Passing through the spatial tunnel, Qin Shi followed Tuoba Kuang back to the Tuoba Sea Palace.
Arriving at the Tuoba Sea Palace, Qin Shi finally understood what it meant to be a frog at the bottom of a well. The Tuoba Sea Palace was grand and magnificent. It was at least the size of three regions of the human world combined. In the deep sea, in a canyon, outside the Sea Palace was a huge bubble. The bubble had a beam of light that connected to the surface of the sea, making the inside of the Sea Palace the same as on land, with day and night alternating and four distinct seasons.
Entering the Sea Palace, Qin Shi discovered that the Sea Palace was like a grand city. It was also divided into many regions. Hundreds of millions of commoners lived here. Rows upon rows of buildings were arranged in an orderly manner. It was very lively. In the center of the Sea Palace was a floating island. The island was surrounded by red diamonds and blue tiles. It was heavily guarded, and in the center was a grand hall. It was even more beautiful than the Sword Sect's Sword Pavilion. There were two words engraved on it: Tuoba.
The center region was the Tuoba Sea Palace's royal family region.
Entering the Tuoba Sea Palace, Tuoba Kuang was not as high and mighty as Qin Shi had imagined. Instead, he was very close to the commoners. Almost all the commoners in the city knew him and were not afraid of him. They greeted him warmly and gave him some local products. They were not precious, but they were very heartwarming. This was very rare among rulers. Seeing this scene, Qin Shi once again firmly believed that he had made the right decision to join the Tuoba Sea Palace.
At night, Tuoba Kuang held a banquet in the Sea Palace to welcome Qin Shi.
The banquet was very lively. Qin Shi also became much closer to the people of the Tuoba Sea Palace.
"Little Qin Shi, you're amazing this time. The three Long family gave you three cultivation spots in the Sea Source Pool were precious spots that countless sea palaces fought over. Unlike me, these three prodigal sons, who didn't seek to improve at all. Sigh … if these three had half of your ambition, I would be satisfied. I wouldn't have to use the Tuoba Sea Palace's name to swindle people everywhere I go," said Tuoba Kuang helplessly.
"That's right, Big Brother. With that quota, I'll have to rely on you to take care of me in the future." Tuoba Li didn't seem to care about what Tuoba Kuang said about him as he chuckled.
With a faint smile, Qin Shi suddenly stood up and handed the ticket to Tuoba Li. "This ticket is for you."
"What?
What? What?
Big Brother, what did you say? "Tuoba Li stood up in shock.
In the Multitude of Seas Palace, this ticket was even more alluring than the Domain Immortal Flower!
Tuoba Kuang was slightly stunned. He hesitated for a moment before he said, "Little Qin Shi, you might have misunderstood. I'm not coveting this …"
"Palace Lord, I know that you have good intentions, but this ticket is not very useful to me. I'm indebted to the Tuoba Palace for taking me in. This ticket gives me the opportunity to come into contact with the Three Thousand Sea Palaces. Why don't you let Tuoba Li go? This way, it will be of some help to the Tuoba Palace." Qin Shi smiled faintly. What he said was true. He wasn't interested in the Three Thousand Sea Palaces.
Tuoba Kuang hesitated for a moment before he nodded. "In that case, I won't stand on ceremony with you. This ticket is indeed useful to the Tuoba Palace. In the future, the Tuoba Palace will be your home. As long as you stay here for a day, no one can hurt you."
Qin Shi smiled knowingly. "Thank you, Palace Lord."
"You don't have to stand on ceremony with me. Although the Tuoba Sea Palace isn't as rich as the Three Thousand Sea Palaces, we still have a lot of resources. Let Tuoba Li bring you around for a few days." Tuoba Kuang nodded.
This time, Qin Shi didn't stand on ceremony. He really needed some resources.
Only late into the night did Qin Shi return to the guest room accompanied by Tuoba Li.
After entering the guest room, Qin Shi sat down cross-legged and circulated his qi three times. As the sky darkened, he gently rolled up his sleeves and said, "Evil Demon."
"Little fellow, the Deep Sea Origin Pool is a good opportunity. Are you going to give it to the Tuoba Clan just like that?"
"If I want to go, I'll find another opportunity in the future. I joined the Tuoba Palace because I wanted to relax. The ticket to the Deep Sea Origin Pool is a hot potato, especially since many sea palaces know that it's in my hands. It will definitely cause a fight from all sides. I might as well sell a favor to Tuoba Li and buy some peace of mind."
The Evil Demon nodded inwardly and smiled. "You've indeed grown after so much."
"Humans will always have to improve. Tell me more about forging a demonic body," said Qin Shi with a smile.
"Forging a demonic body …" The Evil Demon's expression turned solemn. At this moment, a thick baleful aura spread out from Qin Shi's body and completely enveloped Qin Shi in a separate void. The Evil Demon said, "Forging a demonic body is an extremely difficult matter. In ancient times, there were two methods. One is to give up your current physical body and dantian and place your soul completely in the Demon Soul Flower to possess other fierce demons. This way, it will be much easier, but at the same time, it will be very dangerous. Not to mention the low success rate, even if you succeed, it would be equivalent to giving up all your current cultivation and starting from the most basic Spirit Tempering."
"So, what you want me to do is definitely not this, right?
Tell me about the second method. "
The Evil Demon was taken aback for a moment, then it smiled and nodded. "En, this first method is suitable for the current me. After all, my original cultivation is in the Demon Soul, so I don't need to give up my dantian. However, it doesn't suit you. As for the second method … I've only heard of it before, so I don't have absolute confidence in it. In ancient times, it was said that there were also humans and demons in the same body.
"Dharma body?"
