Wayfarer-Chapter 1046: The Transcendent Physical Body

As the Superior's spiritual power poured into Xia Yu'er's purple moon, a resonant hum sounded. Her purple moon trembled as if resisting the onslaught of spiritual power.

Xiao Nanfeng narrowed his eyes. "As expected, there are still traces of the Superior left in your purple moon—but don't worry. I'll handle it."

He had subdued his three moons in the past partially due to the Superior's soul essence and partially because his cursed effigies had helped suppress the Superior's traces. However, Xia Yu'er's purple moon was pure and untouched by any cursed effigies. Fortunately, with Xiao Nanfeng's three moons hanging in the sky, he was able to suppress what traces of the Superior remained within her purple moon.

As resonant hums filled her body, Xia Yu'er gradually subdued her purple moon over the course of a full day. A wisp of white mist was expelled from her moon—a lingering trace of the Superior.

"Nanfeng, I've completely mastered the purple moon!" Xia Yu'er exclaimed excitedly.

"Familiarize yourself with it for now," Xiao Nanfeng replied.

"Got it!" Yu'er nodded.

Xiao Nanfeng then turned toward Lan Yaoguang. "Prepare to subdue your blue moon."

Lan Yaoguang nodded, and she underwent the same process with Xiao Nanfeng. After a day, she too fully subdued her blue moon, from which another wisp of white mist was expelled.

Next was Zhang Lingjun.

Just as the Superior's spiritual power ran out, Zhang Lingjun likewise subdued her red moon fully, and a final wisp of white mist was expelled.

The three wisps of white mist converged and slowly merged into a single, extremely weak silver moon.

Xiao Nanfeng sneered. "As expected, Superior, you wouldn't die so easily."

The Superior's silver moon trembled as if it might collapse at any moment. It transformed into an eye, which glared at Xiao Nanfeng with intense hatred. "Once my Darkborn army arrives, all of you will perish."

Xiao Nanfeng scoffed. "Doom? What nonsense. We've already slain you. What can your subordinates do? No matter how many Darkborn come, we'll kill them all."

The silver moon's eye burned with fury, filled with boundless hatred.

Xiao Nanfeng said coldly, "Enough. I don't have time to waste on you."

With that, he sealed the silver moon with a hum.

Xia Yu'er, Zhang Lingjun, and Lan Yaoguang were deep in meditation as they worked on comprehending the moons they had just subdued. Meanwhile, Xiao Nanfeng walked over to Madam Rouge, Liu Miaoyin, and the Divine Emperor, who were studying the half of the golden tree that he had provided them with.

"Have you made any progress?" he asked.

The three women turned to him. Madam Rouge said, "This golden tree seems to have a miraculous ability to encompass all things. We suspect that if we each take a portion of the golden tree, we can break through the barrier that prevents us from integrating more divine trees."

Xiao Nanfeng blinked. "You mean, you can use the golden tree's energy to control more than three branches of the world tree? Can you each manifest a nine-colored tree?"

Madam Rouge nodded. "Yes, but the new divine trees we create won't manifest in full. As long as we're on this planet, your nine-colored tree will always be primary, and ours secondary."

"Just because they can't manifest now doesn't mean they never will. Even if they can't manifest on this planet, we can modify other planets in the future to allow you to manifest your own giant nine-colored trees," Xiao Nanfeng said.

"But..." Madam Rouge hesitated.

Xiao Nanfeng understood her concern and smiled. "We're husband and wife, united as one. Do you think I'd mind you becoming stronger? Let's do it. Everyone, take a portion of this golden tree and integrate it with your own world trees. I'll manifest my nine-colored tree to help you complete the root system."

The three women nodded gently.

They immediately got to work as Xiao Nanfeng stepped out of the hall and looked to the north.

Over the past few days, Xiao Nanfeng had arranged for the evacuation of all the people and lifeforms in the northern regions.

With a wave of his hand, he summoned his giant nine-colored tree there. Its roots plunged into the earth.

A resonant hum echoed as the nine-colored tree erupted with billions of rays of light that illuminated the entire world. In the next moment, the spiritual aether of the entire planet began to converge toward the nine-colored tree at an astonishing rate. The tree's roots rapidly extended deep into the earth, drawing nourishment from the planet with a rumble.

The giant nine-colored tree wasn't stealing from the planet; rather, it was as if the tree had awakened the planet itself.

The planet, which had been rotating and orbiting as per usual, suddenly trembled as the nine-colored tree took root. A powerful magnetic field formed within its core that allowed it to draw in vast amounts of dark matter from the depths of the universe.

The Yuqing Grandmaster, who had been in secluded cultivation, suddenly opened his eyes, which flashed purple.

He could see even that which others couldn't. Dark matter seemed to manifest in his vision. The entire planet was like a colossal mouth, devouring invisible dark matter from the universe and expelling what it didn't need. It was as if the planet was breathing, inhaling and exhaling cosmic energy.

