In the small courtyard.

Dugu Bo heard Jiang Yuan's question and nodded slightly.

“I’m in top form!”

As he spoke, Dugu Bo's face was calm, and his eyes were as still as an ancient pond.

He then added: "I will soon start to open up the spiritual realm, and I don't know what will happen later."

Jiang Yuan nodded: "Don't worry, Dean, I will protect you."

"Okay!" Dugu Bo nodded, and then said: "I will soon open up the Lingtai Secret Realm. You should observe carefully. If you can't observe anything, I will tell you my experience and insights later to pave the way for you to open up the Lingtai Secret Realm in the future."

"Thank you, Dean!" Jiang Yuan said.

The words fell.

Dugu Bo slowly closed his eyes, and Jiang Yuan stood quietly in the yard.

A moment later.

Jiang Yuan's eyes suddenly focused.

"This is."

He murmured to himself, and was greatly shocked in his heart.

Suddenly, white spots of light appeared in the depths of the void and gathered towards Dugu Bo.

Is this the gathering of true spirits? Jiang Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and he was secretly surprised.

At this moment, the strange phenomenon of white light spots converging towards Dugu Bo was quite similar to the gathering of Shu Xiaoxiao's true spirit at the beginning.

Afterwards, mysterious patterns flashed in Jiang Yuan's pupils, and his eyes instantly saw the white spots of light.

In an instant, Jiang Yuan's sight reached the inside of the white light spot.

But its interior is completely different from Shu Xiaoxiao's true spirit fragments.

The true spirit fragments that were converging towards Dugu Bo were now completely white inside, without any scenes or memories.

But Shu Xiaoxiao's true spirit fragments were different.

Jiang Yuan clearly remembered that at that time he saw the scene inside through the fragments of his true spirit and saw an unknown figure.

But now when I think back to what happened that day, I have completely forgotten any memory of that figure.

I don't know his appearance or figure, and even his gender is unknown.

I didn’t quite understand the reason at first, but now I understand a little bit. This may be the characteristic of the forbidden area.

It is also a realm above the Immortal Lord and is called the forbidden realm.

An existence even more terrifying than that of the Moon God.

In Shu Xiaoxiao's previous life, the man known as the peerless swordsman was probably a forbidden existence at the level of a heavenly master.

Even more terrifying than Ye Chanxi’s previous life.

Ye Chanxi's previous life was just the reincarnation of an immortal.

Thinking of this, all kinds of distracting thoughts flashed through Jiang Yuan's mind.

He then collected his thoughts again and quietly watched Dugu Bo's true spirit gather.

Time passes quietly.

The golden crow sets in the west, and the jade rabbit rises in the east.

The sun rises and the moon sets, and another day has passed.

At this time, Dugu Bo still did not move, just like before, spots of true spirit continued to gather towards his spirit platform.

Is this the effect of the Lingtai Secret Realm? Jiang Yuan pondered secretly.

After observing for a while, there was still no change.

Jiang Yuan also separated a part of his mind, and then his mind moved slightly.

The luck and power of the two people in the courtyard were instantly harvested by Jiang Yuan.

The power of luck +100.

Power of Luck +40.

Looking at the prompt in front of him, Jiang Yuan opened his own panel and completed today's routine watering.

Then he closed the panel, and with a slight movement of his mind, it unfolded instantly.

Silently, he harvested the luck and power of Qu Qing and Gong Yelie.

Power of Luck +40.

Power of Luck +4.

His current spiritual power is beyond the ability of these two senior brothers to detect.

However, Jiang Yuan knew that the time was not right to reap the power of luck from the major forces.

If he were to enter the blessed land now, he would definitely be discovered, not to mention the major holy places and other forces of the same level.

There are countless magic arrays and restrictions everywhere.

Just like the Tianyuan Holy Land, with countless years of heritage, the formations and restrictions have been continuously strengthened and upgraded.

It can protect everything in all directions without any blind spots. Whenever divine thoughts invade it, it will inevitably trigger restrictions and formations.

