The first to advance to the Mahayana Realm was the Artifact Core Body, primarily benefiting from the Immortal Organs. The Externalized Dharma Body had already exceeded forty thousand ters in size.
During the advancent, fragnts of the Artifact Core Body continuously broke off, transforming into planets.
Li Mo even noticed that so planets showed faint signs of life, and in the future, they might be able to host certain flora and fauna.
The Cosmic Furnace extended infinitely outward, its area spanning countless miles.
"The Mahayana Realm signifies the Void Realm Mahayana, a state of infinite Spiritual Power."
The Spiritual Power of the Artifact Core Body was no longer constrained by the Dantian, with its total volu instantly multiplying by dozens of tis, and it was exceedingly pure.
The Land Immortal is essentially the process where quantitative change leads to qualitative transformation.
Li Mo needed to accumulate as much Spiritual Power as possible during the Mahayana Realm, solely for the purpose of nurturing a strand of perfectly ford Immortal Spiritual Power in the Tribulation Stage.
Of course, it was still too early for him to concern himself with Immortal Spiritual Power—the Mahayana Realm was rely his initial entry.
"The Nine Realms of Immortality require favorable timing, geographical advantages, and harmonious human factors, each indispensable. Without being blessed with an Immortal Body, which among us wouldn’t endure endless hardship in our cultivation journey?"
Li Mo suddenly understood why so ancient cultivators, despite witnessing catastrophic changes in the heavens and earth, would still pursue calamity again and again.
It was truly because the Heavenly Dao was so unfathomable.
Even if thirteen immortals ascend together, they could follow suit, but the dangers along the way would undoubtedly far exceed imagination.
In contrast, achieving Word-to-Law only required a mortal’s single thought.
"When Zu Xiuyun first proposed the plan to ascend to the Immortal Realm, nearly all Land Immortals eagerly responded. But as ti passed, those with wishful thinking would only grow in number."
Li Mo’s gaze deepened, pondering how many Fellow Daoists would still remain after four or five hundred years.
And how many would eventually set foot in the Immortal Realm together?
Li Mo suddenly found himself enlightened, staring at the transforming Cave God’s Eye while Supre Heavenly Beings actively began deducing possibilities.
He imdiately realized—this was an opportune mont for linking the Three Dharma Bodies.
In the Mud Pill Palace, stars faintly glowed, the dicinal effects of the Bodhi Fruit flooding his mind, and Xia Dao Palace circled around the deduced Three Dharma Bodies.
Li Mo appeared contemplative, using his Divine Sense to connect with the Great Wilderness Immortal Body and intervene with the Cave God’s Eye.
The Symbiotic Dharma Body followed closely, while the Ten Thousand Sword Immortal Bone resonated with the sounds of bones colliding, and nurous Lifebound Flying Swords vied to soar.
The Ancestor Dragon’s physical form revealed even older traits, with its scale armor seemingly forged by the Dao itself.
The elongated, slender dragon horn kept extending, its surface engraved with patterns ford from overlapping sword marks, reminiscent of the world’s very first True Dragon.
Boom.
The Cave God’s Eye on Li Mo’s forehead underwent a mutation; once depicted as a Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram, it now gradually transford into the self-rotating Artifact Core Body.
The Artifact Core Body linked with the Cave God’s Eye, signifying an increasingly tight connection with the Buddha Demon Dharma Body.
"Too bad, it’s not yet ti for Dharma Body fusion. Perhaps only after achieving Immortality can I attempt it."
The Buddha Demon Dharma Body also began advancing, nourishing his physical body in the process.
Li Mo’s overall strength improved comprehensively, as the Doulu Tripod crackled and its internal Corpse Wine vanished in the blink of an eye, while only three to four-tenths of the Immortal Organs were digested, with Spiritual Energy continuously flowing.
"Perhaps I could leverage the Immortal Organs to directly ascend to the Sixth Realm."
The Mahayana Realm is divided into three stages.
The "Self-Interest Realm," in which the Void Realm endlessly consus resources while overwhelming Heart Demons erge without cease.
The "Sixth Realm," where consud resources satiate the Heart Demons, causing the Void Realm to achieve perfection and enabling the birth of a Spiritual Spring within the Externalized Dharma Body.
