My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 513 New Road
Shen Changchuan is generally very cautious in his actions.

Even though this time he used himself as a test subject for creating a new method, it seemed like he was courting death.

But all of this was only done after weighing the consequences and making sure I could handle them.

Shen Changchuan had considered the possibility of failure.
The worst outcome,

It was nothing more than a series of mishaps that damaged his body's meridians and caused him serious injury.

But this isn't a big problem.

With the ability of the Spirit Transformation Pool, he can recover quickly.

So he decided to take a gamble.

Fortunately,

The final result was very satisfactory to Shen Changchuan.

This time,
He did more than simply complete the goal of fusing and refining the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Gu into his own body.
Furthermore, it has carved out a new path from the path of Gu!
Yes,

It has opened up a new path!

This path of refining and fusion,

It was a new path that Shen Changchuan discovered by integrating his mastery of Gu Dao secret techniques, alchemy, formations, and other cultivation skills, and then using himself as a test subject and with the help of the Spirit Transformation Pool!
And such a method

It was also something Shen Changchuan had never seen before among all the Gu Dao secret techniques he had collected!
Even the closest,
It's nothing more than a strange technique that uses Gu worms to replace a part of the body.

But to be honest,

Compared to the method created by Shen Changchuan, those other strange techniques are at least five or six thousand miles apart, if not a hundred thousand miles.

If the method created by Shen Changchuan is like Captain America fused with Superman serum, then...

That limb-changing technique is merely a cybernetic prosthetic body.

"My magical power is circulating normally, and the speed and quality of the refined magical power have even improved. I also have no physical discomfort, and my blood and qi are flowing more smoothly. It is certain that fusing and refining this Golden Wind Jade Dew Gu not only has no problems, but has also enhanced my aptitude!"

"Such a harvest makes all the risk I took worthwhile!"

Calm down,

After a thorough examination of the body,
After confirming that there were no problems,
Shen Changchuan finally felt a little relieved.

At this time,
In his mind,
And so, a thought arose:
"Since the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Gu can be fused and refined into my spine, greatly enhancing my aptitude, should I also refine the Void Escape Gu into my own hands so that I can better control the power of space?"

Once such a thought arises,
It burned wildly, like a wildfire.

But upon closer examination...
Shen Changchuan immediately dismissed the idea.

"If I could integrate the Void Escape Gu into my palm, it might lower the threshold for mastering its power, just like the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Gu. But this is, after all, a process of refining and modifying the body, so I still have to be careful."

"It may not have any effect on cultivation level now, but it may have an effect on higher cultivation levels."

"Only refine one Golden Wind Jade Dew Gu into the spine. If problems arise later, just prepare a few more bottles of Bone Regeneration Pills and top-grade healing pills. Then, just dig out the spine piece by piece, and use those healing pills to make the body regenerate the spine to replace it. Finally, use body refining techniques to temper and strengthen the newly grown spine."

"But if one becomes path dependent on this, and fuses and refines too many Gu worms, resulting in the entire body being fused and modified, then if problems arise in the future, can the entire body be dismantled and regenerated?"

"That's probably something that can only be achieved through blood rebirth in fantasy novels. Even legendary Xuan Dan realm ancestors might not be able to reach that level."

"So be it! The Golden Wind and Jade Dew Gu is related to the speed of cultivation and has a great effect on the path of cultivation. It is worth taking a little risk for it."

"But as for the Void Escape Gu, let's forget about it."

A thought flashed through Shen Changchuan's mind.
I've already made up my mind.
The idea of ​​using the Void-Escape Gu was completely suppressed.

Although he was the first person to fuse and refine Gu worms into his body, he pioneered a new path.

However, the prospects of this path, and whether it will affect cultivation in the future, remain unknown. Further observation is needed.

Therefore,
Being steady and composed is still very important.

not to mention,
The Void-Traveling Gu simply grants cultivators a certain degree of spatial traversal ability when they reach the Out-of-Body stage.

Aside from that, it doesn't have any other special function.

This effect is too simplistic.

It's not worth the risk for Shen Changchuan.

Because once one's cultivation reaches the Profound Core realm, one will automatically gain control over the space.

Even before reaching the Xuan Dan stage,
It is also possible to master the power of space.

After all, before coming here,

My master once took out a flying boat that could travel through space and let me gain insights while traveling through space. I did gain some insights from it.

If it were someone with extraordinary comprehension, they might have grasped a portion or two of the power of space when they reached the Divine Travel Realm.

At the risk of potentially damaging one's cultivation potential in the future,

In order to gain some time and master the spatial power that will inevitably be within my grasp in the future,
The price-performance ratio is really too low.

It was not taken by him.

Regain your composure.

Shen Changchuan focused his gaze on his own body.

"When the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Gu is used in overclocked mode after fusion and refinement, the side effects are reduced by dozens of times, but they still exist."

"That's normal. A surge in magical power will inevitably have a certain impact on the dantian meridians, as well as muscles and bones."

"Hmm, if I want to maintain this overclocking state for a long enough time, then in the future, I may need to further improve my physique! Only a sufficiently strong physique can withstand the impact of the surge in magical power on the body!"

"Body Refinement Method"

Shen Changchuan hesitated.

Speaking of,
When he asked his master for top-tier second-order spells, his master gave him two top-tier second-order sword spells, as well as a body-refining secret technique called the Golden Body Overlord Technique.

However, during the subsequent cultivation process,

Due to a lack of experience in perfecting the secret techniques of body tempering, Shen Changchuan's progress was rather slow.

Even now,

The progress bar for the Golden Body Invincible Technique is only 10% complete.

I can only say that I've barely scratched the surface.

Such progress truly made Shen Changchuan feel somewhat ashamed.

"The physical body plays a significant role in cultivation. Legend has it that body cultivators can even cultivate their bodies to the point of being comparable to spiritual artifacts, thus gaining a great advantage in combat."

"Perhaps, I should also put some effort into this."

Shen Changchuan's eyes flickered.

Now I happen to be in the Jade Purity Immortal Sect.
I wonder if I can enter the Immortal Sect's Scripture Pavilion and collect some body-refining techniques.
