Chapter 620: The fourth level of Huangting, Taichong becomes immortal!
In an instant, severe pain came.
Li Daoxuan saw clearly what was biting him; it was a purple-and-gold marten.
This creature is shaped like a white rat and is kept in a green bag by Mo Lishou, the Heavenly King of Dhritarashtra. The "Investiture of the Gods" says that it has flying wings on its ribs and eats all the people in the world.
This creature is extremely fast and hard to guard against, and its teeth contain terrible toxins. Even an immortal would feel unbearable pain or even paralysis if bitten by one.
At this moment, Li Daoxuan had a deep understanding of this.
The poison of the purple-gold marten injected into his already broken body was really adding insult to injury. If it weren't for the support of the Xuan-yuan Sword, Li Daoxuan would have collapsed long ago.
The purple-gold marten continued to grow larger, and finally became like a white elephant, dragging Li Daoxuan's body and sinking continuously.
It was obvious that it was confident in its poison and thought that its prey was now unable to move.
But the next moment, two golden lights flew up from the Three Realms Gourd, instantly blinding its eyes, and the fire of the sun burned in the water, causing its skin to be torn and it to scream in pain.
Top-grade spiritual treasure, embroidery needle!
Li Daoxuan felt his whole body lighten. He used up his last bit of strength and once again displayed his magical power of moving stars and changing constellations. He finally flew out of the water.
In an instant, the clouds cleared and the moon appeared.
The light is brilliant, the fairy clouds are like the sea, the clear air is lingering, and it is not stained by dust.
Li Daoxuan finally escaped from the Tianhe River and his body fell to the ground, or rather, on the clouds. There was no ground in heaven, only vast fairy clouds, like rosy clouds and fog.
Tens of thousands of golden lights roll in red neon, and thousands of auspicious auras emit purple mist.
Not far away are magnificent fairy palaces, which seem to be carved out of colored glaze and made of beautiful jade. The jade buildings all have the atmosphere of fairies, and are glowing with a hazy light.
It is both majestic and ethereal.
The only thing that seemed a little out of place was that this holy land of immortals seemed unusually cold and lonely. Looking up, there was azure sea and blue sky, and it seemed that he was the only one there.
Li Daoxuan looked back at the Tianhe River. Through the dark water, he could see four figures looming below. They seemed unwilling to give up, but finally chose to remain silent.
Among them, Guangmu Heavenly King Mo Lihong lingered the longest, as if he was brooding over his treasured umbrella that was stolen from him. However, there seemed to be some invisible force in the Milky Way that prevented him from leaving.
After an unknown amount of time, Mo Lihong's figure disappeared, and Li Daoxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He was thoughtful. The Four Heavenly Kings seemed to be some kind of puppets, guarding the Milky Way so that they would not be corrupted by the river water.
Fortunately, he had many magic weapons and his supernatural powers were still there, so he was able to barely fight his way out.
Thinking of the leaders and elders of various sects who had once ascended to heaven but turned into bones, Li Daoxuan's heart moved.
Will it be that all those who ascend will be forcibly sent to this Milky Way?
For example, when he grabbed the dragon's tail and flew over the South Gate of Heaven, he felt dizzy , as if he was forcibly teleported by some force.
But if that’s the case, then why didn’t I see my senior sister?
Li Daoxuan shook his head and put these things deep in his heart and stopped thinking about them for the time being. The most important thing at the moment was his health.
The fairy palace in the distance was magnificent and golden, with countless rays of light, as if it hid infinite creations. However, Li Daoxuan had no intention of exploring it at the moment. A single Milky Way was so dangerous, so who knew what dangers were hidden in those places?
Sitting cross-legged in meditation, he looked inward at his body and realized how seriously he was injured.
Strictly speaking, this is not considered an injury. His immortal human body has been mostly corroded, his qi and blood are depleted , his meridians are broken, and his heart no longer beats.
This is a corpse that cannot be deader!
His current state is somewhat like the Taoist practice of resurrecting a corpse, barely holding on with the help of a corpse and profound magic power.
