Chapter 39

Following the right timing is the only correct approach

Shi Yuan did discover the unique characteristics of this goddess Wang Shu.

His personality is aloof and undeniably cool, but at the same time, he is also straightforward.

At present, it may also have a bit of a scheming element.

For example, at this moment, she didn't seem to intend to hide anything.

The Taiyin Refinement Method is a body-refining technique created by the ancient demon race.

Its establishment was actually to deal with the witch tribe.

At that time, the demon race was suppressed by the witch race on all levels.

In particular, the unique physique of the Wu tribe rendered the only advantage of the demon race—human wave tactics—meaningless.

Because weaker demons simply cannot break through the defenses of the witch clan's witch people.

A member of the Wu tribe can kill a group of demons with a single punch, without consuming any magical power.

Therefore, the solution the demon race came up with at that time was to create a body-refining method as well.

"Di Jun requested that I take the lead in creating the Taiyin Body Refining Method."

"Although I dislike fighting, I had no choice but to agree because my sister begged me so earnestly."

Wang Shu said, "In addition, Donghuang Taiyi and other demon gods also created a corresponding method of refining the body with the sun, which can cultivate the body of the sun's creation."

"If we follow the original plan—cultivating both Yin and Yang—we might be able to obtain the same Yin-Yang blessings and acquire a physique comparable to that of the Ancestral Witches."

The ambitions of the demon race are considerable.

If the demon race succeeds, then the demon race will have gained the greatest advantage of both the witch race and the demon race.

Their ethnic group will likely unify directly and become invincible in the world.

But

"These two body-refining methods have indeed been created—according to the calculations, they can indeed cultivate a Dharma body comparable to that of a Great Witch."

"However, both require the Nine Heavens Breath Soil, which serves as the supreme material for body refining, for cultivation..."

Wang Shu's expression also turned strange when she said this.

Shi Yuan now understands, of course.

The Nine Heavens Breath Soil is in the hands of the ancestral witches of the Wu clan.

Even if Houtu is kind-hearted, she would never give up the Nine Heavens Breath Soil to the demon race to use against her own people in the witch race.

Therefore, these two body-refining methods were sealed away by the demon race.

As a result, no one in the Three Realms knows of its existence anymore.

but...

"I understand!"

Shi Yuan nodded with a pleased expression.

Once he has cultivated the Taiyin Creation Body, he will then seek out the Taiyang Body Refining Method.

Once he truly achieves a Dharma body comparable to that of an Ancestral Witch, he will be fearless among all beings below the level of a Saint in the Three Realms!

Of course, whether it can truly be compared to the Ancestral Witches remains to be seen.

Shi Yuan was actually skeptical.

After all, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were born of Heaven and Earth and were the true descendants of Pangu.

Each of the Ancestral Witches corresponds to a fundamental law of heaven and earth.

Even within the Wu Clan, no member has ever broken through to the Ancestral Wu level.

The unique nature of their physique is probably unknown to anyone other than themselves.

He felt that the demon race might have been too optimistic in the past if they really wanted to cultivate a physique comparable to that of the Ancestral Witches.

"Fairy Wangshu, let's begin!"

However, he didn't say it explicitly, but simply stated it directly.

Although, according to Wang Shu, no one has ever successfully cultivated this body-refining method.

But Shi Yuan remained completely calm.

This is another advantage of the Stone Origin Realm.

Within the Shiyuan Realm, all things born are under his control.

If anything goes wrong with this body-refining method, he can end the process with a single thought.

There will be absolutely no risk.

"...Um."

Wang Shu nodded naturally.

Since she revealed the existence of the Taiyin Body Refining Method, she naturally intended to help Shi Yuan cultivate this method.

Even with her vast experience and knowledge, she could only sigh at the twist of fate at this moment.

The Taiyin Body Refining Cultivation requires three stringent conditions.

First, the vitality of the laurel tree serves as the furnace.

Secondly, the Nine Heavens Breath Soil is used for body refining.

Third, the massive amount of Yin energy serves as the source of body refinement.

Even Wang Shu, who once controlled the laurel tree, had never met all three conditions.

But strangely enough, Shi Yuan managed to gather them all together.

So the two of them made a decision.

Shi Yuan then took a large piece of Nine Heavens Breath Soil for himself.

First, a plot of land was given to Wangshu so that she could plant the sacred laurel tree.

The rest are naturally used for refining the body with the essence of the stone.

If Wang Shu hadn't repeatedly emphasized that it was enough, Shi Yuan would have planned to take an even larger piece.

Not long after, the two returned to the Moon.

Shi Yuan sat cross-legged under the sacred laurel tree.

Then he gently raised his hand again.

Not long ago, the enormous amount of Yin energy he had obtained through the "forced sale" also surged forth.

"The Taiyin Refinement Form, the Free and Easy Dharma Aperture, the Three Gates of the Primordial Spirit, the Four Difficulties of Qi and Blood..."

