Chapter 2063 Dao Ruins True Body
Such a simplified cost is actually an extremely terrifying figure, but it also indirectly proves the profoundness and power of these three techniques.
Fortunately, Chen Fei had made great gains when he reached the fifteenth level, possessing millions of Dao Crystals. Otherwise, he would have been left helpless in the face of these three cultivation techniques, or he would have had to slowly endure the time spent cultivating them.
"Simplification of the Dao Ruins Returning to Truth Body is in progress...Simplification successful...Dao Ruins Returning to Truth Body → Divine Palace Immortal!"
"Simplification of the Eternal Void Time Array Codex in progress...Simplification successful...Eternal Void Time Array Codex → Dao Array Heavenly Pivot Law!"
"The Immortal True Light Mirror is being simplified... Simplification successful... Immortal True Light Mirror → Record of Heavenly Causes and Universe Collapse!"
When Chen Fei saw the Record of Heavenly Causes and Universes, his gaze paused slightly. This was an inheritance from the Illusionary Transformation Sect. It was not a pure soul technique, but it required the soul as the main support to be used.
Chen Fei withdrew his gaze, his mind connecting with the entire Guixu Realm. The next moment, centered on the void where he was, the vast and pure sixteenth-order spiritual energy within the Guixu Realm began to converge wildly, forming a huge, almost tangible vortex of spiritual energy that completely enveloped his figure.
Chen Fei closed his eyes and began to circulate the Divine Palace Undying.
"boom!"
The moment the cultivation technique began to operate, it was as if countless thunderclaps exploded in Chen Fei's sea of consciousness.
A vast amount of insights into the Daoist Return to Truth Body, profound understandings, and even the mysterious realm of using all the Daos as fuel to forge oneself, emerged like a flood bursting its banks.
Chen Fei cleared his mind of all distractions and focused intently on absorbing and digesting these massive insights. At the same time, his aura began to undergo some peculiar changes.
His originally calm aura gradually gained a metallic sharpness and heaviness, and beneath his skin, there was a faint dark golden luster flowing, as if countless tiny Dao patterns were forming and intertwining under his skin.
The sound of his heartbeat became deeper and deeper, like a giant hammer striking divine iron. The surrounding void rippled with visible fine lines due to the subtle fluctuations in his blood and qi...
This is a sign that the Dao Ruins Returning to Truth Body is beginning to operate, starting to temper and refine the Qi and blood and rules within his body, transforming him towards becoming a Dao artifact.
Just as Chen Fei was cultivating the Dao Ruins Returning to Truth Body with all his might deep within the Guixu Realm, outside the Danchen Sect, at the entrance to the Kunyuan Abyss, shrouded in eternal shadows and demonic energy, the winds were raging and powerful figures were gathering.
"Rumble..."
Above the sky, the clouds were stirred and torn apart by countless powerful auras. One after another, enormous celestial ships, as large as mountains and with fluttering banners, hovered in the vast airspace outside the entrance to Kunyuan, blotting out the sun.
Some of these celestial vessels are entirely crimson, burning with the inextinguishable flames of the sun, which is the symbol of the Blazing Sun Sect, one of the 108 sects of the Blazing Sun Immortal Dynasty.
Some are crystal clear and icy blue, radiating an extreme cold that freezes the soul; they belong to the Ice Soul Divine Palace.
Some of them gleam with golden light and are carved with majestic mythical beast totems; they are the temporary palaces of the Vajra Subduing Demon Temple…
Apart from the Dan Chen Sect's own celestial vessel hovering in the sky, all 108 superior sects under the Yan Yang Immortal Dynasty have dispatched their experts and celestial vessels to gather here.
Moreover, there were far more than just these 108 cases present.
Surrounding these magnificent large-scale celestial ships are other flying boats and warships from various sects, though smaller in scale.
Although these sects are not as strong as the 108 sects as a whole, they still have powerful figures in charge or possess unique skills.
The 108 sects present did not intervene to drive away these smaller forces. This was because, at this moment, the one truly dominating this airspace and wielding immense power was not any single sect.
At the very front of all the celestial ships, directly above the entrance to Kunyuan, two groups of people were suspended in the air.
One group, small in number, only a few dozen people, but each of them wore the same dark red and gold armor, with a burning sun emblem branded on their chest.
They stood quietly atop a shuttle-shaped airship made entirely of dark gold metal. The leader was a middle-aged man with a stern face and eyes as piercing as the sun.
