Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 217: Dragon Transformation and Phoenix Devouring
Ten thousand merits of the earthly path are consumed, and one thought lasts for eighty-one years.

Lin Le will devote himself to cultivation and continuously strengthen his foundation, eventually advancing his cultivation to the peak of the ninth transformation of the Nascent Soul stage.

As for the ultimate realm, there is no one beyond the Nascent Soul stage; the ultimate realm only exists in the lower three realms.

The spirit and body also reach their peak through accumulation over time.

After regaining his senses, Lin Le's body spontaneously absorbed the resources around him, and his cultivation level truly broke through to the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

The red markings on his body expanded rapidly, covering Lin Le's entire body. Then they suddenly twisted and solidified, forming some kind of symbol. But ultimately, due to some kind of restriction, they dissipated, leaving only the dense red markings.

Three days later, Lin Le finally devoured all the resources, completely transforming them into his own strength.

Clenching his fist and squeezing the air, Lin Le felt that he could blast a mountain apart with his physical body.

The combined power of the eighteen savage dragons multiplied by ten times the power pattern results in such might.

Lin Le calmed himself down for a while, then closed his eyes again, because he hadn't finished his breakthrough yet.

He took a deep breath, and the dense lotus roots within his inner vision dissipated, all merging into his body.

Meanwhile, the Yang Spirit Root within his spine was nourished and quickly spread throughout Lin Le's entire body, seeping into Lin Le's bone marrow and forming faint golden patterns.

Some of the golden patterns slowly turned blood-red, which was the Dragon Sparrow Martial Body fusing together.

As if sensing something, Lin Le infused the True Meaning of Creation and the True Meaning of Primordial Chaos into the Yellow Court Secret Realm and the Primordial Chaos Secret Realm respectively.

The two true meanings merged with the original true meaning, thus connecting heaven and earth.

Then the main road opened its doors here.

A long golden-red dragon coiled around the Yellow Court Nascent Soul, while a golden-red dragon-bird crashed into the Spirit Platform Nascent Soul and merged with it.

As a result, Lin Le's physical constitution underwent some minor adjustments, and the power patterns on his body twisted again. This time, it succeeded, with dragon-shaped patterns coiling around his arms and patterns resembling dragons spreading their wings covering his back.

Three more days passed, and Lin Le's body was completely perfected, and its name was—

Transformation into a Dragon Devouring a Phoenix!
The name was created by Lin Le himself, because this can be said to be an unprecedented treasure body, and only he was able to evolve such a treasure body by chance.

unprecedented.

Lin Le clenched his fist and unleashed a dragon-shaped burst of energy that landed on a distant mountaintop.

Boom! The mountaintop exploded, the smoke and dust resembling flames and lotus flowers.

This is one of the two supernatural powers of the Dragon-Swallowing-Phoenix Body – the finishing touch of painting a dragon. It is naturally in harmony with the Great Dao of Creation, and any attack can be brought to life, as if a real dragon were to strike.

It can be seen as an evolved version of the phenomenon "True Dragon Playing with a Pearl," but while "True Dragon Playing with a Pearl" could only activate magic, this time it can activate magic power, soul, and body.

Another supernatural power is the Primordial Phoenix True Bone, a passive supernatural power whose function is to transform Lin Le into a human-shaped phoenix.

However, this supernatural power is still missing an important catalyst: the essence of the phoenix.

Without the essence of blood, Lin Le could not comprehend the phoenix's divine powers; he merely possessed the phoenix's talent in vain.

'Phoenix essence blood... I wonder if the Xuan Tian Sect has any?'

Lin Le looked at his palm, clenched it, and faint ripples appeared, which were spatial ripples.

After the universal power runes evolved into unique power runes belonging to his personal body, Lin Le's strength rose to another level.

At this level, there are no longer any quantifiable terms to describe physical strength, because there are all kinds of quantifiable terms at higher levels. Even simple physical attacks are accompanied by the Great Dao and cannot be measured by numbers.

Therefore, it is uniformly referred to as the Elephant Throwing Realm.

