Chapter 15 Fire Domain Heart Transplant
Zhao Tianpeng, holding the little girl's hand and protecting her with divine light, stepped into the fire domain. After going in for seven or eight miles, the color of the flames changed from crimson to light blue, and the temperature became even hotter. Mortals who stepped into this place would be roasted into a dried corpse in no time. He did not use his divine power to protect himself, but only his blood and qi surged, and the scorching fire waves naturally parted to make way for him.
After walking several miles further in, the color of the flames changed again, from pale blue to milky white, like flowing emulsion, hazy and indistinct. Here, the terrain was no longer flat, and many huge rocks appeared, with large areas of stone forests scattered everywhere.
The flames here are enough for some cultivators in Dao Palace Secret Realms to forge ordinary materials into artifacts, but not enough to melt down Divine Mark Purple Gold.
Zhao Tianpeng continued deeper into the area, reaching the region of the fourth color of flame. Here, the flames shimmered with a dark light, like ghostly fire, terrifyingly black, burning silently.
Upon reaching the fifth level, golden flames flickered, which even his physical body could hardly resist, forcing him to channel divine power to support himself.
Upon entering the sixth level of the Purple Qi East Fire Domain, the flames here were not like raging fire, but rather like flowing purple mist, creating an eerie and hazy atmosphere. At this point, the flames were beyond his ability to resist. A golden light flew out from the Sea of Bitterness and transformed into an ancient golden temple standing above his head. Buddhist chants resounded within the temple, and Buddhist light descended to protect him and Xiao Nannan. Under the blessing of the forbidden artifact's laws, his physical body gained a trace of immortality, comparable to the reincarnation of an ancient emperor's bloodline.
Zhao Tianpeng carefully contemplated the laws, repeatedly pondering the Shakyamuni lineage that had been set aside: "Does it involve cultivating divine thought to achieve a golden body and Dharma form, using divine thought to bless the physical body to make it immortal?"
He had a new idea in mind, but now was not the time to delve into it. It would be more efficient to explore it after he had refined the Divine Mark Purple Gold.
He led the little girl into the seventh floor, where the five-colored clouds and mist were hazy and did not resemble flames at all. They looked more like celestial energy, which was peaceful and serene, but also terrifying. Fortunately, with the support of the Quasi-Emperor's forbidden artifact, the flames could not harm him.
"Nannan, stay by my side and don't run around."
"Once I've refined this treasure, I'll take you out to play."
"it is good."
Zhao Tianpeng noticed that the little girl looked a bit disappointed and asked her what was wrong.
"Every now and then, Nannan forgets everything from the past and has no memory of it at all. In a few days, little Nannan will forget her big brother and all the happy things that happened during this time."
The little girl was feeling a bit down.
Zhao Tianpeng patted her head and laughed, "I thought it was something serious. Don't worry, I have a way to help you preserve your forgotten memories."
The little girl's obsession with the Dao fruit of a ruthless person continues to wander in the mortal world, constantly and spontaneously severing her experiences, reinforcing again and again the obsession of the little girl who missed her brother when she was a child. This is not something he can interfere with or reverse.
However, a magical artifact can be crafted to help her record her memories, so that she can know what happened each time she loses her memory.
After comforting the little girl, Zhao Tianpeng prepared to begin refining the Divine Mark Purple Gold. The thing he wanted to refine ultimately had to be integrated with his body, and only by refining it within his body could he achieve the desired effect. Therefore, relying on the quasi-emperor's forbidden artifact to enhance his physical body, he was not afraid of the five-colored flames. He directly swept up a large amount of five-colored mist and sent it into his Sea of Wheels, where it gathered into a five-colored blazing flame. Waves of heat emanated from it. If it weren't for the protection of the golden ancient temple, his Sea of Wheels would probably have been evaporated.
