Chapter 648 - 557: A Mysterious Breakthrough of the Primordial Spirit!!

Chapter 648: Chapter 557: A Mysterious Breakthrough of the Primordial Spirit!!

During the cultivation of the Middle Third Boundary monks, when they reached the Infant God Realm, they birthed a soul-bearing flower called the Infant God, making them God Monarchs of the Infant God.

When they reached the Primordial Spirit Realm, they fused a great Dao system with their mana, bestowing the mana with unique anomalies and achieving Magic Origin.

In this process, the Magic Origin also aided in the growth of the Infant God, transforming it into a Primordial Spirit.

When they reached the Tribulation Period, they once again congealed a Dao system, invading the physical body, and attained Dharma Body.

After the preparation of these three Dao Systems, under the baptism of Thunder Tribulation, the three flowers gathered at the apex and the three paths fused into one, achieving the rank of an Earth Immortal.

Once one has become an Earth Immortal, one can say they are truly an entirely different species from humans.

Essentially different!

In more modern terms, humans are material life forms and immortals are energy life forms that carry certain rules.

The Infant God, Magic Origin, and Dharma Body, these three progressing steps, were forging the body of the immortals while shaping up the Earth Immortal Tradition.

This is why everybody’s Infant God cultivated during the Infant God Realm looks more or less the same, a mini version of themselves, except for those with specific unorthodox paths.

However, the Primordial Spirits nurtured by the Magic Origin began to exhibit various characteristics and differences. For instance, Primordial Spirits with three heads and six arms, or those entwined by dragons and snakes.

This is why most prefer to use Dharma Idols to combat each other starting from the Primordial Spirit Realm.

At this moment, the frozen Primordial Spirit of Gu An is extremely anomalous.

It can’t even be described as human-shaped!

Twenty pairs of abnormal ghost claws extruded from his entire Primordial Spirit body, they were not symmetrically distributed like the usual three-headed and six-armed representations.

They covered his entire body, on his chest and back, making him look like a hairy ball covered in ghost claws.

There were also several ghost heads mixed in between, a complete aberration through and through.

"It mutated to this extent? No wonder he has not progressed past the Tribulation stage for a thousand years, it would be a miracle if he ever could!"

"The fact that he hasn’t directly mutated detrimentally can only be regarded as his superb ability to prolong his existence!"

A thought flashed in his mind, and with a flick of his hand, he sealed it in a book before coming to the front of the flesh mountains.

At this moment, all the five flesh mountain ghost infants were dead, having transformed into a pool of flesh and blood, akin to an extraordinarily obese dead individual.

When Wang Zijia came near, his five Ghosts were on the verge of tears from uneasiness. They continuously pleaded with Wang Zijia.

Despite this, they did not dare exceed their limits and rush out on their own.

Wang Zijia was planning to collect the remains first, allow the battle to end, and then feed them to the five ghosts. Clearly, these remains were extremely suitable for them.

However, seeing the five ghosts this anxious, he decided to let them feast first.

Mentally commanding, he summoned all the five ghosts. In the next moment, the five ghosts anxious to fill their bellies turned into five streams of light, and drilled into the flesh mountains.

Wang Zijia knitted his brows slightly, he didn’t try to stop them, simply letting them be.

He arrived above the flesh mountains, studying the object embedded in their foreheads.

After scrutinizing it closely, he confirmed that it was indeed a kind of immortal bone, similar to Gu An’s physical body refined bones.

As Wang Zijia’s eyes flickered, he couldn’t discern any information from the bone. He tried to pull it out, but it wouldn’t budge.

Only a corner of this thing was exposed!

There must be more of this within the five flesh mountains, and perhaps even constituted the skeleton of the flesh mountains.

Wang Zijia glanced at it one more time and paid no further attention to the flesh mountains, flying towards the black cabin in the distance.

······

Due to deliberate avoidance, the cabin had not been affected by the battle and still stood intact.

