Chapter 706: Nine Forms Complete, Mysterious Vine Transformation, Great Sun Divine Ape (Combined Chapter)

Outside the grotto-heaven, Li Yuan stood with his hands at his sides. Before long, Tong Tong Heihu and Qian Wangsun arrived first; the three exchanged a few pleasantries, and Wei Wang Xuanying and Qi Yun also arrived.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Junior Brother."

Qi Yun strode over. Seeing Li Yuan in a robe of plain color, tall and straight, shoulders as if carved, waist like a bound sash, clouds and rosy mists wreathing his body, precious light restrained within, he could not help but secretly praise him in his heart.

Ordinary folk see the body; cultivators observe the Dao.

The change in his outward bearing precisely showed that Li Yuan's cultivation had advanced tremendously over the past year or more — he feared Li Yuan had already condensed the Metal nature.

"Not at all."

Li Yuan smiled and invited everyone inside.

It had only been a little over nine years since he entered the sect, and Li Yuan had not put much effort into managing it. His grotto-heaven had not changed much — apart from over a thousand mu of spirit fields, there were not even any spirit beasts.

"Junior Brother's grotto-heaven truly has the air of natural grandeur."

Qian Wangsun offered a word of praise.

"Natural and unadorned, you mean?"

Li Yuan gave a wry laugh and led the four senior brothers into the bamboo tower. Li Yi had, of course, long since prepared the spirit feast.

"Junior Brother has spared no small expense."

Seeing a table of fifth-realm spirit fare, though Qi Yun was not one to indulge the desires of mouth and belly, he still felt Li Yuan's regard.

"Senior Brothers are visiting for the first time. If things were too shabby, it would not be the way to host guests."

Li Yuan skillfully brewed a pot of tea and poured for the four: "This tea is called 'Wu Fa Tea.' It was a gift from Senior Sister Yu Yu Fa Huan Zhen. Senior Brothers, please try it."

"Wu Fa Tea?"

Qi Yun had clearly heard of this tea. He had already raised his teacup, but now set it back down:

"Junior Brother is precisely at the stage of refining the Fa. This tea is of great use to you. For us to drink it would truly be a waste."

Qian Wangsun and the others were also somewhat surprised.

"When Senior Brother treated me with spirit fare back then, you never called it a waste."

Li Yuan raised his teacup: "I won't hide it from you, Senior Brothers. Junior Brother also has 'Dao-Comprehension Tea' bestowed by Master, but what Master bestows is not something to be drunk at a small gathering."

"Even if you Senior Brothers wished to drink it, you'd have to wait until Junior Brother has refined the Longhu Longhu Dadan!"

"Dao-Comprehension Tea!"

Hearing the name of this tea, Qi Yun and the others were all shaken in their hearts, silently clicking their tongues.

How could they not know the name of Dao-Comprehension Tea?

It was an immortal tea that only an inner disciple could be bestowed a single cup of, upon their first formal audience with Master!

'Master truly dotes on Junior Brother Li…'

'So this is the treatment of a robe-and-bowl disciple?'

'How generous of Junior Brother Li!'

Qian Wangsun and the others exchanged glances, each seeing the shift in the others' eyes.

"Good!"

At these words, Qi Yun raised his teacup: "Then let me offer an early toast — may Junior Brother forge a first-grade Longhu Longhu Dadan. I imagine that day is not far off!"

"Dao-Comprehension Tea! When Junior Brother forges the Longhu Longhu Dadan, you must invite me!"

Tong Tong Heihu and the others also raised their cups in turn.

Wu Fa Tea was of tremendous benefit to cultivators of the Er San Jing realm; even a second cup within a hundred years still carried considerable effect. But Qi Yun and the others were of far too high a realm — it only gave them a momentary daze.

"Truly fine tea!"

Tong Tong Heihu praised: "This one cup of tea is worth three months of hard cultivation for this one."

"What a waste!"

Wei Wang Xuanying glanced at him, disgusted at his vulgar appreciation of a delicate thing, and himself savored the flavor with care.

"Fine tea."

Qi Yun set down his teacup, his expression growing somewhat solemn: "Your elder brother knows your intentions, but Dao-Comprehension Tea is truly far too precious. Even though Junior Brother has it, you should act as if you do not!"

"What Senior Brother Qi says is right."

Qian Wangsun and the others all agreed.

"Many thanks, Senior Brothers, for the counsel."

Li Yuan humbly assented.

