Born with immortal seed

Chapter 737 Half a Year to Form the Dharma Body

Cicadas! Cicadas! Cicadas!

A cacophony of cicada chirps erupted simultaneously, and multiple cicadas, both spring and autumn varieties, appeared, overlapping behind Bai Zichen.

The Nine-Petaled Treasure Flower's promotion of the Great Dao is a long and arduous process.

Using the peach flesh at dusk, the effects of the Nine-Petaled Treasure Flower were condensed into ten breaths.

The Spring and Autumn Cicadas refined in the past were truly digested at this moment, and a phantom of a Spring and Autumn Cicada condensed in the sea of ​​consciousness, with six wings on its back, hanging upside down in the sky.

With each chirp of cicadas, his mind trembled violently.

One piece collapsed, and another piece reassembled.

His aura grew ever more lofty and vast, unchanging through the ages, with a hazy white light emanating from his body, causing the surrounding area to ripple like water.

The path of time is like opening a gateway, washing over everything, and taking a solid, significant step forward.

"Stepping on time, disappearing into the long river, one can avoid any harm for a breath..."

Finally, after a short time, he comprehended another great divine power, which can play many unexpected roles in battles.

Furthermore, due to the advancement of the Great Dao of Time, the time for sword cultivation was shortened to fifty years, and he steadily and slowly made progress towards the realm where time is like a sword, each strike urging one to grow old.

Another added benefit is that, without special training, the Candle Dragon Yin-Yang Eyes, which continuously grow stronger over time, have also reached perfection.

Moreover, the power of time seemed to flow in their eyes, and these eyes, in their ability to vaguely recall the past and see the future, had changed.

Bai Zichen slowly stood up, and his robes suddenly decayed and tore into pieces, revealing his strong, sculpted physique.

The physical body can withstand the erosion of time, but that doesn't mean external things can too.

Although it was a fourth-order robe, it was still ruined. Fortunately, there were many more in the cave, so I put on a brand new Taoist robe.

"I need to ask the Jingming Sect for some elixirs to restore my lifespan. If this continues, by the time I return to the Ancestral Continent, my lifespan limit will have already been reached..."

Through his understanding of the Dao of Time, he was able to clearly sense his own lifespan.

This time, consuming the Twilight Peaches reduced the lifespan by another sixty years. If it were any other cultivator, losing so many peaches at once would inevitably lead to a serious illness.

With the continuous decrease, plus the activation of the True Azure Emperor Longevity Sword, his lifespan limit is now reduced to only 780 years.

Among those at the Nascent Soul stage, even those who frequently engage in combat and suffer repeated serious injuries are not as miserable as him.

After finishing the evening peaches, their lifespans will almost drop to the same level as those of a Core Formation cultivator.

Fortunately, Bai Zichen has never consumed any longevity pills or spiritual items during his cultivation journey.

Even if there are limitations to lifespan restoration, lifespan can still be restored through other methods.

This person is already a possessor of the Great Path of Time, so he can be somewhat exempt from the side effects of the Twilight Peaches. No wonder the Twilight Peaches are considered highly poisonous and completely unsuitable for ordinary people.

"There are also the Enlightenment Bodhi and the newly ripened Glazed Golden Fruit, both of which are top-grade spiritual items for enhancing enlightenment... Before consuming them, one must plan carefully to maximize their effects."

Bai Zichen has reached the Nascent Soul stage, fulfilling the basic conditions for triggering the Divine Transformation Tribulation.

However, firstly, they were still far from achieving the crystallization of divine sense, and secondly, they were not adequately prepared for the heavenly tribulation, so they dared not proceed rashly.

He only has a nine-eyed Bodhi seed bead given to him by the Buddha of the Precious Wheel, which can ward off inner demons. The Thunder God Bead can also be used in the Nascent Soul Tribulation.

Under the tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage, it's likely that the heavenly lightning will shatter it into dust before it even arrives.

He had never forgotten that during his Nascent Soul stage, a future star tribulation almost caused him, who thought he was well-prepared, to crash and burn.

This kind of heavenly tribulation, which only appears in legends, is something that almost no one in the current cultivation world can overcome, except for him.

