Chapter 956: Chapter 505: Eighth Life: Purifying Lotus Heart Fire, Refining the Remnant Soul! (Part 2)

Birth, aging, illness, and death are the natural laws to which no one is an exception.

If one rashly attempts to possess another’s soul, a backlash is often imminent, and any slight mistake could lead to the oblivion of one’s soul.

However, Master Lingxu had no way out and could only make a last desperate attempt, taking his chances with a dying horse.

But just as he entered Lu Yuan’s soul palace, he immediately regretted it.

For he was horrified to discover that Lu Yuan’s soul palace was extraordinarily solid, like an impregnable fortress, very difficult to break through.

Moreover, Lu Yuan’s power of the divine soul was incredibly formidable, far beyond what he could manipulate at will!

"Damn it! How on earth did this kid cultivate? Having surpassing talent is one thing, but why is his divine soul so powerful too?"

Master Lingxu lamented endlessly, his heart filled with regret and despair.

Yet the act of soul possession is a risky one, leaving no room for hesitation or retreat.

This was the point of no return.

He had no other way but to muster up the power of the divine soul, planning to forcibly possess Lu Yuan!

"A mere wisp of a remnant soul, and you wish to possess me?"

Lu Yuan’s gaze turned cold; he instantly activated the "Pure Lotus Heart Scripture" and "Self-Cutting Sword Dao," infusing all his divine soul power into the Godslaying Sword.

"Buzz!"

The Godslaying Sword underwent an overwhelming revival, erupting into a splendorous radiance, so dazzling that no one dared to look directly at it.

As the sword qi crisscrossed, it seemed capable of slicing the heavens and earth in two!

One must understand that both the "Self-Cutting Sword Dao" and the "Pure Lotus Heart Scripture" are supreme techniques for soul refining, significantly effective for tempering the divine soul.

Although Lu Yuan was only at the Sixth-Layer Nirvana cultivation, after comprehending a thread of void dao laws, his divine soul had been tempered and refined countless times, far surpassing contemporaneous cultivators, not even inferior to a Celestial Destiny Great Power.

Not to mention.

The Godslaying Sword was an ultimate slaughtering technique awakened after he attained the Nirvana realm.

This sword could slay the heavens above and the earth below.

The myriad creatures across nine heavens and ten lands, all could be annihilated with a single slash!

In contrast, Master Lingxu was merely a remnant soul, and by abandoning his home ground advantage now and willingly entering Lu Yuan’s soul palace, it was undoubtedly akin to walking into a trap!

"Go!"

With a slight movement of his mind, Lu Yuan sent the Godslaying Sword across, transforming it into a dazzling white rainbow, slashing down towards Master Lingxu.

"Impudent child, do not bully me too much!"

Master Lingxu, chilled to the bones, reprimanded dangerously, albeit with a lacking conviction.

Then.

He hastily formed a seal, harnessing his most powerful technique.

Suddenly, a white light shot out from his body, striking the Godslaying Sword, causing the sword to twist and shimmer, becoming somewhat illusory and transparent, its power significantly reduced.

"Is this the power of the void dao laws understood by Master Lingxu?"

Lu Yuan’s expression shifted slightly, sensing a familiar wave of power emanating from the white light.

The void dao laws are marvelously versatile, able to turn the false into the real, and the real into the false.

The move used by Master Lingxu clearly rendered the enemy’s attack void, incapable of dealing any damage.

Nevertheless.

The Godslaying Sword, still carrying an irresistible force, struck heavily upon Master Lingxu’s body surface.

"Swish!"

The fierce sword gleam erupted like a hot knife through butter, slicing through Master Lingxu’s form, leaving a long scar.

"Aaaah! Vile rat, how dare you harm me!"

Master Lingxu let out a painful wail, resorting to the most venomous language in his frenzied curses.

Although Lu Yuan’s strike didn’t kill Master Lingxu outright, it left him with severe injuries.

His form grew dimmer and more transparent, akin to a flickering candle in the wind, seemingly on the verge of extinguishing at any moment.

"Facing death yet still stubborn."

Lu Yuan snorted coldly, once again activating the Pure Lotus Heart Scripture.

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

As the lotus leaves fluttered, they scattered a myriad of radiance, illuminating Master Lingxu.

These sunset lights seem dazzlingly beautiful, but actually hide a deadly threat, capable of binding divine souls and sealing heaven and earth.

"Damn! How do you have the true heart method of Zen Buddhism?"

Master Lingxu’s face changed drastically, aware of the power of the three-colored sunset lights, he didn’t dare touch them at all, only forcing his body to desperately dodge around.

