Master Xuan Du identifies two critical hidden dangers in Luo Chen: a defective Life Soul hindering Primordial Spirit formation and a mismatched, overly miscellaneous physique despite its power. He offers a Buddhist spell to forcibly gather the Primordial Spirit as a temporary fix and the renowned Three Heads and Six Arms divine power to harmonize Luo Chen's body refinement paths without sacrifice. Luo Chen grows deeply tempted by these solutions, noting Qingshuang's silent interest.

Even at this instant, Luo Chen hadn't fully resolved his decision.

"Both of us bear severe wounds right now; even armed with these doctrines, we can't muster fighting strength anytime soon. I'm afraid our assistance to you will be limited, Master!"

Xuan Du waved it off casually. "Handling this is straightforward!"

Luo Chen felt somewhat startled. The wounds afflicting him and Qing Shuang, despite aid from Spirit Land and wondrous pills, demanded at least a few years for complete healing.

However, the other's statement portrayed it as the easiest task imaginable.

Given that, what grounds existed for rejection?

Amid his hesitation, Luo Chen abruptly inquired, "You spoke earlier of Master Hui Ping hailing from Zen Sect, Mahakala from Pure Sect, and Hanging Temple proclaiming itself the foremost Buddhist Sect. Might I ask which sect claims you, Master?"

Xuan Du formed a Buddhist salute with clasped hands and replied, "This poor monk follows Mahayana Buddhism, devoted to the Moonlight Glaze Bodhisattva."

...

Vast stretched the Glazed Pure Land.

Three spots stood out prominently.

Buddhist Temple, Bamboo Sea, Pagoda Forest.

Right then, Luo Chen stood amid the boundless, tiered white pagodas of the forest.

"Mortals linger in the ocean of woe, much like denizens of hell. Though Glazed Pure Land lacks the Eighteen Hells, it features eight cold and eight hot hells. For Benefactor seeking swift command of the Three Heads and Six Arms method, the Eight Cold Hells offers the quickest path."

A serene, melodic voice echoed from the distance. As lights streamed by, the surrounding white pagodas started to quiver.

Positioned in the midst, Luo Chen showed no astonishment.

He along with Qing Shuang had forged a pact with Master Xuan Du.

In exchange for lavish compensations, they pledged to fend off invaders for Master Xuan Du and support his advance to God Transformation Realm.

Yet the foes from outside hadn't shown up, granting them plenty of time still.

Seizing this interval, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang set about healing while testing the doctrines from Master Xuan Du to check if they could purge their bodily perils.

One had to admit, the white-robed monk proved exceedingly bountiful.

Beyond furnishing the doctrines, he supplied a fitting training ground too.

This Eight Cold Hells created the ideal setting for Luo Chen to swiftly grasp the Three Heads and Six Arms method!

With the white pagodas shaking, frigid vapors surged from below, transforming the area in moments into a realm of raging blizzards and icy barriers.

Extreme chill's might kept building relentlessly.

Luo Chen, still unrested in spirit, eyed the surroundings while musing over Master Xuan Du's maneuvers.

"Through probes from me and Qing Shuang, he's clearly formed his Primordial Spirit and holds the Great Vajra Physique, foundations unshakeably firm."

"Yet lacking a Fifth Order Spirit Vein, how does he achieve God Transformation Realm breakthrough?"

"Earlier scans via Red Eyes Golden Pupils revealed Glazed Pure Land drawing in spirit mechanism from beyond. Perhaps the breakthrough secret lies in spirit mechanism over standard Spirit Qi? Does this spatial treasure, Glazed Pure Land, substitute for a Fifth Order Spirit Vein by devouring vast spirit mechanism to fuel his ascension?"

Luo Chen's conjecture rang true, edging remarkably near the facts.

Yet this spotlighted the glaring issue.

For Glazed Pure Land to draw external spirit mechanism, sealing its portal proved impossible.

Amid such exposure, Hanging Temple monks' arrival loomed inevitable.

"Unclear how much time remains for me and Qing Shuang either."

He shook his head, banishing stray notions, then settled cross-legged upon the earth as two objects materialized in his grasp.

One jade slip alongside a strand of Buddha beads.

The jade slip held the Three Heads and Six Arms method's records, whereas Buddha beads served for the Buddhist incantation to forge Primordial Spirit.

Among them, what stirred Luo Chen deepest was the "Moonlight Purifying Heart Spell", empowering Primordial Spirit condensation despite Life Soul's shortfall.

Yet upon reflection, he curbed that urge.

Such a spell patched temporarily, not curing root causes; short-term grasp yielded scant benefit.

Far superior was the Three Heads and Six Arms divine power for forging a golden body!

"I too wonder if Xuan Du's divine power lives up to his claims, merging my disparate doctrines and consolidating every force!"

