Humans are in the wilderness, God is in perfection!

The heavens and earth roared, and the pure yang golden light thunder and the blade light shattered in response, turning into streaks of golden lightning that struck Xia Mangqing's body. However, this level of power was insufficient to harm him.

At the very moment the Pure Yang Golden Light Thunder shattered, the lightning tribulation vortex in the void suddenly contracted, transforming into a bolt of lightning at extreme speed, instantly striking Xia Mangqing.

Rumble~

As the lightning entered his body, his body began to transform into the form of a god.

"good!"

The Poor Cicada Dao Ancestor laughed loudly: "Having passed through the Pure Yang Golden Light Thunder and cultivated a perfect divine body, he instantly reached the pinnacle of Heavenly Godhood. He has a very good chance of advancing further in the future and becoming a True God Dao Ancestor!"

If before he passed through the Pure Yang Golden Light Thunder, they were nurturing Xia Mangqing as a potential genius like Lü Dongbin, then after he passed through the Pure Yang Golden Light Thunder, Xia Mangqing could undoubtedly be considered the "Lü Dongbin" of the human race.

"I will inform my elder brother Suiren of this matter. It is not easy for the human race to produce such a talent, and we should value him even more!"

Dao Ancestor Youxiong also smiled and said that he was of a very high seniority among the human race. Like Suiren, he was one of the earliest members of the human race and had experienced the rise and fall of the human race over hundreds of millions of years.

As for Xuelong Daozu and Chiming Daozu, they also had smiles on their faces. Xia Mangqing was their disciple and grand-disciple. If he were to become a true god Daozu in the future, it would be a wonderful story.

On the other side, after Xia Mangqing survived the Pure Yang Golden Light Thunder, he sat cross-legged on the ground again. The inner demon tribulation descended, which was much stronger than when he was undergoing the tribulation of his second primordial spirit. If he were still at the third level of mental strength, he would not have been able to pass it at all. But now he has reached the fourth level. Even though the inner demon tribulation was very strong, it was still full of flaws in his eyes.

Ten days later, Xia Mangqing awoke from the tribulation of her inner demons.

"I have no more insights to offer, so it's of no use to me."

Xia Mangqing sighed inwardly. The inner demon tribulation would last at least seven days. He could actually break free on the seventh day, but he wanted to use the inner demon world to temper his mind.

However, upon reaching the fourth level of mental strength, the inner demon tribulation ultimately had too many flaws in his eyes. Although he had more time compared to reality, he still awoke after failing to gain any insight.

boom--

The instant Xia Mangqing awoke, auspicious clouds descended from the sky, golden lotuses sprang from the earth, and the two supreme stars, the Sun and the Moon, traversed the endless void, pouring their power into Xia Mangqing's body. The Golden Crow Golden Core within his body also began to condense.

The body is being refined by gods and demons, and the energy is being tempered, all simultaneously undergoing a transformation.

When the world was restored to clarity, his magical power had transformed into that of a second-class celestial immortal, his divine power had also transformed into that of a celestial god, and his physical body had been transformed into the body of a perfect celestial god.

Everything returned to calm. The pressure that Xia Mangqing exuded was already among the highest of the gods.

Moreover, he had already comprehended the Great Dao, and his true form's Qi Refining Stream could become a Pure Yang True Immortal at any time, at which point his strength would increase even further.

"My disciple."

The Snow Dragon Dao Ancestor and the other three Dao Ancestors teleported over, all with smiles on their faces.

Xia Mangqing respectfully inquired about the etiquette, and then heard Dao Ancestor Youxiong ask:

"Qingxuan, you have now become a celestial god. What are your plans for the future? Would you be willing to rule over a great world?"

Xia Mangqing shook his head: "Senior, I am not good at this. After that, I plan to first cultivate the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons, and then go to Moonlit Pool to explore."

"Moonlit Pool?!" Dao Ancestor Qiongchan was taken aback: "Why go there? You should know that from ancient times to the present, many gods have gone to Moonlit Pool, but so far, only Buddha Jueming of Buddhism has returned, and he never mentions anything about it. It's very strange."

