Immortal Great Art

The tremendous rebounding force from the Heavenly Gate instantly sent Wang Ding flying a hundred meters back. Wang Ding circulated the mana throughout his body and stopped his retreating form, then lunged at the Heavenly Gate again. Punch after punch, he unleashed over a hundred blows in an instant, each carrying the strength of twelve flying dragons. The sky was filled with phantoms of flying dragons, almost blotting out the Heavenly Gate itself.

Under Wang Ding's frenzied bombardment, the Heavenly Gate seemed unable to bear it and began to tremble. But the immense counter-shock also rebounded onto Wang Ding, jolting him until his entire body felt as if it would split apart. Crack after crack appeared across his consciousness avatar.

Wang Ding paid it no mind. He drove the vast mana within him and continued hammering the Heavenly Gate. Under Wang Ding's efforts, the Heavenly Gate finally opened a crack one foot wide, but after that, no matter how he attacked, he could not force it open another inch.

At this moment, Wang Ding already sensed that a mysterious power from the outside world was corroding his mana. Knowing he was already in crisis, Wang Ding held nothing back. A deep sense of danger spurred him on, making him smell an incomparable aura of death.

Wang Ding let out a great roar that shook the ten directions. "I, Wang Ding, crossed worlds to come here. Now that I have this chance at longevity and immortality, this road to eternity, you think a mere Heavenly Gate can stop me from attaining the Dao? Don't even dream of it!"

At this moment, Wang Ding fiercely drew in all the mana in his body, inhaling all the mingled yin and yang qi. With one full-powered punch, leaving himself no way out, he even used the mana that protected his body.

The punch shocked the heavens, and from his mouth he shouted the will in his heart, the pursuit of his entire life: "Only by heaven's fortune do I gain the path of longevity; the Heavenly Gate in the void divides life and death; through yin and yang creation I seek a chance at life; with one punch I break open the undying road to heaven. Break for me, break, break!"

It was a terrifying punch. Wang Ding's entire right hand turned black and white. Under the mutual conflict of yin and yang qi, the mighty power of creation played out within his right hand. A punch with white hidden in black and black gestating within white slammed solidly onto the Heavenly Gate. Boom. A strange black-and-white radiance of creation lit up in this Heavenly Gate world. Beneath that radiance, everything vanished, everything returned to primal chaos. The Heavenly Gate in the sky was no exception; beneath this boundless mighty power, it turned into flying ash.

The light of creation vanished in the blink of an eye. Wang Ding's thoughts shook, and his will avatar was immediately exposed between heaven and earth. He sensed the endless origin qi within heaven and earth. He was like a fish in water; with every breath, boundless origin qi entered his body.

Wang Ding's consciousness blurred and returned to his body. After breaking through the Heavenly Gate and advancing into the Qi Gathering Stage, his entire body began undergoing a tremendous transformation. Boundless origin qi from heaven and earth began pouring down from above the Heavenly Gate. Endless heaven-and-earth origin qi washed through Wang Ding's fleshly body again and again. His bones, muscles, five viscera, and six bowels all shook continuously, once more flushing out the impurities within his body. Only after a full two hours did heaven-and-earth origin qi finish remolding Wang Ding.

Then the mana within Wang Ding's body suddenly released a terrifying suction force and began actively absorbing the endless heaven-and-earth origin qi. The entire space above Wang Ding's head turned into a vortex of origin qi. Boundless origin qi was sucked into his body and transformed into mana. Within his dantian, one strand, two strands, three strands of mana appeared without pause, until his entire dantian qi sea had become an ocean of mana.

Two hours later, the heaven-and-earth origin qi finally calmed down. His dantian qi sea was filled. Just as Wang Ding thought everything was over, his consciousness was once again sucked by a force into the Mud Pill Palace.

When Wang Ding came back to himself, he had already arrived in the Mud Pill Palace. The Mud Pill Palace was as empty and void as ever. At this moment, Wang Ding's consciousness returned to his divine soul, and he looked solemnly at the fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation before him, which was emitting a hazy clear light.

Wang Ding reached out to grab the fragment of the Jade Plate of Creation and thought, Could it be there's another new great art?

