Chapter 246: Divine Embryo Four Transformations, Martial Saint Four Openings, Refining the Corpse Go
Chapter 246: Divine Embryo Four Transformations, Martial Saint Four Openings, Refining the Corpse God Seal with the Power of Man and Dog (Part 2)
Moreover...
Li Cheng lifted his hand, and amidst the crackling of countless lightning arcs, a substantial thunderball formed in his palm.
The raging electric current was filled with turbulent vital energy, violently lashing at the air.
"Thunder Magnetic Ball, condensed from the power of heavenly thunder, gathers my vital energy and divine crystal power, and its might is not to be underestimated... It has an absolute suppressing effect on demons and evil spirits."
"The resplendent heavenly thunder, specialized in exterminating evil!"
"Comparable to Long Tai, a Supreme Grandmaster at the Heaven-Man Unity Realm, unleashing a Primordial True Energy attack..."
Li Cheng was quite satisfied. This was just a level 2 Thunder Magnetic Body, and there was still much room for improvement.
He hadn't yet transformed into a divine ability or its embryonic form.
A thought crossed his mind.
【Dao Fruit: Painting Immortal (lv3, 85%)】
"The Painting Immortal Dao Fruit is also close to reaching lv4 level... It can transform into a divine ability, which is quite exciting."
【Dao Fruit: Immaculate Heart (lv4, 80%)】
【Dao Fruit: Chess Saint (lv4, 75%)】
The maturity of the other two Dao Fruits had also increased significantly, steadily rising.
Li Cheng was very pleased.
In the time it took for a single breath, his thoughts calmed, and he cleared away the misty water vapor that filled the room.
Li Cheng sat cross-legged under the eaves, where the rain fell incessantly, quietly listening to the sound of rain hitting the catalpa tree courtyard.
The sky gradually brightened with a faint white glow.
The rain seemed to have lessened slightly.
Li Cheng took out the Heaven Earth Jade of You Liqing and Qingniao, as for Long Tai's Heaven Earth Jade... it had already been emptied by him.
With a thought, he tore through the obstruction of the Heaven Earth Jade.
Hmm? Li Cheng glanced at the Heaven Earth Jade of the two and was somewhat surprised.
For someone like You Liqing, a powerful cultivator at the Apex Triflower Realm with a Divine Embryo, his collection was undoubtedly vast, but...
Contrary to Li Cheng's expectations, You Liqing was even poorer than he had imagined...
Li Cheng snapped his fingers.
You Liqing, Qingniao, and Long Tai's captured spirits appeared, respectfully bowing.
"Only seven fifth-grade divine crystals... Old You, you're a general of a camp, how can you be so tight-fisted?" Li Cheng asked.
You Liqing: "..."
This lord of his seemed a bit like a dog! Killing him, capturing his spirit, and now criticizing his meager wealth right in front of him...
Is he even human?
"My apologies, my lord, for disappointing you. Usually... I would reward my subordinates."
You Liqing spoke.
"Only two fifth-grade martial pills... You're much poorer than Su Huai Ming, the Divine Carving Master of the Su family."
Li Cheng muttered.
You Liqing: "..."
That's enough, my lord, please don't poke at my heart anymore! However, You Liqing's martial arts collection was quite extensive, and the two Divine Seed martial arts were also recorded within it. Li Cheng took a quick look; it was more complicated than if You Liqing had personally taught him.
"Divine Weapon... Golden Zhangba Python Spear, a lower-tier weapon of the Five Elders..."
"Aren't you a disciple of Ji Mo Li? How can you be so surprisingly poor?" Li Cheng asked.
You Liqing fell silent for a moment.
"This lower-tier weapon of the Five Elders was bestowed upon me by my teacher... It's for cultivating the Divine Seed martial art, the Zhangmo Python Spear."
"My teacher bestowed two Divine Seed martial arts upon each of us, requiring us to integrate the Divine Seed martial arts into the Eight Mystic Gates before attempting to break through to the Divine Warrior realm."
Upon hearing this, Li Cheng's gaze intensified.
"The Chaos-Pacifying King Ji Mo Li..."
One of the five great vassal kings of the Great Jing, standing at the pinnacle of power.
Even the sect masters of various divine sects held him in awe.
"Su Huan Li is too weak and hasn't reached the standard to cultivate Divine Seed martial arts, but my three senior brothers have."
"But I don't know what their Divine Seed martial arts are, as my teacher secretly passed them down, and I'm unaware of them."
"In fact, people only know that my Divine Seed is the Angry Eye Heavenly King Eye, but very few know about the Zhangmo Python Spear."
You Liqing spoke in a deep voice.
Li Cheng nodded in understanding, still wanting to ask something.
Suddenly, Qingniao's captured spirit asked, "General, is it true that you were the one who slaughtered the city, exterminated the clan, and killed people...?"