The Yuqing Grandmaster murmured thoughtfully, "What an incredible nine-colored tree. With it, this planet is no longer a dead star—it has come to life. A withered tree has been reborn, and the world has been transformed. The planet and the world tree complement each other, achieving mutual growth. Can both the planet and the World Tree ascend?"

The Taiqing and Shangqing Grandmasters likewise witnessed this scene. They felt a hint of envy, but quickly suppressed such thoughts as they returned to their meditation.

As the nine-colored tree took root, the spiritual energy in Yongding surged visibly. The spiritual aether of the entire world began to gather around the tree. Strangely enough, however, the spiritual aether density across the world actually increased. Plants and trees, bursting with vitality and life, flourished across the world.

Xiao Nanfeng could sense the nine-colored tree pouring vast amounts of energy into his body, and he quickly arranged for the women to gather around him.

Madam Rouge, the Divine Emperor, and Liu Miaoyin each took a third of the golden tree. While referencing the nine-colored tree Xiao Nanfeng had manifested, they began to integrate with their own trees. Xiao Nanfeng revealed the rules and laws of the nine-colored tree to them, allowing them to comprehend and cultivate at an astonishing speed.

Meanwhile, Xia Yu'er, Zhang Lingjun, and Lan Yaoguang were also meditating. They cultivated their respective Qing Yin Body techniques as they prepared to undergo a breakthrough.

With the women all intent and focused, Xiao Nanfeng busied himself with his own preparations for advancement. He retrieved a golden orb, the distilled essence of the Superior's physical body.

The three Qing Grandmasters had also coveted the Superior's main body. After all, it contained an immense quantity of highly refined energy. If not for their desire for the golden tree and the chaotic nature of the Superior's energy, they might not have been willing to give it to Xiao Nanfeng at all.

Now, however, it was all his.

Xiao Nanfeng swallowed one of the golden orbs. A torrent of energy surged through his body, rushing through his limbs and bones like a raging river.

Without hesitation, he continued to consume the remaining golden orbs one by one. With a series of rumbles, the energy within him exploded, threatening to tear him apart. The energy was too vast and powerful—even his incredibly powerful body was on the verge of collapse.

"Nine-colored tree!" Xiao Nanfeng called out.

With a resonant hum, his giant nine-colored tree began to draw in much of the golden orb's energy to help him suppress it all.

"Sky of Ten Suns, Imposing Avatar of Rulai, Jade Emperor's Frame!" Xiao Nanfeng intoned.

With a cry, ten golden crows emerged from his body. They, too, were overwhelmed by the immense energy, flapping their wings frantically amidst golden flames as they underwent a transformation.

Behind Xiao Nanfeng, a ten-thousand-foot-tall projection appeared—a Buddha eidolon, though one with his face. The manifestation radiated overwhelming power. His body was repeatedly torn apart and then restored as his Imposing Avatar of Rulai was tempered again and again, causing it to grow stronger and even surpass the limits of the technique.

His bones shone with dazzling light, as bright as the sun, as if they were filled with the essence of heaven and earth. The aura was so powerful that the people of Yongding felt an irresistible urge to bow in reverence.

Explosions echoed within Xiao Nanfeng's body. Despite the immense pain, he endured it all unflinchingly—his cultivation was rapidly improving.

The state lasted for ten days and ten nights before he finally exhausted all the energy from the Superior's main body.

With a deafening boom, a bell tolled within his body and resonated through the heavens. It pierced through clouds and mist alike as it spread across the entire world. A powerful aura swept through the four continents, causing everyone on the planet to tremble.

In a distant location, the Shangqing Grandmaster abruptly stood up from meditation, looking toward Yongding with an expression of disbelief.

The Taiqing and Yuqing Grandmasters did the same as they gazed into the distance.

"A physical body, tolling like a bell... Is there a realm beyond the peak of the Boundless Immortal realm?!" The Shangqing Grandmaster was shocked beyond belief.

"A new realm?" the Taiqing Grandmaster murmured.

"Just how did he do it?" the Yuqing Grandmaster exclaimed in awe.

All three Qing Grandmasters were stunned. They had always believed that the pinnacle of physical cultivation was the peak of the Boundless Immortal realm. To go further, one had to unify body and soul—the primordial ascension. Somehow, Xiao Nanfeng had found a way to transcend these physical limits.

At that moment, the six women who had been meditating beside Xiao Nanfeng also stopped short. Their eyes sparkled with amazement and joy, thrilled by Xiao Nanfeng's unprecedented breakthrough.

Xiao Nanfeng felt a surge of joy at his sudden breakthrough, only for him to frown. Something seemed amiss. Although he had forged a path unknown to history, it seemed to have some unforeseen consequences.

He waved his hand and dispelled the seals on the Superior, intending to test his newfound strength as a reference for his cultivation.
