Chapter 448: Chapter 423: The Monsters of Origin World_1
Having almost finished the process of refining the soul crystals in his possession, Lu Yan took out a long whip to study closely.
The whip was surrounded by crackling electricity, buzzing and appearing as though it was formed entirely from thunder.
This was a broken remnant of an Immortal Treasure from Lord Lei Ming.
An Immortal Treasure, even if broken, still retains its Artifact Spirit. The spirit contains the complete rules which, if successfully refined, would significantly enhance one’s soul power and deepened the understanding of the laws.
For instance, Shen Yinuo improved her strength and exceeded two levels to reach the sixth rotation of the Yuan God after refining a broken Immortal Treasure from the Red Flame Immortal Ruins.
Based on Yinuo’s account, she had grasped the Rule of Fire at the Fifth Rotate of Yuan God, during her sixth rotation that Rule of Fire greatly improved, reaching the Third Void level.
Normally, for those in the Primordial Spirit Realm, it is challenging to refine a broken Immortal Treasure.
Even for those with stronger cultivation, if they can refine it, it is still difficult to make it their own.
In the case of Shen Yinuo, it was due to the peculiarity of the Great Sun Melting Furnace that she achieved such results.
With the peculiar big tree present in his Primordial Spirit, can it serve the same function?
Lu Yan decided to give it a try.
His Primordial Spirit flew out, taking hold of the thunder whip with a powerful surge of soul power encompassing the whip.
From within his Primordial Spirit, the roots of the big tree reached out, wrapping the whip tightly.
The whip began to rack and shake, the broken Artifact Spirit inside starting to resist.
However, with a shake of his primordial spirit, a phantom image of the big tree rushed into the thunder whip. Stability instantly descended over the whip, suppressing it below.
Several days later, Lu Yan’s eyes shone brightly.
It worked.
His Primordial Spirit could, indeed, refine the Thunder Whip. In the process of refining, he had a profound dissection of the Rule of Thunder contained in the whip.
His understanding of the Rule of Thunder was deepening continuously making a breakthrough towards the Fourth Void.
"I have an Immortal Treasure with the Rule of Fire, a remnant from Immortal Master Golden Sun. It is perfect for Yinuo. If given to her to refine, her strength would undoubtedly stand at a greater height."
"Also, there’s Sirong. Her Organ Miracle is compatible with the wood element. Among the nine Immortal Ruins, there’s a perfect Immortal Treasure corresponding to the Rule of Wood. Though she might not be able to refine it directly, by holding it, she should gain substantial benefits."
Lu Yan pondered.
At the same time, he thought of Wen Yuan.
Wen Yuan had a gold attribute, and the Immortal Treasure in the White Tiger Immortal Ruin is governed by the Rule of Gold.
Once Wen Yuan breaks through to the state of Yuan God, the treasure can be given to him for enlightenment.
Moreover, Chu Tianjiao practices the Rule of Wind, and Lu Yan has an Immortal Treasure corresponding to the Rule of Wind, obtained from Immortal Lord Bingfeng. He could give it to him.
However, after some thought, Lu Yan decided to hold back.
Chu Tianjiao’s cultivation level is too high, being at the Seventh Rotation of Primordial Spirit. If he gets hold of an Immortal Treasure, he might be too strong after stepping into the Primordial Spirit Eighth Rotate Unity Way. If Lu Yan is not around and he harbors any evil intentions, no one could restrain him.
Having ascended to the throne of the Great Wu Emperor, he had to consider the principle of balance.
Consequently, he stopped his cultivation, identified Shen Yinuo and Zhao Sirong, gave both of them the two Immortal Treasures, then returned to the practice room to continue refining the Thunder Whip.
In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.
After spending three months, Lu Yan finally completely refined the Thunder Whip, making it his own.
The Rule of Thunder that he practiced leaped across two levels and reached the Fifth Void.
