If Lu Chen does not help Ye Nanzhai recover his memory, then Ye Nanzhai will remain a fool for the rest of his life due to a fragment of a ghost.
Therefore, the key aspect of Sword Dissolution lies in its reliance on a person, which is also its weakness. Those who cultivate prioritize their own safety above all else, valuing their lives far more than any relatives or friends.
Just like in today's world, many people do not even trust their own family members and find it difficult to find someone worthy of reliance. This is why few choose the lowly method of Corpse Transformation like Sword Dissolution; they fear that after their Essence Sphere is accepted by the person they rely on, that person may not fulfill their promise, leaving them as fools in the next life.
"The Supreme Leader sees me as a person to rely on; I will not let you down," Lu Chen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Then, Lu Chen looked up at the empty Eternal Life Palace, where everything was silent without a sound.
Lu Chen speculated, "The Supreme Leader should be in the Southern Seven States by now. The richest merchant there is named Ye Dajin. He also shares the surname Ye; he might have some familial ties with the Ye Family that the Supreme Leader belongs to."
However, from this moment on, there would no longer be Ye Nanzhai or Supreme Leader because Lu Chen is now the Supreme Leader, the top figure of the Red Robe Sect. He has gained the title, but he still does not know where the real power lies. The higher-ups of the Red Robe Sect are waiting for Lu Chen to suppress them.
Those individuals are all ambitious and cunning; they would do anything for power. As the Supreme Leader, he must shoulder great responsibilities and embody the true demeanor of a powerful figure, using force to crush them.
Ye Nanzhai left many gifts for Lu Chen; now it depends on how Lu Chen will act.
Lu Chen turned around and sat on the Throne of the Eternal Life Palace, crossed his legs, and began to refine the Essence Sphere left by Ye Nanzhai.
Using Yin Spirit Insight, Lu Chen discovered that the Essence Sphere had already entered his chest cavity and was continuously emitting both Yin and Yang energies to nourish him.
Indeed, the Essence Sphere emits two types of energies simultaneously: Yin Yuan and Yang Yuan. It can refine both spiritual and physical aspects while solidifying life. However, its emission speed is too slow, flowing like a stream; Lu Chen cannot afford to wait for it.
Lu Chen tried various methods to stimulate it, but none were very effective. Only one Yin technique could achieve twice the result with half the effort: the Four Symbols Thunder Scripture, which comes from Xuan Huang Sect's Yin Method.
Xuan Huang Sect is located on Yuanrong Immortal Island beyond the Eastern Sea; its qualifications and overall strength are sufficient to rival Five Element Sect—this is no exaggeration. Using Xuan Huang Sect's Four Symbols Thunder Scripture to stimulate the Essence Sphere yields extraordinary results.
Lu Chen entered his own Flesh, repeatedly condensing electric snakes the thickness of chopsticks with both palms, then striking the Essence Sphere to stimulate it. Suddenly, the Essence Sphere was tempered by lightning, and the Yin-Yang Primordial Energy inside began to erupt more violently, flooding into Lu Chen's Flesh and Yin Spirit like a breached dam.
Lu Chen could clearly feel his cultivation improving; both his Flesh and Yin Spirit were being strengthened. The speed of this advancement was far faster than consuming any elixirs.
He possessed the Supreme Garment left by Li Shian and had long been Fasting, allowing him to avoid eating regular food. Now, with the Essence Sphere, the energy and spirit required by both his Flesh and Yin Spirit could be infinitely satisfied, even eliminating the need to drink water.
Additionally, the advantages of the Eternal Life Palace were numerous. Firstly, this was Ye Nanzhai's Palace, which was both serene and secure. Normally, apart from Ye Nanzhai himself, no one dared to enter easily. Even if someone wanted to come in, they could not do so without the sect leader's seal. If anyone dared to force their way in, it would first be opposed by members within the Red Robe Sect.
Although some high-ranking individuals plotted against Ye Nanzhai, he was the core of the Red Robe Sect—the backbone and its emblem. Those who dared to openly undermine their own emblem would first face opposition from the Grassroots Red Robe Disciples, as they were all righteous individuals with a strong sense of justice and a deep aversion to internal strife.
Moreover, the Ye Family's higher-ups within the Red Robe Sect were not a monolithic group; each had their own schemes. Their unity would depend on how much benefit was at stake.
Using Four Phases Thunder to strike the Essence Sphere and stimulate the Yin-Yang Primordial Energy for tempering his spiritual flesh, Lu Chen took full advantage of the Eternal Life Palace as an ideal place for seclusion, continuing without pause.
After three hours of effort, the originally thumb-sized Essence Sphere had been refined down to the size of a green bean. However, it seemed that there was still a significant amount of Yin-Yang Primordial Energy yet to be stimulated. Based on Lu Chen's usual supply and demand calculations, it would take another year or so to fully utilize it.
In these three hours, Lu Chen had seized an immense amount from the Essence Sphere; his gains were truly substantial.
The Yin Spirit emerged from his Flesh and landed steadily on the ground. Immediately, a sharp Pure Yang Classic aura erupted from within the Yin Spirit, filling the entire Eternal Life Palace with its presence in every corner.
