Marquis Liegu Gao Zhengjie let out a low shout, and with a wave of his hand, all the beasts surged. With each illusory beast entering his body, his aura increased by one point, eventually even surpassing that of the previous Duke Tianning.

All these secret techniques that temporarily boost strength come at a price, but at this moment, after his natal demon beast perished, Gao Zhengjie held nothing back and was completely fighting for his life.

Marquis Tuodong and Marquis Zhaoyuan also took action, but the half-crippled Duke Tianning hid in the distance. Fearing that he would be in danger, Gao Wenyuan disregarded everything and forcibly intervened to exchange his life with him.

Gao Wenyuan did not move and remained standing on Wansui Mountain.

His body remained as small as ever, just as he had said, that he had never actually built the so-called "colossus".

But faced with the immense pressure emanating from Duke Yanshan, his expression turned serious for the first time.

He did not summon his own domain again, but simply extended his finger and touched his brow.

In an instant, a golden light rose from the top of Gao Wenyuan's head, and a life-sized Dharma image, clearly resembling Gao Wenyuan, appeared within it. The semi-ethereal Dharma image was divided into nine parts, each area surrounded by stars, forming a giant eye. The nine eyes had different expressions, but all were incredibly profound, as if they had experienced the vicissitudes of life and reflected the color of wisdom.

"Soul Dharma Form!"

Faced with this golden, god-like Dharma image, Marquis Yongye and the others felt their hair stand on end, while Han Chi was so shocked that he cried out.

What is the spiritual form?

Even the Duke of Tianning, who was hiding in the distance, was somewhat bewildered and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Mountains and seas are the beginning of martial arts, and taboos are the pinnacle of martial arts... You must have all heard this proverb from the mouth of a great emperor."

Han Chi was still somewhat stunned, but he still spoke in a low voice.

Everyone nodded in agreement. Although the forbidden realm is extremely difficult and few people throughout history have been able to reach the top, truly ambitious martial artists will still pursue higher levels of the forbidden realm within their capabilities.

This is not just a matter of combat strength; it often determines the height one can reach after breaking through the ranks of kings and nobles.

The reason why Wu Jun was able to open the Heavenly Gate in one fell swoop is because before breaking through to the King level, he was already a Mountain and Sea Realm cultivator with the sixth level of Yuan Power Restriction. This is the importance of a solid foundation.

"But actually, there is a second part to that statement: any forbidden area, once taken to its extreme, will inevitably undergo abnormal changes."

Han Chi transmitted his words directly using his mental power, and in an instant, everyone heard his entire speech.

"The Nine Forbidden Restrictions of the Physical Body correspond to the Chasing the Sun and the Sea of ​​the Heavenly Dao. Once all nine restrictions are fulfilled, one can obtain the Golden Body of the Great Sun, shining as brightly as the sun and moon, immortal and indestructible, reborn from a drop of blood, as if absorbing the power of a star into one's own body... In terms of vitality alone, even a Martial King might not be able to compare!"

"The Nine Forbidden Restrictions of Yuan Power correspond to the Moon-Treading Mountain and Sea of ​​the Earthly Dao. Once all nine restrictions are completed, one can obtain the power of life and death. With a wave of the hand, all things wither and flourish, like the waxing and waning of the moon, all in a single thought. Legend has it that it is the supreme power second only to the power of chaos!"

"The Nine Forbidden Restrictions of Spiritual Power correspond to the pursuit of stars and mountains in the human path. When all nine restrictions are fulfilled, one can obtain... a soul dharma form!"

At this point, Han Chi paused slightly before continuing.

"The soul's Dharma form encompasses all the stars and phenomena within its heart, enabling it to deduce the ultimate changes of the heavens and understand all paths. As long as the Dharma form is undying, the soul is immortal, which is equivalent to immortality."

Meanwhile, the bodies of Yongye Hou and the others were already trembling violently, and their minds were in a state of chaos.

The amount of information revealed in Han Chi's words was enormous, and some of it was even enough to overturn the understanding of 99% of the martial artists in the world at that time.

Everyone has always known that there are three types of mountains and seas, but they are just different "paths" they follow. No one has ever associated these three types of mountains and seas with the ultimate forbidden realm.

Perhaps even if an ordinary martial artist comprehends this, it won't be of any use, since the difficulties of the forbidden realm have nothing to do with personal choices.

Just like the enlightenment method, it naturally filters out those martial artists who do not have talent.

What's truly frightening is the other layer of meaning revealed in Han Chi's words.

At the pinnacle of the three forbidden paths, great supernatural powers will be born.

Jiang Huan has proven with facts that he, with only the Nine Forbidden Mountains and Seas, can rival a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

It turns out that his real ceremonial regalia was the Great Sun Golden Body.

The power of birth and death sounds equally mysterious, clearly surpassing the power of stars... You must know that even the Great Emperor only circulates a more condensed power of stars within his body.

But the soul's form...

Everyone heard Han Chi's exclamation.

Gao Wenyuan is currently unleashing his Soul Dharma Form!

Doesn't this mean that... he has reached the pinnacle of mental strength and has also entered the legendary level of "Peak"?

What makes him even more terrifying than Jiang Huan is that he has already surpassed the level of a king or noble!

Is a top-tier king or noble with the power of the Nine Forbidden Really someone they can contend with?

Marquis Zhaoyuan and Marquis Tuodong were already starting to feel uneasy.

"Did the King of Zhouyi tell you this?"

Gao Wenyuan remained unmoved, but the enormous Dharma image above his head spoke, as if resounding in everyone's heart, "Did he ever tell you that my eldest disciple Jiang Huan was not actually the first person to reach the pinnacle?"

"What?"

Han Chi was startled, and for a moment he forgot his shock. "This is impossible. No one has ever set foot on the summit before. I have read through the ages, and this is an indisputable fact... Of course, if you are talking about yourself, then I have nothing to say."

"Of course it's not me, nor is it Jiang Huan... As far as I know, my teacher had already cultivated the Great Sun Golden Body ten thousand years ago. The Western Buddha Venerable also cultivated it. He once revealed his true form, attracting countless believers to worship him. This is why Buddhists call him 'Great Sun,' while other powerful figures call him 'Azure Lotus.'"
