Chapter 109: Dragon King Body Refinement, Great Sun True Heaven’s Might
In the end, Mu Yuan was someone who sought completeness. In his heart, he always felt that only by obtaining the complete cultivation method of the Five Elements Path to form a Golden Core would truly satisfy him!
Speaking of which, he was extremely lucky. First, he obtained the heart formula of Tidal Flow. Later, by chance, he met Xiao Tianyu and acquired the Forge Furnace Art. Now, weighing the Great Sun Divine Fire Art in his hand, Mu Yuan thought carefully but still could not make a decision!
Back then, the method for Elixir Formation left by Shui Jingzi included ways to substitute with other heart formulas. Moreover, the Great Sun Divine Fire Art was a genuine fire element heart formula, and its power was not lower, but perhaps even higher than the Nirvana Art.
“Forget it, one’s luck can’t always be that good. I originally came for the Southern Bright Leaving Fire heart formula and the Nirvana Art, but I happened to encounter the Great Sun Divine Fire Art. It seems it’s destined by heaven, so there’s no need to bother searching for other methods!”
Having made up his mind, Mu Yuan was in no hurry to leave the Southern Barbarian Mountains. He found a mountain hollow, used his flying sword to carve out a stone chamber, and began cultivating the Great Sun Divine Fire Art!
Initially, Mu Yuan thought cultivating the Great Sun Divine Fire Art would be straightforward. When he cultivated the Forge Furnace Art before, it only took him half a month to reach the third layer. He assumed the Great Sun Divine Fire Art wouldn’t be too difficult either. However, once he started cultivating, he encountered numerous obstacles. Just the first layer alone took him half a month!
Originally, after cultivating the Longevity Art, all his meridians were already unblocked. Cultivating other spells in the future would only require warming them throughout his body and opening a few hidden meridians that matched the heart formula. He never expected the Great Sun Divine Fire Art to be so hard to cultivate!
Naturally, he didn’t know that the heart formulas of the Five Elements Path resonated with each other, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort. But the Great Sun Divine Fire Art was the most domineering fire element heart formula under heaven, cultivating the essence of the sun, the Divine Fire of the Crimson Sun. Whether it was the Southern Bright Leaving Fire or the Nirvana True Fire, they were far inferior to this heart formula. Moreover, it had no connection to the Five Elements Path, making it naturally difficult to cultivate!
And so it went until, after spending half a year, Mu Yuan finally reached the third layer Dharma Body perfection of the Great Sun Divine Fire Art. The next step was to use its heart formula to refine Heaven’s Might. After such secluded cultivation, when Mu Yuan awoke, his body was covered in a thick layer of dust. He immediately shook his body, using Tide True Qi to wash over himself, restoring clarity!
By now, within his Dantian, there was an additional dazzling, fiery True Fire Qi. It was merged by the Forge Furnace Art into the various Zhenqi types, but it did not merge with the Seed True Water of the furnace. Instead, it ascended above the thick clouds formed by the Dragon King’s Dynamic Force, transforming into a radiant red sun, shining brightly!
Inside the red sun, a massive Three-legged Golden Crow, covered in black feathers with crimson red eyes like pearls, exuded an overbearing aura that disdained all living beings and looked down upon the three realms. This fiery Zhenqi continuously tangled and fought with the purple lightning dark clouds derived from the Dragon King’s Dynamic Force in the sky, causing Mu Yuan’s Dantian to occasionally light up with various brilliant lights, wildly venting. Later, it even directly materialized a Three-legged Golden Crow and a Nine-clawed Purple Dragon endlessly contending for the sky, leaving Mu Yuan helpless!
Each collision of the two Zhenqi types caused Mu Yuan’s whole body to tremble uncontrollably. That purple-red bright light would frequently erupt. Mu Yuan hardened his heart and slowly dispersed the Dragon King’s Dynamic Force within his Dantian!
The Dragon King’s Dynamic Force was originally a body refinement method, ultimately cultivating the Nine-clawed Purple Dragon True Body. But Mu Yuan used a Daoist heart formula to cultivate it, forming a mass of Zhenqi in his Dantian. Now, seeing the Great Sun Divine Fire Force and the Dragon King’s Dynamic Force constantly fighting, Mu Yuan immediately decided to spread the Dragon King’s Dynamic Force throughout his entire body, storing its Zhenqi within his bones and blood vessels!