It is simply impossible to harvest the power of luck silently.

Unless the strength can be improved by leaps and bounds.

If one wants to make a leap forward, the only way is to bring in the demon saints from the world.

Jiang Yuan was thinking for a moment, and a distracting thought flashed through his mind.

Then continue to wait here for Dugu Bo to complete the opening of the Lingtai Secret Realm.

At this moment, Jiang Yuan couldn't see much just from the appearance.

What will happen in the end will have to wait and see what Dugu Bo realizes after the development is completed.

Another half day passed.

Dugu Bo suddenly opened his eyes.

"Dean!" Jiang Yuan spoke immediately.

Dugu Bo glanced at Jiang Yuan and his brows immediately frowned.

"What happened to the dean?"

Jiang Yuan's expression suddenly became a little nervous.

"Not very good!" Dugu Bo frowned slightly, his face looking a little solemn.

Right at this moment.

[You have perfected the next realm of the physical body and opened up a new path of cultivation. You have great merits for the world and can be called immeasurable merits. You have obtained 10,000 strands of merit power.]

Seeing this prompt in front of him, Jiang Yuan's heart suddenly shook.

He immediately saw the numbers in the merit column on the panel jump rapidly.

[Merit]: 10000 Looking at the numbers on the panel, Jiang Yuan was suddenly overjoyed.

This is the power of ten thousand strands of merit, which is equal to the gain from killing one hundred demon saints.

This is a huge gain.

If he chooses to convert it into cultivation, he can enter the realm of saint in an instant, and will not stop at the first level of saint.

The next moment.

Jiang Yuan closed the panel and smiled.

"Dean, you're really good at pretending! I almost got fooled by you!"

Dugu Bo looked at Jiang Yuan in astonishment.

"How did you find out? Didn't I pretend to be like that?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "It seems like it, but there are still some flaws that I can see."

"Haha——" Dugu Bo immediately laughed heartily: "You have a sharp eye, kid!"

"Did the dean succeed in opening up the Lingtai secret realm?" Jiang Yuan asked again.

"Success!" Dugu Bo nodded, full of emotion: "But I almost couldn't bear it. Opening up the spirit platform and carrying the true spirit into the body actually produced a terrifying pressure on my body. Even I almost couldn't bear it!"

"Luckily, I have not slacked off over the years. I have been strengthening my Qi and blood and improving my physical strength, which is why I have achieved today's success!"

"The physical body path is too demanding on the physique! It gets more terrifying the further you go!"

"If I didn't possess the holy body of the human race, which is the best in history, I would not have been able to successfully open it up!"

Jiang Yuan heard this and immediately spoke.

"How has the dean's strength changed?"

Dugu Bo smiled and said, "It's not that obvious yet. The overall improvement in my strength is only about 30%. There is no qualitative change!"

"But if you give me some more time, there will be a drastic change in strength."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo raised his hand and pointed at the green rock in front of him.

Jiang Yuan immediately understood what he meant and sat down.

After Jiang Yuan sat cross-legged, Dugu Bo said, "I have successfully opened up the Lingtai Secret Realm."

"What did the dean gain?" Jiang Yuan asked.

Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuan remained silent and waited here.

After pondering for more than ten breaths.

Dugu Bo said: "The success of opening up the Lingtai Secret Realm means that the realm of cultivation is equivalent to the Supreme!"

"But compared to the realm of cultivation, opening up the spiritual realm does not bring about the drastic transformation after a major realm upgrade. It is not like a realm breakthrough, where your strength will suddenly rise to a higher level after completing a realm breakthrough."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan frowned slightly and was about to speak.

Dugu Bo chuckled: "But it also brings a lot of improvements and changes."

Then he added: "The opening of the spiritual realm, I call it nurturing the true spirit and consolidating the self!"

"Now that we are cultivating both paths together, the Primordial Spirit has already been born, and the True Spirit has gathered in the Primordial Spirit. They complement each other and bring about even greater changes!"

