I'm in Shrouding the Heavens Practicing Eternal Life

“Saint Spirit Divine Form?”

The female Saint Spirit, Yao Yao, thought for a moment and said, “I have comprehended the Yin-Yang Divine Form based on your laws. If you want to comprehend the Saint Spirit Divine Form, you can use my Heaven and Earth Stone Womb to nurture it.”

Every Saint Spirit lives within a stone womb before birth. The stone womb has nine apertures that can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon. The stone womb is like a small world, favored by the Great Heaven and Earth.

Luo Mo demonstrated his laws from the Transformation Dragon Secret Realm. Although the scriptures were still mainly based on Taiyin and Sun, they incorporated the profound meanings of the Divine Silkworm Ancient Emperor Scripture, the Taihuang Scripture, the Demon Emperor Scripture, the Great Transformation Technique, and the Great Dragon Manifestation Technique. He displayed his divine forms, transforming into a Kun Peng, then a True Dragon, and finally a Qilin.

Having witnessed such laws, the female Saint Spirit, Yao Yao, couldn't help but sigh, “There is actually such a wonderful law in the world.”

She had always listened to the predecessors of the Yao Guang Holy Land explaining scriptures, and her knowledge was naturally rich, but after meeting Luo Mo, she felt that she was always shallow. It turned out that there were such profound methods in this world. Compared to this kind of law, even the Transformation Dragon Dao principles bestowed by heaven and earth seemed to be nothing more than that.

After the Transformation Dragon Scripture, Luo Mo also displayed his rudimentary Four Extremes Scripture. If one were to talk about it, the Great Azure Firmament Art contained within the Four Extremes Scripture represented the heavens. For a peculiar species like the Saint Spirit, the Great Azure Firmament Art was probably the most wonderful technique that directly pointed to their origin.

Although the scripture was rudimentary, not even really a draft, it was pieced together by Luo Mo based on Taiyin and Sun, incorporating the profound meanings of other scriptures and the Three Thousand Great Daos.

However, this kind of nascent form, a draft that had not yet become its own system, a road being pioneered, was particularly valuable for reference to the female Saint Spirit, Yao Yao.

“Sea of Wheels, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, Transformation Dragon… I even want to abandon my own path and change to cultivate your laws for all four secret realms.” The female Saint Spirit had a high level of cultivation and could naturally see the potential of this pioneering path.

However, changing was just a joke. Everyone has their own path, and she can only learn from it and gradually innovate her own laws.

“Since you want to cultivate the Saint Spirit Divine Form, let me help you.” The female Saint Spirit, Yao Yao, waved her hand.

Outside, Luo Mo's body was pulled closer by the suction force emitted by the Nine Aperture Stone Womb, completely sticking to the stone womb. A golden light instantly submerged into the stone womb.

At the same time, Luo Mo's entire body and pores were flowing with essence, which was absorbed by the Nine Aperture Stone Womb.

Gu Manlu:?

She saw Luo Mo wither away, his entire essence, energy, and spirit absorbed by the Nine Aperture Stone Womb, leaving only a trace of vitality to maintain his physical body, like a bean of light flickering in his heart.

Entered… entered?

Did the essence, energy, and spirit of the entire person enter the Nine Aperture Stone Womb?

Does the Source Heavenly Master have this kind of secret technique?

Isn't this able to directly communicate face-to-face with the Saint Spirit in the stone womb?

Gu Manlu was very shocked, but Luo Mo was invited by their Yaochi Holy Land to check the condition of the Nine Aperture Stone Womb. Now that his essence, energy, and spirit had poured in, leaving only a trace of vitality to maintain his physical body, they couldn't just watch. They brought over the Yaochi Holy Water from the water source, using the divine essence in the water to nourish Luo Mo's body, allowing him to cast Source Arts with peace of mind.

… …

“My Saint Spirit race's stone womb is born with nine apertures, the nine apertures connect to the heavens, corresponding to the celestial phenomena above and the geography below… skillfully seizing creation, gradually filling emptiness, spiritual thoughts combing the Dao, gradually purifying turbidity, using gold as the pulse…”

The female Saint Spirit, Yao Yao, unreservedly spoke about her Dao as a member of the Saint Spirit race, explaining her growth.

Having a Saint Spirit who is close to completion explain is undoubtedly the best material for cultivating the Saint Spirit Divine Form.

In the starry sky within the stone womb, her position was in the center, but at this moment, she had already given up half of it. Opposite her was a illusory human figure, completely composed of essence, energy, and spirit. At the location of the sea of consciousness was a glittering golden core.