The "Infinite Realm," where the Spiritual Spring gradually generates Spiritual Power independently of external Spiritual Energy, symbolizing a cultivator’s gradual severance from connections to the mortal world.
Li Mo had already entered the Self-Interest Realm, yet Heart Demons had not arisen as a result.
However, he sensed the Three Dharma Bodies growing ravenous, relying solely on Immortal Organs for sustenance, making a smooth transition likely.
"Hm?"
The Buddha Demon Dharma Body accelerated its absorption of Spiritual Energy, and chants echoed faintly from within the Mud Pill Palace.
Li Mo quickly reacted, glancing at the Buddha Demon Dharma Body’s hands. It possessed four pairs, one of which held the Yin Yang Treasure Vase.
anwhile, another pair of empty hands grew layered white bones.
"Finally, new Dharma Body Artifacts."
Of Li Mo’s Three Dharma Bodies, only the Buddha Demon Dharma Body was capable of nurturing artifacts. After hundreds upon thousands of years, this breakthrough had finally arrived.
Li Mo connected with the Buddha Demon Dharma Body, capturing vast amounts of Earth tal spiritual material and guiding it into the Mud Pill Palace.
Inside the Mud Pill Palace, the figures of the Buddha and Hungry Ghost voluntarily refined the spiritual material, rubbing the powdered essence into the Buddha Demon Dharma Body’s surface to aid artifact formation.
Two years later, the Dharma Body’s hands held two tallic umbrellas, one black and one white.
The "Mixed Yin Magnetic Umbrella."
The "Mixed Yang Magnetic Umbrella."
The Yin Yang Magnetic Umbrellas erged, stirring the magnetic forces within the Cosmic Furnace, transforming the Void Realm into a gigantic millstone.
"Hehehe."
Though seemingly less advantageous than the Yin Yang Treasure Vase, they were, in fact, superior.
Li Mo forcibly fused the Void Realm temporarily, allowing the Yin Yang Magnetic Umbrellas to synchronize with the Yin Yang Treasure Vase, enabling the Three Dharma Bodies to harmonize as one.
Having stabilized the realm of the Three Dharma Bodies, he proceeded to aim for the next layer of cultivation.
In the anti, he addressed the Immortal’s Upper Dantian.
Li Mo hesitated montarily and decided not to refine ordinary Magic Treasures, as ti was insufficient to promote them into Spiritual Treasures.
Instead, he directly refined them into single-use Magic Treasures, maximizing the Upper Dantian’s potential.
The two cultivators from Si Rui Pavilion seemingly shared the sa approach, refraining from troubling Li Mo, as such single-use treasures were relatively simple to produce.
Li Mo employed blood rituals during the refinent process, using spiritual material to stimulate the Immortal Organs and repeatedly extracting the Upper Dantian’s value.
The inscribing of Spirit Patterns for single-use treasures required little precision.
He didn’t even bother with compatibility of Spirit Patterns, focusing solely on optimizing the Upper Dantian, blending dozens of Spirit Patterns indiscriminately.
After nurous cycles of deduction, Li Mo began refining imdiately.
What he had initially imagined would take a re decade ultimately consud thirty-six years. A vestnt robe resembling human skin was finally completed.
The Magic Treasure contained traces of cosmic resonance—just witnessing it would evoke a sense of natural Daoism even in cultivators unfamiliar with its worth.
The Human Skin Vestnt, however, exuded a distinctly chaotic aura.
"Once activated, the Human Skin Vestnt could endure for about a century. Innate Essence would be limitedly effective in repairing it, extending its use to approximately four centuries."
Advancing to the Mahayana Realm had granted a total of forty-six thousand years of Innate Essence.
Li Mo soaked the Human Skin Vestnt in the tempered Corpse Wine, continuing preparations for essential resources during ascension—protective treasures were a necessity.
The Human Skin Vestnt was but one reliance; counting solely on a single treasure to ascend successfully?
Such was unrealistic.
During his spare ti, Li Mo further enriched the Creation Great Miao Technique.
Though unclear as to his specific allotnt of ascension slots, most cultivators from the Creation Sect were likely to remain confined to the mortal world.
The inherited Creation Great Miao Technique could unintentionally foster advantages.
Especially after Li Mo gained the Incense Fire Immortal Bone—in the aftermath of heaven and earth’s upheaval, traversing the two realms would surely be feasible through sect inheritance.
