Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2383: Chapter 2382: Sudden Mutation

After the battle ended, Lin Dong put away the Yangxin Sword. He gazed at the ground, at the Yagi Pearl and the remains of the Orochi, which had turned into pieces of flesh.

He was just about to reach out and pick up the Yagi Pearl.

Suddenly, something unexpected happened.

The Yagi Pearl, which had been silent, suddenly emitted a dazzling light. Within that light, it seemed something was slowly awakening.

Lin Dong’s heart was shocked, and he immediately watched the Yagi Pearl with caution. As he saw the light gradually disperse, a soul remnant emerged from within, flying into Lin Dong’s body.

The soul remnant wanted to seize Lin Dong’s body.

Lin Dong had encountered in some ancient books that when some Heavenly Realm Martial Artists die, their divine soul lingers within the ’soul instrument.’

Some wait for the ’predestined person.’

If someone picks up that soul instrument and it finds the flesh suitable, it will fly into the person’s body to seize it.

If the possession succeeds, the Heavenly Realm Martial Artist’s divine soul reawakens in a new identity.

However, such possession requires mastering the ’Cultivation Technique for Body Seizing,’ and the success rate is very low.

If the target has a strong mental will, it’s not that you possess them, but rather they refine you.

Lin Dong did not expect that a divine soul was hiding within the Yagi Pearl.

Moreover, that divine soul unexpectedly flew into Lin Dong’s body, attempting to possess him, to replace his body.

Lin Dong couldn’t help but laughingly said, "You are really ignorant of the heights of the heavens and depths of the earth, daring to possess a Mental Power Monk?"

Therefore, when it comes to possession targets, Mental Power Monks are the hardest to possess, because their mental power is incredibly strong.

Like Lin Dong, who now has spiritual power at thirty stages; for the opponent to possess him is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. Unless the opponent, while alive, is also a Mental Power Monk.

Additionally, they would have to exceed him by at least thirty stages, reaching spiritual power at sixty stages, to have the opportunity to possess Lin Dong.

But that divine soul clearly isn’t.

Spiritual power at sixty stages isn’t even recorded in ancient books.

From ancient times to the present across ten thousand years of Martial Arts History, none have been recorded.

It is obviously not!

At this moment, the divine soul arrived in Lin Dong’s Sea of Consciousness.

Upon arrival, it regretted it.

Because it saw the Black Lotus in Lin Dong’s Sea of Consciousness and understood the identity of Lin Dong as a Mental Power Monk.

It knew, no matter what, it could not possibly possess the owner of this body successfully.

"Whoosh～～"

It quickly transformed into a shadow, preparing to escape from Lin Dong’s Sea of Consciousness.

Lin Dong’s voice echoed from the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.

"Since you’ve come, leaving nothing behind and just going like this would be too impolite, wouldn’t it?"

"How about leaving yourself here instead?"

"Here, serve as my nourishment, help me go further in my spiritual power!"

Upon these words, from within the Black Lotus in Lin Dong’s Sea of Consciousness, a terrifying pulling force emerged.

That terrifying pulling force drew in the divine soul that was escaping to a distant place.

"Ah..."

The soul uttered a miserable cry and was devoured by the Black Lotus.

It really was treated like nourishment, being absorbed.

This divine soul’s soul power was considerable, after Lin Dong devoured it, his spiritual power grew from the early stage of thirty stages to the mid-stage of thirty stages.

But it still didn’t reach the thirty-first stage!

Once spiritual power reaches thirty stages, growing even a single stage is extremely difficult. Absorbing a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist’s divine soul simply cannot achieve it.

Unless absorbing a divine soul like the Jianyu Thunder God from the Nine Heavens!

After Lin Dong fully absorbed the divine soul that flew out from the Yagi Pearl, he opened his eyes once more.

The Yagi Pearl lay quietly on the ground.

At this moment, he connected with the Sovereign Witch within the Dragon Ring, asking her:

"Senior Sovereign Witch, what exactly is the origin of this Yagi Pearl?"

"Why does it have so many effects? By swallowing it, one can cultivate the Yagi Divine Skill. Moreover, it possesses the power of insight, can see through illusions, and identify weaknesses in others."

