Chapter 380: Forging the True Indestructible with the Five Indestructibles!
Because Du En could manifest the Samadhi Pagoda dharma treasure here, which contains Buddhist principles and mysteries, Meng Changqing extracted the essence from it and found common ground with the Vajra Tyrant Body, merging them into the essentials of the Samadhi Vajra.
Upholding the Samadhi, external evils cannot invade; the Vajra is firm and spiritual, solid and grounded in principle; its tyrannical power and virtue can shatter all things!
This is the full picture of the Daoist art that reached Du En's hands, far more formidable than the original version Jiang Ying cultivated; it can be called the ceiling of Yellow-grade Daoist arts, achieving comprehensive coverage from spirit to body! "No, actually it's still lacking quite a bit."
Du En evaluated and judged calmly, his gaze shifting as he reached a conclusion, "Firmness is firm, strength is strong, but it still lacks sufficient flexibility and buffering, as well as the explosive power of hard crowd control. If I only use the Inexhaustible Azure Spirit Body to sustain it, it's just burning resources to brake. To satisfy the first point of deficiency, since the braking body can be replaced or repaired easily for me, there is no major problem."
It is a rather clumsy method of wear-and-tear splicing, yet it happens to be very suitable for Du En.
But right now, this is actually not good enough; this only satisfies the first point.
He still has a better choice!
Sacred Blood Scripture, Blood God Body!
With unyielding determination, the Blood God is immortal! Blood is flesh and blood, God is the primordial spirit. The Blood God Body created by the Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sacred Sect was actually just a rough framework; because he entered the demonic path before finishing the cultivation method for the Spirit Transformation stage, it lacked much refinement.
But because of this, it was easier to cultivate, and Du En, having once recompiled and written that scripture, understood it by heart and could easily extract its essence for his own use.
Thus, using the Inexhaustible Azure Spirit Body as the prerequisite carrier, then applying the outer frame and inner drive of the Blood God Body, filling it with the tyrannical Indestructible Bone of the Samadhi Vajra, and finally using the Yaohua Body that the Yaohua Canon itself would evolve into as the actual new flesh and blood, he could synthesize everything and evolve a unique, unprecedented new Yaohua Body!
"Indestructible Yaohua Body..."
The Blood God is unceasing, hence it is called Indestructible.
It is firm and incorruptible, hence it is called Indestructible.
The Samadhi is unmoving, hence it is called Indestructible.
The Azure Spirit is inexhaustible, hence it is called Indestructible.
The Yaohua is immortal, hence it is called Indestructible!
With these five "indestructibles," one can forge the True Indestructible! Du En organized his thoughts, finished nesting them together, and gave it a name now to save himself from having to pause for a moment later.
"With this, I can break through..."
Because he had previously reserved the key point for the True Flame Secret Art breakthrough and only needed one more practice to pull up the level of the Yaohua Canon, Du En did not hesitate and continued to step forward.
He had already arrived in front of a black steel pavilion.
The black steel was cold, and the architecture it shaped was like a shadow of darkness. Following the presentation of his token and stepping inside, it was as if he had been swallowed by the abyss-mouth of this Central Capital.
Du En completely used up the reward obtained from the last operation and newly selected a location most suitable for a breakthrough.
Skyfire Falling Valley!
Legend has it that a divine bird once fell to the ground, like skyfire descending, smashing out the ten-thousand-foot valley before him.
Du En knew that was not false; in fact, the situation was even more exaggerated! It was the Phoenix God Venerable who once fell here, having fallen powerlessly from the starry sky because they could not defeat the Falling Feather Supreme head-on! Even if it was not the final place of death in the Red Parasol Mountains, Phoenix blood still spilled here, igniting the spiritual veins and turning them into raging flames. Just by stepping in, the Phoenix's lingering resentment began to rebel, and the reaction was extremely intense! Because the flames here, although no longer pure Phoenix fire, were very pure and could be cut off by the Immortal Sect as a whole to serve as a place for sect members to cultivate special techniques and Daoist arts.
The Phoenix's lingering resentment did not know whether to hate that this residual fire was being utilized by enemies, or to hate that the residual fire, which originated from the same source, could be so naive as to maintain this purity and create such a precious place for cultivation.
In short, it took Du En quite a bit of effort to suppress it back first.
Looking up and facing it squarely, he saw raging earth fire mixed with skyfire, with Phoenix fire at the root; these three fires burned in the valley, immortal for ten thousand years.
Samadhi, Indestructible, Phoenix fire... what suitable conditions for his cultivation!
Without hesitation, he directly used the Empty Mulberry Mountain to copy and replicate it first.
Then, he took out the Mother Stone jade slip, melted it in the fire, and transformed it into the Samadhi Pagoda.
Amidst the shrouding treasure light, there was the steadfastness of the Samadhi. Du En quietly swallowed the scalding Purple Essence Mother Liquid into his belly; it felt like hot oil sizzling, but he did not change his expression. Only after being fully prepared in this way did he jump straight into the fire valley.
In an instant, the Samadhi fire swept over.
He released part of his suppression on the Phoenix's lingering resentment, and immediately, a ferocious phoenix cry erupted.
