Chapter 402: 402. Things are not simple.
Fran stared with her piercing blue eyes, pointing at the three-headed, six-ard shadow behind Lu Yao, and exclaid, “How did you manage to form it so quickly!”
“Oh, this?” Lu Yao glanced back casually and said, “I’ve borrowed the power of Divine Manifestation before, so it’s like a walk in the park for .”
Fran’s crystal-clear gaze shifted as she sized up Lu Yao, expressing her surprise, “It’s very dangerous to misuse the power of faith so recklessly, Holy Knight. You should be careful.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control.”
While the two were speaking, Li Pei and Liao Ya also erged from the house.
The large production of estrogen had made their skin rosy and exceptionally tender and smooth, and their hair shinier.
Liao Ya still acted sowhat restrained, like a thief wanting to flee as soon as possible.
Li Pei greeted Fran with composure and then saw the vague shadow above her husband’s head, saying with delight,
“Is my husband starting the Divine Manifestation?”
“Exactly, we’ve just begun,” said Lu Yao as he closed his eyes to focus, and the shadow grew slightly more solid.
It was as if a 3D printer was swiftly printing it out.
Liao Ya stopped running, her bright and spirited eyes full of curiosity, “Junior brother, why is your heart image so small?”
The three-headed, six-ard heart image was only two to three ters tall, far from the towering hundred.
Lu Yao explained, “I’m manifesting the heart image by relying on my own strength, so it’s a bit smaller. However, this will give an extrely solid foundation, allowing to go further in the future. Also, I’m not lacking in willpower, so it can grow instantly after breaking through.”
When Fran heard “not lacking in willpower,” she took a deep look at Lu Yao.
Li Pei and Liao Ya were overjoyed by their husband’s progress, feeling as if they were in a dream.
To marry such a talented and powerful man!
It was known that the status of Spirit Refining Manifest Holiness was equivalent to that of Martial Golden Body, and such characters were among the handful of strong individuals in the world, not just in the Shun Dynasty.
Won often have a bit of vanity, and the more powerful their man, the happier they naturally feel.
But this was also an inspiration.
Liao Ya said with conviction, “We need to push ourselves harder, so we don’t beco a burden!”
Li Pei nodded in agreent, “Let’s go cultivate, aiming to advance to the Innate Realm as soon as possible.”
“After I get that sleepy brat up!” Liao Ya turned and went back into the house to drag her sleepy sister out of bed.
Inside the house, there was a ruckus, but no matter what, Liao Qe wouldn’t wake up.
So, Liao Ya wrapped her sister in a blanket and carried her out, hurrying off towards the training ground.
Liao Qe still slept soundly, her delicate and fair feet swinging out from under the blanket.
Lu Yao reached out to tickle them, and her sister’s toes, like cloves of garlic, curled adorably.
Fran watched this silently, her voice laced with envy, “Your family… seems to be living very happily.”
“Not bad,” Lu Yao said quite content with his ability to maintain harmony in his household, then he asked, “So, Lady Fran, how can I help you reconstruct your physical body? There has to be so direction, right?”
Fran furrowed her brow, and her gem-like eyes darkened,
“This matter has sowhat exceeded my expectations. My original plan was to seek help from a demigod, that is, soone who has undergone ‘Thunder Baptism.’
But I couldn’t sleep last night, so I ended up looking through many books and newspapers, only to find that the world has changed a lot. There are no strong individuals who have gone through ‘Thunder Baptism’ anymore!
Such beings, though rare, should exist in decent numbers across the world, but now they seem to have vanished. It’s very strange.”
The “Thunder Baptism” is to cross the Heavenly Tribulation. Although the cultivation thods of the East and West vastly differ, the supre path is strikingly simple and ultimately leads to the sa destination. The specific realms, however, are quite similar.
“However… I can guess why,” Fran said, glancing at the “sun” that had appeared in the sky:
“With such a greedy entity hanging overhead, ascending to the high skies to undergo the ‘Thunder Baptism’ is like voluntary feeding.”
Lu Yao also gazed at the sky for a brief mont and felt that the other party made a lot of sense.
Zhou He, the old cultivator, had also ntioned that “information related to Heavenly Tribulation is tightly sealed and strictly forbidden to be accessed.”
Even if it’s challenging, it wouldn’t be like this. They must be pushed to this extent only because of so great danger, leaving them with no choice.
“So…” Fran spoke with a touch of lancholy, “I can only stabilize the state of my soul and slowly look for other thods.”
Lu Yao transmitted so Innate True Qi to her, consoling, “There will always be a way. In a while, I will visit a cultivation sect with a long history, hoping to find sothing useful there.”
This was precisely the arrangent made earlier with Zhou He at Mount Wudang.
Fran nodded while comfortably closing her eyes. “Your Life Essence has an indescribably comforting quality. It feels so warm.”
“If it tastes good, eat more of it.”
While responding, Lu Yao mulled over another matter that seed very amiss…
The sneaky little devil He Ren was capable of “Divine Travel” and had even entered the collective subconscious of Blue Star.
Yet “Divine Travel” is an ability that cos after surviving the Heavenly Tribulation!
So the question arises—when no one else can make it through, how did that guy manage it?
This matter isn’t so simple.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the following days, Lu Yao exercised extre caution and diligently engaged in cultivation.
All worldly matters—sches, wealth, and so on—are epheral; even an Emperor could be abandoned overnight.
Only power gained through painstaking cultivation is fundantal!
Moreover, after experiencing the majesty of Divine Manifestation, Lu Yao was more eager than ever to reach that realm again.
With such strength, he could settle down in the Shun Dynasty without having to worry about foreign covetousness.
As ti unknowingly passed, news reached by the end of March that Commander Zuo had decisively crushed the invading Rakshasa army from beyond the borders.
Out of the 150,000-strong army, only a re ten thousand managed to escape. Had it not been for a Rakshasa Duke who ca to their aid, it’s likely the entire army would have been annihilated.
At the sa ti, there was another piece of expected good news—
Jiade confird that Einheit indeed suffered the loss of a Duke and 20,000 troops, brazenly tearing up the verbally agreed ceasefire and, teeth clenched, mustered the strength to send more reinforcents to the front lines. A new battle was about to comnce!
Jiade’s desperate efforts weren’t for a counterattack to achieve sothing on the battlefield, but rather to push for peace through war, seeking a more relaxed and dignified real ceasefire.
At this mont, Lu Yao was smiling as he read the news in the newspaper.
“Good, that’s how it should be. The more blood they shed, the greater the losses, the better.”
At this point, above his head, a shadow that even ordinary people could see had appeared.
Three heads and six arms, about 5 ters tall, but only up to the waist, halfway materialized.
This was the spiritual essence that Lu Yao manifested through his own power, and the process solidified his foundation.
For the remaining half, however, Lu Yao had his own ideas.
“The other half, I must go back to Blue Star to consolidate. Manifesting the spiritual essence is also a process of understanding and perceiving the world, and my understanding of Blue Star is still insufficient.”
