Fleshly Body Becomes Spirit, Shaking Douluo

After finishing the introduction to the Blood Transporting Realm and the Hole Heaven Realm, Zhao Xiao began to explain the next stage: the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"The Spirit Transformation Realm is a process of reshaping one's true self. Unlike the Blood Transporting Realm and the Hole Heaven Realm, it involves a transition from the physical body to the spirit, and then to communicating with the external Hole Heavens to generate spirituality and undergo evolution."

"It begins with the blood, then the skin and flesh, followed by the internal organs, and finally, the bone marrow."

"The Spirit Transformation Realm must be traversed in several major steps. First, there is the Fleshly Spirit Transformation, then the reshaping of the true self in spirit, and subsequently, the nurturing of spirits within the ten Hole Heavens."

"Among these, the Fleshly Spirit Transformation is the most important; it is the foundation. First, one must dissolve the Runes and Divine Radiance condensed during the Blood Transporting and Hole Heaven stages into the flesh and blood. Through countless refinements and endless guidance, one reshapes their form to evolve spirituality."

"This step is like sowing the seeds of life into the soil, letting them take root, sprout, and grow vigorously, thereby allowing the physical body to experience a rebirth."

Although he saw that Ning Rongrong had an earnest and studious expression, Zhao Xiao knew very well that she only half-understood what he was saying, so he reminded her.

"Don't think that what I've described is simple. In reality, the step of Fleshly Spirit Transformation can only be infinitely approached; achieving it completely is almost impossible. If one were to truly reach perfection, it would be absolutely terrifying. Even pure-blooded creatures and Ancient Desolate Species find it difficult to truly achieve Fleshly Spirit Transformation."

"Normal cultivators, like myself, only refine Divine Radiance, baptize the flesh, and temper the muscles and bones."

"I can even say that those who can achieve Fleshly Spirit Transformation in the Spirit Transformation Realm in any given generation are few and far between. Even if you include the Immortal Domain, I fear the number would not exceed a million!"

"You must consider that whether it is in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands or the Immortal Domain, cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Realm are like drops of water in the ocean or stars in the universe—how vast and numerous they are!"

"But if one truly achieves Fleshly Spirit Transformation, the body becomes a Spirit Embryo, capable of turning all kinds of spiritual power to one's own use. Not only does the speed of absorbing spiritual energy and comprehending the Dao increase exponentially, but even when an enemy's Treasure Techniques strike, one can convert the opponent's spiritual power into their own!"

"Furthermore, because the body has become a Spirit Embryo, it is an all-encompassing enhancement for the cultivator. If the spiritual power possessed by an ordinary Spirit Transformation cultivator who has condensed ten Hole Heavens is 1, then a Spirit Transformation cultivator with ten Hole Heavens who has achieved Fleshly Spirit Transformation will possess spiritual power equal to 100 or even more!"

"The body is like a container. An ordinary container has a capacity of 1, while the Spirit Embryo after Fleshly Spirit Transformation has a capacity of 100!"

"It can be said that only by truly reaching the step of Fleshly Spirit Transformation can one understand the endless benefits and infinite mysteries of it!"

Gulp!

At this moment, countless soul masters on the Douluo Continent, and even the gods in the neighboring God Realm, were all swallowing hard.

According to Zhao Xiao, once a cultivator achieves Fleshly Spirit Transformation, they are practically invulnerable. Not only is their speed of absorbing spiritual energy and comprehending the Dao multiplied, but they can even turn an enemy's spiritual power to their own use. In other words, if you want to fight them, you can only resort to hand-to-hand combat!

"Too terrifying! The Fleshly Spirit Transformation of the Spirit Transformation Realm is simply too terrifying!"

"Indeed, just hearing about it gives me goosebumps. If my opponent could neutralize all my soul skills, or even my martial soul, wouldn't I be left without the slightest power to resist in front of them?"

