If he wished, he could grow a hundred more legs, a hundred thousand hearts, eight thousand brains.

These are all marvels of the body, freely manifested and transformed by the Immortal Body realm.

Yet despite such myriad marvels, he had not comprehended the Space Law and broken through to the Third Stage of Immortality: the Cave Heaven realm.

What Fang Yu must do now is comprehend the Space Law and break through the realm.

However, comprehending the Space Law and breaking through to the Third Stage of Immortality—the Cave Heaven realm—is an incredibly difficult feat for any Immortal Body cultivator.

The vast majority of Immortal Body cultivators reach the end of their lives at this realm; though they possess fifty thousand or even one hundred thousand years of lifespan, when that lifespan expires, the Immortal Body cultivator still grows old and dies.

There are no shortage of Immortal Body cultivators who have died of old age in heaven and earth.

"Immortal Body"—this "immortality" means it is hard to kill, because their bodies merge with the laws of heaven and earth, dispersing and condensing at will; as long as one micro-particle survives, they can be reborn. But when lifespan runs out, even the Immortal Body must die.

At this moment, Fang Yu recalled that this ancient Holy Body had forged a small Cave Heaven, a miniature world, two hundred li in diameter—clearly having comprehended the Space Law, thus enabling its creation. So he decided to walk the path this ancient Holy Body had already trodden, observe, and comprehend.

With a thought, Fang Yu's body changed, acquiring the many transformations of the ancient Holy Body.

If others knew this, they would find it inconceivable, for one's physical constitution is forged by heaven, innate and unchangeable—no one can alter their own constitution.

But Fang Yu could completely alter his constitution—he could become the Five Elements Holy Body, the Lei Ling Divine Body, the Devouring Body, or the Chaos Body.

Yet all these constitutions merely increased his combat power without granting him comprehension of the Space Law, so this time Fang Yu became the ancient Holy Body.

Another ancient Holy Body!

Three ancient Holy Bodies now met here.

In an instant, whether Fang Yu, Ye Fan, or the ancient Holy Body's remains ahead, all felt a mysterious, intangible resonance.

Ye Fan especially felt the resonance emanating from Fang Yu's body, so astonished he nearly leapt out of his skin.

"Brother Fang, you…"

Ye Fan sensed the intangible spiritual pull and a wild thought arose in his heart: Could this Brother Fang before him also be an ancient Holy Body?

Only another ancient Holy Body could produce such a spiritual resonance upon meeting.

But is Brother Fang also an ancient Holy Body?

In the past, he had never felt such a resonance.

"For now, I too am an ancient Holy Body."

Fang Yu smiled; within his body, countless mysteries shifted, continuously adjusting his flesh and bone structure, drawing ever closer to the ancient Holy Body. With a little cultivation, a blue lotus appeared in his Wheel Sea.

This was the ancient Holy Body's manifestation: Chaos Sows the Blue Lotus.

The ancient Holy Body has many manifestations; fundamentally, each manifestation is a divine art.

Fang Yu's ancient Holy Body is postnatal, artificially formed—he naturally could not carry the innate manifestations of the original ancient Holy Body. But with his current strength, manifesting a Chaos Sows the Blue Lotus is no problem.

This is postnatal transformation into the ancient Holy Body.

Using postnatal divine arts to evolve primordial manifestations.

Divine art is manifestation; manifestation is divine art. Constitutions can be cultivated—this is Fang Yu's great divine miracle.

Chaos Sows the Blue Lotus: a three-leaf blue lotus rose from Fang Yu's body and entered the ancient Holy Body's remains. Instantly, the withered Wheel Sea within the remains grew increasingly vibrant, as if about to revive.

Finally, waves appeared in his Wheel Sea; golden surges began to rise and fall.

"What happened? That corpse has been cold for countless years—how could such a transformation occur?"

"How is this possible? Ye Xiao-di being an ancient Holy Body is one thing—but is Brother Fang also an ancient Holy Body? How can he cause such changes in an ancient Holy Body?"

"What on earth is going on? This is utterly unbelievable."

At this moment, several people nearby were also astonished, for they saw the withered flesh seated within the treasure emit countless rays of light.

This Holy Body's remains was like a divine being, radiating dreamlike brilliance, its entire body glowing fiercely, as if about to be reborn.

"Brother Fang, Ye Xiao-di, are you alright?"

Yan Yan Ruyu summoned a lotus in her hand, releasing an ultimate-level aura.

"If anything goes wrong, you must return immediately."

Tu Fei also spoke up quickly.

"With Brother Fang's strength, nothing should happen—but that is an ancient Holy Body…"

Pang Bo was not overly worried, but he couldn't be sure.

"No need to worry—I'm fine."

Fang Yu spoke, channeling divine power into the ancient Holy Body's remains. Instantly, the golden sea within its Wheel Sea grew brighter, waves crashing violently.

