Chapter 95: Let Junior Sister Yu Suffer a Bit More
Thinking of it, he did it. Lu Yang immediately transformed into a stream of light and flew into the dome of the sky.
The Myriad Spirits Banner rose high, its banner fluttering, blotting out the sun. A huge shadow quickly spread from Lu Yang as the center to the eight hundred miles of Skull Mountain.
Especially the Shaman-Ghost Secret Realm.
One by one, Shaman-Ghosts were converted into Banner Spirits by Lu Yang, including the eight Red-Clothed Ghosts that formed the [Hall of Yama], as well as the Protector God Su Nü.
“Even the color has changed.”
As thousands of Shaman-Ghosts swarmed into the Myriad Spirits Banner, the originally pure white banner gradually turned blackish-purple, just like Protector God Su Nü.
This way, as long as he restarted with the Myriad Spirits Banner, the [Hall of Yama] could also be perfectly inherited. This would ensure that in his next life, he would have a Foundation Establishment Protector God to obscure heavenly secrets right from the start. The effect presumably wouldn’t be worse than the Primordial Chaos One-Qi Divine Talisman, so he wouldn’t alert the Peak Master of Heaven-Mending Peak again.
“Oh right, almost forgot about you.”
Thinking of this, Lu Yang suddenly shook the Myriad Spirits Banner. Then he took out an old Daoist with a numb expression, lifeless eyes, crane-white hair, and a youthful face.
The Peak Master of Heaven-Mending Peak!
To be precise, it was a Divided Spirit of the Peak Master of Heaven-Mending Peak. It was personally severed from his soul to escape the suction force of the [Hall of Yama].
Immediately after, Lu Yang summoned Chen Xin’an.
This one was actually also a Divided Spirit of the real Chen Xin’an, not the main body. After coming out, he stared wide-eyed at the Peak Master of Heaven-Mending Peak’s Divided Spirit, his face full of disbelief.
“How is this possible…”
“Nothing is impossible.” Lu Yang smiled faintly: “You father and son have deep affection. Being kind-hearted, I specially invited him into the Myriad Spirits Banner to reunite with you.”
Speaking of this, Lu Yang suddenly thought of a very interesting question. Now that Chen Xin’an and the Peak Master of Heaven-Mending Peak’s Divided Spirit had both become his Banner Spirits, if he chose the Myriad Spirits Banner after restarting, would they still be there? If so, would it affect the real Peak Master of Heaven-Mending Peak and Chen Xin’an?
“Interesting.”
Lu Yang’s thoughts raced, instantly generating many good ways to use this. In the next life, perhaps he could make the Peak Master of Heaven-Mending Peak carry a huge black pot (take the blame)…
Of course, that was a matter for the next life.
Retracting his thoughts, Lu Yang looked at the Divided Spirits of Chen Xin’an and the Peak Master of Heaven-Mending Peak: “I plan to cultivate the Severing Thoughts to See Self Silkworm Secret. You two will protect the Dharma for me.”
Severing Thoughts to See Self Silkworm Secret—a Great Divine Ability to transform Qi Refining Spiritual Sense into Foundation Establishment Divine Sense. To master it, one needs to sever nine Divided Spirits from one’s own soul.
According to the description of the divine ability, they represent nine extreme emotions troubling Lu Yang’s “True Self.”
They are: Joy upon Seeing, Anger upon Hearing, Love upon Smelling, Thought upon Tasting, Desire upon Opining, Worry upon Being, Greed upon Appearance, Anger upon Resenting and Delusion upon Ignorance.
Collectively called the “Three Poisons and Six Desires.” Only by severing them all can one see the True Self.
“The first one, Joy upon Seeing.”
Lu Yang silently circulated the technique. Spiritual Sense transformed into a blade. Then, borrowing the deductive power of Protector God Su Nü, he precisely slashed the first cut at his own soul.
The next second, Lu Yang felt his soul lighten. A streak of spiritual light was slashed off by him. Taking root upon landing, it actually transformed into a soul shadow identical to his appearance.
“Hahahahahaha.”
As soon as this soul shadow appeared, it immediately covered its eyes with one hand, placed the other on its waist, looked up at the sky, and emitted an indescribable burst of wild laughter.
Almost simultaneously, a massive emotion merged into Lu Yang’s mind.
The joy of cultivation, the joy of breakthrough, the joy of dual cultivation, the joy of successful plotting… Countless joys from past and present lives all surfaced!
Although Lu Yang was prepared, his eyes still turned red from the impact of this intense emotion.
Just then, Chen Xin’an and the Peak Master of Heaven-Mending Peak, who were ordered to protect the Dharma, suddenly moved. The two exhaled and spoke, suddenly emitting a thunderous heavenly sound: “Duō!”
