Chapter 68, The Origin of the Dou Qi Continent!
However, if placed within the vast cultivation system of "Covering the Sky," the potential limit of this physique is roughly equivalent to that of an ordinary royal physique.
Ordinary royal body.
These four characters are not bad when placed in the context of Beidou.
The Divine King Body of the Ji family, the Divine Body of the Jiang family, and the King Bodies of the various holy land families.
What these constitutions have in common is that, upon reaching the Great Perfection, they can reach the third level of the Sendai Heaven.
That is a realm called the King of Slaying the Dao, which requires one to comprehend one's own Dao and sever any obsessions that are inconsistent with one's own Dao in order to enter it.
When the divine body and the royal body are fully developed, one becomes a king who has severed the Dao.
For the vast majority of cultivators, this is a realm they may never be able to reach, even if they spend their entire lives.
In the Dou Qi Continent, the King of Slaying the Dao corresponds to the legendary Dou Di level.
That realm that all the top experts on the entire Dou Qi Continent have looked up to for ten thousand years.
However, the King of the Dao-Slaying Realm is far stronger than the Dou Di.
Above the three heavens of Sendai, there are saints, saint kings, great saints, and even quasi-emperors and great emperors.
Those realms are beyond the reach of ordinary royal or divine physiques alone.
It's already a miracle that Little Fairy Doctor was able to escape the backlash from the poison and take control of her own destiny.
To possess the strength of a Dou Di, or even a Dao-Slaying King stronger than a Dou Di, is an extremely fortunate thing.
The King of Slaying the Dao is indeed an invincible existence in the Dou Qi Continent.
However, within the vast and boundless cultivation system of Shrouding the Heavens, becoming a Dao-Slaying King is merely the starting point for the struggle for the Emperor's Path.
Once the physical constitution of an ordinary king or a god is fully developed, their innate advantages are basically exhausted.
To go further and break through to the Saint Realm of the Fourth Heaven of Sendai, or even higher realms, one can no longer rely on one's physical constitution.
It depends on chance.
It depends on one's understanding.
It requires talent.
It requires cultivators to relentlessly cultivate themselves to break free from the inherent limitations of their physical constitution and achieve a heaven-defying ascension.
Su Ye lowered his gaze slightly.
The pyramid-like physical system of the world of Shrouding the Heavens appeared one by one in his mind.
The strongest physique in the first tier.
The most advanced are the Chaos Body, the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, the Immortal Golden Holy Spirit, the Immortal Elixir Transformation, the Immortal Artifact Spirit Transformation, and the Pure Blood Immortal Spirit.
Once this type of physique reaches its full potential, it can be even stronger than a Great Emperor. Upon attaining the Dao and becoming an Emperor, one can possess the combat power of a Heavenly Emperor.
The next level up is the Ancient Sacred Body and the Heavenly Overlord Body.
Once fully mastered, one would be able to challenge the emperors of the time and stand at the pinnacle of humanity.
Within the divine realm of the Ancient Starry Road, there also exists a true God-King.
That was no ordinary divine body like Ji Haoyue's; once it reached its full potential, it might be comparable to an ancient supreme being.
Next in rank are the Yin Body, the Yang Body, the Supreme Immortal Body, and the Innate Dao Embryo —
The representative of those who attained enlightenment with the Taiyin Body is the Taiyin Human Emperor, the representative of those with the Taiyang Body is the Taiyang Holy Emperor, and the representative of those with the innate Dao Embryo is the Western Emperor who founded the Yaochi Holy Land.
As for the Supreme Immortal Body, it is said that a certain Daoist in the Eternal Starfield possessed this physique.
Then there are the special physiques of the various holy lands of the Big Dipper, such as the divine body, the royal body, and the celestial demon body.
When this type of royal physique is developed to its fullest extent, it can usually reach the third level of the Sendai realm, which is the level of a Dao-slaying king.
The Calamity Poison Body is included in this tier.
The Great Perfection of the Ordinary King Body, the Dao-Slaying King, corresponds to the Dou Di realm in the Dou Qi Continent.
