You promised yourself to be a caged bird, but you became the supreme young master?

Chapter 118 Changyun Sword Sect, Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Soul-Nourishing Wood

"The Bodhi seeds of the legendary ancient Bodhi tree."

"Isn't this a bit too wasteful?" Even Lu Heng couldn't help but ask.

The mere possibility of finding an ancient Bodhi tree is enough to make the Bodhi seeds from that tree priceless.

It is said that, according to legend, meditating under the Bodhi tree is enough to lead one to enlightenment.

What is enlightenment? If one hears the Way in the morning, one can die content in the evening!

Once one hears the Dao, even one's chickens and dogs ascend to immortality!

Although the description is somewhat exaggerated, in the myths and biographies of this world, enlightenment under the Bodhi tree is enough for a True Monarch of Refining Spirit to take the final step and achieve what would be called the Void Refining Secret Realm of gods in the Western Continent.

Even the Buddha, a figure comparable to a saint in Buddhism, is most famous for the fact that under the Bodhi tree, he smiled as he held up a flower and realized his own path.

Finally, he attained Buddhahood.

Even setting aside that vague possibility, the Bodhi seeds of the ancient Bodhi tree alone would probably be of great help in breaking through to the True Monarch of Refining Spirit.

It is enough to drive ordinary cultivators of the Divine Refinement Realm mad, to the point of giving up everything.

Even if it were used on himself, Lu Heng still subconsciously felt it was a bit of a waste.

"How could it be a waste? Young friend, you must remember that as a cultivator, you should not hesitate to do anything that is helpful to your path of cultivation."

You have broken the precept against greed.

You can do it now, but are you confident you can break through the limit within three days?

You should know that the sword seed will be far more helpful to you in the future than a mere Bodhi seed.

The elder from the Sword Sect solemnly reminded him.

Lu Heng hesitated. The reason why his cultivation technique and swordsmanship were able to break through the limits ahead of schedule was because...

The difference lies in the fact that both possess the basic methods, and the subsequent Qi refining method, "Void Qi Refining Method," itself serves as a bridge between the past and the future in the Body Refining Secret Realm.

Therefore, by using a clever trick, both of them achieved the breakthrough.

However, the basic method of refining the spirit is completely different. The Refining Spirit Mystic Realm itself, as the third secret realm, is very different from the first two secret realms, and there is a reason for this.

With the "Void Refining Qi Method," but without the second-tier Spirit Refining Method, Lu Heng was not able to break through the limits of the Spirit Refining Method.

"Senior, do you have a second-tier method for refining the spirit?" Lu Heng finally couldn't help but ask.

"Why are you asking this?" the old man from the Sword Sect asked curiously.

"If such a method exists, it would be of paramount importance in helping my divine magic break through its limits," Lu Heng replied solemnly.

"It existed before, but it doesn't exist now. In order to allow my spiritual body to exist for thousands of years, my physical body only retained the most important memories."

Apart from this, any factors that could affect the continuation of the spirit were removed by the body. The old man from the Sword Sect realized the importance of the matter.

After recalling the events, he said regretfully.

Indecisiveness leads to disaster.

Since that's the case, Lu Heng didn't hesitate any longer and was just about to speak.

"Young friend, use Bodhi seeds," the elder from the Sword Sect said first.

"Thank you, senior," Lu Heng said earnestly.

At the same time, he remembered something else.

Since the secret realm in Qinghe City was set up by the elder of the Sword Sect, and the elder also asked me to help the Sword Sect avert a great calamity in the future.

Clearly, his initial assumption that the Sword Sect had perished was wrong.

So if that's the case, where is the Sword Sect now? And what was the Sword Sect called again?

Lu Heng was completely unaware of this.

Any sect that uses swords can call itself the Sword Sect.

It's impossible to choose to help every sword sect member you encounter.

Not intending to betray those who helped him, and instead choosing to accept the consequences, he simply asked.

"Thanks to my breakthrough back then, the entire Tianyun Sword Sect has moved to Dongzhou." The old man of the Sword Sect stroked his beard with satisfaction.

Even if Lu Heng hadn't asked, he would have chosen to tell him in the end.

But the same thing, he brought it up and asked Lu Heng about it.

These are two completely different attitudes.

"Once the Bodhi seed is separated, my spiritual body will dissipate directly. Young friend, the method of refining the sword seed is very simple."

With focused understanding, one can comprehend that above the peerless being who has broken through the limits of the Three Laws and has the potential to become a saint, no innate treasure can refuse.

After speaking, the old man from the Sword Sect calmly recalled his life, offering Lu Heng some hints and insights.

"My life is both full of regrets and without regrets."

His biggest regret was that, for the sake of the sect, he dared not waste his time to break through the limits of the Refining Spirit Technique, and in the end, he stopped at the level of Peerless.

I have no regrets because of my existence. Sword Sect has reached new heights, which can be considered as not having failed the nurturing grace of Sword Sect.

Okay, that's all for now.

I should go back now.

"My name is Xu Changyun, and I have no regrets about coming to this world." After saying this, the old man from the Sword Sect laughed and calmly took one last look at the secret realm.

His figure vanished without a sound.

"Respectfully seeing off the senior."

Lu Heng lowered his head slightly, feeling a faint sadness in his heart. This senior, whom he had only known for a short time but who had helped him a great deal.

Even though it was only for a short time, and he had only just learned the name of the elder from the Sword Sect, the other party was already considered an elder to him.

Since coming to this world, apart from the Second Steward whom he had never met, only the other person had given him this feeling.

The reason why the Second Deacon was regarded as an elder by him was because the other party was Lu Qingyan's biological grandfather.

In his mind, Lu Guhong could only be considered a good elder, not a respected elder.

"Young man, hurry up and break through!"

The trials in the secret realm haven't disappeared; your prolonged occupation of the trial might arouse suspicion.

Not long after, the remnant soul gave Lu Heng a timely reminder.

"I know," Lu Heng replied.

Stepping forward, at the spot where the old man from the Sword Sect had disappeared, there was a Bodhi seed and a piece of purple wood that emitted a faint fragrance, making one feel refreshed and clear-headed.

The appearance of a Bodhi seed is that of a round and smooth white bead.

Without direct contact, merely seeing it without knowing its significance, Lu Heng would probably have mistaken it for an ordinary bead.

The white Bodhi seeds are completely concealed, showing no spirituality whatsoever.

He reached out and picked up the bodhi seeds and the purple wood.

"Senior, how should I use the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Nourishing Wood? Is it effective for you?"

"There's no rush to use the Bodhi seeds," Lu Heng inquired.

He hadn't forgotten that the old man from the Sword Sect had seen through the remnant soul within the Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant at a glance.

Even if the opponent is a Void Refinement expert, in the end only a spiritual body remains.

Under normal circumstances, cultivators in the Refining Mystic Realm would likely have a certain chance of discovering remnant souls.

In that case, we must avoid this possibility.

Coincidentally, Lu Heng happened to obtain a ten-thousand-year-old Soul-Nourishing Wood.

He would naturally not be stingy with the remnant soul that had helped him many times.

Even if the other party's agreement with me is that I will only need to help find the soul-nourishing item after the transaction is completed.

All the help before was, in essence, a selfless act of kindness from the remnant soul.

But that's not how things are calculated.
