Immortality begins by swallowing the stars

One dollar island.

Lu Jing was sitting cross-legged on the reef and preaching, with four disciples below listening respectfully.

Suddenly, Lu Jing stopped preaching and turned to look into the distance.

Thousands of miles away, in Baiji County, a towering headless god and demon that was thousands of feet tall, wearing only an animal skin skirt and mostly barefoot, was running across the ground.

The headless demon had a face on its chest, with its nipples as eyes and its belly button as a mouth, and it looked extremely ferocious.

"Xingtian Formation!" Lu Jing couldn't help but exclaim.

Although he has not yet fully understood the great Dao of the universe, he has already touched the power of space. Therefore, he does not need to use any mental energy and can still sense things thousands of miles away. His perception is no less than that of ordinary gods and immortals.

"It is worthy of being a formation that can only be formed by a thousand celestial immortals and a hundred thousand scattered immortals. It is the true power of the gods and immortals!"

Emperor Xia and the Wuxian Sect each have hundreds of thousands or even millions of immortals, so the war is no longer a simple confrontation.

Either forming a large formation or controlling puppets, they can rely on the strength of the crowd to unleash the power of gods and immortals.

Fighting forces below the level of gods and immortals had no chance to be used in this war.

"Emperor Xia did not send me any more warnings. It seems that the Yuan'e Messenger Formation Diagram has worked, but it only provides me with temporary peace.

“Even if my appearance sets off a butterfly effect, it cannot change the trend of this single world’s destiny battle turning into a realm war for the entire Chi Ming realm.

“By then, all the gods and immortals will perish one by one.

"Time is limited, hurry up and learn the truth."

……

Two years later.

Lu Jing, who was sitting cross-legged in the hall, was suddenly shocked and joy appeared in his eyes.

The space that was constantly fluctuating around him suddenly became completely quiet.

It was as if he had become an extremely obedient child.

"I finally understood the great Dao of the universe. Well, it happened a little earlier than I expected."

Lu Jing's mind moved, and the formation restrictions in the entire hall were reorganized again: "Now even the Dao Ancestor's consciousness can't penetrate it."

One of the important reasons why he had been concentrating on comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth for the past two years was to avoid being spied on by the Dao Ancestor.

“After thoroughly understanding and mastering the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, I can now sense the Way of Heaven, the Way of the Five Elements of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth, as well as the Way of Destruction, Life, Yin and Yang!

"The only thing that cannot be touched is the Chaos Heavenly Dao."

If you want to comprehend a heavenly way, you must master a great way that is differentiated from the heavenly way.

If one wants to comprehend the chaotic heavenly way, one must thoroughly comprehend and master one heavenly way.

The Great Dao of Qiankun is differentiated from the nine great heavenly ways and is a very special way among the great ways.

"However, the Heavenly Dao that I sense most clearly is not the Fire Heavenly Dao, but the Destruction Heavenly Dao and the Life Heavenly Dao." Lu Jing was a little surprised. He had comprehended the original law of fire in the Devouring Star Universe.

"It seems that the mystery of the origin is indeed more powerful. Even if I only grasp a trace of the mystery of the origin of destruction, it can make me perceive the way of destruction to a degree beyond imagination."

Lu Jing smiled: "Mirror of Life and Death!"

Afterwards, an invisible mirror appeared in his soul. It was the talent he brought over from his original body during this journey.

Maybe it can be called a gifted supernatural power!

One is the power of will, the other is the mirror of life and death.

"The Mirror of Life and Death also works here. My increased understanding of the Way of Destruction can also be transformed into the Way of Life... That's it."

Lu Jing stretched out his finger with some surprise, and a terrible destructive force suddenly rose.

"The power of destruction!"

Then there was an endless flow of vigorous vitality, as if winter had passed and spring had arrived, and all things were reviving.

"The power of life!"

The two forces seemed to be entangled since their birth.

The forces belonging to the two poles merge into one in an instant, being both opposite and unified, evolving into infinite mysteries.

"The power of life and death!" Lu Jing was surprised and delighted.

Just like the illusory power of the mind, each avenue also has its corresponding power of the avenue.

The power of Tai Chi, the power of Wuji, the power of time, the power of space, the power of sword, the power of thunder and lightning, etc.

