Chapter 375: Do You Know That Immortal Spirit?

Jiangbei, inside a secret room in a remote mountain forest.

With Lu Yang’s summons, Patriarch Nether Whisper, who was originally still in seclusion, was instantly startled awake. His figure actually crossed thousands of mountains and rivers abruptly, floating to the location.

Although revived, he was still a Banner Spirit.

As long as he was a Banner Spirit, Lu Yang, as the banner owner, could summon him. After a brief exchange of divine thoughts, Patriarch Nether Whisper immediately understood the desperate situation at hand.

“Consciousness stripping…”

As his voice fell, Patriarch Nether Whisper sighed deeply, frowning as he said words that made Lu Yang overjoyed: “I should be able to try.”

Undeniably, consciousness stripping had some difficulty. But Patriarch Nether Whisper was no longer the previous Patriarch Nether Whisper. First, he took the [Dao Union Immortal Pill] from the [Mystic Spirit World Realm] to nourish his understanding, then merged with the original body of this lifetime. At this moment, his comperhension was even better than before!

“If we really have to do it, it can be done.”

“However…” Before Lu Yang could speak, Patriarch Nether Whisper hesitated, “The success rate of this kind of thing is limited. I can’t guarantee it will definitely succeed.”

Hearing this, Lu Yang wasn’t flustered at all. Not one hundred percent success?

With a thought, the sword seed incarnation immediately began casting spells to extract luck. Long Yue was slain by him, so the Qi destiny and merit of the entire Myriad Poison Cult mountain were now ownerless.

After collecting this luck, Lu Yang didn’t hesitate at all and used it all up:

[Divining Luck Drawing Lots]!

[Event: Let Patriarch Nether Whisper strip his own consciousness.]

[Great Ominous: You failed. Consciousness couldn’t detach from the soul, you was refined by Heaven and Earth, falling into ignorance.]

[Small Ominous: You didn’t transfer in time. Guang Ming killed his way in and converted you.]

[End Auspice: You completed the consciousness transfer just in time. However, can you really sit back and relax from now on? Fortune and misfortune are interdependent; everything is still unknown…]

Lu Yang grabbed the [End Auspice] without hesitation.

“Patriarch, do it.”

In the next second, he looked at Patriarch Nether Whisper and smiled relaxedly: “Don’t worry, the successful future is already in my hands!”

“…Good.”

Patriarch Nether Whisper was also a decisive person. Since Lu Yang said so, he didn’t drag his feet. Divine light appeared in his eyes, and dao technique brilliance suddenly lit up on his fingertips. Pointing at Lu Yang’s soul, instantly, Lu Yang felt his consciousness begin to float upwards faintly.

This feeling was extremely wondrous.

The first-person perspective turned into a third-person perspective. Just like that, it detached from the physical body, detached from the soul, he could even see himself lying in the pool.

Under Patriarch Nether Whisper’s manipulation and the enhancement of lot luck brought by [Divining Luck Drawing Lots], Lu Yang’s consciousness soon entered the incarnation. Although the incarnation’s divided soul tried to resist, under the strong control of [Marionette], Lu Yang still quickly mastered the incarnation and resolved the hidden danger of the divided soul.

Then a scene that made Lu Yang feel slightly horrified appeared.

His ‘soul’ opened its eyes.

“…”

Those were a pair of very strange eyes, indifferent and calm, yet carrying a bit of clarity like a newborn baby, staring straight at Lu Yang.

Lu Yang exchanged glances with it.

Instantly, a strong emotion was transmitted along the opponent’s gaze, filling Lu Yang’s heart— Want! Want! I really want!

Lu Yang was momentarily stunned: Want who?

I want you!

Strong emotions attacked Lu Yang’s consciousness again. However, this time the impact on Lu Yang was already negligible, like a gentle breeze.

Sure enough, it works… It can no longer influence me!

While breathing a sigh of relief, a realization also arose in Lu Yang’s heart— The foundation of all things and myriad phenomena lies in Heaven and Earth, and souls and physical bodies are also among them.

Especially the soul of an Immortal Spirit!

…Rather, only the Immortal Spirit’s soul can be significantly influenced by Heaven and Earth, whereas for the souls of ordinary Perfected Ones, Heaven and Earth doesn’t have much authority.

Where is this authority?

According to Lu Yang’s guess, eighty percent likely it’s in the [Netherworld]!

Because the Immortal Spirit’s soul is bestowed by Heaven, while the souls of other myriad spirits need to pass through the [Netherworld]. This is probably the key!

The same goes for the incarnation.

