The First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 981: Chapter 981: Seeking Guidance from the Yuan Monarch’s Dharma Body

The aggregated power of the Red Flame Sect’s over a hundred thousand disciples only allowed the Thousand Laws Robe to transform two Karma Lotuses, not because the sect’s cultivation methods are too lacking!

The main reasons are twofold: firstly, the Red Flame cultivators practice cultivation methods and magic from the same school, and Shen Mo has already mastered most of the top-tier methods among them, using them to transform the Karma Lotus; secondly, they have already been ”nourished” by the torrent of spells from eight million Soul Generals, so similar cultivation methods and magic can no longer generate new Prohibition Lotuses.

It is foreseeable that as time progresses and as the number of Karma Lotuses continues to grow, it will become increasingly difficult to transform new Karma Lotuses in the future. But this also means the Thousand Laws Robe is getting closer to the level of ”invulnerability to all Dharmas”!

Following this, Shen Mo passed through the Greater and Lower Realms passageway and returned to the Lower Realm, spending a few days in the Dragon Heart Realm with Zhao Lingyin.

After Zhao Lingyin set up the Divine Bridge, she gained her own Dao. She developed a strong resistance to other life force fields, radiation mutations, and various alien forces. Shen Mo did not need to restrain his own vital field while spending intimate nights with her during those days. His proficiency in ”The Sutra of Cloudy and Rainy from Wushan” increased significantly!

A few days later, Shen Mo fled to the Outer Void and came before the Qing Sheng Yuan Monarch’s Law Body.

He had already hidden the Thousand Laws Karma Lotus Robe in his Dantian, and adorned himself with the [Fearless] and [Chanjue] Destiny, making all necessary preparations before he relaxed some of the seal power of the Stars Circulation Array.

The Yuan Monarch’s Law Body, which had seemed like autumn’s withered wood, suddenly came to life. As soon as it perceived Shen Mo’s aura, without a word, it shook its branches and unleashed a myriad of spells and skills toward him!

”Good timing!”

Shen Mo’s eyes flashed with a hint of satisfaction as he immediately transformed into the Three-headed Six-armed form and raised numerous powerful magic treasures to confront the branches that were shimmering with various spirit light anomalies, filled with destructive power.

This epic battle lasted only half a day, and soon, the Yuan Monarch’s Law Body seemed to realize something. It directly dissipated all spells and skills, and no matter how Shen Mo used sword Qi to cut her, used true flame to burn her, or used words to anger her, she remained unmoved, reverting to a half-dead withered tree form!

”Old hag, why did you stop fighting?” Shen Mo stood in the void, pointing the tip of his sword at the towering ancient tree, using his sense to transmit his voice loudly.

”You truly are disrespectful, young one! How dare you insult me like this; aren’t you afraid I’ll invoke the power within the Immortal Realm to obliterate you completely?”

The tree leaves of the towering ancient wood rustled even more as the ethereal and majestic voice of Qing Sheng Yuan Monarch rang in Shen Mo’s ears. Although her words carried a hint of displeasure and threat, her tone was utterly calm, showing no trace of anger.

After a slight pause, she continued, ”I have lived a whole era longer than you; how could your little tricks escape my notice!”

”The spells and skills I cast on you dissipated into nothing without causing you any harm. Moreover, as time passed, more and more of my spells and skills became ineffective...”

”Could it be that you obtained the White Venerable’s Thousand Laws Karma Lotus Heavenly Immortal’s Garment, and wish to use it to transform Prohibition Lotuses through me?”

Shen Mo’s expression shifted, and he couldn’t help but laugh, ”After all, they say the old but not dead are the most deceitful; the ancients do not lie. Indeed, Blue Venerable Lady is even craftier than a thief!”

As he spoke, the Thousand Laws Karma Lotus Robe emerged from Shen Mo’s Dantian, dazzling with mysterious immortal light and descending upon him... Hiding it in the Dantian was merely to conceal the treasure’s aura; once refined as a Lifebound Magical Artifact, whether worn or not, it does not affect Shen Mo’s use of this robe’s wondrous properties.

