"Of course, I won't let you suffer, Shidi. I heard you're cultivating the *Ba Jiu Xuan Gong* (Eight Nine Arcane Art). If this works out, I, Old Sun, will cover all the resources you need to cultivate to the ninth level!"

Sun Wukong patted his chest and said, "Of course, even if it fails, I'll give you a magical power and a handy weapon."

The *Ba Jiu Xuan Gong* has nine levels. At the Yuanshen (Primordial Spirit) demon god level, one can cultivate the first to third levels; at the Fanxu (Void Return) demon god level, one can cultivate the fourth to sixth levels; and at the Tianshen (Heavenly God) level, one can cultivate the seventh to ninth levels.

Once the third level is completed, the body will be comparable to a Xian (Immortal) ranked magic treasure, making it difficult for even ordinary Tianxian (Heavenly Immortals) to injure it. Once the sixth level is completed, the body will be comparable to a Pure Yang magic treasure, allowing one to make a name for oneself in the Three Realms. And once the ninth level is completed, the body will be comparable to the ultimate Pure Yang magic treasure, with the strength of a mid-grade Xiantian (Primordial) spiritual treasure.

At this level, one can definitely be considered indestructible, truly able to roam the Three Realms unhindered. Only great powers can injure them, and even some great powers need special means to break this indestructible body.

However, cultivating to the ninth level requires countless resources. For example, the first three levels require nearly a hundred Xian-ranked high-grade elixirs. And cultivating to the sixth level requires a thousand times more than the first three levels, roughly equivalent to ten Pure Yang high-grade treasures!

Ten Pure Yang high-grade treasures are not a small number, even for Tianshen Zhenxian (Heavenly God True Immortals). Take Silver Moon Tianshen, for example. He has only cultivated to the sixth level. The reason is simple: cultivating the last three levels requires at least a thousand times more than the first six levels!

As for Sun Wukong, he did cultivate to the ninth level, but that was because he accidentally broke into the pill room of Taishang Laojun (Lord Lao), one of the incarnations of the Three Pure Dao Ancestors, when he wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace. He ate many immortal pills, including quite a few Pure Yang and Da Luo elixirs, so he was naturally able to reach the ninth level.

But apart from him, there are almost no others in the Three Realms who can cultivate the *Ba Jiu Xuan Gong* to the ninth level at the Tianshen level. Because even for the top Dao Ancestors, the resources consumed to help a Tianshen cultivate to the ninth level would be painful for them.

Therefore, Sun Wukong's offer to help Jiang Xuan cultivate the *Xuan Gong* to the ninth level is indeed an extremely tempting condition. Moreover, the relics left by Nuwa Niangniang (Goddess Nuwa) could not possibly harm the living beings of the Three Realms. Even if one fails to pass through, there will ultimately be no life-threatening danger.

"Since Shixiong (Senior Brother) has said so, then I, Shidi (Junior Brother), agree." Jiang Xuan accepted Sun Wukong's request. After all, it would indeed take a lot of time to cultivate the *Xuan Gong* to the ninth level on his own. He really couldn't ignore Sun Wukong's conditions.

Moreover, he also believed that Sun Wukong had that kind of strength. He had the strength of a top Dao Ancestor in ancient times, and his current strength is even closer to the leader level. Perhaps he is only one step away from breaking through to Zushen (Ancestor God). It is definitely not difficult to come up with the resources to cultivate to the ninth level.

Not to mention his high status in Buddhism, he is the Fighting Victorious Buddha. It would not be difficult for him to put together a set of resources.

"Hahaha, then I'll be waiting for you to transcend the tribulation, Shidi!" Sun Wukong smiled happily. Although everything is still unknown, he is willing to believe Bodhi Daozu (Bodhi Grandmaster). Apart from Nuwa Niangniang, he is the being he trusts the most.

"Mm." Jiang Xuan also nodded.