Qin Shi was taken aback. He had read about dharma body forging in the mortal world before. It was an extremely mysterious cultivation method that only people in ancient times would choose to do. As for now, the method of forging dharma bodies had long been lost, and the method was extremely complicated. There were very few people who chose to forge dharma bodies anymore. At most, they would choose to practice dharma body martial arts. For example, the Soul Tempering Dharma Body he forged was a kind of martial art that evolved from dharma bodies. It allowed one's dharma body to possess one's body, but it wasn't a true dharma body.
A true dharma body was a second body that could be used to switch back and forth between the two bodies.
To reach the level of a true dharma body, one had to be extremely powerful. One should know that when fighting with an opponent, one could more than double their original strength.
It was reported that when a true Dharma Body reached a certain level, it could even be split from the original physical body, turning into a real soul with two bodies. If that was the case, it would be completely crushing when fighting against others. After all, in the world of cultivation, it was extremely difficult to fight against two people at the same level.
"Forging the Devil Talisman is actually the same as forging a second dharma body. Of course, it's not completely the same. Forging a second dharma body is only the prerequisite for forging a devil body. After the second dharma body is formed, the devil body is refined in an extremely cruel way. Oh well … this refining method is still too early for you. I'll tell you when the second dharma body is formed."
Hearing this, Qin Shi pondered for a while. He understood why the demon was hesitating. It was obvious that the process of refining a devil body was extremely difficult and painful. Before it was absolutely necessary, the demon did not want to affect Qin Shi's mind. After all these years of cultivation, Qin Shi understood this. As long as one's heart was calm, the world would be peaceful. But once one's heart was in chaos, the world would be in chaos.
Because of this, Qin Shi did not ask any questions. This made the demon very satisfied.
"Tell me, how do I forge a second dharma body?"
"Forging a second dharma body is actually not difficult for you. But before that, you must first strengthen your soul. You must at least reach the level where you can separate your soul from your physical body like the Reverend. Or else, everything else is just empty talk."
"Strengthen my soul?"
Qin Shi was startled. He did not think that forging a dharma body would require a strong soul.
"Of course. To be able to control two dharma bodies at the same time, naturally, you must have a strong soul." The demon said.
Qin Shi nodded inwardly. At this time, the demon said, "You have the Fallen Star Hegemon Body Art. Although it will be difficult for you to completely reach the level of a Reverend, it shouldn't be difficult for you to make your soul leave your body in a short period of time. Two months should be enough."
"Two months?"
Qin Shi couldn't help smiling bitterly. Indeed, he knew the profoundness of the Fallen Star Hegemon Body Art. In the past, it was this martial art that completely broke the status of the Qin family's trash. But … the prerequisite was that he must first master the last two levels of the Fallen Star Hegemon Body Art.
"You don't have to worry about that. That little girl will help you." The demon smiled faintly.
Qin Shi was startled. At first, he did not understand what the demon meant. But a moment later, he felt a warmth from his waist. Ecstasy flashed in his eyes. He stared at the trembling Blazing Book. At this time, the Blazing Book on his waist slowly floated up. Finally, it landed on a desk not far away. Page by page, it flipped through the pages. Finally, it stopped at the center. An extremely faint silhouette jumped out from the book. That familiar face … that beautiful silhouette. It was Qin Shi. How many days had he missed her?
"Yu … Sister Yu?"
Qin Shi's eyes instantly turned red. His voice also choked with emotion.
That's right. That beautiful silhouette. Wasn't it Jade In The Book who had been asleep for several years?
Qin Shi clenched his fists. He looked at that beautiful silhouette. He didn't even dare to stretch out his hand. He was afraid that the slightest touch would shatter this dream.
Jade In The Book's beautiful silhouette was very small. It was only the size of Qin Shi's palm. On the page of the Blazing Book, she smiled at Qin Shi warmly.
"You're awake?" Qin Shi whispered. He was afraid that if he raised his voice, Jade In The Book would shatter.
The appearance of the Jade in the Book was too haggard and thin.
Jade In The Book nodded lightly. She didn't reply to Qin Shi.
"This little girl woke up a few days ago. However, her injuries were very serious. Although the Divine Incubation Fruit protected her spiritual body, it's impossible for her to completely recover without the Ashen Flame Spiritual Recovery Pill. Right now, she can only barely form a spiritual body. She can't speak. However, this is enough to help you cultivate the fourth level of the Fallen Star Hegemon Body Art." The Nefarious Devil sighed and shook his head.
Hearing this, Qin Shi felt as if a boulder was crushing his heart. It was extremely heavy. His fingernails dug into his flesh.
No matter how many times he said it, it was still because of his inadequacy, his weakness … that harmed Jade In The Book.
"Ashen Flame Spiritual Recovery Pill!
It won't be long! "
It's the fourth chapter again. I feel that the speed of the latest updates is quite fast. There are at least ten thousand words every day. However, there are still readers urging me to update. I have to live, and I have things to do in real life. Moreover, I'm also trying to break through the rankings in the hope that more people will read this book.
After reading the comments today, I noticed that many readers were asking for tips. Actually, that's not the case. I said that I would release at least 20 chapters on the first of next month, but there are still people asking for more, so I can only set a requirement. Those who know me well, and those who have been following me for several years, should know that I never ask for tips. Even some good readers don't read my books for a long time after working or going to school, and we still get along well. This has nothing to do with tips. I'm updating my books based on my original foundation, and I've never asked for tips. Indeed, many readers have been following Xiaoqian since she graduated from university. The reason why I'm doing this is purely to repay them for their persistence.
23 chapters a week. This isn't considered fast in the world of online literature, but it's definitely satisfying. I hope that everyone can continue to support me. I'll also do my best to update. Please don't scold me … Although my heart isn't made of glass, I've always believed that you and I are connected by the book. We are friends, best friends.
