Chapter 724: Chapter 35: Taiyin Body Refining, Immortal and Imperishable

"I see, the future is truly wondrous!"

Despite not having the ability to glimpse into the past or future, Chang Xi did not doubt what the Vermilion Bird said, accepting this inverted causal relationship very easily.

This was partly because the Vermilion Bird had just saved her life.

But on the other hand, it was also due to Chang Xi’s unconditional trust in the Great Golden Crow.

Whether it was the Great Golden Crow’s current choices or the Vermilion Bird born from the remains of the Great Golden Crow.

Chang Xi had a natural trust in them, a trust that even transcended time and causality.

Consequently, the Vermilion Bird, who had prepared to spend much effort convincing Chang Xi, was now unsure of what to do.

"Since you are the existence nurtured after the death of the Great Golden Crow, you naturally count as my child."

"Why would I doubt my child?"

Pretending to be mischievous, Chang Xi raised her eyebrows; after her rebirth, even her mindset seemed much younger, her movements now having a girlish touch.

"However, it seems you expended a lot of energy to save me?"

"Or, is the current you merely an avatar, a separate self, inherently lacking powerful strength?"

Curiously eyeing the Vermilion Bird on her shoulder, Chang Xi could sense that the opponent’s current strength was merely at the level of gods.

Previously reviving her and repelling the Jinhong Clan seemed to consume most of her energy.

"Your observation is correct, I now have very little strength left."

"This is, after all, just one of my Soul Jades; reaching this extent is already my limit."

Nodding with understanding, Chang Xi did not continue to inquire about the opponent’s main body.

After all, she was a Moon God who had lived from antiquity to the present.

Chang Xi was gentle by nature and disliked power, but this did not mean she did not understand these things.

The transaction between the Vermilion Bird and the Great Golden Crow was, without a stronger witness, merely a pure tacit understanding between them.

In other words, if either the Vermilion Bird or the Great Golden Crow suffered a significant loss in strength, it would purely depend on their mood whether the other party would abide by the agreement.

Thinking from another perspective, if it were Chang Xi, she would not go all out for such a verbal agreement either.

"Since that’s the case, leave the upcoming battle to me!"

Looking again towards the horizon, Chang Xi’s gaze fell upon Shangyi, who was charging towards a black hole.

At this moment, Shangyi had already shattered a black hole, disrupting the "Human Path" in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

Almost as soon as the "Human Path" disappeared.

Nu Chou, caught in the chaotic time sequence, was also freed, disappearing from everyone’s sight with relief visible on her face.

With Nu Chou’s disappearance, the ghost gods belonging to the "Human Path" also vanished amid wails.

In the blink of an eye, those ghost gods that poured into the Seven Luminaries Moya Heaven vanished by a sixth.

Unfortunately, when Shangyi wanted to destroy the remaining five paths, Jinhong Clan, who supposedly should have died, emerged from the Six Paths of Reincarnation once again.

"You’re not dead yet?"

Seeing Jinhong Clan again, Shangyi was visibly stunned.

The Vermilion Bird’s flames earlier were incredibly fierce; Shangyi could clearly see this.

It was precisely during that gap that Shangyi managed to shatter the "Human Path," liberating the trapped Nu Chou.

"I am an existence that governs death; there is never a concept of ’death’ associated with me."

Slowly opening his eyes, Jinhong Clan fiercely gazed downward.

Clearly, although Jinhong Clan rebirthed using the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.

This kind of "rebirth" was evidently not without cost, as shown by his slightly pale complexion.

"Back off!"

With just a low roar, Jinhong Clan blasted Shangyi, who was nearby, away with terrifying force.

This exponential increase in power likewise exposed Jinhong Clan’s trump card.

"Does coming out from the ’Six Paths of Reincarnation’ every time make one stronger?"

With a strange expression focusing intently on Jinhong Clan, the Vermilion Bird possessing similar Divine Power could not help but mutter a sentence.

Her own Nirvana Rebirth was bestowed by the Tao Ancestor, so where did Jinhong Clan’s ability originate?

—Could it not be from the Lord of the Mansion?

This thought flashed across her mind, the Vermilion Bird deemed this possibility unlikely.

