Chapter 244: Flesh Transformed into Spirit

The realm of Spiritual Transformation is truly a wondrous stage. For Shi Hao, it is no longer a dull practice but a spiritual enjoyment.

Transforming various symbol lights within the flesh, refining them in myriad ways, guiding them in countless ways, reshaping their form, and evolving their spirituality—this is like planting seeds of life in the soil, watching them sprout, take root, and grow vigorously, full of vitality and upward energy, creating a sense of new life.

Shi Hao sat cross-legged, his forehead glowing, his consciousness full, immersed in a state of Dao, constantly changing, his physical body becoming translucent, like glazed divine gold.

Time flowed by. The walls of the Kunpeng Nest were very tranquil, undisturbed, silent except for a young man with a deep yearning for cultivation, fully immersed in it.

His heart was clear and calm, without any intense emotional fluctuations. A smile curled at the corners of his mouth, reflecting his true self, immersed in a state of joy.

In a short time, his body became hazy, enveloped in a glow. The flesh was sparkling, even whiter and more translucent than a woman's skin, extraordinarily beautiful.

This was the illumination of spiritual brilliance, cleansing the entire body.

With crackling sounds, his limbs and bones resonated, transforming into a melodious tune. The bones glowed, each one trembling, becoming even more brilliant.

A layer of luminous membrane appeared on the bones, resembling metal or crystal, very radiant. If someone were present, they would surely be astonished that a newcomer to the Spiritual Transformation realm could achieve this.

While most begin with the flesh, he was proceeding synchronously, with even the deepest bones undergoing such changes.

Drawing spirituality into the bones, this layer of luminous membrane is crucial. It adheres to the bones, greatly strengthening them, making the entire body radiant, like divine bones.

This is a crucial step. The further spiritual transformation of the bones not only benefits cultivation but also greatly enhances agility, strength, and other attributes.

Moreover, his flesh was naturally undergoing changes as well. Every inch was like a treasure gate, now opened, with spiritual brilliance illuminating and nourishing the flesh.

At this moment, he was radiant all over, as if divine beings were seated within him, protecting his form and spirit.

From inside out, and from outside in, both processes were occurring simultaneously, blending bones and flesh together, a layer of luminous membrane emerging, finally reflecting on the surface.

Shi Hao’s body was covered by a layer of luminous membrane, like a divine skin, making him appear sacred and transcendent, with a sense of purity and perfection.

At this moment, he seemed to come from the divine realm, not belonging to the mortal world, his entire being free of impurities, with every part of him—from bones to flesh—constantly transforming, becoming even more crystalline.

Spiritual Transformation means seizing the creation, evolving one's own spirituality, and transcending oneself, like a glazed Dharma body, illuminating the void, free of dust and impurities, with only a divine nature.

The realm of Spiritual Transformation is a process of reshaping the true self, a transformation different from the past, evolving from flesh to spirit, then communicating with the Ten Major Heavens, generating spirituality, all undergoing transformation.

Initially, it starts from the blood, then the skin and flesh, then the organs, and finally the bones, advancing to deeper levels.

Now, Shi Hao’s spiritual transformation was comprehensive, with no layer-by-layer progression, no separation or opposition, but rather a holistic transformation of the flesh.

The blood glowed, becoming a crystalline river, nourishing the flesh. Spiritual light vaporized from the flesh, cleansing the organs, making them translucent like pieces of jade, and finally the bones glowed.

The injuries he sustained in recent battles had healed, and his internal organs were now fresh and dripping with vitality, like works of art, not resembling human organs.

This process was both mysterious and important. A layer of luminous membrane appeared on every part of Shi Hao, translucent and sparkling, full of vibrant vitality.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, eight or nine days had gone by. Despite the rise of many heroes and the wars between various tribes, Shi Hao remained unmoved, absorbed in his own world.

He forgot everything else, focused solely on cultivation and enlightenment.

With anxiety gone and away from conflicts, his heart was peaceful and serene, very different from before, always filled with a sense of joyous achievement.

A mist of twilight surrounded him as Shi Hao inhaled the mist and exhaled auspicious light. Dragon-shaped Qi pillars moved in and out of his mouth and nose, breathing with a special rhythm, neither fast nor slow, always in accordance with a certain pattern.

It could not be too fast or too slow; it was his own rhythm. After the dragon-shaped Qi pillars flew out, they circled around his body, lifting him up.

This strange phenomenon, with such rich auspicious Qi, appeared very mysterious. Shi Hao’s body continued to transform, the membrane solidified, merging with the flesh, organs, and bones, becoming part of them, no longer distinct.

Half a month passed, and Shi Hao finally opened his eyes. The nest walls were silent, with ancient trees stacked together, generating a mist of spiritual energy.

His eyes were bright, full of spirit, and there was a sense of spirituality about him. The entire person was clear and bright, reflecting the manifestation of the flesh's transformation into spirit, with a very extraordinary aura.

Without a doubt, his realm had elevated, and his combat power had greatly increased, showing remarkable results. He had passed a very important milestone.

In the realm of Spiritual Transformation, there are several major steps. First is the transformation of the flesh into spirit, followed by the reformation of the true self and the nurturing of spirituality in the Ten Major Heavens.

Among these, the transformation of the flesh into spirit is the most crucial and foundational step. However, this step can only be approached, and it is very difficult to achieve complete success. If it were truly perfect, it would be extremely formidable.

The reality is that at this step, many people merely refine spiritual light, cleanse the flesh, and temper the bones, routinely completing this process.

