Dao Ye is going to ascend

Chapter 778 Supreme Foundation, Nine Forms Refining Method

Looking at the layers upon layers of images on the mural, and the countless realms of Dharma that correspond to those images, Li Yuan could hardly contain the excitement in his heart.

The Dharma Realm is where cultivators dedicate their lives to cultivation, and it is also the foundation for the Great Dao in the future.

Therefore, cultivators from the Weitian Dao Sect, the myriad realms of the heavens, and the various realms of Guixu all spend a long time building their Dharma realms after reaching the fifth realm.

And this timeframe is often measured in centuries, or even millennia.

"Collecting relics from mysterious lands and the remnants of the Dharma Realm can greatly accelerate the construction of the Dharma Realm..."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up.

Harvesting relics from mysterious places and the Dharma realm is one of the shortcuts to accelerate the construction of the Dharma realm.

However, this shortcut is not for ordinary people. The reason is that the construction of the Dharma realm requires taking the fundamental Dharma one cultivates as the core and integrating one's own innate supernatural powers and innate spiritual treasures.

To take this shortcut, one would need to gather countless essences from mysterious lands. Even a true disciple of the Daoist sect, a prodigy like Yu Wangxian, would not have such wealth.

Previously, Li Yuan's plan was to have his main body go into seclusion to cultivate, while sending his Shadow Demon Body and Sword Lotus Body to explore the mysterious corridors. In this way, he was confident that he could build the most perfect Dharma Realm within three hundred years.

but now……

"With so many Dharma realms, even just a bite or two would be enough for me to build the Abyss Realm to an extremely perfect state!"

Li Yuan was overjoyed, but he did not act rashly. Instead, he calmed down and carefully observed the huge mural in front of him.

This is not easy.

The shackles of the prison were extremely oppressive. Even with his current level of cultivation, his visibility would be very limited without the support of the weapon-wielding talisman.

After a long while, the Shadow Demon closed its eyes and concentrated, seemingly cultivating its magical power, but in reality, its mind had returned to the Abyss Realm.

"Om~"

At the summit of Yuanshi Mountain, Li Yuan sat cross-legged on the edge of a cliff. Before him, a huge scroll slowly unfolded, almost covering half of the sky.

It was the mural in the D-cell cell.

With the immense enhancement of his perception provided by the Weapon Master's Talisman, he gradually revealed what he saw to the Abyss Realm.

"Humans, Hell Clan, Demonic Cultivators...tsk, but the majority are Xuanhuang Cultivators..."

"The Dharma realm depicted in the murals is almost identical to the numbering on the prison stone tablet, meaning that the Dharma realms of the vast majority of imprisoned cultivators have fallen into it..."

"It's not even accurate to call it the Dharma Realm. The parts that have been extinguished have all become haunted places. The ones that haven't been extinguished are probably just because there are still incense offerings left in the Dharma Realm..."

Li Yuan focused his attention, not missing a single detail.

The images in this enormous painting flicker, with only two or three out of ten showing the strongest light, while three or four out of ten are dim, and the rest are completely extinguished in a blackish-gray.

"The most valuable among these Dharma Realms are naturally those that have not yet been extinguished, but the lords of these Dharma Realms may not necessarily be dead. To be on the safe side, let's start exploring from the Mysterious Lands..."

After a long while, the scroll in the sky disappeared. Li Yuan had also made up his mind, but he did not make the Shadow Demon Body move. Instead, he entered the weapon control space.

"The oppressive power of the prison cell that day was too strong. To enter the mural, one needs to further strengthen one's mind and will..."

As Li Yuan's thoughts raced, the 'Divine Fire Furnace' on the stone platform began to tremble violently.

Incense sticks carrying various weapons and magical treasures were thrown into it, and before long, three eleventh-tier weapons were formed, each enhanced with spiritual power.

"It should be almost done."

After tossing the three weapons into the weapon talisman, Li Yuan returned his mind to the Abyss Realm.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound.

