Chapter 850 Sacrificing Oneself to Refine the Blood Jade

Yue Hanzhang nodded heavily.

Refining that pure version of the source of extraordinary power is a huge undertaking.

However, the resulting imbalance between the form and spirit and the Dao at the level of the inner realm primordial spirit, and the trauma inflicted on Old Ghost Lin during the entire breakthrough process, is secondary, and can even be remedied and healed.

To know.

Even at this final critical moment, Old Ghost Lin was able to use his profound Daoist foundation to transform into Daoist seals, sealing the moment when the origin would collapse.

This clearly shows that his Daoist foundation was merely suppressed, rather than being directly crushed and erased by his physical and spiritual origins in a state of imbalance.

As long as one's own foundation in Taoism remains intact.

The rules governing the operation of all those profound Daoist principles still reside within oneself.

The rest is simply a matter of painstakingly finding ways to compensate for the imbalance and restore harmony between the physical form and the Daoist principles in the inner realm of the primordial spirit.

Even Yue Hanzhang, in that split second, was able to keenly find a direction of thought, and could look for a solution in the vast sea of ​​secret methods of internal body tempering.

After all, this path is extremely vast, encompassing almost all the Daoist principles and secret techniques related to the true form among the myriad Daoist methods for human cultivators.

A large portion of these scriptures and esoteric practices explain how to strengthen the body and spirit through cultivation.

However, some secret methods take the opposite approach, explaining how to nourish and strengthen the origin of the Dao through the burning of one's own abundant Qi and blood.

The interaction between the two is, to a certain extent, interconnected and reversible.

Within the cycle of Yue Hanzhang's [Two Forms True Form], there are traces of this kind of secret technique that allows one to instantly reverse the flow of one's blood and qi after exhausting one's magical power, transforming it into abundant magical power.

These are far from being considered secrets in Taoist cultivation.

The solutions that Yue Hanzhang could think of, Lin Laogui, with his profound knowledge and experience, could naturally also come up with.

What truly took Lin Laogui's life was the disharmony between the various Dao Scenery Worlds, which was the most inconspicuous yet the most irresistible and irreversible, leaving no way to reverse it.

Previously, the three Dao Jing Worlds were fused together to form the Inner Jing World.

This is not a simple superposition.

From the moment they became the inner world, the mutual generation and restorative effects between the Dao and the Dharma directly impacted the origin of the inner world.

And this growth has continued throughout the years since.

Even if the cultivators themselves are aware of this, they can only slow down the growth of the inner world's origin.

Just as they cannot freeze the passage of time, they also cannot completely freeze the growth of the inner essence.

Almost all the Dao Lords of the Inner Realm Third Heaven have been lingering in front of the cage for hundreds or thousands of years.

The origin of their own inner world has grown to an incredible extent.

Meanwhile, their Dao Realm Worlds, which had not yet been refined and were confined within the realm of illusion and reality, were truly as if the entire realm itself had been frozen and sealed off.

Daojing World is a product of the outer realm of Longtu.

They had nurtured it to perfection in the past, to the point where it could not be improved upon.

As long as the foundation of Taoist principles does not decline.

These Daoist landscapes are frozen in the realm between the real and the virtual, maintaining the state they were in at the moment of inner cultivation, and will not change in the hundreds or thousands of years to come.

So, when Old Ghost Lin restarted his breakthrough process.

Leaping across hundreds of thousands of years, there has become an incredible difference in fundamental essence between the former and the latter.

This is the root of all disharmony.

No one can add a single thread to the foundation of the Dao Landscape World. Adding a thread would mean breaking the Dao Landscape World that has been condensed in the Outer Realm, which follows the complete and harmonious framework of the realm.

No one could bring themselves to sever the portion of the inner world's origin that had been added over hundreds of thousands of years. It wasn't that they were reluctant to give up these gains, but rather that during the process of condensing the inner world, the form and spirit merged with the Dao. Severing the origin at this moment would sever both the Dao and the form and spirit!
The result of forcibly balancing is that before one can continue to break through, one's physical form, spirit, and Daoist techniques will suffer the torment of self-inflicted Dao injuries.

The weak cannot increase further, and the strong cannot decrease further.

That's the crux of the problem.

Even Yue Hanzhang's secret method of refining the origin of the Dao Jing World could not work within it.

After all, this is a disharmony in scale, but the Daoist spirit remains consistent.

Yue Hanzhang's reforging secret method adjusts the Daoist essence it carries, but it cannot change the upper limit of its size.

It was precisely because the Daoist essence remained consistent that it deceived Old Ghost Lin, allowing him to smoothly and effortlessly refine one Daoist landscape after another.

Until the moment when it could no longer be sustained.

The moment the essence of all disharmony is revealed, it is already the instant when form, spirit, and Dao collapse.

There was no room for maneuver left for Lin Laogui.

Preparations must be made in advance.

Once you break through to the Inner Realm Dao Lord realm, the fusion of the nine Dao Realm Worlds must be accomplished in one fell swoop!

This is the valuable experience that Old Ghost Lin left for Yue Hanzhang through trial and error at the cost of his life!

