Omnipotent Sage

Chapter 437: Real Body

Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

Compared to other cultivators, Zhou Bao had amazing luck. This luck was pretty much against nature. It also let him think that there were countless people who needed something to look up to. This caused him to get lost so often when he was improving his strength like crazy. He often wondered which way he should go.

Cultivation-wise, he was only at Level Nine. But the Internal Qi in him had already become Real Essence of an Individual Immortal. He even had Dharma power of a Genuine Immortal. After his body had transformed from the Innate Deity carcass in Taiyuan Heaven, he already far exceeded the standard of a Genuine Immortal. All these made his combat capability soar madly. He had the ability to fight with Genuine Immortals of Venerable Realm. It was also the result of him being unable to further dig out the power of the Innate Deity carcass.

But unfortunately, his cultivation was still at Level Nine. He could break through Level Nine at any time but had to suppress his cultivation because of the Golden Book of Fate.

What does it mean to suppress one’s cultivation at Level Nine?

Many people thought that cultivation meant Internal Qi and Real Essence or a little power of the spirit. Zhou Bao had already exceeded all of these far above Level Nine’s limit. So why did he still suppress his cultivation at Level Nine?

The key laid in the spirit!

There was an extremely important, and also the most critical step when one advances from Level Nine to the Mysterious Realm. It was called Pulse-Steadying!

For many of those who wanted to reach Mysterious Realm, they would naturally think that Pulse-Steadying was similar to Bone Forging and Tendon Changing from before. They would think that it was purely just the strengthening of one’s body structure to withstand stronger and higher quality pneuma, like Real Essence and Dharma power.

However, this was not the case. Strengthening one’s power to withstand it was only part of the purpose. The main purpose of Pulse-Steadying, which was also the most critical step, was the infusion of Real Body and body, as well as resetting the tendons and meridians.

The Palace Leader of the Palace of Destruction Demon and Dark Lord Mie Chen, one of the Three Grandmasters of Northern Yuan, were all people who have reached the Demi-Mysterious Realm and have the Heavenly Devil Real Body. To complete that last step, they need to infuse it with their body and reset their tendons and meridians. After a successful infusion and a steadied pulse, they would then enter the Mysterious Realm.

For those Level Eight experts that have started to condense Real Essence Source in their acupoints, they all had powers to interact with the secret of the spirit and understand it. At this point, regardless of one’s intentions, they would all start to condense their Real Body. Those without the intention are the Individual Immortals who did not inherit any powers but made it thus far based solely on their capabilities. Experts act based on their instincts and concentrate on condensing their thoughts. For those who had inherited powers, they had started preparing for the condensation of their Real Body long ago.

Everyone had a different Real Body. Each person’s different body conditions, their special cultivation methods, their special treatments, and different personalities could all cause the slightest, or biggest, differences in the Real Body that they cultivate.

For a normal cultivator, the first step in training the Real Body was to condense one’s own thoughts. Once their thoughts were fully matured, their Real Body would slowly show its form like a cocoon turning into a butterfly, and it will take a leap in quality.

But Zhou Bao was different; his fist intent had already been practiced long ago. But it was the untrustable, undevoted, and bastard-like kind which could not help him practice his Real Body. Even if they gave him their pneuma from 33 Heavens, he would still be unable to attain the Cosmic Real Body.

The Cosmic Real Body was a beautiful hope, a broken goal, and just a dream of an idiot.

Not only those with an intention could attain the Real Body. Both intention and the Real Body are derivatives of the spirit. For many, it is only right to attain the Real Body through condensation of intention. This is only because both have the characteristics of the spirit. But there are also many that use different methods to attain the Real Body. One of them is to look for a powerful spirit of a living creature. At the end of the day, for the longest time in history, humans were the weakest living creatures. While they can practice and attain some sense of achievement, some natural gaps still existed. It is very obvious that despite practicing till the Metaphysic Individual Immortal Realm, or even the Realm of True Immortals, humans were still very powerless when facing powerful living creatures like the Primordial Fierce Beast. Forget about the adult beasts, even the child beasts were able to hurt human practitioners who have been practicing for thousands of years.

From this point of view, it could be said that the world was unfair, very unfair. Differences existed right from birth.

For cultivators, the best way to attain the Real Body was not to condense intentions on their own, but to directly take in the spirit of living creatures. By combining these powerful spirits, as well as their intentions, with their own to create a Real Body that possessed the traits of powerful living creatures was the best choice.

But how many actually succeeded?

In ancient times, these powerful living creatures may have existed, but they have all been captured by the mighty and great practitioners of antiquity times. Hence, Lan Shui’er put in so much effort in the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan. She kept it a secret for more than a hundred years and used up all her resources to mature it. All of this was to attain the Real Body of Zhuyan and infuse Zhuyan’s spirit, flesh, and blood into her own Real Body. She would then break through her bottleneck and possess unparalleled power. But who would have thought that it would eventually help Zhou Bao instead? How could she not hate him for that?

