Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 139 Profound Enlightenment: Seeking the Answer Within

The Heavenly Craftsmen belong to the Ministry of Works in the Heavenly Court, and their lowest rank is Spirit Lord.

Su Ji learned from Mo Linglong that Qianbian, the first patriarch of Qianbian Town, was exceptionally talented. He first became a True Immortal, and then, after cultivating in seclusion in Qianbian Town for over a hundred years, he became a True Mystic Immortal.

Subsequently, the Thousand Transformations Ancestor entered the Heavenly Court's Ministry of Works under the identity of the Xuanzhen Two Immortals, and is now a Heavenly Craftsman Official.

After Mo Linglong displayed her natural talent, she cultivated at an extremely fast pace, but she did not awaken her memories immediately. The Thousand Transformations Ancestor did not discover Mo Linglong's identity as a reincarnated Xuanxian.

Later, Mo Linglong's cultivation encountered problems, which her father, the Old Man of Thousand Machines, was unable to handle, so he could only seek help from the Ancestor of Thousand Transformations.

Therefore, the Thousand Transformations Ancestor borrowed a precious spiritual root from the Heavenly Craftsman God of the Ministry of Works, "Winter God," and used the freezing method to preserve Mo Linglong's physical life.

The "God of Winter" is one of the gods of the four seasons. He can be called the God of Heavenly Crafts or the Heavenly King of Works. The Heavenly Emperor may take turns sitting on the throne, but the God of Winter has always been the Heavenly King of Works...

More than eighty years have passed since Mo Linglong's health problems began. Although the Earth Treasure Spirit Root has done its best to preserve Mo Linglong's physical vitality, the profound principles contained within it have already permeated Mo Linglong's body.

If only the Earth Treasure Spiritual Root of the Winter God is taken away, the profound principles of the Earth Treasure Spiritual Root will inevitably remain in Mo Linglong's body, which is called Dao Traces.

Just like the divine pearl of the Taibai Dragon Clan, which stayed in the large water vein spiritual realm for less than a hundred years, it gradually formed such a large ice altar with its own profound principles. After the Taibai Dragon Clan's divine pearl was taken away, the ice altar still existed with the Dao trace as its core.

In the past few days, Su Ji discovered that after he used the cold energy of the Ice Altar to make ice, the Dao traces in the Ice Altar would operate on their own, absorbing the yin and cold energy in the Water Vein Spirit Realm. As long as he did not overdraw his resources, the Ice Altar could continue to exist.

Similarly, to solve Mo Linglong's problem, it is necessary to remove the Dao traces left by the Earth Treasure Spirit Root as much as possible. The Bright Moon Elf and the Frost Altar are the best antidotes.

Thus, during the discussions, the first step of the plan was outlined.

Su Ji needs to reduce the coldness of the Ice Altar to a minimum, then let the naturally operating Dao traces of the Ice Altar absorb the coldness from Mo Linglong's body, and then use the Moon Spirit's mystical arts to absorb the coldness from vital parts...

A few days ago, Su Ji took away a lot of the cold energy from the Ice Altar. Tomorrow, he only needs to take a little more to meet the requirements.

Subsequently, Su Ji learned about the second difficult step in the plan.

The reason Mo Linglong was frozen by the Earth Treasure Spirit Root was not only to freeze her body to prevent the loss of life, but also to freeze the chaotic human soul and life spirit in her brain.

Later, seeing Mo Linglong's black hair turn gray, the Mo family could only cut off a part of Mo Linglong's soul... They only hoped that Mo Linglong could cultivate to the level of a Dongxuan Master as soon as possible, so that she would have more capacity to bear the memories of her previous life as a Xuanxian.

However, even though Mo Linglong has now reached the cultivation level of a Dongxuan Mage, her human soul and life force are still extremely fragile.

Upon hearing Yan Tianchou's deduction, Su Ji frowned: "The Seven Aperture Heart Stones of the Earth Yang Spiritual Vein bring warmth to Fellow Daoist Mo's physical body, but they cannot isolate the impact of the Xuanxian memories in his brain. The probability of resurrection is only fifty percent?"

A 50% probability is equivalent to a 50/50 chance of life or death; that's the probability of getting heads or tails when flipping a coin.

