Begin the path of immortality from mortals

"Fellow Daoist Xiao's status as the Holy Son has been confirmed before. According to convention, the Council of Elders would have to wait until Fellow Daoist Xiao became the Holy Lord before granting him a relic to help him improve his cultivation. However, Fellow Daoist Xiao is now close to reaching the perfection of the Flying Spirit Marshal. I intend to grant him a relic now to help the Holy Son. What do you think?"

After everyone got to know each other and exchanged greetings, Jin Yue looked at Lu Tiandu and said.

"I agree."

At this time, Bai Ning spoke first, "Although this Tianpeng relic is a holy object left by the great elders of our clan who used secret techniques to condense the crystal core when they passed away, it contains a lot of Kunpeng's power, but after refining it, it is only useful for cultivators below the Saint level. It is best to let Changsheng use it in advance!"

"We agree too!"

At this time, Elder Xu, Elder Shi, and Elder Wang all said the same thing.

They had long known that the strong blood power of Lu Tiandu had caused the Holy Spirit Kunpeng to preach the Dharma, and with Lu Tiandu's strength, it was a foregone conclusion that he would pass the trial and become the Holy Lord.

In addition, Lu Tiandu had previously demonstrated his powerful fighting ability by killing Jiao Rong of the Chirong tribe. Naturally, no one would have any other objections to such a small matter.

"In that case, let's go to the altar!"

Jin Yue looked at Lu Tiandu who had a calm expression and nodded, then walked out of the hall in a flash.

Soon, six people appeared in a strange building in a corner of the holy city.

This building is a huge square similar to an arena. The entire square is circular and surrounded by huge stone walls about a hundred feet high on all sides. It covers an area of ​​several miles.

On top of the stone wall, there were hundreds of stone sculptures of Peng birds. It was unknown what kind of restrictions were imposed on them. Each one of them flashed with colorful light, forming a seven-color light curtain that covered the entire square.

In the center of the square, there is an altar several meters high, made entirely of pure white jade.

Lu Tiandu had heard from Bai Ning before that the holy sacrifices for the Holy Son who inherited the true blood and the Holy Lord who inherited the Tianpeng relic would be held in this square, so he was not too surprised.

In just a moment, except for the five saint-level elders and Lu Tiandu, more than a dozen flying spirit commanders of the Tianpeng clan, including Bai Ling, the saint of Tianpeng, stood solemnly around the white jade altar.

Behind Jin Yue, the saint Yan Yun was holding a misty silver disc in her hand with a look of respect on her face.

"Son, these are the only ten or so Tianpeng relics left in our clan. You can choose one to refine..."

Thinking that the time was about right, Jin Yue asked Yan Yun to step forward, uncover the brocade handkerchief on the tray, and speak to Lu Tiandu.

Inside the tray, more than a dozen milky white round beads are extremely eye-catching, some have a very pure luster, while others appear much dimmer.

"Please introduce me to the Great Elder!"

Lu Tiandu looked at the dozen or so Tianpeng relics and spoke.

"This is the relic left by the 28th Great Elder Jin Kong..."

Jin Yue nodded and started introducing the relic starting from the one with the brightest luster until she stopped after she said the last and the dimmest one came from the ninth generation great elder Hong Yun.

"Since this Great Elder Hongyun lived in the oldest era, why has no one refined the relics he left behind? The power of the Sky Peng in this relic seems to have been lost by more than half..."

Lu Tiandu asked with a curious look on his face.

"This involves some secrets of our clan. Saint Son is not an outsider, so it's a good opportunity for you to listen..."

Jin Yue knew that Lu Tiandu knew very little about the Tianpeng clan, so he immediately explained it in detail.

"In the era when Great Elder Hongyun lived, our clan was still at its peak and had not yet gone downhill... He was a man of extraordinary talent, and could be called a prodigy of our clan. He had created the Jingzhe Jue magical power, and was invincible among the many Saint-level cultivators of the Feiling clan..."

"However, he did not advance to the Mahayana realm in the end. Instead, he went mad and died in an extremely strange way. Even the magical power of Jingzhe Jue was not passed down."

“However, in his last moments, he seemed to have regained his clarity of mind and still left behind a relic. However, in addition to Kunpeng’s power, this relic also contained some of his chaotic spiritual power before he died.”

“Because those who refine the relic are basically Saint Lords with the cultivation level of the initial stage of Flying Spirit Marshal, this kind of alien divine power, if it is not absorbed into the body of a person with strong divine power, it may leave trouble in the soul of the person who refines it. Therefore, this relic has been kept in a secret room, and no Saint Lord dares to refine it easily…”

"Of course, if one has the power of a saint-level soul, it would not be difficult to refine the divine consciousness in this relic, and it could also strengthen one's own divine consciousness power."

"I see. Thank you, Great Elder, for clearing up my confusion!"

Lu Tiandu showed a look of sudden enlightenment.

The Tianpeng Relic, as one of the treasures of the Tianpeng clan, was actually prepared specifically for the holy sons and holy masters with extraordinary bloodlines in the clan to quickly improve their cultivation.

