I Arrived At Wizard World While Cultivating Immortality Chapter 617: 《Ultra True Body Sutra》

Chapter 617: 《Ultra True Body Sutra》

After completing the third refinement of the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror, Jie Ming did not rush to leave seclusion.

He sat cross-legged in the center of the smelting chamber, feeling the magnificent colorful light slowly circulating from the small round mirror in his dantian, and began planning the next step in his mind.

Advancing to the Void Refinement Realm.

After more than a thousand years of accumulation and nearly a thousand years of preparation, the time had finally come to put it all into action.

Jie Ming sank his consciousness into the Great Dao Book Pavilion and retrieved all the classics related to the Void Refinement Realm, beginning a systematic review.

The essence of the Void Refinement Realm was actually quite simple.

As long as the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit met the standard and one cultivated a specific technique, one could enter a special state.

In this state, the cultivator’s life form would begin to change.

Therefore, in the earliest times, cultivating the Void Refinement Realm would not actually increase combat power. In a sense, it might even reduce it.

After all, while one’s body was being dismantled and reassembled, it would be strange if one could still display their original strength.

Of course, after development and optimization by countless generations of cultivators, some existing Void Refinement Realm cultivation methods could now greatly enhance combat power while the transformation took place.

But the fundamental characteristics of the Void Refinement Realm remained. The dangers that should exist were still there.

The greatest danger was the heart demon.

Jie Ming turned a page of the ancient text, his gaze landing on the three words “Heart Demon Tribulation.”

In the cultivation system, what cultivators had always pursued was “returning to unity.”

The three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit needed to return to unity. Scattered thoughts and distractions needed to return to unity. Even the flow of energy within the body needed to return to unity.

The purer the state of unity, the more stable one’s cultivation and the closer one drew to the Dao.

Yet the Void Refinement Realm went against this entirely.

To change the life form, a cultivator had to deliberately break this state of unity, allowing the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit to disperse once more and letting scattered thoughts and distractions become active again.

It was like a calm lake into which one deliberately threw stones, stirring up a thousand ripples.

Under normal circumstances, cultivators would also encounter heart demons. However, unless there was a major stimulus, the probability of their appearance was very low, and their destructive power was limited.

But in the state of the Void Refinement Realm, a cultivator’s distractions and thoughts were already prone to spreading. Coupled with the dispersion of the three treasures leaving the body’s defenses hollow, external emotions and wills could easily take advantage and invade.

Both the probability of heart demons being born and their destructive power would increase dramatically.

Especially at the instant when the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit were dispersed. At that moment, the body’s state changed violently, defenses were at their weakest, and it was easiest to attract heart demons.

Cultivators called this moment the “Heart Demon Tribulation.”

Jie Ming closed the ancient text. He did not care much about this.

Heart Demon Tribulation?

He had the Incense Fire Divine Dao and the faith network formed by the beliefs of ten billion believers. Any external emotion or will that wanted to invade his spiritual sea would first have to pass through the Incense Fire Divine Dao.

Those chaotic and twisted thoughts would be lucky to survive the filtering of the Incense Fire Divine Dao.

He also had the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror.

As his life-bound treasure that specialized in spirituality, the small round mirror after its third refinement had greatly increased its spirituality. Although it did not possess any special protective abilities, relying on its abundant spirituality and the characteristics of a life-bound treasure, it still provided a considerable degree of protection to the mind.

With these two layers of protection, if he still could not pass the Heart Demon Tribulation, then few people in the cultivation world would be able to.

Still, the necessary preparations had to be made.

Jie Ming opened the magic network terminal and searched the Star Ring Federation’s trading platform. He placed an order for a batch of potions capable of purifying the soul.

High-grade, low-grade, oral, immersion—he bought various types to ensure there would be no oversights.

On the other hand, the cultivation of the Void Refinement Realm was essentially a transformative surgery on the life form.

During the surgery, one needed to continuously consume pills that coordinated with the technique to maintain the stability and efficiency of the transformation process.

Most of the formulas for these pills came from the cultivation world, and the materials might not be found in the wizard world.

But Jie Ming had confidence in his potionology. He was confident he could develop potions with similar effects.

Wasn’t it simply using wizard methods to achieve the goals of cultivation?