Broken bells and shattered battle spears appeared—these were the ancient Holy Body's weapons, destroyed within its Wheel Sea.

Boom—boom—boom.

Within the Holy Body's remains' Wheel Sea, threads of lightning interwove; the golden sea grew even more brilliant.

As more divine power poured in, the divine energy within the remains' Wheel Sea began to circulate along a mysterious path.

This withered flesh was indestructible, preserved to this day, its essence and qi flowing without obstruction, radiating the aura of the Dao.

A secret cultivation technique appeared before Fang Yu and Ye Fan.

Both captured its Daoic resonance, grasping its circulation route.

Essence and qi coiled like dragons, winding along—a profound secret art, its path mysterious, like a dragon traversing the ocean, riding the wind and breaking waves.

It was a cultivation method focused on a single Secret Realm.

The human body contains five Secret Realms: Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, Dragon Transformation, Immortal Platform.

In ancient times, some cultivators devoted their entire lives to cultivating only one Secret Realm, never stepping into the others.

Legend says that ancient masters who cultivated only one Secret Realm underwent nine lives and nine deaths, finally breaking free from their cocoon, reborn into perfect completeness—upon emerging, they stirred clouds in all directions, with manifestations surging to the heavens.

Of course, this was the result of countless years of effort, sometimes consuming an entire lifetime.

Cultivating a single Secret Realm is extremely difficult, requiring not only powerful heart methods but also ancient secret techniques for assistance.

Now, Fang Yu had sensed this single Secret Realm cultivation technique within the ancient Holy Body's Wheel Sea—a rare opportunity.

Fang Yu could sense that this Desolate Ancient Sacred Body had walked extremely far upon the Wheel Sea Secret Realm, so far that one could say it had reached the absolute limit within that single secret realm — by cultivating only the Wheel Sea Secret Realm, its strength had already reached the level of the ancient sages.

Yet it had also cultivated upon the Dao Palace Secret Realm. Of the five great Dao Palaces of the human body, it had cultivated four — one could say it had reached the Fourth Heaven of the Dao Palace.

Placed in the present era, the Fourth Heaven of the Dao Palace was merely the level of some outstanding disciples of the holy lands; even Ye Fan had already stepped into the Fourth Heaven of the Dao Palace. But this Desolate Ancient Sacred Body primarily cultivated the Wheel Sea Secret Realm — even if it had only stepped into the First Heaven of the Dao Palace, it would still possess the strength of a sage.

It sounds somewhat inconceivable.

Yet it truly exists.

By cultivating only the Wheel Sea Secret Realm, one could directly reach the level of the ancient sages — this bore a certain curious similarity to the Immortals such as Fang Yu.

The Immortals primarily cultivated the brain, one could also say they primarily cultivated the Immortal Platform Secret Realm. Although it was not purely the cultivation of a single Immortal Platform Secret Realm, by cultivating the brain to an extremely high realm, their strength was exceedingly formidable — sufficient to rival the ancient sages, and could even reach the realm of the Great Emperor, and beyond the Great Emperor.

Of course, the Immortals would not only cultivate the brain. If they obtained the Great Five Elements Art to cultivate the five viscera — which in this world was the Dao Palace Secret Realm — they could also greatly enhance their cultivation base and vastly increase their lifespan.

And if an Immortal obtained the Great Sealing God Art among the Three Thousand Great Daos, they could additionally cultivate the six bowels — something that did not exist in the Shrouding Heaven Realm.

The Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, Four Extremities, Transformation Dragon, and Immortal Platform — the five great secret realms — while the six bowels lay beyond these five great secret realms.

Therefore, in truth, the Shrouding Heaven Method could possess six great secret realms.

This was the conclusion Fang Yu reached after comparing the Immortal Method with the Shrouding Heaven Method.

At this moment, Fang Yu, sensing the secret art of single Wheel Sea Secret Realm cultivation transmitted from this Desolate Ancient Sacred Body, decided to try cultivating it over the coming days.

Not far away, Ye Fan had also obtained an enormous fortuitous encounter — his mind had likewise received the cultivation secret art of the Wheel Sea Scroll, and his heart rejoiced.

Cultivating the Desolate Ancient Sacred Body truly consumed far too many resources. He had only with great difficulty cultivated to the Fourth Heaven of the Dao Palace; if he still had to cultivate to the Fifth Heaven of the Dao Palace, or to the Four Extremities Secret Realm, it would truly be far too difficult. Yet today, being able to obtain a cultivation method for a single secret realm was also a path.

This was an enormous fortuitous encounter.

The three Desolate Ancient Sacred Bodies cultivated here, and at the very end, the remains of that Desolate Ancient Sacred Body actually stood up — a divine bell atop its head, a green-gold battle halberd in its hand — as if it had been resurrected.

"Holy crap!"

"What?"
