Chapter 9: Breakthrough and Reconstruction, Physical Body Realm Breaks Through to the Great Luo Leve
The real challenge, without a doubt, is only just beginning.
The previous hardships seemed like just an appetizer.
He stood up and once again voluntarily dispelled the protective aura of the Wood elemental energy surrounding him.
It was decided to use this ginseng fruit tree body, which had been tempered and refined through the "True Scripture of Yi Wood" and the pressure of Pangu, and had just incorporated the insights of the Four Symbols.
He used only his physical strength to confront the ever-growing, omnipresent pressure of Pangu, which had become increasingly terrifying and almost solidified into a giant wall.
Every step was a hundred times more difficult than at the foot of the mountain, and the higher you went, the more the pressure increased not linearly, but exponentially!
The air was heavy and viscous like mercury, not only pressing down on the body surface, but also seemingly possessing a spirit, penetrating deep into the bone marrow, grinding every bone fragment, and even affecting the primordial spirit and sea of consciousness, attempting to extinguish the light within.
The mountain wind howled wildly, but brought no coolness whatsoever. Instead, it was like countless invisible, sharp blades tempered with chaotic energy, relentlessly cutting into his skin.
It makes a sickening "hissing" sound.
The occasional wisps of hazy, chaotic energy mixed in are extremely dangerous, their annihilation properties easily turning ordinary acquired spiritual treasures into dust.
The Lord of Longevity was single-minded, her mind clear and focused, devoting all her attention to perceiving and resisting the endless pressure, carefully experiencing every subtle change and adaptation of her physical body under this extreme pressure.
His steps were slow and steady, like an old farmer tilling the land.
Each step left a shallow, almost imperceptible footprint on the solid, timeless Buzhou Mountain rocks.
It was immediately smoothed over by the omnipresent and eternally exerting pressure, as if no one had ever set foot there.
Beneath the skin, the vibrant, boundless primordial radiance of the Wood element flows at high speed.
Like the most intricate loom, it continuously repairs the minute damage torn apart by the oppressive force and chaotic airflow.
It's as if this terrifying, destructive pressure is reversed and transformed, its essence absorbed and transformed into the best energy to temper the body and remove impurities, pounding every inch of flesh and bone.
Gradually, he entered a mysterious and elusive state of selflessness.
The sense of time passing in the outside world becomes completely blurred, and the surrounding scenery seems to fade in color, turning into a blurry background.
All that remained was the winding mountain road ahead, seemingly leading to the top of the sky, and the immense pressure that pressed in from all directions, from top to bottom and left to right. This pressure itself became the only clear "existence".
His consciousness was highly focused and pure, yet it seemed to transcend the constraints of the external world. All distracting thoughts, even the thought of purpose, were eliminated, leaving only the purest instinctive intention of "upward" and "climbing".
The rhythm of breathing and footsteps gradually become one, harmonious and natural. Each inhalation is as heavy as a collapsing mountain, and each exhalation carries the subtle impurities and energy forced out of the body by extreme pressure.
He forgot himself, forgot why he came, and even forgot what pain was. His entire body and mind, spirit and flesh were completely immersed in the struggle, adaptation, and even a slight fusion with the remnants of the divine mountain formed from the spine of the great god Pangu.
This is the state of selflessness that cultivators of the primordial era have always dreamed of.
Under the blessing of this profound realm, his control over his physical body reached an unprecedented level of subtlety, and he was aware of every muscle tremor and every drop of blood flowing.
His mastery of the "Yi Mu Zhen Jing" became increasingly refined and natural, approaching the realm of Tao. Every bit of magical power was used in the most critical areas where it was necessary to maintain vitality and transform pressure, resulting in increased efficiency and extremely low losses.
That immense, overwhelming pressure, enough to crush stars, was no longer a mere obstacle or hardship, but rather the best and most luxurious whetstone.
It polished his immortal body and forged his unwavering heart toward the Dao.
However, as the pillar supporting the sky, Mount Buzhou's oppressive power seems limitless and endless.
After climbing for an unknown amount of time, crossing countless treacherous cliffs that could cause even a Taiyi Golden Immortal to perish, and passing through countless swirling clouds of chaotic mist that could corrode the bones and destroy the soul, Wanshou Yuanjun was suddenly and forcibly awakened from that state of blissful oblivion!
An unprecedented, terrifying pressure, far exceeding any previous moment, capable of shattering vast stars and collapsing the void for thousands of miles, suddenly descended upon him, as if the weight of the entire primordial world had instantly been superimposed on his body!
