Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 894: The Primordial Soul’s Usage

After attempting to awaken Li Haoran’s memories from his first life to no avail and repeatedly flaunting the good news of his advancement to the Divine Transfiguration Stage, Lu Yang headed to the scripture library in satisfaction.

On the other hand, Li Haoran hefted his hammer and pounded away at myriad metals with fierce clangs, determined to catch up to Lu Yang’s cultivation progress as quickly as possible, lest he come boasting about his achievements again.

~~~

Not long ago, Lu Yang had visited the scripture library to study various knowledge related to lightning tribulations as preparation. Unfortunately, though he had learned a great deal, none of it proved useful during the actual tribulation.

As usual, Lu Yang leafed through cultivation manuals, hoping to glean inspiration from other cultivation techniques to incorporate into his own.

Most Divine Transfiguration cultivators had two main points of focus. The first was to maximize the primordial spirit’s capabilities, such as out-of-body projection and combat.

This was of little use to Lu Yang. His primordial soul was virtually indistinguishable from his real self and highly adaptable; there was no need for deliberate cultivation in this area.

The other major focus was on effectively communing with heaven and earth. This was an area Lu Yang hadn’t previously explored, yet essential for every Divine Transfiguration cultivator.

The smoother one’s communion with heaven and earth, the easier future advancements to the Void Refinement and the Fusion stages would be, and establishing rules later on would also be simpler.

Common methods included increasing contact with nature, whether it was by immersing oneself in mountains far from clamor or wandering amidst the bustling, mundane realm. Mere seclusion would not work.

Lu Yang clutched a stack of cultivation manuals. These were carefully selected Divine Transfiguration-level cultivation techniques that could aid him in writing the continuation of his own.

“No matter what, I mustn’t let Big Senior Sister revise it again this time!”

As a full-fledged Divine Transfiguration cultivator, I can’t rely on Big Senior Sister for everything.

Isn’t it just a Divine Transfiguration cultivation technique? Easy peasy!

Divine Transfiguration cultivation techniques were far more abstruse than Nascent Soul ones. Many cultivators who had just advanced to the Divine Transfiguration Stage would spend days deciphering a single volume.

However, Lu Yang was different. From the very beginning of his cultivation, he had studied all kinds of cultivation techniques, forming a personal system for comprehending them. Applying this system to any cultivation technique allowed him to grasp about seventy to eighty percent.

Soon, Lu Yang slumped directly onto the desk, exhausted.

“This won’t do. There are too many cultivation techniques.” Although understanding cultivation techniques wasn’t difficult, the sheer volume of information was immense. After flipping through five manuals, his head spun, and drowsiness set in.

“Why not have your primordial soul help read them?” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy suggested.

“The primordial soul can do that?” Lu Yang hadn’t seen any text mention such a use for the primordial soul.

“This is the almighty Unbeatable Primordial Soul! How could it be on the same level as common mortals’ primordial souls?” 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Lu Yang figured it was worth a try. He summoned his primordial soul, which bore roughly eighty percent resemblance to him. “Little Primordial, go find two Divine Transfiguration cultivation manuals for reference.”

Not all cultivation techniques could serve as references. For instance, cultivation techniques of the Single’s Spirit Root lineage were utterly devoid of reference value. He had assigned this task to test the primordial soul’s discernment.

Not long after, the primordial soul returned with an armful of cultivation manuals. Lu Yang inspected them and found that they were all indeed useful to him.

He picked one at random. “Here. Read this through.”

The primordial soul obediently sat down, eyes fixed on the text, concentrating intently, analyzing the content and principles.

By the time the primordial soul returned to Lu Yang’s body, he was astonished to find that he had absorbed all it had learned. The only drawback was that the fatigue had transferred to him as well.

“Well? Impressive, right?” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy was smug. She had spent over a month researching the applications of the primordial soul, and the more she learned, the more useful she found it.

“Use it while you can,” she kindly reminded him. “When you reach the Fusion Stage, your primordial soul will fuse with you, and it’ll no longer be usable then.”

Back when I was at the Nascent Soul Stage, the Unbeatable Nascent Soul had beaten me up badly. Once I reached the Divine Transfiguration Stage, I got my revenge.

“The primordial soul can assist you in cultivation, studies; there are plenty of uses.”

“It’s indeed impressive.” Lu Yang nodded sincerely. All those beatings at the Nascent Soul Stage weren’t in vain. Finally, I’m reaping the sweet rewards after the bitter hardships.

“Then go help me write the Divine Transfiguration Chapter of the Clear Heart True Nature Mantra.” Lu Yang entrusted his primordial soul with a task crucial to his future fate.

Meanwhile, Lu Yang arranged three chairs against the wall. He lay down with his arms behind his head, crossed his legs, half-closed his eyes, and propped his legs up, basking in the scripture library’s peaceful atmosphere, utterly at ease.

“By the way, Immortal Fairy, how did you manage to sever your own Silent Annihilation Incipient Dao Fruit back then?” Lu Yang was curious. The Everlasting Immortal Fairy truly was amazing, worthy of being the head of the Five Ancient Immortals.

Previously, the Heaven Mandate Immortal praised this action of hers, even admitting that the four of them couldn’t match her, a testament to how powerful she was. She wasn’t bragging. She was the first of the Five Ancient Immortals and the Ten Ancient Beauties.

“Hmph! Naturally, I split myself into a Transcendent Tribulation body and the Silent Annihilation Incipient Dao Fruit body, then used the Transcendent Tribulation form to sever the past!” The Everlasting Immortal Fairy’s chin lifted slightly; she, too, found this feat of hers remarkable.

“Tell me, tell me! How did the battle go?” Lu Yang grew excited. As expected of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. She can defeat her Incipient Dao Fruit form even without one herself.

“Basically, I first performed the Play-Dead Technique and then separated the Transcendent Tribulation body. While the Silent Annihilation Incipient Dao Fruit form was feigning death, with a clean and quick kerchak, I got rid of her!”

Lu Yang was speechless. Why is this battle process not quite what I had imagined?

Suddenly, Lu Yang shivered, as if disaster loomed. He snapped his eyes open to find Yun Zhi bent over and looking at him, holding his primordial soul by the scruff.

“Little Junior Brother.”

“Here!” Lu Yang shot up, sitting rigidly, hands on his knees.

“Your primordial soul just came to me, asking me to help write the continuation of your cultivation technique. Care to explain this?” Yun Zhi’s tone was flat, but Lu Yang was familiar with her and could already sense the displeasure beneath.

I’m doomed!

Lu Yang glared at his primordial soul. I told you to write the cultivation technique! Why did you ask others for help?!

“Uh, Big Senior Sister, if I said this was all the primordial soul’s doing and had nothing to do with me, would you believe it?”

Yun Zhi continued staring at him quietly.

Lu Yang had no choice but to honestly confess that he had instructed his primordial soul to study and write the cultivation technique.

“An interesting primordial soul; it can even study cultivation techniques. But remember, Little Junior Brother—the primordial soul assists you in studying cultivation techniques. You are the one in charge.”

“Understood!”

“Also, Senior Fairy Immortal.”

“Here! Lass Yun, are you going to say that I should supervise Xiao Yangzi? Don’t worry, I won't let him misuse his primordial soul,” the Everlasting Immortal Fairy spoke with righteous fervor, as if she was ready to punish her kin for the sake of justice.

“No, I was going to say that you should stop helping Little Junior Brother cultivate. If you continue, I’m afraid his primordial soul might change gender.”
