Chapter 2356 Retreat and Practice
"Have we found the path that Emperor Qiheng spoke of?"
Multiple restrictions were set up here, so An Xiruo didn't need to worry about the contents of her conversation being leaked. She didn't use any telepathic techniques and simply parted her cherry lips slightly.
"I vaguely touched it."
Chen Qingyuan pondered for a while but couldn't give a definite answer.
This feeling is rather peculiar, seemingly real yet unreal, seemingly real yet seemingly nonexistent.
After much thought, I still find it difficult to articulate the nuances it contains.
"Progress is a good thing."
An Xiruo sat down next to Chen Qingyuan. Her soft, warm body and gentle voice, soft and delicate, whispered into his ears, sending shivers down his spine.
"This road is not easy to travel."
Chen Qingyuan said solemnly.
"Throughout history, only the progenitor of the ancient gods has accomplished this, and the difficulty involved is extraordinary. However, I believe in my brother's abilities, and I am certain that he will succeed."
An Xiruo has a deep-seated love and boundless admiration for Chen Qingyuan.
"let it go!"
Chen Qingyuan had no idea what the future held.
The only thing he could do was to keep moving forward with all his might, and he would not back down no matter what difficulties he encountered.
"Brother, would you like me to massage your shoulders?"
Before Chen Qingyuan went into seclusion, An Xi wanted to do something that would allow her to get closer to him and also relieve some of his mental fatigue.
Chen Qingyuan would never refuse such a good offer, and smiled slightly: "Okay."
So, An Xiruo got up and walked behind Chen Qingyuan, stretched out her hands, slowly placed them on Chen Qingyuan's shoulders, and kneaded them vigorously.
The pressure from the soft, delicate hands made Chen Qingyuan feel as if he were surrounded by clouds. He subconsciously closed his eyes, immersed himself in the experience, and his body and mind relaxed.
Peaceful and beautiful moments pass in the blink of an eye.
After giving An Xiruo a few instructions, Chen Qingyuan stepped into the deepest part of the palace and set up a barrier to ensure that he would not be disturbed by the outside world.
The secluded retreat is a closed, secret room.
A few wisps of mist surrounded each corner, within which lay the soft glow of the sunset.
Chen Qingyuan sat cross-legged in the center of the secret chamber, dressed in white, with an otherworldly air, like a banished immortal.
He was facing forward, toward a thick wall.
His gaze was so sharp that it pierced through the walls and reached the depths of the starry sky, peering into the mysteries of the universe.
A few breaths later, a gentle breeze stirred in the secret room, blowing the thin mist back and forth.
Invisible arcs swirled around Chen Qingyuan.
Every arc embodies the ultimate principles of the world.
Along the way, Chen Qingyuan became familiar with the Great Dao and Imperial Methods of many predecessors. In particular, his trip to Tian Shu Tower, where he entered the Dao Evolution Diagram and witnessed the process of the Taiwei Emperor's discourse on the Dao against the flow of time, benefited him immensely.
"road......"
Gazing ahead, Chen Qingyuan saw not this wall, but his past self, and the endless river of history.
In a daze, he glimpsed countless skeletons in the long river of history. These skeletons were all famous figures in life, but now they were buried in a corner, telling of endless resentment.
Hundreds of tiny blue lotuses, each the size of a fingernail, sprouted all around him, blooming simultaneously in a scene of breathtaking beauty.
His eyes occasionally flashed with thin red lines, giving them an eerie quality.
"Where lies the path to perfecting the Dao?"
If Chen Qingyuan wants to forge a unique path to enlightenment, he must first cultivate his Reincarnation Dao Body to perfection.
But how can one achieve perfection?
According to the historical records Chen Qingyuan had learned, throughout the ages, only he possessed such a physique.
The only example worth learning from is Xie Wuyai, who was born seven million years ago. He had the foundation of the Three Elixir Body and was only one step away from creating the Sea of Reincarnation, but he failed to do so even after exhausting his entire life's efforts.
"Can the fusion of the Three Thousand Great Daos be successful?"
Chen Qingyuan had this idea before, but he had been trying it out without actually putting it into action.
"I don't have much time left; I need to do further analysis."
The appearance of the eerie black mist foreshadows an impending new wave of terrifying storms.
Chen Qingyuan couldn't predict when the storm would break out. The only way was to become stronger as soon as possible so that he could protect himself and those he cared about during the turmoil.
"Come!"
Having made the necessary preparations, Chen Qingyuan began to implement the cultivation path he had envisioned.
Words become law, and the void trembles slightly.
The surrounding Daoist arcs moved in an orderly fashion toward Chen Qingyuan.
There are about forty arcs, representing the way of the ancient emperors.
Most of the rules of the Imperial Way were comprehended by Chen Qingyuan from the Dao Evolution Mystic Diagram.
If it weren't for the power of Emperor Taiwei, the difficulties he faced would have been much greater, and the time required would have been extremely long.
The situation is so urgent that time is of the essence.
hum!
Strands of transparent arcs successively entered Chen Qingyuan's brow.
Immediately, Chen Qingyuan activated the Dao Scripture he had created, allowing the profound essence of the Emperor's Dao to circulate through his meridians and finally return to the Sea of Reincarnation.
Each arc must be guided into the body with utmost care.
If one is not careful, the physical body may suffer a backlash.
It took Chen Qingyuan more than ten years to complete this step.
All paths enter the body, and all return to the cycle of reincarnation.
If it were any other physique, it would have been torn apart by the Dao of the Emperors long ago. The Sea of Reincarnation is different; it is extremely inclusive, embracing all things, allowing the body to remain largely unaffected and maintaining a special balance.
Every inch of Chen Qingyuan's skin shimmered with a pale white light.
His body is undergoing subtle changes.
The process of integrating the Dao went quite smoothly, without any unexpected incidents.
Before this, Chen Qingyuan had tried many times, but he had never gotten to the final step.
Chi Chi!
Soon after, many tiny electric currents began to crackle and flicker around Chen Qingyuan's body.
Integrate the ways of the emperors into yourself, and use this to hone your Dao body.
Suddenly, a strong burning sensation swept over my whole body, as if I were being roasted by a raging fire.
The burning sensation vanished the next moment, leaving the body feeling as if it had fallen into an ice cave, the chill penetrating to the bone and eroding the soul.
Various pains came one after another, but Chen Qingyuan did not show any discomfort. He remained expressionless, as if nothing had happened.
"The intensity is not enough."
Chen Qingyuan was talking to himself.
This level of pressure is far from reaching the limits of the Reincarnation Body.
To reach the state of perfection, one must naturally take certain risks and constantly push the limits of the physical body in order to find an opportunity to break free from constraints.
Bang!
As the power of the Emperor's Dao rules increased, Chen Qingyuan's physical body emitted a muffled sound, and in some places, his skin tore open, and a few strands of supreme precious blood flowed out.
It was just a minor injury; Chen Qingyuan remained calm and unconcerned.
"continue."
Chen Qingyuan was determined and had no intention of stopping.
The perfection of the Dao body is the first step towards the supreme God's throne! And it is also the most important step!

(It's highly unlikely that it will make it into the top ten. Many readers are too lazy to vote, which is understandable; they have no obligation to do so.)
(Thank you so much to all the fellow cultivators who voted. Excluding the fixed one day off each month, I will still be updating three times a day this month.)
