Chapter 618 Advancement to the Void Refinement Realm
In the secluded chamber, time lost its meaning, and more than a decade passed in the blink of an eye.
Jemin sat cross-legged in the center of the secret room, the ground around him covered with densely packed runes.
That was a magic array he had spent three years setting up, used to stabilize his mind, isolate him from external disturbances, and assist in his breakthrough.
Outside the secret chamber, the black giant priests took turns on guard duty.
Inside the sealed room, only a single lamp cast a faint glow, casting his motionless shadow on the wall.
Over the years, he has spent a lot of time thoroughly studying the "True Body Sutra of Self-Existence" from beginning to end, repeatedly pondering every word, every verse, and every key point until he knew it by heart.
It took another five years to adapt the pills needed in the cultivation method into magical potions one by one, ensuring that the effects of the immortal cultivation world were achieved using the methods of the wizarding world.
Some are easy, requiring only the replacement of a few ingredients; others are extremely difficult, requiring a complete redesign of the formula.
He experimented with the most troublesome ingredient, "Condensing Void Pill," thousands of times before finally finding a suitable alternative.
He spent the rest of his time taking those magical potions, letting their effects slowly seep into every corner of his body, preparing for a breakthrough.
At this moment, all preparations have been completed.
Jemin opened his eyes, and the flame of the ever-burning lamp flickered in his pupils.
He took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled.
"Let's begin."
He activated his cultivation technique, and his spiritual energy circulated within his body along specific pathways.
The cultivation of the Dharma body is not like the gentle and smooth flow of the usual path, but rather a violent impact that seems to tear the meridians apart.
Each time it operates, it feels like an invisible knife is churning inside his body.
Jemin gritted his teeth and even forcibly suppressed the automatic operation of the Body Tempering Technique to prevent it from repairing the tissues torn apart by the spiritual energy.
Once his physical condition reached a certain limit, he deliberately dispersed the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit.
In that instant, Jemin felt as if his body was being blown apart from the inside.
Essence, Qi, and Spirit have been constantly condensing and merging since the first day he embarked on the path of cultivation.
They are the foundation of his existence, the cornerstone of his cultivation, and the core of what makes him "him".
And now, he has personally dismantled them.
A violent tremor surged from deep within his body, spreading in all directions like an earthquake.
Jemin's body trembled, his mind was churning, and his spiritual energy was rampaging through his meridians like a wild horse.
He felt his consciousness being torn apart and pulled apart, as if he had been thrown into an endless darkness.
Then, he sensed those "things".
They emerged from the "cracks" in the darkness of his consciousness, silently approaching his mental sea.
Some resembled distorted shadows, others rotten tentacles, and still others had no fixed shape at all, merely a constantly shifting, nauseating mass of color.
It's an inner demon.
During the period of mental turmoil after his energy and spirit were scattered, various negative emotions continuously transformed into inner demons, which then swarmed in like sharks smelling blood.
Jemin didn't move, nor did he even use his mental energy to resist.
The moment the first inner demon touched the edge of his spiritual sea, the network of incense and divine paths was automatically activated.
The faith of billions of believers converges into a golden barrier, keeping those inner demons at bay.
They frantically tore at it, trying to find a loophole, but the network of incense and religious rites was impenetrable.
Among those inner demons, the most powerful ones managed to sneak in a trace of their aura, but before they could even get close to Jemin's core consciousness, the Five Elements Transformation Rainbow Mirror lit up.
A brilliant light surged from his dantian, illuminating and dispelling the invading aura.
Before long, Jemin adapted to the new situation, and the inner demons retreated with unwilling screams.
The whole process took only a few breaths.
Jemin didn't even pay attention to them; all his attention was focused on his body.
The dispersal of the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit is just the beginning.
Next, he will rebuild his life form in this "chaos".
Following the guidance of the "My True Self-Existence Sutra," he began to guide the scattered essence, energy, and spirit, allowing them to recombine according to specific rules.
