.

"but,"

Cheng Buzheng's perception penetrated deep into the subtle details of Bao's body.

"As the 'Mysterious Yellow Imperishable Body' continues to advance in level, the power of its laws is repeatedly refined and purified..."

This physical body itself will become increasingly terrifying.

It's not just about increased strength, but also increased resilience, recovery speed, and resistance to various types of damage...

All of them are constantly accumulating as they are nourished by the power of the laws.

at this point!
Cheng Buzheng had a very clear feeling the moment he successfully transferred to the new major.

"This physical body, while not yet capable of directly confronting the legendary supreme spiritual treasures, is still sharp and powerful."
But its toughness far surpasses that of ordinary top-grade magical treasures!

This is a genuine improvement, a fundamental strengthening that cannot be faked.

As time slowly passed...

Within the quiet room, spiritual energy permeated the air, and the essence of Taoism naturally arose.

Cheng Buzheng slowly opened his eyes, and within them seemed to be the creation of chaos, with the image of the birth and death of laws flashing by.

He carefully experienced the all-round improvement brought about by the forging of the "Law-based Body".

The powerful feeling brought about by this leap in the level of life filled him with an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.

however!
Behind this unparalleled improvement lies the consumption of a large number of Law-based spiritual objects.

The thought that he had almost emptied his collection of treasures accumulated over many years—treasures that would make any top sect envious—in order to forge this precious body caused Cheng Buzheng's lips to twitch slightly, and a sharp pain in his heart to surge through him.

That feeling was even more real than being slashed with a knife.

"worth!"

"It was all worth it!"

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the excitement brought on by the thought of "spending money recklessly," and repeatedly admonished himself in his heart.

To achieve the Great Way, how can one be stingy with external things?
This kind of precious body is the solid foundation for the path to longevity and immortality. Countless cultivators seek it but cannot obtain it. It is already a stroke of good fortune that I have this opportunity.

After a while...
The emotions that had been fluctuating due to the "bankruptcy" gradually subsided, and I became calm and undisturbed.

He composed himself and prepared to continue his seclusion, hoping to take advantage of the initial formation of his precious body to deeply comprehend the profound mysteries of the laws.

At the same time, he circulated his profound skills to accumulate more refined and powerful law energy, preparing for a breakthrough to a higher realm.

suddenly!

Cheng Buzheng's thoughts shifted, like a bolt of lightning flashing across his mind, illuminating a memory that had been temporarily shelved.

"I almost forgot about this important matter!"

this moment,
His thoughts drifted back to those years.

He returned from the turbulent True Dragon Sea, but his luck was terrible. While crossing the void interlayer, he was swept into a rare and terrifying spatial storm.

If he hadn't cultivated the [Spatial Escape Technique], he would probably have perished in the raging spatial turbulence.

Even if they manage to escape by chance, the very essence of the law will be severely damaged.

When he escaped the spatial storm and returned to the world of cultivation, he happened to witness a life-or-death battle between Nascent Soul cultivators.

In ordinary times, life-or-death battles between cultivators are commonplace in the cultivation world...

Cheng Buzheng wouldn't even glance at him.

But what shocked him was that the two Nascent Soul cultivators had no scruples after losing the powerful deterrent of the three major alliances of the human race!

In an attempt to kill a powerful enemy, one of them went so far as to activate the spiritual vein beneath his feet, intending to use the destructive energy from the shattered spiritual vein to drag his opponent down with him!

Although it was only a medium-sized spiritual vein, the impact of its eruption still caused the spiritual energy within a radius of a thousand miles to become disordered, and the spiritual energy of the earth to be damaged.

At that moment, Cheng Buzheng's heart sank.

He witnessed firsthand how, after the collapse of order, the shackles of "bottom line" in the hearts of the cultivators had been broken.

During the reign of the three major human alliances, despite numerous shortcomings, there was one ironclad rule that Cheng Buzheng deeply believed in—

That is the absolute protection order for the spiritual veins.

This order is extremely harsh:

Anyone who intentionally or unintentionally causes the rupture of a spiritual vein, regardless of their status or the reason, will be executed without mercy upon verification, and their disciples, partners, and sect will also be implicated.
Even tracing back to mortal bloodlines and relatives!
It is this seemingly inhumane rule of collective punishment that, like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of all cultivators, effectively deters any crazy behavior that might damage the foundation of the spiritual veins.

