Chapter 468: Three Tribulations
After experiencing the disappearance of the Dao Fruit before, Li Changzhou clearly knew his remaining flaws and would make corrections while reforging each realm.
Guanyin was eagerly anticipating.
As a mortal, Li Changzhou practiced the "Yin Yang Double Snakes" and "Giant Kun," both top-tier visualization skills, rated S-grade;
Achieving immortality, he was deemed a "Supreme Immortal" in the value game, although not the Supreme Immortal of the entire universe, it was still an unparalleled achievement, not the recognition of the Tao Ancestor, but the genuine recognition of the value game, truly an accolade by the Great Dao;
After surpassing mortals, he became an Earth Immortal, a perfected Earth Immortal.
Previously, she had been curious about how much mana Li Changzhou could ultimately bear in the end.
In her estimation, he wouldn't be weaker than the Buddha.
And all these were from Li Changzhou's prior Dao Fruit, which, upon withering, even exhibited the astounding phenomenon of blooming flowers with petals peeling away one by one.
When Guanyin's own Dao Fruit vanished, she saw a willow branch wither, but that branch had only three leaves, as long as two fingers.
Li Changzhou's Dao Flower was the size of an average person's head, with layers upon layers of petals, blooming magnificently.
Now, he would rebuild his foundation on the previous base; what kind of Dao Fruit will it be? How astonishing will it be?
In her daze, Guanyin felt she might have encountered an unprecedented golden opportunity, witnessing the construction of the foundation to sainthood.
Not turning into a Heavenly Immortal, but becoming a Saint!
Yet, an unexpected incident occurred.
The golden seed was planted into Li Changzhou's physical body, but then, the Primordial Divine Body acted on its own, forcing the seed out.
"What?!" Guanyin couldn't believe it, "What happened?"
Li Changzhou's expression also darkened, contemplating a possibility—bones and blood, Dao Fruit, Divine Soul, all were present, but only the black mist was missing.
After the previous battle, he had already believed the black mist to be him, but now, even as his Divine Soul hadn't yet entered, the Primordial Divine Body moved on its own, forcing out his Dao Fruit, leaving him no choice but to doubt again.
At this moment, another unexpected occurrence took place.
The Primordial Divine Body opened its mouth and swallowed the golden seed in one gulp.
Guanyin instinctively wanted to step forward to stop it.
"It's a good thing." Li Changzhou stopped her.
As he doubted, an inexplicable ripple emanated from his physical body. After all, it was his body, and whenever he wanted to know something, the body would convey it to him.
The Primordial Divine Body disappeared, leaving a small tree in its place; although a small tree, it was lush with greenery and leaves.
The small tree began to grow taller, finally settling at a height of one zhang, with dozens of flowers blooming amidst the verdant leaves.
Among them, three were particularly magical, with Li Changzhou, the size of a fist, sitting cross-legged on the flower's pistil, one seizing mountains and seas while cultivating the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique," one with mana soaring to the sky, and the last with 'qi' penetrating the clouds.
On the remaining flowers were various unfamiliar runes, yet upon seeing, it became clear: Controlling God Great Handprint, Shrinking Ground to Inch, Shattering God Roar...
The flowers were extraordinary, emitting bright radiance, but anyone who saw the scene would have their eyes drawn to the tree.
A gentle luminosity surrounded the tree, its roots anchored in the void, absorbing all external energy, with its bark layered like dragon scales.
This tree was the Primordial Divine Body, and those flowers were Li Changzhou's Dao Fruits.
These flowers bloomed on the Primordial Divine Body and would slowly grow, even without Li Changzhou—his Divine Soul—cultivating, until one day, they would surely bear the ultimate Dao Fruits.
"Heaven and earth of the same root, all laws spring from the same source, this is the true ability of the Primordial Divine Body!" Guanyin was at a loss for words.
The sight before her indicated that Li Changzhou need do nothing; even in slumber, given enough time, upon awakening, he would be a Saint!
Not only would the physical body become saintly, but mana and 'qi' would also reach the saint realm; "Eight-Nine Mysterious Technique," Controlling God Great Handprint, Shrinking Ground to Inch, Shattering God Roar, and other divine skills would all grow to the corresponding realm.
Guanyin suddenly sighed: "The Primordial Faith Golden Body created by the Buddha, in the end, is still a forcibly pieced imitation."
Seeing Li Changzhou's genuine Primordial Divine Body, she realized the might and fearsome nature of such a constitution.
In cultivation, it was inherently a saintly body; merely time was required to become a Saint.
What is a Saint?
In the Prehistoric era, the Primordial times, and perhaps countless other unknown epochs, all were the experimental fields for this Saint, the Tao Ancestor, where innumerable peerless heroes and geniuses of past, present, and future rolled in the palms of the Saints.
What is a Saint?
For a Saint whose body had turned into a library, the aftershocks of a strike from two Saints destroyed several dozen star systems, and upon landing on a planet, the remnants formed countless Great Power.
What is a Saint?
With a single thought of the Divine Will, mortals are transformed into Heavenly Immortals.
This was just an embodiment of the Primordial Divine Body in cultivation, what divine capabilities would it have in battle and in other areas?
Guanyin's thoughts flew.
Looking at the Primordial Divine Body... or perhaps call it the Primordial Divine Tree, before him, Li Changzhou recalled the S-grade skill "Saint Master," where when the ultimate form manifested, it was likewise a tree, bearing three thousand fruits.
Whose skill was that created by?
What kind of attempt was being made?
Guanyin was the first to regain composure: "What are you standing there for, quickly merge with the physical body!"
She herself wanted to try it!
But once Li Changzhou's Divine Soul merged with the body, she would feel it too.
Now, she didn't even want to reincarnate, just like the feeling before an exam when suddenly granted access to the reference answers, who wouldn't wish to study them a bit longer?
Li Changzhou didn't move, he pondered: "Where did the black mist go?"
Guanyin looked at him in astonishment.
Her expression was somewhat odd, prompting Li Changzhou to ask: "What's wrong?"