Even when he reaches the Nascent Soul stage, Bai Zichen would not be able to withstand such a thing.

Everyone thought that the only challenge he faced was ascension, and that becoming a deity was just a matter of time and easily attainable.

Bai Zichen knew that his tribulation was different from others', and he couldn't be careless.

"There are only two ways to transcend tribulation: either rely on your amazing supernatural powers and take the initiative to disperse the heavenly lightning, or, as many others choose, persevere and endure the nine rounds of heavenly lightning. I don't have any defensive treasures, so as a sword cultivator, I naturally chose the first path."

Bai Zichen rested for a day, and the next day he went to find Tai Xi and Tai Yi, only to find out that the Sword Emperor and Yun Zhongjun had already bid farewell and left.

After explaining his purpose, Tai Xi casually took out two bottles of elixirs, namely Yuan Yuan Dan and Jiu Hua Dan.

Both are effective in replenishing life and boosting energy. After consuming these, you will basically develop resistance to the pills, and you can switch to other pills if needed.

Only then did they realize that Tai Xi was actually a fifth-level alchemist, which shocked them to no end.

The design of the two spirit puppets shows that Tai Xi possesses all the skills of cultivation, including alchemy, formations, and puppetry, all at the fifth level.

When they were first created, they were all only at the fourth level.

They had no time to worry, and they had no shortage of cultivation techniques and manuals, so they painstakingly honed their skills to the fifth level over tens of thousands of years.

Compared to human alchemists, they may lack innovation and breakthroughs, and are unable to develop entirely new alchemical formulas based on existing ones.

However, by simply copying the same method to refine mature pills, Tai Xi's success rate in alchemy will only be higher.

The level of alchemy output is always at its best and will not fluctuate with one's mood or state of mind.

In contrast, Taiyi possessed only killing and killing supernatural powers, which he had cultivated to perfection.

However, there was no place for him to use his skills in the Western Sea.

"In addition, I would like to learn from the experiences of those who have attained the divine transformation."

The Jingming Sect has produced deities generation after generation, so naturally they have encountered many kinds of heavenly tribulations.

To increase your chances of success, you need to prepare well in advance.

"If the Daoist has any needs, he can go directly to the Scripture Pavilion."

Taiyi explained the method and path for searching for such jade slips in the Sutra Repository. For Daozi, all this knowledge and experience was fully accessible without any restrictions.

Bai Zichen returned to the giant book and stayed there for seven days and seven nights, flipping through every jade slip that recorded the experiences of those who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, and memorizing all the types of heavenly tribulations that had appeared on it.

The Nascent Soul stage does not involve the diverse and varied Heavenly Tribulations of the Nascent Soul stage; only five types are recorded in total.

Apart from the Twelve Tribulations of Heavenly Gods and Demons experienced by the Patriarch Shaoyang Zhenjun, the other types are not obviously superior or inferior, but simply have different biases.

I figured I could manage to cross it now.

The Twelve Heavenly Tribulations of Divine Fiends have three more divine lightning bolts than ordinary heavenly tribulations, resulting in a qualitative change.

It's not just a matter of having three more lightning bolts; each bolt is stronger than the last.

Normally, by the ninth round, one is already exhausted and has given it their all.

At this point, having to withstand three more divine lightning bolts with doubled power increases the demands on the tribulation seeker several times over.

The method for overcoming tribulation given by the Jingming Sect is simply to refine more lightning-attracting treasures to share the burden, which is similar in principle to the acquired lightning-attracting divine pearl.

The library contains records of seven or eight lightning-attracting treasures. If all of them were used during a heavenly tribulation, they might only be enough to attract away one bolt of heavenly lightning.

"It turns out that cultivating the Pure and Bright Dharma Body can also help with tribulation... However, throughout history, very few cultivators have been able to cultivate the Dharma Body of Heaven and Earth at the Nascent Soul stage."

There are two examples of people who, under heavenly lightning, revealed their pure and clear Dharma bodies and withstood several rounds of heavenly lightning.

After successfully completing his tribulation, he appeared radiant and full of energy.