Sure enough, the moment Wang Ding's hand grasped the Jade Plate of Creation, a vast flood of information rushed straight into his divine soul and branded itself fiercely into Wang Ding's consciousness. Then Wang Ding was surrounded by a light cocoon formed from countless purple tadpole-like heavenly script characters.

About two hours later, the light cocoon surrounding Wang Ding disappeared. Wang Ding finally woke from the ocean of countless pieces of information. Immediately after, he saw a portion of the Jade Plate of Creation break off and turn into a purple great talisman emanating an immortal aura, which rushed into Wang Ding's divine soul and connected with the Mysterious Yellow Great Talisman. Then countless tiny tadpole-like heavenly script characters grew out from the immortal great talisman and wrapped around Wang Ding's divine soul. Afterward, the immortal great talisman became just like the Mysterious Yellow Great Talisman, hiding within his divine soul.

Wang Ding sensed the vast information within his divine soul, and his mind was simply shaken to the extreme. I've really stepped in dogshit luck big enough to fill the heavens. It's actually another great Dao that points straight to Hunyuan. The Great Art of Myriad Things Immortality refines all things between heaven and earth that possess divinity and forges an immortal body. At its highest realm, it can transform the fleshly body into a Hunyuan Immortal Golden Body, directly linking with the laws, thereby proving the Dao of Hunyuan.

At this moment, Wang Ding could not help sighing with feeling. "Having obtained such a great art, if I still can't attain the Dao, then I might as well buy a block of tofu and ram myself to death with it. But now I've charged into the Qi Gathering Stage, and from now on my lifespan is extended by eight hundred years. After I'm promoted to true disciple, I can begin cultivating the two supreme Daos, the Great Art of Myriad Things Immortality and the Mysterious Yellow Undying Great Art."

Wang Ding stood up, left the bedroom, and came to Spring Thunder Courtyard. He began carefully experiencing his current strength. Wang Ding sank into a horse stance and assumed the simplest move, Black Tiger Digs Out the Heart. He drove the sea-like, brimming mana within him. The muscles throughout his body tensed, and boundless qi and blood surged through his body. With a thunderous roar, "Ah!" Wang Ding punched toward the sky. In an instant, ninety golden-yellow flying dragons swept out across the air. The sky within five hundred meters all turned into a world of dragons. Countless flying dragons roared, twisted, coiled, tore through the air, and warped the light. The origin qi between heaven and earth all rioted. Nearly a hundred flying-dragon phantoms soared more than a hundred meters into the sky before gradually vanishing.

The scene here immediately alarmed all of Crouching Dragon Island. Countless disciples rode their Magic Tools and hurried toward Spring Thunder Courtyard, wanting to see exactly what had happened.

At this moment, in a small courtyard on the east side of Crouching Dragon Island, Huang Tutian was busy preparing to attack the Qi Gathering Stage. But when he saw the fist force soaring into the sky, he immediately froze. "Isn't that direction Senior Brother Wang Ding's Spring Thunder Courtyard? Don't tell me he broke through to the Qi Gathering Stage. No way. It's only been a few hours since we returned to the sect." Huang Tutian could not help feeling a sourness rise in his heart, but he immediately reacted, mounted his Magic Tool, and rushed toward Spring Thunder Courtyard.

At the same time, Long Lingyu and Dongfang Riyue were also rushing over. The two of them had just returned to the Wongchuan Sect when they saw the scene here.

Wang Ding felt extremely good right now. That punch just now had swept away all his pent-up gloom. Sensing the power within his body, Wang Ding murmured to himself, "My fleshly body has about thirty flying dragons of strength, and my mana has about sixty flying dragons of strength. With my current power, I can definitely fight a Pill Gestation cultivator head-on without falling behind."

Watching the countless cultivators hurrying over from afar, Wang Ding smiled faintly. Wang Ding had deliberately caused such a huge commotion. His purpose was to make the entire sect know that he had advanced to the Qi Gathering Stage. When the time came, even if Wei Jingchi suspected him, without evidence, he would not dare act recklessly.