This caused the entire Skyfire Falling Valley to riot along with it. The sky had one color, the earth had one color, and the remainder had one color; the Samadhi had three colors. It was as if three of the five virtues were rushing over to correct the mistake made at the time of death.
At this moment, Du En suppressed the Phoenix's lingering resentment again, keeping it from escaping his body, while he himself welcomed this surging Samadhi fire.
The Samadhi Pagoda suddenly emitted an unusual light, acting as a transfer device for the Samadhi at this moment. The raging fire seemed to notice the abnormality on his side; the fire of lingering resentment was well-contained within his body, becoming the source of the Red-Gold True Flame. Thus, the surging force slowed down and actually took the initiative to cooperate with the Samadhi Pagoda, the explosive heat just happening to help him absorb the Purple Essence Mother Stone and harmonize and stimulate the refining of the essences of all his bodies.
The red base, dotted with golden pupils, seemed to faintly reflect three other colors.
The Phoenix's lingering resentment became increasingly furious at this, but unfortunately, fury was useless; the flames it erupted would only become the foundation of the Yaohua and the driving force for Du En's cultivation.
It did not take long at all.
The secret art breakthrough was complete!
【Spell: Phoenix Red True Flame (Grandmaster 0/500)】
The True Flame Pupils became increasingly profound, and the golden light suddenly became intense; the Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze was also driven by it.
【Spell: Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze (Minor Achievement 80/100)】
It was not far from a breakthrough; it looked like that.
However, the spells that the Phoenix Red True Flame could pull up now also included the Earth-Wood Sacred Refining, which also belonged to the fire element! 【Spell: Earth-Wood Sacred Refining (Mastery 0/300)】
Thus, after the breakthrough occurred here, it was no longer treated as equivalent to a Yellow-grade Daoist art, but was already equivalent to a Profound-grade Daoist art, which in turn pulled up the Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze.
Proficiency increased by another fifty points!
Breakthrough!
【Spell: Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze (Mastery 30/300)】
In an instant, Du En saw that in the Samadhi fire, there were truly three points of different colors trying to squeeze out from the void. Because of his observation, it triggered a resonance, which was sound after sound of clear cries.
Following the resonance, he did not hesitate and directly took them in, returning them to his eyes.
Faintly, the True Flame Pupils changed, but it was not yet obvious and had not manifested into a real change; there was only a feeling that the backbone had been replenished and perfected.
Looking at the Skyfire Falling Valley again, everything remained the same; the situation just now felt like an illusion. "The Phoenix's legacy..."
The point now was not actually on this.
But on the cultivation method.
Pulling up! Pulling up! Pulling up!
【Cultivation Method: Yaohua Canon (Minor Achievement 186278/100000)】
【Cultivation Method: Yaohua Canon (Mastery 86278/300000)】
The Phoenix Scarlet True Flame, as a grand synthesis, relied on the mutual promotion of peers to directly bring about a 150,000-point proficiency boost!
This is the powerful boost brought about by the quality discrepancy of this secret technique! It is truly a pity, as many previous stages could not trigger this kind of push because they lacked positive correlation and were not of the same peer category.
Looking at the present.
Just as the breakthrough occurred, the Samadhi Radiance and the Purple Essence Mother Stone were instantly swallowed by the spiritual body that was about to erupt in brilliance, because the body and primordial spirit, ravaged by a hatred even more violent than before, also followed the Sacred Blood Scripture, with crimson blood like fire flowing naturally from the cracks in the primordial spirit.
This blood, mixed with light, began to erupt from the deepest depths, altering the inexhaustible Green Spirit Body that served as the foundation.
Undying, undying, undying, undying, undying!
The principle of the Five Undyings converged into one light; this is the Undying Radiant Body completely taking shape!
The radiance shines, suppressing everything! The glow of a firefly, in the face of the sun, will only be completely swallowed and obscured by its brilliance.
Yet this light is both wildly domineering and peaceful, flashing by as if it were an illusion.
Only the Skyfire Falling Valley has returned to its beginning, as docile as a house sparrow.
He raised his head slightly again, his vision shifting to the Divine Palace; at this moment, the dream fire remained like a phantom, yet it emitted countless rays of undying rhyme, turning into dots and blossoms. The giant burning tree that originally served as the main body was no longer there; only star-fire like a ring wrapped around a halo of light.
That light is gentle and calm, yet it can also be incomparably domineering, so it trapped a ferocious fire phoenix in the very center; it chirped ferociously without stop, but it could not change the fact that it had been completely overwhelmed by the invisible light, passively becoming a well-behaved little sparrow.
Looking further up, there is the dome, which at this moment is only a pitch-black void, leading to who knows where, a path illuminated by light, leading straight to a distant place within.
"Just like the 'other shore' mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures, is it?"
Perhaps it was the Buddhist principles integrated into the Samadhi Vajra, but Du En subconsciously had this thought.
The calm eyes of the primordial spirit revealed a trace of contemplation.
"Du En! Du En! I know you're inside, hurry up, it's a life-or-death emergency!"