…

In the immortal mansion, Jiang Xuan sat cross-legged, with Xian Dan (Immortal Pills) floating in front of him. These Xian Dan were all white jade in color, with a faint fragrance, and contained vast energy.

These are Xian-ranked high-grade Xian Dan, which Jiang Xuan himself can refine, and he hasn't even paid for a single immortal herb required for refining.

According to the rules of the Hundred Herb Hall, he trades with his Shixiong (Senior Brothers) Yin Yue, Jiang Jun, and Daoji on Mount Fangcun, as well as other disciples of Mount Fangcun. They give him immortal herbs, and he refines Xian Dan, then he takes 30% of them.

Although the success rate of Xian-ranked high-grade Xian Dan is not too high, Jiang Xuan's main body has already begun to prepare after his second primordial spirit left, and now he is naturally well prepared.

If ordinary Zifu (Purple Mansion) cultivators or Wanxiang (Myriad Phenomena) Zhenren (True Men) were to consume these Xian-ranked high-grade pills, they would basically be unable to refine them and would cause their Zifu to explode. After all, the pureness of the Yuan Li (Primordial Energy) within is comparable to the magic power of Tianxian.

One Xian-ranked high-grade pill is worth a high-grade Xian-ranked magic treasure, and ten are worth a top-grade Xian-ranked magic treasure. Now that Jiang Xuan has refined more than a hundred, that's ten top-grade Xian-ranked magic treasures!

This is only enough to cultivate the first three levels. Cultivating to the sixth level requires a thousand times more resources, roughly equivalent to a hundred Pure Yang top-grade Xian Dan. That price is indeed very high.

"I'll refine the first three levels first."

Jiang Xuan thought, while swallowing a Xian Dan, and then began to operate the *Xuan Gong* method. The philosophy of the *Ba Jiu Xuan Gong* is the same as the *Hun Dun Gang Dou Jing* (Chaos Stellar Dipper Sutra), both want to refine the body into an indestructible magic treasure. However, the deduction of the *Hun Dun Gang Dou Jing* at the Daogong (Dao Palace) Nine Stars stage is becoming increasingly difficult, and some Daogong are in the inner world, so Jiang Xuan has only opened eight gates, and his body strength is only comparable to a Tian (Heaven) ranked top-grade magic treasure.

Therefore, it is clear that the *Ba Jiu Xuan Gong* is more suitable if he wants to improve quickly in a short time.

"Buzz buzz buzz~~~"

As the first Xian Dan was refined, Jiang Xuan's entire body began a fundamental transformation. His tendons, bones, muscles, skin, hair… even every part of his body was rapidly transforming.

The first level was quickly completed. Once this level is completed, the physical body can be comparable to a Tian-ranked magic treasure. However, Jiang Xuan has already reached this level, and now he is taking it a step further, getting closer and closer to a Xian-ranked magic treasure.

After that, Jiang Xuan continued to refine Xian Dan one after another, and the strength of his body was constantly transforming.

"Clang clang clang~~~"

During the cultivation process, roaring sounds came from within his body. Some muscles collided with each other, as if two mountains were colliding. This is a kind of tempering. Under the guidance of the *Xuan Gong* method and with the help of the Xian Dan's medicinal effects, Jiang Xuan's body was constantly transforming.

Moreover, with the original foundation, his physical body is stronger than ordinary Fanxu demon gods. However, as the strength increases, this advantage is constantly shrinking.

As Jiang Xuan's cultivation became more and more profound, the internal organs, the skin on the surface, and even the hair were constantly being tempered. Even each of his hairs was emitting a divine light, and even if a Sanxian (Loose Immortal) frantically tried to chop it off, they would not be able to break it.

"Boom~~~"

I don't know how long it took, but a roar came from Jiang Xuan's body, and his skin faintly glowed with black light. His whole person was like a terrifying magic treasure. Then the black light converged, and he became ordinary again. His skin was fair, even crystal clear, and it was impossible to see how strong he was.

