The Three Elements, Big and Small, Dao Stone for Body, Immortal Spiritual Energy for Qi

Human Heart Hall, ten thousand flames of the heart moved according to Chen Dengming's will. In one of the flames, the rugged and domineering face of Dongfang Huayuan appeared, suddenly stabilizing the flame and even causing it to float outwards, emitting his usual arrogant voice.

"You brat, you really are still alive. What's the situation inside the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm? Since you were able to contact me so quickly, it seems that the Old Man of Longevity and the Qu Shenzong have both won a great victory."

Hearing Dongfang Huayuan's familiar, rough, and unrestrained voice, Chen Dengming felt a warmth in his heart, but thinking of the current fate of the First Ancestor, he couldn't bring himself to smile and responded.

"This junior is very grateful for your selfless rescue, senior. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the chance to contact you now."

Dongfang Huayuan said impatiently, "Don't be so polite with me. I hate your pretentious act the most. I saved you not just for your sake, but because I didn't want the Human God Hall to fall into the hands of that dead mother bird."

"If you don't die, perhaps your ancestor will still help you out, and the Human God Hall won't be lost. Losing one of my avatars is nothing."

Chen Dengming chuckled. Dongfang Huayuan straightforward as ever, but as the saying goes, actions speak louder than words, and no one is perfect. In the end, the other party had saved him.

As he pondered, he told the other party about what had happened after the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm, including the fact that the First Ancestor Lu Xiucheng had now sacrificed himself.

Dongfang Huayuan sighed upon hearing this.

"I never expected that this long-lived old man who could foresee all the secrets of heaven would sacrifice himself like this. He must have asked for his own death, otherwise, with his wisdom and methods, he would never have died in the Shattered Heavenly Immortal Realm. His life could only be taken by himself, and only by heaven."

Chen Dengming was surprised that Dongfang Huayuan called the First Ancestor "the long-lived old man" and "the old tortoise," understood the First Ancestor so well. He agreed.

"Indeed, before this plan, the First Ancestor had already resolved to die. He said that his injuries were too severe, his lifespan was short, and he could not hope to achieve Dao. Therefore, he would rather die to assassinate the Demon Lord and protect the world."

"It is difficult to attain the Dao, but it can provide great protection for all under heaven."

Dongfang Huayuan's tone was tinged with a mix of sighing, mockery, and resentment as he said, "He is indeed unlikely to achieve the Dao, or rather, many of us are unlikely to achieve the Dao."

This is the consequence of the shattering of the Five Great True Immortals lineages. The old man of longevity was indeed the most approachable master to the Dao, but alas, it is lamentable.

However, perhaps an opportunity will arise in the future, and I am absolutely not content with being merely a Nascent Spirit Transformation."

"The drawbacks of the shattering of the Five Great True Immortals lineages?" Chen Dengming was about to ask when Dongfang Huayuan interrupted and stopped him.

"These questions will naturally become clear to you once you reach the Spirit Transformation; there's no point in discussing them now."

You say you are currently trapped in a celestial Heavenly Prison formed by the mad will of Heavenly Dao, unable to escape?

No wonder I couldn't sense the Human God Hall either; it seems it's also been isolated by the Heavenly Prison. So, you're contacting me now because you want my help to escape?"

"No, that's not it."

Chen Dengming naturally did not intend to ask Dongfang Huayuan extricate himself, as the other party might not be capable of doing what even Qu Shenzong could not do.

"Senior Dongfang, I only need your help to take down the Human God Hall, so that it won't be completely assimilated and devoured by the mad Heavenly Dao Will. This would be a great loss to the Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage."

Dongfang Huayuan had actually guessed that Chen Dengming would ask for help in this way, but he deliberately changed the subject, wanting to hear Chen Dengming say it on his own initiative.

Upon hearing this, he pondered and asked curiously, "Not only did you inherit the Immortal Celestial Lineage, but you also Human Immortal Orthodox Lineage and obtained the Human Heart Hall. Could it be that you are truly not tempted at all by the Human God Hall?"

"If the mad Heavenly Dao will assimilates the Human God Hall, you will still have a chance to obtain the Human God Hall once the Heavenly Dao will corrects its course."

Chen Dengming laughed heartily, "What? Could it be that you don't need the Human God Hall, senior? If you don't need it, then I'd be happy to take advantage of it for free."

"But if you need this Human God Hall, senior, I will not compete with you for it."

Dongfang Huayuan, "Is what you say true?"

Chen Dengming said calmly, "I have never been one to take what others desire. Everyone has their own destiny and path. Whether it is the path of human immortals or the path of celestial immortals, there are many branches. Even if the Great Dao is needed to unify them, it is not impossible to follow one's own path. Complementing other paths would be more in line with this."

