Chapter 494: The Great Sage Body Transmits the Dharma

"Whoosh!"

A terrifying claw, as large as a winnowing basket, reached out. It was covered in greenish-black hair and dripping with blood, a fearsome sight that sent chills down one's spine.

The old madman's eyes blazed with intense silver light. Threads of this light shot out like silver dragons, slashing towards the greenish-black hand.

"Clang!"

This was a Saint's technique, capable of reducing endless mountain ranges to dust. However, the silver light, after striking the large claw, failed to destroy it.

Dazzling sparks flew, making a clanging sound as if striking divine iron. The large hand, like a ghostly claw, slowly reached upwards, unstoppable.

"Isn't he dead? Has he become a Corpse Saint?" Li Heishui and the others quickly retreated, taking cover behind the old madman.

Inside the hundred-zhang long black stone coffin, ten pools of vivid, alluring blood water churned. The large claw, covered in greenish-black hair, suddenly extended, appearing eerie and terrifying.

The ancient Saint's incorruptible body floated above the blood, but its head was twisted off. This, combined with the large claw, made the scene even more horrifying.

Even the invincible Heavenly Emperor, lord of the world, had been choked to death. How could anyone not feel utterly defeated? Everyone felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar, their breathing nearly stopping.

The aura emanating from the ancient coffin was extremely oppressive. It carried not only monstrous killing intent but also immense, mountain-like pressure that threatened to shatter one's mind.

"Hmph!" The old madman let out a soft cry. He moved his hands, acting with unprecedented seriousness for the first time, demonstrating a Saint's supreme techniques.

Small, foot-long dragons swam between his palms and fingers. These were innate patterns, and he was evolving the supreme Great Dao.

Threads of chaotic mist flowed, and the Dao diagram was profound and unfathomable. He moved his hands, creating sounds of wind and thunder, followed by the eruption of earth, fire, wind, and water, as if creating heaven and earth.

"Boom!"

A Dao diagram appeared, filled with the aura of the primordial beginning. It seemed like the Great Dao of creation itself, just formed, had been captured by him, exuding boundless majesty.

At this moment, the entire Sacred Cliff, all fifty-odd black mountains, began to tremble, striking fear into their hearts.

The old madman let out a soft shout, raising his hand and pressing it downwards. The enormous primordial Dao diagram, held at his fingertips, was struck into the ancient coffin.

"Splosh!"

Half a pool of blood splattered out. The large hand, covered in greenish-black hair, was enveloped by innate patterns. Ten thousand small dragons swam around it, and the Dao diagram continued to evolve, circulating the aura of the supreme Great Dao.

"Boom!"

Overwhelming immortal might surged, rushing into every corner of the Sacred Cliff. The formation patterns left by the ancient Great Emperor did not obstruct it; instead, they emitted threads of light, jointly sealing the ancient coffin.

"Rumble..." The fifty-odd black mountains standing side by side, all severed from the Undying Mountain, were now shaking, on the verge of collapsing. "Thud!"

Finally, the large hand covered in greenish-black hair was suppressed by the primordial Dao diagram, falling heavily into half a pool of blood water. It splashed a large amount of fresh blood, which shockingly caused the void to annihilate.

Everyone's expressions changed. If that had struck a person, death would have been certain. Even after tens of thousands of years, the blood in the coffin remained terrifying!

"A single drop of blood is enough to kill a powerful cultivator..."

The patterns woven by the innate lines descended, sealing the blood pool. Even the Heavenly Emperor was suppressed beneath it.

"What a pity, the supreme assassin's scepter is also sealed within the blood pool," Li Heishui lamented.

"The methods of a contemporary Saint are truly heaven-defying..." the big black dog exclaimed in awe. It had already prepared for the worst, never expecting the old madman to seal away the ghostly claw.

They moved away from the ancient coffin and once again began to study the Nine Secrets Dao Diagram imprinted in the air, contemplating it carefully.

Ye Fan held a Bodhi seed and observed carefully, discovering that the Dao diagram had nine layers. He was astonished, realizing why it was said that an ancient Saint had consumed an undying divine medicine and lived two lifetimes to cultivate the 'Movement' secret to its ultimate realm, entering the Divine Realm of Time.