They exuded a majestic yet chilling aura, representing supreme will and order.
This is the inspector of the Yanyang Immortal Dynasty and his personal guards.
Beside this shuttle-shaped flying boat were hundreds of soldiers dressed in standard purple-gold thunder-patterned armor and wielding standard thunder halberds, forming a neat military formation and hovering in the air.
They did not ride any flying magical artifacts, but stood quietly in the void, seemingly merging with the earth beneath their feet and the sky above their heads.
A concentrated, destructive aura of thunderous pressure emanated from the military formation, filling the surrounding air with tiny sparks of electricity.
Above the military formation, a large purple banner embroidered with the ancient seal script character for "thunder" fluttered in the wind.
These are the garrison troops of Leiguang City, an elite fighting force directly under the Yanyang Immortal Dynasty, responsible for guarding this region.
The Inspector General represents the will of the Celestial Dynasty, and the Imperial Guards represent the military strength of the Celestial Dynasty. Their existence is the fundamental reason why all sects present, including the 108 sects, must abide by the order.
At this moment, the vast airspace has become chaotic due to the gathering of so many powerful figures and forces.
Various powerful Dao domain auras unintentionally emanated and collided, stirring up invisible ripples and storms in the void. Those with slightly weaker cultivation levels would feel their Yuan energy stagnate and their minds tremble simply by approaching this area.
All eyes were fixed on the bottomless entrance to the Kun Abyss below, where demonic energy surged, waiting for something. A sense of oppressive tension, like the calm before the storm, enveloped the surrounding area.
On the shuttle-shaped patrol vessel representing the will of the Yanyang Immortal Dynasty, the leading patrol officer's gaze, like two miniature blazing suns, quietly swept over the various forces gathered ahead.
Beside him, a middle-aged scholar dressed as a deputy envoy whispered, "Sir, the number of sects gathered this time is increasing. All 108 sects have come, and there are countless other small and medium-sized sects... Should we step in and regulate them?"
Upon hearing this, the inspector's expression remained unchanged. He simply shook his head slightly, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority: "No need."
His gaze fell upon the giant celestial vessel belonging to the Dan Chen Sect below, and he said slowly, “Thunder Light City is adjacent to the Dan Chen Sect, and the Dan Chen Sect is responsible for guarding this Xu Ning Abyss. According to the old practice of the Immortal Dynasty, once the Dan Chen Sect is not strong enough to deal with the anomalies in the abyss on its own, Thunder Light City will send troops to support it.”
"With such a dramatic change occurring in Kunyuan, Danchen Sect was able to report it immediately, rather than concealing it or acting rashly on its own. This shows that they have fulfilled their duty." His words carried a hint of approval.
"As for the other sects that have come after hearing the news, we can simply observe them." The inspector's gaze swept over the various celestial ships and pavilions around him, and he said calmly.
The deputy envoy was somewhat puzzled: "My lord, with so many external sects gathered here, if a conflict were to break out within Kunyuan, it could cause chaos..."
"It won't be chaotic!"
The inspector interrupted him, his gaze becoming profound. "Within the Immortal Dynasty, the Immortal Dynasty is the strongest, that's fundamental. But the Immortal Dynasty's means of checks and balances have never come at the cost of weakening other sects."
His voice was not loud, but it seemed to contain some profound truth: "True checks and balances are achieved by constantly strengthening one's own strength and always adhering to the principle that only by being strong can one endure."
"If the goal is to suppress, divide, and weaken sects within the territory in the name of checks and balances, that would be self-destructive!"
Upon hearing this, the deputy envoy felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had realized something.
The inspector continued, his gaze seemingly piercing through the endless void, looking towards an even more vast world: "You must understand that for the entire Primordial Continent, it is not just my Yanyang Immortal Dynasty."
"Outside, there are many other immortal dynasties, as well as various powerful forces, ancient races, and even forbidden areas that do not belong to any immortal dynasty."
The inspector's voice carried a hint of solemnity, "Everyone here is vying for resources and destiny on this primordial continent."
"If you only focus on weakening the strength of the sects within your own territory, you will only cause the overall strength of the entire Yanyang Immortal Dynasty to continue to weaken."
The inspector's gaze sharpened like a knife. "Once your strength weakens to a certain extent, it will no longer be an internal problem. You will face the covetous demonic cultivators, the annexation ambitions of other immortal dynasties in the surrounding area, and those ancient alien races that see us as prey. That is the real catastrophe."
