Chapter 467 The Primordial Spirit Becomes One, the Three Bodies Merge with the Dao!
Ten breaths later.

Ma Feng and the other three early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators were the first to succumb to the pressure.

Their incense refining couldn't keep up with Li Wushou's voracious appetite, and the four of them barely managed to hold on, following Li Wushou's instructions to immediately put away their spiritual bodies.

If they continue to worship, their spiritual essence will begin to deplete, causing them to simultaneously weaken.

Five more breaths passed.

The two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators quietly dissipated, leaving only Jinpeng in the arena, leading Luanxuan and Yeying in their worship.

Nevertheless, Li Wushou was still satisfied with the incense provided by the three men.

All three were born in Sparrow God Mountain and enjoyed a temple of worship in the Sealed Spirit Path. Although the majority of the temple was controlled by Sparrow Lord, the amount of worship they had accumulated over the years was still considerable.

One handful of incense sticks and gold beads after another, the three of them consuming them without a care in the world.

Of the three, the spirit of the Peng bird, who comprehended the Dao, provided the purest incense offerings.

According to the old beggar, the other party was qualified to offer incense at the altar in the Three Immortals Pavilion.

This was the first time Li Wushou had ever heard the old beggar give such an evaluation of the people outside the Three Immortals Pavilion!

The prayers grew louder and louder, and the Tree Goddess, separated by the Five Elements Seal, became somewhat delirious and struggled bitterly.

The old beggar glanced indifferently at the Tree Goddess, and the Five Elements Throne beneath him trembled.

The Tree Goddess's enormous five-element wooden body suddenly rose up, transforming into five-element patterns that were depicted on the back of the throne.

Then, a massive surge of the five elements erupted forth, and they merged back into one.

This moment was even more relaxed, free, and harmonious than when the Tree Goddess had just manipulated the Five Elements.

Li Wushou had no time for anything else, focusing his mind on devouring the incense offerings of the others.

No matter the amount, I accept all comers without hesitation.

After a short while, Luanxuan and Nightingale withdrew their spiritual bodies.

The spirit of the Golden Roc still holds its head high!

Li Wushou found the incense prepared by Jinpeng more palatable, as it possessed a refined Daoist charm, and the incense contained far less desire and prayer.

However, just to be on the safe side, Li Wushou still used Shiweitian to refine it once more.

Half an hour later, Jin Peng had used up nearly 90% of the gold beads he had accumulated over the years, and two-thirds of the stock he had brought to Zhongtian Pass from Que Shen Mountain had also been used up.

Jin Peng then slowly put away his spiritual body, as agreed with Li Wushou.

Although his spiritual body was not damaged, the refining process still left Jinpeng somewhat mentally exhausted.

However, Jinpeng did not rest. He looked at the old beggar above the cave with awe and silently guarded the outer perimeter of Li Wushou's three bodies.

All three figures of Li Wushou had solemn expressions.

The original triangular formation of the group has been transformed into a single-line arrangement due to the removal of the Five Elements Trees and the gradual departure of the Nine Spirits.

Upon closer inspection, it appears that Yuan Shen, after this massive swallowing, is now almost the same age as his original physical body, judging from its appearance alone.

If it were an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator, reaching this stage would surely be a cause for great joy.

Because this is precisely what many Nascent Soul cultivators strive for: the unity of the primordial spirit!

At this stage, the primordial spirit can completely merge with the physical body.

From then on, the primordial spirit and the physical body became one, no longer separate, which is also a kind of flawless body!

If at this moment, one's own Dharma realm transforms heaven and earth, successfully resisting the storm calamity in the void, then one will have achieved the status of a Venerable One!
Unfortunately, although Li Wushou's primordial spirit and physical body were almost identical, theoretically he had met one of the conditions for becoming a Venerable.

However, his most fundamental physical body has not yet completed its transformation!

In his understanding, the perfect state of his physical body should be when the formless golden elixir is fully filled and completely integrated into the body.

This also indicates that as his physical body becomes complete, his primordial spirit can advance even further.

Moreover, he had a premonition that this step would be extremely significant. But once he crossed it, it would reveal a profound foundation that far surpassed that of ordinary Venerables!