The sound wave was like a clear spring pouring down, instantly smoothing out the countless wild joys inexplicably arising in Lu Yang’s heart, restoring his expression to calm.
“Soul Great Divine Abilities… truly treacherous.”
Lu Yang frowned slightly. He could feel this was only treating the symptoms, not the root cause. The influence of the Divided Spirit was temporarily suppressed, but it would only erupt more violently later.
This was the difficulty of cultivating the Severing Thoughts to See Self Silkworm Secret. The severed Divided Spirits would constantly surge with various extreme emotions to influence the cultivator. Only by relying on oneself to suppress all these emotions and reaching the state of “Heart like Ice” could the divine ability be considered mastered.
“These emotions, too troublesome.”
Lu Yang frowned tightly. There was a karmic connection between the Divided Spirit and him. Therefore, even if suppressed, these emotions would still surge continuously…
Hmm? Karmic connection?
Lu Yang fell silent for a moment, then turned to look at Su Nü guarding beside him. If he remembered correctly, the Protector God seemed able to transfer karma?
Lu Yang tried it, and the karma changed abruptly.
The next second, Su Nü suddenly twitched the corners of her mouth without warning, revealing a big smile, but quickly restrained it, showing a look of panic:
“Master?”
“Hold it in! Don’t let it out!”
Lu Yang said sternly, unhesitatingly grafting the karmic connection of ‘Joy upon Seeing’ onto Su Nü, letting her bear the emotional impact for him.
“Continue!”
Time waits for no one. Lu Yang quickly slashed eight more times in succession, severing all remaining eight Divided Spirits. Immediately after, he grafted them all onto Su Nü.
For a time, Su Nü collapsed directly onto the ground, sweating profusely. Her head full of black hair was wet with sweat, sticking to that exquisite pretty face. The noble solemnity of being a Protector God was gone, and her formerly seductive and soul-snatching beautiful eyes now held only bewilderment and dullness.
She was just short of drooling.
Seeing Su Nü revealing a look of pain and struggle due to suffering the chaotic emotional impact of the Divided Spirits, Lu Yang suddenly felt much better.
This is what a Protector God is for! Otherwise, what use do I have for her?
“Also, the [Corpse Liberation Immortal] needs Su Nü to bless it with Foundation Establishment stature to speed up the cultivation… Fine, let Junior Sister Yu suffer a bit more.”
With Su Nü’s help, Lu Yang believed that the Grand Yin Corpse Liberation Transformation True Method and the Severing Thoughts to See Self Silkworm Secret, which originally would each take at least decades to master, could now be perfected one by one in at most three months. His probability of breaking through to Foundation Establishment could also reach seventy percent in one breath!
“And with the agreement for the [Heavenly Corpse Baleful Qi], I can also ask for that Ascension Token from Perfected One Yin Shan.”
“At that time, it will be an eighty percent chance of winning.”
Not low!
Thinking of this, Lu Yang was a little excited. After all, since he didn’t intend to pursue any ‘Perfect Foundation Establishment,’ an eighty percent chance was completely enough to go all-in.
Saint Sect, Heaven-Connecting Cloud Sea.
The Peak Master of Heaven-Mending Peak returned silently to Heaven-Mending Peak. First, he activated the Mountain Protection Grand Formation, then took mud to mold a shell.
However, before he could stand firm, a voice like silver bells came over:
“Father, weren’t you going to catch someone? Why did you come back empty-handed?”
“…”
The Peak Master of Heaven-Mending Peak froze upon hearing this. Then, with a helpless look, he turned to look at his daughter Chen Shuqian: “Father slipped up momentarily; didn’t catch the person.”
Chen Shuqian was stunned, then raised her brows slightly: “Father, you lost?”
“I didn’t lose.”
The Peak Master of Heaven-Mending Peak was silent for a moment, then said seriously: “It was that junior who came to deceive, to sneak attack. He ruined my physical body, leaving me with less than ten percent of my usual power.”
“Father, you really lost, huh?”
“I didn’t lose!”
The Peak Master of Heaven-Mending Peak gritted his teeth: “Just letting that junior be smug for a few days. Do you think he will end up well? He will know the severity when he charges at Foundation Establishment.”
“That junior calculated everything, but the only thing he calculated wrong was coveting the so-called Grade 3 True Qi.”
The Peak Master of Heaven-Mending Peak sneered: “Qian’er, you are still young and don’t understand the sinister nature of human hearts… Any opportunity in this world requires paying a price to obtain.”
“If the inheritance left by Coiled Dragon back then was really that good, do you think I would have left it for others instead of keeping it for you and Xin’an? Moreover, Coiled Dragon was just a rogue Foundation Establishment cultivator in his lifetime. Do you really think his technique can rank Grade 3 and point directly to the Golden Core Great Dao?”
