Chapter 22

Listen, the Immortal Transformation Pool! It is the place where mortals transform into immortals. Ding Yue had already guessed that this Transformation Pool would be the place where, in the future, those who achieve immortality would shed their mortal bodies and attain immortal bodies.

Perhaps because he was the first to transform, at this moment, not only had Ding Yue's magical power greatly increased, but his Daoist cultivation had also made significant strides over the past decade, making him feel that he was not far from becoming a Golden Immortal.

This was not the most important thing; what was important was that Ding Yue had shed his mortal body and achieved a Primordial Chaos Immortal Body. Now, his innate talent was on par with the great sages of the primordial era, who had extraordinary origins.

Ding Yue could already feel that the Transformation Pool no longer contained Chaos Qi, only Primordial Qi. In the future, even if one entered the Immortal Transformation Pool, they could only achieve a Primordial Immortal Body, not a Chaos Immortal Body.

Moreover, the Immortal Transformation Pool could only produce thirty-six Primordial Immortal Bodies. After that, it could only produce ordinary Immortal Bodies, not even Primordial ones!

This was because in later times, only Post-Heaven Qi existed, and even Primordial Qi was scarce!

"It's time to become a Golden Immortal!" Ding Yue descended and said to himself.

His accumulation was profound; he had stayed at the Profound Immortal realm for thousands of years, accompanied by several Primordial Spirit Treasures and taught by a Sage. In fact, Ding Yue could have become a Golden Immortal long ago. He still had several Jade Precious Fruits, and any one of them could send him to the Golden Immortal realm.

However, Ding Yue did not think so. His accumulation was still insufficient. Even if he became a Golden Immortal, he would be at the bottom of the Golden Immortal realm due to his mediocre innate talent.

Therefore, Ding Yue endured and sought a way to break through!

This time, being able to enter the Immortal Transformation Pool and achieve a Primordial Chaos Immortal Body allowed Ding Yue to make up for this shortcoming.

He felt it was about time!

The Jade Precious Fruit could produce nine fruits at a time. First, the Southern Pole Immortal ate an unripe one, then Ding Yue gave three ripe ones to the black dog Yan Zhan. He still had five left!

Taking out a fruit that looked like jade and emitted a brilliant light, Ding Yue took a deep breath and swallowed the fist-sized Jade Precious Fruit in one bite!

The Jade Precious Fruit dissolved upon entering his mouth, transforming into a stream of light that entered Ding Yue's body.

A loud boom echoed inside Ding Yue's body, and then various illusory scenes appeared outside his body, flashing by like a passing parade!

The stream of light suddenly dispersed inside Ding Yue's body, transforming into a series of crystalline light points that merged into his body.

Instantly, Ding Yue's mind was filled with insights, which were fragments of the Great Dao contained within the Jade Precious Fruit.

Although the insights were fleeting, Ding Yue's Daoist cultivation soared like a rocket, almost reaching the peak of the Profound Immortal realm, just a step away from the bottleneck of the Golden Immortal realm!

The Jade Precious Fruit clearly had more effects. The light points merging into Ding Yue's body directly caused his azure-colored magical power to manifest a thin layer of jade-like quality, and his magical power underwent a tremendous transformation!

About to enter the Golden Immortal realm, Ding Yue suppressed his excitement and took out two more Jade Precious Fruits, swallowing them directly.

Instantly, Ding Yue felt a loud boom in his ears, and his body swelled. Five surging white waves rushed from his abdomen to the top of his head, converging to form a green cloud with a jade-like glow, about a meter in diameter.

On the cloud, a green lotus formed from the virtual to the real in an instant!

A series of whistling sounds rose, and a pale gray mist gathered from the sky, enveloping Ding Yue!

Time quietly passed, and after three days, the gray mist slowly dissipated, revealing Ding Yue inside.

At this moment, Ding Yue opened his eyes, and two beams of light shot out, piercing several meters through his body!

Above Ding Yue's head, a cloud about ten meters in diameter formed, with a sky-blue color and countless sparkling jade-like lights scattered throughout, like stars, emitting jade-like light that wrapped around the sky!

On the cloud, a green lotus bud swayed gently, stirring a light breeze. The lotus was pure, without a trace of impurity, and looked as if it was about to bloom!