This gave Bai Zichen an idea: he could put the Pure Brightness Body cultivation on the agenda, since the Pure Brightness Sect had all the necessary spiritual medicines for it.

Upon returning to his own cave dwelling, he first summoned the Pure Bright Dharma Body and carefully read and comprehended it.

At the same time, he ate Yuan Yuan Dan and Jiu Hua Dan like candy, and after finishing the two bottles, he regained more than a hundred years of lifespan.

On the other hand, the Pure Bright Dharma Body has been understood to a considerable extent.

The biggest challenge in cultivating the Heaven and Earth Formation Technique during the Nascent Soul stage is the fragility of the grotto-heaven, which cannot provide sufficient support.

Bai Zichen has an advantage over others in this respect. His nascent cave heaven is almost the same size as a normal cave heaven. Under the influence of the power of time, his internal evolution in a hundred years is comparable to the changes of others over a thousand years.

If one focuses on one thing and doesn't get distracted by other projects, one should be able to achieve some success within a hundred years.

Almost ready, Bai Zichen swallowed the Enlightenment Bodhi in one gulp, as if a pebble had been thrown into his body, stirring up countless ripples.

In an instant, one's thinking is suddenly elevated, allowing one to survey all living beings from a bird's-eye view, resulting in a completely different feeling.

All the questions and problems were easily solved.

The workings of the world have become much clearer and simpler.

Several difficulties in the practice of the Pure Bright Dharma Body, which originally required a lot of trial and error, were now immediately identified as the correct path.

Even the most difficult and obscure mnemonics can be understood by reciting them twice, and one can grasp their true meaning.

The wonder of enlightenment and Bodhi is fully displayed.

Once the effects of the spiritual item wore off, Bai Zichen swallowed the last piece of the Twilight Peach, and in the next instant, he swept away all the spiritual energy in the cave.

The fifth-tier spiritual land, which has the highest priority supply, is actually running a deficit and needs to draw spiritual energy from the outside, thus creating a spiritual energy tide phenomenon.

"Breakthrough in cultivation realm? Mastery of cultivation technique?"

As the guardian of the mountain, Tai Xi sensed the changes in spiritual energy within the cave and flew into the air to discover that the source was the Daoist Cave.

Like a starving monster, it devoured the surrounding spiritual energy, accepting everything that came its way.

Fortunately, the spirit of the cave immediately adjusted the spiritual energy of the cave to prevent further damage.

"They've already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, so where would they find room for further breakthroughs... It's because their Pure Bright Dharma Body is in its initial stages and requires terrifying spiritual energy to construct its Dharma Body that this phenomenon occurs!"

Taiyi followed closely behind and, after observing, spoke.

"How is that possible! Daozi has only possessed supernatural powers for a few months, how could he have cultivated the Pure Bright Body!"

Tai Xi's face paled; the Law of Heaven and Earth was no small supernatural power.

Achieving the Nascent Soul stage is already an anomaly; to do it in less than a year is simply a fantasy. Even a Void Refinement expert could only achieve this.

"The Immortal Sect has truly produced an extraordinary Daoist, surpassing all previous generations and rivaling even the Immortal Lords..."

Taiyi sighed softly.

Above Daozi Cave, the wind and clouds churned, golden rays surged, and colorful rain fell, vaguely revealing an ancient gate covered with countless complex ancient inscriptions.

A giant, pure white hand slowly pushed open the door, revealing half of its palm, already possessing the power to cover the sky.

Even from a distance, a terrifying pressure descends, causing a burning pain in one's eyes.

……

Northern Territory, Immortal Burial Valley.

Since a catastrophe hundreds of years ago, demonic energy has surged into this place, and roars filled with boundless hatred and rage will resound in the hearts of everyone who steps into the valley.

Above the Valley of Burial Immortals, black chains form a net that suppresses the demons beneath the earth.

An unfortunate cultivator passed by, was corrupted by demonic energy, and became a demonic being who only knew how to kill, wandering aimlessly in the valley like a walking corpse.

Only then did they discover that the influence of Burial Immortal Valley had expanded to another area, with hundreds more miles designated as forbidden zones.
