Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 407 Magical Powers

Li Zhen's divine sense swept over the body of the Xuanwu Divine Beast. Although the Xuanwu Divine Beast had perished, its body still possessed an energy that protected the few remaining disciples of the Nanyue Divine Sect.

"Lord Yuwen, order your men to arrange for these disciples to join the North Sea Divine Sect and establish the Southern Mountain lineage!" He turned to Yuwen Huashen and instructed him.

"Respectfully obeying the Supreme Sect Master's command!" Yu Wenhua bowed and accepted the order.

Li Zhen's divine sense enveloped the remaining disciples of the Southern Mountain Divine Sect. After the previous massacre by the fifth-tier Heavenly Demon, most of the remaining disciples were low-level disciples. He moved these disciples out of the range of the Xuanwu Divine Beast's body.

He then removed the mountain gate of the Nanyue Divine Sect from the body of the Xuanwu Divine Beast and stored it in his spatial items.

Only when the library was found did they copy the fourth-order and earlier parts of the Southern Mountain Divine Sect's inheritance onto a separate jade slip and hand it over to Yu Wenhua.

As for the idea of ​​producing a Nascent Soul cultivator from the Nanyue lineage, neither Li Zhen nor Yu Wen would be willing to do so.

No one wants to cultivate a Nascent Soul cultivator for the now-extinct Southern Mountain Divine Sect; that would be creating an enemy for themselves.

In the end, only the corpse of the Xuanwu Divine Beast remained, and Li Zhen was very troubled about what to do with it.

The corpse of the Xuanwu divine beast is definitely a top-tier resource, whether in the immortal realm, the demon realm, or the medieval world.

The corpse of the Xuanwu Divine Beast is a fifth-tier resource. Fifth-tier resources cannot be generated naturally in any world; the only way to obtain them is through a powerful fifth-tier body.

The problem is that it's a stretch to consider the physical body of an ordinary god-level being a fifth-tier resource, because the physical bodies of most human god-level beings don't meet the standard.

Human beings who cultivate their physical bodies to become deities, like the Buddha Mingxin, are extremely rare. Such deities who cultivate both their physical and spiritual bodies require too many resources and are very difficult to sustain.

Li Zhen has two options regarding the use of the Xuanwu divine beast's corpse.

One method is to refine the corpse of the Xuanwu divine beast into a fifth-tier spiritual treasure. In fact, magical artifacts that reach the fifth tier should have their own names.

However, none of the three worlds he experienced contained fifth-tier magical artifacts, so he still referred to fifth-tier magical artifacts as spiritual treasures.

Secondly, the corpse of the Xuanwu divine beast can be refined into a fifth-order undead. Based on the essence of the divine beast, the strength of the refined fifth-order undead will far exceed that of the fifth-order Wukong.

Either option will maximize the use of the Xuanwu divine beast's corpse.

If a fifth-tier spiritual treasure is crafted, then the Xuanwu divine beast's massive body can annihilate everything simply by its weight.

Using a fifth-tier spiritual treasure in battle allows one to unleash power comparable to divine abilities without using any supernatural powers. Furthermore, using a fifth-tier spiritual treasure in battle does not consume lifespan.

This is equivalent to finding a lossless way to fight, giving them a huge advantage at the Nascent Soul level.

Li Zhen actually preferred to refine a fifth-order spiritual treasure, but the problem was that the corpse of the Xuanwu Divine Beast was too large, and there was no precedent to refer to when refining a fifth-order spiritual treasure, so he had to figure it out on his own.

He was not skilled in weapon crafting, but had some knowledge of talisman making and formations.

Generally, once someone reaches the Nascent Soul stage, they are not omnipotent, but they are not far off.

The reason why Li Zhen is only good at making talismans and formations is because he is too young. In addition, his human body has not yet advanced to the Nascent Soul stage. The difficulty of refining weapons with a fifth-order Chaos Dragon body is many times greater than that of a human body.

The classic texts on weapon crafting are all based on the human body, especially the crafting of high-level spiritual treasures, which requires the help of Nascent Soul Fire.

The fire control section in weapon crafting manuals mainly focuses on Nascent Soul Fire, while other flames are less common and have been lost, making them of little reference value.

Replacing the Nascent Soul Fire with the Dragon Flame of the Chaos Divine Dragon requires considering too many factors and will bring great trouble to the refining of spiritual treasures.

Besides, even if Li Zhen mastered the method of refining artifacts using the Chaos Divine Dragon, it would take countless years to refine the corpse of the Xuanwu Divine Beast into a fifth-tier spiritual treasure.

Li Zhen shook his head. He decided to collect the corpse of the Xuanwu Divine Beast first and consider it later.

If the Xuanwu Divine Beast's corpse weren't so enormous, he would have another option: to devour it using the Dragon Heart Space.

