From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 173 The Dawn of Dharma Form

You Ming's countless thoughts flowed like mercury, but inside they were turbulent and intense.

At this moment, his thoughts, like a divine dragon emerging from its shell, soared and rose above his sea of ​​consciousness. All his experiences, knowledge, intuition, and memories surged forth and rapidly connected.

The Taoist books, formation diagrams, and methods he had read over the years unfolded page by page as if turned over by an invisible hand.

In fact, he had experienced many days of greatly enhanced understanding and overflowing insights.

With a single thought, a line of spiritual light, like a vein of light in water, flowed from his throat to below his navel. In its shimmering light, the fine details of his skeletal structure were reflected within his inner spirit.

At the same time, runes were also reflected, filling the gaps in the skeleton as if they were fresh flesh and blood.

A slender dorsal fin slowly unfurled along his back.

At this moment, his Yin spirit body was already incredibly close to the Dharma form. Even without wearing the [Fetal Light Outer Robe], You Ming dared to expose his Yin spirit to sunlight and cold wind.

However, his Dharma form still lacks the power to coordinate the entire body.

It's like a robot without batteries, or a living person without a soul.

As You Ming's mind raced, he became somewhat anxious and agitated. The feeling of being so close yet always just out of reach almost drove him to develop inner demons.

If he can't grasp the concept with 10 points of comprehension, then he wants to increase his comprehension further.

However, once his comprehension level exceeds 10, the pressure on his body will increase exponentially.

“My Dharma form… is like a hastily assembled set of building blocks, it would collapse with the slightest touch… it’s all an illusion…”

You Ming's expression was somewhat ferocious. He felt as if he was heading in the wrong direction. The end of that direction seemed to have a correct answer, but the answer felt like a mirage to him.

The deeper he tried to understand, the more wrong he became.

In the end, nothing was gained.

This has become his obsession.

"Om."

At the last moment, the [Return to Origin of the Radiant] in his mind emitted a faint spiritual light, dispelling the gloom in his consciousness and allowing him to regain some clarity.

You Ming quickly activated [Equal Quantity Adjustment], lowering his comprehension to 9 points and raising his will to 7 points, thus completely dispelling the obsession in his heart.

His mind regained its rationality, much like someone who had been dozing off in class suddenly breaking out in a cold sweat and regaining consciousness.

He felt a lingering fear; once comprehension or spirituality far surpassed willpower, various risks would arise, and he had been too radical.

"It seems I've gained nothing today. My Dharma form still lacks a unified force to govern it. Right now, it's like a collection of hastily assembled building blocks, ready to collapse at the slightest touch..."

You Ming shook his head, but suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

“Building blocks… Yes, my current Dharma form is like a building block.”

"If they were ordinary building blocks, no matter how you stack them, they wouldn't come to life. But... what if they were building blocks from the Minecraft version?"

"As long as the rules of the building blocks match the external world and their logic is self-consistent, the building blocks can also have life."

At that moment, You Ming's mind was once again flooded with boundless inspiration.

The crucial line that he had been unable to grasp all this time appeared after he lowered his comprehension level slightly.

"I understand!"

"If I consider the Dharma as a mecha, as an exoskeleton to house the Yin Spirit, what I need to do now is to use the power of the [Mirage] to construct a logically self-consistent body!"

When his thoughts turned to this point, his mind suddenly clicked. "Boom!"

The Dharma image he had previously constructed was rapidly collapsing. Despite the many years of effort it had taken him, he abandoned it without hesitation or regret.

That's how spiritual practice works. Once you get stuck on the wrong path, you'll only sink deeper and deeper.

It requires great wisdom, great courage, and great decisiveness!
“I have seen the road ahead. There are no more obstacles on my way to the Dharma Form.”

You Ming's gaze was intense, resolute, and earnest. Although reconstructing his Dharma form wouldn't be easy, he felt no fear.

……

"My lord, the City God has sent a message inviting you to meet at the county government office."

Wu Mo handed a document to You Ming and said respectfully.

You Ming awoke from his cultivation, slightly surprised. In the past, Zhu Xin would deliver such messages, so why was a document sent today?

However, he immediately burst into laughter.

This must not be good news. Zhu Xin always only spreads good news and never bad news. He probably found an excuse not to deliver the message, so the City God sent the message directly.

"Very well, I haven't seen the City God for a long time. Please prepare some small gifts for me, and I will come over in an hour."

You Ming nodded and took the document.

The document didn't specify what the matter was, but the language was very urgent.

An hour later, a five-colored light suddenly appeared on Yuanling Mountain, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a long rainbow, heading towards Changning County.

Some cultivators from nearby schools and markets looked up at the rainbow, feeling a slight chill in their hearts.

It is said that the master of Yuanling Mountain is not only a person of the divine path, but also cultivates immortal techniques. Judging from the aura of his flight, his strength is quite formidable.

I just don't know if he has reached the level of Dharma form.

Yuanling Mountain is very close to the county town. For You Ming now, it's just a matter of a few steps, and he can arrive in the blink of an eye.

As he approached the city, he transformed from the merman's spirit form into a boy dressed in a green robe.

The image of a child is his divine form in the realm of gods, and naturally he cannot be disrespectful when meeting the City God.

He strode up to the City God's office. When the underworld officials saw that it was the Lord of Yuanling Mountain who had arrived, they quickly went in to report.

In a short while, he entered the flower hall in the backyard of the yamen, which was also the place where the City God received guests.

"Brother You Mingxian, it's been many years since we last met."

Because the City God's office had never handed over the population of other villages to You Ming for management, You Ming had less contact with the City God in recent years, and he declined all the activities in the city.

The City God did not reveal his official form at this moment, but was dressed in an ordinary blue robe, with a four-colored mask on his face, making it impossible to see his true appearance.

“I know that you have some dissatisfaction with me, so I apologize to you first.”

The City God walked up to You Ming and bowed slightly.

You Ming was startled and quickly jumped off the chair, refusing the courtesy.

"You flatter me by saying that. I will never dare to set foot in your house again."

You Ming thought to himself that the City God's methods were indeed shrewd and powerful. He started with such a move, so even if he had a thousand or ten thousand complaints, he could not vent them.
