Chapter 606 -513: Immortalized Dharma Body

Nascent Soul Achievement!

Even in the Ancient Era, when the Nascent Soul Tribulation was less intense and resources were abundant, reaching the Nascent Soul Realm still marked a cultivator as a wielder of Great Techniques!

Besides, in the current Yaoguang Islands, Divinity Transformation Daoist Monarchs were nowhere to be found, as elusive as divine dragons. Nascent Soul True Monarchs were the absolute peak of power in these seas!

“And…”

“As a Dao Embryo Dharma Aspect… no, as something even more powerful than a normal Dao Embryo Dharma Aspect… uh…” Su Ye was at a loss for words.

‘What should you call a Nascent Soul True Monarch who achieved it with a Nine-Method Golden Core?’

‘A Dao Embryo Dharma Aspect formed from a Six Methods Golden Core is already unparalleled in history. But a Nine-Method Golden Core, used to become a Nascent Soul True Monarch?’

The number of cultivators in this world’s history who had accomplished this could likely be counted on one hand. As such, there was no well-known, exclusive term for it.

“In that case, I’ll be the one to name it.”

“Let’s call it…”

“The Immortalized Dharma Body!”

Su Ye nodded, his expression one of pleasant satisfaction.

Ascending to Nascent Soul True Monarch and achieving the Immortalized Dharma Body had greatly eased the burden on his mind.

Relying on his Immortalized Dharma Body, Su Ye, despite being only at the early-stage Nascent Soul, now possessed the terrifying power to defeat, and even kill, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator!

This level of combat prowess already placed him at the very peak of the Yaoguang Islands!

Now, in the Yaoguang Islands, the only ones who could pose a threat to Su Ye were old monsters like the Jade Void Sword Master and Cangyuan Dragon Monarch—individuals who had immersed themselves in the Nascent Soul Realm for many years, reaching Nascent Soul Perfection and the level of Half-Step Divinity Transformation!

However, even existences like them would find it absolutely impossible to kill Su Ye!

Piloting the Tier Five spiritual ship, the Ghostly Flood Dragon, and with the miraculous abilities of his Immortalized Dharma Body, if Su Ye focused solely on escaping and not fighting, he could break free even if besieged by multiple old monsters!

“You could say…”

“From now on, the vast sea is mine to swim and the high sky is mine to fly!”

Su Ye murmured, a glint of icy silver appearing in his eyes.

‘Ascended to Nascent Soul, combat power soaring!’

The pressure from the Jade Void Sword Sect vanished like smoke!

‘I’m finally kitted out!’

“Now… it’s no longer a matter of the Jade Void Sword Sect refusing to let me go. It’s a matter of me refusing to let *them* go!”

Su Ye’s eyes narrowed, a bloodthirsty look flashing within them.

‘At Golden Core, I was timid and cautious. At Nascent Soul, I’ll strike with a heavy fist!’

The Jade Void Sword Sect had tried every means possible to crush him. He had etched this grudge into his very heart!

Killing several Nascent Soul cultivators and plundering the Sword Sect’s territory before was merely an appetizer.

“Luofu State…”

Su Ye’s eyes flickered.

Luofu State, the headquarters of the Jade Void Sword Sect.

Su Ye flexed his fingers, pondering. ‘With my current strength, what are my chances of storming Luofu State and annihilating the Jade Void Sword Sect? Hmm… That would be a bit too risky… It’s better to take it step by step. I’ll gradually clip the Jade Void Sword Sect’s wings, win over the neutral factions in the seas, and build up an unstoppable momentum to ensure a flawless victory.’

Then, his Divine Sense swept over the ruins of the Tingchao Pavilion’s mountain gate. After a bit of effort, he located Tingchao Pavilion’s secret vault.

The Tingchao Pavilion’s secret vault was impressively sturdy. Unfortunately, the Tingchao Pavilion cultivators guarding it had either died in battle or been transformed into demonic creatures.

Without guards, relying solely on the protective arrays was no obstacle for Su Ye at all!

BUZZ.

His Magical Power ground against it for a moment.

CRACK.

The vault’s restrictive seals shattered, and a brilliant light flashed!

“I’m rich!”

Su Ye’s Divine Sense swept inside, and his heart couldn’t help but leap!

