Chapter 156: Ten Lifetimes Mortal Transformation, the Old Man by Her Side (4k)

At the peak of Mount Tai, a solitary figure stood, ethereal and otherworldly.

Shao Hua tilted her head slightly, her long black hair cascading naturally down to her hips. Her eyes, deep and clear like autumn waters, gazed into the starry sky, seeing a group of people encountering demons for the first time, being chased by a pack of small divine crocodiles.

“Enough, it would be a waste for them to die here. At the very least, they should witness the wonders of the Big Dipper Region,” she said softly, her words carrying the weight of divine law.

Despite the peril, none of the people on Mars died. The broken Buddhist artifacts in their hands suddenly emitted a brilliant light, regaining their divine power and protecting everyone.

Then, the group used the Buddhist artifacts to slay the divine crocodiles, performing a blood sacrifice on the five-colored stone altar. This successfully reactivated the Nine Dragon Coffin, setting it on a course toward the Big Dipper Region.

Even before they began their cultivation, they had already experienced a battle, a taste of the harshness of the cultivation world.

“A mere insect dares to be so aggressive. If it were not for me, if Little Nuan were here, you would have died eighteen times already,” Shao Hua said with a light laugh.

She could have killed the small crocodile several times with a single glance, but the disparity was too great, like looking at a mere insect, and she lost the desire to act.

However, this did not mean that the Crocodile Ancestor would escape unscathed.

A loud, majestic cry echoed across the entire star domain, as if a supreme ruler had descended upon the world, causing the Crocodile Ancestor on Mars to tremble in fear.

The Vermilion Bird let out a long cry, slicing through the universe.

Then, it opened its mouth and snatched away the still-shocked Crocodile Ancestor.

Indeed, to deal with insects, one must use insect methods.

It was only fitting for a rooster to eat insects!

Shao Hua did not pay much attention to what happened next. She had more important matters to attend to, such as perfecting the Spirit Realm.

She casually tossed the adorable little white tiger to the Big Dipper, to join the dog of the Primordial Beginning.

She also gave Little Ye some guidance, hoping he would not be too shocked when he learned his true identity.

Just as she was about to leave, she noticed a group of cultivators coming from the west, intent on seizing the treasures of the Central Earth.

“Hmph, though this Earth is not the same as the other, the Central Earth is not a place for you foreign races to run wild,” Shao Hua frowned, waving her sleeve and erasing the numerous western sects.

How terrifying could a transcendent being's anger be?

All but the truly benevolent were obliterated into nothingness.

Of course, she was not the type to destroy lives in a fit of rage. She merely destroyed their physical forms and sent their spirits into the Spirit Realm, where they would be transformed into minor characters.

“Farewell, Earth, may we never meet again.” Shao Hua took one last look at this Earth that was both familiar and strange, her graceful figure slowly fading away, as if she had never been there.

The essence of the Kunlun Immortal Mountains flowed back, rejuvenating the Earth, which quickly recovered its vibrant vitality.

As for Ye Fan's family and others, they received some blessings, ensuring they would live long lives, if not embarking on the path of cultivation.

Some regrets could be avoided, and there was no need to suffer unnecessarily.

They would have a chance to return early, but it was up to them to seize it.

Afterward, vast curtains of mystic energy spread across the universe, allowing those with the proper tokens to enter the Spirit Realm with their mental and spiritual essence, opening a new world.

Although the Spirit Realm was still in its early stages and relatively simple, the fact that one could engage in battles without the risk of true death, only suffering mental injuries that could be healed, was enough to drive people mad with excitement.

Battles and conflicts were the mainstays of the cultivation world. Which great hero did not rise through a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood?

Fighting to unleash one's potential, growing stronger with each battle, was an unshakable truth.

With the addition of the Spirit Realm, especially within the Tong Tian Tower, countless cultivators flocked to it. The older generation sought revenge for old grudges, while the young geniuses engaged in thrilling battles.

Shao Hua created a new myth, infusing this world with new vitality, heralding the dawn of a great era.

To manage the Spirit Realm, she created the Golden Book Jade Records.