When Jiang Yuan heard this, he thought for a moment. Opening up the spiritual platform has the effect of condensing the true spirit. He had not thought of this before.

Then he said, "According to my previous speculation, the opening of the Lingtai Secret Realm should have some impact on the Yuanshen. I didn't expect it to have the effect of condensing the True Spirit!"

Dugu Bo also smiled: "I didn't expect this either!"

"But I didn't expect you to recognize that this is a real spirit."

Jiang Yuan said: "I have seen it before, so I recognized it!"

Jiang Yuan then asked, "Dean, what effect does the True Spirit Condensation have?"

Dugu Bo spoke slowly: "After opening up the spiritual realm and condensing the true spirit, the soul will advance by leaps and bounds and soar rapidly!"

"At the same time, the Lingtai Secret Realm is higher than the five physical secret realms, just like the master above the nine heavens who controls everything. The five secret realms are controlled by the true spirit and become more powerful."

"And my body is also undergoing tremendous changes. I don't know how long this change will last."

"And after condensing the true self, the control over the body will reach an extremely high level, and you can control every cell particle in the body. Unless every cell particle is completely wiped out, it is equivalent to having an immortal body!"

Hearing the last sentence, Jiang Yuan looked surprised.

"Dean, so the Flesh and Blood Will Method that Senior Brother Qu Qing has researched is the characteristic of opening up the Spiritual Platform Realm?"

"That's right!" Dugu Bo nodded slightly, expressing his agreement: "However, compared with Qu Qing's blood and flesh will method, this all-round will control will be stronger. I even feel that the immortality of the true spirit does not mean that it has truly fallen."

"But it will take some time to know the final effect. I am still in the process of transformation."

He then closed his eyes slightly, and after a few breaths, he spoke again.

"Can you feel how I've changed from just now?"

Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly: "I can't feel it!"

Dugu Bo smiled and said, "But during this half moment of talking with you, my body has become stronger by more than 10%, and my Qi and blood have also become stronger!"

"The five great physical secret realms are also constantly transforming and growing stronger."

"Take the Heart Secret Realm as an example. Previously, it could only stimulate the blood flowing through the heart to cause fission, which would then explode with terrifying Qi and blood power."

"Now I can stimulate every part of my body. At the same time, the effects of the Wood Liver Secret Realm and the Water Kidney Secret Realm are endless and can easily make up for this consumption."

"Do you know how many times the energy and blood power I can burst out now?"

Jiang Yuan heard this and shook his head slightly.

"have no idea!"

Dugu Bo smiled and said, "More than fifty times, and with the changes in the body, the energy and blood that burst out is still growing."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan was surprised, and then asked, "If that's the case, can the dean be on par with the True Immortal Realm strongmen by then?"

Dugu Bo said: "You can only know whether you can do it or not after fighting!"

"Simply speaking of my confidence, I am certain that after the transformation of my physical body is completed, I will be equal to the Dual Dao Supreme, enough to be on par with the strongest Supremes of ancient and modern times. It will be no problem for me to defeat ordinary True Immortals!"

“But there are differences between True Immortals, just like there are differences between Supreme Beings and Supreme Beings, and between Saints and Saints. The gap between the strong and the weak is huge!”

"The True Immortal killed by the Ancient Human Emperor was said to be an ordinary True Immortal who had just achieved the realm of True Immortal."

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan nodded slightly, and then continued: "That's enough! True Immortals are not cabbages! Especially after a million years, I don't believe that those True Immortals will not be affected at all and can still maintain their peak state!"

Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Dugu Bo nodded in agreement.

The next moment.

He spoke again: "I remember you said before that you had some deductions about the next level of the physical body. I have no idea now, so I want to hear your thoughts."

"If it's according to my idea, it would be to simulate the opening of the cave again, fuse the five elements to evolve chaos, and then open up the world inside the body!"

"In this way, the inner world opened up will definitely be far superior to the cave world!"