Even with his temperament, he couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement at the sight of Tingchao Pavilion’s secret vault.

‘The Nine Sects of the Inner Sea… they’ve ruled the Yaoguang Islands for nearly a thousand years, hoarding the essence of the seas. Their accumulation of wealth is truly terrifying…’

Inside Tingchao Pavilion’s secret vault, there were two thousand top-grade Spirit Stones alone!

The quantity and variety of high-tier resources from the Central Sea Region were astonishing… Some of these spiritual materials were endangered, rarely seen in the outside world for centuries!

Yet here, they were piled up in bundles!

“But, they’re all mine now. Thank you for this gift from nature…” Su Ye grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

‘Nothing wrong with that. A gift from nature.’

Su Ye was so kind-hearted; he had just “de-urbanized” Tingchao Pavilion.

Of course these resources were a gift from nature.

“Jiaojiao, clear it all out. Don’t leave a single Spirit Stone behind… Oh, and any spiritual materials that can strengthen the Divine Kingdom or the ship’s hull, just go ahead and eat them.”

Su Ye summoned the Ghostly Flood Dragon and gave his order.

“Yay! Master, you’re the best!”

Jiaojiao’s eyes lit up, and she was so excited that a small cowlick on top of her head swayed back and forth.

After ascending to a Tier Five spiritual ship, the Ghostly Flood Dragon could be considered a mobile Divine Kingdom, and the method for upgrading its tier was nearly identical to that of a Divine Kingdom.

Devour spiritual materials, devour Spirit Stones, devour living souls, devour flesh and blood… devour everything beneficial to expand the Divine Kingdom’s borders and raise the spiritual ship’s tier!

Thus, Jiaojiao was extremely eager for resources!

“Go on, eat.”

Su Ye smiled gently. The higher the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s tier, the stronger the boons it granted him!

BUZZ.

A black-and-red vortex appeared at the bow of the Ghostly Flood Dragon.

The resources in the secret vault were drawn into the black-and-red vortex and absorbed into the Divine Kingdom Space.

Some of these resources were crushed by the Divine Kingdom Space and integrated into the Ghostly Flood Dragon. The borders of the Divine Kingdom Space began to tremble as landmasses materialized out of thin air, expanding outward into the void!

「In the blink of an eye.」

The area of the Divine Kingdom Space doubled!

Su Ye’s Divine Sense swept across it. The Divine Kingdom Space was now nearly forty thousand square kilometers, which was equivalent to the area of seven “Magic Cities” from his past life!

His mind connected to his status panel. ‘When the Divine Kingdom’s area reaches fifty thousand square kilometers, it can be promoted to a Tier Five Mid-Grade Spiritual Ship. At one hundred thousand square kilometers, it will be Tier Five High-Grade!’

However, the requirement for a Tier Five Top-Grade Spiritual Ship was even higher, needing two hundred thousand square kilometers.

‘Two hundred thousand square kilometers… In my past life, many inland provinces didn’t even have that much land area… This is a truly daunting task…’

Tingchao Pavilion’s secret vault only increased the area by twenty thousand square kilometers.

One could only imagine how many resources two hundred thousand square kilometers would require…

“So, even if there were no grudge between us, I’d have to go up against the Jade Void Sword Sect just to plunder their resources… Otherwise, there’s no way I could gather this much.”

Su Ye shrugged.

Then, with a thought, he used the power of his Immortalized Dharma Body to reap the millions of demonic creatures within Tingchao Pavilion’s mountain gate.

Their lives and souls were harvested by Su Ye and integrated into the Divine Kingdom, causing the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s Divine Kingdom Space to expand by another four thousand square kilometers.

This made Su Ye quite pleased. “The quality of Tingchao Pavilion’s cultivators is quite good. If these were ordinary mortals, even tens of millions of them probably wouldn’t have caused much of an increase.”

His plundering complete and his haul immense, Su Ye piloted the Ghostly Flood Dragon and left the Tingchao Pavilion mountain gate.

Flying into the Gangfeng Layer, he subconsciously prepared to activate his Netherworld Skill to conceal his tracks.

But then, he couldn’t help but laugh. “I am already a Nascent Soul. Why do I need to hide?”

