Chapter 172

In the early stages of physical cultivation, with proper talent and sufficient heavenly treasures, one could still bring the body to such a level.

But to break through and become a Golden Immortal, the body must undergo a qualitative leap.

This blocked countless cultivators.

Achieving this breakthrough cannot be accomplished merely by accumulating resources.

Luo Fu managed to achieve this.

On one hand, he used the sword Dao inheritance obtained from Saint Tongtian as a foundation.

On the other hand, he accumulated Lei Jie energy to refine his flesh.

Finally, it was only through his max-level Wuxing ability that he forged such a body.

For an ordinary person, let alone Wuxing, just attempting to use Lei Jie to refine the body would be absurd.

Facing Lei Jie's attacks, most would instantly turn to ash.

Not to mention Luo Fu's max-level Wuxing.

This allowed Luo Fu to achieve nearly perfect control over both cultivation and breakthroughs.

In pure Wuxing, even Tongtian Jiaozhu himself admitted he felt somewhat inferior.

Remember, he was a Saint.

Originally, as one of the Three Pure Ones, few could match or surpass him in Wuxing.

After becoming a Tian Dao Saint, his Wuxing further improved to some degree.

Of course, Tongtian Jiaozhu knew that Wuxing, to some extent, was predetermined at birth and not easily altered.

After becoming a Saint, any improvement in Wuxing was already an extraordinary feat.

Saints primarily gained astonishing enhancements in computational power, thought speed, and similar areas.

Growth in Wuxing was rare.

If one were to compare it to certain modern phenomena:

After becoming Saints, the minds of the Three Pure Ones and others operated like a human becoming a computer—even more terrifying than a computer.

Under such conditions, the astonishing processing power of a Saint's mind is imaginable.

But Wuxing leans more toward sudden flashes of insight, like Einstein or Edison, creating something from nothing.

In some Xianxia Worlds, Wuxing leans more toward sudden enlightenment.

Luo Fu's max-level Wuxing granted him constant ability beyond sudden enlightenment; thus, Luo Fu's future growth would inevitably become increasingly terrifying.

With time's accumulation, Luo Fu could reach an unprecedented level.

This point, even Tongtian Jiaozhu, 恐怕 could not truly estimate.

Tongtian Jiaozhu did not know that the Wuxing Luo Fu currently displayed was not yet the true peak.

As time passed, Luo Fu's max-level Wuxing would grow even more terrifying.

From Golden Immortal to Taiyi Golden Immortal, max-level Wuxing would grow somewhat; upon breaking through to Da Luo Golden Immortal, it would grow again.

This was entirely beyond ordinary imagination.

Wuxing was something a lifeform was born with, predetermined.

Heavenly treasures might enhance a lifeform's various abilities, but treasures capable of boosting Wuxing were exceedingly rare.

Even if such treasures existed, they could only raise Wuxing by a minuscule amount.

Wuxing touched upon the mysterious, 玄之又玄 realm of the soul and true spirit.

Even Tongtian and other Tian Dao Saints had not reached this soul domain.

Who could imagine a lifeform whose Wuxing continuously improved alongside its strength?

This was utterly beyond reason.

Naturally, Luo Fu would not explain this to his teacher, Tongtian Jiaozhu.

After all, his prior performance had already astonished Tongtian Jiaozhu immensely; from this, Luo Fu deduced just how terrifying his max-level Wuxing truly was.

Thus, with the aid of this max-level Wuxing,

Luo Fu was able to create something from nothing, using Lei Jie to fuse his flesh with Dao power, forming a body at the Golden Immortal layer.

Later, he further combined the Dragon Source Blood derived from the Azure Dragon's essence with Dragon Clan great techniques, ultimately forging a body nearly matching the peak of Golden Immortal.

Only one step remained.

Luo Fu's body could ascend to the Taiyi Golden Immortal layer.

These matters aside for now.

Hearing Jin Ling's praise, the other Jie Sect disciples nearby also exclaimed in awe.

"Brother Luo Fu is this powerful? If I faced him, I'd likely be no match," Zhao Gongming exclaimed.

As the eldest disciple of the Jiejiaowai Sect, Zhao Gongming's strength was already at the Golden Immortal layer.

Among Jie Sect disciples, Zhao Gongming's strength might rank just below the former Four Direct Disciples like Daoist Duobao.

He was stronger than the Three Xiao.

Yunxiao and Qiongxiao among the Three Xiao had only recently become Golden Immortals.

But Zhao Gongming, as the outer sect's eldest disciple, had long since become a Golden Immortal in the past.

"Body as Dao," Jin Ling also marveled, "I recall Brother Luo Fu only recently became a Golden Immortal—how could he achieve this so quickly? Is Brother Luo Fu even human?"

Indeed.

At this moment, Jin Ling was even beginning to suspect Luo Fu was not human, but carried bloodline from another race.

If one were to ask which race could best achieve this,

It would be the Wu Clan, one of the dominant powers in the Primordial World.

Could it be that Luo Fu possesses Wu Clan bloodline?

"Jin Ling, what you suspect is probably the Witch Clan," Daoist Duobao said slowly. "But Luo Fu is not of the Witch Clan, nor any other race. The aura on Brother Luo Fu is pure—that is unmistakably human."

Throughout all the time he had spent with Luo Fu, Daoist Duobao had held his own understanding of what kind of being Luo Fu was.

The Witch Clan, for instance, inherently possesses malevolent qi—something immediately detectable.

Other races are much the same.

Like Jin Ling Shengmu and Gui Ling Shengmu, they are, in a sense, primordial deities, each carrying a distinct life aura.

Daoist Duobao himself was formed from a unique being.

His perception of auras was especially acute; very few beings could evade his detection.

Jin Ling, Wu Dang, and others were aware of this.

Therefore, Luo Fu's identity is unproblematic—he is human.

"Human?" Jin Ling Shengmu shook her head. "Now I understand why the Master took Brother Luo Fu in. Brother Luo Fu is truly formidable—in just a few years, he has forged his physical body to this realm."

"This is Brother Luo Fu's true strength," Wu Dang Shengmu said. "I恐怕 I am no match for him."

Wu Dang clearly could not deliver a single punch to obliterate Blasting Guang Chengzi.

"No…" Daoist Duobao drew a deep breath. "Perhaps this is still not Brother Luo Fu's true power."