Transformed from essence, energy, and spirit, possessing the Sea of Wheels, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, and the Great Dragon of the Human Body.

At this time, the Great Dragon of the Human Body behind Luo Mo flew out, circling around the two of them. The two were located in the center of the stone womb's starry sky, like the Yin and Yang poles.

The Great Dragon of the Human Body constantly spiraled, its body constantly changing, transforming into a True Dragon, a Kun Peng, and a Qilin, before gradually transforming into a Nine Aperture Divine Stone, returning to the spine and merging with Luo Mo.

Then, the golden core vibrated. In the center of this stone womb, the female Saint Spirit, Yao Yao, gave up half of her nurturing ground for Luo Mo to experience the Dao of the Saint Spirit. The Great Transformation Technique operated, and waves of wonderful fluctuations surged out from the golden core. His entire body was adjusting, and the Great Bloodthirst Technique resonated with the Great Soul Technique. From blood qi to soul, they were exuding a peculiar aura from the inside out.

Saint Spirit!

The essence, energy, and spirit incarnation turned into a pure white jade texture. Through the pure white jade texture, one could see a trace of extremely weak immortal light within Luo Mo's body. That was the creation nurtured by the Saint Spirit lineage, extending inward from his limbs and nine apertures, like meridians outlined by immortal light.

There are many types of Saint Spirits. Stone-based Saint Spirits are undoubtedly at the bottom. If Saint Spirits are transformed from divine jade, silver essence, or spiritual copper, their combat power will undoubtedly be stronger.

And the most top-level ones are the Saint Spirits with symbiotic immortal gold. The female Saint Spirit, Yao Yao, is a top-level Saint Spirit with eternal blue gold as a companion.

Using the Great Transformation Technique to transform into a Saint Spirit and borrowing this Heaven and Earth Stone Womb, immortal veins were interwoven within Luo Mo's body, resonating with the White Emperor Golden Emperor Astral Qi.

Is this an immortal gold vein?

Luo Mo made deductions and then discovered that with this immortal vein, he could nurture a symbiotic immortal gold magic treasure belonging to him within his body in tens of thousands of years…

Uh, it doesn't seem necessary. The Saint Spirit time, starting at tens of thousands of years, is really too long. Even if an immortal gold weapon is nurtured, it will still take a longer time to develop and grow.

On the other hand, this Saint Spirit immortal vein, the divine patterns of the Heaven Covering method, and the Five Elements Dao integrated into the Dao Palace Secret Realm can be linked. If this immortal vein can be applied to Luo Mo's rudimentary Dao Palace Secret Realm method, perhaps it will allow cultivators to form different weapons within their bodies in the future.

His golden core rotated, primordial qi descended, and the Three Thousand Great Daos operated. The immortal veins were nourished by primordial qi, and the profound meanings of the Three Thousand Great Daos were integrated, beginning to accelerate their growth.

The immortal veins spread within Luo Mo's body until they touched another existence.

That was the endless divine patterns hidden within Luo Mo's body. Each divine pattern was quenched with the fire of the Three Thousand Great Daos, merging with Luo Mo's physical body and primordial qi. Every gesture was equivalent to blessing the power of a magic treasure.

At this time, the Saint Spirit immortal veins spread within Luo Mo's body, and the divine patterns within Luo Mo's body were touched. Under his control, they connected with the immortal veins. The immortal veins plunged into the divine patterns, using the Dao power nurtured by the immortal veins to nourish the divine patterns.

Layers of light burst forth from the divine patterns. The power provided by the Saint Spirit immortal veins was very weak, but the quality was very high, because it was meant to nurture immortal gold.

But tens of thousands of years is really too long…

The primordial qi changed, constructing a Bagua disc. Luo Mo began to use the Great Bagua Technique to calculate methods to accelerate. If he wanted to shorten the time by tens of thousands of years, then he could only make changes in space, which meant that to collect the primordial qi that could only be accumulated in ten thousand years in a short period of time, he could only exchange it for a vast space.

After some calculations, Luo Mo was silent, because according to this calculation, to nurture a minimum-sized immortal gold weapon within his body in a short period of time, he would also need to turn several secular dynasties into a wasteland of the end of the law, devoid of spiritual energy.

This method… let's just note it down for now.

The female Saint Spirit, Yao Yao, also helped him. She was extremely familiar with the Saint Spirit immortal veins, especially the connection with the divine patterns. She herself had a pagoda of eternal blue gold to nourish her symbiotic weapon with the immortal veins.

The female Saint Spirit, Yao Yao, was very happy, “You have become my kind.”