It possessed the marvel of seizing the creation of heaven and earth, requiring several lifetimes to comprehend fully, not something easily achieved in an instant!

However, if it were merely a matter of speed, it wouldn't take so long. The cultivation of those ancient Saints had already reached the divine realm.

Ye Fan's mind was clear and serene. He knew he wouldn't be able to fully comprehend it in a short time. Using the Bodhi seed to aid his enlightenment, he copied all nine layers of the 'Movement' secret into his mind.

Aside from him, the big black dog and Li Heishui found it difficult to do the same. The Dao diagram was blurry, making it hard to grasp completely.

Of course, the old madman could easily imprint it. He had already comprehended all of this and no longer needed to observe, having already begun to deduce it in his mind.

The big black dog boasted, "This Emperor is a genius! I've copied four diagrams in such a short time! I'm going against the heavens!"

It stood upright, loudly proclaiming its intent to defy the heavens, running at extreme speed on the Sacred Cliff on two legs, leaving Ye Fan quite speechless.

"This damn dog is too eccentric!" Li Heishui fumed.

He had only managed to copy two diagrams with great effort, and whether he could comprehend them was another matter. Yet, he saw a large dog running around on two legs, learning quite proficiently, which truly enraged him.

Heavy leaden clouds gathered, about to press down. A mysterious aura permeated the air, making the entire black mountain range seem eerie.

The old madman looked up at the sky, then flicked his sleeve. The hundred-zhang long stone coffin lid flew up and settled back onto the ancient coffin, closing it once more.

Afterward, they all sat cross-legged on the Sacred Cliff, closing their eyes in silence. Each was comprehending their own Dao, and even the restless big black dog grew quiet.

"Crack!"

Who knew how much time had passed, but the ancient coffin suddenly emitted a loud sound. The coffin lid shifted out of place, and a jade-green large claw stretched out.

Everyone opened their eyes, their hearts pounding in fright. It was as if they were being stared at by a supreme demonic god; every inch of their flesh convulsed, refusing to obey them.

"It's coming out..." Xiao Niannian was nearly crying from fear, hiding behind Ye Fan.

"Bang!"

The coffin lid fell heavily to the ground. A majestic and towering figure stepped out of the ancient coffin, its eyes as sharp and piercing as knives!

"What?!" Everyone was stunned, not expecting events to unfold so suddenly. The corpse of the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body had crawled out.

Its majestic posture was upright, towering at least two heads above ordinary people. It was like an immortal divine demon, looking down upon all living beings, ruling the rise and fall of the earth. Time could not erode it; it would exist eternally!

Those eyes were especially terrifying, impossible to look at directly. Its thick, blood-soaked hair was matted together. An immortal power flowed within it, and its entire body was covered in greenish-black hair, exuding an oppressive aura that threatened to shatter one's mind.

"This is the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body!" "It's not truly dead; has an evil spirit possessed its body?!"

Li Heishui and the others were unable to move; they couldn't even escape. The immense pressure and terrifying aura pressed down on them, nearly causing them to faint.

The old madman stood up. He was equally tall and majestic, his gaze like silver dragons, staring at the terrifying demonic body before him, confronting it.

"Thump," "Thump..." This towering ancient corpse walked forward step by step. Its gaze was terrifying, like two divine lamps, shooting out unparalleled brilliance.

The old madman's black hair danced wildly, his aura rapidly ascending. He also strode forward, completely fearless, ready to confront this ancient Saint Corpse.

"This is bad. He's been possessed by an ancient creature. His physical body is unparalleled; damn it, he could sweep across the world!" the big black dog muttered with a bad premonition.

Suddenly, the majestic demonic body stopped. It did not press forward further. It fixed its gaze on Ye Fan, its eyes unblinking, two divine lights almost connecting to Ye Fan's body.

"Boom!"

Ye Fan's golden blood energy immediately boiled throughout his body. He found that he could move, and he suddenly stood up straight, his entire being surging with vitality.

His body was like seven-colored glazed glass, clear and flawless. Golden blood energy surged out, dazzling and resplendent. Sacred blood flowed rapidly like a surging river, and thunderous rumbling sounds came from within his body.

A resonance occurred between the Sacred Bodies!

The green lotus in Ye Fan's Wheel Sea emitted ten thousand zhang of green light, enveloped in chaotic mist. It suddenly rushed out and flew towards the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body.

