Miao Town Guardian stood in front of the Abyssal Temple and casually threw out a few talismans, making the temple stand even more firmly there.

  Sudao Xing's possessed divine image was about to enter the Abyssal Temple.

  Miao Zhen Shou stretched out his hand to stop Su Dao Xing and said: "Don't rush in yet, let's talk first."

  "Alright, Lord Miao." Su Dao Xing was now just a small Sect Master and naturally couldn't disobey someone like Miao Zhen Shou.

  Miao Town Guardian gazed at the Abyssal Temple, revealing a nostalgic expression, and slowly said: "I remember when I was still a cultivator, I accidentally entered a sacred temple. The statue of the goddess in that sacred temple actually chatted with me about the heavens. She could even walk out of the sacred temple. At that time, I thought I had seen an immortal from the realm of cultivation and treated the statue as if it were a divine being. Later on, I learned from the statue's mouth that she was a consciousness attached to the statue."

  "Great Ghost Saint!" Su Dao's eyes shone brightly.

  Miao Zhen nodded and said, "That's right, she is the Ghost Saint. She spent her whole life trying to build a ninth-level saint temple, I don't know if she succeeded in building it later, maybe she did, otherwise she wouldn't have become a saint."

  Su Dao Xing heard from Miao Zhen Shou's words that the relationship between Miao Zhen Shou and Gui Sheng was not ordinary, so he tentatively asked: "What is the relationship between Miao Zhen Shou and Gui Sheng?"

  Miao Zhen Shou's body emitted a strong pressure, pressing down on Su Dao Xing.

  Pfft!

  Su Dao Xing was so shocked that he spat out a mouthful of blood, seeing Miao Zhen Shou's anger, and no longer dared to ask about the relationship between Miao Zhen Shou and Gui Sheng. He thought: "Gui Sheng is from an era too far away, it's impossible for Miao Zhen Shou to be from the same era as Gui Sheng. Could it be that Gui Sheng communicated with Miao Zhen Shou through a statue, and Miao Zhen Shou fell in love with the statue, having a romance between human and stone?"

  Miao Zhen Shou didn't know what was on Su Dao Xing's mind, so he patted Su Dao Xing's shoulder and said: "Once the Holy Temple becomes a fifth-level Holy Temple, it will be a terrifying ancestral temple. An ancestral temple can accept the worship of tens of thousands of believers. Once you establish an ancestral temple, you can become the old ancestor of a region, sheltering the people of that region."

  Just thinking about the holy temple he built becoming an ancestral temple, with millions of followers queuing up to burn incense, Su Dao Xing's blood was boiling with excitement, eagerly looking forward to that day.

  Miao Zhen Shou patted Su Dao Xing's shoulder again, pulling him back from his reverie. "Work hard on your cultivation," he instructed. "First become a cultivator and gain the power to protect yourself. Only then will you have the possibility of establishing a fifth-level sacred temple."

  "I will definitely not disappoint the expectations of the town's guardian." Su Dao Xing said seriously.

  "Alright, I'm off!" Miao Zhen Guardian waved his hand and strode out.

  Su Dao Xing looked around the temple and saw that although it was a bit damaged, the entire temple was not seriously affected, so he walked into the temple with relief. The possessed statue sat upright in the temple.

  Buzz!

  The shrine emitted a sacred sound.

  The statue sat motionlessly in the temple, staring woodenly into the depths of the abyss.

  Su Dao Xing's consciousness returned to his own body, feeling extremely weak, lying in bed, and fell asleep.

  The doorbell rang with a "ding-dong" sound.

  Su Dao woke up and got out of bed, opened the door, and saw Yu Tianwu and Wen Hongmei standing outside.

  "Aren't you supposed to be cultivating? Why do you look like you just woke up? Did you sleep the whole time?" Wen Hongmei looked at him with a mixture of anger and disappointment, she was truly speechless towards Su Daowu, his heart was really as big as the sky.

  The moon was smiling, and she was more intelligent than Wen Hongmei. At this time, not only did she not blame Su Daowei, but she also showed a gentle and affectionate attitude. She wasn't even Su Daowei's person, so what right did she have to blame him? It would only make Su Daowei unhappy.

  "It's getting dark!" Su Dao Xing saw Wen Hongmei's bitter and resentful expression, looked up at the sky, and changed the subject, "Recently, the Abyssal Realm has been unstable, let's hurry back to the island and close our doors for cultivation. I plan to cultivate my spiritual body and break through to the True Immortal realm."

  "Cultivating a spiritual body requires a large amount of spirit stones, are you prepared?" Wen Hongmei asked curiously.

  Su Dao Xing casually pulled out the spiritual marrow of the Nine-Headed Prison Dragon from his brow, and smiled: "This piece of spiritual marrow is enough for me to refine into a spiritual body."

  "Let's hurry back to the island, don't delay Dao Xing's cultivation of his spiritual body." Wen Hongmei was eager to return to the island.