Li Cheng sensed Qingniao's intense emotional turmoil.
Without answering, he watched with great interest, as he was also curious about these rumors.
You Liqing fell silent, seeming somewhat... afraid to face Qingniao.
"Speak."
Li Cheng said indifferently.
"It was by the order of the prince. Although I wasn't the one who personally carried out the slaughter, I led the team..." You Liqing explained.
Qingniao's captured spirit trembled, her face turning deathly pale, "General, have your hands been stained with blood?"
You Liqing shook his head, "I just didn't stop it."
"It wasn't just the city where you were born."
"Over the years... the prince has slaughtered people in more than one city under the pretext of eradicating the Corpse God Sect. I don't know how many have been killed..."
After speaking, the world fell silent, leaving only the clear and piercing sound of the falling rain.
Li Cheng frowned, "The Chaos-Pacifying King is so cruel?"
"What grudge does Nan Lihuo, the branch sect master of the Heavenly Origin Sect in Jin Guang Prefecture, have with the Chaos-Pacifying King?"
You Liqing lowered his head, and under Li Cheng's will, he truthfully replied, "Slaughtering cities, exterminating clans, and blood feuds."
"The prince once said that in the eyes of the strong, lives are like grass, and after killing one generation, a new one will grow..."
A flash of realization crossed Li Cheng's eyes.
No wonder Nan Lihuo hated the Chaos-Pacifying King, Ji Mo Li, so much, and why he wanted to kill Ji Hai Hui.
A cold glint flashed in Li Cheng's eyes.
Slaughtering cities and exterminating clans, such actions were more evil than the Corpse God Sect.
"What does Ji Mo Li want to do?"
It's impossible to slaughter so many cities without reason, right? You Liqing shook his head, "I don't know."
"Perhaps... it's related to the prince's desire to break through to the Divine Calamity Realm."
Divine Calamity?! Li Cheng's eyes narrowed.
"What is the Divine Calamity?" Li Cheng asked in a deep voice.
"After the Divine Crystal cultivation, above the Divine Core Golden Elixir, is the Divine Embryo, and above that is the Divine Calamity!" You Liqing sat cross-legged, respectfully explaining to Li Cheng.
"The Divine Core realm is divided into three stages: the Primordial Spirit Transformation, the Golden Body Transformation, and the Embryonic Breath Transformation. The Divine Embryo realm also has varying degrees of strength... To break through to the Divine Calamity, the Divine Embryo must undergo four divine transformations."
"The first divine transformation gives birth to the five viscera, the second divine transformation gives birth to a hundred bones, and the third divine transformation gives birth to the four limbs..."
"The fourth divine transformation transforms the head into a divine head."
As You Liqing finished speaking, Li Cheng felt a buzzing sound in his ears, and his divine crystal seemed to be slightly boiling.
The Divine Embryo Realm, where the five organs are formed, the hundred bones are derived, and the four limbs are transformed, is the stage where the Divine Embryo transforms into a divine head, thus achieving the title of Great Deity.
Only after entering the Fourth Divine Transformation can one be called a Great Deity!
You Liqing's words conveyed to Li Cheng that the Sect Master of the Heavenly Origin Divine Sect was a Great Deity at the Divine Embryo Four Transformations Realm.
Throughout the entire Great Jing, such beings were extremely rare.
And Ji Mo Li... was also at this realm!
Li Cheng took a deep breath, and the cold wind blew, carrying a sense of urgency as it ruffled his hair, causing it to dance wildly.
The Divine Embryo Realm... was even more complex than he had imagined.
Li Cheng raised his head and looked at You Liqing's Capture Spirit. "The Divine Embryo has four transformations, but what about the Divine Warrior?"
Upon hearing this, You Liqing's Capture Spirit respectfully replied, "The Divine Warrior Realm is analogous to the Divine Embryo. After a Supreme Grandmaster achieves the Apex Triflower Realm, they can enter the Divine Warrior Realm."
"The Divine Warrior is in harmony with heaven and earth, merging their martial will with the world. It is the purest form, allowing one to borrow the power of heaven and earth for their own use."
"Among the Divine Warriors, the unparalleled ones can change the celestial phenomena with a mere gesture, altering the weather and the sky. They are formidable beings who can transform the energy of heaven and earth with their own aura."
"The Divine Warrior Realm, like the Divine Embryo's four transformations, is divided into four stages, known as the Four Openings of the Divine Warrior."
Even now, as a Capture Spirit, You Liqing's eyes shone with anticipation and longing.
Because he knew that even as Li Cheng's Capture Spirit, his path to advancement wasn't severed, and he still had the opportunity to touch higher realms and become stronger.
Xue Dufu was the epitome of this.
"The Divine Warrior... Four Openings?"
Li Cheng's eyes sparkled with a gleam of understanding.
