After reaching the peak Zifu stage, Zhou Tong looked at the pool in front of him. He said to himself, "From the peak Xiantian level to the peak Zifu level, I used up a total of 100 kilograms of liquefied elemental essence. The remaining 900 kilograms should be just enough for me to just barely break through to the Wanxiang level."
At the peak of the Zifu stage, in essence, one could break through to the Wanxiang level. However, this level of the Wanxiang level was the most trashy level; in the future, one would have no chance of becoming a Celestial Immortal.
The Wanxiang stage was a very special stage. At this stage, one would be able to manifest Dharma Idols, and Dharma Idols were one of the most important offensive techniques used by Wanxiang Adepts.
Generally speaking, there were three levels of Dharma Idols at the All Creations level. The first level was the Starlight Dharma Idols, which would cause countless dazzling stars to appear. The second level was when both the moon and the starlight would appear at the same time, and one would be able to unleash a giant hand of moonlight, which was far more powerful than starlight. The third level was the pinnacle of Dharma Idols, which would cause the sun, the moon, and the stars to appear at the same time.
This Dharma Idol could manifest billions of stars, bright moons, and blazing suns at the same time.
Only a Dharma Idol of this level would be able to nurture a Dharma Idol at the peak of the Wanxiang Realm, the "Moon Rabbit appears in the bright moon, Golden Crow appears in the blazing sun".
The appearance of the Yue Rabbit and the Golden Crow meant that his foundation had been perfected. Only then would he have the foundation to become a Celestial Immortal. If he hadn't reached this step, becoming a Celestial Immortal would have been nothing more than a pipe dream.
As for how this top-notch Dharma Idol was formed?
Naturally, he had to rely on his Violet Palace Lake, which had been constantly accumulating and expanding during the Violet Palace Realm.
The Purple Palace Lake was the foundation of everything. The deeper and wider the lake was, the more shocking the Dharma Idol it formed.
"The [Immortal Immolation Manual] that I train in is definitely one of the most supreme techniques of the Three Realms. Even if I reach the peak of the Zifu level, my Zifu Lake will continue to expand. The remaining liquefied elemental essence should be barely enough. "Zhou Tong looked at the remaining liquefied elemental essence and made some mental calculations.
"According to the records in the [Book of Immortal Immolation], after reaching the peak of the Zifu stage, after absorbing and refining 400 kilograms of liquefied elemental essence, one will be able to form the Dharma Idol of the Sun and Moon. After absorbing 1,500 kilograms of liquefied elemental essence, one will be able to form the Dharma Idol of the Sun, Moon, and Stars. And that's not the limit. One can continue to absorb 1,500 kilograms of liquefied elemental essence." Zhou Tong murmured to himself.
After reaching the peak of the Zifu Disciple level, the amount of liquefied elemental essence that one could absorb to reach the limit was a measure of how good or bad a technique was.
Of course, not everyone could reach the theoretical limit of a cultivation technique. There were some people with extraordinary talent who could surpass their limits, but there were many stupid people who could never reach their limits no matter how hard they tried.
"My liquefied elemental essence will just barely allow me to train to the Wanxiang level. It won't allow me to break through my limits … I'll wait for a few more days. Once I've improved this spirit-gathering formation once more and upgraded it to the heaven-ranked, I'll be able to break through!"
Zhou Tong muttered to himself and stopped cultivating. Instead, he began to deduce the formation.
The giant yellow bear and the old black bull, who were in the Immortal Abode, let out a sigh of relief when they saw this. The old black bull said, "I thought he was going to charge into the Wanxiang Realm in one go, but in the end, he stabilized himself! Otherwise, charging from the peak Xiantian level to the Wanxiang level in a single day would be a bit too astonishing. "
"This kid is very ambitious. He naturally wants to wait until he reaches the peak of the Violet Palace Realm before breaking through. Now that he doesn't have enough liquefied elemental essence, he definitely won't break through just like that. Now that he's deducing the array formation, he definitely wants to improve further! " The giant yellow bear sighed in amazement. "Only, I didn't expect that his current formation would have such astonishing power."
