Chapter 114 Jiang Hao's Third Life, A Qualitative Change
Witnessing firsthand a great emperor of the time, following his guidance, truly taking this step to try this ancient and dangerous method, was a rare opportunity for Jiang Hao to observe and verify.
From Yun Li's transformation attempt, he gained a deeper understanding of the method of creating a Holy Spirit, which brought him some new inspiration for his future path.
"However, the path to becoming a Holy Spirit is destined to be extremely long, often taking tens of thousands of years."
Jiang Hao's gaze pierced through the cave's walls, looking towards a corner deep within the universe that was quietly slumbering and transforming.
"I hope you can return successfully. When that happens, the world will have one more companion to walk alongside you."
He withdrew his gaze from the distance, closed his eyes again, and the vast air beneath him began to swirl slowly.
The long period of time, whether for him or for Yun Li who embarked on the perilous journey, was only a corner of the scroll that had just been unfolded.
His mind calmed down completely, and he focused entirely on himself.
Looking inward at that boundless sea of suffering, the scene is now vastly different from what it used to be.
The few immortal herbs he collected in his early years underwent miraculous changes over a long period of time, which could be tens of thousands of years, as they were constantly nourished and harmonized by his own chaotic origin.
The Fusang Divine Tree, with its solar attribute, and the Laurel Tree, with its yin attribute, subtly intertwine their branches and leaves, giving rise to a faint, ever-circulating yin-yang rhythm, like illuminating a miniature tai chi diagram in a sea of suffering.
The first humanoid immortal elixir that followed him has become increasingly lifelike, with a clear outline. Occasionally, one can even see subtle undulations on the elixir, like breathing, as if it were a sleeping spirit.
The White Tiger Immortal Elixir concealed all its outward sharpness and killing intent, quietly lying in a corner, its entire body as warm and smooth as jade. Only by careful sensing could one perceive the invincible sharpness hidden within it.
The Chaos Lotus that was later obtained swayed gently in the center of the Sea of Bitterness, its lotus leaves unfurling and naturally absorbing the purest chaotic energy.
It seemed to become the anchor of this sea of suffering, harmonizing all the medicinal power and principles.
The five immortal herbs' energy interacted with each other, subtly forming a mysterious yet stable cycle.
Not only are they thriving, but they are also continuously nourishing Jiang Hao's imperial body, bringing him endless vitality and Daoist nourishment.
What caught Jiang Hao's attention the most were the Chaos Green Lotus and the Humanoid Immortal Elixir.
Their spiritual growth is most evident, and they are getting closer and closer to a complete state of spiritual intelligence, with their behavior even taking on a somewhat human-like quality.
As the Chaos Green Lotus swayed, it seemed to be lost in thought; and as the Humanoid Immortal Elixir breathed, it seemed to possess emotions.
"Could these two guys... actually come back to life completely one day?"
As Jiang Hao looked inward at them, a slightly surprised thought arose in his mind.
"Shedding the medicinal form and transforming into a human? Or perhaps... a return in some sense?"
The origins of the elixir of immortality are mysterious, often related to fallen immortals or beings beyond immortality.
If they can truly awaken the wisdom of their past lives and reappear in the world, it would be an unprecedented miracle.
Because there is no clear record that the elixir of immortality can truly reverse transformation and restore the former master's glory.
"If it really were possible..." Thinking this, Jiang Hao felt a genuine sense of anticipation.
"That would be incredibly interesting. To witness firsthand what is perhaps an immortal or even a higher level of being, transcending countless ages, reflecting the world anew in this way, would undoubtedly provide me with profound insights into the essence of life, the immortality of the true spirit, and even the deep-seated laws governing the transformation of the mortal world."
In fact, Jiang Hao has already benefited greatly from just spending these few immortal herbs with him over the years and feeling the interaction between their qi changes and his own chaotic origin.
We have gained a deeper understanding of the transformation and leaps in life forms.
He even felt that he had a vague idea of how to step out of the fourth life.
If they could truly come back to life, the lessons they would learn would be immeasurable.
"However, that's all for the future. We'll talk about it then."
Even if these two elixirs of immortality were to return, it would still take some time.
"It's about time." Jiang Hao suppressed these chaotic thoughts for the time being.
The long accumulation and preparation for the third incarnation have been completed.
It's time to push open the door to a new world.
Jiang Hao began his seclusion.
Time flowed silently outside the cave, the stars twinkled, and countless years passed.
One day, Jiang Hao's transformation began silently.
There was no reversed galaxy, nor any mournful cries.
All movement and stillness are contained within, sinking to the origin of life.
That chaotic imperial body that dominated all worlds began to disintegrate peacefully from the smallest particle, and then slowly reassembled following a rhythm that transcended the laws of nature.
The chaotic divine light that once caused all laws to retreat no longer manifested outwards, but instead, like wisps of primordial energy, converged into the deepest part of the body.
The primordial laws of chaos, powerful enough to crush ancient history, were refined and ultimately transformed into billions of ancient runes, imprinted into every inch of the life essence's trajectory.
His body lost its dazzling luster, like that of divine jade, becoming gentle and ordinary. The radiance no longer flowed between his flesh and bones, as if he had returned to the ordinary state before the creation of heaven and earth.
Everything that was sublimated was sublimated on an invisible level.
Beneath the seemingly ordinary flesh and blood, an indescribable Dao essence is condensing.
Between the bones and internal organs, there is a divine light even more powerful than before.
Every inch of its body contains immeasurable divine power.
This is an ultimate return to simplicity.
Shedding all external mystique, it refines the primordial chaos into the purest resources, evolving towards greater power.
The ultimate expression of the ordinary is the extraordinary that transcends all.
This is a voluntary abandonment of everything after thoroughly understanding the nature of one's constitution.
Return yourself to the state of being the most essential vessel of the Tao.
While the Chaos Body is indeed powerful, and is said to be close to immortality, it is ultimately a special constitution that has been defined, with its own inherent power tendencies and Dao patterns.
For someone who has reached Jiang Hao's current level, any biased constitution becomes an invisible constraint.
This limited his potential for unlimited exploration and free evolution of the Dao.
He may appear to be an ordinary person, but in reality, every drop of blood, every bone, and every wisp of his soul possesses a vast life essence.
It has surpassed the chaotic entity of the past.
This is not an ordinary mortal body; it is the mortal body he transformed into after returning to his true nature, possessing truly infinite possibilities.
Jiang Hao's abandonment of the Chaotic Body does not mean that the Chaotic Body is weaker than the Mortal Body; on the contrary, the Mortal Body is far inferior to the Chaotic Body.
Jiang Hao's current mortal body is stronger than his chaotic body.
It's like a truly wealthy business tycoon saying, "I have no interest in money."
That is on the premise that he already possesses and controls the wealth.
That's why he said it, that's why he could say it.
The same applies to physical constitution; only by truly having experienced and understood it can one confidently say that they no longer need it.
