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

Chapter 185 Selection of Embryos

After hearing what [Celestial Aspect] said, [Earthly Aspect] nodded and said:
"We need more [Life Stele] to fill the [Mountain of Immortal Qi]."

"If [Yanfu] were to come, I'm afraid more than half of the current [Dongming Immortal Palace] would collapse."

"[Divine Physiognomist], what do you say?"

【Egao Shangdi】 walks the path of 【Qi Yun Shen Zhu】. Among the five aspects of "Heaven, Earth, Man, God, and Ghost", the one that truly dominates is not the 【Heaven aspect】 that controls time, or the 【Earth aspect】 that controls the void.

Of the five aspects, the [divine aspect] is actually the most important core.

This is because only the Divine Physiognomy can connect with the flow of fortune, see clearly the fluctuations of fortune in the entire Wuji Heavenly Dynasty, and understand the will of the people and the general trend.

Therefore, the entire operation of the [Wuji Heavenly Dynasty] has always been guided by the thoughts and ideas of the [Divine Physician].

In fact, the other empress incarnations had long harbored some dissatisfaction with the current Celestial Empire and wanted to make adjustments, but they were all stopped by [Divine Physiognomy].

This time, however, when faced with similar suggestions from the other incarnations, [Divine Physiognomy] had a different idea.

She spoke stiffly, as if mechanically:
"Internal strife within the family and country is most detrimental to one's fortune and morale, and is also detrimental to one's spiritual practice."

"The best solution is to turn internal troubles into external threats, export all internal conflicts, and transform them into war and annexation."

"After our [Wuji Heavenly Dynasty] monopolized [Bei'e Yinghuang Wuji Heaven], there were no more enemies within the realm. This is the root cause of the gradual internal strife."

"However, the size of a domain has its limits. If one wants to continue expanding outward from the [Bei'e Yinghuang Wuji Tian], whether to the west or the east, it will not be an easy task."

"This time, the trouble that [Yan Fuzi] wants to cause is still not a serious external threat and is not enough to win over the hearts and minds of the people of the entire Celestial Empire."

"However, this could be used as a hook to lure [Xi Mang Long Tian] into a battle with [Tian Long Yuan], which might have some effect."

"Before that, I'm going to disagree with you."

"It's just that the Wuji Celestial Empire is too large a business, and once a decision is made wrong, it's extremely difficult to turn around."

"This is a good opportunity; we might as well give it a try."

"[Tianxiang], we are transferring [Chronology] to you. Can you accomplish what you mentioned last time?"

[The Divine Physiognomist] asked.

[Tianxiang] answered decisively:
"No problem!"

[The Divine Physiognomist] then said:
"Then let's put on a good show with the [Yanfuzi]s!"

The five women then separated, each with their own goals and roles.

……

Ren Chong has finally perfectly digested the power of Time and officially advanced to the first rank!
From then on, he accomplished a feat that [Pure Yang Heaven] had never achieved since the fall of the [Pure Yang] Dao Ancestor.

Many of the most outstanding predecessors are stuck at the first rank, unable to advance an inch, not only because of the difficulty in obtaining a place on the [Clock of Time].

The fundamental reason why the cultivation system of the Pure Yang Heaven makes it difficult to comprehend the power of time and to pinpoint the location of the Clock of Time is that it is difficult to understand the power of time.

However, only a very small number of people can actually climb onto the clock.

Even among the lineages of the Dao Ancestor, less than a third can actually cultivate beings of the first rank.

Although the cultivation level of the Pure Yang Heaven is lower, its combat strength is no less, and its position remains stable.

After his promotion, Ren Chong leaped down from the Clock of Time and returned to the present world.

Zhu Yun and Luo Tian were both astonished to discover that Ren Chong had already been promoted, and were also extremely excited!

Ren Chong picked up his Creation Thunder Immortal Sword and inexplicably unleashed three sword strikes towards the unknown.

He then spoke to his two companions:

"I have ascended the [Clock of Time] and now possess a moment of [Time] all to myself."

"If you two can raise your cultivation to the [Nine-Character Stele] level in time, I can guide you."

"Let's go and see what kind of miserable state that guy [Yuan Yang] has become. We must make a good laugh at him this time."

……

Inside the Yingfu Pagoda Realm, the old white ox was still patiently teaching the young Tianyun how to forge a sword. Suddenly, it felt a strange sensation in its heart.

Then, it took off the sword-grinding cliff and plunged inside.

It strolled to the edge of the Sword Lotus Pond, where it saw that the sword lotus that belonged to Ren Chong had changed drastically. It had already borne fruit and become a full lotus seedpod.

