Chapter 194: 4th Life: Soul Searching Secret Technique, Harmonize with Light and Dust!_2
Within the Cyan Spirit Secret Realm.
Lu Yuan stood atop a mountain peak, overlooking the entire land shrouded in black mist, yet his thoughts involuntarily drifted afar.
Just as the North Cold Sect Ancestor had speculated.
Before the Cyan Spirit Secret Realm was about to close.
Lu Yuan utilized his heaven-defying comprehension to deduce the Third-Turns and Light-Blending Dust Gu from the Heaven and Earth Laws.
This Gu could mimic Law Dao Marks and perfectly integrate into this world.
Thus allowing Lu Yuan and Gao Qi, among others, to continue staying in the secret realm, evading the North Cold Sect Ancestor's search.
Otherwise, with the methods of a Divinity Transformation Great Power, no matter how well Gao Qi and the others disguised themselves, they would be easily discovered.
However, although Lu Yuan temporarily evaded the calamity, another new problem now lay before him.
The laws of the Cyan Spirit Secret Realm were severely incomplete, and if he stayed here too long, he would inevitably be affected as well.
"This place is not suitable for a prolonged stay; it seems I must quickly find a way to leave here."
"Yet fortune and misfortune are interdependent, as the Cyan Spirit Secret Realm isolates from Heaven and Earth, greatly weakening the Heavenly Dao's control and influence on cultivators."
"I can take this opportunity to try and see if I can transform Gao Qi and others into Gu Cultivators!"
Lu Yuan thought carefully and immediately began to try.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.
For many cultivators, ten years was merely a time for a retreat.
But within these ten years, the entire Cyan Spirit Secret Realm underwent earth-shaking changes.
A decade later, as a batch of new disciples cautiously entered this land, even with their low cultivation, they could distinctly sense the unusualness of this place.
Firstly, the spiritual energy.
The Cyan Spirit Secret Realm formed its own world, with many relics guarded by layers of arrays, significantly weakening the erosion of the Heavenly Dao and the pollution of polluted spiritual qi.
Through relentless research and attempts, Lu Yuan, relying on his heaven-defying comprehension, finally succeeded in perfecting and restoring many ancient arrays!
When these ancient arrays were fully operational, much of the polluted spiritual qi was refined into pure energy, more suitable for Gu Cultivator cultivation.
However, what is honey to me is arsenic to others.
This pure energy was an unparalleled poison to parasitic cultivators!
When parasitic cultivators were enveloped by the pure energy, the parasitic larvae within them could not absorb any energy from the outside and their strength would be greatly weakened, becoming exceedingly fragile.
As a result, many cultivators were more prone to going mad and thereby discovered the truth of the parasites!
The second point.
Some disciples with keen spiritual senses felt an ever-present sense of being watched the moment they stepped into the secret realm.
As if a pair of eyes in the dark were silently watching their every move!
"Senior Brother, why do I feel a chill on my back, as if someone is watching us? Could it be that the demon Lu Yuan isn't dead?"
A timid female disciple spoke in a terrified, trembling voice, her face pale with fear.
"Lu Yuan?"
Hearing those two words, everyone's expression changed dramatically, as if hearing some kind of taboo.
Although the North Cold Sect Ancestor had strictly ordered all information sealed upon his return.
But there is no wall that can block the wind entirely.
It wasn't long before.
The news about the Cyan Spirit Secret Realm trial quietly spread and was quickly learned by many well-informed people.
Now, after ten years of fermentation, Lu Yuan's deeds were well-known, making him a great demon in the hearts of countless sect disciples!
"Don't panic, there are two Divinity Transformation Ancestors personally overseeing this trial. As long as that demon Lu Yuan dares to show up, he will certainly be instantly killed!"
"We just need to find Lu Yuan's whereabouts and report back to the sect, and we can receive the guidance and attention of the Ancestors!"
A young man spoke to comfort them.
Hearing these words, many people's expressions lifted, and their eyes once again turned determined.
Because of Lu Yuan's existence, the once-a-decade trial could no longer be held.
After all, Lu Yuan already possessed Core Formation combat power ten years ago; who knew what terrifying level his strength had reached now?
Yet the Sect Leader of the Giant Sword Pavilion and the North Cold Sect Ancestor, although they hated Lu Yuan deeply, they weren't foolish enough to throw the genius disciples they had painstakingly cultivated into the secret realm to die needlessly.
