Soul to Spirit
As the totem patterns merged with the soul, a loud boom blasted inside Zhong Yue's mind. It sounded as if there were gods chanting unspeakable words, as if livings were worshipping and the nature playing a melodious song. The sounds have shuddered his soul, his spirit, and his mortal body.0
His Fuxi Yuan Shen stood behind him, totem patterns weaved around it as it was siphoning the energy from the sources like an unfilled hole!
Long Yue and Bo Xun's Nine Revolving Inner Core dimmed in rays, and their cultivation base has started reducing. Not only that, his Fuxi Yuan Shen was also siphoning the essences in Zhong Yue's inner core and the medicinal efficacies of the dozens of divine herbs!
Even Zhong Yue's Nine Revolving Inner Core was also dimming down in rays!
The over dozens of divine herbs were struggling as well. They could feel their medicinal efficacies being sucked away by Zhong Yue's Fuxi Yuan Shen at a great rate!
Not only that, even Yu Wenju's Yuan Shen secret realm was also collapsing as the essences in it were siphoned away by the Fuxi Yuan Shen!
While Yu Wenju's inner core was no exception as well, it was withering at an even greater rate!
Zhong Yue could also feel his mortal body being sucked dry of essences and his body was minimum in energy, barely allowing him to live.
It was true that he has succeed this time, but the rate of energy siphoning from his Fuxi Yuan Shen was too immense. If this was to go on much longer, even he couldn't have done much anymore!
Never would the other Qi Practitioners ever needed so much energy to cultivate into the True Spirit level. They would usually be able to just pull through it with the help of any high-grade medicinal herbs. And if they have the divine herbs helping them, the energy they require would be bare minimum.
Yet, with over dozens of divine herbs and in addition Zhong Yue's two incarnations, he was only barely sustaining now!
Thankfully, it didn't last too long. The rate of energy siphoning of Zhong Yue's Fuxi Yuan Shen has slowly dropped. At that instant, Zhong Yue including the other divine herbs have heaved a breath of relief.
"I am so going to eat a huge pile of soils when I get back, I need to recover from this…", Cusia said in a quivering voice.
Soon after, Zhong Yue's Fuxi Yuan Shen has stopped sucking any energy. The soul composition in his Yuan Shen has been cultivated into the True Spirit. His Yuan Shen was now over ten thousand feet tall with huge Yuan Shen secret realms.
Back in the days, Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen could only reach the height of ten thousand feet when he has utilized the force of heaven and earth. While if he has merged his mortal body with the Yuan Shen again, then he would be smaller as he has to maintain the strength and durability of the mortal body.
But even that has made him extraordinary in the Heavenly Dharma level.
There were only a few Heavenly Dharma Qi Practitioners that could have done that. Even in the Kun Lun Realm, only the Kua Fu Celestial Race and a few other talents could have achieved that.
While now, his True Spirit alone was already ten thousand feet tall, without even utilizing the force of heaven and earth!
Furthermore, this was only just the start.
There were a sun and moon that revolves on the back of his Fuxi Yuan Shen, and also the Yin and Yang that moved accordingly in the Tai Chi pattern.
His True Spirit was stepping on the Tai Chi pattern formed by the Yin and Yang, celestial and demon arcane energies.
His True Spirit was the Fuxi True Spirit, it can separate the Yin and Yang, divides the celestial and demon and also fully combine them all together. On the surface of his True Spirit, there were vaguely some marvelous totem patterns that were engraved on it. These were the Fuxi totem patterns Zhong Yue has carved in his True Spirit with his Fuxi godly blood.
His mortal body has yet to be fully awakened, he still doesn't have the dragon scales, snake tail and divine bones. However, his True Spirit has them all, the dragon scales, snake tail, three divine eyes, the divine bones and divine heart. It looked exactly the same as the true Fuxi.
"This brat, he really made it…", Xin Huo's eyes were filled in shock, he was in utter disbelief that Zhong Yue has really cultivated the soul into True Spirit!
In the eons of time, there were indeed livings that thought of cultivating the soul into True Spirit. But they have all eventually gave up as there was really no such needs. After all, the Fuxi Clan was already the supreme clan in the universe, there were many strong experts and great figures among them. There was simply just no need for them to take the hard route.
Most of the resources in the universe were in their hands and they could just manifest the spirit of the Heavenly Monarchs. As the manifested spirits were from the Heavenly Monarchs, they would be able to progress much faster than manifesting and cultivating their own spirits.
While in the passage of time, the Fuxi has waned to a point that there weren't anymore Fuxi that could be seen around. Including Zhong Yue himself, he has only met with one and a half Fuxi left in this universe. That being said, there simply wasn't anywhere Zhong Yue could find and manifest the Fuxi spirit. Eventually pushing him to pursue the long and hard route, an unprecedented path where he could only walk on his own. And he succeed.
"But it's still not as strong as the Heavenly Monarch's spirit, much more weaker.", Xin Huo shook his head and lamented.
As of now, Zhong Yue could feel his cultivation base increasing at an incredible rate. In just the time of a few breath, his cultivation base has increased a hundred percent already and was still increasing!
Moments later, the increasing rate of his cultivation base has slowed down and his cultivation base was already three times stronger than before!
"Amazing, how amazing! I never knew cultivating the soul into True Spirit can enhance one's cultivation base for so much!", Zhong Yue praised and asked later, "Xin Huo, my cultivation base has increased so much, but it's still not as strong as the Heavenly Monarchs' spirit?"