"The Creation Sect’s strategy will undoubtedly prove vital."
Li Mo murmured to himself while deducing the sect’s Taoist inheritance for the Creation Sect, his Three Immortal Bodies inexplicably experienced clarity of thought.
Throughout history, the Three Immortal Bodies’ premonitions of fortune and calamity had consistently been accurate.
Li Mo resolved to pursue a comprehensive deduction of the Creation Book, as the Creation Sect’s future ultimately hinged on its ability to withstand natural and manmade disasters.
Indeed, turbulence had already erged within the sect, yet he chose not to intervene.
The duration of heaven and earth’s upheaval remained uncertain, while the Creation Sect was sequestered within the Outer Heaven teorite Crater, bound to face eventual trials.
Tian Changwen had also refrained from seeking Li Mo’s help, rely filing routine reports.
Two centuries flashed by like a galloping steed.
Li Mo had recently reached the Sixth Realm, where the Spiritual Spring within the Cosmic Furnace manifested as a radiant sun, releasing Spiritual Power as it orbited the Artifact Core Body.
The Spiritual Spring of the Buddha Demon Dharma Body took the form of blooming lotus flowers amidst corpses.
The Spiritual Spring of the Symbiotic Dharma Body resembled a graveyard of discarded flying swords.
His physical body’s progress had entered the Infinite Realm, albeit his bottleneck seed distant and elusive.
Over the past nine millennia, the quantity of large sects had only increased steadily.
Yet in a re span of two centuries, two major sects had faded into the annals of history. The rise and fall of small and dium-sized sects seed to happen daily.
The Creation Sect also experienced multiple disruptions, with so forces attempting to seize control.
However, the Mountain Protection Array ensured relative safety, with losses kept negligible as cultivators gradually erged and distinguished themselves.
In Li Mo’s perspective, even if he ascended to the Immortal Realm, the Creation Sect might endure a period of pain. Yet as long as a single Land Immortal erged, the sect would enter a phase of orderly inheritance.
Another century unknowingly passed.
Across the cultivation world, twelve titanic towers piercing the heavens rose to prominence.
Zu Xiuyun had constructed the "Sky Towers," which barely functioned as replacents for the Immortal Ladder to connect with the Immortal Realm.
Li Mo furrowed his brow—it should have been thirteen towers. Was he destined to ascend the Immortal Realm alongside a particular senior sister?
"Was this an elaborate setup by my eldest sister?"
Li Mo glanced at the Mother Furnace; if push ca to shove, he could use Chen Tiangang’s Immortal Ladder for ascension—though the risks would vastly outweigh those of the Sky Towers.
There was a real chance he’d be swallowed halfway up if Chen Tiangang opened his maw.
"We’ll see—that decision can wait. For now, let’s imprint the Immortal Spirit Root."
Li Mo retrieved the Immortal Spirit Root nurtured in a jar, having refrained from imprinting it until now due to its incomplete recovery.
After consuming nine thousand years of Innate Essence, the Immortal Spirit Root finally settled.
"Naturally, the Immortal Spirit Root serves as a channel for absorbing Immortal Energy. Upon achieving Immortality, it should spontaneously develop; mine is simply premature possession."
With the Immortal Spirit Root, Li Mo would quickly establish himself in the Immortal Realm.
Granted, that’s assuming the Immortal Realm still adhered to order.
Li Mo scanned the inventory of Top-grade Spirit Stones but ultimately opted against using a special page for imprinting—the blank page might seem diocre but carried no bias.
The blank page displayed the shadow of the Immortal Spirit Root, which then dispersed.
The Immortal Spirit Root threaded into his body through his pores, circulating once through his vessels and ridians before settling in his brain and rging with his brainstem.
Li Mo waited patiently, but the Immortal Spirit Root remained lifeless.
"Hm? Why has no Divine Skill erged?"
Li Mo discovered that the Immortal Spirit Root appeared inert—perhaps due to the inadequacy of his Mahayana Realm cultivation.
After three hundred seventy-six years of seclusion, Zu Xiuyun sent so news.
Li Mo’s Sky Tower at the Boundary of North and South could carry twenty cultivators—Core Formation Stage cultivators and below could be taken in unlimited numbers as long as they dared.
He couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
"Twelve Sky Towers—there are thirteen Innate Immortal Seeds?"
