The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 264 Bloodline

The dragon's body is merely the threshold; beyond that, there are varying levels of attainment, and the most obvious indicator of a higher or lower level is the dragon's toes.

The immortal realm corresponding to six toes is the Golden Immortal.

Ding Lin's eyes narrowed slightly. When he saw the sixth dragon toe, all the records about true dragons from the books he had read while practicing the "Great Celestial Immortal Technique" came to mind.

On the dragon's claw, the sixth toe had just begun to emerge and was not yet fully grown.

This is because his cultivation is insufficient, but in fact, the door to becoming a Golden Immortal has already been opened, and there is no longer any bottleneck. All he needs to do next is accumulate. When his cultivation breaks through the first element, it will nourish his physical body, and his dragon body will naturally evolve to the level of a Golden Immortal. At that time, his dragon toe will also be fully grown.

Tracing back to the source, the First Dragon was one of the first great beings in the primordial world.

The bloodline of the Great Luo realm is all-encompassing. When the dragon's body grows six toes and evolves to the Golden Immortal level, the memories dormant in the bloodline will be awakened. These are memories about the laws.

This is another system of spiritual practice, which focuses on the physical body first and then on enlightenment.

In bloodline cultivation, the physical body is fundamental.

Ding Lin originally thought that he would have to master the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang before he could break through to the Golden Immortal realm. Now it seems that he might be able to achieve this earlier by relying on his physical body.

But whichever path you take, success is all that matters.

This is why Ding Lin didn't feel like he was losing money even after he understood the situation.

It's not just breaking even, it's a huge profit by every angle!
Although those Golden Immortals who achieve their status through bloodline inheritance are undoubtedly the weakest, the laws they inherit are not comprehended by themselves, so their use of them naturally cannot reach their full potential.

But, Jin Xian.

What kind of bike do you want?

Even if they are a little weaker, they are still Golden Immortals; there's no faking that level of cultivation.

Only half a golden flower was used.

Blood earned!
First, one can use their physical body to advance their cultivation level and achieve the Golden Immortal realm. Naturally, they will then have an eternal lifespan. At that time, even if the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang are difficult to cultivate and one cannot master them for a long time, there will be no longer any fear of old age and death. One can then proceed with ease.

The last bit of worry was gone.

With the established future of a physical body as a foundation, the anxiety that had been hanging in the air suddenly settled down again.

While the various considerations I just made are certainly feasible and insightful, they are ultimately just predictions.

In fact, not to mention the time required to accumulate magical power, Ding Lin was not entirely confident in mastering the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang. He had already exhausted all his efforts to achieve the "Great Celestial Immortal Technique," let alone this divine power that could potentially be cultivated to the Great Luo level. Although his physical aptitude had improved significantly compared to before, the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang would undoubtedly be even more difficult.

My heart is actually hanging in suspense.

Ding Lin thought that way at the time mainly to prevent himself from getting discouraged.

But things are really different now. It's truly a case of "after passing through mountains and rivers, one thinks there's no way out, but then a new village appears amidst the willows and flowers."

Ding Lin closed his eyes, channeling his magical power, preparing to awaken his state. With a change in mindset, even the flow of his magical power seemed to become a little lighter.

Wait, this lightheartedness isn't due to mindset.

Under the Milky Way, the celestial river flows, but the distance between them is actually not very far.

That lightness and etherealness originated from the Milky Way.

The rhythm of water!

Clouds follow dragons, and dragons are born near water. The laws inherited by the Golden Immortal realm are naturally of the water element.

The sixth dragon toe grew out. In fact, Ding Lin had already touched upon it in essence, but because it had not yet reached maturity, this feeling was still very vague, intermittent and faint.

Ding Lin opened his eyes, his emotions, which had just calmed down, began to fluctuate again. Before, it was because of anxiety, but now it was because of excitement.

No matter how detailed or detailed the account in the book is, it cannot compare to personal experience.

Never before had Ding Lin felt that the Golden Immortal was so close to him, as if he could reach out and touch him.

A flash of spiritual light appeared in his palm, and the dragon claw transformed back into his right hand.

Ding Lin stood up. "Splash!"

A pile of things fell out of his body. This was all of Ding Lin's possessions. He frowned and examined them. The only thing that was somewhat worth looking at was the long sword immortal weapon that he had taken from Princess Wansheng and modified with the Treasure Refining Technique. It was perfect for use now, but the weapon could not be used for cultivation.

Besides that, there was only a bunch of jade bottles.

Ding Lin uncorked each one, and apart from some long-obsolete Dan-level demon cores, they were all empty.

The jade bottles clattered and clattered all over the ground. Ding Lin finally looked at the seven jade pots lined up side by side.

His eyes lit up.

Ding Lin opened his mouth as wide as possible and picked up the teapots one after another, but no matter how he changed the angle or tilted the teapot, not a single drop could be poured out of the spout.

He lifted the lid of the pot and looked inside; the bottom of the pot was so clean it looked like it had been licked by a cat.

He has exhausted all his resources in his quest to ascend to immortality.

Ding Lin was still unwilling to give up, so he touched his body again from top to bottom. The armor was rough on his hands. Then, a flash of light appeared on his body, and the golden armor was put away, leaving his red official robes still empty.

Absolutely, we are extremely poor.

Ding Lin's throat bobbed twice, and he waved his hand to collect the bottles and jars scattered on the ground. He then checked his cultivation level again: 47,600 years, still 82,000 years away from the perfection of the Immortal Realm.

Eighty-two thousand years—how long would it take to accumulate that much just through cultivation?

At this moment, Ding Lin missed the Seventh Fairy Maiden immensely.

But if it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist; no matter what you do, you can't conjure it up.

Ding Lin let out a breath. After the ordeal, he had released some of his emotions and was now able to calm down.

The gap in cultivation level is too large; I still need to find a way to obtain some resources and spiritual items.

Now, let's study the Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends.

Now that I've become a Celestial Immortal, it's time to put my understanding of the laws on the agenda.

Becoming a Golden Immortal through physical cultivation is merely a stepping stone; the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang is the true foundation for the future.

Ding Lin sat down cross-legged, holding a jade slip in each hand, one yellow and one green. The green one lit up first, recording the seventy-two transformations of the Earthly Fiends.

The Seventy-Two Transformations are described as: communicating with the underworld, driving away spirits, carrying mountains, blocking water, borrowing seals, spreading fog... slaying demons, inviting immortals... facing the clouds, taking the moon... knowing the time, recognizing the place, abstaining from grains, and performing nightmares and prayers.

Ding Lin then read on to read the detailed description.

Tongyou: refers to encountering the divine, meaning to be profoundly insightful and able to see into the underworld and hell, and to see through illusion.

……

Sitting on fire: This means entering a fire without being burned, and is a method to avoid fire.

Entering the water: In the sea, it is also called diving into the abyss without drowning.

……

Boiling Stones: All metals and minerals are used to refine and calcify them into medicines for consumption; this is a kind of alchemy technique.

Flame-breathing: It can breathe out raging flames to burn away evil spirits.

……

Bigu (Fasting): Abstaining from food and drink, relying solely on the wind and dew, and avoiding grains and human food. The spirits are said to live on the breath.

……

The seventy-two transformations are also seventy-two methods of defending against enemies, but the descriptions are all singular and the descriptions are extremely broad.