At this moment, from the outside, from beyond the Skyfire Falling Valley, from the entrance of the Black Steel Pavilion, came a scorched and urgent voice.
Du En broke away from his thoughts and first glanced at the panel to confirm the situation.
Cultivation increased by twelve points, normal circumstances.
Longevity increased by five hundred years, quite a lot.
Divine sense increased by one thousand miles, also normal.
Cultivation efficiency increased significantly, as even the spiritual root improved by two grades, reaching the category of a high-grade spiritual root.
"It was already close to mid-grade before, and with this spiritual body, it was a comprehensive coverage from inside to outside, from primordial spirit to flesh and blood, so it directly jumped two levels."
"As for the specific improvement, the cultivation speed has doubled... which is also normal, after all, not only has the base spiritual root improved, but the mastered classic now corresponds to the Void Refinement stage, the category of Profound-grade Daoist arts."
A bountiful harvest, wish fulfilled! With a fairly good mood, his expression seemingly having changed somewhat, Du En stepped out of the Black Steel Pavilion where the Skyfire Falling Valley was located and arrived at the entrance outside.
The person who had just called for help, Jiang Ying, petite yet powerful, was pacing back and forth like an ant on a hot pan, afraid that some Unmoving True Monarch would kill their way out, yet having other anxieties that kept her from leaving, so as soon as she saw Du En, she immediately darted over.
"Aren't you breaking through to the Spirit Severing stage? Why are you here instead of breaking through? Did you encounter some trouble?"
He asked directly, without beating around the bush, because it was visible to the naked eye that she would only come looking for him if she encountered problems in this regard.
"Sigh! I wanted to break through too, but the situation is much more troublesome than I thought!"
Jiang Ying sighed helplessly and recounted dejectedly, "Simply put, after the resolution heard that I had won the championship before, it chose the Vajra Tyrant Body as the Daoist art, and then came up with an idea for me: to use the opportunity of practicing this Daoist art to resolve the burden brought by the Supreme Fleshly Body."
Her Supreme Fleshly Body is known as the best of all strong bodies, the most domineering, most powerful, and most extreme; it is a purely extreme type of physical constitution that doesn't play any fancy tricks.
However, while strong, it also brings a great burden!
When a cultivator reaches the Spirit Severing stage, they need to transform the substantial into the void, turning substantial mana and cultivation into a more profound and elusive primordial spirit law, so as to approach and comprehend the principles and laws hidden beneath the substance.
However, the Supreme Fleshly Body is truly too strong; it can almost be used to counter-slay higher realms. Although Jiang Ying's development is still a bit short of that strength, it is already enough to be an oversized ballast, causing her mana, Nascent Soul, and other cultivation manifestations to be firmly dragged down and suppressed, making it difficult to break through upwards.
Hearing her explanation, Du En knew Meng Changqing's idea.
It was not to use external force to forcibly break the Supreme Fleshly Body, but to internally drive the tearing of this constitution, so that it would temporarily not become a burden, winning Jiang Ying the opportunity to break through.
The success rate is high! Because although constitutions can be compatible, there will also be phenomena of rejection. Practicing the Vajra Tyrant Body normally, without involving the core origin, is just a pure external wrapping of Daoist art; it can indeed make her stronger upon strength, after all, that is just wearing armor.
By adjusting and modifying it further, one could go deeper, and then use the internal friction brought by the collision of strengths to find that moment of breakthrough.
Even she herself had the simple idea from the beginning that when practicing this Daoist art, she would first make herself a mess, which should be an opportunity to break through.
Meng Changqing just further optimized it.
And then, an unexpected accident occurred!
"This, this, this, my Supreme Fleshly Body actually threw away its face and actively merged with the Vajra Tyrant Body!"
Jiang Ying was somewhat between laughter and tears; she never expected her constitution to be like this, it was simply unexpected, and she was completely unprepared.
"Hmm? Isn't the Supreme Fleshly Body said to have a supreme origin and be extremely repulsive to external involvement? Doesn't the Vajra Tyrant Body at most wrap a shell around it, adding flowers to the brocade?"
"Right, normally that's how it is. Born supreme, born to be strong, it's impossible to retreat so easily and create such a concession-like move. Furthermore, if the origin swallows other factors, it will also be tainted. Normally, it is impossible for it to do this by itself!"
Ignoring their anthropomorphic rhetoric, simply put, Jiang Ying's physical constitution chose to absorb the essence of the Daoist art. It looks stronger, but because of the inequality in quality, it is actually tainted and diluted.
—Don't look at the Vajra theory as very supreme, but the Vajra Tyrant Body is just a Yellow-grade Daoist art, and more of it is actually "impurities," failing to exhaust its supreme nature! Du En's absorption elements were only absorbing the essence; he never truly learned this Daoist art! So Jiang Ying couldn't figure out why this happened. She wanted to find Meng Changqing, but found that he had already thrown himself into his own two-handed grasp, and now even his clones had no time to operate. With no other choice, she had to come to Du En first, to avoid dragging it out and ending up with no hope at all! Since the spiritual body here keeps changing, maybe there's a way? (End of chapter)
