Chapter 204: The 4th Life: The Pure Immortal Embryo, The Army at the City Gates!
The path of Gu Dao is not tolerated by heaven and earth.
Under the influence of the Heavenly Dao Will.
Just as Lu Yuan's flesh and blood were mutating, about to be twisted and assimilated into the Parasite Insect Race.
He took a deep breath and immediately activated the Heavenly Concealment Immortal Gu.
This Gu was at the Seventh Transformation. Although it didn't enhance combat power, it could obscure heavenly secrets.
"Buzz!"
A ripple spread out centered on him, expanding rapidly in all directions, quickly enveloping the entire cave residence.
A peculiar force spread through the void, causing the boundaries of heaven and earth to become increasingly blurred.
Before long.
This place became its own world, completely isolated from the outside, with even the Heavenly Dao Will unable to interfere at all.
The influence of the Heavenly Dao Will on Lu Yuan grew weaker and weaker, eventually disappearing into nothing, able to threaten him no longer.
And Lu Yuan's mutated flesh and body finally returned to normal.
"The Supreme Immortal Embryo Gu has changed too."
Lu Yuan observed his Dantian inwardly, and was quite surprised.
Crisis and risk coexist.
This breakthrough was extremely dangerous, with even a slight mishap potentially causing him to be assimilated into a grotesque monster by the Heavenly Dao of this world.
But as a benefit.
After the Heavenly Dao Will retreated, the Law Dao Mark it left behind remained within his Immortal Embryo forever.
This made the law patterns on the surface of the Immortal Embryo increasingly complex and profound, exuding an infinite Dao charm.
The Immortal Embryo appeared flawless and clean.
Exuding an aura of eternal immortality, transcending countless tribulations yet remaining unextinguished!
This is why Tribulation Crossing True Monarchs both love and hate the calamitous tribulations.
Because, although such tribulations are perilous and terrifying, with a slim chance of survival.
Every time they successfully cross a tribulation, Tribulation Crossing True Monarchs can imprint some law fragments onto their own flesh and divine soul through the power of the celestial tribulation, greatly enhancing their own cultivation.
The more law fragments a Tribulation Crossing True Monarch masters, the easier it becomes to approach the Great Dao Laws, and the next celestial tribulation's power will become even stronger.
Conversely.
The greater the power of the celestial tribulation, the more law Dao Marks a Tribulation Crossing True Monarch can master.
In this cyclical process, after undergoing ninety-nine cycles of heavenly and earthly calamities.
One can successfully step into the next realm, Harmonization Dao!
A Harmonization Cultivator has completely mastered a Law Origin, and their cultivation power is so terrifying, they can stand on equal footing with heaven and earth.
Such terrifying existences consider three thousand years as a spring and three thousand years as an autumn, living for hundreds of thousands of years.
With a mere thought, they can change heaven and earth, replace Great Dao Laws, and become dominators of all beings.
Thus, Harmonization Cultivators are also known as Celestial Monarchs!
However, in this Parasitic Cultivation World, a Divinity Transformation Great Power is already nearing maturity and can be harvested.
Whereas Tribulation Crossing True Monarchs are more like those going against the heavens, seizing that sliver of vitality from the hands of the Heavenly Dao Will amidst slim chances of survival, forcibly lingering in the world.
As for Harmonization Celestial Monarchs, they are even fewer. Those who survive are almost all ancient relics, hiding in some forbidden lands, barely clinging to life.
Now having achieved Tribulation Crossing True Monarch, relying on his heaven-defying comprehension and the power of the Supreme Immortal Embryo Gu, Lu Yuan can easily dominate not just the vast Southern Domain, but even the entire Spirit Realm!
...
Just as Lu Yuan was secluded in his cave residence, diligently cultivating to consolidate his Tribulation Crossing cultivation.
The outside world was stirred into an uproar.
Cyan Grass Mountain.
This obscure, small, downstream sect had now become a supreme holy land in the Southern Domain, all because of Lu Yuan.
After all, at the North Cold Sect celebration back then.
Lu Yuan single-handedly extinguished three top forces and killed six Divinity Transformation Great Powers!
Such ruthless strength and achievements were indeed too shocking to hear.
When this news reached the various major forces of the Southern Domain, countless Nascent Soul Sect Leaders and Supreme Elders came visiting with heavy gifts, just to get acquainted with Lu Yuan.
However, shortly after Lu Yuan returned, he immediately announced his seclusion and disappeared for a full five years.
Although five years are but a flick of a finger to cultivators.
In the turbulent tides of the Southern Domain, these five years were enough to change many things!
Medicine Buddha Sect.
Inside the Sect Hall.
A haughty-looking Divinity Transformation Strong Person, clad in a Cloud Celestial Immortal Robe, was at this moment reversing the roles and occupying the main seat.
Yet, the three Peak Masters and Sect Leader Huiming himself had no objections, smiling warmly with a very enthusiastic attitude instead.
"Elder Ning, please have some tea. This Bodhi Tea was personally planted by the founder of our Medicine Buddha Sect. It can not only enhance a cultivator's aptitude, but also offers a chance to enter a state of sudden enlightenment!"
Though Sect Leader Huiming was a Divinity Transformation Great Power, he busily served tea for the elder, attending to him diligently.
Because this elder, aside from being a Peak of Divinity Transformation Strong Person, held an extremely exalted status too.
He was one of the nine Supreme Elders of the Cloud Celestial Immortal Palace!
In the Five Domains of the Spirit Realm, the Central Continent was the most prosperous and rich.
And as the top sect in the Central Continent, the power of the Cloud Celestial Immortal Palace was unfathomable.
Just on the surface.
They possessed over thirty Divinity Transformation Strong Persons and thousands of Nascent Soul Strong Persons.
As for Core Formation and Foundation Establishment Cultivators, they were as numerous as oxen's hair, countless.
The nine Supreme Elders of the Cloud Celestial Immortal Palace, each one had Peak of Divinity Transformation strength, just half a step away from Tribulation Crossing True Monarch!
Moreover.
In the Immortal Palace Ancestral Land of the Cloud Celestial Immortal Palace, two Tribulation Crossing Ancestors were still in slumber!
In face of such a colossal entity, let alone the small Medicine Buddha Sect, even if all forces of the Southern Domain combined, they still wouldn't be enough for the Cloud Celestial Immortal Palace to bother with.
Sect Leader Huiming also sighed in his heart.
The Southern Domain was a remote and barren land, so how could it compare to the Central Continent, a place blessed with outstanding people and abundant resources?
