Chapter 1182: Cultivators of Ten Thousand Realms Enter the Mausoleum Together, Bronze Bell Battle Body Has Thunderous Sound
The Black Emperor's sacrificial altar is incomparably grand, with a total of nine levels, presenting a pyramid shape that is wide at the bottom and narrow at the top.
Each level is like a step, rising level by level.
The three levels at the very bottom are stone steps crafted from white jade.
The three middle levels are like a heavenly palace, a triple-layered accumulation of palace halls.
The three levels at the very top are triple-layered pavilions built upon the palace halls.
The three bottom steps of the Black Emperor's altar require climbing up along stairs as wide as imperial steps; just the first step is three thousand zhang high, and on both sides of the steps are displayed towering and majestic stone statues.
It is very eye-catching.
Chao Zhenzi could not help but step forward to study them.
He touched the blue-grey body of a stone statue; the rough surface carried an ancient, deep, and heavy aura.
"The sacrificial stone men of the Immortal Qin are indeed authentic; the stone men imitated in other eras are far inferior in materials, lacking that sense of being 'primordial and unbreakable' at all."
"True sacrificial stone men are difficult to break even with spirit treasures, which is why the stone men unearthed from Immortal Qin ruins are relatively complete, while stone men from other eras often have broken hands and feet."
"If they cannot even protect themselves, how can they protect the ruins?"
Cultivators from the Earth Immortal Realm saw him carelessly go up to touch those stone men, and all of them held their breath.
They walked in the center of the steps, neither leaning left nor right, staying far away from the stone men on both sides.
They even involuntarily turned their bodies sideways, their footsteps stiff as they faced the stone men head-on.
At this moment, a cultivator from the Ten Thousand Realms beside them grinned and said disdainfully: "They are just some stone men, I don't know what you are afraid of... Earth Immortal Realm? If it's the Immortal Realm, just call it the Immortal Realm; why make up some 'Earth Immortal Realm'? I thought that in the Immortal Realm, at least there would be Nascent Soul True Immortals!"
"Can't these people see where they are stronger than us? How could their world be called the Earth Immortal Realm?"
A cultivator from the Zhuanzhou Great World beside them shook his fan and laughed: "So it's a brute from the Ten Thousand Copper Great World; has your body refinement refined your brain into muscles?"
"They are called the Earth Immortal Realm because they were once glorious!"
"Don't you know that the ruins we have come to explore this time are the imperial mausoleum of an Immortal Dynasty in the Earth Immortal Realm called Immortal Qin?"
"Just looking at the layout in this mausoleum, one knows how glorious the Earth Immortal Realm once was; at its peak, Nascent Soul True Immortals were as numerous as crucian carp crossing a river, countless."
"Unfortunately, after the Immortal Qin was defeated in battle, it offended the true Immortal Realm."
"Now it is not much stronger than our great worlds; Nascent Soul True Immortals have also become the pinnacle, no longer worthy of the name among the heavens!"
Another team of cultivators with a gloomy temperament had just descended from the White Bone Ruins ship; the leader was a disheveled-haired man wearing a black robe, his complexion slightly pale, and the cultivators beside him were each strange in shape, with deep demonic qi.
He also looked toward the group from the Earth Immortal Realm.
A bald, faceless person beside him had his face undulating and squirming, vibrating his abdominal cavity to make a sound: "It is the cultivators of the Earth Immortal Realm! This realm is the source of our demonic path; it has always been beneath the heavens, so we must never underestimate it!"
The black-robed, disheveled-haired cultivator raised his hand, and the group stopped instantly.
"They understand the Qin Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum better; being so afraid of these stone men, I fear there really is a problem. The reason those cultivators from the great worlds spoke out to provoke them is likely also to test something from it?"
The faceless person beside him bowed and said: "Young Demon Lord, then what about us?"