  The moonlight danced in her beautiful eyes, revealing a different color, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions. Su Dao Xing would soon become a spiritual body, and if she didn't work harder, she would fall behind.

  Su Dao Xing, Wen Hong Mei, and Yue Tian Wu returned to the island. Su Dao Xing began to seclude himself for spiritual cultivation, while the two women also busied themselves with their own cultivation.

  Not just the three of them, but all the teachers and students in the Holy Courtyard were working hard to cultivate themselves. Since the battle at the Abyssal Realm, everyone had a sense of crisis. If one day, the monsters from the Abyssal Realm broke out, the world would be in chaos, and only by becoming stronger could they protect themselves.

  Su Dao Xing sat cross-legged on one side of the small island, took out the spiritual marrow of the Nine-Headed Prison Dragon, and began to refine it.

  The refinement of the spirit is first the refinement of the human body's skin.

  Su Dao Xing used the power of Ling Mei to cultivate his skin into a spiritual skin, making it smooth like an infant's skin, radiating a milky white glow.

  The master's skin was struck by gravity, and only three-tenths of the attack power could be shed. The master himself had to bear seven-tenths of the attack power, while the cultivator was different. The spiritual skin could bear seven-tenths of the attack power, and the cultivator only needed to bear three-tenths of the attack power.

  Su Dao Xing has now refined his spiritual skin, and with the addition of his golden body, he can withstand 90% of the attack power, and only needs to bear 10% of the attack power himself.

  "As long as I don't encounter a master-level strong practitioner, my defense is almost invincible." Su Dao Xing didn't expect that the spiritual skin's defensive power would be so astonishing. If he had known earlier, he would have cultivated it into spiritual skin sooner.

  Refining the spiritual skin is the first step in refining the spiritual body. The second step begins with Su Dao Xing, refining blood and flesh.

  He drew the power of the nine-headed dragon's spirit into his own blood and flesh, every blood cell, every particle of blood and flesh being refined bit by bit into spiritual blood, spiritual flesh.

  Before Su Dao Xing's blood and flesh encountered the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, they played a blocking role, preventing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from entering his blood and flesh. Now that his blood and flesh have transformed into spiritual blood and spiritual flesh, they actively absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth between them, transforming it into their own spiritual energy that exists within their blood and flesh.

  At this moment, Su Dao Xing only felt that his whole body was comfortable and relaxed, with an astonishing spiritual power contained in his blood and flesh. He didn't need to deliberately cultivate it, as his blood and flesh were automatically cultivating and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

  From then on, Su Dao Xing had finally set one foot into the world of cultivators and could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate.

  Completed the spiritual skin, spiritual blood, and spiritual flesh; next is the forging of the spiritual bone.

  The bones of a monk are struck with force and will shatter. The spiritual bones of an immortal are struck with force and will soften into a lump, but will not shatter.

  The monk's spiritual bone will be deformed by the blow and is difficult to break.

  The forging of Linggu's bones took Su Daoxue ten days, until ten days later, his spiritual bones emitted a white light like beautiful jade.

  The dragon's bones have formed!

  Refined skin, refined blood, refined flesh, refined bones, cultivation complete, next step cultivate spiritual vessels.

  The Hundred Pulse Sect Master cultivates a hundred spiritual pulses, and the hundred spiritual pulses form a small circulatory system. However, there are thousands of spiritual pulses in the human body, and to become stronger, one needs to cultivate all the meridians into spiritual pulses.

  Su Dao Xing had the spiritual marrow of a nine-headed dragon, he decided to transform all the meridians in his body into spiritual meridians, so that he could become invincible at the same level.

  Time flies when cultivating, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

  Su Dao Xing transformed the thousands of meridians in his body into spiritual meridians, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, with a circulation speed nearly a hundred times that of an ordinary Hundred Meridian Cultivator.

  What is same-level invincibility? This is same-level invincibility.

  Spirit skin, spirit blood, spirit flesh, spirit bone, and spirit pulse are all cultivated. Su Dao Xing's spiritual body is fully cultivated, and his defense has increased.

  The first step for a master to enter the realm of cultivation is to forge a spiritual body, the second step is to open up the ocean of energy and the ocean of consciousness, and the third step is to create a soul body.

  The biggest difference between a cultivator and a Zongshi is that a cultivator has a soul body, which is the second life form of the cultivator.

  A cultivator who has achieved great success in their soul and body, even if their physical body is destroyed, their soul can still survive, and they can even seize the physical body of another cultivator to be reborn.

  Throughout history, there have been countless practitioners who seized others' physical bodies to revive themselves.

  In ancient times, a powerful cultivator, once obtaining a strong physical body, would immediately switch to a new one, as long as the soul remained unchanged, the cultivator's essence and spirit would not change.

  Other masters need to consume a large amount of soul power to cultivate the soul body, and even some masters without background may not have enough soul power to cultivate the soul body throughout their lives, having no fate with cultivators.
