I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

The consciousness of the Demon God Flower was born not long after Luo Mo gave it attention to the Wood Emperor Vital Energy, and in its hazy state, it actually chose such a path.

Only a newborn spirit, still in a daze and without any attachment to the present world, would be willing to directly undergo Nirvana, seeking a better future and choosing the best path.

But living beings who have lived for many years, having developed intelligence and retained memories, would be reluctant to abandon this life and directly undergo Nirvana.

Luo Mo felt his jade-like body, as if he were a holy spirit. Even his own divine sense could not discern any difference. Now, this body was naturally in harmony with the Dao, favored by heaven and earth, which was a characteristic of the Holy Spirit lineage.

However, with a thought, blood energy seeped out from the particles of his body, dissolving the jade-like quality and restoring his flesh and blood body. He could actually transform between these two at will.

This was the Dao that countless holy spirits dreamed of, yet he had obtained it unintentionally.

The three thousand Great Daos, such as Chaos, Blood Essence, and Change, as well as the Dao and Dharma of the female holy spirit Yao Yao, and the scriptures of the Divine Silkworm Clan, allowed him to fuse such a path.

Transforming Yin and Yang, transforming Chaos, transforming the Five Elements, transforming into a Holy Spirit…

Luo Mo quietly comprehended this transformation, understanding the path his Heaven-Suppressing Art would take, which was to evolve everything from himself. It was One, and it was All.

It was not a Chaos Body. A Chaos Body was merely capable of containing myriad Daos but could not transform into myriad spirits.

However, if Luo Mo successfully created his own technique in the future and practiced his scripture, he could transform into myriad spirits himself, without any limitations.

He comprehended this miraculous transformation, consolidating his gains.

Several days later, a divine thought came from within the Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda.

"Daoist friend, my Dao Palace Secret Realm is complete and is about to break through."

"Good."

The strength of these mass-produced tools that Luo Mo cultivated was basically enough to undergo tribulation. Because they cultivated the Great Emperor scriptures, and also had various scriptures and secret techniques for them to study, even the holy sons of ordinary sacred grounds did not have such good treatment in terms of knowledge, or rather, it was far inferior.

Luo Mo opened the sealed palace and left the Yao Guang Holy Land directly.

Ye Fan saw him leaving Yao Guang from afar and was about to call out to him, but Luo Mo left in a hurry.

He had been wandering around the Holy City recently, cutting stones, and had cut out some good things. He was planning to ask Luo Mo to help refine pills, as the effect would be greatly enhanced after being refined into pills.

But Luo Mo did not wait for him at all, using extreme speed to leave. After flying to a nearby wasteland, dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, and streaks of lightning surged within.

The world darkened, and black clouds covered an area of dozens of miles. Luo Mo released the tool person who was about to undergo tribulation, letting him go to the side to undergo tribulation. However, before leaving, he released another person.

That was the disciple of the Third Great Bandit, Xu Tianxiong, a big bearded cultivator who had already cultivated to the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm.

Of course, he no longer had a beard now. He was very thin, drained by the Red-Haired Monster. Luo Mo only gave him a fixed amount of Origin every day to maintain his vitality, letting him struggle on his own. Surprisingly, his cultivation had improved a lot.

When he appeared in the Heavenly Tribulation, the Heavenly Tribulation naturally locked onto him as well. But at this time, the Heavenly Tribulation was still planning the power according to the Heavenly Tribulation when breaking through the Four Extremes Secret Realm. As long as he did not resist, he could withstand these few lightning strikes.

But when the tool person left a certain range, Luo Mo immediately stimulated him, allowing him to fully display his cultivation and stimulate the Heavenly Tribulation.

Rumble—

The black clouds suddenly expanded, and after receiving the stimulation of the Dragon Transformation cultivator's aura, they immediately adjusted the difficulty, becoming the Dragon Transformation Heavenly Tribulation.

"What are you doing? Are you courting death?"

Although the big bearded man was captured, he certainly did not want to die. Although he was also a small genius, he was not a heaven's chosen who had undergone tribulation. If the Heavenly Tribulation struck down, there would be no chance of survival.

Luo Mo did not answer him, but took him back, and then confronted the Heavenly Tribulation.

