Chapter 16, "The Law of Usurping Fate," "The Law of the Holy Embryo"

Later, many post-natal beings gathered together, seeking a way to transform their origins and improve their own qualities. Ultimately, under the guidance of several top-level beings, the post-natal beings deduced a method that could continuously transform their own origins and draw upon the power of heaven and earth to continuously elevate their original spirit.

This method of transforming oneself and the source of the script is called the "Metamorphosis of Fate". Taiwei was one of the post-natal beings who deduced the "Metamorphosis of Fate". Taiwei possessed the most complete and most perfectly evolved "Metamorphosis of Fate".

The "Metamorphosis Method" divides the essence of all living beings into four levels: the first level is the innate immortal, the second level is the innate Daoist, the third level is the innate saint, and the fourth level is the primordial saint.

Originally, the fourth level was called the Heavenly Dao True Saint. Unfortunately, Yuanshi was the first to break through to the fourth level, so he abolished the name Heavenly Dao True Saint and named the beings of the fourth level Yuanshi True Saint according to his own Dao title.

In this way, all life cultivators who broke through to the fourth level in the future would nominally owe Yuanshi some karma. At the beginning of the creation of the world, when Taiwei broke through to the fourth level, he also gave Yuanshi a spiritual treasure he had refined with a dark face, which was considered to settle this karma.

In reality, Taiwei was very reluctant to give up this spiritual treasure. In a one-on-one fight, he was about the same level as Yuanshi at the time. Taiwei was not afraid of Yuanshi alone. However, what was frustrating was that the three patriarchs of the Xuanmen sect had always had a close relationship. Taiwei could not defeat three beings of the same level, so he could only grit his teeth and accept it.

Among the four levels, the Innate Immortal is equivalent to an ordinary divine beast of heaven and earth, the Innate Dao True is equivalent to a top-level divine beast of heaven and earth, and the Innate True Saint is the limit of the aptitude of the beings evolved from the origin of heaven and earth.

The original ancestors of the five royal families were all in this stratum at the beginning. However, later, someone passed on the "Metamorphosis of Fate" to the five royal families, which caused the five royal families to begin to transform their own nature.

With the existence of the five royal clans, the original ancestors of the five royal clans did not need to worry about the huge resources required to cultivate the "Metamorphosis of Fate" and one by one they transformed into Primordial True Saints.

However, Long Xiang, who was in front of Taiwei, was rather unlucky. He was intercepted and killed by Taiwei on his way to the far west to find a Taiji Immortal Gold Mine and transform himself into a Primordial True Saint. Therefore, Long Xiang never broke through to become a Primordial True Saint before his death.

The Taiji Immortal Gold Mine that Xuanxiang had painstakingly found was also taken into Taiwei's possession. Just as Taiwei had told Qingnu before, he was indeed not a good person. At the beginning of creation, Taiwei fought a three-year war with the Ancestor of Xuanmen Lingbao, destroying countless mountains and rivers and causing the death of countless living beings.

After these beings died, the Lingbao Patriarch collected their remnant souls, cleansed them of their resentment with the "Scripture of Salvation," and used the blue lotus from his own temple to help them reshape their true forms, thus settling their karmic debts.

Taiwei completely ignored this point. The strong prey on the weak, and only the fittest survive. In this vast and desolate world, anyone could suddenly die. No matter who it is, they deserve to die.

"The royal ancestor plus the innate true saint, the two combined should be able to directly transform me into an innate true saint. As for the primordial true saint, that should be impossible. The innate true saint is barely enough. At least when I communicate with those truly top-level beings of heaven and earth in the future, I won't be much inferior to them for no reason."

Taiwei took a step forward and arrived directly on the massive, mountain-like head of Longxiang. He sat on the crystal-clear, jade-like dragon horn branch on the left. Brilliant spiritual light emanated from Taiwei's body, and the invisible, intangible pure white light suddenly poured down from all around.

Pure white flames slowly burned around Long Xiang's enormous body, while countless spiritual lights shone around Taiwei, whose upright figure suddenly collapsed.

At this moment, rings of Yin and Yang energies merged into Long Xiang's body, which was burning with pure white flames. Then, a white tiger and a black dragon flew out, and amidst the roars of dragons and tigers, the brilliant spiritual light representing Taiwei's own alchemical origin flew in and merged into Long Xiang's body.

In the pure white space, countless fiery clouds burned continuously. Long Xiang's enormous body gradually withered and melted away as it sat amidst the burning pure white true fire. Meanwhile, within Long Xiang's body, Taiwei's cultivation realm and fundamental essence were constantly transforming and sublimating.

This is the "Metamorphosis of Destiny Holy Embryo Method" unique to Taiwei. It uses the essence of others to create one's own dwelling and gathers the great power of heaven and earth to forge the holy embryo. Taiwei's "Metamorphosis of Destiny Holy Embryo Method" is more domineering than the original "Metamorphosis of Destiny Method".

In fact, the "Metamorphosis of the Holy Embryo" is even more domineering and terrifying than demonic arts. It is a mysterious method that can directly intercept all traces of the opponent's existence, and even the fate and fortune on the opponent's body that are beneficial to oneself.

At this moment, Taiwei essentially made Xuanxiang a part of himself, thereby gaining all of Longxiang's origins, memories, fortune, and destiny, which is something that ordinary demonic methods cannot achieve.

The pure white space began to gradually collapse as it burned continuously. The cultivation of the "Metamorphosis of the Holy Embryo" required an extremely large amount of the power of heaven and earth. It was a major book created specifically for high-level cultivators.

To cultivate this great manual, one must be at least at the Golden Immortal realm, but Taiwei's current cultivation level is only at the True Immortal realm. Therefore, he needs to rely on the power left behind by Taiwei's original body in this pure white space.

However, although the power of the Taiwei entity is formidable, the power stored in this space is limited, so every bit used is a bit less.

However, Taiwei didn't care about this. As long as he could turn Long Xiang into a part of himself, it wouldn't matter if this pure white space completely collapsed.

After all, once he successfully transforms into a True Immortal, the Golden Immortal realm will be no challenge for him, and he can reach it in an instant. At that time, even if he keeps this pure white space, it will not be of much use to him.

Time passed silently, and the once boundless pure white space began to collapse rapidly, accompanied by the decay of Long Xiang's own body.

Countless five-colored clouds expanded and grew in the pure white space, only to be pushed back down by the ever-shrinking pure white space. Within Long Xiang's body, Taiwei's will was constantly refining Xuan Xiang's origin and fortune, and his own essence was constantly sublimating at this moment.

However, just as Taiwei had refined one-third of Longxiang's origin, a powerful low roar caused a slight tremor in Taiwei's own will. Suddenly, a tall, middle-aged Taoist with black robes, black hair, and one black and one white eye appeared in Longxiang's deathly and gloomy Purple Mansion Ancestral Court.

Taiwei's will also descended into the dark Purple Mansion at this moment, revealing an incarnation, looking at the middle-aged Taoist opposite him who had an indifferent expression and lifeless eyes.