Even pure-blooded beings find it difficult to truly transform the flesh into spirit and achieve perfection. Nevertheless, even so, they can progress to the next realm and continue cultivating.

Throughout history, although people have always talked about "transforming the flesh into spirit" and named this stage accordingly, few have truly succeeded.

"I am still in the process. There is more to truly becoming spiritual," Shi Hao muttered to himself.

If one could truly achieve it, the flesh would become a spiritual embryo, capable of harnessing various spiritual powers for oneself. Not only would the speed of cultivation during breathing and enlightenment be greatly increased, but it would also allow the use of an enemy’s spiritual essence when they attack.

The benefits of transforming the flesh into spirit are endless and profound. Only those who truly reach that step can truly understand.

Suddenly, he sensed something and turned to look into the distance. Through the mist, a pair of golden, lantern-like eyes appeared, with a strong fluctuation.

This was a formidable presence, not simple at all.

Initially, Shi Hao was on guard, but soon he relaxed and was taken aback. It was actually the furball, looking distressed, staggering along with its tiny paws holding its little belly, finally climbing onto the ancient wooden nest wall.

Then it rolled over, unable to move further. Heaven knows what it had eaten; its little belly was round and plump, already round but now even more so.

"You went to gather spiritual herbs, and your strength has greatly increased," Shi Hao said in surprise.

The furball had been in a deep sleep recently, comatose. Shi Hao had long suspected it was undergoing a transformation, regaining some of its former divine power, which had indeed come true.

The furry, golden-furred furball had woken up not long ago. Seeing Shi Hao still in meditation, it had sneaked away to gather nearby spiritual herbs, eating to its heart's content, now thoroughly stuffed.

The moment it opened its mouth, a surge of rosy light erupted, with its mouth, nose, and ears emitting spiritual energy. It was astonishing that if someone else had consumed so many spiritual herbs, they would have exploded by now.

"Quickly recover. I’m counting on you to teach me the divine art of the Three Heads and Six Arms," Shi Hao said, holding it up and asking about the situation outside.

The furball shook its head. It didn’t know much, having only focused on eating when it woke up and hadn’t ventured far.

"You glutton," Shi Hao teased, giving it a gentle tap. Then he patted his own stomach, which was rumbling with hunger, realizing he was starving too.

In a flash, he vanished from the spot. Half an hour later, he returned with several spiritual herbs, crunching them loudly as if he were munching on carrots.

Seeing this, the furball looked disdainful, squeaking and indicating that Shi Hao was also a glutton, so he had no right to criticize it.

Inside the Kunpeng Nest, there were several forbidden grounds covered with spiritual herbs, lush and verdant, creating a dizzying view. In the outside world, even ancient kingdoms would wage wars over such places.

"I must achieve the transformation of the flesh into spirit," Shi Hao said to himself, beginning a new phase of cultivation.

He was already well-versed in this great realm, constantly seeking transcendence and striving to reach the pinnacle of each stage, moving towards the legendary.

Several days later, he opened his eyes again and found the furball sneaking in with a stone tablet covered in ancient text.

"What is this?" he asked in surprise.

The furball gestured that it had stolen the tablet, hence its sneaky behavior.

At this time, the outside world was chaotic, with various tribes searching within the nest, frequently triggering forbidden formations, causing many powerful individuals to perish. Nevertheless, there were still significant gains.

People discovered some stone tablets, which, although not recording divine techniques, were valuable. They were left by the Kunpeng and detailed some of its life events.

Seeing others scrambling for them, the furball joined in, and including this one, it had dragged back eight tablets.

Shi Hao looked to the side and indeed saw a pile of tablets. He patiently studied and examined them, noticing that although there were no secret methods, they mentioned the Kunpeng’s experiences of training and hard practice after birth.

One tablet even mentioned that this sea area was very similar to the Kunpeng’s birthplace, with a similar environment, making it suitable for young people to hone themselves.

Shi Hao stretched his body and said, "Let’s go outside."

Eventually, they followed the path out of the Kunpeng Nest and discovered that many people had also emerged because, despite the exploration, countless had been injured or killed without finding the ultimate treasure technique.

Many began to doubt whether such a supreme divine art really existed in the nest.

Now, people were more cautious, sending only a portion of their forces into the nest for exploration while others waited for news, as the ongoing consumption was unsustainable.

Shi Hao plunged into the azure sea with a splash, beginning a new phase of cultivation and self-honing.

Under the sea, there were indeed extreme places like the Yangji Cave, Xuanbing Abyss, and Meteorite Valley—ideal spots for spiritual transformation and body refinement that most people would never see in their lifetimes.

The Yangji Cave was filled with blazing firelight, incredibly brilliant underwater, with seawater unable to extinguish its form.

The Xuanbing Abyss was frozen solid, where the seawater was completely frozen, requiring one to break through to approach it.

The Meteorite Valley was filled with celestial meteorites, some of which were rare divine iron, having fallen here and piled up into mountains.

These places were terrifying, with violent spiritual energy that could shatter a person instantly. Training here could be considered both a paradise and a hell.

"The Kunpeng cultivated and honed itself here in its youth," Shi Hao said to himself, beginning another arduous journey of cultivation.

Day and night, he immersed himself in these places for a full three months, channeling various spiritual forces into his body and pushing his physical form to its peak.

Eventually, in the pitch-black depths of the sea, a figure opened its eyes, emitting two divine bolts of lightning, astonishingly. He softly spoke to himself, "The transformation of the flesh into spirit has succeeded."
