He didn't think that there would be so many conditions for Asura cultivators to progress to the Body Integration Stage. For example, the Core of Seven Orifices under the pond was an indispensable item, but both male and female Asura cultivators had to progress to the Body Integration Stage in different environments.
As such, it appeared that there were very few Body Integration Stage cultivators who could meet these stringent conditions. However, from another perspective, it was clear that they were far more powerful than cultivators of the same cultivation base.
If they continued to progress to the Grand Ascension Stage, they would definitely be able to reign supreme over the Upper Spirit Nine Realms. It was no wonder that the Asura Race was able to occupy the largest paradise in the Upper Spirit Nine Realms with such a small population.
However, his current cultivation art was still the Nine Transformations of Fire, and he had never considered switching to another cultivation art. As such, he didn't know if this would affect his progress to the Body Integration Stage.
After thinking about it, Yi Tian still felt that he had to clarify this matter before making a decision. He coughed lightly and withdrew his thoughts, then turned around and asked, "I now have two cultivation methods, the Asura Clan and the Buddhist Sect. If I use the Buddhist Sect's secret technique to raise my cultivation to the Unification Stage, will it affect the Asura Clan's cultivation method?"
"That's a rather troublesome matter. The best way is to use the Asura Race's cultivation art as the foundation to make a breakthrough. That way, there's no chance of failure," Yao Jing replied. "If you forcefully use the Buddhist Sect's cultivation art to break through the Body Integration Stage bottleneck, then your cultivation base will drop to the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul Stage."
"Why is that?" Yi Tian was perplexed.
"I don't know the specifics, but I heard from Jiayan that Emperor Luo Qin was once in a similar situation. In the end, when he was attempting to break through to the Body Integration Stage, he was struck by two heavenly tribulations as a result," Yao Jing replied.
He didn't think that there would be such a troublesome issue. This had never occurred during his previous breakthroughs. It appeared that the Body Integration Stage really was one of the three most crucial bottlenecks in cultivation. He had learned that the most difficult bottleneck for cultivators was to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
Once he mastered the Dao Fetus Yuanying, he would have made a great leap in his path of Dao. It would be possible for him to kill an early Jin Dan like a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator. However, under normal circumstances, it was impossible for a late-stage Jin Dan to kill a early-stage Yuanying. This was because the gap between the two levels was like a natural chasm. Crossing this chasm would lead to a completely different world.
As for the second hurdle, it was to break through from the Spirit Severing Stage to the Combination Stage. His previous cultivation had been smooth. Even if he ran into some trouble, it wouldn't be a big deal. But now, it was different.
Ever since the Yuanying Stage, the embryo of Dao he had cultivated was now Yuanying. After the Divinity Transformation Stage, the two parts of his Divinity Separation Stage had been condensed to the extreme. Once he reached the Body Integration Stage, he would be able to let Yuanying fly out of his body and use his abilities.
This was like the process of a young baby growing into a child, then a teenager, and finally a crown. It was not a matter of quantity at all.
Now, he was about to face the second hurdle on his path of Dao. He had never considered this before because the Combination Stage was an unreachable realm for ordinary cultivators. There was no need to consider it at all.
But now, Yi Tian had no choice but to take it seriously. After so many years in the Devil World, he had cultivated the Celestial Body and Demon Body to a certain extent. His cultivation had also skyrocketed to the mid-stage of the Spirit Severing Stage.
If it weren't for the fact that he had to worry about the special nature of the Li Fire Nine Transformations Technique, he wouldn't have to suppress the speed of his cultivation progress. With his own experience, he could cultivate to the late-stage of the Spirit Severing Stage or even the peak of the Spirit Severing Stage.
Now that he thought about it, he had to treat this matter seriously. After all, advancing to the Combination Stage was definitely not a small matter. Besides, in the Upper Spirit Nine Realms, other than the Buddha Spirit Realm, there were only a few Combination Stage cultivators in the other realms. Therefore, it was definitely not a simple matter to advance. He would only take the risk if he had more than a 70% chance of success.
Seeing that he seemed to be lost in thought, Yao Jing didn't rush him and waited quietly on the side. After a while, Yi Tian sighed and said, "Well, I will enter Exquisite Paradise to explore first. You guard outside for me. Also, I will leave the Seven Orifices Glazed Core to you. "
"Sir, don't worry. I will take care of this place," Yao Jing said with a solemn face.
After giving instructions, Yi Tian's figure flashed and flew directly to the small island in the middle of the pool. After sizing up the crack for a while, his eyes landed on a three-feet-tall stone stele not far in front of him, with the words' Exquisite Paradise 'written on it in golden seal script.
Yi Tian was startled. Since entering the Spirit Realm, he had only seen golden seal script in the Sumeru Plane of the Immortal World fragments. He didn't expect to see such script here. Needless to say, there might be information left behind by the Immortal World here.
Then, he stretched out six hands and made hand seals. He aimed at the seal on the gap and gently tapped it. The spiritual power of the six hands divided into six points and opened a three feet wide gap on the restriction. When Yi Tian saw this, the corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. His body flashed away, leaving behind an afterimage. His main body had indeed instantly entered through the opening.
After entering, Yi Tian found that his body suddenly became weightless and sank. Not long after, he felt his feet touch the ground. After standing firm, he came back to his senses and looked around. He found that he was standing in the middle of a temple.
He looked up and saw that the passage he came from was about a hundred feet above the ground. All around them were huge stone statues that were badly damaged. It was obvious that a fierce battle had broken out here and destroyed these statues.
Could it be that Luo Qin was the one who did it? This thought flashed through Yi Tian's mind but was quickly denied by himself. He took out the Taiyuan Sword and slashed it across the remains of the stone statues. However, he was shocked to find that his invincible Spirit Brilliance Thousand Transformation Technique could only leave a thin mark on the remains.
He was very clear about the power of this technique. Not to mention the stone statues, even a heaven-grade defensive spirit treasure would have a hard time blocking his attack.
However, the situation in front of him made him cautious. He put away the Taiyuan Sword and continued forward. He counted a total of five stone statues. The one in the middle was sitting cross-legged on the ground, while the other four were arranged in pairs on the left and right.
When he walked forward, he saw that more than half of the stone statue in the middle had been destroyed. It was almost impossible to distinguish its true appearance. However, he could see that the stone statue's head was intact on the ground. After looking over, he found that it was the three-headed Asura Body.
Yi Tian's eyelids slightly trembled. He thought, "Could it be that this place enshrines an ancestor of the Asura Tribe?" After scanning with his divine sense, he found that there was a stone table three feet long and one foot wide in front of the stone statue. There seemed to be some writing on the table.
A purple light flashed in his eyes and he used the Heavenly Devil Eye to see the words on the stone table. He said, "It's written in golden seal text."
