Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

Qingyuan Zhenjun looked at him.

"But if you can truly create a Dharma Realm when you advance to the Nascent Soul stage, the Divine Transformation stage will be no challenge for you."

Lin Zhao did not speak; he still held the magic bead in his palm.

Qingyuan Zhenjun continued.

"You have the Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel, a supreme supernatural power with strong deductive abilities. With the knowledge I give you, you can deduce the structure of the Dharma Realm and it won't be difficult to fight against the Heavenly Tribulation."

"The second tribulation, the Tribulation of Returning to Nothingness, cannot be achieved through shortcuts; it requires genuine ability."

He paused, then said, "I saw the divine power you just used; it was quite impressive, controlling the power of the five elements and the ten directions."

It can be considered a top-grade supernatural power. If you can integrate the five elements and ten directions and sublimate them into an unparalleled supernatural power, you will pass this test.

The best way to comprehend supreme divine powers is to comprehend the power of rules. If you can comprehend the rules of the Five Elements, the Tribulation of Return to Nothingness will not be able to stop you.

Qingyuan Zhenjun leaned forward slightly.

"The third tribulation, which is also the most troublesome tribulation of transformation, basically involves going through the mortal world and experiencing trials in the outside world."

My suggestion is that you can start with sword intent, since intent is the manifestation of your mind.

"If you achieve mastery of sword intent, the Dao Transformation Tribulation will be nothing to you."

Lin Zhao listened silently without saying a word, but his thoughts were already very clear.

The three tribulations correspond to three paths: the Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel addresses the Heavenly Tribulation, the Five Elements Rules address the Return to Nothingness Tribulation, and the Great Perfection of Sword Intent addresses the Transformation Tribulation.

Each one has its own difficulties, and each one requires a lot of time and effort.

Lin Zhao has found her direction; she already knows where to go.

Seeing his expression, True Lord Qingyuan changed the subject.

"But now you have a very real problem."

The Luo Tian Palace in your possession is too valuable to deter even a Nascent Soul cultivator from taking risks. You are currently unable to leave the sect.

Leaving aside traveling through the mortal world—even comprehending the rules of the Five Elements is something you can't do in a sect, because the environment and various secret realms in a sect are all processed through special means.

If you want to comprehend the rules of the Five Elements, you can only go to the outside world. The vast world outside is your best teacher.

As for relying on me—I can't protect you forever; you'll have to figure it out yourself.

Lin Zhao nodded. He had been pondering this question for the past few years.

He raised his head and looked at True Lord Qingyuan.

"I wonder if the True Lord has the method for forging a Nascent Soul Dharma Body."

Qingyuan Zhenjun looked at him, a smile slowly appearing on his lips.

"You brat, so you were waiting for me here all along, Dharmakaya. This is what you really wanted to ask me today, isn't it?"

Lin Zhao also smiled.

"To be honest, True Lord, after much thought, I believe that the Dharma Body is the most suitable option for me given the current situation."

The Dharma Body is carefully cultivated using one's own essence and cultivation. In essence, it is a kind of clone, connected to the mind and spirit of the original body, and also serves as a backup physical body.

He possesses a supernatural ability called Five Elements Incarnation—which expends magical power to condense five five-elemental clones, comparable to an ordinary Core Formation cultivator.

This is the source of his ideas, but what he wants is not a temporary one, but a clone that can exist for a long time.

"I intend to forge two Dharma bodies."

Lin Zhao spoke slowly, but every word seemed to have been carefully planned.

"My physical body remains in the sect to comprehend the Dharma realm, while my Dharma body travels outside in my place."

Two Dharma bodies exist: one comprehends the Five Elements rules externally, while the other undergoes worldly trials to refine its heart. With both bodies operating simultaneously, safety is ensured.

He looked at True Monarch Qingyuan.

"Forging a Dharma Body requires the Nascent Soul realm, as well as powerful rare and precious materials and spiritual energy. I have comprehended the power of rules and already possess the conditions to create a Dharma Body."

Lin Zhao flipped his hand, and a round bead appeared in his palm.

Fourth-tier magic weapon, Gathering Yuan Pearl.

The spiritual energy emanating from the bead condensed into a substantial white mist, and the moment it was taken out, the concentration of spiritual energy around Tianxing Peak surged.