Souls that have been to the [Netherworld] won’t be controlled by Heaven and Earth!

Thinking of this, Lu Yang also relaxed, taking the initiative to step back and distance himself safely from the former “self,” now the “Immortal Spirit.”

The Immortal Spirit was powerless to stop this.

However, in all fairness, its basic goal was also achieved, reclaiming the important ‘tool.’ As for a few flaws, there would always be chances to act again.

Rumble!

At the same time, the battle outside the Myriad Poison Cult mountain gate also came to an end. The figure formed by four Innate Divine Abilities shattered quietly like a dream bubble.

However, Guang Ming frowned.

“The master-disciple destiny… actually broke?”

On the golden hoop in Guang Ming’s hand, the originally dazzling Buddha light suddenly dimmed. This change made him subconsciously look up behind him.

And behind him, the [Supreme Truth Enlightenment Tuoluo Heaven Manifestation], riding a six-tusked white elephant with a white lotus in its mouth and sitting in the demon-subduing seal, remained quiet and silent. Only a pure face and a compassionate smile remained, as if it had been a dead object from beginning to end.

“Amitabha.”

With a wave of his sleeve, Guang Ming directly broke open the Myriad Poison Cult’s Mountain Protection Array. At a glance, he saw that Immortal Spirit currently residing in the [Moon Worship Sacred Pool].

“…its a pity.”

Seeing this scene, Guang Ming instantly had a flash of insight.

So that’s how it is. Actually snatched a step ahead by [Heavenly Lord]. If Benefactor had worn the [Heart-Binding Hoop] beforehand, perhaps you wouldn’t have met this unexpected disaster.

“Absurd…”

The Immortal Spirit sneered. The previously somewhat clear eyes became completely indifferent. The speech, which was slightly stuttered when first talking to Lu Yang, also became fluent:

“…I am born of Heaven and Earth; how can I be controlled by others?”

“You rats, selfish and self-serving, bring no benefit to Heaven and Earth. Now that Heaven’s will favors me, it wants me to uphold the Heavenly Dao!”

“From today on, my name is [Shang Zhang]!”

Shang Zhang, an alias for [Geng Metal].

Hearing these words, Guang Ming couldn’t help shaking his head: “Stubborn and unenlightened, another Mu Changsheng.”

Before his voice fell, he put away the [Heart-Binding Hoop]. The [Supreme Truth Enlightenment Tuoluo Heaven Manifestation] behind him moved in response, slowly raising a Buddha palm.

Boom!

In the next second, the Buddha palm fell!

Five-colored brilliance blossomed between the five fingers, like a primordial divine mountain crashing down. The huge Myriad Poison Cult mountain gate seemed to turn into fine dust under his palm!

Magnificent light flashed and disappeared.

In the next second, the Myriad Poison Cult mountain gate and even the [Moon Worship Sacred Pool] were smashed to pieces by a palm from the [Supreme Truth Enlightenment Tuoluo Heaven Manifestation] behind Guang Ming.

But before that, Shang Zhang’s figure had already disappeared.

On the other side, Lu Yang escaped in a sorry state riding sword light.

From beginning to end, his performance was no different from a cultivator accidentally caught up in this. Seeing the performance of the Immortal Spirit ‘Shang Zhang’, he also breathed a sigh of relief:

Sure enough, Heaven and Earth didn’t expose me…

Guang Ming was now the Buddha Child, with the World Honored One upon him. If Heaven and Earth revealed even a hint of clues related to Lu Yang, it would inevitably attract the World Honored One’s attention.

Then Lu Yang could only self-destruct immediately.

However, Heaven and Earth, or rather that Shang Zhang, obviously covets my secrets too… so it didn’t expose me, eighty percent likely wanting to plot slowly.

The bad news was, he was targeted by an Immortal Spirit who was extremely likely to reach Foundation Establishment Perfection in the future.

The good news was, this time he survived.

Moreover, the karma was intercepted by Heaven and Earth. Lu Yang didn’t have to worry about being discovered by the Dao Lords. Correspondingly, Heaven and Earth would probably watch him constantly from now on.

Forget it, better than the Dao Lords…

At least for now, Heaven and Earth should be suppressed by the four Dao Lords, so it was hard to use any methods. However, the Dao Lords were different.

Even the World Honored One could come down to smurf!

“This Benefactor…”

A gentle voice interrupted Lu Yang’s thoughts. Looking up, he saw Guang Ming, who had just destroyed the entire Myriad Poison Cult Sacred Mountain, looking at him with a smile:

“Do you know that Immortal Spirit benefactor?”
