Even as a Mahayana True Immortal, one is not exempt from the constraints of Life Span.
Amidst the turmoil of Ancient Shang and during the great ordeal, the cultivation of a True Immortal is far from secure.
Thus, decisively—
"Earth Immortal!"
"Through the Three Life Phases, and turning the Nine Lives Reincarnation, one can achieve the state of an Earth Immortal!"
Above the Blood Sea, Lu Qingfeng and Ao Le sat facing each other in ditation.
The 'Buddhist Sect's Little Wheel Three Ride Marvelous Forms Transformation Birth thod' was unparalleled in mystery. Lu Qingfeng had enhanced it to the level of Great Divine Power, making it exceedingly exquisite and far more potent than the original thod from the Six Dust Temple.
Using his super-level thod and Primary Spirit cultivation, Master Zhen Hui of the Six Dust Temple had enabled Bing Yi Daoist to break through the Second Realm of Primordial Spirit, advancing from the Primordial Spirit Nourishing Spirit Realm to the Primordial Spirit Ergence Realm.
Lu Qingfeng's cultivation was even stronger.
His thod more potent.
To deploy this thod would an achieving the goal in one step, propelling Ao Le directly to the position of an Earth Immortal, granting her eternal life, free from the worry of Life Span ending. Within the Immortal Qin Realm, no threat would exist.
This was true freedom.
If Lu Qingfeng were to beco an Earth Immortal in the future, the two could live together forever, no longer having to struggle on the brink of life and parting.
Yet the thod was extrely dangerous, and because the Heavenly Dao maintains balance, subsequent and perhaps even stronger tribulations would inevitably descend.
Utmost caution was necessary.
"Hold true to your heart, let your spirit light not slumber."
Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes, making one final admonition to Ao Le.
"Do not worry my husband."
"When we et again, Le'er will surely be an Earth Immortal, perhaps even surpassing you."
Ao Le was apprehensive inside, but she was always composed and resilient. Thinking that she would beco an Earth Immortal in just nine days and be with her husband forever, she couldn't help but show a joyous smile.
With this anticipation,
She could endure all hardships, overco every danger.
"We will surely achieve the state of an Earth Immortal!"
Lu Qingfeng nodded slightly to Ao Le.
Both closed their eyes simultaneously.
After a mont,
Lu Qingfeng's surroundings rippled with his energy, and a Rotating Wheel Magic Platform thunderously took shape.
With a gesture, a glaze lamp on the platform ignited, and Lu Qingfeng, with a sweep of his wide sleeve, sent countless Heavenly Silver into the lamp. As a First-grade Divine Monarch who presided over the Divine Office, he enjoyed the worship of billions of life spirits throughout the East Xian State.
For more than fifty thousand years, he had accumulated an incalculable amount of Incense Fire.
Casually refined, it beca countless pure Incense Fire, Will Power Heavenly Silver.
This mont was its perfect use.
As the countless Heavenly Silver fell, akin to the Milky Way descending from the Nine Heavens, plumting directly into the Glazed Cup. Instantly, a golden flower took flight, transforming into a halo of light enveloping Ao Le. The mysterious lamp, fueled by Heavenly Silver, greatly aided in solidifying the Primordial Spirit, facilitating Lu Qingfeng's execution of the Rotating Wheel Technique.
He focused deeply on the thod.
Approaching midnight, Lu Qingfeng sat upon the Magic Platform, his mouth moving with incantations.
Thrice over.
"Duō!" My Virtual Library Empire (M V L E M P Y R) appreciates your readership at the source.
With a point of his hand, a huge azure lotus surged from amidst the raging blood waves at the place where the Golden Light shone above the Blood Sea, bearing myriad radiant colors and cradling a similarly sized Golden Wheel which spun leisurely and incessantly.
Hu hu hu!
Ao Le held her breath, deeply engraining Lu Qingfeng's repeated instructions, knowing this mont was crucial to her success. When the Golden Wheel slowed slightly, she steadied her breathing. As her mind willed it, her Primordial Spirit naturally leapt out, surrounded by the Buddha's fire-like Divine Light and Will Power, and flew towards the wheel.
The Golden Wheel seed but a foot in diater, with five points each a foot long, spaced very closely.
Yet, it was a Divine Power refined by Lu Qingfeng, extraordinary in every aspect.