Now that Little Fairy Doctor has embarked on the path of cultivation in the secret realm, the best way forward is to take things one step at a time in a down-to-earth manner.
Beyond the Dou Qi Continent, there lies the vast world.
The Dou Di is a legend in the Dou Qi Continent, but in the vast world, it is just a new starting point.
The supreme being of the earth, the supreme being of the heavens, and even the realm of the sovereign.
He won't say these things to Little Fairy Doctor now.
It's too far away.
For her, who was at the Life Spring Realm, the Dou Di Capital was still a distant legend.
Saying these things now will only add to her stress.
"What are you thinking about?"
Little Fairy Doctor suddenly spoke up and asked.
She noticed that Su Ye had been silent for quite a while.
Su Ye snapped out of her daze and shook her head.
"It's nothing."
He paused, then changed the subject.
Have you encountered any problems during your cultivation?
Little Fairy Doctor thought for a moment.
"There's nothing really wrong, but sometimes when I'm practicing the Netherworld Scripture to a very deep level, I feel a chilling sensation creeping into my sea of consciousness."
"It feels cool, it doesn't hurt, but it's a little uncomfortable."
Su Ye's brows twitched slightly.
"That chilling aura comes from the extreme yin power of the Netherworld Scripture itself."
"The core of this scripture is based on the power of extreme Yin, supplemented by potent poison."
"The coldness entering your sea of consciousness indicates that your consciousness has begun to resonate with the power of extreme yin, which is a good thing."
He paused.
"But the dark purple divine power produced by the intertwining of the calamity poison and the extreme yin power in your body has a special nature."
"It has an added layer of corrosiveness compared to pure Yin energy; one must be mindful of this when cultivating."
Little Fairy Doctor nodded seriously, remembering these words firmly.
Su Ye then took out a jade slip from the Sea of Bitterness and handed it to her.
"These are some basic insights I've compiled from the Secret Realm Techniques, regarding the key to breaking through from the Fountain of Life to the Divine Bridge and then to the Other Shore. Go back and study them carefully."
Little Fairy Doctor took the jade slip, pressed it to her forehead, and glanced at it.
As one's consciousness sinks into it, countless Dao patterns and annotations unfold in the sea of consciousness.
Every key node is clearly marked.
She carefully placed the jade slip into the Sea of Bitterness, her movements as gentle as if she were collecting precious treasures.
"How long are you staying this time?"
The Little Fairy Doctor's voice was very soft.
"We can't stay for too long."
Su Ye's voice was calm.
"There are still some things to take care of."
Little Fairy Doctor unconsciously clenched her sleeves.
But she didn't ask any further questions.
She knew that Su Ye's world was much larger than Qingshan Town, much larger than the Jia Ma Empire, and even larger than the entire Northwest Continent.
What he was going to do was not something a mere cultivator of the Life Spring could possibly find out.
She simply nodded slightly.
"Um.
""
Then he raised his eyes and looked at Su Ye.
"I will cultivate diligently."
"When you come back next time—I will have already built the bridge of God."
She spoke very seriously, as if making a promise.
Su Ye glanced at her.
Moonlight streamed in through the window, falling on Little Fairy Doctor's pure white dress and outlining her slender figure.
Those eyes no longer held unease and inferiority, but rather an indescribable firmness.
She has indeed changed compared to a few months ago.
Su Ye withdrew his gaze.
"it is good."
He stood up.
The next moment, he transformed into a pale purple divine rainbow and soared into the sky, disappearing into the night in an instant.
The courtyard returned to quiet.
The moonlight still fell on the locust tree, casting dappled shadows.
Little Fairy Doctor stood by the window of the quiet room, gazing in the direction where the divine rainbow had disappeared for a long time.
The night breeze stirred the hem of her skirt, carrying the scent of mountain plants and trees.
She drew the light back from the night sky and placed it on the bag of source stones in her palm.
