Chapter 617 The Sutra of My Own True Self-Existence
After completing the three-stage refining of the Five Elements Rainbow Mirror, Jieming did not rush to leave seclusion.
He sat cross-legged in the center of the smelting room, feeling the brilliant light slowly flowing from the small round mirror in his dantian, and began to plan his next move.
Advance to the Void Refinement Realm.
After thousands of years of accumulation and nearly a thousand years of planning, the time has finally come to put it into action.
Jemin immersed his consciousness into the Great Dao Library, retrieved all the classic texts about the Refining Void Realm, and began to systematically sort them out.
The essence of the Refining Void Realm is simple in a way.
As long as the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit are up to standard, practicing specific techniques can lead to a special state.
In this state, the cultivator's life form will begin to change.
As the cultivation method progresses, the life form is gradually transformed. Once the transformation is complete, the cultivation of the Void Refining Realm will end, and one can then prepare to enter the Dao Integration Realm.
Therefore, in the earliest days, cultivation at the Refinement Realm did not actually increase combat power, and in some ways it even decreased it.
After all, your body is being disassembled and reassembled, so it's no wonder you can't exert your original strength.
Of course, after countless generations of cultivators have developed and optimized them, some existing cultivation methods for the Void Refinement Realm can now significantly enhance combat power while being modified.
However, given the inherent characteristics of the Void Refinement Realm, the dangers it presents will not be lacking.
The greatest danger is the inner demon.
Jemin turned a page of the ancient book, his gaze falling on the three words "Inner Demon Tribulation".
In the cultivation system, cultivators have always pursued "returning to oneness".
The three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit must be unified; thoughts and distractions must be unified; even the flow of energy within the body must be unified.
The purer the state of unity, the more stable one's cultivation, and the closer one is to the Dao.
However, those in the Refining Void Realm deliberately do the opposite.
In order to change the form of life, cultivators must actively break this state of unity, allowing the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit to disperse again, and allowing thoughts and distractions to become active again.
It's like a calm lake; if you throw a stone into it, it will create huge waves.
Under normal circumstances, cultivators may encounter inner demons, but unless there is a major stimulus, the probability of inner demons appearing is very low, and their destructive power is also limited.
In the Refining Void Realm, a cultivator's distracting thoughts and ideas are easily spread. In addition, the dispersion of essence, energy, and spirit leads to a weakened physical defense, making it easy for external emotions and will to take advantage of the situation.
The probability of inner demons emerging and their destructive power will increase significantly.
Especially at the moment when the three treasures of essence, energy, and spirit are dispersed, the body's state changes drastically, the defense is weakest, and it is most likely to attract inner demons.
The cultivators call this moment the "Tribulation of Inner Demons".
Jemin closed the ancient book, seemingly unconcerned about it.
The tribulation of inner demons?
He has the power of incense and deities, and the faith of billions of believers forms a network. Any external emotions or will that want to invade his spiritual sea must first pass through the barrier of incense and deities.
Those chaotic and distorted thoughts are lucky to survive under the filtering of incense and deities.
He also possesses the five aggregates transformed into a rainbow.
Originally a natal magic weapon specializing in spirituality, the small round mirror after its third transformation has become even more spiritually powerful. Even though it doesn't have any special protective abilities, it still has a considerable degree of protection for the mind thanks to its abundant spirituality and the characteristics of a natal magic weapon.
With this double protection, if he can't overcome the tribulation of inner demons, then there are very few people in the cultivation world who can.
However, the necessary preparations still need to be made.
Jemin opened the magic network terminal, searched around the Star Ring Federation's trading platform, and placed an order for a batch of magic potions that could purify the soul.
I bought all kinds of products—high-end, low-end, oral, and infusion—to make sure everything was perfect.
On the other hand, the cultivation of the Void Refining Realm is essentially a surgical procedure to transform the form of life.
During the surgery, it is necessary to continuously take pills that are compatible with the cultivation method in order to maintain the stability and efficiency of the transformation process.
The recipes for these elixirs mostly come from the world of cultivation, and the ingredients may not be found in the world of wizards.
But Jemin was confident in his potions skills and was sure he could develop a potion with similar effects.
Isn't it just using wizarding methods to achieve the goal of cultivating immortality?
He has been doing this for years.