He greatly envied the physical strength of the Xuanwu Divine Beast. If he could obtain the body-refining energy from the Xuanwu Divine Beast's corpse within the Dragon Heart Space, his physical body would be greatly enhanced. "If I could really absorb the body-refining energy transformed from the Xuanwu Divine Beast's corpse, wouldn't it be easier to cope with the tribulation of ascension?" He suddenly thought of a possibility, and immediately abandoned his ideas about refining weapons and creating fifth-order undead.

He placed the most important thing—using the Dragon Heart Space to devour the Xuanwu Divine Beast's corpse—which was originally the least likely option.

As for the problem that the Xuanwu divine beast's corpse was too large to be sent into the Dragon Heart Space for devouring, it is not unsolvable.

As long as the Xuanwu divine beast's corpse is cut into pieces large enough to fit into the Dragon Heart Space, the Dragon Heart Space can then devour it.

Thinking of this, his gaze towards the corpse of the Xuanwu Divine Beast was filled with fervor.

"Lord Yu Wen, is there any spatial item in this world that can hold the corpse of the Xuanwu Divine Beast?" Li Zhen asked Yu Wen, a Nascent Soul cultivator, after examining the size of the Xuanwu Divine Beast's corpse.

"Reporting to the Supreme Sect Master, the North Sea Divine Sect possesses a divine power called 'Size at Will,' which can enlarge or shrink all things. It should meet your needs!" Yu Wenhua replied after only a moment's consideration.

"Such supernatural power exists!" Li Zhen was overjoyed.

He thought of how to use the 'Size at Will' supernatural power. If he could shrink the corpse of the Xuanwu Divine Beast, he could store it in the Dragon Heart Space, and then he wouldn't have to worry about cutting up the Xuanwu Divine Beast's corpse.

Cutting open the corpse of the Xuanwu divine beast must not be a simple task, as it is the creature with the highest defense in the world.

The flesh and blood of the Xuanwu Divine Beast's corpse were relatively intact, as the Chaos Dragon's claws could still separate them. However, the largest tortoise shell on the Xuanwu Divine Beast's back was a single, intact piece.

Even the claws of the Chaos Dragon wouldn't be able to scratch that turtle shell.

Does he really intend to repeatedly expend his lifespan and use his supernatural powers to cut open the corpse of the Xuanwu Divine Beast? That would be far too wasteful.

His only fifth-tier attack that didn't require him to pay a price was the fifth-tier evil mental attack of a fifth-tier Heavenly Demon, but it had no effect on the Xuanwu Divine Beast's corpse.

“To cultivate the ‘Size at Will’ supernatural power, you need to return to your sect to comprehend it!” Yu Wenhua then said.

Many supernatural abilities are not easily learned, and most of them are not recorded in jade slips, but rather their characteristics are attached to a spiritual object.

The cultivator comprehends the spiritual object and comprehends its supernatural powers.

Although Yu Wenhua said this, he did not believe that the Chaos Divine Dragon could quickly master the "Size at Will" divine power, and it was even normal that it could not comprehend the "Size at Will" divine power.

"Do you have a talisman with the 'Size at Will' supernatural power?" Li Zhen thought that if he went to the North Sea Divine Sect to comprehend the 'Size at Will' supernatural power, it would take too long. He wanted the simplest method.

Yu Wenhua, a Nascent Soul cultivator, possessed a 'Size at Will' divine power talisman. This fifth-tier divine power talisman was an unparalleled treasure for other cultivators, but it was merely ordinary for a Nascent Soul cultivator.

With the accumulation of countless years by the Beihai Divine Sect, they have no shortage of supernatural talismans.

Li Zhen accepted the 'Size at Will' talisman. He was currently in the form of a Chaos Divine Dragon, and he opened his mouth and swallowed the 'Size at Will' talisman.

In fact, the 'Size at Will' supernatural talisman had already entered the Dragon Heart Space, and he made the Dragon Heart Space devour the 'Size at Will' supernatural talisman.

Before long, he obtained everything about the 'Size at Will' supernatural power, including a 'Size at Will' supernatural power rune and a Nascent Soul cultivator's lifelong insights into the 'Size at Will' supernatural power.

The "Size at Will" supernatural power is an advanced version of the "Size at Will" supernatural power, and it may have been inspired by the "Size at Will" supernatural power of demonic beasts.

Although Li Zhen had not learned the "Freedom of Size" supernatural power, he had come into contact with demonic beasts that possessed it.

Of course, the "size at will" supernatural power is a fifth-order supernatural power, while the "size freely" supernatural power is an innate supernatural power of a fourth-order demon king, and there is a great difference between the two.

Li Zhen extended a dragon claw and drew complex divine runes in the void.

Yu Wenhua, who was standing to the side, suddenly widened his eyes, as if he had witnessed some kind of miracle.

Because the Chaos Dragon in front of them was using the 'Size at Will' divine power, and its performance was very skillful, without the slightest awkwardness.
