Chapter 115: Yao God Dharma Form

A strange glint flashed through Jiang Xuan's eyes as he asked, "What methods have existed in the past?"

The Big Black Dog thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there aren't any particularly special methods. The most common is for some of the Human Race to fuse a Yao beast's organs with their own body, but this fusion has major drawbacks. It doesn't truly grant the corresponding bloodline. In the short term, one might gain formidable combat power, but their mind will gradually be eroded by bestial nature, and cultivation will become difficult to advance further."

Jiang Xuan nodded. The previous Gu Litian was exactly like this. This method is nothing but abandoning the root to chase the branches. The one who created it, if not driven to a dead end, must be stupid to the extreme.

"There were also those who secretly imprisoned people with Special Constitutions, keeping them alive with Great Medicine, bathing in their blood daily to gradually align their own aura with the Special Constitution, and finally injecting their essence blood into their own bloodstream. This method indeed reduced the rejection force between the two by a lot, but the blood fusion showed no miraculous signs whatsoever. Moreover, as time passed, the foreign blood in the body became an obstacle to cultivation."

"There were even demonic cultivators who lost their humanity, seeking to obtain a King Body or Divine Body by directly swallowing the other whole. There were also those who used bizarre secret arts to merge two people into one. Without exception, all failed."

Jiang Xuan listened very seriously. These wrong paths tread by predecessors allowed him to avoid many detours. It seemed his research direction had also been wrong.

Jiang Xuan's Primordial Spirit scanned his own body, looking at the Magic Treasures fused as one with his flesh. Their shapes were no different from a normal person's organs.

His pupils were still normal black pupils. Only when mobilizing divine power would they manifest — the left eye pitch black, the right eye crimson red.

Left wrist, right arm, stomach — likewise no different from a normal person. They looked as if they were truly a body of flesh and blood.

His whole body, flesh fused with Xuanhuang Mother Qi, was incomparably firm. With a thought, the Xuanhuang Mother Qi circulated, likewise perfectly normal.

"Holy Blood, Yao God Blood — the bloodline contains incomparably vast information. The Yao God Blood holds part of an Ancient Era Yao God's Laws and Dao. Holy Blood is even more terrifying. Within Ye Fan's blood particles, there are faintly strange scenes of Immortals descending, Yin Yang Dao Diagrams, mountains and rivers, sun and moon. Could these be the strange phenomena of the future Saint Body — Immortal King descending to the Ninth Heaven, Yin Yang Life and Death Diagram, and the like?"

Jiang Xuan's gaze flickered as he looked toward the two still battling inside the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

"The blood particles of Special Constitutions — both Holy Blood and Yao God Blood — are strange particles interconnecting with each other. Power and Dao operate within them. The tiny particles of Yao God Blood are like tiny demons. They have no sentience, nor are they living beings. They are precisely the external manifestation of the Ancient Yao God's Dao. Holy Blood is even more terrifying. Particle after particle connects via Dao Patterns. Almost every drop of blood is equivalent to a miniature formation or Magic Treasure."

Jiang Xuan pondered. He already knew the bloodline structure of Special Constitutions, but the deeper principles eluded him. His several divine abilities, though diverging in different directions from Special Constitutions, strictly speaking, similarly connect the body's particles either via formations or directly as Magic Treasures. Especially his Xuanhuang Body — it fuses the entire body, every inch of skin, hair, bone, limbs, and every bodily particle with the Heaven and Earth Xuan Huang Linglong Pagoda. The body's intricacy surpasses even the Saint Body."

This is the reason he is far stronger than others. Precisely because his flesh contains this incomparably unique structure, it can hold more magic power. Under the interconnection of particles, divine abilities arise naturally.

But why can he not interweave Dao and Principle? This incomparably powerful physical divine ability has instead become a constraint preventing him from advancing further. Jiang Xuan pondered a hundred times but could not solve it.

Jiang Xuan's gaze unintentionally swept toward the Mountains and Rivers Diagram beside him. Inside, the Zi Fu Saintess, this Innate Dao Body, sat cross-legged, calm and indifferent.

