Forge your destiny into a sword, slash your soul and ascend to immortality

Chapter 123 The Golden Lotus Dharma Form Forged in Blazing Fire Achieved

This time, Jing Qian chose to push his [Yang Qi] destiny toward the [Sumeru Great Dao Stele]. Amidst the surging primordial energy, he ascended directly to [Heavenly Mandate], reconnecting to the [Sea of ​​Primordial Qi] and gaining a new source of primordial energy.
【Destiny Type: Primordial Qi - Yang】

[Position: Destiny]

【The Sea of ​​Primordial Qi, the Pivot of Origin, the Source of Yang Qi】

His remaining lifespan is empty, with only four taels and four mace left!

As for this part of "fate," Jingqian had already determined the direction he would choose!
He became a disciple of Chunyang Tian, ​​and after many hardships, he obtained the Chunyang inheritance, "Chunyang Refining Immortal Sword Dao Book" and "Sword Carving Formation".

It contains a large number of extremely special sword techniques for cultivating "fate," which are perfectly suited to Jing Qian's sword skills.

For him, the last few sword-path "fate points" to fill his "fate" will be the best opportunity to greatly increase his combat power ceiling and the best way to continue to strengthen his own system.

From among numerous sword-wielding [Destiny], Jing Qian had already carefully selected four [Blue Blood] rank [Destiny]:
【String Slash】

[Rank: Blue Blood]

[Broken strings elevate to new dimensions, erasing all barriers.]

……

The Hidden Sword

[Rank: Blue Blood]

The star-shaped sword in its sheath gleams; the frosty blade in my sleeve grows cold.

……

Sword Cage

[Rank: Blue Blood]

[Sword energy weaves a net of magic, imprisoning the entire realm.]

……

[Sword Formation]

[Rank: Blue Blood]

Even after the battle lines break, the sword immortal's laughter can still be heard; it turns out, within each calamity lies another calamity.

These four sword-path [destiny] have a common feature: in addition to their sword-path attributes, they all possess the void attribute.

Even though Jing Qian cultivated both the [Yanfu Dao] and [Chunyang Tian] traditions, his foundation of cultivation still rested on the [Xumi] destiny.

These four [Destiny] can all be linked with [Sumeru], and can be further blessed by the title of [Lord of All Things Sumeru], making their power even greater.

More importantly, the four pieces together occupy exactly four taels and four mace [destiny], which can be perfectly integrated into Jing Qian's system.

Choosing these four [Destiny Charts] is arguably the most cost-effective option.

This is the best choice obtained after undergoing multiple examinations and deductions through the "Six Paths of Reincarnation and Three Lives Eye".

Therefore, Jing Qian did not hesitate at all!

He then took four purple and gold lotus leaves from the [Void Realm] to use as materials for refining [Destiny].

These lotus leaves were picked from the Sword Lotus Pond before he left.

The unique lotus pond within the Pure Yang Cave Heaven contains boundless sword intent, and each lotus leaf is a highly valuable sword-crafting material, perfectly suited for Jing Qian's use.

Anyway, Shangxi didn't have time to care about him, and Jingqian almost completely harvested all the mature lotus leaves in the [Sword Lotus Pond].

There are currently more than seventy lotus leaves, enough for him to reforge all four sword dao [destiny] to their peak in the future.

With all the materials ready and the route set, he completed the forging of all four sword-wielding [Destiny] in just half a day.

At this point, his "Destiny" system was truly complete, with all the gaps in his "Fate" filled, leaving no room for error, making it remarkably perfect.

The second step of condensing the Dharma image then began!

With a wave of his hand, Jing Qian transported the Void Furnace out of the Void Realm.

His action startled even the fat snake inside the Ghost Cauldron.

This casual manipulation of the "Life Stove" is unheard of!

Little did it know that Jingqian's "Life Stove" was not embedded in any earth vein, but rather based on its own "Destiny" and the grotto-heaven.

For Jing Qian, instead of using the Shadow Stove to connect with the primordial energy and enter the Void Furnace, wouldn't it be more useful to simply move the Life Stove directly into this Ghost Yuan Palace?