"Whoosh!"

The green light flashed and vanished. The three-leaf green lotus disappeared into the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body's Wheel Sea.

Xiao Niannian exclaimed, pulling at his clothes corner, looking nervous.

Li Heishui was also dumbfounded, unable to speak.

Ye Fan had experienced this once before, so he felt no fear. He calmly focused his mind, sensing carefully, thinking this might be a great opportunity!

His spiritual sense seemed to split into two: one part remained in his own body, while the other entered the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body's Wheel Sea.

At this moment, Ye Fan was deeply shaken. His mind immersed within the Wheel Sea of the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body, he witnessed what a true 'sea' was!

Even though it was nearly dried up, the golden sea of suffering was still vast and boundless, without end. Monstrous divine power surged within it, and golden divine light almost tore heaven and earth apart.

Relatively speaking, his own golden sea of suffering was merely a small lake, or even a small puddle, vastly inferior to that of the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body.

"Is this the manifestation of the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body's invincibility throughout the world?!" Ye Fan was truly awestruck.

How long must one cultivate to accumulate such vast divine power? Even on the verge of drying up, it was still unmatched in the world!

"No wonder it could contend with the ancient Great Emperors..."

The last time, Ye Fan had obtained an auxiliary secret technique from an un-accomplished Sacred Body. Now, he naturally had even greater expectations, earnestly deducing and searching.

"Boom!"

The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body's Wheel Sea finally revived. The endless golden ocean seemed to shatter this part of heaven and earth, surging skyward, with the green lotus rising and falling within it.

Outside, Li Heishui and the others were horrified. The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body erupted with ten thousand zhang of golden light, causing endless mountains to crack.

Any area not protected by the Great Emperor's formation patterns silently turned to dust. However, this Sacred Cliff remained intact under the protection of the Investiture of the Gods.

The old madman's expression grew incredibly solemn. He emitted a divine light, protecting Xiao Niannian and the others within it, forming an impenetrable light barrier.

"The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body is terrifying. Its body, dead for so many years, can still emit such dreadful fluctuations..." They knew this was merely the tip of the iceberg, and it was impossible for it to truly display the supreme sacred might of the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body.

Within the ocean-like golden sea of suffering, Ye Fan discovered the trajectory of divine power flow. He saw a similar secret technique!

It was a supreme Dao diagram, transformed into a vast ancient scroll, flowing with mysterious energy. Endless chaos surged within it.

He was immediately captivated. This was actually a sacred method for cultivating a single secret realm, very similar to the techniques he had obtained before!

"It has many more variations, and is even more profound..."

Ye Fan was shocked. This was practically a secret technique tailor-made for the Sacred Body. If combined with an ancient scripture, it could be continuously deduced to cultivate a single secret realm to its ultimate extent.

"This is the complete ancient method; what I received last time wasn't a perfect single secret art!" Ye Fan suddenly understood, feeling immensely excited and joyful at the same time.

This was not a mainstream cultivation method, but an auxiliary secret technique. It could help him cultivate a single secret realm to its most profound state, evolving the ultimate Dao realm of the Wheel Sea.

Ye Fan completely immersed himself, gradually exploring. He copied down the complete Dao diagram, then ascended into the Dao Palace, continuing his exploration.

"It's the same..." He was astonished. This secret technique was suitable for every secret realm, providing assistance. The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body's Wheel Sea, Dao Palace, Four Extremities, and Dragon Transformation secret realms, and others, were all cultivated with the aid of this secret technique.

"Excellent!" Ye Fan knew this was a priceless treasure, an unparalleled secret method for his future advancement into the supreme realm.

He felt that this should be an auxiliary secret exclusive to the Sacred Body, of great significance and inestimable value to him.

The more Ye Fan explored, the more shocked he became. The Great Accomplishment Sacred Body had astonishingly cultivated every single secret realm to its absolute limit, which was truly astounding.

Ancient cultivators specializing in a single secret realm and reaching its ultimate limit was already a world-shaking achievement, making them invincible. Yet, the Great Accomplishment Sacred Body had specialized in cultivating all of them!

"No wonder its combat power was unparalleled, able to contend with ancient Great Emperors. After reaching the peak, it needed to re-specialize in cultivating each of its secret realms..."
