Chapter 209: Giant Spirit God Corpse, Reshaping The Physical Body System! One Drop Of Divine Blood, Ji Qing Becomes A Divine Race!
“An old acquaintance has come, why doesn’t the Goddess appear to meet me?”
Ji Qing’s voice directly entered the river bottom, into the water mansion.
He believed that Yunmeng Goddess would definitely hear him.
“Splash.”
As expected, a huge vortex appeared on the calm river surface.
Afterwards, a figure appeared in the center of the vortex.
Yunmeng Goddess!
However, Yunmeng Goddess was now completely different.
Yunmeng Goddess already had a physical body!
Moreover, the other party’s physical body was very strong.
So strong it was inconceivable.
Even the strength of her physical body could probably rival that of a Martial Saint.
But the other party was not a Martial Saint.
It was just that the strength of her physical body alone rivaled a Martial Saint.
This was very abnormal.
Yunmeng Goddess had always been known as the “Goddess,” claiming to walk the Divine Path.
Ji Qing used to believe it.
But now, after decades, in the vast Immeasurable Domain, besides Yunmeng Goddess, where else was there any deity?
Not a single one!
Yunmeng Goddess was the “only one,” the most special existence.
But why was Yunmeng Goddess so special?
If Ji Qing hadn’t come to Yunmeng River today, he probably would never have discovered Yunmeng Goddess’s secret.
“Goddess, you have hidden yourself so deeply…”
Ji Qing said with a complex expression.
“Ji Qing… you actually came back? And, it seems you’ve been promoted to Martial God?”
Yunmeng Goddess was somewhat surprised.
Moreover, she even knew that Ji Qing had been promoted to “Martial God.”
It was important to note that cultivators in the Immeasurable Domain did not know what a “Martial God” was, but Yunmeng Goddess said it directly.
“Goddess, don’t you have some things you need to explain properly?”
Ji Qing’s words made Yunmeng Goddess fall silent.
“Forget it, come to the water mansion with me.”
Ji Qing nodded.
It was from the water mansion that he had noticed something amiss.
The water mansion at the bottom of Yunmeng River was not simple.
It was just that his cultivation was low before, so he couldn’t tell.
Now it seemed that this water mansion hid a great secret.
The two entered the water mansion and sat opposite each other.
Ji Qing said lightly, “Goddess, this water mansion is built at the bottom of the river, and you have always lived in it. Is there something wrong with this water mansion?”
Ji Qing’s words caused the Goddess’s expression to change slightly.
She sighed and said, “Actually, I didn’t intend to hide it from Mister Ji, but decades ago, my memories were indeed incomplete, with only fragments. I don’t know what happened.”
“However, in recent years, my memories have become more and more complete. But I wish I didn’t have these complete memories…”
Ji Qing just listened to the Goddess’s words, his face expressionless.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, if I don’t say it, will you not let this matter go and insist on getting to the bottom of it?”
The Goddess suddenly asked.
“Yes!”
“Ji Mou does not permit any power in the Immeasurable Domain that cannot be controlled!”
Yunmeng Goddess fell silent again.
If it were an ordinary Martial God, she felt she could resist one or two even if she tried her best.
But it had to be Ji Qing.
Even though Ji Qing hadn’t made a move yet, Yunmeng Goddess could feel the terrifying power contained within Ji Qing.
Especially his physical body.
The strength of his power was so formidable that not to mention Martial Gods, even those in the Divine Ability Realm would be far inferior.
With this level of power, Yunmeng Goddess could not resist even with all her divine abilities.
“Fine, it’s not impossible to tell Fellow Daoist Ji…”
“I told Fellow Daoist Ji before that I walk the Divine Path and am a god of faith. That statement was correct, but incomplete. To be precise, a wisp of consciousness was born from a corpse, and then I walked the Divine Path.”
Ji Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly.
A wisp of consciousness born from a corpse?
Ji Qing knew that the corpses of some powerful beings after death were also extremely terrifying, even unfading for eternity.
Over time, some consciousness would be born from these corpses.
“Where is the corpse?”
Ji Qing asked.
Yunmeng Goddess did not answer directly but asked back, “Fellow Daoist Ji, you should have reached the Barren Domain across the sea, right?”
“Yes.”
“Then you should have also learned if there is a continent as vast as the Immeasurable Domain in the vast sea domain?”
“This… it seems there really isn’t.”
“Then don’t you find it strange that there are no continents in other parts of the vast sea domain, yet such a vast continent has appeared here?”
Ji Qing fell into thought.
He really hadn’t considered this point before.
He hadn’t delved into it before, thinking it was normal for there to be a continent across the sea?
But after learning about the history of the Barren Domain, the Central Region, and so on, he discovered that since ancient times, the Desolate Realm had only had the Central Region, the Barren Domain, and other continents.
The Immeasurable Domain?
It only appeared occasionally in ancient texts.
And other sea domains had no continents similar to the Immeasurable Domain.
“So, what exactly does the Goddess want to say?”
