Chapter 192: Perfection In A Single Day, Divine Body Finally Formed!
“Rumble.”
Three giant hands suddenly enveloped the Immortal Mansion and firmly grasped it.
However, the Immortal Mansion immediately vibrated violently, with circles of light spreading in all directions.
The surrounding void seemed to warp.
Everyone looked up at this scene and felt immensely shocked.
“Whose treasure is that Immortal Mansion? It can actually contend with three such terrifying powerhouses?”
“Didn’t they just kill a Primordial Chaos Divine Monarch? Now this Immortal Mansion can actually resist three powerhouses?”
“The Immortal Mansion seems to have come from the Wind Thunder Sect, could it be the Wind Thunder Sect’s treasure?”
Many people did not know whose treasure the Immortal Mansion truly was.
However, suddenly, a layer of white light radiated from the Immortal Mansion.
At the same time, a blade instantly materialized within the white light.
It was a blade formed by the Power of Return to Void!
Seeing this, many people in Heavenly Desolation City understood.
“It’s Ji Qing from the Wind Thunder Sect…”
Indeed, Ji Qing was inside the Immortal Mansion.
And he had indeed made a move.
Ji Qing could not contend with Void Comprehension Realm powerhouses, but he had the Power of Return to Void.
Caught off guard, even the power of the three Void Comprehension Realm powerhouses was decomposed by Ji Qing’s Power of Return to Void.
It was precisely by taking advantage of this momentary gap that the Immortal Mansion instantly broke through the void.
“Swish.”
The Immortal Mansion disappeared.
It had already traveled through space and left.
The three Void Comprehension Realm powerhouses were somewhat surprised.
They hadn’t expected that even though they had already seized the Immortal Mansion, the other party could still travel through space and escape?
“The cultivator controlling this Immortal Mansion has very low cultivation, likely not even Spirit Transformation, just Nascent Soul. She can’t travel through space to any great distance, pursue!”
“That strange power earlier, it could decompose our Magic Power. It seems to be the power of the Martial Dao System, is there a Martial Artist inside the Immortal Mansion?”
“Interesting, this Heavenly Desolation City is truly interesting! However, let’s catch up to the Immortal Mansion first. As long as we can capture this Immortal Mansion, then we won’t have come all this way for nothing!”
The three Void Comprehension Realm powerhouses had left a trace of their aura within the Immortal Mansion, so they could simply track it by following the aura.
As for traveling through space, that was even easier for them.
Thus, the three Void Comprehension Realm powerhouses directly tore through space and traveled away.
Conversely, they paid no heed to Heavenly Desolation City.
Once they obtained the Immortal Mansion, they would come back to Heavenly Desolation City to ransack it.
At this moment, the Immortal Mansion was traveling through space.
True Monarch Baoyue was controlling it with all her might.
But she was ultimately just a Nascent Soul cultivator; she herself didn’t understand space travel, how could she control the Immortal Mansion?
Actually, if True Monarch Baoyue could be promoted to Spirit Transformation and possess a Primordial Spirit, then controlling the Immortal Mansion would be much easier.
At that time, with the Primordial Spirit integrated into the Immortal Mansion, and the Immortal Mansion traveling through space, even Void Comprehension powerhouses couldn’t catch up.
It was a pity that True Monarch Baoyue was still far from Spirit Transformation.
Even after cultivating in the Grotto-heaven for a period, Spirit Transformation wasn’t something that could be reached just by wishing for it.
If it were by Ji Qing’s standards, then perhaps no cultivator in the world could compare.
True Monarch Baoyue already had enough opportunities; the Legacy of Xuling Venerable, combined with the Xuling Immortal Mansion, plus the Tianqing Grotto-Heaven and other enhancements, any one of these opportunities would be enough to drive someone mad, let alone possessing all of them?
But even so, for True Monarch Baoyue to attempt to condense a Primordial Spirit, it would take at least ten years or more.
However, there was also good news.
Ji Qing had just made a move.
Purely colliding with the Magic Power of three Void Comprehension Realm powerhouses in the first form of the Power of Return to Void.
The result was that Ji Qing’s first form of the Power of Return to Void could also decompose the Magic Power of Void Comprehension Realm cultivators.
The difference was that Ji Qing’s Power of Return to Void decomposed very slowly.
It seemed that the Magic Power of the Void Comprehension Realm had already undergone a qualitative improvement compared to Spirit Transformation Divine Lords.
Thus, the Power of Return to Void decomposed very slowly.
But no matter how slow the speed, the Power of Return to Void could still decompose it.
This proved that Void Comprehension Realm cultivators might be very strong, but they were not yet strong to the point of despair.
The Immortal Mansion was still traveling.
But True Monarch Baoyue could no longer hold on.
