Chapter 14: The Undying Body of the Sacrificial Dao
Li Tianwei had no idea that his Dao Embryo, because of the modified Fission Qi-Guiding Method he had created, was now absorbing a massive amount of concentrated, fission-born spiritual energy.
Under its influence, it was filled with a destructive aura, yet due to the effects of the healing sacred medicines, it was also continuously regenerating.
Thus, at this moment, his Dao Embryo existed in a state between destruction and recovery.
Li Tianwei did not care about such details.
Without hesitation, he chose to proceed with the flushing process.
With his spiritual energy guiding the flow, he had already decided to go all the way—to step onto the path of cultivation in one move.
“Come! Let me see what kind of Dao Body my Dao Embryo will transform into.”
Very soon, under his control, the spiritual energy surged toward the Dao Embryo.
Boom! Crack! …
At the instant Li Tianwei’s spiritual energy touched the Dao Embryo, the Five-Elemental Vision that had appeared outside abruptly halted.
In its place, the wind and clouds began to rage and shift violently.
In an instant, day turned into night.
Dark clouds rolled in; lightning flashed and thunder roared.
It seemed that even Heaven and Earth themselves feared the birth of some unknown existence.
“Heaven’s Jealousy?”
Outside, Bai Muxu, who had been concealing the Five-Elemental Vision, frowned deeply upon witnessing this sight.
“It seems my disciple is not so simple after all,” Bai Muxu could not help but sigh with emotion.
The scene of the sun being obscured by dark clouds came quickly—and faded just as swiftly.
Before the Sword Monument at Heaven’s Gate Peak, Li Tianwei completed the first step of becoming an immortal cultivator: guiding spiritual energy into his body and awakening his Dao Embryo.
The Dao Embryo, which radiated a destructive aura, strangely obeyed Li Tianwei’s will.
In an instant, it slowly dissolved, transforming into countless strands of Dao Rhyme that merged into every part of his body.
From that moment, the Dao Embryo began to transform into a Dao Body—the very breath of one’s rebirth.
With it, through the Hundred-Day Foundation, one could forge a Dao Foundation far more robust than that of ordinary cultivators.
Li Tianwei could feel the Dao Embryo merging into every inch of his body.
Within that faint trace of destruction, there was also an abundant vitality—like the exhilarating coolness of ice cream on a scorching summer day.
Meanwhile, he failed to notice that the cracked skin on his body was slowly being covered by strange, ominous markings.
“What kind of Dao Body have I formed?”
Just as Li Tianwei pondered that thought, a wisp of information suddenly flooded into his consciousness from the depths of his mind.
“The Undying Body of the Sacrificial Dao.”
Li Tianwei muttered these words softly, feeling the faint, destructive aura emanating from his body.
Because of the Fission Qi drawn into him, the five-colored spiritual energy within him was constantly increasing.
In the unseen depths of fate, Li Tianwei came to understand the abilities of this Undying Body of the Sacrificial Dao.
For example, the Pure Yang Root could form the Pure Yang Sacred Body, allowing one’s techniques to carry the power of pure yang—capable of suppressing evil and dispelling disasters, like the blazing sun high above.
As for his Undying Body of the Sacrificial Dao, just as its name implied, it possessed the power of undying endurance.
A severe injury that would cripple another could heal within an hour for him.
Even if he hovered on the brink of death, he would retain a sliver of breath, enough to recover.
Moreover, this Undying Body could unleash doubled power when using powerful, uncontrollable spells that drew upon one’s latent potential—without damaging the source of one’s life force.
On one hand, he could recover from grievous wounds and survive the brink of death.
On the other, he could double his strength when unleashing potential—this was simply the perfect physique for going berserk.
“Hahahaha! As expected of me! To have transformed such a powerful Dao Body from my Dao Embryo—those narrow-minded fools could never see my true brilliance!”
