Chapter 287 A Porcelain Venerable Points, and All Continents Return to One
Porcelain figure like a doll
He had big, round eyes, red lips and white teeth, but he had his hands behind his back, giving him a mature appearance.

Standing at about two feet tall, he appeared somewhat small in the central cave, but the moment he appeared, he automatically became the only one in the entire room.

Even the heavens and earth seemed to prostrate themselves at his feet!

As you slowly walk, the shimmering blue-and-white luster of the forty-nine pits gathers around you, forming a mysterious blue-and-white cloak that drapes over your body.

"I can't even see your true spirit?"

The blue-and-white porcelain figure glanced at Li Wushou, his previous casual expression vanishing, replaced by a hint of surprise.

He walked slowly to the cave entrance, his expression serious as he carefully examined Li Wushou.

His eyes widened in surprise and doubt, his brows furrowed, and he asked in astonishment:
What kind of being are you?

The moment Li Wushou saw the blue-and-white porcelain figure, his expression turned serious. Now, after hearing the other party's two consecutive questions, he raised an eyebrow, his expression becoming enigmatic, and asked directly:

"Porcelain vase?"

The porcelain figurine figure was somewhat surprised that Li Wushou had directly revealed his identity, and then asked:
"Have you heard of my name? How about we make a deal?"

After asking the question, the porcelain vase gazed at Li Wushou with an expectant look on its face.

Li Wushou's peculiar condition was also a novelty for the porcelain vase.

He had better study all sorts of bodies, otherwise the two ancestors of the Luotou clan wouldn't have been interested. What kind of body hasn't he seen over the years?

But I've never seen anyone as strange as Li Wushou!

His blood energy was as vast as an abyss, and his spiritual power was extremely refined. He even seemed to have the appearance of a person, but his true spirit was nowhere to be seen, as if he were an empty shell.
In the eyes of the porcelain sculptor, the physical body is merely a manifestation that carries the true spirit, and each individual in the world is unique.

Whether it's a human, a spirit, or even a so-called deity, everyone has a true self, which is the core of each individual.

Why do supernatural beings, deities, and even some cultivators become distorted?

Essentially, it is nothing more than the power that has obscured the true self and spirit, resulting in alienation.

Many people think it's a problem with the Dharma or the Tao, but in Porcelain Master's view, it's all because the true self and spirit are not clear.

Therefore, if it were anyone else, even another Great Venerable, they might not have noticed Li Wushou's state, but he was different; this was his Dao!

The porcelain master cultivates the true spirit's methods, and he makes transactions with all sorts of beings in order to study the secrets of the true spirit.

He believed that if there truly was a deity in this world, then that deity also possessed a true spirit.

As long as he sees the true spirit of the immortal, or deduces the true spirit, then he can cultivate his own true spirit in that direction.

When he achieves true spiritual power, he will become an immortal!
He was somewhat surprised that one after another, people who astonished him appeared in these small continents.

The last time I saw her was decades ago, when she was a little girl from the Shinto sect. Although she was a Shinto, her true spirit was pure and clear, and she was naturally in harmony with his path.

But the appearance of Li Wushou, in a sense, overturned his path.

This is impossible!

There must be something special about the other party that prevented him from recognizing the true spirit for a moment.

Porcelain Zun was already eager to study Li Wushou's body.

Looking at the porcelain vase with such eager expression, Li Wushou felt a little strange.

He didn't quite understand what the other person meant by "true spirit." It was the first time he had ever heard this term. Could it be another name for a living soul or a spirit?
Moreover, although this porcelain vase was slightly more polite than the likes of Zhu Liuli, only asking him what kind of being he was, the way the other party looked at him like he was a freak made him instinctively uncomfortable.

Suppressing the urge to smash his fist down, Li Wushou asked:
What kind of transaction does the porcelain vase want to make?

Upon hearing this, the porcelain vase smiled slightly and confidently stated:
"If you become my disciple, I will impart to you the secret of immortality, ensure your true spirit remains intact, and grant you eternal life even in the greatest calamities. What do you say?"

