Longevity Strange Immortal-Chapter 613 - 38: Awakened Li Mo (Part 2)

He’s trying his best to maintain it, lasting as many years as possible.

Whoosh.

Suddenly, a golden star flashed across the sky.

The Divine Calculator was momentarily dazed, causing a slight flaw in the divination. For a moment, he failed to detect the movement of the Mother Furnace, silently thinking that things had gone wrong.

The Mother Furnace sensed the external slackness and immediately attempted to break through the Mountain Protection Array.

Rumble, rumble, rumble.

The Corpse Mountain Mini World shook with tremors.

Due to Xia Dao Palace being far from the Mother Furnace, it was too late to contact others, and the Divine Calculator could only grit his teeth and control the Mountain Protection Array.

There were only five Demon Suppression Taoists assisting the Divine Calculator. At the moment of the Mother Furnace’s riot, three of them fell to the ground, overwhelmed.

"If the Mother Furnace escapes, sealing it again would be as hard as ascending to heaven. If we’re unlucky, we’d have to strike and kill it, causing Corpse Mountain Mini World to have a hundred years of a true void period, with resource output coming to a halt..."

The Divine Calculator was drenched in cold sweat, unable to find a solution no matter how he divined.

Bang.

Cracks opened on the ground.

An endless mass of blood and flesh squeezed out from the fissures, with radiant phosphorescence scattering all around.

"Retreat!"

The Divine Calculator signaled the Demon Suppression Taoists to withdraw from the scope of the phosphorescence. However, one person was exposed to the phosphorescence, whose flesh and bones dissolved into a slurry, and was ultimately completely devoured by the Mother Furnace.

The Mother Furnace’s upper half emerged to the surface, and phosphorescence covered half the sky.

The Divine Calculator looked grim, standing on the cliff gazing at the Mother Furnace. The upcoming surgery for the Undying Golden Body would be deeply affected and possibly a complete waste of effort.

At that moment.

He noticed a figure standing within a hundred meters of the Mother Furnace.

"Huh?"

The figure was a nondescript monk, not an ascetic monk, with nothing extraordinary about his appearance, like an ordinary mortal who had taken vows, named Li Mo.

"Amitabha Buddha."

The monk clasped his hands together, the rising Buddha Light forming a ten-thousand-zhang golden body.

"Suppress."

Buddha Light descended from the sky.

"Who is he..."

The Divine Calculator shielded his eyes as the dazzling Buddha Light was impossible to gaze upon directly, while the phosphorescence tainting flesh and bones dissipated entirely.

The Mother Furnace emitted screeching sounds as the Buddha Light drilled into the crater, omnipresent.

The Buddha Light caused no tangible harm but was inherently suppressive to the lowly intelligent Mother Furnace. Before long, the Mother Furnace’s movement stopped altogether.

"Amitabha Buddha, lay down the butcher’s knife and instantly become a Buddha."

The monk nodded slightly.

Even though the Mountain Protection Array had been damaged, the Mother Furnace showed no intention of breaking free. On the contrary, it voluntarily accelerated the resource output of the Corpse Mountain Mini World.

"Conversion?"

The Divine Calculator took a deep breath, watching the monk slowly approach him.

"What do you go by?"

"No-Life Mother, or Li Mo."

The No-Life Mother smiled and said, "The Mother Furnace has already submitted to my Buddha. It will no longer erupt suddenly, but it remains difficult to communicate with."

The Mother Furnace’s spiritual wisdom was low, and the Buddhist Sect’s conversion effect was very evident. Unfortunately, the previous Buddhist Practitioner Li Mo struggled to approach within a hundred meters of the Mother Furnace.

The No-Life Mother voluntarily headed toward Xia Dao Palace, explaining at the same time, "I am somewhat different from you all. The Li Mo of our timeline went mad after witnessing the Master of Time." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"After using the Substitute Dao Page, he didn’t choose to replace the No-Life Mother. Instead, he allowed the No-Life Mother to replace him, becoming my existence."

The Divine Calculator was astonished, then tentatively asked, "No-Life Mother, would you be willing to contribute to the main body?"

"Very much so."

The No-Life Mother swiftly appeared above the Externalized Dharma Body.

"Infinite Light."

He pointed, and endless Buddha Light illuminated Xia Dao Palace.

All Li Mo looked toward the No-Life Mother in unison, and immediately, their exhaustion disappeared, with their spirit becoming perfect.

The No-Life Mother only received part of Li Mo’s memories, resulting in his cultivation techniques being relatively mundane.

Yet, as the reincarnation of Randeng Buddha, his cultivation was the highest in Xia Dao Palace, already reaching the level of a Daluo True Immortal, though effective only within the range of the Spirit Root Worm’s domain.

With the No-Life Mother’s supplementation of spirit, the efficiency of the surgery for the Undying Golden Body grew increasingly intense.

In just five years, they successfully integrated the heart of the meat body into the Dharma Body, granting the Symbiotic Dharma Body some of the attributes only the meat body should possess.

