348: Taoist body cultivation
Xuanhuang Merchant Guild!
"Ran'er!"
"Grandpa Song!"
Xu Ran quickly stepped forward and bowed to Xu Song.
"Take the Twin Talents of Literary and Martial Arts to Meila Dao Province, take over that Ore Vein, and quickly mine enough to refine three hundred catties of leilin dao gold!"
Xu Song handed the token and Jade Slip to Xu Ran.
"Yes, Grandpa Song! Ran'er will begin mining as soon as possible!"
Xu Ran excitedly took the token and Jade Slip.
"Good! Go!"
Xu Song nodded. He was confident in Xu Ran's ability to handle affairs, otherwise he wouldn't have entrusted him with the responsibility of this Ore Vein.
Time flew by, and half a year passed just like that.
During this half year, besides the sudden rise of Sa'en's Four Young Masters in Kase Royal City, nothing else happened; everything remained as usual.
Meanwhile, Xu Ran successfully took over the Ore Vein and hired miners at high salaries. Although leilin dao gold, as a top-grade Dao Gold, was difficult to mine in its raw form, these miners were all at the Emperor Realm, and with special tools, their speed was not slow.
In half a year, they mined enough raw Ore to refine four hundred catties of leilin dao gold, all of which Xu Ran sent to Xu Song via the Family token.
These raw Ores were quickly sent to the Family's Heavenly Weapon Hall, where Artifact Refining Puppets refined the leilin dao gold.
In just half a year, from raw Materials to finished products, Xu Song completed the refining of the armored Dao Weapons Saen Qingyun needed. Including labor and various auxiliary Materials, it only cost twenty-eight billion Chaos Origin Crystals.
However, he did not deliver it in advance. Some things are overdone if rushed; a timely display is sufficient.
During this half year, the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild also established a firm foothold in the Linghu area. The weapons and Medicinal Pills sold by the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild gained many repeat customers.
This naturally caused dissatisfaction among some nearby shops, as they lost many customers. Some shop owners even harbored thoughts of taking action against the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild.
However, those who could open shops in the city were not fools. They would not act rashly before thoroughly investigating the Xuanhuang Merchant Guild's background.
These minor actions naturally could not escape Xu Song's notice, but he didn't care. All of this stemmed from his strength. Although he was only at the Late Stage of Dao Dominator, which only counted as upper-middle in Kase Royal City, his battle power was comparable to an ordinary Dao Dominator at Perfection due to the powerful Dao Arts he Cultivated.
The strongest cultivators of the eight great Families were also at this level. The only ones who might pose a threat to him were the two in the Royal Family.
At the same time!
Qiankun Continent!
Inside the palace, one thousand five hundred years had already passed.
At this moment, the Chaos Divine Dragon had already grown to its peak, its scales densely covered with terrifying Chaos runes. On each of Xu Qing's Dao Bones, profound white runes were imprinted, and the wisps of Qi emanating from his pores constantly caused ripples in the Void Realm.
Ancient Chaos phenomena from the passage of time continuously appeared at this moment. Within these Xuanhuan phenomena, Xu Qing was like the Dominator of Chaos, integrating with the Chaos Great Dao, as if he had become the Dominator of Chaos...
"One thousand five hundred years! I finally elevated the Chaos Dao Body to the Supreme Grade extreme realm!"
Xu Qing clenched his fist, a strange light flickering in his eyes. He hadn't expected that with the improvement of his Dao Body, his Body Refining Cultivation would also advance. He had a premonition that the Body Refining path would be the first to Breakthrough.
Compared to Bloodline, Dao Body Cultivation was undoubtedly more difficult. Bloodline only needed continuous strengthening of its concentration and the evolution of primitive runes to improve, but the Dao Body required Cultivating the Physical Body to enhance it.
To Cultivate the Dao Body to the Supreme Grade extreme realm, one needed to imprint all the Dao Bones with the original primitive runes of the Dao Body. When all two hundred and six Dao Bones were imprinted with primitive runes, the Dao Body would reach the Supreme Grade extreme realm.
