The Disintegration and Burning Divine Technique is hailed as a forbidden art. Once it is executed, it cannot be reversed. Both the physical body and the primordial spirit will rapidly burn to ashes, turning into nothingness.
However, this description is not entirely accurate. The irreversibility is indeed true.
Even Lin Yuan would find it difficult to forcibly halt it. Reshaping the primordial spirit with the qi of heaven and earth is merely a temporary solution, akin to a poisoned remedy, allowing the practitioner to continue enduring endless suffering.
So, just now, Lin Yuan allowed Steward Hu to burn into nothingness.
But the last sentence—everything of the physical body and primordial spirit will burn to ashes—is inaccurate.
At least for Lin Yuan, after Steward Hu burned into nothingness, he had already intercepted a strand of pure spiritual power in advance.
Inside the underground palace, beside the Spring of Qi, Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
In front of him floated a strand of pure spiritual power.
Apart from the spiritual power, the forces of Yin and Yang melded into the Tai Chi, isolating the strand of pure spiritual power from the outside world.
Without this method of isolation from the world, the strand of pure spiritual power would have dissipated in an instant.When contemporary cultivators believe that the Disintegration and Burning Divine Technique burns everything of the physical body and primordial spirit, they are not entirely wrong.
Because besides Lin Yuan, no one else can intercept this strand of pure spiritual power.
Even those who are also at the peak of the Twelfth Realm or unprecedented experts of the Thirteenth Realm would find it nearly impossible.
It's not a matter of strength but a combination of cultivation system and personal methods.
Lin Yuan's path of martial arts evolution integrates myriad paths and is considered perfect in every aspect.
As for other cultivators? They simply cannot experience the encounters and experiences of Lin Yuan, nor do they have the Unrivaled Insight to comprehend, which is why they remain stuck at the Ninth or Tenth Realms.
"This strand of pure spiritual power is probably akin to the essence of a True Spirit?" Lin Yuan pondered silently.
For Lin Yuan, as long as the essence of the True Spirit remains, it does not constitute true death.
"How should it be nurtured?" Lin Yuan pondered.
This essence of the True Spirit is extremely fragile. If nurtured directly with the qi of heaven and earth, it would turn to dust in the next moment.
"Let's temporarily nurture it within the 'Five-Colored Lotus'," Lin Yuan thought.
With a slight movement of his mind, Lin Yuan slowly integrated this essence of the True Spirit into the nearby 'lotus flower' that displayed five colors.
The Five-Colored Lotus is a rare spiritual plant in this realm.
When Lin Yuan broke through to the Fifth Rank, most of these rare flowers and plants were consumed, leaving only a few Five-Colored Lotuses.
The nature of the Five-Colored Lotus is gentle, and it has extraordinary effects in nurturing the soul and spirit.
It is extremely suitable for nurturing such a fragile essence of the True Spirit.
Buzz.
Along with Steward Hu's essence of the True Spirit merging into the Five-Colored Lotus, Lin Yuan distinctly felt the essence stabilize and immediately slowly absorb the medicinal power of the Five-Colored Lotus, gradually strengthening.
"Not bad."
"After nurturing for a few years, this essence of the True Spirit should recover to the strength of an ordinary person," Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
As long as it reaches that point, Steward Hu's consciousness will naturally revive once again.
The only thing left is to find a suitable vessel for him.
Hmm. Lin Yuan looked at the Five-Colored Lotus in front of him.
In fact, there is no need to find a vessel. The Five-Colored Lotus in front of him is the best vessel, isn't it?
A strange expression appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
Having the perspective of the main world, Lin Yuan understood that life is not just limited to the human race.
In the vast expanse of the main world's universe, apart from the human race, there are still many powerful and peak races.
They could be plant life, elemental life, energy life, and so on.
This Five-Colored Lotus... If Steward Hu could absorb everything from it, it would undoubtedly be a great opportunity.
Leaving aside other factors, plant-based lifeforms like this are renowned for their longevity.
Of course, even if Steward Hu cannot absorb it, it's not a problem. With Lin Yuan around, it's just a matter of finding another vessel.
Time passed slowly.
In the blink of an eye, several years had passed.
Lin Yuan had hardly left the underground palace, focusing solely on cultivating and enlightening.
" Heaven and Earth."
Lin Yuan appeared pensive. He faintly sensed that this world's Heaven and Earth were extremely vast, seeming to be more than just the Five Domains.
"Could it be that beyond the Five Domains, there are new great regions and continents?"
Lin Yuan pondered. Before traversing, he had allocated a strand of his consciousness to roughly observe the overall situation of this world. However, he hadn't paid much attention and only saw the most prominent five continents.