The remaining internal organs were respectively integrated into the Artifact Pill Body and the Buddha Demon Body.

The entire surgery meticulously dissected the meat body, choosing the appropriate Dharma Body as a vessel based on the compatibility of each organ.

Busy for two hundred years continuously.

The parts of the meat body were integrated into the Three Dharma Bodies, though they remained independent entities.

Each of the Three Dharma Bodies subtly changed. The Buddha Demon Body sprouted Eight Extraordinary Meridians, where the Immortal Spiritual Power could be seen flowing ceaselessly in the veins.

The Symbiotic Dharma Body possessed Five Internal Organs and Six Viscera, autonomously breathing like a living person.

The Artifact Pill Body was filled with bones, over five hundred sections of the Ten Thousand Sword Immortal Bone, indicating the Three Immortal Body’s continuous progress.

After the revival of the Ten Thousand Sword Immortal Bone and the addition of billions of Spider Sword Orbs, manpower was no longer in short supply.

But the immediate priority was to take advantage of the century-long surplus time to quickly merge the Three Dharma Bodies into one, achieving the Undying and Undying Supreme Golden Body.

Xia Dao Palace was noisily bustling.

Thousands of Li Mos surrounded the Three Dharma Bodies, discussing fervently.

They analyzed from their individual perspectives how to perform the surgery because the cultivation system among them was too diverse. It was one thing for the meat body to possess an Immortal Body, but even the Dharma Body had a Taoist Body.

The goal was to transform the Immortal Body, the Taoist Body, and countless Immortal Bones into an Undying Golden Body.

Despite the excellent medical skills of the many Li Mos, they couldn’t help but feel a shiver up their spines. Using mortal flesh to piece together a True Immortal might not be much different.

After three years of discussion, they preliminarily established the surgical guidelines.

The primary focus was on reconstructing the brain.

With the main body’s consciousness awakened and cooperating with the surgery, there was a possibility of achieving the Undying Golden Body. Otherwise, even if the number of Li Mos in Xia Dao Palace increased tenfold, completing even a fraction would be difficult.

The brain surgery started promptly, with countless nerves extending from within the Three Dharma Bodies.

The Immortal Doctor led a hundred or so people in concentrating the brain tissue, a fist-sized portion requiring six months of sleepless effort.

The complete brain was estimated to exceed two thousand meters.

Time was certainly insufficient, but the Immortal Doctor noticed that the Great Wilderness Immortal Body would help adjust the brain’s structure, making it entirely possible to accelerate this point.

They implanted dozens of auxiliary brains specifically for testing the Great Wilderness Immortal Body’s response.

As a result, in less than forty years, the brain had already taken shape, though the main body’s consciousness showed no sign of awakening, as if they were making futile efforts.

Now they were approaching the brink of the destruction of the Immortal and Mortal Realms, with catastrophe looming at any moment.

Seeing no response, the Divine Calculator decisively called a halt to the Undying Golden Body’s surgery, instructing the Immortal Doctor and others to prepare to remove the traces of the fusion of the meat body and Dharma Body.

They feared ending up with nothing, that the Undying Golden Body remained unachieved was one thing, but they couldn’t risk affecting Li Mo’s physical and soul state upon awakening.

The Immortal Doctor was reluctant but understood the need to look at the bigger picture.

They continued to wait for ten more years, abandoning any hopeful thinking, gradually severing the nerves connecting to the brain, as the brain’s vitality began to fade.

At that moment.

Electric currents erupted on the brain’s surface, with the pain from severed nerves unexpectedly causing the brain to show, for the first time, signs of consciousness awakening.

"Quick, quick, quick!! Bring the spiritual material that intensifies pain, brew Corpse Wine!!!"

The Divine Calculator made no hesitation, mobilizing all the Li Mos to brew around the clock, and soon, tons of Corpse Wine were poured over the brain.

The pain multiplied a thousandfold, and the brain began to quiver slightly.

The Spider Sword Orb paused in place.

Li Mo awoke after hundreds of years, consciousness reviving within the broken brain.

He thought the Sixth Ring had already begun, yet the external Buddha and Demon War hadn’t ended, with Maitreya Buddha and the Demon Ancestor having clashed multiple times during it.

Yet neither could do anything to the other.

"A Xiu’s advanced plans have shown no progress, I wonder what’s going on."

Li Mo surveyed the Corpse Mountain Mini World and, after figuring out the concept of the Undying Golden Body, realized how dangerous it was to put a group of himself in one place.

"You all probably want me dead; how can the Undying Golden Body be completed in four hundred years?"

Now that the meat body had initially merged with the Dharma Body, abandoning the Undying Golden Body meant that all efforts were for naught.

The most important thing was, Li Mo’s mental realm was exactly like everyone else in Xia Dao Palace.

Unwilling.

"Let’s try it; at least we might have an extra twenty percent chance. If we fail, Maitreya Buddha and the Demon Ancestor will serve as fallback, as they are already fish on the chopping board."
