Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 263 Azure Lotus Enters Divine Realm
Inside the spirit cave, malevolent energy permeated the air.

Sitting upright on the lotus platform, Jiang Chen was ethereal and pure, but a layer of barely visible blue aura appeared on his face, making him look quite strange.

At this moment, within his soul, the corrosive evil energy, refined time and again, was gathering and about to take shape.

Sensing this change, Jiang Chen's consciousness further activated his divine soul power.

"Congeal!"

With a surge of powerful divine soul energy, Jiang Chen compressed the Corrosive Spirit Qi, allowing it to condense completely.

With a whoosh, sensing Jiang Chen's pressure, almost instinctively, the Corrosive Spirit Qi began to run rampant. However, this was of no use. With his powerful divine soul, Jiang Chen forcibly suppressed the rampage of the Corrosive Spirit Qi, preventing it from causing any disturbance.

After persisting in this way for some time, a third-grade azure lotus platform appeared in Jiang Chen's soul.

The "golden body" in "incense casting a golden body" is just a metaphor and has no specific image requirement. After some thought, Jiang Chen used the bitter lotus as a reference and condensed the shape of a blue lotus.

The lotus has a special meaning in the immortal path, symbolizing the lofty and distant nature of the immortal path. In addition, the origin of the bitter lotus is quite mysterious, so Jiang Chen chose it.

At the moment the lotus shape condensed, a hazy blue light bloomed, and Jiang Chen's soul was instantly coated with a layer of blue, as if he were wearing an invisible armor, naturally giving rise to a warm feeling.

"It's done..."

With his soul at peace, Jiang Chen immediately knew that his golden soul body had been initially formed.

"Come!"

With a thought, Jiang Chen's originally formless will condensed and landed on the green lotus, gradually transforming into a blurry human figure. At this point, the warm feeling became even stronger.

"With the protection of this divine soul technique, I have far fewer concerns."

Sensing the changes in his own soul, Jiang Chen's face was full of smiles.

The soul is a special thing, both powerful and fragile. Although he has supernatural abilities and can recover slowly on his own even if his soul is injured, he still needs to be cautious in his actions.

"The upper limit of casting a golden body with incense is quite high. Although I used Yin energy as material to construct my own divine soul golden body, there is still room for improvement."

"However, it is not easy to forge a golden body. If I want to go further, I need more Yin energy."

With a clear mind, Jiang Chen had a plan for cultivating his divine soul golden body in the future.

Compared to the orthodox method of casting a golden body with incense, the improved method is undoubtedly more difficult to cultivate. The collection and refinement of Yin energy are far more difficult than those obtained through incense. It should be noted that although the power of Yin energy is close to the soul and can be used by the soul, it can also erode the soul.

Compared to the gentle incense offerings, the Yin Sha is undoubtedly a thorny spiritual flower; it may look good, but one might accidentally hurt oneself.

In fact, if Jiang Chen's soul essence were not special and powerful enough, it would not have been so easy for him to construct a golden body using Yin Sha as the main material. He would have had to further improve the secret technique and comprehend several methods to suppress and refine Yin Sha. The possibility of failure was far greater than success.

"Although there are still many shortcomings, it is a good start. All we need to do now is continue to improve it."

With a single thought, Jiang Chen's consciousness returned completely to reality.

It was at this time that the long-dormant Corpse Fighting event underwent a new change.

"Are you about to break through?"

Sensing something, Jiang Chen cast his gaze in the direction of the wooden fish peak. During his previous cultivation, although he had absorbed most of the power of the Eroding Spirit Yin Sha, a portion of it had been refined into the Fighting Corpse. While this portion of Yin Sha was technically dregs, it still possessed considerable value, especially for a zombie like the Fighting Corpse.

At this moment, having fully digested this portion of Yin energy, the fighting corpse broke free from its former shackles.

With a deep roar, the Yin energy surged like a pillar, and the Corpse Fighter successfully entered the Great Perfection of Qi Refining.

Noticing this change, Jiang Chen nodded. Although a Qi Refining Mastery Battle Corpse was no longer of much use to him now, it was still a good thing, as a Qi Refining Mastery Battle Corpse still held some status in Qingyuan County.

"After being in seclusion for so long, it's time to go out and see the world."

Feeling restless after a long period of stillness, Jiang Chen left the Spirit Cave.

Shortly after Jiang Chen emerged from seclusion, the demonic energy within Five Immortals Mountain surged, and all sorts of demonic creatures burst forth from the mountain, sweeping across all directions.

Despite being well-prepared, Qingyuan County was still no match for the onslaught from Wuxian Mountain.

"Damn it, how could this happen? How dare they..."

Within Qingquan County, looking at the demonic aura gathering in the distance like dark clouds, the face of Shao An, the head of the Shao family, was extremely grim.

Outside Muyu Island, the Taiping Sect Master killed the Red Fox with a single sword strike. He had thought that the demons of Wuxian Mountain would be quiet for a while, but he did not expect that they would launch an attack so quickly. Moreover, judging from their posture, it was not a small-scale skirmish, but rather an attempt to sweep through the entire Qingyuan County.

"According to the latest intelligence, the patriarch of the Hedgehog Demon clan, Ci Jinchuan, has advanced to the peak of Qi Refining. It is because of his existence that our defenses are on the verge of collapse so quickly."

"Patriarch, Qingquan County is too close to Wuxian Mountain. The defense line is almost collapsing. It won't be long before the demons of Wuxian Mountain arrive in Qingquan County. Please make a decision as soon as possible."

Seeing Shao An's grim expression, a Qi Refining cultivator from the Shao family spoke up.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attention to Shao An. With the demons sweeping in, the Shao family would be the first to be affected, and if they were not careful, they would face the calamity of family destruction.

Noticing the gazes of these people, Shao An took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Fifth Elder, take some of the family's young members out as planned, but remember not to make a fuss."

"Third Elder, immediately send someone to the Taiping Sect to ask for help and request Brother Taiping's assistance."

"As for the others, immediately come with me to support the front line. We must delay the offensive of Wuxian Mountain no matter what, and not let them break through the defense line so easily."

With a resounding command, Shao An immediately made a series of arrangements.

At this moment, facing the attack of the demons, if the Shao family wanted to preserve themselves as much as possible, they could actually choose to escape. There was still a chance at this time, but escaping was easy, while cleaning up the mess was difficult. Once the defense line collapsed completely because of the Shao family, the Taiping Sect would never let them go.

Although the demon was ferocious, that person's sword was even sharper.

Seeing Shao An like this, everyone felt much more at ease and immediately bowed in agreement.

Before long, the Shao family immediately sprang into action.

At this moment, besides the Shao family, many other families are facing the same predicament, and their coping methods are similar to those of the Shao family. The most important one is to seek help from the Taiping Sect.

Under these circumstances, several requests for help reached the Taiping Sect, all hoping that Jiang Chen could take action again and eliminate the evil spirits.
