Chapter 338 Integration Realm and the Achievement of Corpse Immortal
Yang He guided the corpse energy according to the cultivation method of the Longevity Corpse Path.

The physical body quickly and completely degenerated into a lifeless corpse. There was no need for him to do it deliberately, as the poison of the three corpses had already penetrated deep into his bones.

The next step is to move from death to life, until the opportunity to become an immortal is found.

Yang He suppressed his distracting thoughts, and the lividity inside and outside his body stopped worsening. He could faintly hear the Lady Qiongxiao lying prostrate on his chest, reciting complicated scriptures in his ear.

In a daze, the Yin energy naturally impacted the Integration Realm.

The phantom of the Three Corpses Taoist in Yang He's mind became increasingly realistic.

The bodies of the Three Corpses are covered with patterns resembling lividity, as if recording the passage of time, and exuding an ancient aura that is unsettling.

As Yang He broke through the bottleneck, the Longevity Corpse Path steadily advanced, and the phantom of the Three Corpse Daoist also changed, further increasing in size.

Yang He felt it was quite miraculous. Although it had influenced later generations three thousand years ago, he was now able to witness it with his own eyes.

Unfortunately, Nuo Xiang Gui only has one flag, and we don't know the situation of the other permanent characters.

"Well."

Lu Ya Daoist was drinking when suddenly his wrist trembled, and the wine spilled onto the ground.

"Why does his cultivation of the Longevity Corpse Path make me uneasy? Logically speaking, even if one achieves immortality in the physical body, one is still just a mortal who has not attained the Dao."

He stared intently at the coffin of bones, and more and more patterns appeared on the lid on its own, soon forming a horrifying pattern.

The design simply depicts a corpse that blots out the sky, suspended in mid-air.

Thousands of people surrounded the corpse in worship.

"He is indeed a primordial corpse qi, but how could the first wisp of corpse qi in the world be involved with a mysterious corpse?"

Lu Ya Daoist carefully examined the body and confirmed that its characteristics matched those of Yang He.

Just as a corpse's legs have a certain difference in length, Yang He also has one, but it is difficult to notice, and he does not limp when walking normally.

Such defects are usually congenital deficiencies that are present from birth.

The way of the sky is more than damage but not enough to make up for.

Every cultivator has some degree of innate deficiency, and each one is different. Even Lu Ya Dao Ren is not immune to it. Only a sage can achieve perfection.

"I want to see what secrets your corpse holds."

Lu Ya Daoist frowned, and the flesh from his palm fell to the ground, instantly forming a bloody and mangled Bagua altar.

On the table were placed divination objects such as tortoise shells, straw figures, and yarrow stalks.

He inscribed a blood talisman on the Bagua platform, and the tortoise shell cracked open automatically, while the yarrow stalks moved without wind, arranging themselves into a strange hexagram.

The hexagrams kept changing and could never be fixed.

"Weird."

Lu Ya Daoist's expression was solemn, and he poured out a stream of pure energy from the red gourd.

The rising air instantly illuminated a chaotic scene.

Lu Ya Daoist's pupils contracted slightly as he saw a colossal corpse, towering to the heavens and earth, looming in and out of view, its size beyond what the naked eye could estimate.

Click!

The Bagua platform shattered instantly, and all the divination tools were reduced to dust.

Lu Ya Dao Ren groaned, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. At the same time, he discovered that a bluish-purple corpse spot had appeared on his palm at some unknown time, and it was spreading at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What domineering corpse energy!"

He hurriedly made a hand seal and used Samadhi Fire to burn his palm.

The corpse spots twisted and struggled, emitting a piercing scream, and only completely dissipated after a full nine breaths.

"Fellow Daoist, what is your background?"

"That's all."

Lu Ya Dao Ren stopped trying to spy, took a deep look at Yang He, and then leaned against the counter in the lobby to continue drinking his wine in silence.

"Since I'm already on the list, I'll know the cause and effect when I'm conferred the title of god, barring any unforeseen circumstances."

Bang bang bang.

The coffin of bones suddenly began to shake.

"Now that you are about to reach the Integration stage, how do you plan to overcome the upcoming tribulation?"