Now a Golden Immortal, Ding Yue laughed heartily. At this moment, his magical power was vast and boundless, surging and roaring!

"Condensing Immortal Finger!" Ding Yue suddenly extended his right hand, pointed, and lightly shouted.

Instantly, the sky and clouds stirred, and as Ding Yue's finger pointed, a series of lights gathered, forming a green jade finger several meters long.

Ding Yue lightly pointed, and the green jade finger aimed at a nearby small mountain peak!

With a thunderous boom, the jade finger pressed the mountain peak into the ground, flattening it!

Seeing the power of the divine skill, Ding Yue laughed heartily.

Then he used the Heaven-Turning Palm, the Nine Heavens Divine Eye, the Immortal-Splitting Slash, and other divine skills, causing a series of earth-shaking events, with the sky and earth trembling!

These divine skills were directly comprehended by Ding Yue from the Jade Precious Fruit. Although they were not yet perfected, they were already powerful, satisfying Ding Yue!

After many years in the primordial era, Ding Yue realized that true divine skills were not inferior to spirit treasures when used. However, comprehending divine skills was difficult, and creating them was even more challenging, which led to the dominance of spirit treasures in later times!

Spirit treasures were much easier to refine than divine skills!

Ding Yue also understood why the Demon Master had no famous spirit treasures. Just from the books Ding Yue obtained, there were two true divine skills, indicating the vast power of the Demon Master. Why would he need spirit treasures?

Ding Yue did not experiment further but found a place to comprehend the Golden Immortal realm. Although he had eaten three Jade Precious Fruits, making his Golden Immortal realm very stable, the effects of the Jade Precious Fruits had not been fully realized.

It took two hundred years for Ding Yue to complete his cultivation.

Moreover, his killing intent avatar also achieved a Golden Immortal realm, forming a blood-red flower of slaughter!

Truly a double joy!

After a brief tidy-up, Ding Yue looked at the other two islands!

The Golden Immortal realm allowed Ding Yue to cross the vast sea between the islands in a moment, without much effort. His speed was now hundreds of times faster than before!

The difference between Golden Immortal and Profound Immortal was immediately apparent!

The Three Immortal Islands were indeed famous in later times. On the Fangzhang Island, Ding Yue directly found a Chaos Spirit Stone, several meters high, whose value surpassed even Primordial Spirit Treasures, making it extremely precious!

On the Yingzhou Island, he directly obtained several Primordial Spirit Treasures and countless heavenly materials!

The Cloud-Gathering Flag, a high-grade spirit treasure, a white triangular flag!

The Grotto Profound Mirror, a mid-grade spirit treasure, an ancient and elegant mirror!

The Mixed Light Treasure Box, a mid-grade spirit treasure, a foot-long rectangular box with exquisite patterns and shimmering light, containing nine rays of Chaos Divine Light. Those hit by it would either die or lose their Dao, while those lightly hit would lose their magical power and Daoist cultivation!

Ding Yue then took out the Treasure Accumulating Basin and gathered countless treasures, stripping the Three Immortal Islands to the bone!

More ruthlessly, Ding Yue used the Mountain-Driving Whip to move several mountains containing Chaos Spirit Veins and extracted several spirit veins from the Three Immortal Islands!

His Primordial Chaos Immortal Body was not yet complete, and he needed a vast amount of Chaos Qi!

Since these spirit veins would eventually transform into Primordial Spirit Veins when the Immortal Islands appeared in the world, Ding Yue did not hesitate to take them!

However, Ding Yue still added a few Primordial Spirit Veins to avoid divine punishment!

Ding Yue then carefully repaired the damaged island protection array to prevent the Three Immortal Islands from appearing prematurely and left the islands!

After leaving, Ding Yue did not return to Jinao Island. Calculating the time, it was still over three hundred years before the next lecture by the sect leader. Ding Yue was not in a hurry. He had not been to Potala Island for a while, so he headed directly to the South Sea!

If it were before, it would have taken Ding Yue several hundred years to travel from the Three Immortal Islands to the South Sea, but as a Golden Immortal, he was extremely fast. After three years, he had already reached the South Sea!

At the Welcoming Immortal Island, two golden-armored guards were meditating in a pavilion.