These great Dao forces are more essential forces. Not only do they have extremely powerful might, but if these fundamental forces can be cultivated to a high enough level, then no matter which chaotic world one enters, one will be able to quickly comprehend a large amount of Dao in a short period of time.

These forces are closer to the essence than simple Tao and are the real foundation of the strong.

The Tao will be different in different chaotic worlds, but these essential forces are the same.

Moreover, these most fundamental forces can be combined with each other.

For example, the power of time can be combined with the force of space to form the power of time and space, the power of Wuji can be combined with the power of Tai Chi, and the power of sword can be combined with the power of Wuji.

When the two forces are combined, their strength will also increase.

Although Lu Jing's life force and destructive force are only at the first level now, they can already be perfectly combined. The fighting method created based on this will be even more powerful.

"Let's call it the power of life and death."

Lu Jing could feel that without taking into account his mental strength, at the same level, the power of life and death was much stronger than the power of space and time he already possessed, and even the trace of sword power he had touched.

"The most important thing is that although my willpower is powerful, it can only be unleashed in a short period of time. If I use it to defeat those who are weaker than me, I can naturally win in one or two moves, but if I fight with someone of the same level, it won't work for a long time.

“But the power of life and death, the power of sword, the power of space and other powers are endless and do not require any consumption of divine power or mana.

“When the power of life and death reaches a certain level, one will naturally be able to thoroughly understand and master the Way of Destruction and the Way of Life, and become a Dao Ancestor!”

……

After calming his mind, Lu Jing looked at the Xuanpin Pearl in his hand.

He was preparing to cultivate his second soul.

The second soul needs a carrier, usually a spiritual object from heaven and earth.

The Xuanpin Pearl is the most famous spiritual object in the world related to the second soul. It is also relatively common and suitable for almost all methods of cultivating the second soul.

For the original body, it was not difficult to obtain the Xuanpin Pearl. It was originally prepared for disciples to cultivate the second Yuanshen after breaking through to the Yuanshen Zhenren.

To cultivate the second spirit, the soul must be split into two, which is quite dangerous. If the soul is not strong enough, splitting it into two is tantamount to suicide.

Therefore, one generally has to become a Taoist of the Yuanshen for a long time, or become a Return to the Void Earth Immortal before one can cultivate a second Yuanshen.

Lu Jing is a wandering immortal. Although his soul escaped the heavenly tribulation, normally the injuries of the soul and spirit caused by the heavenly tribulation cannot be recovered. Therefore, the purity of the immortals' energy is closely related to the injuries of the soul.

But right after he crossed over, he activated his original body's power and converted it into Yuanli to repair all the injuries in his body, so there was no problem at all with the separation of his spirit and soul.

Lu Jing began to use the secret technique as he thought about it, and the pain that tore his soul apart surged inwardly.

However, he had split his soul countless times in the Devouring Star Universe and had long been accustomed to this kind of pain.

"point!"

Half of the soul whooshed out of the body as fast as lightning and flew into the Xuanpin Pearl.

For him, the carrier of the second soul does not need to be very strong, and he does not rely on the talents brought by the carrier to comprehend the way of heaven and earth.

After the soul enters the Xuanpin Pearl, the body that is formed is naturally condensed from the essence of Xuanpin.

In the blink of an eye, the realm of Lu Jing's second soul improved rapidly.

He opened up his own space, and the three great visions of stars, bright moon and golden crow all appeared, breaking through to the stage of all things in one go.

Then he stopped his efforts to improve.

"I want to practice the divine and devil body-refining method with my second soul." Lu Jing was in a leisurely mood, "I can't break through to the soul yet."

If one wants to practice both the divine and demonic arts, one needs to separate the spirit and soul into two at the primordial spirit stage, with one integrated into the physical body and the other into the primordial spirit.

The vast majority of immortals will not let their second soul follow the path of gods and demons.

This is because except for a very small number of precious spiritual objects of heaven and earth, the physical bodies formed by the essence of most spiritual objects of heaven and earth are difficult to absorb high-level power of heaven and earth.

We can only rely on the spirit to guide us, but this will be half the result with twice the effort.