Inside the Three Immortals Pavilion, upon hearing the porcelain vase's words, Chen Gou'er jumped up and shouted loudly:
"Li Wushou, you've struck it rich! You've had another incredible adventure!"

The old beggar, who had just gotten up and lit incense, throbbed with anger upon hearing this. He then sat cross-legged in front of the incense table and closed his eyes to rest.

"Oh? What is a true spirit?"

Li Wushou's expression grew even more strange. Instead of answering directly, he took the opportunity to ask the question that had been bothering him.

The porcelain vase wasn't annoyed and quickly began to explain the true spirit to Li Wushou. Li Wushou listened with a puzzled expression, as this was the first time he had ever heard of such a cultivation concept.

After a moment's thought, Li Wushou continued to ask:

"Then what kind of apprenticeship gift should I offer?"

The porcelain vase laughed heartily, feeling a surge of joy.

"Why would your master want your things? Not only will I not want your things, I will also create a porcelain body for you that is second only to mine, containing the power of heaven and earth. In the future, you may very well ascend to a position of honor like your master and recreate the world."

Li Wushou nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his lips.

"Really? Then I really have to thank you, Master Porcelain."

"No, no, it shouldn't be called a porcelain vase. It should be called a master."

Before he could finish speaking, Porcelain Zun's eyes narrowed.

He discovered that Li Wushou, who had just been standing on the platform, had vanished from his spot.

With a thought, the void froze, and blue flowers appeared and wandered in the void, forcing Li Wushou's figure out of the void.

The blood-red aura soared to the sky, even turning the water vapor on the sea cliffs a blood-red hue.

This was the first time Ci Zun had sensed such unrestrained blood and qi power, comparable to that of a giant dragon, which made him even more interested in Li Wushou's body.

"Indeed, I should show my disciple some skills. Otherwise, you might think my porcelain body is as thin as paper. I'll stand right here and you can try to punch me!"

The moment he finished speaking, the blue and white porcelain in the void receded like the tide and re-gathered on the surface of the porcelain body.

The porcelain vase stood proudly before Li Wushou, its hands clasped behind its back.

Li Wushou's eyes flashed.

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

He said this, but his hands showed no mercy; he had already begun to gather his strength.

The power of his divine soul surged forth, and the power of heaven and earth within the area covered by his domain rapidly converged on his fist. Cracks began to appear in the void around his fist.

Huh? The soul that hasn't even reached the Nascent Soul stage is so powerful? It even surpasses that of a typical Nascent Soul, and the mobilization of the power of heaven and earth is extremely smooth.

The porcelain vase looked at Li Wushou, then surveyed the surrounding world, and a realization dawned on its mind.

No wonder Liu Qingmei and her group failed to overthrow the regime after such a freak emerged from this place; now even the eerie fog has been dispelled.

But even a Nascent Soul cultivator is nothing more than an ant!
The porcelain statue remained unmoved, quietly waiting for Li Wushou to gather his strength, and proudly declared:
"Come on!"

Two breaths later, a flash of silver light appeared, and a loud bang echoed through the void. The cracked void then pulverized Li Wushou's figure.

Porcelain Zun's eyes flickered as he stared at the space in front of him. There was no one there, but he knew that Li Wushou had arrived. What had just been shattered was merely an afterimage of Li Wushou.

That's fast, but it's still useless!
The blue and white patterns on the porcelain body slowly undulated, and the porcelain vessel kept its promise, neither dodging nor avoiding.

Li Wushou's expression was solemn, but as he approached the porcelain vase, a thought struck him.

The expanded domain of power suddenly contracted, and the power of heaven and earth gathered in the fist suddenly changed again, giving the impression of being isolated from heaven and earth and forming its own independent entity.

The porcelain statue, which had maintained a calm expression, suddenly changed its expression and exclaimed in astonishment: "Boundary Power?!"