The Heavenly Tribulation of the Dragon Transformation realm descended, and endless lightning and ten thousand zhang of purple light submerged the heaven and earth. That area no longer existed. Everything that met the eye was dazzling. The purple light connected the heaven and earth, and every inch of space was filled with thunder.

The thunder was vast, like a sea of thunder, as if the Milky Way was about to pour down.

"That's more like it!"

The previous thunder tribulations were painless and contained very little vital energy. The efficiency of devouring them was too low. But such a Dragon Transformation Heavenly Tribulation was a great tonic for Luo Mo.

He used the Great Devouring Art to evolve into a Kun Peng, soaring into the sky, reversing and devouring the tribulation clouds, receiving all the purple lightning. The Kun Peng's mouth was like a black hole, devouring everything.

Rumble rumble—

The thunderclouds rioted. Unlike the previous times when there was no reaction after being devoured, they actually began to counterattack. The lightning that was originally going to descend wave after wave actually rolled in the thunderclouds, turning into a thunder dragon as large as a mountain range, swooping down like a pillar of heaven, as if to punish the disrespectful.

Luo Mo infused his mana, and the Kun Peng became even larger, opening its mouth and swallowing the entire thunder dragon into its belly.

Crackle crackle

The thunder dragon was still churning in the Kun Peng's belly. That was a unique world that could decompose, refine, and devour what it swallowed. But this thunder dragon was indeed a bit tricky, unwilling to be refined, emitting electric light, and churning within.

Rumble—

From within the thunderclouds, nine more thunder dragons drilled out, each as thick as a mountain, huge in size, with purple light flashing on their white-hot scales, and their dragon horns like heavenly blades, slashing towards Luo Mo, these nine thunder dragons actually formed a large formation, wanting to obliterate Luo Mo, or rather, the big bearded man under his protection.

The nine dragons fell together, and the Kun Peng transformed by the Great Devouring Art could not swallow them. The thunder dragons turned into white-purple thunder order divine chains, entwining the Kun Peng, wanting to obliterate it.

The dragons were too big to swallow in one gulp.

Moreover, they had formed a formation. Unless they were defeated in one fell swoop, it would be difficult to devour them directly.

But Luo Mo did not use other divine powers to directly shatter the thunder and turn it into vital energy. Instead, he retracted even the Great Devouring Art and summoned a purple pagoda between his palms.

The purple pagoda shone brightly, crystal clear and dazzling, and a scripture seemed to be engraved on the pagoda body.

But that was not a scripture, but Emperor characters. Except for Shi Hao's Immortal Realm Repairing Scripture, which could not be manifested in this world, all the Emperor scriptures Luo Mo had obtained had their Emperor characters engraved on it.

And inside the Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda, even more complete scriptures were engraved. In addition to the Great Emperor scriptures, there were also Sage scriptures. That day, when gambling on stones in the Holy City, he had almost wiped out all the scriptures of the major sects in the Eastern Wilderness, as well as the Sage scriptures he had obtained in Kunlun and the Yu Hua Immortal Valley before.

As soon as the purple pagoda came out, a vague chanting sound echoed in the void. Nourished by so many scriptures and Great Daos, this purple pagoda was almost about to break through the cultivation limit of its master, Luo Mo, and produce a spirit ahead of time.

The thunder was vast, and the nine thunder dragons crashed down, and wisps of electric light turned into Dao principles, entwining the Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda, actually carving traces on the immortal gold pagoda.

Luo Mo and the Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda were sealed in the middle, and the thunder surged, evolving into a small world, and the boundless sea of thunder light submerged him and the Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda.

He did not violently shatter the Heavenly Tribulation and decompose it into vital energy, but chose to sit cross-legged in the void, allowing the divine thunder to temper his body, and using the heavenly punishment to forge the pagoda.

Having just been baptized by the Demon God Flower, he was closer to the Great Dao and easier to perceive Dao traces, similar to the Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda. At this moment, whether it was his physical body or the Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda, changes were taking place.

The Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda, in particular, had undergone a transformation after being inscribed with numerous scriptures and Emperor characters. Luo Mo frequently traced Immortal Realm repair scriptures on it, imbuing it with mystical properties. Now, it was undergoing a baptism in the heavenly tribulation, imprinting itself with the patterns of the heavens and earth.

