Chapter 31: Charging the Four Extremes, Forging the "Immortal Fetus

The Four Poles Secret Realm. This is the third realm of the Heaven-Shrouding Method, extremely important and powerful, where a pivotal transformation occurs.

Cultivation at this realm has already departed from the mere physical body; it requires the cultivator to dwell within the void, branding the ruthless Great Dao and comprehending the laws of heaven and earth.

One cultivates not just the self, but the Dao itself!

Once this realm is entered, as long as the head and the Primordial Spirit remain intact, damage to the physical body is of little consequence.

Regrowing severed limbs and reconstructing a broken body becomes effortless, and attacks that are pure and devoid of the profound mysteries of laws find it difficult to truly kill a Four Poles cultivator.

In the ten thousand years since the "passing" of the Azure Emperor, the Great Dao has been hidden and the essence of heaven and earth has faded, making cultivation extremely difficult.

Those in the Four Poles Secret Realm can already be called experts, belonging to the ranks of renowned masters among sacred lands and great clans.

Qin Sheng’s body is currently seventeen years old. To be on the verge of advancing to the Four Poles at this age with a mortal body is undoubtedly astonishing—like a sudden clap of thunder from a clear sky, drawing immense attention.

In fact, ever since Qin Sheng ascended to the Dao Palace at Dragon Pattern Peak last time, causing the Five Qi to soar into the heavens and startling countless people, there have been many watching him within the Yaoguang Sacred Land.

In particular, since Qin Sheng belongs to Dragon Pattern Peak, some of the big figures in the Yaoguang Sacred Land are well aware of the situation surrounding that peak and are very wary of it.

Many great figures want to figure out whether Qin Sheng truly belongs to the Ruthless Lineage or is simply a disciple of Dragon Pattern Peak.

To reach this stage after only two years of entry—is he intending to overturn the heavens?

The Ascension Pool.

This is a precious land within the Yaoguang Sacred Land, where the essence of heaven and earth becomes materialized and the laws of heaven and earth are clearer. The pool water contains a divine power capable of stimulating potential and achieving transformation.

Among Qin Sheng's resources for breaking through the realm was a slot at the Ascension Pool.

Mist drifted within the pool, and immortal flowers bloomed along its edges. Qin Sheng sat cross-legged, quietly adjusting his state.

With the five divine treasuries perfected, he no longer needed to cultivate the Dao Palace; he only awaited the perfect moment to undergo his transformation.

Within the various peaks and ancient halls of the sacred land, many people were watching this place, wanting to see the true caliber of this genius whose name they had heard but whose face they had never seen.

Yaoguang Peak is the most orthodox lineage, belonging to the Holy Lord of the Yaoguang Sacred Land.

However, the current Holy Son hails from Dragon Pattern Peak and belongs to the Ruthless Lineage. Yaoguang Peak only has a Holy Maiden, whose talent and strength are inferior to the Holy Son, which brings about great hidden concerns.

The Ruthless Lineage hides in the shadows, and its erosion of the Yaoguang Sacred Land is incredibly severe. If another Holy Lord from that lineage were to emerge, the entire sacred land might completely change its colors.

The Yaoguang Holy Lord sat within his hall, his gaze piercing through layers of space. His dharma eyes were like torches, taking in everything at the Ascension Pool.

He was majestic, like a radiant god descending to the world, suppressing time and space, his divine light illuminating the ten directions of the heavens.

"Once this Qin Sheng breaks through, find a disciple to test him," the Yaoguang Holy Lord's voice boomed like a supreme divine sound.

"To see if he truly belongs to that lineage, and to gauge his talent. If another peerless genius emerges from that lineage..."

It was not actually a problem if the Ruthless Lineage gained another disciple.

But the talent of this disciple was the crucial factor.

Below him, a middle-aged man nodded. "I believe there is a high probability that something is wrong with him."

"With a mere mortal body, how could he possibly cultivate so quickly?"

"Let the facts speak," the Yaoguang Holy Lord said.

"Very well, I will send Chen Han."

All these disturbances, schemes, and calculations had nothing to do with Qin Sheng at this moment.

At a certain moment, Qin Sheng experienced a sudden flash of intuition, a feeling of "unspoken urgency."