In that era, spiritual veins were rarely affected by conflicts.

No one dared to even entertain the idea of ​​"shattering the spiritual veins to take the enemy down with them."

Even a solitary strongman with no ties to the world must weigh the consequences of implicating his mortal relatives.

Cheng Buzheng himself is proof of this.

Back then, he desperately needed spiritual veins to enhance his natal magic weapon, but even facing the spiritual veins left behind by the Qingmu Sect and the Beicang Sect...

He also dared not act rashly because he was wary of this ban.

Ultimately, after much effort, they found a suitable spiritual vein outside the monitoring range of the three major alliances.

This incident demonstrates how strictly the ban was enforced back then, and how deeply it had taken root in people's hearts.

It is precisely because of this strict protection of the spiritual veins over countless years...
The concentration of spiritual energy in this place, instead of decreasing as expected due to cultivators' plundering, showed a faint, slow upward trend.
It also left a spark for the continuation of the cultivation world.

At that time, Cheng Buzheng was determined to end the turbulent era caused by the collapse of the alliance.

However, he was eager to analyze the "Daoist texts," which concerned the very foundation of his own Daoist path, and he was simply unable to spare the time, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being.

"But now that I have forged the Xuanhuang Indestructible Body and greatly increased my strength, it is time for me to emerge from seclusion and clean up this chaotic situation."

A resolute glint flashed in Cheng Buzheng's eyes.
"If the situation is allowed to deteriorate further, who knows how many more spiritual veins will be destroyed in the struggle for resources and to settle old scores with various factions."

The spiritual veins are the foundation of heaven and earth; once damaged, they are difficult to restore.

If this continues, the cultivation world will inevitably suffer a severe blow.

It may even lead to the end of the Dharma.

"As for comprehending the laws?"
There's no rush.

He is very clear about this.

Understanding the principles is not something that can be achieved overnight, and explosive growth is unlikely in the short term. Taking a little longer is not a big deal.

"Besides, there's no need for me to personally make the trip."

It can dispatch its avatars with treasures to suppress unrest from all sides and restore order with overwhelming force.

The main body continues to cultivate diligently in this secret realm, improving its realm and striving to push the [Mysterious Yellow Undying Body] to the tenth level as soon as possible.

Cultivation techniques emphasize accumulation; they do not require high levels of spiritual perfection or comprehension.
Even if the Dharma body leaves the body, causing a temporary drop in understanding, it will have no impact.

"It's not too late to fully comprehend the laws after the Dharma Body has completed its work and returned."

Think of this!
Cheng Buzheng's mind stirred slightly, and he immediately prepared to dispatch his Dharma body...

suddenly!

His movements suddenly stopped at the crucial moment.

"Wait a minute!"

"Now I have forged a rare Law Body, and my strength has undergone a qualitative leap. However, the many offensive methods I used to rely on are still ninth-grade divine abilities at the Nascent Soul level."

While these supernatural abilities each possess extraordinary power and are considered top-tier within the Nascent Soul stage, they fall short in their ability to activate and manifest higher-level laws.
It's like a child wielding a giant hammer; they can't possibly unleash the power of the laws of nature!

His deep gaze seemed to pierce through the quiet room, revealing the chaotic world of cultivation outside.

"This time, the appearance of the Dharma Body is not only to quell the turmoil, but also to establish rules with thunderous means. We must give those top sects and reclusive old monsters who occupy a certain area a real shock."

Otherwise, relying solely on verbal prohibitions or mild measures will only result in those cunning and shrewd individuals who have lived for countless years appearing compliant but secretly continuing to do as they please, feigning compliance while acting against it.

Only absolute power can truly instill fear in them, preventing them from daring to cross the line even slightly.

Thinking of this,

Cheng Buzheng's divine sense completely sank into his body, reflecting inward like a clear mirror, his mind sweeping over the many ninth-grade divine abilities one by one.

[Spatial Escape], [Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate], [True Spirit Dharma Body]...

Each stream of supernatural power and true meaning flows, each possessing its own profound mystery.

He looked it over for a long time...

His divine sense focused on the remaining Law Values.

"With the remaining Law Values, I wonder if it's enough to deduce a truly useful Law-based divine power?"

The hope is slim...

He pondered, his brows furrowing slightly.