Ji Qing asked.
“I want to say, the corpse is down below.”
The Goddess pointed below the water mansion.
Ji Qing’s eyes lit up: “There’s a corpse below the water mansion?”
“No, not below the water mansion, but beneath our feet, beneath the entire continent of the Immeasurable Domain!”
Ji Qing’s eyes widened abruptly.
Even though he had already stepped into the Black Ruins and become a Core Disciple of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory.
At this moment, he still felt shocked.
“You mean, an entire continent of the Immeasurable Domain is buried with a corpse?”
“To be precise, because of this corpse, the continent of the Immeasurable Domain came into being. You can think of this corpse as the Immeasurable Domain.”
“Boom.”
A storm of shock surged in Ji Qing’s heart.
This was truly too shocking.
This truth was indeed… outrageous!
A continent was actually a corpse?
“How is this possible?”
Ji Qing couldn’t believe it either.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, why don’t you take a good look.”
Yunmeng Goddess waved her hand.
The two arrived at the lowest level of the water mansion.
And below the water mansion, Ji Qing saw a bottomless abyss.
Ji Qing immediately sensed it.
Upon sensing it, Ji Qing’s heart trembled.
A desolate, mysterious, and terrifying aura assailed him.
But it was faint, and it seemed to have a sense of attraction towards Ji Qing, as if something was drawing him in.
In a daze, Ji Qing seemed to see an unparalleled giant, lying across the Black Ruins.
Every movement could even shake the Black Ruins.
The strength of this giant was simply inconceivable.
However, such a terrifying giant had still perished.
Its corpse had even fallen into the sea domain of the Desolate Realm.
The two returned to the water mansion.
Yunmeng Goddess said, “Fellow Daoist Ji, what did you see?”
Ji Qing hadn’t recovered for a long time.
After a long while, Ji Qing asked in a deep voice, “What is the origin of that giant corpse? Even the vast Black Ruins do not seem to have such a terrifying giant race.”
Ji Qing was a Core Disciple of the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory.
He had a certain understanding of the Black Ruins.
If there was such a terrifying giant race, it would definitely be famous in the Black Ruins.
It was impossible for him not to know.
The Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory would not have failed to record it.
But the fact was that the Thirteen Meridians of Purgatory had no record of such a terrifying giant.
“This corpse is a Divine Corpse. From some fragments of memory I obtained, it should have come from the Immortal Realm! It called itself ‘Giant Spirit God,’ and it seems ‘Giant Spirit’ is the name of a race.”
Ji Qing blurted out, “Is he an Immortal?”
“No, that’s not right, he is a God! Although he came from the Immortal Realm, he is not an Immortal, but a God! As for the difference between a Giant Spirit God and an Immortal, I am not sure. I am just a wisp of consciousness born from a corpse, and all memories are fragmented.”
“Right, his name, or rather, his divine name, seems to be Giant Spirit Tulan!”
Ji Qing pondered.
Giant Spirit Tulan?
It seemed “Giant Spirit” was the surname, often representing a race, and “Tulan” was the given name.
However, besides Immortals, the Immortal Realm also had so-called Gods?
Then what was the difference between “God” and “Immortal”?
The most crucial point was, how could such a terrifying Divine Corpse, coming from the Immortal Realm to the Black Ruins, have died?
Who could have killed the Giant Spirit God?
Faced with Ji Qing’s questions, the Goddess also shook her head.
She also knew nothing.
Not even fragmented memories.
“I only know that the Giant Spirit God Corpse fell into the Desolate Realm a long time ago, even before life was born in the Desolate Realm. The reason your Desolate Realm could give birth to life might even be due to the changes brought by the Giant Spirit God Corpse.”
“And the people of the Immeasurable Domain are even more direct. You were born from the Giant Spirit God Corpse; you can actually be considered the bloodline of this corpse. Others, even if they discovered the Giant Spirit God Corpse, couldn’t get close, but the people of the Immeasurable Domain are different. The bloodline of the Giant Spirit flows deep within you, even if it’s faint, it’s still the Giant Spirit bloodline.”
“Therefore, Fellow Daoist Ji, you should be able to approach the Giant Spirit God Corpse, and even go deep into the Divine Corpse! The benefits of this Divine Corpse are unimaginably great. Coming down from the Immortal Realm, such a powerful Giant Spirit God could most likely contend with a True Immortal! I established the water mansion here because below the water mansion is a wound on the Giant Spirit God Corpse. This wound seems to be a permanent injury, and through the wound, one can enter the Giant Spirit God Corpse’s body.”
“Unfortunately, after decades, I have only managed to condense this physical body by relying on the Giant Spirit God Corpse.”
Yunmeng Goddess seemed still very dissatisfied.
But Ji Qing clearly understood.
In just decades, Yunmeng Goddess had condensed such a powerful physical body solely relying on the Divine Corpse.
Just in terms of physical strength, she could rival a Martial Saint.
How terrifying was that?
