Xu Qing bowed to thank the Palace Master for guiding him.
This guidance had arrived the moment he molded his immortal body, so it was extremely helpful to the pure immortal path he wanted to take.
It would make his path even more correct.
After bowing, the Immortal Source dissipated and transformed into dandelions. As for the dandelions, they were also blurry. Finally, they completely dissipated in Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness.
Only the nine great secret repositories were still erupting with rumbling sounds. In one of the secret repositories, the Fishing the Moon From the Well divine ability was circulating, emitting the power of void and the intent of space.
Xu Qing’s soul also returned to his consciousness at this moment. The moment he opened his eyes, the five elements in his eyes erupted.
He already knew how to walk the rest of the way.
“The so-called Eight Extremities Dao…”
“It’s the original rule needed for the birth of the star ring.”
“The first five extremities are relatively simple. After that, the three extremities… Due to the limitations of understanding of the cultivator known as the Immortal Ancestor, who could not trace space and time, the Eight Extremities passed down after him required self-completion after the first five extremities.”
“Therefore, there were different Eight Extremities Dao.”
“However, in reality, the true Eight Extremities Dao have metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, time and space.”
“This is the Seven Extremities.”
“As for the other three extremes…”
“Xu Qing recalled the totem he had seen earlier, which seemed to depict the birth of the star ring. In the crystal shattered into ten pieces, the last three pieces remained vague even to him.”
“Therefore, the true name of this cultivation art should be called the Ten Extremities.”
Xu Qing mumbled.
What made him feel that this path was the correct one was… the irregular crystal that had shattered into ten pieces.
“When they are pieced together, the complete crystal formed…”
Xu Qing’s soul stirred as he fell into deep thought.
Its complete shape was exactly the same as his purple crystal!
However, Xu Qing knew that now wasn’t the time to think deeply about the source of his purple crystal.
The most important thing now was to complete the final molding of his body.
As for time, he actually didn’t waste it. Although the period of comprehension was long, in reality, the time spent in the Immortal Source was only thirty breaths.
As for the main world, only an instance passed.
At the next instant, Xu Qing’s soul power surged, his divine sense formed a sound that emerged from his nose and seemed to echo in his sea of consciousness.
“Metal!”
This wasn’t Wanggu.
This seclusion site of Nether Flame was isolated from the outside world. It was a separate existence and was completely sealed off.
Even the five elements were different from the ones in the vast external world.
Therefore, if one wanted to borrow the power of heaven and earth here to complete their five elements, there would be flaws. For example, if one reached the Dao in this cultivation site, they would be restricted here.
This wasn’t what Xu Qing had chosen.
What he chose was the five elements corresponding to his own organs!
By using his own five organs, he became the source of the five elements. In the future, whether it was secluded realms, Wanggu, or the starry sky, no matter where or when, he would not be restrained.
Because he was using his own body, he would be free.
Only then would it be the path of pure immortal and the Dao of extreme immortal.
Metal corresponded to the lungs. The lungs had the properties of purification and contraction, aligning with the attributes of metal. The lungs governed Qi, controlled breathing, and were related to the emotion of worry, opening at the nose.
At this moment, as the sound rang out, the seven emotions and six desires were activated, serving as a guide. The metal power of his physical lungs, emitting pure metal energy, was integrated into a secret repository furnace, refined internally, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into the Metal Dao!
This secret repository erupted shockingly.
Immediately after, extreme anger rose in Xu Qing’s emotions. He let this anger erupt, forming a bridge and transforming his divine sense into a voice.
“Wood!”
Wood corresponded to the liver. The liver had the properties of growth, development, regulation, and smoothness, aligning with the attributes of wood. The liver governed the smooth flow of Qi and was related to the emotion of anger.
At that moment, his liver trembled and the intent of growth erupted, merging into a secret repository furnace.
Wood Dao!
After that…
“Water!”