At this moment, a green rainbow flashed from the horizon, startling the guards, who quickly stood up, somewhat defensively watching the descending rainbow!

When the rainbow landed, the guards finally saw the visitor, who was none other than the long-missing island master!

Feeling the powerful aura, the guards hurriedly bowed!

Ding Yue nodded to the guards and activated the array, disappearing from the pavilion in a flash.

Now, Potala Island was full of vitality. In the bamboo groves on the back mountain, groups of national treasures were leaping and leisurely eating.

In another direction, various medicinal gardens and orchards were neatly arranged, with child attendants laughing and playing, tending to the spiritual herbs and fruits!

In a forest, a group of golden-eyed divine eagles roosted, and around the island, azure three-eyed fish, about a foot long, played!

Ding Yue returned to Potala Island, and the island was in a state of excitement. Ziyun, Qingwu, and Liuxin, still in their child forms, happily surrounded Ding Yue, telling him about the events on the island.

Soon, the pair of golden dragons also came to Ding Yue. They were now at the Profound Immortal realm, just a step away from becoming Golden Immortals. Originally, they were somewhat不服 (unconvinced) of Ding Yue, but feeling his powerful Golden Immortal aura, their expressions changed, and they respectfully bowed!

Ding Yue did not put on airs. He knew that the golden dragons had powerful divine skills and were almost unmatched in their realm, so they naturally had some pride.

Ding Yue was very courteous, first giving them the title of Island Protectors and assigning them the largest spirit island on the periphery of Potala Island for cultivation. He would not trouble them unless there was an emergency.

Hearing Ding Yue's promise, the golden dragons smiled. Although they were somewhat unwilling, this outcome was good and satisfying!

The seven small islands around Potala Island, except for the Welcoming Immortal Island, were all excellent cultivation sites. Ding Yue had specifically used the Mountain-Driving Whip to extract and supplement spirit veins, making them quite good spirit islands, despite their small size!

Ding Yue then summoned the golden fish clan. The golden fish were a unique species in the primordial era, with considerable innate power and some dragon blood, making them golden dragons. They could use a few water divine skills and had good innate talent. After thousands of years, their population had grown to several hundred. Ding Yue directly assigned them a small island on the periphery for residence and cultivation!

However, the golden fish that had transformed were organized into a water army, with the most powerful one as the leader, mainly responsible for guarding the Welcoming Immortal Island.

Next, the national treasure family, which now numbered about forty to fifty, were all extremely cute. These national treasures had powerful divine skills, and Ding Yue assigned them a small island for residence and cultivation. He also specifically transplanted several types of bamboo, which, although not Primordial Spirit Roots, were still Primordial Spirit Materials, making their island a bamboo island!

The national treasure family also had a task: to take turns guarding the back mountain, which also meant guarding the bamboo groves. This made the national treasures very excited, as the two bamboo groves on the back mountain were Primordial Spirit Roots!

Next, the golden-eyed divine eagles, who were numerous and enemies of the national treasure family. During Ding Yue's absence, the two groups had many conflicts. Ding Yue also assigned them to a small island and organized them into a flying army, responsible for some of the island's defenses!

After making these simple arrangements, Ding Yue reconfigured the island protection array. It was no longer a simple Seven Stars Array but a more complex array that Ding Yue had comprehended from the Three Immortal Islands, which he named the Three Realms Seven Stars Array. Ding Yue had deeply comprehended the array on the Three Immortal Islands, which had three realms, each making one feel hopeless.

The main function of the Three Immortal Islands' array was to conceal and trap people. After much thought, Ding Yue made a simple improvement, using the power of the Seven Stars and adding the element of killing, making it more than just a trapping array!

For this, Ding Yue also specially refined the seven spirit islands to enhance the array's power.

However, even so, this array was not perfect in Ding Yue's mind. In later times, the截教 (Jie Sect) was the most skilled in arrays, with famous arrays like the Taiji Array, the Ten Absolute Arrays, and the Nine-Bend Yellow River Array, each renowned in the primordial era. Ding Yue also wanted to comprehend a powerful array.

The current Three Realms Seven Stars Array was not perfect and had many areas for improvement, but for now, it would have to do, and he would refine it later!
