254: Leichi Original Solution

[The next second, you open your eyes and return to reality.]

[Buzz!]

[Soul Transformation—Success!]

[A majestic aura far surpassing anything before erupted from within you, and your Divine Sense spread like a tide, instantly covering thousands of miles.]

[Then, with a slight shift in your mind, a solid figure leaped out from the Gate of Heaven atop your head—it was your Primordial Spirit Dharma Idol.]

[It looked exactly like you, with gentle Dao Rhythms flowing around its body, and spiritual light faintly visible when its eyes opened and closed.]

[This Primordial Spirit Dharma Idol can not only exist independently of the Physical Body, but also resonate with the Law of the main body, perfectly replicating all Divine Abilities and spells, and doubling its power when wielding a Spirit Treasure, acting like an Incarnation condensed from pure Dao Rhythms.]

[This is precisely the most troublesome aspect of a Spirit Transformation Cultivator—if the Primordial Spirit is not extinguished, the true self does not perish.]

[Even if the Physical Body is destroyed, as long as the Primordial Spirit remains, one can achieve Possession and Rebirth.]

[Therefore, conflicts above Soul Transformation often cease to be simple battles, but rather contests involving the Primordial Spirit, Dao Law, and Karma.]

[Unless one can use absolute strength to grind away their Primordial Spirit as well, or set up a Restriction to prevent their escape, the trouble will be endless.]

[You can even clearly feel the Heavenly and Earthly Laws flowing at its fingertips, a perception that is more than ten times clearer than simple Divine Sense.]

[You finally understand—why only upon reaching the Soul Transformation Realm can one comprehend and control Law Divine Abilities.]

[The Primordial Spirit solidifies, traveling the Great Void—]

[At this point, you have truly stepped through the gate of high-level Cultivators.]

["Below Soul Transformation, all are ants!"]

[Feeling the Laws flowing between heaven and earth obey your every command, you couldn't help but feel emotional.]

[Even though you haven't yet mastered any Law Divine Abilities, the power contained in the mere thread of the Law Power you casually draw upon is far beyond what a Nascent Soul Cultivator can compare to.]

[You suppressed the excitement in your heart and decided not to leave immediately. Instead, you resolved to strike while the iron was hot and focus on comprehending the three great Natal Divine Abilities that can only be controlled in the Spirit Transformation Realm, right here in this Immortal Cave—]

[The first is Teleportation. The mysteries of the Spatial Law flowed in your heart as you pursued the method of Teleportation: "Shrinking the ground into an inch, arriving with a thought."]

[The second is the Law Domain. You attempted to construct a heaven and earth belonging to yourself, and within this Domain, you are the Dominator who controls everything.]

[The third is Dharma Idol Manifestation. This is the signature great Divine Ability of a Spirit Transformation Cultivator. It requires using one's own Primordial Spirit as a guide, resonating with the Heavenly and Earthly Dao Rhythms, and invoking vast Spiritual Energy upon oneself, allowing the Primordial Spirit to manifest, standing tall between heaven and earth.]

[In the Immortal Cave, there is no sense of time; only the Dao Rhythms endure.]

[The tenth year,]

[You ended this seclusion with a bit of confusion.]

[You weren't quite sure what level your comprehension of the Law Power had reached—]

[Now, you could Teleport thousands of miles with just a thought, which was precisely the range covered by your Divine Sense.]

[When the Law Domain was deployed, it similarly covered the thousands of miles reached by your Divine Sense.]

[And the Dharma Idol Manifestation condensed by your Primordial Spirit could reach a height of a Hundred Zhang.]

[You still felt it wasn't enough, but you didn't know—that this was exactly the normal performance for someone newly entering the Spirit Transformation Realm.]

[Without dwelling on it further, you immediately got up, your figure transforming into an aurora that was impossible for the naked eye to track. In less than a moment, you had crossed ten thousand miles and quietly appeared before a mighty city.]