Within the same realm, the true strength of a person can usually only be determined by a physical confrontation. At the Nascent Soul Ninth Transformation and the Elephant Throwing Realm, even if he couldn't defeat that old bastard, he should be able to protect himself without worry.

"You old bastard, giving me two or three years to recover was the biggest mistake of your life."

Lin Le gazed into the distance, revealing a set of sharp, white teeth, like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.

In the spring of the year 13499 of the Tai Xuan calendar, in March, a jade slip was sent to the Xuan Tian Sect through a channel.

After reading the jade slip, the elder in charge of delivering the message changed his expression drastically. He then set the jade slip to the highest level and passed it on to the inner sect.

This jade slip was passed down to the sect leader.

In the Xuantian Palace, the sect leader Yunxiaozi and the deputy sect leader Jiulingzi looked at the jade slip in front of them in silence.

They never expected that simply sending Lingzhu down the mountain to temper her character would result in her bringing back such a great gift.

He actually obtained the territory that could serve as the foundation for the Nine Treasures Sect.

The price was simply that the Nine Treasures Sect's lineage was merged into the Profound Heaven Sect, establishing a new lineage, and that someone would carry on the legacy.

"Junior brother, do you think it's better to open a branch sect or merge into the Seventy-Two Peaks?" Yunxiaozi asked.

After thinking for a moment, Jiu Lingzi gave a seemingly irrelevant answer: "I think these seventy-two peaks can be further divided into thirty-six heavenly peaks and seventy-two earthly peaks."

Yunxiaozi raised an eyebrow: "Why?"

“Taking from those who are not wealthy to give to those who are wealthy,” Jiu Lingzi said. “The gap between the two extremes within the sect is widening. Some peaks are producing a constant stream of Nascent Soul cultivators, while the weaker peaks are on the verge of extinction.”

"This also leads to the better peaks bullying the worse ones in order to obtain more resources. In the long run, those worse Dao veins may have rebellious intentions."

"Why not take this opportunity to divide it into two levels, so that they can fight each other to different degrees, and also establish a system that allows the Earth Peak to replace the Heaven Peak?"

"This can control the intensity to not exceed a certain range, and also allow the weak peaks to maintain their foundation while the strong peaks move forward."

“Good.” Yunxiaozi nodded slightly. “Junior brother, you must have a draft in mind before you say this.”

“Yes.” Jiu Lingzi nodded. “Ever since my senior brother allowed other peaks to open another lineage, I’ve had this idea. Now, the Nine Treasures Sect’s territory presents a perfect opportunity.”

"Junior Brother Xuling has taken on a fine disciple," Yunxiaozi remarked, then asked with a slight headache, "So, tell me, how should we reward this junior disciple?"

“He is already a true disciple. He is the only disciple of the Void Spirit Sect. He is a promising candidate for the position of sect leader, but he is definitely not suitable for the position of elder, and he cannot be given the position of Dao Child.”

"His status is not good, but what resources can compare to Yifeng, and what can he use?"

"If I give too much, I'm afraid the other disciples in the sect will have bad thoughts; if I give too little, it will be too hurtful."

Jiu Lingzi thought for a moment and said, "Why don't we just ask him directly? But I guess he'll probably want something like a cultivation technique."

"Why do you say that?" Yunxiaozi asked.

“Because this peak passed through his hands, he certainly doesn’t lack resources,” Jiu Lingzi said.

"That's true." Yunxiaozi nodded.

“A year ago, he read extensively in the Sutra Repository. He read a wide variety of books, mostly Nascent Soul cultivation techniques and notes from predecessors. His purpose was twofold: first, to broaden his horizons,” Jiu Lingzi said. “Second, he was probably preparing to create his own orthodox scriptures.”

"So I guess he will most likely ask for the fundamental orthodox teachings of other lineages for reference."

“To create his own school of thought is quite ambitious.” Yunxiaozi nodded. “As for the specifics, we’ll have to see what he wants first. Before that, let’s come up with a plan.”

“That’s true.” Kyūreiko nodded.
