Chapter 371: Chapter 346: Primordial Spirit Second Transformation _1
Lu Yan had been cultivating in these dark clouds for almost ten days, feeling completely comfortable, he then flew off towards the faraway flame river, encountering the scorching heat of the fire, drawing out the essence of nature from the fire.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Yan stayed in the First Layer Heaven cultivating for a month.
When he got tired, he returned to his physical body to rejuvenate. After that, he entered the First Layer Heaven again.
"The power of nature in the First Layer Heaven is not strong enough. Let’s see the Second Layer Heaven."
Lu Yan’s soul continued to ascend, and soon he felt like he crossed a barrier, entering the Second Layer Heaven.
The natural power in the Second Layer Heaven is more violent and more potent.
Lu Yan ran into bad luck; he was just swept into the Second Layer Heaven when he got caught in the whirl of a Gang Wind.
The Gang Wind here was as real as it was made of countless razor-sharp blades cutting into Lu Yan’s body.
Lu Yan felt a stinging pain all over his body, as if he was being mutilated by a thousand knives. His soul seemed to be shattered into pieces.
He summoned his soul power, and it took all his strength to escape from the Gang Wind. Only to find that his soul was already fully damaged.
If this was his physical body, Lu Yan would’ve been perspiring coldly.
"This Nine Layer Heaven is not a good place, with bad luck, the soul can completely perish here."
Lu Yan secretly warned himself, that he should be more careful in the future.
However, at this time, Lu Yan’s heart shuddered.
The tree inside his soul is now emanating a special energy, this energy is filled with the essence of life. Just by revolving around his soul once, the damage on his soul is healed.
"Can it actually do this?"
Lu Yan was both surprised and happy.
Unintentionally, he found another benefit of the tree.
"Try it again."
Lu Yan showed determination and rushed back into Gang Wind.
The Gang Wind was like countless tiny blades, viciously cutting into his soul.
Lu Yan gritted his teeth and persevered, while focusing on the tree.
Sure enough, when Lu Yan’s soul was significantly damaged, power surged from within the tree and his soul healed at an exaggerated speed. It became full of life again.
"This is great, terrific. Isn’t my soul now invincible? At least, if my enemies can’t completely annihilate my soul in one go, I can recover."
Lu Yan was ecstatic.
Moreover, with this ability, he could ignore the threats and continuously refine his soul and increase its strength with the power of nature.
Other people had to tread lightly when refining with the power of nature. When their souls get injured they need to spend time healing their souls and can only continue the refinement process after their souls have healed.
But he was not afraid at all, he could stay in the power of nature for extended time. His progress was unlike any other.
"Hahaha, this feels great."
Lu Yan laughed loudly, roaming in the Gang Wind where he could clearly feel his soul getting stronger.
Moreover, by being continuously refined by nature’s power, his soul became more condensed.
After cultivating in the Gang Wind for several days, Lu Yan rushed out of the Gang Wind and entered a thunderstorm.
After staying in Second Layer Heaven for more than a month, Lu Yan then entered the Third Layer Heaven.
Then came the Fourth Layer Heaven.
After arriving at the Fourth Layer Heaven, Lu Yan stayed and cultivated here and did not proceed upwards.
The natural power of the Fourth Layer Heaven is extremely terrifying, and the environment is highly complex.
It put tremendous pressure on Lu Yan’s soul. Often, a single thunderbolt could cause a serious injury to his soul.
If it wasn’t for the large tree, Lu Yan wouldn’t dare to come here.
The Fifth Layer Heaven is certainly more terrifying, Lu Yan worried that his soul may be annihilated in an instant, and even the large tree would not get the chance to heal it.
Lu Yan was content with cultivating in the Fourth Layer Heaven.
Spring came and autumn went, more than a year has passed in a blink of an eye.
Add it all up, since he left Guyue City and returned to Lingdong, it has already been two years.
Boom!
