Simultaneous travel: Shared Chaos Body at the beginning

Chapter 229 Placing oneself in a desperate situation, the seed of inner cultivation

As the power of the Fire of Rules continued to rise, it has now undergone a qualitative change, transforming into an even more powerful Fire of Myriad Paths.

The Dao Fire was as clear and pure as crystal, beautiful as a fairy, but it possessed a heat that could burn everything.

Meng Tian was engulfed by flames, his body burning fiercely.

The intense pain emanated from the depths of his soul, and Meng Tianzheng felt a strong threat to his life.

However, the vicissitudes of millions of years have tempered his Dao heart to an exceptionally strong degree, and he remained remarkably calm even in the face of such a life-or-death threat.

"The preparations were so thorough this time, why did it still fail?"

Meng Tianzheng's mind raced, and he looked inward at his body, examining every part of it from the microscopic to the macroscopic level, hoping to resolve his doubts.

"Wait, something's not right! My body is very different from when I first became a seed."

This introspection allowed Meng Tianzheng to quickly discover the abnormality in his body.

The strange Dao traces intertwined with every inch of flesh and blood, transforming into an exquisite divine diagram that covered the entire body, forming a profound inner Dao power.

The power of the inner path is isolated from the outside world, possessing a grand and transcendent quality, as if it were not of this world.

This was a power he had never encountered before when he first used his body as a seed.

With Meng Tianzheng's cultivation and experience, he quickly came to understand this.

"I see. Although the final transformation was interrupted, I have not failed on the path of becoming a seed. There is still a chance to succeed!"

As Meng Tianzheng watched the myriad flames spreading around him, he unleashed the inner power within his body to resist them.

Like gold being forged by a raging fire, under the scorching heat of the myriad fires, this inner power became increasingly concentrated, and the interwoven divine diagram condensed more Dao traces, making it even more complex and exquisite.

However, the price was that Meng Tianzheng's flesh and blood were consumed like firewood, until finally his skin, flesh, bones, and internal organs were all burned away.

But Meng Tianzheng remained unmoved, as if the burning body was not his own.

"The phoenix carries a divine tree to the phoenix tree, ignites the fire of rebirth, and seeks life through death. So am I."

Meng Tianzheng's Dao heart was extremely firm. Although Xia Yi had left him a way out, even if he failed to use himself as a seed, he would not perish.

But he didn't want to fall on this road again.

Even in death, the desire to seek the truth will not be extinguished.

When Meng Tianzheng was burned down to only half of his spiritual platform, his last thoughts flickered, and then the myriad flames surged, turning him completely to ashes.

With the target destroyed, the myriad flames dissipated, and the boundless power of heaven and earth also subsided.

All that remained was a handful of dark, charred ashes, gathered together like a grave.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew, carrying the warmth of life, and gradually dispersed the ashes of the calamity.

A strangely shaped, mottled gray-white seed of Dao emerged from the ashes of calamity.

The seed of the Dao remained dormant, as if dead and extinguished, enduring wind and sun within the embryonic world. After an unknown period of time, it gradually began to show some signs of life.

A few tiny, immortal golden spots silently appeared on the Dao Seed.

These golden spots, like whirlpools, actively devoured the essence of heaven and earth within the nascent world.

At first, this absorption was very slow, like a thread pulling a silken thread. Gradually, as the golden spots expanded, the extent of absorption began to increase significantly. And after absorbing enough of the world's essence, the entire Dao Seed transformed into a golden color, and then suddenly collapsed.

Countless golden particles, like dust, are scattered throughout this place, each one resembling the essence of a star, bursting with dazzling light.

Countless dust particles resonated with each other, transforming into profound and mysterious Daoist diagrams.

As all paths resonated and the laws surged, Meng Tianzheng's figure materialized from the Dao Diagram.

Within his body, a series of special "doors" slowly opened a crack, and instantly, a vast and unfathomable inner power surged, greatly enhancing his strength and elevating his life level.

"By sacrificing myself, I have finally succeeded!"

Meng Tianzheng wanted nothing more than to roar to the heavens and vent his intense emotions.

He rose again from the path he had once stumbled upon, overcoming countless hardships and dangers, even nearly dying. All that he sacrificed was immense.

And the rewards were equally substantial.

Taking oneself as the seed, not seeking from heaven and earth, but seeking from oneself, and keeping pace with the external world, on equal footing, this has much greater potential than fusing various perfect Dao seeds.

Perfect Dao Seeds are all nurtured by Heaven and Earth, while those who take themselves as the seed are themselves Heaven and Earth; the two are on completely different levels.

Furthermore, Meng Tianzheng's Dao heart was damaged due to his previous failure to use his body as a seed.

Now, his attempt to use his own body as a seed has succeeded, which has made up for his shortcomings in his Dao heart and even allowed him to reach a higher level, understand the Dao and see his true nature. This will be of great help to his future cultivation.

After the initial excitement, Meng Tianzheng calmed down, took a step, jumped out of the world embryo, and came to stand in front of Xia Yi.

"Congratulations on finally achieving your long-cherished wish of becoming a seed." Xia Yi congratulated you with a smile.

"I must thank Your Majesty for your help. Otherwise, I would have no chance to embark on the path of becoming a seed again, and there would be no possibility of success. I would have regretted it for the rest of my life."

Meng Tianzheng solemnly bowed to Xia Yi in gratitude: "I will never forget your kindness in helping me attain enlightenment. I will always be there to help you in the future."

"There's no need for that. Your breakthrough in using your body as a seed will also greatly benefit my research on cultivation."

Xia Yi lightly traced a line in the air with his slender fingers, and a celestial book instantly materialized. It contained Xia Yi's research on Meng Tianzheng's various studies on the path he was taking to become a seed during this period.

"On the Essence of the Path of Taking Oneself as the Seed," "A Comparison of Taking Oneself as the Seed and Merging with the Perfect Seed of the Way," "An Analysis of the Various Advantages and Disadvantages of Taking Oneself as the Seed"...

As Meng Tianzheng perused this immortal manual, he became increasingly alarmed. Xia Yi's research and analysis of the path of using one's own body as a seed was even clearer than his own, someone who had successfully embarked on this path.

Many of the viewpoints were even enlightening to him, giving him a deeper understanding of the path of self-sacrifice and benefiting him greatly.

"This immortal manual can be used to cultivate future geniuses who aspire to become immortals, greatly increasing their chances of success," Xia Yi said.

"Even so, it is still too difficult to achieve the path of using one's own body as a seed. Even the most outstanding geniuses would probably find it difficult to achieve anything."

Meng Tianzheng shook his head and sighed softly. As someone who had been through it all, he knew all too well how difficult this path was.

Even after experiencing this path twice, and making ample preparations, he still nearly failed.

Finally, he had to put himself in a life-or-death situation to achieve complete success.

"Perfect Dao Seeds are too rare and have great limitations. In the future, the path of using one's own body as a seed will become the best choice for the most outstanding geniuses."

Xia Yi's eyes were deep, as if he could foresee the evolution of his cultivation path in the future.
