Chapter 681: Immortal Dao Body
At that time, the Jiutian Sect joined forces to besiege an innate stone spirit. All kinds of innate spiritual treasures were useless and could not hurt the opponent. In the end, it was the innate spiritual treasure of the Tianji Sect, the World-Suppressing Bronze Coffin, which burst out with an innate silirty spirit energy and hurt the opponent's soul.

From this we can see that compared to the indestructible physical body, the soul of the innate stone spirit can be regarded as a weak point.

The Yuangu Killing Curse Bow is an extremely ominous treasure obtained by the old saint in the ancient times. It is said that this treasure has a great origin. It was the moment when the world tree was chopped down and the body of the world tree died, and the horrible resentment and murderous intent condensed in a branch of the world tree.

The endless resentment and murderous intent directly changed the nature of the branches, turning them into a source of ominous disaster that people had to avoid.

However, this ominous branch is the source of disaster for others, but it is a priceless treasure for some people, especially the monks who practice the Great Way of Curse. Later, this branch fell into the hands of Cang Tianque, who used his eternal curse to refine the horrible ominousness and murderous intent on the surface of the branch, and refined the branch into a black bow.

As long as someone pulls the bow, the murderous intent and ominousness contained in the black bow will be drawn out, and turned into a sharp arrow, directly attacking the enemy's soul. It can be said that this Yuangu Killing Curse Bow is one of the most terrifying treasures in the Avenue of Curses. However, later on, Zang Tianque encountered problems when practicing the Eternal Curse, causing the curse to backfire on himself. He had no choice but to get an innate stone spirit and take over the body of that innate stone spirit, wanting to completely change his body and get rid of the backlash of his curse. It was also in the battle to capture the innate stone spirit that the Yuangu Killing Curse Bow was lost.

As for how this bow later came into the hands of this old saint, it is unknown to outsiders.

The reason why Zang Tianque was able to obtain a complete innate stone spirit was because of the power of the Yuangu Killing Curse Bow, which destroyed the spirit and true spirit of the innate stone spirit. Without the spirit and true spirit, only the body of the innate stone spirit remained, and Zang Tianque was able to successfully complete the task of taking over the body.

From this perspective, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Yuangu Killing Curse Bow is the nemesis of the Innate Stone Spirit.

However, there are many magical powers in this world that can ignore the physical body and directly attack the soul. Not to mention others, the Taiyin God-Slaying Divine Light mastered by Li Qingque is a great magical power that ignores the physical body and directly attacks the soul.

The Taiyin Killing God Light is a well-known great magical power in the prehistoric world. After all, the fact that it ignores the strength of the physical body is too terrifying.

There is also the Starlight Divine Water, which can occasionally dissolve the consciousness of the true spirit. It is also a magical treasure that can ignore the physical body and directly attack the soul.

Thinking of the Starlight Divine Water, Zhang Qian suddenly reacted. He remembered that the innate stone spirit that had cultivated an immortal body had directly cut off the Sky River and walked over. The Sky River contained a large amount of Starlight Divine Water, but the other party was unharmed and not affected at all.

What does this mean? It means that the opponent is not afraid of the ability of the Starlight Divine Water to erode the soul. In other words, after the opponent has cultivated an immortal Taoist body, the weaknesses of the soul may have disappeared and are no longer weaknesses. He is no longer afraid of magical powers and treasures such as the Taiyin God-Slaying Divine Light, the Starlight Divine Water, and so on.

This is not impossible. The twelve ancient witches in the prehistoric world took the path of achieving enlightenment through the physical body. In the end, the twelve ancient witches completely merged their souls with their physical bodies into one, making them inseparable. This is in disguised form, completely merging their souls with their physical bodies into one, and it is no longer a weakness.

It is precisely because of this that the Twelve Ancestral Witches were able to withstand the Taiyin God-Slaying Light, which was almost their nemesis. The innate goddess on the Taiyin star in the prehistoric world was born with control over the Taiyin God-Slaying Light.

"Could it be that the key to cultivating the Immortal Dao Body is to completely merge one's spirit and soul with the body, making them indistinguishable from each other, and to eliminate the weaknesses of the spirit and soul?"

Zhang Qian seemed to be thinking about something, but he would definitely not choose this path. Only a cultivator who wanted to turn to the path of achieving enlightenment through the physical body would make this choice.

Once the soul and the body are completely united, then the path to immortality is cut off. The path to immortality is mainly about refining the spirit, refining the void, and refining the Tao. The soul of the cultivator is the foundation of everything. The Human King should not care about this choice.

Just as Zhang Qian's mind was racing, the sharp sword shot out from the Yuangu Killing Curse Bow had already arrived in front of the Innate Stone Spirit. The strange thing was that this Innate Stone Spirit did not make any defensive moves, but just stared straight at the sword shooting towards him.

It was also because the speed of this sharp arrow was too fast, almost as fast as the speed of human thinking. In this world, it seemed that the speed of starlight was the fastest, and it was the limit allowed by the rules. However, there was another existence that was many times faster than starlight, and that was the speed of thinking.

Just like in Zhang Qian's thoughts, he could think of the prehistoric world in the previous moment, and his thoughts turned to the Xihuang world in the next moment. The transition in this moment can be completely regarded as the thoughts moving from the prehistoric world to the Xihuang world in an instant. This is the speed of thinking.

The speed of this sharp arrow is exactly the speed of thinking. Of course, with the improvement of his cultivation and his understanding of various Taoist principles, Zhang Qian knows that there is a faster thinking speed, which is the speed of cause and effect.

There is a result before there is a cause. Once a thought arises, the result is determined. Once the thought reaches the result, it will appear, no matter how far away it is, even if it is across the heavens and myriad worlds. This is the most terrifying speed.

Just as the old saint was looking at the sharp arrow hitting the innate stone spirit with hope, a crisp sound made him open his eyes wide.

The sharp arrow, which was filled with ominousness and murderous intent, was directly blocked without even scratching the skin of the innate stone spirit. It exploded directly into a ball of gray mist and eventually dissipated.

"impossible!"

The old Saint Lord looked at this scene in disbelief. You know, there is a price to pay for pulling the Yuangu Killing Curse Bow, and the old Saint Lord is not practicing the Great Way of Curse. When he shot this arrow, he consumed pure life span. This is why the old Saint Lord looked extremely exhausted after shooting the arrow.

He also knew that the Yuangu Killing Curse Bow had once killed an innate stone spirit, the same one that died at the hands of Zang Tianque.

But now, facing the same innate stone spirit, it didn't have any effect at all.

The innate stone spirit waved its hand to disperse the lingering gray fog, and grabbed the innate Shunyuan divine talisman in its hand.

The innate Hunyuan Divine Talisman vibrated violently in his hand, releasing the contained power of the world. The palms of the innate stone spirit were clanging, and its arms were shaking continuously. The innate stone spirit frowned, and then clasped his hands together, trying to completely suppress this innate spiritual treasure.

Seeing that the other party had seized his sect's innate spiritual treasure, the old saint's eyes suddenly turned red. This innate spiritual treasure was the source of the Tianxu Sect's Taoist tradition, the origin of the Way of Runes, and the old saint's hope to take a step further and completely cultivate the third level of the Way of Runes. How could it fall into the hands of others?

Bang!
He simply threw the black bow in his hand aside. It was not that he did not want to put it away, but this black bow was a terrible and ominous object. Once used, the black bow would continuously absorb life and vitality. After a while, the old saint even felt an inexplicable curse power enveloping him. Needless to say, it was caused by the black bow.