The Void Furnace took root and flourished, its interior ablaze with the intense flames of the Purple Eyes.

The vital energy within the main hall began to converge towards it.

"Young man, if you're broke, you can't be so ruthless, can you?"

"You've already packed up so many energy boosters, why are you still lingering here?"

"It wasn't easy for me, Snake Lord, to accumulate this fortune. How could you possibly take advantage of me by eating and stealing?"

Jing Qian, however, turned a deaf ear to this. He had the decree of "Blindness" in his possession, so it was only natural for him to seize the resources of "Yambuddha".

He made a hand seal, stepped into his own [Life Stove], and sat cross-legged in the raging flames.

The "Dharma Image Chapter" in the "Yambhava Cave of the Underworld Reincarnation Dao Book" is a special chapter that is separated from the cultivation knowledge of the "Dragon and Elephant".

It reviews the advantages and disadvantages of various types of Dharma forms and explains the many techniques and methods for condensing Dharma forms, all of which were optimized and improved by the great cultivators of the [Yamfu Dao] generation after generation.

Inside is a technique called "Lotus Platform Forging Technique with Fate Fire," which is already in its seventh revised version. It is specifically designed for cultivators with the "Heavenly Fate" to refine their "Heavenly Fate" and achieve a perfect Dharma form.

This secret technique has a very high threshold for execution. In addition to requiring complete control over a [Life Stove] of a certain rank, the entire process will also greatly deplete the vital energy of the entire earth vein, severely damaging its foundation. It cannot be used lightly.

For many years, disciples of the Yanfu Dao were strictly forbidden from using this secret technique in the Guiyuan Hall.

Currently, the sect is in decline, and no one cares about the rules anymore. The only remaining disciple is indiscriminate in his pursuit of results.

According to the deductions of the Three Lives Eye, this Lotus Platform Forged by the Fire of Fate is his only opportunity to attain enlightenment.

Therefore, after obtaining the "Eyeless" decree and arriving at the "Ghost Palace," everything was already predetermined.

Jing Qian activated the secret technique, and a massive amount of primordial energy was transformed into life fire by the Void Furnace, which then burned onto his physical body.

With the aid of a secret technique, the [Life Fire] is being converted into his [Life Essence] at an extremely high speed but in a very low efficiency.

Normally, a unit of vital energy, after being burned by the [Life Fire], takes a quarter of an hour to transform into a [Azure Wing Life Essence].

At this moment, under the effect of the secret technique, thirty units of vital energy can be transformed into one [Azure Wing Life Essence] in just an instant.

Although the losses were thirty times greater, the speed increased even more!

Under the effect of this secret technique, as long as the supply of vital energy is continuous, Jing Qian's life essence will be inexhaustible.

The [Life Fire] intertwined with the surging primordial energy, transforming into a lotus-like flame beneath Jing Qian's physical body.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the depletion of his life essence was completely filled, quickly reaching its limit.

Then, he ignited all of his [Life Essence].

A flame of enlightenment, containing all his inherent qualities and essence, began to burn fiercely.

The technique of "Forging a Lotus Platform with the Fire of Fate" continues unabated, and the fire burns ever brighter.

At that moment, Jing Qian threw all of his "Heavenly Mandate" and "Destiny" into the fire and began to forge them.

The raging fire was instantly suppressed, and for a moment, the many [Destiny] attributes shone brightly, like refined gold and gems tempered in the flames.

A vibrant Daoist aura began to emanate and gather within his sea of ​​consciousness.

A faint, illusory image of a Dharma body began to linger and coalesce!
At this moment, he possesses twelve [Heavenly Mandates], corresponding to eighteen [Destinies], which are as follows:
[Sumeru, Green Duckweed End, Unending Other Shore, Hell Scroll (44 Ghosts), Jambudvipa Seal, Entangled Karma, Bridge of Helplessness, Sword Transformation into Three Thousand Tribulations, Primordial Qi - Yin, Primordial Qi - Ghost, Primordial Qi - Netherworld, Primordial Qi - Yang]

The two lines of "[Fate is Incomplete]" correspond to a "Destiny Number" of 2.8 taels, respectively:
【Worldly Understanding, Tushita Heavenly Melting】

