Cultivation: Fortune by Lots

Chapter 887 - 336: The Path from Sacred Body to Immortal Body

In the history of the Celestial Master Mansion on Dragon Tiger Mountain, there once was an ancestor with the Innate All-encompassing Holy Body, who, through a fortunate coincidence, was transformed by the heavens into the Senluo Immortal Body through acquired sublimation.For this reason, before Lei Jun and others, he was one of the rare individuals in history to have clearly documented the path of how a Sacred Body can be sublimated into an Immortal Body.

The records in the Celestial Master Mansion of Dragon Tiger Mountain chronicle this ancestor’s entire process of transforming from the Myriad Manifestations Holy Body to the Senluo Immortal Body, making clear the various conditions required.

Of course, this is exceedingly difficult to replicate.

On one hand, the conditions are so harsh that it’s inherently challenging to fulfill. The success of that ancestor was due to profound opportunity and fortune.

Similar to Lei Jun’s Hidden Dragon Spirit Body and Yin Yang Sacred Body, their sublimation paths are also fairly clear today, but the required spiritual objects and opportunities are hard to come by again.

On the other hand, since then, the Celestial Master Mansion has never produced another person initially possessing the Myriad Manifestations Holy Body.

How to sublimely elevate from other lower aptitudes to the Myriad Manifestations Holy Body is a challenge the Mansion has yet to address.

But now, they have one.

If Xin Beiyuan succeeds in transforming from the Myriad Manifestations Holy Body to the Senluo Immortal Body, he will perceive the natural world’s myriad forms and spirits with even greater ease.

When he reaches the Upper Three Heavens, apart from using divine skills, using other talismans will essentially require no mana, as he can completely draw upon the power of heaven and earth.

Even the divine skills practiced in the Upper Three Heavens will significantly reduce mana consumption.

Other cultivators rely only on life-bound magic arts to achieve similar ease, and still, the mana-saving effectiveness does not compare to that of someone possessing the Senluo Immortal Body.

Simultaneously, when mobilizing Global Spiritual Qi, one with the Senluo Immortal Body will receive top priority.

For example, in battles of magic where both sides employ the Thunder Method, a person with the Senluo Immortal Body can gather more thunder and lightning spiritual energy from nature, even disrupting, delaying, and depriving the opponent’s energy gathering.

Thus, the Senluo Immortal Body is considered one of the most advantageous immortal root bones for inheriting the Taoist Talisman Sect.

Naturally, it is also coveted by the Confucian Chanting Sect and the Witchcraft Dance Sect.

Cultivating any lineage emphasizing connection and communication with the world and nature has a tremendous advantage.

"Kang Ming, voluntarily kept him here." Yuan Mobai remarked, eyeing Xin Beiyuan’s name on the list.

Lei Jun: "He’s a bit conflicted."

Yuan Mobai tapped the table at Xin Beiyuan’s name: "And what about the young man’s own thoughts?"

Lei Jun: "His mentor was Kang Ming’s junior brother, who perished crossing his tribulation. In recent years, Kang Ming has been teaching and nurturing him as a representative disciple.

Perhaps due to Kang Ming’s guidance, he holds no resistance against our sect.

He’s mature for his age, his mind steady. He accepted Kang Ming’s arrangements before he left, taking the responsibility of leading the others from the Yellow Sky Sect back to the sect, with no signs of wavering so far.

Of course, without a doubt, he respects Kang Ming greatly, but he is a smart person, and I believe Kang Ming won’t easily turn back to find him."

Yuan Mobai looked up at the ceiling, speaking with a tone of heartfelt emotion: "I hope this child can become a new pillar of our sect in the future, and when that time comes, the regrettable split of the Yellow Sky will truly come to an end."

Lei Jun: "This is also my hope as a disciple."

Yuan Mobai redirected his gaze: "Are you planning to go to Bashu next?"

Lei Jun: "Yes, that’s what I intend to do."

Compared to Lei Jun and others’ overseas campaign against the Mortal Tao Country, the battle in Bashu has not been as smooth.

Previously received reports differed from the earlier Netherworld uprising beneath Mount Shu, where only Zhou Zheng and other Eighth Heavenly Layer cultivators carried the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls against the mortal world. This time, the Huangquan Li Shushan invaded the mortal world again, led by Ninth Heavenly Layer powerhouses.

Moreover, there is not just one.

Among them, a Great Vehicle High Immortal of the Daoist Artifact Refining Sect, having achieved Five Qi Toward the Mysterious Perfection and gaining the body of a Minor Freedom Individual Immortal, made an appearance.

The lord of Huangquan Li Shushan, Ji Yao.

This person personally ventured into the mortal world.

And he brought with him powerful magical treasures like the Netherworld Sword and the White Bone Divine Boat, comparable to the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

This time, Huangquan Li Shushan’s departure from no action to action presents an overwhelming force.

Accompanying Ji Yao is another Great Vehicle High Immortal of the Ninth Heavenly Layer Second Level from the Artifact Refining Sect, Taoist Kong An.

Along with An Zhiyu, Li Yuanyuan, and other Eighth and Seventh Heavenly Layer cultivators from Huangquan Li Shushan, fully showcasing the strength and abundance of a major entity occupying the Netherworld.

It’s no exaggeration to say, they all but came for the purpose of exterminating the Tang Shushan Faction.

Fortunately, the Tang Imperial Court had prior channels to receive intelligence that the Witchcraft Sect’s "Ghost King" Zonghan was conspiring with the Netherworld, monitoring the sudden opening of a Netherworld Gate in the Southern Wilderness area.

Thus, the Great Tang Imperial Dynasty was able to promptly dispatch troops and gather superior cultivators from various regions, converging in Bashu to intercept the northbound cultivators of Li Shushan south of the Shu region.

The Clan Chief of the Jingxiang Fang Clan, Fang Jingsheng, and Master Renzhu from the Western Region Buddhist Sect, both Ninth Heavenly Layer cultivators, led the alliance alongside Xiao Xueting armed with the Mountain and River Sword.

The Tang Shushan Faction responded by sending all their top experts into action, except for Ye Dongming and the South Bright Separation Fire Cauldron who remained at the Summit, bringing along the Purple Azure Twin Swords and the North Abyss Divine Spear.

Nevertheless, at the start of the battle, they still faced difficulties.

The reason being none other than Ji Yao, the Sect Leader of Li Shushan, who has attained Ninefold Heavenly Perfection, proving exceedingly dominant.

His advantage, especially in speed and teleportation, is unparalleled in this battle.

A Great Vehicle High Immortal from the Daoist Artifact Refining Sect with the body of an Individual Immortal can only be surpassed in speed by another Ninefold Heavenly Perfection martial giant.

Thus, Ji Yao maintains full control over the battlefield with his maneuvers.

And like the Western White Emperor, Ji Yao, having cultivated Divine Clarity Qi, can even impair or deactivate other cultivators’ Magical Treasures.
