Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 236: Chapter 163: Golden Core (Combined Into One, Too Lazy to Split)_4

Translator: 549690339

The fierce winds of the North Sea whistle, the deserts of the Western Regions are shrouded in smoke.

Descending into the underworld of the Nine Underworld Governors, crossing the Naihe Bridge of Underwood.

Entering the Ancestor Master Taoist Altar, the body not spoiling from incense is cultivated.

Ten rays of light, the three souls and seven spirits, scatter and fly away separately.

Xu Yang disheveled his hair, looking wild and crazed like a Taoist in a frenzy, with his eyes wide and furious, he transformed into the image of the “True Martial Ancestor Master,” his flesh becoming stone to frighten the demons from all directions while preserving his undamaged body, impervious to Evil Skills.

This is a Taoist body hiding technique!

To learn skills, one must learn to hide, and not be afflicted by demonic and Evil Skills.

This skill uses Taoist Skills to separate part of a person’s three souls and seven spirits and hide them within the ten directions of heaven and earth as well as the Ancestor Master’s Altar, to avoid being pursued and harmed by cursed Evil Skills, an extremely effective method of disaster avoidance and skill to evade tribulation.

If Xu Yang had known to use this technique before the completion of the Pudu Cihang ceremony, worshipping the Nailhead Plowhead Seven Arrow Scripture, perhaps he could have avoided the vicious curse.

After this technique was included in the Taoist Scriptures, it was further improved and optimized through deductions, and now it is even more effective.

The separated portion of the three souls and seven spirits not only does not affect the Divine Soul but also serves as a saving seed.

Even if the cultivator’s Yang God leaves the body and unfortunately falls during a disaster, the hidden three souls and seven spirits can autonomously converge, return to the cultivator’s body, and after some time, a new Divine Soul can be re-kindled.

To put it simply, it is a means for the Divine Soul to “die and come back to life.”

Although after resurrection, the cultivation is completely lost, and the Divine Soul is weak, it is still a vital secret technique for preserving life.

With this, Xu Yang can afford to be a bit rash in the real world and investigate the foundations of the Three Sects of Golden Core, as well as the true nature of this world.

Otherwise, with skills like Zhuanzhou Mengdie and Divine Travel Through Worlds at his disposal, he would not act rashly.

You need confidence to take action.

Aside from the body hiding and soul preserving Taoist skill on the altar, in front of Xu Yang, there also stood a golden body statue.

A golden body statue of “Xu Yang.”

Yes, he made a golden body statue for himself!

But this golden body was not made of gold; it was condensed from incense.

Although in this world, there was no Fake Cultivation Skill, and common people’s incense worship carried not a hint of divine power, he possessed the strength to break the norm.

Skill Traits!

Among Earth Deity skills, there were two more traits.

The Worship of Myriad People, the Incense-Forged Golden Body.

Through the Worship of Myriad People, one could form an Earth Deity’s Incense-Forged Golden Body, another essential technique to preserve life.

Even if the Yang God is destroyed, it could absorb the power of incense from within the golden body, and in combination with the three souls and seven spirits left by the body hiding technique, resurrect a new Divine Soul.

It could even rebirth the Earth Deity Divine Soul on its own without the need for the body hiding technique.

With these two life-preserving methods at his disposal, Xu Yang was confident enough to venture out and stir up some trouble.

But merely having a technique to preserve one’s life was not enough; one also needed the power to stir up the winds and the clouds in all directions.

Therefore…

Xu Yang sat on the altar, similar to the True Martial figure, his flesh turned into a statue made of stone.

Only a ray of golden light burst forth from the Heavenly Spirit.

That was the Yang God of the cultivator.

The body of the Yang God became substantial; apart from the dazzling golden light, it appeared no different from a real person.

This Yang God, holding a Spirit Sword, flew into the pitch-black “stone coffin.”

The Yang God as the core, embedded within.

Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor—Activate!

“Ka! Ka! Ka!”

In an instant, myriad objects transformed, the stone coffin reassembled, and amidst the dazzling Sprit Light, a mecha unfolded.

Mecha, Mecha, was still not a mechanical battle armor but took on a human form and rapidly condensed, transforming into a Cultivator of Taoism.

The Taoist Man stood with a tall crown and bound hair, hidden in a black robe, his brows inverted like wings, his piercing eyes thundering with vigor, temples white and mottled with frost, his beard long with the demeanor of a noble scholar, his divine forehead wide as he opened the Heavenly Eye, his mysterious aura bright with Sprit Light, truly a true Cultivator, a Jade Pure Divine Sky Taoist among men.

“Ha-ha-ha!”

Xu Yang stroked his beard and laughed, looking at his appearance that was indistinguishable from an ordinary person, and then at his stone-sculpture-like flesh on the altar, very pleased, and he nodded in approval, “With this body cultivated, in the realm of cultivation, who can trouble me below the level of Nascent Soul?”

“I’m off!”

With those words, his sleeves fluttered, thunder roared, and the figure of the Taoist disappeared.

As said before, would a cultivator’s practice be so inconvenient? According to one’s desires, shape-shifting at will, that is the magic of Heavenly Crafts Natural Creation!