Ignoring the mounting frost beyond, Luo Chen delved intently into the jade slip.

Remarkably, after merely half a day, he'd etched it wholly into memory.

Recitation complete, yet nothing more.

Buddhist jargon crammed the jade slip, convoluted and obtuse to an extreme degree.

Evidently, even Master Xuan Du hadn't anticipated Luo Chen mastering the method rapidly, merely desiring his swift recovery amid Eight Cold Hells.

But who was Luo Chen?

He wielded a cheat!

Divine Capability Art at Fifth-Order.

Beginner mastery cost just a hundred Achievement Points!

Luo Chen eyed his seldom-viewed Attribute Panel, intent stirring as he deftly allocated Achievement Points to the "Three Heads and Six Arms" divine power.

Instantly, radiance flashed.

Newly inscribed in Body Technique stood out boldly.

[Three Heads and Six Arms Beginner 1/100 (Divine Power)]

True enough, this body technique ranked as Divine Power.

Distinct from instant-insight Withering and Flourishing Dao Finger, Three Heads and Six Arms demanded proficiency buildup.

Plainly, a divine power honed via persistent training and body tempering.

Such divine powers boasted lower entry barriers, though capped potential.

Luo Chen shrugged it off; solving his woes and boosting power sufficed.

Early on, he'd tamed Class Demon Change; Buddhist Divine Power posed no greater challenge.

Post-System's forced initiation, Luo Chen sensed subtle shifts inside.

Origin Force coursed river-like through him still.

Yet Qi-Blood surged vigorously, Mixed Poison permeated widely, Qi Power strands wove intricately, mutually checking and harmonizing.

Previously, Luo Chen chased total fusion, funneling every force to unity.

Now evidently, premature merging bound him; separation and classification proved freer.

Then external cold surges battered inward.

Instinctively, his body rallied mighty Qi Power against the invading chill.

Eight Cold Hells comprised eight realms: Boils, Clenched Teeth, Cracks Like Blue Lotus Flowers, and kin.

Therein, flesh endured harsh ordeals, demanding distinct forces for countermeasures.

Such instinctive counters aided in classifying Luo Chen's inner forces, then via Three Heads and Six Arms, directing them to varied heads.

Qi Power, Luo Chen's prime might, activated foremost.

Followed Origin Force, raw Qi-Blood, Mixed Poison, Evil Qi, Pill Qi...

Beholding the densely packed Evil Qi and Pill Qi stunned Luo Chen.

Post-cultivation milestone, he'd wielded Finalization Cleaning Technique and Slaying Dragon Technique to purge alien essences.

Astonishingly, pristine Evil Qi and Pill Qi lingered profoundly concealed.

"Uncovering them proves a boon."

Luo Chen whispered, pressing his frame to extremes, expelling further vestiges.

Time elapsed until a jet-black aura seeped from his limb, freezing Luo Chen briefly.

Demonic Qi within him?

Swift realization dawned: likely from Yuan Tu Sword!

Unforeseen that daily nurturing of Yuan Tu Sword, seemingly shaped by him, reciprocated influence ceaselessly.

"Small wonder Xuan Du spotted my manifold paths instantly; such volatile powers crammed inside resemble a powder keg. Only my potent Qi Power and Origin Force contain them all."

Muttering softly, Luo Chen persisted in probing his body's depths.

Confirming no surplus forces remained, Luo Chen launched rigorous "Three Heads and Six Arms" drills to segregate and wield the diverse energies.

Within Glazed Buddha Temple.

As Luo Chen embarked on "Three Heads and Six Arms", Master Xuan Du abruptly unclosed his eyes.

"Already?"

He'd gauged Luo Chen's eclectic paths, presuming exceptional talent for myriad arts.

Never dreaming his aptitude reached such heights.

Mere days, and he'd seized the Body Refining Divine Power.

Even in Hanging Temple, scant few cultivated this divine power.

Low threshold, yes—but predicated on sturdy physique few attained.

Xuan Du sharpened his focus on Luo Chen.

Eight Cold Hells feedback mounted, fueling his mounting shock.

Ancient Desolate Beast ferocity, hyper-condensed Evil Qi, subtle Demonic Qi traces...

"What slaughters forged Luo Chen's horrifying Evil Qi!"

"He commands a Demon Treasure too!"

"Uncertain if spurring his 'Three Heads and Six Arms' cultivation proves blessing or curse—may it not birth a great demon from a wayward monk."

"Pray he heeds 'Moonlight Purifying Heart Spell', guards his Dao Heart, shunning the demonic path."

Whispering inwardly, Xuan Du shifted gaze from Luo Chen's practice and Qing Shuang in Glazed Jade Purification Bottle.

For days trickled on until, beyond Glazed Pure Land, storm clouds massed.

It had come!
