346: 346.
Divine Soul Manifestation 346: 346.
Divine Soul Manifestation After the younger generation respectfully offered their greetings, Li Yuanzhong didn’t dally and directly stated the purpose of his visit:
“The day of the Sword Fight, this old Taoist noticed that Lu Li’s Cultivation was sufficient for ‘Divine Soul Manifestation.’ This is the final barrier of the Soul Ergence Realm, why not break through early?”
Lu Li imdiately clasped his fist in response, “That is exactly what I intend!”
“Good, then you might as well carefully study this old Taoist’s Divine Soul to see if you can glean anything from it.”
Li Yuanzhong did not provide direct instruction but instead allowed Lu Li to attempt it on his own.
To guide him patiently and ticulously was well-intended; anything more formal would have been disrespectful.
Lu Li imdiately stepped forward and reached out to touch the old Taoist’s arm of the Divine Soul, only to have his hand pass right through it.
This was normal, after all, since the Appearance of the Divine Soul seed to be like a group of illusory light and shadow.
But at the sa ti, Lu Li also felt a tingling in his hand, as if he had passed through a current of electricity.
Following that, he wrapped his Spirit around his hand and touched it again.
This ti, he could not pass through, and there was a strong repulsion between the two, which prevented any closeness.
After trying for a while, Lu Li had an epiphany:
“This Appearance of the Divine Soul…
actually has a physical form!”
“Made up of particles, sparse but not re light and shadow, it is a real existence.”
Seeing that he had gained sothing from this, Li Yuanzhong stroked his beard and said, “My young friend, why not give it a try yourself.”
Lu Li was indeed of this mind and imdiately initiated Divine Soul Ergence, and from his brow flew out a blue-white Light Ball.
He then spurred on his Spirit, attempting to shape the Divine Soul Light Ball into a human form.
After a struggle, he barely stretched the Light Ball into a “大” character shape, but as soon as he relaxed, it reverted back to its original state like a balloon.
Lu Li felt sothing was not quite right, not to ntion the shape was too peculiar; he couldn’t possibly keep it this way all the ti, could he?
That would surely be a loss not worth the gain…
At this mont, Li Yuanzhong chuckled and guided him:
“My young friend, have you not ‘seen the Heart and Nature’, seen yourself?
Why force it so unnaturally?”
“To see the Heart and Nature, to see oneself,” that’s precisely what Refining Spirit ditation requires!
“That’s right!
My Divine Soul is my Consciousness; it is ‘’—why should I force it?”
A simple conversation enlightened Lu Li—
The instincts of a flesh and blood life anchored the “self” on the physical body, regarding the body as the fundantal essence of life.
And the Divine Soul was just consciousness removed from the body, an extension of the physique.
If even you don’t think it’s yourself, then the Divine Soul can only be a Light Ball.
Realizing the problem, Lu Li quickly initiated Soul Returning, closed his eyes, and pondered deeply.
The three won listening to the side didn’t dare even to breathe aloud, afraid of disturbing him.
Li Yuanzhong, satisfied, nodded to himself, feeling that this child’s understanding was quite high; he got it with one point.
The Divine Soul Ergence can’t just be the thought process; it must be the complete “self.”
And the complete “self,” besides the thinking personality, also includes the “Subconscious”—this is the key to Divine Soul Manifestation.
Knowing is easy, but doing is difficult, Li Yuanzhong thought.
Even with Lu Li’s high comprehension, it would still take another three to five days of research.
But just as he thought this, he saw Lu Li suddenly open his eyes!
A blue-white glowing human apparition flew out from his brow—his Divine Soul!
It still looked sowhat ethereal, but it was naturally human-shaped, nothing like the strained appearance before.
Li Yuanzhong was imdiately astonished: such rapid progress!
Lu Li didn’t find it particularly difficult.
In his view, whether it be the physical body or the Divine Soul, both were important parts of his life form, and the absence of either would spell doom.
If that’s the case, why struggle over it?
The Divine Soul is “”!
Lu Li was never a complicated person; things like having desires or sleeping in the sa bed, he would speak of directly.