Qi Yun glanced at Tong Tong Heihu and the others: "Regarding this matter, you must also keep your lips sealed."

"Naturally."

The few naturally nodded in assent.

Whether because of the Wu Fa Tea, or perhaps because of the Dao-Comprehension Tea, the small banquet could truly be called a gathering where host and guests alike were delighted.

The only thing that left Li Yuan with some regret was that the Prison-Suppressing Gu Gu Shentong had been obtained from a divine-pattern seed and was not something he could bring out to show off — it had not allowed him to fulfill the vow he had secretly made back then at Qi Yun's Fa Heaven Banquet.

'Wait until I've refined the Five-Pole Divine Light…'

Bearing a faint trace of regret, Li Yuan saw the senior brothers off.

……

"Junior Brother is truly a sincere and true cultivator!"

On the giant vessel woven from nine-colored clouds and mists, Tong Tong Heihu withdrew his gaze and said: "Senior Brother Qi, you all go on to negotiate the city-building matter with the 'Mystic Crane Clan.' Leave the relocation of the Great Fortune Star to me!"

"You?"

Qi Yun was not entirely at ease: "Your way of doing things is somewhat rough. This concerns Junior Brother Li's mother star — it's not appropriate, not appropriate…"

But after only a little thought, Qi Yun shook his head repeatedly:

"This matter — Senior Brother Qian, you go!"

"Leave it to me."

Ignoring the bristling Tong Tong Heihu, Qian Wangsun laughed and agreed, then turned to the former:

"Moving the stars isn't just about moving the stars. There's also casting spells, setting up arrays, opening fields, transmitting teachings, reforming systems, and aiding the people. Besides, you'll have to look after Junior Brother Li's family and old acquaintances…"

"Can you handle it?"

Tong Tong Heihu was rendered speechless by the question and could only snort coldly.

Wei Wang Xuanying, on the other hand, was very straightforward. He drew a cyan treasured sword from his sword case and handed it to Qian Wangsun.

"Master permitted me to establish a sect and pass down all the Gong Fa I've learned, except for the Green Emperor Longevity Scripture…"

Qi Yun took out a jade slip and a small qiankun pouch: "In the pouch are all manner of divine patterns, spirit materials, and some Tongshi Spheres. Just find worthy talents to pass them down to."

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed from the void, producing two fruits the size of green apricots:

"These two are fruits from my Darkvine Tree. They have the ability to alter one's innate constitution. Junior Brother Qian, keep them carefully. When the time comes, you can give them to Junior Brother Li's family."

"Darkvine Tree fruits!"

Tong Tong Heihu's eyes went wide at once, and even the taciturn Wei Wang Xuanying looked over, quite startled.

Naturally, a Darkvine Tree nurtured by the Green Emperor Longevity Scripture could bear fruit, but normally, it might not bear fruit even once in three to five hundred years, and most were kept for the cultivator's own use.

They had known each other for eight hundred years, and each had only obtained one.

"They can't compare to the Dao-Comprehension Tea."

Qi Yun said only that, then began advising Qian Wangsun on the matters to note during this trip.

"Understood, Senior Brother."

Qian Wangsun put away the Darkvine Tree fruits and noted everything down one by one.

……

Not long after Qi Yun descended the mountain, Fayin Fayin Tongzi returned.

Li Yi held a banquet to entertain him, asking in detail about the proceedings and the changes in Da Yun over the past decade.

After his departure, Pang Pang Wenlong re-established Da Yun, purged the corrupt officials, reorganized court governance, and uprooted the many temples left behind by the Xieshen Sect in years past.

After Fayin Fayin Tongzi arrived, he transmitted many dharma methods, among them one for gathering incense and faith.

This method was extremely simple to begin with—even ordinary people could master it. It allowed one to gather the scattered mental power from daily life and condense it into Yuan coins.

"This life star has already been registered under your name. If you manage it well for a few decades, it will be enough for your daily cultivation needs. If you can find a shepherd, it would be a top-tier foundation as well."

Fayin Fayin Tongzi drank several cups of Bei Wu Fa tea. The tea was useless to him, but he found the flavor quite decent.

"Many thanks, Immortal Child."

Li Yi poured tea for him.

"No more talk—I must get back to tend my herb fields!"

After finishing his tea, Fayin Fayin Tongzi left in a great hurry. He placed extreme importance on his herb fields—they were the resources for his attainment of the Dharma Heaven.