"Innate Dao Body, Innate Dao Body..." Jiang Xuan seemed to have grasped some crucial information. The four characters 'Innate Dao Body' kept replaying in his mind.

Jiang Xuan abruptly stood up, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Innate!"

"I understand. So that's how it is. Haha..." Jiang Xuan laughed loudly. At this moment, he already had a conjecture.

The specialness of the Saint Body and those with powerful bloodlines lies in being Innate from birth. Even if one uses cloning methods to create an identical individual, they will not possess the main body's physical anomalies. They will only be an ordinary person with the same appearance.

This involves Spirituality.

And although his Magic Treasures are fused into his flesh, they lack the most important Spirituality. This is the fundamental reason his divine abilities cannot interweave Dao and Principle.

Jiang Xuan looked at the two still battling. He saw that as they threw punches, their fist intent and spirit matched perfectly. Even the occasional mistake was simply their own nature, unrelated to the Spirituality within the fist.

"How do I seek my own Spirituality?"

Inside the Eight Trigrams Furnace, at this moment neither Ye Fan nor Pang Bo could do anything to the other. Both had nearly inexhaustible sources replenishing their divine power, not the slightest sign of exhaustion.

Both simultaneously unleashed 'One Thought, Flowers Bloom; Sovereign Over All Under Heaven,' yet there was not the slightest ethereal attitude. They seemed to have walked a different path on this divine technique.

Ye Fan stood atop an illusory great cauldron. Golden Light was awe-inspiring, like a War God campaigning against Heaven. Countless small cauldrons crisscrossed, each heavy as a mountain. Ye Fan seemed like a deity standing upright between heaven and earth. His majesty covered the world, awe-inspiring without anger. On every small cauldron was branded his Laws and Dao, his fist intent and spirit.

Boom—!

Flames soared. At a glance, the entire Fire Domain was filled with Ye Fan's figure. Countless small cauldrons pressed across the sky. Tens of thousands of human figures and cauldron shadows attacked Pang Bo from all directions.

"Ye Fan's Dao..."

A strange color flashed in Jiang Xuan's eyes. One Thought, Flowers Bloom; Sovereign Over All Under Heaven — this divine technique originally manifests endless falling flower rain, a beautiful artistic conception hiding killing intent. Used by Ye Fan, it instead displayed overwhelming momentum, like a barbarian god crashing straight ahead.

Endless flames raged. High above in the High Heavens, lightning flashed and thunder roared. Pang Bo likewise met him with this divine technique. Countless Xuanhuang great swords — some sweeping horizontally, some cleaving vertically, some slashing diagonally. For a while, the Fire Domain was filled everywhere with the two's battling figures.

This divine technique, used by Pang Bo, bore some resemblance to the Ten Thousand Eight Thousand Swords, but its power far surpassed when the Jin Chi Xiao Peng Wang displayed it.

The two fought more and more fiercely. The Big Black Dog and Yao Xi both felt heart palpitations, shocked. Is this really the combat power Dao Palace Five Heavens cultivators should have?

The Zi Fu Saintess inside the Mountains and Rivers Diagram could perceive the outside world. She too was shocked by the scene of their battle. These two seemed to have advanced even further compared to just now?

The Void shattered. The Fire Domain raged. Behind Pang Bo, a Yao God Dharma Form phantom emerged. He held a broad greatsword in both hands. Space was severed. Annihilation Qi fluctuations appeared!

"Hmm, this Dharma Form?"

The Dharma Form behind Pang Bo moved with Three Heads Six Arms. Its movements were identical to Pang Bo's. It likewise condensed three hundred-zhang giant swords.

Then, the giant swords suddenly slashed down. A massive crack appeared out of thin air, profound and unfathomable.

Boom!

The great cauldron under Ye Fan's feet cracked. His body fissured. He flew backwards, using a secret art to repair his body. He revealed a look of shock. The two had been evenly matched all along, but at this moment, Pang Bo's combat power actually surpassed his.

Jiang Xuan's gaze grew brighter and brighter, his expression joyful.