While it was extraordinary for a Golden Core cultivator to possess the power of a Nascent Soul, he had seen it before. But possessing the power of a boundary? Even with his experience, this was the first time he had ever seen such a thing. This was not borrowed power, but rather genuine power that had been gathered and transformed from within.

The blue-and-white porcelain vase unconsciously accelerated its movement, and the porcelain vase became serious.

"boom!"

The blue and white porcelain, which was originally like a swimming dragon, slowly froze under the surge of boundary power.

The porcelain vase's expression hardened slightly, and it lowered its hands from behind its back.

Li Wushou's boundary power not only exceeded his expectations in quality, but also in quantity. At this moment, he could still feel the boundary power continuously gathering.

Upon close contact with Li Wushou's domain, the porcelain vessel sensed the flow of Yin and Yang and the Daoist essence encompassing the Five Elements within Li Wushou's domain.

How can one person cultivate so many paths simultaneously?
How does the other person's true spirit bear it?
Oh, right!

I haven't seen the other party's true spirit yet.

Then we really need to take a closer look!
Seeing that his blue and white porcelain was about to be broken, the porcelain vase was no longer willing to adhere to his verbal promise.

If it's all for showing off and ends up backfiring, that would be a huge joke. Mount Bulao values ​​the power of contracts; if it hasn't been signed and sealed, does it even count as a contract?

Let's talk about taking another punch. The opponent has already landed that punch!
Li Wushou noticed the porcelain vase's movement and a smile appeared on his lips.

Is he about to make a move? Li Wushou didn't mean to mock him; he was already quite satisfied with earning a punch.

Then, his divine soul power was no longer suppressed. This was the first time Li Wushou had fully unleashed his transformed divine soul power since his breakthrough in Wangxian City.

Originally, compressing the Dharma Domain to three inches was already the limit of Li Wushou's divine soul.

At this moment, as the erupting domain suddenly shrank to an inch, the boundary force covering the fist more than doubled in an instant!
"Bang! Crack! Boom!"

The void emitted another crisp sound as the porcelain statue's body was slammed into the sea cliff behind it. In the blink of an eye, most of the sea cliff collapsed, and the rubble fell into the sea, creating waves.

Above, the sky, which had just cleared, formed a ring of vacuum.

Chi Xiu, far away on the Suspended Mountain, sensed the anomaly through the dark, clear pool and mobilized his life star to focus his gaze on this area to investigate.

He initially thought it was the strange fog retaliating, but when he saw Li Wushou standing in the sky, breathing slightly, he was also astonished.

Looking again at the broken sea cliff, a terrifying pressure that seemed to shake the heavens and earth suddenly rose up. He knew perfectly well that Fellow Daoist Li had encountered a formidable enemy.

Who else besides the Immortal Mountain could cause trouble for Fellow Daoist Li in the Land of Misfortune?
Chi Xiu looked solemn and hurriedly gathered incense to prepare to descend his Dharma body to help Li Wushou.

The next instant, he saw a blue-and-white figure slowly rise from the rubble and float in mid-air, with dark clouds gathering in the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

Chi Xiu's expression changed drastically again. Something was wrong with this situation. It didn't look like an ordinary formidable opponent, but rather like someone from the Holy Domain had forcibly broken through the seal and descended.

Looking at the blue-and-white porcelain figure again, Chi Xiu finally realized what was going on.

Is this a porcelain vase from Mount Bulao?
The major upheaval is yet to come; it's just a small place like Huazhou. Is it really necessary for the other side to make such a fuss? The backlash from forcibly crossing the barrier is no joke.

Seeing that the opponent's momentum was growing stronger, Chi Xiu gathered incense while urging the ancestor of the Fu Zi lineage and the Dragon King to surround and kill Yun Xu Sanren.