As the Yuan Monarch Law Body had said, Shen Mo indeed planned to use her to transform more Karma Lotuses;

This way, should he encounter her real body in the future, he can use this method to ban most of her Immortal Path techniques!

One cannot help but feel amazed; Qing Sheng Yuan Monarch indeed deserves to be an ancient monster surviving from the old era until now. Even though Shen Mo consumed a considerable amount of Mana to harness the robe’s strongest capabilities, he still couldn’t analyze and decipher all her spells and skills. Yet even so, he managed to produce seven Prohibition Lotuses, which is quite remarkable.

At the same time, Shen Mo discovered a part among the spells and skills cast by the Yuan Monarch Law Body that the ”Thousand Laws Karma Lotus Robe” found difficult to ban or resist—the techniques are bizarre; they feel extremely similar yet subtly different from the Evil Qi left behind after those tree demons were exterminated, as well as the peculiar aura in the sloughed blood!

Seeing Shen Mo donning the Thousand Laws Karma Lotus Robe, the Yuan Monarch Law Body seemed somewhat amazed: ”So it was this immortal-level robe; I didn’t expect you to have repaired it, though its power is still lacking compared to before. In the past, just half a day would suffice to analyze and ban all my Immortal Path techniques!”

”Is the White Venerable senior in Blue Venerable lady’s words the previous owner of this robe? His name is White Venerable; you are Blue Venerable, is there perhaps some connection between you two?”

”This person was originally a Spiritual Monster cultivated from Nine Holes Stone that absorbed the essence of heaven and earth and later attained the Celestial Dao Fruit. To speak of any connection, it would be that this stone monster fought against us for years, relying on the uniquely advantageous Dao Body of the immortal stone and this Prohibition Lotus Heavenly Immortal’s Garment to kill many of my comrades and fellows.” The Yuan Monarch Law Body replied blandly.

”A True Immortal cultivated from Nine Holes Stone!” Shen Mo could not help but feel surprised.

Nine Holes Stone counts among the rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures; they are generally born from the deepest part of Spirit Stone Veins known for excellent quality and heavy earth veins.

Even if all conditions are met, the probability of an immortal stone being born within Spirit Stone Veins is extremely low!

This thing looks like a newborn infant, its surface may have one or two immortal apertures, and similar to a Chakra or Qi Sea, spiritual networks will grow within it. Over time, the immortal apertures will steadily increase; if all nine apertures are formed, it can absorb pure Spiritual Qi from the spiritual veins and channel it within the Qi Sea spiritual networks!

Once the immortal stone is split open, Nine Holes Stone Marrow can be obtained. The cultivator can consume it without any need for spell refining; the Stone Marrow will automatically transform into immense spiritual power, enhancing their Cultivation Realm.

Additionally, unlike ordinary Elixirs, this item doesn’t have the slightest toxic side effects!

The odds of Nine Holes Stone being born are already extremely slim and, given that the stone marrow is highly coveted, whenever an immortal stone appears, it will be split open for its marrow; thus, Shen Mo, thus far in his cultivation, had never heard of Nine Holes Stone that could develop gnosis and transform into a Spiritual Monster creature;

And not only did White Venerable develop into a Stone Monster from Nine Holes Stone, but he also reached the highest True Immortal stage of the Heavenly Immortal... Fear not; search the entire Universal Realm, he is likely the one and only!

Since it transformed from Nine Holes Stone, it can be anticipated that his Dao Body would be incredibly powerful. Additionally, its Qi Sea and Chakra would convert stone marrow into Mana which would be tremendously abundant, pure, and clear.

Such a figure, even without the Thousand Laws Karma Lotus Heavenly Immortal’s Garment, would undoubtedly be a terrifying powerhouse at the Immortal Path authority level!
