The Small Bronze Coffin lay quietly on the lotus pedestal in the center of the golden lotus, its lid already slid open, revealing its empty interior.
All the wonders and transformations converge at the center of the lotus platform.
Within that ball of pure light, which had expanded to the size of a normal person, constantly twisting and deforming, and radiating a chilling yet vibrant energy.
Li Qingshan's Innate Indestructible Spiritual Light is currently undergoing a crucial reshaping process.
That enormous golden lotus, rooted in the source of the Divine Spring, was formed from the condensation of endless laws and divine power.
It was as if its supreme power as the "carrier of the Dao" had been fully activated.
The entire lotus platform was no longer merely a vessel, but transformed into an enormous "chaotic furnace" that connected to the very origin of heaven and earth!
The lotus platform trembled slightly, and the Dao patterns of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas naturally imprinted on it lit up in turn, flowing out a tangible Order Divine Chains.
Below, the sacred spring gushing forth liquid Immortal Radiance essence roared even more powerfully, as if the unknown immortal Immortal Domain it connected to was pouring out its essence at any cost.
The inexhaustible essence of the Divine Spring was frantically drawn in by the enormous phantom root system at the base of the lotus platform, transported through the veins of the lotus stems and leaves, and finally flowed into the center of the lotus platform.
The moment this vast energy flowed into the lotus platform, it was tempered, purified, and transformed by the naturally formed "chaos furnace"!
The already pure and divine essence was further stripped away and sublimated, shedding all its acquired attributes.
Returning to its origin, it transforms into wisps of hazy, gray energy, imbued with countless faint, chaotic runes—the essence of heaven and earth!
At this moment, the essence of heaven and earth flowed into Li Qingshan's Innate Spiritual Light like rivers flowing into the sea, supporting his extraordinary transformation.
As Li Qingshan's consciousness revived, the profound meaning of the Eight-Nine Profound Art began to operate on its own, as if it were an instinct already engraved in his soul.
However, this self-operating trajectory subtly differs from the orthodox, gradual path of Li Qingshan's original Eight-Nine Profound Art!
Ordinary cultivators need to complete the first transformation of " Divine Embryo and physical Nirvana " to perfect their physique before reaching their peak state in order to cultivate this technique.
It awakened the "demon" within oneself that had always been hidden deep within the source of bloodline and the foundation of life, long sealed away by time and reason!
An innate inner demon!
It was the primordial chaos before the manifestation of divine and celestial light;
It is the untamed, wild instinct imprinted deep within the soul for the sake of survival;
Furthermore, it is the indispensable, ultimate "dark side" that represents the unity of creation and destruction.
Only by completely drawing out this boiling demonic energy from its slumbering abyss can a new Demonic Embryo be conceived within the body, thus stepping onto the path of the second transformation.
This was a natural progression, achieved step by step.
But Li Qingshan's situation is truly unprecedented.
Back then, on the ruins of the Thunder God in the Great Demon Mountain Range, the process of his Demonic Embryo fetus transforming into a Nirvana Divine Embryo was interrupted by the Shen Ji's supreme power.
He was not without achievements.
On the contrary, in that split second, in that split second, when life and death were decided.
His indomitable will and the near-collapse of his profound inner power somehow managed to complete an inconceivable "inner strength" in a way that defied common sense.
That Demonic Embryo Nirvana was originally aimed at the orthodox " Indestructible Divine Embryo ".
However, in the instant of external interference and his own complete loss of control, his tenacious spiritual instincts, in order to preserve a sliver of almost impossible survival amidst absolute destruction, spurred him to act.
They made an extremely bold, even crazy, move.
It will destroy all the fundamental essence of " Nirvana " that was about to be completely annihilated with the failure of the impact.
And the immense energy and insights into laws that were activated but not used to condense the orthodox Divine Embryo were forcibly injected into the First Demonic Embryo had already entered the void, in a distorted and extremely compressed manner!
This was not a successful and orderly promotion, but rather more like hastily burying the most important foundation stones and treasures into the crater of an imminent eruption when the building was about to collapse.
In other words, when he was interrupted by the Shen Ji back then, it wasn't just a failed promotion.