The Yan Yang Immortal Dynasty's attitude towards sects within its borders has always been primarily one of support and guidance, while also balancing competition and cooperation.
The Immortal Dynasty encourages sects to grow and prosper, as long as they do not cross the bottom line or shake the foundation of the Immortal Dynasty. This is because a stronger sect leads to a stronger overall Immortal Dynasty.
The deputy envoy, sweating profusely, nodded repeatedly: "Your Excellency's teachings are correct; I was short-sighted."
"As for the opportunities within Kunlun Mountain..."
The inspector looked down into the abyss where demonic energy surged, "Let's see who has the best skills!"
At this moment, all the forces gathered outside Kunyuan, whether they were the 108 sects, other small and medium-sized sects, or the inspectors and soldiers of Leiguang City representing the Immortal Dynasty, were all waiting quietly.
Their gazes, whether through divine sense or with the aid of special magical artifacts and formations, were fixed on the core location inside Kunyuan, the ninth level of the abyss, which had triggered this dramatic change.
The space there remains in a highly unstable state.
The demonic energy intertwined with an even more ancient and vast power, filled with an aura of holiness and decay, forming a massive, ever-writhing chaotic vortex.
At the center of the vortex, the faint outline of a ruined palace, a broken pillar of heaven, and some indescribable, enormous shadow could be seen...
Everyone knows that it is a remnant of the ancient Heavenly Court that was shattered and scattered into the void.
This time, whether due to the turbulence of the void or some other unknown reason, this fragment of the ruins, which had been dormant for countless millennia, was actually swept up by the void turbulence and crashed into the spatial barrier of the ninth level of Kunyuan.
The terrifying impact and the immense power remaining in the ruins triggered the chaos that had engulfed Kunyuan, as well as the terrifying roar that pierced through all obstacles and sent chills down one's spine.
Today, the aftershocks of the impact have gradually subsided, but the process of the ruins merging with Kunlun continues.
Once the chaotic vortex stabilizes and forms a relatively stable passage or entrance, it means that the opportunity to enter the ancient celestial court ruins has appeared.
At that time, all the forces present will undoubtedly enter without hesitation.
After all, it might contain the supreme secrets of the ancient Heavenly Court, divine weapons, rare treasures, and... the truth about the fall of that glorious era.
No one wants to miss such an opportunity.
Danchen Sect, Cuiping Peak, deep within the void of the Guixu Realm.
It's unclear how much time passed—perhaps several days, or perhaps more than ten. The enormous vortex of spiritual energy that enveloped Chen Fei suddenly paused, then, like a whale sucking in water, it was completely swallowed up by Chen Fei's body.
The next moment, Chen Fei's eyelids, which had been tightly closed for who knows how long, trembled slightly.
Then, his eyes slowly opened.
"laugh!"
In an instant, countless tiny, dark golden streaks of light flashed from the depths of his eyes, as if countless fragments of Dao principles were being created and destroyed in his pupils.
These flowing lights possess a metallic texture and sharpness, yet also contain an indescribable weight and grandeur.
Chen Fei stood up. His movements seemed no different from before, but every subtle movement created an imperceptible sense of stagnation in the surrounding void, as if it were being pressed down by an invisible weight.
Chen Fei slightly activated the Dao Ruins Return to Truth Body.
"Om..."
A terrifying power, different from before, seemingly containing the ability to crush all obstacles, flowed smoothly and rapidly within Chen Fei's body.
This power is no longer simply the power of blood and qi, but rather a fusion of his understanding of the Dao of Power and the special energy of the Dao artifact attribute unique to the Dao Ruins Returning to Truth Body.
The core of cultivation in the Tai Cang Realm is cultivating the Dao Domain.
As a top-tier physical inheritance, the Dao Ruins Returning to Truth Body is no exception. However, its method of cultivating the Dao Domain is completely different from conventional cultivation methods.
According to the description of the Dao Xu Gui Zhen Ti scripture, the cultivation of this technique can be roughly divided into four stages, corresponding to the initial, middle, late, and peak periods of the Tai Cang Realm.
In the early stages of the Tai Cang Realm, the Dao Domain cultivated by the Dao Ruins Returning to Truth Body, a top-tier inheritance, may not be the largest in terms of range, but its strength and condensation are already far superior to other ordinary cultivation techniques.
At this stage, the cultivator needs to condense a Dao Seed, representing the essence of their own Dao, at the very core of their body. This Dao Seed will be the foundation for all future changes.
