"Fellow Daoist White Lotus, what teachings did those two Founder of Thunderclap Temple give you?"
Even the Creation Daoist pressed for an answer.
The previously open and honest White Lotus now clasped his hands together, smiling but remaining silent. Everyone then realized that he had gained a great deal from those two powerful figures and was unwilling to share it with others.
The Creation Daoist wasn't offended at all; instead, he smiled and said, "This is also fortuitous opportunity for Fellow Daoist White Lotus. We are one step closer to the Primordial Purple Qi."
He appeared so magnanimous, but the expressions of the others did not.
Zheng Fa observed their reactions with keen insight.
Even the Golden-Winged Great Peng who came with White Lotus had a strange expression on his face, seemingly filled with envy and jealousy.
The Gu God and the White Bone Devil Ancestor showed deep apprehension, even more so than they had towards Zheng Fa. After all, Zheng Fa's strength was far inferior to White Lotus's. The Gu God could manipulate Zheng Fa through Gu worms, but he lacked the confidence to control White Lotus as well.
The only ones who might be even happier than the Creation Daoist were actually the Nascent Spirit Transformation of the Lu Clan.
For them, the best thing would naturally be to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi, but now these people have probably come to realize a bit of reality—their cultivation, comprehension, and fortuitous opportunity are not enough to surpass those of others, and the probability of obtaining the Primordial Purple Qi is very small.
Therefore, their second hope is that they cannot obtain the Primordial Purple Qi, otherwise the situation at Vast Sun Mountain will be beyond saving.
Everyone in the hall had different thoughts and couldn't agree on anything, so they dispersed after only a few words.
Zheng Fa, Gu God continued walking towards the courtyard under Brightmoon's guidance. Unexpectedly, halfway there, Gu God suddenly spoke up, "Fellow Daoist Shi has been here for quite some time, and I have yet to have a proper Dao Discussion with you, which is truly regrettable. I wonder if we will have the opportunity today?"
Turning his head, he saw that the White Bone Devil Ancestor was also nodding, seemingly eager to make him his friend.
Zheng Fa nodded slightly, and the three of them went together to the small courtyard where Zheng Fa was temporarily staying.
After the Brightmoon faded, Zheng Fa sat in the main room, looking at the two people in front of him, still somewhat puzzled. Why were these two in such a hurry to find him?
The Gu God and the White Bone Devil Ancestor exchanged a glance, and it was the Gu God who spoke:
"What are your thoughts on Fellow Daoist Shi's fortuitous opportunity with Fellow Daoist Bai White Lotus?"
Zheng Fa remained silent for a moment, then spoke his true feelings, "Envy."
"Fellow Daoist Shi, do you realize that this means we will absolutely not be able to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi, especially you?"
That's true. After so much time, this group of people has become quite familiar with High Antiquity languages, and Zheng Fa's unique advantage is no longer so useful.
However, his disadvantage in cultivation level was far too obvious.
Moreover, the White Lotus also had the Merit Golden Wheel and the assistance of two Sage.
Unsure of what the two were up to, Zheng Fa vaguely replied, "None of us are confident of obtaining the Primordial Purple Qi. It's a good thing that Fellow White Lotus has this fortuitous opportunity."
The Gu God and the White Bone Devil Ancestor sneered, seemingly seeing through his hypocrisy. "But I do not wish for him to obtain it."
Zheng Fa was increasingly puzzled.
"Those Lu Clan are useless..." Gu God looked at Zheng Fa and said, "Only I, Fellow Daoist Bai Gu, and Fellow Daoist Shi have any hope."
"So, fellow Daoist, you mean..."
" The Primordial Purple Qi —ideally, one of the three of us should obtain it."
Hearing this, Zheng Fa finally understood what the Gu God had come for.
They didn't want White Lotus to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi, but now that White Lotus has the Merit Golden Wheel and the help of the Founder, the two became anxious.
