Chapter 614

Jie Ming withdrew his thoughts and took out an Entropy Brain from his bosom.

A fist-sized blue crystal, with light spots flowing slowly inside, like a solidified starry sky.

He first recalled the Fate System knowledge and fate knowledge he had learned in the past few decades, confirming that he had completely remembered those contents.

Then, under his control, his spiritual power probed into the Entropy Brain.

The blue light spots surged into his spiritual sea.

Those pieces of knowledge he had just remembered but didn't quite understand were quickly sorted and filed under the power of the Entropy Brain.

Jie Ming closed his eyes, feeling those pieces of knowledge becoming orderly in his mind, like a tangled mess being straightened out one by one.

Then, he felt another kind of change.

Deep in his soul, something was being touched.

Jie Ming immediately distinguished that it was not the effect of the Entropy Brain; the Entropy Brain could only sort knowledge, not transform the soul.

It was the body-refining technique.

After over a thousand years of cultivation, his body-refining technique had reached an extremely terrifying level, and its ability for adaptive evolution had also become extremely strong.

Every time Jie Ming used an Entropy Brain before, the body-refining technique was secretly recording and trying to imitate it.

A few decades ago, he began to feel that the body-refining technique had "remembered" that feeling.

Since then, every time he used an Entropy Brain, the duration of the feeling of knowledge being sorted and filed became longer and longer.

Jie Ming knew very well that this meant his soul was evolving.

And as of today, Jie Ming's soul had finally undergone a key change, and a new trait was taking root and sprouting in his soul.

He could clearly feel that every moment, his soul was in a state similar to using an Entropy Brain.

Although it was not a complete effect and not as powerful as the Entropy Brain directly, it was almost never-ending in its sorting.

Those newly learned pieces of knowledge, those pieces of information that hadn't had time to be digested, would be automatically sorted and filed the moment they entered his mind.

And as long as he could keep gaining benefits in this state, as time passed, this ability would continue to evolve and become stronger and stronger.

One day, the automatic sorting ability of Jie Ming's soul would exceed the effect of using an Entropy Brain.

Opening his eyes, the corners of Jie Ming's mouth slightly raised.

He looked down at his empty palm and began to take stock of his family fortune.

He wouldn't need the Entropy Brain after this, and could completely trade it out for resources.

After using it for so many years, he still had some Entropy Brains left.

Big and small, of varying quality.

Jie Ming calculated slightly, and according to the current market price, all the Entropy Brains he had left could be worth about 25 billion high-tier military merits.

Adding the 5 billion remaining after paying off the 10 billion debt for the "Substitute Doll" before, he now had assets equivalent to about 30 billion high-tier military merits in his hands.

30 billion.

Jie Ming leaned against the door frame of the secret chamber, looking at the grey-red sky in the distance, and couldn't help but laugh.

This number even exceeded the cash flow held by many veteran level-seven wizards.

After all, level-seven wizards earn a lot, but they also spend a lot.

Research costs money, experiments cost money, maintaining one's own forces costs money, and cultivating subordinates costs money.

There are not many level-seven wizards who can save up 30 billion high-tier military merits.

And he was still just a level-five wizard.

Of course, his situation was special.

The plane was considered a free reward, the Black Giant Legion didn't need him to pay wages, the Incense Divine Dao supported itself, and even provided output in return.

If it were any wizard who was promoted normally, it would be impossible to save up so much family fortune at his level.

However, Jie Ming was not in a hurry to spend money.

Dao Integration was imminent, and there would be many places to spend money later.

Jie Ming's consciousness sank into the Great Dao Book Pavilion, and the ancient bookshelves were lined up in front of him.

His gaze swept over those familiar ancient books and finally landed at the end of the "True Body Scripture of Self-Existence."

There was a detailed list of elixirs there, which were the auxiliary materials needed to cultivate this technique from great success in Void Refinement to perfection.

Although the technique said these elixirs were not necessary, without these elixirs, the process of merging the true body and the Dharma Body would be extremely long and painful.

He looked down item by item, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.

"Heavenly Flower Clear Water... none. Ling Spirit Mist... none. Flowing Cloud Frost... none." Jie Ming sighed and closed the ancient book.

Things from the Cultivation World basically couldn't be found in the Wizarding World.

But he had long been used to it.

If you can't find the original version, find a substitute.

If you can't find a substitute, refine it yourself.

If you can't refine it yourself, use wizarding means to achieve the same effect.

Haven't he been living like this all these years?

Because of this reason, Jie Ming's current level of potionology was not even worse than alchemy.

"Let's take it one by one first..."

Jie Ming exited the Great Dao Book Pavilion and turned to walk toward the laboratory.

Inside the specially made heightened secret chamber, the air was filled with a strong scent of potions.

Jie Ming sat cross-legged on the stone platform in the center of the secret chamber, with dozens of empty crystal bottles scattered around.

These bottles originally contained the potions he had spent ten months concocting.

Each bottle had been carefully improved, fusing the wizarding world's medicinal property extraction technology with the cultivation world's elixir formula theory.

The last bottle of potion slid down his throat.

The warm liquid went down the esophagus, but exploded the moment it touched the stomach, turning into countless fine energy flows, spreading along the meridians to the limbs and bones.