"However, the fortune of this Heaven and Earth obviously began to flourish. Is it because of my influence?"
Lin Yuan's thoughts shifted.
The so-called fortune of Heaven and Earth was incredibly profound, and Lin Yuan only gained some understanding after transmigrating three or four worlds.
In summary, it meant that the fortunes of individuals would synchronize with the flow of time.
When the fortune of Heaven and Earth flourishes, the frequency of geniuses and strong individuals being born increases significantly. Even the shackles and constraints of cultivation bottlenecks would quietly loosen.
However, generally speaking, it was rare for a Heaven and Earth to experience such a state. It might not even occur once in tens of thousands of years.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan seemed to have noticed something and looked towards a nearby direction.
There was a lotus flower displaying five colors, swaying slightly at this moment.
"Is consciousness awakening?"
Lin Yuan had a hunch. After nurturing for several years, Steward Hu's essence of the True Spirit had rapidly grown, reaching the brink of consciousness awakening.
"Let me take a look."
Lin Yuan stood in front of the Five-Colored Lotus, carefully observing.
"I... I'm not dead?"
Situ Ming (Steward Hu's name) was somewhat dumbfounded. After executing the Disintegration and Burning Divine Technique, he had already prepared for death.
Situ Ming only hoped to see his master one last time before dying and inform him of Tianjian Sect's plans.
But unfortunately...
As the Disintegration and Burning Divine Technique continued, Situ Ming's speed increased, and he couldn't even stop anymore, let alone endure the endless suffering.
However, just as Situ Ming felt utterly hopeless.
He saw his master appear in front of him and try to save him.
It was at this moment that Situ Ming vaguely sensed his master's terrifying strength, that vast aura far surpassing even Tianjianzi, who had reached the Tenth Realm.
Situ Ming died without regrets.
But now?
Situ Ming attempted to sense his surroundings.
To his astonishment, he found that he had turned into a lotus flower.
A lotus flower displaying five colors.
"Master?"
Situ Ming's perception continued to spread.
He discovered a tall man appearing in front of him, and this tall man was his master.
"Don't worry."
"Your soul and spirit are now nurtured within the Five-Colored Lotus."
"Try to integrate into the Five-Colored Lotus as much as possible and take control of it."
Lin Yuan spoke gently.
Becoming the main consciousness of the Five-Colored Lotus wasn't an easy task. Even if the spirit of a powerful individual escaped, searching for a new vessel, it usually ended up in another human.
As for using a plant as a vessel, let alone whether it could be achieved, even if successful, what would happen next?
However, Lin Yuan was different. In the main world, he possessed a complete set of secret techniques, namely the technique of seizing bodies.
The Lord of the Red Kun Star Domain, for example, seized the body of a young Star-Sea Kun in the star sea, leading to his subsequent outstanding achievements.
"Yes."
Situ Ming naturally obeyed to Lin Yuan and immediately began to try to integrate into the Five-Colored Lotus, replacing its main consciousness.
"Good."
Seeing this, Lin Yuan nodded slightly.
By helping Situ Ming in this way, he was also conducting a certain experiment. Moreover, if Situ Ming could truly become the main consciousness of the Five-Colored Lotus, his lifespan would increase to thousands or even tens of thousands of years at least.
It could be considered as a contingency plan left by Lin Yuan in this world.
Tianjian Mountain.
Tianjianzi and the other strong individuals tended to become increasingly restless.
What's going on with Xiahou Yuan? Is he still coming for revenge? Why has there been no movement for so many years? Even if he's severely injured and suppressed in the 18th floor of the Abyss, why hasn't he recovered yet?
Aren't demonic path cultivators experts at recovering from injuries? Can't he just kill some people and absorb their blood essence to recover?
"What exactly is happening?"
"Could it be that Xiahou Yuan knows about my breakthrough, so he dares not come?"
Tianjianzi was also pondering. He realized that for the past few years, he had been like a fool staying on Tianjian Mountain. Not only him, but even the other strong individuals had been staying here.
"This shouldn't be the case."
"For more than a decade, I've been blocking Tianjian Sect. Only a few years ago did that little demon go out."
"However, after being struck by me and using the Disintegration and Burning Divine Technique, he could only fly faster and faster until he completely vanished. How could he pass on information?"
Tianjianzi was puzzled.
But at this point, all he could do was continue to wait.
After waiting for more than a decade, stopping now would imply that they had been wrong for the past decade. How could that be acceptable?
"Don't worry, everyone."
"I believe Xiahou Yuan will come soon."