“Goddess, I’m afraid you don’t just want to condense a physical body, do you? Your physical body has already been condensed, but you still seem to want to go deeper into the Giant Spirit God Corpse. What exactly do you want?”
Ji Qing asked.
Yunmeng Goddess gritted her teeth, knowing she couldn’t hide it.
Now she couldn’t defeat Ji Qing, and she could even feel that Ji Qing had sufficient strength to kill her.
So, Yunmeng Goddess could only tell the truth: “Although the Giant Spirit God is dead, his corpse still contains residual Essence Blood. After all these years, the Essence Blood has not disappeared. I just want to obtain the Essence Blood within the Giant Spirit God Corpse.”
“But the pressure emanating from the Essence Blood prevents me from even getting close. This is why I walked the Divine Path, wanting to use the Power of Faith to resist the pressure of the Divine Corpse’s Essence Blood, but I still couldn’t.”
“Divine Corpse Essence Blood…”
Ji Qing listened to what Yunmeng Goddess said, and it didn’t seem like she was lying.
However, after listening to so much.
Ji Qing needed to confirm whether there was a trap hidden in Yunmeng Goddess’s words.
So, Ji Qing spoke: “Goddess, Ji Mou has a ‘Soul Locking Curse.’ If this method is performed, from now on, our fates will be linked, sharing life and honor. If Ji Mou unfortunately perishes, then the Goddess’s soul will also scatter.”
Yunmeng Goddess’s face darkened.
What Soul Locking Curse, Ji Qing clearly didn’t trust her and wanted to completely control her.
She could also resist.
But she knew that facing Ji Qing, she wouldn’t have the slightest chance.
Even with a physical body comparable to a Martial Saint, it would be the same.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, the Soul Locking Curse is acceptable, but if you obtain the Divine Corpse’s Essence Blood, can you share a portion with me? Even a single drop will suffice. I only want the Divine Corpse’s Essence Blood because it represents infinite possibilities for the physical body…”
This was Yunmeng Goddess’s greatest desire.
Ji Qing pondered for a while.
“Alright.”
Ji Qing agreed.
“Good, then let’s begin.”
Yunmeng Goddess’s gaze was fixed on Ji Qing; she was ready.
Ji Qing’s eyes, however, were calm.
“The Soul Locking Curse must be cast by the Goddess.”
“…”
Thus, Ji Qing taught the Soul Locking Curse to Yunmeng Goddess.
In fact, the reason why Yunmeng Goddess had to cast it was to emphasize “voluntariness.”
Casting this curse was equivalent to Yunmeng Goddess willingly entrusting her life and death to Ji Qing’s control.
The Soul Locking Curse was not difficult.
Yunmeng Goddess learned it in two hours.
Although not entirely proficient, she could still cast it without issue.
Thus, Yunmeng Goddess began to cast the Soul Locking Curse on Ji Qing, and soon, the casting was successful.
Ji Qing could sense Yunmeng Goddess.
If he wanted to make Yunmeng Goddess’s soul scatter, it would only take a single thought.
“Are you relieved now, Fellow Daoist?”
Yunmeng Goddess said with a “resentful” tone.
“Of course I am relieved. Without further ado, let’s go inside the Divine Corpse now to examine the Giant Spirit’s Essence Blood. Goddess, please lead the way.”
Ji Qing did not hesitate and immediately decided to give it a try.
He wanted the Giant Spirit’s Essence Blood too!
Accordingly, the Goddess immediately rose, and Ji Qing followed closely behind. The two quickly passed through the Water Mansion and entered the body of the Giant Spirit God Corpse.
Ji Qing also saw the enormous tunnel.
He reached out and touched it.
The tunnel was actually flesh and blood. To be able to pierce the physical body of such a powerful Giant Spirit God, the Power was truly inconceivable.
Could it be a True Immortal?
Legends of Immortals had always circulated within the Black Ruins.
Unfortunately, after countless years, no Immortals had been born in the Black Ruins.
It was said that the Immortal Path was severed, and no one would ever ascend to Immortality in the Black Ruins.
Ji Qing was not entirely clear about the specific circumstances.
Perhaps once he became a Great Expert, he would understand.
The two continued to walk further inside.
They walked for about an hour.
Suddenly, Ji Qing felt a faint sense of unease.
Yunmeng Goddess also stopped.
“Fellow Daoist Ji, I cannot go any further. Ahead is the Divine Corpse’s Essence Blood, and the Pressure is too strong; I cannot endure it. As for whether you can obtain the Essence Blood, that will depend on your Fortune.”
Yunmeng Goddess spoke.
“Pressure?”
Ji Qing carefully sensed it.
Indeed, there was Pressure.
However, it was not as exaggerated as Yunmeng Goddess described.
Furthermore, Ji Qing even felt a faint “attraction.”
What was attracting him?
The Divine Corpse’s Essence Blood?
Ji Qing was unsure.
But since he could proceed, he resolutely continued forward.
