When Xu Yuan returned to his fourth wife's side, carrying the legacy of the frog demon, "Broken Hand",
What he saw was his wife's somewhat vacant expression.
Her lips parted slightly, as if she wanted to ask something.
But she seemed reluctant or unable to speak.
"Don't worry, I'm not a reincarnated Bodhisattva—nor am I a Buddhist practitioner."
Xu Yuan just glanced at her, and he saw through her thoughts.
He spoke with a cheerful smile.
"You... what just happened..."
His fourth wife, at this moment, was stammering.
It must be said.
Her usually aloof demeanor had become increasingly cute and innocent around Xu Yuan recently.
"The Bilaruo Bodhisattva! ?"
However, she wasn't stupid.
In an instant, she guessed the source of the divine image Xu Yuan had just manifested.
"Yes."
Xu Yuan nodded: "I just refined the Bodhisattva's broken hand, so I gained some Buddhist skills."
Without revealing the existence of Feng Ling Yue Ying, this explanation was the most logical.
"Since this frog demon is quite strong, I'll give him a try."
Moreover, his words weren't entirely a lie.
He did intend to use this frog demon, Bolarigabo, to test his newly acquired Buddhist power.
And the results of the test were very satisfying.
"1000 Buddhist Power, capable of manifesting the Bodhisattva's image... its power is truly astonishing!"
He hadn't actually used any true supernatural abilities, just a casual palm strike.
He was able to instantly kill Bolarigabo.
Xu Yuan reflected on this.
If he hadn't used Buddhist power, and instead fought Bolarigabo head-on.
He might have been able to take down the opponent.
But he would most likely have been injured, and it wouldn't have been a quick battle!
After all, Bolarigabo wasn't an insect demon, he wouldn't be subdued by Xu Yuan's 'Qinxian Gucan' bloodline.
This demonstrates the immense power of the Bodhisattva's image.
Xu Yuan even doubted that.
Within those ten minutes where he had the Bodhisattva's image empowering him.
He might have been able to withstand a Demon King with his own true cultivation alone!
The only pity is that he can't use this freely.
After all, it's essentially the same as his "Heaven's Mandate" transformation.
Once exposed to many gods and Buddhas, it would be a huge problem.
"Such a thing..."
After hearing Xu Yuan's explanation.
His fourth wife was still a little incredulous.
Refining a Bodhisattva's broken hand can grant you their powers?
She naturally knew that this was absolutely not within the bounds of reason.
It was probably something that only her husband could do!
So at this moment, her heart instantly realized
That Xu Yuan didn't even hide this from her.
His trust in her was evident.
But with her fourth wife's temperament.
At this moment, she naturally wouldn't say any cliche words of gratitude.
So, she just looked at the left hand Xu Yuan was holding: "Time is of the essence - refine it immediately, I'll protect you!"
As the words left her lips.
She once again transformed into a cloud of demonic mist, sealing off the surrounding area.
Seeing this.
Xu Yuan couldn't help but admire.
Having a reliable helper was incredibly convenient.
He knew very well.
Without his fourth wife's assistance.
Obtaining or refining the Bilaruo Bodhisattva's hands would not have been so easy.
"I really didn't pick the wrong wife."
While he was admiring,
As his fourth wife had said.
Xu Yuan directly sat cross-legged on this cliff.
Then, just like last time.
He began to refine the [Buddha Hand · Left] in his hand!
[Absorbing the Spiritual Essence within the 'Buddha Hand · Left'... ]
Just like before.
Xu Yuan's Buddhist power, which had been completely drained, began to grow, quickly recovering to 1000 points.
Only this time.
The Wind Spirit Ancestor didn't unlock any new features.
However, Xu Yuan was not at all anxious.
He simply quietly felt the surge of his inner power.
He simply quietly realized the connection between his true spirit and the veins of heaven and earth.
Until a certain moment...
"Hum!"
Xu Yuan sensed the opportunity.
So...
"Boom!"
The erupting inner power shook the entire cliff!
"Rumble!"
"Rumble!"
Rocks fell, cobwebs scattered.
If it weren't for the demonic mist transformed by his fourth wife diligently concealing all traces of this phenomenon.
The entire Panshi Cave would have been shaking and swaying right now!