Li Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a blue dragon soaring among the clouds. After absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that it had absorbed during its previous advancement, it opened its mouth and spat out a waterfall of green water.

The waterfall plunges three thousand feet down to the northwest corner of Yuanshi Mountain, where the earth trembles and it transforms into a lake covering eight hundred miles.

"Azure Water Technique"

Li Yuan smiled slightly. This was a new spell that Qinglong had just mastered. Although its rank was not high, it was still a cornerstone for constructing the Dharma Realm. The Yuan Shi Realm he envisioned was not just Yuan Shi City and Yuan Shi Mountain.

A perfect Dharma realm requires every blade of grass, every tree, every drop of water, and every stone within it to be refined into magic, only in this way can an ultimate foundation be forged.

"roar~"

As if sensing Li Yuan's arrival, a three-legged golden crow cried out in the sky, followed by a streak of fire falling to the earth.

With a deafening roar, it had transformed into a volcano.

Not only the Azure Dragon and the Golden Crow, but all nine true forms cultivated by Li Yuan were practicing magic. Even the Mysterious Vine Tree and the Rebellious Turtle were not idle, huffing and puffing out magical waves.

In fact, this is one of the benefits of practicing the Nine True Forms.

The One Form Refining Method is naturally not as fast as the Nine Form Refining Method.

"Whoo~"

With his mind focused on Yuanshi City and sitting quietly beneath the Xuan Teng Mother Tree, Li Yuan finally managed to sense the Shadow Demon Body and prepare to try to access the strange land depicted in the mural.

"Snapped!"

Before Li Yuan's mind could settle into the Shadow Demon's body, he saw a black whip emerge from the void within the prison and lash out fiercely at the Shadow Demon's face.

With a single lash, the Shadow Demon fell headfirst to the ground, its face ripped open by the whip!
"grass!"

Upon seeing this, Li Yuan immediately retreated to his weapon-controlling space and coldly surveyed the scene. He saw the long whip swirling like a net, extremely sharp and fierce.

"what!"

"Damn it, damn it! You damned wretch, I'll kill you sooner or later!"

"Haha, come again! If I snort even once, I'm not a disciple of the Dao Sect!"

As the whipping continued, Li Yuan heard shouts and curses coming from outside the prison, clearly indicating that the prison had deliberately loosened its suppression of hearing.

"...That's ruthless."

Li Yuan watched coldly.

Although the Shadow Demon Body did not possess the body-refining supernatural abilities of a cultivator, it was still at the peak of the fifth realm. However, under that whipping, its skin, flesh, tendons, and bones were shattered like paper.

This shows how severe the whipping was.

In a short while, the three thousand lashes were finished. Li Yuan entered the Shadow Demon's body and felt a sharp pain that went straight to his soul. Even though he was prepared, he couldn't help but tremble all over.

At the same time, the glint of a weapon appeared in his eyes.

【The Whip of Heavenly Sin (Rank 16)】

【? ? ? 】

【? ? ? 】

"Sixteenth rank!"

Taking a deep breath to suppress the overwhelming pain, Li Yuan struggled to channel his magic power to heal the injuries to his Shadow Demon body.

The Shadow Demon's injuries appeared shocking, but were not actually serious; it was just that the pain lingered for a long time, while the screams and curses outside the prison lasted for a full half day.

"A sixteenth-tier whip, no wonder it hurts so much... Is this divine whip part of the Tower of Heavenly Sin, or a magic weapon of the Golden Immortal who judges sins?"

Li Yuan raised his hand to touch the whip marks on his face and silently activated the Commanding Weapon Scroll.

"Om~"

An invisible force surged from the depths of his soul, causing Li Yuan's spirit to tremble slightly. He felt his will suddenly rise several times over, and the colors before his eyes became dozens of times more vibrant.

With this power of control, Li Yuan quietly released a series of demonic shadows, heading towards the eerie place within the mural.
