Chapter 723 - 461: Five-Element Divine Lotus, Divine Fire of Karma
At the final stage of ascending to immortality, the spirit body transforms into the most pinnacle state, the Innate Five Elements Sacred Body.
Even the Five Elements Immortal Sect finds it rare to acquire disciples with this physique.
[Exchanging for this physique will automatically transform your Spirit Root into Five Spirit Roots. Do you accept?]
"Yes."
The aptitude of the Innate Five Elements Sacred Body is already equal to the Celestial Spirit Root, so the Five Spirit Roots don’t matter much.
In an instant, Jiang Ming’s exposed skin turns an extreme blood red.
The sound of bones growing continually cracks across Jiang Ming’s body.
Jiang Ming’s height is raised, and his skin becomes slightly fairer.
He opens his eyes, and within them there is a vibrant gleam.
"The Innate Five Elements Sacred Body may not aid the Immortal Zhong Heng much at that time, but for a Golden Core Cultivator like me, it is a divine assistance."
Jiang Ming rotates his neck.
Recalling Five Elements Magic in his mind becomes incredibly simple.
True Essence can effortlessly become Five Elements True Essence, flowing within Jiang Ming without discomfort.
"Nine Dragon Fire Technique."
A series of Fire Dragons burst from Jiang Ming’s body, totaling nine.
Then Jiang Ming, with a flicker of thought, initiates changes in the spell of the Nine Dragon Fire Technique.
The nearby Fire Dragons also begin to transform.
Some transform into Water Dragons, others into Wood Dragons, Earth Dragons, and Gold Attribute Dragons.
This is the remarkable capability of the top-tier Five Elements Spirit Body.
Jiang Ming retracts other Five Elements True Essence and transforms all True Essence in his body into Fire True Essence.
"With this, condensing the Original Fire Seed for the Evil-Extinguishing Divine Fire becomes much simpler."
"And for the final Simulation Points, let’s use them for cultivation first."
Cultivation requires resources.
In the past, Jiang Ming would have certainly exchanged for various cultivation pills.
Adding on the Cloud Splendor Body Purification Technique that Zhong Heng once cultivated, Pill Poison and Medicine Resistance can be greatly reduced.
However, Jiang Ming also has a coupon.
"I have acquired a significant amount of Qi of the Five Elements in my special achievements."
"Even for a Divinity Transformation Venerable, gathering Qi of the Five Elements is quite difficult."
"I have just exchanged for the Innate Five Elements Sacred Body; using Qi of the Five Elements for cultivation couldn’t be more suitable."
"I just need to save a bit for refining Xiang Wuji’s Five Elements Grand Encompassing Smoke."
The quantity of Qi of the Five Elements is considerable.
Yet Jiang Ming has not summoned it.
Because without a suitable container, the Five Elements would dissipate into the natural world.
The most suitable container is naturally the Five Elements Qiankun Gourd.
However, since the Five Elements Qiankun Gourd is an Immortal Artifact, Jiang Ming would need Source Points to exchange for it.
"Still short on Source Points..."
Feeling helpless, Jiang Ming can only settle for the next best thing.
"Exchange for the Five-Colored Glazed Lamp."
A Glazed Treasure Lamp appears in front of Jiang Ming.
This is a Divinity Transformation Treasure.
One of Zhong Heng’s spoils of war.
Considered a weakened and castrated version of the Five Elements Qiankun Gourd.
It can store Qi of the Five Elements and has defensive, attack enhancing, and many other capabilities related to Five Elements Magic.
It serves as defensive backup.
It can also consume Qi of the Five Elements to release Divine Power Skills beyond the current realm.
Additionally, it has auxiliary cultivation capabilities, especially for Five Elements type cultivation.
"Extract Qi of the Five Elements."
Rolling Qi of the Five Elements pours into the Five-Colored Glazed Lamp.
The five colored lights of the lamp shine brightly.
The amount of Qi of the Five Elements is substantial.
The Glazed Lamp fills quickly.
"Exchange for the Taihe Five Elements Profound Gang Secret Technique Golden Core Chapter."
Only a final bit remains which Jiang Ming directly swallows.
Then Jiang Ming begins cultivating.
Although the amount of Qi of the Five Elements is small, Jiang Ming expends much effort refining it.
The Five Elements Sacred Body begins to operate continuously.
Following the path of the Taihe Five Elements Profound Gang Secret Technique, it circulates through Jiang Ming’s meridians.
Gradually it fuses with Jiang Ming’s Five Elements True Essence and transforms into his cultivation.
The resource points in the Cultivation Space refresh over and over.
Yet Jiang Ming keeps his eyes closed, as a faint five-colored stream of light flickers constantly across his face.
And his cultivation begins to soar.
Quickly advancing from Mid-Stage Golden Core to Late-Stage Golden Core.
And continues advancing toward Golden Core Perfection.
Jiang Ming opens his eyes.
Exhales a breath of turbid Qi.
His cultivation at this point has reached Golden Core Perfection.