Most importantly, he extracted the energy of the Artifact Spirit of the Immortal Treasure, which caused his cultivation level to explode. He was now at the peak of the Fifth Rotation of his Primordial Spirit, merely a step away from the Sixth Rotation.
His understanding of the laws had long reached the level of the Sixth Rotation, and now that he steps into the Fifth Void, his rule cultivation could be compared to some experienced seventh-turn experts.
What he lacks, is only soul power.
Once soul power arrives, breakthrough would happen naturally.
Boom!
A formidable aura exploded from Lu Yan, skyrocketing into the sky.
"This is... His Majesty has made another breakthrough."
In the Great Wu Imperial City, one after another strong cultivators in the Primordial Spirit Realm looked towards the depths of the imperial city, a color of reverence glinting in their eyes.
Lu Yan’s previous combat power had already astounded people. He slayed the Yuan God of the Seventh Rotation like chopping vegetables, and it is said that many Yuan God Eight Rotate Immortal Masters died at his hands.
Now that he has made another breakthrough, his strength would surely be jaw-dropping.
The energy of the entire world within a thousand miles was gathering around Lu Yan, seeping into his body, promoting the metamorphosis of his true body and true vigor.
In the training room, Lu Yan’s Primordial Spirit floated above his head, absorbing the energy of the world like a black hole, rapidly becoming more robust.
His spiritual sense was continuously expanding.
Previously, his spiritual sense could only cover a thousand miles, but now it had exceeded this limit, breaking through one thousand miles...
One thousand two hundred miles, one thousand three hundred miles...
It stopped only at two thousand miles, where it reached the limit again.
At the same time, Lu Yan’s Primordial Spirit’s intensity soared, officially entering the Sixth Rotation. The big tree inside his Yuan God seemed lifelike, as though it had come to life.
With his Primordial Spirit stabilizing, his true body and true qi also successfully transformed. His true body became stronger and more robust, similar to a Spiritual Treasure.
His True Vigor became more condensed and richer. The slightest movement sent a thunderous momentum forth.
"Even if I now confront Immortal Master Golden Sun, or even Immortal Master Purple Wing head-on without the Thunder Knife fragment, I should be able to overcome them, even shatter them. If I combine this with the Thunder Knife fragment, it shouldn’t be difficult to kill."
"Apart from immortals, I have no adversaries."
Lu Yan sighed, revealing the dilemma of having reached such greater heights.
Having reached this world’s peak and being its sole ruler, it’s time to enjoy life, isn’t it?
But immediately after, Lu Yan thought of Immortal Great Freedom and the Immortal Clan.
In the overseas Origin World, masters are as common as clouds, and immortality is just an ordinary feat.
There are also members of the Immortal Clan, who are equally powerful and represent the pinnacle race of the Origin World. If they find out that the Dao Book is in Lu Yan’s possession, it would spell great disaster for him.
"I still cannot afford to slacken. Being in the Primordial Spirit Realm or even at the combine way stage only bestows a lifespan of a few thousand years at most. Even for the Immortal or Demon clans with their long lifespans, living for one or two ten thousand years tops their limits. Only by attaining immortality can one possess an unlimited lifespan.
"The time to enjoy has not yet arrived, at least until I’ve surpassed immortality." Lu Yan silently admonished himself, then regained his spirit and began to comprehend the Starry Sky Step.
Days passed one by one.
Half a year after the establishment of the Da Wu Emperor Dynasty, the world was basically unified.
Even the Corpse Ghost Cave and Wandu Cave, which dominated Nanjiang, acknowledged the unstoppable momentum of the Da Wu Emperor Dynasty and submitted to it.
From then on, the world, turbulent for over five hundred years, was finally stabilised.
Everywhere, development was orderly, and the people’s hearts were hopeful.
After years of continuous wars, the population was only about one-tenth of the peak period of Da Chu, and the number of martial cultivators and strong fighters had less than a tenth of the peak period of Da Chu.
But given time, things will slowly recover.