Of course, he could also choose to leave the Yang Shen and completely abandon this physical body, but in this crisis-ridden heaven, Li Daoxuan did not have much confidence relying solely on the power of the Yang Shen.
Moreover, that would mean he would have to abandon the human immortal body he had cultivated with great difficulty and take the path of a ghost immortal. To be honest, he was unwilling to do that.
No matter how powerful a ghost immortal is, he can never become a celestial immortal. If he wants to become a true celestial immortal who roams freely in the three realms, he must first cultivate himself into a human immortal, and then refine the power of the earth veins to become an earthly immortal. Finally, he can become a celestial immortal.
In addition, the "Huangting Ancient Scripture" that he had practiced for many years also required a physical body to practice. If he gave up this physical body, all his previous efforts would be wasted.
After thinking about it, Li Daoxuan finally made up his mind not to give up his physical body!
He slapped the Three Realms Gourd, and a figure flew out from it. It was about three inches long, with colorful wings on its back, flower petals as a skirt, and bare feet, dancing beside Li Daoxuan.
“Daddy!”
When the little flower god saw Li Daoxuan's appearance, he was about to cry, but he held back his tears and quickly took out his treasured nectar and gave it to him to drink.
At this moment, Li Daoxuan was extremely grateful that he put the little flower goddess into the Three Realms Gourd before entering the Heavenly Palace, otherwise she would have been corroded by the water of the Milky Way.
After drinking a whole jar of nectar, Li Daoxuan felt better. He felt numb inside his body, like a dead tree coming back to life in spring. He regained a lot of energy, but unfortunately, his left arm was still just white bones and no flesh had grown.
Not enough!
Li Daoxuan ordered the little flower god to bring another thing, which was a jade box. Inside was a ginseng with nine leaves, emitting a strong medicinal fragrance.
Nine-leaf ginseng king!
It was the 900-year-old ginseng that Li Daoxuan had snatched from the nine-tailed fox demon. He had originally planned to plant the ginseng and use it to make pills when it grew to a thousand years old.
Don’t think about anything now, just eat!
Without boiling it or making any elixir, Li Daoxuan ate it raw. He swallowed the nine-leaf ginseng king, which was about nine inches long and shaped like a human, in big mouthfuls. Even the leaves were chewed into pieces and he swallowed the whole thing into his stomach.
To be honest, it tastes terrible.
Although ginseng has a strong medicinal aroma, it is also accompanied by a bitter taste that fills the lips and teeth, and has a slight earthy smell that makes it difficult to swallow.
However, as the Nine-Leaf Ginseng King went down his stomach, Li Daoxuan's stomach suddenly made a thunderous sound, and the surging medicinal power rushed to his limbs and bones like a rushing river.
Finally, after taking another big sip of nectar, Li Daoxuan turned his five hearts toward the sky, made the Ziwu seal with his hands, closed his eyes and concentrated, silently chanted Huangting, and circulated the Zhoutian.
The Nine-Leaf Ginseng King is indeed worthy of its reputation. It has been nourished by the essence of the sun and the moon and the veins of the earth for nine hundred years. The medicinal power contained in it is so strong that Li Daoxuan has never seen it in his life.
Medicinal materials such as Polygonum multiflorum are extremely precious. Legend has it that Zhang Guolao became an immortal after accidentally eating a thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum. The one that Li Daoxuan took now was only a hundred years old.
The little flower god tightly grasped the palm-leaf fan, and while he was concerned about his father's condition, he looked around nervously to protect his father.
She didn't know how long it had been when she suddenly felt a huge heat wave coming over her. She just raised the palm-leaf fan and found that the heat wave was coming from her father's body.
At this moment, Li Daoxuan's body and face were all red, as if he was a red-hot iron. Hot steam was rising up and pouring out from his limbs and bones, with a strong smell of medicine.
That is the poison contained in the Nine-Leaf Ginseng King.
