This lake was the manifestation of the golden jade disk in the Underworld!
The lake was as smooth as a mirror. This was the first form of the golden jade disk, the Clear Mirror Treasure Mirror!
And the lotus flower at the bottom of the lake was the second form of the golden jade disk, the Lotus Throne!
As for the dragon and phoenix in the lotus flower, they were the third form of the golden jade disk, the Dragon Phoenix Opening the Heavens!
"This lake is likely the truth that the Underworld God Emperor comprehended from the golden jade disk. After he died, the Great Emperor Dao Laws scattered and collapsed, and a portion of the corpse energy and demon energy mixed with the golden jade disk's truth to form this lake."
Jiang Nan walked along the lake, carefully looking around and examining the lake. Only after he had measured the entire lake did he stop. "This lake isn't large, only 300 miles in circumference. It's four to five times larger than the golden jade disk in my dantian. But, this is the corpse energy and demon energy that the Underworld God Emperor left behind after he died. The energy it contains isn't much stronger than the golden jade disk in my body. If it were pure Great Emperor Dao Laws, then that would be terrifying. I fear it could even refine Divine Masters! "
Although it wasn't too strong, it could still obliterate gods and demons. The great buddha skeleton on the island was an example of this.
This great buddha was the senior-apprentice brother of Buddha Xing Mi from the Bridge of Helplessness, Buddha Xing Duan. If Buddha Xing Duan was ordered to guard the second layer of the Underworld, then his cultivation was definitely much higher than Xing Chi and Xing Mi's!
In a one-on-one battle, Jiang Nan might not necessarily be able to defeat Buddha Hang Chi. Moreover, this was under the situation where he used all of his magic treasures and trump cards. It could be imagined that if he wanted to reach the small island in the middle of the lake, activate the power of the three forms of the Dao Gold Jade Disc, and thoroughly study this giant Dao Gold Jade Disc, it would be extremely dangerous.
He didn't hurry to step onto the island. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and summoned his four incarnations. It had been a year and nine months since he had made consecutive breakthroughs. Soon, two years would be up.
During this time, his cultivation hadn't improved at all!
This was because he had been suppressing his cultivation, concentrating on rebuilding his shaky foundation over and over again. Skyscrapers were built from the ground, but if the foundation was damaged, the skyscraper would easily collapse.
Some people were extremely talented, but because their foundations were not strong enough, they would be stuck at a certain level of cultivation. They would stop for many years, and some might even be unable to break through in their lifetime.
Some people with poor aptitudes could cultivate to an extremely high level by laying down an incomparably solid foundation. They could even achieve more than those with good aptitudes.
Originally, he had a good foundation, so he did not encounter many hardships during his cultivation. But last time, because he heard the news about Taihuang, he was determined to take revenge and successively crossed the three realms of Jade Capital, Jade Palace, and Divine Dwelling, rushing to the peak of Tao Insight Realm in one fell swoop. Not only did it destroy his Dao heart, but it also made his foundation unstable.
That was why he used two years to make up for it. If they didn't make up for it, it would be a mistake on top of a mistake, and there would be a day when the skyscraper would collapse!
In the past two years, the cultivation of his four incarnations had also recovered, especially the incarnation of the Senluo Emperor, whose recovery speed was the fastest. He had already recovered to the peak of the Jade Capital realm more than half a year ago.
Now that this incarnation had reached the peak of the Jade Capital realm, Jiang Nan planned to raise the cultivation of the incarnation of the Senluo Emperor to the Jade Palace realm, greatly increasing the strength of the incarnation, and then test the sharpness of the lake-shaped Golden Jade Dao Plate!
It was not difficult for the incarnation of the Senluo Emperor to raise its cultivation level. As long as the incarnation was given enough spiritual liquid, it could easily break through, and what followed was the tribulation of the Heavenly Dao!
Jiang Nan had already reached the pinnacle of the Grotto-Heaven Realm and was close to perfection. His strength was comparable to that of gods and demons. It was easy for him to pass through the Jade Palace Realm's Heavenly Tribulation of the Senluo Monarch. However, he could not even refine the Jade Palace Realm's Golden Dao Jade Plate.