"What are the Four Openings?"
"The Four Openings of the Divine Warrior are the opening of the Human Essence, the Dantian Sea, the Mountain Path, and the Heavenly Gate."
......
......
The rain poured relentlessly.
Li Cheng transformed You Liqing's Capture Spirit and the others into chess pieces and placed them on the Heavenly Chessboard.
He stood there, slightly dazed.
Gazing at the overflowing raindrops, he slowly exhaled.
When one reaches a certain height, they will see higher mountains, and the world... is always a series of interconnected mountains. Only by crossing one mountain can one witness new landscapes.
Cultivation is no different, whether it's martial arts or divine nature; it's all the same.
Through his conversation with You Liqing's Capture Spirit, Li Cheng finally understood the highest cultivation realms in this world.
The true division of cultivation realms at the pinnacle.
Divine Embryo Four Transformations, Divine Warrior Four Openings...
Li Cheng couldn't help but recall the green finger that had stretched across the Strange Pavilion during his Divine Summoning, a terrifying power that still made him feel suffocated when he thought about it...
What cultivation level did the owner of that green finger possess?
A Divine Embryo Great Deity with a Divine Head?
Or perhaps a Divine Warrior at the peak of the Heavenly Gate?
Or even... beyond both?
Li Cheng's eyes gleamed, and his body trembled with anticipation.
Originally, he had created the Five Elders Rank Mechanized Beast, which also possessed Dragon-Elephant Heavenly Energy, and had fought You Liqing to a draw...
Li Cheng couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and satisfaction, believing that in this world, he had achieved absolute power to protect the safety of his wife and daughter.
But now, Li Cheng finally understood...
In this world, he was still walking on thin ice.
"However, this is how I will become stronger... I'll slowly climb upwards, and one day, I'll reach the pinnacle, becoming the pillar for my wife and daughter, ensuring their safety and peace."
Standing up, the rain gradually lessened.
Li Cheng looked up at the sky, and the leaden clouds seemed to be dispersing.
He took out the Divine Crystal and handed it to his painting clone, encouraging each clone to diligently cultivate.
He stood up and stretched, his body feeling refreshed.
You Liqing's death would undoubtedly cause a significant stir throughout the entire Dao City.
But what did it have to do with him, Li Cheng, a humble and honest Divine Carving Master?
After leaving Listening Thunder Lane, Li Cheng strode towards the depths of the alley.
The dim yellow lamplight gently illuminated the fine winter rain.
After several days apart, the Great Black Dog seemed to have gained some weight. Li Cheng's gaze circled around the dog, causing it to become alert, sensing that this dog was about to angrily demand a head rub.
The boss, dressed in white, sat at the entrance, listening to the wind chimes, smoking a cigarette, the smoke curling upwards, looking quite content.
Li Cheng's mood brightened, dispelling his previous confusion about the future, and he entered the restaurant.
"Boss, I'm about to move into the Divine Sect, so I can see Xi Xi every day, and I'll be able to bring her to the restaurant too."
Li Cheng said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the boss's eyes lit up, and even the listless Great Black Dog on the ground suddenly raised its head.
The Great Black Dog stuck out its tongue.
You finally did something right!
The boss extinguished the cigarette, and a faint smile appeared on his usually indifferent face.
"Wait."
Then, the boss stood up, his white clothes fluttering as he entered the kitchen.
Li Cheng, dressed in black, sat in a chair with his legs crossed, feeling proud and satisfied.
"Dog, come here!"
Li Cheng beckoned to the Great Black Dog.
The Great Black Dog immediately narrowed its eyes.
"Give it a good rub, and I'll bring Xi Xi to play with you another day."
The Great Black Dog's eyes widened, and it knew that Li Cheng was up to something. Every time he came to the restaurant, he would look at the dog with an odd expression!
Dogs have their limits too!
The Great Black Dog gnashed its teeth.
A moment later.
Li Cheng gently rubbed the dog's head, which was lying at his feet, looking pitiful and insulted like a wronged little wife.
In its large dog eyes, tears seemed to be welling up, hot and rolling.
The black fur was incredibly smooth, like the finest silk, and when Li Cheng's palm touched it, it felt as if it were coated with oil, slippery yet not greasy, as if a gentle breeze were blowing through each strand of fur.
With each caress, the wind between the fur responded, creating a pleasant sensation.
Li Cheng, with his eyes narrowed and a slight curve on his lips, gently stroked the dog's head.
His mind, however, was immersed in the Heavenly Chessboard.
And with each caress of the dog's head, he could feel the Corpse God Seal, suppressed within the Heavenly Chessboard, trembling continuously...
After the final tremor.
The refinement of this Corpse God Seal.
Finally, it completed its last struggle.
Using the dog's power to support his own!
Successfully refined!
