Chapter 60 Research on the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm
No sooner had he finished speaking than the Emperor sensed that the runes had been destroyed.

"Is he afraid I'll monitor him through the runes?"

That's being way too cautious.

.........

Jiang Bai felt refreshed after destroying the runes. He got up and checked the Divine Earth World inside and out. After confirming that there was no one else around, he breathed a sigh of relief.

One reason he later stopped living on Mount Sumeru was that he had created the divine world, and another reason was that there were too many peeping Tombs, and he was too embarrassed to modify Mount Sumeru.

A group of supreme beings from forbidden zones, immortal emperors, and emperors were all secretly watching him.

After everything was settled, Jiang Bai began to study the Divine Child and the Little Divine Silkworm.

The Divine Child's physique is very special. The spirit of the immortal artifact takes human form, comparable to the Chaos Body, and can directly attain enlightenment regardless of whether others have attained enlightenment before him.

Jiang Bai named Shenwa's physique the Spirit Immortal Body, placing it alongside the Chaos Body.

After some thought, Jiang Bai decided to have the Divine Child compete against the next generation's Dao Prover in order to give the unlucky ones a boost.

And for some reason, the Divine Child named himself Yu Feng in this life, calling himself the Peak at the End of the Universe, which is incredibly arrogant.

Jiang Bai had no choice but to reluctantly spank him.

It was really awesome.

Shenwa Yufeng's contribution to Jiang Bai was minimal; after all, no matter how extraordinary his physique was, it was at most on par with the Chaos Body.

But the little silkworm is different; this creature is a bug.

In the original work, this little divine silkworm lived one life as the younger brother of the God Emperor, one life with the Divine Silkworm Princess, and then lived another life through Nirvana. It survived as a foundation in Ye Fan's Heavenly Court, living three lives before attaining enlightenment.

Its total lifespan has exceeded that of the Great Emperor.

The life Jiang Bai is now living is the new life of the Little Divine Silkworm after she lost all her memories in her previous life as the younger brother of the God Emperor due to a problem with her cultivation. The timeline comparison will follow the life of the Divine Silkworm Princess.

Looking at the little silkworm that had transformed into a small dragon with innocent eyes, Jiang Bai knocked him unconscious without any hesitation. He then used his divine sense to examine the silkworm's origin and the traces left by its cultivation techniques.

Especially the divine silkworm's innate supernatural power, the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm.

Nine transformations led to the attainment of the Dao, and ten transformations astonished the past and present, allowing the God Emperor to live through a long period of time in the ancient era.

But this is not the most amazing thing about the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm. The most amazing thing is that after the Divine Emperor fell into the River of Souls and was corrupted by something strange, he actually managed to "come back to life" by relying on this innate divine power.

Throughout history, from the ancient times of immortals, no, even further back, countless people have fallen into darkness.

Even someone as powerful as Emperor Bone, a Celestial Emperor, was forced to undergo a process of dismemberment by the strange race in order to escape; he couldn't break free on his own.

The Grand Elder, Huo Ling'er, and the others were rescued by the Desolate Emperor after he broke through the cage.

The God Emperor broke free, returned, and went into hiding among the strange race. Isn't that astonishing?

The Divine Emperor most likely relied on his innate divine ability, the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm.

Therefore, Jiang Bai was very curious to know the underlying principles of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm.

He had previously considered getting a member of the Divine Silkworm Clan, or even using his relationship with the Ancient Emperor Qilin and others to study the Divine Silkworm Daoist, the Ancient Emperor's biological son.

However, after seeing the Divine Silkworm Daoist who had entered the strange world with the Qilin Ancient Emperor and others, Jiang Bai gave up.

This guy is very talented, but he didn't complete the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm, or rather, he didn't complete it completely.

The authentic Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm should be like the Little Divine Silkworm, where each transformation is a rebirth. However, the Divine Silkworm Daoist did not undergo a complete rebirth; he was more like an ordinary cultivator walking the path of cultivation. Now that he had the Little Divine Silkworm in his hands, Jiang Bai naturally wanted to study it carefully.

If the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm and the Alchemy Method can be integrated, then the Alchemy Method will have a basis for confronting the strange race in the future, and will not be corrupted and cut off like the Secret Realm Method in the future.

More importantly, Jiang Bai himself has resistance to the strange corruption, and he might even be able to go undercover and rise to power by taking advantage of the resources of the strange race.

They are all struggling to overcome difficulties.

The research on the little silkworm quickly yielded some results.

Through the fundamental changes of the little divine silkworm, Jiang Bai saw a major characteristic of the nine transformations of the divine silkworm: annihilation and rebirth.

Each transformation brings about a change from the inside out, greatly expanding the origin, which is similar to the Nirvana Heavenly Venerable's Nirvana Heavenly Power.

Especially the last point, the origin is greatly expanded.

In Jiang Bai's deduction, this point is not considered significant before the Great Emperor Realm, and it is not far behind some of the top human physiques and powerful races in the universe.

However, after reaching the Great Emperor realm, it becomes extremely terrifying, increasing exponentially, which explains why the God Emperor has such a long lifespan.

And then, he becomes an immortal at the eleventh stage, a celestial king at the twelfth stage, and a quasi-celestial emperor at the thirteenth stage.

With each change, the origin expands to the point where one can directly enter the next great realm.

At this point in his deduction, Jiang Bai couldn't help but wonder if the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm was a contingency plan left behind by a super big shot in an era when the strange race had sacrificed themselves.

It's not impossible. There were glorious eras in the heavens before Emperor Bone, and there were also several glorious periods in the heavens after Emperor Bone.

Those eras also had their own peerless geniuses.

In addition, the Divine Silkworm undergoes nine transformations, each time transforming into various other forms, much like how, after rebirth, the ancient bloodline awakens and changes its form.

This wouldn't make sense without an amazing ancestor.

Fortunately, the universe of "Covering the Sky" doesn't care about how awesome your ancestors were, so your awesome bloodline is also destined to be awesome.

Following this line of thought, Jiang Bai discovered that the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm also involved a process similar to an insect transforming into a cocoon and a cocoon transforming into a butterfly.

The silkworm undergoes nine transformations, but before each transformation, there is a requirement: it must accumulate everything it has to a certain degree, just like a silkworm needs to accumulate everything it has to a certain degree before it can actively transform into a cocoon.

Once the divine silkworm has accumulated enough, it can initiate its transformation on its own. After success, it will transform into a butterfly and be reborn, naturally taking on a new form.

The key is that this process is repeated.

Having studied this far, Jiang Bai felt a bit numb. He seemed to know how the God Emperor had escaped the eerie darkness.

After being corrupted by darkness, a new primordial spirit will be born within oneself, just like Huo Ling'er, who was corrupted by darkness and a dark Huo Ling'er was born in her body.

However, this Dark Fire Spirit was born from the original spirit and body of the Fire Spirit, and the two are connected. It even inherited some of the emotions of its predecessor.

The original spirit of Huo Ling'er was imprisoned in a dark cage.

The God Emperor probably went through the same process.

However, Jiang Bai guessed that it was very likely that during the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm, the Dark God Emperor's primordial spirit was transformed into the foundation for transformation, allowing the God Emperor's primordial spirit to return silently and enter a higher stage.

"If that's the case, it seems I can really incorporate the process of the Nine Transformations of the Divine Silkworm into the alchemy."

Jiang Bai looked at the golden core within his body and murmured.