But he was inside Lu Yuan’s Soul Palace, like a turtle in a jar, no matter how fast he was, where could he escape to?

Moreover, Lu Yuan multitasked, simultaneously activating the Three-Colored Treasure Lotus and the Godslaying Sword, leaving no refuge for Master Lingxu.

Before long.

Master Lingxu was struck by a form of formless sword Qi, his body became increasingly illusory, and his speed slowed significantly.

The next moment.

He failed to dodge and was struck by a ray of sunset light, turning to stone-like, stunned in place, unable to move.

Soon, the sunset lights gathered together, forming a three-colored treasure lotus that heavily encased Master Lingxu, stripping him of all power to resist, unable to pose any threat to Lu Yuan anymore!

"A Half-Step Void Dao strong person is indeed formidable, if it weren’t for Master Lingxu only having a wisp of scattered soul left, in addition to me having two supreme refining god techniques, he might have succeeded,"

Lu Yuan said, looking tired and still shaken.

The battle of divine souls was unusually perilous, it was only his strong divine soul that allowed him to avoid easy possession by Master Lingxu, unlike other Nirvana Celestial Prides who might succumb in the blink of an eye.

"But this secret realm venture, although dangerous, capturing the scattered soul of Master Lingxu alive is worth the ordeal."

Lu Yuan murmured to himself, his eyes shining with heat.

For beings of the Void Dao level, they could already establish sects, claim kingship and ancestor, hence many cultivators regard them as Saint Masters.

Though Master Lingxu only had Half-Step Void Realm cultivation, he practiced for thousands of years, who knows how many cultivation technique manuals lie in his mind.

The memories in his soul alone are an invaluable treasure of immeasurable worth.

If Lu Yuan can refine Master Lingxu’s divine soul, claiming all those cultivation technique manuals as his own,

his power would leap forward, reaching unimaginable heights in a short period!

"Compared to a scattered soul of a Half-Step Void Dao strong person, what is mere Celestial Mandate inheritance?"

Lu Yuan carefully tucked away the Three-Colored Treasure Lotus, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"With over half a month until Spirit Void Cave Mansion closes, I might as well take this opportunity to completely refine Master Lingxu’s soul."

Thinking of this.

Lu Yuan immediately sat down, once more activating the Pure Lotus Heart Scripture, slowly refining the Three-Colored Treasure Lotus.

The treasure lotus was condensed purely from the power of the divine soul.

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

What Lu Yuan had to do was use the Purifying Lotus Heart Fire recorded in the Zen Heart Scripture to refine Master Lingxu’s divine soul.

"According to the Zen Heart Scripture, the Purifying Lotus Heart Fire can purify all things in the world, eradicate all distractions in the heart, even a trace of negative emotion can be burned to ashes."

"The Purifying Lotus Heart Fire has terrifying power, only Zen Masters who successfully condense the Five-Colored Treasure Lotus can control this fire."

Lu Yuan carefully recalled the records in the Zen Heart Scripture, ensuring nothing was missed before attempting to condense the Purifying Lotus Heart Fire.

The fragments of the Pure Lotus Heart Scripture he obtained from Cyan Cloud Sect were incomplete, but through the adjustment and improvement of the [Refining Illusion into Truth] talent,

the "Pure Lotus Heart Scripture" he now practiced was even more profound and mysterious than the orthodox original of Zen Buddhism.

This cultivation technique, in terms of mental state attainment, was divided into three colors, five colors, seven colors, nine colors.

The more glorious the colors of the treasure lotus, the higher the mental state attainment of the cultivator, the more steadfast the Dao Heart.

Lu Yuan currently only had the Three-Colored Treasure Lotus, although still far from the Five-Colored Treasure Lotus, his lifelong cultivation experience was enough to bridge the gap.

Time flew by, half a month passed in a flash.

In these half a month, Lu Yuan stayed at the peak of the Ten Thousand Feet Mountain, wholeheartedly cultivating.

Reaching this realm, he could already absorb heaven and earth spiritual energy to replenish his body’s consumption, not needing food or drink for hundreds of years without a problem.

As time passed, his comprehension and mastery of the Pure Lotus Heart Scripture grew ever deeper.

In the depths of his Soul Palace.

Golden flames burned fiercely, surrounding the Three-Colored Treasure Lotus, emanating incredible heat.

Under the burning of the golden flames.

Wisps of black smoke floated out from the depths of the three-colored treasure lotus, dissipating into the air.

The Purifying Lotus Heart Fire can purify everything in the world, and the black smoke represented the negative emotions and impurities in Master Lingxu’s soul.

Once these impurities were thoroughly removed, Master Lingxu would lose all intelligence and emotions, leaving only complete memory and power of the divine soul!