After seeing Fayin Fayin Tongzi off, Li Yi put the Bei Wu Fa tea away. He hadn't yet reached the point of indulging in such tea for daily drinking.

"Long Long Daozhu has refined magic power. Old Long Tou and Elder Daoist Nie should succeed in a few years as well. Senior Sister Fang obtained the True Form Map, so she'll have a chance to enter the Dao in the future…"

"Senior Brother Ba Ba Wanli's son is already seven or eight years old. I must prepare a meeting gift for later… Liu Zheng's business is doing very well. Wang Wang Peiyao is devoted to martial arts training…"

"As for Old Han, he's gained Dong Dong Ershisan's favor. I can't tell if that's good or bad, but knowing his nature, he certainly won't suffer a loss…"

Li Yi poured tea as Li Yi slowly sipped, a faint smile unconsciously appearing at the corner of his mouth.

The calamity of the Great Sun had been resolved, and old friends were each doing well.

Perhaps because he had far fewer worries, he felt the magic power within his body had become much more agile.

"Huu~"

Letting his thoughts drift, Li Yi looked forward to seeing them again in eighty years. Yu Yu Xuanji then gathered his composure and began his daily cultivation.

……

Body tempering, dharma tempering, demon tempering.

Visualization, listening to sounds, fishing.

Reading, martial practice, Tongshi Spheres.

Following his own plan, Li Yi immersed himself in cultivation. Every day was very full—though tedious, he quite found joy in it.

On this day, Li Yi felt something stir. In his divine realm, the Jin Chi Peng bird sang out loudly, and on the treetop of the Darkvine Tree, strands of light gathered.

"Lii~"

The Jin Chi Peng bird circled the tree, crying out from time to time.

All the True Forms were startled by it and looked over one after another. Even the usually lazy Azure Dragon raised its head to look.

"Weng~"

Under the gaze of the True Forms, the strands of Jin Guang wove together and actually coiled into a massive bird's nest atop the treetop.

"?"

The Azure Dragon couldn't help but curiously stretch its head forward, its long dragon whiskers drooping down. It saw that within the nest, waves of heat rolled, and strands of Jin Guang gathered, condensing into exactly ten bird eggs—no more, no less.

"Crack!"

One of the eggs split open, and a fledgling with wings of blazing gold flowing with fire, yet with only three legs, stepped out of the shell, pecking at the eggshell with its small beak.

The Azure Dragon looked at the Jin Chi Peng bird, and the latter also gazed back curiously.

Before long, all ten eggs had hatched, and the nest was immediately filled with sounds of 'cheep cheep chatter chatter'. The rolling heat caused the Darkvine Tree's leaves to sense it and droop their branches down.

"Huu~"

Li Yi landed atop the treetop, focusing his spirit to sense his ninth True Form.

Regarding the ninth True Form, Lord Lord Tianyu had told him to choose freely, but Li Yi had still deliberated for a long time, comparing many options before finally making his choice.

It was not the Three-Legged Golden Crow.

Rather, it is the 'Sun Nest'.

This true-form diagram comes from the 'Qianyang Mount Wuji Dao', belongs to the ultimate-yang true form, capable of nurturing ten three-legged Golden Crows; speaking of grade, it is even above the 'Great Sun True Form' and 'Golden Crow True Form'.

Moreover, the Golden Crow is a fierce beast, able to draw upon slaughtering qi to strengthen itself, saving a great deal of effort in expanding through visualization.

At most, he'd just have to work the demons of Tian Mo Fa Jie a little harder,

Besides, the bird's nest is of wood attribute, able to further empower the Shan Xuan Teng She.

"Ten Golden Crows are bound to be stronger than one." With a raise of his hand, he drew a wisp of slaughtering qi from Jiuying and crushed it, feeding it to the ten fledglings; he was quite satisfied with his choice.

A single Golden Crow's grade may not match Jiuying's, but with ten together, the grade has likely already caught up to Zhulong, on par, or even surpassed — it's hard to say.

The Zhulong true-form diagram is the foremost true-form diagram within the Xuanxuan Liangyi Dao, and this Sun Nest true-form diagram likewise ranks first within the Qianyang Mount Wuji Dao.

"It's just that strengthening is rather slow."

Glancing at the Zhulong slumbering drowsily beneath the shade, Li Yuan shook his head inwardly; this Zhulong true form truly strengthened far too slowly — beyond visualization, there seemed to be no other way.

"That Daoist Master Fuyuan likely has a method, but…"

The thought had only risen in his heart when Li Yuan already cut it off; even without Master Master Fufa's reminder, he remained wary of that senior brother of the true lineage.

