Chapter 329: The Flawless Human Body, the Theory of Spiritual Immortals (Subscription Request) The light from the bonfire illuminates the entire valley nestled between mountains and water. The air here is fresh, the vegetation is lush, and the pavilions and waterside terraces are built on the undulating rocks, resembling the mountain villages where humans lived in ancient wooden square tables were placed everywhere, and all the seats were occupied. There are about dozens of immortals who have achieved success in cultivation. Their transformed bodies are close to human bodies, but they still have animal heads, fangs, claws and fur. They undoubtedly look like the monsters passed down from ancient times. The rest of the elves, whose cultivation was not as good as those immortals who were two or three hundred years old, mostly appeared in their original forms and were bustling about. When the human breath suddenly appeared, the lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet. The eight immortals at the main table turned their heads to look, only to see four old men and two white-haired young men coming together. "Master Biao, the four young men from the Gao family have come to see you. We wish you good luck and a long life." Old Master Gao spoke respectfully and his loud voice could not hide his joy. When he was young and sickly, his parents often troubled this immortal to help him treat illnesses and exorcise evil spirits. "Are you here? Go find a place to sit, kid." Hu Tianbiao smiled and stroked his beard. His transformed form was a skinny old man with skin as withered as old tree bark. His cloudy eyes revealed a cunning light, and his aura was intimidating without him even being angry when he spoke. It stared at Jiang Mo beside Grandpa Gao with interest. It didn't expect that the other party would actually come to fulfill its spur of the moment invitation. The immortals sitting at the same table with it were all shocked. Although they have lived in the mountains for a long time, they obtain incense and news from the outside world through the humans under their command who have signed a covenant to protect their homes.
The most advanced elves in the entire Greater Khingan Range had all heard of the notorious ‘Chen Qing Xuan Zun’ among humans; Why? Seventy years ago, in the Lesser Khingan Mountains adjacent to their territory, there lived several elves that were nearly 400 years old. Their cultivation was unfathomable, but because their split souls caused trouble in the south, their real bodies were beheaded in their nests. As a result, countless elves were caught up in the vortex of struggle and suffered casualties. You have to know that when the two sides were fighting, the collapsed mountain was more than 10,000 meters high. Those overlord-level creatures didn't even have a chance to escape. They were beaten to death alive, with their tendons and bones pulled out. The resentment caused by this could not be dissipated for a time. Seventy years have passed, and Jiang Mo is now much better than before. The immortals present could clearly sense that he was completely different from other humans. His Qi was extremely pure and clean. With his arrival, even though there was no hostility, the overwhelming sense of oppression made the most powerful immortals feel instinctively uncomfortable. That is a gene running deep in their blood, a natural aversion to humans. The stronger they are, the more disgusted they are. In the ancient times that cannot be traced back, the human race and their well-trained elves fought fiercely for land and survival resources. After the defeat, the elves hid in the mountains and forests, and passed on their hatred and vigilance towards humans from generation to generation in their bloodline. However, the past is the past and the present is the present. Since Jiang Mo was a distinguished guest invited by the host of the birthday banquet, they didn't want to make things difficult for him. Many immortals were trying to suppress the discomfort in their bodies. The human in front of them was too powerful, so powerful that they felt uneasy even though they were in their own territory. "Nice to meet you again, fellow Taoist. How are you?" Hu Tianbiao smiled brightly and glanced at the fox monster beside him. Immediately, some of his tribesmen went to arrange the tables and chairs, and set up a new table next to the main table, inviting Jiang Mo and others to sit down. "It's okay." Jiang Mo smiled and looked straight ahead. Most of the elves in his field of vision were of mediocre level. Only the nine immortals at the main table were worth looking forward to. "Congratulations to you on your 300th birthday. We from the Sanyi Sect have come from afar to prepare this small gift. I hope you will accept it." Lu Jin stepped forward and handed the packaged gifts to Hu Tianbiao's descendants. "You're welcome. If you guys are willing to come, I'm the one who gets the honor." Hu Tianbiao waved his hand casually, what he said was true.
