Chapter 264 Divine Path and Immortals, True God Refining the Body

Li Wushou nodded slightly.

Just as he was about to leap out of the pit with the old beggar.

Inside the Three Immortals Pavilion, Chen Gou'er nimbly tossed the incense burner back onto the altar, then leaped off the square table and shouted:
"Let me out, I want to try that big turtle."

With a flick of his brow, the phantom of the Three Immortals Pavilion appeared, and Chen Gou'er couldn't wait to jump down from it, landing on the tattered back of the sea turtle.

"Hahaha"

With a loud laugh, Chen Gou'er crawled into the turtle's body through a crack in its shell.

The old beggar's eyes twitched, and he quickly called out:

"Don't finish it all!"

"Okay, okay."

Seeing this, Li Wushou felt a little better and, with the somewhat worried old beggar in tow, leaped out of the pit.

Above the swamp, the extraterrestrial god was still laughing hysterically.

As I laughed, I inexplicably found myself choking up.

Because of his parasitic relationship and the creation of his avatar, Li Wushou was also quite capable of empathizing with the other party's emotions.

It seems this extraterrestrial true god has had a tough time all these years?
Because of the shift in perception, the extraterrestrial god did not notice that there were two more people beneath him.

After a long period of emotional release, he finally calmed down.

With a thought, the flesh and blood on the star core began to writhe, and after a moment it transformed into a palm-sized flesh and blood figure, sitting cross-legged on the star core.

The quietly suspended star core suddenly spun around.

A rustling sound came from the bottom of the pit, accompanied by a few strange cries from Chen Gou'er.

The thirty-six star fragments that Li Wushou had just pulled out and thrown onto the turtle's back quietly floated up from the pit.

It drifted to the vicinity of the star core and began to silently revolve around it.

A massive magnetic field descended once more, causing the five elders who had fainted on the ground, along with numerous evil spirits, to rise and begin to rotate with the black star core.

Li Wushou watched this scene without interrupting. Through his avatar's perception, he knew that this extraterrestrial true god was going to refine a body.

The old beggar watched with interest, but had no intention of intervening.

So the two of them simply watched quietly.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, Li Wushou looked at the old beggar and asked:
"What exactly is this star core?"

The old beggar hesitated for a moment, then, without hiding anything, explained to Li Wushou:
"If the Earth God wants to elevate the Heavenly God, he needs to ignite a destiny star and hang it high in the sky. From then on, the places illuminated by the destiny star will become the places where faith takes root."

Elevating the Heavenly Gods is not the end of the divine path. The Heavenly Gods gather and refine incense and sacrifice to the Destiny Star. The Destiny Star gives birth to the Star Core, which forms the foundation of the God Transformation Realm. At this moment, the Heavenly Gods take another step forward and become True Gods!
Believers who chant his true name will possess immense power! Reaching this stage is actually quite similar to a Grand Venerable in the Immortal Path. Perhaps even more unpredictable methods.

Looking at the old beggar explaining earnestly, Li Wushou chuckled wryly:
"Do you really know?"

"Nonsense, I used far more notebooks to wipe my butt than Wu Zhuangyuan did,"

The old beggar rolled his eyes and replied, half-jokingly and half-nonsense.

Recently, Li Wushou has been in increasingly better condition and has become more and more opinionated. The old beggar naturally knows many of his previous statements and can no longer fool Li Wushou.

Actually, he wasn't just fooling people before; it was Li Wushou who was ignorant and Chen Gou'er who was brainless, and it was too much trouble for him to explain some things.

Moreover, often after you've painstakingly explained something, the two of them forget about it as soon as they turn around.

The old beggar then started rambling on about many things, because it was the least effort and breath he could muster.

Now that Li Wushou had decided to have a proper talk, the old beggar no longer intended to pretend.

Upon hearing this, Li Wushou smiled slightly. He had naturally noticed the change in the old beggar's attitude, so he took the opportunity to ask further questions.

"Does the realm of incense and deity correspond to any immortal realm?"

I thought the old beggar would speak freely, but to my surprise, after I asked the question, the old beggar pondered for a long time.

Li Wushou couldn't help but turn to look at the old beggar, and saw a trace of melancholy on the old man's wrinkled face. With a soft sigh, the old beggar slowly replied:
"Of course, once a star's core is formed, it has the potential to transform into a realm. This realm is different from the Taiji Dao Field; it is a complete world, known as the Divine Realm in the divine path. Once the Divine Realm is established, believers can migrate into it to multiply. At this time, the gods are comparable to immortals! They can be called immortals among gods, or even divine venerables!"

Creating heaven and earth?
Even just hearing about it, Li Wushou was shocked by such overwhelming power.

How vast is heaven and earth?
Even now, he still feels that building a Tai Chi dojo is already an extremely remarkable thing, let alone the heavens and earth.

Li Wushou's emotions inexplicably surged, and he felt a sense of longing!

If the ultimate level of the divine path possesses such power, then the immortals must be no less formidable.

Has anyone ever broken through to this level?

The old beggar nodded first, then shook his head.

"There probably is, right? It's just that they took the wrong path from the start!"

Did we take the wrong road?

Li Wushou was somewhat taken aback. How could someone like that get lost? How was that possible?

But looking at the old beggar's solemn expression, it didn't seem like he was just making things up.

The old beggar seemed to sense Li Wushou's doubt, but he didn't offer much explanation, only saying:
"When Huazhou raises the Heavenly God, you will see for yourself."

Li Wushou nodded. According to the old beggar, could this so-called "Heavenly God" also be one of the wrong paths?

Keeping this in mind, Li Wushou looked up at the extraterrestrial true god in the sky.

After calming his mind, the extraterrestrial god began the ritual of refining his body.

