”Well, you've said that this skull can be refined into an Elixir Furnace. How is it done?” After returning to the Wuyang Region, Wang She instantly began to do closed-door training to digest the benefits he got in Taiyuan Heaven. While Zhou Bao took Li Xiu around his territory before they both began to do closed-door training.
After all, the people came out from Taiyuan Heaven alive, all gained huge benefits. If they did not digest them, they would not rest assured, just like Golden Rooster. In order to disown him, Zhou Bao did not speak to him at either Blue Whale Island nor Taiyuan Heaven. Just as Zhou Bao tried to ask about his information, he had already gone into closed-door training.
Since all of them were doing closed-door training, Zhou Bao was no exception.
He was too powerful, and thus, every time he made a breakthrough during closed-door training, he would cause great chaos and destruction, which was nothing serious earlier.
However, he was married now. He had a wife and untold servants. He could not destroy his Lord Mansion at will.
He could not show his prowess in this way either.
Therefore, he especially selected a site on Jilei Mountain to do closed-door training.
It was a deep valley on the mountainside. Looking from outside, it was smoggy and cloudy. Birds and beasts were rarely seen around it.
Moreover, there was a poison swamp that was emitting insidious spirit.
Surrounding it were dead twigs and withered leaves. Because it consisted of old trees and crows and looked completely gloomy, it was not a good place for a righteous person to practice.
However, Zhou Bao thought it was a perfect place.
He was not demanding. His requirements for a practicing site were quiet and unoccupied.
As for the essence of the world that other practitioners required the most, he did not give a shit.
He did not need to care about it. His practice had nothing to do with the surrounding essence of the world. His accumulation was enough and his foundation was extremely solid. At present, rather than absorb the essence of the world, his main task was to make full use of the tremendous pneuma that was stored in his body.
The first thing he needed to do was to inquire about the usage of the Innate Deity's skull that he had acquired.
It was like a yellow jade and he knew it was unusual. However, he could not figure out its specialty. It was just like a skull that was carved completely out of yellow jade, it was like the ordinary artwork that he had seen in his previous life.
”Since you've put your Tusita Fire in it, you just need to carve some formations now!” Green Spirit said gently. His psywave quivered strangely as if he was thinking about something.
”Formations? What kind of formations? What should I do?”Zhou Bao asked.
Patterns came out from Green Spirit's psywave one after another and directly imprinted into Zhou Bao's mind. ”These are the formations. The skull of the deity... Eh...”
While Zhou Bao was receiving the patterns, Green Spirit emanated a voice in surprise.
”What's up?” Zhou Bao asked.
”There must be something wrong with you, boy. How can your spirit be that strong? I cannot communicate with you now unless you agree. Besides, I cannot sense your physical condition. Your strength seems to have disappeared all of a sudden, but at the same time, it seems to have increased by several times. I completely cannot figure out what has happened to you. No matter how miraculous the Pure Yang Water is, it wouldn't bring you such a change!”
”How about adding on the remains of the Innate Deity?” Zhou Bao laughed straightforwardly. ”Moreover, my Real Dragon's Nine Acupoints had a small problem!” Zhou Bao then began to talk about the colossal Dantian that was made up of his nine acupoints, and the tremendous golden Genuine Soul that had been stored in his Dantian together with the mysterious yellow energy that he had absorbed in the Innate Deity. Green Spirit was astonished and bemused.
”Are you serious? I'm unable to examine your physical condition at this moment!” Green Spirit said dubiously. He thought of a possibility in Zhou Bao's words. However, if it was true, he was way too lucky, because it was only a legend in the antiquity times.
”Of course. I don't need to cheat you!”
”Then you must try to operate the Golden Essence in your giant Dantian and show it to me!”
”It'll be fabulous if I can operate it. The Golden Essence is about to solidify. I'm unable to operate it!” Zhou Bao said. He had tried several times as he came back. However, the golden power in his giant Dantian was like a huge yellow crystal. He could not operate it at all.
”Then show me your Internal Qi right now!” Green Spirit said. His expectation was revealed by his psywave.
”Fine!” Zhou Bao nodded in agreement. He operated Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique, and a dark golden flame-like airflow appeared on his palm.
”Hiss!” As it showed up, Green Spirit could not help gasping in wonderment. He stepped backward dozens of feet and then stopped. He looked at Zhou Bao fearfully and said, ”Lad, how lucky you are?! This in no way is Internal Qi. It's Dharma power!”
”Dharma power?!” Zhou Bao was astonished. He glanced at the strange flame in his palm and said, ”No way! You've said that I can only possess it after I pass through Thunder Tribulation and become a Genuine Immortal. Moreover, it possesses special Divine Senses and other functions. Why haven't I found anything in it?”
”This is Dharma power. The main purpose of undergoing the so-called Thunder Tribulation is to let your Internal Qi be infected with Divine Qi. You've finished this process through your wife. Your body has been strengthened by the Pure Yang Water, and your Internal Qi is mutated through the Pure Yang Water as well. Presently, your Internal Qi contains Dharma power rather than the Real Essence. Besides, your Demonic Fire Internal Qi has completely been turned into Real Essence. Real Essence mingling with Dharma power is the hallmark of a Metaphysic Individual Immortal, whose cultivation has reached the peak of the Marrow-cleansing Realm.”
