LIBRARY OF HEAVEN'S PATH 2: ETERNAL FATE OF THE HEAVENS

Chapter 418: Chapter 53 Eternal Golden Body

The second layer contains Karma Fire Red Lotus Relics, which allow one to transform their sins into a physical red lotus that burns intensely.

The so-called sins refer to killings and some negative emotions, burning them utterly purifies the soul, thereby making the practice twice as effective with half the effort.

Of course, some negative emotions cannot be eliminated, such as fear, dread, worry… Once one enters the third layer, they are temporarily suppressed by the Destiny Colored Glaze Relics, allowing one to practice without concerns and with more focus.

Sitting cross-legged in the space of the third layer, after practicing for an unknown amount of time, Zhang Xuan slowly rose, feeling his soul becoming purer.

Having experienced the capabilities and effects of the first three layers, and having some free time now, he decided to explore the fourth layer.

A moment later, Zhang Xuan frowned.

The Reincarnation Relic Tower before him appeared to have only three layers. With his abilities and methods, he could not access deeper levels; it seemed as if the fourth layer, and even the subsequent fifth layer, did not exist at all.

“It might be due to not having been forged. The Reincarnation Relic Tower is a Buddhist celestial treasure, and the subsequent six layers involve deeper secrets, inaccessible without forging…”

Frost Demon Lord voiced his speculation.

Some celestial treasures cannot be used without being forged. Zhang Xuan’s ability to enter the first three layers is likely because the owner of the Reincarnation Relic Tower had only opened access to these three layers.

“Why not try to forge it?” Zhang Xuan pondered, his left hand supporting his chin.

Having significantly benefited from the first three levels, if the next six levels could also be unlocked, it might indeed be possible to swiftly advance to Galaxy 9-dan, or even Life Sea Realm, instantly becoming a pinnacle master.

“But once it’s forged, the original owner would definitely become aware… it’s better not to take the risk for now!”

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xuan ultimately dismissed the idea.

Once an artifact recognizes a master, it establishes a unique connection. Any attempt to forge it would undoubtedly alert the other party!

With his current cultivation, it’s preferable to focus quietly on development, unnecessarily provoking suspicions from Blue Cloud Venerable is totally unnecessary.

“Do you not know at all what relics and effects the subsequent layers contain?”

As they exited the Relic Tower, Zhang Xuan asked once more.

The Frost Demon Lord pondered for a moment and then said, “I’ve heard a bit, but I’m not sure!”

“Oh?”

Zhang Xuan curiously looked over.

The Frost Demon Lord said, “Has the master ever heard of the Eternal Golden Body?”

Zhang Xuan wore a puzzled expression, with a big question mark evident in his eyes.

The Frost Demon Lord continued, “The Eternal Golden Body, also known as the ultimate Celestial Saint, represents the most desired and extravagant perfect state that a cultivator aspires to achieve. Once attained, the body will meld with the fragments of the heavens, becoming Indestructible, no longer worrying about the exhaustion of longevity or being surpassed after having your fragments of the heavens taken.”

“This…” After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but ask, “Is this Eternal Golden Body beyond the cultivation of Life Sea Realm? That is… what Blue Cloud Venerable referred to as Bodhisattva Fruit Position?”

Frost Demon Lord shook his head: “Of course not! A realm is a realm, and a golden body is a golden body! There are many who have transcended the Life Sea Realm—not to mention others, the Buddha’s eight Bodhisattvas, and the various Demon Monarchs of the Demon Sect have all achieved this, but alas… none possess the Eternal Golden Body!”

Zhang Xuan was shocked: “It’s that rare?”

Whether it’s the Buddha’s Bodhisattvas or Demon Monarchs, they represent the pinnacle of existence in the Source World, and yet none of them possess the Eternal Golden Body… it seems this is indeed no simple matter.

“The Eternal Golden Body, once achieved, embodies the universe itself, not willing to let even a trace of the fragments of the heavens’ essence leak out, truly pure and untainted! It is a realm coveted by countless cultivators. I myself had once dreamt of it, even going to the lengths of balancing yin and yang for a breakthrough, deliberately making myself androgynous, and you see the result. If I had succeeded, how could the Blue Cloud Venerable have ambushed me!”

Despair tinged the voice of the Frost Demon Lord.

Zhang Xuan was at a loss for words.

The other’s voice was neither masculine nor feminine, fluctuating between both; at first, he thought it was a special preference, but it turned out to be for practicing this so-called Golden Body.

“What does this have to do with the Reincarnation Relic Tower?” Zhang Xuan asked.

“The nine-tiered tower contains nine Buddha bones, each corresponding to the most difficult part to cultivate in the Golden Body, supposedly forged by Buddha himself to assist later generations aiming for the Eternal Golden Body. Of course, that’s just a legend, whether it’s true or not, I’m not sure!”

The Frost Demon Lord shook his head.

“Hmm!”

Zhang Xuan did not continue to ask.

Whether it is the Eternal Golden Body or something else, it was all too distant for him. The urgent priority was to achieve a breakthrough to Life Sea Realm to have the power to defend himself.

After all, whether transformed or not, in the short term he might deceive the Blue Cloud Venerable, but over time, discrepancies would undoubtedly be noticed, and then, he would only have to think of a way to escape.

Feeling contemplative and just about to ask the Frost Demon Lord if there were quicker ways to cultivate, a knock on the door was heard, followed by the voice of Sun Qiang: “Young Master, someone outside is looking for you, they claim to be from the Medicine Sect…”

Zhang Xuan showed a trace of confusion.

Hadn’t Elder Jiang Li said it would be three days before he and Empyrean Kong went over to test pills again? It had only been a few hours; why had someone been sent already?

In the council hall, indeed sat an elder, it was none other than Elder Yao Yun whom he had met before.

Though this elder, in the presence of Elder Jiang Li, casually assigned tasks like a follower, he held a very high status within the entire Medicine Sect. His personal arrival made Zhang Xuan full of curiosity: “I’ve met Elder Yao Yun… How come you’ve come in person?”

Elder Yao Yun flicked his sleeve, his expression indifferent: “Bian Zhongwen was killed on the way back, there is no one else available, so the teacher sent me to fetch you over.”

Zhang Xuan anxiously waved his hands: “His death has nothing to do with me…”

“I know it has nothing to do with you, the teacher wanted you to go for a drug test… don’t worry!” Elder Yao Yun waved his hand dismissively.

Zhang Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief: “Didn’t the elder ask me to come over after three days? Why the change of plans so soon…”

Elder Yao Yun said: “Initially, the Blue Cloud Venerable wanted to forge pills, but he just left without saying anything, the teacher couldn’t wait for him and sent me to call you over…”

Zhang Xuan suddenly understood.

It seems his earlier guess was right; perhaps the Blue Cloud Venerable had intended to use the Frost Demon Lord as a main ingredient and couldn’t proceed with pill forging… To an alchemist maniac like Jiang Li, waiting was too much trouble; thus, he simply sent someone directly.

“Let’s go!”

Soon, Empyrean Kong was also called over, and the two of them followed him out of the courtyard, one following the other.

On the carriage, Zhang Xuan cautiously asked, “Isn’t killing forbidden within the city? How could Lord Bian Zhongwen still be killed?”

He had just severed a causal relationship with the man, and the guy died… Theoretically, a causal relationship is just a tie, without much substantive connection; cutting it shouldn’t lead to death!