The magnetic force of the star core suddenly changed, and the star fragments surrounding it abruptly gathered together. Under the manipulation of the extraterrestrial true god, the magnetic force transformed into a star hammer, continuously striking and pounding the star fragments.

The gaps between the assembled fragments gradually narrowed with each hammer blow until they disappeared. In less than a quarter of an hour, the thirty-six star fragments were completely transformed into an irregular silver star about three or four zhang in size.

The extraterrestrial true god, who had been sitting cross-legged on the star core, suddenly stood up and drove the star core to continuously crash into the sphere. A large number of impurities were removed, and the star became dense and solid again at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The violent power and the rampant magnetic field stirred up the eerie mist above the island of evil.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Guided by the magnetic force, the five elders and numerous evil spirits revolving around the star core were like debris in a raging storm, their direction erratically swayed by the magnetic force.

A quarter of an hour later, the star, which was about three or four zhang in size, was transformed into a silver giant sixteen zhang in size as the star core was hammered.

The other party's craftsmanship was clearly better than Li Wushou's skill in folding paper donkeys.

This silver giant had a nose and eyes, and was very lifelike, except for a fist-sized hole between its eyebrows.

Li Wushou was wondering what the purpose of this void was when he saw the fleshy little man standing on the star core burst into laughter.

"The Stellar Body is complete, and the foundation of my divine path has been rebuilt! Hahaha!"

Then, riding the star core, he was about to rush into the silver giant's body.

Just then, the old beggar stepped forward, blocking the true god from beyond the realm. Incense smoke swirled around him, and magnetic forces all deflected away from his figure.

The extraterrestrial god was startled and manipulated the star core to launch an attack.

Li Wushou's mind stirred, and he was about to distort the other party's perception when he saw the old beggar already leaning forward and standing in front of Xing He.

His eyes suddenly turned golden, staring intently at the extraterrestrial true god on the star core.

"Come out, you can't afford to waste this star core!"

The voice was indifferent, yet it seemed like a decree from heaven and earth, as the flesh and blood of the extraterrestrial true god were slowly peeled away.

"Ah! My star core! No! My star core!"

The fleshy little man struggled incessantly, trying to burrow back into the star core.

He endured so many years of hardship and darkness to seize this star core, and now that he has finally escaped and is able to refine it, it has been stolen.

He is not willing!

He wants revenge!

He wanted to perish together with everyone else!
"Ah, I want to offer this to you!"

The extraterrestrial god roared wildly, but then his tone suddenly changed, leaving the old beggar slightly taken aback. He then glanced at Li Wushou and thought to himself that this belly god's ability was truly bizarre.

The extraterrestrial god himself felt nothing; he even took it for granted.

It was as if his escape was solely to offer this star core to the person before him.

This was his destiny, and he accepted it with joy!

So he stopped struggling and even cooperated in peeling his flesh and blood out of the star core.

The old beggar watched this scene, then casually waved his hand, and the mass of flesh and blood transformed into a stream of light, drilling into the hollow between the silver giant's eyebrows.

The flesh was crimson, like a blood-red full moon adorning the silver giant's brow.

Then, dark brown lines, like fascia, extended from the blood-red crescent moon between the eyebrows, covering the entire body of the silver giant.

The silver giant took a step and descended from the sky, standing next to Li Wushou at roughly the same height.

The extraterrestrial god cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Li Wushou and said politely:

"My name is Chi Xiu. I greet Fellow Daoist Li Wushou!"

Li Wushou returned the greeting with a cupped hand, showing great interest: "Greetings, True God Chi."

"I am ashamed, I am ashamed. The words of a true god are just empty talk. I am still one step away from being a true god, which is why I coveted this star core. Now that I have met the fellow Daoists of the Three Immortals Pavilion, I realize that greed is the original sin. I am extremely grateful to the Three Immortals Pavilion for taking on this original sin for me."

The old beggar in mid-air, holding up the star core, found Chi Xiuzhen's words quite amusing and replied:
"Of course, of course, the Three Immortals Pavilion is always happy to help!"

After speaking to Chi Xiu, the old beggar turned to Li Wushou with a smile and said:
"Please invite Fellow Daoist Chi Xiu into the Three Immortals Pavilion. I'll keep him company and have a good chat. Also, I have some use for this star core, so I won't give it to you for now."

Li Wushou nodded, and the phantom of the Three Immortals Pavilion slowly appeared above his head. The old beggar waved to Chi Xiu, and the two entered the Three Immortals Pavilion one after the other.

Li Wushou surveyed the swamp and picked up the five elders, whose movements had been disrupted by the magnetic field, one by one.

He then slapped the still-dazed figure and gave a light rebuke:
"I'll give you two days to devour all the evil spirits on Evil Calamity Island!"

The dark shadow shuddered and hurriedly rushed towards the unconscious evil spirits. It had a premonition that it wouldn't be able to devour them all in two days; it would be the one that was devoured!
Li Wushou then walked up to the five elders and silently created a vertical line between his eyebrows.

One is also parasitic, and two Li Wushou are not too many, so let's just keep them all together, so that it will be easier for the Suspended Mountain to be united and friendly.

A divided, suspended mountain is not in the interest of either the suspended mountain or Huazhou.

I'm doing all this for the good of the Suspended Mountain!

Li Wushou muttered something to himself, then quietly began to sense the soul movements of the other four people besides Elder Shen.

It wasn't that Li Wushou looked down on Elder Shen, but rather that Li Wushou had already parasitized Elder Shen while he was at the bottom of the pit.

There are now four days left until the end of the ten-day assessment.

Li Wushou took this opportunity to digest what he had gained from Evil Calamity Island.

Once we return to Suspended Mountain, the matter in Huazhou must be settled!