At this moment, in his dantian, the Golden Jade Dao Plate was in a delicate state of balance with his cultivation level. If the Jade Palace realm Golden Jade Dao Plate entered his dantian and fused with the jade plate in his dantian, this balance would be broken.
"Fellow Daoist, thank you!"
Jiang Nan's figure suddenly disappeared, leaving only the incarnation of the Senluo Emperor standing where he was. The Golden Jade Dao Plate spun and disappeared into the incarnation's body.
The incarnation of the Senluo Emperor blinked innocently, a miserable look on his face.
Jiang Nan appeared again, his body and mind at ease. He led the four incarnations to fly to the small island in the lake. The skeleton of the Buddha at the top of the island was shining with golden light, but the Dao laws in the skeleton had been completely destroyed. He even saw the jade archives, prayer beads, praying mats, and other treasures refined by the Buddha when he was alive. They were all treasures of the gods, but these treasures were also destroyed. The Dao laws and spiritual energy in them had been refined completely, and even the divine gold had been turned into dung!
"The Jade Plate Destroys the Dao Foundation. This lake completely destroyed the Dao Foundation of Xing Duan Buddha. Even his magic treasure was destroyed!"
Jiang Nan waved his hand and kept Xing Duan Buddha's skeleton into his Purple Palace. He was ready to return the skeleton to Xing Duan Buddha to repay the kindness of showing him the way, but at this moment, the lake suddenly shook!
Boom!
The entire surface of the lake was like a mirror, and the mirror light gushed out from the lake, refining the void in an instant, and enveloping Jiang Nan in the mirror light!
"You can destroy my Dao foundation in my dantian, but you can't attack me from the outside!"
Jiang Nan was bathed in the mirror light, and the mirror light was so penetrating that it even shone on every particle of his body.
Even the tiniest particle of his body had been refined into a Grotto-Heaven, which contained powerful Dao patterns. They were used to construct formations and maintain the Grotto-Heaven. Every tiny particle had a god guarding it. This was the reason why Jiang Nan was so much stronger than others!
His body had long reached the realm of gods and demons, and it contained a cave with a god presiding over it. From a certain point of view, he was already a god!
However, under the illumination of the mirror light on the lake, his body also started to crumble and disintegrate!
A violent heartbeat came from within Jiang Nan's body. He activated the Source Fetus Seal, causing his Qi and blood to rise rapidly. In an instant, it increased by ten times. Then, he activated the Dark Fetus Seal, and his Qi and blood increased by another five times!
If it was anyone else, three to four times their Qi and blood would be the limit. If they continued to increase it, their body would explode and they would die!
Even Shao Tianya could only increase his Qi and blood by six to seven times under the condition of the Ninth Transformation Battle Body. However, Jiang Nan could resist fifteen times his Qi and blood!
The mirror light attacked. In every particle of his body, there was a god presiding over it, and divine light shone brightly. From afar, he looked like a divine body that was bathed in blazing divine light!
This was also the reason why others suspected that he had a divine body!
Even so, Jiang Nan still felt that his corporeal body couldn't withstand it. The mirror-like light on the surface of the lake continued to wear down his corporeal body, causing the countless Dao patterns in the particles of his corporeal body to crumble and disintegrate.
"Ninth Transformation Battle Body!"
Jiang Nan shouted. His body suddenly expanded, and then shrank rapidly. One transformation, two transformations, three transformations!
Originally, he could only advance to the second transformation. Now that he risked his life, he actually advanced his body to the third transformation. After the third transformation, the speed at which his body collapsed was greatly reduced, and he finally persevered in the mirror light.
Whoosh —
Under the lake, a dragon and a phoenix flew out. The dragon and phoenix crossed each other, and the scales on their wings trembled. Countless divine arts that were as powerful as gods and demons rushed toward Jiang Nan like rain!
"Immortal Transformation Divine Light!"
Jiang Nan opened his mouth and spat out divine light. It was like a sword or a flood dragon, and with a swoosh, it cut off one of the divine arts. Then, he crossed his hands, and an Immortal Suppression Cauldron formed, taking the other divine art into the cauldron. He stomped on the ground, and golden lotuses appeared on the ground. A Thousand Buddhas Pagoda rose from the ground and transformed into an unparalleled Buddha. Ten thousand Buddhas sat on the Buddha's body, chanting the Prajnaparamita Sutra in unison. Buddha light shone brightly, guarding one's heart from the invasion of demonic qi and demonic voices.