The one called Young Demon Lord said in a low voice: "We already suffered a loss just now! If I hadn't decisively blood-sacrificed those slaves to the previous seals, we might not have been able to break through; the people of the Earth Immortal Realm were able to break six layers of seals in a row, so their strength must be the strongest among us."
"Now that the Nascent Soul Sovereigns are checking and balancing each other, allowing us to break into the sacrificial altar first, even Nascent Soul Heavenly Demons must be careful here; we are just like ants. As ants, we must have the self-awareness of ants."
"Whatever they do, we will do!"
After speaking, the group of demon lords also turned their bodies sideways, lined up in a row, and cautiously kept their distance from the stone man.
The cultivators of the Earth Immortal Realm looked at the stone men lined up on both sides, extending upward along the jade steps that seemed to have no end, and their hearts were also heavy.
The stone man transformed from the Heavenly General struck down by Xu Fu earlier was only about a zhang in size, but the stone men lined up on both sides of the steps here were each a hundred zhang high.
If measured by size, these stone men were likely far more formidable than that Heavenly General.
If any one of these stone men were to awaken, I fear that with a wave of its hand, it could easily annihilate everyone here...
At this moment, a dull sound of copper and iron colliding came from the side.
I saw that the cultivator from the Ten Thousand Copper Great World had arms as knotted as ancient bronze pythons, and metallic clanging sounds burst forth where his muscles bulged.
His ten fingers were like hooks, firmly digging into the rough surface of the stone man, and as the Sanskrit mantras embroidered on his body burned into a crimson gold color with his exertion, the surging power vibrated through his body like a heavy hammer, emitting sounds like a bell!
Just listening to that deep and heavy bell sound, one knew that this person had refined both inside and outside into one, consistent from surface to interior.
In terms of body refinement, he had reached an extremely high realm!
When his spine arched like a full moon, the thunderous low roar in his throat stirred up air waves, and the bell sound echoing in his body became increasingly high-pitched.
By the time the eighteenth bell sound rang, the rolling bell sound manifested by his strength echoed in his body as if it were substantial, stacking up to a terrifying degree.
Accompanied by a sharp shout, that hundred-zhang-high stone man actually trembled!
"Bronze Bell Battle Body!"
The cultivator from the Zhuanzhou Great World gave a light exclamation, staring fixedly at the knotted muscles exposed by the bronze-man cultivator.
"The Ten Thousand Copper Great World is rich in all kinds of mineral resources; in the past, it was also an extremely prosperous mineral-producing world among the ten thousand realms!"
"Although it has the name of a great world, because it was too wealthy, it was broken and colonized by dozens of great worlds nearby long ago; many great worlds opened sects there to plunder its mineral deposits."
"It was the Vajra Sect of the Buddhist Gilded Great World that, because it needed the purple copper there to refine Dasheng Dasheng Leiyin Pills, passed down the Buddhist body-refinement method in the Ten Thousand Copper Great World."
"And because the local indigenous cultivators were all slaughtered, the local mortals could only join the Buddhist sect that opened its doors wide."
"Later, those sects saw that body cultivators were rough-skinned and thick-fleshed, sturdy and durable, so they taught the indigenous body-refinement methods in large numbers to cultivate miners; as the mineral veins of the Ten Thousand Copper Great World gradually dried up and the miners constantly resisted, many great worlds gradually abandoned that place, leaving the remaining miners to dominate the Ten Thousand Copper Great World again, creating the spectacle of the entire world refining the body!"
"This Bronze Bell Dharma Body is the Foundation Establishment kung fu of the Buddhist Dasheng Dasheng Leiyin Golden Body, emphasizing a body like a bronze bell and strength like thunder sound, refining the body into a bronze bell to hammer the strength like a bell sound."
"This person's bell sound is deep, heavy, and transparent; clearly, he has refined both inside and outside into one, reaching the Buddhist Vajra realm."
