The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 397 Unsuccessful Evolution of the Faith Body
However, the Immortal Emperor was far too incompetent, choosing instead to bathe in imperial blood and use the immortal essence they had accumulated to cleverly undergo Nirvana.

No wonder, the Immortal Emperor cultivated for millions of years and lived through at least five or six incarnations, yet he couldn't even control Wushi in his later years of his second incarnation.

Besides the fact that he hasn't successfully achieved Nirvana and can't unleash his full combat power, it's also estimated that his combat power has become increasingly weak due to his opportunistic Nirvana attempt.

No wonder that even after he became a Red Dust Immortal and joined forces with another Red Dust Immortal from the strange world, he still couldn't defeat Wushi. In the end, he was killed by Ye Fan, who had become a Red Dust Immortal many years later than him, all by himself.

However, after comprehending the Dao Fruit of his second incarnation, Li Daoming had to admit that although he became increasingly incompetent after his second incarnation, his being revered as the Emperor was not a trick, but rather a testament to his genuine strength.

The Second Immortal Emperor's combat power may be weaker than his current strength, but it is definitely no less than his strength when he first attained enlightenment.

If the Immortal Daoist wasn't merely a figure of faith, and if the era hadn't been so ancient that his faith had diminished to the point of being unable to fully manifest the Dao of the Immortal Emperor, he truly wouldn't have been able to suppress him so easily.

At this time, the method of refining a faith body was also deduced, and Li Daoming wanted to refine a faith body.

He established the Boundless Holy Court, ruling over the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and destroyed two major forbidden zones of life. He frequently preached, so much so that his faith was immeasurable.

It would be a waste not to use so much faith power to refine a faith body.

With this thought in mind, Li Daoming gathered his faith together.

Gathering boundless faith and spiritual power, this place is filled with divine light and auspicious colors, and the power of faith surges and swells, like an endless sea of ​​stars.

Looking at these powers of faith, Li Daoming nodded in satisfaction.

While this amount of faith is certainly not enough to create a faith body of the Heavenly Emperor level, it should be enough to create a faith body of the Supreme level.

It should be noted that he had only attained the Dao and become an emperor a hundred or two hundred years ago, yet he had already amassed such a large following.

If thousands or tens of thousands of years pass, and more faith power is gathered, his faith body will surely grow to the level of a Heavenly Emperor.

A celestial emperor-level figure of faith, sealed and preserved, will be the greatest foundation of the Boundless Holy Court and the greatest guarantee for his descendants.

With a loud "boom," Li Daoming moved, separating a wisp of his divine sense and casting it into the Star Sea of ​​Faith.

That wisp of divine thought was operating a special method, constantly devouring the power of faith. The boundless power of faith surged like a turbulent sea, and Li Daoming's divine thought was growing and expanding rapidly.

As that wisp of divine thought absorbed the power of faith and grew, Li Daoming also sensed the sounds of prayer coming from all directions.

"Homage to the supreme and boundless Heavenly Emperor!"

"May the Heavenly Emperor of Limitless Blessings grant me the power to cultivate and attain sainthood!"

"Heavenly Emperor is merciful, please bless my grandson!"

……

“No wonder everyone says faith is poisonous!” Li Daoming shook his head slightly.

These endless thoughts were impacting Li Daoming's last vestige of divine consciousness, and along with the mysterious connection, they kept echoing in Li Daoming's ears.

If he absorbs too much faith power, those distracting thoughts alone will be enough to prevent him from cultivating in peace.

However, since he dared to create a body of faith, he must have a way to solve the problem.

"Boom!" With a thought, Li Daoming's wisp of divine thought transformed into a divine embryo, igniting a brilliant Dao fire. The boundless power of faith, after being burned by the Dao fire, rose up in countless wisps of black smoke, and the power of faith became pure.

At this moment, Li Daoming transformed his thoughts into a blade, slashing down at that wisp of divine thought that connected him to the unseen world. "Clang!" The connection to the unseen world was severed, and Li Daoming was no longer affected by those distracting thoughts.

Having severed the connection, Li Daoming did not stop what he was doing. He moved his hands and created a furnace that swallowed the divine embryo and the endless power of faith into it.

The furnace of heaven and earth erupted, with countless rays of immortal light and auspicious colors, and endless faith and spiritual power were forged into the divine embryo.

Moreover, at this time, Li Daoming also took the opportunity to lay a trap on Faith, making it impossible for Faith to betray him.

After a long time, the divine embryo split open, and a figure emerged from it, exuding an extremely terrifying supreme aura, like an ancient god descending to earth.

With his faith body residing in the Boundless Holy Court and absorbing the power of faith to grow on its own, Li Daoming immersed most of his mind in comprehending the Dao of the Undying Emperor and perfecting his own Dao before emerging from seclusion.

He will not slack off in his cultivation, but he will also not go into seclusion for extended periods of time.

That's unnecessary! In fact, a balance between tension and relaxation is the way of cultivation.

After leaving the pass, he spent several months with Xia Qinghuang and the other women, and then traveled the world with them.

After relaxing for more than half a year, Li Daoming returned to the Immortal Mountain for seclusion.

In this way, Li Daoming would spend several years in seclusion to cultivate his spiritual path and then relax for half a year, leading a very comfortable life.

Time flies, and eighty years have passed in the blink of an eye.

"Just a hair's breadth away!" During his seclusion, Li Daoming suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with a hazy, chaotic energy, as if a scene of the world's creation and evolution had come to an end.

After a while, the strange phenomena subsided, and a hint of speechlessness flashed in Li Daoming's eyes.

Over these eighty years, he primarily comprehended the Dao of the Undying Emperor, perfected and sublimated the Three Thousand Laws Runes, and evolved the perfected World Dao Fruit and the perfected Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo.

He comprehended the Dao of the Undying Emperor and perfected and sublimated the Three Thousand Laws Runes. His progress was rapid, and he had already perfected and sublimated three more Great Dao Laws to the Extreme Dao level.

However, the evolution of the perfect world Dao fruit and the perfect evolution of the innate sacred body Dao embryo did not go smoothly.

His world's path to perfection was just a hair's breadth away. Although it was only a hair's breadth away, and it seemed that crossing that hair's breadth would bring him perfection, he knew in his heart that that hair's breadth was not so easy to cross.

Because the Dao Fruit of the World is different from the Dao Fruit of Chaos. While the Dao of the Ruthless Empress can be referenced, the Dao Fruit of the World can only be comprehended and understood by oneself.

He felt it would take anywhere from several decades to a hundred years, or even several hundred years.

The Dao Fruit of the World is just a hair's breadth away from perfection, and the evolution of the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo is even more difficult.

He evolved the innate sacred body and Dao embryo by relying on the essence and blood of the innate sacred body and Dao embryo obtained from Wushi.

However, that essence blood was not from when he achieved the Great Perfection; it was only from the Saint King or Quasi-Emperor level.

Although his essence and blood were revived after he attained enlightenment, he still found it difficult to comprehend the mysteries of the innate sacred body and Dao embryo from these essences and blood.

Therefore, his evolution of the innate sacred body Dao embryo was not smooth, and he felt that the innate sacred body Dao embryo he evolved was too incomplete.

At this moment, Li Daoming had a headache. It was not impossible for him to use the essence and blood of the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo in his hands to deduce the mysteries of the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo and evolve it into a perfect Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo.

But the time and effort required are definitely something he's unwilling to invest.