The true gods and patriarchs of the Three Realms all knew that Moonlit Pool was opened by an unknown great being, and they also knew that there must be opportunities and good fortune within it. After all, not long after the former Jue Tian God came out of Moonlit Pool, he entered the realm of true gods and became one of the Buddhas of Buddhism.

But that place is too eerie. From ancient times to the present, only the Buddha Jueming has come out alive. So, apart from those gods who have lived for a long time and have no hope of breaking through, who would try their luck at Moonlit Pool, the truly top gods of the Three Realms would not go there.

"Don't worry, senior." Xia Mangqing smiled faintly, "I plan to first cultivate the clone technique, and then send one or two clones there. Even if they perish there, I can bear it."

Even if he is not a sword cultivator, as long as he passes through Moonlit Pool, he is guaranteed to obtain "Desolate World God" and "Nine Elements Annihilation".

The former is a great law that directly points to the world realm, and with the same aptitude, the possibility of becoming a true god or ancestral god by cultivating this law is ten times or a hundred times greater than that of the laws of the Three Realms!

The latter, however, has virtually limitless potential. Although it consists of only nine Yuanfu, it can use them as a foundation to continuously transform and form even more powerful divine runes, with almost no end in sight.

This divine power is similar to the rune system of the Perfect World. If it remains a cornerstone of the Great Dao after transformation, it will be extremely powerful and can generate countless magical techniques!

Furthermore, one can use this to break through and transform time and time again, creating the Ten Fiends level, or even higher levels of Dharma.

Therefore, Xia Mangqing was determined to learn this technique and this supernatural power.

As for making a life oath, that won't have much of an impact. He'll have to venture into the Endless Territory sooner or later anyway, and he knows the location of the Heavenly Palace. He also has a Chaos Era to spare, so it's perfectly acceptable for him to just deliver a message.

"Going there in a clone is feasible."

Daoist Youxiong nodded. There must be benefits to Moonlit Pool, but it's too difficult to get out of it.

"However, do you have enough cultivation resources? You must not enter the inner realm after only cultivating the first level of the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons."

"That's enough. Everything was prepared before the tribulation."

Xia Mangqing said that there were plenty of resources and rare items, more than enough for his main body to cultivate the clone technique.

"Why not learn the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts first?"

The Dao Ancestor Qiongchan smiled and said, "The Profound Technique can be called the number one divine power in the Three Realms below the True God level. Once all nine cycles are completed, the divine body will be comparable to a pure Yang grade magic treasure, like the body of an innate spiritual treasure. If this divine power is completed, your chances of success when you go to Moonlit Pool should be even greater."

"At least, my life is safe."

"Indeed, and our human race also has a lineage of profound arts."

Dao Ancestor Xiong nodded. This "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts" was jointly created by the leaders of Buddhism and Taoism, but it is not only Buddhism and Taoism that have inherited it. For example, the human race has already acquired it.

Of course, cultivating this skill is no easy feat.

Leaving aside comprehension and other factors, the astonishing resources alone meant that most cultivators of profound arts only reached the sixth stage. The most famous of those who had completed all nine stages were Yang Jian and Sun Wukong.

Both of them are now true gods and Dao ancestors.

"If that's the case, Fellow Daoist Xuelong and I will provide all the elixirs and spiritual medicines needed for Qingxuan to reach the ninth stage of cultivation."

The Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor smiled and said that he had already discussed it with the Snow Dragon Dao Ancestor. The Heavenly God wanted to cultivate the ninth level of the Profound Technique, and he would need the help of the True God Dao Ancestor behind him. With the two Dao Ancestors working together, it would be much easier for them.

Xia Mangqing was taken aback, and after a moment's thought, he said:

"Master, Grandmaster, as the saying goes, one should not accept rewards without merit. I cannot accept the resources needed for cultivating profound arts. However... I have a method that can exchange for sufficient cultivation resources."

"Oh? What method is it?"

The Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor asked, "What kind of method can be used to obtain the elixirs and spiritual medicines needed for cultivating profound arts?" Several Dao Ancestors present were quite curious.