Her Magic Power was completely depleted; it was only with the help of True Lord Tiansheng that True Monarch Baoyue could sustain for such a long time.
But she hadn’t rested for long when True Monarch Baoyue’s expression changed.
“Not good, they’ve caught up…”
True Monarch Baoyue swallowed a large amount of pills to recover her Magic Power, then once again urged the Immortal Mansion to travel through space.
True Monarch Baoyue repeatedly, even using secret techniques to squeeze her Nascent Soul, the Xuling Immortal Mansion finally traveled to the edge of the Desolate Realm.
That was the world membrane.
As long as they passed through the world membrane, they could travel to the Outer Domain.
However, for True Monarch Baoyue to pilot the Immortal Mansion with her mere Nascent Soul cultivation, going to the Outer Domain would be like a child carrying a treasure, a path to certain death.
Therefore, Baoyue stopped.
There were cultivators at the edge of the Desolate Realm as well.
Some Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation cultivators were preparing to leave the Desolate Realm and venture into the Outer Domain.
Upon seeing the Immortal Mansion, their eyes lit up.
“An Immortal Mansion? This Immortal Mansion has such a terrifying aura, could it be a Magic Treasure above Void Comprehension?”
“Why did an Immortal Mansion suddenly stop here?”
“There’s a cultivator controlling this Immortal Mansion, why did it stop at the edge of the world?”
“An Immortal Mansion, judging by the way it’s being controlled, it’s definitely not controlled by a Primordial Spirit, perhaps the cultivator inside isn’t even Spirit Transformation?”
“If the owner of the Immortal Mansion isn’t Spirit Transformation, then they’re likely just Nascent Soul. For such an Immortal Mansion, what right does a mere Nascent Soul have to control it?”
Upon seeing the Immortal Mansion, the Spirit Transformation Divine Lords immediately analyzed some of the situation.
For a moment, a hint of greed flashed in their eyes.
Who among the Spirit Transformation Divine Lords wouldn’t covet such a miraculous Immortal Mansion?
However, before these Spirit Transformation Divine Lords could make a move, ripples appeared in the void.
“Buzz.”
Amidst these spatial ripples, three figures stepped out of the void.
“Eh? They ran to the edge of the Desolate Realm and stopped running?”
These were three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators; they had pursued all the way to the edge of the Desolate Realm by traveling through space.
They also saw the Immortal Mansion at the edge of the Desolate Realm.
Judging by the appearance, the cultivator inside the Immortal Mansion was no longer planning to flee.
Seeing these three cultivators, the Spirit Transformation cultivators of the Desolate Realm’s pupils contracted sharply, feeling a great threat in their hearts.
“Void Comprehension Realm! These are three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators! Since when did the Desolate Realm have three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators?”
A storm of waves surged in the hearts of these Spirit Transformation Divine Lords.
They now knew that this Immortal Mansion was the “prey” of these three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators.
They had been tracked all the way to the edge of the Desolate Realm.
They had actually dared to covet this Immortal Mansion just now.
It was simply courting death!
Thus, these Spirit Transformation Divine Lords retreated one after another, moving away from the Immortal Mansion and also away from the three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators.
The three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators quickly approached the Immortal Mansion.
“Swish.”
A figure suddenly appeared from within the Immortal Mansion.
“Hmm? A Martial Artist?”
The three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators were slightly stunned.
A Martial Artist walked out of the Immortal Mansion, what did he intend to do?
Moreover, they immediately thought of the strange power that could decompose their Magic Power earlier; it belonged to a Martial Artist, and it was likely this mysterious Martial Artist.
“Swish.”
The Martial Artist emerged from the Immortal Mansion, without any hesitation, took a step, and flew into a nearby Great Formation.
“Escaping into a Great Formation will save your life? How naive!”
“In this mere Desolate Realm, the highest cultivation is only Void Comprehension, what Great Formation can withstand the three of us Void Comprehension Realm cultivators?”
The three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators were about to make a move.
Suddenly, one of the Void Comprehension Realm cultivators seemed to have discovered something.
“Wait!”
“What is it?”
The other two Void Comprehension Realm cultivators were very confused.
“Don’t make a move, that Great Formation emits the aura of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory. If I’m not mistaken, that is a Martial Dao Seal laid by the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory, this person has escaped into the Martial Dao Seal.”
“What, the Martial Dao Seal of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory?”
The faces of the three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators changed drastically.
However, mere speculation wouldn’t do.
The three casually reached out.
“Shua.”
The scale of the void seemed to suddenly become very short for Void Comprehension Realm cultivators.
From a great distance, a Spirit Transformation Divine Lord was watching the excitement.