Light burst forth from Lu Yan’s forehead in his secluded cultivation place, as if a thunderbolt sounded in his mind. A more powerful aura radiated from him as the Heavenly Earth Power converged towards him.
His True Body and True Vigor once again started to transform.
The second transformation of the Primordial Spirit manifested, the limit was broken.
After two years of cultivation, his Cultivation Level advanced once again.
This speed was extremely fast.
You should know that normal Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators have a lifespan of a thousand years.
Trying to break through a layer of Cultivation Level often took hundreds of years, or even more.
Even Chu Tianjiao, an incredibly talented cultivator, took three hundred years to move from the first transformation of Primordial Spirit to the sixth transformation.
The fact that Lu Yan could make a breakthrough in just two short years had something to do with the large quantity of Soul Crystals he had begun to refine.
Just relying on refining by the power of nature, even with the help of the large tree, it wouldn’t have been this fast.
"Continue..."
After breaking through, Lu Yan’s realm was very stable. He let his soul enter the Fourth Layer Heaven, and continued to refine using the power of nature.
Time flew by, year after year.
In the blink of an eye, another five years passed.
Over these years, having ample resources as well as the support of Hua Wu Array, the power of Lingdong swiftly increased.
Li Quan, Wang Lin, Lu Qing, and others, originally had average potential for martial arts, but under the blessing of such resources, their cultivation level was forcibly elevated to fourth and fifth-level master status.
Li Quan reached the Fourth-level Master, while Wang Lin and Lu Qing both advanced to the Fifth-level Master.
Those with greater potential reached a higher level - the Sixth-level Master.
Take Guan Shan for example, with the help of several Solidifying Reality Pills, he had successfully entered the first refinement of True Body within one leap.
As for Wen Yuan, his progress was even greater.
Now, he is surprisingly at True Body Second Refinement, completely capable of ruling an area and leading an army by himself.
Moreover, under the Lingdong Military Mansion, there are three thousand warriors who were trained from a young age, they have also entered the Hua Wu Array for cultivation. With the blessing of the Martial Pill, their progress has been extraordinarily great.
All three thousand warriors have crossed the limit of five times.
That is to say, even the weakest among them have crossed the limit five times.
Some of them have already broken through major barriers and entered the rank of Martial Marquis.
After all, the speed of refining Martial Pills in the Hua Wu Array is more than ten times that of ordinary people.
Seven years, equivalent to seventy years of cultivation, it would be hard not to progress.
Plus the carefully trained military strength of ten thousand, Lu Yan now has his own elite martial army.
Their elite level has already surpassed the average King Ming’s Army.
But their number is far less than King Ming’s Army.
However, this number is steadily increasing.
Because Li Quan, Wang Lin, Wen Yuan and others are always looking for people with martial arts talents to train from a young age.
In addition to the 3000 well-formed martial troops, there are also many reserves, martial troops whose cultivation level have not surpassed three times limit breaking.
With this, resources are flowing out rapidly.
Luckily the resources from the ancient treasure are abundant enough to support it temporarily.
"General, General, Brother Lu, Brother Lu..."
One day, Zuo Yun came rushing into the general’s mansion.
"Brother Zuo, what’s gotten you so excited? Don’t tell me there’s been progress in the immortal puppet?"
Lu Yan curiously asked.
"The general is truly a prophet."
Zuo Yun curiously said, "After years of exploration, I’ve finally deciphered the Will Power Pattern on the Immortal Puppet, allowing me to control it perfectly, elevating my attainment with Wish Pattern to a significantly higher level."
When Zuo Yun waved his hand, ten Immortal Puppets appeared. Controlled by Zuo Yun, they were able to move freely, capable of unleashing the power of the First Transformation of the Primordial Spirit.
"Great."
Lu Yan applauded, greatly excited.
You should know, he has hundreds of Immortal Puppets, even the intact ones are more than seventy.
If he could completely control them, he would have an additional seventy Primordial Spirit Realm experts.
Even though they were only at the First Transformation of the Primordial Spirit.
