Ancestor Above

Chapter 402



402 Form the Dharma first!

Lu Qing had chosen a certain spot at the bottom of the sea near the East China Sea as the location for his breakthrough. There was only one main reason:

No one would have thought of it.

This place didn’t even have a level-one Spirit Meridian. It wasn’t near the shipping route, there weren’t any resources, and no fishing boats or people would come here.

This area of the sea seemed to be relatively barren. Only some ordinary sea creatures lived in this area. Even the intelligent sea tribes, sea demons, and sea beasts would not run here.

Lu Qing did not choose this place to make a breakthrough on the spur of the moment. In fact, he had been searching for a suitable place to break through since ten years ago. He had been monitoring this place for more than eight years.

Lu Qing only chose to make a breakthrough there after he had confirmed that there was no danger there.

Of course, there would still be some necessary arrangements.

For example, Lu Qing had set up a few formations in the area to ensure safety and to conceal the aura of a breakthrough. His clone would also lurk nearby to protect him when he made a breakthrough.

A Guardian who could be said to be invincible in the Yuanying stage was enough to deal with most unexpected situations. Unless it could kill a Dharma-level opponent, the clone would not be able to fight against it.

However, in this world, the number of Dharma laksana level cultivators could not be counted on two hands, but they were all at least important figures. The probability of finding Lu Qing through the formation after strolling all the way here was too low.

He could guarantee that no one would know that he had come here to break through.

After entering the formation and activating the concealment and protection effects, he took out the materials one by one and began his own breakthrough.

……

The Dharma plane was the last step of the second major stage of the road of cultivation.

Condense power and build a power core in the body to form the Golden core; The transformation of the Aurous core, the integration of essence, Qi, and spirit, the formation of the nascent soul, and the formation of another self; The nascent soul would grow gradually and reach a certain limit. From then on, it would not only provide power within the body but could also be manifested outside. It could even replace the physical body and form a powerful combat force. That was the Dharma form.

From the original infant stage level 1 to the peak of level 9, the process was like a baby growing into an adult. At the first level, he was like a newborn baby. In the middle stage, he would be like a grown child. Although he had grown a lot, he still had his childishness. Late stage or even peak stage Yuanying, if it was released or could be seen by people, then there was almost no difference between them and the cultivator, except that the Yuanying was a body of pure energy and very fragile.

As for the materialization realm, it was a leap in another direction.

The first step Lu Qing had to take was to extract his nascent soul from his dantian and fuse it with his physical body. He would then further Polish and solidify his spirit, true essence, and physical body.

This step was not too dangerous. As long as he was at the peak of the original level and had polished his own cultivation and realm more completely, he would not encounter too many difficulties.

However, this step would be time-consuming. Moreover, this was a step where there was no turning back.

This first step was essentially the preliminary preparation for the formation of the Dharma, and it was irreversible.

Lu Qing spent four months to complete this step.

At this moment, the nascent soul in his dantian had disappeared. His soul, body, and nascent soul, which represented the source of his power, were all mixed together.

In other words, his physical body and nascent soul were no longer different. They were both fused together.

And the next step would start to be risky.

A large amount of spiritual energy from the outside world-in fact, it was provided by the system-was absorbed by his body. This speed was more than ten times that of ordinary cultivation.

In theory, such a huge force was not a big problem in a short time, but if it could last for a long time, even a cultivator at the peak of the Yuanying stage would not be able to withstand it and would explode.

However, there was no problem with Lu Qing’s current state. The complete combination of his nascent soul and physical body had increased his endurance by many times.

This was the initial form of the Dharma power.

Without this kind of endurance, how could a Dharma adept display their indomitable dharma body to fight?

However, as the amount of energy within his body exceeded his limit by many times, the characteristic of an arrow fired from a bow never turning back was once again revealed.

At this point, there was no room for regret in the process of a nascent soul cultivator breaking through to the materialization realm. If he failed, such a huge power would burst out. It was definitely not something that a cultivator could withstand.

In fact, a large number of treasures that could assist in breaking through were helping to do this: It would help the cultivator to better control this power, allowing this power to stay in the body obediently, allowing the cultivator to mobilize it and not cause any trouble.

