Chapter 1786 The Return of the True Spirit 1: The Chapter of the Blood Sword!
After a few breaths...
The dazzling light gradually faded, and the scene inside the secret room became clear again.
On the cloud bed, the handsome "Cheng Buzheng" was still sitting cross-legged.
Before the cloud bed, a tall and straight figure appeared.
The two were identical in height, appearance, and even the spiritual energy emanating from them, like mirror images.
The only difference is that,
The figure standing before the cloud bed had a slightly stiff expression, lacked liveliness in his eyes, and exuded a deathly aura.
There was no fluctuation of life force field that a living person should have.
Like a finely crafted but soulless puppet.
Not bad.
This is precisely the biggest flaw that Cheng Buzheng has been unable to perfectly resolve despite repeatedly devising and improving the paper doll's transformation.
Lacking true vitality and soulful energy,
They would be easily exposed under the divine sense probing of a high-level cultivator.
Cheng Buzheng's avatar looked at the paper doll clone before him, which was so lifelike yet clearly flawed.
A hint of regret flashed in his eyes.
He sighed softly and said:
"really!"
"All things in the world are subject to the principle of balance."
To obtain both convenient and powerful Stand abilities, it is difficult to achieve perfection.
A method that is cheap, practical, and flawless is ultimately just a fantasy.
After letting out a sigh...
With a flick of his wrist, Cheng Buzheng's Dharma Body revealed a jade pendant in his palm, entirely emerald green, carved with cloud patterns, and radiating a restrained spiritual light.
With a casual flick of his wrist, the jade pendant transformed into a streak of green light, landing precisely in front of the paper doll clone.
The paper doll, whose mind was already in sync with the jade pendant, raised its large hand with slightly sluggish movements and precisely caught the jade pendant, holding it in its palm.
Immediately.
The paper doll immediately sat down cross-legged and began to use a special refining technique to imprint a trace of its own magical power into the jade pendant.
The process is not complicated.
Not long after.
A flash of light appeared on the surface of the jade pendant, indicating that the refining process had been successfully completed.
The paper doll then put the jade pendant on its waist.
Just as the jade pendant was attached to the waist of the paper doll...
A miraculous change has occurred!
The distinct aura of "dead matter" emanating from the paper doll began to rapidly dissipate.
A faint but real energy field, unique to living beings, merged into the paper doll's body, centered on the jade pendant.
Although still incomparable to real living beings
It also appears somewhat flimsy.
But at least it's no longer as obvious as before that it's a puppet.
Standing there, it looked more like a cultivator who was calming his breathing and regulating his energy.
Not bad.
This jade pendant was crafted from the structural diagram of a special auxiliary magic weapon that Cheng Buzheng deduced and designed to compensate for the biggest flaw of the paper doll after it was created.
pity···
The core spiritual materials required to refine this treasure, while not requiring high grade, possess exceptionally rare properties—
Life attribute.
In the vast world of cultivation, regardless of the grade of spiritual materials, more than 99% belong to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
The more unusual ones are the three mutated attributes: wind, ice, and lightning.
Further up, there are spiritual materials and medicines related to the soul or the essence of flesh and blood, which are already quite rare.
Even rarer are spiritual materials that contain special attributes such as space and time.
The kind of life-attribute spiritual material that Cheng Buzheng needs may not be comparable to space or time-related spiritual materials in terms of pure value.
But in terms of its rarity...
They are evenly matched, and are rare finds.
Because it is so rare, even with Cheng Buzheng's profound knowledge accumulated over many years and all his efforts, he could only gather enough to refine one jade pendant.
Moreover, due to the limitations of the core spiritual materials' grade,
This jade pendant, into which he poured his heart and soul, ultimately turned out to be only a mid-grade magic weapon.
This jade pendant does not possess any earth-shattering offensive capabilities.
There is no indestructible, terrifying defense.
Its sole function is to simulate and emit a layer of "life field" to disguise the paper doll's clone, giving it the characteristics of a "living thing".
This is the fundamental reason why the paper doll clones are able to "come alive" right now.
however,
Ultimately, because the jade pendant itself is of low quality, the intensity of the life field it simulates is limited.
At most, it can only deceive the perception and detection of cultivators at the late Nascent Soul stage and below.
Let alone a Nascent Soul cultivator with divine insight as sharp as a torch?
Even those "half-saints" who have fused innate qi and earth's turbid energy and are half-step into the Divine Transformation stage may not be able to completely hide it after careful examination.
"but!"
"According to the norm in the cultivation world of Jin and Chu, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator is already a powerful figure in their own right."
Baiyunmen is located inland and has limited resources.
Under normal circumstances, a decline in power wouldn't attract the attention of even a half-saint or god-transformation level expert.
"From now on, these paper figures will take turns guarding the area."