Instead, on the ruins of that defeat, in an extremely special and dangerous state, most of the foundation and potential leading to the second stage of the profound skill were "pre-drawn" and "sealed" in advance!
Ultimately, it was found on the corpse of the First Demonic Embryo and the incomplete embryonic form of the First Divine Embryo.
The Second Demonic Embryo" is born!
This Second Demonic Embryo, because it was conceived at a distorted node where advancement was forcibly interrupted, is no longer of ordinary nature.
It contains not only Li Qingshan's own most primal and violent demonic power.
It also contains the nearly complete essence of the "First Revolution" Dao Fruit and the massive amount of unreleased advancement energy that he should have used to construct the orthodox " Indestructible Divine Embryo " during his last breakthrough!
Therefore, upon its birth, it possessed astonishing combat power, defeating Shen Ji of the Lesser Heaven Rank, equivalent to the Immortal Three Severing the Dao in the Shrouding the Heavens World, to the point of complete annihilation.
Over the past decade of suppression and silence, the Innate Spiritual Light, trapped in absolute darkness and confinement, was like a strange cocoon, slowly and passively absorbing the faint energy contained within the power of suppression.
And in a destructive way, it continues to "refine" everything sealed inside.
This process is like forging gold with poisonous fire, a perilous journey with a slim chance of survival. Yet, by a twist of fate, the foundation and chaotic energy within it are refined to become purer, more restrained, and also more ferocious.
At this moment, he fell into the golden lotus of the Divine Spring!
The essence of heaven and earth gathered on the lotus platform, like the gentlest yet most powerful catalyst and energy source in the world, instantly activated this "cocoon of death" that had been dormant for millennia.
The supreme vitality of the divine Divine Spring and the ultimate destructive and chaotic power within the Innate Spiritual Light created an unprecedented conflict and stimulation.
Therefore, Li Qingshan's breakthrough at this moment is by no means a simple matter of "starting from scratch and following the established procedures".
He has completed his internal accumulation, and with the Red Hair Enters the Body, he sincerely presents " Shrouding the Heavens: Yuanshi of the Myriad Heavens," an exclusive first release! He has even exceeded expectations by completing the early stage of the second transformation.
"Boom!!!"
Stimulated by the essence of heaven and earth, the core of spiritual light fully awakened its violent nature.
The newly born Divine Embryo no longer merely absorbs external energy, but begins to burn itself out wildly!
Using the immense, destructive energy he had accumulated—enough to incinerate galaxies—as the blazing firewood, and with Li Qingshan's unyielding will, forged through endless trials and tribulations and as strong as diamond, as the Eternal flame, he would carry out that final, and true...
A double Nirvana!
This Nirvana is at a starting point far higher than the ordinary second stage of profound skills.
He didn't start his ascent from the first perfect turn; instead, he stood directly on the twisted and dangerous "half-finished platform" that he had built in a near-self-destructive manner during his previous failure.
The lotus platform, resembling a chaotic furnace, provides the most perfect and stable external environment and energy support, ensuring that this Nirvana will not be interrupted again by external forces.
The undying will, as the spark, precisely controls the scale and direction of the burning Demonic Embryo, guiding that destructive power so that it is no longer vented outward to cause destruction, but rather burned and purified inward.
The slightly "outdated" and "distorted" First Dao Fruit and chaotic energy, which had been sealed for more than ten years, were purified and then fused with the continuously flowing essence of heaven and earth at the deepest level.
The Divine Embryo disintegrated in the burning, its outer shell stripped away and burned away by the fire of will.
Its core, the "essence of first transformation" and "promotion potential" that had been carefully sealed and guarded for more than ten years, was completely released and activated in the flames of destruction, and merged with the essence of heaven and earth, undergoing a fundamental sublimation.
This is a process of "breaking out of the cocoon" and "reshaping" happening simultaneously.
The damage is a remnant of the previous failure, a deformed condition;
What is being reshaped is the old foundation, refined and purified, as its core, and imbued with a vast amount of the essence of heaven and earth, making it truly flawless and possessing boundless potential.
