Chapter 774 Mustard Seed Dao-Gathering True Body Technique
Deep in his consciousness, Jemin sat cross-legged in front of the Great Dao Book Pavilion.
The majestic white jade library stands silently amidst the chaos, its entire body radiating a warm and gentle white luster.
Countless jade slips, like stars, swirled around him, constantly flying up to Jieming's side and then returning to the sea of books, guided by his will. The vast stream of information transformed into streaks of light, flashing continuously before Jieming's eyes.
Jemin had been sitting here for a long time.
The number of cultivation methods, supernatural powers, and secret techniques that I have read through already exceeds ten thousand.
But with each jade slip he opened, his brows furrowed even deeper.
If the goal is simply to continue experimenting within the world fragments, then all this trouble is unnecessary.
Simply find any clone technique or incarnation technique, create an incarnation with only one percent of the original's strength, and that's enough to easily slip into those small world fragments with a diameter of only a few dozen kilometers.
They didn't even need to consult the Great Dao Library; the wizard civilization's existing puppetry techniques could solve the problem.
Create a high-level puppet that has no direct legal connection with the original body, then project your consciousness onto it, conduct research as before, and carry out experiments as before, with almost no difference.
But what Kejamin really needs to solve is another, more difficult problem.
Dimensional Wars.
In conventional interdimensional warfare, the interdimensional barrier cracks that can be torn open are usually only a few hundred kilometers long.
Under normal circumstances, this size is sufficient, enough for a massive army of wizards to come and go.
Can……
Jemin looked down at himself and sighed softly.
The spatial rift, normally large enough to accommodate an entire legion, was pitifully narrow in front of his 500-kilometer-tall true form. If his 500-kilometer-tall true form tried to squeeze in, it would only be stuck by the almost endless repulsive force of the dimensional barrier.
Let alone fighting.
It would be difficult to even take a single step.
Not to mention the future.
According to the deductions of the "True Scripture of Self-Mastery," once the three forms of Dharma are cultivated, his true body will expand to 250,000 kilometers. At that time, even the spatial rifts of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane itself will probably have to be redesigned with a "widened entrance," otherwise he won't even be able to leave his own home.
Thinking of this, Jemin's lips twitched involuntarily.
He gently rubbed his temples, suppressing those somewhat absurd thoughts once again.
Ultimately, what he really needs is not a clone.
Rather, it is a method that can truly compress one's own status and the essence of one's own existence.
On this basis, Jemin also hoped to neither weaken combat effectiveness nor reduce survivability.
Ideally, it should also maintain all the laws, all the power, and all the characteristics of its current 500-kilometer-long true form.
Only in this way can he freely enter and exit the dimensional barrier in the future, and also re-enter those world fragments.
Thinking of this, he once again opened a jade slip beside him that contained a description of an incarnation technique.
A moment later, he silently put it back.
No.
Let's get another one.
Or not.
A jade slip resembling an incarnation slowly closed and flew back into the sea of books. Jieming leaned against the white jade steps in front of the Great Dao Book Pavilion and let out a long breath. Although he had only read less than half of it so far, he already understood.
Simply searching within incarnation-related methods will most likely not yield the results you seek.
Because the two worlds are fundamentally different.
The world inhabited by the wizarding civilization is primarily composed of an endless, chaotic void.
Each plane is an independently created world with a complete spatial structure.
The planes are separated from each other by endless void.
Entering another dimension is essentially entering another space.
Therefore, if the true body is too large, it will naturally encounter the problem of being unable to enter spatial rifts or pass through dimensional barriers.
But the world of cultivation is completely different.
According to the information he had learned while browsing the Great Dao Library, the cultivation civilization existed in a universe-like world.
It was a universe that was truly almost infinitely vast.
Although there are countless stars and civilizations, everything exists within the same infinitely vast cosmic framework.
They are not independent spaces, but simply different coordinates within the same space.
There, being huge is never a problem.
Once one's cultivation reaches a high level, one can simply move freely in the universe.
Anyway, the universe is vast enough.
Jemin even remembered seeing a record of "Star God" in an ancient book.
The so-called Star Gods are not deities born from planets, but terrifying beings whose physical scale is based on an entire galaxy.
Some star gods are so enormous that a single eye is enough to cover an entire galaxy.
Compared to such beings, his current 500-kilometer-long true form is no different from a grain of sand.
Of course, the world of cultivation also contains independent spaces such as grotto-heavens, secret realms, and small worlds.
These places also have entry restrictions.
However, the primary limitation in such areas is not physical size, but cultivation level.
As long as a cultivator's cultivation level does not exceed the limit that the cave heaven can bear, in most cases they will be able to enter the gate of the secret realm.
After all, demonic beasts of the same realm are often much larger than cultivators.
Many secret realms or grottoes were created with the aim of establishing a complete ecosystem.
If the exit isn't big enough, these monsters simply won't be able to get in.
Moreover, most cultivators only need to maintain one avatar with extremely low energy consumption in their daily activities.
Almost no one would specifically study how to compress their true form.
With that in mind, Jemin abandoned his plan to continue browsing through the transformation spells.
He raised his hand, a thought forming in his mind.
Inside the Great Dao Library, countless jade slips trembled slightly at the same time.
The search criteria began to change rapidly.
All methods related to "incarnation" and "clone" have been removed, and the previously invalid keyword "true form compression" has also been removed.
New keywords are emerging.
[Positioning process...and [Existence mapping]].
