Saintly Spirit Transformation Method

Saintly Spirit Transformation Method

"It was actually this method!"

Chen Zhao held the Dao Scripture Golden Book in his hand, his tone filled with amazement.

The Dao Scripture Golden Book recorded Daoist Heavenly Lord's method of defying life and transforming anew.

He was no stranger to this method—it was precisely the Saintly Spirit Transformation Method.

Yet this method was not simply the Transformation into Saintly Spirit Method.

Rather, it borrowed the Dao of nature to reverse the mandate of fate, veil the Heavenly Secrets, seize the fortune of heaven and earth, and nurture oneself—allowing heaven and earth to conceive one anew, just as they would a Saintly Spirit.

"This should be the original Transformation into Saintly Spirit Method."

The method later used by the Feathered Emperor likely originated from this.

However, the Feathered Emperor had turned himself into a Saintly Spirit stone embryo, accepting the nurturing of heaven and earth to be reborn.

Daoist Heavenly Lord's method was to veil the Heavenly Secrets and alter the mandate of fate, making heaven and earth mistake him for a Saintly Spirit, thereby borrowing the power of heaven and earth's fortune to nurture himself.

Compared to the method used by the Feathered Emperor, Daoist Heavenly Lord's method did not require him to turn himself into a stone embryo.

"Daoist Heavenly Lord truly was astonishingly gifted."

Chen Zhao inexplicably thought of Emperor Lord. Emperor Lord had severed everything of his own, then emerged at the end of the Mythological Era to prove the Dao.

Emperor Lord's previous identity had been one of the Heavenly Venerables of the Mythological Era.

In his previous life, some had speculated that Emperor Lord's former identity was Primordial Heavenly Lord.

Because among the Mythological Nine Heavens Venerables, there were already Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord and Daoist Heavenly Lord; only Primordial Heavenly Lord was missing.

Now, the transformation method Daoist Heavenly Lord had used in his Third Life was extremely likely to have been used by Emperor Lord as well, allowing him to live out a Third Life.

Then, had Emperor Lord and Daoist Heavenly Lord truly been connected in the past?

The two had most likely crossed paths during the Mythological Era, which was why Emperor Lord had obtained Daoist Heavenly Lord's transformation method.

And that was why Daoist Heavenly Lord had dared to undergo Nirvana in the Path to Immortality Land.

All of this was merely Chen Zhao's speculation. He only felt that the Mythological Era was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

He did not dwell on it. To him, such matters were trivial; only becoming stronger himself was worth his attention.

"Daoist Heavenly Lord once brewed wine with Saintly Spirits. In truth, he was studying Saintly Spirits and, through them, carved out a path to longevity."

Rumors of Daoist Heavenly Lord brewing wine had always circulated throughout the universe.

Only after seeing the Transformation into Saintly Spirit Method did Chen Zhao understand.

Daoist Heavenly Lord had used Saintly Spirits to brew wine, but in truth, he had been studying them, allowing him to comprehend a method of longevity transformation.

"Daoist Heavenly Lord's Transformation into Saintly Spirit Method does not actually turn oneself into a Saintly Spirit. Instead, it alters the mandate of fate and veils the Heavenly Secrets.

"Borrowing the power of heaven and earth's fortune, it washes away the duskiness within oneself, nurtures vitality, and thus lets one live another life."

Chen Zhao fell into thought. This Transformation into Saintly Spirit Method had clearly spawned several versions.

There was Emperor Lord's version, Daoist Heavenly Lord's version, and the Feathered Emperor's version. One Saintly Spirit transformation method had been played into countless variations by three people.

Though he did not know who had created this Saintly Spirit Method, Chen Zhao leaned toward Daoist Heavenly Lord being its creator.

Daoist Heavenly Lord did bear the nickname Brewing Heavenly Lord. Having studied Saintly Spirits for many years and being proficient in the Dao of nature, it was hardly strange that he had developed such a method.

Later, Emperor Lord should have obtained this method, improved it, severed all of his foundations, and transformed into a supreme Immortal Fetus, emerging once more to prove the Dao.

Then, in the Desolate Ancient Era, the Feathered Emperor, as an inheritor of the Heavenly Court lineage, obtained the remnants of the Saintly Spirit Method left behind by Emperor Lord and transformed himself into a true stone-embryo Saintly Spirit.

