The Secret of the Physical Body’s Sixth Domain!_3 Grasping the Tao through spontaneous contemplation was naturally inefficient, whereas with certain Heaven and Earth marvels bearing the imprint of the Great Dao, entering its gate and mastering it became much simpler.

How could such an item of great use even to Saints be something that could be purchased with spiritual stones?

For this reason, the status of Dao Source Crystals became apparent.

These items could aid Saints in their cultivation, converting their achievements, and could help any Saint to quickly reach the pinnacle of their current realm.

Thus, they were naturally of great use to Saints.

So they became the de facto currency among Saints.

Previously, Ye Chanxi had proposed exchanging all the resources Jiang Yuan had previously harvested for Dao Source Crystals, in order to enhance his cultivation.

This was something Jiang Yuan did not oppose.

He wouldn’t know the true effect of the Dao Source Crystals until he tried them out,
But they would certainly not disappoint!

After all, these were the cultivation resources of Saints, containing energy naturally terrifyingly potent, far surpassing any ordinary heavenly and earthly treasures, or miraculous elixirs.

Moreover, with his intrinsic Devouring Great Dao, he would surely be able to quickly devour the energy within the Dao Source Crystals, allowing himself to smoothly reach the peak of the Ninth Heaven in the Cave Realm.

However, Jiang Yuan didn’t want to just wait for that batch of Dao Source Crystals to be sold.

He had some ideas of his own and would not attempt to prove and become a Saint without sufficient preparation, especially not the heavenly tribulation to become a Saint.

While becoming a Saint through the heavenly tribulation would cause a greater stir,
Given Dugu Bo’s concealment of his cultivation realm, it would draw out even bigger forces from the Demon Tribe.

Jiang Yuan didn’t believe they would sit by and watch him grow.

But he was unsure what kind of scene a heavenly tribulation unseen for a million years would ultimately provoke,
It might even draw the attention of those from the Three Major God Mountains.

That was his greatest hesitation.

Yet, without transcending the heavenly tribulation to become a Saint, how could he have a legitimate reason to declare it to the world, enticing the Saints of the Demon Tribe to enter the fray?

Jiang Yuan pondered over this issue with some distress, his mind filled with hesitation.

This decision was not an easy one to make!

And at that moment,
As he reflected, he had already arrived at the summit of the Cloud Sea.

The small courtyard ahead was where Dugu Bo resided.

“You’ve already come this far, why stand outside the courtyard?”

Dugu Bo was sitting in the courtyard in front, his figure visible through the fence as he was sipping tea with a teacup in hand.

Jiang Yuan smiled and approached the fence-like wooden gate to gently push it open.

Squeak–
The turning wooden gate emitted an ear-piercing noise of age.

“Dean, I greet you,” Jiang Yuan said.

Dugu Bo smiled faintly, put down his tea, and gave Jiang Yuan a look-over.

“Not bad at all! You survived three days and nights without weak knees!”

Jiang Yuan: “…”

Seeing Jiang Yuan’s speechless expression, Dugu Bo immediately laughed heartily.

He then continued, “What brings you to visit this old fellow today?”

Jiang Yuan pulled out a wicker chair and then sat down.

“Three days have passed; it’s time for proper matters! How can I continue to indulge in the land of warmth and pleasure?”

While speaking, Jiang Yuan casually flipped open a teacup and poured himself a full cup of steaming hot tea.

Watching this scene and listening to Jiang Yuan’s words, Dugu Bo chuckled, “Young in age, but not in ambition! You’re able to endure this, lad; you’re bound to accomplish great things!”

Jiang Yuan took a sip of the hot tea, the liquid flowing down his throat and into his stomach, instantly making his Spiritual Platform seem clearer.

“Excellent tea!” Jiang Yuan praised.

“Of course it’s excellent tea!” Dugu Bo replied with self-satisfaction, “These leaves come from a tea tree that is over a hundred thousand years old, how could it be anything less than wonderful?”

Jiang Yuan took another careful sip, savoring the taste.

After a moment, he set down his teacup and looked straight at Dugu Bo.

“Dean, what are your current thoughts on the sixth secret realm of the physical body?”

Dugu Bo’s smiling expression instantly became serious and focused.

“I’ve pondered the next step for hundreds of years, and from any angle I infer, it should indeed be the Spiritual Platform at the brow,” he said.

Jiang Yuan nodded, “I share the same view.”

As he spoke, Jiang Yuan tapped his own brow with a finger.

“Moreover, my instincts tell me it’s the direction for the next realm of the Flesh Body Path; the Spiritual Platform nurtures the primordial spirit, and the primordial spirit represents the self.”

“The Four Extremes Realm opens up the Four Great Dao Palaces, symbolizing earth, wind, water, and fire, and thus pioneering the Cave Heaven World.”

“While the Five Great Secret Realms of the Body represent metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, the fundamental constituents of the world.”

Hearing Jiang Yuan’s words, Dugu Bo nodded in approval.

“What you say is correct!”

Jiang Yuan then gestured towards the sky.

“If this world has a will of Heaven, then the previous failure in pioneering an inner world within the body without the Boundless Realm might be due to the lack of this heavenly will,” he said.

“Pioneering the sixth secret realm, the primordial spirit not only becomes the self but can also embody the will of the world within the body.”

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo furrowed his brows slightly, deep in thought.

“Your deduction certainly makes sense, I too have considered and tried it,” he said.

“But all ended in failure.”

Jiang Yuan spoke, “Dean, could you tell me about the entire process of your previous attempts to pioneer a world within your body?”

Caught off guard by the question, Dugu Bo was startled before regaining his composure.

“Indeed, I forgot about that!” he said.

The next moment,
He waved his hand, and a glowing white light flew towards Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan reached out to catch it promptly.

Upon opening his palm, he saw a piece of white jade shining on his hand.

“This object contains all my attempts and viewpoints on the Flesh Body Path over the years, originally intended for the disciple who could inherit my mantle, to continue walking this path.”