As a result, the void distorted, and he was directly teleported through space to the front of the three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators.
The Spirit Transformation Divine Lord’s expression changed.
But upon seeing the three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators before him, he could only respectfully bow and say, “Greetings to the three seniors, may I ask if you have any commands?”
“Speak, does your Desolate Realm have a Martial Dao Seal of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory?”
The three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators asked directly.
“Yes! And the Martial Dao Seal of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory has existed for a long time, but to this day, no one has been able to break the Martial Dao Seal.”
This was not a secret, so the Spirit Transformation Divine Lord answered directly.
The three fell silent.
Did the Martial Dao Seal of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory truly exist?
That was indeed troublesome.
The people of the Desolate Realm, even if they knew of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory, did not fully understand what the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory represented.
But they were three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators, and they were even born from the Outer Domain, so they naturally knew the terror of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory.
A Martial Dao Seal was both a restraint and a tremendous opportunity!
Clearly, the reason the Immortal Mansion fled here was to send that Martial Artist to challenge the Martial Dao Seal.
The three let the Spirit Transformation Divine Lord leave.
“What should we do now?”
“How can the Martial Dao Seal of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory be easily passed? The cultivator inside the Immortal Mansion is merely struggling in their final moments. Let’s deal with the Immortal Mansion first. Once we obtain the Immortal Mansion, we will immediately leave the Desolate Realm!”
“Indeed, this Immortal Mansion is extraordinary; we must obtain it at all costs.”
“Then let’s attack together and break open the Immortal Mansion as soon as possible, to avoid further complications if time drags on.”
Thus, the three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators no longer held back and directly attacked the Xuling Immortal Mansion.
The attacks of Void Comprehension Realm cultivators were extremely terrifying.
Even the void itself cracked open.
The commotion was immense.
But the Immortal Mansion stood firm, actually able to withstand the attacks of three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators, clearly not an ordinary Immortal Mansion.
Inside the Xuling Immortal Mansion, True Monarch Baoyue was not as relaxed as imagined.
On the contrary, True Monarch Baoyue was merely holding on desperately.
The Immortal Mansion was indeed not broken, but her Magic Power was continuously being consumed.
If her Magic Power ran out, and she could no longer sustain it, the Immortal Mansion would eventually be broken.
Now, True Monarch Baoyue had only one option: wait!
All her hope was placed on Ji Qing.
If Ji Qing could not pass the first trial of the Martial Dao Seal quickly, once the Immortal Mansion was broken, True Monarch Baoyue, True Lord Tiansheng, Black Water Daoist, Zhao Xiaozhu, and others would all die!
Just as the Immortal Mansion was being besieged by the three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators, Ji Qing had already entered the Martial Dao Seal.
Once one stepped into the Martial Dao Seal, they would automatically enter the first trial.
“Buzz.”
Ji Qing’s vision blurred, and when he came to his senses, he found himself standing before thirteen giant stone tablets.
These stone tablets were covered with dense, twisted characters.
Ji Qing did not recognize the characters.
But strangely, as long as Ji Qing looked at the thirteen stone tablets, he could understand the meaning of the text on the tablets through some unseen force.
Ji Qing examined the thirteen stone tablets one by one.
He discovered that these thirteen stone tablets all contained a peculiar martial cultivation technique.
This was the first trial of the Martial Dao Seal—the Comprehension Trial!
It required exceptional comprehension.
The martial arts on these thirteen stone tablets were essentially a means of selecting comprehension, or rather, “compatibility.”
These cultivation techniques not only required comprehension but also compatibility.
If they were not suitable for oneself, then no matter how high one’s comprehension was, it would be useless.
To pass the first trial of the Martial Dao Seal, one had to cultivate the martial arts on the thirteen stone tablets.
One only needed to pick any one martial art, and reaching the beginner stage would be considered passing the first trial.
If one could achieve Minor Accomplishment or even Major Accomplishment, the evaluation would be higher, and they would be more valued by the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory.
Ji Qing understood the rules of the first trial in his heart.
Cultivate martial arts!
“My time is very tight now, I must reach the beginner stage of the martial arts on the stone tablets as quickly as possible!”
“Then I’ll see which stone tablet I am compatible with.”
Ji Qing began to examine the martial arts on these thirteen stone tablets.
Ji Qing was unaware that three figures were watching his every move through layers of formations.
These three were the “Observers” of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory.
In truth, the role of an Observer was a sinecure.
Its purpose was to oversee the Martial Dao Seal and prevent anyone from damaging it.
Once someone passed the Martial Dao Seal, the Observer was also responsible for ensuring their safe delivery to the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory.
In a sense, it was a lucrative position.
