I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 817 The Great Accomplishment of Hun Tian Immortality
With the new cultivation technique and the enhancement of his spiritual power, Gu Yuanqing's cultivation progressed even faster.

The illusory world of heaven and man within the acupoints and particles of the whole body has become less illusory, and each world seems to have the ability to operate on its own and generate power.

In the microscopic world, mountains and rivers, wind and clouds change, and one can hear a humming sound originating from the tremors of the Great Dao emanating from the microscopic world.

Every world is like a newborn baby, tender yet full of vibrant life and unique Taoist charm.

Mana regeneration is faster now because countless microscopic worlds are generating power on their own every moment.

The boundary between the physical body and the soul becomes even more blurred. Even a single drop of blood or a wisp of remnant soul can quickly absorb the laws of heaven and earth through the microscopic world contained within, and reconstruct the physical body and soul.

This is a sign that the Chaotic Undying Realm is about to be completed.

At the same time, Gu Yuanqing also felt that in the new cultivation method, the perfection of the divine soul had an impact on the cultivation speed. Once a clone was severed, the cultivation speed would be greatly reduced. The more divine soul essences were severed, the more the cultivation speed would decrease.

Actually, this situation existed before, but it was far less obvious than with the new cultivation method.

Overall, even after severing half of his divine soul, his cultivation speed was almost comparable to before. However, he found it difficult to practice visualization techniques. When he forced himself to visualize, alarm bells would immediately ring in his mind, as if a major crisis was looming.

At this moment, Gu Yuanqing finally understood why cultivators in the Nine Domains Divine Continent found it difficult to create clones.

Although the two realms seem similar, there are fundamental differences in cultivation.

The path of the spirit realm is based on the three pillars of the physical body, the divine soul, and the imprint of the Great Dao, each nurtured to perfection. Finally, the three are fused together into one furnace. When all the myriad particles are perfected, all the streams flow into the sea, condensing the true seed of the Dao source and laying the foundation for attaining the Dao. This can be described as progressing from the outside to the inside.

The Nine Realms Divine Continent pursues perfection and flawlessness, a unified whole, and then uses this perfect divine soul to unify and imprint the physical body and the Dao principles, ultimately condensing the true seed of the Dao source.

For cultivators in the spirit realm, the technique of creating clones is simply about severing a portion of their power and soul. Their power is inherently similar to building a tower from grains of sand; even if a portion is severed, it won't have a significant impact.

However, for cultivators of the Nine Realms Divine Continent, their own composition is like a flawless crystal. If any small piece is forcibly knocked off, the crystal itself will be flawed.

Especially during visualization, practitioners use their own soul to reflect and bear the image, and comprehend the profound meaning within it. Only a soul that is "perfectly unified" can safely bear the meaning of the Great Dao, like a perfectly structured container.

When the soul is flawed, it is like a container with a crack. The meaning of the Great Dao will then backfire on the soul itself. It is no longer enlightenment, but the soul being eroded by the Dao of others.

These are completely different concepts!

"To be honest, the cultivation methods of the Nine Realms Divine Continent and the Dao of Rules and Divine Artifacts in the Exquisite Realm have many similarities, as if they are somewhere between the Spirit Realm and the Exquisite Realm! The visualization method of the Nine Realms Divine Continent is to comprehend its meaning and Dao realm, and while tempering the soul, it also applies it to the Dao of Heaven and Earth. The Dao of Rules and Divine Artifacts in the Exquisite Realm incorporates all of them."

Gu Yuanqing seemed to be deep in thought. After a long while, he chuckled softly and muttered to himself, "This is interesting!"

Time passed, and for the next ten years, Gu Yuanqing did not go out or create clones to go anywhere. For him, improving his strength was more important than anything else.

Only with greater strength can we cope with more changes.

Right now, their strength is advancing by leaps and bounds, and their progress is even comparable to when they first became immortal beings.

The visualization method is like making up for the last shortcoming in the original technique. In addition, with the demonic thoughts of the Heavenly Demon as resources, it can be said to have perfectly exerted the power of the North Spring Cave Heaven's blessing.

At this moment, Gu Yuanqing seemed to truly feel the power of his own cheat system, which seemed to be not much different from Li Miaoxuan's.

Moreover, despite his rapid progress in cultivation, his foundation did not appear weak at all. The visualization of the Demon-Slaying and Immortal-Ascending Diagram, in addition to tempering his soul, also seemed to be a constant interrogation of his own Dao, making Gu Yuanqing's Dao heart even clearer.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, at the top of the thirty-three-story Demon Refining Tower, the bright mirror had begun to take shape and was gradually revealing its strangeness.

It seems to reflect the flaws and defects of one's own Great Dao, allowing one to sense one's own shortcomings.

In addition, this mirror is also a kind of supernatural power. When activated, it can be hung high to reflect the opponent and reveal their weaknesses.

The Demon Suppression Tower can also be considered a supernatural power. If one can refine a magical artifact and then use visualization techniques to enhance it, it can exert its power to suppress and kill demons.

