91: The Imperishable Body of the Prison

"Senior, how can you speak?"

Qin Tian raised his eyes in surprise.

After endless eons, only sounds should remain in the imprints; the consciousness should have been obliterated long ago.

"Hahaha! Those fellows weren't capable enough and could only leave behind an imprint. This deity is different; I left a drop of blood here!"

"Blood?"

Concentrating his senses, he indeed felt a drop of golden blood not far away. Even after the passage of countless years, it still shone brilliantly.

"Who might Senior be?"

"This deity is known as the Indestructible Immortal Venerable. In the Immortal Ancient methods of Body Refining, if this deity claims to be second, no one would dare claim to be first."

"If you can Revered Master it, you will be immortal and indestructible!"

"Body Refining, huh..." Qin Tian murmured.

The path of Body Refining was almost diametrically opposed to the current path of the dao seed.

One seeks within oneself, while the other borrows from Heaven and Earth.

Seeing Qin Tian hesitate, the Indestructible Immortal Venerable seemed a bit anxious.

"Kid, what are you still hesitating for? Once you pass this village, there won't be another shop like it!"

"Senior, what Cultivation Technique do you practice?" Qin Tian asked curiously.

"Haha! Listen well. This deity practices the legendary ultimate method of Body Refining that can live as long as Chaos and compete for brilliance with Heaven and Earth—the Prison-Suppressing Indestructible Body!"

Qin Tian: "..."

Is it really that powerful?

Why did he feel that this Indestructible Immortal Venerable was a bit unreliable?

"System, open the mall."

The panel appeared.

【Prison-Suppressing Indestructible Body: An ultimate method that allows for transcendence. Price: 999... fate reversal points.】

"Senior, I'll learn it!"

No need to look further. With so many points and such a high price, it was definitely a world-unrivaled technique!

"Hahaha! I knew it, you kid wouldn't disappoint this Immortal Venerable!"

"Quick, let this deity first cripple that whatever-the-hell dao seed of yours."

"The path of Body Refining has no need for such bells and whistles!"

Just as the voice fell...

The golden blood was about to enter Qin Tian's Sea of Consciousness to strip away the dao seed.

Qin Tian: "!!!"

However...

The Hongmeng Mysterious Realm trembled slightly.

That golden aura suddenly dissipated.

"Eh?"

The voice within the golden blood was astonished.

"Senior, what are you trying to do!?" Qin Tian was somewhat wary.

"The dao seed and Body Refining are not compatible. Generally speaking, one cannot specialize in both paths, but you, kid, seem to..."

"Seem to what?"

"Nothing! Kid, I don't have much time left. Listen well, I will now impart the first half of the Prison-Suppressing Indestructible Body to you!"

"Wait, what about the second half?"

"The second half... even this deity hasn't found it..."

"..."

Learning half is fine, too.

In an instant, scriptures permeated from the golden blood.

Qin Tian sensed them carefully and was quite surprised.

This Prison-Suppressing Indestructible Body was incredibly powerful, but the Heaven And Earth Treasures it consumed were far too many, weren't they?

The consumption for just the first layer was equivalent to the entire Foundation of a small Sect... If he didn't have the treasures from those major Forbidden Zones in hand, Qin Tian really wouldn't be able to afford to learn it!

At this moment, Yun Xi grew more shocked the more she watched.

Qin Tian's skin was gradually turning golden, as if it were being constantly tempered.

"Tian'er, has he chosen the path of Body Refining?"

She was somewhat puzzled.

It wasn't that no one had tried the path of Body Refining in the Immortal Ancient era.

But wanting to achieve a Breakthrough was extremely difficult.

And most importantly, Body Refining yielded no Dao Fruit.

Before the Creation Realm, in battles within the same realm, a Body Cultivator could hold a massive advantage.

However, once one stepped into the Creation Realm and plucked a Dao Fruit, the singular combat style of a Body Cultivator would be completely useless against the ever-changing Dao Fruits and would be utterly crushed... She didn't understand why Qin Tian would take this path.

However, even if she didn't understand, she couldn't stop him.

She could only sigh softly. "Tian'er must have his own considerations..."

...A few hours later, Qin Tian quietly opened his eyes.

The imprints of the Longevity Being still surrounded him.

"I really wish I could take all of these Legacies with me!"

He sighed softly.