Each star domain's Spirit Realm corresponded to a page in the Golden Book, while ancient and powerful life source stars like the Big Dipper and Purple Microcosm corresponded to pages in the Jade Book.

The Golden Book Jade Records regulated the entry of cultivators, establishing order in the Spirit Realm, with significant deterrent power.

After all, she had no time to manage it herself.

Each curtain also nourished the Golden Book Jade Records. In time, if all the books were gathered, they would form a formidable artifact.

Unlike the otherworldly realm, which maintained its function through the faith of the Heavenly Court, the local universe relied on the mental energy of cultivators to sustain the Spirit Realm, a case of the wool being pulled from the sheep.

Cultivators of lower realms would likely be expelled from the Spirit Realm after a short while, their mental energy exhausted, a form of anti-addiction.

“Hmm? The Health-Preserving Furnace is showing signs of movement. What's happening over there?” Shao Hua's expression changed, and she instantly appeared in the Divine Soldier Ancient Star.

She saw the temple collapse, and everything related to the Lingbao Celestial Venerable was burning in the flames. The ancient path of the Celestial Venerable reappeared in the world, and all the holy spirits on the ancient star bowed in reverence.

“What is lost can never return. There is no need to force it. A complete end is the best conclusion,” a hazy figure shimmered in the fire.

“Farewell, Daoist friend!” Shao Hua sighed softly, instantly understanding the situation.

The Lingbao Celestial Venerable had fought against the calamity of corpses during his lifetime and did not wish to burden future generations. He had left behind precautions to ensure he would not cause trouble after death.

Shao Hua understood that the remaining essence of his spirit was insufficient to turn the tide, but it was a matter of doing one's best, and she had to try.

The flames soared, accompanied by the flow of the Dao, and the ancient star was showered with countless light rains, the final gift of the Lingbao Celestial Venerable.

His Dao and his methods were reenacted, all his legacies revealed without reservation, for the world to know and understand.

Shao Hua collected the fallen array diagrams and picked up the Health-Preserving Furnace, which had transformed into a half-immortal artifact. Limited by its material, it needed further refinement to become a true immortal artifact, capable of containing boundless creation.

Among her artifacts, the Human World Sword, the Feather Ascension Banner, and the Flame Dao Lamp were already true immortal artifacts, while the Carefree Boat, the Health-Preserving Furnace, and the Veil-Heaven Bracelet were still half-immortal artifacts, slightly inferior.

For some reason, Shao Hua felt a growing sense of unease, sensing that something significant was about to happen.

Therefore, she did not focus too much on opening the curtains and setting up the Spirit Realm. After traveling through various life-bearing planets in the universe, she sought to further her own transformation, aiming to reach the pinnacle of immortality.

She went to the otherworldly realm, taking the treasures collected by the Heavenly Court over the past ten thousand years, selecting useful items, and refining them into her artifacts. With her supreme powers, she transformed the Carefree Boat, the Health-Preserving Furnace, and the Veil-Heaven Bracelet into true immortal artifacts.

“It's not time to merge yet,” Shao Hua muttered to herself. She kept five of the six immortal artifacts within her, leaving the Flame Dao Lamp in the Big Dipper.

“I will continue to transform, wash away all impurities, and take another step forward!” Her eyes gleamed, standing in the chaos, she transformed into an Immortal Cocoon.

Originally, she had planned to use the rebirth method derived from the analysis of the immortal phoenix's essence to transform and be reborn, but after careful consideration, she felt it was insufficient to advance her Dao.

It might have worked in previous lifetimes, but it was no longer appropriate now.

In her first life, she was reborn and lived again.

In her second life, she understood the mysteries of life and death and reversed her existence.

In her third life, she took the elixir of immortality to prolong her life.

In her fourth life, she accumulated the essence of immortality to live on.

In her fifth life, she sought the innate holy body.

In her sixth life, she severed the holy body to temper herself.

In her seventh life, she observed the elixir of immortality and transformed.

In her eighth life, she fused all the Dao into a Chaos Body.

In her ninth life, she relived her past memories and experienced a great dream.

If the earlier lives were struggles in the mortal world, each life a step forward, the later ones transcended the concept of a single life and transformation.

