"You mean, the Divine Cauldron can extract the essence of another person's physique?"
"That's not all."
Xiaoxiao Dragon opened his palm, and a wisp of illusory golden light condensed in his palm.
"Once the second function is activated, you can put the corpse of a person with a special physique into the Divine Cauldron."
" The Divine Cauldron will refine away flesh, spiritual power, and remnants of the divine soul, retaining only the purest essence of the body."
"After being reshaped by the Divine Cauldron, that source will lose its original owner's mark and will no longer reject your physical body."
"At that time, you will be able to integrate it into the Myriad Poison Tyrant Body."
"The new physique not only retains the original abilities of the Myriad Poison Tyrant Body, but also gains some characteristics of another physique."
Chu Yunfei remained silent.
But he already understood what this ability meant.
It retains the original characteristics of the Myriad Poison Tyrant Body and then integrates other special physical constitutions.
In this way, the upper limit of the Myriad Poison Tyrant Body no longer exists.
As long as he possesses sufficient physical constitution, he can undergo transformation time and time again.
A person of average physical condition can transform into someone of superior physical condition.
Above the highest level, there is the ultimate physique.
Even a divine body.
As for what level he can ultimately grow to, even Chu Yunfei cannot predict.
This is no longer just about physical enhancement.
Instead, they are rebuilding the foundation of their own cultivation.
"No wonder you didn't recommend that I directly absorb the Soul-Devouring Nether Poison."
The dark gold patterns on Chu Yunfei's body slowly flowed.
"If we push the Myriad Poison Tyrant Body to its limit now, the Myriad Poison Origin will become too dominant when we fuse it with other physiques later."
"The newly integrated constitution will likely only become a subordinate element."
Xiaoxiao Dragon gave a soft snort.
"I finally understand."
"I don't want to see you guarding the Divine Cauldron of Heavenly Mandate, only to end up turning yourself into a monster that can only spew poison."
Chu Yunfei completely ignored the second half of her sentence.
"This effect is achieved by fusing with ordinary spirits."
"If one were to fuse with an innate divine body, wouldn't that allow one to directly leapfrog several levels?"
In the True Martial Continent, special physical constitutions are generally referred to as spiritual bodies.
In the Upper Realm, only those who truly stand at the pinnacle of physical constitution are qualified to be called divine bodies.
The gap between the two is far greater than the gap between an ordinary martial artist and a genius.
You wish!
Xiaoxiao Dragon rudely interrupted his thoughts.
"Physical constitutions also vary in strength."
"The power that the Myriad Poison Tyrant Body can withstand has its limits. During your first transformation, if the source you fuse with is too strong, your physical body will be the first to give way."
"Furthermore, the Divine Cauldron can only eliminate the repulsion between origins; it cannot complete the entire process for you."
"You will have to bear the consequences of each integration yourself."
"Physical body remodeled, soul refined."
"The slightest mistake will still result in death."
Chu Yunfei remained calm.
As long as we can succeed, enduring some pain is nothing.
The physical trials he endured in his previous life were far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
No matter how painful the physical reconstruction was, it could not shake his will.
"And the Son of Heavenly Mandate and the Daughter of Heavenly Mandate?"
Chu Yunfei recalled the changes that occurred when the Divine Cauldron of Heavenly Mandate first awakened.
Lin Wanyin is Daughter of Heavenly Mandate.
It was only after cultivating together with her that the Divine Cauldron of Heavenly Mandate truly unlocked its ability to refine all things and achieve a tenfold increase in the speed of time.
The Heavenly Mandate Origin is clearly different from the origin of ordinary physical constitution.
Xiaoxiao Dragon saw through his thoughts.
"Those destined for greatness are favored by the heavens and earth; their essence often contains many unique characteristics, far exceeding that of ordinary people."
" The Divine Cauldron can also refine this kind of origin."
"By simply placing the corpse of the chosen one into the Divine Cauldron, we can extract their Heavenly Mandate Origin."
"If the other party also possesses a special physique, those inherent characteristics can also be preserved."
Chu Yunfei's breathing became slightly heavy.
Seize the Heavenly Mandate Origin.
This method goes beyond the scope of ordinary cultivation techniques and treasures.
It even involves robbing a person of the destiny bestowed upon them by heaven and earth.
The origin of the Divine Cauldron of Heavenly Mandate is probably even more astonishing than he had previously speculated.
"Not even living people?"
"Of course not."
Xiaoxiao Dragon gave a soft hum.
Even if the second function is activated, one cannot arbitrarily refine living people.
"Living beings possess complete consciousness; once the refining process begins, their soul, body, and essence will all resist."
The stronger the physique, the more fierce the resistance.
"Forcing the refinement will only cause the body's essence to collapse prematurely, and in severe cases, it may even backfire on the owner of the Divine Cauldron."
"Only after death, when the soul and body lose their dominance, can the Divine Cauldron fully extract the essence of the body."
Chu Yunfei nodded.
This ability is indeed extraordinary, but it cannot be used casually.
Those with special physical constitutions are already rare.
The physique that the Divine Cauldron of Heavenly Mandate would deem acceptable is extremely rare.
He would naturally not let anyone with a special physique from the opposing camp get away with it.
As for actively slaughtering people who have no grudge against him for the sake of his physical constitution, he wouldn't be so desperate as to eat them indiscriminately.
How did you know these things?
Chu Yunfei suddenly asked, "If the Divine Cauldron of Heavenly Mandate has never truly recognized a master, then no one should have activated its second function."
Xiaoxiao Dragon quieted down.
Her illusory figure hovered deep within her consciousness, her expression now showing a hint of complexity.
After a moment, she spoke.
"My royal family has guarded the Divine Cauldron of Heavenly Mandate for generations."
Information about the Divine Cauldron is inscribed in the bloodline inheritance.
"However, by the time it reached my generation, much of the content had become incomplete."
Chu Yunfei looked at her but didn't immediately press for answers.
Xiaoxiao Dragon had previously mentioned some of his own experiences.
In retrospect, it was no accident that she resided in the Divine Cauldron of Heavenly Mandate.
Why does your clan Divine Cauldron?
Knowing this now won't do you any good.
Xiaoxiao Dragon regained his arrogant demeanor and raised his hand to dispel the golden light in his palm.
"When you are old enough to know, I will tell you."
"You haven't even reached the Dao Mysterious Realm yet. Knowing too much will only bring you trouble."
Chu Yunfei did not press the matter further.
Since Xiaoxiao Dragon is unwilling to talk about it, asking again will not yield any answers.
His attention returned to Ling Zhantian.
The Soul-Devouring Nether Poison has accumulated over many years and is now perfectly suited for refining in the Divine Cauldron.
As for the Myriad Poison Tyrant Body, its current capabilities are sufficient; there's no need to rush to push it to its limit.
What is the third core function?
Chu Yunfei suddenly asked.
Xiaoxiao Dragon was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud in an annoyance.
"You brat, you haven't even activated the second level of functionality yet, and you're already eyeing the third?"
"With such a huge appetite, aren't you afraid of stuffing yourself to death?"
Knowing in advance makes preparation easier.
What should we prepare?
Xiaoxiao Dragon glanced at him.
You haven't met the conditions for activating the second core function yet.
Chu Yunfei frowned slightly.
What do you need?
Xiaoxiao Dragon looked at him, his tone displeased.
Didn't I tell you this before?
"The threshold for opening the second seal is the Heavenly Mandate Origin."
"Or, take the primordial yin of another Daughter of Heavenly Mandate."
"Or, kill a Son of Heavenly Mandate and seize their essence from the Divine Cauldron!"