White Lotus is powerful, possesses many Law Treasure, has the Thunderclap Temple behind her, and is a direct disciple of Lu Mo, making her a formidable opponent.
Zheng Fa was different. In the eyes of the Gu God, the Primordial Purple Qi in Zheng Fa's hands was equivalent to it being in her hands.
As for the White Bone Devil Ancestor, he seemed to always obey the Gu God.
"There is still hope for the two Founder, your disciple..." Zheng Fa gave a bitter laugh, seemingly truly disheartened, "I only wish that the two Founder can successfully obtain the treasure."
"Otherwise, this Secret Realm doesn't place so much emphasis on cultivation level. So-called Merit, comprehension, and perseverance are not so closely related to cultivation level, and you've heard the entire first lecture," the Gu God retorted, "Giving you a much greater advantage than others... except for White Lotus."
Zheng Fa suddenly realized. "Those two Founder of Fellow Daoist White Lotus were actually teaching him the content of his first sermon?"
"My child didn't hear everything, but it's very possible," the Gu God nodded slightly, "Therefore, the content of the first sermon might be important."
No wonder these two were so eager to find me; they wanted to hear what the first sermon would be like.
Zheng Fa was hesitating when the Gu God said, "We two won't force you to tell us what we preached last time; we just want to help you."
Help?
"If you have any questions during your first sermon, we can answer them for you."
Zheng Fa was inexplicably shocked. This was the Devil Ancestor! Was he really being so kind?
Seemingly noticing his surprised expression, the Gu God chuckled and bluntly stated, " The Primordial Purple Qi is in your hands; we still have some hope."
... This reason is so real and convincing.
Zheng Fa also knew that this statement was not entirely true. To put it bluntly, there was only one reason why the Gu God cared so much about him—he had Gu in his body!
Having figured out the Gu God's intentions, Zheng Fa was truly tempted. He looked at the Gu God and the White Bone Devil Ancestor; although these two harbored ill intentions, the knowledge in their minds was innocent.
"During my first sermon, I did have some questions that I would like to ask Fellow Daoist White Bone."
"I?"
The White Bone Devil Ancestor pointed to himself, then, intrigued, asked, "Why me?"
"Because I've heard that Fellow Daoist White Bone Wu Shuang technique of transformation."
Before entering the Nine Luminaries Heaven, he had inquired about the methods of these three Devil Ancestor.
According to the Nine Nether Emperor, the Creation Daoist is unfathomable, while the White Bone Devil Ancestor is extremely adept at transformation, even giving Venerable Tianhe a headache.
"Change..." The White Bone Devil Ancestor's eyes flickered with fire, seemingly quite intrigued. "In your first sermon, you spoke of the method of change?"
"Yes."
Of course not. Zheng Fa asked this question because he was actually asking about something else— the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation!
In Zheng Fa's plan, the " Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation " was the last chapter of the Yellow Court Scripture before the Dao Fruit.
From Mahayana to Dao Fruit, according to Zheng Fa's current understanding, it is the process of merging the Divine Soul, body, and Law Treasure into one, thus forming Immortal Body.
The final layer of the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation is to simulate the Dao Fruit Descendants or even the Dao Fruit themselves. To put it bluntly, it is to experiment with the Immortal Body of various Dao Fruit in order to find the one that is most suitable for one's own condensation.
But this is difficult, for two reasons:
First, this method requires Zheng Fa to be familiar with the structure of various Dao Fruit. Second, simply knowing is not enough; Zheng Fa must also have the ability to reconstruct his physical body based on these structures.
But in front of the Nuwa, Zheng Fa inexplicably took a very important first step:
He acquired many High Antiquity divine body structures, which, although not those of later Dao Fruit cultivators, were far more powerful than those of ordinary Dao Fruit cultivators!
What Zheng Fa needs to solve now is actually another problem: how to shape his own physical body according to the corresponding structure.