She subtly adjusted, assisting the immortal veins and divine patterns within Luo Mo's body to connect better. At this time, Luo Mo was already exuding the aura of a Saint Spirit from the inside out. The two shared the stone womb, sharing the same origin, and their divine power interacted without hindrance.

Under the connection of the immortal veins, the divine patterns within Luo Mo's body gradually converged, and a colorful immortal sword slowly condensed. This was the weapon that Luo Mo forged in the Heaven Covering method, but he rarely used it.

“Is this your weapon?”

“That's right.”

“Let me give you a hand.”

The two bodies were almost fused together, exchanging vital energy. The Sacred Spirit Immortal Meridian within Luo Mo's body was like a high-speed network, its light instantly becoming many times brighter. A massive amount of vital energy, sharing the same origin, surged in.

The Divine Pattern Sword vibrated excitedly, a touch of eternal and imperishable blue light slowly growing on its blade.

...

Gu Manlu didn't leave, remaining here to keep watch. This was a Source Earth Master successor, and it concerned the Nine Aperture Divine Stone, so she couldn't be careless.

More than three months later, Luo Mo slowly woke up. Streams of jade-like energy flowed out from the Nine Aperture Stone Embryo, entering Luo Mo's body, replenishing his withered form. He was like a withered tree blossoming with life, and cracking sounds echoed throughout his body.

Clang!

A colorful ray of light finally flew out from the stone embryo, transforming into a Dao Sword. It had various Great Dao patterns imprinted on it, and just a glance could give one a sense of enlightenment.

The Dao Sword vibrated, a blue glow flashing, an aura that Gu Manlu found familiar.

Immortal Gold!

They had previously unearthed a piece of Feathered Azure Gold, so they were very familiar with the aura of Immortal Gold. Seeing this Dao Sword now, that blue light was something only Immortal Gold could possess.

It was just too little, probably only a few grains of Immortal Gold sand were integrated.

As expected, Immortal Gold is hard to find. Even a Source Earth Master successor like Luo Mo, skilled at treasure hunting, only has that little bit of Immortal Gold to use for forging.

"How is the Divine Stone?" Gu Manlu asked after bringing Luo Mo to the side.

"Fine. She's almost fully formed, only a final stretch of the road remains. So, she will often produce unusual movements in the future, but don't worry."

Gu Manlu nodded, then asked again, "You communicated with the Divine Stone for so long this time. What did you two talk about inside?"

"Exchanging Dao techniques, and also trying to get on her good side."

Gu Manlu said unhappily, "This is my Yaochi's Divine Stone, don't—"

She wanted to say, 'Don't try to trick the Divine Stone away like the previous generation of Source Earth Master ancestors did with the Holy Maiden,' but she herself was the Holy Maiden, so she thought about it and didn't say it.

"What, can't I get on Yaochi's good side?" Luo Mo chuckled.

"Smooth talker."

However, Gu Manlu also had other ideas. This was something Yaochi had discussed internally, which was to invite Luo Mo, the Source Earth Master successor, to become an external guardian, just like previous Source Earth Masters.

Of course, not now, but when his cultivation was high enough.

But some people raised objections, which was that when Luo Mo went by the name Fang Han, he had significant friction with the Yaoguang Holy Land—namely, killing the former Holy Son.

This was not easy to handle. Yaochi had always been neutral and didn't want to invite such trouble upon themselves.

"Is there still room for improvement in your relationship with Yaoguang?" Gu Manlu actually wanted to say that if possible, reconciliation would be the best, as they at Yaochi also needed the power of a Source Earth Master successor.

"My relationship with Yaoguang is actually quite good."

Very good!

"The Sacred Body Ye Fan is my classmate, and the current Yaoguang Holy Son and I are even closer than brothers."

This was true.

But Gu Manlu felt that this didn't sound reliable at all. However, the Yaoguang Holy Son did reveal the Taiyin and Sun Emperor Scriptures, and Luo Mo was the first to use these two Emperor Scriptures, so this matter might have some exaggeration, but it was actually true.

"Then why don't you have Yaoguang withdraw the kill order against you?"

"I'm only relatively familiar with those two, after all, they don't have much involvement with the former Yaoguang Holy Son, so it's easier to talk to them. The other Yaoguang elders and grand elders probably still want to grind my bones to ashes."

"Indeed."

The current Yaoguang Holy Son, Jiang Li, volunteered to take the position after the death of the former Holy Son. The Sacred Body Ye Fan came even later. Those two had nothing to do with the former Yaoguang Holy Son, so naturally they wouldn't have the idea of avenging him.

They were all outstanding figures among their peers, so it wasn't impossible to get acquainted.