"Click... Buzz..."
It wasn't the ear-piercing sound of bones breaking, but rather the groans and violent tremors emanating from every tiny particle deep within his body that constituted his Dao body, as if it were struggling under immense pressure!
It seemed that in the next instant, his body, which had undergone countless trials and tribulations, would be completely crushed, disintegrated, and transformed into the purest innate spiritual energy of this mountain, returning to the world.
Intense, life-originating pain swept over him like a tidal wave, violently assaulting his primordial spirit and nearly drowning his clear mind.
Fine beads of blood uncontrollably seeped from his skin, only to be crushed into nothingness by the terrifying pressure. The azure light of the Yi Wood that protected its master flickered violently, like a candle in a storm, ready to dissipate at any moment.
The magical power of a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal within him appeared so insignificant and woeful in the face of such vast and boundless power of heaven and earth; it could only barely contract, desperately protecting his heart meridian and the core of his primordial spirit.
His physical body had already reached the absolute limit that the current Taiyi realm could withstand! Taking even the slightest step forward would result in his body being shattered to pieces, his Dao foundation being damaged, or even collapsing!
Retreat? Perhaps we can retreat a little. As long as we leave this core area where the pressure is strongest, the oppressive force will lessen, and we can get a chance to catch our breath and slowly recover with the life force of Yi Wood.
But in Wanshou Yuanjun's eyes, after the initial intense pain, flashed an extreme determination and resolve.
How could one easily retreat from the path of enlightenment? Instead of retreating, he completely withdrew the power of a peak Taiyi Golden Immortal within his body, no longer using it for any external resistance, but instead retracting it entirely to tightly protect his heart meridian and the core of his primordial spirit.
At the same time, he surging his blood and qi throughout his body, looked up to the sky and let out a long, deep roar like that of an ancient beast. The roar contained all his indomitable will, his desire for the peak of the Great Dao, and his ultimate pursuit of a truly powerful physical body!
He was about to completely open himself up and surrender himself to that destructive pressure, wanting to force out the infinite potential hidden deep within his life on the edge of this extreme destruction and death, and achieve a nirvana rebirth on the physical level!
"boom--!!!"
As if at the beginning of chaos, a grand roar, like the explosion of the universe, erupted from the deepest part of his body!
This is not a breakthrough in the realm of magic power, but a resonance with the Great Dao brought about by the ultimate leap in the level of life and the origin of the physical body!
It is the strongest voice in the evolution of life!
The physical barrier between the Taiyi Golden Immortal and the Daluo Golden Immortal that had long hindered him shattered in that moment of life-or-death struggle!
Endless innate spiritual energy, as if drawn by an invisible force, surged and converged towards him.
Even in the oppressive and extremely stable environment of Buzhou Mountain, a brief, distorted vortex of spiritual energy was forcibly torn apart.
His physical body, like parched earth receiving rain after a long drought, greedily devoured this purest primordial energy, and his skin, which was on the verge of collapse and bleeding, instantly healed.
It also radiates an unprecedented crystal-clear luster, with the skin, flesh, bones, internal organs, blood vessels, and even the smallest cellular particles undergoing a fundamental, transformative metamorphosis and sublimation.
An unprecedented sense of power surged from the deepest part of his body, as if a single punch could pierce through the void and a stomp could shake the ancient mountains and rivers.
This is a pure, unreliant power that originates from the very essence of life! It is one of the ultimate manifestations of power!
His physical cultivation has now reached the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal!
Although his magical power cultivation and Dao realm comprehension are still at the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, he has not been able to break through at the same time.
However, with this newly formed, newly-entered Great Luo body alone, its absolute strength, explosive power, self-recovery speed, and resistance to external damage are already more than ten times greater than before!
They have truly acquired the formidable strength to break through magic with brute force and directly confront ordinary Grand Luo Golden Immortals!
The Lord of Longevity stood in place, his blood and qi surging and roaring like that of an ancient dragon, emitting the resounding sound of the Great Dao. His boundless blood and qi, mixed with the pure vitality of the Yi Wood, soared into the sky.
It forcibly dispersed the heavy, lead- and mercury-like pressure of Pangu around it for a brief period, forming a distorted vacuum zone several meters in diameter.
He carefully experienced the earth-shattering, almost reconstructed changes to his physical body, and boundless emotions welled up in his heart. This Buzhou Mountain was indeed an extremely dangerous and deadly place, but it was also an unparalleled treasure land for body tempering! Fortune and misfortune are intertwined, and there is no greater truth than this.
