Chapter 602 - 373: The Heavenly Jade Emperor Discusses True Immortals on Cangming Summit (Part 1)

His body rapidly shrank under the scorching Black Flame, but the essence of his magnetic field grew purer. With the Free Demonic Flame Seven Stars as its core, jade-colored Immortal Talisman structures spread out like a spiderweb, gradually covering the samurai's entire body as if constructing flesh, bone, and blood.

The samurai's form became increasingly stable and realistic. At the same time, the armor on his body also began to change. Its Japanese style diminished, gradually becoming more menacing as it grew spikes that resembled curling tails of flame.

In the end, the samurai's height settled at around three meters. His skin was like jade, and he was clad in menacing green armor. With a fierce expression, he resembled a Buddhist Vajra. In his hand, he held a crimson longsword. Upon the crimson blade, seven black dots were arranged in the pattern of the Beidou Seven Stars—the manifestation of the Free Demonic Flame Seven Stars.

A look of pleasant surprise appeared in the samurai's eyes. He abruptly drew the crimson longsword, and the seven black stars upon it trembled.

FWOOSH!!

Faint black Demon Flame coiled around the blade, seeming to possess some of the Black Flame's properties. The resulting heatwave and fluctuations caused the air to tremble, sending ripples through the Void.

"Thank you, Master, for the grace of this rebirth!!"

The samurai sheathed his sword and prostrated himself before Yi Beidou, his forehead touching the ground.

"In this era, there are no masters and servants, and we don't bother with prostrations. Get up. You can simply call me 'Sir'."

Yi Beidou said.

The samurai obediently rose to his feet, addressing him as "Sir." Then, he spoke respectfully, "Sir, please grant me a name."

"Your predecessor was one of the ancient Twelve Divine Forms from the Onmyo Bureau of Japan. During the world war, Japan invaded Donghua. For their own selfish desires, the Onmyo predecessors went on a killing spree across Donghua, using blood and souls to nurture the Twelve Divine Forms. They created a monstrous amount of slaughter and sin, and because of this, you were born with a Demon Nature."

"This is a sin, and it is also your karma. You must remember this. I will grant you the name 'Wu Mozui.' In the future, if you have the chance to rule over a realm of the void and manifest a divine kingdom of nothingness, you should benefit the world to atone for your sins."

Yi Beidou said.

"Wu Mozui will remember Sir's teachings."

The samurai bowed, then retreated behind Yi Beidou to stand in respectful attendance.

The scene fell deathly silent.

The two Golden Armor giants who had witnessed the entire process stared at each other, their faces slack with astonishment. They looked rather dim-witted.

'This... this is...'

'The Master's Divine Enthronement technique?!'

'This immortal elder before us, in a single meeting that lasted no more than three minutes, has actually managed to use the Divine Power that the Master spent years researching. And judging by the aura Wu Mozui is projecting, it looks like he could beat us to death without breaking a sweat.'

'Is he even human?!'

Even the gentle voice was stunned into a long silence by the scene.

"No wonder you merely commented that my Divine Enthronement technique was 'very creative.' If I hadn't surveyed the mortal realm and confirmed that this technique has never appeared before, I would truly suspect you had mastered it long ago."

The gentle voice spoke, a hint of bitterness in its tone.

"The creativity is indeed not bad, but the core principles are not actually difficult. It's nothing more than fusing a Deity's body with solidified energy. The solidification of energy is the hardest part, but as long as one has mastered the wood and earth nature transformations within the Immortal Talismans, achieving it is not hard at all."

"Moreover, this kind of Dharma Body is limited by the Immortal Power I bestowed upon it. The Deity itself has no ability to generate Immortal Power, so if its energy is excessively depleted or its body is damaged, it cannot be repaired."

"In other words, this is ultimately just a 'false body.' Only if the bestowed Immortal Power structure could replenish itself and repair damage could it be called a 'true body,' capable of reshaping the universe."

Yi Beidou, however, didn't think there was anything special about it.

"Immortal Talismans... You make it sound so easy. That is a skill that even a true Earth Immortal would need a thousand years to gradually master. For 'Fake Immortals' like myself, even getting started is harder than ascending to heaven. I have researched it for many years, yet I have only managed to grasp the most superficial aspects."