"We just need to hold on for a while longer."
Tianjianzi spoke, trying to boost the morale of the impatient strong individuals.
Meanwhile...
While most of the strong individuals in the Five Domains remained trapped on Tianjian Mountain, waiting to ambush Xiahou Yuan for revenge, they were unaware that subtle changes were taking place in the world.
In a bustling city, a young beggar looked eagerly at the middle-aged man selling books in front of him, his eyes fixed on a tattered booklet on the man's shelf.
"Get lost, beggar. Where did you come from?"
The middle-aged man selling books waved his hand, his face full of disgust.
" I want that book," the young beggar gathered his courage and approached, pointing to the tattered booklet on the shelf.
"Ten coins, do you have them?" the middle-aged man said irritably.
"I don't have ten coins," the young beggar shrank back, "but I have two coins."
The young beggar reached into his pocket and pulled out two copper coins.
"You actually have money?" the middle-aged man blinked in surprise.
Then he picked up the tattered booklet and handed it to the young beggar. "I'm feeling generous today, so I'll sell it to you at a discount."
In fact, these booklets were purchased for a few coins from a bookstore that was about to close.
Even if the young beggar had offered just one coin, he would have sold it.
"Thank you."
The young beggar hugged the worn-out booklet and placed the two coins on the shelf before leaving happily.
"Fool," the middle-aged man muttered as he watched the young beggar walk away, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
In a dilapidated temple, the young beggar carefully read the booklet.
"The Divine Refinement Technique?"
The young beggar imitated the movements of the figures in the booklet.
Unbeknownst to him, the primordial energy of heaven and earth slowly converged and flowed into his body.
In just one day, the young beggar stepped into the First Realm.
On a cliffside, a young man was being chased by dozens of black-clad figures.
"Even if I die, I'll return as a vengeful ghost," the young man's face was filled with resentment as he jumped off the cliff.
After an unknown period of time, the young man woke up from unconsciousness.
"Where am I?"
The young man found himself blocked by a piece of wood growing on the edge of the cliff.
And not far away, a dark hole appeared on the almost smooth cliff, obviously man-made.
The young man surveyed his surroundings and realized that his only hope for survival was to enter that hole.
So he made his way towards the cave entrance with great effort.
"Useless."
"Three years ago, where did your talent go?"
"For three whole years, you couldn't even sense the primordial energy of heaven and earth, or form a vortex of primordial energy in your body. Yet you have the audacity to continue consuming the clan's cultivation resources?"
An old man with a white beard was reprimanding a young man.
The young man kept his head down, clenched his teeth, and unnoticed by anyone, a faint gleam of light flashed on the black ring on his right hand.
With the flourishing of the fortune of heaven and earth, countless opportunities will arise, and countless geniuses will emerge, among whom the strongest geniuses can be said to be... the Sons of Fortune?
In the palace underground.
Although Lin Yuan hadn't gone out, he could vaguely sense the changes in heaven and earth.
This kind of change was extremely profound, even Lin Yuan felt shocked and surprised.
Just then, not far away, the five-colored lotus suddenly withered.
In the underground, the lotus root of the five-colored lotus faintly took shape.
A human figure crawled out.
This human figure was entirely composed of lotus roots. After coming out, he immediately knelt down and respectfully said to Lin Yuan, "Situ Ming pays respects to the Master."
"Rise."
Lin Yuan's thoughts moved slightly.
He raised his right hand, and a faint wound appeared.
Then a drop of silvery-red blood, like mercury, fell onto Situ Ming's lotus root body.
Immediately, the blood scattered and melted away.
Situ Ming's lotus root body began to change rapidly.
Flesh, skin, limbs, and facial features grew out.
In no time, a child of about ten years old appeared.
"This?"
Situ Ming widened his eyes.
Originally, he was already delighted to escape from the five-colored lotus and crawl out of the ground.
But now, with just a drop of blood from his master, he was transformed into a real human?
Such a method? What's the difference from the mythical gods who 'created humans'?
"Thank you, Master."
Situ Ming knelt down again, grateful.
"No need."
Lin Yuan waved his hand and observed Situ Ming's changes.
Then he continued, "You can enter the world now. With the flourishing of the fortune of heaven and earth, there are countless opportunities. Go find the opportunities that belong to you."
"Yes, Master."
Situ Ming immediately responded.
He always carried out his master's suggestions meticulously.
Before leaving, Situ Ming seemed to think of something and asked cautiously, "Do I need to bring back those opportunities?"
"No need."
Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.
With a profound meaning, he said:
"I no longer need those opportunities." (How cool!)