"The nine great true forms are now complete; once the true forms are fully strengthened, I'll have the foundation to forge a first-grade Longhu Longhu Dadan!"

Li Yuan was inwardly satisfied.

The Chaotic Body carries the capacity to bear ten thousand dharmas; for other dao bodies, gathering nine forms is no easy feat, but for him it feels rather like water finding its course.

Conflicts between forms, mutual attacks and slanders — none of that ever appeared at all.

"With ten extra Golden Crows, I'll have to be more diligent refining demons in the future; conveniently, Fayin Fayin Tongzi has also returned, so a bit more risk is acceptable."

Just as Li Yuan was preparing to Tui Chu Shen Jing, he suddenly sensed something.

He saw the Shan Xuan Teng She trembling violently; though limited by his realm, it could grow to at most nine hundred ninety-nine zhang, yet at this moment, there was a feeling of expansion and elevation.

"How timely."

Li Yuan followed the sound with his gaze.

He saw, on the Shan Xuan Teng She's body, wisps and strands of purple patterns blooming with light, spreading toward every branch and leaf.

It was that the Shan Xuan Teng She had finally fully absorbed that Nightmare Nine-Headed Serpent slough!

"Hum~"

Purple light flared brilliantly, dazzling and resplendent; the Shan Xuan Teng She swayed violently, seemingly attempting to break through the thousand-zhang limit.

"No need to rush."

Li Yuan gently stroked the tree's body, soothing it, letting it try to convert this into its own foundation, to rise again when he achieved Tu Po Si Jing, without wasting a single bit.

"Whine~"

The Shan Xuan Teng She's swaying eased slightly; the purple light gradually receded, sinking into the tree's body — only at the branches did clusters of purple flower buds emerge.

"Is it about to bear fruit?"

Li Yuan glanced at those eight flower buds, gathered his divine sense, and sank it into the Shan Xuan Teng She.

"Hum~"

Purple light wove together within his mind-sea, transforming into various messages surging forth.

"Is this a divine ability drawn from that Nightmare Serpent slough…? A spell? Or a shamanic art?"

Sensing the surging messages, Li Yuan for a moment could not distinguish.

"It feels more like a shamanic art!"

After a long while, having digested the many messages, Li Yuan opened his eyes; with a stretch of his hand, the Shan Xuan Teng She had already lowered ten thousands of branches, transforming into a serpent's body.

On the originally pitch-black serpent body, purple patterns spread throughout, and at its head, eight small fleshy nodules had appeared.

"This shamanic art is quite wondrous."

Soothing the somewhat uneasy Shan Xuan Teng She, Li Yuan's eyes were very bright.

The shamanic art the Shan Xuan Teng She obtained from absorbing the serpent slough is called 'Nine'; as the name implies, any serpent-kind, regardless of original bloodline, will inevitably grow nine heads.

But this differs from Jiuying's nine heads; these nine heads, for the Shan Xuan Teng She, are more like nine lives!

"In theory, if this shamanic art is mastered, the Shan Xuan Teng She can split into nine, equivalent to nine natal spirit-plants, able to manifest nine tree-demons, and even substitute death nine times!"

This was the first point Li Yuan noticed.

Afterwards, through detailed analysis, he discovered this shamanic art also applies to Jiuying!

Jiuying also has nine heads and a serpent's body, able to bear this shamanic art — yet instead of growing nine heads, it would be nine heads merging into one!

"If the nine heads merge into one, could the nine great spirit-aspects be gathered into one?"

Li Yuan speculated inwardly; it was not that he didn't wish to try, but this shamanic art was after all only obtained from the Nightmare Nine-Headed Serpent slough, and was incomplete.

"To master this shamanic art, one option is to devour a fifth-realm Nightmare Nine-Headed Serpent…"

"The other is to pile up countless demons' flesh and blood to nurture this shamanic art, until it reaches great completion, perfection!"

In a single turn of thought, Li Yuan had already chosen the latter.

Nightmare Nine-Headed Serpents are far more expensive than Fate-Defying Tortoises, and even then there's no market for them — they Xu Yao Da Gong, far less economical than demons.

"But I'll have to work those demons a little harder."

Li Yuan felt that Tian Mo Fa Jie truly was a treasure land.

Apart from demons originally transformed from divine patterns, the flesh and blood of any spirit-beast or strange-beast could absolutely never possess the ability to nourish true forms and shamanic arts.