This step was to continuously absorb power from the outside world. In essence, it was to lay a solid foundation for the transcendence body until it reached a certain baseline.

It was a ‘baseline’, but the standard was very, very high. It was so high that most cultivators couldn’t hold on when they were still far from this baseline.

In fact, this was also the biggest difficulty.

Before reaching the baseline of the formation of the Dharma body, all the nascent soul cultivators who were not prepared enough and had insufficient strength would fail here.

For those who had the means to save their lives, the treasures they prepared were reliable enough, and the depth of their strength training was not high enough, they might be able to use external forces to guide out most of their strength in the event of failure, thus saving their lives. But even so, after such a failure, the body and the nascent soul would suffer irreversible damage.

This would cause cultivators to never have the chance to break through again.

To Lu Qing, this was not a problem.

He didn’t feel much pressure, but as time passed, he felt more and more power being drawn into his body and tempering his unformed dharma body.

Due to the special characteristics of the Scripture of supremacy and the primordial sacred body, Lu Qing’s speed of absorbing energy from the outside world was much faster than that of ordinary cultivators. In addition, the system provided an almost unlimited supply of spiritual energy, so the speed would be even faster.

According to Lu Qing’s various records, especially the information that li Shiwen had gathered when he was preparing to break through to the materialization realm, Lu Qing could see that this step would probably take a year and a month to complete.

But in fact, only three months after he started this step, he had already tempered the rough dharma body to the standard line.

In theory, Lu Qing could start the next step at this moment, which was the final step of forming the Dharma. All the power contained in the Dharma body was unleashed in an orderly and controlled manner. In the end, the rough shape of the Dharma body would become a real dharma body that could support heaven and earth.

Of course, the danger of this step was also very high. Many nascent soul cultivators could only contain so much power in their bodies, and that was the limit. To explode again? A burst that had to be controlled? He really couldn’t control himself.

The remaining half, who were well-prepared, would usually fall at this step.

Lu Qing did not think that he would have this problem. If he was still able to do it with ease when he had reached the baseline, then it would not be too much of a problem to unleash and explode.

However, he had already thought of this before.

If he had a super divine-grade cultivation technique like the ‘Taishang Scripture’ and a super top-grade talent like the ‘primordial sacred body’, which was the fusion of many top-grade spiritual roots and spiritual bodies, he would only have the strength of an ordinary nascent soul cultivator. It would be too embarrassing.

He didn’t plan to burst out and form a Dharmakaya at this time.

Since he still had a lot of energy left, Lu Qing was prepared to take this opportunity to make his magical body more solid. This would definitely be very beneficial for his future.

Therefore, he continued to gather his strength and was prepared to attempt a breakthrough when he felt slightly strained.

Of course, he wouldn’t push himself too far. If he played too much and lost control of himself in the end, it would be a big joke.

……

While Lu Qing was making his Dharma form breakthrough in an isolated place in the East Sea, something happened in the Qi Kingdom in the South.

In the capital of the state of Qi, which was the capital of Ji Province, cui zaiwen, the Minister of the great Qi, left the country on a Flying Horse carriage with an undisguised gloomy face.

The king of the Qi Kingdom, the Kong family, had essentially relied on many aristocratic families to control the Qi Kingdom. Compared with the political situation of the Yan Kingdom, although there were some sects and local cultivation forces in various places, in general, these sects and small forces had to obey the Imperial court of the great Qi Kingdom.

The Imperial court, on the other hand, was controlled by the aristocratic families.

This was similar to the Yan Kingdom during the Li Dynasty.

In the Li Dynasty, other than Yunxiao sect’s great influence, the Imperial court was basically run by Zhao, Zhang, Mo, and the other four families under the Li family’s leadership.

In the state of Qi, the Royal Kong family was almost like the king of the state on paper. The real power was in the major families under them, who almost completely controlled the state affairs.

Among these aristocratic families, the most prominent one was naturally the cui family.

The most important factor was that they had a fa Xiang in their family.

