I gained immortality in Full-Time Magician

Chapter 90 [The Four Symbols Divine Incantation of Taiyi Golden Flower]

The path of cultivation is always long and tedious.

Many people dislike studying, finding it a very boring and tedious activity.

In fact, doing anything repeatedly, even something you are very interested in, 365 days a year without rest, will eventually lead to aversion and disgust.

It's not that I hate studying, but that I can't get rid of my playful heart.

Magical training doesn't offer the addictive pleasure often described in novels; instead, it's a mechanical process of constantly controlling stars and increasing magical energy.

Just like setting up dominoes on a rugged road, every tremor of the heart can cause one to lose all control.

To unleash magic cleanly and efficiently when facing demons, this process requires dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of refining sessions; one must truly master it through countless trials.

This kind of tedious and boring thing has always been a force that hinders the progress of many magicians.

As the initial excitement fades, all that keeps them from wasting time each day is their desire to become stronger!

But compared to other magicians, Jiang Shang is very lucky.

He not only freed himself from the constraints of controlling the stars, but even his cultivation experience was different from others.

Imagine that after each day of practice, your spirit, soul, and physique are growing at a visible rate.

Every day is a new day!

This is especially true as you progress; every bit of progress is a huge improvement compared to before. For example, when you become a Grand Commander, you can kill the legitimate commander relatively easily without paying a heavy price.

Since returning to his apartment after buying the spirit seed fragments, Jiang Shang has devoted all his time to cultivating diligently in his small apartment. This is partly to prepare for the departmental competition, and partly because he has been craving intermediate-level spatial skills for a long time.

Compression! Time lag! Cracks!

These three spells are exciting to even think about.

With a wave of his hand, he instantly stopped the opponent's magic!

It's incredibly classy!

However, once you reach the intermediate level, the time required for cultivation increases dramatically compared to the initial level.

What would normally take several months to reach the initial stage of cultivation, now takes only a month for his space-type star to show signs of transformation, even though it would normally take several months for him to reach the intermediate stage.

The entire star was shrouded in a hazy glow.

Jiang Shang was overjoyed to see this scene. He had seen it many times before. The appearance of this phenomenon meant that the space-type star had reached the critical point of breakthrough.

For him, who possessed the [Langxiao Yundao Thunder], breaking through to this minor realm was a piece of cake.

Jiang Shang took out a fragment of a spirit seed and fed it to [Dutian Divine Thunder] to replenish the necessary energy. Then, he sat cross-legged and prepared to break through.

When Jiang Shang opened his eyes, he had already arrived in the spiritual universe.

Beside him was a lightning nebula crackling with purple lightning, and not far ahead was a space nebula shimmering with a hazy silver light.

Looking at the lightning-type stars orbiting him, Jiang Shang flipped his hand over, palm facing up.

Jiang Shang continuously drew out strands of lightning-type magical energy from the nebula and gathered them into his palm.

After reaching a certain threshold, the gathered magical energy suddenly changed, transforming into a bolt of clear blue lightning.

Seeing the Langxiao Thunder gradually taking shape in his hand, Jiang Shang's thoughts split in two, and he began to mobilize the space-type star particles.

The aim is to launch a pincer attack from both inside and outside, achieving a breakthrough in one fell swoop.

Normally, a mage needs to use their mental energy to break through the nebula level to advance to the next level.

The nebula will then use this power to expand, just as a cosmic nebula rules over the surrounding cosmic dust and endless darkness, spreading its light to farther places.

Just as a flood can destroy a dam, once a mage's spiritual waves surpass the endless wall of darkness and chaos around him and break through the shackles, the nebula will expand, the magical energy will become immense, and the stars will be sublimated!

"BOOM!!!"

A thunderous roar resounded throughout the spiritual universe.

Jiang Shang's Langxiao Thunder transformed into a thunder dragon and surged towards the space system nebula.

The stars inside the nebula also seized the opportunity presented by Lang Xiao Lei and crashed into the outer wall of the nebula.

A sound like shattering glass reached Jiang Shang's ears.

Under his gaze, the boundary of the space system nebula shattered with a deafening roar, and silvery-white stars flew off towards even more distant places.

The silvery light continuously spread across the space outside the original nebula, encompassing that area into its own territory.

At the same time, a surge of spiritual energy flowed from the spatial nebula, like a mighty river, irrigating the heart.

With the help of this power, the mental energy broke through the barrier like a chick hatching from its shell!

It has become more solid and capable.

If the original spiritual energy was liquid, then the spiritual energy of the fourth realm is solid!

Even after the breakthrough, a small amount of mental feedback continued to come from the space system nebula.

Sensing the intensity of the remaining feedback, Jiang Shang had a thought, and his permanent Emperor posture imitated the posture of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor in the visualization diagram, forming a hand seal.

The Divine Firmament Jade Purity Palace also appeared outside Jiang Shang's soul, protecting him inside.

Using this feedback force, Jiang Shang began to visualize the Great Emperor, focusing all his energy on observing and refining the halo behind his head.

A bright, mysterious light appeared behind Jiang Shang's head, just like always.

Unlike the flickering light of the past, this time, the light, fueled by spiritual energy, though small and faint, carried an aura of unwavering determination and indestructibility.

"As expected, the spiritual power quality of the third realm cannot be ignited into a halo, so I must reach the fourth realm!" Jiang Shang thought to himself as he witnessed this.

It then began to mobilize the power of thunder magic to mix into the light, fueling its growth.

Soon, the light settled behind Jiang Shang's head, radiating a mysterious and profound aura.

An insight also arose in Jiang Shang's heart.

【Taiyi Golden Flower Four Symbols Divine Mantra】!!!

After carefully digesting and comprehending the incantation, Jiang Shang was surprised to find that it was actually a method evolved from the Golden Light Mantra.

The so-called golden light is the manifestation of the Tao, the divine light of the gods!

Taken separately, "gold" signifies indestructibility, while "light" represents outward radiance, capable of warding off evil spirits, vanquishing demonic influences, and commanding divine generals.

Therefore, it is as strong and unyielding as gold, shining brightly and brilliantly, hence the name "golden light"!

This method is used to manifest the four symbols of heaven and earth while practicing the Golden Light Mantra: the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, the Black Tortoise, and the Azure Dragon.

This also corresponds to the next cultivation steps of the Primordial Diagram!

Once the complete visualization of the spirit and soul is complete, the next step is to construct the physical body!

Jiang Shang needs to start from the White Tiger's purification, then go through the Vermilion Bird's Yangming, the Black Tortoise's Yin and Yang, and the Azure Dragon's opening up, step by step building the foundation needed for his Dharma body.

After all the steps are completed, the first form of the Dharma Body—the [Primordial Azure Heaven Dharma Body]—will appear.

The Primordial Beginning is the lineage of Dharma, and the Azure Heaven Dharma Body is its name!