"What is even rarer is that he has cultivated the Bronze Bell Battle Body to eighteen sounds, each sound like a divine thunder exploding in the body, and his body is still able to withstand it; such a battle body, I fear, is difficult for an ordinary First Rank Jin Dan to shake; it is a clumsy skill cultivated to an extremely high realm!"
"Such a person is absolutely not brainless!"
A flash of strange color crossed the eyes of the cultivator from the Zhuanzhou Great World, and he observed the cultivator from the Ten Thousand Copper Great World more covertly and carefully.
A flash of appreciation also crossed the eyes of the disheveled-haired demon cultivator, who praised: "What a majestic seedling of a Manifested Divine Demon; such a body cultivator, if refined into a Great Strength Divine Demon, I don't know how..."
"Forget it! This person's bell rang eighteen times; once the bell rings, the strength and blood of the whole body condense into one, blood and qi embracing the pill, which is equivalent to the Hunyuan realm of a body cultivator equivalent to a Jin Dan."
"Even though body cultivators are notoriously clumsy and heavy, and Hunyuan is pressed and beaten by Core Formation, eighteen bell sounds also mean he is only one step away from being a ruthless person comparable to a Yin Spirit!"
"This kind of clumsy skill, cultivated to such a pure realm, is the most difficult to deal with; every gesture carries eighteen thunder sounds, and every punch and kick is equivalent to unleashing eighteen kinds of divine thunder; except for me, none of you can defeat him."
"Even when using magic treasures and divine demons, they will be torn apart by him..."
The Bronze Bell Battle Body, fully unleashed, shocked quite a few people, and even in the Earth Immortal Realm, some people cast side glances.
Lan Jiu said: "Body-refining cultivator? It is rare to see such clumsy skills in the Earth Immortal Realm; even if cultivators in this realm cultivate martial arts, it is for conquest and warfare, which is a unique skill among the four arts of the military strategist."
"Such a pure body-refinement technique is indeed rare! To refine the body to such a realm, this person is quite good!"
Cui Dan smiled bitterly: "It is still because the Great Dao of the military strategist left behind by the Immortal Qin is too cruel; such body cultivators don't know how long it takes to cultivate to this realm, but if they fail to condense blood and qi strength and transform it into thunder sound, they will be shot dead by an arrow on the battlefield. No body is as good as armor and a precious horse, able to carry and run."
"Those who can't carry and can't run really can't live too long!"
Everyone thought of the perverted military equipment and the way of killing of the military strategist in the Earth Immortal Realm, and could only remain silent.
That was a killing tool that made Dharma cultivators and Sword cultivators have a headache; body cultivator? After half a lifetime of hard work, just like this cultivator from the Ten Thousand Copper World, before becoming a thunder sound, any small soldier in the Earth Immortal Realm could shoot him dead with an arrow!
Half a lifetime of body refinement is not as good as a talisman on a talisman armor; such a martial art with no cost-effectiveness naturally could not spread in the Earth Immortal Realm.
Hua Daier looked at that person with interest and whispered: "When Master took me to visit the Jiazi Sea Market back then, I once found a bottle of Buddhist Dasheng Dasheng Leiyin Pills, which are Golden Stone Great Pills cast from purple copper mixed with many metals and irons, with a thunder sound sealed inside; after taking it, it rolls in the viscera, releasing thunder sound to hammer the viscera; it is a very rare elixir."
"Looking at it, this person seems to be following this path too!"
Chao Zhenzi walked over and smiled: "This is the lineage of the Buddhist Dasheng Dasheng Leiyin Golden Body, which uses the drumming and polishing of the Bronze Bell Battle Body to vibrate the blood and qi strength in the body, finally emitting a bell sound, refining all strength and blood into thunder sound."
"Originally, according to the path of the Buddhist Dasheng Dasheng Leiyin Golden Body, after he condenses nine thunder sounds, every bell sound should be like thunder sound, breaking away troubles and shaking the Dharma Sea!"
"Turning from outside to inside, adding the great firmness of the Vajra-indestructible physical body to the heart."
