Chapter 175

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The Three Rings of the Qiankun Ding shook the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands; even beyond the mortal realm, in the cosmos itself, this heavenly tone could be heard.

As the sound faded, many Emperor Weapons trembled in response.

In an instant, the entire universe grew tense.

"Who is it?"

"Which Emperor Weapon has awakened?"

"Why can't we calculate it? Is it an Ancient Heavenly Sovereign, an Ancient Emperor, or is the Immortal Path about to open?"

In the end, even the Heavenly Sovereigns and Ancient Emperors of forbidden zones could not deduce even a shred of useful information.

"Thankfully, the Chat Group suppresses the Heavenly Fate—otherwise… it would've been dangerous." Zhang Taixuan's face was full of exasperation as he stared at the Qiankun Ding before him. "My Heaven-Computing Art is strong, yet even I struggle to hide the calculations of Emperors."

The Qiankun Ding spun in place, offering no reaction whatsoever.

At this moment, though merely a King-level Divine Weapon, it could stand toe-to-toe with a Saint-Master Weapon without yielding.

Its essence was absurdly high—no wonder Emperor Weapons from beyond responded.

Using Chaos Catastrophe Light to refine it once more, after several days, the Qiankun Ding became perfectly obedient again; he returned it to his Immortal Platform and nurtured it with divine power.

He then took out the Star-Measuring Ruler.

First, he imprinted the nine spiritual arts he had comprehended from the Immortal Metal into the Ruler, lighting up its nine star seals—immediately, the Star Ruler's power surged.

Next, Zhang Taixuan took out numerous Immortal Metals and, following the refinement method of the Qiankun Ding, fused ten Immortal Metal materials into it.

More than ten days later, a bronze-colored ruler, wreathed in chaotic aura, appeared before him.

The bronze ruler exuded noble elegance; forty-nine stars glowed upon it, and nine of those stars were linked together.

"With Chaos Catastrophe Light, I shouldn't need to flee unless facing an Emperor."

Although after Immortal Stage Three, each minor realm was a difference between heaven and earth, and each major realm brought a thousandfold or ten-thousandfold gap in power—even more.

Yet, with the nine spiritual arts connected, the power amplification was terrifyingly immense—reaching 10^9 times, or one hundred million times.

Even if confined to Immortal Stage Three, he could erase the gap of two to three major realms, fighting back against Immortals—utterly terrifying.

"This is the true treasure for protecting oneself and certifying the Dao!"

He activated his will to refine it, continuing until it responded perfectly to his intent, then stored it on his Immortal Platform to continue nurturing.

After these tasks, the only divine material left was a piece of Chaos Stone, fist-sized.

"I'll store this away—it'll come in handy later."

He now possessed the ultimate treasure Qiankun Ding, the Star-Measuring Ruler, and the Taixuan Sword held by his Saint Spirit Avatar—seeming like many, yet in truth, not enough.

If he activated the One Qi, Three Clear Forms technique, each avatar would need a divine weapon, plus his own body—he'd need at least four. He was still one short.

As for the Taiyu Tower, it offered little enhancement to cultivators; he had no intention of refining it deeply, only planning to use it for leisure and entertainment.

Thinking of the One Qi, Three Clear Forms technique, Zhang Taixuan took out his Saint Spirit Avatar again.

At this point, the Saint Spirit Avatar had grown considerably.

Yet now that he possessed spiritual techniques, Zhang Taixuan no longer intended to leave it languishing in his Dantian.

Previously, without avatar techniques, he had used the Saint Spirit Avatar too crudely.

He could only pour his entire soul into the avatar for battle—similar to how Ye Hei used his Saint Body avatar—utterly unable to fight with both body and avatar simultaneously.

As a result, the Saint Spirit Avatar had become a burden.

He shifted his intent and entered it.

【You have comprehended the Saint Spirit Avatar. Based on the principles of numerous body-casting methods, you quickly understood its mysteries. You have created the method to forge the Saint Spirit Body.】

【You activated your heart method, using the One Qi, Three Clear Forms technique to return to the origin, beginning cultivation of One Qi, Three Clear Forms.】

As the technique activated, the Saint Spirit Avatar slowly shrank, eventually melting into a slender, white, condensed stream.

This was the Saint Spirit Avatar's origin.

Even the Taixuan Sword was fused into this origin.

Then, the white qi swirled and transformed into a man whose appearance matched Zhang Taixuan's exactly.

From this moment on, though still called a Saint Spirit, the avatar had undergone a revolutionary change.

Previously, the avatar was born of cosmic evolution.

0 ····Requesting flowers······ ······

Now, this avatar was forged by Zhang Taixuan through One Qi, Three Clear Forms—every single cell bore his imprint; he might as well be called a clone.

Beyond the Saint Spirit's altered appearance and nature, the Taixuan Sword also underwent re-evolution; during this process, Zhang Taixuan added the last piece of Chaos Stone. Now, the sword no longer looked like stone—it gleamed with cold light, brimming with lethal intent.

"Too bad I fused it once and returned to origin—the avatar lost all power, retaining only its body. Sigh… I'll have to cultivate it slowly from now on."

Though the One Qi, Three Clear Forms technique can be activated with magic power, doing so would inevitably split his own magic power into four parts, impairing his combat endurance.

Using divine materials to forge an avatar eliminates this problem.

But it consumes far more resources.

Life is never perfect; Zhang Taixuan could only accept this reality.

... 0 0

With a thought, the Saint Spirit Avatar merged into his own origin, indistinguishable from it, making him feel his physical strength had increased slightly.

"If I can cultivate the Saint Spirit Avatar to match my own realm, even without activating One Qi, Three Clear Forms, my power will multiply many times over!"

Thinking this, he took out a thread of World Origin.

This thread of World Origin was a gift from the Lesser Zhang World.

Since One Qi, Three Clear Forms offered such benefits, Zhang Taixuan naturally intended to strike while the iron was hot—using World Origin to evolve a Three Clear Avatar.

With prior experience, evolving a Three Clear Avatar posed no difficulty.

"This time, I'll evolve a Chaos Body."

As his thought arose, the world's origin changed, and chaotic qi spread everywhere.

In a moment.

The world's origin before his eyes vanished, transforming into a great cocoon, woven through with chaotic qi.

"Huh!" Zhang Taixuan was startled; after a brief calculation, he understood the reason: "Three more world origins are still needed to evolve the Chaotic Body. It seems this cannot be achieved overnight."

With a thought, the chaotic cocoon merged into his body. Instantly, Zhang Taixuan felt a vast torrent of origin qi surging in—stronger than the Holy Spirit Avatar by at least tenfold.

"Even before fully evolving, it grants such terrifying enhancement. No wonder the Chaotic Body is coveted—many are killed before even attaining the Dao. If such a physique ever achieves the Dao, how could the Supreme Beings in the Forbidden Zones ever sleep?"