How many Primordial Spirits are there in the Mansion of King Ming?
Only thirty-something.
"General, as long as the Will Power Pattern is deciphered, controlling it is very simple, it only requires the use of Soul Power..."
Zuo Yun promptly explained in detail to Lu Yan the method for controlling the immortal puppet.
Lu Yan listened carefully, then spent a few hours digesting the information.
Actually it was simple, just need to split a thread of Spiritual Sense, attach it to the Immortal Puppet, activate the Will Power Pattern on it, and then you can easily control the Immortal Puppet.
With a thought, ten Immortal Puppets moved according to Lu Yan’s will.
"Success, wait, General, have you broken through to the Primordial Spirit Realm?"
Zuo Yun finally noticed.
"Yes, I broke through recently. I’ll keep these ten Immortal Puppets, there are still sixty intact Immortal Puppets here, take them to research."
Lu Yan took out a Sumi Mustard Seed Bag and handed it to Zuo Yun.
"Rest assured, even if my knowledge in Wish Pattern hasn’t progressed, if I understand one, I’ll be able to understand the rest. I can very quickly grasp the remaining Immortal Puppets."
Zuo Yun took the Sumi Mustard Seed Bag and quickly left.
This time, Zuo Yun only used a few months to understand all of the remaining Immortal Puppets.
In total, seventy-two intact Immortal Puppets.
Lu Yan left twenty for Zuo Yun, while the rest were kept with him.
After all, Zuo Yun only had the cultivation level of the First Transformation of the Primordial Spirit, and could only control about ten Immortal Puppets at the same time, any more would be redundant.
Lu Yan, on the other hand, had Soul Power far exceeding an ordinary person, and had no difficulty controlling dozens of Immortal Puppets.
One day, a subordinate reported that the Mansion of King Ming had sent a message stating that Chu Long would visit Lingdong shortly and inquiring whether Lu Yan and Zuo Yun would be around.
"Chu Long is coming?"
Lu Yan was stunned.
Chu Long visiting here for an inspection would be normal, and wanting to see him would be normal as well. The key question was why would he also want to see Zuo Yun?
"Perhaps, Zuo Yun’s presence has long been figured out by the Mansion of King Ming."
Lu Yan speculated.
The Mansion of King Ming certainly had spies in Lingdong.
This was only normal.
If the Mansion of King Ming didn’t have spies in Lingdong, it would never have become one of the world’s strongest feudal princes and would have been erased by others long ago.
If he can’t have a clear understanding of his territory, how can he compete with the other feudal princes?
Zuo Yun’s name as a Master of Array has become increasingly well-known in Lingdong in recent years. It would be normal for the Mansion of King Ming to want to meet him after hearing about it.
"When Chu Long arrives, Zuo Yun’s identity as a Primordial Spirit Realm expert will definitely be revealed. He wouldn’t be here trying to snatch Zuo Yun from me, would he?"
Lu Yan had misgivings.
Lu Yan immediately summoned Zuo Yun, explained the situation, and Zuo Yun swore that he wouldn’t leave Lingdong. Only then did Lu Yan feel assured.
Seven days later, Chu Long arrived in Lingdong. Lu Yan and Zuo Yun went to pay their respects.
"Lu Yan, your cultivation level has reached the Ture Body Seventh Refinement?"
Seeing Lu Yan, Chu Long was slightly surprised.
"He didn’t see my true cultivation level."
Lu Yan was delighted.
He hid his soul aura, his soul like a dried-up tree, and indeed, Chu Long had not seen through him.
And the Ture Body Seventh Refinement was something he had deliberately revealed.
"You do have sharp eyes, Commander. Over these years, I’ve come across some fortunes, and found some precious treasures of heaven and earth, which has led to such progress."
Lu Yan replied.
"Appears that seven years ago, you did enter the Tongtian ruins."
Chu Long concluded.
Lu Yan gave an embarrassed smile, which was the equivalent of confirming it.
