Chapter 228: Chapter 191: Primordial Saint Body Scripture

「April 17th.」

Beneath the Bodhi Tree, Zhang Ji mastered the *Taiqing True Scripture*.

He now possessed ten Epic-grade Combat Crystals of the Cultivation Technique category.

Once the *Taiqing True Scripture* was mastered, Zhang Ji gained an even more special Taiqing Primordial Qi.

It existed purely as yin and yang and was an innate substance. As this Primordial Qi flowed through his body, it shielded his cells, preventing them from being tainted by the poisons of worldly food and the environment. It could even nourish the very root of his lifespan.

Theoretically, as long as he wasn’t harmed by external forces or encountered some targeted virus, Zhang Ji was now effectively immortal.

Of course, this kind of immortality came with a great deal of uncertainty.

One couldn’t assume they would always remain in an unchanging environment.

Viruses constantly evolve, and the world is full of calamities.

Zhang Ji’s immortality was still illusory—a flower in a mirror, the moon in the water.

He was only a bit better off than the Divine Silkworm Ascendant of the past, but not by much.

After taking some time to appreciate the profundity of the *Taiqing True Scripture* and the unique nature of his Innate Primordial Qi, Zhang Ji prepared for the next step.

He was going to break through.

He would use these ten Epic-grade Combat Crystals of the Cultivation Technique category to take the next step, officially becoming a powerful S-rank existence.

Zhang Ji closed his eyes, his consciousness sinking into the [Boundary] space. The next moment, the ten corresponding Combat Crystals were extracted from within him.

The *Taiqing True Scripture*, the *Celestial Wind Body Surrounding Skill*, the *Earth-Suppressing Divine Aegis*, the *Cyan True Water*, the *Mystic Rhinoceros Skill*, the *Instant Thunder Without Delay Skill*, the *True Solar Flame*, the *Celestial Silkworm Rebirth Scripture*, the *Primordial Divine Qi Scripture*, and the *Circulation Qi Body Divine Origin Skill*.

All ten Combat Crystals shone with a brilliant purple light. They represented the pinnacle of the Epic grade, each having reached the rank of Epic Nine-Star.

Among them, the *Circulation Qi Body Divine Origin Skill*, the *True Solar Flame*, and the *Celestial Silkworm Rebirth Scripture* had originally been a bit lacking. However, Zhang Ji had since made some adjustments, and now there was no significant difference between them and the other Combat Crystals.

At least in terms of overall strength, they were consistent.

He had pushed them to the absolute limit of his current abilities.

[System Prompt: Do you wish to fuse...]

"Yes!"

Without much hesitation, the ten Combat Crystals began to merge at the command of Zhang Ji’s will.

They spun and collided, and an even more dazzling light bloomed forth.

It was a flash of crimson....

A Legendary light!

When everything settled, a single crimson crystal floated in the [Boundary] space.

Its radiance dyed the surrounding darkness in its hue.

Zhang Ji gazed at it for a moment before absorbing it into his body.

...

...

This was different from all his previous fusions.

The information Zhang Ji received this time was particularly complex.

His body was also undergoing an earth-shattering transformation.

His very level of existence was taking a monumental leap forward.

He read the information and experienced the memories.

A thousand years of silent meditation beneath the Bodhi Tree, just for a single spark of inspiration. Another thousand years spent thoroughly researching the essence of the elements, viewing them from an ever more granular perspective.

Then another thousand years, and he began his experiments.

The process was flawless. Every hypothesis succeeded. Like gathering sand to build a pagoda, he built a new structure, little by little.

Two thousand years later, the envisioned body had taken its initial form.

He made minute adjustments, pushing it further and further until it reached its apex.

Inside his body, the energies were fusing, finding a stable form.

It was not just True Fire and True Water. The condensed energies of thunder, earth, and wind also joined in. Primordial Qi transformed into Aegis Qi, its properties becoming formless and intangible. The elemental energies began to merge with the Primordial Qi, and during this process, it seemed Spiritual Power was mixed in as well.

A unique kind of primordial fusion manifested within his body.

Had there been the slightest error in this process, his fate would have been no better than that of Delator, the creator of the *Cosmic Four Source Attraction*. Instant death was the only other outcome.

In fact, what he was attempting was far more audacious. He probably would have been blown to bits even more thoroughly than Delator, without so much as a single spiritual particle left behind.

A powerful physique, a fusion of energies from multiple systems, an eternity of time spent painstakingly building, carefully maintaining a delicate balance... Amidst infinite possibilities of failure, he had found the one, vanishingly rare path to success.

*Primordial Saint Body Scripture*!

This was the name of this Legendary-grade Combat Crystal.

This was the technique that, according to the memories, he had spent over ten thousand years to create.

Zhang Ji’s spiritual particles turned inward, allowing him to perceive the fundamental changes in his cells. Each one now contained a unique space, storing an energy similar to a Chaos Element.

However, it was not a true Chaos Element, but existed in a semi-chaotic state.

Zhang Ji could freely convert it into Aegis Qi, various elemental energies, or even Spiritual Power.

The nature of this energy was already very close to the origin of the void.

It was called "Primordial Energy."

When used alone, this energy possessed terrifying destructive power, enough to destroy and annihilate everything.

It was comparable to a standard, non-channeled form of the Chaos Energy produced by the *Cosmic Four Source Attraction*.