As long as he deed soone an enemy, he would destroy cities without a second thought.
Such candid and decisive nature aligns perfectly with a firm Daoist heart, dedicated and unwavering!
Thus, when Lu Li underwent Soul Ergence this ti, he did so with the “I” belief within his Divine Soul, which consequently gave birth to “Subconscious” within the Divine Soul.
And the “Subconscious” would instinctively sustain the existence of “I” without any deliberate intervention, naturally shaping the light ball of the Divine Soul into a human form.
Moreover, it would further shape “I”.
Facing the gaze of others, Lu Li’s Divine Soul, which barely took a human shape, rapidly manifested hair and fingers.
The skin gradually adjusted to a normal color, and facial features grew out as well.
Within just a few breaths, Lu Li’s Divine Soul beca an exact likeness of himself.
He looked down at himself, even conjured clothes similar to those on his physical body, making his Divine Soul almost indistinguishable from a normal person.
Of course, it was just “almost”.
The Divine Soul’s eyes had no pupils, only two faint glows.
This indicated there were areas that still needed improvent…
but Li Yuanzhong was already agape:
“So, so fast!”
It would take an ordinary cultivator three to five years to reach the progress Lu Li had made, yet he accomplished it in just a few minutes!
This couldn’t be explained by re fortune or luck…
it was purely exceptional talent!
“Indeed, only such talent could subdue the Azure Dragon.”
Li Yuanzhong sighed endlessly.
However, he himself was also a rare Great Grandmaster in the world and obviously knew how vast the gap could be between individuals.
He quickly cald down and said to Lu Li:
“Congratulations, young friend, on your Divine Soul Manifestation!
From now on, you can genuinely fly with your physical body led by the Divine Soul, and perform Divine Soul Sword Control.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Li quickly tried out his most anticipated ability—flying.
The Divine Soul enveloped the whole physical body like Armor, effortlessly lifting it from the ground and moving through the air with ease.
Previously, he relied solely on his Spirit to sustain flight, which was awkward; it was nothing compared to the current effortless and limitless soaring!
However, as class was still in session, Lu Li only shot up a little over a thousand ters before hastily diving back down.
Watching the young man land lightly like a swallow, Li Yuanzhong smiled and said:
“Cultivation is truly fascinating, who knows how many wonders await.
Next~ you need to manifest your eyes, the finishing touch, to achieve Great Perfection of Soul Ergence.”
Lu Li’s two eyes were still just faint glows, the aspect that needed improvent.
Li Yuanzhong suggested:
“You just need to move around more in your Divine Soul form, and you’ll be able to finish the eyes soon.
Now’s a good chance to practice Divine Soul Sword Control.
This is a little insight from this old Taoist.”
Such consecutive guidance indeed saved countless efforts and hardships.
Lu Li quickly bowed with clasped fists, genuinely grateful:
“Many thanks for the True Master’s guidance; I have learned imnsely!”
“No need for courtesy.
To be honest, this old Taoist also has his own selfish reasons.”
Li Yuanzhong said cheerfully:
“When you grow up and the situation in Shen Zhou stabilizes, this old Taoist wishes to try advancing to Manifested Saint.”
Advancing to a higher realm at that level ant death upon failure; the old Taoist dared not take the risk.
Thankfully, there was finally hope with an extraordinary genius on his side.
Lu Li replied formally: “I will do my utmost and not disappoint your expectations!”
Li Yuanzhong nodded with a smile, then looked up at the sky, filled with longing:
“To possess a Manifested Saint Golden Body is to have the qualifications to soar into the vault of heaven.
This old Taoist wishes to visit the stars…
According to the ancient texts, Venus and Mars have relics of ancient Immortals’ abodes, places my heart yearns for~”
Lu Li also looked up briefly, thinking that it wouldn’t be bad to travel around when he had so free ti; he had never taken a vacation before.
But for now, he needed to temper both Spirit Cultivation and Martial Arts to the extre.
That way, once Zhen Yangzi’s Elixirs arrived, he could directly proceed with advancing to Innate and then… Manifesting Saint!
Only by Manifesting Saint could he transform from a chess piece into a chess player!
