Chapter 278: The Fengdu Avatar

The Yin-Yang True Gang intertwined and evolved; the power of Yin and Yang shifted constantly within Chen Mo's body, like ocean waves, one surging higher than the last.

These forces surged and shifted incessantly within his Small World, and the power of the Yin-Yang Law contained within Chen Mo's Small World also increased.

The Mortal Transformation was still underway, advancing from the seventh refinement of the Yin-Yang True Gang to the eighth.

Its difficulty even exceeded the sum of the previous seven times; even for Chen Mo, this was no easy task.

Within the Yin Yang Jade, the power of the Law that was constantly evolving continued to merge into Chen Mo's Yin-Yang True Gang.

This process was like water and milk blending together, yet Chen Mo did not divert his focus to manage it, merely carefully controlling the transformation of his own Yin-Yang True Gang.

The process of Mortal Transformation was by no means entirely smooth, but rather filled with risks and fluctuations.

Especially the hurdle from the seventh to the eighth time; even with Chen Mo's comprehension, he had to be cautious and careful.

Otherwise, once a failure occurred, while it would not result in any injury, it would greatly delay the progress of his own cultivation.

Chen Mo carefully guided the Yin-Yang True Gang, beginning to condense it further.

Two Yin Yang Taiji Patterns were born within Chen Mo's Small World.

This was the true Yin Yang Dao.

The power of Yin and Yang alternated with each other, and within the Small World was a new round of scenes.

This Great Dao contained infinite Creation Power, and the mysteries within were not to be discussed with outsiders; only those who comprehended it would have insights.

The power of Yin and Yang was indeed formidable, but by the time it was conducted there, not much remained.

What Chen Mo wanted was for them to be separated from each other, and then to guide them so that Extreme Yin would produce Yang, and Extreme Yang would produce Yin.

Yet Chen Mo understood that as he perfected this Secret Skill, its power would also gradually increase.

Both Yin-Yang Profound Dragons began to change, and Chen Mo's mastery and understanding of them naturally advanced a step further.

The change between Pure Yin and Pure Yang, while not comparable to the Yin Yang Reversal with its boundless Power of Silence, was still a power not to be underestimated.

Chen Mo controlled the two Profound Dragons as they roamed within his body, Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang, bringing boundless great power to this world.

Time passed minute by minute; the Extreme Yang dragon, in the process of wandering and flying, gradually gave birth to a wisp of Pure Yin Qi.

And those Innate Life forms that were in the process of spirit-birth were the same; only those with better luck could escape this catastrophe.

They represented Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang respectively; both were forces of extreme purity.

Yin and Yang could create and destroy all things; Chen Mo had indeed not yet achieved Yin Yang Reversal, but he had blazed a new trail, allowing the power of Yin and Yang to exert terrifying might.

Of course, this was far inferior to the Secret Skills created by those Great Ability.

The Small World fell into complete exhaustion in a very short time; although a small amount of life remained, it was either hidden deep underground or dormant at the bottom of the sea.

Only in this way could the current refinement of the Yin-Yang True Gang be further completed.

Until finally, using this as a foundation, he would create his own Secret Skill.

Not only that, this wisp of Pure Yin power was also constantly absorbing Extreme Yang power to enhance itself.

The entire world seemed as if a natural disaster and doomsday had arrived.

However, it had now advanced a step further, with the intent of Yin and Yang roaming wantonly within the world.

The Yin-Yang Profound Dragons created, and every circulation brought something new and different; the two Yin-Yang Profound Dragons Chen Mo mastered had changed from their initial Extreme Yin and Extreme Yang states.

Previously, these black and white Yin Yang Fish could only exist within the Taiji Pattern and had to depend on each other to coexist.

Unrestricted by any constraints, Chen Mo was merely carefully guiding the operation of these two forces.

Countless plants grew wildly; the originally dormant spiritual roots and Innate Life forms now used their own power to come from their places of dormancy into the world as much as possible.

And almost at the same time, within the Extreme Yin dragon, a wisp of Pure Yang power was born.

Within the entire world, even the air was frozen; the originally lush plants were first frozen and shattered, and then immediately burned again.

This process became faster and faster as time went on.

This power was extremely weak at first, but it was tenacious and would not be disturbed or destroyed by any force.

The vast oceans and marshes, mountains and rivers, were first completely frozen, and then immediately completely boiled.

Destruction would also bring new vitality; the circulation of the Yin-Yang Profound Dragons constantly introduced more perfect Yin-Yang Law into this world.

Yin-Yang balance could evolve Creation Power, but the two forces had gone to extremes; although not comparable to the Power of Silence produced by Yin Yang Reversal, the destruction to the Small World was still extremely formidable.

They began to change constantly, and within the two Yin-Yang Profound Dragons, the power of the other side began to gradually occupy more space.

Until finally, both sides were completely balanced, and the power of Yin and Yang no longer roamed the entire Small World, but each stopped in one place.

