Practice begins with immortality

Hearing the traveler's words, Wang Bai frowned and asked in confusion, "If that's the case, since no one has ever reached the realm of physical perfection, then where does the idea of ​​physical body sanctification come from?"

The traveler was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I can't remember it anymore. Come with me to the place where I carved the inscription."

"At the beginning, I was worried that I would forget those precious memories one day, so I engraved them on a stone tablet," the traveler explained.

Afterwards, Wang Bai followed the traveler into a deep cave.

After entering the cave, what comes into view is a huge stone tablet that is ten feet high, and the surface of the tablet is covered with dense and obscure symbols.

Looking at the inscription in front of him that he had left with his own hands, the traveler's face showed a look of enlightenment.

"So that's how it is!" The traveler turned to Wang Bai and said, "The idea of ​​achieving sainthood through the flesh is a tradition passed down by the cultivators of the immortal world."

"Monks from the immortal world? Are they all immortals?" Wang Bai asked curiously.

"That's not the case. They haven't become immortals yet. They are still just ordinary cultivators." The traveler replied.

"Immortals cannot descend to the mortal world at will. It seems to be because of the laws of heaven. The immortal world also has the laws of heaven, or rather, the laws of heaven in all the heavens and worlds are only a part of it."

"And the reason they came down to the mortal realm was to preach and develop the myriad realms, just like how monks today would cross realms to develop newly discovered worlds."

"As far as I know, the original universe was not what it is today."

"Legend has it that at that time, when the world was first created, countless worlds existed within and outside of them, each possessing a variety of naturally powerful creatures. At that time, the myriad worlds undoubtedly belonged to them."

"However, as time passed, pioneers emerged from within those weaker intelligent races, such as the human race. To protect themselves, they developed various seemingly simple cultivation methods to strengthen themselves."

"After generations of unremitting efforts and innovation, these cultivation methods have gradually become more and more profound. And because the environments of each world are different, the cultivation methods they give rise to are also different."

"However, to this day, only the Immortal Path stands out. Because it is inherited from the Immortal Realm, it is not only powerful, but its potential far exceeds that of other local cultivation methods."

"After all, this immortal path is the brilliant crystallization created by countless immortals over countless years in the immortal world!"

"The Mysterious Hunling Art actually came from the fairyland." The traveler looked at Wang Bai and said seriously.

"Achieving sainthood in the flesh, after all, should be achieved in the Immortal Realm," the traveler continued, explaining, "After all, the Immortal Realm is rich in spiritual energy and possesses unique spiritual energy methods not found in the other heavens and myriad realms. It's more suitable for practitioners to elevate their realm."

"But it's not completely impossible to achieve sainthood in the flesh in the lower realm. Since the Mysterious Soul Mixing Art has been passed down, it means that those cultivators in the immortal realm also believe that it is still possible to achieve sainthood in the flesh here."

Hearing this, Wang Bai couldn't help but ask, "Then how can one achieve sainthood in the flesh in the lower realm?"

The traveler smiled slightly and replied, "I vaguely remember that there is indeed a method within the technique that can lead to a breakthrough, but it is too difficult and not worth it, so almost no one tries it."

After saying this, the traveler looked at Wang Bai with a deep gaze and asked softly, "Do you want the complete Hunling Xuan Gong?"

Wang Bai hadn't recovered from the message and was momentarily stunned. Seeing this, the traveler didn't wait for his response, but continued, "If you want, not only can I give you the complete Hunling Xuan Gong, I can even give you the inheritance left by the Buddha."

"However, you must fulfill Buddha's last wish. Only those who respect and fulfill his wishes are qualified to inherit his things."

"Last wish? What is it?"

"I don't remember. Futu has been dead for too long. I've been torn apart and reunited countless times in that long time, and I've lost too much memory. But in his natal vessel are the things he left behind and his last wishes."

"Is it the pagoda? People from the outside world come here for this top-grade spiritual treasure." Wang Bai said.

"That's it. But I feel like I forgot something about it." The traveler said with some distress.

Seeing the traveler's expression, Wang Bai asked with some confusion: "Could it be that there is danger in the pagoda, or in the pagoda itself?"

"The pagoda is fine. What I forgot seems to be related to its grade."

"The reason why the pagoda was destroyed by the fire, one of the three disasters, seems to be because the pagoda's advancement intensified the disaster."

"Then, the current pagoda might be an eight-story stupa, which is an innate spiritual treasure!" Wang Bai guessed.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." The traveler said to him.

"Then, do you know where the pagoda is?" Wang Bai asked.

"It is, of course, in the very center of the Buddha Realm," the Monkey King replied. "If you trust me, let me enter your spirit. Then I can teach you everything about the pagoda so that you can better understand it."

"If you think I have ill intentions towards you, you can just leave. I'm about to disappear and can't hold on for much longer. Besides, I don't think I can beat you." The traveler added.

"This isn't a trap set by Futu. His soul has long been shattered. The most fundamental part of it has long since returned to heaven and earth."

After saying that, he looked at Wang Bai and observed his reaction.

Wang Bo only thought for a moment, then his spirit left his body and he said, "Come in!"

The traveler looked at Wang Bai in surprise and couldn't help asking, "Are you absolutely sure or is there some other reason? Why do you believe me so easily?"

"Forget it, there is no need to think about these things anymore. I can finally be free." The traveler sighed and said.

"With my soul, it will be easier for you to conquer the pagoda. I hope you won't be blinded by greed in the end." The traveler reminded.

"By the way, let me tell you one last thing: don't let anyone see the vertical pupil between your eyebrows." The traveler said seriously.

Afterwards, the walker's soul shattered and merged into Wang Bo's soul.

At the same time, in the center of the Buddha world.

There was a huge spire on the ground, and its body was buried deep underground.

Then, a huge dragon claw appeared in the sky, trying to break it open.

However, the next moment, the dragon claws disappeared.

Seeing his moves disappear in an instant, Ji Haoshen's face became a little gloomy.

"Brother Ji, it seems you have no other options." A ball of starlight spoke in a voice transmission. This person was none other than the descendant of Yaoguang.

"Indeed, do you have any good ideas? If we don't break down this stone tower, no one can get that thing."

"We can't break this stone tower alone. How about we join forces?"
