Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

268: The Origin of the UnderworldQin Jiang looked at the Bronze Statue in his hand; with his current strength, he was still unable to destroy this Bronze Statue forged from Earthly Dao Laws.

This Bronze Statue appeared to be made of ordinary brass, but in reality, it was the physical manifestation of Earthly Dao Laws.

Only an existence at the Peak of the Immortal King realm would have a slight possibility of grinding it away.

Of course, this also meant that such an Immortal King would be rejected by the Earthly Dao, reducing the time they could remain on the continent.

Emperor Ancestor Sovereign approached holding the Immortal King Jade Talisman, staring blankly at the Bronze Statue in Qin Jiang’s hand.

He found it hard to believe that an existence comparable to an Immortal King, who had just been revived and hadn’t even shown her great power to the world, was suppressed just like that.

It all felt somewhat surreal.

What was even harder for him to understand was how Qin Jiang could be so strong. He... he was clearly an Immortal Lord!

Even the Array Dao Heavenly Sovereign at his Peak, having set up a Peerless Killing Array, would not be able to display such strength!

“Fellow Daoist, take action. Extract her Origin so I can seal it here,” Qin Jiang said.

After all, the Yellow Sky Divine Mother was an Innate Divine Being of the Earthly Dao, and she had previously fused with the Heavenly Heart to restore her complete Divine Sacred Body.

Therefore, even though her consciousness had been dispersed, the remaining bronze body was enough to naturally taint the surrounding area.

When that happened, many unintelligent Innate Bronze Creatures would inevitably be born.

The instinct of these creatures would be to seize and devour the Yellow Sky Divine Mother’s Divine Sacred Body to become the new master of the Yellow Spirit Great Domain.

Only by stripping away the Earthly Dao Origin belonging to her and then sealing her Divine Sacred Body could this situation be avoided.

Emperor Ancestor Sovereign held the jade talisman with some hesitation. He looked at Qin Jiang. “Fellow Daoist, are you truly willing to part with it?

Fusing with the Earthly Dao Origin is equivalent to seizing a portion of the Earthly Dao Position; one could almost be said to possess an Immortal and Indestructible Body.

Fellow Daoist, you already possess Immortal King power. With the help of this Origin, you will surely be able to step into the true pinnacle of the immortal king realm even faster.

If anyone’s Immortal Ascension were to make me truly convinced, it would surely be yours alone!”

No one would be unmoved by this Earthly Dao Origin; it was a true Opportunity to achieve the Immortal King realm, perhaps the only one since ancient times.

But if it were Qin Jiang, he was willing to give it up, as long as the other party could bring about that future.

Qin Jiang shook his head. “The Earthly Dao Origin is useless to me. I walk the Overlord Dao, which leads to the same future you envision, but if I were to do it, it would be too extreme. In comparison, you are more suitable.

Of course, if you cannot do it, I will personally send you on your way and find another suitable person.”

Emperor Ancestor Sovereign’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, and then he laughed. “Fine, it’s a deal!”

After saying that, he used his right fingers to slash a bloodstain across his left palm. A drop of crimson blood emitted a Six-Colored Divine Light.

This was a unique characteristic after tempering the Immortal King Body. Once one passed the Immortal King Tribulation, this Six-Colored Divine Light would transform into seven colors, and the true Immortal King Physique would be complete.

The crimson blood dripped onto the Immortal King Jade Talisman, and a profound blood-red array pattern emerged, releasing a blood-light that enveloped the Bronze Statue in Qin Jiang’s hand.

Qin Jiang let go, and the Bronze Statue floated naturally, its brass color gradually turning blood-red.

A moment later, the originally brass-colored statue had completely turned into a blood-red Bronze Statue, and a grain-sized deep blue radiance gradually lit up at its brow.

Boom—Rumble—!

Almost at the moment the deep blue light appeared, the sky over the entire Yellow Spirit Great Domain was covered by deep Nether Clouds, with streaks of deep blue lightning flying through them like ferocious Dragons.