But the older generation of Yaoguang was hard to say. The Holy Son they had cultivated since childhood was killed, so they definitely couldn't wait to skin Luo Mo alive. Therefore, the kill order was impossible to withdraw. The Holy Son's influence wasn't great enough to ignore the sect's blood feud; only strength could do that.

"Thank you for this time."

"It's just a small matter."

"By the way," Gu Manlu remembered something, "Didn't you once cut out a Dragon-Marked Black Gold Sword in Holy City? Why didn't I see it in your sword just now?"

That was a Dragon-Marked Black Gold Sacred Spirit Sword with naturally interwoven Dao patterns. Luo Mo's weapon was also a sword, so it could be said to be a perfect fit. But just now, his sword only had a very small amount of Eternal Blue Gold, and no Dragon-Marked Black Gold at all, which made Gu Manlu very puzzled.

"Because I aspire to forge a sword with Feathered Azure Gold. Dragon-Marked Black Gold is simply not suitable for me."

"Then you can slowly aspire to it."

The last time they cut out that piece of Feathered Azure Gold, even she, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi, hadn't been able to use it. Yaochi cherished it very much, sealing it with stone skin and placing it at the bottom of the Immortal Pond to nurture it.

Want to covet it?

No way!

"Okay, I'll see you off here. I still have some things to do."

They had already arrived at the entrance of the Yaochi Holy Land. Many female disciples cast their gazes at Luo Mo. Being wanted by Yaoguang and being a Source Earth Master successor, these two identities had long spread his name throughout Yaochi. Everyone knew him.

Although Luo Mo wanted that piece of Feathered Azure Gold, he figured that Yaochi would never take it out for trade, so he could only give up.

"This is Hundred Flowers Divine Brew, brewed by a Yaochi senior with Divine Spring from the Immortal Pond, suitable for Dragon Transformation cultivators."

Gu Manlu took out a jade bottle, very small, containing a few drops of five-colored divine water, very thick, almost crystallized into gems.

Luo Mo shook the bottle, and the few drops of five-colored divine brew inside actually made a tinkling sound, "Just this little bit?"

"How much more do you want? This Hundred Flowers Divine Brew was brewed by a Yaochi senior over a thousand years ago, and Yaochi doesn't have much left."

This is what I use myself, and I've shared some with you!

Luo Mo sensed Gu Manlu's emotions, put away the Hundred Flowers Divine Brew, then put his palms together and slowly rubbed them.

Gu Manlu asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

"Giving you a small gift as a return gift."

Gu Manlu was somewhat expectant, but said, "I don't need it. You've done Yaochi a great favor, this is to thank you."

"Yaochi's is Yaochi's, this is just for you, no one else gets a share."

Luo Mo spread out his hands, and a wooden carving appeared, a Flying Phoenix wooden hairpin, and extremely divine, like a real divine phoenix.

"Qilin Orchid Wood?"

Few people can say they don't like this kind of thing, after all, it's beneficial to cultivation and also has a fragrance buff.

"I saw you were also bidding on Qilin Orchid Wood accessories last time, so I'll give you one."

Gu Manlu also went to the last auction. As the Holy Maiden of a Holy Land, she didn't hide her face. She tried to bid, wanting to win a Qilin Orchid Wood accessory, but the price of this thing was pushed very high, and she didn't win any.

The fragrance of the Qilin Orchid Wood naturally emitted, and many Yaochi disciples were looking for the source of the fragrance, looking at the Flying Phoenix wooden hairpin in Luo Mo's hand with stars in their eyes.

"I'll go first, I haven't prepared gifts for everyone."

Watching Luo Mo leave, Gu Manlu put away the wooden hairpin amidst the Yaochi disciples' and elders' burning gazes, not having the nerve to wear it directly on her head.

"Holy Maiden, are you and that Source Earth Master successor on such good terms?" A female disciple had a strong gossip intent in her eyes.

"Holy Maiden Senior Sister, I don't have any ideas about the Qilin Orchid Wood, but can you please ask him to bring some Qilin Orchid flowers? I'm willing to give however many source stones it takes."

Another female disciple spoke, her eyes full of longing as she looked at the wooden hairpin made of Qilin Orchid Wood.

"Why didn't the Holy Maiden ask him to sit for a while longer? We could also get closer to him!"

Even a Yaochi elder couldn't help but say, "Otherwise, while he hasn't gone far, I'll invite him back to stay a few more days."

That was the trendsetter of the cultivation world, which woman didn't like it?

Gu Manlu was somewhat ashamed and annoyed, "Elder, he has important matters to attend to."

"Alas, then we can only wait for next time."