And nine [Destiny] tokens, excluding [Lifespan], each corresponding to a [Destiny Number] of six taels and eight mace, respectively:
[Nourish Flesh Buds (Purple), Tide (Purple), Vajra Aura (Purple), Purple Thunder Aura (Purple), String Slash (Blue), Hidden Form Sword (Blue), Sword Cage (Blue), Sword Array (Blue), Lifespan (Half-Gold 8 Days 6 Hours/Day)]

The terrifying "fate" of a total of 27.6 taels was divided among the five "spiritual forces," with a full 16.3 taels taken away.

Such terrifying foundations, even among the disciples of the two most top-tier Dao Ancestor lineages, [Pure Yang Heaven] and [Yanfu Dao], would easily rank them among the top five throughout history.

For the currently desolate [Yingfutu Realm], this can be described as a celestial being descending from the heavens, a true saint among men.

However, to fully burn through these "destiny charts" and extract all the profound essence within them is naturally a long and expensive process.

Jing Qian was prepared for a protracted battle. Even though his body was being burned by the [Life Fire], causing excruciating pain that constantly plagued him, and every minute and every second was extremely dangerous, he remained unwavering.

All the preparations were for this day; he would not rest until he had fully unleashed his full potential.

Time slipped by quietly!

On the first day, four thousand two hundred Azure Wing Life Essences were consumed to completely burn away the four new Sword Refining Dao Destiny Ranks of the Blue Blood Rank, from which a massive amount of Great Dao Intent was born.

This part of the meaning did not condense into a Dharma form, but instead turned and rushed towards other [destinies], transforming into accumulation.

However, these four [Destiny] elements couldn't even support a illusory image of a Dharma body.

On the fifth day, the cumulative consumption of [Azure Wing Life Essence] exceeded 50,000. [Nourishing Flesh Sprouts], [Tides], [Diamond Qi], and [Purple Thunder Qi] were successfully burned through, transforming into a massive amount of Daoist rhyme that filled the sea of ​​consciousness.

At this point, all eight of his low-level [Destiny] stones had been refined.

A mid-grade illusory image of the [Purple-Gold Blood Dragon Bodhi Tree] was condensed.

But Jing Qian was too lazy to even glance at such a worthless thing, so he simply ignored it and let it dissipate on its own.

He had already condensed all his divine sense into a single entity, waiting for the appearance of a truly powerful Dharma form.

On the seventh day, the cumulative consumption of [Azure Wing Life Essence] exceeded 100,000, which is more than a thousand times that of an ordinary [Dragon Elephant] cultivator when condensing a Dharma Image.

As he becomes more proficient in the [Life Fire Lotus Platform Technique], the conversion and consumption of his magical power are becoming faster and faster.

The two flawed paths of destiny, the Tushita Furnace and the World-Knowing Path, were finally burned through.

Numerous profound meanings of the Great Dao merged together, condensing into a high-grade [Supreme Immortal Refining Furnace], a remarkably powerful spiritual treasure.

But Jing Qian let it dissipate, and gave his assessment: Pull!
On the twenty-first day, one of the [Heavenly Mandate] finally succumbed to the scorching heat of the fire, its divine form disintegrated and transformed into boundless Daoist essence, which turned out to be the [Original Qi - Yin].

Nourished by immeasurable Yin energy, an even more powerful Dharma form is about to be born.

And the [Original Qi - Yang] followed closely behind, transforming into boundless [Yang Qi] Daoist charm, and rushed into this Dharma image.

Thus, a superior-grade [Yin-Yang Refining Furnace] Dharma image was born.

This single spiritual treasure embodies both yin and yang, achieving perfect harmony and immense power.

Jing Qian gave it a rating: "Not bad!" and then let it dissipate. At this point, Jing Qian had already consumed over a million [Azure Wing Life Essence]!

The fat snake beside it had once again emerged from the ghost cauldron, baring its teeth and glaring at the guy who had no money to steal its corner.

On the fortieth day, the consumption rate of [Azure Wing Life Essence] increased explosively again.

A total of three million [Life Essence] were poured into a bottomless pit.

