Chapter Thirty-Six: The Divine Body of Imprisonment (Part 2)

This situation had occurred countless times in the Ancient Xiyan Sect. Many geniuses initially held the idea of first cultivating the "Moon Vortex Yang Wheel Technique" to rapidly advance in the early stages. Once the "Moon Vortex Yang Wheel Technique" could no longer drive the foundation-building process, they would then cultivate other longevity techniques.

However, once many geniuses got involved, they could no longer escape the influence of the "Moon Vortex Yang Wheel Technique," because its method of circulating blood qi was unique.

Because of this, the Ancient Xiyan Sect later did not approve of disciples cultivating this technique, especially those with good aptitude. The sect had a strict order: absolutely no cultivation of this technique!

"I have my own plans." Li Qiyi smiled but said no more. Of course, he couldn't reveal the true secret. If someone who knew the value of it found out he had a flawless "Moon Vortex Yang Wheel Technique," the consequences would be unimaginable!

Nan Huairen knew that Li Qiyi was neither ignorant nor arrogant, but he couldn't understand where Li Qiyi's confidence came from!

"I heard that Second Senior Brother is coming these days." Nan Huairen came today mainly to bring Li Qiyi this news.

Li Qiyi nodded but didn't ask any more. In fact, he had never been concerned about the Second Senior Brother, the disciple of the sect leader Zhou Yonghuang.

After sending Nan Huairen away, Li Qiyi immersed himself in cultivation again. Diligence compensates for lack of talent, and the slow bird must fly first. Although he already possessed unparalleled techniques like the "Moon Vortex Yang Wheel Technique" and the "Six Transformations of Kunpeng," he still couldn't afford the slightest laziness!

The Foundation-Building Realm also has three levels, from low to high: 1) Establishing the Technique, 2) Absorbing Essence and Qi, 3) Expanding the Territory!

When the Palace-Knocking Realm is perfected, it means that both the foundation-building techniques for the Life Wheel and the Destiny Palace are already set. The Dao foundations of the Life Wheel and Destiny Palace have been cast.

At this point, one can choose to cultivate other techniques, whether it be Destiny Techniques, Life Techniques, secret arts for combat, or body techniques.

All future techniques are cultivated based on the foundation-building techniques, so the first level is called "Establishing the Technique."

Currently, Li Qiyi was cultivating the extraordinary martial skill, the Strange Door Saber Technique. He wasn't in a hurry to cultivate other techniques. Now, he must refine his body, making it stronger.

For a cultivator, the strength of the Life Wheel and Destiny Palace is far from enough; the body must also be strong.

The Life Wheel and Destiny Palace are innate and cannot be changed, but the body can be improved through cultivation.

Innate bodies can be inferior or superior. The worst is called the Mortal Body, and the best is called the Immortal Body. From inferior to superior, they are: Mortal Body, Acquired Body, Innate Body, Imperial Body, Sacred Body, and Immortal Body!

Whether it's a Mortal Body, Acquired Body, Innate Body, Imperial Body, or Sacred Body, they can all be innate, but the Immortal Body cannot be innate. The Immortal Body is the ultimate limit of all bodies, so there has never been anyone born with an Immortal Body in the world!

For the body, the Innate Body is a watershed. Once someone is born with an Innate Body, it means they have the opportunity to cultivate into an Imperial Body, Sacred Body, or even an Immortal Body.

In terms of the body, an Innate Body can be cultivated into an Imperial Body, Sacred Body, or even an Immortal Body through advancement.

However, an Acquired Body cannot. For example, Xu Hui's Golden Eagle Body belongs to the Acquired Body's fierce bird series. This body is quite good among Acquired Bodies.

Like Xu Hui's Golden Eagle Body, he can cultivate it into a Heavenly Eagle Body or even a Divine Eagle Body through powerful body techniques. Although the ultimate state of this body might not be weaker than an Imperial Body, this Acquired Body can never cultivate into the ultimate state of the body—the Immortal Body!

Cultivating a Golden Eagle Body into a Heavenly Eagle Body is called reinforcement, while cultivating an Innate Body into an Imperial Body is called advancement!

Bodies like the Innate Body and Sacred Body have various limitations. For example, the Golden Bull Body in Innate Bodies can be advanced to the Tyrant Body in Imperial Bodies through cultivation. However, it cannot cultivate into other bodies, even those of the same level.

The type of body one is born with determines what type of body they can cultivate into; this cannot be changed by techniques or body ointments.

However, the creation of the heavens is so wondrous! No matter whether it's a Golden Eagle Body or a Golden Bull Body, even through the most extraordinary cultivation, they cannot transcend their own body type.

However, there is one body that can, and that is the Mortal Body, which countless people look down upon.

The Mortal Body can cultivate into a Heavenly Eagle Body, a Golden Bull Body, and even the legendary Immortal Body! Before cultivation, the Mortal Body is not restricted in any way! Therefore, when cultivating the body, the Mortal Body has no restrictions in choosing body techniques.

