Chapter 131 Testing Divine Arts, Flesh and Blood

[After setting the temporary time anchor, you were in no hurry to leave the deep mountain cold pool.]

[The first thing you needed to do was test your divine arts.]

[You needed to confirm that at this current point in time, in the real world away from the special environment of the Xuan Shui Cave Heaven...]

[...whether using the divine arts from the Cave Heaven would cause any unnecessary trouble.]

[Only if no unexpected problems occurred would you begin your plan.]

[You sat cross-legged on the open ground outside the tent, holding your breath and concentrating.]

[Directly utilizing the majestic Canglan Divine Soul power within your Sea of Consciousness, you precisely controlled the Xuan Shui Spiritual Rhyme in your body.]

[You cast the divine art you used most frequently in the Cave Heaven to recover physical strength and status—the Cangming Spirit Healing Art.]

[Hum—!]

[It did not trigger any celestial phenomena, nor did it attract any unknown prying eyes.]

[In an instant, the divine art model you constructed in your mind manifested its effects perfectly.]

[You successfully bridged the spatial divide.]

[You called upon the authority of the 'Han Ming' trapped within the Cave Heaven.]

[A layer of sacred azure divine light rose upon your body, flowing like water ripples.]

[Under the washing of this divine light, the slight fatigue caused by your late-night travels was instantly swept away.]

[Your physical and mental state was rapidly adjusted to its perfect Peak.]

[Carefully feeling the abundant vitality within your body, you secretly estimated.]

["The effect is indeed not quite the same as it was in the Cave Heaven."]

["But at a conservative estimate, it still has about ninety percent of its effect."]

["This has already far exceeded expectations."]

["As expected of a product of the Cave Heaven, a great expert's Legacy."]

["Even when freeloading across worlds, the effect is still domineering."]

[You nodded with satisfaction.]

[Having confirmed the safety and utility of the divine art...]

[...you did not stop there, but immediately began the next step of your plan.]

[Turning around, you unzipped the tactical backpack beside you.]

[From it, you pulled out four pieces of fresh pork you had just bought from the wet market this morning and arranged them neatly on the ground.]

[Then, you took out a large sheet of specially made Xuan paper and spread it out in front of the flesh.]

[You bit your fingertip and gathered pure Xuan Shui Spiritual Rhyme in your hand.]

[With focused concentration, you began to draw an extremely complex ritual array on the Xuan paper.]

[After about twenty minutes, you finally let out a long breath and stopped your movements.]

[Looking at the ritual array on the Xuan paper that was emitting a faint blue light, you suddenly formed hand seals before your chest.]

[In this moment, you actually performed multiple tasks at once.]

[Simultaneously, you cast Profound Water Ten Thousand Transformations · Rootless, Profound Water Ten Thousand Transformations · Profound Water Spiritual Body, Mist Concealment · Formless...]

[...and a whole series of extremely obscure and complex secret techniques.]

[With the intense consumption of Divine Soul power, a sudden ripple of water appeared between your hands.]

[Four palm-sized, translucent water-blue spirits slowly condensed into form in the Void Realm.]

[However, their forms appeared somewhat unstable.]

[Their edges were trembling slightly, as if they might dissipate into the air at any moment.]

["Pure energy bodies are indeed difficult to sustain."]

[Your gaze narrowed, and you immediately placed the four pieces of fresh pork onto the four array nodes of the Xuan paper ritual array.]

["Fuse!"]

[You activated the ritual array and began to chant an ancient incantation.]

[The blue light on the array suddenly flared brightly!]

[Under the stimulation of the divine art, the four pieces of pork began to undergo a bizarre mutation.]

[The meat squirmed frantically, growing fine, long filaments of flesh.]

[Relying on your powerful Divine Soul, you controlled the four somewhat illusory Water Spirits.]

[Following the pull of the meat filaments, they fused perfectly with the four pieces of distorted flesh.]

[The original pork disappeared, replaced by four strange creatures with a tangible sense of touch.]

["The shells are complete, but they still lack Spiritual Qi."]

[Your eyes turned sharp as you slammed your palms together.]

[You continued to chant even more profound and complex incantations.]

[You began to fully exert the God-Governing Method to borrow the high-level authority of the Han Ming.]

[To complete the most critical step of this secret technique—Enlightenment, bringing flesh and blood to life!]

[This secret technique, which bordered on 'creation,' was something you had researched in the Xuan Shui Cave Heaven during your last simulation.]

[At that time, when you asked the Han Ming for this divine art model, the high-sounding reason you gave was:]

["To provide healing methods for the cult members exploring deep waters and to add a certain amount of lethality."]

[But in reality, after its successful development...]

[...you only equipped ten old men in the cult who were about to die with these things to keep up appearances.]

[The younger generation of the cult had never even touched them.]

[Because from beginning to end, this was a 'spy tool' you had secretly developed for other purposes!]

[As the high-level authority descended, the four spirits—combinations of rootless water and flesh—shuddered violently.]

[Their hollow eyes instantly gained a lively brilliance.]

[They had truly come to life!]

[Not only could they freely transition between physical and ethereal states...]

[...they also possessed the strange ability to reside within the Sea of Consciousness of others.]

[Looking at these four little fellows, your face had already turned extremely pale.]

[But you did not stop; instead, you began the final modifications.]

[You divided your Divine Thought into four, probing into the depths of the four Water Spirits' consciousness.]

[You set distinct personality modules for each of them.]

[And you packaged a massive amount of complex intelligence regarding the Heart-Eroding Cult and the crisis in Longnan City.]

[You deeply implanted this into their underlying logic.]

[Then, you began to frantically squeeze your Divine Soul, using divine arts to perform extreme modifications on them.]

[You completely discarded the attack and healing abilities designed for these spirits back in the Cave Heaven.]

[You put all the attribute points into 'Concealment.']

[You pushed the stealth of these Water Spirits to an absolute maximum level.]

[You lowered their presence to a point where they were less noticeable than a speck of dust.]

[At the same time, you raised their mental attributes and anti-detection capabilities to the limit, regardless of the cost!]

[It wasn't until you had consumed more than half of the Divine Soul power in your body that you finally stopped, panting for breath.]

["Whew... Go."]

[You wiped the cold sweat from your forehead and gave a large wave of your hand toward the air.]

[Three of the Water Spirits circled in the air once.]

[A hint of reluctance to leave their master actually flickered in their eyes.]

[But they soon obeyed the underlying commands and flickered.]

[Turning into three transparent ripples that neither the naked eye nor Divine Thought could detect, they vanished into the vast night.]

[To seek out their respective targets.]

[The last one remaining nuzzled your cheek affectionately.]

[Then, it turned into a streak of light, dove into the depths of your own Sea of Consciousness, and quietly went dormant.]

[Looking in the direction where the three spirits had disappeared, you picked up that glass of iced Happy Water again and drained it in one gulp.]

[The chess pieces have been placed.]
