Chapter 854: Chapter 169: Sustainability Exhausting the Pond
“An artificial Daoist Embryo Body? The Tianyuan Realm is indeed researching this.”
Although it is quite a coincidence, An Jing also knows that at the source of the Feather Transformation Dao in the Tianyuan Realm, such developnt is bound to occur.
With An Jing’s current status in the Tianyuan Realm, he can confirm that the Feather Transformation Dao can easily create bodies compatible with the power of the Purple Mansion True Person, nearly universal, almost every Purple Mansion True Person has prepared a ‘Battle Body’ for themselves.
And following the principle that ‘if sothing has beco completely universal, then the next generation has actually completed its developnt, and the following generation is in experintal developnt’, the Feathered Battle Body comparable to the Golden Core must already be in experintal testing by major companies, and the research and developnt of the Daoist Embryo Battle Body, as evidenced by the information in front of him, is already being studied by Heavenly Lords.
“Mysterious Vault Divine Puppet.”
Regarding this artifact from the Dao Courtyard, Subdue Evil has so mories. After so thought, this Sword Spirit recalled: “I rember now, it was a Divine Dao Giant Spirit Instrunt used to execute Heavenly Dao missions!”
“Mysterious Vault, also known as Cangtian, is a puppet acting as an agency of the Heavenly Dao. Of course, it is said to be the Heavenly Dao, but in reality, at that ti, it was directly under the Dao Courtyard, a Giant Spirit God that transforms the world, specializing in shifting mountains and seas, overturning the four poles, changing the world, and reshaping nature. No matter how barren and decayed the world is, after the remodeling of the Mysterious Vault Divine Puppet, it would beco more livable.”
“Many Small Cave Heavens and Small Worlds have internal natural environnts unsuitable for most humans to survive, so cultivators need to use Great Divine Power to transform the world. However, this work is too arduous and tiring; although the rewards are high, the standards are also high. One’s na would be left if the world transformation was successful, but if the quality is unqualified and problems arise in future generations, there would be accountability. Therefore, many Immortal Gods are unwilling to do such tasks, hence delegating this task to this puppet.”
“I see.”
An Jing nodded slightly, understanding that a divine puppet capable of changing heaven and earth could indeed inspire Daoist Embryo-level Feathered Battle Bodies: “Tianyuan Realm seems to have uncovered quite a few excellent things.”
“Tianyuan Realm doesn’t seem to be a place with such things. I guess it was uncovered in the Ancient Immortal Ruins.”
Subdue Evil pointed out another possibility: “The Ancient Immortal Ruins are essentially shipyards, also responsible for reformation and pioneering worlds. A puppet, while called a puppet, is typically a warship, transforming into a Giant Spirit God form to change heaven and earth only after landing on the target world.”
“Tianyuan Realm has extensively explored the Ancient Immortal Ruins, being able to excavate such things.”
An Jing purchased this thesis along with other information regarding the Feather Transformation Dao. He briefly studied it and found that this Changhe Heavenly Lord from Shouyang Mountain wrote it in a relatively straightforward manner.
For a Purple Mansion True Person, using Great Void Sheltering Soul, the heaven and earth as a furnace to refine one’s body, thus powers beco mine, I beco the power, then the power returns and transforms seven tis and nine rotations, becoming a ‘Pill’ nurturing the qualities of Immortality and Indestructibility.
This Pill, though existing, is illusory, ford by the condensation of willpower. To turn falsehood into reality and truly attain immortality, one must achieve the Three Truths of ‘Heart Immortal’, ‘Body Without Corrosion’, ‘Dao Without Illusion’.
Once the Three Truths are proven, then one can achieve Golden Essence, completely Immortal and Indestructible, thus becoming a person of eternal life, a Cloud Immortal.
After that, the Dao Fetus Nascent Soul will achieve a ‘Body of Dao’ beyond the Four Symbols and Five Elents, outside all relative conditions.
The key to this realm is Proving the Wonders, Breaking All Connections, Force Chopping One’s Dao, which grants the three rits of One Law Derives All Things, No reliance on other things yet being able to exhibit Divine Skill, and existing solely on ‘Self Dao’.