"From this, the thunder sound shakes the Lingshan, cultivating the Dharma Sea Dasheng Dasheng Leiyin, and condensing into a sarira on the Lingshan!"
"But clearly, he has no follow-up inheritance; blindly refining the body and lacking the Buddhist method of cultivating the heart is also walking with a lame leg, taking a wrong path."
"His kung fu body is extremely pure; if he uses other body-refinement methods to break through, mixing the Dao foundation, it would be a pity... However, he really has some insight, seeing the fit between the sacrificial stone man and his Bronze Bell Battle Body; I think he is prepared to comprehend the method of breakthrough from the sacrificial stone man."
Hua Daier suddenly realized: "So, his so-called provocation was all for others to see! It was just to make contact with that sacrificial stone man in a justified way?"
"More than just contact, he also wants to take one away!"
Chao Zhenzi smiled.
Everyone looked at each other; this is not something that can be taken! If this person really moves a stone man away, when the Qin Qin Shi Huang is resurrected, the Ten Thousand Copper Great World will be in big trouble!
Trying his best, he only slightly shook the stone man; Fang Tong's face was bitter.
"If I strike with all my strength, even a small mountain with seals laid down could be pulled out! This stone man clearly has no roots under its feet, yet just by its weight, it makes me unable to shake it."
"Having finally discovered a clue that can break through the realm, do I have to sit here and comprehend it bitterly?"
"With the comprehension of us body cultivators, I fear it will take a hundred or eighty years to comprehend!"
At the very beginning of seeing the sacrificial stone man, Fang Tong discovered that it carried a trace of mysterious charm that he only possessed after condensing eighteen thunder sounds.
This charm was very dense on those stone men.
If it is said that his body carried a little bit of that taste, like a lamp on a distant mountain in the dark.
Then the charm on that stone man was like the scorching sun...
Only he could perceive that mysterious charm.
Originally, he planned to find a way to move a stone man away in a justified way; if he could open up a true Great Dao for body cultivators and lay the foundation for the future, it would be more important than any magic treasure or spirit object.
Who would have thought that just at the first hurdle, how to move the stone man would stump himself...
Jiang Shang, who was most curious about the Dan Dao, had already finished listening to Hua Daier's account of the wonderful use of the Dasheng Dasheng Leiyin Pill, and could not help but praise: "What a wonderful ingenuity, the combination of Dan, Tool, and Dharma into one; it is a Divine Ability Pill, a physical medicine, and a magic treasure embryo; this kind of Buddhist Tool Pill is indeed wonderful to the extreme!"
He lowered his head and pondered for a moment before sighing: "This Bronze Bell Battle Body is indeed of the same lineage as the Dasheng Dasheng Leiyin Pill."
"It is also the Dao of combining Dan, Tool, and Dharma into one!"
"The so-called Dan is blood and qi embracing the pill."
"Martial Dao has blood and qi embracing the pill, but compared to our Jin Dan, it is just a fake pill, not even as good as a lower-rank Jin Dan; it can only manipulate blood and qi, and the physical body erupts; in the military strategist's martial dao, it also belongs to the lower class."
"And it has contradictions with the military strategist's condensing of malevolent qi and the Daoist's qi refining."
"Because blood and qi condensing into a pill is most important for purity and oneness; if blood and qi are mixed with other primordial qi, it will be impure, and it will be difficult to embrace the pill as one!"
Hearing this, Zheng Yin could not help but sneer: "Then what is the use of this? Without primordial qi to temper the body, and without condensing the qi of malevolent and gang, do you really think your body, tempered a thousand times, can rival the power of heaven and earth?"
"It is purely a waste realm!"
He seemed to be speaking loudly on purpose.
Fang Tong's ears over there moved, but his face did not show a trace of ripples; he just blindly drummed the subtle thunder sound in his body, transmitting it into the stone statue, wanting to comprehend the charm that could allow him to break through. ===== CHAPTER 1183 =====
