Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan Chapter 2070 1504: Eerie

"The Void as the furnace, Chaos as the flame, myriad Spiritual Objects as medicine, forging the Chaos Dao Embryo!"

This brief sentence is the overarching guide to Li Zhirui's cultivation method for the Divine Demon Dao Body.

As he absorbed a large amount of Spiritual Objects, he was temporarily unable to quickly assimilate these essences, forming a special texture layer around his body, appearing like a thick eggshell from a distance.

This protected the somewhat fragile Li Zhirui during his cultivation, while not hindering his absorption of Chaotic Spiritual Energy, continuously replenishing his energy.

Thump—

Thump—

Thump—

With each breath, the Dao Embryo seemed to become a heart, beating rhythmically. Fortunately, the sound was not loud and couldn't travel far, naturally unable to attract any uninvited guests.

At that moment, Li Zhirui had no extra energy to pay attention to the outside world, as all his mind was immersed in constructing his Chaos God Demon Dao Body.

The foundation of the Dao Body was centered on the Purification Principle, with the Wood Principle and Water Principle as supplements, and unexpectedly, a trace of the Creation Law he had spent much time and effort understanding also blended in.

Thinking it had ended there, he didn't expect a Space Law to suddenly surface within his body, merging seamlessly with him.

In fact, the Space Law had always been present within him; the mysterious, profound Personal Space, and the Five Elements Small Realm he independently developed after cultivating the 'Earth Spirit Tao Record,' were inseparably connected with the Space Law.

He just hadn't mastered the Space Law, so it remained dormant inside him, but now, as he reshaped his foundation, a wisp of Space Law emerged of its own accord.

Five different Laws, with the Purification Principle as the trunk, the Water and Wood Principles as branches, while the Creation Law and Space Law, where Li Zhirui's understanding was shallow, formed smaller twigs, yet could still fuse together.

Besides these, among the various Spiritual Objects he refined, there also existed different Laws, but he used them as nutrients to strengthen himself.

After all, when it comes to Laws, more is not always better. On the contrary, too many can be overly mixed and chaotic, unfavorable to cultivation, like how it is now.

The variety of Laws is limited, and aside from the Space Law, the other four Laws have some relation, such as the Purification Principle, which evolved from the intertwining of the Water and Wood Principles.

Although the Space Law is relatively independent, due to its all-encompassing nature, it does not conflict with the other four Laws.

...

Chaos does not record the years; in a blink, a thousand years have passed!

In a certain place within the Void, the Dao Embryo Li Zhirui refined, after absorbing too much Spiritual Objects and Chaotic Spiritual Energy, had grown larger in size, appearing from a distance like a giant egg a hundred zhang tall, extremely conspicuous.

Fortunately, the secluded place he chose for this retreat was remote, so for many years, no Chaotic Beings passed by, and naturally, no one posed a threat to him, who was unable to retaliate.

Occasionally, Chaotic Storms passed through, but due to the large amount of Chaotic Spiritual Energy contained in the 'eggshell', it merged with the storm, not only unscathed, but even absorbing it.

Inside the Dao Embryo, Li Zhirui was striving for perfection in constructing the Chaos God Demon Dao Body that would accompany him throughout his life.

After a millennium of relentless cultivation, countless Spiritual Objects consumed, and absorbing the vast Chaotic Spiritual Energy, all these factors successfully crafted a nearly perfect Dao Body!

In his 'juvenile phase', his body reached ninety zhang in height, his whole body like jade, spotless and pure, faintly emitting a light lotus fragrance. His eyes were like abysses, dark and deep, with seemingly twinkling starlight, and a twelve-grade Chaos Treasure Lotus was imprinted on his brow, adding an extraordinary charm.

Even though Li Zhirui's current body looked no different from an enlarged human form, this was due to the Innate Daoist Body.

Essentially, he no longer qualifies as part of the human race.

But this level of Chaos God Demon Dao Body was the limit he could achieve, even if Li Zhirui wanted to advance further, The Great Tao would not allow it!

Pursuing perfection blindly would bring about a terrifying Tao Punishment!

Li Zhirui had considered continuing, but whenever this thought arose, his Spirit Sense would flicker wildly, warning him that it was a very dangerous move, with a 99% chance of perishing in the Tao Punishment, turning to dust!

Helplessly, he had no choice but to give up on further perfecting the Dao Body, and instead prepare to 'break the shell' and be born.

Buzz—

As Li Zhirui opened his eyes, intending to 'break out of the shell', the previously calm Void suddenly echoed with a low humming sound.

The sound wasn't loud but traveled very far and could be heard from thousands of miles away.

Chaotic Beings within this range instinctively sensed that an extraordinary life form was soon to be born somewhere, and devouring it would bring great benefits to themselves!

For a time, Chaotic Beings within a thousand miles centered on Li Zhirui went frantic, as if losing all reason, swarming towards his location.

Being the one coveted by numerous Chaotic Beings, Li Zhirui naturally sensed it too.

"Is this... the birth ordeal?!"

It's said that a life form of extraordinary aptitude, upon birth, will be tested with a Heavenly Tribulation.

If one fails the Tribulation Transcendence, naturally, it's dust to dust, returning to the earth, but if successful, it's recognized by Heaven and Earth.

Li Zhirui now faced this situation.

Previously, he hadn't encountered such a trial because his Chaos God Demon Dao Body was not yet perfect; although his aptitude improved, it wasn't enough to invoke Heavenly jealousy.

Yet he achieved perfection in one go, elevating his aptitude to the maximum allowed by The Great Tao, a life form with such heaven-defying aptitude naturally invokes Heaven's rejection, thus, a trial follows.

Li Zhirui's birth ordeal wasn't a Heavenly Tribulation, but man-made calamity!

He could distinctly sense countless malevolent intents from various sources rushing toward him!

Li Zhirui understood he had to accomplish the Dao Embryo before these Chaotic Beings arrived, only then could he fend them off and safeguard his life!

If trapped in the Dao Embryo by then, he'd watch himself being devoured, countless years of cultivation reduced to nothing!

How could Li Zhirui accept such a result?

To prevent this, the best way was to transcend the birth ordeal!

Thus, he began making moves inside the Dao Embryo, striving to 'see the light of day' as soon as possible.

However, due to absorbing so many Spiritual Objects and Chaotic Spiritual Energy, unabsorbed impurities adhered to the surface of the Dao Embryo, gradually forming a hard shell.