Heavenly tribulation is both a calamity and a gift from the heavens and earth.

During the tribulation, the lightning contained the most fundamental Dao traces of the world, which would be greatly beneficial to imprint. However, ordinary cultivators couldn't withstand such a gift and were reduced to ashes under the lightning.

Luo Mo's physical body was also being baptized, sensing the Dao traces within the tribulation lightning. This was a Transformation Dragon level heavenly tribulation, and the lightning contained the profound mysteries of the Transformation Dragon Great Dao.

The lightning flowed between Luo Mo's physical body and the Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda, constantly tempering them.

Subsequently, a jade-like, radiant little figure appeared between Luo Mo's eyebrows. This was his divine sense materialized, actively accepting the heavenly tribulation baptism and devouring endless lightning.

The heavenly tribulation grew increasingly intense, wave after wave. The later stages were even more terrifying, shaking Luo Mo's divine sense to the point of almost shattering, but he persevered. He didn't use any divine powers to resist, accepting this violent baptism.

Gradually, a cycle formed between his physical body, magical treasure, and divine sense. Various types of tribulation lightning struck, flowing and constantly tempering them.

Luo Mo's physical body benefited the least because it had been tempered by divine medicine fruits and numerous Three Thousand Great Daos. The heavenly tribulation at this realm had little effect. Instead, the Transformation Dragon Dao traces contained within the heavenly tribulation lightning were more useful.

The radiant little figure was flawless and dazzling. Even the increasingly violent heavenly tribulation couldn't harm it. It had been greatly tempered in the heavenly tribulation.

The Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda underwent the most significant change. Dragon and lightning patterns appeared on its surface, as if naturally formed. This was because the Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda had captured the Dao traces from the heavenly tribulation.

When Luo Mo calculated that the heavenly tribulation was nearing its end, he immediately pulled another person out of the Saint Weapon space, releasing their aura to stimulate the heavenly tribulation.

"Sorry to trouble you, refill please."

Rumble—

The heavenly tribulation raged once more.

After repeated lightning tribulations, the Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda stopped imprinting Dao traces. All the Dao traces that this heavenly tribulation could provide had been imprinted.

After stowing away the Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda, a divine light-filled sword, forged with divine patterns, flew out from Luo Mo's Sea of Wheels.

In the past, Luo Mo had been contemplating what to use to forge a sword, but he hadn't found anything suitable.

The Dragon Pattern Black Gold Saint Spirit Sword was too small.

There was a piece of Phoenix Blood Scarlet Gold in the Fallen Sun Ridge, but he wasn't very satisfied with it either.

He thought the Divine Imprint Purple Gold Pagoda was quite good and didn't need to be reforged.

He still had a piece of Chaos Stone, but was Chaos Stone suitable for forging a sword?

So…

"Since one believes in their own invincibility, what need is there for external objects?"

The Shrouding Heavens method was derived from the evolution of taking one's body as a seed. It was certainly good to fuse various materials with divine patterns formed from one's own blood energy, but the so-called divine materials would eventually run out, while the human body represented infinity.

Since he wanted to be the sole sovereign, he would carry it through to the end.

Boom—

Lightning struck, and the divine pattern sword met it head-on, almost being blasted away, with a small piece breaking off.

Waves of lightning struck, and Luo Mo met them all with the divine pattern sword, allowing it to accept the baptism.

During several heavenly tribulations, the divine pattern sword was constantly damaged. Finally, it disintegrated in a Heavenly Dragon Lightning, transforming into segments of radiant scarlet divine chains.

The little figure of divine sense spat out a mouthful of primordial spirit Dao fire, containing various types of primordial energy, melting each segment of the scarlet divine chains and shaping them into small swords.

Each small sword was individually fused with a type of primordial energy to be reshaped.

Blood Sword, Dragon Sword, Soul Sword… Yin Yang Sword, Five Elements Sword, Poison Sword… Chaos Sword, Celestial Sword, Treasure Light Sword… Life Extinguishing Killing Sword, Heart Demon Curse Sword…

One Dao sword after another was tempered in the primordial spirit Dao fire, and Luo Mo observed this fusion.