Generally speaking, after refining a complete Tianpeng relic, it is enough to allow a high-level flying spirit general to reach the peak of the initial stage of flying spirit commander or for the initial stage of flying spirit commander to directly advance to the intermediate stage.

With enough relics to choose from, this relic that seemed dangerous but contained great opportunities was naturally ignored by the Tianpeng Saints.

"In that case, I will choose this relic. My spiritual power is currently at a bottleneck, and I don't need too much Kunpeng power to reach the perfection of Fei Lingshuai. This relic is just right for me!"

Lu Tiandu thought for a moment and said.

"Well, with your cultivation level, it shouldn't be difficult to refine this relic."

Jin Yue also nodded.

Although Lu Tiandu has never revealed his spiritual power, it is not difficult for him to carry these chaotic spiritual powers with his strong physical body, and after refining them, he can indeed increase his spiritual power a lot.

Jin Yue didn't say anything further about this.

After taking the relic from Jin Yue, Lu Tiandu sat cross-legged without saying a word and swallowed the round bead into his stomach to refine it.

Other saints with lower cultivation bases still need the help of elders to refine their relics, but with Lu Tiandu's cultivation base, this naturally is not necessary.

These elders naturally understood this truth and waited patiently.

In fact, as long as Lu Tiandu has done some preliminary refining, the ceremony can be completed.

An hour later, Lu Tiandu slowly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be some surprise in his eyes.

"Changsheng, what's the problem?"

At this time, Bai Ning stepped forward and said with concern.

Jin Yue, who had been watching Lu Tiandu, also noticed the strangeness on Lu Tiandu's face and looked over quietly.

"I am fine."

Lu Tiandu nodded to Bai Ning, took out a blank jade slip, and quickly copied the spell of Kunpeng's transformation from the Jingzhe Jue that he had obtained from the remaining consciousness of Great Elder Hongyun.

"I didn't expect that there was indeed some opportunity this time. The Great Elder knew it at a glance."

Lu Tiandu did not hesitate, and flicked his finger, and the jade slip flew to Jin Yue. Jin Yue seemed to have thought of something, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He took the jade slip, and a crystal thread shot out from his brow and sank into the jade slip to observe it.

After a moment, Jin Yue smiled, looked at Lu Tiandu, bowed, and said:
"Son of God is indeed blessed with great fortune. I never expected that the Jingzhe Jue created by our clan's Great Elder Hongyun would reappear in our clan. I would like to thank you, Son of God!"

"You are too polite, Great Elder!"

Lu Tiandu also returned the greeting.

The people on the altar were basically all core members of the Tianpeng tribe. After hearing what Jin Yue said, they all had a look of surprise and expectation on their faces. While thanking Lu Tiandu, they all looked at Jin Yue.

At this time, Jin Yue smiled and said:

"Great Elder Hongyun is indeed a brilliant man of our clan. The Jingzhe Jue he created is indeed quite good. With this Jue, as long as we practice it, the power of our Tianpeng transformation will be increased by 30 to 40 percent..."

"Really? I didn't expect that Great Elder Hongyun would leave this magic formula he created inside his relic before he passed away!"

Elder Xu had a look of regret on his face.

According to the clan's rules, this kind of relic is basically taken by the Holy Lord, and it is of no great use to holy-level monks like them. Therefore, for countless years no one has thought of exploring the secrets from this relic.

"But the great elder Hongyun went mad and died. Will this spell have any consequences?"

At this time, Bai Ning asked in confusion.

"I've taken a quick look and there's nothing wrong with it. He probably didn't die because of this transformation method."

Jin Yue shook her head.

"In that case, once the core members of our clan practice this method, our clan's strength will increase a lot!"

On the other side, Elder Wang also said with joy.

"Well, but in order to prevent any accidents, let us elders practice first. If there are no accidents, then let the tribe members practice!"

Jin Yue thought for a moment before speaking, and then copied a few more jade slips and threw them to the other four elders.

Sure enough, after Elder Xu and the others read this spell, they were pleasantly surprised.

The look he gave Lu Tiandu became more and more kind.

Lu Tiandu didn't say much about this.

With his spiritual power, it was not difficult for him to receive the information left by Hong Yun in his spiritual thoughts, and he obtained all the contents about the twelve methods of change in the Jingzhe Jue at one time.

It was no big deal for him to return the part about Tianpeng's transformation to the Tianpeng clan.

After this matter was over, Jin Yue and the other five elders returned to their own caves one by one and couldn't wait to comprehend the new secret technique of Tianpeng transformation, while Lu Tiandu still stayed in Bai Ning's cave.

Of course, he also went into seclusion under the pretext of continuing to refine the Tianpeng relic.

"This Great Elder Hongyun is indeed a genius!"

In the stone bead world, Lu Tian was carefully comprehending the twelve methods of transformation of true spirit forms in the Jingzhe Jue, and couldn't help but sigh.