This was because anyone who could pass the Martial Dao Seal was highly compatible with the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory and destined to achieve great things within them. As an Observer, one could build a good relationship with them in advance.
But why did a lucrative position gradually devolve into a sinecure?
Anyone who still wished to improve on the martial path was unwilling to take on this idle role.
The reason was simple: the number of people who could pass the Martial Dao Seal was exceedingly small, practically non-existent!
Many Observers might not witness anyone passing the Martial Dao Seal even if an entire Inner World was destroyed.
Over time, within the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory, “Observers” naturally became a sinecure.
The three Observers in the Desolate Realm had been guarding the Martial Dao Seal for a long time, and they were well aware of everything outside it.
“Heh heh, an interesting martial artist has arrived. Although he’s just a Martial Saint, his fortune is considerable. He’s actually being pursued by three Void Glimpse cultivators and had to flee into the Martial Dao Seal, hoping to pass the first trial and obtain a protective amulet?”
“That Immortal Mansion is quite extraordinary; even Body Integration cultivators can’t stop it. It’s likely a magic treasure of the Tribulation Crossing level. I didn’t expect such a desolate realm to have a magic treasure of this caliber? Could this person be someone with great fortune?”
“Whether he has great fortune is unclear, but after waiting for so many years, in the last thousand years, there have been very few people who even attempted to pass the Martial Dao Seal in the Desolate Realm…”
“If this person can’t pass the first trial of the Martial Dao Seal, he’ll have to face three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators and will surely die! Let’s guess if he can pass the first trial?”
“Difficult…”
The three Observers were discussing amongst themselves.
Such a situation was rare during this long period, so they treated it as a bit of amusement.
They wouldn’t interfere casually.
Unless the person could pass the Martial Dao Seal.
But the hope was slim.
The Desolate Realm was too remote, and it wasn’t even primarily focused on the martial path but rather the immortal path.
They also couldn’t understand why the Martial Dao Seal would be located in the Desolate Realm.
Did the Desolate Realm possess something unique?
The Martial Dao Seal of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory was very special.
Many outsiders were unaware of it; only those within the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory knew.
The Martial Dao Seal was not actively set up by the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory; rather, it independently sought out Inner Worlds and took root.
This “Martial Dao Seal” chose its own worlds.
As for why this was the case, even the Observers did not know.
It was rumored to be a treasure left by the founding Patriarch of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory, capable of independently selecting unique Inner Worlds.
It was said to follow certain unique rules.
However, no one had been able to clarify the specifics over the years.
But one thing was certain: anyone who could pass the Martial Dao Seal was definitely a top heavenly talent most suitable for the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory.
They were the future of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory.
Undoubtedly core members!
Their status within the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory was extremely high.
“It’s been a long time in the Desolate Realm, and it’s quite boring. How about we guess which stone tablet this person will ultimately choose?”
Mentioning this sparked the interest of the three Observers.
These thirteen stone tablets actually represented the “Thirteen Meridians.”
The choice of martial art from which stone tablet, if one could pass the Martial Dao Seal, would determine which Meridian they would join.
The three were truly bored and decided to make a bet, which would serve as some amusement.
Ji Qing was unaware that his every move was being “watched.”
His gaze swept across the thirteen stone tablets.
Ultimately, Ji Qing decided to start with the first stone tablet.
Although he knew that outside, True Monarch Baoyue and others might be under immense pressure, and the three Void Glimpse cultivators were relentlessly attacking the Immortal Mansion,
Ji Qing also understood that he couldn’t rush now.
The more impatient he became, the less likely he was to pass the first trial.
Ji Qing immediately looked towards the first stone tablet.
He carefully examined the contents of the stone tablet, as if trying to engrave every word into his mind.
Ji Qing saw that the first stone tablet’s cultivation technique was named “Sutra of Universal Salvation and Yin Yang Creation.”
The name of the martial art was very long, and the content was extensive.
Ji Qing examined each part carefully.
After finishing, Ji Qing forgot it all.
Not a single impression remained.
This was not normal!
With Ji Qing’s current memory, even if the content were ten or a hundred times more complex, he could remember it firmly after a single glance; photographic memory was already a basic ability.
How could he not remember a single word?
Thus, Ji Qing tried again.
The result was still the same; he couldn’t remember anything.
He forgot it immediately after reading.
Ji Qing pondered.
He then carefully examined the text on the second stone tablet.
The result was the same; after reading it, he couldn’t remember a single word, nor did he have any impression of it.
Ji Qing had a rough idea of what was happening.
The divine skill on these stone tablets was extraordinary; if it wasn’t compatible, no matter how one read or memorized it, it would be useless. He couldn’t even remember the words, let alone cultivate them.