Combined with the sect's protective array, this should be sufficient to handle most unforeseen events and ensure the safety of the White Cloud Sect's lineage!
In an instant, the thought of weighing the pros and cons flashed through Cheng Buzheng's mind.
Followed by.
Without further hesitation, the Dharma Body, sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, handed over the remaining few yellowish-brown paper figures, along with the golden storage bag containing the paper figures, to the paper figure clone in front of it.
Then, he took out a storage bag that he had prepared beforehand and handed it to the paper doll clone.
It contains several top-grade magic treasures with different attributes but all with considerable power, as well as some high-level talismans.
This is to ensure that the paper doll clones can withstand powerful enemies...
They wouldn't be defeated so quickly due to a lack of powerful means.
It can at least hold out for a period of time, until the main body or Dharma body can arrive in time to provide support.
After all, while the loss of a paper doll clone is not as great as that of a physical body, the materials used to refine it are still quite valuable.
"The standard equipment that a Nascent Soul cultivator should have is indispensable."
Anyway, the company has a fairly substantial financial foundation, so this small investment won't make a difference.
The Dharma body and mind thought this way.
After everything was handed over...
The Dharma body on the cloud bed swayed slightly, and its entire body instantly transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into the radiant light gate that was suspended in mid-air and still slowly rotating.
After the figure of this deity completely disappeared behind the gate of light...
The light gate, covered with intricate and mysterious patterns, seemed to have completed its final mission, its radiance rapidly receding inward.
Then, like a bubble, it vanished silently in the secret room, leaving no trace.
in the secret room,
All that remained was the paper doll clone with a jade pendant around its waist, a faint life force emanating from its body, and an expressionless face, along with the resources it had just received.
It sat quietly, like the most loyal guardian, beginning its long mission to protect Baiyun Gate.
······
Mystery!
Deep within the city of Ping'an lies a secluded courtyard protected by numerous array formations.
Inside a quiet room filled with spiritual energy all day long, the sandalwood incense had long since burned out, leaving only a faint fragrance lingering in the air.
Suspended in mid-air, the radiant and mysteriously textured "Heavenly Gate of the Mind" emanates a stable spatial fluctuation.
Suddenly,
The center of the light gate rippled like water...
A tall, imposing figure strode out, his robes fluttering in the breeze.
This is the very Dharma body that returned from Baiyun Gate.
The Dharma body landed on the ground and exchanged a glance with the original deity on the cloud bed. Without needing to say a word, their hearts were already in sync.
Then, a hazy and mysterious radiance appeared around the Dharma body.
Then,
A more refined and dazzling stream of light, containing a portion of Cheng Buzheng's true spirit, shot out from the core of that radiant light.
Like a weary bird returning to its nest, it instantly disappeared into the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows of the deity sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed.
A few moments.
The radiance surrounding the Dharma body completely dissipated, its form gradually faded, and finally transformed into specks of spiritual light, merging into the rich spiritual energy of the meditation room.
And the suspended "Heavenly Gate of the Mind" had completed its mission, its radiance receding as it quietly disappeared into the void without a trace.
And in that very instant...
On the cloud bed, Cheng Buzheng's true body trembled almost imperceptibly, and his tightly closed eyes suddenly opened!
"Om-!"
A silent Daoist chant seemed to echo within the quiet room.
His eyes no longer held a simple glint of light, but instead burst forth with a dazzling divine radiance that seemed to pierce through the void.
A profound and perfect Daoist aura, emanating from its center, spread outwards.
A feeling of utter fulfillment and clarity welled up in Cheng Buzheng's heart like a warm tide.
The slight, almost imperceptible stagnation and barrier caused by the separation of the true spirits in the past have completely vanished.
A feeling of comfort that defies description permeates every part of my body and permeates the depths of my soul.
It was as if they had broken free from some invisible shackles.
The entire "existence" becomes light and complete.
Not only that…
At this moment, Cheng Buzheng also clearly realized that his thinking speed, comprehension and intuition had undergone earth-shattering changes.
In the blink of an eye, my thoughts flowed like lightning, becoming a hundred times clearer and more agile than ever before!
The obscure and difficult obstacles I encountered in the past when trying to comprehend cultivation techniques and deduce supernatural powers...
Looking at it now, I feel a sense of sudden enlightenment, as if the clouds have parted and the sun is shining through, revealing that all roads lead to the sky.
The speed of thought is comparable to lightning; countless thoughts arise and disappear, yet they run parallel without contradiction, in perfect order.
All these amazing changes,
It is precisely the effect of a surge in comprehension brought about by the complete unification of the true spirit and the perfection of the divine soul!
"After many twists and turns, today we have finally achieved our goal!"
Now that my true spirit is flawless and my mind is clear, it is time to formally decipher that supreme Dao text and inquire about the path to immortality!
