Li Mo did not name the Taoist inheritance, but soon the term "Immortal Creation" began to spread around the port, and it was tacitly accepted by the cultivators of the two sects. The Great Miao Method of Immortal Creation—just the resounding title alone reveals the reverence of all cultivators. For a long time, loose cultivators at the port had a habit of organ modification, not solely to adapt to the industrial fumes of the Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater but more so because the mortal body itself would inevitably decay. No one could escape the erosion of the Death Disease. It was impractical to waste Spirit Stones on suppressing the disease with Corpse Wine; it was more economical to save those resources for enhancing one’s cultivation realm. As a result, medical halls specializing in organ transplantation were everywhere in the port. In the perception of cultivators, once the internal organs rotted away entirely, it was better to simply replace them with fresh ones at a medical hall. The cost was not exorbitant. The purpose of fresh organs was straightforward: to sustain the vitality of the body so the Death Disease would not affect critical organs, such as the brain or dantian. Then one day, news spread. The Taoist inheritance established at the port by Daoist Qingtian could transform one’s internal organs into Immortal Bones, not only eliminating the erosion of the Death Disease but also providing indescribable benefits to cultivation. How could the loose cultivators not go mad with excitement? This was an unparalleled providence, a straight path to the Great Dao!!! After the debut of the "Golden Artifact Heart," tens of thousands of loose cultivators had already attempted it, and the related spiritual materials were auctioned to sky-high prices. The threshold for organ modification was extremely low, with two entry methods available. If less than 50% of one’s organs were decayed, one could consume Spiritual Material Powder and use Spiritual Power to mutate the heart. Alternatively, one could visit a shop where cultivators skilled in medical techniques were already selling the finished products. After all, the process of modifying childhood-stage organs wasn’t too complex. Transplanting modified organs required compatibility with the spirit attribute, along with a period of adaptation. For higher-level organ upgrades, the conditions became increasingly stringent. For instance, the "Gold Melting Three Days," a branch of the Golden Artifact Heart designed for Core Formation Stage organs, required the cultivator to possess an Innate Taoist Body with a Gold and Fire attribute to adapt. The Gold Melting Three Days would construct three Glazed Glass Hearts within the body, containing pure Yang Fire, capable of propelling metallic, liquid-like flames. If outsiders witnessed it, they would undoubtedly be astounded beyond measure. This was because Li Mo’s organ modification creations had already involved "Dao Body Application" at the Core Formation Stage. Similar techniques had always been exclusive to large sects; for example, the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Sword Intent and Sword Body Core were designed to manifest Dao Body into magical techniques. Medium-sized sects had methods for cultivating the Acquired Dao Body, but their understanding of Dao Bodies was very primitive. Most of their reliance on Dao Bodies was limited to exploiting the innate boosts they provided for realm breakthroughs. The advantages of Artifact Cultivators and Beast Cultivators were fully unleashed after practicing the Great Miao Method of Immortal Creation. It wasn’t an exaggeration to call them Innately Modified Bodies. Ordinary cultivators practicing the Miao Method of Immortal Creation needed to progress one cultivation realm at a time. However, Artifact Cultivators could directly transplant limbs of the same cultivation realm. Their ability to disassemble and reassemble on demand allowed them to bypass the downsides of forcibly controlling transplanted limbs. Moreover, modified limbs no longer faced the corrosion caused by melting furnaces, unlike the old Meat Limb Magical Artifacts. Artifact Cultivators effectively had four interchangeable organ slots. Some Artifact Cultivators were even experimenting with transplanting their Five Internal Organs into their limbs. From Li Mo’s perspective, this was still feasible. As for Beast Cultivators, the situation was even more favorable. Their Lifebound Spirit Beasts could seamlessly integrate any transplanted organs. Currently, the most commonly transplanted organ among Spirit Beasts was called the "Spirit Seed Dantian." Although it was only of Weak Crown Period level, it was affordable for most cultivators. The Spirit Seed Dantian could autonomously absorb external Spiritual Energy, immediately transforming the Lifebound Spirit Beast into a Spirit Root. When paired with the Weak Crown Period’s "Spirit Absorption Giant Stomach," the Lifebound Spirit Beast could even store Spiritual Energy, yielding immense profit if used for trade. Li Mo’s Great Miao Method of Immortal Creation astonished all cultivators, who regarded him as a Heavenly Person. The once unattainable Dao Body paled in comparison to the synergistic advantages of modified organs—not to mention that undesirable organs could still be removed at will. Of course, they were unaware that modified organs essentially already constituted Acquired Dao Bodies. What kind of unparalleled talent and comprehension could create such an astounding Taoist inheritance? Calling him the reincarnation of a Demoted Immortal scarcely sufficed. Among the whispers at the port, Li Mo was already likened to a Taoist Ancestor. Some even claimed that the Great Miao Method of Immortal Creation used Li Mo’s own organs as templates, with Daoist Qingtian being an unprecedented Immortal manifesting among mortals. After Li Mo’s reputation at the port reached its zenith, no one questioned the tasks he issued anymore. Even when the rewards for these tasks were modest, countless cultivators willingly risked their lives. If not for Li Mo still being alive, they would have sculpted a Divine Statue of him by now. It was foreseeable that once the port returned to the mortal world, the Great Miao Method of Immortal Creation would undoubtedly cause massive waves in the Cultivation World, and countless loose cultivators would inevitably revere Li Mo as an undisputed figure. The Heart Beast Sect seized the opportunity to recruit Outer Disciples en masse. Among the loose cultivators, many were exceptionally talented but had been indistinguishable from the masses without a Dao Body. The Great Miao Method of Immortal Creation allowed them to rise above the crowd. They all worshiped Li Mo as a Taoist Ancestor; how could they refuse the Heart Beast Sect’s invitation? It was not uncommon for hundreds to fight, leaving themselves battered and bloody, for a chance to gain the status of an Outer Disciple of the Heart Beast Sect. Originally numbering only 15,000 members, the Heart Beast Sect suddenly expanded to over 100,000. Keep in mind that 90,000 Outer Disciples were far from being mere mortals just entering the sect; the vast amount of resources needed to train them was staggering. The loose cultivators that passed through the selection process were at least in the Weak Crown Period, with some even already reaching Perfection. Beast Cultivation Methods did not require them to dispel and restart their cultivation. The Heart Beast Sect was no longer what it once was. Under the leadership of Tian Changwen, a Nascent Soul Beast Cultivator, the sect had spent centuries exploring Lifebound Spirit Beast techniques. With the resources provided by Li Mo, once the Heart Beast Sect completed consolidating its foundation at the port, its departure from the Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater would mark a surge in its influence. "Hehehe, all that remains is navigating the troubles of the Three Pure Heavens." Updates are released by 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩 Li Mo observed the flourishing state of the port. Every few days, a cultivator reached Core Formation. After the Heart Beast Sect absorbed 600,000 loose cultivators, it should be able to rival the Sub-Device Sect. Although the two sects might still seem insignificant compared to major forces, before the impending upheaval in heaven and earth repeated itself, they were bound to grow into large-scale sects. Li Mo’s confidence increased by an additional 30%. "Heh, no matter how powerful the Heavenly Sword Sect is, it has nothing to do with me. The Twenty-Eight Sword Tombs are filled with Fish Dragons and ancient cultivators. Even becoming an Inner Sect Chief doesn’t guarantee any real say in the matter." "Besides, with the Heavenly Sword Sect’s reputation, it’s bound to be the primary target during the heavenly and earthly upheaval." Li Mo understood the fate of the demon race well. By comparison, the Sub-Device Sect was almost obscure. The Heart Beast Sect was primarily known among the mortals in nearby regions. However, before Tian Changwen offered his support to the Sub-Device Sect, he had already sent the mortals to the True Void Hometown. Li Mo let out a sinister laugh, accepting the lung handed to him by the Spider Sword Orb. "A Wood-element childhood-stage lung—hmm, let’s call it the ’Bridge Wood Lung.’" Out of 198 Taoist inheritance techniques, Li Mo had already completed more than half. Far from running out of inspiration, his progress was becoming increasingly smooth. The only difficulty was naming the modified organs. The ancient wood sustaining the Great Miao Method of Immortal Creation was already bearing abundant fruit. Its branches were laden with bizarre organs, and countless cultivators meditated beneath it, seeking enlightenment. The ancient