Therefore, the first trial of the Martial Dao Seal tested not only comprehension but also compatibility.
Without compatibility, one didn’t even have the right to cultivate the martial arts on the stone tablets.
Ji Qing’s heart sank slightly.
His greatest advantage was his Origin Points.
But even with Origin Points, he needed to reach the beginner stage.
Reaching the beginner stage required cultivation first.
If he didn’t even have the right to cultivate, then no matter how many Origin Points he had, they would be useless.
Now, Ji Qing could only pray that there was a martial art among these thirteen stone tablets that “matched” him.
Otherwise, his attempt to pass the Martial Dao Seal this time would end in failure.
The third stone tablet, the fourth stone tablet, the fifth stone tablet…
As Ji Qing examined one stone tablet after another, the results were all failures.
He still hadn’t found a stone tablet compatible with Ji Qing.
Time passed slowly.
Ji Qing had already looked at ten stone tablets, and still had no impression.
Ji Qing’s heart sank.
Could it be that he had no compatibility with the martial arts on these stone tablets at all?
Even with Ji Qing’s firm will, in this situation, even the strongest will would waver.
However, when Ji Qing saw the contents of the eleventh stone tablet, his pupils contracted sharply.
For some reason.
As soon as he saw the first word on the eleventh stone tablet, he felt as if that word had “flown” out, crossed the void, and directly entered his brow.
One, two, three, four, five…
Words flew into his brow one by one, appearing in his mind.
Each word shone brightly in his mind, and one after another, they formed a miraculous cultivation technique.
The name of the cultivation technique was simple, only three characters: “Merger Scripture.”
The entire text of this cultivation technique consisted of only one thousand and eighty characters.
Yet, it was profound and vast, containing infinite mysteries.
Crucially, these characters were no longer forgotten after reading, as before.
Instead, they seemed to have “spirituality” and actively flew into Ji Qing’s brow, imprinted on his memory, etched into his bones, impossible to forget no matter what.
Ji Qing had an epiphany and immediately understood what was happening.
He must have “matched” the “Merger Scripture” on the eleventh stone tablet.
And since the characters had spirit, and he was compatible, they had simply imprinted themselves on his memory.
This was truly miraculous.
However, this was only the beginning.
Compatibility alone was not enough; comprehension had to be exceptional to reach the beginner stage.
Thus, Ji Qing immediately began to comprehend the unfathomable “Merger Scripture.”
At this moment, Ji Qing was unaware that the three Observers secretly watching him were all wide-eyed, appearing quite surprised.
“The eleventh stone tablet, the Merger Scripture?”
“Someone in the Desolate Realm is compatible with the Merger Scripture? Are you sure? In all these years of the Martial Dao Seal, no one in the Desolate Realm has been compatible with the Merger Scripture, and it’s even reached the point of ‘divine skill choosing its master’…”
“Incredible. The Merger Scripture is one of the most top-tier methods among the eleven stone tablets. The Spirit Fusion Lineage is one of the upper three lineages of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory…”
“Divine skill choosing its master is truly rare. It remains to be seen how his comprehension is. Even with divine skill choosing its master, comprehension must meet the standard to cultivate this divine skill…”
The three Observers became interested.
This was the first time they had witnessed a “divine skill choosing its master” situation in all their years in the Desolate Realm.
Not every martial art on the stone tablets would “choose its master.”
It required a certain level of compatibility.
At least ninety percent compatibility was necessary to trigger the phenomenon of “divine skill choosing its master.”
The three Observers immediately realized that Ji Qing might be extraordinary and paid even closer attention to his situation.
At this moment, Ji Qing was sorting through the “Merger Scripture” in his mind.
The more he reviewed it, the more peculiar Ji Qing’s expression became.
As the name suggests, the “Merger Scripture” is a method that not only fuses “divinity” but also allows one to fuse “Divine Path Fruits” upon future promotion to Martial God.
Generally, divinity is difficult to “fuse,” and often impossible to “fuse.” Many Martial Saints rely on comprehending divinity to slowly “nurture” their own unique divinity and then use their own divinity to gradually nurture a “Divine Path Fruit” before achieving Martial God.
To “fuse” divinity is not impossible, but it is exceedingly difficult.
It all relies on one’s own comprehension and realization to strengthen their own divinity.
However, the “Merger Scripture” is different.
By continuously fusing other divinities, one’s own divinity grows at an extremely rapid pace, becoming incredibly powerful, thus nurturing an equally powerful Divine Path Fruit.
If one is not satisfied with their Divine Path Fruit?
That’s not a problem either; one can seize the Divine Path Fruits of others and fuse them into their own Divine Path Fruit, thus rapidly strengthening their own Divine Path Fruit.
This is the “Merger Scripture.”