Ji Qing followed the “attraction” in his heart, constantly walking through the tunnel.
After walking for several hours.
Finally, Ji Qing also felt a terrifying Pressure.
This Pressure seemed to make his entire body tremble.
However, from the depths of his bloodline, there was a faint sense of attraction, as if it were urging his bloodline to ignite.
Relying on this trace of attraction, Ji Qing was able to reach this point.
“Is that… the Divine Corpse’s Essence Blood? Or rather, the Giant Spirit’s Essence Blood?”
Ji Qing could now see with his own eyes: a drop of Essence Blood in the distance.
Although called “a drop,” it was as large as two to three mu of farmland.
It wasn’t “a drop” of Essence Blood; it was an entire pool of water.
Therefore, for such a colossal amount of Essence Blood, giving some to Yunmeng Goddess was not much.
However, there were still about a hundred paces between him and the Essence Blood.
Normally, a mere hundred paces would be crossed by Ji Qing in the blink of an eye.
But now, he had to withstand the Pressure emanating from the Giant Spirit’s Essence Blood, which made it no simple matter.
Every step was incredibly difficult.
Ji Qing took a deep breath and directly took a step forward.
As a result, he truly couldn’t take that step.
“Buzz.”
A Dao Fruit suddenly appeared above Ji Qing’s head.
Golden Light radiated with a brilliant glow.
With the augmentation of a Legendary Dao Fruit, the pressure on Ji Qing’s body significantly decreased.
Then, Ji Qing began to walk forward again.
One step, three steps, five steps, ten steps…
The first Dao Fruit, the Spirit Fusion Dao Fruit, augmented Ji Qing, only allowed him to reach the twentieth step before it seemed to be his limit. On the twenty-first step, Ji Qing could not move forward no matter what.
Thus, the second Dao Fruit manifested.
This time, it was the Blood Flame Dao Fruit.
With the augmentation of the Blood Flame Dao Fruit, the pressure on Ji Qing’s body decreased again.
He continued to walk forward.
He walked all the way to the forty-fifth step, indicating that the effect of the Blood Flame Dao Fruit’s augmentation was slightly better than the Spirit Fusion Dao Fruit.
Not even halfway there.
Ji Qing’s third Dao Fruit manifested.
This time, it was the Five Elements Dao Fruit.
Five-colored radiance flashed, augmenting Ji Qing, making him feel a sudden lightness in pressure.
This time, Ji Qing felt the effect was even better than the previous two Dao Fruits.
He walked all the way to the seventy-fifth step, meaning the Five Elements Dao Fruit’s augmentation allowed Ji Qing to advance a full thirty steps.
This demonstrated the might of the Five Elements Dao Fruit.
Although all were Legendary Dao Fruits, there were still differences in their power.
Only the last twenty-five steps remained, and Ji Qing would be able to reach the “Giant Spirit’s Essence Blood.”
Ji Qing manifested his final Dao Fruit, the True Dragon Dao Fruit.
“Roar…”
It was as if a True Dragon were roaring.
With the augmentation of the Power of True Dragon, Ji Qing moved as if flying.
Eighty steps, ninety steps, one hundred steps!
Ji Qing successfully crossed the hundred-pace distance.
He even felt he had remaining strength.
But he no longer needed to walk, as the “pool” formed by the Giant Spirit’s Essence Blood was right before him.
Or perhaps “Blood Pool” would be a more fitting description.
A single drop of Essence Blood was equivalent to an entire pool of blood.
Looking at this pool of blood, Ji Qing felt a surge of desire within him.
It seemed he intensely craved the Essence Blood in the blood pool.
But Ji Qing dared not rashly jump in.
He immediately extended his hand and reached into the blood pool.
“Hiss.”
The Essence Blood in the pool seemed to possess a terrifying corrosive power.
It directly corroded Ji Qing’s fingers.
“Corrosion? No, this is not corrosive power; it is the Essence Blood trying to surge into my body, but my physical body cannot withstand it, so my physical body has collapsed…”
Ji Qing carefully observed and detected something unusual.
His physical body collapsed because the Essence Blood was too potent.
Ji Qing’s heart trembled.
Before him was a “mountain of treasure,” and yet he couldn’t obtain anything?
“No, there must be a way.”
Ji Qing thought carefully.
“Giant Spirit’s Essence Blood… According to what the Goddess said, all beings born in the Immeasurable Domain are actually descendants of Divine Corpses, possessing Divine Corpse bloodlines. This means they all possess the Giant Spirit bloodline.”
“If I activate the Giant Spirit bloodline, can I then refine this Giant Spirit’s Essence Blood?”
Ji Qing considered this possibility.
However, where was the Giant Spirit bloodline within his body?
Ji Qing was unsure.
But it didn’t matter; Ji Qing had a way.
Looking at this pool of blood, Ji Qing no longer hesitated.
With a “plop.”
Ji Qing directly jumped into the blood pool.
Immediately, the terrifying Essence Blood rapidly surged into his body.
