Chapter 800 - 562: Flesh is Weak_2
Chapter 800: Chapter 562: Flesh is Weak_2
So just think about it, even such a powerful body cultivator feels that he has chosen the wrong path. For other cultivators who aren’t even as strong as him, this oppression from the Great Tao must be incredibly despairing.
Especially for cultivators at Chen Zhixing’s current level.
That is to say, him.
If it were a body cultivator like Huayu here, he would probably go crazy for hundreds of years because of the words of this Drought Fiend without any relief!
Li Er is like this, Yimiao is not much better. In comparison, Wang Chuan might fare a bit better. After all, he has spent time in the Spirit Realm and knows some of its inside information. Knowing the future difficulty of physical body cultivation, he would compare it with the Spirit Realm’s path of cultivating Golden Nature, ultimately concluding that spirit body cultivation is not easy either.
Yes, whether it’s the physical body or the spirit body, cultivation is not easy. The higher one’s cultivation, the deeper this understanding becomes.
Otherwise, even after more than fifty thousand years in the Celestial Profound Realm, not a single ’Immortal’ has ever appeared.
"Forget it, since I’ve got this Drought Fiend, I’ll go to the Celestial Saint Palace when I have time to ask the Celestial Saint what he thinks. Anyway, it doesn’t have much significance for me. Whether it’s the path of the physical body or the path of the spirit body, they are the same path for me right now."
Chen Zhixing has a clear understanding of himself.
As a Chaos Body of the Longevity Realm, for him now, the path of the physical body and the path of the spirit body are not important because to enhance the physical body, he needs to strengthen the spirit body, and the purpose of strengthening the spirit body is to control Chaotic Qi more easily. In other words, for him now, these two paths are the same path, and what he can do is to enhance his spirit body.
As long as the spirit body is strong enough, his Chaos Body will strengthen along with it, marching forward together without the concept of strengths or weaknesses.
And for him now, the best way to enhance his spirit body is to comprehend all the myriad Daos of the world. As his insights into the Great Tao deepen, the more Daos he can control, the stronger his spirit body becomes.
This is a path of positive inner cycle.
And the endpoint of this path is still extremely long for him.
In the Taoist Lord system of the Celestial Profound Realm, only upon reaching the highest twentieth order can one break through to attain the Tao, having walked a Great Tao to its extreme, leaving the realm successfully can be called perfect achievement.
But for Chen Zhixing.....
"All the myriad Daos of the world, as long as I wish, I can cultivate them all, and after cultivating all the Great Tao of the Celestial Profound Realm, I can go to the Starry Sky and start all over again. It’s safe to say, for me now, the end of cultivation still cannot be seen, there’s simply no such thing as the end of the path encountered by the Drought Fiend, where there’s no more path to be cultivated."
After saying this, Chen Zhixing, calmed and collected, once again released his vast Divine Sense, carefully scanning the large True Flow Layer surrounding the magma pool, ensuring there were no omissions before turning and leaving.
...
Five days later.
Celestial Saint Palace.
The Celestial Saint, who was supposed to be in seclusion digesting the Innate Life Extension Pill, chose to break seclusion to meet with Chen Zhixing upon learning of his arrival.
In the grand hall, seeing Chen Zhixing release the black coffin containing the Drought Fiend, there was no surprise in the Celestial Saint’s eyes.
After observing closely for a moment, he happily said to Chen Zhixing:
"Considerate of you, knowing that this old man still needs a good coffin for my collection, you’ve found this Immortal coffin made of Upper Upper Grade Soul Nourishing Wood for me, good child, since you have this intention, I’ll accept this black coffin."
Saying this, the Celestial Saint reached out to touch the black coffin, appearing truly willing to encase himself in this coffin after death.
Chen Zhixing: "..."
Quickly placing his hand on the black coffin, Chen Zhixing, with an unpleasant expression, looked at the Celestial Saint and said:
"In terms of lifespan, between us, Celestial Saint senior, it’s really uncertain who’ll go first."
"Hmm? Aren’t you here to deliver a coffin for this old man?"
Hearing this, the Celestial Saint seemed a bit surprised: "Then why have you come to seek this old man? Don’t tell me you want me to study together with you the Drought Fiend inside this coffin."