"What a fine 'going your own way,' indeed! It speaks to my very heart. No wonder you, like me, came from the Southern Search."

Dongfang Huayuan was startled, and couldn't help but burst into laughter, realizing that he had underestimated this fellow villager who had come from Nanxun.

He had once considered taking over the Human Heart Hall, but whenever he thought that the State of Mind of human immortals' minds was incompatible with his own, he would give up the idea many times, preferring to walk his own path, perfect his own spiritual path, and forge a different path of human immortals.

Unexpectedly, this Bai Mao little tortoise from the Longevity Sect, a fellow villager, shared the same thought. In his view, this was someone with a grand vision and lofty ambition, just like him.

"Alright, I will now try to help you control and take Human God Hall."

A short while later.

With the help of Dongfang Huayuan, Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord who had already taken control of the Human God Hall, Chen Dengming successfully took the Human God Hall from the Phoenix Dao Fire.

At this moment, deep within his mind, the Human Heart Hall and the Human God Hall floated quietly, nourishing his mind.

A pure Mental Power, accompanied by indescribable Dao power, flowed from the base of the twelve stone pillars in the Human God Hall and merged into his spiritual river, shimmering with brilliance.

"This is..." Chen Dengming thought with a puzzled expression.

"This is the power of the Dao seed that Buddha Guai left deep in your heart. Now it has been purified by the Human God Hall and is the purest spiritual Dao power. If you want to break through to the Spirit Transformation, this Dao seed will be of great benefit to you."

Dongfang Huayuan's mental power transmitted his voice through the heart fire within the Human Heart Hall.

"Thank you very much, senior." Chen Dengming said with pleasure.

"No need to be polite. This seed of Dao power was originally planted deep within your heart by the Buddha Guai. It's your good fortune that you weren't killed by him."

Chen Dengming smiled wryly upon hearing this; Dongfang Huayuan's way of speaking was certainly direct.

However, Buddha Guai to steal a chicken backfired, and the seed of Dao power ended up benefiting him for nothing. This was unpleasant for the other party, but very satisfying for Buddha.

Chen Dengming immediately focused his mind and began to absorb the pure Mental Power emanating from the Human God Hall.

When breaking through to the Spirit Transformation stage, the Nascent Soul and the Primordial Spirit need to merge together into the Dharma Body to form the Dao Body of Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord.

At that time, the requirements for the total amount and quality of Primordial Spirit power were beyond question.

Originally, enhancing the power of the Primordial Spirit and breaking through to the Spirit Transformation was a crucial step that would only be gradually undertaken after the Nascent Soul Perfection had reached perfection, belonging to the stage of Qi Cultivation into Spirit commonly referred to in Daoism.

However, absorbing the pure Mental Power of the Buddha Guai Path Seed at this moment can help Chen Dengming complete the process of perfecting his Primordial Spirit ahead of time, thus saving him the effort of years of accumulation and arduous cultivation.

As pure Mental Power continued to flow into his mind.

In the introspection, the power of the mind is like two distinct rivers. As the pure Mental Power continues to flow in, the river representing the power of the Primordial Spirit immediately begins to rise and grow stronger.

Chen Dengming's spirits soared, his Nascent Soul's eyes shone brightly, and even the seed of the Life and Death Dao Rhyme within his body swelled and grew after absorbing that indescribable and strange Dao power.

In an instant, the Daoist aura emanating from the Nascent Soul became even more intense.

"You have indeed grasped a Daoist principle. Genius, truly a genius. No wonder your ancestor valued you so highly."

At this moment, Dongfang Huayuan's sigh echoed from the Human Heart Hall.

Being able to comprehend the Dao before reaching the Nascent Soul Perfection demonstrates Chen Dengming's exceptional comprehension, something that no amount of fortuitous opportunity or luck can achieve; it is pure strength.

At least he only comprehended the Dao after breaking through to the Spirit Transformation.

Chen Dengming then realized that Dongfang Huayuan also contained an element of testing him.

It seems that when he mentioned Daoist principles to the other party, the other party had already taken note of it.

However, this probing was not necessarily malicious; it might just be curiosity.

However, Chen Dengming didn't have the habit of having others watch him practice. It was like being openly stared at while taking a bath—it was incredibly awkward.

"If Senior Dongfang has nothing else to say, I will continue my cultivation. Once I am free, I will bring the Human God Hall to you."

"No problem, no problem. It's just a Human God Hall; I'll lend it to you for a while."

Chen Dengming smiled inwardly. Although Dongfang Huayuan said that, he clearly still cared a lot about the Human God Hall.

He didn't expose him, and withdrew a sliver of his mind from the Human Heart Hall, effectively closing the door to his heart, making it difficult for others to see through him.

