Chapter 186 4th Life: Poisonous Toad Skill, Law Dao Mark!
In the Cyan Spirit Secret Realm.
Everywhere on the bloodstained clearings, rows of human-like stumps stood.
Lu Yuan held half of a head-sized grotesque worm in his hand, his eyes fixed intently on that disciple of the North Cold Sect.
Due to the mutation of the Heavenly Dao in this world, all living beings were controlled by the Parasite Insect Race.
Even when the parasite took root inside the cultivators, consuming their internal organs, they remained completely unaware.
Lu Yuan relied on the Eye of Truth to pierce through illusions and see the harshest reality of this world.
Otherwise, he too might have been kept in the dark like all the other cultivators of this world.
What Lu Yuan didn't expect was that...
When he dug out this parasite, the North Cold Sect disciple seemed to sense its presence!
"Tell me, what do you see in my hand?"
Lu Yuan held the parasite close to the North Cold Sect disciple's face, asking with a serious tone.
"A heart..." The disciple instinctively blurted out, but then he shook his head and rubbed his eyes hard.
He looked again and found that the thing in Lu Yuan's hand had transformed again into an ugly, twisted worm!
"No, it's a worm. No, it's my heart!"
A hint of struggle and confusion appeared in the disciple's eyes, his consciousness on the verge of collapse.
"Illusions, all are illusions!"
"You demon, just kill me or do what you will, why torture me with illusions!"
He half-knelt on the ground, his face contorted and snarled, refusing to accept any of it.
"Under the long-term transformation by the parasites, these cultivators have been deeply affected; even after escaping their control, it's hard for them to regain clarity in a short time."
"How, then, do the demonic cultivators manage to free themselves from the Parasite Insect Race's control?"
Lu Yuan stared at the North Cold Sect disciple, pondering.
"What did you see?"
Immediately afterwards,
he turned to other North Cold Sect disciples, curiously asking.
Those North Cold Sect disciples, seeing Lu Yuan holding a bloody heart, turned pale and trembled uncontrollably!
Wasn't the Medicine Buddha Sect all about kindness, with disciples dedicated to good?
Why did Lu Yuan, this madman, appear among them?
Watching the speechless, terrified North Cold Sect disciples, Lu Yuan already had the answer in his heart.
In the next few days,
he used these North Cold Sect disciples to continue various experiments and research.
Humans are the spirits of all things, while Gu are the essence of heaven and earth.
With the distortion of the Heavenly Dao, these Parasite Insects have replaced Gu worms, becoming carriers of the Heaven and Earth Laws.
Although the parasites within the North Cold Sect disciples are still in their infancy, containing only minute Law Fragments,
Lu Yuan, with his heaven-defying comprehension, can still gain a wealth of insights and understanding from them.
[Your heaven-defying comprehension deepens your understanding of the Heaven and Earth Laws through studying the Parasite Insect Race!]
[Your heaven-defying comprehension leads you to reverse-engineer the unique cultivation technique of North Cold Sect, successfully deriving the method to refine the Third-Turn Ice Soul Gu!]
[Your heaven-defying comprehension realizes a trace of Ice Elemental Power, greatly enhancing the combat strength of the Innate Spirit Gu.]
On the surface of the Innate Spirit Gu, a faint, barely detectable Dao Mark appeared; it was so subtle that it was almost impossible to notice without careful observation.
Yet even so, with the blessing of this Dao Mark, the Innate Spirit Gu underwent an unpredictable transformation!
"I need more, and higher quality samples."
"The Innate Spirit Gu is unique, a rare Heaven and Earth Wonder; with enough Parasite Insects for study, it will undoubtedly evolve stronger!"
Lu Yuan gazed at the parasite in his hand, his eyes burning with intensity.
These Parasite Insects carry numerous Heaven and Earth Law Fragments, embodying this world's rules, one could even say they are part of this realm's Heavenly Dao.
According to this world's cultivation system, only those in the Nascent Soul Realm qualify to contact and comprehend the Heaven and Earth Laws.
But if he could use these parasites to access those laws earlier, it would undoubtedly provide a substantial boost to his power!
"Zhi Zhi Zhi~"
The parasite, tormented by Lu Yuan, could feel his burning gaze and emitted a sharp insect screech.
"Noisy!"
Lu Yuan furrowed his brow, clenched his fingers, and applied slight force.
With an explosion of brute strength, the parasite instantly shattered, turning into powder scattering into the air.
But he was well aware that the Parasite Insect Race was an embodiment of the Heaven and Earth Rules, and even if he smashed them to pieces, the parasite would become the tiniest worm, returning to this land.
Of course.
The parasites couldn't be killed, but their consciousness would be erased.
Once their bodies dissipated, their consciousnesses would follow into oblivion, marking a kind of death.
"The Cyan Spirit Secret Realm opens for a month each time."
"First find the Law Fragments here, then seek other parasitic cultivators for research gradually."
Lu Yuan rose, waved his hand, shattering all surviving North Cold Sect disciples and the parasites within them, turning them into a rain of blood that stained the entire ground.
Then he activated the Divine Movement Gu, his whole body transforming into a stream of light, speeding towards the depths of the Secret Realm.
Compared to the vast and boundless Spirit Realm, the Cyan Spirit Secret Realm is not huge; an ordinary Core Formation Cultivator could explore every corner within a few days.
