Forging the Chaotic Body

Several months later, the world bowed in submission, and all sects pledged allegiance.

As the uncrowned king of the Green Wood Domain, the Demon Venerable Gu Qingfeng was now in seclusion, preparing to forge his Chaos Body.

Over these months, he had dispatched his subordinates to plunder countless bloodlines of special physiques and an immeasurable trove of heavenly treasures.

The collected bloodlines numbered in the thousands, and the heavenly treasures, if laid end to end, could encircle Sword Gate three times.

With such terrifying resources at his disposal, Gu Qingfeng estimated that forging the Chaos Body should now be within reach.

Though there were only a handful of Saintly Physiques and even fewer peerless immortal-grade treasures, the sheer quantity was still considerable.

It was also worth mentioning that Gu Qingfeng had taken the time to claim the top spot on the Sword Tower's Heavenly Origin Ranking, humiliating the Sword Heavenly Emperor once again and obtaining the Indestructible Sword Body’s origin. Yet, he still hadn’t achieved an Immortal Physique.

Starfall Peak.

Once the secluded cultivation site of Dugu Wei, it had now been usurped by Gu Qingfeng. Inside the cave abode on Starfall Peak, he gazed at the mountains of bloodlines and heavenly treasures crammed within, unable to wait any longer before beginning his cultivation of the Immortal-Demon Body Refining Art.

Following the method to forge the Chaos Body, he commenced his training.

With a sweep of his hand, a divine light shot forth, shattering the thousands of porcelain vials before him.

These vials contained the bloodlines of prodigies from across the Green Wood Domain. As they burst open, the cave was instantly engulfed in a mist of blood.

Gu Qingfeng’s figure blurred within the crimson haze, his once peerlessly handsome face now obscured, lending him an eerie, sinister aura.

Had outsiders witnessed this, they would have surely believed he was consuming human blood to cultivate some vile art—further cementing his infamous reputation as the Demon Venerable.

Gradually, the blood mist in the air seemed drawn by an unseen force, coalescing into wisps and strands that drilled into Gu Qingfeng’s body.

The speed of absorption accelerated with time, and a terrifying vortex formed at his dantian, greedily devouring the blood mist like a whale swallowing the sea.

Time flowed unnoticed, and after an indeterminable period, the blood mist was entirely consumed. Yet the vortex at his dantian showed no signs of stopping, its suction expanding as if unsatisfied.

Now, it turned to the mountains of heavenly treasures filling the cave.

Silvermoon Grass, Primordial Sun Ganoderma, Void Sand, Supreme Blossom, Rainbow Saint Ginseng, Eclipse Milk, Ten-Thousand Zhang Treasure Sprout, Sealed Divine Fruit...

One by one, these priceless treasures had their essence extracted under the overwhelming suction, reduced to dust before being swept into the vortex like a tidal wave.

Three days later.

The terrifying, black-hole-like vortex began to show traces of a profound, chaotic hue.

Seven days later.

The chaotic hue expanded, staining most of the vortex.

Ten days later.

The vortex at Gu Qingfeng’s dantian had fully transformed into a swirling mass of chaos, pulsating rhythmically as if nurturing life within.

A month later.

Crack!

A crisp sound erupted from Gu Qingfeng’s body as the chaotic vortex shattered, releasing boundless chaos energy that instantly swallowed him whole.

In that moment, Gu Qingfeng felt everything around him vanish—space, time, even his own body. He was adrift in nothingness, like a rootless weed, as if transported back to the dawn of creation.

Then, from the void, the voice of the Great Dao whispered, faint at first, then thunderous, as if an immortal sage were enlightening him or a Buddha striking him awake. Gu Qingfeng lost himself in it, intoxicated by the revelation.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, unimaginable changes swept through Sword Gate’s domain.

The Great Dao’s resonance emanated from Gu Qingfeng’s body, echoing across the entire sect.

"What is that sound!?"

"It’s the Great Dao’s resonance!"

"It’s coming from Starfall Peak!"

Countless disciples exclaimed in shock.

Dugu Wei and the other elders of Sword Gate soared into the sky, their faces pale as they stared at Gu Qingfeng’s secluded abode on Starfall Peak.

It was as if they were witnessing an ancient immortal chanting or hearing the prayers of primordial ancestors.

The profound and mysterious resonance of the Great Dao flowed endlessly, vast as the cosmos itself.

The sound seemed to traverse the river of time, arriving from the primordial era, shaking hearts and minds alike.

"What is the Sect Master doing to provoke such a reaction from the Great Dao? Could he be forging an Immortal Physique?"

"Enough talk! This is a rare opportunity for Sword Gate—hurry and meditate upon it!"

Recognizing the invaluable chance before them, the disciples and elders alike immersed themselves in the boundless truths of the Great Dao.

They listened, entranced, like parched travelers stumbling upon an oasis, drinking deeply of its waters.

Many felt their cultivation realms loosening, and some prodigies even broke through on the spot.

Eldors long stuck at the Heavenly Fifth Realm suddenly ascended, attaining the rank of Heavenly Monarchs.

Yet, this was only the beginning.

Suddenly!

The heavens shifted, and the void trembled.

Auspicious signs descended, golden lotuses bloomed from the earth, and radiant light flooded Starfall Peak in a dazzling spectacle.

At this moment, Starfall Peak might as well have been renamed Sunset Peak—for from afar, it looked as though the sun itself had fallen upon the mortal world.

"An Immortal Physique! It must be an Immortal Physique! The Sect Master’s Indestructible Sword Body must have ascended!" Dugu Wei cried out in excitement.

"Sword Gate will finally have another Emperor! Hahaha... Two Emperors in one sect! Two Emperors!"

Dugu Wei danced with joy, and the other elders, infected by his fervor, erupted into ecstatic cheers.

Though Gu Qingfeng had led Sword Gate to dominate the Green Wood Domain, whispers of it being a "demonic sect" had persisted in the shadows, leaving many with unspoken grievances. But now, with the birth of an Immortal Physique, all doubts vanished, replaced by fervent anticipation. Once Sword Gate regained its former glory, who would dare call it a demonic sect?

Just as the crowd reveled, another transformation shook the world.

Three thousand strands of chaos energy descended from the heavens, weaving into Starfall Peak like threads of fate.

At the sight of this chaos energy, Dugu Wei and the others froze, their faces twisting in shock.

"This... this is chaos energy!?" Dugu Wei stammered, unable to believe his eyes.

The legendary chaos energy had manifested before them.

"Why would chaos energy appear!?"

Then, a terrifying thought struck him, and his body trembled uncontrollably. "Could it be... the Sect Master isn’t forging an ordinary Immortal Physique?

But the legendary supreme Immortal Physique—the Chaos Body!?"

"What!? The Chaos Body!?" The other elders gasped in unison, their voices thick with disbelief.

"How is this possible! Does such a physique truly exist in this world?"