All mysteries contained within.
With the appearance of the Golden Wheel, she must attach herself to it, the chant would allow her to fly naturally, no need to leap.
As she flew near, Ao Le noticed that between each interval, there were golden characters, five compartnts in total labeled: birth, suffering, aging, illness, death. Ao Le suddenly understood she should attach to the life compartnt.
Mumbling voices filled her ears.
Ao Le strained to listen; she could only make out it was Lu Qingfeng's voice. Trying harder, she couldn't grasp the details of the words. Looking back at her body sitting cross-legged, she saw across on the Magic Platform, Lu Qingfeng also seated upright.
Serene and dignified, with an august presence.
Seeing her husband, joy naturally welled up in Ao Le's heart.
While gazing, she felt a sudden pull, and before she fully realized it, her Primordial Spirit had reached the wheel.
From the outside, the intervals seed narrow, yet once inside, she found the space surprisingly expansive. She looked around, but the wheel did not seem to move.
"Eh?"
While looking around in wonder, Ao Le's mind suddenly clouded, and she forgot everything. A sensation of emptiness struck her core, her body icy cold and limbs weak. She felt soone holding her, washing her, with unbearable pain.
The Great thod has turned.
"Three Life Phases."
"Nine Lives Reincarnation!"
From the Magic Platform outside, Lu Qingfeng maintained protection over Ao Le while witnessing her endure various trials –
A poor upbringing, suffering from cold and hunger in her youth.
Loss of father in childhood, loss of mother in adolescense.
Frequently scorned and abused by cruel relatives, a solitary and cold existence amidst hardest circumstances, more than any person could bear. Then at sixteen, just as she was to marry and be wed, an epidemic struck, wiping out the entire village.
Fortunate to survive, she drifted to a neighboring county.
First a beggar, then sold into slavery, subjected to oppression and abuse. But her resilience and the mory of a young man's silhouette, the fragnts of sweet mories swirling in her mind provided comfort.
Though unable to recall his face or identity, and rembering nothing of the past life, she instinctively felt the most beloved person was waiting, watching, and protecting her.
No pain, no coldness was felt.
Such a temperant caught the attention of a senior female swordsman who took pity on her and passed on her skills. By the age of twenty-seven, she too was unparalleled in martial prowess. Following her master, she road the lands upholding justice and performing virtuous deeds. Although her mories of her past lives faded, she never forgot the importance of performing acts of kindness.
No good deed was too small to her, and she practiced one every day.
Skilled in business from her forr household, she opened shops in various counties, using her earnings to expand her ventures and provide relief to the impoverished.
Her reputation grew.
Dubbed 'Junzi sword', she was greatly respected by all in the Jianghu.
Yet good tis did not last; the nation was in turmoil, and war ravaged the land, shattering her wealth and taking the life of her beloved ntor. For decades after, amidst the flas of war, she led a life of hardships but upheld her master's teachings by practicing kindness and vowed to accumulate 'Ten Thousand Good Deeds' in hopes of restoring peace for the people.
Rotating Wheel Technique, nature's cruel ga, was but a thod to increase Ao Le's future suffering.
Yet, Ao Le's True Spirit remained unclouded, always holding on to her innate determination, enduring without complaint or wrongdoings. If not for her inherently pure nature and firm roots of kindness, one slip might tarnish her past efforts. It seed simple, yet in reality, it was arduous.
Lu Qingfeng witnessed Ao Le endure such suffering, experiencing life, illness, death, and separation more intensely than most, feeling compassion for her. Yet, knowing her inherently pure nature and firm roots of kindness, his worries sowhat alleviated.
The wheel of reincarnation turns.
Ao Le suffered continuously in life, but within the mortal coil, her Primordial Spirit grew without cease.
And in one particular life, she shattered the bottleneck of her broken Primordial Spirit, reaching the realm of a True Immortal.
With a sweep of his broad sleeve,
Lu Qingfeng summoned from the Magic Platform a pond, placing Ao Le's ditating body within.
A replica of the Dragon Palace's incomplete 'Dragon Transformation Pond' fashioned by Lu Qingfeng himself, albeit an imitation, still possessed Eighth-Rank powers. Now that Ao Le's Primordial Spirit has matured through reincarnations, it was ti for her body to catch up.
