Chapter 4141: Tempering the Body with the True Fire of the Sun

“Slaying the Half-Saint Crocodile Dragon!”

“It seems Senior Brother Gu obtained quite a fortuitous opportunity from the Emperor’s Fall Star!”

On Qingqiu Peak, Ji Yang showed surprise upon receiving the news.

A Celestial Emperor defeating a Half-Saint!

Even with an Innate Celestial Body, this wasn’t easy.

After all,

contending with a Half-Saint is one thing;

defeating one is quite another.

While an Innate Celestial Body is powerful, not every Innate Celestial Body possesses the qualifications to defeat a Half-Saint.

Normally, one needs a fully matured Celestial Body to truly achieve this.

But Gu Qingyang clearly hadn’t reached that level.

This meant

he had obtained a tremendous fortuitous opportunity on the Emperor’s Fall Star.

Otherwise,

Gu Qingyang’s strength wouldn’t have increased so quickly.

However,

Ji Yang quickly suppressed this thought.

For him, improving his own strength was the most important thing right now.

Although Ji Yang had also obtained some fortuitous opportunities from the Emperor’s Fall Star, those opportunities were no longer significant to him.

After all, no matter how profound the Great Dao inheritance of the Emperor’s Fallen Star is, how many can compare to the level of a Dao Venerable?

It can be said

that possessing the complete memories of the ancient times is equivalent to grasping the greatest opportunity.

At present, his cultivation has truly reached the limit of the Immortal Emperor. If he takes another half step forward, he will be able to break through to the Half-Saint level and seek immortality.

It’s just a pity that

the Great Tribulation has not yet arrived.

Even if Ji Yang has enough foundation, there is no possibility of directly proving the Dao and achieving immortality.

Such suppression of the Heavenly Dao rules is not something that anyone can break.

Like Shen Changqing, directly seeking immortality in this era is ultimately very rare.

In fact,

it can be said that

Shen Changqing is the first existence that Ji Yang has seen in all his years of life who can break through to the Half-Saint level in the Dharma-ending Age.

That’s right—

the Dharma-ending Age!

For this era where immortality is not evident and all beings in the Immortal Realm find it difficult to break through to the Half-Saint level, it is enough to be called the Dharma-ending Age.

Immortality is impossible in the Dharma-ending Age, this is a consensus.

Any existence that can prove the Dao in the Dharma-ending Age is immeasurable.

Ji Yang had also seen such records in ancient texts. Those beings at that level, barring unforeseen circumstances, would eventually reach a height above the Dao Venerable realm.

“The Great Tribulation is still some time away, and in the end times, it’s impossible to attain the Dao. The only way is to continue cultivating the Great Sun Glazed Body.

The current ninth level is sufficient for most cultivators.

But for me, this lineage still has a long way to go!”

Ji Yang pondered.

The Great Sun Glazed Body!

It consists of thirty-three levels.

If one can cultivate to the peak of the thirty-three levels, their physical body can reach the Dao Venerable realm, and they might even be able to contend with the Sovereign.

If one truly reaches that point, without the Sovereign appearing, they would be virtually invincible in the world.

However, the problem lies in the extremely high difficulty of cultivating the Great Sun Glazed Body. According to the records of the Flame Sun Realm, only the first generation of the Founding Ancestor was able to cultivate this technique to its peak.

Even in Ji Yang’s previous life, he only managed to cultivate it to the twenty-ninth level.

Even so, with his twenty-ninth level of the Great Sun Glazed Body, Ji Yang had virtually no rivals among Dao Venerables.

After all, a physical body comparable to the Supreme Realm, combined with Dao Venerable cultivation, meant his strength was undeniable.

Currently ,

carrying memories of his past life

, all the cultivation techniques were thoroughly familiar to Ji Yang.

Normally, before reaching the peak of his past life, this lineage wouldn’t present any bottlenecks for him.

However,

the reality was that

cultivating such a supreme lineage was far from easy.