The time had come!

A massive amount of essence from heaven and earth originated within the Ascension Pool, surging in all directions and rushing into the clouds, though they were restrained by Dao patterns to prevent them from dissipating or being wasted.

Qin Sheng swallowed the essence of heaven and earth like a whale. His Primordial Spirit reflected the void, sensing every pattern and chain.

The laws of heaven and earth!

The void fluctuated, emitting a strange attraction that gave one the impulse to merge with it.

Qin Sheng's physique became translucent, shining with divine radiance. His hair flew wildly, emitting fluorescence, and his entire being was as flawless as fine jade.

The massive amount of essence tempered his physical body, initiating his transformation.

His pores expanded, essence flowed, and every inch of flesh, viscera, and bone underwent sanctification.

At this moment, Qin Sheng looked extremely dazzling, like a banished immortal seeking to transcend the sea of bitterness.

Though he possessed a mortal body, his origin had already undergone multiple transformations and was extremely extraordinary.

At this moment, his blood qi surged toward the heavens like a roaring true dragon, a sight so shocking that it startled many observers.

"A mortal body can actually possess such vigorous blood qi? Incredible."

"His foundation is too deep; he is absolutely an unparalleled genius!"

"It feels no less than when the Holy Son broke through. Another young dragon has emerged in our Yaoguang Sacred Land!"

"With such a terrifying aura, is he truly from that lineage?"

"..."

It was currently daytime, with the great sun high in the sky, allowing the Ascension Pool to display its divinity.

Divine essence from the sun was drawn down, cascading onto Qin Sheng, washing his body and leading him toward sanctity.

The vitality of his physique grew increasingly vigorous, his life force like a surging ocean, causing the immortal flowers beside the Ascension Pool to grow continuously, aging a hundred years in an instant.

The fluctuations of his Primordial Spirit were as vast as the blue sky, forming an absolute domain that controlled everything.

The fact that Qin Sheng's Primordial Spirit attainment was also this terrifying shocked people even further.

Compared to magic power and the physical body, the Primordial Spirit is the hardest to improve and the most important.

For someone who had not yet officially broken into the Four Poles to possess a Primordial Spirit so incredibly powerful was truly heart-shaking.

Qin Sheng circulated the *Heaven-Swallowing Demon Technique*, an extreme scripture whose power and wonders were immeasurable to outsiders.

The Four Poles Secret Realm was also a very important node for this ancient scripture.

Many special physiques, including the Sacred Body, reached a stage of minor mastery during the Four Poles Secret Realm, demonstrating the uniqueness of this realm.

As the *Heaven-Swallowing Demon Technique* evolves the Chaos Body, it would also achieve a critical advancement during the promotion to the Four Poles.

One could see Qin Sheng's skin cracking, with a layer of divine substance flowing beneath.

His bones were also constantly shattering and reforming, which looked terrifying, but this was a tremendous benefit that countless people could only envy.

Not only his physical body, but Qin Sheng's Primordial Spirit was also forming a cocoon, falling into a profound state of the Great Dao.

His entire being was transforming, being reborn.

This was a complete shedding of the old self.

Shedding the "mortal flesh" to forge an "immortal Dao body"!

Well, since he practiced the *Heaven-Swallowing Demon Technique*, it should perhaps be called forging the prototype of a "Demon Fetus"...

However, Qin Sheng felt this was a slander against immortal techniques by the world.

There is no such thing as a "Demon Fetus"; it must be an "Immortal Fetus."

Have an objection?

Then go to the Desolate Forbidden Land and find the Ruthless One, and let her tell you exactly what kind of fetus it is.

And then she'll let you be reincarnated!

This transformation was extremely violent, but Qin Sheng's vitality never faded.

He had consumed divine medicines, and before the breakthrough, he had even refined special essence extracted from an Emperor's Dao Field; he was currently at his peak of undying vigor.

"Let the storm come even more fiercely!"

Rumble!

Suddenly, thunder roared in the sky, and dark clouds gathered.

Qin Sheng looked up at the sky. The oppressive aura covered the heavens and the earth, as if the heavens were enraged and intended to destroy the world.

You're actually coming?
