I Come to Teach You Cultivation-Chapter 199 - 14: Refining Spirit and Returning Void, Perfect Dao Body (2/3)

"Refining Spirit and Returning Void, 'void' signifies nothingness, representing the impermanence and change of the Dao..."

"Whether in body or spirit, only by maintaining a state of 'void' can one encompass all things."

"With the spirit 'void', the heart is pure and sincere, learning as swiftly as a newborn, quickly comprehending and reaching the level of a master."

"With the body 'void', it endures eternally, the body always at its peak, acutely sensitive to changes within and around."

Strolling through the drizzle under gloomy clouds, Li Boyang played with a few small spiders in his hand, muttering to himself.

"If Refining Essence and Qi and Qi Refining and Divinity Transformation belong to the realm of 'having'..."

"Then the essence of Refining Spirit and Returning Void is a process from 'having' to 'void'."

"Yang God is the ultimate of the spiritual 'having', which I achieved four years ago."

"Profound Yellow Qi is the ultimate of Primordial Qi 'having', which I achieved a few months ago."

"But what is the ultimate of the physical 'having'?"

"Is it the formless body of infinite transformations?"

"Or the Vajra Indestructible Immortal Body?"

Thinking this through, Li Boyang glanced at his red skin, a suspicion forming in his mind.

According to Li Boyang's own classification, he is evidently advancing towards the Realm of Refining Spirit and Returning Void.

From having to void, from the tangible to the intangible Dao.

This is a long process, a path never walked by anyone else.

It is upon reaching this realm that Li Boyang realized.

Perhaps his cultivation in the Spiritual Realm has long qualified him to knock on the door of Refining Spirit and Returning Void.

He merely displayed it too casually before, even he failed to notice it.

From fetal stage in the womb, Li Boyang always maintained a state of innocence, able to learn a new language simply by listening.

After his birth, he constructed a complete cultivation system from nothing.

This is enough to show Li Boyang's learning ability has always remained at the infant stage, his ability to receive and learn new things is astonishing.

Even the birth of his Primordial Spirit, and the subsequent manifestation of the Yang God state, is hard to say unrelated.

As for Primordial Qi?

The birth of Profound Yellow Qi explains everything—Heaven and Earth, Profound Yellow, the Great Dao endures.

Comparatively, it is Li Boyang's physical body that truly holds him back.

Let alone the eternal life realm of bodily immortality.

Li Boyang's body in this life hasn't even developed to its peak state.

Even considering the maximum physiological age.

Li Boyang's physical body in this life is only around eight and a half years old, nine years at most in nominal age.

In other words, unless accelerated artificially, Li Boyang is absolutely incapable of entering the Realm of Refining Spirit and Returning Void in the most perfect form.

Of course, Li Boyang does have means for accelerating growth.

Recently he simulated the state of a fetal body through the Prison Soul Tripod, then extracted and converted Life Essence Qi into 'Innate Qi', which is one such means of acceleration.

Moreover, the Thousand Transformations Divine Power from Er Tu, and the Transformation Technique Xuansi Gu is attempting, also have the potential to prematurely mature Li Boyang's physical form. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

However, is that really necessary?

Using Heterodox, or even Demon Path methods to prematurely mature his body, then touch that Refining Spirit and Returning Void realm.

For the current Li Boyang, this is frankly an unworthy endeavor.

At least, the army led by Wuzhiqi does not yet provide such a pressing sense of urgency for Li Boyang.

The Primordial Spirit has already manifested into the Yang God form...

Within, Life Essence Qi has also transformed ninefold into Profound Yellow Qi...

What Li Boyang needs to do next is cultivate the most perfect Dao Body according to his deductions.

When these three become one, then knocking on the door of the Refining Spirit and Returning Void realm will be the moment of true accomplishment.

"It's difficult, but challenges are why it's interesting!"

With a slight curve of his mouth, Li Boyang suddenly gestured with his hand.

Several golden ropes shot from behind him, directly piercing into the river a short distance away.

Boom!

With the sound of the river exploding, a unicorn-like monstrous creature was forcibly pulled up.

"Months have passed, I thought all those brainless gods had been caught by me?"

With a hint of curious gaze.

Li Boyang scrutinized the creature resembling a water buffalo.

No doubt, the only ones daring to ambush Li Boyang at this time and place are the Ghost Gods who escaped from Ghost God Cliff.

"Stop! I came to surrender!"

Seeing himself about to be dragged into Ghost God Cliff by the God-Binding Rope.

The water buffalo-shaped Water God immediately panicked and shouted loudly.

"I heard from the Red Fish that you're short of helpers now, so I specially came to rely on you!"

Upon hearing the Water God mention the name of Red Fish, Li Boyang visibly paused.

"To rely on me? What can you do?"

After a brief contemplation, Li Boyang asked with interest.

With Red Fish, the Water God's protection at Li Family Village, Li Boyang need not worry about the village's safety.

As for the upcoming confrontation with Wuzhiqi?

Leaving aside whether this water buffalo Water God has the ability.

Based on where they come from alone, Li Boyang couldn't trust them with any significant tasks.

"What can I do?"

Completely unexpected that Li Boyang would ask such a question, the Unihorned Water God was once again flustered.

Only now did he realize, Li Boyang is unlike the Huai River Witch from a thousand years ago, without a heart for saving all, freeing from all sufferings.

Fortunately, though flustered, the Unihorned Water God is ultimately an ancient being over a millennium old.

With swift thinking, he quickly found a fitting reason.

"I'm persuaded by the 'Path of Celestial and Human' you spoke of, willing to follow you on the path seeking the 'Path of Celestial and Human'."

Without hesitation, he completely prostrated, bowing fervently.

The Unihorned Water God swore that this inspired bow was the wisest move of his life.

"Hmm..."

Gazing silently at the Unihorned Water God for a long while, Li Boyang ultimately couldn't refuse this unexpected delight.

"I've recently tried crafting some pills, and just so happen to lack a test subject..."

"If you're willing to follow me as a test subject, I might consider temporarily taking you in."

Quickly nodding his head like pounding garlic, the Unihorned Water God enthusiastically displayed a look of joy—after all, this outcome is certainly better than being sealed in Ghost God Cliff.

"Additionally, I'm sure you're aware of the situation in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range lately."

"If you sincerely wish to follow me, there's sure to be various odd jobs you can do."

"These tasks might be somewhat undignified, some even potentially insulting to your divine dignity..."

Not even waiting for Li Boyang to finish, the Unihorned Water God immediately responded.

"Celestial Being, rest assured, as long as you command, be it ascending a mountain of knives or descending into a sea of flames, I, the Unihorned Rhinoceros, won't blink an eye!"