In place.

Old Ghost Lin seemed to be reaching the point where his life was nearing its end.

For a long time, he was unable to utter a complete sentence.

Amidst the sounds of heavy breathing.

Even though he was enveloped in a net of seal patterns, as he exhaled breath, colorful smoke and fragments of seal patterns were exhaled along with it.

Inhale—exhale—

Yue Hanzhang watched silently, as if any words would be futile at this moment. He simply watched quietly as Lin Laogui faced his tragic end.

a certain moment.

The colorful smoke that Lin Laogui was exhaling from his mouth and nose came to an abrupt halt.

He was no longer in the same weak and feeble state as before.

Even her pale face regained its rosy hue, and deep within her turbid eyes, a dazzling radiance surged forth like a torrent.

then.

Old Ghost Lin glanced regretfully at the vast emptiness deep within the outer star sea.

"Pity."

"I'm already on the verge of death, yet that person still hasn't taken the bait..."

“I had a final, desperate strike, which I reserved for him.” “Yes.”

"Such a big commotion, even if it was out of his control at the beginning, was enough for him to react in the subsequent process."

"But he never made a move."

"This means that the moment he saw through my method of breaking free from the cage, he was already certain of my defeat!"

"Young friend Yue."

"After I die, you will be the only threat in his eyes, the only target to hunt!"

"I failed to claim this achievement, but you must guard it and not let outsiders obtain it!"

These words suddenly made Old Man Lin very excited, and he spoke with great conviction.

But then.

Old Lin's face turned ashen again.

The brilliance in his eyes was also rapidly fading.

After his brief moment of lucidity, Lin Laogui met his true end.

The trembling in his body and spirit almost made him shake all over.

But this moment.

Old Ghost Lin still raised his hand shakily.

"There's no point in waiting to die like this, so weak and pathetic."

"I am voluntarily walking into the eternal realm of death."

“Young friend, with the embers of my physical form, spirit, and Daoist arts, I will unleash this earth-shattering storm.”

"That person miscalculated the timing of my purification of the source of extraordinary power. You too must break free from this shackle!"

"pity."

"I can't see any more road ahead..."

As soon as the words were spoken.

Old Ghost Lin's handprint swept down towards his own physical form and spirit.

Login time.

Lin Laogui's figure transformed directly into a surging ball of blood flame, and then in an instant, like a shooting star, he slammed accurately and ruthlessly into the collapsing storm to his left and right.

The collapsing storm that had once helped Lin Laogui complete the purification work was now almost exhausted by the energy replenishment from the Nine Aperture Jade Pearl, and was about to completely dissipate.

But as this meteor shower crashed into the collapse storm.

In an instant.

boom--

The entire collapsing storm suddenly expanded wildly in all directions.

And in an instant, it reached the scale of the storm caused by the collapse of the origins of the fifteen Inner Realm Dao Lords.

Then, in the next moment, it will surpass it by a great distance!
at the same time.

An unprecedented, almost insane, force of extraction also descended upon the nine-aperture jade bead at this moment.

A massive amount of extraordinary power was released from it, filling the vortex of the storm in an instant.

Yue Hanzhang clearly felt that the extraordinary radiation energy level, which had been as stubborn as a stain and remained unchanged for a long time, was rapidly attenuating in the collapsing storm formed by Lin Laogui's self-sacrifice.

And at the same time.

Yue Hanzhang had no choice but to suppress the complex emotions that arose from Lin Laogui's failed breakthrough and death in an instant, and focus all his attention on being on guard in secret.

From this moment on, Yue Hanzhang had to face the mastermind behind the scenes who had once made Lin Laogui feel like he was facing a formidable enemy, all by himself.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

The long, agonizing time passed.

at last.

a certain moment.

Yue Hanzhang's sharp eyes turned to the center of the collapsing storm.

Within the keen perception of the mechanized mind, the same clear rhythm was also born in this nine-aperture jade bead at this moment.

The collapse storm completed the purification of the source of the extraordinary power contained within it.

However, Yue Hanzhang did not immediately put away the Nine-Aperture Jade Bead.

Instead, it was allowed to continue to release its extremely clear and extraordinary energy.

Yue Hanzhang had a premonition.

The product created through such "refinement" will transcend the concept of spiritual objects in the Dao Sea.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

Initiating transformation and sublimation!
then.

Another long period of time slowly passed.

After the collapse storm expanded to its maximum size, it then collapsed violently towards the central celestial point.

In the ultimate condensation.

A flash of incandescent light.

Besides the nine-aperture jade bead suspended in place, there was also a perfectly round blood marrow jade bead suspended high in the air.

At that very moment, Yue Hanzhang sensed a faint but perceptible sense of crisis.

Between the lightning and the fire.

Without hesitation, Yue Hanzhang flicked his hand, collecting all the Nine-Aperture Jade Beads and Blood Marrow Jade Fat. Then, the moment the external avatar of [Nine Palaces Change of Appearance] appeared beside him, he immediately self-destructed.

The surging power directly blasted open the Sumeru Passage.

then.

Yue Hanzhang's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
