Outside of the ancient wood was a bustling port teeming with people, while inside, it was shrouded in various energies—thunder, venom, fire... intertwined together. Li Mo sat cross-legged in the center, with over a dozen flood dragons circling him, spitting out breaths of energy. The Great Wilderness Immortal Body absorbed all of it, while subtly modifying his flesh and bones, even developing organs that puzzled Li Mo himself. Li Mo couldn’t help but touch his throat. Within the hollow throat bones, a poison sac had appeared. "What the hell is this thing?" He focused his attention on examining the poison sac and discovered it was slowly absorbing toxins, which were then transformed into nutrients and assimilated as Innate Essence. Li Mo hesitated for a few moments before flipping open the Creation Book with his consciousness. The blank page imprinted the poison sac. Soon enough, a new divine skill called "Poison Eater" was cultivated, merging seamlessly into the Great Wilderness Immortal Body like a drop of water into the sea. The efficiency of Innate Essence growth increased by twenty percent. Li Mo couldn’t help but notice the wondrous capabilities of the Great Wilderness Immortal Body. It continually gave rise to organs that were beyond ordinary comprehension, which could be strengthened through imprints to enhance the Immortal Body. By coincidence, during the Void Refining Stage, thirty-five blank pages became available, prompting him to consider suitable organs for imprinting. "No rush for the Three Pure Heavens; meanwhile, the port’s size keeps ballooning by the day." After confirming that nothing unusual was occurring at the Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater, Li Mo resumed his Void Refining Stage cultivation. The progress of the Fake Void Realm exceeded expectations. Perhaps it was due to the resources from the Corpse Mountain Mini World. Even with the port’s two million inhabitants, the consumption level remained manageable. Time passed, and Li Mo deepened his understanding of the Void Realm. Li Mo frowned slightly. What surprised him was that after the Buddha Demon Dharma Body advanced to the Void Refining Stage, no new artifacts were born—it still remained as a pair of yin-yang treasure bottles. "It seems the Buddha Demon Dharma Body falls short; perhaps the connection with the Great Wilderness Immortal Body is too superficial," "I must see whether communication with the Immortal Body can facilitate the creation of artifacts." Li Mo’s current situation mirrored his state when he first departed the No-Life Sect. Although he possessed the Great Wilderness Immortal Body, he lacked methods to purposefully exploit it. The Great Wilderness Immortal Body was certainly more than just refining the physical body, but reliable records about it were scarce. Li Mo had no choice but to pin his hopes on the Buddha Demon Dharma Body. Unfortunately, it seemed incomprehensible in the short term, as the Great Wilderness Immortal Body had been rarely encountered in the mortal world for tens of thousands of years. An ephemeral fluctuation of the Corpse Mountain Blood Sea Array flickered within the Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater, leaving intricate patterns on the rock walls. The Mother Furnace and phosphorescence fused into one Mixed Element form, with no trace of energy leaking outward. The Corpse Mountain Blood Sea Array had been completed, needing only minor corrections. Li Mo moved his thoughts; tens of thousands of Spider Sword Orbs surged from the ancient wood, burrowing into the rock walls under the reverent gazes of nearby cultivators. The Spider Sword Orbs nested within the rock walls. A formation alone wasn’t enough to fend off the Three Pure Heavens; the Spider Sword Orbs and cancer cells complemented and filled part of the gap. Li Mo hung the remaining hundreds of internal organs on the branches of the ancient wood. A loose cultivator marveled, "If the Dao had form, it must be this grand, right?" Another affirmed, "The Immortal Wood is the Dao." "It’s the Dao that records organs. As long as we follow Daoist Qingtian upward, we’ll eventually glimpse the true Dao." The speaker was a childhood cultivator whose cultivation hadn’t even reached Foundation Establishment elsewhere, surely subject to ridicule otherwise. But the port was different. Every cultivator wore a look of agreement. Anyone who had transplanted organs could notice the changes in