The Path to Immortality

At the beginning, the gold and silver colors only existed in a small part of the body around the heart. But soon, this change spread along the blood and meridians, gradually spreading all over the body.

Gold Blood Jade Marrow!

This is the most iconic feature of a cultivator who has achieved the Golden Core Realm through the way of body refining!

As the body sublimated, the nearby heaven and earth spiritual energy poured back crazily, and along with the changes in the gold blood jade marrow, it was continuously refined by Fang Ping, further strengthening his physique.

Above the Yuanyang Boat, the spiritual energy within a radius of thousands of feet was almost attracted into a huge vortex.

Even the restrictions on the nearby flying boats were affected to varying degrees and flickered chaotically.

Such an exaggerated scene immediately alarmed most of the cultivators in the Xianzhou Market.

"Look, there is a strange phenomenon!"

"Yuanyang Boat? Level 3 cave? Is it which Jindan senior?"

"Stupid, this is clearly the abnormal phenomenon of the foundation-building cultivator being promoted to Jindan!"

"Is another cultivator about to achieve Jindan?"

"Such an exaggerated abnormal phenomenon, the predecessor who is trying to achieve Jindan, the foundation is so strong that it is beyond imagination!"

For a moment, countless cultivators looked at Yuanyang Boat with surprise and envy.

Even some Jindan casual cultivators living in the market and Jindan ancestors of the Six Phases Alliance were alarmed by such a big movement and cast their eyes to pay attention.

In a flash, half a day passed!

Immersed in the state of forgetting both the self and the world, Fang Ping's blood and physique are still improving rapidly!

Finally, as the gold and silver colors spread throughout Fang Ping's body, the Five Elements Body Forging Method finally broke through the fourth level and entered an unprecedented new realm.

Comparable to the fifth level of the Jindan realm!

The killing of Gengjin Qi, the green light of lush vitality, the silent drizzle, the blazing and violent flames, the thick soil that carries all things, the five-level visions, reflected each other and reflected in the entire cave.

If there was no formation to stop the vision steadily, it would have spread throughout the entire Xianzhou market.

But it was also when the Five Elements Body Forging Method entered the fifth level that Fang Ping felt a strong sense of palpitations in his heart.

Dan Jie Tianjie!

The boundless terror with the crisis of annihilation made Fang Ping break away from the joy and immersion of his rapid strength improvement.

He suddenly realized that due to the special nature of the Five Elements Body Forging Method, his physical cultivation progress surpassed that of the magic cultivation. His strength has reached a critical point, and he must make a choice immediately.

Is it to follow the path of physical cultivation to become a Tao, or to follow the path of magic cultivation to break the pill to become an infant!

In this Fang Xiuxian world, these are two completely different paths. Although the starting point is the same and the end point is the same, there is a world of difference in the middle.

Before the Jindan realm, the physical cultivation and the magic cultivation only have different focuses and no essential difference.

But starting from the key realm of Jindan, two parallel roads will be truly extended, and they will not overlap until the end, and one must choose one of them.

Choosing physical cultivation means that the mana that should have been condensed into a golden elixir will be used to temper the body.

It can be said that the golden elixir of physical cultivation is one's own physical body.

From then on, there will be no return on the path of physical cultivation.

Choosing magic cultivation is the traditional way of forging the golden elixir in the Dao Ding and breaking the elixir into an infant in the Yuanying realm.

Compared with magic cultivation, physical cultivation has many advantages.

The golden elixir of physical cultivation is the most solid body of oneself. Unless it is completely killed, there is no fear of damage to the golden elixir, and the physical body is extremely strong and difficult to kill.

But the disadvantages are also extremely obvious, that is, there is a lack of all kinds of changes in magic cultivation, and the resources consumed by physical cultivation are too many.

Before the Jindan stage, since the resources consumed by low-level cultivators are limited, even if the physical cultivators consume five or ten times more than ordinary cultivators, the total amount is still limited.

As long as the cultivator has outstanding strength and background, or has a skill such as cultivating immortal arts, he can still maintain his cultivation.

But starting from the Jindan stage, the higher the level of resources consumed, the more terrifying it is.

This world can only bear the possibility of achieving the transformation of the spirit or even higher realms through the way of body refining in the ancient times 100,000 years ago when the spiritual energy was extremely abundant.

Nowadays, the way of body refining has long been in decline, and the physical cultivators of the Jindan stage can still be seen occasionally. From the Jindan stage upwards, the road will only become narrower and narrower!

"So, should I go for the way of law cultivation or the physical cultivation?"

He had considered it again and again a long time ago. But when the time came, he couldn't help but hesitate again.

After all, there is no regret after the formation of the elixir!

In this realm, once a choice is made, it is difficult to regret it, and it directly affects everything in the future!

Fang Ping could feel that with the strong foundation he had laid, if he chose the path of physical cultivation, he might not need to [form a golden elixir]. He only needed to continue to promote the operation of the Five Elements Body Forging Method, and he could follow the trend and reach the real golden elixir realm in one go.

Next, as long as he could survive the minor heavenly tribulation, he could immediately achieve the real golden elixir. From then on, he could enjoy a lifespan of 500 years!

By the way, he could also achieve the feat of breaking through the golden elixir before his lifespan exceeded 100 years.

Naturally, he would not need to go to this dangerous Tiancan Island again.

But the problem was...

"The path of physical cultivation is too difficult!"

Even with Fang Ping's financial resources, he could not help but feel afraid when thinking of the resources needed in the future of the golden elixir realm.

If it is said that relying on the attainments of the alchemy, outstanding strength and opportunity, it is still possible to think of a way to go from the golden elixir to the primordial infant. Then, after breaking through to the primordial infant or even the spirit transformation through the body refining method, it is a real dead end in this world.

This is no longer a question of whether or not one has enough ability, but the resources of this world are limited. Unless one is determined to make the whole world an enemy and rob the major immortal gates in order to achieve enlightenment, it will be really difficult to get through.

And Fang Ping obviously didn't want to make it difficult for himself.

"If you only covet the current comfort, even if you break through the golden elixir immediately, you can only enjoy it for a few hundred years. I am determined to live forever. If I want to pursue the Nascent Soul and the God, it is a higher realm. I can only take the path of law cultivation. There is no other choice!"

Even if this means that he will be promoted to the golden elixir twenty years later! Even if this means that he still has to go to Tiancan Island next!

After understanding what he was thinking, Fang Ping no longer hesitated.

As his mind moved, the Five Elements Body Forging Method, which was still running at a high speed, was interrupted by him.

The process of half a foot into the formation of the elixir came to an abrupt end.

Almost at the same time, the threat of the small heavenly tribulation in the dark also quickly dissipated and no longer existed.

However, in this way, the physical body and physique that were originally constantly improving also stopped, and only stabilized at a level comparable to the initial entry into the Golden Core Realm.

Although it was a pity, Fang Ping, who made the decision, was not disappointed.

Moreover, despite actively stopping this improvement, his strength still improved greatly.

Specifically, although he did not experience the minor heavenly tribulation, his essence was still in the foundation building stage, and his life span was still more than 200 years, but he already had a physical combat power comparable to the Golden Core Realm!

For the next trip to Tiancan Island, this great realm of combat power improvement is undoubtedly of decisive significance.
