A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Immortal Realm

Chapter 774: Immaculate Jade Physique

At the same time, countless beasts of different shapes, forms, and sizes were rushing in through the entrance of the valley before charging straight at Shi Chuankong and Daoist Xie.

All of the weaker beasts that they encountered that were still fleeing out of the valley were instantly trampled to death or devoured on the spot, and a horrific massacre ensued.

Judging from their auras, it seems like we're not dealing with any of the truly troublesome creatures yet, but that could easily change if this drags on for too long, Shi Chuankong thought to himself with a grim expression.

With that in mind, he rose up into the air before swooping down from above while sweeping his sleeves through the air to release a string of array tools, all of which descended onto the ground in the path of the oncoming beasts.

As the wave of ferocious beasts drew closer and closer, Shi Chuankong abruptly made a hand seal, and a burst of silver light rose up from the ground, forming a giant spatial barrier that was thousands of feet wide, spanning all the way from one end of the valley to the other.

A resounding boom rang out as the giant black ape crashed into the silver light barrier, which shuddered violently upon impact, but it remained completely unmoved.

The black ape's aura indicated that it was at the early-True Immortal Stage, and a furious look appeared in its eyes as it began raining blows down upon the silver light barrier with its incredibly thick and strong fists.

Immediately thereafter, the azure serpent and the purple spider also began ramming into the light barrier, but despite their best efforts, the light barrier remained as resilient as ever.

Shi Chuankong heaved a faint sigh of relief upon seeing this, then sat down with his legs crossed.

Now that they were finally out of the Gray Realm, he wouldn't have to rely on Immortal Origin Stones for energy replenishment any longer.

On the other side, the wary look on Daoist Xie's face eased slightly as it observed Shi Chuankong from afar, and it stowed Thunderslash away before removing a gourd from its waist.

It tipped the gourd upside-down as it chanted a brief incantation, then patted the underside of the gourd, and a vortex of spiritual light instantly emerged from the mouth of the gourd, following which a series of dark yellow beans emerged before raining down onto the ground.

As soon as they landed on the ground, each bean instantly transformed into a Dao Warrior that was around ten feet tall.

All of the Dao Warriors were clad in suits of antiquated armor that were riddled with lightning patterns, and they formed around a dozen uniform units, with each unit consisting of hundreds of Dao Warriors, then began to charge out of the valley in a stable formation.

The sound of their thundering footsteps echoed throughout the valley in a resounding fashion, and they were quickly surrounded by the oncoming waves of ferocious beasts.

Individually, these Dao Warriors were slightly inferior in power to these beasts, but thanks to their flawless teamwork, they were quickly able to gain the upper hand, and they began tearing through the enemy ranks.

Meanwhile, Daoist Xie was hovering high up in the sky, looking out into the distance with tightly furrowed brows.

There were massive clouds of smoke rising up in that direction, and it seemed like there were many more ferocious beasts on their way.

It then looked up at the sky as a reminiscent look flashed through its eyes, following which it turned its gaze back to Han Li.

At this moment, Han Li's eyes were tightly shut, and it seemed that he was completely oblivious to everything happening around him. The surrounding world's origin qi had formed an enormous white vortex around him, and it stretched all the way up to the dark clouds in the sky like a giant pillar.

Situated at the very center of the vortex, Han Li's body was lifted up into the air by the world's origin qi, and his immortal acupoints were glowing brightly, while his skin had taken on a pristine, jade-like appearance.

All of his bones and meridians were visible through his near-transparent skin and flesh, and they were all giving off a faint golden sheen.

Right at this moment, his eyes suddenly sprang open as he exhaled to release a plume of black mist, and the surrounding white light was instantly set alight.

Countless white flames emerged within the vortex of spiritual qi, constantly roasting Han Li's body to make it even more immaculate and transparent.

The dark clouds above the white flames had also begun to light up, and specks of five-colored light emerged within them, presenting a breathtaking sight to behold.