Now, even without actively using the *Cosmic Four Source Attraction*, Zhang Ji could unleash that same level of power relying solely on the energy within his body.

But compared to the qualitative change in his Biological Energy, the changes to Zhang Ji’s physical body were even greater.

To contain energy of this nature, his physical body had to be sufficiently robust.

According to the memories, constructing this physical body had taken nearly six thousand years. He had tempered and reconstructed it one cellular particle at a time, without a single error.

Only then was this body able to bear the Primordial Energy. Under the energy’s transformative influence, it was gradually enhanced until it became a true Primordial Saint Body.

This physical body, even if thrown directly into the void, might not be damaged.

In other words, Zhang Ji now had the rudimentary ability to traverse the void.

Zhang Ji moved his body lightly. He no longer felt the familiar sensation of his joints exerting force. Instead, there was a unique state of energy transmission, like a force field formed by the particles of his body.

His human form was just an external appearance he subconsciously maintained.

With a thought, Zhang Ji’s form disintegrated, rapidly switching between the five elemental forms of earth, water, fire, wind, and thunder, before re-condensing into a human shape.

Elementalization was a fundamental ability for S-rank martial artists of the Profound Heart Stream.

But Zhang Ji’s display was far more unique. It wasn’t simple elementalization, but something more like shifting between mimicked forms. His core, however, remained unchanged; the Primordial Body was his true essence.

Zhang Ji also tested his vitality.

His physical body no longer had any clear weaknesses.

His original head was no longer the core of his consciousness.

He no longer had a so-called core of consciousness.

His Spirit scattered throughout his entire body, merging with every single cellular particle. It was a state similar to Divinity Transformation, where one’s Divine Thought suffuses the entire self.

Even if most of his body disintegrated, he could still survive.

As long as a single particle remained, he could instantly reassemble his cellular particles and regenerate.

He could even use this method to divide his body, splitting off a part of it to achieve a technique similar to creating a clone.

The clone would also synchronize information in a state of quantum entanglement.

In other words, he might be able to be active on Origin Star and in the Celestial Essence Realm at the same time.

This unique technique would be incredibly useful in certain situations.

Of course, this didn’t mean he could send his avatars to explore other realms without any risk.

Those individuals who truly grasped great power, like Immortals and True Gods, could trace cause and effect, strike at the source, and attack across dimensions—it wasn’t impossible for them.

Beings of that caliber could kill you on the spot just by knowing your name or finding a trace of your information left behind in spacetime. They could place a curse that crossed dimensions, employing methods beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

For Zhang Ji, the greatest use of this ability was that he no longer had to worry about being overwhelmed when facing multiple opponents.

Besides this, Zhang Ji felt that he no longer had any so-called lifespan limit.

Lifespan was nothing more than the natural aging of cells or body particles.

But as he was now, the particles of his body hardly degraded at all.

Any little bit of wear and tear could be quickly self-repaired.

He had achieved another form of immortality.

Zhang Ji tried to extend his spiritual particles to scout for information about the outside world.

In an instant, his Spirit enveloped an area with a radius of over three hundred kilometers. A dense flood of countless pieces of information was gathered, then converted and processed by his mind...

This information was very complex, but it wasn’t difficult for Zhang Ji to process.

Most of it was useless. He only had to process the specific data he wanted. The rest was compressed and tossed into a temporary storage space, to be discarded later when it was no longer needed.

His speed of thought, among other things, had increased dramatically.

’My original bloodline talents seem to still be here, and they’ve been upgraded...’

Zhang Ji sensed it, capturing various energies from all directions and absorbing them into his body.

Earth, water, fire, wind, and thunder could all be refined by this body.

Almost any substance could be converted into the energy he needed.

Simultaneously, his Space Ability and shapeshifting talent had also been enhanced.

With a thought, Zhang Ji’s body rapidly expanded, reaching a height of a hundred zhang in an instant.

This still wasn’t his limit. It was just that if he got any bigger, he would soon touch the dome of the Ship of Hope.

He then immediately began to shrink, stopping only when he was the size of a sesame seed.

His Space Ability to grow and shrink remained, and the change to his shapeshifting was even more profound. His current life form was no longer human, yet he could still simulate a human’s appearance and even possess all its corresponding functions.

When he took human form, he could still couple with humans and produce offspring. There was no reproductive isolation.

A talent he had once considered to be of little use now preserved his very status as a human.

Otherwise, in his current state, it would be difficult to say if he was still human, at least according to the definition of most human life forms.

Of course, if Zhang Ji didn’t want to be human, he could also simulate the structures of other life forms.

This shapeshifting ability had a very high ceiling.

However, he likely couldn’t transform into beings on a higher tier of existence than himself. To change into beings of an equal or lower tier, he would first need to master the blueprint of their physical structure.

In short, it had potential that needed to be developed.

With this upgrade, Zhang Ji had leaped across a vast tier of existence, and his strength had undergone a qualitative transformation.

He wasn’t sure if he could fight a Super S-rank, but he had a faint feeling.

An ordinary Super S-rank would probably have a hard time killing him.

As for those of the same rank?

He had stopped comparing himself to others of the same rank long ago, and that was even more true now.

He was essentially invincible among his peers. Unless an opponent relied on some higher-level external power, he could crush them all without question.