Upon reaching the mid-stage of the Tai Cang Realm, the Dao Domain of the Dao Ruins Returning to Truth Body no longer seeks to expand its range, but instead begins to continuously increase its thickness and strength. It's like forging iron, constantly folding and hammering to remove impurities, making the Dao Domain itself more dense and solid.
However, in the later stages of the Tai Cang Realm, a peculiar change will occur: the Dao Domain will shrink by half compared to before.
This is not a regression, but rather an extreme compression and condensation. In this process, the strength and density of the Dao Domain will begin to increase dramatically, resulting in a qualitative leap.
Finally, upon reaching the peak of the Tai Cang Realm, the Dao Domain will be completely integrated into the body, perfectly combining with the physical body, blood and qi, and even every cell, and will no longer be exposed to the outside.
At that time, the cultivator's body itself was the strongest Dao Domain, the most solid fortress, and the sharpest weapon. This was truly impervious to all harm; this was the true form of the Dao Void.
These are the normal, gradual cultivation processes of the Dao Xu Gui Zhen Ti (Returning to the True Body of Dao Ruins).
At this moment, with the help of the panel, Chen Fei had already cultivated this technique to the theoretically perfect level.
In other words, that crucial Dao Seed had already been condensed and deeply planted within Chen Fei's body. It contained a Dao Seed of Power unique to Chen Fei, based on the Divine Palace Immortal Scripture and incorporating the profound mysteries of the Dao Ruins Returning to Truth Body.
Of course, since Chen Fei's current realm is only at the early stage of the Tai Cang Realm and his soul strength is also limited, this Dao Seed and the Dao Domain connected to it are unlikely to undergo a phased transformation.
However, thanks to his understanding and control of the techniques at the Great Perfection Realm, Chen Fei was already able to barely operate the core essence of the fourth stage of the Dao Ruins Return to Truth Body.
That is, during battle, one forcibly and temporarily merges one's own Dao Domain into the body, forming a battle form similar to the Dao Ruins True Body.
However, due to the limited strength of the soul, it is impossible to maintain this high-load, high-precision power operation mode for a long time. Therefore, this battle form can only last for about ten breaths.
A dozen or so breaths may seem short, but for high-level cultivators, it is enough to determine life or death in a battle.
As Chen Fei sensed the immense power of the shattered star within his body, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
Without a doubt, with the top-tier inheritance of the Dao Ruins Returning to Truth Body, coupled with the control of the Great Perfection Realm and that brief but terrifying Dao Ruins True Body form, Chen Fei's combat ability has surpassed that of ordinary early-stage Tai Cang Realm cultivators.
As for whether he could compete with someone in the mid-stage of the Tai Cang Realm, Chen Fei couldn't answer that at the moment.
So far, Chen Fei has not actually fought a cultivator at the Tai Cang Realm, and the power he had before, which was close to the Tai Cang Realm, was far inferior to the power of his current Dao Xu Gui Zhen Body.
The differences between each minor realm in the Tai Cang Realm are significant. The middle stage often has a comprehensive suppression over the early stage in terms of Dao Domain strength, mastery of rules, and power of supernatural abilities.
Even if Chen Fei possesses the Daoist Return to Truth Body, whether he can overcome this gap remains to be seen.
"Once I finish cultivating the Undying True Light Mirror, the duration of the Dao Ruins True Body might be extended even further." A thought flashed through Chen Fei's mind.
The Immortal True Light Mirror is a secret technique for the soul. Once mastered, it can greatly enhance the strength and stability of the soul.
Maintaining the Dao Void True Body in such a high-intensity state places extremely high demands on the divine soul. If the divine soul is stronger and more stable, it can naturally sustain itself for a longer period of time.
With this in mind, Chen Fei no longer hesitated. He sat down cross-legged again, closed his eyes, and sank his mind into his sea of consciousness, beginning to circulate the Heavenly Causes and Universe Record.
"boom!"
The moment the cultivation technique began to operate, an indescribable burst of brilliant light erupted from Chen Fei's sea of consciousness.
The light was not dazzling, but rather a warm and clear spiritual radiance that seemed to illuminate all darkness and cleanse all filth.
Amidst the radiance, countless insights into cultivation, visualization methods, and secret techniques for refining the soul related to the Immortal True Light Mirror surged forth like a flood bursting its banks.
At the same time, ripples of pale golden light, resembling water waves, spread out from Chen Fei.