Even though Ji Qing’s physical body was already very strong.
Augmented by four types of Divine Bodies.
But it was useless.
Underneath such terrifying Giant Spirit’s Essence Blood, all the Divine Bodies that Ji Qing had previously prided himself on were utterly defeated.
All Divine Bodies became mere decorations, collapsing entirely.
One percent, two percent, three percent, four percent, five percent…
In the blink of an eye, Ji Qing’s physical body had collapsed by ninety percent, leaving only the last ten percent.
His physical body was able to endure for such a duration, which was already quite remarkable.
Compared to other Martial Gods, or even other Martial Artists in the Divine Ability Realm or Dharma Aspect Realm, their performance would likely be far inferior to his.
“Hiss.”
Finally, the last ten percent of his physical body also annihilated.
“Hmm?”
Yunmeng Goddess suddenly felt a pang of pain in her heart.
It was as if a great terror, akin to death itself, was about to descend.
But she was still fine.
Alive and well.
“What’s happening? Did something happen to Ji Qing?”
Yunmeng Goddess’s expression flickered.
But she had no way to contact Ji Qing now.
She could only wait.
Even in her heart, Yunmeng Goddess prayed that Ji Qing would not encounter any trouble.
Now, their fates were intertwined; they would rise and fall together.
If Ji Qing died, she would also die!
Ji Qing was unaware of Yunmeng Goddess’s thoughts.
His physical body had indeed “annihilated.”
But physical body annihilation did not mean he was dead.
Because he also had a Spiritual Imprint integrated into the Desolate Realm.
As long as the Desolate Realm exists, he will be Immortal.
It doesn’t even matter if the Desolate Realm is gone.
He still has a Spiritual Imprint in the Purgatory Realm.
“There is still a faint connection between Yunmeng Goddess and me, which means that even if my physical body is annihilated, Yunmeng Goddess will not die. This is within my expectations.”
Ji Qing murmured to himself.
He now only has his Spiritual Imprint left.
If Yunmeng Goddess were to die because of this, he would feel a bit guilty.
But fortunately, Yunmeng Goddess is not dead.
As for the annihilation of his physical body.
Ji Qing was not alarmed at all.
In fact, he was quite “familiar” with it.
Didn’t he repeatedly “annihilate” his physical body himself in order to activate the True Phoenix Bloodline back then?
He was too familiar with it.
In the end, he annihilated his physical body many times, successfully activated the True Phoenix Bloodline, and was reborn from flames.
It was the same for Ji Qing this time.
He had already confirmed that he truly possessed the “Giant Spirit Bloodline.”
However, this trace of Giant Spirit Bloodline was too diluted.
So diluted that it was even more diluted than the True Phoenix Bloodline Ji Qing obtained back then.
Only by stimulating the Giant Spirit Bloodline within his body could he absorb the Giant Spirit Essence Blood and reshape his physical body.
Otherwise, no one could absorb this overbearing Giant Spirit Essence Blood.
This might take a long time.
After all, it took him about half a year to reform his physical body.
So, half a year later, Ji Qing reformed his physical body and immediately sent a Communication Talisman to Yunmeng Goddess.
He informed Yunmeng Goddess that there was a slight problem with the Giant Spirit Essence Blood.
He might be in seclusion for a long time.
This time could be as long as several decades, so he asked Yunmeng Goddess not to worry.
If people from the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land came looking for him, Yunmeng Goddess should use his “seclusion” as an excuse and ask them not to worry either.
After preparing himself, Ji Qing jumped back into the blood pool.
Once, twice, thrice, four times, five times…
Ji Qing’s physical body was annihilated again and again.
Every attempt failed.
He couldn’t activate the Giant Spirit Essence Blood within his body.
But Ji Qing still didn’t give up.
Ten times, twenty times, thirty times, forty times!
Forty times in total, that’s twenty years!
Ji Qing never imagined he would spend twenty years with the blood pool.
However, Ji Qing was determined this time.
Even if it took more time, he had to activate the Giant Spirit Bloodline.
This made the people from the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land extremely anxious.
Originally, they had already sent Ji Qing’s old acquaintances to the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land.
But Ji Qing disappeared.
And he disappeared for twenty years all at once.
Relying solely on Yunmeng Goddess’s message was completely ineffective.
In the end, Ji Qing sent a Communication Talisman to everyone in the Heavenly Martial Sacred Land, stating that he was indeed in seclusion, which finally dispelled their doubts.
“Buzz.”
Twenty years were not without their rewards.
Ji Qing had already found a hint of a “trick.”
Finally, stimulated by the Giant Spirit Essence Blood in the blood pool, he actually activated the trace of Giant Spirit Bloodline within his body.
As the Giant Spirit Bloodline activated, Ji Qing felt the power of his physical body surge again, as if breaking through the limit once more.
However, breaking through the physical body’s limit was no longer important.
Even if the physical body’s limit was broken, could it compare to the Giant Spirit Race?
And right before him was a drop of Giant Spirit God’s Essence Blood!
