Follow the path of Dao from infancy - Chapter 672 Divine Blood Body, The Sword God War Commences (Two in One)

During these days, through idle chats with alchemists like Lin Shanhai, Li Hao gained a deeper understanding of Incense Fire and many matters related to Saints.

It is not something ordinary people can bear, as it requires a Taoist Body Great Accomplishment!

In this period, his Dao Power constantly transformed, filling all his acupuncture points and main channels, so that his Taoist Body now rivaled that of the Dao Law Realm at Perfection.

And after attaining perfection in the Dao Law Realm, the next step was to begin accumulating Incense Fire.

This power of Incense Fire gathered in Li Hao’s body without any barriers, slowly settling and transforming into dust-like particles of incense, accumulating within his body and slowly condensing into a soybean-sized granule.

This granule was the initial form of a stick of incense.

To become a Saint, one must aggregate the power of three sticks of Incense Fire within the body!

At present, the absorbed Incense Fire has only condensed into about one-tenth of a stick of incense in his body.

This was because he had only recently achieved Taoist Body Perfection, and began to perceive and receive Incense Fire, which was the precipitation and accumulation from before.

Emperor Yu had once promised him that he would transfer the Great Yu Incense Fire to him after ten years.

Li Hao had been fleeing in the void for ten years, which corresponded to a hundred years in the Mortal World.

With the Taoist Body reaching perfection, these ninety-plus years of accumulated Incense Fire had all gathered and only then condensed into a granule the size of a soybean.

After the previously accumulated Incense Fire rushed over all at once, the subsequent Incense Fires that continued to come, did not have the previous torrential momentum, but they still arrived like threads and wisps, every single day.

Li Hao had not expected that the power of Incense Fire could actually pass through the Immortal Gate and come from the Mortal World to the Land of All Saints without obstruction.

This power truly was capable of turning one into a Saint!

At the current rate of accumulation, he could lie flat for three hundred years and then condense into a Saint.

These three hundred years in the Land of All Saints would equate to three thousand years in the Mortal World.

Three thousand years of Incense Fire cultivation producing a Saint was a relatively fast pace, mainly because the population of the Dayu Divine Dynasty was large, ranking as a middle-rank Divine Dynasty among the entire Donghuang.

If it were the smaller nations surrounding Dayu, it might take seven or eight thousand years, or even upwards of ten thousand years, for their people’s belief and faith to cultivate a Saint.

This was also why those smaller nations had no Saints since ancient times.

After all, cultivating just one person over seven or eight thousand years was nearly impossible.

The turnover of power, court struggles, Heavenly Disasters, and other calamities would cause gaps in belief.

Absorbing the drifts of daily Incense Fire, Li Hao couldn’t help but miss the Mortal World.

The Incense Fire was extremely precious, yet Emperor Yu did not break his promise.

Even for Saints, Incense Fire was a beneficial boon, so Saints would teach their ways and gather beliefs.

Now, Li Hao could also utilize the Incense Fire he absorbed. He only needed to ignite it with Divine Thought, but once ignited and consumed, it would vanish. Below the level of a Saint, it was a desperate measure reserved for life-or-death struggles.

Usually, being forced to burn Incense Fire in battle meant a death feud that could not end until one side was extinct.

After becoming a Saint, three sticks of Incense Fire could endure indefinitely. Even if ignited, they would be enveloped by the Saint Path, unceasing and everlasting, like steam inside a sealed boiler, cycling endlessly.

Only then could one truly mobilize the power of Incense Fire for battle at will. Before that point, one could only accumulate, not use.

Now, with the Great Accomplishment of his Taoist Body, Li Hao’s physical body had condensed to an extremely horrifying extent. He practiced the Physical Body Dao, and his bones, blood, and physical body were his Dao, capable of withstanding Divine Skills simply with his physical form.

However, the Physical Body Dao had its flaws; it meant that Li Hao could not achieve instant manifestation of laws with spoken words.

Put simply, although he had reached Perfection in the Dao Law Realm, in some ways, he had not.

Indeed.

The Physical Body Dao is the path of Body Refinement, essentially condensing the Dao Power and laws inside one’s body.

To manifest laws with a word, Li Hao still needed to raise his Control Dao to the Ninth Stage, allowing him to call the winds and summon the rain, and to reverse the flow of rivers with a thought.

When he achieved Great Accomplishment and Perfection of the Taoist Body, Li Hao discovered that his Physical Body Strength had not increased further.

Without entering the Divine Power State, his normal physical strength remained at tens of millions of pounds, only fluctuating slightly, which appears to be the limit of the physical body.

At this moment, Li Hao also realized for the first time what “There is a limit to human effort” meant.

This was no longer a problem that cultivation could resolve but a limitation of life itself.

Like a bottle filled with water, adding any more would cause it to overflow.

And so it was with the physical body; no matter how much more one cultivated or practiced Body Refinement, it would only impart varying effects of Body Refinement. However, his own physical body had already reached its peak, amounting to “becoming a God with the physical body.”

“The Final Realm… To cultivate to this point, is to reach the end!”

Maximal effort could take something to the utmost.

But this is the limit of effort and not the limit of the thing itself because, in this world, the vast majority of things are unreachable despite effort.

The Final Realm represents the ultimate boundary of a thing itself. Even if one followed the most perfect path, there would be no more paths to take, because there would be no paths left.

However, although the constant strength of ten million pounds had become fixed, with the Divine Power State, he could still temporarily unleash ten times that strength. Now, with Dao Power integrated, the Taoist Body at Perfection, if combined with Dao Power, the force he could unleash became even more terrifying, capable of easily shattering mountains and ripping through the earth with his fists and kicks.

Most importantly, with Dao Power spread throughout his body, it enabled Li Hao to disregard others’ methods, overpowering all laws with sheer strength.

However, Li Hao felt that the current Perfection of his Taoist Body was not yet the limit for himself.

Perhaps it was because of the Divine Blood within him that post-Taoist Body Perfection, he could continue to absorb and transform Dao Power, infusing this power into his Divine Blood.

The Divine Blood acted like a sponge, absorbing a vast amount of Dao Power, allowing him to withstand transformations of Dao Power far surpassing other beings in the Tao Comprehension Realm.