He sketched out what he wanted to refine in his mind, and as his divine sense outlined its form, it was a heart! This heart was no different from a human's, but it was covered with strange patterns, and there were seven orifices arranged in a mysterious formation on it.
This is what he wants to refine: the exquisite seven-aperture heart.
Zhao Tianpeng cast the Divine Mark Purple Gold into the five-colored sun, hammering and forging it with his heart and mind, his spirit highly concentrated, like a fully drawn bow. The sun scorched it, and the Divine Mark Purple Gold gradually changed shape. After one day, two days, and seven days, it emitted a resounding clang, as if real iron was being forged, the sound carrying far and wide.
Seven days later, the divine marks of purple gold completely transformed into a heart radiating purple light. On it, the divine marks transformed into strange patterns that were connected together, and the seven orifices were arranged in a mysterious manner, emitting the radiance of wisdom.
This exquisite seven-aperture heart is complete.
But this is only the first step. Zhao Tianpeng is going to use the Ghostly Corpse Cultivation Secret Technique: the Heart-Swapping Technique!
For cultivators, insufficient comprehension is an obstacle to climbing the Great Dao. As a result, various methods to improve comprehension have emerged, such as seeking divine medicines to improve comprehension, refining precious pills to improve comprehension, and creating supreme scriptures to improve comprehension, etc.
Among the corpse cultivators in the Ghost Path, there is also a method to improve their talent and comprehension, which is the Heart-Swapping Technique!
Corpse cultivators typically seek out and capture exceptionally talented individuals, using a heart-swapping technique to transplant their hearts into their own bodies, thereby acquiring their talents and abilities.
However, many exceptionally talented individuals have powerful backgrounds and are difficult to capture. Therefore, the Heart-Swapping Technique has gained another secret method: refining the Exquisite Seven-Aperture Heart. As long as one finds materials related to talent and comprehension, whether it be divine stones, immortal trees, or immortal gold, they can be used to refine the Exquisite Seven-Aperture Heart and then transferred to oneself using the Heart-Swapping Technique.
When Zhao Tianpeng obtained the Divine Mark Purple Gold, he considered how to use it. After much deliberation, he decided to refine the Exquisite Seven Apertures Heart to enhance his talent and ability. After all, although his comprehension was that of a genius, it was not to the point of being exceptionally talented. With the Exquisite Seven Apertures Heart, coupled with his ability to stand at the height of his vision of achieving enlightenment through unconventional means, wouldn't this be equivalent to the Great Emperor starting his cultivation again when he was reborn as a youth?
The exquisite seven-aperture heart transformed into a purple light and flew out from his sea of suffering, landing in his hand. Zhao Tianpeng opened his robe, silently channeled his profound magic, and with his fingers forming a sword, he slashed at his heart. A red-glowing gash split open from his heart, revealing the beating heart inside. As he channeled his profound magic, the heart was enveloped in crimson light, gradually transforming into crimson pills the size of chicken eggs. The pills jumped out from his heart, landed on the exquisite seven-aperture heart, and merged into it.
"Knock knock, knock knock..."
The exquisite seven-aperture heart, forged from divine purple gold, began to beat. Zhao Tianpeng stuffed the exquisite seven-aperture heart into his heart, and under the operation of the profound method, it completely merged into himself. Then, with a flick of his sword finger, a flash of blood-red divine light appeared, and his heart split open and healed.
As the Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart merged with him, streaks of purple-gold divine marks transformed into Dao patterns that flowed through his flesh and blood. The Dao divine marks permeated his skin, and purple immortal light overflowed from every pore.
Zhao Tianpeng felt as if all the dust in his heart had been swept away, and the whole world was no longer the same in his eyes. Although the area in front of him was still a fiery domain, he could catch wisps of Dao runes in it. His thoughts were working much faster than before, not just faster, but also a change in the way he thought.
Now, standing at a higher level of perspective from an alternative path to enlightenment, he looks at his tombs of kings and gods and finds there are many areas for improvement.
