Immortal Qi
"It really is possible to cultivate Immortal Qi!!"
"That's right. This is an Ancient Immortal path close to the Immortal Domain, and I'm using something like the North Pole Immortal Light! Besides, I previously used Immortal Ancient Method method to build my foundation, so it's normal that I can cultivate Immortal Qi!!"
Zhou Tong looked at the wisp of Immortal Qi beside him and a smile appeared on his face.
Having chosen one's own path and taken that step, one can only cultivate a strand of Immortal Qi, which is the manifestation of one's own Dao Fruit.
As the saying goes, the Tao gives birth to One!
"It's shrouded in Immortal Qi, but it's not far from fully manifesting. Keep pushing!"
Zhou Tong went into seclusion again to comprehend his own path, refine his Hegemon Body Divine Form, and use the Great Dao of Sages and the karma of all living beings as fire to burn away his true self, so that he Transcendence and be above.
Karma Fire and Dao Fire appeared once again, and the North Pole Immortal Light was poured into the cauldron one after another for refining.
Zhou Tong's gradually merging Divine Form and dharma body were like a black hole, devouring the matter belonging to the Immortal Domain within the North Pole Immortal Light. At least ten beams of North Pole Immortal Light were swallowed up every day.
After consuming another three hundred rays of North Pole Immortal Light, the Immortal Qi around his body became much denser and thicker, as if it had truly materialized.
After a thousand strands of Immortal Qi were fused in, a Immortal Qi finally overflowed, pure white and clear. It was the fruit of the Great Dao, the manifestation of the Dao giving birth to one, truly manifested, and surrounded Zhou Tong!
"It's finally done! The first wisp of Immortal Qi has manifested!!"
Zhou Tong looked at the celestial Immortal Qi from his body and was overjoyed.
However, the next moment, Zhou Tong's face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.
The Immortal Qi that had been painstakingly cultivated... had been severed.
Originally wrapped around his body, it has now split into many strands, lost its connection, and drifted around him. Although it remains mysterious, it has detached itself from him.
"Buzz!"
Just then, Zhou Tong's three-in-one Divine Form began to glow, drawing out the scattered Immortal Qi.
Finally, all the pure white mist-like Immortal Qi condensed together with the three-in-one Divine Form, and the two merged and disappeared outside.
Clearly, the three-in-one Divine Form was even more radiant. It didn't resemble a divine form, but rather a creature about to come to life, like a deity, enveloped in a mysterious aura.
"As expected... Primal Qi!!" Zhou Tong sighed inwardly.
Primal Qi is not something that anyone cultivating Immortal Qi can see. Only those on the most extraordinary paths can witness Primal Qi appearance. If the path is even slightly weak, Primal Qi will not manifest.
"It seems... my path is quite powerful! The Battle Immortal Path, where Divine Form are unified, is also an unparalleled path!!"
Zhou Tong stood up and looked at the three-in-one Divine Form before him.
This is a monster.
It has the body of True Dragon, but its forepaws are a pair of Immortal Phoenix claws, and it has a pair of crimson Immortal Phoenix Wings on its back; its mane is long and flat, and it is made up of delicate sword leaves.
It possesses the characteristics of True Dragon, Immortal Phoenix, Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.
"It's not perfect yet!" Zhou Tong pondered for a moment, thinking to himself.
This Unique Divine Form appears to be perfectly integrated, but in reality, it has not yet reached the state of complete control.
This Unique Divine Form is based on True Dragon, with the power of the Immortal Phoenix and the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass added to it. If one reaches the realm of complete control, then one can use either the Immortal Phoenix or the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass as the base, adding the power of the other two Ten Fiends.
"Dao Fire, Karma Fire, continue the tempering!"
Zhou Tong did not stop, and continued to ignite the Dao Fire and the Karma Fire.
The heavens and earth roared, the Dao Sound boomed, and the earth shook. One after another, the North Pole Immortal Light melted into Zhou Tong's Divine Form.
"Roar!"
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Tong let out a long roar, and an incomparably domineering aura emanated from him. At the same time, a Immortal Qi of immortal energy appeared, coiling around his body like True Dragon, making him appear extraordinary and peerless. He had succeeded!
"The first Immortal Qi has truly appeared; the Dao's creation begins from this point!!"
Zhou Tong's eyes flashed like cold lightning. With a sway, he transformed into a True Dragon, then into a Nine-Leaf Sword Grass, and finally into a Immortal Phoenix.
All these changes were very natural, without the use of the Hegemon Body talent, but rather something within a Divine Form.
Then, Zhou Tong's form continued to shift, freely combining various shapes of the Immortal Phoenix, the True Dragon, and the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass. One moment he had a dragon's body, a phoenix's head, and sword-like leaves and mane; the next, a grass body with dragon and phoenix leaves; then a phoenix's body, a dragon's head, and sword-like leaves and feathers...
Everything is subject to change!
"The True Dragon Divine Form, the Immortal Phoenix Divine Form, and the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass Divine Form have been completely unified. Now, I am qualified to activate the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form! I just need to study the True Dragon Method, the Immortal Phoenix Method, and the Grass Character Sword Art!" Zhou Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Tong has been busy searching for the Ten Evils Treasure Art all along, in order to promote the evolution of the Hegemon Body.
