Holy body, start with the Five Animal Exercises

264: Huangling RealmOn the border of the Central Domain, in a circular valley, hundreds of thousands of Emperor Ancestor Dynasty Heavenly Soldiers were stationed.

Above the circular valley, Qin Jiang stood suspended in the air, his gaze falling on the center of the valley.

It did not look like an ordinary valley; instead, it was a massive black cyclone. Its outer edges were grayish-white, becoming deeper toward the center until it turned pitch black.

At the center of the cyclone was a funnel-shaped depression. It wasn’t very large, with a diameter of less than ten meters, but its end was nowhere in sight. Even a Saint Lord Level existence extending their Divine Sense could not touch the bottom.

”Heavenly Sovereign, this is the vortex passage leading to the Reincarnation Great Domain. This is a map of the area around the Reincarnation Great Domain.” Beside him, the Imperial Preceptor handed over a beast-skin scroll.

Qin Jiang took it and opened it. It contained simple regional divisions and was incomplete, only marking five great domains, with unknown areas existing between some of them.

He looked to the left of the Reincarnation Great Domain at the area marked as the Yellow Spirit Great Domain, where one spot was circled in vermilion.

This was exactly where the Yellow Sky Divine Mother had been discovered, and also the place where the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign had fallen.

Without saying another word, his figure dove downward, plunging straight into the center of the vortex and vanishing in the blink of an eye.

The Imperial Preceptor watched Qin Jiang’s disappearing figure with a look of worry, but it was immediately crushed by a hint of killing intent.

He took out a communication talisman. ”Five Kings and Ten Generals, lead a million Heavenly Soldiers to set up the Emperor Ancestor Demon-Sealing Formation. Three Dukes and Twelve Guards, lead a million Heavenly Soldiers to set up the Heavenly Sovereign Sea-Treading Formation.”

A moment later, he put away the communication talisman and landed on the edge of the valley, quietly watching the passage. Various immortal lights flickered all around the outskirts of the valley.

With ten million Heavenly Soldiers stationed here, this time, even if an Immortal King were reborn, they would have to die here!

In the passage leading to the Underworld, Qin Jiang tried to extend his Immortal Sense, but all feedback indicated he was falling rapidly through the earth’s crust.

After about fifteen minutes, his field of vision suddenly brightened significantly. Specks of red fluorescence emerged from the surroundings, but because he was falling so fast, these points of light appeared as long streaks.

He casually caught a point of light in his palm. A transparent thread extended from the back of the light, connected to a frog-like creature.

However, compared to a frog, this creature had four pairs of small, cone-like horns on its head. The transparent thread extended from the tips of these four pairs of horns and was twisted into a single strand.

The Bright Spirit Horned Frog, the legendary messenger that guides the Souls of the dead, is a creature unique to the Reincarnation Great Domain.

This meant that he had already reached the territory of the Reincarnation Great Domain and should be nearing the bottom.

He released the Bright Spirit Horned Frog. It gave a strange cry, and the transparent threads on its head separated, drifting and coiling in the air like a small, dark red flower.

*Bang!*

The sound of smashing through clouds and mist echoed. The surrounding scenery changed slightly, replaced by a dark tone tinged with ethereal blue.

His falling figure stopped. Qin Jiang looked around; this was a vast underground space nearly a thousand meters high, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Embedded in the earth that served as the ceiling were ethereal blue crystals, emitting a bright, eerie blue glow.

Below was a layer of grayish-black clouds. They were thin, yet they consisted of Nether Qi from the Underworld so dense it was nearly solid.

It contained trace amounts of toxic gas; an ordinary True Martial Artist would die within three hours.

As he landed on the ground, the sound of earth and stone shifting rose at his feet. Ethereal blue plants burst through the soil, their cone-shaped flowers at the top stabbing directly toward Qin Jiang’s calves.

”Bang! Bang bang bang!”

A series of explosions rang out. Qin Jiang advanced toward the Yellow Spirit Great Domain. Everywhere he passed, all the ethereal blue plants shattered into powder, paving a shimmering blue path of light along the way.

Before long, he reached the border between the Yellow Spirit Great Domain and the Reincarnation Great Domain. Compared to the tranquility of the Reincarnation Great Domain, the Yellow Spirit Great Domain appeared much more chaotic.