On the lotus seedpod, three crystal-clear lotus seeds, like jade carvings, shone brightly.

The old white ox used his magic to take out the three lotus seeds, held them up to his face and examined them carefully; they were quite rare indeed.

Within this lotus seed lies a surging sword aura from Ren Chong, a top-grade, first-rank offering talisman, of immeasurable value.

After the old white ox retrieved the lotus seeds, it kicked its right foot with its left foot, waking up the little imp hiding inside its right hoof. It then handed the three lotus seeds to the imp and said:
"Please make this trip and deliver these lotus seeds to your master."

"This is really good stuff, tell him to use it sparingly!"

The little devil picked up the lotus seed, opened a spatial rift, and vanished in a flash.

After Ren Chong comprehended the power of Time, he understood why his sword energy appeared on the Clock of Time.

He now owes Chi Xiao another huge favor!

As compensation and protection, he immediately refined three [Sword Lotus Seeds] after his promotion and had the old white ox deliver them to Chixiao.

As for what kind of consequences these three lotus seeds might cause, he didn't care at all.

……

Jing Qian solemnly treasured the three [Sword Lotus Seeds], keeping them as his most prized possessions.

His reserves of [Offering Symbols], which had just been depleted, were greatly replenished and their quality was also significantly improved, greatly increasing his sense of security!

Whether or not he possesses these three [Offering Talismans] is equivalent to whether his ultimate skill's cooldown is ready, almost determining whether he should run or fight when facing a truly powerful cultivator.

The resulting shifts in the power structure and the struggle for interests are too numerous to recount.

At this moment, Jing Qian had only one last preparation left for the great change that was about to take place.

He has perfectly fused the [Dragon Elephant Relic] and [Flower Bone Butterfly Wings] together, and the spiritual essence of this [Banquet God] has almost been condensed.

Besides being tempered by the [Fire of Evil], he also needs to transfer the [Fate] of the [Nourishing Flesh Bud] from [Yanfu Heaven] and have it borne by the [Feast God].

And it was at this juncture that he finally reached the point where he needed to start refining the [Flesh Bud] technique again!
Jing Qian redirected the raging [Sculpting of Wisdom Source], directing it directly into his inner sea of ​​consciousness, illuminating the [Nurturing Flesh Bud]. Subsequently, within his mind, he freely depicted powerful immortal beings with physical bodies, serving as an image and reference for the advancement of his [Destiny].

At this point, his control over the [Shaping of Wisdom Source] has entered a new stage.

During the process of [Destiny] being formed, the guidance he exerts becomes even more important.

In the imagery he depicted, countless Buddhas and all sorts of immortals and gods appeared one after another, vying with each other to see who was truly the strongest in the physical body!

Baki Steel's power to destroy the entire globe might seem feasible, but against the Founding Titan, it's nothing more than a chewy piece of meat. And while the Founding Titan possesses the ability to move mountains, it's not even worthy of making Ultraman Zero's lights shine.

If Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan, he can smash Ultraman into a figurine.

But when faced with the real Monkey King, the Victorious Fighting Buddha, he was nothing more than a small demon who could be killed with a single blow.

As for Erlang Shen, who achieved immortality through physical incarnation, it's likely that only a real battle will determine whose body is tougher, that of the monkey or Erlang Shen.

However, none of the above can compare to the true strongest deity in Jing Qian's mind.

After he cleared his mind of all distractions, all his thoughts focused and directed towards his ultimate ideal.

I only hope that [nurturing flesh buds] can get on the right track and draw some strength from the imagery of the gods.

Jing Qian relentlessly exploited the [Sculpt of Wisdom], frantically burning his lifespan power to stimulate the [Nourishing Flesh Buds], connecting and merging them with a cluster of images in his heart.

The imagery was faintly visible, resembling a towering giant standing tall and upright, or perhaps the vast universe being nurtured within it.

"Pangu..."

"Pangu".

"Pangu!"

This was purely a reckless act of self-deception, but the [Sculpture of Wisdom], which gathered his boundless will and burned a massive amount of his lifespan, truly gave him a huge surprise!

[Destiny: Pangu Embryo]

[Position: Destiny]

[Swallowing mountains and seas to nourish Pangu!]

The [Flesh Bud Cultivation] destiny has undergone a complete evolution, resulting in an extremely unique [Destiny]!
A tiny, extremely delicate bud stubbornly grew on the tip of Jing Qian's heart.

A vibrant life force emanated from the tiny bud and merged into his body.

The instant the [Pangu Embryo] throbbed, Jing Qian's bones exploded with thunderous roars, his muscle fibers tore and reformed on their own, and every drop of his blood carried the primordial aura of the beginning of chaos.

