Chapter 948 The Three Elements Return to One, the Divine Union with the Great Void

"The supreme celestial demon capable of ruling over all spirits and beings in the heavens."

"Just who exactly is the Qingyang Old Demon?"

But there was no time to think it through.

Deep within Qin Ming's sea of ​​consciousness, the entire demonic scripture transformed into a torrent of consciousness, which he comprehended and digested.

He also absorbed that drop of eerie, dark red chaotic demonic blood.

"That old devil didn't even warn me beforehand."

With the injection of this drop of demonic blood, the terrifying power of chaotic demonic energy began to continue transforming Qin Ming's physical body.

Qin Ming changed the hand seals and began to use the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Demon's technique to control his true body.

All of a sudden.

The surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) was instantly drained by more than half, and the remaining essence of the blood vine and the Soul Cleansing Pool was also rapidly absorbed.

Since he had already successfully achieved physical union with the Dao, this process was almost a natural progression.

The instant Qin Ming forged the true form of the Myriad Transformations Heavenly Demon Ruler.

Black demonic scales grew from his body, a pair of huge wings sprouted from his back, a single horn grew from his head, and one eye was a golden dragon eye, while the other was a dark red demonic flame.

Within this terrifying demonic body, a Heavenly Demon Inner Landscape has even been created, capable of devouring the spiritual energy of thousands of miles with a single breath, and opening its mouth to devour enemy magic weapons and supernatural powers, turning them into its own.

According to the Demon Scripture, this heaven-defying demonic technique is called "Myriad Transformations Heavenly Demon Ruler of True Body" because the demonic body must use chaotic demonic blood as a catalyst.

However, it was not a pursuit of returning to chaos, but rather a forcible furnace of will, forcibly refining all the spirits of the heavens and ultimately forging a supreme demonic body.

Qin Ming raised his hand and gripped the demonic claw tightly, feeling the terrifying power contained within his body, and his heart was filled with excitement.

"Hehehe! My demonic art is many times better than that of the holy ancestors of the ancient demon realm. With only the initial formation of the demonic body, my physical body can withstand the top-level seventh-rank Dao Integration Treasures. Tearing apart small secret realms with bare hands is no problem."

"Unless it is a Mahayana-level being who attacks you, they cannot shake the defense of the Heavenly Demon True Body."

"If one cultivates to the later stages, one can create the 'End Domain,' where all laws retreat and the primordial energy of heaven and earth is instantly depleted."

"I would be gratified if one day I saw someone who could cultivate this demonic body."

"Ruzi can be taught!"

Looking at his masterpiece, the old demon Qingyang's cloudy eyes were unusually filled with excitement.

Just after Qin Ming successfully entered the realm of physical body integration with the Dao, a mysterious force of calamity began to gather between heaven and earth.

He quickly withdrew his demonic powers, sensing that the fusion demonic tribulation was about to arrive, and left the Lesser Spirit Realm to come outside.

Breaking through the physical body to the Integration Realm also requires undergoing the Integration Tribulation.

Qin Ming had to overcome tribulations dozens of times more terrifying than those of ordinary cultivators each time, and he was already used to it.

Ever since.

He seized the opportunity and prepared to break through to the Integration Realm as well.

When the physical body and the primordial spirit are united, one can achieve 'unity of body and law' and forge one's own Dao.

With a thought, the Yanfu Immortal Vine, his natal spiritual plant in the desolate realm, vanished into thin air and appeared behind him, spreading out its black vines that blotted out the sky.

Qin Ming inherited the "Eternal Azure Emperor Technique" from the Azure Emperor Venerable. Every breakthrough in his cultivation realm is closely related to his own natal spiritual plant. At this moment, when he is breaking through to the Integration Stage, the Black Vine is naturally indispensable.

Black Vine seemed to sense Qin Ming's aura as well, emanating an ancient and profound aura that resonated with him.

Gold and silver runes emerged from the black branches and began to swirl around.

Qin Ming sat cross-legged, casually waved his hand, and placed numerous opportunities for fusion in front of him.

Finally, he took out the seventh-tier Dao Integration Pill, a tiny white sliver the size of a grain of rice, and guided by his instructions, it entered his primordial spirit.

At this moment, the "Eternal Azure Emperor's Manual" begins its cyclical rotation.

Under the guidance of the seventh-order fusion formation, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the seventh-order spiritual veins of the Lingmiao Sect was continuously drawn over and secretly gathered below Qin Ming.

Qin Ming smiled slightly as his demonic infant spirit, having advanced to the Fusion stage, transformed back into a beam of demonic light and entered his original body.

From this point on, the process of merging the primordial spirit and the physical body into one will begin, becoming inseparable.

Qin Ming's primordial spirit dwarf hovered three feet above his head, mimicking his posture of sitting in meditation with eyes closed.

As time passed, the medicinal power of the Dao Integration Pill completely dissipated, and the Evergreen Magic Power within his body gradually surged.

After a full 360 cycles, the spiritual plant formed from his immortal body behind him suddenly grew taller.

