Chapter 639: Chapter 524 Flawless Heart Like Crystal_1

After Jinping Dharma King left, Li Xuan sat in place, lost in thought for a moment, then turned to ask the materialized Qiluo: "Senior, do you perhaps have any solution to this?"

Qiluo, her chin resting in her hand, grew thoughtful: "The Lotus Seal, the Yuantai of the Buddhist Seal... what this lama said might indeed be the truth."

Li Xuan figured that the words of the Jinping Dharma King were likely trustworthy.

Given his status, he wouldn’t have sent his magical body from far away just to spew nonsense and stir up trouble for no reason.

Qiluo continued, "If you want to dispel this, there’s no possible way in the short term. Any method would damage Luo Yan’s Primordial Spirit and would inevitably endure the backlash of the Dashi of Buddhism, even to the point of mutual destruction. The only feasible strategy is to strengthen oneself. When Luo Yan strengthens her cultivation, she can gradually unravel it in a systematic and progressive manner."

She then changed her tone: "But you don’t need to worry too much. I don’t know who this Bodhisattva of Buddhism is who targeted Luo Yan, but taking Luo Yan’s body will not be a simple task."

"If I’m not mistaken, this ’Yuantai of the Buddhist Seal’ has probably been dormant for quite a while, otherwise I wouldn’t have noticed no anomaly. The dormancy of the Yuantai of the Buddhist Seal may also have something to do with you. You gave her will a foundation, an anchor."

"How should I put it? Before, she was like a ship buffeted by turbulent waves, beyond control, helplessly adrift. But now, she has a very strong rope tied to you. In other words, her will to live and obsession have become stronger, and it won’t be easy for the Dashi of Buddhism to invade her consciousness again."

Only then did Li Xuan’s expression slightly relax: "Since there’s no way to dispel it, what about mitigation strategies?"

"Apart from the Immortal Artifact to suppress it mentioned by Jinping, you can also attempt Dual Cultivation with her Shenpo to strengthen the spiritual bond between you two. I can also teach you a method of seals. When you are doing ’that’ with Luo Yan, you can gradually seal the Yuantai of the Buddhist Seal without them noticing."

Qiluo said up to here, her expression somewhat unnatural: "Actually, these are just symptomatic treatments, the effects are not significant. The key still lies in your personal cultivation levels."

"If Luo Yan’s mind and cultivation reach the middle heaven level, even the Dashi of Buddhism wouldn’t be able to do anything. If you, Li Xuan, become strong enough to confront the gods and Buddhas, that Dashi would not dare to act rashly."

Li Xuan thought, indeed, personal cultivation is the key.

However, he was also interested in the ’Method of Sealing’ that Qiluo had mentioned and earnestly asked her to teach him.

A while later, an unusual expression appeared on Li Xuan’s face.

How should he put it? This seal method was actually quite simple, but it had a premise - it could only be used when Luo Yan’s mind suffered a huge shock and lost control.

He had understood what Qiluo’s "that" meant, but this was quite difficult.

The difficulty was not with Luo Yan, under the double pleasure, Luo Yan could not bear it, the problem was that he himself couldn’t either.

Li Xuan then retracted his thoughts and began to refine his magical body.

He took out the ’Seven Orifices Exquisite Furnace’, then used his Primordial Spirit to ignite a fire, and began to refine it.

The process lasted half a day, until his Primordial Spirit imprint was formed inside the ’Seven Orifices Exquisite Furnace’, only then did Li Xuan add a drop of his own life essence blood into the furnace.

Then he watched as a large amount of flesh grew from the outside of the ’Seven Orifices Exquisite Furnace’, gradually forming internal organs, bones, and muscles, finally creating a complete human form.

--- It was Li Xuan’s appearance, naked, handsome and clear, tall and sturdy, with a heroic posture.

Li Xuan looked at it up and down, thinking how handsome this person was, truly worthy of being his own magical body.

The final step was the ’Primordial Light’.

The two words ’Primordial’ originally meant ’the origin of all things’, used here, it refers to the essence of the soul.

The advantage of the Primordial Light is that this technique can copy one’s own soul’s essence into the second mind.

And then there’s the ’Divine Light’, after the second mind is formed, as long as they are within the sensing range, they can ’reflect’ each other all the time.

This can not only help heal soul damage, but also maintain the consistency of the soul.

Many cultivators who practice dividing souls and transforming bodies lose their divided bodies because they develop their own consciousness while practicing.

The ’Primordial Light’ can ensure that this doesn’t happen.

Originally, the formation of the ’Second Mind’ required at least two to three months.

But now the magic of the ’Seven Orifice Exquisite Furnace’ showed up. When Li Xuan copied his Primordial Spirit inside it, it was incredibly easy, and it didn’t take much effort throughout.

Only the exhaustion of the soul force was severe, Li Xuan had to take all kinds of spiritual medicines to restore his Primordial Spirit.

About two days later, an hour before the Yunzhong warship arrived in Beijing, his ’Second Mind ’finally took initial form.

When the other ’Li Xuan’ opened his eyes and looked at him, Li Xuan felt a bit uneasy at first, but quickly adapted.