"Sacrificing seas of demons in blood — there is a slim chance of reversing Mu Mu Xiantian…"

Li Yuan thought of Master Master Fufa, but the thought had only turned once before he dismissed it.

Tian Mo Fa Jie is indeed a treasure land, yet it is also one of Opening Gui Xu's notably vicious places; to this day he has not seen many demons of Tian Mo Fa Jie, and dares not be careless.

……

Several days later, Shen Ying'er returned from purchasing divine patterns, and Li Yuan refined the ninth Zhong Pin Fa, 'Sun Nest magic power'.

Afterwards, he chose the Nine Gates Yang-Flowing Art to strengthen the Sun-Nest Golden Crow.

Next, Li Yuan devoted himself to cultivation.

Each day, he still refined magic and tempered his body, cultivated his demonic form to strengthen his true essence; he did not return to the God-Burial Coffin Mi Jing, but focused solely on finding the Yellow Ape to hone his combat techniques.

One year later, the Bai Hu true essence, nourished by the aura of slaughter, first reached perfection, swallowing and spitting out nine Metal-Flowing Arts, and refined the third thread of Metal Nature.

Li Yuan refined it into his Chaos Body, then continued to cultivate and refine magic.

Refining the Metal Nature consumed too much magic power; he had not yet gathered enough.

Besides cultivation, Li Yuan did not forget to fish and listen to sounds; every half year, he would listen to the Heavenly Sound once, most of which concerned the Other-Dimension Realm and other branches of the Dao of the Heavenly Dao Sect.

He recorded each piece of intelligence one by one, still focusing solely on cultivation.

Another year later, the Nine-Headed Infant, which had similarly drawn upon the aura of slaughter to strengthen itself, also reached perfection, refining the fourth thread of Metal Nature; that same year, he had accumulated enough eighty-one units of magic power to refine back the second thread of Metal Nature and merge it into the Demon-Refining Sword.

It was from this day on that he began trying to nurture the sword.

The Demon-Refining Immortal-Slaying Sword, enlightened by two threads of Metal Nature, had already become quite divine; it could absorb the divine patterns within when slaying demonic heads, and if it felt unsuitable, it could be severed and destroyed at any time.

Because he had to nurture another Demon-Refining Sword, Li Yuan increased the intensity of his movement and magic refinement; once, he even attracted a fourth-realm demonic head, which he only managed to slay by deploying the Prison-Suppressing Gu Gu Shentong.

On the same day, the Burning-Heart Ape, nourished by the aura of slaughter, also reached perfection, refining the fifth thread of Metal Nature.

As usual, he merged it into his Chaos Body.

……

"The Sword God Tomb is about to open; cultivators from all realms are heading there, including some from the Dao of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and there are cultivators setting up stalls outside this absolute desolation, exchanging goods..."

"... Deep within the Return to Ruins, in the Mount Wuji Heaven where seven colors interweave, a divine person quietly set out; after not noticing a sword light descending from the heavens, he breathed a sigh of relief and sped toward the Yong Ye Fa Jie, seemingly because a 'Myriad Arts Assembly' was about to be held there..."

"... Somewhere in the Return to Ruins, atop a massive warship, Gu Shan Xuan Sheng sat cross-legged, with qi and energy rising around him; cultivators one by one stood as if facing a great enemy, waiting for the 'Shan Xuan Huang Realm to Open'..."

"... After the sixty-fourth failed exploration of the Demon-Refining Land, Yu Yu Fa Huan Zhen contacted the Boatman Hai again; the Boatman Hai Master no longer dispatched disciples, but instead sent someone to contact the top ten on the Tian Shi Yuan Combat Star List..."

"... The present-day Star Sea is boundless, with infinite vitality; in some realm, a youth calling himself 'Qian' felt a sense of loss..."

……

In the gray Dingxin Dingxin Shitai, lights of various colors interwove.

Li Yuan was sorting through various types of Ling Yin De Pin.

Having already advanced the Sound-Listening Talisman to the thirteenth tier, the quality of Ling Yin De Pin had improved again; although most were still invalid intelligence, after five years of seclusion, the harvest from organizing them was considerable.

"Senior Brother Gu is also preparing to go to the Shan Xuan Huang Realm."

Li Yuan selected that piece of Ling Yin De Pin, feeling somewhat Solemn in his heart.