wood had been transformed by Spirit Root Worms and also served as the Array Eye. Li Mo intended to mimic the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Mountain Protection Array, opting not to use inanimate objects as the array’s core. The Spirit Root Worms could empower the array to Divine Separation Stage Perfection. Once the Corpse Mountain achieved the level of a Spiritual Treasure and the dual Array Eyes were established, the array would rival that of a Void Refining Stage formation. The formation did not use the Nine Curves Chain Formation but instead employed the newly created "Corpse Mountain Blood Sea Array," mainly to prevent the Mother Furnace from becoming a vulnerability. The Corpse Mountain Blood Sea Array would give the Mother Furnace an inexhaustible self-healing capacity. The array was taking shape. With the assistance of the Mother Furnace, it had reached a preliminary form within half a year, and Li Mo estimated it would fully mature within ten years. As Li Mo drew upon various types of Dao Bodies, his speed in creating modification methods grew exponentially. When more than 400,000 organs hung from the branches, the ancient wood’s size had surpassed a kilometer, and the port had expanded to 36 layers around it. "What’s the situation outside the Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater? It feels unusually calm, almost too calm." Li Mo cast the Cave God’s Eye spell, his Divine Sense peering through the rock walls toward the outside world, but he could only faintly glimpse a barren wasteland. "No matter, I’ll respond to all changes by staying the same." As long as Li Mo remained in the Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater, he was in an invincible position. If worse came to worst, he could simply evacuate with the port, tactically retreating. Venturing into the outside world, however, would only risk falling into the traps of the Three Pure Heavens. "Hehehe, I’ve already obtained the Body Integration Realm techniques from the No-Life Mother. Even dragging this out for another five or six millennia has no downside." As for the techniques for the Symbiotic Dharma Body and the Artifact Pill Body, he might solve the problem by killing a few cultivators from the Three Pure Heavens. After stabilizing his cultivation, Li Mo immediately dedicated himself to the Void Refining Stage cultivation. The Void Refining Stage was divided into three realms. The initial stage, "Fake Void Realm," marked the rudimentary formation of the Void Realm. At present, the Purgatory Pure Land was still quite fragile, requiring the dantian to be filled with corresponding spiritual materials until the Void Realm expanded to its utmost size. The next stage was "Existential Realm." At this point, the Void Realm no longer consumed spiritual materials, but the Externalized Dharma Body needed to sacrifice blood, flesh, and bones, forging greater unity between the Void Realm and the Dharma Body. The final stage was "Offshore Realm." As the name suggests, the grip of the mortal world on the cultivator began to weaken, and the Externalized Dharma Body no longer depended on Spiritual Energy cultivation. In the late stage of Void Refining, the Offshore Realm presented two completely different paths. If one abandoned the physical body, the Externalized Dharma Body would have to integrate all Spiritual Power into the Void Realm, prioritizing the Void Realm in cultivation and making the Dharma Body secondary. If one preserved the physical body, the Void Realm had to merge completely with the dantian. The Externalized Dharma Body would still reign supreme over the Void Realm. Li Mo’s perspective was limited; he could not discern which path was superior. However, abandoning the physical body made retaining all three Dharma Bodies impossible. "Still, the ancient cultivation world never spoke of anyone voluntarily abandoning their physical body." The so-called Land Immortals without physical bodies were referred to as "Ghost Immortals" ten thousand years ago, unable to ascend to the Immortal Realm, merely lingering on the brink of existence. Li Mo swept his gaze across the Corpse Mountain Mini World. Then, he poured the Yin Yang spiritual materials prepared by the Plant and Tree Cultivators into the Purgatory Pure Land. Malevolent ghosts abandoned their Blood and Flesh Pillars, devouring the spiritual materials in frenzy, their bodies swelling rapidly. Horns sprouted on their foreheads, teeth sharpening to savage points. The Buddhas grinned rather than frowned. They chanted the Buddhist Sutras zealously, the karmic merit from subduing these malevolent ghosts surging even higher, their kasayas now adorned with Seven Treasures spiritual materials, dazzlingly resplendent. "Unlike the Dao Dispersed, whose loss empowers the Demonic, the Buddha and Demon are inherently complementary." "Not bad, not bad. The path of Dharma Body fusion is on the right track."