In essence, it is to merge all daos into oneself, achieving one’s own greatness!
What’s the difference between this and how Ji Qing initially drew from the strengths of various schools to forge his Saber Intent?
Essentially, they are the same.
Ji Qing finally understood why the “Merger Scripture” had such high compatibility with him.
This was a divine skill tailor-made for him.
And this kind of divine skill was too overbearing.
It didn’t require painstaking self-cultivation; by continuously devouring and fusing other divinities, Divine Path Fruits, etc., to strengthen oneself, such a method was indeed very rare.
But it was also incredibly profound.
Ji Qing estimated that this “Merger Scripture” should be considered a superior technique even among the martial arts on these thirteen stone tablets.
However, whether fusing divinity or fusing Divine Path Fruits, the “Merger Scripture” had its limitations.
However, whether it’s fusing divinity or fusing divine path fruits, the “Merger Scripture” also has its limitations.
This is not a martial art for improving cultivation.
At best, it should be considered a secret technique.
Even if cultivated to perfection, it will not improve martial arts.
However, it is excellent for aiding cultivation.
The limitation lies in its cultivation realm.
The higher the Spirit Fusion Scripture’s realm, the less restriction there will be on the fused Divinity and Divine Path Fruits.
Otherwise, there will be significant limitations.
For example, with the Spirit Fusion Scripture at the “Beginner” stage, even if Divinity can be fused, there will be restrictions on the type and quantity of Divinity.
But if it reaches perfection in the Spirit Fusion Scripture, then everything will be free of any restrictions.
“Therefore, I not only need to cultivate the Spirit Fusion Scripture to Beginner, but I should also quickly advance it to Perfection! Only when I reach the Perfection realm will I be taken seriously by the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory!”
A glint flashed in Ji Qing’s eyes.
Although the Spirit Fusion Scripture at the “Beginner” stage can pass the first level of the Martial Dao Seal.
However, “Beginner” and “Perfection” represent two completely different levels of treatment.
Ji Qing has Origin Points, so he can naturally and quickly advance the Spirit Fusion Scripture to Perfection.
There is also a key point.
The Spirit Fusion Scripture is a secret technique, and whether it can be cultivated to perfection, or how long it takes to cultivate to perfection, depends entirely on compatibility and comprehension.
As long as the compatibility and comprehension are high enough, the Spirit Fusion Scripture can reach perfection.
Therefore, Ji Qing has no reason to worry that his use of Origin Points to advance the Spirit Fusion Scripture would be too contrary to common sense.
With this thought, Ji Qing immediately began cultivating the Spirit Fusion Scripture.
At least to the Beginner stage.
Time slowly passed.
Outside the Martial Dao Seal, True Monarch Baoyue and others hid in the Immortal Mansion, struggling to hold on. However, it was evident that they could not last much longer.
Inside the Martial Dao Seal, the three Observers were also paying close attention to Ji Qing. Although Ji Qing had high compatibility with the Spirit Fusion Scripture, they were still very concerned about whether he could reach the Beginner stage, or how long it would take.
Ji Qing was fully focused on cultivating the “Spirit Fusion Scripture.” This martial art was extremely compatible with Ji Qing, but no matter how compatible it was, it still required time to cultivate.
One hour, two hours, three hours…
As time went by, Ji Qing was completely immersed in the “Spirit Fusion Scripture.”
The core of the “Spirit Fusion Scripture” is to cultivate the “Merger Divine Body,” which is a type of Divine Body, and specifically an Acquired Divine Body, meaning a Divine Body that can be cultivated into existence.
This was quite astonishing.
Ji Qing learned for the first time that besides the Martial Dao Origin, there were Acquired Divine Bodies that could be cultivated?
It was truly incredible.
Ji Qing suddenly realized why these thirteen Stone Tablets could serve as the first step of the Martial Dao Seal.
It could actually cultivate into a Divine Body?
Of course, one must reach Perfection in the Spirit Fusion Scripture to become a Divine Body.
As for the Beginner stage?
That was merely a Saint Body.
Although it was a Saint Body, Ji Qing faintly sensed that he encountered no obstacles.
The cultivation was very easy.
Ultimately, his Five Prisons Samsara Saint Body also contributed, even contributing greatly.
Ji Qing’s Power of Return to Void could decompose powers within the Five Elements, and then extend to decompose most powers outside the Five Elements.
In a sense, this was similar to the Merger Divine Body.
To cultivate the Spirit Fusion Scripture and achieve the Merger Divine Body, one also needed the Five Elements Dao Body, and even the Five Elements Saint Body.
Ji Qing had never imagined that a martial art capable of cultivating a Divine Body could be so compatible with him. Although it was his first time cultivating it, it felt incredibly familiar.
