Chapter 467: Chapter 92: The Possibility of Being Undying
Six Viscera Dao Body [Lower Seven Chong Gates].
"The stomach corresponds to the Po Gate, the lower opening of Taicang corresponds to the You Gate, the junction of the large and small intestines corresponds to the Lan Gate, and the lower extremity corresponds to the Po Gate. Hence, it is referred to as the Seven Chong Gates."
Li Mo briefly glanced over the Dao Body, its ability being the seamless integration of the Six Viscera Divine Abilities.
Before he could delve deeper into the Dao Body, the Lower Seven Chong Gates actively merged into the Great Wilderness Immortal Body, causing his five viscera and six organs to tremble, prompting a transformation in his flesh.
The Great Wilderness Immortal Body had reached the pinnacle of the Mortal Body stage, now only lacking the Candle Dragon’s primary cultivation technique to achieve Transcendence and Ascension.
The Candle Dragon grew restless, churning violently within the Corpse Mountain Mini World, resulting in floods that inundated the depths of the mountain range.
Plant and Tree Cultivators retreated, alleviating the further spread of the floods.
Roar!!!
The Candle Dragon realized that the cultivation technique it practiced was not genuine. Even if it promoted to the Divine Separation Stage, it could only exert its dominance within the Corpse Mountain Mini World.
Upon descending to reality, it felt as though it could revert to its original form at any moment.
Now, with the Ghost Tiger having stepped onto the cultivation path, while the Great Wilderness Immortal Body stagnated, the Candle Dragon’s mental realm became increasingly unsettled.
The Candle Dragon’s scale armor began falling off, with corpselike spots spreading visibly.
"Tattooed Beasts can experience deviation too?"
Li Mo looked shocked, then began secretly communicating with the Great Wilderness Immortal Body. Gradually, the rampaging Candle Dragon sank to the depths of the river, ceasing its havoc.
"Once the primary cultivation technique has been created, I’ll awaken the Candle Dragon again."
The absence of the Candle Dragon limited the full potential of the Great Wilderness Immortal Body, but letting its uncontrolled rage continue would inevitably ruin the chance for Transcendence.
Having resolved the situation with the Candle Dragon, Li Mo found the Great Wilderness Immortal Body had completely integrated the Lower Seven Chong Gates.
"Uh, what’s going on?"
Li Mo’s expression became bewildered, suddenly feeling an indescribable wave of heat surging toward him, activating the dormant sweat glands beneath his skin.
It wasn’t due to an unexpected change within the Great Sun Sword Tomb.
The Great Sun Sword Tomb was filled with Yang Qi, its perpetual temperature akin to molten lava.
Previously, Li Mo was unaware because the Death Disease had eroded his senses, rendering his perception dulled.
Now, the Lower Seven Chong Gates seemed to be revitalizing his organs.
"The Great Wilderness Immortal Body has such an unexpected function?"
Li Mo didn’t suppress the Great Wilderness Immortal Body and endured the pain while observing the Dao Body’s changes, noticing the heat was seeping slowly into his flesh, blood, and bones through his skin.
The heat wasn’t sufficient to harm his Hundred Refinements physique, but prolonged torment could certainly affect his mental realm.
"It seems the Lower Seven Chong Gates’ effect on the Great Wilderness Immortal Body is not entirely beneficial. If I had known earlier, I might have focused on enhancing the Tattooed Beasts instead..."
"Hmm?"
Li Mo squinted.
According to feedback from Da Ai Mi Tian, the Great Wilderness Immortal Body wasn’t simply reshaping his perception—it was using the high temperature to stimulate certain organs within him.
The sweat glands bore the brunt of it; their mesh-like structure even connected with his Spirit Root.
The pain caused by the high temperature began to dissipate.
Li Mo scrutinized the sweat glands for a long time, suddenly realizing their structure was familiar, resembling the Fire Salamander Beast Body he had fused with in the past.
The Fire Salamander Beast Body was merely a lower-grade Dao Body of a common beast, its ability limited to refining Spiritual Power to resist high temperatures.
However, the Great Wilderness Immortal Body had, imperceptibly, assimilated other beast Dao Bodies, modifying the sweat glands to adapt to the harsh environment of the Great Sun Sword Tomb.
"And it’s a permanent transformation."
"In the future, if I encounter high temperatures again, the sweat glands will allow my body to adapt immediately, without requiring tedious modifications of flesh, blood, and bone."
Li Mo, having spent a prolonged period in the Great Sun Sword Tomb, often suffered minor injuries that required meticulous repairs by Da Ai Mi Tian.