The ultimate pursuit for a Jade Immortal was to attain an immaculate immortal physique that was as unblemished as jade, and their physical constitutions were naturally far superior to those of Golden Immortals, while their spiritual sense would also be elevated to a different level.

On top of that, Jade Immortals also became more in sync with heaven and earth, the Great Dao, and the laws of heaven and earth, thereby allowing them to better understand and harness law powers.

It could be said that the degree of purity of a Jade Immortal's physique determined how far they would be able to go on the path of cultivation, and the astonishing phenomena that Han Li was triggering now naturally had much to do with the four Baleful Cleansing Ponds that he had endured.

Shi Chuankong was roused from his meditation by these incredible phenomena, and he turned to Han Li with an awestruck expression as he murmured to himself, "As expected, Fellow Daoist Li really is always full of surprises."

As soon as his voice trailed off, he turned his gaze to the silver light barrier, upon which his brows immediately furrowed slightly.

At this moment, all of the purple spiders were shooting five-colored webs onto the silver light barrier, thereby giving themselves the purchase required to climb up the light barrier.

A ferocious roar rang out as the giant black ape climbed its way up the light barrier using the cobwebs, then vaulted itself over the light barrier entirely before pouncing at Han Li with fierce bloodlust in its eyes.

However, before it could reach Han Li, a streak of silver light flashed past to pulverize its head.

Unfortunately, its demise did nothing to intimidate all of the other beasts, and they continued to rush toward the silver light barrier without any regard for their own safety.

Meanwhile, some of the massive figures within the dense mist up ahead were also gradually becoming clearer and clearer.

"I should refer to you as Fellow Daoist Xie, right?" Shi Chuankong asked as he approached Daoist Xie, and the latter turned to face him, but remained silent.

"It doesn't look like Brother Li will be coming out of seclusion anytime soon, and there will only be more and more beasts drawn to this place by the vast abundance of the world's origin qi here. Hence, we have to work together to protect him. There's no need to be so wary of me, I bear no ill will toward Brother Li," Shi Chuankong assured with a smile.

Daoist Xie merely nodded in response, and Shi Chuankong could only shake his head in a resigned manner upon seeing this.

After that, he flew onto the silver light barrier, then flipped a hand over to produce a palm-sized silver mirror, which immediately released numerous strands of silver light at his behest. The strands of silver light shot forth through the air to strike the azure serpents and purple spiders climbing up the silver light barrier, tearing their bodies to shreds.

Meanwhile, Daoist Xie withdrew its gaze as it began wielding both Thunderslash and Heavenslah again, and all of a sudden, it burrowed into the ground, disappearing out of sight.

Shortly thereafter, hundreds of pillars of lightning erupted out of the ground amid a burst of violent rumbling, completely destroying the ground at the entrance of the valley, and all of the demon beast that had just rushed to the entrance of the valley were instantly eradicated by the pillars of lightning.

All of a sudden, a giant rift appeared in the ground, and a white centipede that was over a thousand feet in length emerged before flying up into the air, then crashed heavily down onto the ground with all of its joints shattered.

Standing atop its head Daoist Xie, who was slowly pulling Thunderslash out of its body in an expressionless manner.

The Dao Warriors had already eradicated all of the demon beasts in the valley, and they hadn't suffered many casualties in the process. All of the formations were still relatively intact, and under Daoist Xie's instructions, they began to gather at the entrance of the valley to form a dense defensive line.

......

Over three months flew by in a flash.

Lightning was flashing incessantly above the valley as a giant winged serpent snaked its way through the dark clouds while releasing streaks of black light out of its mouth in all directions.

Behind it was a figure that was enveloped in arcs of golden lightning, and they were constantly moving while wielding a pair of antiquated blades, with which they had already been able to inflict a series of huge gashes onto the serpent's body.

The serpent's eyes were filled with resentment, but it was hindered by its own enormous frame, and its assailant was far too fast for it to catch.

Right at this moment, the figure abruptly appeared on the winged serpent's back amid a flash of lightning, then lashed out with both blades at once, striking viciously down upon the points where the serpent's wings were connected to its body.
