The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 193: The Holy Spirit Stone Embryo Forms! (One more chapter is still being revised, estimated to be finished around 8:30 PM)

The seven blood lotus seeds, each one dazzling and crystalline, surged with boundless blood and flesh essence, emitting a fragrance like a divine medicine. It was hard to imagine that they were refined from the remains of a holy spirit, making them seem extremely mystical.

As soon as he held it in his hand, Ning Qingyi could feel a surge of desire within his body, as if swallowing it would bring great benefits, which surprised him slightly.

Having reached this level of the Invincible Golden Body Technique, all that's left is to grind it out. Only by constantly accumulating precious medicines and food for the physical body can one prepare for the next flesh and blood rebirth.

However, he had a vague premonition that if he swallowed the blood lotus seed in his hand, he could instantly shorten this process and face the next flesh and blood rebirth without any hidden dangers. No wonder it was a divine object that the Daoist Master was willing to spend tens or even millions of years refining!

"As expected of the Dao Venerable who created the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, his alchemy method is truly earth-shattering." Ning Qingyi showed an expression of amazement, then added with some regret: "It's a pity that it should have yielded forty-nine Blood Lotus Seeds, but now it's less than one-seventh."

However, when Ning Qingyi looked at the Dao Lotus that Dao Zun used to refine medicine, he felt that it was very similar to the Chaos Green Lotus in the Sea of ​​Wheels. Could it be that Dao Zun had come into contact with the Green Emperor before he took human form?

As he pondered, he used his Source Technique to collect the immortal liquid scattered in this Yin Land. This was a semi-finished product of the Dao Venerable's alchemy, but it still possessed heaven-defying effects.

Just a single drop can advance a person's spiritual practice, lay the foundation for a child's spiritual development, and lead to limitless future achievements.

Of course, it can also bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded; it is a precious elixir for saving and preserving lives.

Ning Qingyi carefully preserved these divine objects, then looked at the stone token that had fallen to the ground.

This is the ancestral artifact of the Holy Spirit lineage, capable of contending with the ultimate imperial weapon. Moreover, it contains the introductory material for the legendary Heaven-Mending Technique, which can compensate for the defects of Holy Spirits born prematurely, allowing them to gradually grow into true Great Perfection Holy Spirits. It can be considered the foundation upon which the Holy Spirit lineage stands.

Unfortunately, during the mythological era, the Holy Spirit Ancestor was killed by the Dao Venerable, and this stone token and other treasures were also sealed by the Dao Venerable. As a result, since the mythological era, only the Holy Spirits who are born at the Great Perfection have the possibility of asking the Dao and becoming emperors!

The stone is plain and unadorned, dull and without luster, as if it could be seen anywhere, without any mystical qualities.

Its surface was incredibly smooth, with no trace of any secret technique, and there were several finger marks on it, as if it had been crushed!
These are the fingerprints left by the Daoist Master!
Clearly, this divine artifact was nearly destroyed in the great battle of yesteryear!

Ning Qing hesitated for a moment, then reached out to take it. Nothing changed during the process, clearly indicating that the deity of this weapon was in the deepest slumber and could not revive on its own.

He unleashed the secret technique of the character "兵" (soldier), a secret art passed down from the mythological era, a supreme divine formula for controlling and composing rituals with soldiers.

Ning Qingyi unleashed a series of intricate Dao patterns, causing his immense divine power to surge. Gradually, the stone token emitted bursts of auspicious light, becoming increasingly dazzling. On it, countless tiny characters, resembling tadpoles, appeared, adding to its mystique.

"The Heaven-Mending Technique of the Holy Spirit Clan!" A look of joy flashed in Ning Qing's eyes as she continuously refined her weapon, using her divine sense to inscribe these divine runes.

The divine script was incredibly complex and profound. Even the incantation for the Heaven-Mending Technique was excessively obscure, comparable to any imperial scripture. Moreover, there were many parts of these tadpole-like characters that he could not comprehend at the moment.