The cabin was not big, containing only three rooms, and the interior was quite simple.

A study, a cultivation room, and a bedroom.

The bedroom and the cultivation room were exceedingly simple. Rather, it was the study that had a nice surprise for Wang Zijia. There was a bookshelf with numerous books on it, and surprisingly, an antique jade slip.

The jade slip was placed in a compartment of the bookshelf. There was an adjacent empty compartment.

The bookshelf was originally a special instrument, which should have had some protection. But now, it had been damaged.

Obviously, Xuanming had sneaked in just a moment ago, hastily grabbing one and leaving.

The fact that he risked self-harming to escape using unconventional methods proves the seized jade slip was no ordinary object, which caused a pinge of regret for Wang Zijia.

Judging by what jade slips usually contain, it could at least have been a fourth-grade inheritance, and perhaps even a complete set.

Wang Zijia floated before the jade slip. With a slight movement of his mana, the name and a brief introduction appeared on the jade slip.

"Five Ghosts Divine Power Secret Manual (Initial Chapter)"

"Five ghosts can communicate with gods, transforming ghosts into immortality."

This is the foundational entry Chapter of the Five Ghosts Dao System, comprised of the Body Refinement Chapter, the Soul Spirit Chapter, the Ghost Origin Chapter, all of which are fourth-grade.

When the three paths are achieved, the Three Flowers Foundation of Immortal Path is forged, making the Heavenly Immortal Path visible.

Looking at the item, the anticipation on Wang Zijia’s face decreased significantly.

The item was good, and extremely valuable!

Unfortunately, it was prepared by an ancient cultivator for his disciples. Although it is indeed an astonishing manual that points directly to the root of the immortal path, it was not of the type of Immortal-family secret manual Wang Zijia had imagined.

He reluctantly stored it, whilst glancing at the other books on the bookshelf.

The remainder wasn’t any cultivation methods secret manuals, but various secret records. Clearly, they were items Gu An randomly read to pass the time during his cultivation.

Wang Zijia didn’t disdain them, he decisively collected them all. He was actually quite short on these items.

If it is worth collecting here and randomly reading, it obviously can’t be common goods.

As Wang Zijia was about to continue his search in the rest of the areas, his entire body jolted!

The next moment, he teleported outside to the flesh mountains.

At that moment, the five meat mountains visibly shrank, as if something within them was crazily devouring their insides.

Simultaneously, five astonishing auras started to brew within them.

"Is this... breaking through to the Primordial Spirit Core?"

At this moment, the five of them were ahead of him, inexplicably self-initiating their breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit Core!

The Five Ghosts were at the peak of the Infant God Realm as well, but being Sinister Ghosts, if they wanted to advance to the Primordial Spirit Realm, they would have to either accumulate a massive amount of pollution to trigger a qualitative change or wait for Wang Zijia to break through and try to catalyze their breakthrough with a secret method.

As they suddenly broke through, it was obvious that the situation did not originate from Wang Zijia but rather from the qualitative change in the Five Ghosts.

...

Upon seeing this, Wang Zijia communicated quickly with the Paper Figures in the Sea of Consciousness of the Five Ghosts, who had been tasked with constantly adjusting their status.

Pictures emerged in Wang Zijia’s mind.

Inside the enormous mass of corpses, within the silt-like flesh and blood, there was an unusual skeleton, as if it was the support for the entire meat mountain.

The skeleton and the flesh mountain were rather out of place. They seemed ancient and weathered.

Even though they were already the pillars supporting the Five Ghosts’ meat mountains, they did not seem to have been completely refined. They appeared out of place and were not fused with the flesh and blood.

Presumably, this was why Gu An had failed.

However, with the entrance of the Five Ghosts, the skeleton seemed to detect their uniqueness. It gathered all its power like the base instinct, forming a bone pearl, which the Five Ghosts swallowed.

Instantly, a vast amount of power was transformed into the original Ghost Qi, which the Five Ghosts rapidly absorbed.

