Ling Tianwei had no idea that because of the Qi Gathering Method he had altered, his Dao Embryo had absorbed a massive amount of condensed fission spiritual energy. Under its influence, it had become saturated with an aura of destruction, while the effects of those sacred healing medicines continuously restored it.
Thus, his Dao Embryo was currently caught between destruction and recovery.
Ling Tianwei could not be bothered with any of that. Without the slightest hesitation, he chose to cleanse it.
Guided by his qi, he had already decided to take the step in one go and embark upon the path of cultivation.
"Come! Let me see what kind of Dao Body my Dao Embryo will transform into."
Very soon, under his control, spiritual energy surged toward the Dao Embryo.
Boom, crack...
The instant Ling Tianwei's spiritual energy touched the Dao Embryo, the five-element phenomena that had originally appeared outside abruptly ceased, replaced by a violent upheaval of wind and clouds.
In an instant, broad daylight turned into night. Dark clouds rolled, lightning flashed, and thunder roared, as though heaven and earth themselves feared the birth of something at this very moment.
"Heaven's jealousy?"
Bai Muxu, who had been outside concealing the five-element phenomena, frowned when he saw this.
"It seems my disciple is no simple person!"
Bai Muxu could not help but sigh.
The scene of dark clouds blotting out the sun came quickly and vanished just as quickly.
Meanwhile, before the Sword Tablet on Tianmen Peak below, Ling Tianwei completed a cultivator's first step: drawing qi into his body and activating his Dao Embryo.
The Dao Embryo that radiated an aura of destruction was strangely obedient under Ling Tianwei's control. In an instant, it slowly broke apart, transforming into countless Dao principles that fused into every part of Ling Tianwei's body.
From this moment onward, the Dao Embryo gave birth to a Dao Body. This was also the primordial qi of a person's birth; through Foundation Establishment in a Hundred Days, one could condense a Dao foundation far more robust than that of ordinary people.
Ling Tianwei also received the sensation of the Dao Embryo merging into every part of his body. Amid those wisps of destructive aura was an immense vitality, like swallowing a mouthful of ice cream in the blazing heat of summer, sending his mind surging with exhilaration.
At the same time, Ling Tianwei failed to notice that strange patterns were spreading over his cracked skin, carrying an eerie and ominous air.
"What kind of Dao Body have I condensed?"
Just as Ling Tianwei wondered, a strand of information flowed into the depths of his consciousness from the unseen.
"Sacrificial Dao Undying Body."
Ling Tianwei murmured those words. As he sensed the faint destructive aura emanating from his body, the Five-Colored Spiritual Energy within him continued to grow at every moment due to the Fission Qi Gathering Method drawing qi into his body.
In that unseen manner, Ling Tianwei also learned the effects of the Sacrificial Dao Undying Body. For example, the Pure Yang Sacred Body born from a Pure Yang Spirit Root could imbue one's cultivated spells with a trace of pure yang power, suppressing evil and extinguishing calamities, like a resplendent blazing sun hanging high in the sky.
His Sacrificial Dao Undying Body, true to its name, possessed the power of indestructibility. An ordinary person's grievous injuries would take only one hour for him to recover from. Even on the verge of death, he could retain a thread of breath, survive, and recover afterward.
Beyond that, when the Sacrificial Dao Undying Body was used to unleash powerful, uncontrollable spells that stimulated one's own potential, it could double their might without damaging one's foundation.
On one side, it could restore him and preserve a thread of life. On the other, it doubled the power of every method that unleashed potential. It was practically essential for explosive bursts of strength.
"Ha ha ha ha! As expected of me. I could even nurture such a powerful Dao Body from my Dao Embryo. Sure enough, those narrow-minded fools could never see my talent."
Feeling the might of the Sacrificial Dao Undying Body, Ling Tianwei could not help but marvel.
I'm tired. World, hurry up and end already! Whatever other tricks you have, just show them!
At this moment, the system within Ling Tianwei's consciousness had personally witnessed this whole nonsensical string of operations and was completely dumbfounded.
If you think this book is good and do not want to lose it next time, please remember to add it to your bookshelf.
As a system, it understood this host inside and out.
He was, at heart, a genuine Pseudo-Spirit Root. Even if he messed around with fission and mass equations, the inability to control spiritual energy was simply not something a Pseudo-Spirit Root could withstand.
Yet because of his fake Heavenly Spirit Root, he had caught the eye of a powerful expert, obtained quite a few spiritual medicines and sacred medicines, and used pills to make up for that flaw.
With both sides added together, along with all sorts of coincidences, he had actually managed to cultivate it successfully.
Otherwise, relying on his talent, it would have taken at least several months for him to reach the Qi Refining Stage, let alone achieve Foundation Establishment in a Hundred Days.
Most terrifyingly, because of the fission spiritual energy, combined with the power of medicinal pills that continuously restored him, Li Tianwei had even nurtured the Sacrificial Dao Undying Body from his Dao Embryo.
And even as a system, it would find the Sacrificial Dao Undying Body difficult to obtain.
Unless it gained immense world authorization, it could only reward Li Tianwei with it through missions or other means. Yet such authorization would perhaps only become possible after Li Tianwei was capable of saving this world.
At this moment, the system even suspected that Li Tianwei possessed some supreme great fortune. Yet no matter how it scanned him, everything about Li Tianwei was utterly normal.
Having reached this point, the system was helpless. It was utterly convinced by this fellow Li Tianwei.
As for Li Tianwei, he had no idea what the system thought. He had long since blocked it off. As for how he knew about the blocking function, that was how novels always wrote it.
Feeling the power of the Sacrificial Dao Undying Body and sensing that he had now fully entered the path of cultivation and attained the Qi Refining realm—
"Next, it's time to begin Foundation Establishment in a Hundred Days."
Having successfully embarked upon the path of immortality, Li Tianwei had not forgotten the Foundation Establishment in a Hundred Days described in the Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation Method.
No matter what, in Li Tianwei's view, with the talent of his Heavenly Spirit Root, he absolutely had to complete Foundation Establishment in a Hundred Days. Otherwise, he would be a head shorter than others for no reason. How could he call himself a protagonist like that?
Thinking this, Li Tianwei no longer hesitated and continued using his Fission Qi Gathering Method.
Thus, five-element phenomena emerged above Tianmen Peak once more, this time far more intense than before.
The main reason was that Li Tianwei had successfully entered Qi Refining, and surging spiritual energy came flooding in.
Under Li Tianwei's manipulation, the spiritual energy collided with itself according to his control. One gave rise to two, two gave rise to three, three gave rise to four...
It was truly just as Li Tianwei believed: so long as it could touch, it was matter, and where there was matter, atoms existed.
Very soon, under Li Tianwei's control, spiritual energy was continuously drawn into his body.
Again and again, Li Tianwei circulated it according to the methods of the Heavenly Origin Dao Foundation Method.
"It seems you've taken in an extraordinary disciple!"
At this moment, amid the five-element phenomena in the air above Tianmen Peak, the elders of Lingxu Sacred Land concealed the heavenly phenomena for Li Tianwei and could not help but sigh.
Hearing that person say so, Bai Muxu merely nodded lightly.
"What a pity he was born in this era."
Bai Muxu's words carried a lingering air of sorrow and reflection.
After he spoke, the scene fell silent. Bai Muxu slowly lowered his eyes toward Tianmen Peak below.
Li Tianwei's aura was also steadily growing at this moment.
"Qi Refining Layer One, Qi Refining Layer Two..."
The surging spiritual energy grew incomparably violent, and all manner of phenomena continuously erupted throughout the skies above Tianmen Peak.