Jiang Yuan shook his head slightly: "Although the dean successfully opened up the spiritual realm, it is a little different from what I expected! Because I dare not speak rashly."

"Soon, I will personally step into the Saint Realm, successfully open up the Spiritual Platform Secret Realm, and personally comprehend the mysteries of this secret realm. Then, I will share my views with the dean."

Although Jiang Yuan had some ideas in his mind at this time, he was also thinking about the next level of the physical body.

But he didn't want to say it clearly at this time. As he said, he really needed personal experience to verify his ideas.

After all, on the road of deduction, you cannot sit still in an airy attic. Every step is crucial and you cannot be careless.

Another factor is that it is not wise to be unreserved, although he trusts Dugu Bo very much.

But there should also be some reservations!

At least in this way, he and Dugu Bo are still in the same boat.

Regardless of anything else, Dugu Bo will at least try his best to protect himself for the possibility of the next step.

My reservation can also add weight to myself and increase my importance.

This doesn't mean that I don't trust Dugu Bo! But no matter how much I trust him, I can't tell him everything without limits.

Just like he possesses this magical panel, he trusts Shu Xiaoxiao and Ye Chanxi, but he will not mention the panel to anyone.

When Dugu Bo heard Jiang Yuan's words, he nodded repeatedly: "Okay! It's not that easy to open up a path of cultivation! You should also act cautiously!"

"However, with the opening of the Lingtai Secret Realm, my body's vitality has greatly increased, and my blood and qi are vigorous. I can feel that the source of my life is increasing dramatically!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan's eyes suddenly focused and he looked surprised.

"Dean, do you mean that your life span has increased?"

"That's right!" Dugu Bo nodded and continued, "The improvement is huge! If everything goes as expected, the increase in my lifespan will be no less than my attainment of the Supreme Dao Fruit!"

"Such changes also show that the development of the Lingtai Secret Realm is a correct path, and it is comparable to the path of the Supreme Realm."

"It's not weaker than the pinnacle of humanity at all, and it may even be a stronger path."

"Because when a saint enters the supreme state, it can be said that his life span has only increased by about 7,000 years!"

"When reaching the ninth level of the Saint Realm, one can live for three thousand years. When reaching the pinnacle of the human realm, one can attain the supreme Dao fruit and live for ten thousand years."

"But by opening up the spiritual realm, the changes in the physical body can increase the life span of ten thousand years to about twenty thousand years!"

"Increasing your lifespan by ten thousand years is enough to prove your success in this realm!"

"You know, it's not that simple to increase lifespan. Just like extending the lifespan of a mortal, extending it to 500 years is considered simple and only requires very few resources."

"But if we want to extend our lifespan to a thousand years, it will be more than ten times more difficult than before!"

"It gets harder the further you go!"

"If opening up the Lingtai Secret Realm can really extend one's lifespan from ten thousand years to twenty thousand years, it would be a terrifying improvement."

"From this point we can see that the physical body is undoubtedly very important!"

“If you can really open up the next realm of the physical body in the future, which is equivalent to the true immortal realm in the immortal realm, then you will truly create a precedent in the ancient times and can be called the ancestor of the Tao.”

Hearing what Dugu Bo said, Jiang Yuan smiled and then spoke as well.

"What the dean did today has already set a precedent in ancient times, and is enough to leave a glorious mark in ancient history."

Dugu Bo chuckled.

"You have contributed most of the credit to this."

Jiang Yuan shook his head: "Although I have made contributions, at most I have helped the dean to reach the pinnacle of the human realm, and his soul has made the ultimate leap, and his status has been sublimated."

"With the dean's experience, as long as we complete this step, we will be able to find a way to open up the spiritual realm sooner or later."

"The five secret realms of the physical body are all due to the dean's efforts."

Dugu Bo shook his head seriously: "Your contribution is not low! Without you, I would have no hope of reaching the pinnacle of the human realm in this life, let alone successfully opening up the spiritual realm."

"Sometimes the final kick is the most despairing one."