But for Ning Qingyi, understanding it was a piece of cake.

"Jingle bell!"

A divine purple-gold immortal bell flew out from his body, and with the blessing of the Minor Destiny Technique, it exerted a terrifying effect.

A vast, ancient celestial sound resounded, and countless tadpole-like characters flew out on their own, briefly forming a blurry shadow that exuded overwhelming divine power as it chanted scriptures.

Ning Qingyi listened intently to each word and sentence, completely absorbed, and at the same time, his Five Great Dao Palaces began to glow.

Within the five Dao Cauldrons, the five Dao cocoons formed from divine objects seemed to come alive, trembling incessantly and emitting auspicious light. Chanting voices emanated from them, like a mountain collapsing or a tsunami crashing, sending shivers down one's spine. "Indeed, the Heaven-Mending Technique of the Holy Spirit lineage is extremely important to me!"

Ning Qing was thrilled.

The single path of cultivation in the Dao Palace Secret Realm became increasingly profound during his cultivation.

After obtaining the Feathered Emperor's Immortal Scripture and glimpsing the path he had taken to become the third emperor, he achieved great success in one fell swoop, laying the immortal foundation for the Dao Palace Secret Realm and transforming the five divine objects into true holy spirit embryos, which he then began to nurture.

The reason why the Feathered Emperor was able to succeed was because he nurtured the external world, was born with perfect all the ways, and ignited a Heavenly Heart.

The one nurtured by Ning Qingyi, however, was born incomplete and lacked a complete Dao. The two were worlds apart and could not be compared at all.

However, with the initial divine formula of the Heaven-Mending Great Art of the Holy Spirit lineage, Ning Qingyi was able to deduce a path to heaven, truly giving this single secret realm the potential to break through the quasi-emperor barrier, and even to glimpse the emperor realm.

The only drawback is the lifespan of the conceiver and the resources required for conception.

Ning Qingyi introspected the five Holy Spirit embryos and sensed their instinctive demands. With a thought, he took out the immortal liquid transformed from the Holy Spirit Ancestor and poured it over them.

"boom!"

The Dao Cauldron boiled, and the moment the Holy Spirit Embryo came into contact with the Immortal Liquid, it seemed to revive, frantically devouring it. A single drop of the Immortal Liquid, which was enough to allow a Saint to break through to the Saint Realm, was swallowed up in the blink of an eye.

"It really worked!" Ning Qingyi exclaimed with delight.

Time passed second by second, and as the Holy Spirit Embryo absorbed the Immortal Liquid, a miraculous change began to occur.

The embryo, which originally radiated countless divine rays and was incomparably dazzling, was gradually petrified and transformed into a true Holy Spirit Stone Embryo.

The stone embryo first outlined the feet, then the legs, and finally took on a human shape. Although the face was rough, it was very similar to Ning Qingyi.

However, just as it was about to be completely petrified, even though the immortal liquid had not been completely consumed, it stopped at the Baihui acupoint and ceased to petrify.

Ning Qingyi's expression turned solemn. After making some calculations, she threw down the blood lotus seed in her hand.

Once the Blood Lotus Seed entered the Dao Cauldron, it transformed into a drop of brilliant crimson blood. It entered through the Baihui acupoint, transforming into a long river of qi and blood that flowed throughout the stone embryo's body, radiating crimson light and ultimately becoming the flesh and blood of the stone embryo!
At the same time, the immortal liquid was also poured onto the Baihui acupoints of the five holy spirit stone embryos, completing the final step.

"Boom!"

The Holy Spirit Stone Embryo touched the bottom and connected with the Dao Cauldron. A great and resounding sound emanated from between them, spreading throughout the Dao Palace's secret realm.

In an instant, Ning Qingyi seemed to hear the joyful sounds of heaven and earth, and one strange phenomenon after another appeared before his eyes!

Moreover, boundless primordial energy emanated from the void, continuously surging into Ning Qingyi's body, cleansing his golden form, which gradually transformed into a glass-like garment, incredibly wondrous!