"The Porcelain Venerable of Immortal Mountain has descended to the southwest coast and is confronting Fellow Daoist Li. Quickly kill Yunxu Sanren and rush to his aid!" The Floating Lineage Ancestor and the Dragon King, who were originally somewhat leisurely, changed their expressions drastically. This was because the Floating Lineage Ancestor naturally restrained Yunxu Sanren, and the two's encirclement and killing was nothing more than a natural outcome.

Upon hearing Chi Xiu's urging, the two of them were instantly flustered and incredulous.

The porcelain deity has arrived? Confronting the High Priest?
Each of these two sentences is astonishing, and together they create a dreamlike feeling.

Both were formidable figures, and in the next instant, they regained their composure and launched a full-scale attack.

Originally, they still harbored the idea of ​​subduing Yunxu Sanren and taking him into Xuankong Mountain, as it was no easy feat to cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage. But now they couldn't care less; they had no time to dawdle.

The besieged Yunxu Sanren was terrified. He didn't know why the two who had just been holding back suddenly started unleashing a barrage of deadly attacks.

He tried to escape but was completely restrained by the patriarch of the Fu Zi lineage, and it seemed that he was about to die and his life would end.

On the northern shore, Master Kongwu, being a Nascent Soul cultivator, had already killed the Nascent Soul cultivator from Linhai City, even though his injuries had not yet fully healed.

Originally intending to lead the Golden Core cultivators to subdue the surrounding areas, he was shocked upon hearing Chi Xiu's announcement.

They then sped directly toward the location provided by Chi Xiu.

Although he was alarmed, he also understood that the great change had not yet begun. Even if the Porcelain Venerable descended despite the backlash of the seal, he could not possibly unleash the power of a Venerable like the newly promoted Venerable of this great cycle.

As long as you keep bothering the other person, it won't be long before they automatically back off.

I just hope the High Priest can hold on!
Sea cliffs

Li Wushou gazed at the floating porcelain vase.

At this moment, the opponent was surrounded by an aura of power, and strange phenomena of heaven and earth were frequently occurring behind him. Thunder roared like angry sounds, wantonly venting his dissatisfaction with the porcelain sage.

Li Wushou sensed it very clearly; compared to before, the porcelain vase's aura had subsided somewhat.

It seemed that the other party was still wary and had not been blinded by greed, which reassured Li Wushou somewhat.

Inside the Three Immortals Pavilion, the old beggar quietly rose. Although this porcelain body was not the porcelain statue itself, the other party was, after all, a Venerable One, and still possessed the means to perish together with the porcelain.

Although the probability of a Venerable One going mad and dying together with Li Wushou is not high, the old beggar still gave a reminder:
"Don't be careless."

Chen Gou'er, scratching his head, was somewhat confused by the sudden turn of events. Hearing the old beggar speak, he asked first:

"What's going on? Why are they fighting all of a sudden? Wasn't he supposed to be passing on his immortal techniques?"

The old beggar rolled his eyes and ignored him.

At the same time, the porcelain vase stood still in the void, also sizing up Li Wushou.

Li Wushou's punch far exceeded his expectations!
At this moment, the porcelain vase, covered in blue and white porcelain, is full of cracks. If it weren't for the blue and white covering, it would have shattered long ago.

Although it was just an ordinary porcelain body, it was already indestructible after being tempered by the power of heaven and earth itself. I never expected that the other party could control such a level of boundary power.

This is beyond common sense!

Each strand of boundary force is as heavy as a thousand pounds; how could the opponent's physical body bear it?

Having sensed the strange phenomena of heaven and earth, the repulsive force in the void was growing stronger, and he knew he didn't have much time left to stay here.

Composing himself, the porcelain statue spoke earnestly:
"Your body is indeed extraordinary. This is your last chance. Sign the contract, become my disciple, and come back to the Immortal Mountain with me. I will still teach you the secret to immortality."

Li Wushou smiled slightly.

"Can a porcelain vase contain the secret to immortality?"

Porcelain Venerable's eyes narrowed. What ambition! But that's how it should be. If you don't want to become an immortal, why bother cultivating immortality?