This is also a characteristic of superior cultivation methods; the cultivation method itself can be directly transformed into supernatural powers and combat strength, possessing the ability to attack and protect the path.

Inside the main hall of cultivation.

Gu Yuanqing sat cross-legged with his eyes slightly closed.

With a bright mirror hanging high above his head, reflecting himself, his mind can naturally "see" the imperfect parts of the particles around him.

The shadow of the thirty-three-layered Demon Refining Tower enveloped its body, with crimson lotus karmic fire burning within, using its power to temper the imperfections it "saw".

Both of these are unusual phenomena that naturally arise after the visualization is completed.

Within his body, the power formed by the fusion of true essence and divine thought flowed through his entire body like a surging river, supported by the sea of ​​spiritual energy blessed by Beiquan Mountain.

As the last particle bursts forth with radiant light, all the power within my body resonates, a profound and mysterious feeling arises, and my cultivation seems to have no flaws whatsoever.

"Finally, the Great Perfection of the Undying Chaos has been achieved!"

Gu Yuanqing exhaled a long breath, which contained spiritual energy that evolved in the void, transforming into a faint shadow of a world before slowly dissipating.

In these ten years, only half a step has been taken forward, and this half step might take an ordinary cultivator thousands of years.

"It's time to find a way to refine my own natal magic weapon."

Once one reaches the Great Perfection of the Undying Chaos, the next step is to unify all powers, thereby giving birth to the True Seed of the Dao Source.

The natal magic weapon merges with it, undergoes the tribulation of becoming a virgin immortal together, establishes a deep connection, grows along with Gu Yuanqing's own cultivation, and eventually undergoes the immortal tribulation, possesses true spirituality, transforms into an immortal artifact, and becomes a magic weapon to protect the Dao.

This magical artifact may not be as valuable as the treasures acquired later in the Daoist journey, but it can perfectly resonate with Gu Yuanqing's mind and spirit, allowing him to fully unleash his power and possess unlimited potential for growth.

Over the past decade, Gu Yuanqing had long since thought things through and abandoned the sword form that was in harmony with the way of swordsmanship and the tower that served as a template and aided in cultivation, choosing instead a large seal!
Although this choice meant that for a long time, the power of this treasure would not be as great as a sword, nor as great as the Demon Refining Tower, which possessed both the ability to reference, suppress, and refine. However, in the long run, it would best suit Gu Yuanqing's growth, have greater potential for development, and perfectly integrate with his future Dao fruit.

Over the years, through the Linglong Realm, he has collected all sorts of rare and precious materials.

Within the Qingping Dao Palace, there are also many spiritual objects available for use. The Beiquan Cave Heaven itself continuously generates spiritual objects, but there are still some missing ones.

After all, what he was refining was not an ordinary treasure, or even an ordinary treasure that could not be destroyed. In Gu Yuanqing's view, this natal treasure had to reach the level of a celestial artifact at the very least, so it was natural to use the best materials!

However, there are some things that cannot be found in the Linglong Realm because it is difficult for small worlds to be born!

Among them, four things are the most important.

Firstly, the Zhenyuan Stone, formed from the core of an ancient, large mountain range over millions of years through geological processes, naturally contains a fragment of the earth's vein power. After being refined into the Great Seal, it imbues the divine seal with its own gravitational field, naturally restraining and slowing down the opponent when unleashed.

Secondly, the Earth Vein Star Core is the last essence that condenses after the Earth Vein Source of some worlds that are on the verge of death has been exhausted. It is shaped like a stubborn rock and contains the remaining power of the Earth's original source of a world.

Thirdly, the Void Stone is a strange crystal formed by the interweaving and condensation of the origin of space. It is somewhat similar to the Myriad Forms Void Jade, but it is more mysterious. It can be compatible with Gu Yuanqing's Dao of Space, and it can also give the Great Seal the ability to change size at will.

Fourthly, the "Mountain and River Qi" involves collecting a wisp of primordial energy from different famous mountains and rivers, refining it into the seal, and enhancing its spirituality and Daoist depth. This item is not urgent; it can be used to travel through various realms once the initial form of the seal is completed.

These items might be difficult for ordinary people to obtain, requiring them to find substitutes, but for Gu Yuanqing, it would simply mean spending more time and effort.

He walked out of the main hall, stood on the mountain peak, and suddenly flicked his fingers a few times. His essence blood flew out, and spiritual energy gathered, eventually transforming into several clones.

Then, using the Heavenly Fishing Technique, they were sent to several realms respectively.

A clone was sent into the Demon Realm, using a teleportation technique to head straight for the ruins where the Spirit Abyss Realm had fallen.

The Spirit Abyss Realm was once second only to the Primordial Realm, and it was not small. However, the world was shattered, its origin was lost, and it eventually fell into the Demon Realm. But its remains may contain earth veins and star monsters.

