Chapter 3969: Innate Dao Body

Taiyi Immortal Sect.

Inside an immortal mansion.

A figure in white and green robes appeared, bowing respectfully to Daoist Taisu.

“Disciple greets Master!”

“You’ve arrived.”

Daoist Taisu nodded slightly, then with a flick of his sleeve, two cups of immortal tea appeared out of thin air. Luo Xinghe sat down opposite him as if they were old friends.

“The reason I summoned you here is to tell you that the Crimson Jade Dao Palace will emerge in ten million to thirty million years.

Before that, you must prepare yourself.

If you can enter the Crimson Jade Dao Palace again and find an opportunity, perhaps you can contend for the top spot before the next great calamity.

If you can ascend to the Immortal Emperor’s Stele, it will greatly benefit you.

Breaking through to the Half-Saint realm, or even entering the Saint realm, will be much easier!”

Crimson Jade Dao Palace! Upon hearing this name, Luo Xinghe’s eyes flickered slightly.

He was naturally familiar with the Crimson Jade Dao Palace.

To be precise,

this wasn’t Luo Xinghe’s first time entering the Crimson Jade Dao Palace.

He naturally understood the dangers and opportunities within those ancient Dao Palaces.

In fact,

his own progress was inextricably linked to the Crimson Jade Dao Palace.

“Master, rest assured, when the Crimson Jade Dao Palace opens next time, this disciple will surely seize the opportunity to ascend to the Immortal Emperor’s Stele!”

A glint of light flashed in Luo Xinghe’s eyes, and his previously calm face now held a fierce fighting spirit and a competitive heart.

Ascend to the Immortal Emperor’s Stele!

He thought of another name:

Shen Changqing! This man wasn’t from any top-tier sect, but rather a cultivator who ascended from the lower realms. Yet, even so, he was able to overpower all the Immortal Emperors and ultimately ascend to the Immortal Emperor’s Stele.

To be honest,

Luo Xinghe had always wanted to fight him, but unfortunately, he hadn’t had the chance.

After all, this man had disappeared two thousand years ago.

Now that the Crimson Jade Dao Palace was about to open, Luo Xinghe believed that ascending to the Immortal Emperor’s Stele before the next great calamity would be no problem at all.

With this thought in mind, Luo Xinghe asked, “Is there still no news of Shen Changqing?”

“This boy has offended the six sects, nine dynasties, and thirteen holy lands of Shenfeng Prefecture. Without top-tier forces backing him, how dare he show

his face? However, he likely possesses great fortune, but the heavenly secrets are obscured, making it difficult to predict his whereabouts for the time being.

But for such a junior, a moment of glory is the limit; truly reaching the pinnacle is impossible.

Therefore, you don’t need to worry too much about him.

You possess an innate Dao body; once this immortal body reaches its full potential, I believe there will be few who can truly rival you,”

said Tai Su Daojun calmly. This disciple before him was only fortunate in his current circumstances; otherwise, he would have already entered the realm of longevity.

An innate Dao body!

In the countless years of the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s heritage, it has only truly appeared twice.

The first innate Dao body belonged to an ancestor from ancient times, who had the potential to reach the Dao Venerable realm.

But unfortunately,

he was ambushed and killed by other powerful figures, ultimately stopping at the Saint realm.

When this news reached them, the entire Taiyi Immortal Sect was enraged, unleashing a massive calamity that annihilated countless forces involved.

Now,

Luo Xinghe is the second person to possess an Innate Dao Body.

He truly lives up to his reputation as an Innate Immortal Body holder; his talent and comprehension are both top-tier. In less than a Celestial King Era, he had already reached the Celestial Emperor Realm.

And now,

he has remained at the peak of the Celestial Emperor Realm for many years, unable to break through to the Half-Saint Realm, simply because the Great Tribulation has not yet arrived.

Because of this, Daoist Taisu holds this disciple in high regard.

“Mastering an Innate Dao Body… I’m afraid it’s not that easy!”

Luo Xinghe shook his head. Mastering such an immortal body is extremely difficult. Even with the Taiyi Immortal Sect’s resources and foundation, it would only achieve minor mastery.

To achieve true mastery,

one must find an unparalleled opportunity.

Tai Su Daojun smiled faintly, “I have already used my power to deduce the secrets of heaven for you. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the opportunity for your immortal body to reach its full potential lies in the Crimson Jade Dao Palace.

As long as you can find the opportunity there, you can take the final step.”

He

paused, then flipped his hand, revealing a jade talisman.

“This was crafted from a wisp of heavenly creation I extracted. Take it; once you enter the Crimson Jade Dao Palace, this talisman will guide you.”

“Thank you, Master!” Luo Xinghe looked at the jade talisman, then solemnly put it away, his face showing gratitude.

Such methods of deduce heavenly secrets would be nothing to a half-step Dao Venerable elsewhere.

But—

this matter involved the Crimson Jade Dao Palace.

Tai Su Daojun’s deduction of its secrets must have come at a considerable price. How could Luo Xinghe not feel grateful?