"My True Spirit Technique can gather and refine an indestructible true spirit, imperishable through countless eons."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Wushou interrupted him, asking, "Can one become an immortal?"

The porcelain vase paused for a few breaths, then spoke slowly:
"Bulaoshan values ​​mutual consent. Since you haven't thought it through yet, I'd like you to go back to Bulaoshan and think it through before we talk again!"

The moment he finished speaking, the porcelain vase no longer hesitated.

The blue and white patterns on his body writhed and moved rapidly. He slowly raised his right hand towards Li Wushou, and the blue and white patterns instantly surged and converged towards his right index finger.

Behind the porcelain statue, the power of heaven and earth surged up, blowing away the dark clouds that filled the sky.

A gigantic cyan finger rapidly converged in the sky, stretching across the heavens, causing even the sky to glow with a cyan light.

The many Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators who were besieging cities and conquering strongholds in the Misty Land looked up at the sky and felt a sense of impending doom when they saw the giant blue finger converging.

They were terrified. Would this finger strike sink Huazhou into the sea?
The Venerable Master Kongwu, who was still on his way, felt a chill in his heart as he stared at the giant finger, wondering if he could catch it if he were to do so.

The final conclusion was that they could catch it, but whether they would survive was unknown.

He was still far from the sea cliff, and it was too late!

On the other side, the ancestor of the Floating Lineage and the Dragon King, who were riding the clouds, also secretly thought it was all over; they wouldn't make it in time either.

The cloud formation beneath them, transformed from the wise and shrewd Yunxu Sanren, was shaken to its core upon sensing the giant cyan finger, nearly collapsing in mid-air.

What kind of great power is this?
Nascent Soul? Or Grand Venerable?
When did such beings first appear in the Land of Calamity?
Throughout most of Huazhou, those who witnessed this strange phenomenon were filled with unease and fear.

But regardless of what others thought, the finger fell down without hesitation the instant it converged.

Suddenly, a dazzling starlight erupted from the southwest coast, and a three-headed, six-armed Dharma body descended abruptly, standing before the giant finger, its six arms raised high to meet it.

Chi Xiu finally arrived at the crucial moment and stood in front of Li Wushou.

But this finger strike was too sharp. The moment the two met, the hastily assembled Dharma body shattered and vanished inch by inch, as if crushing ants.

Li Wushou gazed at the starlight scattered across the sky by Chi Xiu's Dharma body.

With a thought, the flesh behind him tore apart, and the crystal-clear blood bones were torn out from the flesh.

Still in a daze, Master Xuan Yang floated towards his body along with the Tai Chi Daoist field, and the invisible golden elixir followed closely behind, landing between Master Xuan Yang's eyebrows.

The Blood Bone Dharma Image rose from the ground and stood behind Chi Xiu's three-headed, six-armed Dharma Body.

With his left hand, he held the power of the Tai Chi Daoist realm, which surged and churned, while with his right hand, he gathered the power of the realm with his own divine soul.

The Blood Bone Dharma Form took a step forward, and with both fists out, it directly slammed into the giant blue finger that stretched across the sky.

"boom!"

The entire Huazhou suddenly stopped, and many people lost their balance and swayed from side to side.

"Crack."

The sound of shattering echoed continuously, the giant finger covered in cracks, before collapsing into the sky.

Li Wushou's blood and bone dharma form was also covered in cracks, and the blood and bones were constantly writhing, rapidly repairing his body.

Beside it, the porcelain statue's body cracked continuously as the giant finger dissipated, its eyes filled with astonishment as it watched Li Wushou emerge from his flesh and blood body.

That person is definitely not human!
Is this physical body truly just an empty shell? But even if it is just an empty shell, where is his true spirit? Why is there still no sign of his true spirit?
The porcelain vase's lips moved as if it wanted to say something.

The blood-skeletal form standing between heaven and earth silently turned around, the gale generated by its massive body sweeping across the shattered porcelain vessel. The porcelain statue's body completely dissipated in the wind.

