Born with immortal seed

Chapter 872 Refining the Ancient God
The bronze giant turned and left without pausing, as if he had come to the Sun Star merely for a visit, rather than with the resolute intention of fighting the mysterious swordsman.

Even if that person truly possessed the strength to stand out among his peers, Han Qing was not afraid and was fairly confident in exchanging the Perseverance Pill for him.

Unless one has crossed the Immortal Ladder and reached the Integration Stage, few Void Refining cultivators are willing to risk damaging their foundation in a life-or-death battle with an opponent of the same level.

Defeat means the end.

Even if they win, they might be left with hidden injuries that are difficult to cure or a great loss of vitality, which could reduce their chances of advancing to the Integration stage by 20%.

Han Qing has at most a few decades to live, and no one doubts his determination to fight to the death.

However, this is based on the premise that the strength is at the same level. If the gap is too large, it will not affect the origin at all, and then there is nothing to worry about when making a move.

The newly appearing phantom in front of the divine body was not on the shoulder, nor beside the neck, but at the unprecedented position between the eyebrows!

Only this one stands tall and proud.

Han Qing knew all too well the identities of the dragon, the clam, and the female Taoist priest; they were the three strongest predecessors in the history of the Azure Sea Heaven.

Even the most arrogant person wouldn't think they could compare to others.

At this moment, the mysterious swordsman did not catch up with the three, but greatly improved and came to the core of the Great Sun God.

It is equivalent to facing the pure core of the most powerful and oldest innate deity at the Refining Void Realm.

I can't even imagine what level of mastery of the Dao must have required!

"There really are cultivators in the world who have mastered the Great Dao of Body Integration at the Void Refinement stage. The prerequisite for reversing the Void Refinement stage to achieve Body Integration is not something unreal or illusory; there are real people right in front of us!"

The gap between refining emptiness and uniting the body lies in the difference in the Great Dao.

The former is merely comprehending and borrowing, while the latter can manifest the power of the Great Dao in the world. No matter how strong the supernatural powers and secret techniques are, they are like eggs hitting rocks, unable to shake them in the slightest.

Only when one reaches the Great Dao realm can one have a chance to break through the defenses of a Nascent Soul stage expert.

Han Qing could fight to the death for Hengxin Dan, but if the opponent's strength was even a level higher than those legendary figures from the Azure Sea Heaven, then it wouldn't be fighting for his life, but rather sending himself to his death.

To the mysterious swordsman, his own threat was utterly laughable.

No one would bother with a seemingly fierce ant; they'd just run it over if it blocked their path.

"The death calamity, this is the pitch-black death calamity that the divine divination revealed before my reincarnation..."

Han Qing was filled with shock. His long years of cultivation had made him believe that he would not be affected by external things.

But when something truly beyond imagination appears, how can one not be shocked?

What is the Perseverance Pill? If you walk too slowly, you might be cut down by a single sword, and you won't even have a chance to reincarnate. Your hopes for the next life will be dashed.

They left in such a hurry that they didn't have time to check whether the mysterious swordsman had left any trace on the sun and stars.

That phantom has existed since time immemorial, occupying the past and existing in the future.

Even if the person has left, they may still send power from a great distance through their illusory image.

……

Divine flames swirled beneath him, and Bai Zichen suppressed his discomfort as a faint light rippled across his brow.

All the true meaning of time that it could drive burst forth to fight against the lingering will of the Great Sun God.

One is of high quality, and the other is of large quantity.

The divine body lying on the ground emitted a tearing sound as if it could not bear the weight, and the entire star was drawn by some inexplicable energy. The Pure Bright Dharma Body was also gradually changing.

The eight immortal bones inside his body were revealed one by one, and a transparent bone was slowly taking shape on his spine.

A faint halo swirled above, and the fine lines formed mysterious patterns, seemingly containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.

It was the final step of the Nine Heavens Bone Forging Technique, and the Supreme Sword Bone was taking shape.

Bai Zichen went all out and searched almost every giant ship in the Blue Sea and Sky over the past twenty years.

They used either kind words of persuasion or tempting gifts of valuable treasures to obtain many useful natural materials.

Of course, the premise was to use swords to speak, to teach the ship owners a lesson, and to force them to communicate properly.

Among them is the Taiwei Sword Flower, which is essential for cultivating the Supreme Sword Bone.

With all external things gathered, the supreme sword heart needed by oneself remains a mystery.

I wasn't sure if I had met the requirements, but as I continued with the Nine Heavens Bone Forging Technique, I didn't feel any obstacles.

After several years of effort, the rudimentary form of the Supreme Sword Bone has been formed within his body.

Compared to the previous eight immortal bones, the Supreme Sword Bone is significantly more difficult to forge and cannot be achieved overnight.

It wasn't until this moment, stimulated by an external force, that the nine immortal bones were connected by dotted lines, pushing the Supreme Sword Bone forward a great step.

"Once the Supreme Sword Bone is forged, the complete Nine Heavens Bone Forging Technique might be able to create a seventh-tier body cultivator..."

The thought flashed through my mind and was immediately overshadowed by something more important.

The map of the positions of gods and spirits flew out, unfurling a thousand-foot scroll. The names of every deity on it began to sway, and one after another, they stepped out of the painting.

At first it was just a hazy, indistinct image, but it quickly became lifelike, with lively eyes.

It took less than ten breaths for the clay deity to transform from a harmless little god into a divine being.

Furthermore, with the emergence of various righteous gods, several of these immortals and gods have already entered the Void Refinement stage.

This astonishing change originated from the divine body of the Great Sun God-King beneath him.