The Eight-Nine Profound Art, Second Transformation: The Indestructible Divine Embryo!
It is precisely because of his high starting point and profound foundation that his breakthrough was so unstoppable, and that his Divine Embryo foundation was so far beyond the ordinary.
This was not a fluke, but rather a belated fulfillment and transcendence achieved at the cost of his life and after more than a decade of solitude, in this incredible place of Fortune!
Inside the Innate Spiritual Light, the scene was even more breathtaking.
That pure light began to take on a definite form.
It expanded and contracted violently, like a living creature breathing, its outline gradually elongating to reveal a blurry human figure sitting cross-legged.
Inside this humanoid silhouette, even more mysterious changes are taking place.
The essence of heaven and earth was drawn by the divine power of the Secret Realm Method, Body as the Seed, and began to construct a completely new life form according to some ultimate principle of heaven and earth.
The first thing that appears is the phantom of bones, but these are not ordinary bones. They are composed of Chaos Divine Metal -like substance, densely packed with immortal Dao patterns, shimmering with a dark and solid luster, as if it could support a world.
Immediately afterwards, the bloodline network began to extend, like rushing galaxies, formed by a mixture of liquid essence of heaven and earth and life source energy.
Fine golden runes floated faintly within the blood, containing immense power and immortality.
The phantom images of the five internal organs also appear: heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
Each corresponds to one of the five elements: the heart is like a burning furnace, the kidneys are like a deep black sea, the spleen carries the earth element, the lungs inhale and exhale the metal element, and the liver exudes the wood element.
The five elements generate each other in an endless cycle, providing a continuous source of internal power for this newborn body.
Muscles, bones, blood vessels, and internal organs—all of these, combined with the life imprint contained within Li Qingshan's own undying spiritual light, and the various laws of heaven and earth he drew upon and comprehended from this strange starry sea, this Divine Spring, and this golden lotus, are all condensed together!
This is not merely a physical rebirth, but a sublimation and evolution of a Sacred Body.
As the Divine Embryo gradually took shape, its blurry humanoid outline became clearer and clearer, and the aura it emitted became increasingly terrifying.
A powerful suction force emanated from within the Divine Embryo, frantically seizing the essence of heaven and earth gathered from the lotus platform.
Just as the Divine Embryo was completely solidified, Li Qingshan's cultivation level, which had been dormant for more than ten years and was almost obliterated, was restored.
Like a volcano that has been suppressed to its limit, it finally found an outlet and began a rapid and earth-shattering surge!
"Boom!"
It was as if the first thunderclap at the Heaven-Opening had exploded from within the divine body! It was a sign that the Bitter Sea had returned!
A vast, boundless Bitter Sea of suffering, radiating golden light, burst open in the lower abdomen of the Divine Embryo!
Its scale far surpassed any period in his history, with dark waves Heaven-Overturning, containing unimaginable, boundless life force and divine power.
Amidst the surging waves, chaotic lightning intertwined and flickered, tearing apart the Void of the Bitter Sea and evolving the profound mysteries of destruction and rebirth!
In the center of the Bitter Sea, the Divine Bridge connecting the Wheel of Life is like a seven-colored Divine Rainbow spanning the star field. It is incredibly solid and wide, directly piercing through the Bitter Sea and connecting to a deeper secret realm.
The Dao Palace Secret Realm roared in response!
The five Divine Treasures —heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys—opened simultaneously, transforming into five dazzling Dao Palace and temples!
Within the temple, the five elements condensed, and five vaguely defined divine figures, each radiating the ultimate aura of the corresponding five elements, sat cross-legged, chanting the Dao Scripture and regulating the five elements' circulation within the Divine Embryo, ensuring a flawless and perfect energy cycle.
The changes did not stop there.
Just as the perfect cycle of the five internal organs and the five elements was stabilized, a more profound and transcendent Daoist aura emanated from the depths of Li Qingshan's revived sea of consciousness and from the Immortal Platform.
That is the supreme mystery of the " Western Emperor Scripture," which transcends the tangible nature of the Five Elements and begins to affect his life essence and the trajectory of time and space.
"Buzz!!!"