The material preparations were manageable, but what truly troubled Jieming was the choice of cultivation method.
The cultivation methods of the Void Refining Realm are essentially different life transformation paths.
Some emphasize the physical body, some the primordial spirit, some the energy core, or a combination of all three, but none are particularly outstanding.
Each path has its advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of which path to take directly determines the development direction of the Void Refining Realm and even the Dao Integration Realm.
Jemin sat in front of the Great Path Book Pavilion for a long time, with two rows of ancient books floating in front of him.
Regarding the special cultivation method required to advance to the Void Refinement Realm, he had long ago decided to choose a Dharma Body type cultivation method.
There are two advantages to Dharma Body-type cultivation techniques: first, they can greatly enhance combat power; second, as long as resources are sufficient, the cultivation speed will be very fast, allowing one to pass through the Void Refinement Realm more quickly.
But the problem now is that the Dharmakaya is also divided into different types.
The row on the left represents your natal Dharma body.
After cultivation, the technique will automatically generate a Dharma body that is highly compatible with the cultivator, based on the cultivator's various characteristics.
The advantage is that it has the highest compatibility with oneself, the smoothest cultivation process, and almost no rejection reaction.
The downside is that the upper limit is uncertain, and the lower limit is also uncertain.
The Dharmakaya you generate is strong or weak, it all depends on your luck.
According to the information provided by the Great Dao Library, the combat power of one's natal avatar is related to one's own combat power to a certain extent.
However, there are also some unfortunate individuals who possess formidable combat power but have rather weak innate spiritual bodies.
The row on the right represents the fixed Dharmakaya.
After cultivation, one will obtain a pre-set, fixed Dharma body form.
These Dharma bodies are mostly products passed down through generations by certain major sects and families. After being sculpted and modified by countless generations, they have become close to perfection.
The drawback of this type of Dharma body is that it is difficult for practitioners to fully unleash the power of this Dharma body, and the compatibility rate is usually only 60% to 70%.
But its advantage is that it's strong enough!
Even if it can only unleash 70% of its power, its strength far surpasses that of most innate Dharma bodies.
Jemin looked at the two rows of ancient books, his expression shifting.
Choosing your innate Dharma body involves uncertainty about its upper and lower limits, requiring a gamble.
Choosing a fixed Dharma body guarantees a lower limit, but limits the upper limit.
He struggled with the decision for a long time.
Finally, Jemin reached out and picked up one of the books in the left row.
Jemin realized that he wasn't actually lacking in combat power.
With the corrections from the wizarding system, he actually has enough trump cards: Light Godhood, Annihilation Form, Great Light Phase, and the Black Giant Legion.
Even if his Dharma Body at the Refinement Void Realm is a little weak, he has ways to make up for it using wizarding techniques.
Moreover, given his situation, suitability is even more important.
After all, this is not a world of cultivation, there is no sect to protect it, and no seniors to guide it.
If you choose a fixed Dharma body, and something goes wrong, you won't even have anyone to ask.
Choosing your natal Dharma body will at least prevent you from making a major mistake.
Jieming opened the ancient book in his hand. On the cover were six simple and ancient characters: "The True Body Sutra of My Freedom".
He quickly glanced through it and nodded in satisfaction.
This cultivation method is only average in all aspects among those of the Natal Body category, but it has one major advantage: it requires the fewest elixirs for daily practice.
Other Dharma Body cultivation methods require a small pill every three days and a large pill every five days; just refining these pills can exhaust a person.
The "True Body Sutra of Self-Existence" emphasizes "self-sufficiency, not relying on external things," taking oneself as the foundation and external things as mere aids.
This means he can focus more on cultivation instead of racking his brains over how to modify the pills.
"You're the one."
Jieming closed the ancient book, took it out of the Great Dao Library, and transformed it into a stream of light that entered his brow.
He stood up and walked out of the smelting room.
Outside, the gray-red sky of the Purgatory Sulfur Plane remained unchanged.
In the distance, the black giants were still busy, and the construction of the new incubation pool was nearing completion.
Jemin took a deep breath, feeling the flow of faith among the billions of believers in the incense-burning temple, and feeling the ever-increasing spiritual power within his body, his eyes resolute.
Next, it's time for me to go into seclusion.