Water corresponded to the kidneys. The kidneys had the properties of nourishment, downward movement, coolness, and storage, aligning with the attributes of water. The kidneys governed water metabolism and were the place where essence was stored, related to the emotion of fear, opening at the ears.
The moment it was transmitted, the sound of the world’s creation echoed in the secret repository and the Water Dao was formed inside.
At that moment, three out of the five elements were formed. Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed as he chanted the fourth sound of the five elements.
“Fire!”
Xu Qing pressed his tongue against the roof of his mouth and spoke.
His heartbeat rang out like thunder.
Fire corresponded to the heart. The heart had the properties of propulsion, warmth, and upward movement, aligning with the attributes of fire. The heart was the ruler of the organs, corresponding to the emotion of joy, opening at the tongue.
It fused into the secret repository and formed the Fire Dao.
“Earth!”
Earth corresponded to the spleen. The spleen had the properties of transformation, support, and reception, aligning with the attributes of earth. The spleen was the source of the body’s transformation, transforming the essence of water and transporting it throughout the body, corresponding to the emotion of thinking, opening at the mouth.
Earth Dao formed!
At this instant, all five elements appeared.
Reflected in Xu Qing, his five orifices—nose, eyes, ears, tongue, and mouth— were all open, as if five immortals were presiding over them. External evil could not invade even slightly.
The names of these five immortals were Worry, Anger, Fear, Joy, and Thought.
However, the five elements were only five elements now and not the extreme!
Hence, Xu Qing took a deep breath.
Immediately, the origin energy crystals that had decomposed from the Great Emperor’s body under his wish became the best nutrients at this instant.
They gathered together and fused into Xu Qing’s body, nourishing his organs.
This caused the power of his five internal organs to continue rising.
As the power of his five internal organs rose, the five elements also strengthened, connecting to the secret repositories and burning crazily inside.
In an instant, the crystals outside decreased rapidly and continuously transformed into endless nutrients, causing the five elements to become increasingly dense and extreme. Finally, under the monstrous eruption and refinement of the secret repositories]…
Lightning exploded!
Metal became extreme metal, wood became extreme wood, water became extreme water, fire became extreme fire, and earth became extreme earth!
The five extremities of the five elements were completed!
An astonishing aura towered into the sky from Xu Qing’s body, shaking the world.
As for the sea of consciousness in his body, six of the nine secret repositories were burning.
“Metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. These are the five extremities. The space formed by Fishing the Moon From the Well is the sixth extremity, the Extreme Space Dao.”
Xu Qing’s eyes gleamed. At this moment, the Sundial gnomons moved in unison. In an instant, the nine Sundials aligned, and the time scales reached unity, suddenly appearing within the seventh secret repository.
They formed time!
That was the Extreme Time Dao!
“The Seventh Extremity has been formed!”
Xu Qing mumbled. His soul body stood up in his sea of consciousness and stood on the secret repository.
Two of his secret repositories were still empty.
“I’ll perfect it in the future.”
“These seven extremes are enough for me to break through the Spirit Repository and step into Nihility.”
Xu Qing squinted, not paying attention to the two empty secret repositories inside. His mind recalled the scene in the second dandelion he had seen in the Immortal Source Land, where that person’s true bodies had become one.
“It’s not difficult to form true bodies.”
“As for the unity, that person’s method was indeed ingenious; what is needed is an evil soul.”
“As for the evil souls, although I have them, they aren’t in my current body.”
“But I have formed the five elements with my five organs, which are inherently one with me. Why would I need to rely on the guiding force of an external soul?”
Xu Qing raised his head.
“Then… return to one!”
The instant he spoke, all the secret repositories under him instantly burned to the extreme. An unprecedented rumbling sound erupted like a volcano.
Repository gates formed.
And they all opened!
What erupted wasn’t pure fire but the power of the five elements, time, and space.
Seven Extremities, Unity!
A silver light formed, propelled by the secret repositories, breaking through Xu Qing’s sea of consciousness. It shook his physical body, roared in his mind, and reverberated through his soul.