Thus, Ji Qing immediately circulated the trace of Giant Spirit Bloodline within his body and began to furiously merge with the Giant Spirit God’s Essence Blood.
As the Giant Spirit God’s Essence Blood poured in, Ji Qing’s physical body began to reform.
His four Divine Bodies, the Merger Divine Body, True Dragon Body, Five Elements Divine Body, and Blood Flame Divine Body, were all completely integrated into the physical body Ji Qing was reshaping.
To be precise, they were integrated into Ji Qing’s Giant Spirit physical body.
While merging with the Giant Spirit Essence Blood, Ji Qing also received some information from the Essence Blood.
It turned out that the Giant Spirit God was the Leader of the Giant Spirit Race.
In the Immortal Realm, there were Immortals and the Divine Race.
The Divine Race were native beings of the Immortal Realm, born incredibly powerful.
Later, Immortals came to the Immortal Realm, and friction gradually arose with the Divine Race, culminating in a Great War.
Both sides suffered heavy losses.
However, Immortals ascended from the Lower Realm in endless numbers and gradually gained the upper hand in the war against the Divine Race.
In the end, the Divine Race was utterly defeated.
Immortals became the Sovereigns of the Immortal Realm.
However, the Divine Race, with their immense Strength, managed to hold onto a territory.
Among the Divine Race, the Nine Clans were the most respected.
Among them was the “Clan of Strength,” naturally endowed with immense power.
The Giant Spirit Race belonged to the “Clan of Strength,” and the Giant Spirit Race had produced a Giant Spirit God, thus becoming one of the Deities of the Clan of Strength.
Later, seemingly for some contention, the Divine Race and Immortals descended to the Lower Realm and engaged in a world-shattering Great War in the Black Ruins. The Divine Race was annihilated, and the Giant Spirit God also perished.
The information Ji Qing obtained was quite fragmented.
It was only through his slow piecing together and some deductions that he finally pieced together the origin of the Giant Spirit God.
“So, the Giant Spirit God and other gods of the Divine Race descended to contend for some Treasure, were killed by Immortals, and their corpses later slowly fell into the Desolate Realm, even causing great Changes in the Desolate Realm, leading to the gradual emergence of life…”
“And the Immortal Path Severed, is that also related to that Great War?”
Ji Qing vaguely felt that it might indeed be closely related.
“Immortals, Divine Race…”
Ji Qing did not expect that the disputes in the Immortal Realm were so fierce.
There was no right or wrong in this regard.
It was all for the survival of their respective races.
Immortals and the Divine Race cultivated completely differently.
The Martial Way, when cultivated to the extreme, also led to becoming an Immortal, known as a Martial Immortal.
Therefore, the Martial Way and the Immortal Path were essentially two sides of the same coin.
But Immortals and the Divine Race were vastly different.
The Divine Race only cultivated their physical bodies.
Or rather, the Divine Race was incapable of cultivating the Dao.
The Divine Race possessed incredibly powerful physical bodies from birth.
For example, the “Giant Spirit Race” of the Clan of Strength, upon birth, was already considered “First Order Divine Race.”
And a First Order Divine Race, if classified by Martial Way Cultivation Realms, would be equivalent to the Dharma Aspect Realm.
Their growth would reach the peak of the Dharma Aspect Realm.
The Giant Spirit Race, doing nothing but eating and sleeping, would naturally grow to a level comparable to the Dharma Aspect Realm after a hundred years.
Moreover, due to their innate divine strength, most Dharma Aspect Realm Martial Artists would not be a match for the Giant Spirit Race.
And First Order was merely the “Nascent Stage” of the Giant Spirit Race.
If they did nothing, then after three hundred years, the Giant Spirit Race would naturally grow to “Second Order,” equivalent to their youth period.
Second Order was comparable to Great Experts, growing all the way to the limit of Great Experts.
Still doing nothing, if they lived to a thousand years old, they would reach “Third Order,” which was the Mature Stage. Third Order Divine Race members were equivalent to the most powerful beings below True Immortals.
In other words, the Giant Spirit Race, doing nothing and merely sleeping for a thousand years, would naturally grow into the strongest existence below True Immortals.
How advantageous was this?
No wonder the Divine Race ruled the Immortal Realm before the advent of Immortals.
They were simply the darlings of Heaven and Earth.
All the “favor” gathered upon them.
And the Nine Clans within the Divine Race were basically all like this.
They just excelled in different areas.
The Clan of Strength excelled in power, and their natural growth limit was reached at Third Order.
Beyond that, Fourth Order, was becoming a Deity.
Becoming a Deity at Fourth Order required Fortune.
Many Giant Spirit Race members died without ever breaking through to Fourth Order to become Deities.
But a very small minority were exceptionally fortunate and could break through to Fourth Order and become Deities.
Once they broke through to Fourth Order and became a Giant Spirit God, they would master a portion of the “Origin of Strength.” Every action they took would be infused with immense Great Power, allowing them to truly contend with True Immortals. Even ordinary True Immortals were no match for the terrifying Strength of a Giant Spirit God.