The great elder Hongyun, through painstaking study of the art of Tianpeng's Dharmakaya transformation, was able to draw inferences from one instance to another, and took great pains to collect the blood of many true spirits. With the help of the blood of the true spirits, he performed many true spirit transformations, thus combining many true spirit transformation methods in one. His talent was truly amazing.

This secret technique, which he called "Qingzhe Jue", was not only successfully created by Hong Yun, but Hong Yun also finally deduced it to the twelfth change.

Of course, it was also because he had only reached the peak of the fusion realm, so his mind and physical strength could not keep up. In the end, his body contained too much true spirit blood at the same time, and he was backfired by the true blood, and went mad and died.

And if he had the cultivation level of a Mahayana, it probably wouldn't have come to this.

At that time, not only can it completely suppress the mutations of many true bloods, but it can also continue to deduce this Jingzhe Jue.

By that time, he will surely be a famous figure in the entire spiritual world. With the many spiritual powers he can display, he will probably be able to fight even if he meets a true immortal.

Of course, when the Great Elder Hongyun first created the Twelve Changes of Jingzhe, his idea seemed to be to enhance the fighting power and unify the entire Feiling Clan. In fact, as long as he advances to the Mahayana stage, he can achieve this goal simply by relying on the twelve transformations.

Unfortunately, he was similar to the Great Yan God who created the Great Yan Jue. He was obsessed with the secret technique and neglected the improvement of his cultivation, and ultimately failed.

"The practice of this Jingzhe transformation secret technique is closely related to the practitioner's physical body, soul, and true blood. My physical body and soul are far superior to those of other cultivators, and I also have several kinds of true spirits and true blood in my hands. It is easy for me to practice this technique!"

Lu Tian thought of the twelve transformations recorded in the Jingzhe Jue, namely, the Wandering Kunpeng, the Five-Colored Peacock, the Mountain Giant Ape, the True Dragon, the Sky Phoenix, the Blue Luan, the Thunder Peng, the Black Tortoise, the Nightmare, the Teng Snake, the Baxia and the Zhu Yan, and smiled slightly.

"And judging from the records of this secret technique, Hong Yun has not cultivated the innate magical powers corresponding to these true spirits. He only relies on the magical powers that come with the transformation of true blood into true spirit form to fight the enemy, but he has not been able to truly bring out the full power of this secret technique!"

Lu Tiandu has two true spirits, Youluo and Min Yan, by his side, and he knows the source of the true spirits' power very well.

The true spirit is born from the origin of heaven and earth. The foundation of its innate strength lies in the true spirit body, true spirit soul and true spirit supernatural powers that are closely related to the origin of heaven and earth.

This transformation technique is obviously just to use the true blood to possess a true spirit body for a short period of time. Although one naturally possesses extraordinary supernatural powers, it is far from a real true spirit body.

There is no need to explain how difficult it is to cultivate a true spiritual body. After all, not everyone can obtain the immortal secret technique "Ni Ling Zhen Yin Da Fa" and cultivate an acquired true spiritual body.

As for the true spirit and true soul, there is no need to think about it. There is no other way except to possess the body. And to possess the true spirit, this kind of difficulty needs no further explanation.

In this case, if one wants to use the method of true spirit transformation to enhance combat capability and gain some of the power of the true spirit, the key lies in cultivating the corresponding true spirit magical powers.

The method of true spirit transformation (temporary true spirit body) is combined with true spirit-level magical powers. In this way, the power of this secret art of transformation in fighting against the enemy will undergo a qualitative change.

In fact, Lu Tiandu was very clear about this when he first entered the Tianpeng Holy City, transformed into Kunpeng, and with the help of Cangyuan Qingfeng, instantly crossed seven or eight hundred miles to reach the Fengling Tower.

As for the original plot, after Han Li mastered the Jingzhe Jue, the two most commonly used magical powers were the Mountain Giant Ape and Kunpeng, which obviously also proves this point.

The True Spirit Mountain Giant Ape is naturally extremely powerful and has amazing defensive capabilities. Because Han Li has cultivated both his Dharma and body, his physical body is extremely strong. Even if he does not understand the Mountain Giant Ape's innate magical powers, he can still unleash great power when using this secret technique of transformation.

The same goes for Kunpeng's transformation. Han Li's Wind and Thunder Wings contain Kunpeng and Tianfeng feathers. With the help of Wind and Thunder Wings and Kunpeng's transformation, his expertise in speed is needless to say.

As for Han Li's other true spirit transformations, because he had no external force to borrow, he did not understand the corresponding true spirit magical powers, and he did not have a true spirit body. Therefore, they were much worse overall, and it was difficult to use them against enemies of the same level.

"In this way, before I cultivate a true spirit body, if I want to rely on this Jingzhe Jue to improve my overall combat power, I can only practice the true spirit transformation method that I have mastered as much as possible!"

"As for other transformation methods, even if they are mastered, the improvement in combat power is limited, and the premise is that my body and soul must continue to grow..."

Lu Tian even recalled the fate of Hong Yun who went mad and died because of his insufficient cultivation and forced to absorb the twelve kinds of true blood. (End of this chapter)
