Inside the brocade box, a jade book quietly rested.

"Ancient Immortal Relics—'Tongming Jade Record'?"

Zhong Shenxiu's spiritual sense issued no warning and even felt that this object was greatly beneficial to him, so he sent a sliver of his divine thought into it.

Boom!

Lofty, vast, as if directly observing the Heavenly Dao!

At the same time, the sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling suddenly arose.

Before his eyes, a wild land materialized, with dragons and tigers wildly dancing, vying for dominance over heaven and earth.

Numerous secret techniques of Dragon Tiger Sect, cultivation techniques... all fused into one crucible.

Endless insights, endless spiritual awareness spontaneously arose.

"The Dharma Body threshold, the body's threshold, the immortalized form, how to control it?"

As if in a divine inquiry, a powerful being hammered countless experiences of Dharma Bodies forcibly into Zhong Shenxiu's sea of consciousness.

This caused his cultivation level to skyrocket, and in hardly any time at all, he was about to reach that threshold.

The double barrier of the body's threshold, the body's immortalization!

"Not good! It's too much!"

"Although this item is beneficial to me and my spiritual sense did not issue a warning, overly rapid enhancement is a great harm!"

"Why is there still a tribulation?!"

As the disaster loomed, Zhong Shenxiu's mind became clearer instead, and he felt a layer of fog lifting.

"Turns out, in my Primordial Spirit Fourth Tribulation, it wasn't merely a tribulation of emotions but also included tribulations of humanity and mind!"

"Heavenly Tribulations are easier to overcome, tribulations of humanity are difficult to defend against, tribulations of the mind are the hardest to withstand!"

"I thought I had passed the Fourth Tribulation, but I had only gotten through half! Now that it's erupting, it can be considered complete... No... Complete now is actually troubling!"

Alas, the course of events had already become difficult to control by mere thoughts.

After realizing this, around Zhong Shenxiu, a layer of dusky and chaotic gray immediately emerged.

Within the chaos, a Dharma Image faintly visible, quickly condensing.

His accumulated power was simply too vast; once he crossed the Fourth Primordial Tribulation, he immediately forged the Dharma Image!

The main body of this Dharma Image was a deep darkness, from which thousand hands and arms stretched out, each palm opening an eye.

Within that profound darkness, the sounds of dragons and tigers roared, transforming into mysterious symbols and patterns, branding upon it.

Mysterious symbols and motifs converged, forming doors and rings, persistently roaming within the dark main body...

And there was more.

As soon as this Dharma Image appeared, it broke free from the chaos and began to autonomously solidify from ethereal to tangible.

Those arms, rings, doors, and dragon-tiger patterns all seemed as if coming to life.

The pale strokes of the human race could hardly depict this unimaginable entity.

Even the five senses of the human race could not accurately capture the exact form of this Dharma Image.

Like a blind person touching an elephant, anyone who came to see it could only perceive one aspect of it.

Thousands of people, thousands of appearances, the Dharma Image indefinite!

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a scream came from the opposite side.

Cui Shanggong, who directly beheld the materializing Dharma Image, had her eyes burst open and her flesh continuously dissolved; she died...

Primordial Spirit Four Tribulations complete, Dharma Image forged, then it began to uncontrollably assault the body's threshold, aiming to forge the Dharma Body!

Yet, a bitter smile surfaced on the corners of Zhong Shenxiu's mouth.

Such a rushed breakthrough, with an unstable foundation and consecutive barrier breaking, would likely be fatal to any ordinary cultivator!

"I... was careless."

"With the Marvelous Scripture for Calming Tribulations in hand, I have always sailed through tribulations smoothly, perhaps underestimating their severity and losing a sense of reverence."

"This time, if it were not for forcibly triggering the tribulations, it wouldn't have been this terrifying! Mixed with both human tribulations and inner demons..."

"I guess this is what they mean by being in a rush to achieve quick success, trapping myself in the process? Ha ha... ha ha..."

Achieving the Dharma Body must inevitably inherit the universe and earth.

