#506 - Eighth Generation: Pure Lotus Heart Fire, Refining the Residual Soul!

"What the senior said is very true, but I am a young man with little luck and cannot bear this good fortune."

"It is better for you to wait for time and find someone else who is destined to be with you."

Lu Yuan said with great fear.

For countless geniuses, inheritance of destiny is a rare fortune that can only be encountered by chance.

They gave everything they had, but were not allowed to enter.

But now.

Facing the open gate of Lingxu Palace, Lu Yuan felt his scalp tingling and he wanted to turn around and run away immediately.

Although he didn't know what Master Lingxu was up to.

However, the experience accumulated from many reincarnations told him that Master Lingxu had been deceiving the world and secretly planning for many years.

Now they want to trick him into entering Lingxu Palace, which is definitely not a good thing.

If he really listened to Master Lingxu's words, it would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's den, seeking his own death!

"What a clever little rascal you are! I have been trying my best to teach you everything I know, but I didn't expect you to be so ungrateful."

"In that case, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

Seeing Lu Yuan's repeated refusal, Master Lingxu finally tore off his mask and stopped hiding anything.

As soon as the words fell.

He stretched out a big hand and grabbed Lu Yuan directly.

And in his palm, countless law runes evolved, like a giant palm covering the sky, imprisoning the void, leaving Lu Yuan with no way to retreat, and he could only stand there unable to move.

"Is this the strength of a Half-Step Void Daoist expert?"

Faced with this devastating palm, Lu Yuan did not panic. Instead, his mind became clearer than ever before.

Then he seemed to understand something, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to his mind, and he slowly closed his eyes.

"boom!"

Master Lingxu's palm pierced through Lu Yuan's body and slammed heavily on the ground, causing the entire thousand-foot-high mountain to shake as if a major earthquake had occurred.

But wait until the smoke clears.

Master Lingxu widened his eyes and his expression became extremely ugly.

Because after Lu Yuan was hit by a palm, he was completely unharmed and there was no damage on his body!

And this is the mystery of the power of the law of emptiness.

The truth and falsehood all depend on the practitioner's thoughts.

Since Master Lingxu can take advantage of the opportunity of Lu Yuan's understanding of the laws of the Void Dao to condense a trace of the remnant soul again.

Then Lu Yuan can also use this trace of power of the law of emptiness to make his attack ineffective!

"You are indeed not an ordinary person. You can actually comprehend how to use the principles of the Void Dao in such a short time."

According to his original plan, he was going to lure Lu Yuan into Lingxu Palace first. Then he would only need to activate the formation, and suppressing Lu Yuan would be a piece of cake, right?

But who knew that Lu Yuan would be so cunning and would never get close to Lingxu Palace, causing his plan to fail in the process before it could be implemented.

"Let's stop here. Don't bother me any more. With the Law of the Void, you can't do anything to me."

Seeing that Master Lingxu could not hurt him, Lu Yuan felt relieved that the heavy burden in his heart had finally fallen to the ground.

At the same time, he felt a little relieved.

Master Lingxu was meticulous and had been planning for thousands of years, so the entire plan was flawless.

Even though Lu Yuan had experience in reincarnation for many lifetimes, he almost capsized in the ditch.

Fortunately, he remained cautious at all times and did not believe Master Lingxu's one-sided words. Otherwise, once he stepped into Lingxu Palace, he would be unable to live or die.

"My friend, you are joking. Haven't you heard that there are no permanent enemies in the world, only eternal interests?"

"Since you already know the secrets of Lingxu Palace, how about cooperating with me?"

"You just need to help me recover my body, and I will accept you as my disciple and teach you all my skills."

Master Lingxu knew that he couldn't control Lu Yuan, so he tried to persuade him kindly.

"No need, you should leave it to the next destined person."

Lu Yuan didn't believe a single word that Master Lingxu said.

Without any hesitation, he immediately turned around and walked down the mountain.

However, when he saw Lu Yuan's actions, Master Lingxu immediately became anxious.

Although he successfully lived again, he is now just a remnant soul. If Lu Yuan makes the truth about Lingxu Cave Mansion public, it will surely attract the attention of other powerful Void Dao masters.

By then, in front of other powerful people, Master Lingxu will be nothing more than a fish on a chopping board, and can only be bullied by others!

"My friend, if you leave a way out for others, it can be considered as making a good relationship. Do you really want to make this impossible?"

Master Lingxu said angrily.

"Good fate? When you attacked with all your strength just now, did you ever think of letting me go?"

Lu Yuan's face showed a cold expression and he scolded him rudely.

Hearing these words, Master Lingxu gritted his teeth in anger. He felt anxious and angry, and wished he could slap the young man in front of him to death with one palm.

Lu Yuan's figure was about to leave his sight like a ghost.