Lu Ya Daoist pointed into the air, and the movement of the white bone coffin temporarily stopped.

Yang He received a telepathic message from Daoist Lu Ya, informing him of the drawbacks of the Heavenly Tribulation. Starting from the Integration Realm, one would be constantly eroded, and in the Tribulation Transcending Realm, one's body and soul would be unable to move even slightly.

According to Lu Ya Dao Ren, it is suggested that a breakthrough be made after a change of dynasty.

Yang He did not hesitate for long and decisively chose to continue. Amidst the overflowing Yin energy, the Corpse Wheel Small World began to expand a new round.

"Haha."

Lu Ya Daoist couldn't help but chuckle, deeply impressed by Yang He's unwavering Daoist resolve.

They won't change their decisions because of external influences. Do they think the Chan Sect can have another immortal before the Investiture of the Gods ends?
Yang He's consciousness was crystal clear, and a massive amount of Yin energy continuously flowed into his body.

The so-called Integration Realm refers to the fusion of body and soul with the small world, indicating that the cultivator will be independent of the Heavenly Dao.

Under the influence of Yin energy, the small world of Corpse Wheel finally began to change.

Countless tiny spiritual roots have taken root in the flesh and bones.

The bottleneck of the Returning Void Realm was teetering on the brink of collapse, and the gate to the Integration Realm suddenly seemed vulnerable in the face of an immortal body rarely seen throughout history.

A cracking sound rang out from Yang He's Niwan Palace, and a crack appeared in the Corpse Wheel Small World.

Instead of being surprised, he was delighted. The crack was a sign of entering the initial stage of the Integration Realm, and the Yin energy of the small world circulated through the meridians in one cycle after another.

The Integration Realm has been achieved!

Yang He didn't have time to investigate further, because the path to physical immortality followed one after another.

A glimmer of hope has emerged in the path to immortality.

The life force, though seemingly weak, moves like a fish, causing the morbid lines to retreat wherever it goes, eventually sinking deep into the heart and becoming the medium that ignites the yang fire.

Boom!
My long-dormant heart began to beat again.

Yang He went through the process of his spiritual root sprouting again, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, and the lid of the white bone coffin almost flew off.

The three ghosts cheered and leaped for joy, assisting with the final step towards immortality.

It was unclear how much time had passed—perhaps just a few breaths, or perhaps eternity. Three tender flesh sprouts emerged from the top of the skull. The Corpse Three Flowers were even more withered than the Ghost Three Flowers, but at least they had successfully condensed.

Yang He's heart stopped again, but he still had a chance to live.

The physical body enters a state of constant equilibrium.

How should I put it, it looks like... an extremely fresh corpse?

Yang He opened his eyes, secretly estimating the time spent in seclusion, and then looked up at the sky. The Hunyuan Golden Cauldron showed no abnormalities.

"Let's hurry back to the main world."

"The fact that Daoist Lu Ya took the initiative to enter the Hunyuan Golden Cauldron also indirectly shows that the descent of the Sage is inevitable, and Daoist Ran Deng will definitely seize the Dinghai Pearl during this time."

Yang He's spiritual vision is currently stable, but how long it can last is a question.

"Fellow Daoist Lu Ya."

"It's alright, please speak."

"I will be in a deep sleep for a few days. Please keep an eye on my physical body for me."

"you……"

Lu Ya Daoist raised an eyebrow, but before he could speak further, Yang He's life force was cut off, and his body, which had just been full of energy, lay supine and dead.

[Your character, the Three Corpses Taoist, has died; the story has ended.]

He leaned closer to examine the white coffin and couldn't help but marvel at it.

Yang He was indeed the most realistic death I had ever seen. His body and soul were completely destroyed, and he might not even be able to be recognized if he were thrown into a mass grave.

"interesting."

.........

Whether you inherit the Three Corpse Taoist's gains or not, you will receive the following benefits.