Above his head, another Creation Divine Tower towered into the clouds, distorting time and space. The Heavenly Bell flew out, and the bell chimed to block the divine arts.
A divine light shot up from the top of his head, turning into a Hidden Heaven Gourd that swallowed everything. It slashed across the sky like a heavenly blade, slashing toward the dragon and phoenix. At the same time, the three Immortal Slaying Swords of Providence soared into the sky, swimming like silver dragons. With a tinkling sound, they shattered the divine arts that came at them!
Even so, he could not completely block the attack of the dragon and phoenix formed by the Golden Jade Plate. Jiang Nan had no choice. With a clear shout, the Myriad World Prison Diagram spread out under his feet. Countless hellish worlds rose from the diagram, and the Netherworld Sea World protected him. This diagram was controlled by the incarnation of his Flaming Demon God, and the four-headed and four-armed demon god activated the diagram's defense.
On the other side, the Heavenly Dao Bell and the Heavenly Bell fused with each other's divine arts, ringing loudly in the air.
This big bell was controlled by the incarnation of the Senluo Great Emperor, and it defended the sky.
At the same time, the Floating Holy Light Flag and the Mystic Essence Holy Water Flag flew out from behind him. The incarnation of the Sun God and the incarnation of the Mora Demon God each controlled a big flag. Fire and water coexisted!
Jiang Nan showed three faces and eight arms, and his eight hands held eight Divine King Swords. He looked majestic, and the Divine King Swords flew up and down. This time, other than the white jade bottle, the Tuṣita Divine Fire, the Devil Buster Sword, and the Sage Tree, he used all his means!
The purpose of his trip was to explore the mystery of the Golden Jade Plate, so there was no need to use the divine water and divine fire. The Devil Buster Sword and the Sage Tree were one of his assets, and it was not time to use his life-saving means.
Even so, Jiang Nan still felt the boundless pressure, and he could only nail himself to the small island, unable to move a step!
If he could not block it, he would die, and there would be no other outcome!
His Dharmic powers were being consumed crazily. Controlling so many Dharma treasures, using so many divine arts, maintaining the Origin Embryo Seal, Dark Embryo Seal, Nine Transformation Battle Body, and Three Faces and Eight Arms, the speed of consumption exceeded the speed of his cultivation recovery!
He finally knew how Buddha Xing Duan died. Buddha Xing Duan's cultivation must have been exhausted by this lake, and after he lost his cultivation, his Dao foundation was destroyed by the mirror light, and the dragon and phoenix devoured his flesh and blood!
Xing Duan's corporeal body was the body of a Buddha, and his recovery ability was even stronger than Buddha Xing Mi who guarded the Bridge of Helplessness. That dragon and phoenix must have eaten him over and over again until his corporeal body withered and died, and then they absorbed his divinity and divine sense!
If Jiang Nan's Dharmic powers were exhausted, he would definitely end up like Buddha Xing Duan!
Swish —
Jiang Nan suddenly opened up the Devil Prison Grotto-Heaven, and countless spirit stones fell into it, turning into surging cultivation to replenish his Dharmic powers. He finally found a foothold.
His Dharmic powers were constantly being used and recovered, making his Dharmic powers more and more pure. His originally shaky foundation gradually became incomparably solid.
Suddenly, there was a flash of divine light from his glabella, and the Saint Monarch God Tree waved its branches. Countless divine lights swept towards the dragon and phoenix, wanting to destroy the dragon and phoenix, and to explore the mysteries of the Dao Golden Jade Plate.
At this moment, the black lotus on the lake suddenly rose up, and the lotus enveloped the small island in between its petals, blocking off the divine lights.
Once the black lotus appeared, Jiang Nan groaned. He immediately felt the Dao Golden Jade Plate in his dantian being pulled by his qi, and it started to riot. The mirror light in his dantian surged out, and the dragon and phoenix surged out, one from the inside and the other from the outside, attacking each other!