themselves, unconsciously hastening the formation of the Acquired Dao Body. Having a Void Refining Stage cultivator like Li Mo present. It was clear that the Immortal Creation Technique was a direct path to Land Immortality; it was hard to fathom Li Mo would give it away for free. As Li Mo focused on cultivation, he received a transmission from the Old Earth True Monarch. "Qingtian, we have a matter to discuss with you." The Old Earth True Monarch and other artifact cultivators had recently advanced to Core Formation Stage, having spent eight years. Li Mo had long anticipated their arrival. "Please come in, seniors." Li Mo lifted the restriction on Spirit Root Worms, allowing a dozen figures to enter the ancient wood. Once inside, they instantly sensed the overwhelming variety of energies surrounding them. Even residual waves were unbearable. "Feel free to speak, esteemed seniors." Li Mo paused the refinement of his Great Wilderness Immortal Body and retracted his energy, rising to his feet. The Old Earth True Monarch took a deep breath; encountering Li Mo felt surreal, as if Daoist Qingtian had only just joined the Sub-Device Sect. Fan Mu hesitated briefly and then took the lead in speaking: "Qingtian, is the creation of artifact cultivators necessarily dependent on the Mother Furnace? Is there no alternative?" "At least not for now. The Mother Furnace involves Nine Nether Immortal Energy, and as you all know, it’s not of the mortal realm." Li Mo had long awaited the Sub-Device Sect to lay their concerns bare. Since his first return to the Heart Beast Sect, he had completely controlled the sect, with Tian Changwen holding nothing back from him. The Sub-Device Sect, however, had been different. In name, Li Mo was still a disciple of the Chaotic Burial Furnace. Fan Mu smiled bitterly, saying, "Will the lives of artifact cultivators..." "Rest assured, they’re no longer tied to the Mother Furnace. But if you perish within the range of the Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater, you’ll still be re-forged in the Supreme Furnace." Li Mo revealed everything without reservation, easing the expressions of some artifact cultivators. They could faintly infer that Li Mo wasn’t originally from the Sub-Device Sect; many clues were blatantly obvious and surfaced with minimal investigation. Given Li Mo’s strength exceeding imagination, they naturally worried about the possibility of the Sub-Device Sect being abandoned. The Old Earth True Monarch laughed, "Fan Mu, you’re being overly polite. Qingtian is our Daoist of the Sub-Device Sect and the only Void Refining Stage cultivator in ten thousand years. Feel free to speak openly." "We’ve deliberated for several days..." The Old Earth True Monarch scanned the surroundings, seeing no objections from the artifact cultivators. "We hope to merge the Sub-Device Sect and the Heart Beast Sect." Li Mo feigned surprise on the surface but was not the least bit shocked internally. Their shared cultivation of the Immortal Creation Technique had unleashed the Heart Beast Sect’s unparalleled potential, vastly outperforming the Sub-Device Sect—not in individual cultivator prowess but in the terrifying inclusiveness of the Heart Beast Sect. The Heart Beast Sect could spread the Immortal Creation Technique to the black markets of the Cultivation World through the Four Seas Commerce as soon as it left the port. The Old Earth True Monarch could already imagine the Heart Beast Sect expanding to unimaginable proportions. Becoming one of the foremost large sects was not a pipe dream. As for the Sub-Device Sect? With its annual yield of artifact embryos dependent on the Mother Furnace, it would take millennia to accumulate enough to become a large sect. Yet, the artifact cultivators also recognized the complementarity between the Sub-Device Sect and the Heart Beast Sect. Each batch of artifact embryos from the Supreme Furnace yielded large quantities of Wuzhi Feipei, perfect for use as organ materials in the Immortal Creation Technique. The Sub-Device Sect’s re-forging system also ensured the sect’s longevity. An eternal sect that couldn’t be extinguished was truly terrifying. Even the Heavenly Sword Sect faced succession gaps within the Twenty-Eight Sword Tombs. Of course, the primary driver behind the merger was the unification of Taoist inheritance. Li Mo didn’t bother with pretense, directly saying, "Merging the sects is fine; the Heart Beast Sect won’t refuse." The Old Earth True