One Yin Yang Taiji Pattern took shape, but immediately after, one Yin and one Yang, the two black and white Yin Yang Fish, truly began to roam wantonly within the world.

Being able to reach this step represented that his own comprehension of the Yin-Yang Law had reached a new realm.

Having experienced multiple destructions and accumulations, this time it erupted with more active vitality.

The originally born spiritual roots vanished in an instant; only those with better luck were hidden in the deep sea or buried deep underground.

Chen Mo did not interfere with this; only after destruction would new life be brought forth.

As these two Yin Yang Taiji Patterns began to operate, the vitality of the Small World began to recover.

Chen Mo's movements were very steady; the two fish, one Yin and one Yang, swam within his world.

More spiritual roots and Innate Life forms, far stronger than before, were further nurtured.

The accumulated foundation of the entire world was enhanced, and the Yin-Yang True Gang mastered by Chen Mo also completed its eighth Mortal Transformation.

He did not hesitate at all; the fully charged Transformation Pearl was triggered again.

The energy currently inside the Transformation Pearl was still what had been charged in the Zhenwu Pool previously.

Chen Mo estimated that the Zhenwu Pool could only play this role one more time; next, even if he entered it, the help it brought him would not be great.

At most, it would be to further refine himself, but it would not be able to charge the Transformation Pearl.

Therefore, whether to enter the Zhenwu Pool secret realm again was relatively not very important.

He did not need to waste time waiting for the opportunity to enter it again; if possible, he had to find a way to break through his current realm as soon as possible.

Breaking the shackles as soon as possible and accelerating his cultivation was what he needed to do.

As infinite laws surged forth, Chen Mo's physical body began a new round of creation; with the power of three thousand laws added to his body, only then could it be called a physical body becoming saintly.

Upon reaching this realm, a Martial Artist needs no external means, as they can control wind, thunder, and all phenomena through their physical body alone.

At this realm, a Martial Artist can be called a Great Ability based purely on the strength of their physical body.

Chen Mo is, of course, far from achieving this, but by his estimation, if there is progress in the physical body becoming saintly, he has at least completed more than half.

It is just that the further one goes, the harder the path becomes, especially since, strictly speaking, there is no complete cultivation method for the physical body becoming saintly.

The Refining Body Method stops upon reaching the True One Realm, and later Martial Artists rarely deduce this method in detail.

While there have indeed been strong Great Abilities in the world who achieved a saintly physical body, the methods they relied on all involved drawing Heavenly Law into their physical bodies after their cultivation level had improved.

They first possessed a certain level of strength through other methods, then went on to cultivate the physical body.

There is no Martial Artist who has relied purely on their own strength, cultivating only the physical body step by step, to reach the strength of a Great Ability.

Such an achievement has never been accomplished by anyone in the world.

Chen Mo might have a good chance, but he will not walk this path.

If one walks the path of creating a method to the end, the achievement will certainly be very high.

Yet the myriad hardships involved are not for outsiders to know, and most importantly, he does not have that much time to waste.

Chen Mo is all too clear about his situation; compared to other matters, focusing on improving his cultivation is the most important thing.

If one day the Mirage Sea Catastrophe is quelled and the world is at peace, then he would be very interested in creating a Secret Skill that only cultivates the physical body.

The power of the laws flowed through his physical body and then surged into the Small World, as Chen Mo controlled his remaining Yin-Yang True Gang to accept this Mortal Transformation.

The transformation brought about by the Transformation Pearl is different from his own cultivation; this process is gentle as water, without any difficulties or obstacles, and he only needs to slowly accept these powers.

The change happened quietly, and more Yin-Yang Law surged into the Yin-Yang True Gang.

As the Yin and Yang power circulated, wisps of life-giving Creation Power were born.

Chen Mo plucked a blade of wild grass from the ground; this was the most ordinary wild grass, with nothing special about it.

A wisp of Creation Power surged into it, and the grass began to change, initially growing wildly in form.

But immediately after, a wisp of dim spirituality was born from within; this wisp of spirituality was extremely weak, but it truly existed.

Chen Mo waved his hand gently and planted this grass again.

This is the profoundness of Creation Power, which can allow things without spirituality to give birth to spiritual wisdom.

Although there is an Enlightenment Method in the world, the most basic requirement for such a method is that the creature being enlightened must have spirituality, no matter how weak that spirituality may be.

Therefore, while many birds and beasts have been enlightened, few people can enlighten grass and tree spirits.

Because to enlighten grass and tree spirits, one must allow them to give birth to spiritual wisdom from nothing.

The difficulty of these two is simply not the same concept.

Even if Chen Mo has only initially achieved this, it is far superior to many Martial Artists of the same realm.

Only by achieving this could he complete the ninth transformation of his own Yin-Yang Gang Qi.

The Gang Qi changing nine times represents that he has reached the limit in this realm; at least according to what is currently known, there is no possibility of further improvement.

Chen Mo slowly opened his eyes, ending this cultivation.