Even with his past life’s cultivation experience, Ji Yang still needed to slowly refine his physical body, and the resources required for cultivation were numerous, making it impossible to achieve success overnight.

“That scoundrel, though not quite at the Dao Venerable Realm, isn’t far off. To cleanse me of this mess, my current cultivation is still far too weak.

To put it mildly, if I could cultivate the Great Sun Glazed Body of the Zhou Tian to its peak level from my previous life, that would be enough to deal with him!”

A flash of cold light crossed Ji Yang’s eyes

as he thought of Ruoxu. He wanted nothing more than to grind this traitor to dust.

However,

Ji Yang also knew

that dealing with this person wouldn’t be easy.

The difference in their cultivation levels was too great; he could only improve his own strength step by step first.

With this in mind,

Ji Yang calmed his mind, connected his divine sense with heaven and earth, and began cultivating the Great Sun Glazed Body

of the Zhou Tian. The divine sun that had previously hung high in the sky seemed to undergo subtle changes; faint, imperceptible, scorching true fire descended from the darkness, instantly enveloping Ji Yang.

Solar True Fire!

This was a key technique in cultivating the Great Sun Glazed Body of the Zhou Tian.

By communicating with heaven and earth through divine thought, one can summon the true fire of the sun to descend upon the world, using this supreme immortal fire to temper one’s body, thus gradually strengthening the physical form.

However, in reality,

cultivating with the true fire of the sun is only necessary for the early stages of cultivating the Great Sun Glazed Body.

Later, once the physical body has become strong enough, simply

summoning the true fire of the sun becomes useless. But for Ji Yang at present, summoning the true fire of the sun is sufficient.

However—

the true fire of the sun is extremely domineering.

The sun hanging in the sky of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, capable of illuminating all three thousand six hundred immortal states, is incomparable to the suns and stars of other universes.

Every wisp of true fire of the sun contained within this sun is terrifying.

A slight carelessness

could result in even a half-saint being reduced to ashes.

Although Ji Yang was only drawing down a wisp of true solar fire in the darkness, and wasn’t actually cultivating on the sun, this level of true solar fire was still incredibly terrifying.

With every step of his cultivation, Ji Yang was completely focused, daring not to be careless or slack in the slightest.

After all, if he were careless, there would only be one fate awaiting him: being devoured by the true solar fire and ultimately dying.

It was precisely because the cultivation process of the Great Sun Glazed Body was extremely dangerous that most cultivators in the Flame Sun Realm found it difficult to cultivate this technique to a high level.

Many cultivators who practiced this technique couldn’t withstand the tempering of the true solar fire, ultimately meeting their demise.

Those who could truly endure the tempering of the true solar fire and cultivate step by step to the ninth level or higher were extremely rare in the Flame Sun Realm.

If it weren’t for the help of his memories from his previous life, it wouldn’t have been so easy for Ji Yang to reach this level.

Of course,

even so,

Ji Yang remained extremely cautious during his cultivation.

The True Fire of the Sun was domineering. In his previous life, he wouldn’t have feared such fire drawn from the heavens.

But now, this level of True Fire could kill him in the blink of an eye.

As the True Fire of the Sun enveloped his body, surging into his body through his pores and acupoints, it was accompanied by a searing pain that tore at his very soul. It felt as if he were in a furnace, surrounded by domineering immortal

fire

capable of incinerating everything, as if he could be reduced to ashes in the next instant.

Ji Yang’s expression was solemn, his mind tightly focused, without the slightest relaxation.

While silently enduring the burning of the True Fire of the Sun, he also used his divine sense to guide it, tempering his flesh and immortal bones.

A large amount of impurities were gradually burned away by this immortal fire, and his flesh and blood seemed to undergo subtle changes under the tempering of the True Fire of the Sun.

As for the excruciating pain that penetrated to the very marrow of his soul, it was not enough to move Ji Yang.
