Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 895: Method to Commune With Heaven and Earth

Truth be told, the moment Yun Zhi laid eyes on the primordial soul, she was startled. The primordial soul bore an eighty percent resemblance to her little junior brother and twenty percent to the Everlasting Immortal Fairy. Her initial thought was that Lu Yang and the Everlasting Immortal Fairy had some sort of liaison, such as a spiritual union or the like.

Then she realized that it was a consequence of the Everlasting Immortal Fairy assisting Lu Yang in his cultivation.

Even so, the sight of the primordial soul gave her a strange feeling. She felt that if the Everlasting Immortal Fairy continued to help Lu Yang cultivate, causing the primordial soul’s features to change further, that peculiar feeling would only intensify.

During the Nascent Soul Stage, it wasn’t a big deal. After all, the Unbeatable Nascent Soul was still small. Aside from Lu Yang himself, no one could discern whom it resembled.

But it wouldn’t do for the primordial soul at the Divine Transfiguration Stage.

Out of this consideration, Yun Zhi spoke up to prevent the Everlasting Immortal Fairy from aiding Lu Yang in cultivation.

Of course, continuing to help him cultivate did also carry the risk of gender transformation.

Compelled by Yun Zhi’s earnest admonition, Lu Yang had no choice but to abandon his vengeful exploitation of his primordial soul and treat it better instead, letting it assist him in studying cultivation techniques.

With Lu Yang and his primordial soul studying simultaneously, the efficiency doubled.

And the exhaustion also doubled.

But with Spirit-Restoration Pills on hand, a mere increase in fatigue was trivial. These were specially formulated Spirit-Restoration Pills, complete with pill patterns and pill clouds—the cream of the crop.

Lu Yang’s contributions to the Dao-Seeking Sect were so immense that his contribution points were practically inexhaustible. He purchased top-grade pills by the jin—extremely extravagant.

Considering the pills’ monotonous flavor could lead to aversion with prolonged use, Lu Yang placed numerous small plates before him, holding bean paste, fermented tofu, chili sauce, chive flower paste... He could have whatever flavor he desired. If his identity jade tablet didn’t contain a particular dip he craved, he would send his primordial soul to the commercial street to buy some—extremely convenient.

When his primordial soul returned, it was stopped at the entrance and refused entry on the grounds of carrying food. Lu Yang went downstairs to find his primordial soul also carrying a handful of barbeque skewers.

This was definitely not part of the instructions.

Needless to say, the Everlasting Creed members must have foisted them upon my primordial soul to curry favor with me.

Lu Yang remained in the scripture library throughout, with only three breaks during the entire period.

Top-grade Spirit-Restoration Pills weren’t omnipotent; prolonged use diminished their efficacy. Lu Yang had to slow his studying pace and sleep on the chairs.

His primordial soul was fortunate enough to rest alongside its master.

The Everlasting Immortal Fairy, uncharacteristically, didn’t stir up a racket in the mental space, granting Lu Yang a peaceful environment to rest.

A month and a half slipped by. The brilliant principles of Divine Transfiguration cultivation techniques, from ancient times to the present day, had gathered in Lu Yang’s mind, forming what was practically a mobile repository of cultivation techniques.

Lu Yang spent another half a month deconstructing these principles, attempting to align them with the Nascent Soul Chapter of the Clear Heart True Nature Mantra.

“Time to write the cultivation technique!”

During these two months, Lu Yang felt as if he was conversing with Divine Transfiguration cultivators across three hundred thousand years, discussing the meaning of cultivation techniques and exploring the purpose of cultivation, allowing him to reap tremendous gains. His entire being was renewed inside and out; even his speech and demeanor had transformed.

Lu Yang flashed a confident smile. Truly, the wisdom of past sages is not to be underestimated; it has provided me with much edification.

His primordial soul laid out brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. It ground the ink and presented the brush to him. With a wolf-hair brush in hand, Lu Yang proceeded to write. His writing seemed to be imbued with the blessings of the divine, as he wrote rapidly.

The insights over two months coalesced and were integrated into the cultivation technique.

“Mission accomplished!” 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

“Your cultivation technique needs to be completely rewritten,” Yun Zhi said callously.

“Ah?”

Seeing Lu Yang’s shocked expression, Yun Zhi sighed and explained, “Little Junior Brother, studying others’ cultivation techniques and drawing on their strengths is commendable. But you’ve forgotten the unique nature of your Divine Transfiguration Stage.”

“Unique nature? My primordial soul?”

“Correct. The most crucial aspect of a Divine Transfiguration cultivation technique is how it enables you to commune with heaven and earth. Your cultivation technique includes worldly experience, comprehending life’s myriad forms, playing the qin by streams, and so on. These methods are effective, but you can have better ones.”

“Such as?”

“Do you know that on the brink of death, a cultivator’s perception expands infinitely? Even mortals in their final moments can perceive ghosts, spirits, and things they never could while they were alive, let alone cultivators.”

Lu Yang shuddered. “Are you suggesting that I maintain a near-death state?”

Yun Zhi shook her head. “That’s too dangerous. From my observation, when your primordial soul returns to your body, its senses synchronize with yours.”

Lu Yang’s eyes lit up as he grasped what she was getting at. “Big Senior Sister, do you mean having my primordial soul die in my stead?”

“Not die—keep it on the verge of death,” Yun Zhi corrected. There is a distinction between the two.

Lu Yang nodded repeatedly. Pretty much the same.

“Then shall we try?” Lu Yang proposed excitedly. He summoned his primordial soul and ordered it not to flee, no matter what danger it could encounter.

Yun Zhi nodded slightly, signaling Lu Yang to step back, then struck the primordial soul that remained in place with a palm. If it weren’t for Lu Yang’s command, the primordial soul would have long fled.

Before the palm even came close to the primordial soul, it dimmed instantly, as if under massive pressure, becoming utterly feeble.

Noticing this, Yun Zhi ceased her attack and signaled Lu Yang to withdraw his spirit.

With just a fraction more force, Little Junior Brother’s primordial soul would have crumbled.

The moment his primordial soul returned, Lu Yang dropped to his knees and gasped for breath as he received the primordial soul’s sensations.

That palm strike was terrifying. Though he had reached the Divine Transfiguration Stage, when faced with that palm, he was but an ant before a mountain—a gulf too vast for any measure.

Lu Yang’s consciousness grew hazy, and he felt the world spin. His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed, his gaze vacant.

In that moment, his perception expanded infinitely. He could hear spirit energy coursing through his body, sense spirit qi traversing through leaves, feel the solemn majesty of Heaven’s Gate Peak... Even listening to Gan Tian’s qin hadn’t felt this clear.

Lu Yang slowly regained consciousness, realizing this was communing with heaven and earth. With a few more times, his perception of changes in heaven and earth would surely sharpen.

Yun Zhi produced a drop of water from her identity jade tablet and held it in a leaf, feeding it to Lu Yang.

He didn’t know the water’s origin, but his mind cleared considerably after consuming it.

“How do you feel?”

“It works!” Lu Yang grinned.

A near-death state without real danger... how many Divine Transfiguration cultivators would be envious of this?

The only drawback was that it couldn’t be done in succession. His primordial soul was severely wounded and required lengthy recuperation. However, the strong stopped at nothing to grow stronger. Lu Yang felt no sympathy for his primordial soul.

“As long as it works.” Yun Zhi nodded. “You need to include this in your cultivation technique. That way...”

“My cultivation will count as a pass?”

“That way, only sixty percent of your cultivation technique will need revision.”

Lu Yang was speechless.

Isn’t that still considered a fail?