This was because he knew all of this avatar’s thoughts and ideas like the back of his hand.

But at this moment, Li Xuan noticed something unusual. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes: "Why does the Hao Qi of my second mind feel so much stronger than my own?"

His Great Rectitude just now began to transform into a small part of the core and it’s starting to take on the color of Flawless.

Yet, not only is the Hao Qi of his second mind greater, but at least one-seventh of it has already transformed into the color of ’Flawless’.

Moreover, he felt a special connection between his heart and the Second Mind’s Seven Orifices Exquisite Furnace.

"There’s nothing strange about that." Lv Qiluo explained: "All those with ’Haoqi Liuli’ must possess the ’Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart’. The ’Seven Orifices Exquisite Furnace’ is replicated from the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart."

She then pointed at Li Xuan’s heart with her slender fingers: "The Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart, not only does Yu Jie have it, but Wen Zhongliegong has it too. Li Xuan, your Exquisite Heart is also being generated. This is why I suggested that you cultivate the law of the seven orifices for your Second Mind, once your Exquisite Heart is fully formed, you will be able to feel its benefits. The existence of the Exquisite Furnace can enhance your Exquisite Heart and Hao Qi severals times, making both mutually reinforcing."

Li Xuan couldn’t help but be stunned. He thought to himself, isn’t the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart supposed to be the heart of ’Bi Gan’, the minister of the Shang Dynasty?

Apparently, it allows communication with all things in the world, enabling a person’s eyes to break through all illusions. It is also an excellent Spiritual Medicine that can enable a severely wounded person to be restored to his or her initial state.

This thing can enhance Hao Qi too? And it comes along with Hao Qi when it enters the ’Flawless’ stage?

Without dwelling for too long, Li Xuan quickly took out a complete set of high-grade magical instruments, putting them on the body of his Second Mind.

He designated this body to take over his daily ’cultivation’ and ’office work’. In addition to these tasks, it was also an important fighting force.

Although this Second Mind does not possess an immortal treasure or a supreme magical implement, its own power and the dominant body cultivated through ’Henglian Golden Body’ are enough to suppress most beings of The Fourth Gate.

From now on, he will rely on this Second Body to reign over the Liudao Division. Only some affairs which the Second Mind cannot handle would be dealt with by his principal body.

Next, Li Xuan tried to use the ’Yin-Yang Heaven-Earth Combination Combat Technique’ with his Second Mind.

But in the end, Li Xuan could only shake his head helplessly. Even though their Mana has been greatly amplified, they cannot achieve the perfect synchronization like him and Luo Yan, therefore, they couldn’t reach the power of the ’Yangtang Divine Saber’.

Li Xuan couldn’t help but wonder how many lifetimes of predestined relationship he and Demoness Zidie must have had, to have such a fortuitous encounter now?

Meanwhile, in a low wooden hut in Baofang Alley of Mingzhao Lane, Beijing, Baihu Gong Xiaowu, wearing brocade clothes, was seriously investigating the body of a middle-aged woman. The deeper she inspected the corpse, the deeper her eyebrows furrowed.

This act seemed to have enraged the deceased’s relatives standing nearby. Their faces were pale with rage, but they dared not vent their anger due to the towering presence of Zhang Yue and Gong Xiaowu’s Xiuchun Knife hanging from her waist.

"What’s wrong?" Zhang Yue also felt that Gong Xiaowu was behaving a bit excessively. He got closer to his girlfriend and whispered: "This is just a regular case of heatstroke, there’s no problem, right?"

Gong Xiaowu gave him a sideways glance: "Yue Lang, haven’t you noticed? As you made your way here through your jurisdiction, this has already been the seventh house with white flags up. Not even during the southern invasion by Meng Wu did we lose so many people. Therefore, it’s not just this house, we also have to inquire about the previous houses."

Zhang Yue paused in surprise, upon reflection, he found that it was indeed the case.

There were indeed several houses conducting funerals on the street today.

After that, Gong Xiaowu turned to face the deceased’s relatives: "You are the head of this household, can you tell me where your wife had been and what she had eaten in the days before she fell ill?"

The head of the family, a middle-aged man, felt that something was wrong from their conversation: "Sir, my wife hardly ever left her home. She usually just did housework and wove cloth. Her daily meals were also the same as ours. But..."

The middle-aged man looked thoughtful: "Three days ago, my wife went to the Duchenghuang Temple with a few other women she knew to worship Wen Zhonglie Duke."

"Duchenghuang Temple?"

After making a note of this, Gong Xiaowu took Zhang Yue and went to another house where a white flag was hanging.

Just then, they heard a woman call out: "Hey, look over here!"

The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw Sun Chuyun riding an Earth Dragon, standing ten steps away.

Conspicuous as such a beautiful woman and such a mighty mount should be, they did not notice her till now.

"Duwei Sun!"

The two casually saluted her, this was a situation they had encountered many times in the past.

Yet Sun Chuyun watched them with a serious expression: "Zhang Yue, have many people in your jurisdiction died of heatstroke? And did they all visit the Duchenghuang Temple?"

Gong Xiaowu couldn’t help but have a chill run down her spine. When she glanced at Zhang Yue, both of them could feel that something was not right with this situation.