Another clone arrived at the Fallen Star Plain. Here, there are sword marks left by ancient powerful beings, which suppress the space. Under the intertwining of spatial Dao essence, it is possible to give birth to Void Stones. At the same time, the Fallen Star Plain itself is named because it is the place where many stars have fallen and returned to their ruins, and it may also contain earth vein star cores.

The last clone went directly to the Nine Realms Divine Continent.

This vast world possesses profound cultural heritage, and it is highly likely that Zhenyuan Stones will be born beneath some towering mountain ranges.

Most importantly, this world is different from the spirit world. In the spirit world, most famous mountains and great peaks have sects. Taking away the Zhenyuan Stone may cause changes in the earth's veins. Which sect would be willing to do that?

Even if Gu Yuanqing had the strength to take it away by force, such unwarranted bullying of the weak would be too domineering and unreasonable, and would not be in line with Gu Yuanqing's true nature.

In the Nine Realms Divine Continent, most of the land is demonic territory, so there is no such concern.

Gu Yuanqing himself then contacted Li Miaoxuan.

After most of the day had passed, once he returned to his cave dwelling and crushed the jade talisman, he used the Heavenly Fishing Technique to pull him back into the cave.

In the courtyard.

Gu Yuanqing handed over a blank sheet of paper.

Li Miaoxuan glanced at it and asked, "You want to refine a natal treasure?"

Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly and smiled, “The Linglong Realm consists of small worlds, and many things are difficult to produce. Some of these materials are still available in the Qingping Dao Palace, but many are still lacking. Qianyuan Island is currently located overseas and it is difficult to search for them on its own. After thinking it over, I can only trouble you, the Daoist disciple of the Lingxu Sect.”

Li Miaoxuan rolled her eyes at Gu Yuanqing, then looked at it carefully again, pointing to the paper and saying, "This, this, and this Flowing Light Sand and Zhenyuan Stone, these seem to be temporarily unavailable in the sect. Everything else is fine, it's just that the required quantity is a bit high. However, it doesn't matter, even if the Lingxu Sect doesn't have enough, we can exchange for them in the Yujie Alliance."

Gu Yuanqing said, "Take a look and see what Lingxu Sect needs from me in exchange?"

Li Miaoxuan put the plain paper back into her storage ring and shook her head, saying, "Forget it. If that's the case, I'll have to explain how I contacted you. I'll just say that I'm going to refine a magic weapon and exchange it for my own merits. That should be enough."

Gu Yuanqing smiled and didn't say anything more. There was no need for them to be so clear about things. He then said, "I see that your cultivation realm is already stable. Would you like to come with me to the Heavenly Demon Realm again?"

Li Miaoxuan shook her head and said, "I'll wait a little longer. Recently, the number of Heavenly Demons in the Outer Domain Battlefield has increased again, so I can't leave for too long. Besides, my understanding of the Great Dao is still lacking. If I were to improve it too much, my Dao foundation might become unstable, which would affect my subsequent cultivation. Killing some Heavenly Demons in the Outer Domain Battlefield every day is enough."

Gu Yuanqing raised an eyebrow slightly: "There are more now?"

Li Miaoxuan nodded: "Although we haven't seen any Undying Chaos beings, we have seen several Heavenly Demons at the Shattered Heaven level."

Gu Yuanqing asked, "Are there any of the Heavenly Demons mentioned in the jade slip I gave you last time?"

Li Miaoxuan shook her head: "It seems not."

Gu Yuanqing said, "It seems that the Heavenly Demon's lair is not limited to the Nine Domains Divine Continent. No wonder, when I used the magic array to track the Heavenly Demon's aura back then, only the Nine-Headed Demon Owl's aura reacted, while the Blood Sea Demon Lord and the Formless Shadow Demon remained unmoved."

Li Miaoxuan said, "Perhaps, but these Heavenly Demons are not a concern for now. We just need to see if anything changes later."

Gu Yuanqing smiled and said, "If there are any major changes, you can let me know. After all, I am also a person of this world."

Li Miaoxuan nodded, not worried at all. With Gu Yuanqing as her backing, even if a Heavenly Demon at the Void Immortal level came, she could handle it. She then looked Gu Yuanqing up and down and asked, "Have you reached the Great Perfection of the Chaotic Undying Realm?"

Gu Yuanqing poured tea for Li Miaoxuan and said with a smile, "The Nine Domains Divine Continent's Refining God Method has been of great help to me recently. You can study it more."

“Every world has its unique features, but there are indeed some parts that conflict with the original cultivation method. Let me study it further and then we can discuss it together,” Li Miaoxuan said.

"I'll be waiting anytime." Gu Yuanqing smiled and then asked, "Would you like to stay for a while this time?"

Li Miaoxuan shook her head: "Never mind, there are still many things to do at the Lingxu Sect. I have to go to the Yujie Alliance early tomorrow morning, which is a good opportunity to help you exchange for materials for refining treasures. I'll go and pay my respects to my father and then prepare to go back."

……

Meanwhile, the world where the Nine Realms Divine Continent is located is completely different from the world when Gu Yuanqing left last time.

The war between humanity and the demons has truly begun...