[The towering city walls were built of Azure Profound Stone, with runes faintly visible on them, clearly indicating the presence of a great city-protecting Formation. The two characters "Tianyu" above the city gate subtly exuded a Royal Dao Pressure.]

[This was Tianyu City, the Imperial Capital of the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty.]

[You looked down upon the magnificent city beneath your feet, and a strange illusion arose in your heart—that with just one palm strike, you could shatter this prosperous Imperial Capital into dust.]

[You took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing this dangerous impulse.]

[You suddenly understood Liu Jinfeng a little—when the disparity in strength reaches a certain level, destruction truly becomes the most direct and least thought-provoking choice.]

[You followed the flow of people into the city, and your vision suddenly broadened.]

[The wide bluestone main street could accommodate ten carriages abreast. The street was packed with people, Cultivators and Mortals rubbing shoulders. The sounds of hawking, laughter, and carriages intertwined, forming a vivid and bustling scene of prosperity.]

[You restrained the aura around your body, like a drop of water merging into a river, and strolled through the bustling marketplace.]

[As you walked, your gaze was drawn to a nine-story pavilion. The three gilded characters "Langgan Pavilion" on the plaque made you fall into contemplation.]

["I didn't expect... Langgan Pavilion to be in a remote corner like this."]

[With a slight thought, your Divine Sense quietly probed the pavilion like invisible water ripples.]

[The various Medicinal Pills, Talismans, Magical Artifacts, and Formations displayed within came into full view—they were all low-grade Materials, primarily for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment Cultivators, with only a few items occasionally catching the eye of a Golden Core Cultivator, but even those were unremarkable.]

[Many young Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators stopped before the faintly glittering treasures, conversing in low voices, their tone filled with yearning. Their fingers lightly traced the outline of the Magic Treasures across the Void Realm, yet they ultimately dared not touch the daunting price tags.]

[Watching their green and fervent expressions, you felt momentarily as if you saw your former weak self.]

[A faint wisp of emotion eventually transformed into a gentle smile on your lips.]

[After restraining your smile, you prepared to leave.]

[Just then—]

[A hunched old man walked up to you and blocked your path.]

["Young friend, I have a great Opportunity to bestow upon you. Are you interested?"]

[You quietly spread your Divine Sense, detected that the old man only had Foundation Establishment Cultivation, and immediately became interested, laughing, "Oh? What kind of Opportunity is it?"]

[The old man glanced around furtively, took out a jade bottle from his bosom, and handed it to you: "Young friend, take a look!"]

[You shook your head and smiled, casually glancing inside the jade bottle—]

[Inside the jade bottle, a drop of Original Fluid was like the manifestation of the Origin of Thunder, brilliant as a star, permeated internally by the purest Power of the Great Dao.]

[If you hadn't already achieved the Soul Transformation Breakthrough, this drop of Original Fluid would have looked unremarkable, appearing just like ordinary Spiritual Liquid on the surface.]

[Spiritual Liquid is between Spiritual Qi and Spirit Stones; it is not uncommon, usually used in Alchemy, and is found almost everywhere.]

[After repeated confirmation—it truly contained the Power of the Great Dao of the Thunder element.]

[Firstly, after your Soul Transformation Breakthrough, you were especially sensitive to the Law Power and Power of the Great Dao.]

[Secondly, because you Cultivated the Immortal Slaying Sword Art, you had a natural affinity for this kind of Material.]

[This was exactly the same as the tai bai profound gold and spirit of true fire you knew.]

[You immediately had 80% certainty—this was the Thunder Pond Original Fluid.]

[This was essential Material for refining the immortal slaying sword (Thunder).]

[You immediately composed yourself, looked at the old man, and smiled faintly: "What is this thing? I've never seen it."]

[The old man stroked his beard and revealed a profound, mysterious smile: "Young friend, this item has an extraordinary Origin. This old man obtained it by chance from an Ancient Secret Realm; it is rumored to be left behind by a certain Great Power. Its specific name is no longer verifiable, but we only know that it contains profound mysteries and its value is immeasurable."]