Monarch heaved a sigh of relief. They didn’t hold much attachment to the Sub-Device Sect’s Taoist inheritance, as before Li Mo’s involvement, the Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater was merely a cage. Li Mo sent a transmission to Tian Changwen, who soon arrived at the ancient wood. Tian Changwen no longer held his previous plump figure. After transplanting a Core Formation Stage armored beast’s giant stomach, his body had shrunk tenfold during its dormant state. "Dear colleagues from the Sub-Device Sect, this merger shows great respect for the Heart Beast Sect. It’s perfectly fine to prioritize you as the leading sect." Tian Changwen spoke elegantly—flattering words knew no bounds, though with Li Mo present, it was clear the sects wouldn’t have separate hierarchies. Nevertheless, such remarks won favor. The Thousand-Year-Old Man stroked his white beard, saying, "No, no, Tian Daoist is quite skilled. It’s clear the Heart Beast Sect is destined to thrive." The tense atmosphere was lifted, and even the arriving Nascent Soul Beast Cultivators joined in cordial conversation. The merger of the sects became a settled matter. After some thought, Li Mo said solemnly, "As for the name of the merged sect, ’Immortal Creation’ isn’t suitable. Let it be named ’Creation Sect.’" Once the sects merged, not even word-to-law curses aimed at the Heart Beast Sect or Sub-Device Sect could harm their foundations. As Li Mo spoke, a wisp of Buddha Demon Spirit Power slipped from his fingertips. Tian Changwen nodded slightly and was about to echo Li Mo’s words when he realized he couldn’t utter "Creation Sect." The other cultivators faced the same issue. Though they knew the sect’s name, their minds seemed to stall as they tried to speak it. "This is a spell I cast due to certain calamities tied to the Three Pure Heavens. For now, the sect’s new name cannot be publicly disclosed." Li Mo had to admit that the Buddhist Sect’s techniques of conversion were remarkably effective. With the Buddhist Sect virtually extinct in the mortal world, it ensured that few could break through the spell of conversion. The cultivators exchanged looks but refrained from querying further details—the Three Pure Heavens were beyond their grasp. Li Mo touched his brow lightly, transmitting a proclamation to the minds of two million cultivators. "Heart Beast and Sub-Device, both now branches of my newly established Creation Sect. Anyone with ability may join. The words of Daoist Qingtian." A moment of stunned silence swept the port, followed by deafening cheers. Li Mo’s announcement promised inclusion without discrimination. Until the port reopened, everyone had a chance to apprentice under him. A sect that officially didn’t exist was founded within the Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater. The cultivators hurriedly left the ancient wood. Artifact cultivators returned to secluded cultivation, striving toward the Nascent Soul Stage, while Tian Changwen handled sect affairs, including rules, magic inheritance, and branch divisions... The port flourished, and the methods of beast cultivation and artifact cultivation began to blend into the Immortal Creation Technique. Before anyone realized it, fifty years had passed. Li Mo didn’t rush to study the immortal ladder summoned by the Mother Furnace, choosing instead to delay the Ascension Conference. For him, fifty years wasn’t a significant span; his cultivation hadn’t progressed much, though his Mud Pill Palace had birthed a True Dragon Flying Sword. The port had transformed dramatically, with forty-eight Nascent Soul Stage cultivators arising from the Heart Beast lineage. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱 The Sub-Device lineage was yet to regain its former glory, though many artifact cultivators had achieved Perfect Core Formation Stage. As for the Three Pure Heavens, they seemed to have forgotten the existence of the Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater, showing no signs of movement, as if the Karma Seal Mother was negligible. The ground shook violently, with fissures spreading along the rock walls. The tremors lasted ten days before ceasing. "Has the sky fallen?" Li Mo calmly observed the crater’s entrance. The desolate plains outside were nowhere to be seen; through the Cave God’s Dharma Eye, all he saw was flesh. It was as if the Outer Heaven Meteorite Crater had been buried under hundreds of blood-and-flesh-formed mountains.
