Chapter 2190: Unity of Spirit and Flesh
"I think we should discuss this further."
Evil Eyes said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng shook his head directly and said, "There’s no need to consider it further; my mind is made up. Don’t worry. I’ve already said that I won’t be in danger. I’ve made full preparations for this action."
"Full preparations? What kind of preparations?" Long Qie couldn’t help but ask.
After Xiao Zheng smiled, he spoke, "I’ve already found eight pieces of the Golden Bone. Once I merge with these eight pieces, my cultivation should be able to break through into the Derivation Realm."
"In the Derivation Realm, spirit and flesh become one, allowing for rebirth from blood, so unless someone’s cultivation realm is vastly superior to mine, no one can kill me."
Upon hearing his words, everyone couldn’t help but feel shocked once again.
No one expected that Xiao Zheng still had eight pieces of the Golden Bone hidden away, and he could soon break through into the Derivation Realm! Long Qie and the others had long heard of the rumors about the Derivation Realm!
The very concept of rebirth from a single drop of blood already highlights the power of the Derivation Realm!
Just as Xiao Zheng said, unless someone’s strength and realm completely overpower him, no one can kill him. And in this world, there are few people whose realm and combat power can completely overpower him. Only those who surpass the Derivation Realm might be able to achieve this.
As for whether the Ancient Clan actually possesses beings that surpass the Derivation Realm, everyone almost doesn’t need to think to know it’s unlikely.
Because if the Ancient Clan had a leader beyond the Derivation Realm, the Ancient Clan wouldn’t have so many branches; they would have unified the Ancient World long ago. So, until now, everyone has truly relaxed.
"So when do you plan to set out?" Long Qie asked again.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Zheng replied, "I’ve arranged to meet with Hades in six days. After meeting Hades, I’ll set off for the Ancient World. This journey will probably take a lot of time, so my brothers will need to look after things at home."
"Don’t worry, as long as I have a breath left in me, I definitely won’t let the people of the Ancient Clan step out of the barrier even half a step!" Long Qie said seriously.
He had already made up his mind that once Xiao Zheng set off, he would personally guard the barrier located in the Kunlun Mountain Range.
"No need to be so serious and tense, maybe the people of the Ancient Clan won’t come out so soon," Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Then today’s meeting will end here. I don’t have much time today, I’ll spend time with Leng Ruobing and them, then prepare to start secluded cultivation."
"Five days should be enough."
"Oh, by the way, if everyone’s free at noon, let’s have a meal together."
Upon hearing his words, everyone gladly agreed.
Xiao Zheng then stayed at Sky Net, taking the opportunity to coach everyone in their cultivation while there was still time. In fact, everyone was very diligent in their cultivation, especially after constantly being left behind by Xiao Zheng, which made everyone feel tremendous pressure.
As the saying goes, pressure creates motivation, so everyone’s enthusiasm for cultivation was incredibly high.
Especially Evil Eyes and Titan, the two cultivation fanatics, everyone broke through to the Supreme Realm together, yet they have already broken through to the Mid Marvelous Realm. In no time, they’ll both be able to break through into the Peak of Supreme Realm.
These two are currently, besides Xiao Zheng, the strongest combat forces in Sky Net.
In fact, Long Qie’s talent is no less than theirs, only that his duties with Sky Net’s affairs leave him little time for cultivation. Xiao Zheng sees his hard work, too.
Xiao Zheng has made up his mind; during his coming trip to the Ancient World, he will help Long Qie find excellent materials for refining a Soul Holy Stone. This would be a reward for this great contributor to Sky Net.
Sky Net’s development into its current size is undoubtedly due in no small part to Long Qie’s efforts.
After lunch, Xiao Zheng returned home.
At that time, Leng Ruobing had already told Chu Xiaoran about Xiao Zheng’s imminent departure. Although somewhat disheartened, Chu Xiaoran still fully supported Xiao Zheng. With this issue settled, Xiao Zheng spent the remaining time of the day well accompanying the two of them.
When Mo Anna got off work in the evening, he invited her over for dinner as well.
By the next day, Xiao Zheng officially started his secluded cultivation.
This time he chose Sky Net headquarters as the location for his secluded cultivation, worried that his breakthrough’s momentum might uncontrollably leak out and injure Leng Ruobing and Chu Xiaoran.
After entering a secret chamber Long Qie had specifically selected for him, Xiao Zheng immediately took out the eight pieces of the Golden Bone from his bosom.
He then held the Golden Bones in his palms and subsequently merged them into his body.
Once the eight Golden Bones entered his body, he immersed himself in an ethereal state of cultivation. As the energy within his body began to circulate, the free energy of the universe continuously gathered toward him.
The spiritual energy from all directions converged in such density that it appeared mist-like, transforming the entire secret chamber into what seemed like an earthly utopia.
Even those far from the chamber, such as Long Qie and others, felt it keenly and were filled with admiration for Xiao Zheng.
After all, this was only just the beginning, and the commotion was already so astonishing. If Xiao Zheng truly began to break through, the kind of disturbance it would cause was something Long Qie and the others dared not imagine.
Inside the secret chamber, Xiao Zheng, enveloped by dense heavenly energy, had started his path of breaking through the realm.
A total of 53 pieces of Golden Bone sparkled within his body.
Threads of mysterious power continually seeped from the Golden Bones.
Every time the energy within Xiao Zheng strengthened, his aura concurrently intensified. Upon reaching a critical point, eleven avatars appeared uncontrollably at his side.
The power of the Derivation Realm lies in rebirth from a single drop of blood, and its secret is in the unity of spirit and flesh.
The so-called unity of spirit and flesh contrasts with the breakthrough in the Creation Realm by merging all created avatars back into the original body, ultimately achieving the unity of spirit and flesh. When the soul and flesh are thoroughly integrated, it signifies that Xiao Zheng has completed the breakthrough!
Though free of danger, the process is extraordinarily difficult.
Even the first step was something Xiao Zheng hesitated to take.
Until the third day of his secluded cultivation, he finally found some feeling. Indeed, this feeling was akin to the so-called enlightenment. Once he grasped everything troubling him, the subsequent events naturally fell into place.
Through Xiao Zheng’s relentless effort, his first avatar finally began to transform!