Master Lingxu gritted his teeth and no longer cared about anything else. He immediately turned into a stream of light and chased after him in an instant.

If he let Lu Yuan leave, what would be waiting for him would definitely be endless torture and interrogation.

Since we are going to die anyway, we might as well fight for a chance of survival!

In an instant.

The remaining soul of Master Lingxu burst out with unprecedented light, and instantly turned into a raging wave, attacking Lu Yuan's mind.

He was extremely fast and caught up with Lu Yuan in an instant. He immediately entered the Soul Palace and was about to take over Lu Yuan's soul.

Birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of nature, and no one can be exempt from them.

If you rashly take over someone else's body, you will often easily suffer backlash and lose your soul if you are not careful.

But Master Lingxu had no other options left and could only try his best and make one last desperate attempt.

But as soon as he entered Lu Yuan's Soul Palace, he immediately regretted it.

Because he was shocked to find that Lu Yuan's soul palace was extremely solid, like an unbreakable city, and extremely difficult to break through.

Moreover, Lu Yuan's spiritual power is so powerful that it is unbelievable. He simply cannot control it at will!

"Damn it! How did this boy cultivate? It's ok to have extraordinary talent, but why is his soul so powerful?"

Master Lingxu complained bitterly, his heart filled with regret and despair.

But the matter of taking over another's body is a radical move and does not allow for any hesitation or retreat.

It has come to this.

He no longer had any way out and could only bite the bullet and mobilize his spiritual power, intending to forcibly take over Lu Yuan's body!

"A mere remnant soul wants to take over my body?"

Lu Yuan's eyes turned cold, and he instantly activated the "Pure Lotus Heart Sutra" and "Sword Art of Self-Severing", pouring all his spiritual power into the sword that could sever gods.

“Buzz!”

The God-Slaying Sword was revived to its fullest extent, bursting out with an incomparable brilliance that made people dare not look directly at it.

The sword energy was so powerful that it seemed able to cut the heaven and earth in half!

You should know that the two skills, "Sword Art of Cutting Oneself" and "Pure Lotus Heart Sutra", are both supreme methods of soul refining, and have extremely significant effects on tempering the soul.

Although Lu Yuan had only reached the sixth level of Nirvana, after he comprehended a trace of the laws of the Void Dao, his soul had been tempered and was far more powerful than cultivators of the same level, and was not weaker even than the mighty ones with the destiny.

Not to mention.

The God-Slaying Sword was the supreme killing technique that he awakened to after entering the Nirvana realm.

This sword can cut the sky above and the earth below.

All living things in the nine heavens and ten earths can be destroyed with one sword!

On the other hand, Master Lingxu is just a remnant soul. Now he has given up the advantage of being at home and actively entered Lu Yuan's Soul Palace. This move is undoubtedly walking into a trap!

"go!"

Lu Yuan's mind moved slightly, and the sword that could kill gods immediately crossed over, turning into a white rainbow and slashing down at Master Lingxu's head.

"You little bastard, don't go too far!"

Master Lingxu felt a chill all over his body and scolded in a stern but weak voice.

Immediately following.

He hurriedly made hand gestures and pressed seals, mobilizing his most powerful means.

I saw a ray of white light flying out from his body and suddenly hitting the God-Slaying Sword, causing the sword body to suddenly twist and shake, and instantly become somewhat illusory and transparent, and its power was greatly weakened.

"Is this the power of the Void Dao Law that Master Lingxu comprehended?"

Lu Yuan's expression moved slightly, and he felt a familiar power fluctuation from the aura emitted by the white light.

The law of virtuality has infinite magical uses. It can turn the false into the true, and the true into the false.

The move performed by Master Lingxu can obviously make the enemy's attack become nothingness and unable to cause any harm.

But even so.

The sword that slashed gods still carried an unstoppable momentum and slashed heavily on the surface of Master Lingxu's body.

“Swish!”

The sharp sword light burst out, like a knife cutting butter, and passed through Master Lingxu's body, leaving a long scar.

"Ahhh! How dare you hurt me, you nameless person!"

Master Lingxu immediately let out a shrill scream and cursed desperately using the most vicious language.

Although Lu Yuan's sword did not kill Master Lingxu directly, it left him with serious injuries.

It made its body become increasingly dim and transparent, like a candle in the wind, as if it could be extinguished at any time.

"You are about to die, yet you still dare to be stubborn."

Lu Yuan snorted coldly and activated the Pure Lotus Heart Sutra again.

The three-colored lotus swayed slightly, then suddenly soared into the air, blooming proudly between heaven and earth.

As the lotus leaves swayed, thousands of rays of light shone towards Master Lingxu.

These rays of light may seem brilliant and beautiful, but they actually conceal murderous intent that can imprison the soul and seal off the heaven and earth.

"Damn it! Why do you have the true Zen secrets?"