The path of gods and demons is much more difficult than the flow of refining qi. You will definitely not go far if you use the second soul to follow the flow of gods and demons.

Although Lu Jing was only at the Return to Void realm, he was unable to break through simply because he was a Loose Immortal.

He has mastered the way of heaven and earth, and has even embarked on the path of comprehending the way of destruction and the way of life. His understanding of the way of heaven and earth is no less than that of the Pure Yang Immortal.

It is extremely easy to use the Tao at the level of a True Immortal to guide and absorb the power of heaven and earth.

Moreover, he also has the energy transformed from the mysterious gate to replenish himself. As long as his understanding of the Tao reaches the standard, he can upgrade violently below the level of a god.

"The question now is which divine and demonic body-refining method to choose..."

Lu Jing's eyes wandered over the dozen or so jade slips in front of him.

Except for the secrets of the Baiji clan like "Baiji Holy Demonic Scripture", ordinary body refining methods of gods and demons are not precious, and the original body naturally has quite a few.

However, practicing both divine and demonic body-refining techniques not only requires extremely high talent, but also consumes twice as many resources and increases the difficulty of practice.

Therefore, most of the immortal cultivators do not practice the divine and demonic body-refining techniques at the same time.

"In terms of the strength of these methods, the most widely spread "Red Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" is naturally the most respected, followed by "White Extreme Holy Demon Scripture", and the other dozen or so divine and demonic body-refining methods are all average."

He obtained the "Bai Ji Sheng Mo Jing" from the Qian Kun Pearl after killing the Immortal Fu Tan.

Lu Jing's gaze passed over the "Red Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" and the "White Extreme Holy Demon Sutra" and fell on an inconspicuous jade slip.

The jade slip contains the "Jiuzang Yi Tie" which is the inheritance of Jiuzang Zhenxian obtained by the original body.

"Nine Treasures of the Past" not only contains many immortal methods, but also a strange method of body refining for gods and demons.

The Immortal Body

"The Immortal Tribulation Body." Lu Jing's eyes flickered. "This divine and demonic body-refining method is simply... simply bizarre. I really don't know which powerful person with a wild imagination created it."

The cultivation method of "Immortal Tribulation Body" is only for those below the level of gods, and the cultivation method is extremely strange.

It is to transform the body based on the formation diagram.

After two years of repeated research, Lu Jing came to only one conclusion.

This "Immortal Body" seems to be taking the path of transforming the body into a puppet!

"I always feel that the formation diagram in this 'Immortal Tribulation Body' is somewhat similar to the core formation diagram of the puppet 'Yuan'e Messenger' recorded in the wordless secret book that my original body obtained from the cave of the great power... Could it be that this 'Immortal Tribulation Body' was also created by that great power?"

The Immortal Tribulation Body is divided into only five levels, which is simple and crude.

The first level is to transform various parts of the body into nine formations, which is equivalent to innate perfection.

The second level consists of eighty-one formation diagrams, corresponding to the Purple Palace realm of Qi Refining.

The third level consists of 729 formation diagrams, corresponding to the realm of all things.

The fourth level is a formation diagram of six thousand five hundred and sixty-one, corresponding to the realm of Yuanshen.

The last level, the fifth level, consists of 180,000 formation diagrams, which are for the gods and demons in the late stage of Return to Void!

After reaching the fifth level, the body is like a hard puppet, comparable to a pure yang magic weapon, and even gods and immortals can hardly harm it.

If he could survive the divine calamity, all the 180,000 formation diagrams on his body would be transformed into independent basic units that could gather or disperse.

Logically speaking, with the incredible power of the "Immortal Tribulation Body", the "Red Bright Nine Heavens Diagram" would be trampled underfoot.

However, the "Immortal Tribulation Body" has a major flaw, which makes this method of combining gods and demons almost a ridiculous joke, and even Lu Jing's original body classifies it as a worthless method.

Each level of cultivation of the Immortal Tribulation Body is a tribulation, which can be said to be a matter of life and death.

Each advancement in level requires the physical body to explode, and the formation diagram for the next level to be reorganized in the instant before the soul dissipates.

Once you fail, you will truly fall.

If there is even the slightest mistake in any of the formation diagrams during the reorganization process, all efforts will be in vain.
