Chapter 1002: Chapter 102 The Mysterious Indestructible Holy Body

Under the dim sky, the barren land stretched endlessly.

A stone town stood amidst it all, with demon beasts moving about in all directions, most of them transformed demon kings, heading towards the town.

In an inn, Donghuang Taiyi sat in a corner drinking, listening to the discussions of the surrounding demon kings, his brows deeply furrowed, eyes full of jealousy.

"Heavenly Emperor of Qin... it’s this guy again..."

Donghuang Taiyi hummed softly, originally thinking that Qin Jun was still cleaning up the mess in the Xuandang Great World, not expecting this guy to have already killed his way to the stars.

He had yet to make a name for himself, while Qin Jun’s reputation was already soaring, which irked him.

But now, with only cultivation at the entering the realm of the sage, naturally, he could not be as recklessly domineering as Qin Jun—who would kill anyone who provoked him—and thereby make enemies.

"No, I cannot fall behind him!"

Donghuang Taiyi thought bitterly, immediately putting down his cup and slowly standing up.

An unparalleled, resolute aura burst forth from his body, causing the faces of the demon kings in the inn to change dramatically, their eyes all looking towards him with fear.

"Submit, or die!"

Donghuang Taiyi slowly turned around, his gaze sweeping across the room, no demon king daring to make eye contact.

...

Within the boundless expanse of stars, Qin Jun sat cross-legged inside a Dust Brush, his hands holding a piece of blood jade as large as a basin, strands of blood qi visibly entering his body.

This blood jade was transformed from the core of a star-space behemoth at the beginning phase of the Daluo Immortal Realm, containing vast spirit energy, extremely tyrannical. Ordinary people would not dare to absorb it forcefully, but with the bloodline of the Extreme Demon God and the Immortal Holy Body, Qin Jun feared no consequences.

Five days had passed since the battle at Ten Thousand Dharma Island.

The Ancient Immortal Realm was still far away for them, with the light on the other side of the stars doubling in size, signifying that half the journey had been cut short.

"Your Majesty, are you about to make another breakthrough?"

Patriarch Bodhi stroked his beard and chuckled. Although it was with the help of external objects, he could feel that Qin Jun’s cultivation method and bloodline were extremely overbearing. Whatever he absorbed, there were no side effects.

Qiang Liang also curiously stared at Qin Jun, brooding. "How come I feel like Your Majesty is also a primordial witch?"

Qin Jun’s vitality was exceptionally strong among his peers, just like the primordial witches.

Of course, primordial witches were born Daluo Golden Immortals. They incubated for countless ages before hatching, starting off far superior to the myriad beings.

"Perhaps he is the primordial witch under this Heavenly Dao," Patriot Bodhi said with a laugh, causing Qiang Liang to ponder.

The Heavenly Dao of the Primordial Chaos era and this place were not the same; different Heavenly Daos had different rules.

But everything in the universe had its own role and position; the Heavenly Dao manipulated all from a macro perspective, aiming to achieve a certain balance.

The Dust Brush continued to fly towards the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Two more days passed, and Qin Jun finally made a breakthrough.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the ninth level of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm!"

The system notification pulled Qin Jun’s consciousness back to reality, and sensing the surge in magical power inside his body, he couldn’t help but let out a long howl, the sound traveling thousands of miles, starlight suffused with spiritual energy, aiding his voice, free and uninhibited.

Patriarch Bodhi was filled with satisfaction, and after Qin Jun calmed down, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you need me to impart some Divine Powers to you?"

Qin Jun chuckled, "What Divine Powers suit me?"

"I see Your Majesty lacks nothing but the art of transformation. The 36 Heavenly Transformations, the Earthly Fiend 72 Transformations, which would Your Majesty like to learn?" Patriarch Bodhi stroked his beard and smiled.

Qiang Liang, nearby, was filled with curiosity. Although not possessing a Primordial Spirit and unable to cultivate magic, he could still enjoy the spectacle.

"I have already mastered the 36 Heavenly Transformations," Qin Jun said with a playful wink.

His 36 Heavenly Transformations were passed down from Zhu Bajie, of course through the system; even Zhu Bajie himself was unaware.

"Oh? Your Majesty, how come you know the 36 Heavenly Transformations?" Patriarch Bodhi asked in confusion, as both sets of transformations came from Primordial Chaos, how could Qin Jun know them?