A genuine smile couldn't be suppressed on Cheng Buzheng's lips; he murmured to himself,
It is also full of expectations for the future.
suddenly.
He seemed to have realized something crucial...
He paused slightly as he was about to immerse himself in the Daoist text.
"etc……
Even if my comprehension skyrockets and I successfully decipher that inscription, what I obtain will mostly be the incomplete method for forging the 'Law Treasure Body'.
Unless there are a large number of Law-based spiritual objects.
"But what I possess..." Cheng Buzheng examined his own storage magic treasure, pondering in his mind:
"Apart from the portion given to the daughter-in-law for shaping her spiritual root..."
Besides the few magical artifacts of the laws reserved for the Cheng family's descendants as a glimmer of hope...
Now, only a handful of pieces are still usable.
This quantity is probably far from enough to even deduce and perfect that incomplete casting method.
"perhaps……
Or should we try to break through using the old, clumsy methods first?
Back then, when the 'Law of Chaos' was stuck at a bottleneck, it was through the ultimate evolution of the offensive divine power [Chaos Strike] that the Law resonated, allowing it to step into the realm of Law Runes in one fell swoop.
If this time, the application of the 'Law of Blood' can also be evolved to its current limit,
To exhaust the mysteries of the seventy-two runes,
Is there even a glimmer of hope to break through the bottleneck and step into the legendary third realm?
of course.
Cheng Buzheng knew perfectly well that this hope was extremely slim.
The higher one progresses in the realm of laws, the more difficult it becomes to break through.
Not to mention the legendary third realm?
But he knew even more clearly that his true spirit was incomplete and his comprehension was limited, so even this faint hope did not exist.
Now that his true spirit has returned to oneness and his comprehension has surged, although the road ahead is still difficult, he has finally seen a glimmer of light.
"How can I be satisfied if I don't even try?"
Thinking of this,
Cheng Buzheng, who was never willing to follow the established path, no longer hesitated.
With a flick of his wrist, spiritual light flashed throughout the quiet room, and various spiritual herbs and fruits, each exuding an aura that nourished the soul, appeared on the cloud bed beside him, piled up like a small mountain.
Not bad.
These were the very soul-related spiritual medicines and treasures that Cheng Buzheng had acquired years ago by manipulating large-scale markets across the cultivation world, spending enormous sums of money to purchase.
It is an excellent tonic for quickly restoring mental and physical well-being.
He knew full well that the subsequent deductions and evolutions would consume a tremendous amount of his mental energy.
Immediately.
Sitting cross-legged on the cloud bed, Cheng Buzheng held his breath and focused his mind, his thoughts racing once more.
Supernatural Power: Heavenly Eye of the Luo Heaven - Open!
Supernatural Power: Great Luo Dharma Eye – Activated!
In an instant,
His once clear and deep eyes underwent a strange change.
Deep within his pupils, it seemed as if a golden deity, seated in the heavens, was emerging.
this moment.
His perspective on the myriad phenomena of the world reached an unbelievable level.
At the same time, a soft light curtain condensed and appeared in the void about a foot in front of him.
Within the light screen, an incredibly intense dynamic scene was being displayed:
It was a vast, desolate wasteland stretching as far as the eye could see.
A cultivator in a blue robe, whose face was identical to Cheng Buzheng's, was fiercely fighting a dragon as large as a mountain, whose scales shimmered with dazzling golden light.
Sword energy crisscrossed, demonic energy soared to the sky, and the two sides fought fiercely, their battle creating a magnificent spectacle.
The strange thing is...
The blue-robed cultivator in the wasteland, in appearance and even the aura he exuded when performing his techniques, was exactly the same as Cheng Buzheng on the cloud bed.
Not bad!
This cultivator in green robes was a wisp of Cheng Buzheng's war-oriented spirit that had been separated from him.
The endless wasteland within the light curtain, and the ferocious golden dragon, were both manifestations of a profound application of the divine power [Illusionary World Technique].
Simulate a virtual battlefield that best suits the application of the laws.
Cheng Buzheng set the strength of that golden dragon to be similar to that of the "Nether Sea Demon Lord" he had once fought at his peak.
I don't know how much time passed in this quiet room...
The battle inside the light screen had reached a fever pitch.
Suddenly, a torrent of blood-red light erupted from the green-robed cultivator, and a gigantic phantom of a blood sword, seemingly capable of sucking the life essence of living beings, condensed above his head.
On the sword, three blood-red runes lit up one after another, connecting to form a mysterious array.
A shout, like a thunderclap, echoed across the endless wasteland:
"Blood Sword - Slash!"
The voice has not fallen,
The enormous blood sword slashed down fiercely!
There was no ear-piercing sonic boom...
Only a wave of blood-red light, capable of annihilating everything, swept out silently in a fan shape.
