Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

Qingyuan Zhenjun paused for a moment.

"It's just that the name is too formal. You really don't want to consider incorporating that fourth-tier magic weapon, the Starry Sky Rift Sword? Call it Sword Man or Man Sword, so that people can understand the meaning immediately."

Lin Zhao could only look at him expressionlessly.

Seeing that he didn't react, Qingyuan Zhenjun shook his head, took out a jade slip from his sleeve with some regret, and tossed it over.

"This contains the methods for forging thirteen different Dharma bodies. That should be enough for you."

Lin Zhao caught the jade slip and scanned it with his divine sense. The introductions of the thirteen types of Dharma bodies floated through his mind one by one—the five elements type, the spiritual plant type, the magic weapon type, the spiritual vein type... Each type had a detailed forging method.

With these, he no longer needs to start from scratch to figure out how to forge the Dharma Body, saving at least ten years of time.

He carefully put away the jade slip, stood up, and bowed.

Qingyuan Zhenjun stood up, patted off non-existent dust from his robes, and turned to leave.

He took two steps and then stopped.

With his back to Lin Zhao, his voice suddenly became very soft.

"Little one, hurry up and form your nascent soul, or you'll miss out on a good show."

As soon as he finished speaking, a flash of blue light appeared, and he disappeared.

Lin Zhao stood at the entrance of the cave, holding a magic bead and a jade slip in his hand.

Good show.

The "good show" that True Lord Qingyuan spoke of is probably not as simple as the previous competition.

He didn't think any further.

These things don't concern him much for the time being.

If one can attain two Dharma bodies, one can roam freely throughout the world.

As for whether his Dharma Body would be targeted by the sect's Nascent Soul cultivators if he went out, he had considered that possibility.

However, the sect's foundation was stronger than Lin Zhao had imagined. The mere fourth-tier magic treasures, the Starry Sky Rift Sword and the Gathering Yuan Pearl, were not taken seriously by the sect.

Although Lin Zhao's avatar is not as powerful as his physical body, it is still not easy for an ordinary Core Formation cultivator to defeat him.

Unless the Nascent Soul takes action personally, and since the Dharma Body is connected to the physical body, he will know immediately if the Nascent Soul makes a move.

He wasn't without connections either.

To put it bluntly, what Lin Zhao was really worried about was never those two ordinary fourth-tier magic treasures—he had the backing of the Boundless lineage and True Monarch Qingyuan, so he could protect them.

As long as the fourth-tier superior-grade palace magic treasure, Luo Tian Palace, remains hidden, it won't matter if others find out about the Starry Sky Rift Sword and the Gathering Yuan Pearl.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators from sects would have to think twice about the consequences if he were to seize on something and report it to the Cangming Palace.

A Nascent Soul cultivator from a sect must be very wealthy, right?

Compensating with two or three fourth-tier magic treasures isn't too much to ask, is it?

Lin Zhao returned to his cultivation cave, where two jade slips were placed in front of him—a white magic bead containing the method for forging a Dharma body. The materials for the two Dharma bodies had already been secured: a Gathering Yuan Bead and a Green Lotus.

He went into seclusion to begin forging his Dharma body.

He closed his eyes, and the Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel slowly rotated in his spiritual platform, disassembling, comparing, and recombining the information from countless Dharma bodies forged.

A month later, he opened his eyes.

Lin Zhao officially began forging his Dharma body.

Using spiritual objects as a medium, and then using one's own cultivation, essence, blood, or even a part of one's life essence.

The Dharmakaya is the transformation of the energy body into a physical body. This process requires the conversion of matter and spiritual energy.

Lin Zhao has already reached the Nascent Soul stage and is fully capable of reviving the dead and healing the wounded.

Of course, his cultivation level was still insufficient at this moment—he had not reached the stage of transforming his nascent soul consciousness into a physical form.

Only at that level can he truly achieve the conversion of matter and spiritual power in an instant; now he has to take it one step at a time.

Then there's the issue of spiritual energy. The Gathering Yuan Pearl contains a complete mid-grade fourth-order spiritual vein, so the spiritual energy is sufficient.