Qin Jun smiled without a word, and then demonstrated the 36 Heavenly Transformations one by one.

Rotating creation, reversing yin and yang, moving stars, turning back time, summoning wind and rain, shaking mountains and earth, Riding Clouds, parting rivers to make land, Golden Light on the Ground, flipping seas and stirring rivers, Finger-to-steel, The Great Escape of Five Elements, Six Jia’s Mystic Gates, foreknowledge, mountain moving whip, Reviving the Dead, flying with traces, Nine Breaths Submission, leading out yang energy, Taming Dragon, repairing the sky and bathing in the sun, pushing mountains and filling the sea, turning stone into gold, standing without a shadow, birth form transformation, varying size at will, instant bloom, wandering spirit controlling qi, seeing through walls, returning wind and reversing fire, mastering the five thunders, shrinking while deep diving, flying sand and walking stones, carrying mountains over seas, turning beans into soldiers, Seven Arrows at Nailhead!

The thirty-six Divine Powers were versatile in creation, capable of avoiding the three calamities and six tribulations.

But because Qin Jun was a physical cultivator who needed heavenly thunder to temper his body, he never used the 36 Heavenly Transformations during his tribulations.

Qiang Liang watched with interest, stroking his chin and murmuring, "It bears some resemblance to Nvwa’s 72 Earthly Fiend Transformations, with a touch of similar ingenuity."

Patriarch Bodhi nodded in praise and said, "Your Majesty, truly a natural genius, you have already comprehensively mastered the 36 Heavenly Transformations."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "The 36 Heavenly Transformations and the 72 Earthly Fiend Transformations are Divine Powers revealed by the Heavenly Dao of Primordial Chaos. If Your Majesty were in Primordial Chaos, mastering the 36 Heavenly Transformations would grant you eternal life, immortal through countless tribulations, but unfortunately, under the new Heavenly Dao, these Divine Powers no longer have the effect of granting longevity."

Qin Jun nodded; he had already discovered this point.

In the three thousand worlds, no matter how high one’s cultivation, everyone faces the tribulation of life, unless they become immortal.

And in the mythology of Primordial Chaos, many powerful beings are immortal. Looking at it now, it seems to be in accord with the rules of Heavenly Dao.

Of course, the higher one’s cultivation, the longer one lives. According to Patriarch Bodhi’s estimation, a Daluo beginner Immortal could easily live for a million years, as long as they don’t encounter a strong adversary.

If one were to enter the realm of the sage, even a hundred million years would not be an issue.

Qin Jun was also speculating whether his master from his previous life, White Emperor, who mysteriously vanished, was still alive?

Having achieved the Holy Realm tens of thousands of years ago, as long as no unexpected events occurred, or encountering a being beyond the sage realm, it would be difficult for him to fall.

Also, the owner of the Cycle Heavenly Palm and Tian Lun, Extreme Emperor, was he at another level of height?

"Your Majesty’s Indestructible Holy Body has an extremely great origin. I suspect it is related to the Chaos era where Pangu existed. In the future, it would be best for Your Majesty to not pursue other cultivation methods, lest you stray from the true path," Patriarch Bodhi said, changing the topic abruptly.

Qin Jun nodded in agreement. The Indestructible Holy Body consisted of nine levels; the sixth level was about using strength to prove the Dao and becoming a sage. What about the last three levels?

He was currently between the fourth and the fifth levels, just a half-step away from ’Law as Boundless as Earth,’ yet to take that step.

"Why not let me expound the Dao for Your Majesty, in hopes that you might gain some insight," Patriarch Bodhi suggested thoughtfully, as great beings often only expounded the Dao to their disciples.

How many powerful beings found the right path through Hongjun Dao Ancestor’s lectures at the Purple Cloud Palace?

"That would be wonderful!"

Qin Jun’s eyes lit up; wasn’t this just like the real-life version of the listening-to-Dao feature?

Without having to complete tasks, Qin Jun could still enjoy this privilege.

Patriarch Bodhi glanced at Qiang Liang and then began to expound the Dao.

Since the Ancestor Witches didn’t possess a Primordial Spirit, Patriarch Bodhi wasn’t worried about them surreptitiously learning.

"Indeed, the Dao is the foundation of the myriad things. All living creatures, in their pursuit of the Dao and search for eternity, must cross tribulations and break calamities..."