Therefore, Li Wushou's current state of perfect unity of primordial spirit is only temporary, and he is far from being able to directly evolve into a Divine Aperture Breakthrough Venerable.

Li Wushou had no regrets about this, because what he wanted to become was never a Venerable One!
The deeper the foundation, the better!
However, although the unity of primordial spirit and physical body was only temporary, Li Wushou was still very happy.

Because the transformation it brought about was real, and with the two working in harmony, Li Wushou had much easier control over the divine aperture.

Even the control over the Daoist spiritual body has become much more effortless!
The Blood Buddha, Dao Yan, and Huang Shigong, who had once amazed him, were no longer mysterious to him at this moment.

It seemed that even the gate to the Venerable Realm was faintly visible before our eyes.

With a thought, a quarter of the divine palace, including the one belonging to the Black Vulture and the numerous treasures that Li Wushou's primordial spirit had brought back from Zizhen and Wuxia, exploded.

Suddenly, a gust of boundary force swept up at the edge of Li Wushou's divine aperture, and the divine aperture suddenly expanded.

Such a commotion would have caused these dimensional forces to go out of control in the past, and would even have damaged and backfired on Li Wushou's divine aperture.

But at this moment, it was like a docile rabbit, completely under Li Wushou's mental control.

Moreover, this did not reach Li Wushou's limit!
However, after thinking about it, Li Wushou paused and did not concentrate all his efforts on refining all the world treasures at this moment.

Because he knew that this was not something that could be refined in a short time!

Li Wushou has undergone many changes during this transformation of his primordial spirit, and he still needs to experience them one by one.

With a sudden thought, the memorial tablet flashed with fluorescence.

Above the head of the three figures sitting cross-legged, a phantom spirit appeared and disappeared.

The three bodies then burst forth with golden light, the golden light like threads, thousands of strands, connecting to this illusory spirit.

Jin Peng, who had been on guard the whole time, felt his own Daoist aura slightly stagnate when he gazed at the spiritual body.

He seemed to see a vast world within it, and he seemed to see the Sparrow Soaring high in his mind.

His originally respectful expression became even more submissive, and his head drooped even lower.

This spiritual body is none other than Li Wushou's Daoist spiritual body. Within it, where the Golden Roc cannot perceive, Li Wushou's original spirit tablet is shimmering with fluorescence.

The golden light emanating from the three bodies was more connected to the spirit tablet than to the spirit itself.

The appearance of Dao Yun's spiritual body became clearer and clearer. Upon closer inspection, it was slightly different from Li Wushou, with more distinct features, giving people a sense of majesty and nobility.

At first glance, it inspires fear and makes one dare not approach.

As the golden light increased, the three seated figures moved closer and closer together.

The primordial spirit, flesh and blood, and the formless golden elixir are all connected by countless golden threads.

At first glance, they look like three sticky sugar cakes that have been pulled apart, with countless strands of sugar stuck to them.

However, at this moment, the three are not mutually exclusive.

Instead, they approached and bonded together under the guidance of the spirit tablet and the influence of the golden light.

The scene was bizarre and absurd, making Luanxuan and Nightingale feel a chill down their spines.

Jin Peng, however, seemed to be deep in thought. He had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and if he wanted to break through to the Venerable stage next, then the fusion of spirit and body would be inevitable.

This is different from the uncontrolled fusion of the spirit bodies of the people in the Sealed Spirit Path; it is something they actively did in order to reach the top.

The reason he hasn't tried it all these years is that he's not sure how much of his own consciousness he would retain after the fusion.

He had just seen that the Second Master's primordial spirit and physical body were one, so he was naturally moved by the scene before him.

What puzzled him was that while others had their primordial spirit and physical body merged into one, how come the Second Master had two strange bodies in addition to his primordial spirit and physical body?
He couldn't understand it, but the Second Master was extraordinary; perhaps it was just that he wasn't at a high enough level!
Just as Jin Peng was lost in thought, the three bodies that were stuck together suddenly collided with each other at high speed.

"laugh!"

The three bodies merge into one!