Of course, even if Mo Linglong's soul cannot withstand the impact of the memories, she will not necessarily die. She may retain a trace of herself, or she may become a mentally unstable person.

The old man Qianji fell silent. He had worked hard for decades, but he had only managed to increase the probability of reviving his daughter Mo Linglong from zero to fifty percent.

Unexpectedly, after the Golden Toad, the Spirit of the Sun, said that, the Old Man of a Thousand Machines suddenly felt somewhat defeated.

"If things remain the same, Linglong, after abandoning her physical body, seems to have a chance to cultivate into a ghost immortal by using the method of activating her dantian!"

If Mo Linglong wants to be resurrected, she will have to risk losing herself. It seems better not to be resurrected for now.

Moreover, not being resurrected does not mean abandoning the physical body. The remnant memories within the physical body can also control the body, without affecting the research on the half-flesh, half-spirit mechanism... The old man of a thousand machines was immediately caught in a dilemma. The gears inside his natal puppet, the Heavenly Craftsman, creaked and even emitted superheated steam.

Mo Linglong remained unmoved, her eyes filled with determination as she said, "If we don't revive him, wouldn't it be a waste of Father's decades of hard work?"

"Moreover, if the remnant soul within the body were to take control, she would surely see me as the greatest enemy on the path of cultivation. In the end, only one consciousness between us could exist in this world!"

The two sides are not only fighting for the uniqueness of self-awareness, but also for the path of the Dao. The profound and mysterious do not possess uniqueness, nor do the traces and principles of the Dao, but the Dao of Heaven and Earth is unique.

If two Mo Linglongs were to appear, they would inevitably fight endlessly for a complete Dao of Heaven and Earth.

"Path?"

Su Ji was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized the truth as if struck by lightning.

The reason he was able to comprehend the "Sun and Moon Heavenly Light and Emptiness Method" based on his past life experience was not only due to his own enlightenment, but also because this principle had not been mastered by any particular immortal or deity.

So much so that Su Ji simply reached out and grasped this fundamental principle of the universe, keeping it firmly in his heart.

At the same time, it also answered the questions in Su Ji's mind.

These days, Su Ji has been able to sense and collect the mysteries of Yin and Yang, but he has not been able to sense the mysteries of the Deviated Realm through [Resonance]. This is because the mysteries are not in the world, but in his own heart!

Yan Tianchou was speechless: "These profound principles are indeed mysterious beyond measure. Who would have thought that you could cultivate a mid-grade profound technique, [Deflection Profound Realm], simply by sensing your inner self while performing profound arts..."

Although Yan Tianchou coexists with Su Ji, he only understands the profound principles based on the [Golden Toad Transformation] technique, and is completely ignorant of the profound principles of Su Ji himself.

"If one seeks the Way externally when there is none, and seeks the Way internally when there is. If one continues to follow this path, wouldn't one eventually reach the pinnacle of the Earthly Immortal realm?"

As things stand, Zhang Xiaolian seems to have mastered a path to immortality, Mo Linglong has mastered a path to earthly immortality, and Su Jineng has hidden the Dao of Heaven and Earth in his heart, clearly also mastering a path to earthly immortality.

So, Su Ji pointed his finger, and the steam rising from the head of the Thousand Machine Old Man began to twist.

This time, Su Ji didn't try to comprehend the world, but instead closed his eyes and focused on understanding his own heart...

"Ok?"

Soon, Mo Linglong noticed something was wrong in the room, and the old master of Thousand Machines also woke up from his confusion, looking up at the ceiling with a puzzled expression.

Then the steam would sometimes drift to the right, sometimes to the left, sometimes disperse in all directions, and sometimes condense into a column of smoke.

"The mystery here seems to belong to Fellow Daoist Jin..." Mo Linglong knew that Su Ji might have fallen into some kind of enlightenment, and she couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

It should be understood that enlightenment is not something that can be achieved casually. Some even call enlightenment a great opportunity in cultivation. If one can gain something from it, then one has a chance to become an Earth Immortal!
Before long, the column of steam suddenly condensed towards the center, and soon raindrops splashed on the roof beams.

At this moment, Su Ji opened his eyes with a smile on his lips and looked at Mo Linglong and the Old Man of Thousand Machines.

"Gentlemen, my innate profound technique has now reached the mid-grade level, which can increase the success rate of the resurrection plan by at least 30%!"