With numerous experiences from simulations, Jiang Ming does not fear that rapid improvement in cultivation would provoke a Heart Demon.
"However, my previous cultivation."
Jiang Ming had previously been cultivating the Nine Lotus Longevity Technique.
Now it seems that the Nine Lotuses vaguely correspond to the nine laws of the Immortal Realm, quite mystical.
Jiang Ming thought for a moment and decided to abolish the Nine Lotus Longevity Technique.
Instead, he dispersed the Fire Lotus within and integrated it into the Five Elements.
The light in Jiang Ming’s eyes flickered as he began to analyze his body and deduce the most suitable cultivation technique for himself.
Soon, while Jiang Ming was inwardly observing his Inner World,
his body underwent a transformation.
Before cultivation, Jiang Ming’s Inner World contained three lotus flowers.
The Red Lotus represented the Fire Dao.
The Cyan Lotus represented the Sword Dao.
The Black Lotus represented the Demon Dao.
And now, there was only one Five-Colored Lotus in bud, with its nine leaves.
Seven of these leaves seemed somewhat ethereal.
Two were solid, one cyan, and one black.
"The Sword Dao is cultivated from the various Sword Scriptures of Pei Min, and I also possess Pei Min’s Unity Sword Body."
"At this stage, it’s still sufficient."
"The Demon Dao comes from Xiang Wuji’s Undefeated Demon Blood, along with numerous demonic cultivation techniques that can strengthen physical cultivation."
"As for the Divine Soul path, it is cultivated from Xiang Wuji’s Qi Devouring and God Swallowing Technique, and it is fairly adequate."
Having organized his cultivation.
The simulation time ended, and the Simulation Points were exhausted.
Jiang Ming opened his eyes, finding himself on the outskirts of the Leopard Room.
"There’s no rush for the next simulation."
"I need to acquire a large number of Source Points."
"And this simulation of Zhong Heng is enough for me to digest for a long time."
"However, the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm seems to be even more ancient than I imagined."
Jiang Ming looked towards the sky.
He pondered slightly, forming a spell with his hands.
The Celestial Derivation Array Disc began to fluctuate.
The Leopard Room was divided into several parts.
Half were without time acceleration, four-fifths were occupied by unenlightened beasts and Early-Stage Demon Pill beasts, and one-fifth by Late-Stage Demon Pill cultivators.
This way, different strength individuals were accelerated respectively, allowing for less consumption of the array.
As for future Golden Core cultivators and Demon Body Demon Cultivators, they would need to expend merits to exchange for accelerated cultivation time and cultivation resources.
Jiang Ming soon came under a giant tree.
The giant tree transformed by the array disc was referred to as the Divine Tree by the Demon Pavilion cultivators.
"Greetings, Master."
Sun Yuan stepped forward to salute.
With a wave of his hand, Jiang Ming sent forth a cultivation technique through his Divine Sense to Sun Yuan.
He also tossed out a token.
"You will reach entry level in this technique within a day."
"The token is the Demon Pavilion’s Identity Token."
Jiang Ming then touched the ancient tree.
With his other hand, he formed a spell, merging the Fire of Origin of the Evil-Extinguishing Divine Fire into the Immortal Crystal.
With the Immortal Crystal as an energy source, the Evil-Extinguishing Divine Fire burned more fiercely.
Jiang Ming glanced at the Immortal Crystal’s Heaven-Mending Stone.
The Heaven-Mending Stone already took on a vague outline.
He had been cultivating in the Cultivation Space for a year, and over a month had passed outside with time acceleration.
The Heaven-Mending Stone was growing quickly.
According to Jiang Ming’s estimation, using the time of the Great Lii Divine Capital, a month later, new life can be born within the Heaven-Mending Stone.
The Great Sun was setting in the west.
The sky grew dark.
Sun Yuan reported back, having completed cultivation of the Evil-Extinguishing Divine Fire.
Sun Yuan was quite excited.
After absorbing the Fire of Origin, Sun Yuan’s recently minor-success Evil-Extinguishing Divine Fire surged to great success.
"Since the sky is dark, go to the Divine Capital and casually kill an evil entity, and bring back its Spirit Bone."
"Yes."
Sun Yuan was somewhat puzzled but complied.
Officially, it was said that the Great Lii Divine Capital and the Capital Region had hardly any evil entities.
Yet, within the city walls, there were quite a few.
The twisted nature of humanity sometimes rivals those of some evil entities.
The nobility and high officials loved thrills, and some entities could provide them with stimulation in various ways.
The Zhaoo Family’s influence was trapped within the Imperial Palace, the Divine Capital’s forces were chaotic and entangled, and the Imperial Court had no power to intervene.
In just a quarter of an hour,
Jiang Ming’s ears were greeted with a notification.
[Congratulations, you have earned Simulation Points *17322]
Sun Yuan quickly returned, respectfully presenting a Spirit Bone.
Jiang Ming extracted the Spirit Points from the Spirit Bone.
"Hmm? Generally, Spirit Points and Simulation Points are proportional, these Simulation Points are sixty percent of a personal kill’s yield..."