After entering the Sixth Rotation of the Yuan God, besides comprehending martial arts and immersing himself in the Thunder Tribulation Ocean to refine his Primordial Spirit, Lu Yan also took time to guide others in their cultivation.
He even personally led Zhao Sirong and Shen Yinuo’s primordial spirits into the Thunder Tribulation Ocean to help them refine theirs.
With Lu Yan’s assistance, Zhao Sirong’s cultivation speed was ten times faster than before.
Being together day and night, their relationship heated up quickly.
For this, Shen Yinuo didn’t have much to say.
Shen Yinuo, born from the Gu family, was a descendant of the ancient royal family.
And amongst the feudal lords, which one didn’t have multiple wives and concubines?
More so for a country’s ruler.
She was not surprised by this and had mentally prepared for it.
At first, she was a little uncomfortable, but she gradually came to accept it.
A year after the founding of the Great Wu.
Lu Yan, Shen Yinuo, and Zhao Sirong held a grand wedding that the whole country celebrated.
On that day, Shen Yinuo was named Queen of Da Wu, and Zhao Sirong was named Consort.
Not long after, Zhao Sirong fell pregnant, which left Shen Yinuo feeling somewhat downcast.
It was Shen Yinuo who had been with Lu Yan earlier, and the two had ’battled’ countless times, but yet there were no signs of her being pregnant.
On the contrary, Zhao Sirong, who joined Lu Yan later, was the first to get pregnant, which left something of a bitter taste in Shen Yinuo’s mouth.
Seeing this, Lu Yan was baffled as well, and he specially visited the master of the World Bank, Mr. World.
Mr. World was a name that the Bank’s master had chosen for himself.
"Shen Yinuo, that girl has exceptional talents, particularly her Organ Miracle, which can secrete a strange kind of blood. I can’t see through it. I guess she must have a special constitution," speculated Mr. World.
"A special constitution? The Internal God-man, shouldn’t it be a special constitution?" Lu Yan muttered.
"The Internal God-man. What special constitution? It’s nothing more than having miracles in your organs and unlocking certain potentials in your body. In the Origin World, most cultivators can achieve that. Some people awaken from their organs, some people awaken from their blood, it doesn’t count as anything."
"The special constitution I’m talking about is extraordinary by birth, close to the Doctrine, unparalleled in talent, quick in cultivation, and invincible at the same level."
"Therefore, whether it’s an Innate Martial Body or an Internal God-man, neither counts as a special constitution. If we’re going to count, a special soul practitioner barely qualifies as one. Of course, if there are miracles in three or more organs, then that counts too," explained Mr. World.
"Can there be people who awaken miracles in three organs?" Lu Yan asked, astounded.
"Of course, there are. Do not measure the Origin World by the standards of this continent."
"In the Origin World, not to mention three organs containing miracles, there are quite a few people who have miracles in all five organs. Some even have miracles in all five organs, are special soul practitioners, and even have Innate Martial Bodies," explained Mr. World.
Lu Yan was left speechless.
Wasn’t it said that being an Innate Martial Body and an Internal God-man are difficult to reconcile?
In the Origin World, there are actually individuals who simultaneously possess an innate martial body, are internal god-men, and special soul practitioners.
And all their five organs contain miracles.
What kind of monster would that be?
Lu Yan felt a bit overwhelmed.
"So, don’t be complacent. You may be invincible at the same rank in this continent, but in the Origin World, you’re nothing. Those who can crush you at the same level may not be numerous, but they’re also not a minority," advised Mr. World.
"Elder, didn’t you say that after awakening again, you only had a few pieces of information left in your mind? How come you know so much about the Origin World?" Lu Yan asked, doubting.
"What’s so difficult about that? The Immortal Clan is a peculiar race. After reaching adulthood, they can awaken their race’s cultivation method from their bloodline, and even gain a lot of information from their bloodline. And I was able to find out from extracting memories directly from a member of the Immortal Clan," explained Mr. World.
Lu Yan finally understood.