"Besides, I was confused when I was in the situation. The direction you pointed out helped me to walk out on the right path!"

"As for the perfection of the five secret realms of the physical body you mentioned, it is nothing more than picking up the legacy of the predecessors and standing on the shoulders of the predecessors."

“It’s good, but it’s not worth praising!”

"You have been of great help in this."

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "The dean is too modest! The successful development of the Lingtai Secret Realm is enough for the dean to be remembered in ancient history. In the distant future, the dean's glory may catch up with the existence of Daozu Tiandi!"

Dugu Bo suddenly smiled heartily.

"If you ask me, you are the one who is most likely to be on par with Daozu Tiandi!"

"As long as you can open up the next step in the physical realm!"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "That will have to wait until I can reach the pinnacle of humanity like the dean and successfully open up the spiritual realm! I still have a lot of time in the future, and I am confident that I can figure out the next step."

Dugu Bo nodded heavily: "I have no doubt about this! At that time, the words "Holy Academy" will surely be passed down for a long time, and will not be forgotten by the world thousands of years later."

Speaking of this, Dugu Bo was suddenly filled with emotion.

"If I were to say the best thing I have done in my life, it would be to accept you into the Holy Academy!"

"If I hadn't done this, how could I have reached the pinnacle of the human realm and achieved the supreme fruit of the Tao."

"Not to mention that successfully opening up the Lingtai Secret Realm is equivalent to the blessing of the Dual Dao Supreme."

Then he said again.

"But then again, the physical body path has too high requirements for the physical body!"

"Even I find it difficult to possess a holy body. Apart from me, you are probably the only one in the entire Holy Academy who can open up the spiritual realm!"

"Looking across the five regions and four seas, in the entire world, perhaps only you and I can do this."

Jiang Yuan said: "Dean, don't worry, as long as we can prove that this is a path to heaven, a correct path!"

"In the future, this path can eventually be perfected and become a path that everyone can practice."

Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, Dugu Bo suddenly felt longing.

“If that day really comes, perhaps the Holy Academy will truly become the number one academy in the world, and top-notch experts will emerge in endlessly!”

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly and said with great certainty: "There will be such a day!!"

Dugu Bo smiled and said, "What are you going to do next?"

Jiang Yuan stroked his chin lightly, pondered for a moment, and took a few breaths.

"Since the dean has successfully opened up the spiritual realm and his strength has risen to a higher level, I plan to transcend the tribulation and become a saint in the outer space in the near future."

Dugu Bo nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "No problem! Give me some more time, and my strength will surely grow by leaps and bounds. Even if I can't kill the True Immortal, I can at least contain it."

"Even if you will meet a true immortal because of your saintly tribulation, I will still protect you."

Jiang Yuan cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll leave my safety to the dean when the time comes!"

Dugu Bo laughed: "This is as it should be. Speaking of help, you have helped me a lot. Without you, how could I reach the pinnacle of the human realm, let alone successfully open up the spiritual realm."

Jiang Yuan smiled slightly after hearing this, and then spoke.

"At most I can say that the dean and I have achieved mutual success. Without the dean, I, Jiang Yuan, would not be where I am today."

After the words were spoken, the two looked at each other and laughed.

Stop laughing!

A green light flashed in Dugu Bo's hand, and a jar of fine wine instantly appeared in his hand.

"I am in a very good mood today, let's drink together."

Jiang Yuan took the jar of wine from Dugu Bo.

"In such a prosperous time, we should drink to our heart's content. Today, the dean and I will not leave until we are drunk!"

"I won't go home until I'm drunk!" Dugu Bo had another jar of wine in his hand, which lightly touched the jar of wine in Jiang Yuan's hand.

"Come on, do it!" he said again.

"Fuck!" Jiang Yuan also spoke up.

This time, he drank from day to night, and from night to day.

The ground was littered with wine jars. Although Jiang Yuan did not ask what the wine in these jars was, he could tell from the taste that it must be excellent wine.