But at this moment, Xu Yuan couldn't care less.
Look at this...
"Hum!"
His inner power was circulating.
The aura around him was soaring.
And from his brow's ancestral aperture, the dantian's Dao aperture, and the central Yuan aperture.
There were streams of pure and boundless spiritual energy, born from the formless heaven and earth, flowing through his entire body.
That was... Immortal Qi!
Or it can also be called... Primordial Qi!
Cultivating a mouthful of Primordial Qi, you can traverse the three realms and four continents!
So, the next moment...
"Hum!"
The pure Immortal Qi actually transformed into an illusory fetus born from the Primordial.
It resided in his sea of consciousness, eternally gazing.
And just at this time.
"Whew!"
"Rumble!"
From Xu Yuan's body, there were sounds of wind, thunder, dragons, and tigers echoing.
His physical body, at this moment, seemed to become radiant with immortal light.
And the vastness of his inner power at this moment.
Compared to before, it was like a difference of heaven and earth!
And the next moment...
"..."
Xu Yuan opened his eyes.
At this moment, there were shimmering morning stars in his eyes.
"Golden Liquid Returns to Elixir, Fetus is Born, Dragons and Tigers Intertwine, Ascend to the Immortal Court!"
Feeling the Immortal Qi transformed into a fetus in his sea of consciousness.
Xu Yuan naturally knew what it was.
It was the 'Immortal Fetus', also known as the 'Dao Fetus' or 'Divine Consciousness'.
This meant that he had already reached the peak of the Returning Elixir realm.
This meant that he had already stepped onto the Immortal Path.
He was now among the immortals and gods.
"Bilaruo Bodhisattva... you are truly strong!"
But at this moment, Xu Yuan felt a sense of awe.
To be honest.
Before this action.
Although he had already guessed that the Bilaruo Bodhisattva might have perished.
He had never imagined.
That the spiritual essence contained within just two of the Bodhisattva's broken hands.
Could actually allow him to directly transcend from the peak of True Transformation to the Immortal Path.
While this may seem like a small realm.
But as the saying goes: How many cultivators have been destroyed by this tribulation, the Immortal Path has long been left empty and full of regret.
Below the Immortal Path and above the Immortal Path.
Have always been two different levels!
This demonstrates the strength of the Bilaruo Bodhisattva during her lifetime.
She was truly a 'Great Bodhisattva' of the Buddhist tradition, comparable to the Buddhist fruit of Buddhahood!
But such a top-level Buddhist Great Bodhisattva.
Was killed silently and without a trace, and until now, no one has even bothered to check.
"This world is too deep, although I have entered the Immortal Path... but I can't jump around too much."
Reflecting silently in his heart.
The next moment, Xu Yuan raised his eyes.
"Fourth Sister, it's done!"
As his words fell.
He saw his fourth wife's figure emerge from the demonic mist.
Only this time...
Her complexion had a sickly pallor.
It was quite obvious.
Just blocking Xu Yuan's breakthrough from spreading, it had already injured her!
Seeing this, Xu Yuan quickly rushed over to support her.
But before he could speak.
He heard his fourth wife's voice, filled with disbelief: "You... broke through..."
"Yes."
Xu Yuan didn't hesitate: "I have entered the Immortal Path."
As these words came out.
Even though his fourth wife had already guessed it.
She was still incredibly shocked as she looked at Xu Yuan.
Then...
She even forgot about her injuries.
Her heart was racing wildly.
She naturally knew the concept of stepping onto the Immortal Path.
It was the same realm as her mother and that senior disciple.
Among the demons of the Four Continents, she could be considered a King.
Among the immortals of the Three Realms, she could be called an Immortal True One.
Moreover, at this moment, his fourth wife suddenly realized a more crucial fact.
That is...
Xu Yuan had only been in Huang Hua Guan for five years!
Only five years, and he had already entered the Immortal Path.
Such talent, such cultivation speed.
Throughout ancient and modern times, even that Great Sage, Equal to Heaven... wouldn't be able to compare!
And most importantly.
Such a person was her husband!
He was the husband who promised to help her escape this cage and restore her freedom!
So, his fourth wife's bright eyes looked at Xu Yuan.
The water in her eyes shimmered, like moonlight.