Finally, a scene similar to the totem Xu Qing had seen in the first dandelion seed appeared.
That was the creation of the world, the formation of the star ring.
It was… the opening of the heavens and the splitting of the earth!
It opened the heavens to return and split the earth of the spirit void.
It turned the void into ruins!
Like a grand tomb, it buried the mundane past and nurtured the immortal future!
The silver light divided into seven extremities, scattering traces within the ruins. As the thoughts arose, infinite laws evolved, forming endless rules, traversing all realms of the Nihility.
Everything was natural.
Everything fell into place.
It was as if, by walking on the right path, the results obtained would inevitably be correct.
After that… Xu Qing made up his mind. He borrowed the remaining initial origin crystals outside his body and began his final sprint.
The sky in his body had opened and the ground had been split.
The grand tomb had buried the mundane and was nurturing the immortal.
Next… it was time to break open the earth within his body and shatter the sky within, as if breaking through the shackles of life!
It allowed the immortals contained in it to revive from the tomb and form the great world!
Hence, the great tomb erupted and the nihility land surged with power, forming an extreme impact that shook the sky in his body.
The sky collapsed!
Xu Qing’s physical body reverberated with a booming sound. Corresponding to the location of his lungs, a vortex manifested externally, within which a vast grand world suddenly took shape!
He was finally advancing to the Soul Accumulation realm!
Or rather, to be precise, this realm on Xu Qing’s body could also be called Immortal Accumulation!
As for the first great world that appeared, this world represented extremity, with metal as the extreme element.
It could be called the Extreme Metal World!
After the first great world appeared, Xu Qing’s breakthrough continued.
A world with wood as the extreme element appeared outside his liver.
It was the Extreme Wood World.
This wasn’t the end. Next was the Extreme Water World, the Extreme Fire World, the Extreme Earth World-
Outside his five internal organs, five worlds opened!
As for the sixth world, the Extreme Space World, formed on his left shoulder!
The seventh world, Extreme Time World, formed on his right shoulder!
At this moment, the seven great worlds all rumbled. A formidable aura erupted from these seven worlds and fused into Xu Qing’s body.
Above the transparent sea, Xu Qing’s eyes suddenly opened!
His body emitted an immortal aura. Coupled with his peerless appearance, it was as though he had interpreted the true meaning of the word ‘immortal’.
Staring around, Xu Qing felt as though a lifetime had passed.
He sensed his current body and cultivation. After he was in a daze, a hint of intense battle intent appeared in his eyes.
This time, he had experienced danger and lost his divine avatar. However, danger was often accompanied by opportunity. If one could grasp it, they would be able to soar into the sky.
And he had grabbed it.
Finally, he bypassed the restrictions of the divine body and walked his own path.
Moreover, he pushed the Seven Extremities to an unprecedented peak.
There were still some origin energy crystals outside his body. With a wave of
Xu Qing’s hand, he swept these crystals toward the countless worms surrounding the bone cauldron.
“Eldest Senior Brother?”
Xu Qing calmly spoke.
The worms let out sounds of laughter and unceremoniously sucked the origin energy crystals.
At the same time, the battle between the Empress and the two in the distance seemed to have come to a conclusion.
As for Nether Flame in the bone cauldron, he seemed to have sensed the drastic changes in the outside world. At the next instant, the bone cauldron rumbled and an inhuman shout rang out with madness.
“Myriad Mystical Life Secluded Realm, spin!”
As the voice echoed, the entire world of the seclusion site shook.
An even greater drastic change appeared at the East Demon Feather Dao Altar outside.
Cracks appeared on the Dao Altar that was surrounded by countless Demon Feather cultivators. After that, it collapsed and turned into dust.
A thick and withered tree branch soared into the sky from under the collapsed Dao Altar.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone, they saw a withered fruit at the end of the branch!
It released an immense and boundless Dao essence.
Within the fruit, one could see the blurry figures of Xu Qing and the others.
This fruit was none other than the secluded realm of Nether Flame!