It tastes sweet and mellow, with a long aftertaste and overflowing wine aroma.

But Dugu Bo didn't look distressed at all, instead he kept laughing heartily.

He also talked to Jiang Yuan a lot about his rise to fame and the hardships he experienced in studying the Dao of the physical body.

He also shared with Jiang Yuan his youthful ambition and the regret deep in his heart.

At this moment, Dugu Bo was undoubtedly extremely happy.

Jiang Yuan could also sense it and deeply understand it.

The dual-path supreme, with a lifespan increased by ten thousand years and immense strength, has a promising future ahead of him.

This is naturally a very happy thing.

Not long after, the story of Dugu Bo's success in opening up the Lingtai Secret Realm in this small courtyard spread, enough to leave a glorious mark of his in the long river of history.

To bring the path of the physical body to a level that is equivalent to the pinnacle of the human realm.

In this sense, this road can be considered to have been initially completed.

However, there is a huge flaw, that is, one needs to have the qualifications to obtain the supreme Tao fruit, and the soul must complete the ultimate leap to open up the spiritual realm.

This is considered the biggest flaw of this road.

It is equivalent to first achieving supremacy before one can open up the secret realm of the spiritual platform.

But even so, this set a precedent in ancient times and is naturally enough to go down in history.

Jiang Yuan believed that as things continued to improve in the future, there would naturally be other ways to reach this point, and there would be no need to first possess the qualifications to become a Supreme Being before being able to open up the Lingtai Secret Realm.

Moreover, if we can go one step further on this path, that would be a truly great achievement.

Entering the fairyland, one can be on par with the true immortals in the immortal realm.

That is a major event that could overturn the world.

You must know that ever since the connection between heaven and earth was severed, the human and immortal worlds have been separated.

There is no hope of becoming an immortal, and the highest realm in the human realm is the supreme realm.

No matter how outstanding and invincible you are, you cannot become an immortal.

However, if the next step of the physical body is taken, it will be in the mortal world, the five realms and four seas, this vast universe, which is like becoming an immortal and possessing the strength of a true immortal in the immortal realm.

In this case, what if he can't become an immortal? Moreover, after Dugu Bo opened up the Lingtai Secret Realm, his life level was transformed and his life source was strengthened. It wouldn't be long before he could have a lifespan of about 20,000 years.

Breaking the limit of the Supreme Being’s ten thousand year lifespan.

This is enough to prove that the path of the physical body is correct.

Going one step further, the level of life will inevitably be greatly improved, and the lifespan may also skyrocket.

If we really reach this point, then the goal of the world will no longer be to become an immortal.

Not to mention that the environment of heaven and earth has changed drastically now, and people in the world have lost the way to become immortals.

After walking out of the holy courtyard.

It's the second day already.

Jiang Yuan turned around and glanced at the gate of the Holy Temple behind him.

When he comes here again, it will be the time for him to attain enlightenment and become a saint.

Before leaving, he also had a thorough discussion with Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo needs some time to accumulate and settle down.

Moreover, after opening up the Lingtai Secret Realm, the transformation from the inside out did not end. He was not in a hurry to skip this process. He had to feel every bit of change in himself.

I still have a lot to do.

Although he can now easily achieve a breakthrough and become a saint.

But now is clearly not a good time.

In order to overcome the tribulation and become a saint in the outer space, he still needs to have sufficient accumulation.

Raise each avenue to a state that satisfies him.

Especially the two paths of Devouring Avenue and Space Avenue.

Among them, the Devouring Avenue is related to his efficiency in harvesting the fruits of the Tao.

That day, the starry sky will be stained with blood, and countless demon saints will fall outside the domain. If the Devouring Avenue does not undergo a qualitative change, how can he quickly harvest the Dao Fruit and break through the realm quickly? The Space Avenue is related to his combat power and ability to survive.

Moreover, the two offensive techniques, Great Void Hand Seal and Sword Opening the World, are both closely related to the avenue of space.
