[Revival of the Withered Tree triggered, your body undergoes new changes.]
[Your physique begins its ninth nirvana.]
[Your Body Recovery Speed doubles again.]
[Begin tempering all of your body’s acupoints. Once the tempering is complete, all acupoints will be able to autonomously absorb the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.]
"It’s finally successful!"
Looking at one Blood Beast after another taking form before his eyes, Wen Zhixing smiled slightly.
With a thought, he issued a command to the Life Defying Blood Body.
"Withdraw the blood qi, close the array method!"
No sooner had he given the command than Wen Zhixing completely lost consciousness, lying on the ground, his life and death unknown.
The array method was activated by the Life Defying Blood Body, and only it could close it.
Fortunately, although the Life Defying Blood Body didn’t quite understand, it still knew to withdraw its own blood qi.
In an instant, the array method was closed, and the formed Blood Beasts turned into mist one by one and dispersed...
After an unknown amount of time, Wen Zhixing’s tightly closed eyes began to tremble slightly.
He then slowly opened them.
In this instant, the prompt panel began to pop up.
[The ninth nirvana is complete.]
[Your Body Recovery Speed doubles.]
[Your entire body’s acupoints have been tempered and can now autonomously absorb the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.]
[Your physique has transformed, realm breakthrough, current cultivation: Shedding Mortal ninth level.]
[Your life-span +10, current life-span: 151.]
Wen Zhixing involuntarily clenched his fists.
He felt as if every part of his body was breathing on its own.
The Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth began to drill into his body.
Meanwhile, at the Sea of Qi.
That long-lost sensation of qi appeared once again.
Now that his body had reached the Shedding Mortal ninth level, stepping into the Qi Movement Realm was just a matter of a thought.
Wen Zhixing hadn’t had the chance to feel it thoroughly when his body began to transform again.
[After nine nirvanas, your potential has been stimulated to the limit, the mortal body begins to shed.]
[Your physique begins its tenth nirvana.]
[After the nirvana is complete, your Constitution ’Revival of the Withered Tree’ will transform into the ’Longevity Body’.]
"The tenth nirvana, Longevity Body!"
Although Wen Zhixing knew he would shed his mortal body, he hadn’t expected that his ’Revival of the Withered Tree’ Constitution would also undergo its own nirvana in the end.
That sounded a bit convoluted, but it was the truth.
Longevity Body... Does this mean that just after embarking on the path of cultivation, I’m about to achieve immortality? Wen Zhixing murmured softly.
A sensation of intense heat began to emanate from within his body, as if he were being burned by a fierce fire.
A faint golden glow appeared on the surface of his skin.
Ancient and mystical Dao patterns, like writhing dragons, wound around his body.
Every inch of his skin began to glow with a crystal-clear luster.
Meanwhile, within the Sea of Qi.
A wisp of Spiritual Qi, shining with a divine, fairy-like glow, was slowly being nurtured, beginning to flicker and radiate light.
[Your unique constitution begins to nurture primordial energy.]
Wen Zhixing unconsciously sat cross-legged.
His mind was filled with an indescribable sense of profound mystery.
It was as if all the Dao melodies in the universe were converging toward him.
This was an extremely peculiar state; Wen Zhixing had merged with everything in the universe, resonating with the Great Dao.
Scenes began to emerge in his mind.
Across the land, violent exotic beasts roamed.
Their malevolent qi surged, eager to engulf living beings and wreak havoc upon the mortal realm.
There were cultivators riding swords, their robust Spiritual Qi transforming into a long river, vast and flowing, purging malevolent beasts in all directions.
There were also supreme true demons seated in the abyss, with countless skulls and bones scattered across the land.
Stars shifted, mountains eroded, everything turned into nothingness, only to be born anew.
No matter how peerless your grace, you ultimately cannot withstand the erosion of time.
Above the nine heavens, however, there was a figure, seemingly existing eternally, watching the cosmic cycles and the transformation of seas into mulberry fields.
[You have entered a state of sudden enlightenment, contemplating.]
[Your Eternal Youth Formula has officially reached the third level.]
[Your Eternal Youth Formula has officially reached the fourth level.]
[Your Eternal Youth Formula has officially reached the tenth level, Grand Completion.]
[Your life-span +80, current life-span: 231.]
The next moment, Wen Zhixing opened his eyes.
His eyes were deep, seemingly containing the vastness of stars.
Wen Zhixing emerged from the state of sudden enlightenment.
He lowered his head slightly, carefully sensing the changes.
The qi and blood in his body began to boil; every inch of his flesh radiated brilliance.
The muscles on his body bulged slightly, harboring explosive power within.
A constant cracking sound came from his bones, as if his entire body was undergoing a thousand refinements.
Like an awakened dragon, he exuded an oppressive aura that left one breathless.
And within his body, the changes were even more profound.
Deep within the Sea of Qi, strands of incredibly profound primordial energy began to be released.
This primordial energy merged into the Sea of Qi. It immediately transformed into golden dragons that roamed inside his body, reaching the five viscera and six bowels, coursing through his limbs and bones, and filling his entire being.
Then, it seeped out from his pores, enveloping his surroundings.
With each inhalation and exhalation, it was like swallowing clouds and exhaling mist, his vital breath profound and enduring.
"This is true rebirth from nirvana!"
Wen Zhixing felt an unprecedentedly powerful impact.
Just then, a strange sensation came from his chest.
Wen Zhixing frowned, soon discovering that it was the Heart-eating Venomous Worm restlessly twisting its body.
It even let out a painful shriek!
The connection between it and Wen Zhixing was being forcefully severed, preventing it from parasitizing him again.
His physical body had actually begun to obliterate the Heart-eating Venomous Worm.
The Heart-eating Venomous Worm didn’t even have the slightest ability to resist.
I need to keep it. A thought crossed Wen Zhixing’s mind.
This was what Si Nanyan used to control him.
It can’t die yet, or it might lead to new troubles. It could also lull Si Nanyan into a false sense of security.
Wen Zhixing began to try and control his own power, even releasing some primordial energy to nurture the venomous worm, preventing his body from rejecting it.
Soon, the Heart-eating Venomous Worm calmed down.
Indiscernibly, it seemed to have grown stronger.
Its countless tentacles took root once again in his heart.
"Phew..." Wen Zhixing breathed a sigh of relief.
If the Heart-eating Venomous Worm had died, Si Nanyan would probably have come to kill me by now.
I wonder if the recent disturbance will be detected? Wen Zhixing couldn’t concern himself with that for now. Even if it is detected, there’s nothing I can do.
The next moment, panel prompts popped up in front of him.
[The tenth nirvana has ended.]
[Your body has transformed, your realm has broken through, current cultivation: Qi Movement first level.]
[Your life-span +20, current life-span: 251.]
[You have shed your mortal coil, achieving the Longevity Body.]
[Longevity Body:] Blazing Gold Quality. An eternal body, your physical form will exist forever, transcending time, immortal and everlasting.
Immortal and everlasting... Have I truly become immortal? Wen Zhixing was ecstatic, but he immediately sensed something was amiss.
Wait! Why is my life-span still only 251 years? Wen Zhixing was taken aback, his expression freezing.
What about the promised immortality?
He then calmed down, a thought occurring to him.
No, it’s just my physical body that will exist forever, everlasting...