The Originium glowed with a warm luster under the moonlight, and the essence of heaven and earth within it flowed slowly, like a living thing breathing.
"Peak of Life Spring — Divine Bridge — The Other Shore —"
Little Fairy Doctor silently recited the names of these realms in her mind.
Then clench your fist.
"I won't be a burden to you."
Her voice was soft, yet incredibly firm.
Deep within the Monster Mountains.
A divine rainbow streaked across the night sky.
Su Ye spread out his divine sense, taking in all the movements and disturbances in the surrounding area.
As he flew, he was thinking about other things.
Little Fairy Doctor's life spring peak has been stabilized, and she can break through to the Divine Bridge in as little as a month.
Beyond the Divine Bridge lies the Other Shore, and beyond the Other Shore lies the Dao Palace.
The speed of cultivation of the Calamity Poison Body in the early stages far exceeds that of ordinary people. At the current rate, it is not difficult to reach the other shore within a year.
What comes after the Dao Palace?
The Four Extremes, Dragon Transformation, Sendai.
With each major realm you cross, the advantage brought by your physique diminishes by one point.
When she reached the third level of the Sendai Heaven, which is the Dao-Slaying King Realm, the innate advantages of the Calamity Poison Body were completely exhausted.
At that time —
Su Ye stopped and hovered in mid-air, his brows slightly furrowed.
Within the Sea of Bitterness, the World Tree trembled slightly.
An extremely subtle, unusual fluctuation emerged from the leaf.
Su Ye's divine sense extended in that direction.
Under the moonlight, the mountains and forests resembled a vast sea.
The fluctuations originated from the deepest part of the Monster Mountain Range, a place that even sixth-tier magical beasts dare not easily approach.
"interesting."
Su Ye's lips curled up slightly.
Then it sped off in the direction from which the energy fluctuations came.
The night wind whistled past my ears, and the dense forest beneath my feet rushed past.
The World Tree trembled slightly again.
It's a bit clearer than before.
Su Ye's lips curled up slightly again.
It seems that something he didn't touch during his last rampage is hidden deep within the Monster Mountain Range.
Deep within the Monster Mountains.
A purple rainbow streaked across the night sky.
Following the World Tree's guidance, Su Ye sped towards the deepest part of the mountain range.
The dense forest beneath our feet rushed past.
The World Tree sways gently in the Sea of Bitterness.
The leaves trembled, conveying a faint, almost imperceptible longing.
This longing was clearer than it had been in Qingshan Town.
"The origin of heaven and earth —"
Su Ye's lips curled up slightly.
The strange fire is a manifestation of the origin of heaven and earth in the Dou Qi Continent, so it is no coincidence that the World Tree senses it.
It's just unknown what kind of strange fire this thing hidden deep in the mountains is, which is listed on the Strange Fire Ranking.
The deeper you go, the stranger the atmosphere in the forest becomes.
The roars of beasts that had been rising and falling gradually thinned out, replaced by a suppressed silence.
On the edge of the territory of fifth-tier magical beasts, several black-striped leopards huddled in a crevice in the rocks.
Further on, the territory of sixth-tier magical beasts should have been a forbidden area for lower-tier magical beasts.
But now it is completely empty.
Even the sixth-tier magical beast itself has vanished without a trace.
An unsettling anxiety permeated the air.
Su Ye stopped and hovered atop a solitary peak.
His divine sense spread out.
A hundred miles away, a massive, fissure-like canyon stretches across the mountains.
The canyon is about a thousand feet wide and stretches for an unknown distance, like a scar that was cleaved open by a giant axe that fell from the sky.
Two auras, one extremely cold and the other extremely hot, surged forth from the depths of the canyon.
Wherever the cold air passed, a layer of frost several feet thick condensed on the rock face.
The heat swept in, and the frost instantly turned into rising white mist.
The temperature alternates between hot and cold, in a continuous cycle.
Su Ye stopped at the edge of the canyon, hovering in mid-air.
He looked down.
A faint light shone from deep within the valley.
Light in black and white.