With that thought, he signaled Jiaojiao to lower the spiritual ship’s altitude. At the same time, he deliberately chose a route to the True Treasure Pavilion that passed through the Jade Void Sword Sect’s territory.

‘I’ll return to the True Treasure Pavilion and win over the neutral factions!’

‘As for passing through the Sword Sect’s territory, that’s for revenge, of course!’

“I’ll crush everything in my path!”

“All who stand in my way will be killed!”

A cold smile touched the corners of Su Ye’s lips.

…

「Within a few days.」

Su Ye piloted the Ghostly Flood Dragon wantonly, making no effort to conceal his presence as he tore through the Sword Sect’s maritime territory!

He slew three guarding Nascent Soul cultivators and nineteen Golden Core cultivators, destroyed thirty-five Tier Four spiritual islands and five hundred eighty-six Tier Three spiritual islands, and slaughtered tens of thousands of cultivators from the Sword Sect and its subordinate factions!

As for the economic losses caused by his actions, they were simply incalculable—an astronomical figure!

Everywhere Su Ye passed was left in utter ruin, thoroughly “de-urbanized.” The Jade Void Sword Sect suffered a devastating blow. In several of the rich sea regions they controlled, the Sword Sect’s rule was completely uprooted!

The strongholds where the once high-and-mighty Sword Sect cultivators were stationed had been reduced to rubble!

The Loose Cultivators celebrated as if it were a new year, putting their scavenging skills to use picking through the ruins of the Sword Sect’s strongholds for anything useful.

But their gains were merely a drop in the Vast Sea compared to Su Ye’s!

By plundering resources and devouring souls and flesh, the area of the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s Divine Kingdom surged, crossing the threshold for a Tier Five Mid-Grade Spiritual Ship and continuing to grow.

Now, the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s Divine Kingdom area was over eighty thousand square kilometers, constantly advancing toward Tier Five High-Grade.

This was thanks to the “contributions” of numerous cultivators, especially the few Nascent Soul experts. Every time a Nascent Soul was devoured, their rule-based techniques would also be absorbed by the Divine Kingdom, which was highly effective for expanding its borders!

As for a Nascent Soul escaping its body? Before his Immortalized Dharma Body, there was absolutely no chance of escape!

Furthermore, the two Nascent Soul cultivators Su Ye had previously captured—the early-stage Nascent Soul from Tingchao Pavilion and Jinghua True Monarch from the Jade Void Sword Sect—were also fed to the Ghostly Flood Dragon.

*He had tested it and found that brainwashing a Nascent Soul True Monarch was too difficult, so he gave up and just fed them to the Ghostly Flood Dragon.*

At the same time, Su Ye’s actions harvested a massive amount of experience points, and his Pastor of the Sea class level directly reached the cap of Lv. 20!

[Class: Pastor of the Sea Lv. 20 (MAX)]

[Class Attribute Bonus: Damage +121, Defense +102, Evasion +89, Mystery +89]

“Now that I’ve entered the Nascent Soul Stage, I no longer fear the Sword Sect’s pursuit and encirclement. I can finally plunder freely and rapidly increase my combat power!”

Relying on his attribute panel and the existence of the Ghostly Flood Dragon, Su Ye could convert resources into combat power with incredible speed!

At the same time, as the wielder of an Immortalized Dharma Body, Su Ye discovered another peculiarity. It seemed that to raise his Cultivation Realm… he only needed to accumulate Magical Power?

‘Normally, cultivation in the Nascent Soul Stage involves continuously studying and deepening the rule-based techniques one has mastered, specializing in one to derive a Dao Source.’

‘However…’

Su Ye focused his senses inward. Within his Nascent Soul, the three rule-based techniques of Netherworld, Annihilation Flow, and Life-and-Death were already beginning to take shape, transforming into Dao Sources.

‘In other words, as long as I have enough Magical Power, I can ascend in a single step, leaping from early-stage Nascent Soul straight to Nascent Soul Perfection?’

‘Even if there’s a hidden danger of an unstable foundation, as long as the Ghostly Flood Dragon’s tier is high enough, it can completely compensate for that!’

Thinking this, Su Ye took a deep breath.

‘Am I… about to become invincible?’