At this moment, as the power of the Primordial Spirit and the Daoist essence continue to grow, the Nascent Soul is also absorbing immortal Immortal Spiritual Energy while cultivating the <Heavenly Immortal Art>, and its Law Power is constantly increasing, which can be described as continuously becoming stronger in multiple aspects.

Chen Dengming drew out a portion of his mental and spiritual Law Power, and with a few hand seals, he condensed four Heavenly Immortal Clones. He multitasked, using three of the avatars to begin comprehending the three volumes of Dao Intent.

The fourth avatar remained detached, observing the ever-growing Life and Death Dao Rhyme within the Nascent Soul, pondering the key to breaking through to the Spirit Transformation and condensing Spirit Transformation body.

According to the "Heavenly Immortal Art", the so-called "Spirit Transformation" is the process of merging the Nascent Soul Primordial Spirit into one's own Flesh and Blood and blood body at the stage of perfecting the Nascent Soul Perfection, so that the Essence, Qi, and Spirit, qi and spirit are unified.

From then Flesh and Blood, the strength of the Physical Body increased greatly, and the brain area was also greatly enhanced. Every part of the body was imprinted with the imprint of the user's Law Power Flesh and Blood Primordial Spirit.

Therefore, even if Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord has only a drop of blood left, as long as sufficient power is provided, their Dao body can be reshaped.

Chen Dengming focused his mind on his clone, thinking, "Every piece of Flesh and Blood, even a drop of blood, has been infused with Law Power and Primordial Spirit. This is like a drop of blood possessing the three elements of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, energy, and spirit, which is called the Lesser Three Elements."

A Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord is a Great Three Elements, which is composed of countless Lesser Three Elements. Even if it is completely destroyed, as long as one Lesser Three Elements remains, it can continue to absorb power, constantly splitting into more Lesser Three Elements, and then reforming into a Great Three Elements.

A look of understanding gradually appeared in Chen Dengming's eyes.

The secret to the Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord's ability to be reborn from a drop of blood lies in the fact that every part of his Flesh and Blood, every drop of blood, possesses its own purest Three Elements Power, which can expand at any time by absorbing power.

This is similar to a cancer virus; as long as it is not completely eradicated, even a tiny bit of the virus can still rapidly grow stronger by consuming the functions within the Flesh and Blood.

In this respect, the true body of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator cannot satisfy this requirement.

The crucial point now is that he only has a Nascent Soul Divine Soul left, while his Physical Body has been destroyed.

This means he only possesses Qi and Shen, but lacks Jing, which means he cannot form the Great Three Elements and cannot even meet the basic conditions for the formation of the Spirit Transformation Body, let alone break through to the Spirit Transformation stage.

"I need to reshape my Physical Body first, even if it's just an ordinary Nascent Soul body, or even just an arm. At least I need to reshape my own Flesh and Blood, and possess essence, so that I can condense a Spirit Transformation Body when I break through to the Spirit Transformation stage."

After pondering this for a while, Chen Dengming gradually formed some ideas in his mind.

Reconstructing the Physical Body, seemingly just about recreating Flesh and Blood, is actually extremely difficult. It's a process of creating something from nothing, requiring the creation of something from nothing.

For ordinary people, this is the creation of life, which requires the joint efforts of a man and a woman, husband and wife, and a certain number of years of nurturing before it is born.

Even for cultivators, such as those at the Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord, it is extremely difficult to create a Flesh and Blood body from nothing.

Even if it were created, it would be impossible to give this Flesh and Blood and blood a suitable soul. This involves the great Dao of creating life, which is difficult even for Spirit Transmutation Dao Lord to comprehend.

But for Chen Dengming, this seemed to be only the part of the Daoist philosophy concerning 'life' within the Life and Death Dao Rhyme.

He only needs to reshape a Physical Body from nothing to create life directly, rather than endowing that Physical Body with a suitable soul.

Because he himself is a soul, the difficulty of inhabiting a soulless Physical Body is instantly reduced.

He had a vague intuition that if he could use the Life and Death Dao Rhyme to reshape a physical Physical Body for himself, his understanding of the Life and Death Dao Rhyme would be greatly enhanced.

"Life and death. The power of life. In my past world, the earliest life seemed to be born in a gentle energy environment of thunder and lightning."

In the Cultivation World we live in today, the phoenix's rebirth is a kind of Life and Death Cycle, a kind of New Life after death.

Chen Dengming was startled, but allowed his main body and three clones to cultivate inside the hall.

The fourth clone walked out of the hall, towards the incredibly scorching Phoenix Dao Fire outside, its eyes reflecting only the light of the Phoenix Dao Fire.