In just twelve hours, or one day, Ji Qing’s entire body trembled.
Subsequently, his physical body was transformed.
A “Saint Body” aura appeared on his body.
That was the aura of the Merger Saint Body.
This signified that the Spirit Fusion Scripture had reached the Beginner stage.
The three Observers immediately sensed Ji Qing’s abnormality.
“His Spirit Fusion Scripture has reached the Beginner stage.”
“He reached Beginner in just one day? Astonishing, how compatible must he be?”
“He must have been some kind of Five Elements Saint Body before, which is why he could reach Beginner in the Spirit Fusion Scripture so quickly. This Spirit Fusion Scripture was practically tailor-made for him.”
“Wait, what is he doing? He’s still continuing to cultivate?”
All three Observers’ eyes widened.
They noticed that Ji Qing had not stopped.
He was actually continuing to cultivate.
Moreover, his cultivation speed was incredibly fast, almost unbelievable.
Ji Qing’s cultivation speed was naturally fast.
Because he was directly “pounding” it with Origin Points.
“Advance the Spirit Fusion Scripture to Perfection!”
This Spirit Fusion Scripture is a secret technique at the Martial Saint level.
Each advancement requires the consumption of one hundred thousand Origin Points.
Therefore, as three hundred thousand Origin Points were consumed, Ji Qing’s internal aura rapidly surged.
Scenes appeared in his mind.
It was as if he had been diligently cultivating the Spirit Fusion Scripture day after day, for years, finally reaching Perfection.
And at the moment the Spirit Fusion Scripture reached Perfection, Ji Qing’s physical body transformed.
“Rumble.”
Ji Qing could clearly feel the changes within himself.
His physical body was transforming into the Merger Divine Body.
This was a Divine Body!
Previously, reaching Beginner in the Spirit Fusion Scripture had already resulted in a Saint Body.
Now, with the Spirit Fusion Scripture at Perfection, his physical body automatically transformed into a Divine Body.
The Merger Divine Body does not directly increase physical strength or combat power, but it is a terrifying physique that aids cultivation, created specifically for the Spirit Fusion Scripture.
It allows the fusion of Divinity and Divine Path Fruits without limitations.
The effect is incredibly potent.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing’s eyes opened instantly.
He immediately checked his status in the Demon Record.
Ji Qing: Martial Saint （Perfection）
Domain Space: Minor Accomplishment （3%）
Nine Heavens Mandate Lock: Fifth Layer （3%）
Spirit Fusion Scripture: Perfection
Merger Divine Body: Divine Body （Perfection）
Power of Return to Void: Third Form （Perfection）
Origin Points: 783800 points
Ji Qing saw that he now possessed a Divine Body. Although it was an Acquired Divine Body, it was still a Divine Body, theoretically similar to an Innate Divine Body.
Furthermore, Ji Qing had a feeling.
The Merger Divine Body did not consume the Martial Dao Origin fused within him.
This meant he could continue to allow his Five Prisons Samsara Saint Body to transform, or rather, allow his Half-step Divine Body to transform into a true Divine Body.
In the future, Ji Qing might also possess a second “Five Elements Divine Body.”
The Merger Divine Body does not hinder Ji Qing’s Five Elements Divine Body; in the future, Ji Qing might possess two Divine Bodies.
This was simply incredible.
One person possessing two Divine Bodies?
Perhaps in the Outer Domains, but certainly extremely rare!
However, this also seemed to align with the concept of the “Spirit Fusion Scripture.”
Since the Spirit Fusion Scripture can fuse Divinity and Divine Path Fruits, why couldn’t it fuse other Divine Bodies?
This point, perhaps even the creator of the Spirit Fusion Scripture did not realize.
After all, Divine Bodies are generally innate.
Those Divine Bodies that can be cultivated in the Acquired realm are exceptionally rare.
But Ji Qing was precisely an “accident.”
As Ji Qing finished cultivating the Spirit Fusion Scripture, two pathways appeared before him.
The first pathway led to the Second Layer of the Martial Dao Seal.
The second pathway led directly out of the Martial Dao Seal.
Ji Qing didn’t even think and walked directly towards the second pathway. After all, True Monarch Baoyue and the others were still struggling outside the Martial Dao Seal. If he didn’t appear soon, True Monarch Baoyue and the others might not be able to hold on.
There was also a crucial point.
The second trial of the Martial Dao Seal tested “Combat Power.”
Currently, Ji Qing was not confident he could pass the second trial.
So, he could only leave first, meditate for ten years, allow his strength to reach its peak, and then attempt the second trial.
“Swoosh.”
Ji Qing’s figure disappeared into the second pathway.
It wasn’t until Ji Qing’s figure disappeared that the three Observers seemed to snap back to reality.