Putting the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan aside, Zhou Bao originally had the right conditions to condense a strong Real Body. After he sucked in the kindling of the Primitive Dragon Chimera and also successfully bred it, he could totally take out its spirit from the Demonic Fire. As for the Real Body, he practiced Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique and could even use the nine Fire Dragons as his Real Body. Other than that, he also understood the third phase of the technique and two forms of the Real Dragon’s Nine Forms. He could also use these two forms as his Real Body. Also, his fist intent, while unable to be his Real Body, could be used as a model. By incorporating the strongest rules of the universe into his Real Body, his Real Body could become more powerful by multifold. But exactly because of those many choices, Zhou Bao became lost and confused. He had no sense of direction, did not know the way to go, and could not decide which to use as the foundation of his Real Body.

Real Bodies can be strengthened and infused. After becoming one with the body, one would have to undergo the Thunder Tribulation to become a Genuine Immortal. The power from the Thunder Tribulation can be used to forge the Real Body into Dharma Body, which possesses insane power. Hence, this was the biggest reason why a Genuine Immortal could completely destroy an Individual Immortal.

Initially, Zhou Bao had already decided to use the Primitive Dragon Chimera as the base of his Real Body. He would then engulf the Nine Forms of Real Dragon he had condensed from practicing Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique and strengthen his Real Body. But after he gained the life essence of the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan, as well as all the other spirits, he had no idea what his next move would be.

The Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan was in no way inferior to the presence of the Primitive Dragon Chimera. Most importantly, Zhou Bao only had the Demonic Fire Seed of the Primitive Dragon Chimera. After breeding its spirit, he unknowingly wasted its flesh and blood. But this time around, Zhou Bao absorbed a single giant egg of the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan. Other than its spirit, he also took in its essence, blood, and flesh. These would come in very beneficial when undergoing Pulse-Steadying.

However, he only had Zhuyan for a while and was still not familiar with it. He needed time to fully evolve it into a Real Body. On the other hand, he had already been playing with the Demonic Fire of the Primitive Dragon Chimera for more than a decade. Even the spirit of the Dragon Chimera was bred through his efforts. Hence, evolving into a Real Body was the most logical thing to happen. There was no need to worry about any side-effects that may exist in the future.

In the midst of calculating his losses and gains, he began to be doubtful.

The challenges that he faced at that time led him to passively make a decision.

Under the present circumstances, it would be impossible for him to enter the Mysterious Realm. But he also needed the strength of the Primitive Dragon Chimera urgently. So the only way would be to evolve the spirit of the Primitive Dragon Chimera into his Outer-body Incarnation.

And he also happened to possess the best tool for doing so – the Dark Female Pearl of Pure Yang Celestial Device level. All problems were then solved.

He was going to use the Dark Female Pearl to make an Outer-body Incarnation. That way, he would not be recognized when he is in the Sea Area.

To make this Outer-body Incarnation, it was all about techniques.

It could not be obtained as and when you like. Zhou Bao may know the tricks to it, but they were all taught to him by Green Spirit. He had never tried it before and this would be his first try. Zhou Bao had his own considerations.

If he wanted to save Ji Yeyue and the rest, he would have to go deep into that so-called Dragon Abyss Prison. He knew nothing about this place. He thought about going in as a prisoner, but he didn’t dare to imagine the great dangers that awaited him.

At the same time, a slight sense of danger started to form in the bottom of his heart. After understanding the roughness and capabilities of the Sea Area, he realized that there were numerous ending points in the killing plan. The loopholes were even more in number and bigger than those of a fishing net.

Everything felt like a set-up scam, one with hidden intentions. And in this scam, they were just an eye-catching tool to attract people’s attention.

“To use a fairy weapon in this set-up, this sect must have a huge appetite for sure, right?!”

The blazing flames from all over his body had started to concentrate on his right palm. In a few breaths, the Dark Female Pearl in his hand had been completely engulfed by the Demonic Fire. The shadow of the struggling Primitive Dragon Chimera could be seen in the fire. Eventually, under the control of Zhou Bao, it went into the pearl.

After finishing all this, Zhou Bao sighed in relief, lifted his head, and felt it. What he had just done, creating a Grand Demonic Qi of Primitive Dragon Chimera’s Demonic Fire, should have already attracted some Demonic Immortals of this Right-angle Bay, right? Then what he had to do next was easy: Leave this place.

A golden light flashed behind Zhou Bao’s head. Afterwards, it turned into a circle of light resembling a golden halo. Appearing behind Zhou Bao, this halo violently flashed and lit up Zhou Bao’s whole body. Then, it started to dim slowly. After everything disappeared, Zhou Bao’s figure also disappeared in the house, and he reappeared in a grey space.

This space here was what that he had gained. A space that completely belonged to him and was supported by the Furnace of Immortality. Time in this space passed at a different speed compared to the outside world. And there was more than sufficient pneuma. It was the best place to make his Outer-body Incarnation.