He coalesced into a completely new and independent "Dharmakaya," which is both one with and two of him.
This process is very slow.
It was so slow that he could even feel the movement of every bit of essence, every strand of spiritual power, and every speck of divine thought.
They were like countless tiny streams, converging from every corner of his body and slowly gathering behind him.
At first, it was just a blurry mass of light and shadow, like mist, like an illusion, without any shape.
But as time went on, the ball of light and shadow began to expand, solidify, and reveal its outline.
Head, neck, torso, limbs—a colossal figure slowly took shape behind him.
After an unknown amount of time, the light in the secret room finally stabilized.
Jemin opened his eyes and looked back.
A hundred-meter-tall phantom hovered behind him, its entire body a dark gold color, with a broad back and bulging muscles.
Its body is not completely solidified yet, and the edges are somewhat blurry, as if seen through a thin veil.
But the outline is already clearly discernible.
The entire body has only one head, but there is a face on the front and a face on the back of the head.
The one in front has a handsome face and a Taoist air about him, as if he might start preaching at any moment.
The next one has strong lines and a calm, rational expression, like a scholar deep in thought.
Both faces have a golden line between their eyebrows, which looks like a closed vertical eye at first glance.
Although it has two sides, it only has one pair of arms.
He held a book in his left hand and a small round mirror in his right. The mirror surface shimmered with iridescent light, echoing the Five Elements Transformation Rainbow Mirror in Jieming's dantian.
It wore a peculiar robe. The upper part was in the style of a Taoist robe, with wide sleeves and a flowing, otherworldly feel; the lower part, however, incorporated elements of a wizard's robe, with simple lines and faint runes.
The two styles are completely different, yet they are cleverly blended together without appearing abrupt at all.
My innate Dharma body: The true body of my own freedom.
Jemin looked at the phantom and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Judging from the appearance of his Dharma body, compared with the various Dharma bodies recorded in the Great Dao Library, his Dharma body is not particularly strong.
Some of those top-tier Dharma bodies possess six arms, some ride on two dragons, and some are surrounded by phenomena of laws.
His statue only had two hands and a head, and even the strange phenomena were barely visible.
But it's not weak either.
Overall, it's about average to above average, nothing special, but it's a perfect match for him.
He could sense that every part of this Dharma body was closely connected to his own characteristics.
"Not bad." Jemin nodded in satisfaction.
Next comes the slow and steady process.
The practice of cultivating the Dharma body allows the Dharma body behind you to gradually solidify.
This is a slow, gradual process.
As his Dharma body becomes more and more solid, his physical body will become more and more illusory.
When his Dharma body is fully solidified, his current physical body will completely disappear, and the Dharma body will become his true body.
Of course, even at that point, he can still transform back into a normal person in his daily life.
However, in certain special circumstances, such as when passing through spatial rifts, even if he maintains a normal body size, he must tear the rift to a size large enough for his Dharma body to pass through.
Because his essence has changed; he is no longer "a person," but a colossal entity.
Suddenly, a question occurred to Jemin.
In each interdimensional war, when high-ranking wizards forcibly enter other dimensions, they need to tear open extremely large spatial rifts.
Looking back now, wizards of level six and above probably also possess some characteristics similar to a "true form".
"Interesting." Jemin kept this thought in mind, planning to study it in more depth when he had time.
He stood up and stretched his somewhat stiff body.
The illusory image of his Dharma body behind him swayed slightly with his movements, like a giant flag.
He looked up at the ceiling of the secret room, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the rock and see the gray-red sky outside.
He is now a genuine cultivator at the Refinement Realm.
The path to immortality is long, but he's already on it.
Jemin raised his hand, and the door to the secret room slowly opened.
Outside, the black giant priests knelt in neat rows, bowing their heads the moment they saw him.
"Congratulations on your completion of seclusion, Master."
