"Blood represents the dark, soul represents the flesh, when heaven and earth first separated, when man first formed, the body is the blood soul, fully tangible. The intent is the spirit soul, fully illusory. Transform the illusory into the tangible, transform the tangible into the illusory…"
Within the Great Blood Soul Technique, the very first passage of the scripture elucidated the mysteries of the human body's flesh and blood.
Human intelligence was an illusory thing, called the spirit soul.
The human physical body was a real thing, called the blood soul.
What is called spirit and soul together, spirit is illusory, soul is real. Only by combining the two is there life; lacking either one results in direct death.
A cultivator's Natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation was the mental power within the spirit soul, gathering heaven and earth origin qi, condensed with various divine abilities as the foundation.
The Natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation, with its various divine abilities, was the skeletal framework, while the heaven and earth origin qi was the flesh and blood.
However, the Natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation ultimately still had flaws; only when it finally blended into the cultivator's physical flesh and blood would it truly achieve the Undying Body.
Fang Han's current Natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation had already cultivated the unnamed domain that combined the three great domains of "Buddha, Demon, God", fusing the powers of the Eternal Demon Domain, the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and the Kingdom of Gods. It could be said there were no longer any flaws. His Natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation was already at the realm of the Undying Body.
His physical body was also half an Undying Body.
There was only a single point, which was that his head had not been refined.
His head was unfathomably solid.
Yet now, cultivating the "Great Blood Soul Technique", Fang Han felt a slight tendency for his head to melt. Originally, the "Great Blood Soul Technique" was extremely difficult to cultivate, but Fang Han had devoured quite a bit of chaotic flesh and blood. His physical body was formidable, and his blood vitality was robust; additionally using the Little Destiny Technique, successfully cultivating the "Great Blood Soul Technique" was not a difficult matter.
"Blood soul condensing, blood shadow incarnation, supreme among ninety-nine, Blood Emperor God King, ever-changing, rebirth from a single drop of blood, undying physical frame!"
"Eternal destiny, with your power, burn my lifespan, augment my flesh and blood, swift completion of the divine ability!"
As Fang Han familiarized himself with the numerous mysteries of the Great Blood Soul Technique, the scripture flowed once through his heart, and he became familiar with the various methods of cultivation. He was now an eternal giant, a prominent figure in the cultivation world, meant to live ten thousand years, another ten thousand years, and ten thousand times ten thousand years. When cultivating divine abilities, he was vastly faster than cultivators in the Divine Ability stage.
A wisp of blood light danced on his fingertips, and at the same time, the majestic power of destiny within his body was burning, burning thoroughly.
The power of destiny wound around his physical body and suddenly permeated inward in a flash.
Subsequently, his physical body exhibited a transparent blood color, shrinking significantly, but its power became much more condensed. The chaotic flesh and blood essence devoured inside it, all previous medicinal pills, the six God Core Tablets, the God Sealing Great Magic, the Heaven Shrouding Demonic Art—all of it manifested.
Rumble!
Fang Han burned a full thousand years of lifespan to cast the Little Destiny Technique.
Under the powerful force of the Little Destiny Technique, Fang Han only felt that the most microscopic particles of his flesh and blood were rearranging and recombining, presenting themselves in the most perfect manner.
His physical body used to be powerful, but its various origin qi were somewhat chaotic and disorganized. But now, the Great Blood Soul Technique was regulating this origin qi and flesh and blood, refining his flesh and blood down to every tiny particle while perfectly combining them according to rules.
If an ordinary eternal giant were to cultivate the "Great Blood Soul Technique", this process of condensing flesh and blood and recombining them would take spans of sixty years several times over.
However, augmented by the Little Destiny Technique, burning his lifespan, the power of destiny drawn from the void stimulated endless life essence, instantly curtailing and further curtailing the time required for this process.
One two-hour period passed, two two-hour periods passed, half a day passed…
On Fang Han's body, streaks of blood shadows flickered, resembling contorting insects from the immemorial era. Under the contortion of these insects, his body grew increasingly condensed and increasingly powerful, his head exhibiting a crystalline blood-red hue.
Within his mind, the nine great seas of consciousness slowly rotated, and having been permeated by the power of flesh and blood, they seemed to display a semi-melting tendency.
"Excellent, as long as the mind melts, my body can merge into one with my Natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation, achieving a true Undying Body. Elevating my realm once again, my lifespan and power will naturally reach an unimaginable level."
Fang Han rejoiced immensely in his heart!
This was an opportunity for him to break through to the Undying Body.
His accumulation was terrifyingly robust, shocking even figures like Master Chu Nan. If he cultivated the Undying Body, he would definitely be at the pinnacle. Soon, he might even comprehend spatial rules.
For an ordinary expert with an Undying Body, comprehending spatial rules was basically impossible, unless they had immense luck. Some experts with the Undying Body cultivated for tens of thousands of years yet still failed to comprehend the laws, eventually reaching the end of their lifespan and disappearing from heaven and earth.
Both the Ten Thousand Lifespan Realm and the Undying Body were merely accumulating power; comprehending spatial rules was what truly tied one to the origin of heaven and earth.
However, given Fang Han's current accumulation, once he broke through to the Undying Body, he indeed had the opportunity to comprehend spatial rules. Upon becoming a person who comprehended laws, his status would be entirely different. Within the Ascension Sect, he could stand on equal footing with Supreme Elders and even possess the capability to interfere with the overarching authority of Headmaster Feng Baiyu.
