Compared with other practitioners, Zhou Bao's luck was just too good. His luck was almost against the natural order, and it allowed him to accumulate a foundation that countless people needed to look up to. While he was frantically improving his strength, he was often at a loss. That was, how should he move forward on his path?
In terms of cultivation, he was only at Level Nine, but his Internal Qi had already become the Real Essence of an Individual Immortal, or even the Dharma power of a Genuine Immortal. His body, after being transformed by the remains of the Innate Deity in Taiyuan Heaven, had long surpassed the level of a Genuine Immortal. All of these made his combat capability soar, and he had the strength to fight against a Genuine Immortal at the Venerable Realm. This was the result of him not being able to further excavate the power of the remains of the Innate Deity.
Unfortunately, his real cultivation was still at Level Nine. He could break through to Level Nine at any time, but because of the Golden Book of Fate, he forcibly suppressed his cultivation at Level Nine.
What did it mean to suppress one's cultivation at Level Nine?
In many people's imagination, cultivation was Internal Qi, Real Essence, or a little power of spirit and spirit. Zhou Bao had already surpassed the boundary of Level Nine. Why was he still able to forcibly suppress his spirit at Level Nine?
The key was in the spirit!
There was a very important step to step into the Mysterious Realm from Level Nine. It was also the most crucial step, called Pulse Steadying!
For many people below Profound Understanding, they would take it for granted that Meridian Steadying was the same as Bone Forging and Tendon Transformation. It was just a simple strengthening of one's body structure so that it could hold more powerful and higher quality Yuan Qi, such as Quintessential Essence or magic power.
But the truth was not so. Strengthening bearing capacity was only part of the function of Pulse Steadying. The real function of Pulse Steadying was the most crucial step to step into the Mysterious Realm. It was the integration of the Real Body and the body, and the re-steadying of the tendons and meridians. This was the real meaning of Pulse Steadying!
For example, Dark Lord Mie Chen, the Palace Master of the Palace of Destruction Demon and one of the three Grandmasters of Northern Yuan, was a figure half a step into the Mysterious Realm. He had already practiced the Heavenly Devil Real Body. If he wanted to take the last half step, he needed to integrate the Heavenly Devil Real Body with the body and re-establish the tendons and meridians. Only when the integration was successful and the tendons and meridians were stabilized, could he be considered to have stepped into the Mysterious Realm.
When the cultivation reached Level Eight, the experts who began to condense the Real Essence Source in their acupoints all had the ability to touch the secret of the spirit and comprehend the spirit. At this time, whether intentionally or unintentionally, they would start to condense their own Real Bodies. It was said that it was unintentional, but it was because some Individual Immortals who did not have any inheritance did it purely by instinct. When the cultivation reached this stage, a warrior's instinct would feel that there was something to do, so he would do it naturally and try his best to condense his own spirit. As for those experts who originally had inheritance, they had already prepared for condensing their own Real Bodies.
Everyone's Real Body was different. Everyone's physical characteristics, the characteristics of the cultivation method they practiced, the fortuitous encounters they had, and different personalities could lead to subtle differences or huge gaps in the Real Body that they practiced.
For ordinary practitioners, the first step to practicing the Real Body was to condense their own spirit. When their spirit was completely mature, it was the time when the embryonic form of the Real Body would appear, breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly, completing a qualitative leap.
But Zhou Bao was different. His fist intent had long been condensed. It was just that the unreliable, uncoordinated, and bastardly fist intent could not help him condense the Real Body. Even if the pneuma of the 33 Heavens was given to him, he could not condense the Real Body of the Universe.
The Real Body of the Universe was just a beautiful wish, a broken ideal, and an idiot's daydream.
It was not only the spirit that could condense the Real Body. Whether it was the spirit or the Real Body, they were all derivatives of the spirit. Because they both had the characteristics of the spirit, for most people, it was the most normal choice to condense the spirit to get the Real Body. But there were also many people who adopted different methods to condense the Real Body, such as searching for the spirit of powerful creatures. After all, in the long river of time, in the endless history, human beings were extremely weak creatures. Even if they could practice, even if they made some achievements, some innate gaps still existed. It was very obvious that even if they had practiced to the Metaphysic Individual Immortal Realm, or even the Realm of True Immortal, they were still very powerless in the face of powerful creatures like the Primordial Fierce Beasts. Not to mention the adult form, even the infant form could often cause great damage to human practitioners who had practiced for thousands of years.
From this point of view, the world was unfair, extremely unfair. The disparity existed from the moment one was born.
For cultivators, the best choice to condense a powerful real body was not to condense their own will, but to directly absorb the souls of powerful creatures, fuse the souls of these powerful creatures with their own souls, and then form a real body with the characteristics of these powerful creatures. This was the best choice.
However, how many of them could actually succeed?
In antiquity times, these powerful creatures might have existed, but they had long been captured by the powerful practitioners of antiquity times. Therefore, Lan Shui 'er was so concerned about the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan. She kept it a secret for more than a hundred years and consumed all her resources to cultivate it. Her purpose was to have the Real Body of Zhuyan and integrate its spirit, flesh and blood into her own Real Body, so that she could break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop and obtain unparalleled strength. Unexpectedly, in the end, she had done all this for Zhou Bao. How could she not hate him?