There were stages beyond Fourth Order.
The strength classification of the Divine Race had a total of nine tiers.
And the Divine Corpse was indeed called Giant Spirit Tulan, a Fifth Stage Giant Spirit God of the Giant Spirit Clan. Although not the leader of the Clan of Strength, he was a powerful existence within the Clan of Strength.
Unfortunately, he died in the Lower Realm.
After Ji Qing understood the information within the Essence Blood, a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes.
The Divine Race specialized in cultivating their physical bodies.
The Strength of their physical bodies far surpassed any other being.
True Immortals, Divine Beasts, were even inferior to the physical bodies of the Divine Race.
The Immortal Path System, on the other hand, either cultivated Magic or Magic Treasures, or like Martial Immortals, cultivated Rules and Divine Abilities.
These were two different paths.
Even for Martial Artists, their physical bodies were only slightly stronger.
After reaching Martial God, they only cultivated Divine Abilities and not their physical bodies.
“What if the two paths are combined? Physical body and Divine Abilities, I will cultivate both!”
A sharp gleam flickered in Ji Qing’s eyes.
In fact, he had realized long ago that Martial Artists did not cultivate their physical bodies.
Although he possessed four Divine Bodies, his system was very chaotic.
His physical body lacked a clear system.
It was like piecing things together.
A bit from here, a bit from there.
It wasn’t until Ji Qing encountered the Divine Corpse and learned about the Giant Spirit Race.
The Divine Race didn’t really have a specific cultivation method.
They mainly relied on natural growth.
When the time came, they would naturally improve.
Of course, there were some methods that could “shorten” the growth time for the Divine Race.
Therefore, Ji Qing thought for a moment, he absolutely had to transform into a “Divine Race” physical body.
Could he use a Divine Race “physical body” to control the Divine Path Fruit and walk the path of a Martial Immortal?
Theoretically, the Divine Race could not cultivate Primordial Spirits or Rules.
There were no known cases of them successfully walking the Martial Way path.
But Ji Qing’s situation was very special.
He had obtained the Divine Path Fruit and then transformed into a “Divine Race” physical body.
Ji Qing was still in the process of transformation.
This also required a certain amount of time.
This one drop of Giant Spirit Essence Blood was enough for Ji Qing’s transformation.
It was even more than enough.
If, once transformed, he could not cultivate the Divine Path Fruit.
Then Ji Qing would simply annihilate the Giant Spirit Race physical body and reform his previous physical body.
This held no difficulty for Ji Qing.
Therefore, Ji Qing dared to attempt it boldly.
Time passed slowly.
As Ji Qing absorbed the Giant Spirit Essence Blood, his physical body was also being reshaped and transformed bit by bit.
And this time was different from the Divine Bodies Ji Qing had previously condensed.
This time it was a complete reshaping and transformation.
The Giant Spirit Race has a complete physical body system.
Under the continuous impact of the Giant Spirit’s essence blood, Ji Qing’s four types of divine bodies also slowly shattered, completely merging into the Giant Spirit’s physical body.
About a year later.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing suddenly opened his eyes.
A sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
Ji Qing clenched his palms.
He seemed to possess infinite great power.
Moreover, his body had also transformed into a giant ten feet tall.
Now, Ji Qing had completely become a “Divine Race” member, and specifically, a “Giant Spirit Race” member.
Every “Giant Spirit Race” member is a giant.
Merely ten feet tall, he could only be considered in the nascent stage.
And the facts also proved that Ji Qing was indeed in the nascent stage.
Ji Qing immediately checked his own condition.
Ji Qing: Martial God （ Perfection ）
Giant Spirit Race: First Order （ 18% ）
Divine Art: Sever Heaven and Earth （ Beginner ）
Grotto-Heaven Small Realm: Beginner （ 1% ）
Spirit Fusion Dao Fruit: Perfection （ Can Transform into Divine Ability ）
True Dragon Dao Fruit: Beginner （ 1% ）
Five Elements Dao Fruit: Beginner （ 1% ）
Blood Flame Dao Fruit: Beginner （ 1% ）
Mind: Immovable as a Mountain （ First Realm Tenth Order ）
Origin Point: 140,503,800 points
As expected, Ji Qing was now a genuine “Giant Spirit Race” member.
And he had also stepped into the First Order.
Furthermore, Ji Qing had also naturally mastered a “Divine Art.”
This divine art came from his bloodline.
It was similar to a talent-based divine ability.
Only members of the Giant Spirit Race could master it.
“The Divine Art Severing Heaven and Earth is extremely compatible with the Giant Spirit Race’s physical body and combat style. I wonder if I can use Origin Points to upgrade it?”
Ji Qing thought for a moment and immediately tried.
“Upgrade Divine Art Severing Heaven and Earth.”
“Boom.”
Ji Qing’s mind roared.
Immediately after, scenes appeared in his mind.
