Chapter 91: Immortal Skin and Jade Bones

  Chen Jiu is now in a desperate situation, not just desperate, but also quite deep, so deep that it can drown Chen Jiu, and the fire is also very hot, if it doesn't refine Chen Jiu, it's already a great luck.

  Every time he stepped up a layer of white jade steps, the divine seed in Chen Jiu's body would involuntarily jump slightly, as if there was some kind of aura being absorbed from the stone steps.

  Every time he stepped on a stone step, a thread of divine pattern on the seed of divine communication in Chen Jiu's body would become much clearer.

  Looking at the remaining twenty or so White Jade Steps, Chen Jiu gritted his teeth: "I, Chen Jiu, want to stand at the pinnacle of all heavens. Without surpassing others' abilities, it's not possible. To stand out among my peers, I must make up for all that I've missed in the past."

  The royal and noble families, as well as those who follow the Taoist teachings of Fang Xianzong, all start their children on a regimen of medicinal baths at birth, cutting off grains, and establishing a foundation for the Tao.

  No one knew who Chen Jiuxiao was or where his hometown was before he was six years old, because his memories before the age of six were a complete blank.

  When he woke up, his soul had already changed and he came to Qinglong Mountain, becoming a mountain bandit.

  A den of thieves, even if he had a good relationship with the master, how could the master bear to use spiritual medicine to wash his marrow and cut his hair?

  All along the way of ups and downs, Chen Jiu's body was exhausted, and it can be said that being able to live until now is truly a miracle.

  If it weren't for that seed state of Yuanqi, Chen Jiu wouldn't have been able to cultivate martial arts, and would have died on the road to Qingzhou Prefecture.

  Chen Jiu didn't know what level his inherited mantra "Tian Dao Zao Hua" was, or how powerful it was. However, through the memories of that one night's transmission, he could sense that moving stars and changing fate were mere child's play. Once his own strength reached its peak, he would be able to roam freely in the vast expanse of heaven and earth.

  The creation of heaven and earth is the foundation of one's own standing. One layer of heaven, one spiritual penetration; thirty-three layers of heaven, thirty-three spiritual penetrations.

  As for the extent of the divine power's ferocity, it is impossible to predict, but there are ways to control and induce it.

  For example, the cursed divine ability that Chen Jiu activated was the result of countless villagers constantly cursing him, and the dense resentment was absorbed by Chen Jiu. Coincidentally, Chen Jiu was at a critical point in his breakthrough, and those resentments became the nutrients for the divine ability seed. Then, the cursed divine ability was triggered.

  "Thirty-three, wait a minute... In the previous life, it was said that there were thirty-three heavens in the sky. Does this world also have thirty-three layers of heaven? The Thirty-Three Layers of Divine Path, I think I understand something." Enduring the power of the water's baptism, Chen Jiu looked at the world under his feet.

  "One, two, three, four, five... thirty-three, and it's also thirty-three floors, unbelievable!" Chen Jiuzi was tongue-tied.

  Just as he was thinking about it, suddenly felt that the barrier in front of him had disappeared, Chen Jiuyi stepped forward.

  Pain, a piercing pain, as if there was a steel knife constantly scraping back and forth on one's bones, a flow of extreme yin energy. For some reason, Chen Jiu suddenly had an idea in his mind: "This is the power of Taiyin, the ultimate yin power in the world, the power of the Taiyin star."

  The power of Taiyin Star is not so simple, and there must be an imperceptible transformation of Taiyin that continues to transform Chen Jiu. Chen Jiu's eyes slightly opened, a curved moon formed in the depths of his pupils, illuminating the ancient space-time.

  The power of Taiyin refined every part of Chen Jiu, from the tips of his teeth to the ends of his hair, and from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet. A strange flavor oscillated and imprinted a mysterious pattern on Chen Jiu's spine.

  These strange patterns include those belonging to Taiyin Star, Fire, Water, and Thunder. Every time Chen Jiu steps up a step, after being washed and refined by that energy, he will leave an imprint, which is the rhythm of Tao, the imprint of the Great Way.

  What is the Great Way? What is the Heavenly Way? Everyone has their own understanding, and no one can say it clearly, because our boundaries are not enough.

  The power of Taiyin dissipated, and Chen Jiu's washing of his marrow and cutting of his hair was only half completed.

  The power of utmost yang, this is the power of the sun, utmost yang and strong yang, can nourish all living things, can punish and destroy the world.