Master Lingxu's face changed drastically. Knowing how powerful the three-colored light was, he didn't dare to touch it at all. He could only hold on and dodge desperately.

But he was inside Lu Yuan's Soul Palace, like a turtle in a jar. No matter how fast he was, where could he hide?

What's more, Lu Yuan was doing two things at the same time, activating the three-colored lotus and the sword that could kill gods, leaving Master Lingxu with no place to hide.

Not long after.

Master Lingxu was hit by an invisible sword energy, his body became more and more illusory, and his speed slowed down a lot.

The next moment.

He was unable to dodge and was illuminated by a ray of sunlight. He felt like he was petrified and stood there motionless.

Afterwards, all the rays of light in the sky gathered together and formed a three-colored precious lotus that imprisoned Master Lingxu inside, causing him to lose all power to resist and no longer be able to pose any threat to Lu Yuan!

"A Half-Step Void Daoist warrior should not be underestimated. If Master Lingxu had not only a remnant of his soul left, and I possessed two supreme spiritual cultivation techniques, I'm afraid he would have succeeded."

Lu Yuan looked tired and said with lingering fear.

The battle between spirit and soul was extremely dangerous, which was only because his spirit and soul were powerful. Otherwise, if it were any other Nirvana genius, they would be easily possessed by Master Lingxu in the blink of an eye.

“Although this trip to the secret realm is dangerous, it is worth it to be able to capture the remaining soul of Master Lingxu alive.”

Lu Yuan muttered to himself, his eyes somewhat fiery.

A supreme being like Xu Dao Qiang can already establish a sect and become a king, so many cultivators also call him the Holy Lord.

Even though Master Lingxu has only reached the half-step virtual path, he has been practicing for thousands of years and there are probably countless secret manuals of martial arts in his mind.

It can be said that the memories in his soul alone are a priceless treasure.

If Lu Yuan could refine Master Lingxu's soul, he would be able to take all these martial arts secrets for himself.

Then his strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds, and he will be able to reach an unimaginable height in a short period of time!

"Compared to the remnant soul of a Half-Step Void Dao strongman, what is a mere inheritance of destiny?"

Lu Yuan put away the three-colored lotus carefully and couldn't help but smile.

"There is still more than half a month before Lingxu Cave Mansion closes. I can take this opportunity to completely refine Master Lingxu's soul."

Thinking about this.

Lu Yuan immediately sat down on the ground and activated the Pure Lotus Heart Sutra again, slowly refining the three-colored precious lotus.

This precious lotus is formed by the pure power of the soul.

When all its petals were tightly closed together, it looked like a furnace, imprisoning Master Lingxu inside.

What Lu Yuan needs to do is to use the Pure Lotus Heart Fire recorded in the Heart Sutra of Zen to refine the soul of Master Lingxu.

"According to the Heart Sutra of Zen Buddhism, the Pure Lotus Heart Fire can purify all things in the world and remove all distracting thoughts from one's mind. Even a trace of negative emotion can be burned to ashes by the flames."

"The power of the Pure Lotus Heart Fire is terrifying. Only a Zen monk who has successfully condensed the Five-Colored Precious Lotus can control this fire."

Lu Yuan carefully recalled the records in the Pure Lotus Heart Sutra, and after confirming that there was nothing missing, he began to try to condense the Pure Lotus Heart Fire.

The Pure Lotus Heart Sutra he obtained from Qingyun Sect was only a fragment, but it was modified and improved through the talent of [Refining the False into the True].

The "Pure Lotus Heart Sutra" that Lu Yuan is currently practicing is even more profound and mysterious than the orthodox original text of Zen Buddhism.

This technique is divided into three colors, five colors, seven colors, and nine colors according to the attainment of the state of mind.

The more brilliant the color of the precious lotus, the higher the practitioner's state of mind and the more determined his or her Tao determination.

Lu Yuan is now only a three-color lotus. Although it is still far from a five-color lotus, he has many lifetimes of practice experience, which is enough to make up for the gap.

Time flies, and half a month has passed in a flash.

During the past half month, Lu Yuan has been staying on the top of the mountain to practice diligently.

At his level, he can already absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish his own consumption, and it is no problem even if he does not eat or drink for hundreds of years.

As time went by, his comprehension and mastery of the Pure Lotus Heart Sutra became more and more profound.

I saw him deep in the soul palace.

There were clusters of blazing golden flames surrounding the three-colored lotus, filled with astonishingly high temperature.

Burning in golden flames.

Wisps of black smoke floated out from the three-colored lotus and dissipated into the air.

The Pure Lotus Heart Fire can purify all things in the world, and these black smokes are the negative emotions and impurities in Master Lingxu's soul.

When all these impurities are removed, Master Lingxu will lose all his mind and emotions, leaving only his complete memory and soul power! (End of this chapter)