At the same time, one must face the incessant pollution of the Heavenly Dao.

In terms of intensity and ferocity... it must be far greater than during the time of the Primordial Spirit!

Around the Dharma Image, within the murky dark gray fog of the Primordial Spirit, a Tai Chi Diagram emerged.

The side representing rampant darkness suddenly began to expand a thousandfold, about to fuse with the Dharma Image and transform into the indefinable chaos of 'demon'!

This type of pollution, even in death, cannot be resolved.

Because it does not originate from an external injury, but rather from within oneself, and even continues incessantly!

Even if Zhong Shenxiu committed suicide immediately and then revived through the Nine Death Rebirth Divine Power, he would still continue to impact the Dharma Body stage without any change to the situation!

"The only lifeline within this tribulation is to embrace the tactic completely, breaking through the Dharma Body directly, and taking full control of the transformation into immortality, not only eradicating the tribulation but also turning the misfortune into a blessing."

"But... an ordinary Primordial Spirit simply couldn't achieve this."

Zhong Shenxiu felt that, along with the transformation of his Primordial Spirit Dharma Image, his body was also gradually transforming.

Even the pollution of his body brought about a transformation of his mind.

His mind had begun to gradually become cruel, wanting to destroy all living beings within a thousand miles...

Increasing his rank forcefully under this mindset was hardly different from seeking death.

The ultimate outcome would inevitably be transforming into a terrifying divine calamity!

"If I transform into a divine calamity, I will undoubtedly be one of the most terrifying kinds, unmanageable even by several Dharma Bodies..."

"I could absolutely bring disaster over a thousand miles, annihilating an entire realm..."

Zhong Shenxiu's thoughts continuously diverged, suddenly focusing on one point: "Heavenly Show System!"

He still held this last resort.

Although, it was also somewhat like trying to extinguish a cartload of wood with a cup of water.

Achieving a Primordial Spirit from nothing needed one hundred thousand Heavenly Show Points.

And he had estimated before that achieving a Dharma Body from nothing would probably need about a million Heavenly Show Points, absolutely a terrifying astronomical figure.

Therefore, he constantly faced tribulations, read scriptures, and tried to promote himself, all to reduce this area of consumption.

[Would you like to use one hundred thousand Heavenly Show Points to transcend this stage and refine the Dharma Body?]

Within the Heavenly Show System, a completely emotionless prompt appeared.

"Damn system, one day I will dismantle you..."

Watching his Heavenly Show Point savings that had not yet reached ten thousand, Zhong Shenxiu silently shook his head.

"Fortunately, I have never placed all my hopes on the system; otherwise, this time I would have been doomed..."

Zhong Shenxiu formed hand seals, activating the 'Ghost Immortal Reincarnation Skill.'

His Primordial Spirit suddenly split in two, one part merging with the flesh and causing the body to mutate even more terrifyingly, with flesh and blood constantly twisting and squirming.

Mysterious symbols of doors and circles, as well as eyes, seemed to be wriggling under the skin, about to burst forth.

Meanwhile, the other portion transformed into a deity three feet above his head!

A deity three feet above one's head, this deity wore the Dragon and Tiger Crown, held a seal in the left hand and a sword in the right, wore a Dao robe, and its features faintly resembled Zhong Shenxiu.

With his own Dao Venerate spirit, he subdued the flesh undergoing transformation into immortality!

The abnormalities on Zhong Shenxiu's body quickly faded, but he sighed deeply, knowing that this method was merely a temporary solution and even then, it was only halfway done.

"Next, I need to find a safe place to suppress my body undergoing transformation, let my True Spirit reincarnate, employ the reincarnation technique, and wait to return to my body, then I could control the body undergoing transformation and break through the Dharma Body..."

Zhong Shenxiu's face was expressionless, and even the madness in his heart had not disappeared, merely solidified, as it were.

With a slight flick of his hand, a tuft of flames appeared out of thin air, incinerating the bloodstains before him into ash.