All medicines are poisonous to some extent, even the Nine-Leaf Ginseng King is no exception, and the stronger the medicinal power, the more toxic it is. The reason why many Taoists have to open a furnace to refine elixirs is because through refining elixirs, they can not only maximize the medicinal power, but also weaken the toxicity.
However, Li Daoxuan possessed the body of a human immortal, had profound Taoist practice, and had the "Huangting Ancient Scripture", a true immortal inheritance. He was not affected by the drug poison, but eliminated it through his pores.
Purify the medicinal power and refine the essence.
After an unknown amount of time, the red color on his body finally slowly dissipated, replaced by white.
It was no longer as pale as before, but as smooth as jade, with a restrained spirit, and a crystal-like luster flowing through the skin, looking as bright as the moon from a distance.
Star-like acupoints lit up in his body, a total of 24,000 of them, like a sea of stars.
The fourth level of the Huangting Ancient Scripture!
Under the powerful medicinal effect of the Nine-Leaf Ginseng King, he finally broke through the bottleneck of the third level and stepped into the fourth level that even the old master could not cultivate!
The fourth level corresponds to... Immortality!
It was at this moment that Li Daoxuan completely possessed the level of a human immortal and became a genuine immortal.
The mana in the body increased several times, and then... it was gone?
Li Daoxuan opened his eyes and frowned. Is this how he became an immortal? Just like this?
I didn't feel that kind of qualitative transformation. Logically speaking, there would be a huge improvement after becoming an immortal, which is a sublimation of the level of life.
No matter how powerful one is in the Yangshen realm, one can only live for two hundred years at most. However, once one becomes an immortal, even a human immortal, one can easily live for two to three thousand years.
Earthly immortals have completely achieved immortality and are no longer limited by their lifespan.
As for the celestial beings, there are not many of them even in the Heavenly Palace. Each of them is a big boss, qualified to participate in the Peach Festival, and has a relatively high position.
However, at this moment, Li Daoxuan did not feel the transformation into an immortal at all. His lifespan increased, but not much, and was far from reaching the level that a human immortal should have.
Suddenly, he suddenly realized what he was missing.
Short of overcoming the tribulation!
This cannot be blamed on him. Normally, when a cultivator reaches the level of a human immortal, the Heavenly Dao will be aware of it and will immediately send down a thunder tribulation.
Only by getting through it can there be a qualitative transformation; if you can't get through it, you will die.
But Li Daoxuan waited here for a long time, staring at the little flower god, but no heavenly calamity came.
Oh, I feel like I'm in heaven.
That bothers me.
He suddenly remembered that the holy land of Heaven never saw thunder disasters, and since ancient times, cultivators had to overcome thunder disasters in the human world.
In other words, he is in the sky at this moment. Even if there is a thunder tribulation, it will be under his feet. It can't strike him backwards, right?
Think about it, if there were thunder and lightning and dark clouds in heaven all the time, how could there be any trace of immortal atmosphere?
With a sigh, Li Daoxuan murmured, "So, I am stuck in the thunder tribulation bug?"
"It's better to wait a little longer. After all, my body hasn't recovered yet..."
Li Daoxuan looked at his left arm. There was some pitiful flesh and blood growing on the white bones, but it was very sparse. He was really afraid that it would be gone if he shook it.
The water of the Tianhe River contains a very strange power. Corroded flesh and blood is extremely difficult to recover. Although the Nine-Leaf Ginseng King has amazing medicinal power, it can only repair 30% of the body.
“But it’s much better than before.”
Li Daoxuan stood up, gripped the Xuanyuan Sword tightly, and looked at the immortal palaces in the distance.
The little flower god landed on his shoulder, a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
"Daddy, that place... seems a little scary..."
"Good fortune and bad fortune go hand in hand. After all, I am now a human immortal. It is no use waiting here all the time. Let's go and take a look inside together."
A gleam of light flashed in Li Daoxuan's eyes.
The Heavenly Palace is indeed extremely dangerous, but it is undeniable that it is also an unprecedented treasure land. Who knows, maybe he can turn a disaster into a blessing this time?