Countless bronze-yellow air currents surged wildly within the domain, grinding all matter into grit. Even the slightly taller hills were being slowly leveled by the yellow winds.

Raising his hand slightly, two distinct masses of gas gathered in Qin Jiang’s palm—one bronze-yellow and one ethereal blue.

Carefully dissecting the energy within, he clearly felt that the two energies shared a certain essence at their core, yet their manifested characteristics were vastly different.

Without lingering, he stepped directly into the Yellow Spirit Great Domain. Almost the instant he set foot inside, the bronze currents throughout the entire Yellow Spirit Great Domain froze. Then, a faint bronze glow rose along the edges of the domain.

Qin Jiang immediately felt a sealing power pressing down, carrying a majesty akin to the Heavenly Dao.

He knew this was the power of the Earthly Dao belonging to the Underworld.

He took out the Heavenly Heart of the Yellow Sky Divine Mother from his spatial storage. The once-dim bronze heart now emitted a faint bronze light, and bronze air currents gushed from the vessel-like ruptures of the heart.

*Buzz...*

A clear resonance came from afar, pulling at the bronze heart to fly away, but held within Qin Jiang’s grip, it could not move an inch.

In terms of the Physical Body alone, he was already no inferior to a true Immortal King who had survived the Immortal King Tribulation.

He advanced in the direction of the pull. Before long, a massive bronze statue appeared in the distance.

With its feminine form, it was precisely the original body of the Yellow Sky Divine Mother.

Beneath her colossal true body, countless bronze statues were frantically attacking a figure—it was the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign.

At this moment, the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign held a dragon spear, wielding it with wide, sweeping strikes, releasing the ultimate aura of an Immortal Lord.

Without a doubt, he was also a master schemer who, like the Exquisite Immortal Lord, had condensed an Immortal King Body.

The so-called injury from the Immortal King Tribulation was likely just a facade.

Behind him, a dazzling yellow light shone, faintly taking the shape of a dragon—the manifestation of his Dao Laws.

When this yellow light completely transformed into the shape of a dragon, it would be the moment he attained the Dao of an Immortal King.

Of course, this was not something he could accomplish on his own; there would only be a slim chance of completing it during the Immortal King Tribulation.

Qin Jiang looked at the bronze statues besieging the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign. There were humanoid forms, beast forms, and some strange shapes he had never even seen before.

But without exception, every single one emitted an aura comparable to the Saint Lord Level.

If the humanoid lightning in a Heavenly Tribulation were Heavenly Dao Law lifeforms, then these bronze statues were Earthly Dao law lifeforms.

These were true Law lifeforms, assimilated by the Immortal King Dao Laws of the Yellow Sky Divine Mother, completely becoming her Puppets.

”Heavenly Sovereign, please lend me a hand! The Yellow Sky Divine Mother has not yet fully awakened; we still have a chance!”

The Emperor Ancestor Sovereign shouted. As the name ”Yellow Sky Divine Mother” was uttered, an inexplicable ripple descended, but it was immediately smashed by a swing of his spear.

Qin Jiang nodded slightly and pressed his palm down. A profound Heavenly Formation descended, primarily composed of platinum light, connecting with the Nether Qi in the Underworld.

For the Array Dao Heavenly Sovereign, whether it was Heavenly Dao Source Qi or Earthly Dao Nether Qi, they were essentially interconnected—merely forms of energy that could serve as a power source for a grand formation.

As the platinum grand formation pressed down, all the bronze statues seemed to fall into a quagmire, their speed slowing to a snail’s pace.

The Emperor Ancestor Sovereign did not miss the opportunity. He brandished his long spear, and dragon-shaped yellow light swept in all directions, smashing over half of the bronze statues into fragments.

However, it did not cause fatal damage. The fragments were constantly moving and fusing; it wouldn’t be long before they fully recovered.

In this situation, the only solution was to suppress the original body of the Yellow Sky Divine Mother.

Nevertheless, the pressure was temporarily relieved, and the Emperor Ancestor Sovereign strode forward, carrying his long spear.

”Heavenly Sovereign, it has been a long time!”