After learning the first half of the Prison-Suppressing Indestructible Body, he tried to comprehend the Legacies of the other imprints.

However, they were all kept at bay by the Prison-Suppressing Indestructible Body.

It seemed that this Prison Suppressing Indestructible method was mutually exclusive with the Legacies in these imprints.

"What a pity..."

"However, I can still gain insights from these imprints. It's the perfect time to use them to Breakthrough to the Tongyou Realm."

Yun Xi looked up. "Tian'er, how is it?"

"Revered Master, I obtained a Body Refining technique."

So it really was Body Refining... "Tian'er, techniques and the body repel each other. Cultivating both paths simultaneously is extremely difficult; it will be very hard to Breakthrough to the Creation Realm."

"Don't worry, Revered Master, I have a way."

It was indeed difficult for others.

But with the System, Qin Tian had no such concerns.

"Revered Master, have you ever heard of the Indestructible Immortal Venerable?"

"Never heard of him." Yun Xi shook her head. "However, there are many Seniors in the Imperial City; perhaps some might know."

Qin Tian nodded.

"Revered Master, these imprints are rare. This Disciple wishes to Breakthrough to the Tongyou Realm on this Ancient Road."

Yun Xi was stunned for a moment.

How long had it been since Qin Tian's Breakthrough to the Grotto-Heaven Realm?

Wait, counting from his Dao Entry Realm, it hadn't even been a year, right?

And he's already at the Tongyou Realm?

This cultivation speed was faster than any Genius she had ever known...!

"Tian'er, haste makes waste."

"It is better to first polish your Grotto-Heaven Realm to Perfection."

"Revered Master, it is already at Perfection."

As his voice fell...

The Hongmeng Mysterious Realm manifested, and the seven emotions seed revealed seven streaks of perfect radiance, encircling it.

Yun Xi sent out her Divine Thought.

The Foundation was solid, the dao seed was at Perfection, and there were no flaws... Qin Tian really had reached Perfection in the Grotto-Heaven Realm.

No, this dao seed looked as if it had grown out of the Grotto-Heaven itself; it was a state of Perfection even higher than Perfection.

This was too... incredible... Yun Xi suppressed the shock in her heart and no longer stopped Qin Tian.

"Tian'er, the so-called Tongyou Realm, as the name suggests, means a winding path leading to seclusion. The dao seed grows within the Grotto-Heaven and gives birth to a Spiritual Sprout."

"Spiritual Sprouts are divided into three states: Immortal, Saint, and Spirit."

"Those surrounded by immortal mist are called immortal grade, the highest grade. Those who obtain such a sprout are all peerless chosen ones of heaven."

"Those with Saint Runes appearing are called Saint Grade, while the Spirit Grade is the most common Spiritual Sprout."

Qin Tian nodded.

"This Disciple understands."

The imprints on the Ancient Road could be used for tempering.

He was looking forward to seeing what special characteristics the Spiritual Sprout formed by the seven emotions seed breaking through the soil would have.

Furthermore, he could also use this to Cultivate the Prison-Suppressing Indestructible Body.

Qin Tian adjusted his breathing to his optimal state.

Then, his Divine Thought swept over the Heaven And Earth Treasures he had seized from the Forbidden Zones, bringing the necessary items into the Hongmeng Mysterious Realm.

Everything was prepared.

Qin Tian gazed at the Ancient Road and stepped forward.

Immediately, one imprint after another lit up in succession.

The residual auras that had been dormant also awakened one by one.

In Qin Tian's ears, echoes lingered.

He carefully sensed the residual power of these Longevity Being.

They were the most powerful beings of the Immortal Ancient era and the pinnacle of a certain path.

Yun Xi slowly followed by Qin Tian's side.

Gazing at that figure, she actually became somewhat dazed for a moment.

Qin Tian's talent had greatly exceeded her expectations.

"Tian'er, you might have the chance to step onto that legendary path, achieve longevity, and look down upon the world."

"What Revered Master can do for you is to try her best to help smooth your path, leaving no regrets..."

...At the same time, in an ancient land not far from the Ancient Road.

A scarlet eyeball twitched and suddenly snapped open.

Beside the eyeball, there was also a withered hand and a giant mouth that was nearly falling off... The giant mouth trembled constantly, emitting intermittent, hoarse sounds... "Lon... gev... i... ty... Be... ing..."

...