"Exactly. We should really be thankful that such an absurd existence does not exist on our Douluo Continent."

"But then again, do you think if there were some soul skill that could neutralize an opponent's soul power like that, wouldn't it be invincible?"

"The idea is good, but how would one create such a soul skill?"

"I don't know..."

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi watched Ning Rongrong's light screen livestream, subconsciously stroking his chin.

"If Fleshly Spirit Transformation can neutralize the opponent's Spiritual Power, then if the opponent uses an Enhancement-type Treasure Technique, would that also lose its effect?"

"Or is it that this so-called neutralization of Spiritual Power in Fleshly Spirit Transformation is selective?"

"If Fleshly Spirit Transformation truly can neutralize all Spiritual Power, wouldn't that mean one has to rely entirely on oneself?"

In the God Realm, all the gods looked at one another, falling into a heavy silence.

Fleshly Spirit Transformation was not only an absolute suppression against Soul Masters, but it was the same for gods like them as well.

They knew their own situation best; although the quality of their Divine Power was higher than the Soul Power of the Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent, it wasn't by much. At most, it was the difference between iron and steel—essentially, it was still iron.

Of course, this analogy wasn't entirely accurate. After all, Divine Power was purely overwhelming when faced with Soul Power, but it was roughly the same concept.

"Should I be glad that none of us possess a Divine Skill similar to Fleshly Spirit Transformation?"

The ferocious expression on the Asura God's face had long since dissipated, leaving only a sense of profound awe.

As for the other four Great God Kings, they merely rolled their eyes at him and said nothing more.

Although they couldn't achieve something like Fleshly Spirit Transformation, Zhao Xiao had also said that under normal circumstances, the physical body was a vessel. The stronger the body, the more Spiritual Power it could contain. Therefore, conversely, if they also strengthened their Divine Bodies through baptism and tempering their muscles and bones, could they not also enhance their Divine Power?

Before today, whenever they wanted to become stronger, they only focused on enhancing their Divine Power; they had never considered that they could strengthen their own Divine Bodies!

Meanwhile, on the back of the Golden Horned Flood Dragon, Zhao Xiao was explaining while tapping his forehead. The next moment, a light burned in the center of his forehead, slowly releasing an immortal Divine Radiance.

"This is the second step of the Spirit Transformation Realm: reshaping the True Self mentally and condensing one's own Divine Radiance."

Feeling the burning Divine Radiance on Zhao Xiao's forehead, Ning Rongrong was completely speechless.

Only by observing it at such close range could one feel that surging Spiritual Power!

"Did you feel it?"

"Yes, I felt it—that surging Spiritual Power."

Nodding, Zhao Xiao moved his finger away, and the next moment, the burning light vanished.

"Actually, the burning light you just saw was only manifested so that you could feel it up close. Under normal circumstances, Spiritual Power is intangible and formless."

"So that's how it is."

The more Zhao Xiao said this, the more horrified everyone who heard him felt.

To be able to manifest intangible and formless Spiritual Power into a burning light that could be clearly seen—just how terrifying must his Spiritual Power be!

After a moment of thought, Zhao Xiao shared what he had heard.

"Actually, I once heard that after Fleshly Spirit Transformation in the Spirit Transformation Realm, the mental Reshaping of the True Self and the nourishing of spirits in the Hole Heavens can be carried out simultaneously; the two do not conflict."

"It is said that if one reaches the extreme realm in Reshaping the True Self and nourishing spirits in the Hole Heavens, it will provide feedback to the physical body, resulting in a transformative improvement."

"The reason those three peerless talents of the Chu family were able to be so powerful that they crushed their peers and stood unrivaled is because they didn't just temper their bodies to one hundred and eight thousand catties of strength in the Blood Transporting Realm, or merge ten Hole Heavens into a single Supreme Hole Heaven in the Hole Heaven Realm—they also achieved Fleshly Spirit Transformation in the Spirit Transformation Realm!!!"