"Otherwise?" Chen Zhixing’s eyebrows twitched.
"Don’t think about it, it’s unnecessary. This thing is truly dead. You tell me what burial site could be better than the Celestial Profound Realm, rules here aren’t sufficient even for our own people in the Three Great Sacred Lands, let alone extra for it.... ahem, ahem ahem...."
Seemingly realizing he had misspoken, the Celestial Saint feigned sternness and said seriously: "Anyway, I’ve explained the reasoning to you. This Drought Fiend is beyond saving and has no research value. I assume you examined it before bringing it here, is its Sea of Consciousness already emptied? Haha, attempting to play god after coming to our Celestial Profound Realm. In fifty thousand years, it’s the first time this old man has seen such an idiot coming to deliver themselves."
Undoubtedly, the Celestial Saint was correct.
In the moment this Drought Fiend successfully reincarnated, its nascent ’Divinity’ clashed with the Celestial Profound Realm’s Spirit Realm system, followed by a collision with the entire Spiritual Realm system. As for the result, well, the longevity realm entities of the Celestial Profound Realm haven’t even felt anything for all these years, you can imagine how miserably the Drought Fiend died.....
But how could Chen Zhixing not know this?
"That’s not it, forget it, I’ll release it and let you hear for yourself."
"What?"
Under the curious gaze of the Celestial Saint, Chen Zhixing removed the seal on the black coffin, and as it opened, the sounds of ’weak flesh and blood, spiritual body ascension’ began to echo within the grand hall.
This time, the Celestial Saint’s expression shifted from casual to serious upon hearing the sound emanating from the Drought Fiend’s form.
After a long while.
The Celestial Saint let out a sigh of relief, then motioned to Chen Zhixing:
"Put it away, add several more seals, and remember not to casually bring this thing out in the future. For beings like me, hearing its sound can easily lead to losing control."
"Hmm, okay."
Chen Zhixing nodded, refrained from speaking further, and used the Star Formation Sealing Method to reinforce the seal on the black coffin, storing it in the small green bottle and firmly suppressing it within with the Dharma Body there.
Even at this moment, Chen Zhixing felt somewhat fortunate.
Why?
Because just a moment ago, Chen Zhixing observed that after the Celestial Saint heard the demonic sound from within, the remaining thoughts within his form showed signs of continued disorientation, seeming both unstable as if they could extinguish at any moment and precariously close to falling into a state of madness.
It was only due to the profound foundation of the Celestial Saint and the dual support of Heavenly Dao and Human Tao within the Celestial Profound Realm that if it had been another Longevity Realm living dead here, having just heard that piece of demonic sound would have resulted in either a direct Silent Extinction or turning into a Demon Corpse rampaging in the Mortal World!
After a while, the Celestial Saint seemed to have rested well, beginning to inquire about the origin of this Drought Fiend.
"This Drought Fiend, you retrieved it from the Snowfield Plateau, right?"
"No," Chen Zhixing shook his head: "This coffin was within the plateau, the Drought Fiend was something I captured from deep within the True Flow Layer five days ago."
"I see."
The Celestial Saint thought for a moment, then seemingly realizing something, nodded: "So it turns out, you’ve eliminated a potential calamity for the Celestial Profound. If not for today’s event, this black coffin and Drought Fiend might have caused a Longevity Demon Tribulation a thousand years later, starting from East Profound and ending in West Profound, lasting three hundred years, a disaster that would claim countless lives."
Chen Zhixing, hearing this, opened his mouth slightly.
What had this old man just done?
Right under his nose, directly using his connection with the Spirit Realm and the authority of his own Five Elements Taoist Lord, utilizing the power of heaven and humanity, engaged the Celestial Saint Palace in a grand deduction of the future!!!
Although to the naked eye, it only appeared as the Celestial Saint briefly contemplating.
But Chen Zhixing possessed the authority of a Taoist Lord!
Just now, when the Celestial Saint was thinking, a vast force of rules filled the entire palace, and upon rising, it was as though a terrifying existence was manifesting from the Spirit Realm into the present world, injecting an almost infinite amount of Tao Practice into this Taoist Palace to assist in projecting the future of the Celestial Profound Realm!
