Chapter 808: Chapter 801: Sacred Body

WHOOSH!

The True Fire burned, spreading across his entire body. An inside-out resonance reverberated through every inch of him, expelling impurities through the vibrations and leaving only the pure essence within.

Transformation.

BUZZ!!

Unknowingly, the pores on Zhou Yuanjue’s body opened and closed, releasing Energy. A pristine white Sacred Lotus enveloped his body.

Previously, his Sacred Lotus was a Blood Jade Color—a result of integrating the Deadly Crimson Structure. But now, he had dismantled the Deadly Crimson Structure and replaced it with the Celestial Essence Lotus Hole. As a result, both his physical appearance and the form of the Sacred Lotus reverted to their original state.

Amidst the pure white, twelve circulating Golden veins gave off a look of pristine beauty. The instant the Sacred Lotus form appeared, the essential True Fire spread onto it, forging the Sacred Lotus.

The Sacred Lotus form represented the essential structure of his life. During this forging process, wisps of black mist unexpectedly drifted out from the seemingly spotless Sacred Lotus form. These were impurities that had been completely undetectable before, unknowingly hindering the full manifestation of his life essence’s capabilities.

As the impurities evaporated, the Sacred Lotus form enveloping Zhou Yuanjue began to change. The massive Sacred Lotus, which originally covered an area of three to four meters around him, began to shrink at a visible rate—contracting down to just two or three meters. Yet, as the Sacred Lotus shrank, the Energy contained within it did not weaken; instead, it became even more condensed and vast.

But that was not the most crucial part. The changes within the essential structure of his life were even more profound.

Originally, fusing other life structures through the Simulation structure produced an effect similar to grafting trees. Different structural abilities were grafted onto the same branch. While they could produce different effects simultaneously, these effects were strictly delineated. The various fused structures occupied different areas, never interfering with one another.

Now, under the forging of the True Fire, the original forms of these structures were melting. Eventually, they would fuse completely with one another, integrating flawlessly with the branch that was Zhou Yuanjue’s body.

When that happened, these structures would no longer be foreign, Simulated constructs. Instead, they would coalesce into an unprecedented structure that encompassed all of his previous abilities.

For other life forms, breaking through the First layer Transformation Boundary merely meant strengthening their intrinsic abilities. For Zhou Yuanjue, however, it meant not just an enhancement of his abilities, but their complete fusion. Only then could he say that he had truly mastered these structures.

Time ticked away as Zhou Yuanjue completely immersed himself in this state of transformation.

Nearly two months later.

The Sacred Lotus form enveloping him had shrunk by a third. No longer able to completely cover his body, it could only float above his head.

All the structures had fused perfectly into one, becoming an entirely new entity. His respiratory system connected with his digestive system, which in turn linked to the Twelve True Meridians. The Puppet Structure completely integrated into one of Zhou Yuanjue’s cellular abilities, no longer appearing as red threads.

At this very moment, Zhou Yuanjue truly felt his body undergoing an evolution and a profound leap. His structural abilities and physical capabilities were now indistinguishable from each other.

"Is this how it feels to break through the First layer Transformation Boundary?" Zhou Yuanjue muttered to himself. A continuous surge of Power rushed out from his body, giving him an urge to test it immediately.

Moreover, it wasn’t just an improvement to his structures and physical body. He could feel that after being forged by the True Fire, the intrinsic nature of Simulation had undergone a transformation as well. He could now Simulate and fuse various structures above the First layer Transformation Boundary.

He thought, "This newly fused ability is fundamentally different from what it was before. It can be considered a brand-new structure and deserves a new name. Using the Sacred Lotus Dao to induce human metamorphosis and transcend mortality... I’ll name this the ’Holy Body Structure’."

Zhou Yuanjue had chosen an appropriate name for this new structure. However, the current Holy Body Structure was still incomplete. Only when all the functions of his entire body were replaced by structural abilities would it become a truly perfect Sacred Body.

He wondered if it was possible to construct a complete Holy Body Structure within the first three Transformation Boundaries. If not, it didn’t matter. He would try for the fourth layer, a realm no one in the East Thirteen Districts had ever reached.

Subsequently, he began conducting a series of tests on the Holy Body Structure. For example, a dismantling test. Before the First layer Transformation Boundary, he could freely dismantle and swap any fused structure. He wondered what the situation was like now.

After some attempts, he discovered that the Holy Body Structure, having been forged by the True Fire, was completely unified. Like melted steel forged together, it was nearly impossible to separate, let alone detach the previous structural modules individually.

After further experimentation, he realized that dismantling it wasn’t entirely impossible. However, everything would have to start from scratch. He would need to undergo the entire process of Simulation, fusion, and the True Fire forging of breaking through the boundary all over again just to swap out a fundamental structure.

Undoubtedly, this would consume a massive amount of time. It seemed he would need to be much more meticulous when selecting structures for fusion in the future.

After completing a few basic tests, he stopped.

Going into seclusion for nearly four months at a stretch was nothing to True Realm Life forms, who were long accustomed to the passage of time. For him, however, it was a very long period of isolation. After being inactive for so long, his whole body felt as if it were rusting.

He used his willpower to disable his True Talisman’s message-blocking function. Instantly, a barrage of notification chimes echoed in his mind like machine-gun fire.

There were messages from Anjina, Dorobaku, and the others, as well as from Qianyue Jian and Qingling’s group. Qingling and the others, in particular, were very eager to know if he had broken through the First layer Transformation Boundary and whether they could have a sparring session.

Well, it seemed free punching bags really did deliver themselves to his doorstep.

A faint smile graced Zhou Yuanjue’s lips. He simultaneously sent a message to the four of them, confirming that he had broken through the First layer Transformation Boundary and that they could gather whenever they had the time.

Following that, he contacted Anjina and the others, stating that he was ending his seclusion and asking about their current situations. Dorobaku and his group replied that they could end their own seclusion at any time. They had all been waiting for Zhou Yuanjue’s update. Upon learning that he had broken through the First layer Transformation Boundary, they eagerly expressed their desire to test the current extent of his strength.

Shortly after, he also received replies from Qingling’s four-person group. All four stated they were not far from the Chiyan Safety Zone and would arrive within three days.

Knowing there were so many punching bags waiting for him the moment he ended his seclusion, Zhou Yuanjue revealed a faint smile.