Zhou Tong himself has chosen the path of transforming the Ten Fiends into Divine Form, a path completely different from the orthodox Hegemon Body. Therefore, Zhou Tong absolutely cannot allow his physique to evolve freely, otherwise he will not be able to be sure what kind of Divine Form he will give birth to next.
Moreover, ever since he forcibly cultivated the Kirin Divine Form at the cost of damaging his own essence, and obtained the True Dragon Divine Form by refining the Heavenly Dragon Source with the "Indestructible Heavenly Merit" in the Dragon Transformation Realm Secret Realm, his speed of evolving his Hegemon Body has surpassed that of a normal Hegemon Body, and the speed at which he can give birth to Divine Form has also surpassed that of a normal Hegemon Body.
This makes it even more necessary for Zhou Tong to find more of the Ten Evils Treasure Art as soon as possible, just in case.
Now that Zhou Tong possesses seven of the Ten Evils Treasure Art, there's no need to rush. Therefore, he has time to savor the Ten Evils Treasure Art, delve deeper into their essence, comprehend their fundamental principles, and begin to understand the mysteries of the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form. He might even be able to completely transform them into a form suitable for the Sky Shrouding Method.
"The Hegemon Body Ancestral Form... This is another path to the Hegemon Body besides the Transformation into Battle Immortal!" Zhou Tong felt a sense of anticipation.
To transform into Battle Immortal, one must Divine Form Separation of the Hegemon Body and reassemble it into Battle Immortal in the Void the Great. This is a necessary step for the Hegemon Body Lineage to transform into Battle Immortal.
However, besides the Battle Immortal, there is another path for the Hegemon Body Lineage, which is the Ancestral Body!
Instead of separating the Divine Form from the physical form, the profound meaning of the Divine Form is displayed on the body, and the physical body is reconstructed, transforming it into an alternative life form.
Of course, there is a prerequisite for comprehending the Hegemon Body Ancestral Form: one must first understand the rules and mysteries of the corresponding Divine Form. Only by comprehending the mysteries of the True Dragon Method can one manifest the Ancestral Body of the Dragon; only by comprehending the mysteries of the Immortal Phoenix can one manifest the Ancestral Body of the Immortal Phoenix.
"But before that, there's finally a Immortal Qi. I Dao Self Hegemonic Bell can be revived!" Zhou Tong thought to himself and immediately focused his attention on his Hegemonic Bell.
This is a large, purple bell, glistening and shimmering, its entire body enveloped in a purple glow, emanating a misty, ethereal aura. Countless mysterious patterns adorn its surface: the sun, moon, Star Scripture; mountains and rivers; plants and trees; flowers, birds, insects, fish; mythical creatures and celestial beings...
Every line seemed to come alive, the entire bell was flawless and radiant, with an overwhelming divine light. The divine marks that the Divine Mark Purple Gold itself carried gradually overlapped with those lines, transforming into scriptures.
"He's really started communicating with spirits!" A hint of joy appeared in Zhou Tong's eyes.
After paying such a high price, his Hegemonic Bell is finally coming back to life!
From now on, his Hegemonic Bell will embark on the path of the Undying Heavenly Blade and the Wu Shi Bell, truly stepping onto the path of becoming a supreme Immortal Artifact!
"It will take some more time to refine the Divine Mark Purple Gold before it can truly awaken the Immortal Gold Profound Meaning... No, one strand of Immortal Qi might be too slow; it will need a second and a third strand of Immortal Qi!!"
"If I only merge the Kirin Divine Form and Kunpeng Divine Form, I probably still won't be able to cultivate a second Immortal Qi. I need to cultivate a sixth Divine Form!"
"At my current level, I still have three more opportunities to use the Divine Emperor Scripture in conjunction with the Reincarnation Mirror for reincarnation! But I only have one spot left for my Hegemon Body Talent Divine Form," Zhou Tong said quietly.
The Divine Form of the Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body will continuously manifest as one's cultivation progresses. At each of the nine realms— the Four Extremities Realm, the Dragon Transformation Realm, Immortal One, Immortal Second Layer, Immortal Three Immortal Four, Immortal Four, Immortal Five, Immortal Six, and Quasi-Emperor— one should be able to awaken a Divine Form.
Zhou Tong had already cultivated the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass Divine Form before reaching the Four Extremities Realm, thus allowing his Divine Form to advance to a higher realm than the normal Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body. Later, relying on the power of the Reincarnation Mirror, he further perfected the Kunpeng Divine Form ahead of schedule, thus surpassing the normal Hegemon Body by another realm.
These two combined mean that even though he is only at the Paragon of the Second Layer of Immortal Platform, he already possesses six Divine Form, which is two more than the normal Azure Heaven Hegemonic Body.
"Let's seize this opportunity to build up our foundation!"
"I'll leave this next cycle of reincarnation to... the Thunder Emperor!" Zhou Tong thought to himself.
The Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique was the first of the Ten Evils Treasure Art he obtained. Although the Thunder Emperor Method's attack method was not the close combat style he preferred, his achievements in the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique were by no means low.
It was only because Zhou Tong preferred close combat that he did not specifically transform the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique into Divine Form.
This time, it's not just a matter of Divine Form; we also have to face the great calamity of Dao Severing. Therefore, we must make thorough preparations, and the Thunder Emperor Treasure Technique needs further research.