Thus,
Lu Qingfeng used the Eighth-Rank 'Dragon Transformation Pond' to gather the Spiritual Energy of the heavens, with even Immortal Spirit Qi descending from above the Nine Heavens, allowing Ao Le's body to grow continuously.
Transforming thrice a day.
But Spiritual Energy and Immortal Spirit Qi alone were not enough.
Lu Qingfeng utilized his accumulations over the years—
Countless Spirit Stones.
Tens of thousands of Immortal Crystals.
Pellets of Spirit Pills.
Strains of wonderful dicines.
And various odd Supre Treasures.
…
All were thrown into the Dragon Transformation Pond, becoming the nourishnt for Ao Le's ascent. The expenditure was imnse, but fortunate was Lu Qingfeng, who controlled the Investigation Divine Bureau, using his position to collect and hoard, profiting imnsely and sustaining the need.
Any ordinary True Immortal, even the Three Palace Dragon King or Heavenly Court Emperor, could not hope to compare to Lu Qingfeng's wealth.
With such accumulation,
Heaven's weather converged swiftly, with chaotic ons appearing, a burst of golden hue seed void of matter, yet streaks of thunder flashed within. Ao Le, having cultivated both body and Primordial Spirit to True Immortal status, caused such phenona to erge responsive to her achievent.
Nonetheless, Ao Le's attainnt was through 'Buddhist Sect's Little Wheel Three Ride Marvelous Forms Transformation Birth thod,' so her understanding of Dao and cultivation of Divine Power would co later, almost as if she beca an immortal through accrued rit.
This posed no issue.
Once becoming an Earth Immortal, one attains Longevity. Effortlessly manifesting Divine Power also holds boundless potential. All Great thods can be comprehended in due ti.
There is plenty of ti.
"What is this—?"
With heaven's phenona manifesting, figures flew over, stunned to find the source of the spectacle to be in the midst of the Blood Sea, creating uncertainty among Primordial Spirits and True Immortals—
"A year ago, Guang Yuan Divine Monarch fought against Earth Immortals from all heavens here, just to aid his wife in becoming immortal."
"Alas, success eluded him."
"The couple left dejectedly, vanishing without trace."
"Who today is becoming immortal in the Blood Sea?!"
Upon sensing interest, they saw nothing but the Blood Sea's shroud, dimly recognising the aura of the intensely passionate and fierce Guang Yuan Divine Monarch. In such a crucial mont, who was he aiding in breaking through the final barrier? Even a Mahayana True Immortal dared not rashly intrude.
They could only watch from a distance.
The first day brought heavenly signs, heralding the ergence of a True Immortal.
The second day summoned a small Heavenly Tribulation, thunder rolling over the clear skies above the Blood Sea.
The third day brought the Wind and Fire Tribulation, sweeping over from all directions, engulfing both within and beyond the Blood Sea.
The fourth day faced eight consecutive descents of Heavenly Tribulation, Wind, Fire, Thunder, and evil spirits converging.
By the fifth day, as tribulation waned, a faint dragon's chant erged from within the Blood Sea.
The sixth day amplified the chanting resonance.
The seventh day saw golden light surge within the Blood Sea, revealing the True Miao Qi.
On the eighth day, the Blood Waves churned, the dragon's chant terrifying all heavens, with Mahayana Dao Qi causing turbulence in heaven and earth, all True Immortals sensing—
"Soone is breaking through to Earth Immortal!"
Until the ninth day.
Above the serene sky,
Combat Heavenly King, One Yuan Ancestor, and Golden Light Ancestor Master stood side by side, gazing down with a mix of shock and doubt, none looking pleased.
Golden Light Ancestor Master watched as below, Lu Qingfeng led the ritual, Ao Le's Qi becoming stronger with each passing mont. Just monts before she was at the stage of Early Mahayana Enlightennt, now advanced to Mid Mahayana Enlightennt, his eyes revealing shock and uncertainty, he frowned and said, "What great technique is this, to raise a struggling Primordial Spirit from a cultivator to the level of Mahayana Dao within nine days?!"
The shock was genuine.
Primordial Spirit Unification.
Mahayana Dao.
There was more than four realms difference between them, not to ntion the gap between immortal and mortal, and the Nine layers Heavens Tribulations to cross. Ordinary cultivators would need at least forty to fifty thousand years of hard cultivation, how could it be achieved in just nine days?!