Jie Ming closed his eyes and felt the direction of this power, looking inward with his divine sense, clearly "seeing" that his three treasures of essence, Qi, and spirit were undergoing some subtle changes.

Under the combined effect of all the potions, they seemed to be ignited by some invisible force.

While the three treasures were slowly burning, they also underwent an irreversible sublimation.

The three forces of essence, Qi, and spirit rose from the dantian, from the sea of consciousness, and from the limbs and bones, turning into three-colored flames, continuously pouring into the Dharma Body sitting deep in his consciousness.

The thousand-meter-tall dark golden Dharma Body automatically appeared behind Jie Ming.

The huge Dharma Body stood motionless, and the two faces on the front and back of the head both presented an unprecedented solemnity.

On the face with the delicate Taoist demeanor, the brows and eyes were slightly closed, as if feeling something; on the face that was rational and calm like a scholar, the golden vertical mark between the brows was slightly shining, as if calculating some extremely complex variable.

Operating the final transformation formula of the True Body Scripture of Self-Existence, although it was the first time experiencing such a change, Jie Ming appeared at ease, even arguably proficient.

The reason lay in the Light God Transformation technology that Jie Ming had developed back then.

Constructing the body with Li Huo Extinction Divine Light, informatizing and energizing the physical body, and finally casting reality with emptiness.

The combat form technology he had spent hundreds of years conquering had an underlying logic almost identical to the promotion process at this moment.

It's just that Light God Transformation was a temporary combat state, while at this moment, what he was doing was a permanent transformation.

"Fortunately, I was fully prepared."

A trace of smugness rose in Jie Ming's heart; this road was originally the foundation laid in advance for today's promotion.

The path of cultivation emphasizes opportunity.

But some opportunities are actually roads one paves for oneself.

The three-colored flames burned brighter and brighter, and the dark golden surface of the Dharma Body began to take on a molten luster.

Jie Ming could feel that the Dharma Body, which was originally between emptiness and reality, was undergoing an essential change.

It was transforming from a "condensed body of energy" into a "true flesh and blood body."

During this process, the original body began to become illusory instead.

Jie Ming looked down at his hands, his fingertips becoming transparent, as if being erased bit by bit from the level of existence by some force.

He was not panicked, and even had the spare capacity to feel this process.

This was like the step of virtualizing the physical body during Light God Transformation, only the direction was completely opposite.

Light God Transformation was virtualizing the entity and entering an energy state.

And promotion to Void Refinement perfection is casting reality with emptiness, letting the Dharma Body become the true body.

As the last wisp of the three-colored flame merged into the Dharma Body, Jie Ming felt a violent dizziness.

His consciousness seemed to be pulled out of his original body, or it was like experiencing some kind of perspective switch.

One moment he was looking at the secret chamber from the human perspective of "Jie Ming," and the next moment, he was already that thousand-meter-tall Dharma Body, looking down at the tiny figure below that was dissipating.

The original body turned into dots of starlight, dissipating in the secret chamber.

And the Dharma Body, at this moment, became the true body.

Jie Ming slowly opened his eyes, and his way of perception had undergone a fundamental change at this moment.

The first thing he felt was naturally the change in his line of sight, not just the difference in height, leading to changes in the comparison and cognition of the surrounding environment, and the two faces on the front and back were not just for show.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Jie Ming discovered that his field of vision was actually 360 degrees.

Not only did the fields of vision of the two faces widen to the left and right simultaneously, but the field of vision above his head could also be clearly seen, and the source of the upper field of vision was the "eyes" on the foreheads of the two faces that Jie Ming had previously thought were patterns.

This phenomenon, derived from the manifestation of the Fate System, became genuine eyes after turning into a true body.

Besides that, his five senses were magnified countless times, and his perception became more... essential.

What he "saw" was no longer an image formed by light reflection, but the trajectory of energy flow.

The walls of the secret chamber were no longer solid in his eyes, but a barrier woven from countless energy and matter particles; outside the barrier, the architectural complex of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane was like a huge energy vortex, with countless light spots converging within it.

What he "heard" was no longer sound formed by air vibration, but the vibration of various waves.

Those sounds were extremely faint, like the murmurs of some ancient language, yet contained some unspeakable rhythm.

What he "smelled" was no longer chemical molecules in the air, but the aura of various energy attributes.

The stone platform under his feet emitted the heavy aura of earth elements, and the air was filled with the lightness of wind elements, the restlessness of fire elements, the softness of water elements...

"Exaggerated, this is already close to the state of activating the Eye of Omnipotence!"

Jie Ming took a deep breath.

Most of the elemental energy in the secret chamber was sucked away by his inhalation, forming a short-lived energy vacuum.

He felt these energies circulating and digesting in his body, finally becoming a part of his own spiritual power.

This is Void Refinement perfection.

It is not just an improvement in power, but a leap in the level of existence.

He moved his fingers, and the dark golden knuckles drew fine spatial ripples in the air.

The thousand-meter-tall body appeared somewhat cramped in this specially made heightened secret chamber; this secret chamber was originally expanded specifically for his Dharma Body form, but at this moment he still felt the space was not spacious enough.