Once completed, the essence of a cultivator transcends above heaven and earth, completely becoming an omnipresent ‘Daoist Form’. Even if the body perishes and the spirit falls, as long as the corresponding Great Dao tradition continues to circulate, they can always return to the world.
Feather Transformation Dao can universalize the Battle Body in the Purple Mansion Realm because, with Tianyuan Realm’s technology, they can already use Great Void techniques to artificially anchor a void, using a Feathered Body as a Small World, then refining the Feathered Primordial Spirit, condensing a thread of immortal nature at the central Primordial Spirit chip.
This point An Jing can see from the armor of the Fengdu Guards as well—the Fengdu Guards use it rely for Qi Refinent, yet they can simulate an artificial Small Cave Heaven. If it were the war armor of a Purple Mansion True Person, simulating a Small World would be a piece of cake.
But the Golden Core Realm poses a bit of a problem because the ‘Three Truths’ are progressive. Heart, body, and Dao must be consistent from start to finish, aning that the Feathered Battle Body of a Golden Core True Monarch is essentially their Golden Core; each person can only have one, and while they may tweak and adjust their own design, it is essentially an extrely powerful separated body, and can’t be casually lost.
Despite not having the greatest advantage, it can still be created. Having a separate body per person in the sa level of Magical Combat is a significant advantage, but the Daoist Embryo Battle Body is even more difficult because the essence of the Dao Embryo is ‘no reliance on other things, divine skill self-sufficient, no need for Skills, Daoavily existing’.
And theoretically, the Feather Transformation Dao, as a path dependent on external things, cannot possibly achieve the Dao Embryo.
However, Changhe Heavenly Lord posed a question.
What is the definition of self?
Experints have shown that Tianyuan Human Clan is born with souls, but if we argue sequence, it is first the body then the soul. Then, can it be said that compared to the body, the soul is an external life?
And later absorbed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fiends, acquired knowledge, skills, understanding of the world’s affairs, are they not all part of the self, but external sources, later derived things?
Not so. A person’s life and nature are complentary, though there are origins and strengths, they are all part of the self. The process of understanding through knowledge learning is also a process of transforming external objects into self-possession. All things are not immutable, but constantly changing and transforming.
Mysterious Vault Divine Puppet, as an artificial object with the power to change heaven and earth, mastering Great Dao Divine Skills, why can it exert Divine Skills that even general Dao Embryo Heavenly Lords wouldn’t? The answer is simple because the Mysterious Vault Divine Puppet, as an artificial external object, after landing on the target world, integrates into the local Heavenly Dao, rging its self into the local world, becoming a local world force, whether it be a volcanic eruption or a great storm.
The Mysterious Vault Divine Puppet will first ‘abandon itself’, taking the warship body as a seed embedded into the heaven and earth, then promoting the growth and expansion of this world’s size, then again nurturing its birth from the Heaven and Earth Dao.
In this way, the power of heaven and earth becos its power.
Although it is an agent of the Heavenly Dao, the heaven and earth need to be transford by it.
The Feathered Battle Body at the Dao Fetus level, the principle should also be like this.
Changhe Heavenly Lord pointed out that at this level, the Feathered Battle Body can no longer be ‘completed first, then inhabited’. It should first create the ‘Dao Seed’ of the Feathered Battle Body, then integrate it into the cultivator’s Great Dao, using it as the core to create a ‘Feathered Small World’, and then extract the necessary materials from this small world to assemble the battle body.
In this way, it ets the standards of “Self is All Things”, “No reliance on other things”, and “No Reliance Divine Power”!
Moreover, the essence of extracting matter from the small world to form one’s body is the sa process as the Dao Fetus being reborn from the Great Heaven and Earth Dao, recondensing the Dao body!
Upon reading this, An Jing was stunned.
“Isn’t this just Martial Arts?”
An Jing read it several tis and found that the Dao Fetus level of Feather Transformation, in essence, is about creating an inner world, severing external causation, and using the materials from one’s own world to construct one’s battle body. Thus, the Yuhua Cultivator is no longer rely a cultivator but becos the will of a world, with the battle body being its agent, a more powerful “Mysterious Vault Divine Puppet”!