Its form transformed into a great ailanthus tree that has stood tall and unyielding since ancient times.

Qin Ming's primordial spirit materialized from the void, resonated with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, merged with the Great Void, and entered a completely new realm.

Thus, the cultivation of the "Eternal Azure Emperor Technique" has begun a new chapter, the "Great Chun Chapter".

In ancient times, there was a great tree called Chun, which took eight thousand years for spring and eight thousand years for autumn.
The world in Qin Ming's eyes had been completely transformed, and he was only one step away from the true Integration Stage.

……

at the same time.

Just as Qin Ming was breaking through, in the Nine Dragons Domain within the Human Race's Spirit Realm, in the cultivation ground where the Golden Turtle resided.

He was with an old Taoist priest in a gray robe, who was holding a divination banner. This man was Yin Yangzi, one of the Seven Sons of Humanity.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, to be honest, last night I observed the celestial phenomena and on a whim cast a divination. I'm afraid something big is about to happen in the Tianyuan Domain!" Yin Yangzi said meaningfully, stroking his beard.

Gu Chang'an calmly took a sip of spiritual tea, then put down his teacup upon hearing this, revealing a look of utter surprise: "Oh? Your divination is always extremely accurate, old fellow. Did you manage to predict anything specific?"

"Hmm, this matter involves too many secrets of heaven, but it is mostly related to the demon race. It is estimated that those demon stars can no longer sit still and are about to show themselves," Yin Yangzi said after a long pause.

He then tapped his fingers again and continued, "I heard that the two demon stars that the demon race has brought down to the realm this time are both extremely troublesome. It seems that you and I have to go there, otherwise, the few early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators below will probably not be able to deal with this matter."

“Since that’s the case, then I’ll go with you. I happen to have an old friend here, whom I haven’t seen in a long time. I can catch up with him.” Jin Guizi said with a faint smile.

Yin Yangzi was surprised to hear this: "That's really rare! There's actually someone who can meet Fellow Daoist Gu's standards. I must see him."

After a brief conversation, the two decided to set off immediately.

Gu Chang'an sent a message, and soon after, Han Ya Shangren walked in. He bowed respectfully to the two human leaders in front of him.

"You should also make preparations, and while you're at it, come back with me to visit your old friends."

Master Hanya was taken aback and asked cautiously, "Ah? An old friend? Senior Gu, are you referring to 'Fellow Daoist Li'?"

Gu Chang'an nodded without hesitation and said, "Who else could it be besides him?"

Upon hearing this, Master Hanya looked troubled and stammered, "Senior Gu, could I not go? My cultivation is currently at a critical juncture, and I really can't spare the time."

He was genuinely terrified of seeing Qin Ming. Every time he saw him, he would inexplicably suffer a massive financial loss. Even with his considerable wealth, Master Hanya couldn't withstand such torment.
And then there's Qin Ming's spirit pet, the Sky-Devouring Rat, which is also a bottomless pit.

Recently, Master Hanya finally acquired a few more valuable items and accumulated some wealth. He couldn't wait to stay away from the master and servant.

Gu Chang'an frowned: "How could I not know your cultivation level? It's settled then. You'll need to take care of the little turtle on the way."

“Yes, alright then,” Master Hanya had no choice but to say, forcing himself to speak.

So he served the black tortoise and went to the Tianyuan Domain with the two of them.

……

Several months later. Outside the gates of the Lingmiao Sect.

The atmosphere was tense and somber.

The two combined sects, Taiyi Sect and Wanshou Valley, have already fought at the mountain gate, and this time, the two elders, Beiling Patriarch and Chequ Patriarch, have personally taken part in the battle.

The two sects' giant magic ships were densely packed with sect cultivators, all looking in the direction of the Lingmiao Sect.

Meanwhile, the seventh-order protective array of the Lingmiao Sect was also fully activated.

The Old Ancestor of Beiling looked down and frowned, saying, "Qingluzi, considering that you are juniors, we two old folks have shown you some leniency out of respect for our past relationship."

"Now that Ancestor Lingyuan has passed away, the status of Lingmiao Sect as a combined sect has long been undeserved."

"I will give you one last chance. Hand over the territory of the Lingmiao Sect, and neither of our sects will make things difficult for you low-level disciples."

"Furthermore, there's no need to escalate things to an unmanageable point."

On the main peak of the Lingmiao Sect, Qingluzi and the others saw the two major sects in such a display and knew that today would determine the life or death of the Lingmiao Sect.

The Northern Mausoleum Ancestor and the Chequ Ancestor personally took action.

Qingluzi gritted his teeth and replied in a deep voice, "The affairs of our sect are not for the two seniors to worry about. It is absolutely impossible for us to hand over the foundation that our ancestor has painstakingly built over tens of thousands of years!"

"Although my cultivation is shallow and I am no match for the two seniors, I will never back down."

Ancestor Chequ could no longer contain himself. A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and a large hand made of the primordial energy of heaven and earth pressed down on the protective array of the Lingmiao Sect!

"Hmph! Stubborn to the end!!"