Suddenly, this fourth clone flew out of the Heavenly Longevity Hall at his Divine Sense, rushing towards the Phoenix Dao Fire like a moth to a flame, seeking the true meaning of life within the flames.

The fourth clone was completely incinerated as soon as it entered the Phoenix Dao Fire, turning into the purest Spiritual Qi to be devoured without causing the slightest ripple.

However, in the midst of his cultivation, Chen Dengming suddenly recalled the scene of his Physical Body being burned to ashes by the Phoenix Dao Fire.

Back then, his powerful Ancient Human Immortal Physique turned to ashes almost the instant it came into contact with the Dao fire, while his clone, being an energy condensation without Flesh and Blood, did not turn to ashes.

"Ash"

Chen Dengming's heart stirred, and he continued to condense a Heavenly Immortal Clone, which then rushed towards the Phoenix Dao Fire.

As his clone was completely incinerated, the scene of his Physical Body being burned became even clearer in his mind.

The Flesh and Blood is composed of matter and energy.

Since refining essence can transform into qi, qi can also be transformed back into essence, but this requires the support of many substances.

In an instant, Chen Dengming thought of many things.

For example, ghost cultivators do not have Flesh and Blood bodies, but they use yin soil to create Ghost Body, forming the Three Elements, and breaking through to the Spirit Transformation.

For ghost cultivators, the Yin Earth Body is the 'ash' that makes up their bodies.

Now, he has lost his Physical Body.

If one can find the right 'ash' to reshape the Physical Body, it may be possible to reshape the body and even become stronger.

However, inside this Heavenly Longevity Hall, apart from a few immortal halls, there was no material available for him to reshape his Physical Body.

At this moment, Chen Dengming thought of the fifth Dao Intent of the Human Immortal: Unity of All Hearts.

The fifth Dao Intent describes a scene where ancient immortals fell to the ground, their Flesh and Blood transforming into mountains, rivers, and countless tiny people. For these ancient immortals, the Mountains and Earth could become the 'ash' that made up their bodies.

"The ancient immortals were like this, but what about celestial immortals? Celestial immortals are ordained by Heaven. Under the thunder of Heaven, there is life, death, illusion, and destruction. A tree struck by lightning may seem dead, but in reality, it can give birth to new Life Force."

Celestial beings transform their Immortal Spiritual Energy into the energy of Life Force, nurture the life force with heavenly thunder, and bestow the meaning of life with the Heaven's Will.

Chen Dengming's Nascent Soul suddenly opened its eyes, its gaze shining as it looked outside the hall. Then it slowly raised its head to look at the Dao Stone at the top of the Heavenly Longevity Hall, and a bold idea sprouted in its mind.

Since there is no substance here to reshape the Physical Body, the Dao Stone can be used as the ashes of a celestial being's body.

If he were to reshape his Physical Body with Dao Stone, use Phoenix Dao Fire in conjunction with Heavenly Thunder to nurture its life force, imbue it with Immortal Spiritual Energy, and grant it Divine Will through the power of Heaven's Will...

Finally, the Life and Death Dao Rhyme will guide this life to form a body suitable for itself. Perhaps when the body is formed, his Spirit Transformation Body will also be formed.

However, this idea was far too audacious.

If the attempt to mold Physical Body with Dao Stone fails, the Dao Stone will be destroyed, and it is unknown whether this will affect the Heavenly Longevity Hall.

Chen Dengming frowned, a resolute look already appearing in his eyes.

"It is not necessary to use the Dao Stone of the Heavenly Longevity Hall. The Longevity Jade Seal can also be used. This jade seal is a piece of the Dao Stone."

If I can successfully forge a Dao body with this jade seal, this Dao body will be the most compatible with the Dao of Heavenly Immortal Way, and perhaps comprehending the Dao Intent will be twice as effective with half the effort.

If the sculpting fails, you can try using other materials as ash to sculpt an ordinary body.

To obtain the Longevity Jade Seal, one must contact Julu through the Human Heart Hall.

Then, using the Shore Flower in the Storage Bag carried by the giant deer, try to send over the Longevity Jade Seal or other materials.

In this way, the material needed to reshape the Physical Body will not be lacking.

Before the idea of reshaping his Dao body arose, Chen Dengming might have tried to leave the Heavenly Prison directly through the Shore Flower.

But now, he discovers that the environment within this Heavenly Prison, whether it be the Phoenix Dao Fire or the Heavenly Thunder formed by the Mad Heavenly Dao Will, is precisely the most powerful aid for him to shape his Dao Body, and the best Dao Power to give birth to life.

This can be described as "all dharmas are empty, the mind awakens to enlightenment; only when all limbs are exhausted can the body find peace."

If one can grasp the true meaning behind it, one will realize that adversity is actually a blessing in disguise.
