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

Chapter 119 The Metamorphosis of the Remnant Soul, Using Bodhi Liquid

"Senior, how should I use the Soul-Nourishing Wood to make it useful to you?"

Just like Lu Heng was willing to help Lu Qingyan.

He held the same view regarding the remnant soul.

He doesn't say that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude, but repaying kindness is his bottom line.

"You can just put the Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant on it."

With the Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant, I can absorb the medicinal properties of the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul-Nourishing Wood in one go.

But this one time alone will render this priceless, ancient soul-nourishing wood unusable.

"You don't have the ability to cut the ancient Soul-Nourishing Wood right now."

After a moment of silence, the remnant soul still chose to tell the truth.

The remnant soul asked itself: Did it desperately want to be restored?

Actually, I didn't crave it that much.

Waking up to find oneself thousands of years in the future, in an era devoid of familiar faces and things, one would feel an extreme lack of belonging and authenticity.

For the remnant soul, the most curious thing now is just to see how far Lu Heng, a young man who is both a caged bird of the Lu family branch and a dragon in the abyss, can go.

"No problem, please use it, senior."

Anyway, this thing is useless to me.

Lu Heng said without hesitation.

The reason he was reluctant to part with the Bodhi seeds was because he was curious about the possibility of finding an ancient Bodhi tree, and even felt that it was a waste to use them now.

But if necessary, he would not hesitate to use the bodhi seeds.

For example, now that the matter of the ten-thousand-year-old soul-nourishing wood and the remnant soul has been resolved, he plans to use up the Bodhi seeds.

"Don't you think the ten-thousand-year-old Soul-Nourishing Wood is precious? Using it like this, don't you feel bad about wasting it?"

The remnant soul asked curiously.

"Of course it's precious, but I don't mind using it. If it's useful to my seniors, I'll use it."

Perhaps the ancient wood that nourishes the soul will play a role in the future.

But my senior has been a great help to me lately.

Lu Heng answered honestly.

"Can this ancient, soul-nourishing wood restore you, senior?" he then asked in return.

Because of his causal relationship with the Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant, which is equivalent to being bound together with the remnant soul, Lu Heng does not need to worry that the remnant soul might threaten him after it recovers a certain amount of strength.

This is why the Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant can be considered a destiny or opportunity.

There was no cost and no risk involved.

They even had a top expert from the cultivation world by their side to guide them at any time, which was much more useful than any so-called encyclopedia.

Compared to that, Lu Heng seems to have gained more from interacting with the Sword Sect's powerful cultivator who is at the Refinement stage, but he also gained the karma of the Sword Sect.

That was a terrifying, top-tier force that, no matter how dire its circumstances, could easily destroy the entire Lu clan.

This is something that can be considered a major calamity even for such a top-tier power.

It is likely that it can be linked to the powerful figures in the Void Refining Secret Realm.

He shook his head, no longer worrying unnecessarily.

Lu Heng took off the Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant and placed it on the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Soul-Nourishing Wood.

Upon seeing this, the remnant soul spoke with mixed feelings.

"Using the wood that has been nourishing the soul for ten thousand years on me now would actually be a huge waste."

Furthermore, my current remnant soul cannot be restored instantly.

It can slowly nourish itself through the medicinal power of the ten-thousand-year-old Soul-Nourishing Wood.

It's unlikely that I can help you in the short term.

"It's alright," Lu Heng said with a light laugh.

Having said all that, the remnant soul no longer hesitated.

As the Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant lit up, the purple color on the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Soul-Nourishing Wood quickly faded.

Instead, it is a desolate black that is immediately apparent.

In an instant, the entire piece of wood that had been nurturing the soul for ten thousand years turned black.

Lu Heng subconsciously reached out and poked it, and the entire piece of wood turned into black powder.

"I will probably fall into a deep sleep for a while and will not wake up until I have the divine sense of a True Person Refining Spirit."

