Chapter 1199: Chapter 730: Visiting the Seven Holy Lakes

The vast demon lifespan transformed into boundless yellow mist.

Shen Yi’s divine soul wandered within, skillfully extracting strands of golden threads manifested from the protecting Tao power.

Acquiring the origin now is not a difficult task and rarely involves errors.

However, the challenge lies in how to weave these golden threads into transformations that align with the Heavenly Dao Order.

The 21,000 tribulations of demon lifespan quickly turned into twenty-one strands of golden thread suspended within his body.

Shen Yi immersed his heart and mind into the amber orb, carefully inspecting the Dragon Tiger within.

He also glanced at the Arhat Fruit Position sitting cross-legged.

Even though the golden figure was unclear in detail, just sitting there quietly, hands clasped, with four arms naturally extended behind him, it exuded an inexplicable majesty.

“It seems like something is missing.”

While capturing the order origin golden threads, Shen Yi repeatedly comprehended the Spiritual Power Protection Scripture through the interface.

The Third Grade Realm consists of four transformations, and nine times nine is the extreme of transformation.

The current Bodhisattva Fruit Position is only in its embryonic form and still has much potential for evolution.

Shen Yi’s gaze fell upon the empty four hands behind the golden figure.

He gradually realized some things.

Protecting Tao power.

What should be used to protect, and what is the so-called “Tao” being protected?

To complete the transformation, one must probably start with these two points.

Unfortunately, Shen Yi’s understanding of Bodhi Teachings was still too limited, with not much reference direction, forcing him to return to the old path.

He hesitated for a moment and began to manipulate the golden threads, landing them on one of the hands behind the Dharma Aspect.

The golden threads, as if pulled by silver needles, quickly took shape amid the vast demon lifespan’s interpretation.

Its head was bold, and its mane drifted.

Its limbs were strong and powerful, claws like an eagle’s hook, resembling a domineering azure dragon.

At this moment, the dragon was grasped in the palm of the great hand.

Shen Yi did not stop, he drew the golden threads again, weaving them into another hand.

Soon, beside the Azure Dragon, a ferocious Fierce Tiger appeared.

The two struggled together, causing the cross-legged Fruit Position Dharma Aspect to become somewhat unstable.

If this scene fell into the eyes of any orthodox Three Immortals strong, they would surely scoff; both the Dragon Tiger are Spirit Beasts with innate attributes. Such pure heavenly order incorporating protecting Tao power seems too mixed, better to abandon the change and simply integrate the golden threads into the Fruit Position to at least gain tribulation power enhancement.

Yet, Shen Yi remained serious.

The Dragon Tiger came from the former Arhat Fruit Position, and this attribute came from observing the Five Directions Banner.

These were the only things he had touched, so he had to work on them.

“You are all instruments for protecting the Tao, how dare you act rashly.”

Until this moment, Shen Yi finally revealed his astounding idea.

He intended to solve the two problems of “what to use to protect the Tao” and “what Heavenly Dao to protect” at once.

Reopen the earth, water, wind, and fire within, to form a world.

Then use earth, water, wind, and fire as the suppressing device, to protect the world with the world!

Azure Dragon belongs to wind, manifest!

Shen Yi’s heart and mind focused intensely; the dragon woven from golden threads instantly overflowed with golden liquid, enveloping it entirely.

The struggling dragon body began to reshape.

Soon it transformed into a long slender, slightly blunt, quadrilateral-shaped device with an azure dragon coiled on it.

It was clearly a Coiling Dragon Mace!

With another movement of Shen Yi’s heart and mind, the Fierce Tiger on the other side was immediately engulfed by golden brilliance.

Amid the majestic tiger roar, the golden liquid receded like a great stream, leaving only a sharp Vajra Pestle slowly falling into another hand.

“It was indeed right!”

Seeing the two extra weapons in the Bodhisattva Dharma Aspect’s four arms, Shen Yi was overjoyed, even though the transformation hadn’t been fully completed, the substantial cultivation increase confirmed the feasibility of this approach.

He struck while the iron was hot, manipulating the last of the golden threads to weave a third Spirit Beast.

Compared with the Dragon Tiger, which followed him throughout the Fourth Grade Stage, for Xuan Wu and Vermilion Bird, Shen Yi had to work from the Hall Masters he had observed back in the day.

He summoned Wu Jun, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time, carefully observing its true form.

This golden tortoise inherently belonged to water, and after devouring many beings from Southern Hong, although different from the real Xuan Wu, it already had three-tenths of its true form.

As the golden threads fluttered, another fierce creature began to manifest.

Unfortunately, it was woven only halfway.

Shen Yi’s divine soul grabbed but found nothing… the Heavenly Dao Order Origin was exhausted.

His current realm had reached five out of seven, still lacking nine strands of golden threads to truly pass the sixty-six transformations.

“…”

Shen Yi remained silent for a long while, somewhat unfinished, he withdrew his divine soul.

It must be said that as strength increases, exploring the path of cultivation itself becomes a kind of pleasure.

The battle in the Eight Extremes Valley allowed Shen Yi to roughly understand that the combination of the Shenxu Dao Fruit and the Guardian Fruit Position enabled him to suppress cultivators of the same realm.

Now, with the addition of two Guardian Divine Weapons, and the support of the Demon Slaying Order, even if he encounters those who have truly completed the sixty-six transformations, he has the confidence to confront them.

It’s also time to set out.

…

Great Nan Continent, Seven Saint Marsh.

Also a place filled with vast waters, this area is many times larger than Hongze, as can be discerned from the name alone, the complexity of power here is deeply rooted and exceedingly intricate.

But that was all in the past.

Since the three Great Demons returned from the Barbaric lands and inadvertently took a liking to this place, there have been no more native presences in this Great Marsh, all turning into nourishment for nurturing water spirits.