The three looked at each other. Even though the Martial Dao Seal was now empty, the shock in their hearts had not yet subsided.
After all, what had they just witnessed?
Perfection!
Spirit Fusion Scripture Perfection!
It had only been one day. They watched Ji Qing cultivate the Spirit Fusion Scripture, reaching Beginner in a day, which was understandable, but after reaching Beginner, he directly rushed towards Perfection.
This was simply… monstrous!
Even within the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory, he was exceptionally monstrous!
“This time in the Desolate Realm, a truly remarkable seedling is about to emerge…”
“If the Spirit Fusion Lineage knew of such a seedling, wouldn’t they be ecstatic to the point of madness?”
“Spirit Fusion Scripture perfected in one day, it’s simply too outrageous. What do you think of the first trial’s evaluation?”
“No need to doubt, the first trial’s evaluation is Perfect!”
“His choice to temporarily leave the Martial Dao Seal is a wise move. The first trial tests compatibility and comprehension, while the second trial tests combat power. With the slightest carelessness, the second trial could be fatal…”
The three Observers were very satisfied with Ji Qing’s performance, even unanimously rating it as Perfect.
Although the Observers’ evaluations were not that important, they also indicated how shocking Ji Qing’s achievement of perfecting the Spirit Fusion Scripture in one day was.
“Ji Qing is going out to face those three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators. If those three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators are brazen enough…”
“Then destroy them! With the mark of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory, do a mere three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators dare to make a move?”
The eyes of the three Observers were very cold.
Even though Ji Qing had only passed the first level of the Martial Dao Seal, he had been bestowed the mark of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory.
Whoever dared to move against Ji Qing would be challenging the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory!
Of course, under normal circumstances, the Observers would not intervene in such matters. Even if Ji Qing were killed, the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory would pursue it only after his death.
But Ji Qing was ultimately different.
Spirit Fusion Scripture perfected in one day.
If they allowed such a seedling to be killed, wouldn’t the Spirit Fusion Lineage flay them alive?
They dared not offend the Spirit Fusion Lineage.
That was one of the upper three lineages of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory, extremely protective of their own.
Therefore, they had already decided that if Ji Qing was in danger, they would act immediately!
Ji Qing was unaware that he had already gained the attention of three Observers from the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing emerged from the Martial Dao Seal.
Upon exiting, he saw that the Xuling Immortal Mansion was still there and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Hmm?”
“That martial artist is out?”
“His aura… the mark of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory! He actually passed the Martial Dao Seal…”
“It’s only the first level of the Martial Dao Seal. Since he chose not to continue to the second level, he has ten years of rest time… Within ten years, we cannot touch him!”
“However, he is him, and the Immortal Mansion is the Immortal Mansion! We can’t touch him, but we can’t seize the Immortal Mansion?”
The complexions of the three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators turned grim.
However, their target had always been the Immortal Mansion.
If they couldn’t kill Ji Qing, they weren’t too concerned.
Thus, they intensified their attacks on the Immortal Mansion with even more ferocity.
But Ji Qing immediately sent a telepathic message into the Immortal Mansion, asking True Monarch Baoyue and the others inside for cooperation.
“Fellow Daoist Baoyue, cooperate with me to collect the Immortal Mansion.”
“Alright!”
True Monarch Baoyue breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Ji Qing actually passed the first level of the Martial Dao Seal so quickly? It truly surprised her.
However, Ji Qing passing the first level of the Martial Dao Seal meant there was a turning point!
“Collect!”
Ji Qing extended his hand.
Subsequently, the Immortal Mansion rapidly shrunk, turning into palm size, and directly flew into Ji Qing’s hand.
Ji Qing, holding the Immortal Mansion, calmly looked at the three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators.
He possessed the Purgatory Thirteen Meridians Mark; what could these three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators do?
“Young friend, you are merely a Martial Artist, you have no need for this Immortal Mansion. If you interfere, we indeed would not dare to kill you, but you still have a sect behind you, and it is as easy as flipping our hands to destroy Heavenly Desolation City. Have you thought this through!”
The three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators directly threatened him.
Ji Qing’s eyes turned cold, and he said indifferently, “Have you thought this through? If you destroy Heavenly Desolation City, there will be no room for maneuver. Ten years from now, if I successfully pass the Martial Dao Seal and enter the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory, I will be able to roam the heavens and earth, and you will have nowhere to hide!”
The terrifying killing intent Ji Qing exuded without any concealment caused the expressions of the three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators to freeze.
A threat!
This was a blatant threat!
They, the dignified three Void Comprehension Realm cultivators, were actually being threatened by a mere Martial Saint?