Between her eighth and ninth lives, she had undergone continuous transformations, viewing each as a new beginning.

Even though Shao Hua had become a Red Dust Immortal, no thunder or heavenly tribulation appeared.

Neither the local universe nor the otherworldly realm was on the same level as the past. The highest they could descend was an Emperor Dao Domain tribulation, far from a Red Dust Immortal tribulation.

Shao Hua's current combat strength could single-handedly suppress so-called true immortals, sweeping through the worlds of immortals, rivaling a quasi-immortal emperor.

In fact, she might even bring tribulations to these two worlds.

“I don't need a heavenly tribulation to test me. My own path is the greatest tribulation!” Shao Hua whispered, setting out again.

As long as she became the strongest, any tribulation that might appear would be powerless against her. She did not need to rely on heavenly tribulations to temper her body and soul.

She began to bind herself, severing the chaotic blood, cutting off various origins, transforming into a mortal body, seeking true simplicity.

Ten Lifetimes Mortal Transformation!

She had already comprehended all the secrets of body types. Special body types no longer held any significance, offering no additional advantages.

Rather than severing her body type to become a mortal, it was more like merging everything into one. The various unique powers did not disappear but were thoroughly integrated into her.

I can master everything myself, why rely on body types to evolve?

One is all, and all is one, unified in one body, without any strengths or weaknesses. This is what it means to become mortal!

At this level, she was almost a step beyond the realm of Red Dust Immortal. If she said this was a mortal body, who could argue?

Even the pretentious "mortal" is still mortal!

Meanwhile, the Nine Dragon Coffin had brought Ye Fan and the others to the Ancient Prohibited Lands, and the group of Earthlings had thus entered the cultivation world of the Big Dipper Region.

As expected, they were divided among several cave heavens and blessed lands of the Yan Kingdom, and Ye Fan was identified as a waste body.

The world after the ancient times was indeed no longer suitable for the Holy Body to cultivate. This was not a curse, though it could be seen as a curse from the heavens.

After the great change in the world, certain Dao principles had shifted, and the Holy Body had unfortunately suffered.

Ye Fan opened the Bitter Sea in the Spirit Ruins Grotto Heaven and learned that the only Holy Body to achieve great completion after the ancient times had fallen there. He was moved and decided to leave to seek opportunities.

As a first-generation Holy Body, there seemed to be a special connection, and he indeed found the traces.

It was the grave of the Holy Body Mu Chen.

He had almost transcended the Dao tribulation but ultimately failed at the last moment.

Ye Fan brought the grave of the predecessor back into the world, but the commotion was too great, and many forces, like cats drawn by the scent of blood, rushed over.

“Such a powerful aura, could that Holy Body have truly transcended to become an emperor?”

“Some say he died, defying the heavens and falling to the tribulation; others say he became an emperor at the last moment but was too exhausted to continue.”

“To break the ancient taboo that a Holy Body cannot transcend, he burned all his energy. I think he must have become an emperor, even if only for a moment, perhaps the shortest-lived emperor in history.”

The last words were spoken by a female cultivator from the Jade Pool Sacred Land, with a hint of hope. Regardless, they were willing to view the martyr as an emperor.

Ye Fan, hiding nearby, sighed inwardly.

This predecessor seemed to have had a tragic fate, but his own was even worse, feeling like there was no path ahead.

He hoped the predecessor had left something behind for him.

But even if the Holy Body predecessor had left a gift, he had just opened the Bitter Sea and had no way to compete with those who could fly.

“Hehe, little guy, it seems you need some help?”

Just as Ye Fan was feeling down, a mysterious voice suddenly entered his ears.

His face changed, and he turned sharply, his eyes scanning the area behind him, but he saw no one.

“Don’t look for me, kid. I’m hanging around your neck.” The voice continued.

“You!” Ye Fan's pupils constricted, and he tightly gripped the Peace Talisman. He had long suspected that this object was problematic.

The talisman had shown its power on Mars, saving him, and it was thanks to this copper talisman that he had been able to conceal his aura and avoid detection.

“Not bad, kid. You have some composure, a bit like me when I(End of Chapter)
