Chapter 203: Tao Body Acquisition
🕑 Added 2025-10-26 15:15:38 +0000 UTCToday marks a special day.
Ten days of hard work and the wave of Tao Gifts completed my Golden Core journey.
{Body: Peak Golden Core (100%)}
{Qi: Peak Golden Core (100%)}
{Mind: Peak Golden Core (100%)}
Five years…
I was too conservative… or rather, I was always conservative with the honkai. I did not have much confidence to reach the Purple Mansion Realm before the battle on the Moon. Then, the gradual discovery of honkai hacks raised my expectations to the Golden Core Realm. One event led to another. The Sea of Quanta gave us a huge opportunity.
Looking at the brilliant light emitted by my Golden Core, I can only sigh. The progress within the Golden Core Realm relies on strengthening the Golden Core. This feeds back to the soul, nurturing it. Once this process is completed, the Golden Core can be shattered as the soul transforms into a Nascent Soul.
I watched as the fourteen different lights circled around my Golden Core. They represented the supernatural powers I possessed. It sets me apart from other Golden Cores, especially the Supernatural Power of [Enlightenment].
Ever since I spread [Blade Mantra 2.0] to this world, the stagnant supernatural seed blossomed into a supernatural power. It, just like the rest of the supernatural powers, are at the limit of the Golden Core Realm. My impending breakthrough will merge them into one, forming the so-called “Dharma Avatar”.
There is one last thing left to do.
The thin atmosphere at Mount Fuji’s summit resulted in the lack of gusts of wind. Kiana’s Void Drifter Battlesuit, consisting of a half-sleeve jacket and a close-fitting black inner wear that took the shape of her waist, did not rustle. The same went with her untied long white hair.
“Are you sure you don’t need to call her over?” She suddenly asked.
“No. You can do it.”
“Okay.”
She lacked her usual unserious look. The two of us came here today to do one thing: to proceed with my Tao Body acquisition. Once mine is completed, I will do it to Kiana too. The Demon Cores I stockpiled is enough for the two of us.
“You know, I did not expect you to major in formations.”
“Hm..?”
“You hated math back then, yeah?”
The formation originally required for this is at the seventh level. With the existence of the Herrscher of the End’s physical body samples, I managed to lower it to the fifth level.
Kiana’s Thirty-Six Heavenly Phase Flags are enough to take full control of it. Our idle talks remained for a while.
“Hmph. I hated studying back then because I couldn’t understand anything. Once I learned the knowledge from the lower grades, it no longer felt as boring as before.”
“So you went through elementary to college in a year?” I asked rhetorically.
“What’s wrong with it? I looked for things that can make you proud back then.”
In short, she wanted bragging rights.
“And here I thought only Bronya will focus on formations.”
“I am not that dumb…”
“Yeah.”
I chose not to contradict her. Bronya has a high comprehension and affinity with the stars. It made her suitable for formations. Kiana possessed the talent over void. Her affinity for dimensions is very high, which also made her suitable for formations. All she had to do was study the advanced theoretical mathematics contained within the cultivation techniques.
In this regard, her buy-one-get-one main cultivation technique is a hack.
It did not take long to complete the set-up of the fifth grade formation. Its materials came from my five years’ worth of gacha. I refined all of the hundred and twelve formation flags required with fourth and fifth grade materials. It did not require much since this operation relies on me and the thirty five Demon Cores I gathered.
I saw Kiana’s gaze remaining on the fiftieth formation flag.
“The forty-ninth flag creates the fifth fundamental homeomorphic space for…”
The naughty Kiana is cute, but the serious Kiana is cute too.
“Every deformation has a range. It will be fine as long as it is within the limits.” I said.
“Can you guarantee an error-free operation?”
Hearing her question, I willingly gambled with my aura.
“Yes.”
“You said it. I will have no choice but to nurse you in bed once something bad happens.”
My heart skipped a beat. As expected, her voice filled with realization rang.
“We haven’t done that yet, have we?”
I decided to start the operation before something else happens.
*****
Tao Body acquisition is a high-end cultivation technique. Within a typical cultivation world, its required resources are very hard to take. Every Demon Beasts with True Spirit Bloodline has a backer. The pure-blooded ones are almost guaranteed to have a background of Void Refinement Realm. It is impossible to offend several Void Refinement Realm practitioners for a high grade Tao Body. A potential Void Refinement Realm is outweighed by three actual Void Refinement Realm practitioners, and as such, the chances of using it is slim.
Fortunately, Shi Tian went to the honkai world. Not only did he have several cultivation hacks (i.e., Honkai, Imaginary Tree, Sea of Quanta), he also had the golden orb that supplied him endless amounts of Demon Cores with True Spirit Bloodlines.
Thus, it leads to the scene of today.
Shi Tian sat cross-legged midair without any piece of clothing. The 112 formation flags floated mid-air. Kiana’s Thirty-six formation flags split up evenly and seeped through the 112 other formation flags.
A ray of ‘light’ connected them one-by-one. The thirty-five Demon Cores around him floated mid-air. Following them is the ‘blood’ from the Herrscher of the End. She did not have a ‘real’ physical body per se. It is more appropriate to call them a part of her Divine Transformation Authority.
It was supposed to grant her a strong connection with the Cocoon of Finality. But, the Sea of Quanta recreated it into a strong connection with the Sea of Quanta. That was where her power lay.
Now, Shi Tian used this fragment to complete the transformation of his Tao Body!
They began to rotate around him at a fast speed. Their movements turned into a blur.
The gaps within the formation were swiftly closed. The last thing Kiana could see was the Demon Cores’ movements being as fast as light itself.
Soon, Shi Tian was enveloped by a blood-red light; its shape akin to an egg.
Seeing everything was stable, Kiana breathed a sigh of relief.
“A nurse outfit… There are variants of them aside from the white one.”
She began to think of the various nurse outfits all over the world.
