Chapter 489: Innate Water and Soil
Zhang Qian ignored the rumors from the outside world. He was now sitting cross-legged under the Bodhi tree on Feixian Island. The thirty-three-story Heavenly Demon Pagoda was vibrating and shedding rays of divine light. The power of the divine light flowed into his dantian and was absorbed by the golden elixir.

In the center of the purple-gold elixir is an illusory space. In this space, there is a hazy shadow sitting cross-legged.

Looking closely, the shadow looked exactly like Zhang Qian, his Yin Spirit.

After a cultivator achieves the ninth transformation of the golden elixir, his soul will be nourished by the golden elixir's qi and will transform into a Yin God. The Yin God is different from the soul. The soul is very fragile and even a breeze can blow it away. The Yin God is the beginning of a cultivator's achievement of the Yuan Shen.

Starting from the Yin God realm, the cultivator's practice turns to refining the spirit. At this stage, the most important thing is to strengthen the soul and allow it to completely transform until it becomes a pure Yang spirit.

At this moment, Zhang Qian's Yin Shen, which was in the middle stage, was growing stronger under the nourishment of Shen Xi.

All the sword cultivators in the Mountain, River and State Map have been refined into Divine Light by the pagoda. Combined with the previous legacy, the majestic power of Divine Light has submerged his Yin Spirit, and the illusory Yin Spirit is solidifying bit by bit.

Even the speed of solidification is visible to the naked eye. He is not restricted by any realm. Ever since his bloodline returned to his innate state, Zhang Qian's body has been strong enough. As long as he can cultivate the first level of the Heavenly Dao Jade Body, his path to becoming an immortal will be smooth sailing without any constraints.

hum!
Suddenly, the Yin Spirit sitting cross-legged inside the golden elixir concentrated, opened its eyes, and flashed two purple-gold rays of light.

The light illuminated the entire golden elixir space, and the Yin God opened his mouth wide and swallowed the divine light that was leaning down.

Rumble!
A roar like waves sounded in Zhang Qian's heart, and his Yin Spirit completely condensed into substance, no longer so transparent and illusory, and his Yin Spirit began to surge.

At the beginning, the Yin God was only three inches higher, but at this moment, the Yin God changed.

Slowly, the Yin Spirit grew to about one foot in height, but this was not the end.

An hour later, Zhang Qian's Yin Spirit had grown to the same height as his body. Standing in the Jindan space, the Yin Spirit looked like a giant standing upright, towering and majestic.

"The Yin Spirit has reached the state of great perfection!"

Zhang Qian, who was standing under the Bodhi tree, breathed a sigh of relief but did not stand up. Instead, he had a thought and the golden ancient dragon loach appeared.

Ever since his blood returned to his innate state and he once again became a prehistoric creature, his spiritual power has also transformed into an existence that is no less powerful than that of the stars.

After all, they are innate creatures from the ancient world and are not to be taken lightly.

The ten-zhang-long ancient dragon loach cleverly controlled the golden auspicious clouds and circled like a real dragon, appearing above Zhang Qian's head.

"It's time to break through. The Dharma Realm shouldn't be difficult for me!"

As he spoke, the ancient dragon loach moved.

Lingji's ten-foot-long body turned around and rushed straight forward, incredibly rushing into Zhang Qian's Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.

This scene looks awkward, yet so natural.

After the spiritual energy rushed into the Baihui acupoint, it traveled through Zhang Qian's meridians and finally came to the Dantian.

Zhang Qian's expression became serious. He held his breath and immersed his entire mind in his dantian.

In order to achieve the Dharmakāya, one must merge one's spiritual inspiration with the Yin Spirit at the center of the golden elixir and make them one and the same.

After the fusion, the Dharma image is formed.

This is the origin of the Dharmakāya, and after achieving the Dharmakāya, the magical powers originally brought by the cultivator's inspiration will be fully formed.

