In the early morning, you and Jing Hui headed to the External Affairs Hall to submit your mission. Afterward, you went to the Arhat Hall to view the Dao Stele.

Upon seeing Jing Hui, Elder Kong Bei immediately expressed his desire to take Jing Hui as a disciple.

Hearing that Elder Kong Bei wanted to take him as a disciple, Jing Hui, after snapping back to reality, didn't hesitate and immediately bowed to Elder Kong Bei.

After accepting Jing Hui, Elder Kong Bei took you to where the Dao Stele was located.

Arriving before the Dao Stele, you asked a question you already knew the answer to, whether Elder Kong Bei would provide protection. After receiving an affirmative answer.

You said you didn't dare waste Elder Kong Bei's time, and it would be better to have a senior disciple from the Warrior Monk Institute protect you instead.

Elder Kong Bei seemed tempted but did not agree.

You then mentioned that Jing Hui had encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation and required guidance from a master.

After much deliberation, Elder Kong Bei agreed to your request. Before leaving, he repeatedly cautioned you not to comprehend the Dao Stele until the senior disciple from the Warrior Monk Institute arrived.

You gave your assurance. After Elder Kong Bei left, you eagerly began to comprehend the Dao Stele, which was carved with an Immortal Phoenix.

"Screech!"

The Five-Colored Immortal Phoenix soared into the sky from the Five-Colored Immortal Fire, streaking across the heavens, then transforming into a sky full of immortal fire.

Accompanied by continuous cries.

Jiang Chuan's mind seemed to merge with the Five-Colored Immortal Phoenix.

His body gradually dissolved, as if transforming into streaks of Five-Colored Immortal Fire, and then into a strand of profound and deep Great Dao Rhyme.

Your comprehension of the Bodhi Temple's Dao Stele's Great Dao caused your mind to fall into a Dao realm, and you died through Dao transformation.

This romantic simulation failed.

The Immortal Phoenix and the sky full of Five-Colored Immortal Fire disappeared from Jiang Chuan's sight.

The blazing Green Mountain Furnace reappeared in Jiang Chuan's vision.

Recalling the process of his mind merging with the Great Dao and undergoing Dao transformation just moments ago.

Jiang Chuan showed a look of emotion: "Is this true Dao transformation? If I go through this a few more times, I should be able to cultivate the 'One Qi Dao Sword' to perfection and fully master the power of Dao transformation!"

Using Jing Hui as an excuse to send Elder Kong Bei away, you eagerly began to comprehend the Dao Stele carved with the Immortal Phoenix.

Moments later, your mind merged with the Five-Colored Immortal Fire, then dissipated together, transforming into Dao Rhyme and dying.

This romantic simulation failed.

The Dao Stele carved with the Immortal Phoenix contains the Great Dao of fire and the Path of Life and Death Nirvana.

You had a faint feeling that if you could comprehend the Path of Life and Death Nirvana, it would be of great benefit to your body's reconstruction.

After sending Elder Kong Bei away, you eagerly began to comprehend the Immortal Phoenix Dao Stele.

Moments later, your mind became extinguished along with the Five-Colored Immortal Fire, undergoing Dao transformation.

This romantic simulation failed.

"Another failure!"

After failing seven consecutive times, Jiang Chuan showed no anger on his face; instead, a look of joy appeared.

"Although I haven't fully comprehended the power of Dao transformation, I have gained a preliminary understanding of the Path of Life and Death Nirvana through my seven Dao transformations."

Looking at the golden pill water in the Green Mountain Furnace, Jiang Chuan slowly stood up, his eyes full of anticipation.

"I hope the Path of Life and Death Nirvana I comprehend can further enhance the body I reconstruct."

While speaking to himself, Jiang Chuan opened the furnace lid, took off his bright yellow monk robe, and leaped into the Green Mountain Furnace.

Splash!

The moment Jiang Chuan entered the water, his entire being seemed to turn into a black hole.

The golden pill water, formed by the Heaven-grade Supreme Pill, the Bone Remolding Pill, continuously seeped into Jiang Chuan's body.

Pain!

So much pain!

Intense pain spread throughout Jiang Chuan's entire body.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan felt as if thousands of maggots were drilling into his body.