The Demonic Path’s body refinement heart formulas were originally supreme methods for tempering the physical body. In the end, every part of the body became a weapon for attack. The Demonic Path believed that the Daoist Sect’s cultivation of various magical artifacts and flying swords could not compare to the human body as the ultimate magical treasure. Although the Daoist Sect’s third layer also involved tempering the physical body to form a Dharma Body, it was vastly inferior to the Demonic Path’s methods!
Carefully, he drew out the Dragon King’s Dynamic Force from his Dantian, spreading it along the twelve primary meridians, gradually washing his blood vessels and tempering his bones. The originally condensed Dharma Body’s Refining Furnace True Qi, Longevity True Qi, Tide True Qi, and Great Sun Divine Fire Qi were all expelled and swept away by the Dragon King’s Dynamic Force, all being forced back into his Dantian!
The bones infused with the Dragon King’s Dynamic Force, after repeated tempering by the purple lightning, became increasingly solid and dense, eventually revealing a pure white, frost-like color!
As the Dragon King’s Dynamic Force seeped into his blood vessels, Mu Yuan felt every drop of blood flowing with such clarity and visibility. It seemed that with a single thought, he could control every part of his body. His five viscera, skin, even his hair and nails were all tempered by the Dragon King’s Dynamic Force. This process took a full half year!
After spending half a year, Mu Yuan finally fully spread the Dragon King’s Dynamic Force throughout his entire body. His five viscera were like steel, his bone marrow like frost. His eyes sparkled with divine light, but if one looked closely, it was like gazing into the distant starry sky, giving a sense of ancient profundity!
The domineering nature of the Demonic Path and the leisurely elegance of the Daoist Sect were completely presented in his pair of eyes!
Mu Yuan swung his hands, and his seemingly smooth nails directly pierced through the surrounding stone walls. His long hair swayed, and with a slight thought, it became like tempered steel wires or resilient silk, leaving deep grooves in the stone walls!
“What a powerful body! The Demonic Path is truly formidable. Every movement, every part of the body, hair and skin, all are sharp weapons for breaking through defenses!” With this powerful body cultivated through the Dragon King’s Dynamic Force, Mu Yuan was confident that even the Green Wood Thunderblade could not harm him!
“Since ancient times, there have been many who cultivated both Dao and Demonic methods. The Buddhist Sect’s Golden Body Buddha Relic is like this. Many rogue cultivators also follow the dual cultivation path. Only today did I understand why. It turns out that a powerful physical body combined with Daoist spells indeed yields great power!” Mu Yuan strode out of the stone chamber. Seeing the bright sun hanging high, the wind light and the clouds faint, he let out a hearty laugh. Suddenly, he leaped into the air, the Minghe Immortal Sword appearing beneath his feet, supporting him. He directly pierced through the Heaven’s Might Atmosphere, operating the Great Sun Divine Fire Art, and began searching for the True Solar Heaven’s Might within the various layers of Heaven’s Might Qi!
Originally, if Mu Yuan didn’t aim for Five Elements Elixir Formation, he wouldn’t need to cultivate the Great Sun Divine Fire Art from scratch. He could directly employ its Heaven’s Might refining formula to refine the Heaven’s Might Qi. But for Five Elements Elixir Formation, it was necessary to generate Five Elements True Qi within the Dantian. Only after refining both Heaven’s Might and Evil Energy Qi, making them unified and whole, could he condense his Qi into a Golden Core!
The Southern Barbarian Mountains were located in the southwest, precisely where sunlight shone most intensely. Within the chaotic Heaven’s Might Atmosphere, the True Solar Heaven’s Might was also most abundant. Mu Yuan stood firmly on the Minghe Immortal Sword and used the Primordial Five-Colored Mirage Light to protect himself, avoiding the fierce Heaven’s Might winds. Originally, after his body was tempered by the Dragon King’s Dynamic Force, even these Heaven’s Might winds could not harm him. But just in case, Mu Yuan still employed the Primordial Five-Colored Mirage Light to resist the Heaven’s Might winds!
In the Great Sun Divine Fire Art, the monk Zhishan once mentioned in the Heaven’s Might Refining layer that among the mixed and chaotic Heaven’s Might Atmosphere, the True Solar Heaven’s Might formed by the illumination of the sun star was most suitable for the Great Sun Divine Fire Art. And this Southern Wildlands region, with its intense sunlight, had the thickest concentration of True Solar Heaven’s Might, making it perfect for Mu Yuan to refine Heaven’s Might here!
