This Taoist, despite his age, had good comprehension. With just a few light pointers from himself, he was about to take that crucial step,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Lin Fang quietly employed his mana, gathering countless strands of solar energy at his fingertips. As he extended his finger, a sound like thunder boomed in everyone’s ears, carrying with it an aura of destructive might that struck fear into their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tip of his finger gently touched the old daoist priest’s forehead, and in his eyes, it was as if he had found himself in a world filled with thunder, where magnificent heavenly thunders cleansed all things and purged all evils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura of annihilation seemed to envelop him, giving him a sense of nearing death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No!\" the old daoist priest exclaimed anxiously. He did not wish to die like this. Even faced with magnificent heavenly thunders, he was not willing to give up on his life easily, despite being of advanced age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strong will to survive made his body extraordinarily active, and at this critical moment, it seemed he saw the countless past events of his life. They were memories of his entire life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mischievousness of his childhood, the rebelliousness of his youth, the confusion of his middle age, and the joy of hearing the Dao later in life—all of it unfolded before his eyes like a lantern show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the words Lin Fang had spoken before echoed in his ears. With a stroke of enlightenment, he suddenly grasped his opportunity, finding his own will and belief in his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A spark of pure yang began to generate. The mana inside him began to continuously transform into primordial spirit power, and his originally weakening primordial spirit immediately became replete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wrinkles on his face gradually smoothed out, his withered hands regained their fullness, his silver hair turned black, and in a short while, he shed his once-aged appearance and became young again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rejuvenation!\" his junior brother watching from the side exclaimed incredulously at the sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old daoist priest looked at his own hands in disbelief. The skin that had been sagging due to age had become smooth again; he could feel that this once-decrepit body was rejuvenated with vitality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder they call refining qi to transform the spirit the foundation of immortals. At this realm, the power of the primordial spirit and mana can be converted into each other, akin to a water bottle increasing in size and being able to hold more water. Moreover, mana influenced by the primordial spirit power could better nourish the physical body, and this was the true secret of rejuvenation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a thud, the old daoist priest knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lin Fang, saying, \"I thank you, Senior, for your guidance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the grace of achieving the Dao, and no amount of thanks would be excessive. Lin Fang accepted this great tribute with composure, smiling slightly and said, \"You have reached this realm through your deep accumulation, I was merely fortuitous in my timing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lin Fang spoke so modestly, the old daoist priest was very clear in his heart that without Lin Fang’s guidance, this step could have trapped him for life, leading to death without achieving the Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s wonderful, senior brother. You are now among the immortals!\" the younger junior brother looked enviously at the old daoist priest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old Daoist priest, however, didn’t show any pride and instead humbly shook his head, saying, \"How can I consider myself among the immortals? I have only just set foot on the path of the Dao. The way ahead is unclear; I don’t even know how to proceed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Once you cross this threshold, you should accumulate the power of the Primordial Spirit to reach the realm of Refining Spirit to Reverse the Void. Sadly, this path is extremely arduous, and countless predecessors have fallen along this very road.\" A robust voice came through, and as everyone turned their heads, they saw the True Immortal Ruyi, clad in a Daoist robe, standing not far away, gazing at the old Daoist priest with satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disciples pay respect to Master.\" The two Daoists quickly bowed in a salute to greet their master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Immortal Ruyi slowly walked up to the old Daoist priest with a smile and said, \"Good, you grasped the opportunity and took the crucial step. You have not let me down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Disciple owes today’s achievements to Master’s dedicated teaching.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, indeed, many people thought you had exhausted your potential, and your future was uncertain, but I alone believed you could be reborn from the chrysalis and step into the Immortal Sect. From now on, let’s see who dares to question my judgment.\" True Immortal Ruyi laughed heartily, his face full of pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that you have reached this step, I should tell you about the path that lies ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Upon reaching the realm of Refining Qi to Transform the Spirit, you can transform mana into the power of the Primordial Spirit. Strengthen the Primordial Spirit until you can touch the Way of Heaven and Earth one day. This is a process of accumulation over time, requiring persistent and meticulous effort. Without a certain level of patience and perseverance, it is difficult to achieve success, which is why some practitioners among the Human Clan take another path, treating their physical bodies as mere clothing, wholly nurturing the Primordial Spirit. Once the Primordial Spirit is strong enough, they cast aside their bodies to touch the Way of Heaven and Man,\" he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But without a physical body, even if one reaches the next realm, how can one continue to practice?\" the old Daoist priest asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is exactly what I am about to discuss. In this world, there are two treasures. One is called the Immortal Transformation Pond, and the other is the Eight Treasures Merit Pool. Though different in nature, both lead to the same goal of transforming the physical body, held respectively in the hands of the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect. Joining either side allows one to reshapes their physical body,\" sighed True Immortal Ruyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is precisely because of this that these two powers continuously draw talent from the Three Realms, becoming colossal entities that pressure the three worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old Daoist priest lowered his head in thought. By nature indifferent to sycophancy, joining these factions would be good, but it meant giving up one’s freedom. His solitary practice of cultivation wasn’t for the sake of eternal life, but to explore the mysteries of heaven and earth; to live for longevity’s sake alone would be missing the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think? Have you decided which path you will take?\" asked True Immortal Ruyi gravely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The disciple has decided. To cultivate both life and spirit—if that leads to my death, then it is my destiny. As for the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist Sect, my nature is indifferent; I do not plan to join,\" the old Daoist priest said softly, but the firmness in his tone was audible to all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, True Immortal Ruyi was quite pleased to hear this. If the old Daoist priest had resolved to join one of those powers, although he wouldn’t have harmed him, he would not have taught him further. After all, he was a monster by nature, inherently conflicting with these two factions, and he harbored not the slightest bit of fondness for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do not believe in feather transformation; it is a deception,\" Lin Fang suddenly spoke out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice was eerie, causing everyone to feel a chill. Even True Immortal Ruyi was surprised as he looked at Lin Fang, wondering what he meant by that statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, Lin Fang fell silent, as if he had never uttered those words, his demeanor as guarded as if harboring a profound secret. The others sensed the terrible secret hidden within and did not speak again.\u003C\u002Fp>",1380,"2026-06-05T19:13:35.781Z",1,"novelbin.me","e93e4cd617cd5245340e8e478f0fa0c89cc660c48e511501798e3446e548644d","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-113","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-111",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-cover.jpg"]