He had been doing exactly that for many years.

Material preparations were manageable. What truly troubled Jie Ming was the choice of technique.

The cultivation techniques for the Void Refinement Realm were essentially different routes of life transformation.

Some emphasized the physical body, some the primordial spirit, some the energy core, or a balanced approach without any particular emphasis.

Every route had its advantages and disadvantages. Choosing which one directly determined the development direction of the Void Refinement Realm and even the Dao Integration Realm.

Jie Ming sat before the Great Dao Book Pavilion for a long time. Two rows of ancient texts floated before him.

He had long decided that for the special technique required to advance to the Void Refinement Realm, he would choose a dharma body type technique.

Dharma body type techniques had two main advantages: first, they could greatly increase combat power; second, as long as resources were sufficiently supplied, the cultivation speed would be very fast, allowing one to pass through the Void Refinement Realm more quickly.

But the current issue was that dharma bodies also came in different types.

The row on the left consisted of life-bound dharma bodies.

After cultivation, the technique would automatically generate a dharma body highly compatible with the cultivator based on their own various characteristics.

The advantage was the highest compatibility rate with oneself, making cultivation the smoothest with almost no rejection reactions.

The disadvantage was that the upper and lower limits were uncertain.

If the generated dharma body was strong, it was strong; if weak, it was weak—it all depended on luck.

According to the information provided by the Great Dao Book Pavilion, the combat power of a life-bound dharma body had a certain correlation with one’s own combat power.

However, there was no shortage of unlucky individuals whose own combat power was formidable but whose life-bound dharma body was quite weak.

The row on the right consisted of fixed dharma bodies.

After cultivation, one would obtain a preset, fixed dharma body form.

Most of these dharma bodies were products passed down through generations by major sects and great clans. After countless generations of carving and modification, they had approached perfection.

The disadvantage of this type of dharma body was that it was difficult for the cultivator to fully display its power. The compatibility rate was usually only sixty to seventy percent.

But the advantage was—strength!

Even if one could only display seventy percent of its power, its intensity still far surpassed most life-bound dharma bodies.

Jie Ming looked at the two rows of ancient texts, his expression shifting.

Choosing a life-bound dharma body meant the upper and lower limits were uncertain—it was a gamble.

Choosing a fixed dharma body guaranteed a lower limit, but the upper limit was sealed.

He struggled for a long time.

In the end, Jie Ming reached out and picked up one from the left row.

He had also figured it out. He was not actually lacking in combat power.

With the supplementation of the wizard system, he already had plenty of trump cards: Light God Transformation, Annihilation Form, Great Radiance Formation, and the black giant legion.

Even if the Void Refinement Realm dharma body was a bit weak, he had ways to compensate using wizard methods.

Moreover, given his situation, compatibility was more important.

After all, he was not in the cultivation world. He had no sect protection and no seniors to guide him.

If he chose a fixed dharma body and something went wrong, there would be no one to ask.

Choosing a life-bound dharma body at least would not lead to major mistakes.

Jie Ming opened the ancient text in his hand. On the cover were six simple and ancient large characters: 《Ultra True Body Sutra》.

He quickly browsed through it and nodded in satisfaction.

The overall quality of this technique was only average among life-bound dharma body types, but it had one greatest advantage: it required the fewest pills during daily cultivation.

Other dharma body techniques required a minor pill every three days and a major pill every five days. Just refining pills could exhaust a person to death.

《Ultra True Body Sutra》, however, emphasized “ “I” phase is self-sufficient and does not rely on external seeking.” It took the self as the foundation, with external objects serving only as supplements.

This meant he could devote more energy to cultivation itself rather than being tormented by how to modify pills.

“You’ll do.”

Jie Ming closed the ancient text, retrieved it from the Great Dao Book Pavilion, and transformed it into a streak of flowing light that sank between his brows.

He stood up and walked out of the smelting chamber.

Outside, the gray-red sky of the Infernal Sulfur Plane remained the same as always.

In the distance, the black giants were still busy. The construction of the new incubation pools was nearing completion.

Jie Ming took a deep breath, feeling the flow of beliefs from the ten billion believers within the Incense Fire Divine Dao and the continuously increasing spiritual power inside his body. His gaze grew resolute.

Next, it was time for seclusion.