"Additionally, it acts as a soul instrument, allowing divine souls to reside..."

The functions of the Yagi Pearl are clearly far beyond these.

But Lin Dong currently only temporarily noticed these.

Yet just these functions already left Lin Dong feeling amazed.

The Sovereign Witch spoke: "It is rumored that this Yagi Pearl is an eye of the Ancestor of the Baqi Great Serpent."

"Therefore, it enables those who swallow it to cultivate the Yagi Divine Skill, transforming into the Baqi Great Serpent."

"Simultaneously, it possesses the ability to see through illusions, as well as the capabilities of the Eye of Insight. The eye of the Ancestor of the Baqi Great Serpent is much more terrifying than these."

"If it were the true eye of the Baqi Great Serpent, it would not only possess the ability to see through illusions and the power of insight. It would also have the ability to produce illusion techniques..."

After hearing the words of the Sovereign Witch, Lin Dong remained silent for a long time before saying:

"Senior Sovereign Witch, can I still devour it?"

"If it really is an eye of the Ancestor of the Baqi Great Serpent, if I were to devour it, would it cause any side effects?"

The Sovereign Witch shook her head and said, "Although the ancient books record a person who once devoured a Yagi Pearl. After swallowing it, they neither cultivated the Yagi Divine Skill nor fully obtained some abilities of the Yagi Pearl... But that is, after all, just what’s recorded in ancient texts. Who can guarantee whether it is true or not?"

"Besides, just because someone else can doesn’t mean you can, too. Everyone’s body is different."

"Just like some can become martial artists or cultivate, but some cannot."

Even the Sovereign Witch could not determine what would happen if Lin Dong devoured this Yagi Pearl.

It might be dangerous, or perhaps it could be an opportunity.

She couldn’t predict it.

So ultimately, the decision had to be made by Lin Dong himself.

Lin Dong pondered for a moment and finally said, "Even if it is truly an eye of the Ancestor of the Baqi Great Serpent, I should not fear it."

"I do not fear gods or buddhas, much less just an eye of the Ancestor of a demon beast?"

At this moment, Lin Dong radiated an aura of fearlessness, as if even gods and buddhas would take notice.

His eyes were filled with challenge and conquest towards the world, as if nothing was invincible in his sight.

At that instant, he was like an ancient Emperor, traversing from remote time and space, carrying a natural subjugation and majesty. He was fearless, even gods and buddhas were intimidated.

"Yagi Pearl, I am going to extract strength from you," Lin Dong murmured to himself, reaching toward the Yagi Pearl.

The moment his fingers touched the bead, a powerful force instantly surged into his body.

Lin Dong felt a sharp pain, as if his entire body was about to be torn apart. He clenched his teeth tightly, enduring the pain, allowing that force to rampage through his body.

As time passed, the pain gradually dissipated, replaced by a warm and strong force flowing within Lin Dong’s body.

He felt his eyes begin to heat, a peculiar force gathering within them.

"This... this is..." Lin Dong discovered that his eyes were undergoing transformation.

Originally his eyes, already deemed as ’Eyes of the Holy Doctor.’

Capable of seeing through worldly sickness, able to perceive much of its essence.

But now, his pair of ’Eyes of the Holy Doctor’ was evolving once again.

In his right eye, when exerting inner qi, unexpectedly developed another pupil.

The shape of that pupil somewhat resembled the ’Yagi Pearl.’

When he activated that pupil to observe the world.

He seemed to be able to perceive everything in the world; hidden weaknesses or illusions could not escape its gaze.

Lin Dong attempted to use that pupil to view the world, discovering he could distinctly observe martial artists’ internal force flow within several hundred kilometers, even able to sense their martial dao flaws.

Moreover, he could see through illusions; those once puzzling illusions and disguises were exposed before these eyes.

"Is this the power of insight from the Yagi Pearl?"

Lin Dong marveled in his heart, feeling that his strength had greatly enhanced, and these eyes had not only retained the previous abilities of the ’Eyes of the Holy Doctor’ but also gained the insight power provided by the Yagi Pearl.

"But my right eye won’t always have double pupils, will it?"

"If so, it would be too strange, wouldn’t it?"
