Practice begins with immortality

After Wang Bo swept away the four sects with thunderous force, the entire Great Xuan Realm seemed to have undergone a shocking transformation. With a wave of his hand, the isolation that enveloped the world, isolating them from the outside world, finally dissipated.

"I... am I back?" A man with a look of astonishment muttered to himself as he looked at the familiar yet somewhat strange scene in front of him.

"Oh my God, we are actually still alive!" Another person was so excited that tears filled his eyes, his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, people came back to their senses from their shock and began to talk about it.

"Look! How come all the Taoist statues in the temple are shattered to pieces?" someone shouted, pointing to a nearby temple. Everyone looked over and saw that the once solemn and majestic temple was now in ruins. None of the Taoist statues that had once been enshrined there had been spared, reduced to piles of broken stones.

"And, those village bullies don't seem to have returned either. Could it be that Heaven has taken them away?" This news was met with immediate cheers. Normally, these bullies exploited their power and exploited the people, earning them deep hatred from the villagers. Now that they knew they might have met with misfortune, everyone applauded.

However, even as people reveled in their escape and the disappearance of the evildoers, some attentive observers noticed other unusual circumstances. For example, the once almighty "immortals" who commanded the wind and rain were nowhere to be seen. This filled many with fear and unease, fearing that unexpected unrest might soon follow.

However, Wang Bo already had his own plans for all of this. He wasn't some demon or evil god born to destroy the world or create chaos.

In the next moment, a majestic, deafening voice suddenly rang out in the depths of everyone's mind without any warning: "I, Yuan Shu, am from another world. This world is full of strange creatures, and I want to eliminate them because I want to cultivate myself!"

This voice seemed to come from an ancient god, carrying with it unquestionable pressure and power, shocking everyone present.

Then, the mysterious and powerful being continued, "Don't panic, and don't act recklessly. I will send someone to guide you later. Also, from now on, you are forbidden to practice the methods you previously practiced. I have my own upright methods to teach you, and I will lead you on the true path of cultivation!"

Before he could finish his words, everyone felt a series of bizarre images suddenly emerge in their minds. These images flashed by as quickly as a stream of light, but were imprinted with incredible clarity deep in their consciousness.

"This... this is the 'Melting Furnace Hundred Aspects Gong'?" someone muttered in disbelief, their eyes widening. The image displayed a unique technique that used the body as a gigantic furnace, constantly burning and tempering the internal Qi and blood, thereby stimulating potential and breaking through the limits of the physical body.

"Using the body as a furnace to temper one's own qi and blood... Such a magical skill is simply unheard of!" Another person exclaimed, his face full of excitement and anticipation.

In addition, another martial arts master exclaimed, "This technique has a low threshold. Anyone with a sound mind can start practicing it, but it also has extraordinary potential. After achieving perfection, one can use the body as a furnace to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and forge it into something beneficial to the human body. It is truly an unprecedented skill!"

"Wait a minute, is there something wrong with Tiandi Lingji?"

...............

"I thought you, Old Wang, would claim to be a god descended from the heavens, with a sacred mission to save humanity?!"

At this moment, above the vast sky, Lao Gu's face was filled with suspicion. He asked in confusion, "If that's the case, with your status and abilities as a so-called 'god', wouldn't it be easy for you to rule this world?"

Facing Lao Gu's doubts and speculations, Wang Bo remained calm and replied slowly, "However, that is not the case. There is no such thing as an upper realm, and there are no gods who will descend from the sky to save the world."

After a brief pause, Wang Bo added, "After all, telling a lie is easy, but it takes countless lies to cover it up and make up for it. I disdain such behavior. Besides, I have no intention of boasting about myself as a high god, and I have no interest in ruling the world."

"Besides, I killed them only for my own cultivation, which is not very noble."

At this point, Wang Bai raised his head slightly and gazed into the distance, continuing to elaborate on his point of view: "Therefore, everything should be allowed to develop naturally. At most, I am just maintaining order. As for other matters, I will leave it to the world to decide for itself."

Hearing this, Lao Gu couldn't help but frown and asked, "If that's the case, then what is the purpose of the Furnace Hundred Phases Technique?"

"That was my attempt to purify the energy of this world. Those who practice that technique, upon achieving mastery, will have their own Qi and blood like a furnace, actively removing the negative elements of the energy. By absorbing the energy normally for cultivation, no one will become a demon again, or go down the same wrong path as before."

"This can be regarded as fundamentally cutting off the birth of the Transformed."

"Alright, next I'll keep an eye on this area and send tens or even millions of weaker minds, less than fifty levels high, to replace the original government officials to prevent unrest. Then we'll wait for the mastermind you mentioned to show up."

"What if he doesn't come? Or if he comes, what if you can't beat him?" Lao Gu said with some concern.

"If he doesn't come, I will destroy a few more major sects. Besides, if he is really stronger than me, then I will be very happy." Wang Bai said meaningfully.

After hearing this, Lao Gu felt that the mastermind behind the incident was in big trouble.