Woo—!

A bright yellow-gold light suddenly rose from the Immortal King Jade Talisman and charged straight into the Nether Clouds.

In an instant, centered around the golden light pillar, faint gold flickered within the Nether Clouds, becoming increasingly apparent. In less than two breaths, the entire Yellow Spirit Great Domain turned golden. All the Nether Qi was dispelled, and even the eternally unchanging Nether Soil was illuminated by the falling golden light.

Qin Jiang looked around in surprise, feeling moved. To have such power with just a single jade talisman, this Emperor Ancestor Immortal King’s strength was definitely no less than the Late Stage of the Immortal King realm.

He might have even reached the Peak of the Immortal King realm.

After all, this Immortal King Jade Talisman was sent to the present world across time and space by the Emperor Ancestor Immortal King before he ascended to heaven.

As for how strong the Emperor Ancestor Immortal King became after Ascending to Heaven, no one knew.

However, this also caused a sense of urgency to rise in his heart. If even such a powerful Emperor Ancestor Immortal King had died, what kind of dangers lay in the Place of Ascension?

Boom—!

While he was lost in thought, a terrifying pressure descended. The deep blue light at the brow of the Bronze Statue had been completely stripped away.

At this moment, the blood-red statue seemed to have instantly aged countless years, its surface becoming dull and rough.

The blood-red color gradually faded, revealing the original brass color, and a small indentation could be clearly seen on its brow.

He looked at the deep blue point of light; it was like a deep blue jade stone, surrounded by chains formed from Earthly Dao Laws, with deep Nether Qi drifting around it.

The blood-red light guided the deep blue light toward the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign, whose expression was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

This was a true Opportunity for a Breakthrough to the Immortal King realm, with the hope of taking his Immortal King Body a step further to become a true seven-colored Immortal King Physique.

When that time came, there would be no need to fight for the little monkey’s Immortal King Opportunity.

With his tens of thousands of years of accumulation, even if they were both Immortal Kings, he was confident he could suppress Sun Wukong.

Moreover, he glanced at Qin Jiang; moreover, there was such a monster here.

He didn’t believe Sun Wukong, who had just achieved Immortal Ascension, would be a match for Qin Jiang.

He estimated that even if he and Sun Wukong joined forces, they still wouldn’t be enough.

“Fellow Daoist, be careful. This Earthly Dao Origin is no small matter. If you can fully absorb it, after you attain the Dao in the future, you will barely be considered to have attained a Two-Life Immortal King Dao Fruit. You could directly enter the Middle Stage of the Immortal King realm, with the hope of reaching the Peak of the Immortal King realm in the future.”

Qin Jiang spoke. No matter who absorbed this Earthly Dao Origin belonging to the Yellow Sky Divine Mother, they would gradually reach a level comparable to the Late Stage of the Immortal King realm in the years to come.

At that time, they would only need to devour the Yellow Sky Divine Mother’s physical bronze body to completely seize the Earthly Dao Authority and become an Acquired Earthly Dao Divine Being, relying on the Earthly Dao to remain immortal for ten thousand generations.

However, Emperor Ancestor Sovereign walked the path of an Immortal King, so the situation might be different. Perhaps this Earthly Dao Origin would serve as nourishment for his Immortal King path.

Comparatively speaking, absorbing the Earthly Dao Origin was still slightly inferior to a true Two-Life Immortal King Dao Fruit.

If one could truly attain a Two-Life Immortal King Dao Fruit, they might directly enter the Peak of the Immortal King realm without needing to spend time slowly increasing their strength.

Emperor Ancestor Sovereign nodded slightly, fully concentrated, staring at the approaching deep blue light.

Along with the light came a terrifying pressure that did not affect external objects but physically oppressed his body.

Chiss—!

Cracks appeared on his body, and streaks of blood sprayed out, shining with Six-Colored Divine Light.

“Ah—!!!”