The [Energy Glue] in the [Ghost Yuan Hall], which is almost tangible, has already been consumed by a full 15%.

This is the accumulation of the fat snake over three thousand years!

In return, Jing Qian's sea of ​​consciousness was filled with profound and boundless Daoist meaning.

It is also the final burning of the five paths of Yama's destiny: [The Other Shore is Endless], [Entangled in Cause and Effect], [Scroll of Hell], [Original Qi - Ghost], and [Original Qi - Netherworld].

And thus, a statue of the Ten Kings of Hell was born.

If this Dharma image were to be condensed, it could greatly enhance many of the methods of the [Exorcism] lineage, making it one of the most outstanding Dharma images of the [Yanfu Dao] Exorcism lineage.

Jing Qian gave his assessment: "He's got some talent!" but then set it aside.

The remaining five [Destinies] are all tough nuts to crack, and they have remained unmoved even after more than forty days of scorching heat.

Jing Qian could only patiently endure it!
Twenty days later, the consumption of [Azure Wing Life Essence] had exceeded eight million!

The aura of the five [Heavenly Mandates] had clearly weakened, but a last bit of power remained, like a nail driven into Jing Qian's sea of ​​consciousness, unshakable.

He had realized that this was due to his insufficient [Void Furnace] level.

The Purple Fate Furnace was ultimately just one step short!
He then channeled some of his power into the [Life Stove] for it to absorb.

Ten days later, the Void Furnace was bestowed the title of "Furnace of Sumeru" by the heavens, and officially broke through to the fifth rank.

Within the [Virtual Realm], a black cat's strength surged once again, reaching the fifth rank.

Its magical power was extremely condensed and compressed, and its body shrank even more, transforming directly from a large, fat doll into a young Devon, only the size of two palms.

Throughout the entire Yingfu Pagoda Realm, no one's cultivation speed can compare to that of Qili.

It headed straight for the kitchen with overwhelming momentum.

Now that it has a title and its strength and status have greatly increased, it must immediately show off and let even the gossipy [Stove Spirit] broaden its horizons!
The achievement of the [Furnace of Sumeru] finally brought a new breakthrough to Jing Qian's arduous journey.

The two great Yama [Heavenly Mandate], [Yanfu Seal] and [Naihe Bridge], were successfully refined together, and a massive amount of Daoist rhyme surged forth.

All of Jing Qian's accumulated knowledge was unified by these two [Heavenly Mandates], and an extremely powerful Dharma form suddenly condensed: [The Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Ten Directions of Hell: The Form of Witnessing Death and Supporting Life]!
This is an extremely powerful Dharma form that is at the very top of the sequence of the Great Dao of Life and Death Reincarnation.

It is the ultimate lineage of the Yama Path, which only a select few among the successive generations of Yama disciples have been able to cultivate.

The moment this Dharma form appeared, it instantly sent a powerful appeal to Jing Qian's consciousness.

He could barely control his desire to merge with this Dharma form.

He genuinely gave this image a very high rating: It's awesome!

However, immediately afterward, the two great sword paths, [Qingping Mo] and [Sword Transformation into Three Thousand Calamities], also collapsed directly, occupying a separate place in Jing Qian's sea of ​​consciousness.

An extremely powerful sword dharma image then condensed, becoming a three-foot-long cyan sword: [Sword that cuts through the river of time, transforming into endless calamities].

As soon as the sword was formed, it transformed into a beam of sword light and slashed towards the [Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Ten Directions of Hell, Witnessing Death and Supporting Life].

Although the power of the [Sword Severing the River of Time and Transforming into Infinite Calamities] is not as great as the [Six Paths of Reincarnation and Ten Directions of Hell, Witnessing Death and Supporting Life], it is full of killing intent, and it will not submit to anyone and will directly start fighting.

In an instant, Jing Qian's mind was in utter chaos.

Both major schools of thought are vying for absolute dominance!

The Pure Yang Sword Dao's [Heavenly Mandate] was insufficient in number, putting them at a disadvantage. However, the conflict between the two sides unexpectedly drew Jing Qian's natal [Spiritual Inspiration] into the fray.