With the screening completed, the previously overwhelming flood of jade slips suddenly decreased.
In the blink of an eye.
The sea of books that once filled the entire world was reduced to just one bookshelf.
Jemin's spirits lifted immediately.
There is a play.
He immediately began to carefully examine each one.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Then a jade slip emitting a faint golden light slowly flew in front of him, and Jemin reached out and caught it.
His eyes lit up after just one glance at the name.
The Secret of the True Body of the Mustard Seed.
He immediately probed it with his divine sense.
The very first sentence on the jade slip immediately caught his eye.
"To contain the immeasurable Dharma body within a mustard seed, and to conceal the great Dao of all heavens within an inch of body."
Jemin continued downwards, the light in his eyes growing brighter and brighter.
The core of this supernatural power is not forcibly shrinking one's true form.
Instead, he completely submerged his enormous true form into the grotto.
With the help of the laws of the cave, a new ultimate battle form, the size of a mortal, is projected.
The entire process is not simply about compressing the body, but about completely transferring the foundation of the true form's existence from the external world to a celestial realm. Then, using the power of the celestial realm as a blueprint, the self is projected back into the real world.
It appears to have shrunk by millions of times.
In reality, it was equivalent to condensing the power of an entire world plus the power of the entire true body into a body of ordinary size.
The entire supernatural power is divided into three steps.
first step.
Dharma disintegrates.
It actively disintegrated its massive Dharma form, transforming it into pure Daoist essence.
It's like turning a majestic mountain back into a sky full of quicksand.
The second step.
Forged in a grotto.
All Daoist particles are channeled into the core of the grotto-heaven, completely merging with the Five Elements power, spiritual energy circulation, and even the laws of time flow within the grotto-heaven. During this process, every inch of the true body's flesh, every bone, and every drop of blood will be redefined as part of the grotto-heaven's power. Third step.
Reflection and projection.
Using the primordial spirit as a coordinate, a physical entity of the same size as a mortal body is projected outward from the depths of the cave.
This is not merely an illusion or incarnation, but a real body truly formed by the power of the grotto-heaven combined with the power of one's true self. Every strand of hair carries the weight of the grotto-heaven's mountains and rivers.
Every breath draws in the spiritual energy tides of the entire grotto.
The further back Jemin looked, the brighter his eyes became.
Once completed, the original aura of the true form will be completely compressed into a body only a few feet in size.
Every punch he threw was equivalent to his own strength plus the entire cavern pressing down on him at the same time.
Every collision carries the weight of a world.
Simply by standing there, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would gather towards him, forming a terrifying vortex of spiritual pressure around his body.
And this is only the basic effect after the method is completed.
Besides the simple and direct numerical increase, cultivators can also gain two special abilities by relying on the special state between their true body and the grotto-heaven. The first is their mode of movement.
After achieving mastery, the cultivator no longer moves their external body, but rather the mapped coordinates within the cave.
From the outside, it may seem like only one step, but by adjusting the coordinates inside the cave, it has already traversed hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers.
In the real world, this is almost equivalent to the supernatural ability of shrinking the distance to an inch.
As for the last ability, it made even Jemin's heart skip a beat.
Transformation between the real and the virtual.
During battle, you can actively re-submerge a part of your body into the cave.
The corresponding location in the outside world will directly transform into a void without any physical form.
An enemy's sword thrust could instantly pierce through the chest, leaving the body unharmed.
Seeing this, Jemin finally couldn't help but laugh.
perfect.
True perfection.
It can not only reduce the 500-kilometer true form to its normal size, but also completely solve the problem of entering and exiting dimensional barriers and world fragments.
It further increased the power density to an unbelievable level.
Close-quarters combat ability has actually increased rather than decreased.
More importantly, the most troublesome cultivation resource for this Mustard Seed True Body Technique is having a unique and high-quality cave heaven. According to the teachings, as a cultivator's cultivation level increases, when the cave heaven is no longer sufficient to contain their true body, the technique will become ineffective, and the cultivator must find a new cave heaven.
Coincidentally, the cave was indeed there.
Moreover, it is extremely rare to find a grotto-heaven that can improve in sync with one's own cultivation level!
On the other hand, if one cultivates this method, the inner world, which originally mainly served to store resources, maintain logistics, and transport troops, is completely transformed into a core component of the combat system.
Jemin continued flipping to the last page, but paused slightly when he saw the rank.
Immortal level.
Jemin was silent for a moment, then smiled softly.
I wasn't too surprised.
Instead, they felt it was perfectly natural.
It would be strange if such an almost heaven-defying supernatural power were only at an ordinary level.
He gently put away the jade slip and held it in his palm.
It doesn't really matter if we can't access the world fragments in the short term.
At worst, we can use the advanced puppetry techniques of the wizard civilization as a temporary solution.
The research will not stop.
The experiment can still continue.
At this stage, he has no intention of achieving instant success.
Completing the first half—fully integrating the 500-kilometer true form into the inner celestial realm and escaping the current limitations on movement—would be sufficient. As for the subsequent celestial realm reflection, law projection, and truly condensing an entire world into a body only a few feet in size…
You can cultivate it gradually.
Jemin slowly stood up.
Before the White Jade Pavilion, countless jade slips returned to silence once more.
He looked down at the "Mustard Seed Dao True Body Technique" in his palm, a long-lost expectation appearing in his eyes.
It seems he'll have something to do for a long time to come.