"How did that woman, Que Jinling, endure this?!"

Jiang Chuan gritted his teeth and persevered, forcing himself to stay conscious and circulating the Lihuo Nirvana Method from the Lihuo Dao Scripture.

As if an invisible flame descended, Jiang Chuan felt every inch of his skin, every bit of his flesh, being scorched.

As the Lihuo Nirvana Method circulated, the Dao Stele of the Warrior Monk Institute reappeared in Jiang Chuan's mind.

The Five-Colored Immortal Phoenix spread its wings and soared out of the Dao Stele.

As the Immortal Phoenix flapped its wings, thousands of streaks of five-colored auspicious colors cascaded down.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Jiang Chuan's mind was immersed in the Dao realm.

Thumb-sized golden Great Dao runes emerged from Jiang Chuan's flesh and blood, as if forged from divine gold, shining brilliantly.

As time passed, more and more Great Dao runes appeared within Jiang Chuan's body.

Finally, they broke free from Jiang Chuan's body and imprinted themselves on its surface.

The dense runes were like a giant eggshell, or a cluster of blazing golden divine flames, enveloping Jiang Chuan's body.

If Elder Kong Bei were here, he would surely be astonished!

This was because the scene before him was almost identical to the description of a divine beast Phoenix undergoing Nirvana in ancient texts!

Reshaping the body in this way could stimulate the body's greatest potential, truly achieving a rebirth!

This was something many cultivators in the Fifth and Sixth Realms, and even the Seventh Realm, yearned for their entire lives, yet Jiang Chuan, a cultivator in the Third Realm, had achieved it!

Boom!

Like a thunderclap, or a great river bursting its banks.

A streak of crimson light, like a divine sword unsheathed, split open the eggshell formed by the runes.

Instantly, the golden runes melted away like ice and snow, revealing Jiang Chuan's body.

Vast amounts of blood qi surged from Jiang Chuan's body, causing the Green Mountain Furnace to shake uncontrollably.

Every inch of Jiang Chuan's flesh and blood seemed to transform into a ball of crimson light, incredibly radiant.

He looked like an ancient War God who had traversed through space and time, his tall and sturdy physique exuding a sense of divinity.

Feeling the immense power within his body, Jiang Chuan's face was filled with a smile.

"The Bone Remolding Pill truly lives up to its name as a Heaven-grade Supreme Pill. I feel like my strength has doubled!"

When Jiang Chuan had first cultivated the Supreme Yang Limitless Body to the early stage of the Supreme Yang Realm, his strength had already reached thirty thousand jin.

By using the Bone Remolding Pill to reshape his body, Jiang Chuan refined the pill qi bestowed by Ancestor Ziyun and the spiritual energy infused by Baoshan, breaking through to the fourth layer of the Third Realm.

Furthermore, his Supreme Yang Limitless Body had also advanced, and he was only one step away from breaking through to the mid-stage of the Supreme Yang Realm, where his physical body would rival a Mid-grade Treasure Artifact.

It was important to note that the strength of an ordinary cultivator at the peak of the Third Realm was also only about thirty thousand jin!

Jiang Chuan, at just the fourth layer of the Third Realm, now possessed strength comparable to two peak Third Realm cultivators!

If this were to spread, it would cause a sensation throughout the entire Warrior Monk Institute!

"Ordinary Fourth Realm cultivators should not be my match. I wonder if I can defeat a Fifth Realm cultivator?"

As his thoughts raced, Jiang Chuan leaped out of the Green Mountain Furnace.

Just as he picked up the monk's robe from the ground and put it on, Jiang Chuan heard a creak.

Following the sound, Jiang Chuan looked and saw Jing Hui walking in from the doorway.

After reshaping his body, Jiang Chuan's five senses were far superior to before.

Catching the scent on Jing Hui, Jiang Chuan's expression changed drastically, and he blurted out instinctively.

"Senior Brother, have you been living in a cesspit these past few days?"

Jing Hui: "."

What was that supposed to mean?

What did he mean by living in a cesspit?

Could a person even live in a cesspit?

Immediately after, Jing Hui began to recount to Jiang Chuan the events that had transpired during Jiang Chuan's seclusion.