Green Spirit stopped for a while and then continued speaking. ”If I'm right, the material that is stored in your giant Dantian is the pure and immense Dharma power. To be precise, it's golden Dharma power. I don't even know what should I say now!”
”Do you mean it's a good thing?”
”For others, it's not a good thing, because the stronger they are now, the more powerful the Genuine Immortal Tribulation will be. However, you've been purified by the Pure Yang Water. Except for your spirit, your other parts are as powerful as that of experts among Metaphysic Individual Immortals. As you refine your spirit to a certain degree, you'll pass through the Thunder Tribulation and achieve Genuine Immortal Karma Rank by skipping the stage of being an Individual Immortal. Only some legendary mighty figures in primitive times could do it. Even in antiquity times, few people could skip the Metaphysic Realm to be a Genuine Immortal directly. What a powerful man you are!”
”Does that mean I'll encounter the Thunder Tribulation soon?”
”Yes. If you don't suppress your cultivation purposefully, you'll face the Thunder Tribulation in 10 to 20 years. At that time, if you're lucky enough to avoid from being split into ashes, you must achieve Genuine Immortal Karmic Rank!”
”I don't want to become ashes!” Zhou Bao murmured. He was somewhat depressed. Achieving the Body of True Immortality was a good thing for him. After all, strength was everything in this world!
However, before this, he must encounter the Thunder Tribulation!
The Thunder Tribulation of Genuine Immortals could not be easily passed through by common people. They were not like protagonists in novels that had privileges either. Passing through the Thunder Tribulation was not funny, rather, it would take someone's life. Among 10 Individual Immortals, eight would die of the Thunder Tribulation. Among the remaining two lucky dogs, one would end up losing all his magic weapons.
Moreover, Zhou Bao was different from other ordinary Individual Immortals. The latter ones were listed immortals, and some of their Original Spirit was on the Golden Book of Fate. Even if they were split into ashes, their Original Spirit could remain. However, Zhou Bao ascended the Realm of True Immortality from Level Nine directly. If he failed, he would become ashes and leave nothing.
”10 years! It's way too short. What if I suppress my cultivation?”
”That will depend on your situation. But I must remind you that the more fiercely you suppress your cultivation, the more profound it'll be, and the more fierce the Thunder Tribulation will be!”
”Will it be troublesome for me? Why did you say that it's harmful to others? What about me?”
”No, it won't. It'll be extremely easy for you to pass through the Thunder Tribulation as long as you refine this skull into a fairy Elixir Furnace!” Green Spirit revealed strong envy in his psywave. ”The skull of the Innate Deity! You've absorbed its remains. What are you afraid of? Once you finish refining the Elixir Furnace, even a Thunder Tribulation of 18 layers cannot restrain you!”
”Can I be that powerful?” Zhou Bao was exalted. His heart moved, and the skull that was like a yellow jade flew out of his Dantian. The Tusita Fire was burning in the skull as if it had integrated with the skull, and the two eye holes emitted abstruse light as if the skull suddenly possessed life.
”The Innate Deity's skull is a fairy weapon with unimaginable power. If it's refined properly, it'll be extremely powerful. I believe that you should have sensed it now!” Green Spirit said this as Zhou Bao was integrating formations, one after another into the skull.
”Yeah. I've already sensed it!” Leading the Tusita Fire in the skull to burn, Zhou Bao turned his dark golden Internal Qi into formations and spells. Then he infused them into the skull. He could feel the mighty Divine Sense contained in the fairy weapon that belonged to him.
Suddenly, the skull quivered. It flew higher and higher and became bigger. All of a sudden, it turned into a 100-foot radius giant skull. A bright light flashed through Zhou Bao's eyes, and then a golden light appeared behind his head. His Golden Flame Mirror flew out automatically and then flew into the giant skull directly. Then, a flashing golden light integrated with the Tusita Fire in the skull. It was shimmering in the eye holes of the skull. Later on, it flew out and shot into the place between the skull's eyebrows.
”This is...”
The sudden change stunned Zhou Bao. He found that his Golden Flame Mirror really infused with the skull, and turned into a golden spot in between its eyebrows. It gradually melted and finally disappeared.
Later on, the giant skull turned back to its normal size. It floated in front of Zhou Bao and went in-between his eyebrows.
”What?!” Zhou Bao was flabbergasted. But soon after, he felt very comfortable. After entering the place between his eyebrows, the skull turned into a heat flow and ran through his whole body. He felt an unparalleled strong sense all over his body.
Yes. Amazingly strong!
”My body has been strengthened by 100 times at least. Its intensity is greater than that of the Pure Yang Celestial Device!” As he sensed the benefits brought by this skull, he was overjoyed. Then, a bigger surprise struck his spirit again.