Changhe Heavenly Lord’s reasoning is indeed feasible. Otherwise, Endless Heavens wouldn’t tacitly allow its sale, indicating there’s truly potential for success.
However…
Martial Arts are just like this!
The “Daoist Palace Pure Yang” in Martial Arts is the derivation of the inner array realm into a Daoist palace, where pure belief condenses into the Pure Yang Spirit. This spirit inhabits the Dao Palace, governing the myriad Dao of the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man. Once it fully controls the Dao Palace, the Pure Yang Spirit can ‘ascend’ from the inner small heaven to the great heaven!
Chenyinzi’s failure to break through Pure Yang was due to his Pure Yang Spirit not being strong enough to command the myriad Dao of the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man, causing it to collapse upon ascension, resulting in the shattering of his foundational Heart Mirror.
In the Feather Transformation Dao’s terms, it was due to insufficient puppet materials. If there was a strong enough backing to provide adequate divine materials, even if failed, it wouldn’t result in backlash.
“If it were a Purple Mansion Feathered Battle Body, Martial Arts naturally have a small heaven inside, there’s no need to simulate with war armor…”
An Jing murmured, “If it were a Golden Core Feathered Battle Body, for a Martial Artist, it’s rely Great Heaven’s Sanctification not manifesting the inner Cave Heaven Spirit Land but a Feathered Battle Body that contains Heaven and Earth True Intent… If the Feathered Battle Body dissipates, it would still transform into Spirit Land, rely adding one more step in the process.”
“And the Dao Fetus Battle Body converges at the sa point. In essence, it’s about strengthening the Pure Yang Spirit through various thods, which is an advanced cultivation thod in Martial Arts!”
“Immortal Martial Arts can truly be cultivated together, especially the Feather Transformation Dao, perfectly complent each other!”
An Jing vaguely understood why the Heavenly Dao warned him after discussing the Feather Transformation Dao—if this path is given to those cultivation Qi Cultivators, it’s nothing more than enhancing their combat capabilities, making them less human.
But if given to Martial Artists already prone to abandoning humanity, it would truly spiral out of control, making these Martial Artists nearly impossible to kill in battles. In chaotic fights, they would first destroy the battle body, then attack the main body. If Martial Cultivators are given enough ti to repair and restore the battle body with their inner array realm, it practically equates to having an extra life.
Martial Artists are killed happily but don’t die, yet where does the Heavenly Dao compensate for the sacrificed body’s return to Heaven and Earth?
The reason why the Heavenly Dao warning was not severe is also due to the difficulty of Martial Artists dying.
Ultimately, creating a battle body requires Feather Transformation cultivators to expend substantial materials and divine skills. For Martial Artists, it translates into the essence of their inner array realm.
Damage to the battle body leads to the spiritual fiend returning to Heaven and Earth, essentially ans losing part of a Martial Artist. If many perish, the efficiency isn’t bad either.
The stronger the Martial Artist, the harder they are to nurture. Whether by natural growth or sect formation, creating a Divine Repository True Man requires at least decades, and a Manifest Saint True Monarch needs even longer.
When they die, they indeed compensate the Heavenly Dao generously, but it ans taking decades to centuries to cultivate new Martial Artists again.
What if everyone practices the Feather Transformation Dao?
Not to ntion, without the essential crisis of life and death, battles might be fiercer—a Martial Artist losing their battle body, even if injured to the core, can recover within a few years and continue the battle.
If they lose their battle body four or five tis, essentially equating to losing a True Person, yet for Martial Artists, they still live and can create new battle bodies!
It’s almost like a plant, being cut and regrowing, nearly endless!
Of course, if Martial Artist’s battle body loss is high, they would indeed die exhausted, but by then, they would’ve returned to Heaven and Earth.
To the Heavenly Dao, under the sa conditions, practicing the Feather Transformation Dao theoretically yields more for Martial Artists!
This is the difference between exhausting resources recklessly and sustainable resource exhaustion.
As to whether this is truly the case… An Jing couldn’t be bothered to guess.
Ultimately, the reaction speed of the Heavenly Dao is exponentially greater than an ordinary person’s. If anything does happen, it would strike with lightning; deal with it once you get struck.