Therefore, Zheng Fa hoped to gain some inspiration from the White Bone Devil Ancestor.
The White Bone Devil Ancestor hesitated slightly, but then heard the Gu God speak, "Your method Shi Nandang's ability to cultivate."
He nodded slightly, looked at Zheng Fa, and asked, "Is there anything you don't understand?"
After thinking for a moment, Zheng Fa simply poured out all his insights and doubts about creating the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha to the White Bone Devil Ancestor.
At first, the White Bone Devil Ancestor's expression was somewhat nonchalant, and he simply answered Zheng Fa's questions casually.
But as he spoke, the White Bone Devil Ancestor's expression gradually became serious, and finally, a look of longing and admiration appeared on his face.
In the end, he sighed and looked completely dejected.
"Fellow Daoist White Bone, what's wrong with you?"
The Gu God asked, puzzled.
"Fellow Daoist Shi, did you hear all these thoughts from the Purple Cloud Palace?"
"Yes."
Actually, no.
Most of the questions Zheng Fa asked the white bones came from the " Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation," and some were inspired by the Nuwa.
"Although it was only a few words, it was..." the White Bone Devil Ancestor shook his head and said, "This is an extremely sophisticated Spirit Transformation, but unfortunately you didn't seem to hear the whole thing."
It's not that I didn't hear it all; it's just that this thing wasn't complete to begin with.
The Gu God, listening from the side, was even more puzzled and asked, "Then why are you sighing?"
"From just a few words from Fellow Daoist Shi, I know that this Cultivation Method is far superior to mine. Even incomplete, it is so wondrous; if it were complete, it would naturally be ten or a hundred times Cultivation Method than mine!" The spiritual fire in the White Bone Devil Ancestor's eyes dimmed almost to the point of extinguishing. "If I could witness the full extent of this Cultivation Method, it would be of great benefit to me!"
Now the Gu God could understand the White Bone Devil Ancestor's heartache. Because of the language barrier, he missed out on a supreme and wonderful method. Which cultivator could not feel this pain?
"We can understand the language here now." Seeing that the White Bone Devil Ancestor was still depressed, the Gu God had no choice but to say, "Perhaps you will be able to hear this Cultivation Method during the second sermon?"
Upon hearing this White Bone Devil Ancestor seemed to find it reasonable, and perked up, actually asking Zheng Fa, "Is there anything else you don't understand? Feel free to ask!"
It was clear that he wanted to get more information about this Cultivation Method from Zheng Fa in order to prepare for his second hearing of the teachings.
Zheng Fa actually felt a little apologetic.
He didn't know what Daoist Hongjun would say the second time he heard him speak, but he certainly wouldn't mention his " Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Method".
The foundation of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Sha Method is actually the Yellow Court Scripture, specifically the Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method and the Nine Mountains Golden Core Method.
Zheng Fa and the White Bone Devil Ancestor, one asking and the other answering, both felt they had gained a great deal. When they left, the White Bone Devil Ancestor was still deep in thought, muttering to himself, as if he had indeed comprehended something.
Watching the two leave, Zheng Fa went to the study, plopped down in a chair, and finally couldn't suppress his joy any longer, bursting into unrestrained laughter.
The White Bone Devil Ancestor's methods are very suitable for Zheng Fa's current needs!
According to the White Bone Devil Ancestor, his Dharma Body is called " Ten Thousand Transforming Bones," and while its Cultivation Method are naturally profound and complex, the underlying principles are actually not difficult:
The so-called Ten Thousand Transforming Bones, as the name suggests, focuses on refining bones.
However, the White Bone Devil Ancestor's bone refining was not about making his bones tough or sharp. The path he chose was to refine the cells of others or other races into his own bones, using the vigorous life force within the bones to create a lifelike physical body!
When he was weak, his skeleton could only absorb the cells of mortals and cultivators with low cultivation levels.