The turbulent clouds and flashing thunder suddenly ceased, as if they had lost their target for expression, and slowly dissipated into the sky.

Standing halfway up the sea, Blood Bone Dharma Image, Li Wushou looked around and felt a chill run down his spine.

Just a finger, belonging to the hardest bone in his entire body, almost shattered.

According to the old beggar, the other party had not yet unleashed the power of a Great Venerable, but was merely at the Nascent Soul stage and had compressed some of his power.

The lightness that had arisen from the breakthrough quietly dissipated.

Seven or eight days ago, the Invisible Golden Elixir, together with the Tree Goddess, completed the planting of trees on the north bank ahead of schedule.

After returning to Wangxian City first, Li Wushou began to use his Golden Elixir to accelerate the refining of the Dragon King's two remains.

Although he himself could refine it, the Dragon King's original dragon body had undergone severe mutation, and Li Wushou simply couldn't bring himself to eat it. When the invisible golden elixir entered the North Bank, he only prioritized refining some of the dragon's body.

With the help of the Golden Elixir, the speed is much faster.

In just three or four days, it completely digested both dragon bodies.

In addition to the gains from the Misty Land on the North Shore, not only has the perfection of his Golden Core Dragon Seed exceeded 30%, but his Divine Soul and Law Domain have also achieved another breakthrough.

The original ten-mile radius of divine soul perception has been expanded to twenty miles, and the coverage of the Dharma Domain has also increased from thirty-six feet to eighty feet.

More importantly, it's about boundary force!
With his divine soul fully activated, Li Wushou would form a world of his own within a radius of one zhang.

The remaining domains, after drawing upon Yin and Yang and the Five Elements to merge into this realm, will provide Li Wushou with a continuous source of realm power.

As long as his physical body can withstand it, he can continuously use the power of the world to kill enemies!
Based on this, Li Wushou even felt that he could fight against Kong Wu even without using his Blood Bone Dharma Form. This was also the reason why he dared to sneak over alone after discovering the traces of the Immortal Mountain.

But unexpectedly, the porcelain statue was almost destroyed by the porcelain deity's finger!
Li Wushou finally had a more intuitive understanding of the Great Venerable. Compared to the Nascent Soul stage crossing over to the Divine Transformation stage, the Divine Transformation stage to the Great Venerable stage was an insurmountable chasm!
With his blood surging, Li Wushou began to reassemble his skeletal body, sending the unconscious Xuan Yang Shangren back to the Taiji Dojo and storing him in his divine aperture. Li Wushou then began to put the skeletal body back into his physical body.

There are still many cracks in the bone, which will need to be repaired slowly later.

Not long after, Kong Wu arrived first, followed by the ancestor of the Fu Zi lineage and the Dragon King riding Yun Xu Sanren. Even Chi Xiu once again gathered a Dharma body and landed on the sea cliff.

Seeing the worried looks on everyone's faces, Li Wushou waved his hand and said:

"It's alright now. The porcelain vase has been returned, and the Mustard Seed Ferry has been closed. Huazhou's worries have been resolved."

The group stood there stunned for a long time, then bowed deeply to Li Wushou in unison.
"Thank you, High Priest!"

Li Wushou nodded slightly, and as he pulled the three blue-and-white porcelain sailboats from the sea, he said to the group:

"Let's complete the unification as soon as possible, settle the people in all directions, and start the process of converting the worshippers to the temple as soon as possible."

"Yes, High Priest!"

The crowd agreed, and then dispersed in all directions.

What they didn't expect was that the scene of the colossal finger that appeared in the sky and was ultimately destroyed by the Blood Bone Dharma Image was so shocking that many of the resistance fighters in the Land of Calamity lost their fighting spirit and surrendered directly.

As more and more people saw that those who surrendered were not killed, they also joined the ranks of those who surrendered.

In a short time, Huazhou was unified at a speed that exceeded the expectations of most people.