For example, Li Qingque's spiritual power is the Moon and the Moon. She manifests the Moon's Dharma Image and can use the Moon and the Moon's Light of God-Slaying, which is a terrifying magical power that ignores the physical body and directly attacks the soul. Even in the prehistoric world, the Moon and the Moon's Light of God-Slaying is a powerful magical power that is enough to hurt the Ancestral Witch. No matter how strong the Ancestral Witch's physical body is, the Moon and the Moon's Light of God-Slaying will ignore the physical body and directly attack the soul.

Although the spirit and soul of the ancestor witch have merged into one with his body, he still has a spirit and soul.

Before achieving the Dharmakāya, Li Qingque's miraculous intelligence of the moon was not fully revealed. Only after achieving the Dharmakāya was she able to use the Taiyin God-Slaying Divine Light.

Zhang Qian's inspiration was the ancient dragon loach, which was the miraculous manifestation of the innate creatures of the prehistoric times. The ancient dragon loach was born with the innate principles of water and soil, and was naturally in tune with the principles of water and soil. It did not need to comprehend any of it, as long as it grew slowly it would automatically understand the principles of water and soil. This was the talent of innate creatures, which others could not envy.

hold head high!
At this moment, the ancient dragon loach that rushed into the Dantian suddenly roared like a dragon, and the dragon loach circled around the golden elixir for several circles. Then Zhang Qian's mind moved, and the spirit hit hard, rushing into the space in the center of the golden elixir without any hindrance!
He immersed his mind in the center of the golden elixir. On one side of this space was a Yin God that looked exactly like himself, and on the other side was an ancient dragon loach.

"combine!"

He suddenly shouted in a low voice, and the Yin God and the ancient dragon loach pounced towards the middle. The two collided with each other, and the dragon loach circled and entangled the Yin God, and the Yin God emitted a purple-gold light that enveloped the dragon loach.

A Tai Chi divine ball appeared, rotating, half of it was the Yin God and half of it was the dragon loach.

As time passed, the Tai Chi ball spun faster and faster until it turned into a phantom. Even Zhang Qian himself could not see the changes clearly.

However, his mind was firmly in control of the movements in the divine ball.

In the rapid rotation, the Yin Spirit and the ancient dragon loach spirit began to merge.

The fusion process was very slow. At the beginning, the two kept colliding, splashing out brilliant divine clouds. After colliding countless times, the madly spinning Tai Chi Shenqiu suddenly stopped.

Under Zhang Qian's gaze, the Yin God in the divine ball and the ancient dragon loach seemed to have found the frequency of fusion. They no longer repelled each other, but merged together seamlessly in an instant.

Bang!
The divine ball exploded, and a one-foot-long ancient dragon loach appeared.

Dharma!

This is Zhang Qian’s Dharma image.

After the Yin Spirit and the Lingji merged, it turned into a Dharma image one foot long. It seemed to have become smaller, but in fact the power within it had undergone a drastic change.

hum!
The next moment, Zhang Qian suddenly sensed two extremely broad Taoist ideas surging out from the Dharma image.

Rumble!
From one of the Tao thoughts, there was a sound of surging waves, and the innate water Tao thought that was extremely yin and soft, and nourished all things, emerged.

The other is the earth-walking spirit of carrying all things, bearing the world, and shaping the mountains and rivers.

The two kinds of Taoism, one flexible and the other heavy, the essence of the water and soil were instilled into Zhang Qian's mind.

"The innate way of water and soil!"

Zhang Qian was slightly startled, then he reacted and realized that this was the power that his bloodline originally possessed, but it was only fully displayed after he achieved the Dharmakāya!

As a prehistoric innate creature, and a creature born from the innate principles of water and soil, he can instinctively control the innate principles of water and soil.

However, after coming to the Xihuang world, Zhang Qian's bloodline became an acquired bloodline, and it no longer had the magical powers of the ancient times.

Now his blood has returned to his innate state, and he has once again become an innate creature. After achieving the Dharmakāya, the innate water and earth have returned again. This is an instinctive return, as if something that he had lost for a long time has reappeared.