Face to face, the diagram of the positions of gods and spirits was unfolded, and the secret weapon that the Daoist court had left in this extraordinary treasure was finally activated. Countless silver threads hung down and penetrated deep into the divine body.

The immense power that was fed back made Bai Zichen, an observer, secretly tremble. Even if thousands or tens of thousands of Void Refinement cultivators were combined, they would not be able to match this power.

At this moment, the influx of spirits and deities into the diagram caused its rank to rise step by step, moving it toward its original form.

On the scroll and on the back of the painting, one character after another appeared, containing the ultimate truths of the beginning of heaven and earth.

These characters are different from all the scripts used in the Immortal Realm. They are more ancient than the Great Dragon Chapter, the Great Virtue Phoenix Script, and the Golden Tadpole Spirit Script, and better reveal the essence of the Great Dao.

It is precisely these characters that allow the diagram of the positions and duties of ghosts and gods to come into contact with the Great Dao, weaving its own rules, making it invaluable.

The key divine body showed no change, remaining as majestic and boundless as ever.

Roar!
After an unknown amount of time, a mournful roar, seemingly from a previous era, reached the sun and stars.

The divine body's pupils emitted terrifying golden light, clearly exceeding the limitations of this realm in that instant, reaching the seventh-order level of strength.

The surrounding void contracted, the sky shook, and cracks seemed to tear the azure sky apart, heralding the end of the world.

When a force exceeding the limits of what the Middle Thousand Worlds can withstand enters, it will naturally be met with the repulsion of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

However, the situation of the Great Sun God Lord is special; it can only be considered as the work of his lingering resentment, and he has no target to annihilate the divine soul.

Instead, the divine body collides with the world, dragging this universe into ruin.

"Sure enough!"

Bai Zichen's figure flickered, stepping on the river of time, using the river of time to escape the aftermath.

Even before he arrived, he had prepared for the worst. The Ghost and God Position Chart was indeed crafted by the Daoist court to completely resolve the issue of innate deities, and it could play a restraining role.

There are likely major flaws inside, otherwise the Six Emperors of the Dao Court would not have sat idly by and allowed the remains of the innate deities to exist for so long after they had successfully refined it.

Having been sealed for millions of years and suppressed by the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth of an entire Middle Thousand World, the remnant spirit of the Great Sun God-King could still unleash such power, which was simply unimaginable when he had just perished.

Even with his cultivation at the Six Emperors level, and even with the Ghost God Position Map in the Nine Immortal Realms, he couldn't completely annihilate the Great Sun God Lord without suffering any damage.

Stimulated by the diagram of the positions of the gods and spirits, those who urge the scroll to move will face the final counterattack of the innate deities, and will almost certainly not escape unscathed.

The most likely scenario is that one's life is sacrificed to achieve a transformation and sublimation in the hierarchy of ghosts and gods.

It's hard to say whether this was intentional on the part of the original refiner.

However, Bai Zichen was hidden in the River of Time, so even the roar from the Great Sun God was like a gentle breeze, leaving him unharmed.

The relentless flow of time, which others avoid at all costs, has left no trace on him.

As the Great Sun God lost his target, more and more golden light shot out from his eyes, nose, and mouth, causing ripples to spread throughout the void.

Several nearby stars were directly torn apart by this immense force, forming black holes.

The divine body began to lose its color, turning into the color of a mortal body. The divine power surged uncontrollably towards the Ghost God's position and karma diagram, like a river bursting its banks.

With each rise and fall, tremendous changes occur in every instant.

Bai Zichen strolled leisurely in his own backyard, taking three steps forward and one step back.

Just to anchor myself in a fixed time period, so as not to be unknowingly carried by the river of time to some unknown time interlayer.

The senses lost their concept of time, and they could only silently count the cicada chirps in their mind's eye.

When he returned to the Azure Sea Heaven, he saw the Great Sun God Lord with his eyes closed, letting out a long sigh as he lingered in the universe.

It was filled with resentment, anger, and hysteria.

His divine body remained there, but his mind was clear: the Great Sun God had truly perished this time.

Like a sun that is rapidly cooling down, it has lost its eternal source of light and heat.

No matter how enormous the divine body is, or how immense the power it exudes, it will only continue to diminish, and there is no possibility of it ever awakening again.

"Apart from me, anyone in the Earthly Immortal Realm who tries to open the Ghost God Karma Diagram to deal with the Great Sun God Lord will be doomed... No, even I would die if I tried to confront him head-on!"

Even if a fully-formed fusion powerhouse were to refine their illusory form and face the final blow from the remnant will of the Great Sun God, they would still face certain death.

Bai Zichen reached out and summoned the Ghost God's Position Diagram, which had become supreme and ethereal. It intended to escape into the void, but instead, it was pulled back into his hand as if by a rope.

Most of the 365 names of immortals and gods on the scroll have already lit up, and can be summoned to the world with a single thought.

At the same time, it can bestow a divine name upon a person, thereby gaining the favor of Heaven, receiving its true blessings, and elevating their cultivation.

Even a novice who has just begun cultivation can reach the corresponding realm within a few years with the blessing of immortals and gods.

The current limit of the Ghost and God Position Chart is that it can be passed on to five people to the peak of Refining Emptiness and dozens of people to the peak of Transforming Spirit.

In a short period of time, they were able to assemble a formidable team.

The key is that the divine blessing does not discriminate based on the recipient's aptitude; even a piece of elm wood can be used to cultivate step by step.

A single divine seed can be equivalent to thousands of years of cultivation; how unfair!

But thinking about it, it makes perfect sense that this was refined from the core of an innate deity.

And this is not the final form of the Ghost and God Position Chart. When it can summon the first row of immortals and gods, it may be able to catalyze the formation of a combined-level divine seed.