Subsequently, he drew down lightning, using the thunder fire to temper the Dao swords, using the heavenly Dao traces contained within to neutralize the two methods, becoming a bridge.

But even so, the Dao swords were constantly exploding. The blood energy cultivated by the Shrouding Heavens method and the primordial energy cultivated by the Eternal Life method did not directly merge.

The Bodhi Seed in his hand heated up, and the Immortal Monk Enlightenment Diagram on it glowed, blessing him with enlightenment.

After obtaining the Devouring Heaven Magic Cover, Luo Mo used the power of this half Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon to erase the hidden Shakyamuni divine sense within the Bodhi Seed. He couldn't rely on himself; even Ye Fan, at the Saint realm in the original story, couldn't pull out this wisp of Shakyamuni's divine sense.

Although this wisp of divine sense was extremely weak, it was also extremely tenacious. Soft and hard approaches were useless. Instead, Ye Fan almost allowed it to revive along with the seed because he watered it with the Heavenly Venerate's Life Spring Divine Liquid.

Therefore, Luo Mo had never revived the Bodhi Seed because he was worried that the wisp of divine sense would grow stronger along with the seed.

Ye Fan couldn't deal with this wisp of divine sense, so he borrowed an Emperor Sword from the Spirit Treasure Heavenly Venerate, using its killing intent to sever it.

Luo Mo had never borrowed the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron because, even though he was a Holy Son, each time he used the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, the Holy Master and several Supreme Elders needed to know. He didn't want them to know about the existence of the Bodhi Seed.

So, until he obtained the Devouring Heaven Magic Cover, he used this Emperor Weapon refined from the Ruthless Great Emperor's skull to grind away Shakyamuni's wisp of divine sense.

The Qilin Seed also appeared in his hand. He had never revived this divine medicine either because he was poor.

After all, divine medicines needed special resources to sprout, such as the Heavenly Venerate's Life Spring Divine Liquid, divine springs, or the Dragon Qi of the Myriad Dragon Nest.

And Luo Mo didn't have any of these for the time being.

He couldn't enlighten the divine medicine until it grew out, so he could only use the seed for now.

Although the seed's effects were already quite good, if they sprouted and grew into divine medicines, the effects would be even stronger.

Bodhi grants enlightenment, Qilin descends with auspiciousness.

Waves of auspicious energy fell onto each Dao sword, producing a fusion agent effect. The two constantly opposing Dao principles were constantly complementing each other, and primordial energy and divine patterns merged.

When the primordial energy and divine patterns completely merged, these Dao swords could be considered forged.

One small sword after another hovered in front of Luo Mo. As he formed hand seals, the small swords moved closer to each other, fusing, about to fuse back into a divine pattern sword.

"Technique transforms into Dao sword, myriad methods return to one!"

Luo Mo constantly formed hand seals, allowing the Dao swords to unite and recast into a divine pattern sword.

Buzz—

The divine pattern sword trembled, transforming into a scarlet long sword, imprinted with layers of patterns: Nine Heavens, Five Elements Divine Light, Underworld World, and so on, some of which looked familiar.

Buzz—

A talisman flew out, resonating with the divine pattern sword. After all, Luo Mo referenced, or rather, copied many methods of condensing talismans in the Returning to One realm when reshaping the divine pattern sword.

Condensing divine patterns into Dao swords and condensing divine powers into talismans were similar. This was Luo Mo's attempt to incorporate the Returning to One realm into the Shrouding Heavens method.

After his talisman was successfully condensed, it was no weaker than an ordinary low-grade Dao artifact.

Now that this divine pattern Dao sword was forged, the power of the Dao sword alone was no weaker than any Shrouding Heavens secret technique he used, not to mention that the divine pattern Dao sword was a weapon, and the master would be even more powerful when wielding it.

After the divine sword split open the heavenly tribulation cloud, it transformed into dozens, turning into streaks of divine patterns that entered his body, engraved on his bones, actually not needing to maintain the sword form.

Subsequently, Luo Mo threw a punch, and the divine patterns on his bones glowed. A fist radiance pierced through the tribulation cloud, soaring into the sky.

Finger, palm, leg – waves of sword light and sword radiance tore the tribulation cloud like cloth, sword energy streaking horizontally with every gesture.