Therefore, most of the disciples entering the secret realm were of mediocre aptitude.
They also knew this expedition was perilous and that a slight mistake could cost them their lives.
But heavy rewards encourage bravery.
The thought that they might gain the attention of a Divinity Transformation Great Power had everyone reinvigorated, once again striving to find any trace of Lu Yuan.
But little did they know, at that moment, a few disciples of the Demon Sect clad in black robes stood not far away, recording their every word and deed.
And at the first opportunity, they used spiritual transmission means to send the information back to Lu Yuan.
Meanwhile, in a concealed cave abode.
Lu Yuan was sitting cross-legged, casually placing a spirit fruit beside him.
If other genius disciples were present, they would be shocked to discover that around Lu Yuan there were dozens of scattered spirit fruits.
Each spirit fruit contained a fragment of heaven and earth law, an unrivaled treasure dreamed of by all Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Yet these heaven and earth wonders were casually tossed around by Lu Yuan, and any Nascent Soul cultivator seeing this would scold the reckless waste of heavenly treasures!
"I have comprehended all the law fragments of this world; these spirit fruits are of no use to me anymore."
Lu Yuan's eyes were deep.
In these ten years, besides perfecting ancient arrays, he spent most of his time comprehending heaven and earth laws and deducing Gu formulas.
Therefore, five years ago, he had already successfully stepped into the Golden Core Peak Realm, ready at any time to become a Nascent Soul strong person.
However, a Nascent Soul strong person needs to comprehend heaven and earth laws and condense law Dao marks.
The more perfect the law Dao marks mastered by a Nascent Soul strong person, the greater their potential in the future.
The laws of this world are incomplete, and breaking through here would only waste Lu Yuan's natural talent.
Otherwise, with his heaven-defying comprehension, cultivating painstakingly for ten years, even reaching the peak of the Nascent Soul realm would be easily achievable.
"It's time to leave this place."
Lu Yuan stood up, muttering to himself.
And just at this moment.
A light flashed across the sky, transforming into a communication Gu and perching on his shoulder.
Lu Yuan carefully perused the information contained within, a cold smile appearing on his face.
"The North Cold Sect and the Giant Sword Pavilion forces are truly patient, having waited for ten years. With such hospitality, how can I not return the favor?"
Yet Lu Yuan also knew.
These disciples were just cannon fodder sent by the North Cold Sect; even if Lu Yuan killed them all, there would be no heartache.
Only by killing some elders with noble status or Nascent Soul strong persons would the North Cold Sect suffer significant losses!
"It seems it's time to act according to that plan."
Lu Yuan's eyes flickered, his heart already made up.
Half a month later.
The demon Lu Yuan actively appeared, frantically hunting North Cold Sect disciples, causing a reign of terror in the secret realm.
For a time.
All the disciples were in fear and trepidation, everyone on edge.
Fortunately, the North Cold Sect had been prepared for this long ago.
Upon learning of Lu Yuan's appearance.
The North Cold Sect Elder together with another Divinity Transformation Great Power, promptly utilized the sect's foundation and numerous secret techniques.
At the risk of their primordial spirits being countered by the Heaven and Earth Laws, they successfully allowed a sliver of divine thought to descend into the secret realm.
Even if only for a moment, it was enough to kill Lu Yuan countless times!
"You little bastard, you're indeed not dead!"
The terrifying divine thought of the North Cold Sect Ancestor, vast like rivers and seas, instantly swept through the entire secret realm, firmly locking onto Lu Yuan.
But when he carefully perceived once again, even with his scheming, he couldn't help but feel a chill.
For Lu Yuan was now already at the peak of Core Formation cultivation, just a half-step away from Nascent Soul!
At two, he reached Qi cultivation, at three, Foundation Establishment, at eight, Foundation Establishment Perfection, at eighteen, Golden Core Peak...
This kind of astonishing talent, even the one hailed as the Southern Domain's number one genius, Ye Chen, couldn't compare!
Meanwhile, the North Cold Sect Ancestor also felt a surge of relief in his heart.
Fortunately, he acted decisively, resolutely using the sect's foundation, willing to risk heavily damaging his strength, to forcibly descend into the Cyan Spirit Secret Realm.
Otherwise, with Lu Yuan's terrifying cultivation talent, once he grew up, the consequences would be unimaginable!