They flickered alternately in the darkness, their rhythm slow, like the breathing of some sleeping behemoth.
"Yin and Yang intertwine, ice and fire coexist."
A knowing glint flashed in Su Ye's eyes.
The World Tree in the Sea of Bitterness suddenly shook violently, its yearning becoming several times stronger than before.
That longing was almost greedy, like a traveler who had been starving for a long time smelling the aroma of food.
"A strange fire transformed from the very origin of heaven and earth."
Su Ye spoke slowly, his tone tinged with interest.
He took a step forward, and his entire body transformed into a purple rainbow, plummeting straight down into the depths of the canyon.
The valley is very deep.
They descended thousands of feet before their feet finally touched solid ground.
Before me lay an extremely strange sight.
Lava and icy springs coexist at the bottom of the valley, their crimson and icy blue colors complementing each other.
The hot and cold air currents collided in mid-air, exploding into wisps of white mist.
And right in the middle of the valley.
A black and white flame floated silently.
The flame was only the size of a palm, shaped like a twin lotus flower, with its black and white petals intertwined and slowly rotating like a yin-yang symbol.
With each rotation, a wave of energy, a mixture of extreme yin and extreme yang, spreads out.
The ripples swept across my skin, making one side of my body feel as if it had fallen into an ice cave, while the other side felt as if it had been placed in a furnace.
Su Ye gazed at the flame, a knowing look flashing in his eyes.
"Yin Yang Twin Flames"
Ranked twenty-first on the list of strange flames.
It is formed from the original Yin and Yang energies of Heaven and Earth, and contains the meaning of life, death and reincarnation.
Dual-attribute strange fires are rare even on the entire strange fire ranking list.
The strange fire before us has already developed a faint intelligence and entered its mature stage, making it far stronger than those flames on the Strange Fire Ranking that are still in the gestation stage.
"No wonder the World Tree reacted so strongly."
Within Su Ye's Sea of Bitterness, the World Tree is no longer just swaying.
Its entire trunk was trembling, and every tender leaf shone with a golden glow.
A powerful urge to devour surged forth like a tidal wave.
It was like a hungry young animal smelling blood.
Su Ye raised his hand, his palm facing the black and white fire lotus.
Just then.
Yin Yang Twin Flames leaped violently.
A series of intermittent mental fluctuations entered Su Ye's sea of consciousness.
The voice was as childish as a toddler learning to speak, yet its tone was full of hostility.
"Humanity—Leave—"
"Here—my—I won't leave—I'll burn you—"
Su Ye raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Although its intelligence is weak, it still knows how to protect its food."
He spoke slowly, his voice echoing through the canyon.
"I'll borrow your essence for a moment."
Although the Yin-Yang Twin Flames were weak in intelligence, they understood these words.
The black and white flames suddenly surged.
boom!
The power of extreme yin and extreme yang erupted simultaneously, transforming into a black and white pillar of fire that shot into the sky.
The pillar of fire was over ten feet thick, piercing through the entire canyon and stirring up the lava and cold springs at the bottom of the valley.
Half of the sky was painted a ghastly white, while the other half was stained pitch black.
The canyon walls crumbled inch by inch, and cracks spread out in all directions like a spider web.
The ground collapsed, and the entire canyon trembled.
The shockwave emanated from the canyon and swept across the entire Warcraft Mountain Range.
Deep in the mountains.
The roars of sixth-tier magical beasts rose and fell.
Then it turned into terrified wails.
They started running wildly.
Instead of heading towards the strange fire, they desperately tried to escape.
A sixth-order lightning-patterned python burst out of the cave, its dozens-of-zhang-long body crushing large swathes of trees before rushing towards the outer edge of the mountain range without looking back.
A radius of a thousand miles.
All the magical beasts below the fifth rank lay prostrate on the ground, trembling in fear.
The fourth-tier Fiery Tiger was urinating and defecating, lying on the ground and not daring to lift its head.
The three-tiered wind wolf pack collapsed, huddled together, whimpering.