Ten years ago, cui Qing died on the front line of Wei State. This was a bolt out of the blue for Qi state and the cui family.

Cui zaiwen was the clan head of cui clan and the spokesperson of cui Qing. After cui Qing’s death 10 years ago, he had become the real power-holder of cui clan.

In the past ten years, he had exhausted all his efforts to maintain the authority of the cui family in Qi. Although it was not as powerful as before, under his leadership, it was still the largest aristocratic family in Qi state.

Most importantly, as the commander of Da Qi, after Da Qi’s military had suffered a huge loss, he had also worked hard to maintain the interests of Da Qi as a whole.

With cui Qing’s death, the surrounding jackals had no more worries and became impatient.

It was the same for their old rival, the Wei State. The agreement between them and great Yan state had clearly stated that they were not allowed to invade Qi state on a large scale, especially those cultivators above the nascent soul realm. However, it was impossible for the Wei Kingdom to be so well-behaved. They were still at the border, constantly stirring up trouble and nibbling away. In the war ten years ago, because of the demonic uprising, they had suffered more losses than the Qi state, except for the fact that their Dharma idol was not killed. Otherwise, they would have been more aggressive in their invasion of the Qi state in the past ten years.

As for Great Yan, although they restrained Wei, it didn’t mean that they were good people. The Yan Kingdom was using Yuzhou and half of Qingzhou as a springboard to invade the territory of the DA Qi Kingdom. In the past, they had only taken half of Qingzhou from the Wei Kingdom, and the other half was in the hands of the Qi Kingdom. But now, the entire Qingzhou had fallen into the hands of the Yan Kingdom.

The Wu country in the South, even if it did not have a direct border with them, was still eyeing them covetously. In the past ten years, the Qi state had suffered countless losses in the cross-sea trade, and had lost an unknown amount of profits.

These things made cui zaiwen, the overseer, exhausted and angry.

Of course, he knew that the root of all this was the loss of the Qi state’s only Dharma laksana. The solution to this problem was simple-create a new Dharma idol, and everything else would be much easier.

In his opinion, he was the only one who could be chosen.

He was at the peak of the original level and his accumulation was not too bad. It was indeed a little risky to make a Dharma breakthrough now, but as long as the entire country supported him, there was still a chance of success.

He was willing to take a gamble.

If 20 million wasn’t enough, they would use 40 million!

Under the immense sense of danger, he felt that he could not delay any longer. These ten years should have been the time for the Qi state to recuperate after the war. However, ten years had passed, and they had not recovered their strength. Instead, they had become weaker and weaker.

However, the feedback he received from the various influential families of Qi state made him extremely disappointed.

They didn’t say it out loud, and even verbally supported his breakthrough, but when it came to specific benefits, they all changed the subject.

The cui family might be strong, but they couldn’t provide for the huge resource shortage by themselves. Many aristocratic families, including the Royal Kong family, were not willing to take out many things.

This made him extremely angry!

He could understand the thoughts of these aristocratic families: It was not easy for the cui family’s Dharma laksana to die. Now that everyone can be on equal footing, isn’t supporting you, cui zaiwen, to become the new Dharma laksana the same as inviting another great Buddha over your head?

However, wasn’t the fact that the Qi Kingdom didn’t have a Dharma power more important? At this time, they were still thinking about the internal power struggle. Would they have a good life after the Qi state was completely devoured in the future?

In his opinion, he was already ready to risk his life to break through to the materialization realm, but these people were holding him back!

“Stupid pig!” Sitting in the carriage, he cursed out in exasperation.

Today was the last time he was in front of the Emperor and had a discussion with the representatives of the various aristocratic families. The final result still left him extremely disappointed.

As a result, he left Jidu in anger and prepared to return to his hometown, East Province.

“Do you think I can’t do anything just because you don’t support me?”

That was what he thought in his mind.

He had once hesitated. The secret place in the East continent was extremely evil and not a good place, but it was also his last chance to break through.

As for what would happen then, cui zaiwen could not care less.

No matter what, he had to become a Dharma adept first!

It was a little late, but he had finished it!