Only at this moment did he have the mind to determine how long he had been cultivating.

A full one hundred and three years; this time seems very long.

But to him, he did not feel much change while focusing on cultivation.

To complete this one hundred and three years of cultivation, he spent a full thirty-seven thousand-plus points of contribution.

But it was all worth it.

As the cultivation ended, the power of time circulating within the palace slowly stopped.

Chen Mo's cultivation time was indeed very long, but only one year had passed in the outside world.

Stepping out of the palace, almost instantly, Chen Mo's Xuanhuang Heaven Token received a message.

Fengdu Niangniang sent a message, delivering a letter talisman to him, which was now placed in the True Martial Tower base, telling him to go and retrieve it as soon as possible.

The moment Chen Mo saw the message, he set off.

Even though he could not use the wonders of space, under full-speed eruption, he still did not spend much time before arriving at the True Martial Tower base.

But the speed was still a bit slow, and the commotion caused along the way was too great.

Countless Heaven and Earth Qi were overturned by him, and it took a good while for the whole area to return to calm.

It seems he must find a way to cultivate a movement divine ability; he cannot use the wonders of space within the True Martial Tower, so he can only travel with great divine abilities for daily movement.

Chen Mo had not cultivated such divine abilities, as he had previously relied on the method of space.

In fact, it is not just him; if there is no special need, the vast majority of True One Realm Martial Artists use the mysteries of space directly for travel, with no need to cultivate other divine abilities.

But the situation here is different from other places, and most of the divine abilities within the True Martial Tower are open for free to True One Martial Artists like Chen Mo.

Many Martial Artists will cultivate a divine ability to facilitate walking within Ju Hai City.

Arriving at the True Martial Tower base, Chen Mo first went to find Ma Qingshi.

"Senior, this junior received a message that there is a letter talisman placed with you," Chen Mo called out from afar toward the small building.

There was no response from the small building, only a red letter talisman was sent out.

The letter talisman was the size of a palm, with a blood-colored character carved on it.

Chen Mo found an empty small building by himself and immediately activated the wonder of the letter talisman.

In an instant, a blood-colored phantom appeared, looking exactly like Fengdu Niangniang.

"In the world where you are, is my true body located there?"

The phantom spoke in a deep voice, her gaze constantly sizing up Chen Mo.

"That's right, this is Senior; you asked me to hand over this token of my family to you," Chen Mo's tone was steady, and although what he said was a bit awkward, the Fengdu Niangniang before him understood.

"Not bad, I have come to know the situation my true body told me about. That Dao Haizhen has also told me quite a bit about you; the True Martial Tower can still be called a force suitable for cultivation, you may just cultivate well within it."

Fengdu Niangniang nodded; although the figure appearing here was but a projection.

The methods she could employ were quite ingenious, as this place was where a portion of her avatar resided.

By such means, she could isolate the interference of the Mirage Sea and avoid being dragged into it due to the manifestation of her divine sense.

Furthermore, as long as the distance was not too great, the avatars could communicate with one another.

"When you reach the Zhen Yi Realm Third Layer, come to Juhaiguan, and I will gift you a fortuitous encounter.

In addition, I have some items for you to deliver to my true body; holding this token of mine, you may use the Teleportation Array within the city at will," Fengdu Niangniang continued to instruct.

Since she had items for Chen Mo to deliver, she had to ensure that Chen Mo could use the Array without restriction.

Otherwise, if it took decades or a century to deliver an item, she did not have the patience, and she was even more worried that accidents might occur during the process.

"This junior understands," Chen Mo immediately accepted the order.

He was not very concerned about that great fortuitous encounter right now; he cared more about the authority to use the Teleportation Array at will.

In this way, he could travel back and forth between the Cangxuan World and the Xuanhuang Heaven at any time.

"With your current cultivation, I have nothing much to give you, so I shall gift you this drop of essence blood for self-protection. You must deliver these items to my true body as soon as possible."

Fengdu Niangniang's avatar continued to speak and instruct, taking out two ancient bamboo slips and a blood-colored hexagonal crystal.

Chen Mo hurriedly took these items, not examining them closely, and simply stored them into his Storage Ring first.

As these matters were finished, Fengdu Niangniang's figure began to gradually disappear, until only a drop of essence blood emitting a red glow remained in place.

Chen Mo could feel that this drop of essence blood contained boundless, violent, and terrifying power.

But immediately after, this drop of essence blood submerged into his body and began to dissipate at an extremely fast speed.

The power of this blood merged into his body; should he encounter a crisis, it would firmly protect him.

If his cultivation path remained smooth and he encountered no crisis, then as his cultivation level increased, he could also refine this drop of essence blood as a resource for cultivation.

As the essence blood within his body completely settled, one could not even sense its existence without careful perception.

Chen Mo immediately began to move again; he needed to return to the Cangxuan World first.

He would complete the tasks entrusted by Fengdu Niangniang one by one.