Now, however, it was different—the environment of the Great Sun Sword Tomb was beneficial to him.
He could sense that the heat drawn in with each breath was aiding the refinement of his Buddha Demon Spiritual Power in his five viscera and six organs, typically neglected corners in body refinement.
Li Mo moved his limbs within the courtyard.
The modifications of the Great Wilderness Immortal Body made him feel utterly at ease.
"Does this mean, if I continue adapting to all harsh environments, someday, my body might become truly undying?"
"No, that’s not right."
Li Mo muttered to himself, "For now, the Great Wilderness Immortal Body should have its limits. Its resistance to high temperatures comes from the Fire Salamander Beast Body, indicating that it cannot surpass the essence of Dao Bodies."
"It is only by achieving an Immortal Body that one can genuinely attain undying and indestructible existence."
Li Mo hadn’t anticipated the enormous potential of the Great Wilderness Immortal Body—even after transcending mortality, it would likely rank among the top-tier Immortal Bodies.
"After all, it’s been nourished by hundreds of Dao Bodies. Hahaha."
To further test the Great Wilderness Immortal Body, he summoned over a dozen Lifebound Flying Swords made of metal.
The metal Lifebound Flying Swords possessed sharpness unmatched by ordinary flying swords, their appearance resembling a Golden Armored True Dragon according to Li Mo’s perception.
Clang, clang, clang.
The Lifebound Flying Swords swirled in the air.
Under Li Mo’s control, the flying swords attacked him, their razor-sharp fins slicing his limbs, causing his hands and feet to split open.
Without consciously accessing the Great Wilderness Immortal Body, the wounds healed while revealing distinct Dao Body traits.
"The skin has become more resilient—hmm, it’s somewhat similar to the Mountain Rhino Beast and contains traces of the Bull Demon Power Body as well. Its toughness has clearly improved."
As the flying sword attacks intensified, the Dao Body traits within his skin became increasingly intricate.
After more than half a month, the Great Wilderness Immortal Body ceased further skin modifications.
Li Mo’s skin had doubled its defense against sharp objects, healed wounds 50% faster, and developed slight resistance to metal corrosion.
"The modifications to my limbs have reached the peak of Divine Separation Stage Dao Body standards. It’s unfortunate the Great Wilderness Immortal Body hasn’t transcended mortality—otherwise... perhaps my flesh could attain sanctity."
Li Mo’s breathing became rapid.
In the face of potential catastrophic changes in heaven and earth, a powerful flesh body was critical for him to remain undefeated amidst danger.
He silently threw a sword shuttle embryo into the melting furnace for disassembly.
"I’ll refine it anew. Whether the sword shuttle serves as transportation is secondary—the ship must include a training field simulating harsh environments."
The sword shuttle wasn’t urgent, considering there was still time before the Great Wilderness Immortal Body could transcend mortality.
Even if the Candle Dragon completed its primary cultivation technique, he’d have to wait until the Tattooed Beasts’ cultivation levels balanced out.
"Immortal Bodies, regarded as the reincarnation of exiled immortals in ancient cultivation realms, are indeed incomparable with Dao Bodies."
In the ancient cultivation realms, Dao Bodies were limited by Spirit Roots, whereas Immortal Bodies were entirely products of heavenly creation.
His Twelfth Senior Sister’s Corpse Resolving Immortal Body seemed riddled with flaws—it lacked a soul before ascension. Yet its incorruptible flesh, combined with cultivation levels increasing autonomously over time, was already extraordinary.
If not for catastrophic changes in heaven and earth, when It Corpse awoke from its slumber, it would already have entered the Immortal Realm.
Li Mo’s remaining Dao Bodies were limited to the Great Wilderness Immortal Body, Innate Saint, and Ten Thousand Sword Immortal Bone, though all possessed the potential to transcend mortality.
"Too bad about the Demon Cave—it’s unavoidable. Otherwise, I could simply seclude myself until reaching Divine Separation Stage perfection."
Li Mo looked skyward, spotting a faintly visible Black Wood Gate among the clouds.
If no mistakes occurred, the Black Wood Gate would be the entrance to the Demon Cave, likely fully materializing within half a year.
"I might as well slay some devil pups. Chi Baicheng’s Void Refining Technique is too incomplete—perhaps I can glean inspiration for supplementing the technique from the Ten Thousand Demon Dao."
"Hahaha..."
Li Mo was curious about the situation concerning Great Sun Sword Cultivators and why he needed to personally handle it.