At this point, to advance further, one needed to activate the primitive runes on the Dao Bones, stimulate the life apertures, open up life aperture spaces, evolve primitive runes, and thereby illuminate the life apertures.
The Human Race is uniquely blessed, with as many as seven hundred and twenty life apertures. To Cultivate the Dao Body to the Monarch Grade extreme realm, one needs to illuminate one hundred and eight life apertures.
Monarch Lower Grade requires illuminating twenty-seven life apertures, Intermediate Monarch Grade illuminates fifty-four life apertures... But man can conquer heaven, and there are always Prodigies who perform Heaven-Defying acts, often developing their own Dao Body to the limit of what they can achieve. In the Monarch Grade stage, the one who illuminated the most life apertures was the Human Emperor Shi, who created the Body Refining method.
He illuminated three hundred and sixty-five life apertures. It was precisely because of this that the Human Emperor Shi's battle power was so formidable, allowing him to take away three Half-Step Beyond and seventeen Dao Ancestors.
To reach the Dao Body Monarch Grade extreme realm, one needs to illuminate at least one hundred and eight life apertures.
At this step, one needs to attempt to fuse the primitive runes in the Dao Bones and life apertures. Once all primitive runes are fused, an original ancestral rune can be formed, thereby causing the Dao Body to transform into an Ancestral Body, entering the Ancestral Grade rank.
As for how to Cultivate the Beyond Body, there are no records; presumably, only those Beyond know.
The System has records, but Xu Qing currently has no way to access them.
"Continue!"
Looking at the resources in the hall, Xu Qing added some more resources and continued to Cultivate.
This time, Xu Qing Cultivated in the Cosmos World for a full three thousand years, successfully breaking through that barrier and advancing his Chaos Dao Body to the Monarch Lower level.
Within his body, in the thirty-six illuminated life apertures, thirty-six solidified primitive runes could clearly be seen standing in the life aperture space, continuously absorbing Chaos Dao essence and emitting a majestic power.
They were like pillars of the Great Dao, supporting the entire life aperture space.
Thirty-six life apertures were not Xu Qing's limit. He had a premonition that his Dao Body Cultivation would consume a lot of resources, and the number of his life apertures would definitely surpass his predecessors, and perhaps even be unmatched by future generations.
The improvement of his Dao Body caused his Body Refining Cultivation to advance several times again, making his Physical Body extremely powerful.
Feeling the power brought by his Body Refining Cultivation, he felt that he now surpassed those Body Cultivators who had just entered the Middle Stage of Dao Monarch.
Aside from the strength of his Physical Body, the Monarch Grade Chaos Dao Body also greatly empowered the Chaos Great Dao.
"Boom!"
Thousands of Great Daos appeared around Xu Qing. These Great Daos resembled Divine Dragons. King-grade Great Daos could take on myriad forms, but for some reason, all of Xu Qing's Great Daos were in the shape of Divine Dragons.
At this moment, nearly one-tenth of the bodies of these Great Daos were covered in strange runes. These runes seemed to originate from the primordial era, emitting the aura of that period, making these Great Daos extremely powerful and eternal.
This was the characteristic of an Immortal Great Dao. Those runes were Immortal Runes. Once Immortal Runes covered thirty percent, it was a Minor Achievement of an Immortal Great Dao... When the entire body was enveloped by Immortal Runes, it was when the Immortal Grade Great Dao reached Perfection.
Among Xu Qing's myriad Great Daos, the most conspicuous was the Chaos Great Dao.
At this moment, the terrifying Chaos Great Dao appeared in the form of a Chaos Divine Dragon. As soon as it appeared, it occupied the highest position and naturally formed a powerful pressure.
This pressure was from top to bottom, causing the myriad Great Daos to show fear. Even the Space-Time Great Dao, which was also a Supreme Dao, could only occupy the second row under this pressure, and below it were the ten great Supreme Daos...
Xu Qing stared at the Chaos Great Dao, realizing that compared to before, the current Chaos Great Dao was even more profound and mysterious.
The Chaos Divine Dragon's body was already covered with about twenty percent of Immortal Runes, while other Great Daos were at most about fifteen percent.