[The Incomplete Body of a Corpse Immortal]

【Corpse Flower】

【Eighteen consecrated sea-stabilizing pearls】

[The head of the Five Light Immortals]

【The Corpse Wheel Minor World (Fusion Realm)】

[Spirit Beast Shell (Five-Colored Ghost)]

In addition to the above gains, there are also the resources obtained by the Twelve Golden Immortals from farming, as well as the massive amount of Yin energy stored in the Flesh and Blood Taoist Temple.

"Hahaha, the opportunity with Daoist Ran Deng is mine!"

Yang He couldn't stop smiling. As long as he didn't bring the Dinghai Pearl into the world of legends, even if Daoist Ran Deng knew, there was nothing he could do.

"However, to be on the safe side, let's find an opportunity to make Shen Gongbao take the blame."

Yang He narrowed his eyes and exchanged for eighteen Sea-Stabilizing Pearls.

He deliberately drew out a portion of the aura from the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl and then integrated it into Shen Gongbao's Heaven-Opening Pearl, before carefully storing the Yin Treasure close to his body.

"Even if that old rascal, Daoist Ran Deng, doesn't enter the Nine Turns Yellow River Formation, he'll still come to take a look. We'll give him a big gift then."

Yang He threw all eighteen Sea-Stabilizing Pearls into the Corpse Wheel Small World.

Rumble.

The sea area of ​​the small world is becoming increasingly larger.

With his cultivation level, he is not yet able to handle innate treasures, so it is not bad to temporarily serve as the yin vein of the small world, as the yin energy content is comparable to that of an immortal's dojo.

Yang He ignored the Corpse Wheel Small World and continued to exchange for the cultivation level of the Fusion Realm.

He had just completed his promotion, so repeating it in the main world seemed like a natural progression.

Even if one intentionally slows down the pace of breaking through the bottleneck, it will only take three or four days.

Yang Heshun also exchanged for the Corpse Three Flowers, and the Heavenly Dao Sapling above his head turned into seven flower stamens, but the three flowers of the Immaculate Ghost Buddha still had not bloomed.

The Corpse Three Flowers and the Ghost Three Flowers serve the same purpose: to assist in contemplating the Heavenly Dao.

On the contrary, the Corpse Immortal's body is somewhat different, and its incomplete state is mainly due to the fact that it has not completed the tribulation.

[The Incomplete Body of a Corpse Immortal]

[Because it has not been tempered by heavenly tribulation, once mastered, it can induce a state of suspended animation using the Corpse Flower technique, but the corpse energy is likely to become uncontrollable.]

The incomplete Corpse Immortal body can be stripped away by consuming Spiritual Vision.

"suspended animation?"

Yang He used his spiritual vision to decipher the so-called feigned death of the Corpse Immortal's body, and discovered that, as the name suggests, the body and soul fall into a deep sleep, and lifespan will no longer pass.

"A motionless corpse is a turtle, while an immortal corpse is a master of the art of survival."

If Yang He hadn't exchanged the items, the destructive power of his Corpse Qi Technique would likely have spiraled out of control, comparable to a drought demon, turning most of the Great Si territory into a barren wasteland.

The remaining resources were exchanged one by one, and most of them were piled up in the Treasure Bone Mausoleum.

Only the spirit beast shell, crafted from Kong Xuan's flesh and blood, was placed before them. With a little improvement, it could be used to house the five-colored ghost.

"kindness?"

Yang He looked surprised. While suppressing his cultivation at the Integration Realm, he summoned more than a dozen Eye Insects that hovered in mid-air, carefully examining him.

He reached up and plucked a strand of silver hair from the end of his hair, tucking it between his fingertips.

"Can't even the main world escape the heavenly tribulation?"

Yang He's lifespan has already exceeded a thousand years, and with his innate immortal body, even if he lives until his lifespan runs out, he will still look like a man in his prime.

"My tribulation is aging, or rather... decay."

The tribulations faced by cultivators vary, and some people die without even realizing what kind of tribulation it is, their bodies and souls vanishing silently.

Yang He could feel his flesh and bones gradually losing their vitality. When his skin resembled that of a centenarian, his internal organs would begin to rot.

"Fortunately, the tribulation of the Integration Realm is only in its initial stages; it will fully erupt when the Tribulation Transcending Realm is reached."

"Next, it's a race against time; the faster we become immortals, the better."
