A person in Japan, a sword that soars to immortality.

Like a hot knife through butter, the body formed by thick, intertwined vines was effortlessly cleaved in two by Taiyi's sword energy.

Just as the last trace of true energy in his body was exhausted, the enormous embryo of the Pangu Flower appeared in Taiyi's eye.

"So this is the inner core of the Pangu Flower...?"

As if sensing someone approaching, the inner core opened like the membrane of a chicken egg, revealing a series of young, terrified human faces inside.

These people all have the same face, but by looking at their pupils and hair color, it can be seen that they look exactly like adult celestial beings.

Ding!

[Primordial Sword Qi exhausted, cooldown period...]

Just as the system notification sounded in their minds and their physical strength began to rapidly fade, the faces inside the Pangu Flower embryo suddenly revealed sinister smiles.

Pfft!

The sound of flesh being pierced rang out, and several vines pierced into Taiyi's body from all directions, beginning to frantically absorb the true energy within him.

However, Taiyi did not sever these vines and tentacles immediately. Instead, he stared at the inner core, and the look in his eyes gradually became fierce.

The Pangu Flower absorbed the energy quickly, but the Qianyang True Qi that Jikuni Yoriichi left in the Taiyi Body was enormous.

On the contrary, by having some of his true energy extracted, his already blurred body began to gradually pull the scattered particles back into his body.

"You can smoke, but I can't!"

"Come on! Let's see who can suck it the fastest!"

Continuing to grip the hilt with both hands in reverse, Taiyi aimed at the embryonic bead and thrust it in without hesitation.

As various infants cried and wailed, cyan energy began to surge wildly into Taiyi's body through the opening of the Undying Blade.

The golden elixir in the central palace ignites with elixir fire, refining the inhaled flower essence into a gentler form of true energy, which is then sent into the meridians throughout the body.

The skin on my body gradually stopped becoming granular, and the wood-like texture appeared and disappeared on the skin's surface.

The blurred senses became clear, and the two kinds of true energy within the body, under the harmonization of Taiyi's divine soul power, began to establish a stable balance.

"So the energy of flowers has this effect. It doesn't require any specific cultivation method; it inherently possesses stable and neutral properties."

It seems there was a reason why Xu Fu and Lian settled on Paradise Island.

With this flower's energy, as long as it is well controlled, cultivators don't need to form a core; they can directly absorb the various elemental energies floating in the air into their bodies.

For Taiyi, the concept of plantification simply doesn't exist.

Unlike the characters in the original Hell Music story who didn't know how to breathe and circulate energy, the flower energy he inhaled was completely proportionate.

The Pangu Flower beneath its feet also sensed something amiss. Although it was absorbing the other party's true energy, the other party was also absorbing its own natal flower energy.

If this continues, my embryonic pearl might wither away, making it unable to control the vast amounts of various energies stored within my body.

Pangu Flower began to fight back, but it was, after all, just a plant, and had no other means of attack besides using its branches to strike and stab.

Thump, thump, thump sounded as several vine tentacles, like steel whips, lashed out at Taiyi, but this attack did not cause him any harm at all.

"This kind of tickling attack is really unnecessary."

Taiyi revealed a disdainful smile, and then thrust the knife a little deeper, continuing to fiercely absorb the life essence of the Pangu Flower.

Thanks to Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the massive influx of Qian Yang Qi provided him with enough energy for his physical transformation, and even more.

The Five Elements converge to form the Sun, forging the strongest physique to cross the sea of ​​suffering in the longevity journey.

This realm, which only existed in imagination, was unexpectedly achieved.

At this stage, all that's needed is to use the energy of flowers to balance the excessively strong Yang energy within the body; the rest is simply a matter of gradual transformation.

"Taiyi."

While pondering, Lian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

With its teeth still biting the other's embryo, the sound was naturally transmitted through the soul.

"Your talent in the path of Qi Refining has truly broadened my horizons."

"Judging from your current situation, you want to use the path of body refinement, along with soul refinement, to achieve the unity of spirit and flesh and forcibly reach the other shore of immortality, right?"

Ok?

Raising an eyebrow, Taiyi listened to Lian's question, his expression only slightly shifting, but he did not reply.

I was slightly surprised, but then I regained my composure.

Although his method of achieving immortality combined the essence of his predecessors, the final effect was something that no one had ever achieved before.

In the traditional view of cultivators, one can only choose one of the two paths of cultivating the primordial spirit and refining the body; they cannot pursue both simultaneously.

The reason is that I don't have enough energy and time.

"So what?"

Taiyi continued absorbing the information while replying expressionlessly.

"You can still use your true energy to suppress the Pangu Flower, right?"

Lian's words rang out again, but after she finished speaking, Taiyi felt a little uneasy.

He quickly used his divine soul power to investigate and found that both the lotus's wisp of residual primordial spirit and the Pangu flower under his feet were suppressed by him.

The idea of ​​self-destruction is simply not possible.

This isn't a domestic production; Taiyi wouldn't do something like holding a grenade in his mouth.

"Taiyi, whether you suppress me with your divine soul power or resist the attack of the Pangu Flower with your true qi, it is actually your will that is mobilizing your qi."

"Intention is also a manifestation of the power of the soul."

A cool, clear female voice slowly recounted Taiyi's current actions.

What was she trying to say?

His hands gripped the knife handle more tightly without him even realizing it.

He began to analyze the situation in his mind, but in the end, he really couldn't guess why Lian was saying all this.

"A shell, a powerful shell, ah."

"Do you know that when the physical body becomes too powerful, it eventually becomes a prison for the soul?"

After Lian finished speaking, her embryo began to tremble slightly.

Faced with this situation, Taiichi naturally increased his control over her.

But at that moment, Lian suddenly followed Taiyi's pressure and completely released her control over the embryo.

In an instant, the uncontrollable Qianyang power belonging to Lian spread out all at once and immediately merged into Taiyi's body.

"What are you doing? You're even going to agree to this...?"

"You can do that too!!!"

He was momentarily stunned, then let himself absorb the yang energy.

It had already absorbed a lot of energy from the Pangu Flower, but now it was absorbing the Qianyang energy of the lotus, which could be considered as making up for the deficit.

However, although the amount of this Yang energy was not as much as what Yoriichi Tsugikuni left him, it was still far greater than what the Pangu Flower absorbed.

And so, as Lian completely gave up on herself, all her life's cultivation was merged into Taiyi's body.

As Taiyi's physical body was replenished with more Qianyang Qi, it became increasingly solid and powerful.

Those dissipated particles, just like the principle of reversal when things reach their extremes, were suddenly pulled back into the body.

At the same time, Taiyi's spiritual power's sensitivity to the outside world also rapidly decreased until, after a few breaths, it completely lost all feeling.

"Lian, you old folks are really a handful."

Taiyi lowered his head, his skin radiating a golden light, and the three-legged golden crow pattern on his forehead also became dazzling.

At this moment, his physical body was so solid that it was unprecedented, and it even exuded an undying charm.

But it is precisely because of this that his physical body seems to have become an indestructible, airtight castle.

It isolated it from all external harm, as well as from the internal spiritual power and the spread and influence of the released true energy.

Because the Pangu Flower had lost too much of its natal flower energy, and was now free from the suppression of the Taiyi Body's true energy, its enormous body began to swell up with large bulges.

Even without the perception of his soul, Taiyi sensed from his body's instincts that the plant beneath his feet was about to explode.

And the power of its explosion will be earth-shattering!