Steadily standing on the Minghe Immortal Sword, the surrounding chaotic Heaven’s Might Atmosphere was stirred and churned by the heavenly winds, like dragons and snakes writhing. Mu Yuan’s vision was sharp, his divine light shining out, immediately distinguishing the fiery, sun-like dazzling brilliance of the True Solar Heaven’s Might from the multi-colored Heaven’s Might Atmosphere!
Silently reciting the Heaven’s Might refining formula of the Great Sun Divine Fire Art, the Zhenqi within his body fluctuated. He simply reached out slightly, using his Zhenqi to materialize the Primordial Qi Grasping Hand, and grabbed this strand of fiery Heaven’s Might Qi!
Capturing the True Solar Heaven’s Might in this manner could not utilize the Primordial Qi Grasping Hand that Mu Yuan himself had cultivated; it could only be materialized using Zhenqi. As soon as that strand of True Solar Heaven’s Might entered his hand, it immediately sensed the abundant Longevity True Qi within Mu Yuan’s body. It crackled and moved rapidly, and then, fanned by the Mystic Wind Yin Fiend, it instantly spread throughout Mu Yuan’s entire body. All his Zhenqi turned into a fiery, blazing red color!
As Mu Yuan absorbed the True Solar Heaven’s Might, the surrounding Heaven’s Might Qi became even more turbulent, darting about like dragons and snakes, with multicolored lights flashing chaotically. Fortunately, the Primordial Five-Colored Mirage Light around Mu Yuan was extremely flexible and resilient, completely undisturbed.
After absorbing a strand of True Solar Heaven’s Might, Mu Yuan felt as if all the Longevity True Qi within his body was ignited in an instant, like a spark falling into boiling oil, burning up with a whoosh, all pouring into that red sun within his Dantian!
The Mystic Wind Yin Fiend had originally merged into Mu Yuan’s Longevity True Qi. Now, mixing with the True Solar Heaven’s Might, the wind fanned the flames, seemingly about to burn throughout his entire body. The combination of the cyan Evil Energy and the fiery Heaven’s Might Qi, swirling around like a whirlwind, made Mu Yuan feel a burning heat all over!
Imperceptibly, the Wood Element gave rise to Fire. Using this to refine Fire Heaven’s Might was originally extraordinary in power. Moreover, Mu Yuan’s condensed Evil Energy was of a wind nature. Driven further by the Great Sun Divine Fire Art, the combined Heaven’s Might and Evil Energy Qi condensed into a single strand, directly shooting out from Mu Yuan’s fingertips. It searched for and captured True Solar Heaven’s Might within the vast Heaven’s Might Qi. Once discovered, it was immediately devoured into Mu Yuan’s body!
It wasn’t just Mu Yuan who was refining Heaven’s Might. Both the Longevity Patriarch and the Mountain Elf had also reached Condensing Evil Energy perfection. The Longevity Patriarch, like Mu Yuan, had condensed the Mystic Wind Yin Fiend at Round Pot Mountain. The Mountain Elf had condensed the Yin Cold Ice Evils at Fengbie Palace. Before ascending, Mu Yuan had released both of them, allowing them to refine their respective Heaven’s Might Qi!
The Longevity Patriarch himself was refining Wood Mansion Heaven’s Might Qi, while the Mountain Elf was refining Ice Soul Heaven’s Might. These matched their own natures perfectly. One was an Immortal Tree spirit, and the other was the essence of mountains and rivers. They were not only naturally endowed but also had deep foundations. Refining Heaven’s Might was not troublesome for them; on the contrary, it was much easier and faster than for Mu Yuan!
After absorbing a portion of the True Solar Heaven’s Might, Mu Yuan felt the Zhenqi within his body had transformed into highly condensed, snake-like true forces shooting out. They moved through the vast Heaven’s Might Qi like swimming dragons and snakes, not dispersing even after a hundred miles, countless times more condensed than his original Zhenqi!
“Originally, my Zhenqi could only extend three to five miles at most. Now it can reach beyond a hundred miles! In the future, when wielding a flying sword, it will likewise improve. Without moving myself, I can transform Sword Qi into a rainbow, striking enemies a thousand miles away!”
Seeing that his own Zhenqi, mixed with Wind Evil and Fire Heaven’s Might, extended straight out for several hundred miles without dissipating, Mu Yuan was overjoyed. He then materialized hundreds of Primordial Qi Grasping Hands, capturing the True Solar Heaven’s Might even more rapidly. Later, Mu Yuan himself seemed to transform into a red sun, standing firm as a mountain within the Heaven’s Might Atmosphere. Continuously, fiery Heaven’s Might Qi attached to him like iron drawn to a magnet, then merged into him.