"The fourth-tier magic treasure I have, the Gathering Yuan Pearl, contains a mid-grade fourth-tier spiritual vein. It has enough spiritual power, and the Five Elements Spiritual Body technique can serve as the foundation for forging a Dharma Body."

He paused for a moment before speaking.

"My cultivation level is too low to forge a Nascent Soul level Dharma Body, but I can take a step back and forge a Core Formation level one."

True Monarch Qingyuan nodded. "That's one way, but—are you willing to give it up?"

"That mid-grade fourth-tier spiritual vein inside the Gathering Yuan Pearl, if integrated with the earth veins of Tianxing Peak, would be enough to ensure you wouldn't have to worry about reaching the Nascent Soul stage in the future. Are you really willing to use it to create a Dharma Body?"

He paused, then his lips twitched slightly. "And what are you planning to do with the other avatar? Use your fourth-tier magic weapon, the Starry Sky Rift Sword?"

The final Dharma body that is formed, is it called "Man-Sword" or "Sword-Man"?

Lin Zhao sensed the teasing in Qingyuan Zhenjun's tone, but he didn't respond.

"This kind of Dharma body, formed by condensing one's life essence and origin, can naturally merge with the original body and become one."

Moreover, the future opening of the Dharma realm will require a large amount of spiritual power, and this spiritual vein is just right to return to the original body along with the Dharma body.

Once the spiritual vein is released and merges with the earth's veins, I have no way to take it back. Even after achieving a Dharma body, the fourth-tier spiritual vein will still be there.

As the Five Sacred Mountains Dharma Body's cultivation level increases in the future, it will be able to control this fourth-tier spiritual vein more quickly, thereby accelerating the recovery speed of the Luo Tian Palace's spiritual pool.

"This Dharma body is called the Five Sacred Mountains Dharma Body, which is in harmony with the supernatural powers in my cultivation technique and the various forms I have comprehended."

His gaze fell on the direction of the treasure pavilion in the cave. "As for the Starry Sky Rift Sword, it is a sword-based magic weapon. Its offensive power is too strong, so it is not suitable for practicing magic body."

Qingyuan Zhenjun hummed in agreement, offering no further comment.

Lin Zhao turned his head and looked at the jade pool at the deepest part of the cave.

In the Jade Pool, a three-tiered blue lotus stands gracefully.

This was the most precious treasure he possessed from the entire True Lineage Spirit Peak, and also a benefit bestowed upon the peak master by the sect upon him upon achieving Core Formation.

This blue lotus can regenerate a person's life from a drop of blood. Even if one dies in the outside world, one can be reborn through the blue lotus seed.

This green lotus is only of the third rank, but its effects—Lin Zhao is almost certain—are essentially at least one of the products of a fifth-rank spiritual plant.

Such a foundation is perfect for practicing the Dharma body.

"I currently have just enough resources to forge two Dharma bodies."

Lin Zhao said, "One Five Sacred Mountains Dharma Body corresponds to the Five Elements rules, and one Azure Lotus Dharma Body is used for traveling in the mortal world."

Moreover, after he forged a high-grade golden core, the sect allocated another one of the 356 spiritual peaks for Core Formation cultivators to him.

One person temporarily occupies both peaks.

On that new spiritual peak, there is also a blue lotus. Even if this one is used up, there is another one as a backup.

Moreover—the biggest limitation of this green lotus is that it only works on Core Formation cultivators.

Even if a Nascent Soul True Monarch intervenes, the Azure Lotus might not be able to revive someone; it would be better to use it as the foundation for a Dharma Body.

After listening, True Lord Qingyuan nodded and chuckled.

"Therefore, you intend to leave your physical body in the sect to deduce the creation of the Dharma Realm, corresponding to the Heavenly Tribulation."

The Five Sacred Mountains Dharma Body is used to comprehend the rules of the Five Elements and resist the Tribulation of Returning to Nothingness; the Azure Lotus Dharma Body is used to travel through the mortal world and hone one's skills against the Tribulation of Transformation.

"The main body plus two Dharma bodies perfectly separate your three kalpas of the Dharma realm, allowing each to deal with them individually."