But now, he can even absorb the cells of the Dao Fruit Descendants.
If Zheng Fa were to use an analogy, the White Bone Devil Ancestor is like someone who performs organ transplants, culturing other people's cells in his own bones, eventually condensing them into muscles, bones, and flesh.
To some extent, it wasn't a fake; it was genuine.
The method of Ten Thousand Transforming Bones forms is of immeasurable value to the Secret Method of the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation!
The greatest difficulty of the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation Cultivation Method lies in its complexity!
It has been like this from the beginning. In order to cultivate this Cultivation Method, Zheng Fa had to memorize many material structures. Later, as his Void-Piercing Spirit Eye improved, the requirements for this Cultivation Method became lower.
Later, although this Cultivation Method could simulate others and living beings, down to the cellular and even genetic level, and even transform one into an ordinary cultivator, the physical bodies of Dao Fruit and their Dao Fruit Descendants were extremely mysterious and complex. With Zheng Fa's Divine Sense and eyesight, it was simply impossible for him to completely transform his physical body into that of another Dao Fruit Descendants on a one-to-one basis.
This is the final and most difficult part of the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation!
Now that he had the White Bone Devil Ancestor's ideas on the Ten Thousand Transforming Bones, Zheng Fa looked at the < Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation > and the structures of the Precelestial Realm beings given by Nuwa, and countless inspirations surged in his mind.
While the Ten Thousand Transforming Bones is excellent, it has only one problem—it requires another person's cells or physical body and cannot transform itself.
However, the < Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation > is different. This method starts from various inorganic substances, gradually transitions to various molecules, and eventually to complex life.
In other words, Zheng Fa can create a cell himself first!
For Zheng Fa, the Ten Thousand Transforming Bones of the White Bone Devil Ancestor actually provided him with an extremely simplified solution:
Instead of striving for a complete transformation in one step, we utilize the cell's self-reproduction mechanism to start from a single cell and allow ourselves to "grow"!
An ordinary person's human body contains trillions of cells, Dao Fruit Descendants are even more complex. If we start from just one cell and only consider the scale, then the difficulty of this method is reduced countless times!
It could even be said that, nowadays, the < Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation > is a Cultivation Method most people can practice!
"Living things..." Zheng Fa murmured to himself, realizing he had misunderstood before, "Living and non-living things are inherently different..."
He had only seen the complexity of living organisms, but he never imagined that this complexity would create a simple replication mechanism.
Zheng Fa sat in his study and began to silently contemplate the matter.
The others at the Five Organs Temple either went down the mountain to accumulate merit and do good deeds, or went around looking for fortuitous opportunity; surprisingly, very few people stayed at the temple.
Because the White Lotus is currently enjoying great popularity, no one else pays much attention to Zheng Fa. Even the Gu God and the White Bone Devil Ancestor only think that he is comprehending the content of his first sermon.
Cultivating the Tao, oblivious to the passing of days and months, several more years have passed within the Nine Luminaries Heaven.
On this day, Zheng Fa left his small courtyard and flew down the mountain.
The conflict between the witch and demon races has intensified, and bloodshed is rampant outside the mountains. He did not want to get involved in trouble, and since he was quite familiar with the Eastern Sea, he simply flew eastward.
After flying for almost half a year, he finally saw the sea again. The Nuwa was no longer there. Zheng Fa found a deserted island, landed on it, and disappeared completely.
Immediately afterwards, a true blue dragon appeared on the island. This dragon had a pure and righteous aura, and its bloodline was clearly extremely pure.
This dragon was Zheng Fa. At this moment, he felt that he seemed to have a faint connection with the Eastern Sea, which he thought was the Innate Divine Ability that the Dragon Lord Shuyu had mentioned.
However, his spiritual power is currently insufficient, and the true dragon's cultivation level is only at the True Spirit Realm.
But this also signifies that the < Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend Transformation > has finally been completed!