For example, if an Acquired Body is fire-natured, it must cultivate fire-natured body techniques. If it cultivates water-natured body techniques, it will cause fatal defects in the body.

The Mortal Body has no such requirements; any body technique can be chosen at the beginning!

Of course, for a Mortal Body to cultivate into an Acquired Body or even an Innate Body, it is not an easy task. First, it needs sufficiently powerful body techniques; second, it requires persistent effort, ten times more than others; third, it needs a large amount of body ointment, the more and higher quality, the better!

Cultivating a Mortal Body into an Innate Body is an extremely difficult task, requiring countless efforts!

For someone like Li Qiyi, with a Mortal Body, Mortal Destiny, and Mortal Wheel, no one would be willing to invest effort in him. Such a person, whether in teaching body techniques or using body ointment to refine the body, would be a waste.

Li Qiyi also knew that cultivating a Mortal Body into other bodies was extremely arduous, but his Dao heart remained unshaken. He possessed the Body Book, one of the Nine Heavenly Books, which even Immortal Emperors coveted!

Moreover, Li Qiyi's Dao heart was as firm as iron. If others could succeed, he could too. The Immortal Emperor Mingren of the Ancient Xiyan Sect, many later generations claimed that the Immortal Emperor Mingren was born with an Immortal Body, and many said that his Daytime Body was innate.

Li Qiyi, of course, knew this was complete nonsense! He had personally cultivated the Immortal Emperor Mingren, and he was very clear about this. The Immortal Emperor Mingren, who possessed the Daytime Body, was neither an Innate Body nor a Sacred or Imperial Body; he was a Mortal Body!

This fact might be hard for the Ancient Xiyan Sect to accept, but it was the truth. In his youth, the Immortal Emperor Mingren was a Mortal Body. Li Qiyi, transformed into a Yin Crow, possessed one of the Nine Heavenly Books, the Body Book. He taught the "Yang" character from this book, and ultimately, the Immortal Emperor Mingren cultivated into one of the twelve Immortal Bodies, the Daytime Body.

Today, Li Qiyi's mind also opened the Body Book, and all its secrets surfaced. No one in the ancient times could grasp more of the Body Book's secrets than him. The secrets of the Body Book had created countless legends for him!

From the primitive era to the present, he had studied the Body Book, especially during the Black Dragon King era, when he thoroughly understood it. Later, when his state became problematic, he had the Black Dragon King erase all the secrets of the Body Book from his mind!

The original Body Book had only six characters, which were born in the chaos. After countless years of Li Qiyi's contemplation, he finally unraveled all the secrets of this book.

The six characters of the Body Book are: Yin-Yang, Hard-Soft, Clear-Turbid! Although the Body Book has only six characters, it encompasses the ultimate secrets of all living beings' bodies!

In ancient times, there were twelve Immortal Bodies. In fact, few people knew that the concept of the twelve Immortal Bodies originated from the Body Book!

Each of the six characters of the Body Book, if cultivated to the ultimate level, would produce two Immortal Bodies! And two different Immortal Bodies, of course, anyone can only cultivate one of them.

For example, the Immortal Emperor Mingren, whom Li Qiyi taught the "Yang" character in the past. The ultimate state of the "Yang" character has two Immortal Bodies: the Daytime Body and the Sun Body! The Immortal Emperor Mingren cultivated the Daytime Body, one of the twelve Immortal Bodies, the ultimate Yang principle—the Daytime Body!

Through generations of deduction and countless years of contemplation, Li Qiyi understood that the Body Book could cultivate any body, but ultimately, the most powerful were the twelve Immortal Bodies.

In the past, Li Qiyi had taught the "Yang" character to the Immortal Emperor Mingren, and now, Li Qiyi mastered the ultimate secrets of the six characters. However, this time, Li Qiyi chose to cultivate not the "Yang" character but the "Turbid" character!

Moreover, Li Qiyi set his goal. He would cultivate the "Turbid" character, and the ultimate form of turbidity! He would cultivate one of the twelve Immortal Bodies, the Divine Body of Imprisonment, within the "Turbid" character!

Li Qiyi knew that to cultivate the Divine Body of Imprisonment to perfection would be a very long process. Any of the twelve Immortal Bodies could not be cultivated overnight, taking at least a few hundred years, or even thousands or tens of thousands of years.

However, Li Qiyi's Dao heart was as firm as iron. Even though he was born with a Mortal Body, he still had confidence. As long as he persisted, one day, he would cultivate the Divine Body of Imprisonment!

The secrets of the Body Book surfaced in Li Qiyi's mind. Li Qiyi controlled the secrets of the "Turbid" character, and the secrets of the runes flowed into his Destiny Palace like a river.

At this moment, Li Qiyi's true destiny absorbed the blood qi and also the secrets of the "Turbid" character. Through the refinement of his true destiny, the secrets of the "Turbid" character were integrated into the blood qi.

At this moment, Li Qiyi's whole body trembled. In an instant, everything seemed to slow down, as if everything had slowed down!