As the Ghost Qi built up, the power within the Five Ghosts began to overflow.

"Thump, Thump!"

"Thump, Thump!"

With the sound of heartbeats, the Five Ghosts began the final breakthrough.

The five meat mountains were completely sucked into the Five Ghosts by a peculiar devouring power.

Although various abnormalities should have occurred, under the conversion of the paper figures, they were transformed into the purest form of power.

The process was extremely quick!

It was mainly because the power arriving was too strong, too impatient.

The moment Wang Zijia had finished reading this information!

"Boom! Boom!"

The five meat mountains had already disappeared. The five ghosts exploded into five groups of ghost fog with a peculiar power, shrouding Wang Zijia.

They had rapidly broken into the Primordial Spirit Realm and undergone a special evolution.

The next moment, the ghost fog quickly gathered and retracted into Wang Zijia’s body, becoming a special Ghost Source mana!

"Cultivation Value Degree + 50 million!"

Wang Zijia’s cultivation had already reached its peak, yet it mysteriously advanced a bit further!

Furthermore, he had a feeling that, at the moment, if he wanted to break through to the Primordial Spirit Realm, it could be done easily. There were impulses urging him to break through quickly.

Cultivation: Primordial Spirit Realm (pseudo)

Dao cultivation: One Thousand Years (250 million / 250 million)

Primordial Spirit Realm (pseudo): You’ve stumbled upon good fortune, using the special ghoul servants as your Dao system, and transformed it into special ghost source mana. Even though it’s only a pseudo Primordial Spirit Realm, due to the blessings of the Five Great Primordial Spirit Ghost Infants, your cultivation level surpasses the average early-stage cultivators of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Note: The Five ghosts have gone through a special evolution and refinement. For you, they have become special treasure pills and extraordinary spirit objects.

You can directly choose to refine the Five Ghosts, using them as nutrients to turn the Five Ghosts into your Dao system and promote yourself to the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Special reminder: In ancient times, Great Cultivators could reincarnate through a drop of blood, repossess bodies, seize and rejuvenate bodies, and dye gods into themselves. However, there is also the chance of the pie from the sky being poisoned bait.

...

Originally indulging in the special feeling, Wang Zijia was constantly tempted by a surging tide of primal impulses. The Ghost Source kept luring him for an easy breakthrough.

However, upon seeing this information, Wang Zijia was instantly shocked awake.

He arrived directly at the Sea of Consciousness and checked his weights, but he found no abnormalities.

With a thought, Wang Zijia arrived in the Sea of Consciousness of the Five Ghosts.

Name: Big Baby (Ghost Infant)

Cultivation: Early Primordial Spirit Realm

Evil Source: Pure

Dao cultivation: One Thousand Years (400 million / 500 million)

Affiliation: Summoned Detrimental Mutation Creature

Status: Dao System Infection

Talent: Ghost Baby Bewitching, Summoned God Child, Molten Rock Guardian, Myriad Transformation Body, Ghost Baby Avatar

Ghost Baby Avatar: When you encounter a fatal threat, you can use the Five Ghosts to substitute for you, transfer the damage, and any of the Five Ghosts can transform into your avatar, sharing your power.

Moreover, the Five Ghosts are separate beings. As long as one survives, they can not be completely annihilated.

Dao System Infection: There were Great Cultivators in ancient times. Even if their real spirits were extinguished and their souls scattered, they could still rely on the Dao system they left behind to infect others’ Dao Systems, gradually erode them, and under the unseen pull, collect the leftovers from their past lives, twist their personalities, change their cognitive perceptions, and even revive their memory.

However, the fundamental difference with reincarnation and awakening innate wisdom is that the two are not the same real spirit and are not the same person.

But when your memory, cognitive perception, and personality have all been twisted, are you still you?

Or are you the ancient cultivator who revives on your shell?

Or are you neither, but a completely new you?

Introduction: Boy, this is an exciting experience. You should give it a try. It’s really thrilling!