Wang Shu then gently began reciting the specific procedures of the "Taiyin Refinement Method".

As a result, the magical power within Shi Yuan's body began to surge.

The massive amount of Yin energy also began to surge into his body.

At the same time, the Nine Heavens Breath Soil he placed beside him also turned into strands of golden dust and merged into his skin.

Above his head, the sacred laurel tree cast its divine light.

In an instant, the blood and qi in Shi Yuan's body began to increase wildly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The power of Taiyin within him merged with the vitality of the Nine Heavens Breath Soil and the Moon Laurel Divine Tree.

It was as if a huge internal furnace had formed within him, causing Shi Yuan's entire body to erupt with surging lunar essence.

The transformation begins!

"..."

Seeing this, Wang Shu remained silent.

She simply waved her hand, and a ray of moonlight condensed into a prayer mat.

She sat gracefully on the futon, protecting Shi Yuan.

At the same time...

In Jambudvipa, in the human realm, there is the state of Lu, and the city of Zou.

A merchant couple, who were relatively well-off, were resting under a willow tree in the courtyard.

The two lay on the bamboo mat, breathing evenly.

But it was precisely at this moment...

In the unseen realm of the universe, a ray of light descended from the boundless heights.

It fell silently into the woman's belly.

The peasant woman then awoke with a start.

"Wife? What's wrong?"

Her husband was also awakened by the sudden awakening.

With a slightly honest and simple face, he looked at his wife.

"I can't explain it either..."

The woman was also somewhat puzzled, but subconsciously touched her stomach.

"Hiss... Madam, this can't be..."

Her husband, however, seemed to suddenly realize something, and his face lit up with joy: "Could it be that you're pregnant?"

The couple had always wanted a child but were unable to have one.

In this era, continuing the family line is of paramount importance.

Therefore, the two were naturally extremely anxious, and they had prayed to gods and Buddhas more than once or twice in the past.

Upon hearing this, the woman also showed a look of joy.

"Honey, could it really be...?"

She didn't know why, but she felt something strange moving inside her abdomen.

Now that things have come to this, she might actually be pregnant.

Not long after, the two found a doctor in the city to determine the situation.

"The totem mountain lord is truly efficacious... May the mountain lord protect us!"

On his way back to his residence, the merchant muttered to himself.

"Ever since the king adopted the Lord of Yuanquan Mountain as his totem, we merchants have rarely been bothered by mountain demons—and now you are pregnant again... How wonderful! How wonderful!"

He said it from the bottom of his heart.

As a businessman, he inevitably had to travel across mountains and rivers when he went out to do business.

In this world, there are monsters among the mountains, rivers and streams.

Although they cannot enter human cities due to the influence of human energy, they frequently prey on the people in the mountains.

Only after the ruler of the state worshipped the lord of Yuanquan Mountain as the totem of the State of Lu a few years ago.

Since then, the many lesser demons have been incredibly well-behaved within the territory of Lu.

"Then, sir, why don't we go to the mountain lord's totem temple to fulfill our vow?"

The woman reminded her.

"Yes, yes, that's right, that's right!"

The couple quickly turned and headed towards the totem temple in the city.

They, of course, had no idea that they were in a boundless, distant place.

Shouyang Mountain, Bajing Palace.

"bake!"

The Sage of Taiqing remained seated on his meditation cushion, regulating his elixir fire.

"Teacher, is this really how it must be done?"

Before him, his only disciple, Xuandu, showed no less worry on his face.

"My disciple, your mind is in turmoil."

The Supreme Sage's voice was calm and even.

Xuandu gave a wry smile: "This concerns Master's years of planning, and the cultivation of our Humanist lineage. How could I not be flustered?"

He worriedly said, "Teacher, your incarnation should have been born more than sixty years later, and the place of your birth should not have been the State of Lu, but the State of Chen, specifically Ku County."

Whether it's the time, the place, or even the family in which the child was born.

Everything was planned by the ancient sage Taiqing.

But now, everything has changed.

The reason, however, is simply because...

"Did what that junior disciple from the Jie Sect said truly force you, Master, to do this?"

He asked softly.

Upon hearing his disciple's confusion, the Sage of Taiqing simply smiled.

"Being able to settle old scores with Junior Brother Tongtian is worthwhile."

"Not to mention that slight calculations sooner or later won't make much difference—following the timing of events is the right way."

"As for Tongtian's junior disciple..."

When Shi Yuan was mentioned, a thoughtful look flashed in the eyes of the Sage of Taiqing.

The three corpses are originally one, so what Laozi saw was naturally what the sage Taiqing saw.

But upon closer reflection...

"The matter was sudden, and the old Taoist priest hadn't thought about it carefully."

"Junior Brother Tongtian is not the kind of person who would be so calculating—even if his cultivation has improved over the years, he shouldn't be able to be so cunning."

At this point, the Sage of Taiqing also showed a slight smile.

"Looking back now, his young disciple... was indeed no ordinary person."