Only Jiang Xuan could feel the amazing power. Now his body can definitely collide head-on with Xian-ranked magic treasures. Even if those Fanxu Dixian (Earth Immortals), or even some weak Tianxian, were to stand there and hit him, it would be difficult for them to hurt Jiang Xuan now.

"Infinitely close to a mid-grade Xian-ranked magic treasure, it seems that the amplification of the *Hun Dun Gang Dou Jing* is also not small. After opening up the Chaos Golden Core world, I can first deduce the cultivation methods of the Zifu, Tianfa (Heavenly Punishment), and Shuangji (Dual Extremes) three Daogong, perhaps I can transform again."

Jiang Xuan thought to himself. The Zifu, Tianfa, and Shuangji three Daogong are all located in the inner world, and are also the starting point for Daogong Nine Stars cultivation. If they can really be opened up successfully, they should be able to transform again.

"It's just that the resources for the fourth to sixth levels are a bit troublesome." Jiang Xuan was a little distressed. The first three levels are fine, he can solve them himself, but the fourth to sixth levels are difficult.

Either he refines 100,000 Xian-ranked high-grade Xian Dan, or he has 100 Pure Yang top-grade Xian Dan, otherwise he will definitely not be able to practice to the sixth level.

However, no matter which method, it is very troublesome for him. He can't take out so many resources now.

"Should I go to Monkey Bro?" Jiang Xuan could only turn his attention to Sun Wukong, preparing to pre-borrow some "salary."

Of course, this matter must have other conditions. After all, if he fails, he can't let Sun Wukong waste the Xian Dan in vain.

After thinking carefully, Jiang Xuan directly approached Sun Wukong. Then the two parties agreed that if Jiang Xuan successfully obtained the opportunity, according to the original conditions, Sun Wukong would help him cultivate to the ninth level. If Jiang Xuan failed, this would be considered Sun Wukong's reward for running this trip for Jiang Xuan.

Of course, Jiang Xuan naturally had no objections to this. After all, he still earned something. It was also because Sun Wukong was free and easy and didn't care about these things. If it were Silver Moon Tianshen, Jiang Xuan would probably owe a lot of debts.

Soon, Sun Wukong gave Jiang Xuan a lot of Pure Yang Xian Dan, which added up to almost 100 Pure Yang top-grade Xian Dan. After all, Pure Yang top-grade Xian Dan are extremely rare. Where can you find so many normally? They are generally replaced by ordinary Pure Yang Xian Dan.

Having obtained the Xian Dan, Jiang Xuan also went into seclusion again. He was already at the peak of Fanxu demon god, so he could naturally cultivate the fourth to sixth levels of the *Ba Jiu Xuan Gong*.

When the pills were almost exhausted, Jiang Xuan finally completed the sixth level of the *Xuan Gong*. At this moment, his physical body is comparable to a Pure Yang-level magic treasure. Even if a top Tianxian makes a full effort, it would be difficult to hurt his physical body.

"In this way, one of the conditions for crossing the Tianshen tribulation can be considered to have been met." Jiang Xuan felt the power of his own body, and also revealed a smile.

Bodhi Daozu once warned him that he must comprehend at least one complete Great Dao, his mental power must reach at least the peak of the Dominator level, and his *Xuan Gong* must also reach at least the sixth level before he can cross the Tianshen tribulation.

Now he has completed one of the conditions.

As for the complete Great Dao and the peak mental power of the Dominator, they are not far away for him. Now his second primordial spirit has ten incarnations traveling in the mortal world of the Three Realms. The insights every moment can make his mental power improve little by little.

As for the complete Great Dao, it is only one step away. In the Chaos Space, Confucian Dao Jiang Xuan and Martial Extremity Jiang Xuan have extremely deep understanding of the laws of heaven and earth. Jiang Xuan only needs to combine the laws of heaven and earth in this world, and he will soon be able to comprehend a complete Great Dao. Now he is only one step away from that step.

With his current rate of improvement, it won't be long before he can cross the Tianshen tribulation. After that, he should think of a way to solve the problem of Elder Yuan.