Mysterious innate Dao patterns appeared on the surface of the skin, as if galaxies flowed within them, and the illusory shadows of mountains followed with every gesture.

“Crack—”

The floorboards of the Tower of Babel collapsed like tofu beneath his feet, not due to brute force, but because the mass of his body caused the earth's veins to collapse.

As the internal organs exhale and exhale, all the body's [Golden Root Life Essence] and all its [Immortal Spiritual Energy] reserves are drawn into a vacuum and transformed into nutrients to nourish the embryo.

At this moment, he resembled a walking humanoid singularity, and even spacetime seemed to be slightly distorted by this body.

At the same time, both "Blind" and "Cheap Life" downstairs looked up at Jing Qian's location.

These two powerful figures from the [Meat Feast] lineage were also shocked by the life force emanating from it.

Jing Qian felt as if a gluttonous beast had sprung up inside him, absorbing all his magical power without stopping and still craving a replenishment of energy.

He hurriedly opened the [Void Realm], took out the [Flower Bone Butterfly] shell stored inside, and began to devour it frantically.

The moment the Flower Bone Butterfly's body entered the mouth, it transformed into a scalding golden liquid that flowed into the throat.

Jingqian's teeth unexpectedly mutated on their own, growing fine serrations that chewed the sphenoid bone into stardust-like fragments.

With each swallow, the fleshy bud at the tip of the heart swelled a little more, and the spine arched like a dragon, bursting with each joint.

“Crack—”

When the last piece of butterfly meat entered his stomach, chaotic air gushed out from every pore of his body, and his flesh and blood briefly became transparent, revealing the Pangu Dao patterns entwined among his internal organs.

Only then did he perfectly accommodate the [Pangu Embryo], which resembled a ferocious beast.

This [Destiny] granted him the ability to increase his physical strength almost without limit. If he could absorb enough resources, he might truly be able to transform into Pangu.

With this [Destiny], [Feast God] finally gathered all the necessary elements, and only the last step was needed to perfectly orchestrate the disaster!
Jingqian's retreat has finally come to an end.

He forcefully merged the nascent [Feast God] into his own body.

His originally lean and solid body became three times fatter due to the power of the [Feast God], turning from a muscular guy with eight-pack abs into a fleshy bombshell covered in fat.

His appearance changed drastically for a time, but the power within his body also surged many times over.

Jing Qian leaped up and stepped down from the top floor, exiting the Tower of Babel for the first time in a long time.

Then, he moved his enormous body and headed straight for the Imperial Academy.

The auspicious time has arrived. He will personally participate in the selection of the Imperial Academy as Su Jing, vying for a place among the Imperial Academy students.

In this way, he can directly enter the Fire Source Hall, perfect his Life Essence power, and completely refine the Feast God.

After that, the real plan of the six Daoists of the [Yanfu Dao] began!

For Jing Qian, every step from now on is extremely crucial, and he cannot afford to make the slightest mistake.

Risk and reward go hand in hand. His brow furrowed and his eyes gleamed as he meticulously analyzed the most advantageous course of action for himself, ensuring that he made the best choice in every step that followed.

He had no doubts whatsoever, only boundless anticipation!

When Fat Jingqian arrived at the gate of the Imperial Academy, all thirty-six candidates for the academy had already arrived.

The group consisted of handsome men and beautiful women, nine out of ten of whom came from the "Top of the Tower" sect and possessed cultivation levels of at least the "Star-Picking" Great Completion realm.

Everyone turned their surprised gazes to Jing Qian, wondering where this wild boar came from and dared to trespass on such a sacred place as the Imperial Academy.

But Jing Qian didn't care about what others thought. With a sweep of his divine eyes, he saw that there wasn't a single "forbidden child" in sight. They were all cannon fodder, unworthy of having their names recorded.

He stepped forward and then fell silent.

Just then, a high-ranking official emerged from the Imperial Academy and spoke:
"You candidates have overcome countless difficulties to be here, surpassing thousands of your peers."

"You should all fight with all your might to secure a stepping stone to heaven."

"The Celestial Empire will rely on you as its backbone and will also bestow upon you the greatest opportunities and honors."

"Please come in with me!"

Subsequently, the thirty-six candidates for the Imperial Academy filed in.

Jing Qian also moved his body and stepped inside.

He could clearly feel the divine thoughts of many powerful cultivators landing on his body.

My own existence is so eye-catching.

But he was fearless. For the sake of advancing on his path, he was determined to obtain the position of "Imperial Son"!
