Chapter 177 Innate Dao Body

Chapter 177 Innate Dao Body

Upon hearing this, the sixteen-foot-tall golden body and the Five Elements Mountain exchanged glances, both feeling unwilling.

You must understand, they are sect leaders, powerful figures. Although they are not the strongest since the beginning of time, they are still powerful figures who have dominated the heavens and the earth and swept across the various states of the upper realm. Now, how could they be willing to flee in fear just because of a single word from the other party?

But seeing the empty space where the Immortal Celestial had disappeared, they dared not make a move.

After all, if the other party could so easily make them return to the upper realm, they could naturally make them return easily as well.

Seeing the hesitant Golden Body and the Five Elements Mountain, the little pagoda immediately moved closer and chuckled, "You still don't want to leave? Or do you want to be destroyed and become a laughingstock?"

Upon hearing this, the sixteen-foot-tall golden body finally sighed slightly, its form flickered, and it transformed into a golden beam of light, departing in sorrow.

"Sizzle!"

Upon seeing this, Wuxing Mountain also trembled and fled into the distance.

As they left, the place returned to peace, and Shi Hao and the immortal figure instantly flew to Liu Shen's side.

"The Willow Goddess!"

Looking at the stunningly beautiful Liu Shen opposite him, Shi Hao couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise.

This was the first time he had seen the Willow God's physical form. He never expected it to be so extraordinary, as if it had come from chaos, carrying the aura of countless ages, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

At the same time, the immortal being beside him, though knowing that Willow God had come to save Shi Hao, still respectfully thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your help!"

But Liu Shen only glanced at the other person before turning to Shi Hao and saying, "Come with me."

After saying that, he resolutely turned around and walked away into the distance.

Seeing this, Shi Hao and the immortal being exchanged glances, and then quickly followed.

Before long, the two followed the Willow God to the depths of the Primordial Treasure Realm, where there were magnificent waterfalls, boundless lakes, and towering mountains, with ancient trees reaching the sky, spiritual energy rising, and flowing with rosy light.

"Little brother, you've gotten into trouble again after all this time!"

Just then, a voice that Shi Hao was extremely familiar with rang out, which made him startle and immediately turn his head to look.

Shi An was standing in front of a large tree, with three thousand streams flowing beside him.

"Brother, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing Shi An, Shi Hao immediately moved and came to stand in front of him.

Shi An first glanced at Liu Shen, then smiled at Shi Hao and said, "Liu Shen said there is an opportunity here, so he sent me to try my luck."

"I see!"

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao nodded, said nothing more, and turned to look in the other direction.

There, the immortal creature had somehow folded its wings, its golden feathers had disappeared, and in its place was a suit of golden armor.

At this moment, his hair was shorter, he was not tall, and looked to be no more than twenty or thirty years old. His face was chiseled, with distinct angles, and was light golden in color.

It was clearly a human-looking creature; its true form was completely obscured, and its true nature remained a mystery.

Driven by curiosity, Shi Hao secretly took out the double-pupil eye he had obtained in the capital and began to observe it in secret, hoping to find out the other party's origin.

To his surprise, as soon as he activated his double pupils, he saw a dazzling golden light shining down upon him. The golden light was so bright that he could not look directly at it, like a golden sun burning with divine light.

Shi Hao was immediately startled, feeling his consciousness being burned and experiencing some pain.

The immortal being merely glanced at Shi Hao in response to his presumptuous actions, without saying anything further.

Instead, it was Xiaota who appeared from nowhere, approaching Shi Hao and saying, "Aren't you curious to know what he is?"

Seeing that his actions had been exposed, Shi Hao felt embarrassed, but still nodded and said, "I am indeed curious."

Upon seeing this, Xiaota immediately burst into laughter: "This guy isn't human, and he has no father or mother; he sprang from a rock."

"No father or mother? Sprout from a stone? What kind of being would that be?"

After hearing the little tower's explanation, Shi Hao became even more curious, and his gaze toward the immortal beings was filled with a hint of inquiry and surprise.

Seeing the little tower mocking him so freely, the immortal being's expression immediately turned cold. He glanced at the little tower, his golden pupils flashing with a blade-like light, radiating an aura of pressure.

"What an ungrateful wretch! I was just telling the truth, was it really that big of a deal?!"

Seeing the immortal being angry, the little tower immediately pretended to be serious, and then mysteriously muttered to Shi Hao, "Actually, this guy hatched from an egg, but because the gestation period was so long, it took millions of years, that's why I said he popped out of a rock."

He should have stayed away from it, but when he heard that the creature had actually stayed in the egg for millions of years, Shi Hao was shocked again. What kind of creature was this? It was terrifying!

However, what Xiaota said next made Shi Hao curious again.

"Otherwise, why do you think he's so strong? He's just a mere postnatal being. If he hadn't been nurtured for millions of years and received an innate mark, how could he be so difficult to kill?"

"A congenital mark?"

Shi Hao's heart skipped a beat. These beings were divided into innate and acquired types? Could it be that only innate beings could reach the end and become the strongest?

Thinking about it, Shi Hao couldn't help but frown, feeling a mix of doubt and resentment.

Perhaps sensing his confusion, Liu Shen calmly said, "Living beings are neither born with innate nor acquired qualities. What if one is born strong? Ultimately, one has abandoned certain insights."

"On the other hand, by taking one step at a time, experiencing more and gaining more insights, one can break through the limitations of one's innate abilities and reach a higher level once one rises up."

After listening to Liu Shen's explanation, Shi Hao nodded and then asked again, "Liu Shen, I have another question to ask."

As he spoke, Shi Hao glanced at the immortal being beside him and finally asked, "Since you and he each have different original forms, why have you both taken on human forms?"

"Little brother, let me answer this question!"

However, before Liu Shen could answer, Shi An spoke first: "There are countless forms in this world, yet there are several forms that are naturally close to the Dao."

"Like a tower!"

At this point, Shi An glanced at the small pagoda and continued to explain, "There are also bell-shaped, jade butterfly, and blue lotus shapes, among which the human form is the best."

"Because humans are born with consciousness, they are the most intelligent of all beings, and thus possess the innate Dao body."

"good!"

Seeing that Shi An had such an understanding, Liu Shen nodded and then said, "Just as Shi An said, humans are born with an innate Dao body, and by cultivating with this body, it is easier to achieve immortality."

After hearing the explanations from both sides, Shi Hao was surprised again. He did not expect that the human form was actually close to the Dao innately, and even called the innate Dao body.

Surprised, Shi Hao couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Looking at the immortal being, he hesitated and asked, "Um... although this senior has a human form, it seems to still retain a pair of wings. Is this also a type of innate Dao body?"