Or more precisely speaking, if Jinhong Clan’s ability truly came from the Lord of the Netherworld, he wouldn’t need the step of "rebirth" at all.

An "Undying Body" that can never be killed seems more like the manifestation of the Lord of the Netherworld’s ability.

Celestial Emperor’s Capital, Ninth Heaven·Chiming and Yang Heaven.

"Taiyin Refining Form?"

"You passed this onto him?"

Situated in this ultimate Celestial Realm transcending matter, spirit, and energy, Li Boyang overlooked the battlefield below in surprise.

Obediently staying beside Li Boyang.

Xiluo blinked a bit self-consciously, not daring to respond directly.

Long before Jinhong Clan forcibly opened the Ascension Stairs, Li Boyang had quietly slipped into the Celestial Emperor’s Capital with Xiluo.

When Jinhong Clan was fighting with Chang Xi and the others, Li Boyang and Xiluo had already snuck into the most mysterious Ninth Heaven.

This is the core hub of the entire Capital of Heaven and Earth, and also the Supreme Heaven where Emperor Hao secluded himself for cultivation.

However, Li Boyang, with Xiluo, wandered around here a lot but never managed to discover Emperor Hao’s whereabouts.

"Taiyin Refining Form, which is after a cultivator’s Primordial Spirit manifests, where purely the Primordial Spirit enters the Netherworld."

"Waiting for the cultivation to be successful, three souls building bones, Seven Spirits guarding flesh, the body’s muscles turn to grey but the Five Viscera remain untarnished, and bones are jade-like."

"Ultimately awaiting the Primordial Spirit’s return to the body, allowing one to transcend the boundaries of life and death, achieving an Indestructible Soul and an Undying Body."

Leisurely reciting the essence of the "Taiyin Transforming Form," Li Boyang side-eyed the guilty Xiluo and continued narrating.

"This is a shortcut to refine the Elixir of Immortality using the body as a furnace and the Primordial Spirit as fire."

"Due to this method requiring leverage on the occasions of the Yin and Yang Realms, it’s inaccessible by ordinary means, and unable to be practiced by ordinary individuals."

"Only those who simultaneously possess the characteristics of the Yin and Yang Realms, born in the mortal world, and wander in the Underworld can use the method of ’Taiyin Refining Form’ to achieve an Indestructible Soul and an Undying Body."

Truly tracing its origins, this "Taiyin Refining Form" cannot even be considered an official cultivation method.

It was merely a method inspired momentarily by Li Boyang while refining the Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Pill, an unnameable intersection method of Yin and Yang.

Li Boyang never thought that someone in this world could actually practice this "Taiyin Refining Form."

To say the least, if an ordinary cultivator could have their Primordial Spirit enter the Netherworld, they would not be an ordinary cultivator.

Similarly, if an ordinary ghost god had an incorruptible body in the mortal world, they would not be an ordinary ghost god either.

These two harsh conditions virtually lock the threshold of the "Taiyin Refining Form."

After all, these are prerequisites for alchemy, not for cultivation.

Separately refining the Yang Pill and Yin Pill, then combining them using the Nine Revolutions method to form the Soul Reviving Pill, is the correct approach to this "Taiyin Refining Form."

To take a step back, if someone could satisfy these two harsh introductory conditions simultaneously, they most likely would not favor this makeshift cultivation method.

Only a special existence like Jinhong Clan could further evolve this nascent "Taiyin Refining Form."

As for that trait of becoming stronger after death?

That is merely mimicking the final step of "Taiyin Refining Form"—Nine Revolutions to Form a Pill.

In the current context, "Nine Revolutions" doesn’t literally mean turning nine times, but refers to each death of Jinhong Clan being a "Nine Revolutions" process.

The body is the Yang Pill, the Primordial Spirit is the Yin Pill, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation acts as the Pill Furnace.

Each death is the process of the Yang Pill and Yin Pill converging within the Pill Furnace until ultimately achieving immortality.

"Now I sort of understand..."

"So Jinhong Clan’s achievements, besides the Lord of the Netherworld quietly aiding from behind, your impact is clearly greater!"

"But your courage is quite audacious to pass such a nascent method onto Jinhong Clan?"