The Pure Yang Classic aura was an essential path for manifesting the Yin Spirit.
With his eyes tightly closed and hands forming seals, Lu Chen activated Yin Yuan and began to manifest.
A strange sound echoed as Lu Chen's originally formless Yin Spirit began to take on a human outline under the influence of Yin Yuan and his seals. From a distance, it resembled a hollow human frame that initially formed a structure resembling Flesh.
At this moment, he felt that his Yin Zhen had not yet reached its limit and there was still room for further improvement.
“Dharmakaya, manifest, Dharmakaya, manifest,” Lu Chen silently recited, and once again, a series of strange crackling sounds erupted.
The crackling noise suddenly began to transform into a popping sound, like frying beans.
Then, Lu Chen abruptly withdrew his energy, feeling a lightness throughout his body. He raised his hands to check the situation; now his Yin Spirit had manifested into a true Flesh, except it lacked the skin wrinkles and pores that should be present on Flesh. The skin was shiny and smooth, resembling that of a newborn baby, pure as a blank sheet of paper.
Next, the Yin Spirit trembled, and Lu Chen transformed into another version of himself. The two Lu Chens stood together in the Eternal Life Palace. One was his Flesh, quietly sitting cross-legged on the Throne.
The one manifested from the Yin Spirit was indistinguishable from the other; not even a single flaw could be found. This was the effect of the spirit-flesh correspondence, allowing the Yin Spirit's manifestation of the Dharmakaya to appear just like a reflection in a mirror, making it hard to tell which was real and which was not; an ordinary person would be unable to discern any difference.
“My Yin Spirit has finally cultivated to the Manifestation of the Dharma Body,” Lu Chen's tone was filled with excitement and trembled slightly.
For an ordinary person, transitioning from Spirit Travel to Manifestation of the Dharma Body typically took at least ten to twenty years of effort. However, Lu Chen had achieved this in just a few months. It was likely that even Elder Yin Boqing would not surpass this speed.
In addition to the progress in his Yin Spirit cultivation, Lu Chen's Qigong had also received a tremendous boost, rising directly from the mid-stage of second level Unity of Man to the peak late stage, only a thin membrane away from Qigong's Three-Stage Divine Power Golden Body.
Lu Chen clenched his fists tightly, causing the veins and blood vessels in his arms to bulge. From a distance, it appeared somewhat fierce and terrifying. If he were to use his Yin Spirit to delve inside himself for inspection, he would find that his blood had gradually begun to coagulate.
The blood starting to coagulate was a precursor to it becoming like mercury. Additionally, his bones would slowly harden and take shape, changing in quality until they became harder than steel; this was the true physique of a Qigong master at the third stage.
It is said that masters of the Divine Body are immune to all diseases and can even directly expel poisons. For instance, if someone were poisoned with a deadly toxin, Lu Chen could let them drink a bit of his blood to bring them back to life. Furthermore, with hardened bones, he could swing them down with force and break iron plates apart.
Of course, transitioning from Peak of Unity to Divine Power Body is easy in theory but much more challenging in practice. It requires not only spiritual comprehension but also gradual advancement of the Flesh as it transforms from Mortal Body into an indestructible Divine Body through significant metamorphosis.
Especially in the path of martial arts, Qigong is very difficult to practice, and it becomes increasingly challenging as one progresses. Once entering the Divine Power Body, advancing even a little further requires tremendous effort.
The Divine Power Golden Body Realm, also known as the Death Realm, signifies that many people may die outside or inside the Divine Body, and it is also directly related to Lifespan.
In terms of Cultivation, it is better to be precise than fast. Lu Chen deeply understands that his current improvement in cultivation is too rapid, like a castle in the air. If he solely pursues speed and height, he will ultimately become a decorative object—impressive but lacking substance and foundation.
This is why he does not fully refine the Essence Sphere; he wants to dedicate all his energy to solidifying his cultivation.
A thick electric snake, as thick as an arm, shot from Lu Chen's left hand to his right hand and then back again. The Four Symbols Thunder Scripture has become even more powerful with the enhancement of the Yin Spirit Realm. The electric snake has grown from the thickness of chopsticks to that of an arm, already exhibiting a terrifying presence.
Lu Chen sat back on the Throne and began to comprehend the Three Aspects Return to One Scripture. The Three Aspects Return to One Scripture symbolizes the Red Robe Sect Leader and serves as the Master Seal; it is necessary to open the doors of the Eternal Life Palace using this scripture.
If Lu Chen does not cultivate the Three Aspects Return to One Scripture, he cannot expect to leave this place!
Lu Chen recalled the incantation taught to him by Ye Nanzhai and began his cultivation.
The Three Aspects Return to One Scripture consists of three levels: the first level is Emperor's Art, which focuses on powerful individuals; the second level is The Achievement of the General, which emphasizes explosive power; and the third level is People's Power, which centers on collective strength.
Ye Nanzhai only cultivated up to the second level, The Achievement of the General, indicating its difficulty. However, its power is undeniable; Yellow Brow Ancestor was injured by Ye Nanzhai using The Achievement of the General. If it weren't for timely divine healing, he would likely be rushing into the mountains for Corpse Transformation right now.