The five [Spiritual Abilities] are: the Pure Yang Sword Dao lineage, which wields the [Six Paths of Reincarnation and Three Lives Eye], the [Azure Lotus Sword Box], and the [Life-Locking Needle]; and the Yanfu Exorcism lineage, which has only one [Yanfu Heaven].

That [Qi Li Divine Seal] was already in the identity of [Stove Spirit], and it just went off to show off, remaining completely neutral.

On this [spiritual opportunity], the Pure Yang Sword Dao once again had the upper hand. Back and forth, the two sides were evenly matched and it was difficult to determine who was superior.

Jing Qian felt like his brain was about to explode!

Both of his magical powers were his most important accumulated spiritual cultivation skills. Everyone else was doing great, but he was the only one suffering.

To be honest, there are many cultivators in the Yingfutu Realm who cultivate multiple lineages, but very few can cultivate both kinds of magical power to such a profound and balanced level as Jing Qian.

The two sides worked together for a full seven days.

During these seven days, Jing Qian's rate of consuming [Life Essence] did not decrease at all. He poured another million [Azure Wing Life Essence] into it, but he didn't even hear a sound.

The process of him condensing his Dharma form had already taken seventy-seven days!

The immeasurable consumption of [Life Essence] has used up more than half of the [Ghost Essence Palace]'s three thousand years of accumulation.

Whether it's the time invested or the resources consumed, it's thousands or even tens of thousands of times greater than that of an ordinary [Dragon Elephant] cultivator.

When the 81st day arrived, the 10 millionth [Azure Wing Life Essence] was also consumed, and the last [Sumeru] Destiny was finally successfully refined.

As the foundation for Jingqian's enlightenment, [Xumi] opened up an independent grotto-heaven and received the most resources, making it the true entity that could dominate his path.

The Daoist aura of [Sumeru] erupted wildly, and while the two Dharma forms were still locked in a fierce battle, a scene of the fisherman reaping the benefits unfolded.

It plunged headlong into Jing Qian's consciousness and merged with him on a deeper level!

Subsequently, Jing Qian felt an infinite spatial power extending outwards, causing his divine sense to surge and his Dao heart to explode.

Only then did the two Dharma Aspects realize that a third party had intervened, and they immediately abandoned their fight and rushed towards Jing Qian's divine consciousness.

The three great traditions of space, killing sword, and reincarnation have finally come together.

Jingqian felt a powerful sense of Dharma arising within his heart.

His divine consciousness actually transformed into a unique humanoid avatar!

This avatar grasped the three-foot-long green sword formed from the "Sword Severing the River of Time and Transforming into Infinite Calamities" in its hand, and with a single swing, struck the "Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Ten Directions of Hell, Witnessing Death and Supporting Life" with a single sword strike.

Suddenly, Jing Qian had a stroke of inspiration and merged his divine consciousness with the sword in his hand, and through the sword's edge, he merged into the [Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Ten Directions of Hell, Witnessing Death and Supporting Life].

At this point, all his power was combined and merged into one, forming an indescribable ultimate Dharma form:

[The Sage of Mount Sumeru wields his sword and opens the six realms of reincarnation!]
Jing Qian accumulated boundless power, consumed immeasurable vital energy, and endured countless pains, finally unleashing his full potential and achieving the ultimate Dao Dharma form!

At this point, he had finally achieved the Great Perfection of the [Dragon and Elephant] realm. He only needed to accumulate some more magical power to break through to the [Longevity] realm!

More importantly, this [Sage of Sumeru Holding a Sword to Open the Six Paths of Reincarnation] actually broke through the level of the superior perfect Dharma form and reached another higher realm.

It is the appearance of a sage, one in a billion, who can truly glimpse the pinnacle of cultivation among all the heavens and myriad realms!
Once the "Sage's Appearance" was formed, Jing Qian immediately fell into deep seclusion.

All his accumulated spiritual practice began a profound reshaping!
The [Life Fire Forging Lotus Platform Technique] not only did not stop, but it also absorbed the abundant vital energy even more rapidly, nourishing him.