Feeling the might of the Undying Body of the Sacrificial Dao, Li Tianwei could not help but sigh in admiration.
【I’m tired. Just destroy the world already! Whatever you want to do next, go ahead!】
At that moment, within Li Tianwei’s consciousness, the System had personally witnessed all of his ridiculous actions and was completely dumbfounded.
As a System, it had a thorough understanding of its host.
This man was, without a doubt, someone with a False Spiritual Root.
Even with his absurd methods—talking about nuclear fission and mass equations—the instability of such spiritual energy should have been impossible for a False Spiritual Root to withstand.
Yet, because of that fake Heavenly Root he possessed, he had caught the attention of a powerful figure and obtained numerous spiritual and sacred medicines.
By taking them, he had barely compensated for his flaws.
One coincidence after another—against all odds—had actually led him to succeed.
Otherwise, with his aptitude, it would have taken him several months just to reach the Qi Refinement Realm, let alone talk about the Hundred-Day Foundation.
What was even more terrifying was that, due to the nature of the fission spiritual energy combined with the healing power of the medicines, Li Tianwei had even formed the Undying Body of the Sacrificial Dao from his Dao Embryo.
Even for the System itself, such a physique was nearly impossible to obtain.
Only by acquiring immense world-level authority could it be given as a reward through a mission or other means—and that was only possible if Li Tianwei eventually saved this world.
At this point, the System even began to suspect that Li Tianwei was under the blessing of an unimaginable fortune.
Yet, no matter how deeply it scanned, everything about him appeared completely normal.
Having reached this point, the System was utterly helpless—and completely convinced of Li Tianwei’s absurdity.
As for Li Tianwei, he had no idea what the System was thinking.
He had already blocked it long ago.
As for how he knew about the “block” function—well, novels always had it that way.
Feeling the power of the Undying Body of the Sacrificial Dao, and now having truly stepped onto the path of cultivation—attaining the Qi Refinement Realm—
“Next comes the Hundred-Day Foundation.”
Having successfully embarked on the immortal path, Li Tianwei had not forgotten the Heaven-Origin Dao Foundation Method’s instruction regarding the Hundred-Day Foundation.
No matter what, in Li Tianwei’s eyes, with his Heavenly Root aptitude, he must complete the Hundred-Day Foundation.
Otherwise, he would be one level shorter than others—how could that be fitting for a main character!
With that thought, Li Tianwei no longer hesitated and continued to perform his Fission Qi-Guiding Method.
As a result, the Five-Elemental Vision appeared once again above Heaven’s Gate Peak—this time, far more intense than before.
The primary reason was simple—Li Tianwei had already entered Qi Refinement, and his surging spiritual energy flooded outward uncontrollably.
Under Li Tianwei’s guidance, the spiritual energy collided and interacted according to his control—one became two, two became three, three became… countless.
Just as Li Tianwei believed: so long as there was contact, there was matter—and therefore, atoms existed.
Very soon, the spiritual energy under Li Tianwei’s control continued to flow endlessly into his body.
Over and over, he circulated the Heaven-Origin Dao Foundation Method’s cultivation process.
“It seems you’ve taken in quite an extraordinary disciple.”
At that moment, within the Five-Elemental Vision hovering above Heaven’s Gate Peak, the elders of the Sacred Land of Lingxu, who were concealing the heavenly phenomenon for Li Tianwei, could not help but sigh.
Bai Muxu only gave a gentle nod upon hearing those words.
“A pity he was born in this era.”
Bai Muxu’s words were drawn-out, filled with lament.
After that, silence fell upon the scene.
Bai Muxu slowly lowered his gaze toward Heaven’s Gate Peak below.
Li Tianwei’s aura was continuously rising.
“Qi Refinement, First Layer… Qi Refinement, Second Layer…”
The surging spiritual energy grew increasingly violent, and all kinds of phenomena erupted ceaselessly above Heaven’s Gate Peak.
