Chapter 2152: Innate Dao Body Eighth Stage

Not long after, Xun Shuang Xianzi came.

She was like the bright moon in the night sky; as soon as she arrived here, the dim Blood River Cave seemed to brighten.

"Xiao Feng, why did you summon me here?" the Fairy Maiden asked.

She walked over gracefully, appearing quite composed.

Actually, her heart was secretly panicking; hopefully it's not something improper…

Xiao Feng replied: "Lately I've been troubled by strong enemies, feeling my methods insufficient. Earlier I researched a secret technique from your Innate Dao Body; now I want to see if it can be strengthened further, needing to borrow your currently more perfect Dao Body for study. So…"

"Innate Dao Body…"

Xun Shuang's breath hitched.

That previous "mistake" happened because observing the Innate Dao Body caused mutual copying.

Now that Xiao Feng made this request again, she almost wanted to turn and leave without hesitation.

But seeing Xiao Feng's calm expression and sincere demeanor, it didn't seem like he was trying to trick her.

"You…"

She wanted to speak but stopped.

Xiao Feng said: "Rest assured, I have no other thoughts! If I harbor any ulterior motives toward you, may the Supreme God punish me and erase my title!"

Seeing his solemn promise, Xun Shuang relaxed, nodded, walked over and sat before him.

Xiao Feng saw this, gave a wry smile, and said helplessly: "Getting you to trust me is hard…"

Xun Shuang remained silent.

"My fault."

Xiao Feng sighed, didn't waste words, immediately released his Divine Sense, entered her body, and studied the changes in the Innate Dao Body's markings after advancing to the Eighth Stage.

Xiao Feng feared she'd be displeased, so he remained courteous throughout, silently using his Divine Sense to inspect, examining minutely.

Intimacy.

Xiao Feng feared she'd be displeased, so he remained courteous throughout, silently using his Divine Sense to inspect, examining minutely.

Each stage of the Innate Dao Body's growth adds more complex runes to the gene chain deep within cells.

In the game, mentioning genes sounds absurd, but the setting indeed exists—normal players just can't access it.

Xiao Feng examined everything bit by bit, gradually understood, and committed it to memory.

He discovered that after Xun Shuang's breakthrough, not only did her Li Ti become stronger, but her blood also underwent significant change.

After becoming a Primordial God and Golden Immortal Realm powerhouse, each drop of her blood contains immense vitality, like a divine elixir; an ordinary person with a serious illness need only one drop to be healed, and could even live for hundreds of years.

Even God-level and Supreme God-level powerhouses, obtaining her precious blood, can refine it into divine medicine; taking it brings great benefit.

"The Innate Dao Body is truly marvelous—the later stages grow ever stronger. This precious body and precious blood are now so valuable; if one enters the Venerable Realm, wouldn't it be even more mysterious than the primordial beings?" Xiao Feng secretly marveled.

He felt that if Xun Shuang broke through again, the preciousness of her Li Ti would far surpass the primordial beings, making her body the most unique in the Myriad Heavens World, even surpassing the Kunpeng!

However, the Innate Dao Body being so strong makes advancement even more difficult; it's unknown how long it will take her to take that step.

Moreover, the Venerable Realm is not the endpoint.

She is hoped to become a Dao Ancestor!

Last time observing the Innate Dao Body took many days; this time Xiao Feng is well-versed, recording a few more runes on the existing basis, which is not so

complicated.

About a day later, he completed the "transcription" of the Eighth Stage Innate Dao Body.

"All right, thank you." He withdrew his Divine Sense.

Xun Shuang stayed still all day, not cultivating, just letting him study quietly.

Hearing him speak, Xun Shuang shook her head, indicating no need for courtesy, then rose to leave.

"Wait, want to see how I use the Innate Dao Body to create a secret technique?" Xiao Feng hoped she'd stay a bit longer, casually finding an excuse.

Xun Shuang paused her step, hesitated a moment, then returned to her original seat and sat down.

The two exchanged a glance; each seemed to have something to say, but neither found it convenient to speak.

"Let me first try to forcibly enhance my own physique."

Xiao Feng closed his eyes, inwardly inspected with his Divine Sense, and began to reshape his physique.

His Innate Dao Body was still at the Seventh Stage; his level insufficient. Although the breakthrough condition "solo slay a Venerable" had long been met, he temporarily couldn't meet the requirements for advancing to the next stage.

Speaking of which, his and Xun Shuang's breakthrough conditions seem completely different—Xun Shuang had never slain a Venerable, yet her breakthrough went smoothly.

Evidently, Xiao Feng's pirated Innate Dao Body is still rather troublesome.

He focused his mind, simultaneously beginning to engrave the additional Eighth Stage runes' changes from his limbs outward.

Xun Shuang was merely sitting quietly.

After a while, she too grew curious, so she used her Divine Sense to probe his body and observe his self-transformation.

Xiao Feng sensed her Divine Sense arriving and did not stop it.

In this regard, they had mutual understanding; since all bodily secrets had already been exposed, they didn't mind another look, so their Divine Senses felt almost instinctively friendly, with no resistance.

Spent

Three hours passed before Xiao Feng engraved the newly added symbols deep into his body.

I had thought the Eighth Stage Innate Dao Body could be obtained just like that.

As the final rune completed, his body suddenly puffed, bursting open numerous tiny wounds.

Blood threads shot from the wounds, forming a fine mist of blood around his body.

Looking inside, the runes had already dissipated, returning to their original state.

【You have entered a weakened state; all attributes reduced by 50%, lasting 600 seconds.】

The system popped up a notification.

"Failed……"

Xiao Feng was helpless.

Trying to take shortcuts won't work; the bottleneck can only be broken through by oneself—copying homework not only brings no benefit, but also invites punishment.

Xun Shuang advised, "Take your time cultivating; these changes don't happen overnight—I myself accumulated two thousand years before breaking from True Immortal to Golden Immortal."

Xiao Feng replied, "Yeah, I was just trying it out casually."

He immediately began the proper procedure—skill combination!

At this moment, the Lord of the Stars had actually already appeared, wreaking havoc outside, with three incarnations unleashing thunderous wrath on three cities, causing destruction.

After about half a month of the world boss's baptism, the player lords of the alliance region had become somewhat numb; they dodged if it hit them, otherwise ignored it, and basically no one bothered to attack the world boss anymore.

After all, that little participation reward…… is worse than killing a high-ranking deity!

In the depths of the Blood River Cave, Xiao Feng also didn't rush to leave, quietly using the new version of the Innate Dao Body markings to forge a new heart-sword.

Due to the changes in the markings, he wasn't very proficient yet, so condensing the first sword form took a full

a minute of his time.

By the time the purple longsword condensed into form, the interior of the Blood River Cave was already raging with violent winds and surging energy.

"The previous heart-sword only needed to consume 1 billion divine elemental power, but now the consumption…… is more than a thousand times greater than before."

Xiao Feng secretly marveled in his heart.

This time, condensing the heart-sword actually consumed nearly 2.4 trillion divine elemental power.

What does that mean?

The same level-8 Secret Art, Withering Glory, consumes only 200 million divine elemental power when used—a difference of over ten thousand times!

"This sword has become substantive; at the very least it's a top-tier Golden Immortal spiritual treasure." Xun Shuang looked at the purple sword in his hand, unable to hide her astonishment.

A top-tier Golden Immortal spiritual treasure corresponds to equipment of perfect primordial god artifact quality.

Xiao Feng examined the sword closely; it had no attributes, nor was it an equipment or item.

But he casually swung it…