During his five years of seclusion, he had heard much Ling Yin De Pin concerning the Shan Xuan Huang Realm; at least more than thirty disciples of the Dao of the Heavenly Dao Sect had died at the hands of cultivators in that realm.

He even suspected that the cultivators of the Shan Xuan Huang Realm were deliberately luring present-day cultivators in.

"I wonder if Senior Brother Yuan Han is safe?"

Yuan Han had gone three years earlier than Gu Shan Xuan Sheng; there had been mentions of him in previous Ling Yin De Pin, and Li Yuan had been paying attention; now, seeing no Ling Yin De Pin related to him, his heart eased slightly.

No news was also good news.

"... In a vast Wang Yang, a straw-cloaked fishing old man seemed to sense something; he lightly lifted his fishing rod, then frowned, and vanished into the Wang Yang; immediately, a giant palm descended from the sky, smashing this Wang Yang to pieces..."

It's that old fisherman again!

Seeing this piece of intelligence, Li Yuan's eyelid twitched.

Over the five years, he had heard no small amount of Ling Yin De Pin concerning that old fellow; what made him more wary was that when he advanced the Calamity-Handling Talisman to the thirteenth tier, he had flung a heavenly tribulation.

That one, he had flung directly into that old fellow's fish basket!

The result was that the cast missed entirely...

"That old fellow has his unlucky day too."

Li Yuan's mood improved somewhat; he then turned his gaze to the Weapon-Handling Talisman.

Thanks to the large sum of Yuan Coins gained from combat, the Sound-Listening Talisman and the Calamity-Handling Talisman had successively advanced to the thirteenth tier, far surpassing the Weapon-Handling Talisman, which could not advance because the 'Star Core' had yet to be purchased.

The other materials needed to advance the Weapon-Handling Talisman to the eleventh tier were nothing to him; only this Star Core was an issue.

The Star Sea is infinite; the price of a star core is actually not high; he had even bought one, but it failed.

"It must be a Life Star Core."

Thinking of this, Li Yuan felt a headache.

Stars capable of nurturing life are of extremely high value; no holy land or sect would allow anyone to extract such star cores.

As a result, their price is astronomically high, and they are available at a price but not on the market.

"I hope to find one at the gathering outside the Sword God Tomb."

After sorting through all the Ling Yin De Pin completely, Li Yuan slowly opened his eyes; as he prepared to move and refine magic, a sudden thought arose in his heart.

"Ying Mo Shen?"

……

Whoosh~

Beneath the crimson sky, wild winds raged, waves of qi rolled, and strange beasts roared intermittently amidst thunder and lightning.

Within a mist of demonic shadows, the Cloud-Demon Strange Land was heavily guarded; numerous demonic soldiers patrolled all directions, and demonic shadows flew out and flew back, dragging along strange beasts or demonic soldiers.

Upon the nine-story rosy tower, demonic shadows interwove like mist, with powerful demonic soldiers standing ready.

Within the demonic mist, Ying Mo Shen sat cross-legged, refining a fist-sized 'black cocoon'; inside this cocoon was the Profound Yin Lei Chi and the Divine Ape Mountain he had previously captured.

"Hoo!"

"Inhale!"

Amidst swirling demonic shadows, Li Yuan concentrated his spirit to perceive.

The difficulty of refining a strange land across realms was greater than imagined; he had spent six years in total, and now it was reaching its conclusion.

"Voom~"

Accompanied by a trembling hum within his mind sea, Li Yuan seemed to see a violent divine ape roaring in fury.

"The Great Sun Divine Ape Transformation with eighty-one layers of law prohibitions…"

This body-tempering spell seemed to come from a great scripture, belonging to the upper-grade of body-tempering spells, with eighty-one layers of law prohibitions; though it consumed an enormous amount of magic power, its might was also tremendous.

He estimated that if his true body had possessed this spell in those years, even maintaining it for an instant would have been enough to pound that Lin Yue into a pulp of flesh!

"Once I transmit all these gains back to Mount Mount Dongxuan later, it will be enough to completely reshape my spell system; when the time comes, I'll go and compete with that Five Dragon Immortal once more!"

Thinking of the gains from Ying Mo Shen, Li Yuan felt his heart pound faster.

But he quickly gathered his thoughts and began refining the 'Mystic Yin Lei Chi', of which only the last corner remained.

The remnant of this Zuo Wu Jing strange land was his reliance for exploring the core battlefield.

This Mystic Yin Lei Chi was not a spell, but rather a divine-realm creation similar to the 'Phoenix Fire Furnace'.