Putting the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan aside, Zhou Bao himself had many conditions to condense a powerful Real Body. After absorbing the kindling of the Primitive Dragon Chimera and successfully nurturing it, he could completely extract its spirit from the Demonic Fire and use it as his Real Body. He practiced the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique and could also use the nine Fire Dragons as his Real Body. In addition, he also comprehended the third level of the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon and understood two forms of the Real Dragon. He could also use these two forms as his Real Body. Although his fist intent could not be used as his Real Body, it could be used as a reference. He could integrate some powerful rules of the universe into his Real Body and multiply the power of his Real Body. It was precisely because he had so many choices that Zhou Bao himself was a little confused. He could not figure out his direction, his path, and which one he should choose as the foundation of his Real Body.
The Real Body could be strengthened and merged. After merging with the body and going through the Thunder Tribulation to become a Genuine Immortal, the Real Body could be forged into a Dharmakaya through the power of the thunderbolt. It would have almost crazy power. The Dharma power and the Dharmakaya were the biggest reasons why a Genuine Immortal could completely defeat an Individual Immortal.
Originally, Zhou Bao had decided to use the Primitive Dragon Chimera as the foundation of his Real Body and then devour the Nine Forms of the Real Dragon that he had condensed from the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire to strengthen his Real Body. However, after obtaining the life essence and spirit of the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan, he began to hesitate.
The Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan was not inferior to the Primitive Dragon Chimera. The most important thing was that Zhou Bao only obtained the kindling of the Demonic Fire of the Primitive Dragon Chimera. From it, he bred the spirit of the Primitive Dragon Chimera and wasted its flesh and blood. However, this time, Zhou Bao absorbed a complete giant egg of the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan. In addition to the spirit of the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan, there was also its blood essence and flesh and blood. This would be a great advantage in the process of meridian-fixing.
However, Zhuyan had just obtained it and he was not familiar with it yet. It would take a certain amount of time to completely refine it into a Real Body. However, he had been playing with the Demonic Fire of the Primitive Dragon Chimera for more than ten years. Even the spirit of the Dragon Chimera was nurtured from the Demonic Fire with his efforts. Refining it into a Real Body was almost a matter of course. He did not need to worry about the various sequelae in the future.
Between gains and losses, he began to hesitate.
However, the predicament he was faced with now forced him to make a passive choice.
It was impossible for him to advance to the Mysterious Realm in the current situation, but he urgently needed the power of the Primitive Dragon Chimera. Therefore, the only way was to refine the spirit of the Primitive Dragon Chimera into his Outer-body Incarnation.
And he happened to have the best tool for refining Outer-body Incarnation, the Dark Female Pearl at the Pure Yang Celestial Device level. All the problems would be easily solved.
He wanted to refine an Outer-body Incarnation with the help of the Dark Female Pearl. In this way, he would not have to worry about being seen through when he moved in the Sea Area.
Refining an Outer-body Incarnation was a technical job.
It was not something that could be done just because you wanted to. Although Zhou Bao was proficient in this peculiar technique, it was all taught to him by Green Spirit. He had never tried it before. This was the first time he tried it. Zhou Bao had his own considerations.
If he wanted to rescue Ji Yeyue and the others, he had to go deep into the so-called Dragon Abyss Prison. He knew nothing about it. Entering it as a prisoner was just an idea. As for how dangerous it was, he could not imagine it.
At the same time, a vague sense of crisis slowly emerged in the depths of his heart. After experiencing the overbearingness and strength of the Sea Area, he increasingly felt that this plan of hunting and killing was full of loopholes. The loopholes were even bigger than the holes on the fishnet stockings.
Everything was like a huge scam, a premeditated scam, and they were just an eye-catching and attention-grabbing pawn in this huge premeditated scam.
"Using a fairy weapon to set up a trap, these sects must have a big appetite, right?!"
The raging flames all over his body had begun to gather in the Dark Female Pearl in his right palm. In a few breaths, the Dark Female Pearl in his hand had been completely covered by the Demonic Fire. In the Demonic Fire, the shadow of an extremely ferocious Primitive Dragon Chimera loomed. Finally, under Zhou Bao's manipulation, it entered the Dark Female Pearl.
After doing all this, Zhou Bao breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his head and felt that his actions just now, using the powerful Demonic Qi from the Demonic Fire of the Primitive Dragon Chimera, should have attracted some of the Demonic Immortals in Right-angle Bay? Then, what he had to do next was simple, very simple. Leave this place.
A golden light flashed behind Zhou Bao's head. Then, it turned into a faint golden light wheel and appeared behind Zhou Bao's head. This light wheel flashed fiercely and completely enveloped Zhou Bao's body. Then, it gradually extinguished. When everything disappeared, Zhou Bao's figure also disappeared from the room and appeared in a gray space.