Within the Ascension Heavenly Palace, he would also have a place of his own.
He could even comprehend the Great Yin Yang Technique and read the Ascension to Immortality Canon. He would also possess the power to sanction anyone at will.
If reaching the Longevity Secret Realm meant becoming an eternal giant with an exalted status, then having the Undying Body meant being unbound by laws and rules. However, if one comprehended spatial rules and began to come into contact with the origin of the universe, that was the true beginning of a myth. Every such figure was an existence that could travel and traverse through the void.
For example, even Master Chu Nan, to travel from the Limitless Great World to the Profound Yellow Great World, needed to burn thirty million Pure Yang Pills—equivalent to depleting many years of cultivation base—and rely on a high-grade Dao Artifact to do so.
But, a mythical figure at the third stage of the Longevity Secret Realm who had comprehended spatial laws could directly tear space and travel back and forth, without relying on any Dao Artifacts.
"Refine the head! Dharma manifestation and physical body, merging into one, origin qi transformation! Achieve the Undying!"
Fang Han roared and howled long, urging unceasingly. His body suddenly flashed, turning into a bloody rainbow that traversed back and forth within the Yellow Springs Diagram. Many phantom images flickered within the bloody rainbow.
His Natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation merged into the bloody rainbow and began to combine with his body's flesh and blood.
His head also began to melt.
However, just as his mind was finally about to melt, the blood light over his entire body jolted, condensing into a blood-colored long-hom-shaped talisman that permeated into his body and imprinted itself within the Natal Heaven and Earth Dharma Manifestation.
This blood-colored talisman was exactly the formation structure formed after cultivating the "Great Blood Soul Technique" to completion.
"What a pity, what a pity! Still couldn't break through to the Undying Body!" Although Fang Han successfully cultivated the Great Blood Soul Technique, he still felt immense pity in his heart. The Undying Body was not broken through; he was just a little bit short, just a hairsbreadth away, lacking only that final membrane. "However, my magic power seems to have grown quite a lot."
Originally, Fang Han had fifty thousand years of lifespan and a vigorous strength of 1.2 billion galloping fierce horses. But now, although his lifespan had just decreased by a thousand years, leaving only forty-nine thousand years, because he successfully cultivated the Great Blood Soul Technique, his power elevated again, reaching the force of 1.3 billion galloping fierce horses.
Which meant to say, Fang Han now possessed power equivalent to thirteen great eternal giants working together in fusion.
Right when Fang Han was in the depths of the Yellow Springs Diagram, condensing the Great Blood Soul Technique and comprehending the mysteries of the Undying Body. At the ceiling of his room, a flash of bright light occurred, as if someone was watching him.
"This Fang Yu among the batch of newly recruited Golden Core disciples can be considered quite good. To think he condensed ten divine abilities. Furthermore, he still has the potential for ascension, I don't know if he can cultivate to the Wind and Fire Great Tribulation."
Within a massive palatial room in the Holy Maiden Hall, several women were gathered together. Every single woman was as beautiful as a celestial maiden, each with their own distinct character and stunning temperament.
Among them, Han Xi, who had brought Fang Han in, was impressively present.
"Although it is said that way, it will still depend on him gaining some experience. We will see if he progresses and grows." These women rotated a mirror and observed step by step. Numerous Golden Core disciples entered their field of vision.
The illusory image displayed by Fang Han in his room was just momentarily reflected before passing by. It wasn't that they paid special attention to Fang Han.
"The Hall Master has gone to the Senate this time; I don't know if she can successfully impeach Master Chu Nan? I heard that Master Chu Nan failed miserably this time. He took a massive loss; not only did he lose the majority of the sect's Golden Core disciples, but even his subordinates, the two Vice Hall Masters Luo Shuibei and Cang Yingzi, were taken away. He himself almost didn't make it back, and even the high-grade Dao Artifact, the Star Emperor Dragon Bed, was lost. He is truly miserable this time."
"Is that so? Even the Star Emperor Dragon Bed is lost! This is a high-grade Dao Artifact, a high-grade Dao Artifact!"
"Indeed, losing the Star Emperor Dragon Bed has cost him a lot of strength. From now on, he won't be able to act arrogantly anymore. Moreover, the damages this time cost him any possibility of comprehending spatial laws. His position as the Big Dipper Hall Master might not be secure anymore."
"Just what kind of formidable figure did he provoke? To actually render him in such a miserable state?"
"I heard it's a figure from the Profound Yellow Great World, and a disciple of the Ascension Sect at that. This matter has already shocked the Senate. Now, the Senate has dispatched experts to calculate in secret, then go search for and strangle this Ascension Sect disciple."
"To be able to beat Master Chu Nan to such a state, could it be that Feng Baiyu of the Ascension Sect came?"
"No, it seems to be a few young disciples."
"Young disciples? So formidable? Master Chu Nan is considered outstanding, with an Undying Body, unbound by laws and rules, yet he was beaten to such a state?"
"Regardless of what state he was beaten into, for us, the more miserable, the better. This person Master Chu Nan hasn't been targeting our Holy Maiden Hall for just a day or two, he even attempted to sexually harass our junior sisters among us! Such a person deserves to die a thousand deaths. Our task now is to gather up all the Golden Core disciples. We will not let the Big Dipper Hall replenish fresh blood."
"It's like this, we will strike the power of the Big Dipper Hall in every possible way. Right, in three more days, it will be the day our Holy Maiden Hall's disciples go to the underground monster world to go strangle monsters. Let this newly recruited batch of Golden Core disciples lead the vanguard."