Young man, remember to be careful in everything you do from now on, and do not be greedy for quick success or act rashly.

If there is a real need, and it is absolutely necessary, I can be awakened directly through the Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant.

With the medicinal effects of the ten-thousand-year-old Soul-Nourishing Wood, I can temporarily unleash a divine soul power comparable to that of a True Immortal of Divine Refinement, which can help you escape your predicament once.

But young man, you shouldn't rely on it too much.

When that moment actually came, I wasn't immediately awakened—

And that concludes everything.

Perhaps because it was about to fall into slumber, the remnant soul became a bit talkative. After giving a few reminders, the Heavenly Demon Jade Pendant remained silent.

For a moment, in the entire vast secret realm trial palace, Lu Heng had no one to communicate with.

Without wasting any more time, Lu Heng took out the white Bodhi seed without hesitation.

The elder of the Sword Sect had also explained how to use Bodhi seeds before he left.

It's very simple: hold it in your hand and touch it with your mind.

Almost instantly, the entire Bodhi seed transformed into a drop of milky white liquid, like a millennia-old stalactite.

This is certainly not the famous Zhongshi Milk, a wondrous item that can help cultivators restore their spiritual power.

It is something called Bodhi Liquid.

Compared to holding a Bodhi seed, entering a hazy state of enlightenment helps one's spiritual practice.

Directly turning Bodhi seeds into Bodhi liquid, even if it increases the possibility of breakthroughs, is a very wasteful act in the long run.

Not to mention that the Bodhi seed in Lu Heng's hand is from an ancient Bodhi tree.

Even a True Monarch of Refining Gods would be envious if he knew.

Of course, it would be a great shame if a True Monarch of Refining Spirits knew that Lu Heng was wasting such a precious resource.

He might even have murderous thoughts.

Gazing at the flawless, warm, and jade-like Bodhi liquid.

Following the same method he used with the Divine Soul Sword, Lu Heng gently pressed it against his brow.

As early as when he was practicing the basic method of refining the spirit, he had already opened up the Niwan Palace ahead of most Qi Refining Secret Realm cultivators.

Unlike cultivators who have truly entered the Qi Refining Realm, his Niwan Palace was completely empty, and he had never been able to condense even a trace of divine consciousness.

At this moment, the Bodhi Liquid touched the space between the eyebrows and flowed straight into the Niwan Palace like a clear spring entering a dried-up marsh.

The once dormant sea of ​​consciousness was suddenly filled with overwhelming spiritual light, and a tremendous upheaval occurred.

The most obvious and rapid change is—

As a cultivator in the Body Refining Secret Realm, Lu Heng actually developed his own divine consciousness directly in his Niwan Palace.

But the miraculous effects of Bodhi seeds from ancient Bodhi trees go far beyond this.

It is not a forced growth that tries to help the seedlings grow faster, but rather a visible transformation that has been quietly taking place from the moment the consciousness was born, under the cleansing and nourishment of the Bodhi liquid.

The initial divine sense was only one mile in radius, but in an instant it expanded to a radius of three miles, which is the peak of the early stage of the Qi Refining Secret Realm.

It then leaped up to the mid-stage peak of a radius of six miles, and finally stabilized at a radius of ten miles, which could only be reached by the peak of the Qi Refining Secret Realm.

Lu Heng was clear-headed; he knew that his cultivation had not truly reached that realm.

However, under the blessing of the Bodhi liquid, his consciousness underwent a qualitative change—

Not only has its scope expanded dramatically, but it has also become as condensed as a substance, as clear as a mirror, revealing every detail and penetrating all directions.

At the same time, his understanding was also reshaped and elevated.

The previously obscure and difficult-to-understand techniques and incantations, as well as the profound and elusive barriers to cultivation, flowed naturally in my sea of ​​consciousness, and I suddenly understood them all.

The most obvious point is—

Lu Heng could clearly sense that he was deducing the subsequent techniques at a faster pace.
