Chapter 888: Chapter 433: The Second Spirit Body, Way of Cause and Effect
Two months had passed since the last seclusion.
The city of Wenfeng was unusually peaceful, and during their stationing, no external enemies had attacked, providing much relief to the disciples who followed Lu Yun in guarding the city.
Without the presence of Lu Yun, a master of high regard, even though they could operate the Great Array that protected the city, the power they could wield was severely limited. They simply couldn’t withstand the real powerhouses.
In a Cultivation Room, Lu Yun was meditating with a focused mind, cultivating the “Number” secret technique.
The “Number” secret technique was divided into three scrolls: the Human Scroll, the Earth Scroll, and the Heaven Scroll.
Human Scroll: To create a second Nascent Soul, to dominate the Way of Cause and Effect, and to reach Perfection, sever the past, not be tainted by cause and effect, with Divine Abilities unseen and the whims of fate unpredictable.
...
As for the Earth Scroll, it could only be practiced after creating the second Nascent Soul.
In a way, just the first scroll of the “Number” secret technique was comparable to the so-called Body Refining Method.
To sever the past and not be tainted by cause and effect, with Divine Abilities unseen and the whims of fate unpredictable, even those Heavenly Prides who had cultivated their Body Refining Method to Great Accomplishment could not achieve this.
Lu Yun had to admit that he had previously underestimated the value of the Nine Mysteries.
Time flowed on, and at some indeterminate time, the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi began to surge like a whale devouring everything in its path, transforming, smelting, and gradually outlining a vague silhouette.
Yes, just an outline, with an extremely indistinct appearance. No, it was more correct to say that it had no distinct appearance at all, merely a skeleton that, as it gradually took shape, resembled a skull.
At that moment, a golden light emerged from between Lu Yun’s eyebrows.
In the resplendent orb of light, there was a droplet of golden liquid teeming with Divine Power.
This was the origin blood, far more valuable and precious than ordinary blood. Even for Lu Yun at his current stage, he did not have much origin blood to spare. Using a single drop would require several months to recover, representing an enormous cost.
With a gentle touch, the droplet of origin blood that radiated the Golden Light fell onto the skull before him.
Immediately, flesh began to grow, the skull transformed, taking shape, and madly absorbing the Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi.
One day, two days, nearly half a month passed, and a young man bearing a slight resemblance to Lu Yun appeared.
With silver hair longer than his body trailing behind his strong back, he sat in a strange posture opposite Lu Yun.
Lu Yun could feel that although this Physical Body was far from as formidable as his original self, it was still as resilient as divine iron. If one were to cultivate a certain Body Refining Method, it would certainly become even more terrifying.
However, Lu Yun had other plans in mind and did not intend to let it follow his own path.
Moreover, forging the Spirit Body was just the first step. It wouldn’t be complete until after creating a second Nascent Soul; otherwise, it would be no different from a walking corpse.
“The Dao produces one, one produces two, two produces three, the Three Pure Ones are the Three Mountains, …coexisting with Heaven and Earth, enduring alongside the sun and moon…”
While the mantra was simple to recite, it was immensely profound and obscure. Simultaneously, an inexplicable state of the Dao flowed between the Spirit Body and the original self.
Under the golden Divine Tree, the Nascent Soul with the appearance of a child suddenly opened his eyes wide, revealing profound and crystal-clear irises that rippled with clarity.
A gentle breeze then passed, causing golden leaves to lightly fall, landing upon the emerald-jade-like lake, creating faint ripples that gradually spread out and culminated in a sudden thunder.
Boom!
The once placid lake now exhibited burgeoning waves, flickering with terrifying bolts of thunder and lightning.
Transmutation, birth, the flow of Divine Light—all heralded the gradual emergence of a brand-new Nascent Soul.
The second Nascent Soul was less a new creation from the Nascent Soul in the Cave Heaven World and more a nurturing from it.
The new Nascent Soul looked exactly like the original Nascent Soul, except it had a head of silver-white snow hair.
This was normal, for Lu Yun had intentionally changed the appearance of the Spirit Body to make it easily distinguishable.
As for the Nascent Soul, being nurtured from the original Nascent Soul, it indeed bore both spiritual and physical resemblance to him.
After the second Nascent Soul took residence in the Spirit Body, the Human Scroll was considered attained, but this was merely the beginning. To cultivate the Way of Cause and Effect to Perfection was necessary to avoid the scrutiny of Divine Powers and fate.
Simultaneously, with the emergence of the second Nascent Soul, the Earth Scroll became clear, and Lu Yun could cultivate it at any time to create a third Nascent Soul.
However, Lu Yun decided not to proceed.
During the cultivation of the Human Scroll, spending a drop of origin blood had significantly weakened him. It would take him several months to recover.
In addition, the nurturing of the second Nascent Soul had also depleted his original Nascent Soul, requiring time to recuperate.
Therefore, Lu Yun didn’t intend to cultivate the Earth Scroll in the short term.
Despite this, he had begun to grasp the profound mysteries of the Human Scroll. The Spirit Body possessed the same Realm as the original self and could utilize any of Lu Yun’s Divine Abilities, except for Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength and the Body Refining Method, with no less power than when the abilities were used by the original self.
“Just the Human Scroll alone is already so terrifying.” Lu Yun’s appreciation for the “Number” secret technique heightened once again, placing it on a par with the Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength. He believed it must be a supreme secret technique.
In the days that followed, he practiced diligently, with both the original self and the Spirit Body simultaneously cultivating the Human Scroll and contemplating the Way of Cause and Effect, which seemed increasingly profound.
Another half a month later, a piece of news arrived, compelling Lu Yun to end his cultivation.
“The Way of Cause and Effect, profound beyond profound, I’ve merely reached the Entry Level.” After the intertwining lines of cause and effect returned to himself, he allowed the Spirit Body to continue its cultivation in the Cave Heaven World while he stepped out of the Cultivation Room alone.
Having been in seclusion for three to four months, his Realm had not advanced but, on the contrary, due to the consumption of origin blood and the Nascent Soul, his complexion had become somewhat pale.
