Chapter 161 - 158: Cunningly Dodging the Thunderstorm
It was said that various great saints expressed their intentions to help the Jade-faced Fox seek revenge by slaying the Yamata no Orochi in Yingzhou. The brothers could discern Old Bull’s thoughts, knowing it was a lifelong matter for the Ox Demon King, they ought to help.
The Macaques King knew that those with nine heads were no trivial beings, so this journey must be treated with utmost care, and it was best if all the brothers went together.
After a feast, the Ox Demon King said, "Brothers, shouldn’t we set off now?"
Enlightenment Dao teased, "Bull can’t wait any longer; he’s eager to have Hu Li make him into a bull!"
Hu Li couldn’t help but spit, "Daoist, don’t talk nonsense, or I’ll get angry."
The brothers burst into laughter, and the Ox Demon King, furious, was about to settle the score with Enlightenment Dao.
"Brothers, don’t rush; let me eat a few Peaches of Immortality, seclude myself for two days. I see that sister Hu Li also has injuries, let’s give her two peaches to eat as well. Once we have recovered, we can head to Yingzhou and slay the Yamata no Orochi," said Enlightenment Dao seriously.
Since his departure from Shushan, Enlightenment Dao felt ready to send his Primordial Spirit into the Heavenly Thunder for refinement. Purifying the Primordial Spirit into Pure Yang would allow stepping into the Immortal Realm. As long as a trace of the Primordial Spirit wasn’t destroyed, he could be revived, a truly terrifying divine skill.
Lion Camel King said, "Could it be you are about to make another breakthrough?"
Enlightenment Dao nodded, "Hmm... My Primordial Spirit can now undergo refinement in the Heavenly Thunder, but now is not yet the time. Once the refinement is complete, I can step into the Immortal Realm. However, the other two must also undergo a Heavenly Thunder refinement, which is a downside of splitting into three."
Having three Primordial Spirits naturally meant each had to take their turn for refinement, otherwise the other two would only possess the power of the Immortal Realm without the divine skills of that realm. Purifying the Primordial Spirit is beneficial, as a pure and flawless Primordial Spirit comprehends principles and absorbs True Qi much faster than ordinary people. The next step would be to merge the understood principles with True Qi to forge a Primordial Dao Fruit. Once the Primordial Dao Fruit is formed, one achieves the rank of Mixed Yuan Golden Immortal, only second to Saints in the Dao of Immortals.