However , there were some things he didn’t say aloud, but silently kept in his heart. … “Hoo!” Inside the first level of space, Shen Changqing opened his eyes. His divine sense detached from the jade-colored finger bone, and the pressure he had been under in his sea of consciousness dissipated. “As expected of a Body Dao Venerable, the understanding of the physical body by a powerhouse of this level is truly extraordinary!” Although the cultivation method practiced by that Crimson Jade Dao Venerable was not the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture, and the path he followed was not the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture, the three thousand great paths all lead to the same destination. From the finger bone of that Dao Venerable, Shen Changqing faintly glimpsed a wisp of mystery from that supreme being of the past. Although it was only a wisp of mystery, it was as heavy as a galaxy, enough to overturn the universe. It took Shen Changqing a long time to digest it little by little. And within this wisp of mystery, Shen Changqing’s understanding of the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture greatly increased. This change in understanding was much stronger than his previous efforts to close himself off and study the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture. In short… Beings like the Crimson Jade Daoist, who can cultivate their physical body to the level of a Daoist, are extraordinary in themselves.

Although the opponent had perished, their remaining physical body and immortal bones still carried the opponent’s supreme Dao.

Observing their bones and

comprehending their Dao was of great benefit to Shen Changqing.

The Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture, however profound, was merely a semi-saint level cultivation technique; how could it compare to a Dao Venerable?

Using the supreme Dao of the former Dao Venerable to reverse-engineer the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture was like divine assistance.

But unfortunately—

comprehension was one thing,

but cultivating the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture, tempering the physical body, and refining the immortal bones and blood required a large amount of cultivation resources to sustain the consumption.

Now, the Chaos Saint Bone Pill was exhausted, and the Seven Aperture Blood Ginseng was also used up. Although other cultivation resources were available, their effectiveness was far inferior to the former two.

As a result,

Shen Changqing’s comprehension of the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture improved rapidly, but his physical progress was relatively slow.

Of course,

this slowness was relative.

Compared to his previous relentless cultivation of the Heavenly Fiend Immortal Scripture in seclusion, this progress is now considered fast. Currently,

Shen Changqing looks at the jade-colored finger bone, not continuing his comprehension.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but that he can’t.

Comprehending the Dao Venerable Immortal Bone, bearing supreme Dao essence, is already a considerable burden for him.

If he were to force himself to comprehend it for an extended period, let alone advance his cultivation, he would inevitably suffer a collapse of his sea of consciousness and severe damage to his soul.

Therefore,

Shen Changqing naturally needs to put it aside for now to recover from his losses.

At the same time,

he takes out the Demon God Dao Mirror, scans it with his divine sense, and numerous pieces of information emerge.

“Crimson Jade Dao Venerable… Primordial Era—”

Shen Changqing’s eyes flicker slightly, his understanding of the Crimson Jade Dao Venerable growing even more.

Before his seclusion, he had instructed the Daoist Alliance to secretly gather information about the Crimson Jade Dao Venerable. Now, a thousand years have passed in the outside world, and the Daoist Alliance has naturally collected a considerable amount of useful information.

This information

has been transmitted to Shen Changqing one by one.

However…

The era of the Crimson Jade Dao Venerable is far removed from the present, so the information that can be gathered is limited.

Compared to information about the Crimson Jade Dao Venerable, more information about the Crimson Jade Dao Palace has been collected.

“The time and place of each appearance of the Crimson Jade Dao Palace are different; it can appear anywhere in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm or even in the Chaos.

Holding the Crimson Jade Token allows one to know in advance where the Crimson Jade Dao Palace will appear, and with this token as a guide, one can find its location…”

Shen Changqing digested this information and gained a deeper understanding of the Crimson Jade Dao Palace.

Simply put ,

without the Crimson Jade Token, let alone entering the Crimson Jade Dao Palace, even finding it would be difficult.

After all, the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm is vast and boundless, and the Chaos beyond it is even more expansive. Unless the Crimson Jade Dao Palace appears directly before one’s eyes, it is very difficult to find its existence without the guidance of the Crimson Jade Token.

There is also the fact

that the Crimson Jade Dao Palace does not appear indefinitely.

It appears every so often and then disappears every so often; if you miss it, you have to wait for the next time.

According to the information provided by the Dao Alliance, the last appearance of the Crimson Jade Dao Palace dates back nine ancient immortal eras.

The time before that was even further back, reaching twenty-three ancient immortal eras.

“The time interval between the last and the one before that was a full fourteen ancient immortal eras, while the interval between this time and the last is at most nine.

It’s clear that not only is the location of the Crimson Jade Dao Palace elusive, but even the timing of its appearance is difficult to predict.

The best way to accurately determine the time and location of the Crimson Jade Dao Palace is to obtain the Crimson Jade Token.

Alternatively, one could use powerful divine abilities to forcibly deduce the secrets of heaven to accurately capture the Crimson Jade Dao Palace’s whereabouts!”

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

The latter was easier said than done. Even a powerhouse like Jiang Daoxuan could only deduce a rough time.

Therefore,

the best method

was still to obtain the Crimson Jade Token.

In fact, many forces in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm were indeed acting in this manner.

Whenever news of the Crimson Jade Token appears, it attracts numerous forces and even rogue cultivators who will fight tooth and nail to seize it.

No one wants to miss the opportunity to enter the Crimson Jade Dao Palace and receive the legacy of the Ancient Dao Venerable.

Although cultivators at the Half-Saint level and above are not allowed to enter, obtaining the Crimson Jade Token can still provide their descendants with a chance to change their fate.