"Right. I've read the [Nine Scrolls on Formations] as well. Although it was a formation manual left behind by a Loose Immortal, I feel as though his research into formations has already surpassed the contents of the [Nine Scrolls on Formations]." The old black bull sighed in amazement as well. "He combined the Mortal-ranked formation disks with the Earth-ranked formation flags, then supplemented it with other formations. By now, this formation is close to a heaven-ranked formation."
After Zhou Tong had reached the peak of the Zifu level, he had successfully upgraded the formation to the heaven-ranked level. The formation's rate of refining liquefied elemental essence had instantly doubled, and every day, at least ten kilograms of liquefied elemental essence would be produced.
Time passed slowly. In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.
"Three thousand kilograms. I should be able to begin my breakthrough!"
Zhou Tong immediately sat down in the lotus position, continuing to refine the liquefied elemental essence. His Zifu Lake constantly expanded, expanded, and expanded. His Zifu Lake constantly invaded the void within his Zifu region, growing larger and larger. At the same time, his Zifu Lake grew increasingly stable.
After refining 4500 kilograms of liquefied elemental essence, Zhou Tong discovered that he still hadn't reached his limit.
"So I really haven't reached my limit … given my insights into the Dao of Fire, I've already surpassed the limits of this technique." Zhou Tong didn't think too much about it, continuing to refine the liquefied elemental essence.
To surpass the limits of a technique, at least two things had to be accomplished.
First, one had to have an extremely powerful body, causing his Zifu Lake to be innately incomparably powerful. In this aspect, Fiendgod Body Refiners had an enormous advantage. The more powerful a Fiendgod Body Refiner was, the more powerful he would be.
Second, one had to have an extremely deep understanding of the Dao of the technique. The deeper one's understanding was, the more solid one's foundation would be.
But after surpassing the limits of this technique, Zhou Tong's refining speed began to slow down, and so did the expansion of his Zifu Lake. The void within his Zifu Lake grew increasingly sluggish, as though it was preventing the expansion of his Zifu Lake.
"Rumble!"
Finally, after Zhou Tong had completely refined the six thousand kilograms of liquefied elemental essence, his Zifu Lake was no longer able to expand, and the space within his Zifu Lake had solidified to its limits.
All of this caused Zhou Tong to understand that he had already reached the limits of the Zifu Realm.
His Zifu Lake had reached the limits of Great Perfection, yet he'd consumed a total of six thousand kilograms of liquefied elemental essence. From this, one could see how superior his technique was, as well as how powerful his innate talent was.
"I can begin to break through to the Wanxiang Realm!" Zhou Tong immediately began to cultivate according to the Wanxiang Realm techniques recorded in the [Book of Immortal Immolation].
He was already incomparably familiar with this technique, so he naturally didn't need to spend too much time meditating on it. He could directly cultivate it.
At the same time, his Zifu Lake began to tremble, and began to transform …
"He's finally about to break through to the Wanxiang Realm. He's not even two years old yet!" Within the Immortal estate, the old bull sighed.
"Six thousand kilograms of liquefied elemental essence is his limit. He's already surpassed the limits recorded in the [Book of Immortal Immolation]. Although during this period of time, we've seen him constantly break the existing records, so we've already anticipated this, but when we actually see it for ourselves, we still can't help but sigh in amazement! "The giant yellow bear spoke up as well.
"Unfortunately, he doesn't have the second scroll of the [Chi Ming's Diagram of the Nine Heavens]. He's only been able to reach the peak of the Zifu Realm, and can't advance any further. After breaking through this time, he should be able to go out for a walk! "The giant yellow bear concluded.
Neither the giant yellow bear nor the old black bull suspected what level Zhou Tong's Dharma Idol was at.
Six thousand kilograms of liquefied elemental essence was already proof that his Dharma Idol was definitely at the very top. Other techniques might require four hundred kilograms of liquefied elemental essence to reach the peak of the Dharma Idol level. Six thousand kilograms of liquefied elemental essence was unimaginable to others.