"A great distance apart exists between you and them.", Xin Huo shook his head and answered, "The Heavenly Monarchs of the Fuxi Clan, they are the Earthly Sovereigns and just imagine, how strong would their imperial spirits are? If one had manifested their spirits and has cultivated through the True Spirit level, their prowess would be enhanced ten times stronger than before, at the least! The other Fuxi peers of yours, the little girl call Si Ming, the spirit she has manifested is exactly a Fuxi Heavenly Monarch's spirit. When in the same level of True Spirit, she can turn you into ashes in just the wave of a hand."
"Si Ming's spirit is the imperial spirit?", Zhong Yue startled, he asked curiously, "If the Fuxi Clan is left with only the two of us, where did she get to manifest the imperial spirit?"
Xin Huo thought, "How true, where did this little girl get the imperial spirit? What was even more strange was that if the heritage of the Fuxi Clan is wiped away, how does she know about me?"
Si Ming was able to identify Xin Huo in the first eye and also the Shao Hao Bell. If the heritage of the Fuxi Clan was wiped away, she wouldn't be able to know all of these at all!
Zhong Yue cracked his head and still couldn't get anything. Si Ming was a mysterious lady. Now thinking back on it, she might even have more secrets than Zhong Yue!
"However Xin Huo, you said that Si Ming can kill me in just the wave of a hand in the same level, that might be true now but not in the future.", Zhong Yue said confidently while laughing, "I have just cultivated my True Spirit, there are still many flaws in it. The 'Yi' word given by Monarch Haoyi can help me in progressively perfecting my Tue Spirit. One day in the future, my True Spirit will be as strong as hers!"
Xin Huo criticized back in a cold smile, "When you have cultivated to that stage, how long would that have been already? You are like going uphill against the flow of water, wasting your time and energy."
"The fishes that goes against the flow of water, are those that would be stronger than the others!", Zhong Yue laughed in reply.
Then, he started checking on his Nine Revolving Inner Core and his lifespan. Zhong Yue was overjoyed when he found himself now enjoying a lifespan of over six thousand years. If there were no major accidents in his life, he would be able to live longer than Shui Zian!
Not only that, he could also feel the energy from the worshippings seeping into his body and then flowing into his True Spirit. This would have allow his cultivation base to grow stronger on its own!
The power of worshipping was only embraceable by the cultivators of True Spirit level and above. If there were enough worshippers, one could even protect his True Spirit from dying even after his death. Provided that the enemy wasn't strong enough to destroy the True Spirit on the spot or had special means to could kill all of the worshippers.
Zhong Yue have quite an amount of worshippers, about a few hundred thousands. These worshippers included those in the Gu Xia City that worships Long Yue, those in the demon race that worships Bo Xun and those humans that were saved by Zhong Yue in the Great Wilderness. These few hundred thousand worshippers were quite a huge amount of force!
What's more importantly, with the worshippings that keeps his True Spirit alive and the Immortal Body that he cultivates, he was able to achieve revival under certain conditions!
Just like those imprisoned existences inside of Swords Gate Seal Suppression Hall. Some of them were simply unkillable, exactly because they have similar means that could keep them alive!
However, those undying cultivators were all the Imminent Deity magnates. While Zhong Yue was just in the level of True Spirit and has achieved what they had!
Kui Zheng of the Kui Long Celestial Race is unkillable and was imprisoned until the last day of his life, he died of age. Xia Wushuang of the South Barren is also the same, couldn't be killed, only imprisoned so to let him die naturally of age. While I now, am the same as them!
Zhong Yue laughed and said, "But I have six thousand years of age, it wouldn't be easy to try and let me die of age. Oh, Xin Huo, I have cultivated my soul into the True Spirit, doesn't that mean as long as my spirit is still here, I can live eternally?"
His eyes brightened up, in addition to him cultivating the Six Paths Wheel that made his mortal body and spirit shares the same lifespan, he would literally be able to live forever.
"Useless.", Xin Huo shook his head and answered, "Your spirit has a limit on its lifespan, it can never be able to last eternally. The Earth Order Era's Heavenly Monarchs have two hundred thousand years of life to live, while the Heavenly Monarchs can live for one million two hundred years of age. Which means, the longest you can go is only as far as the Heavenly Monarchs. When the time comes, your mortal body will rot on itself and you can only enter the Void World with your spirit. Only when someone has worshipped and summoned you, can you come out to the world again. Furthermore…"
The little flame raised his voice and said, "You might not even be able to cultivate to the Heavenly Monarch stage!"
Zhong Yue was speechless. Xin Huo was most probably stimulated by the fact that Zhong Yue has really done what he thought impossible. That's why he has been criticizing and pouring cold water on Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue walked out of Yu Wenju's Yuan Shen secret realm and sent the divine herbs back to their gardens. Long Yue and Bo Xun have also flew away.
Rays flashed across Zhong Yue's eyes and he looked up into the sky while mumbling softly. "If there are any insect gods mother gods that have survived the crash, they should be near to the Ancestral Star by now already. If they have arrived in the Ancestral Star, the first thing they would do would be retrieving the insect divine weapons back from Swords Gate. Even more, they might control the divine weapons from far and slaughter inside our Swords Gate. It's time to wipe off their marks inside the divine weapons already!
"Back in the days, I am not strong enough to do that. But after acquiring the scale mirror and the breakthrough to the True Spirit level, I might just be able t do it!"