It was as if he was diligently practicing the divine art day after day.
With his ten-foot-tall body, he continuously practiced the divine art.
Day after day.
“Hm?”
“It’s upgraded… and it cost a million Origin Points!”
Ji Qing glanced, and his Divine Art Severing Heaven and Earth had reached Minor Accomplishment.
It cost a full one million Origin Points.
But this was merely Minor Accomplishment.
To reach Major Accomplishment, it would cost ten million Origin Points.
And from Major Accomplishment to Perfection, it would even cost one hundred million Origin Points!
How terrifying is this?
Fortunately, Ji Qing’s Origin Points had increased by another hundred million; these were accumulated from his journey across the sea area and the countless demons he had slain.
“A million Origin Points corresponds to the Martial God level. This means Minor Accomplishment in Divine Art is equivalent to Martial God. Major Accomplishment costing ten million Origin Points is equivalent to the Divine Ability Realm, and Perfection, one hundred million, is equivalent to the Dharma Aspect Realm!”
This was merely Ji Qing’s speculation.
Could perfected Divine Art truly rival the Dharma Aspect Realm?
Ji Qing was unsure.
But the possibility was high!
Moreover, the Origin Points required to rival the Dharma Aspect Realm.
With the might of the divine art, once it truly reached Perfection, even a First Order Divine Race physical body would possess earth-shattering might.
Refining Void, Dharma Aspect, they would all likely be blown apart.
Ji Qing took a deep breath.
Although it requires a large consumption of Origin Points.
It will even consume his origin point entirely.
Although it required a large amount of Origin Points.
Even if it depleted all his Origin Points.
But he had accumulated so many Origin Points precisely to improve his strength!
“Upgrade Divine Art Severing Heaven and Earth to Perfection!”
Ji Qing had no hesitation.
“Boom.”
Divine Art Severing Heaven and Earth rapidly upgraded.
From Minor Accomplishment to Major Accomplishment, and then from Major Accomplishment to Perfection.
Ji Qing’s accumulated over one hundred million Origin Points were instantly depleted.
Leaving him with less than thirty million Origin Points.
But his Divine Art had reached Perfection.
Ji Qing threw a punch directly.
“Sever Heaven and Earth!”
Terrifying power poured out.
“Rumble.”
Even inside the divine corpse, this punch could shake the entire divine corpse.
What a terrifying punch this was?
Ji Qing was filled with surprise and uncertainty.
If he encountered Fei Long again, Ji Qing could have easily blown him apart with a single punch.
The key point was that Ji Qing still had his Dao Fruits.
Ji Qing moved his mind.
Immediately, the four Dao Fruits reappeared.
They were not affected in any way.
“This means I can cultivate both my physical body and my Dao Fruits!”
Ji Qing was very happy.
This was the best outcome.
He first cultivated his Dao Fruits, and then cultivated his Divine Race physical body, resulting in this peculiar phenomenon.
Both could be cultivated simultaneously.
Furthermore, the critical point was that Ji Qing’s Giant Spirit Race physical body had not yet reached First Order Perfection.
This was not an issue, as there was still plenty of Giant Spirit essence blood.
This was a drop of essence blood from a Fifth Order Giant Spirit God.
How terrifying is that?
Thus, Ji Qing once again “merged” with the Giant Spirit essence blood.
And his physical body was also rapidly improving.
20%, 30%, 40%, 50%…
After another year had passed.
Finally, Ji Qing stopped absorbing the Giant Spirit essence blood.
“Whoosh.”
Ji Qing suddenly stood up.
His physical body exuded immense pressure.
It seemed as if the surrounding void was distorting.
And his physical body had now finally reached First Order Perfection.
There was nowhere further to advance.
As for the Second Order?
He couldn’t even think about it now.
There wasn’t much Fifth Order Giant Spirit God essence blood left, not enough to support him in breaking through the bottleneck and advancing to the Second Order.
However, Fifth Order Giant Spirit God essence blood was extremely potent.
Especially since Yunmeng Goddess had been longing for Fifth Order Giant Spirit God essence blood.
But Yunmeng Goddess was likely destined to be disappointed.
She could not withstand such domineering and terrifying Giant Spirit God essence blood.
However, it was time for Ji Qing to leave.
“Swish.”
Ji Qing stood up, his ten-foot-tall body rapidly shrinking, returning to its original size.
The Giant Spirit Race’s physical body could contract and expand freely; this point had no impact.
However, generally, only a physical body of normal size could achieve the strongest combat power!
…
In the Water Mansion, Yunmeng Goddess was taking a nap.
“Swish.”
Suddenly, the Goddess’s eyes snapped open.
In front of her, a figure suddenly appeared.
“Fellow Daoist Ji…”
Yunmeng Goddess was incredibly surprised.
But as she stood up, she suddenly felt a terrifying pressure that seemed to originate from the depths of her life.
With a “thump.”
Yunmeng Goddess involuntarily knelt before Ji Qing.