The third-tier Azure Lotus was slightly inferior in quality, but fortunately, I obtained a fourth-tier Azure Essence Fruit from True Monarch Tianfeng, which made up for this shortcoming.

He still had more than ten third-tier spiritual fruits and items in his hands—some were gifts from the Luo family, and some were given to him by True Monarch Tianfeng.

It is just right to be used to replenish the vital energy consumed when the main body splits into clones.

Without that Azure Essence Spirit Fruit, he could only use these third-tier spirit fruits to replenish his Dharma Body.

Without these third-tier spiritual fruits, it would take at least a dozen years for the main body to recover its vitality.

It was only because his foundation of magical power was ten times greater than that of other Core Formation cultivators of the same level that he was able to barely hold on.

Even if you were to use a regular Core Formation cultivator and fill in all your cultivation points, you still wouldn't be able to forge a Dharma Body.

Three months later.

Inside the cultivation room, two cocoons of light hung quietly on either side of the jade platform.

The cocoon was formed from purified spiritual energy, with five-colored light slowly flowing on its surface. Inside, one could vaguely see the outline of a human figure rising and falling slightly, like a fetus breathing in the womb.

Lin Zhao sat cross-legged in the center of the jade platform, his consciousness immersed in the Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel, meticulously controlling every detail of the Dharma Body forging.

Forging a Dharma body is more difficult than imagined.

Life is the most complex thing in the world.

He thought he knew his body inside and out—his meridians, dantian, and sea of ​​consciousness were all clearly understood.

But when he actually started to create a life from scratch, he realized that what he knew was only the tip of the iceberg.

Our understanding of life is only superficial.

The density of bones varies subtly at each joint; the resilience of the meridians must be just right to withstand the flow of magical energy; and the proportions of flesh, blood, internal organs, and cells...

How spiritual energy flows through the meridians, and how the fusion of the body and spiritual energy does not produce repulsion—these things are a hundred times more complex than any spell he has ever deduced before.

If there is even the slightest deviation, what is produced will not be a Dharma body, but a pile of waste.

Lin Zhao's true form was nurtured by heaven and earth, and every detail is the result of countless years of evolution.

Now he wants to replicate this process using his own knowledge and understanding.

Even with his original form as a template, it would still be incredibly difficult.

No wonder only Nascent Soul True Monarchs can forge a Dharma Body.

Even if Lin Zhao comprehends the Nascent Soul realm, he cannot complete it without the assistance of the Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel.

He withdrew his gaze and began to replenish his depleted energy.

The recovery process is very slow.

As he recovered, he continued to control the cocoon of light using the Heavenly Heart Dharma Wheel.

The forging of the Dharma body is not yet complete; this is only the foundation. The real cultivation is yet to come.

The two cocoons of light need to be continuously nurtured with spiritual power, Lin Zhao's Five Sacred Mountains Spiritual Body needs to be completely integrated with the Dharma Body, and the regenerative power of the Azure Lotus needs to be completely transformed into the flesh and blood instincts of the Dharma Body.

Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Zhao let out a long breath.

His cultivation had almost fully recovered, and he opened his eyes to look at his side.

The five-colored spiritual light on the surface of the two cocoons was gradually dissipating. The cocoon shells emitted a soft fluorescent light from the inside, and then peeled off piece by piece, like petals falling and turning into tiny specks of light on the ground.

Two figures were revealed.

The one on the left, appearing to be in his twenties, had a resolute face. When he opened his eyes, a five-colored halo flashed briefly deep within them. His demeanor was more composed, and he stood there like a mountain. The Five Sacred Mountains Dharma Body.

The one on the right has delicate features and appears to be under twenty years old. His skin is fair, and his features are soft, making him even more refined than Lin Zhao was in her youth. He is the Azure Lotus Dharma Body.

Lin Zhao looked at this one, then at that one, and both of his Dharma bodies looked at him at the same time.

The three looked at each other and then simultaneously showed the same expression. It was a strange feeling, like looking at two mirrors, but the reflections in the mirrors were not quite the same.