"This method can be used." Chen Zhao had reached an answer in his heart.

It was a path traveled by three people. Daoist Heavenly Lord, Emperor Lord, and the Feathered Emperor had all successfully walked it.

That proved there was no problem with this path. With some alterations, it could be used.

"Oh? This method."

Chen Zhao continued reading downward through the Dao Scripture Golden Book and discovered other transformation methods as well.

"Set up a world-shaking grand formation, bury oneself within its formation eye, and draw upon the essence of a land of fortune to defy life and transform anew."

This method turned oneself into an Immortal Fetus, allowing one to be cleansed by Fortune Qi, thereby nurturing oneself and living another life in defiance of fate.

It probed the mysteries of heaven and earth, gathering the fortune of heaven and earth through formations to nurture supreme vitality.

Chen Zhao looked at this method, then looked again at Daoist Heavenly Lord lying within the Immortal Pool, and came to some understanding.

"This method."

Ye Fan of the Later Generations had used this Nirvana transformation method.

Yet according to the records in this Dao Scripture Golden Book, this method of transformation and defying life had not been pioneered by Daoist Heavenly Lord, but had come from Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord.

The Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord of legend, who wielded the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to strike down immortals.

One of the Nine Heavenly Venerables of the Mythological Era, Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord had created the Array Word Secret among the Nine Secrets and could be called the progenitor of the Dao of formations.

He had even left behind the Scripture of Salvation specifically to restrain Corpse Calamities.

Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord's body still lay sprawled across the cosmos.

"Is Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord truly dead, or not quite dead yet?" A conjecture surfaced in Chen Zhao's mind.

Even Daoist Heavenly Lord had not died completely and was still undergoing a transformation between life and death. It was highly likely that Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord had not died completely either.

Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord was the patriarch of his lineage, and the Intercepting Heaven Dao was a legacy passed down from Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord.

"So the method Daoist Heavenly Lord is using now is the Transformation Method once used by Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord?" Chen Zhao fell into thought.

Using formations to gather the quintessence of heaven and earth's creation, then burying oneself in a place of creation to nurture new life—this method could be traced back to the Desolate Heavenly Emperor.

When the Desolate Heavenly Emperor underwent a Mortal World Immortal transformation in one of his lives, he had used this very method.

"Dao and Law truly are a cycle." Chen Zhao sighed inwardly.

The transformation method Daoist Heavenly Lord was using had already been put into practice by both the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord. Succeeding in the transformation would not be difficult.

"Mortal World transformations really are difficult."

Looking across the history of Covering the Sky, after Ye Fan achieved Ascension of the Entire Sect, only a handful had successfully walked the path of the Mortal World Immortal.

All the other prodigies and outstanding persons had perished halfway down the road.

Even if Daoist Heavenly Lord succeeded in this transformation, he would still fail in some later life.

After passing away, Laozi would emerge anew through Emperor Corpse Spiritual Awakening.

"This method..."

When Chen Zhao saw the final method recorded in the Dao Scripture Golden Book, he was stunned.

This method...

Was none other than the famed method of the Reincarnation Seal.

After death, one would bury oneself in a place of creation. The flesh would remain unchanged, while the light of the Primordial Spirit bloomed anew and condensed into a Reincarnation Seal.

One day, when all the Reincarnation Seals connected and merged into one, the true self would emerge. That day would be the day of becoming immortal.

Past life, present life, and future life would merge as one, achieving immortality through nine lives.

"This method is simply impossible." Chen Zhao shook his head.

Other than Duan De, no one had ever successfully walked this path. It was nothing but a trap.

This method had spread widely during the Mythological Era, even giving rise to terrifying Corpse Calamities.

Numinous Treasure Heavenly Lord had created the Scripture of Salvation precisely to combat Corpse Calamities.

"It seems that before Daoist Heavenly Lord of later generations failed his transformation, he chose this method, hoping to return through Reincarnation's Return." Chen Zhao shook his head.

Laozi of later generations, born through Emperor Corpse Spiritual Awakening, utterly refused to acknowledge that he was Daoist Heavenly Lord. He recognized only this life, not his past lives.