Rumble!
In an instant, the combined powerhouse made a move that changed the color of the heavens and earth, causing the ground to shake and mountains to tremble.

The disciples of the Lingmiao Sect all showed expressions of horror. Even though they were willing to live and die with their sect, they felt a deep sense of powerlessness under the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

They simply cannot fight against them.

This is the cruelty of the cultivation world.

Standing in the crowd, Zhao Xuan and the others faced the pressure of a powerful being at the Fusion Realm for the first time. They couldn't stand up at all and their faces turned pale.

If it weren't for the seventh-order protective array, the people from the two major sects would probably have already occupied the main peak of the Lingmiao Sect by now.

Core disciples like them have an extremely strong sense of belonging to the sect and naturally do not want to see the sect perish.

Just when she felt a deep sense of powerlessness and despair.

Qingluzi appeared before her, flicked his sleeve, and led her aside, solemnly instructing her:
"Xuan'er, you should go secretly with Uncle Chen and the others. With the two Grandmaster Ancestors making a move today, our Lingmiao Sect will definitely not be able to hold on."

Even so, the sect still needs to preserve its flame for the future.

Zhao Xuan was startled upon hearing this and quickly asked, "Then what about you, Master?"

"Hmph! Even if Taiyi Sect and Wanshou Valley want to swallow up my Lingmiao Sect, they will have to pay a price." Qingluzi said this resolutely.

"No, this disciple wants to go with Master." But before Zhao Xuan could finish speaking, Qing Luzi interrupted her.

"This matter was decided by us, the peak masters. The chosen disciples were all carefully considered and had no selfish motives. You only need to obey orders."

"Here are the sect's inheritance and some resources, enough for you to cultivate to the Void Refinement stage. If you succeed in your cultivation in the future, never forget the shame the sect has suffered today!"

Qingluzi said this almost through gritted teeth.

It's clear that he also resented his own lack of cultivation power, feeling that he was nothing in front of the Nascent Soul Ancestor.

Zhao Xuan hesitated, then was quickly led onto a magic boat by Elder Chen and the others, who prepared to leave from the back.

The Dharma boat was inconspicuous and well-disguised, with more than ten core disciples sitting inside.

These people were originally the future hope of the Lingmiao Sect, but now they are secretly leaving.

Therefore, they all had blank expressions, filled with resentment.

Zhao Xuan stood on the deck of the Dharma Boat, watching the mountain gate fly away from her sight, feeling sad and heartbroken.

She bit her lip, trying to hold back her tears.
hum~~~
at this time.

A sudden change occurred!

A vast chant suddenly resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Immediately afterwards, the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) rippled outwards like water, and then began to tremble violently.

A series of cyan ripples spread outwards from the Lingmiao Sect as its center.

The magic boat that Zhao Xuan was on began to sway and shake violently under the impact of the spiritual energy tide, which was like a vast ocean.

It feels like it could collapse at any moment.

The disciples inside the Dharma Boat, including Elder Chen, all looked astonished and rushed outside.

However, the next moment, a sight that they would never forget appeared before their eyes!

The spiritual energy between heaven and earth, like mayflies of seven colors, swam and converged towards a certain place in the Lingmiao Sect, as if on a pilgrimage.

Only a few breaths later.

The gathering of spiritual energy from heaven and earth suddenly increased in scale, directly forming a huge funnel-shaped vortex.

The forms of those mayfly-like spiritual energies completely transformed into flowers, grasses, and trees, which continuously spread and bloomed in the void, converging towards the center.

boom!
An exaggerated surge of spiritual energy converges to a critical point.

All I could see was the center of that vortex of spiritual energy.

A beam of azure light shot skyward from within the valley, connecting heaven and earth!
It unleashed an extremely terrifying and awe-inspiring power.

The turquoise beam of light gradually changed, growing lush branches and leaves, and in an instant it transformed into a towering Chinese toon tree!

A vast and boundless power of time suddenly descended.

Suddenly, countless plant essences appeared on the various spiritual plants and flowers in the world, and they all gathered towards the Great Chun Tree.

All trees pay homage, and the four seasons cycle.

There was even a trace of the power of the laws of time, which affected the surrounding environment.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of tens of thousands of miles of Lingmiao Sect was instantly drained.

And then came the spectacular sight of all trees flourishing, flowers blooming and withering, and the seasons passing in an instant.

Followed by.

Around the Great Chun Tree, huge rings of spiritual energy appeared and began to spin rapidly.

Such terrifying celestial phenomena nearly caused Elder Chen to lose his footing.

His obese body finally regained its footing, and his gaze fell upon the towering tree, a look of utter disbelief on his face:

"The primordial energy of heaven and earth transforms from nothingness into reality. The three elements return to one, and the spirit merges with the vast void. This means that someone has successfully triggered the phenomenon of celestial unity!"

The disciples on the Dharma Boat were already in a panic, but upon hearing Elder Chen's words, they were even more shocked.

Zhao Xuan gazed at the azure tree that seemed to connect the entire world, her heart filled with astonishment and confusion. She murmured to herself:

That looks like the direction of the medicinal herb garden.