The lifespan of these elves and the time they spend practicing are longer than those of humans, but most of the time, they are helpless when facing certain human freaks. For example, Jiang Mo, who is less than 200 years old, is much stronger than this -year-old monster. At this moment, all the immortals present admired its popularity, as it was able to invite the most powerful practitioner of the time to come and celebrate its birthday. Soon, at twelve o'clock midnight, the birthday banquet officially began. There were toasts, elves playing flutes and music, and people singing and dancing. It was very lively. Day and night rotated, and three days passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, Jiang Moran learned that these immortals who were invited were basically elves from the Greater Khingan Range, and there was not a single one from the Lesser Khingan Range or Changbai Mountains. While discussing Taoism with the immortals, Jiang Mo also confirmed what was said in the ancient books, that is, the cultivation of animals basically has a relatively clear path, namely 'spiritual movement' - 'dan formation' - 'transformation'. Agility is the beginning of awakening wisdom. They unconsciously trigger certain skills and acupoints of the body, or mistakenly enter into a strange Qi situation and receive baptism, thus mastering the simple rules of breathing natural Qi, and then swallowing medicinal materials and spring water to continue to strengthen the body. When they reach the Jindan stage, they truly possess the power to store and squander at will. Elves with this level of cultivation are basically not afraid of being hunted by humans. Even if they are in groups, they still have the power to protect themselves and can escape calmly or go on a killing spree. In some remote mountain villages, the elves who had formed elixirs were considered inviolable to the villagers in the old dynasties and were worshipped as gods or land gods. As for 'transfiguration', it is the realm that elves aspire to achieve in their lifetime. It is difficult to achieve without two or three hundred years of accumulation. Moreover, they can transform into other species, not just humans, and there is no limit to the number of times they can transform. But once you start to transform, there is no turning back. You cannot change into any species other than your original form or the species you transform into until you succeed. In any case, you have to go through a transformation of your body and soul and transform into other life forms to make yourself stronger and more complete. Transformation into human is the mainstream. Throughout history, many elves have chosen this path. Over time, as the relevant transformation experience continues to increase, they can also learn from it when encountering problems. If they were to transform into another species, they would undoubtedly be embarking on an unknown path of cultivation alone. They would not know what problems might arise during the cultivation, and the risks and rewards were unknown. Therefore, fewer and fewer elves choose this path. In addition, the most typical completion of a life transformation is "flawless human body", which refers to the immortals, who have completely transformed from beasts into humans, with every inch of flesh and blood, inside and out, and can be called "spiritual immortals". There is no limit to the path to immortality. The cultivation heritage of these animals is not so much broken as it is not even reached by their ancestors. Hu Tianbiao once confessed to Jiang Mo that the most powerful ancestors in their ancestral land were at the third level of spiritual immortal. It represents that they have gone through four different life forms, transforming into humans, beasts, trees, and fossils. Each transformation will make the original body grow unimaginably, but there is still a limit to their lifespan. Eventually, they will sit in their ancestral land and become eternal myths in the world's beliefs and praises, and their great achievements in life will be passed down from generation to generation. Thousands of years later, by the generation of Hu Tianbiao, it seemed a bit difficult for it to even reach the first level of the spiritual immortal realm, and the deadline was approaching, with less than ten years left. That was to say, this birthday banquet was very likely the last time before it could no longer achieve the 'flawless human body'. The other eight immortals on the main table include those of the same clan as it, as well as species from other mountains in the Greater Khingan Range. Without exception, they are all stuck in the 'impeccable human body'. Some have 40 to 50 years to live, while others only have a dozen or so. If they can't make it through this hurdle, they will be buried underground forever. Usually they achieve a complete life transformation, that is, enter the first level of spiritual immortal. According to ancient books circulated within their tribe, their lifespan is generally increased by 80-120 years. The same is true for the second and third levels. As long as they can continue to transform and break through the death calamity time and time again, they can theoretically achieve immortality. This is also the reason why Hu Tianbiao invited Jiang Mo to his birthday party. It doesn't have much time left, and it's not even sure it can rush through. Jiang Mo, the strongest man in the world today, who is known as the 'True Immortal', is undoubtedly its best choice. After a full one hundred and forty to fifty years, Hu Tianbiao learned the approximate age range of Jiang Mo from the younger generations of the Gao family. There were extraordinary people in history who could live to this age, but there was no one who maintained his youthful appearance like him, at least in the history that it knew of. None! It should be noted that there is a huge difference between the bodies of humans and animals, and it is even more difficult for humans, a species that is inherently weak, to achieve immortality; When these elves stumble through the stages of transformation, they will have a lifespan of two to three hundred years. However, no matter how brilliant and talented humans are, after a hundred years, a hundred and fifty years, or at most two hundred years, they will be nothing more than a pile of dry bones. But now Jiang Mo shows no signs of aging at all. The blood and energy of life is as vast as a vast ocean. When Hu Tianbiao first met Gao Lian in his body, he concluded that this man could definitely live for more than 300 years! How terrifying. How unique. Hu Tianbiao even felt that if this person came from a race of mountain spirits, his achievements might not be inferior to those of his ancestors who were at the third level of spiritual immortals.
Because of the coincidence last time, the old fox had his subsequent plan. It invited Jiang Mo to the north under the pretext of a birthday banquet. It originally intended to discuss cultivation with Jiang Mo to see if it could gain some inspiration from the human cultivation methods, and thus hopefully achieve 'flawless human body'. "Then your Northeast, the three major mountain ranges today, add up to an area of 600,000 to 700,000 square kilometers, there is not even one spiritual immortal?" Jiang Mo's question made Hu Tianbiao smile bitterly, and he didn't know where to start. A fat old man nearby answered for it: "In the past, those people in the Suzhen Mansion were the most promising. They had almost made it through. Moreover, in terms of experience in transformation, they were the best at it. But later, that third one got unlucky and offended you, and was killed." "After they died, the elves in the Lesser Khingan Mountains were almost cut off and could not cultivate to their level." "A few decades ago, there was a man in Changbai Mountain." Halfway through his words, another immortal corrected him: "No, that's not right. I remember there were two." "Hmm? Then why don't you seek their help? Logically speaking, they have had similar experiences and it would be of some help to you." Jiang Mo was a little puzzled, and vaguely guessed that there were interests involved behind this. After all, the cultivation of animals is based on the law of the jungle where the fittest survive. If the two immortals help these immortals overcome difficulties, they will undoubtedly add extra potential opponents to themselves. “We have looked for it.” A one-eyed immortal with a short stature and skin as hard as rock with tiny bumps and spots on his body said with a gloomy look: "The conditions they proposed are so excessive and shocking that we cannot accept them." "The gap between a spirit immortal and a human form is so huge that it makes us despair. The fact that we are lucky enough to come back alive is already a sign of mercy from the other party." "Of course, they are also concerned about our race, which has a spiritual fairy in their ancestors. They cannot determine whether our ancestors have left any backup plans, so they dare not take the risk." (End of this chapter)
