Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1385: Chapter 745: Great Success of Dharma Body, One Punch Startles the Enemy!

The sky was clear and the Great Sun hung high in the sky.

A massive vortex of cloud floated above the Wolong Mountain Range, casting a vast shadow on the ground.

The vortex of clouds was entirely composed of nature’s spiritual energy, gathering an immeasurable amount of it within.

The massive spiritual energy vortex reached the Heavenly Vault above, and connected with the Hidden Dragon Valley below, like a giant pillar connecting heaven and earth, standing proudly among the mountains.

Half a year ago, the spiritual energy vortex had just begun to manifest, but by today it had already covered a span of thousands of miles, drawing countless people to exclaim in awe and astonishment.

Despite the Divine Artisan Zhao Clan’s efforts to seal the news from outsiders, such a grand celestial phenomenon could hardly be hidden from the world.

Four or five months ago, suspicious individuals began to appear on the periphery of the Wolong Mountain Range, and as the spiritual energy vortex grew larger, the number of spies sent by other forces also increased, becoming more active and brazen by the day.

Seeing it could no longer be concealed, the Zhao Family simply announced a mountain closure to outsiders, directly activating the Mountain Protection Array, sealing off its core territory, including the Hidden Dragon Valley.

Yet… Zhao Jinmin, Zhao San Yue, and other Divinity Transformation members of the Zhao Clan were completely unaware that behind a cloud over a hundred miles above the spiritual energy vortex, there lurked an individual with an unfathomable aura.

This person sat cross-legged in the void with closed eyes, surrounded by wisps of breeze, sensing every mysterious transformation within the vortex of clouds.

If Zhao San Yue were here, they would instantly recognize this person as Feng Bo Jie Xing, the Returning to Void Ancestor they had seen once at the Kunyuan Meeting!

Feng Bo Jie Xing was evidently stirred by the celestial phenomenon, prompting him to secretly come and investigate.

No one knew how long he had been lurking here, nor what he had discovered.

But one thing was certain, Feng Bo Jie Xing’s presence here was not with good intentions.

At this time, within the Yuxu Cave Mansion beneath the Hidden Dragon Valley, Zhao Sheng was enveloped in a dense spirit cloud, oblivious to everything happening outside.

Around the Jade Pond, rays of source energy flowed continuously into the hundreds of apertures across his body, his Will transforming into blazing light beams that constantly washed over every inch of his internal and external tissues, gradually inducing a transformation in his myriad primordial cells.

Zhao Sheng had been tempering his body for many years, and now he had reached the most critical moment, a qualitative leap was on the horizon.

As time went on, his body began to glow with a crystalline transparency, resembling an exquisite flawless crystal, his body apertures like Xing Dou shining brilliantly, his meridians and blood vessels were like crystal rivers running through his body, flesh and skin gleaming like jade and nearly transparent, bones and organs almost completely visible, radiating a gentle and bright golden light.

The intense and dazzling Will light abruptly turned from virtual to actual, solidifying into a fierce “flame”, burning his entire being inside and out, transforming him into a being of flame and light.

At that moment, Zhao Sheng suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled a long murky black breath from his mouth, and the surrounding Mystic Crystal Origin Qi immediately ignited explosively like oil drenched in sparks.

Fiery light violently surged, producing an indescribable transformation within, clusters of source energy flames burned fiercely, endlessly following the guidance of his Original Spirit, scorching every primordial cell in Zhao Sheng’s body.

As the last shred of impurity was expelled, his body grew more pure and transparent, nearly flawless.

In the sky above Wolong Mountain Range, the spiritual energy vortex seemed to be suddenly “ignited”, starting from inside out, it burst into splendid flame light, with countless auspicious lights emanating from within, presenting a spectacular scene of steaming clouds and celestial flames illuminating the Heavenly Vault.

In essence, the golden skin and jade bones sought a state of purity and flawlessness, refining a flawless Dharma Body from an acquired state.

Such an acquired Dharma Body, though not as naturally endowed as the Acquired Dao Body, was crucial for future cultivation!

Once the Golden Skin Jade Bone Dharma Body achieved Great Success, its significance lay not in a drastic increase in physical strength, nor in a significant extension of Life Span.

Its core was the increased resonance between the physical body and the Taoist Law, allowing the person to align more with nature’s spiritual energy and their cultivated Tao, thus facilitating comprehension and mastery of the Power of Laws.

It could be said that the Golden Skin Jade Bone Dharma Body was inspired by the legendary Innate Taoist Body. The more it resonated with the Innate Taoist Body, the easier it was to comprehend the Taoist Law, directly influencing how far one could progress on the path of cultivation.

Zhao Sheng’s cultivation was only at the Returning to Void Seventh Layer, yet he managed to cultivate the Golden Skin Jade Bone Dharma Body to Great Success, naturally related to his body reconstruction and the cultivation of the ‘Big and Small Ruyi Immortal Skill’.

Looking down at the celestial phenomenon of auspicious light soaring to the sky, Feng Bo Jie Xing’s expression abruptly changed, exclaiming: “The Dharma Body is complete, heavenly light appears!… It’s him, he’s back!”

By “him”, this person was certainly not referring to Zhao Sheng, but to Zhao Xuanjing, known as the “Divine Artisan”.

Only Zhao Xuanjing could cause Feng Bo Jie Xing to react so dramatically, rooted in his profound fear of Zhao Xuanjing.

The Divine Artisan Zhao Clan’s establishment in Yellow Wind Immortal City was not without challenges, going through countless bloody battles in its early years.

Especially before Zhao Xuanjing broke through to Returning to Void, he single-handedly fought all Divinity Transformation True Monarchs in the Spirit Domain to secure a foothold for the Zhao Clan, firmly establishing its most crucial foundation in the Wolong Mountain Range.

And Feng Bo Jie Xing, having been beaten numerous times by Zhao Xuanjing in the past, had long since developed a deep shadow in his heart towards him.