For ordinary cultivators, while reaching the [Dragon Elephant] realm is important, the real qualitative leap in cultivation lies in whether they can break through to [Life Extension] and achieve immortality.

However, for top-tier geniuses like Chunyangzi and Yingshizi, only the Dragon-Elephant realm, which lays the foundation for the Great Dao, is the true prerequisite for advancing to the third rank of cultivation.

If the Dharma Image is not strong enough, then no matter how much effort is put into the subsequent realms, it will be extremely difficult to make up for the gap in foundation.

As long as the Dharma Image is strong enough, [Longevity], [Suppressing Spirits], and even [Earthly Fiends] and [Star Picking] will all proceed smoothly without any hindrance.

Therefore, all the efforts Jing Qian made in the [Dragon and Elephant] realm are, in the long run, the most valuable investment.

At this moment, the investment has finally paid off!

The attainment of the "Saintly Appearance" provides immeasurable blessings to his cultivation.

The Qingping Sword Box received the infusion of Daoist essence, and its rank soared, starting from the seventh rank and rising rapidly. Following closely behind the Qili Divine Seal, it eventually reached the fifth rank of Lingji.

Yan Futian was not to be outdone, and his magical power also increased greatly, allowing him to also achieve the fifth rank of Lingji.

Even the [Life-Locking Needle] ascended along with it, reaching the fifth rank.

The next step up is the fourth rank of "Star Picking," which corresponds to the celestial stars. Even with Jing Qian's powerful "Sage Appearance," he cannot achieve it in a short time.

Although the [Six Paths of Reincarnation and Three Lives Eye] has reached its maximum rank, its usable consumption has been reduced by a full seven times.

Currently, each day that one opens their eyes only consumes one year's lifespan, greatly increasing the cost-effectiveness.

After his advancement in [Spiritual Ability], his magical power increased threefold, reaching two thousand [Azure Wing Life Essence].

In terms of sheer magical power, ordinary Earthly Fiend cultivators are no match for him!
Jing Qian felt that there were too many mysteries in the [Sage Appearance] after his advancement that were worth exploring and deducing.

However, the process of advancement has not yet been interrupted. He temporarily put aside his exploration of the Dharma Form and instead set his sights on the [Lifespan] destiny.

As soon as he achieved the Dharma form, he did not hesitate to begin promoting the practice of [Longevity].

The Ghost Palace contains boundless primordial energy, and the Lotus Platform Forging Technique with Life Fire is providing him with countless amounts of Life Essence power.

Such an excellent opportunity for cultivation should not be wasted.

Jing Qian was actually multitasking, simultaneously deducing and comprehending the power of the [Sage's Appearance] while reforging his [Lifespan] destiny.

Two thousand [Azure Wing Life Essence] can be reduced to ashes with just a light touch and a simple wipe.

The speed at which he consumed his vital energy was even faster than when he was condensing his Dharma form!

Beside him, the fat snake was nearly insane!

Is this penniless kid sent by God to punish him?

Even when he was "sick" and promoted to "Star Picker," he didn't have the ability to waste his vital energy like this.

Its three thousand years of accumulation have already been consumed by more than 60%. If this continues, there may not be a single hair left!

……

When Jing Qian condensed the image of "The Sage of Sumeru Holding a Sword to Open the Six Paths of Reincarnation," strange echoes also appeared within the Great Dao, as if celebrating the birth of the Sage's seed.

In the present world, this manifests as a phantom of a saint, descending upon the [Yingfutu Realm] from a higher dimension.

All the cultivators within the entire realm, even those at the second rank, were completely unaware of this.

However, a certain force that was closely watching the [Yingfu Pagoda Realm] broke through their defenses!

Despite being strictly guarded and suppressed, the [Yingfutu Realm] not only did not decline, but also gave birth to a seed of a saint.

This is an absolutely unacceptable outcome for a certain faction!
Within a grotto-heaven, a one-eyed giant covered in beast scales sensed the presence and slowly awoke from his slumber, speaking:
"Tell Ah Huo to go ahead and do it. I will personally go to the temple of God Ego and settle the score!"

As the giant finished speaking, three incredibly imposing demons awoke from the cave and fled outwards.