  Since ancient times, the sun has been an object of worship for all living things, a symbol of authority and divine power.

  Chen Jiu's bone marrow is slowly changing, the tempering of Taiyin's power and the tempering of Taiyang's power make Chen Jiu's bone marrow seem like flowing water that is slowly solidifying into shape.

  The bone marrow is like beautiful jade, liquid beautiful jade.

  One side is the power of utmost yang, the other side is the power of utmost yin. The powers of yin and yang are entwined with each other. Chen Jiu's bone marrow is slowly solidifying, forming a left side that is fiery red with a scorching hot feeling, filled with the power of Taiyang. The right side is silver white, filled with the icy cold power of Taishan. The powers of yin and yang are opposing, but also interdependent and mutually reliant on each other.

  From extreme yin to extreme yang, a cycle is formed. New jade marrow is constantly being generated, while the old jade marrow is absorbed and transformed again, this is a transformation of yin and yang, each time it is a reincarnation.

  The skeleton is also slowly transforming, the originally white skeleton gradually produces a luster, density continuously increasing, every time after washing and practicing, the skeleton's radiance will be even more brilliant.

  Next is the power of earth, thick and heavy as a mountain, yet indispensable.

  The five elements, yin and yang, Chen Jiubai had gone through all of that. This was the seventh step. Looking at the steps behind him, Chen Jiubai's mouth twitched: "Can't there be a slightly more comfortable way?"

  No one knows what kind of suffering Chen Jiu has gone through, no one knows how Chen Jiu walked through those thirty-three layers of white jade steps.

  Standing on the top layer of the white jade stone steps, looking at the lower layers of white jade stone steps, the strange charm has disappeared, and the luster that was present when I first saw it is gone. It's as if some kind of power has been lost, turning into ordinary white jade stone steps.

  "Congratulations to you, adventurer, you have achieved a body of jade and bone, all impurities in your body have been thoroughly eliminated." The voice sounded again.

  "Is this a celestial body?" Chen Jiu looked at his own hands, and indeed they were as white as jade, with a subtle aura that only the owner of this body could sense.

  "What effect does this celestial skin and jade bones have?" Chen Jiu asked.

  "Haha, young one, you've obtained the greatest benefit in the world without even realizing it!" After saying that, the voice asked back: "What is a Xian muscle and jade bone? Just by hearing the name, you can tell that it's a skeletal structure that only immortals can possess. You now have it, isn't that the greatest benefit of all?"

  "Xianren's skeleton" Chen Ji murmured to himself, then raised his head: "If I go out now, won't I become the target of everyone's criticism? What if they covet my body and try to seize it?"

  Chen Jiu gained a huge advantage inside, while the crowd outside was getting impatient. Li Mingyuan looked at Chen Yi: "Have you found Chen Jiu?"

  Chen Yi shook his head: "This kid is like a human vaporization, without any trace."

  Li Mingyuan looked up at the sky, gazing at the distant white jade stone steps, then furrowed his brow: "It shouldn't be like this, according to reason, when we arrived here, the next level should have appeared, or there should be a portal for the next level, but now there's not even a hint of anything."

  The rest of the people listened to Li Mingyuan's words and were all bowing their heads in contemplation, when suddenly the young leader of Fang Xian Dao gathered his spiritual energy and struck it at the ground.

  The ground was made of white jade, smooth and elegant. It could be seen that the owner who built this palace was very wealthy. The white jade itself was fragile, but it had gathered spiritual power, a palm that could open mountains and split rocks, yet did not cause any waves, just like an ordinary palm.

  "What are you going to do?" Li Mingyuan rebuked angrily after seeing the leader of the Fang Xian Dao youth's actions.

  "What do I need to report to you?" The leader of the other party, a young man who was also an arrogant figure, couldn't tolerate being questioned by a stranger.

  "Alright, alright, if you want to die, then don't drag everyone else down with you. We don't want to die," he said. After that, Li Mingyuan looked at the few people: "There's something fishy going on here. You know what might happen, recklessly destroying the buildings here could trigger some kind of restriction and cause trouble."

  As soon as the words fell, several people showed a look of disbelief, but soon they believed it. A palm force appeared out of nowhere, divided into seven parts, and firmly locked up several people.

  "Bang" "bang" "bang", several impacts later, Yi Xiao Xiao was shocked: "This is Fang Xian Dao's palm power".
