Chapter 470: Chapter 310: Exiting the Underground Palace

"Heh... Your soul condensation little devil shows a resilient mind,"

Luo Xiran’s tone relaxed considerably, imbued with a hint of a smile, "Although I don’t know what you’ve been through, it seems I don’t need to distract myself with maintaining your consciousness."

Upon hearing these words, an ominous premonition inexplicably rose in Xu Yuan’s heart:

"Wait, what do you mean?"

Luo Xiran laughed with a hum:

"It means, you disrespectful little brat, rein it in. Don’t get ahead of yourself with the tough talk; the real pain is yet to come."

"......"

The sneer at the corner of Xu Yuan’s mouth stiffened ever so slightly, "What..."

Before he could finish, his entire body stiffened abruptly.

Due to ghostification, the whites of Xu Yuan’s narrow phoenix eyes had vanished, leaving only a pair of bewitching, blood-red pupils shining with demonic light.

And at that moment,

Countless colorful silk threads suddenly surfaced amidst the darkness of his eyes, dense and entangled like spider webs, turning the entire eyes into a shocking blood-red color.

Xu Yuan suddenly felt rather foolish, truly.

The Blood Essence Meteoring Art had already laid it out quite simply for the Innate Taoist Body; one needed to follow a specific cultivation method, endlessly destroying and rebuilding the sea of consciousness and meridians.

And now, what Luo Xiran intended to do to him was largely similar.

Using a method she discovered ten thousand years ago, she aimed to achieve a leap in the hierarchy of life by repeatedly flipping his body between the ghostly and human races using Life Origin and Life Reversal Liquid.

Under the seemingly inexhaustible nourishment of Life Origin, Xu Yuan could clearly feel the mycotic armor within his body growing at a geometric rate, along with the accompanying pain that spread from his will-spirit deep inside to all the bones in his limbs and body.

Luo Xiran seemed to be able to observe the state of Xu Yuan’s consciousness:

"If we had enough time, we could take it slow, but as you said before, a Saint could come hunting us down at any moment, so I must complete this in the shortest time possible."

"......"

The endless pain prevented Xu Yuan from speaking immediately. After a long time, he managed to laugh weakly and shakily:

"Then... then make it faster...."

"What?"

This time, Luo Xiran’s tone carried a bit of gravity, "Do you... know what you’re saying?"

His body trembling slightly from the intense pain, Xu Yuan sent his voice through his will-spirit, quivering slightly:

"I.. I am still able to communicate with you while conscious, so if I tell you to hurry... then stop wasting words... Agh!!"

Before he could finish, Xu Yuan’s voice became a low growl suppressed by agony.

A massive vortex suddenly formed at the bottom of the Blood Pool, centered around Xu Yuan.

The blood-colored liquid containing Life Origin was swept up and absorbed, becoming transparent before being whisked away by the vortex.

Within the relentless, pricking pain, Xu Yuan did not lower his guard. Instead, he grew even more cautious, checking his body and the symbiotic mycotic armor.

He did not trust this elder sister he had newly acknowledged.

It was true, as Luo Xiran had said, that they were now in a symbiotic relationship, but even symbiosis had a hierarchy of primary and secondary.

Luo Xiran, a determined person who dared to turn herself into a Spirit Charm Spectre, was unlikely to take the submissive role and be controlled by him.

At the center of the vortex at the bottom of the pool, time passed slowly.

In the time that ticked away second by second, Xu Yuan gradually sensed that his body was undergoing some fundamental changes.

It was an indescribable feeling,

Unlike the will-spirit and Origin Qi of the human race, and also unlike the Life Origin and heightened senses of the Ghostified, but he could sense everything around him.

It was like a new entity created by the fusion of four different energies.

And through this vastly different sensory method, Xu Yuan suddenly discovered things he had been previously unable to sense.

For example, his connection with the Blood Divine Stone.

Luo Xiran had not lied to him; they were indeed in a symbiotic relationship.

Moreover, this symbiosis was dominated by him; without the mycotic armor, he could still exist, but if he died, the mycotic armor would wither as well.

Xu Yuan shamelessly explored this new sensorial method.

Like a near-sighted person who had regained a pair of clear eyes.

Spiritual Vision.

The pain persisted, but the benefits it brought made Xu Yuan’s heart uncontrollably excited.

He might not rival Big Ice Lump and Xu Changge, those true geniuses who could dominate an era, but he could cheat the system.

If the software doesn’t match up, maxing out the hardware can still obliterate them.

Enjoying... As he endured the dreadful pain in body and will-spirit, Xu Yuan continued to extend this new sensory method in all directions.

He sensed the Life Origin and Origin Qi within the Blood Pool, Luo Xiran’s perfect jade-like body without a single thread, the connection between him and the Blood Divine Stone....

Wait a moment.

When his spiritual vision swept across the Blood Divine Stone, Xu Yuan immediately felt alerted.

It had faded.

The connection with the Blood Divine Stone seemed to have weakened somewhat.

With his heart sinking slightly, Xu Yuan started to inspect his body with spiritual vision discreetly.

Then,

he discovered that the mycotic armor was slowly peeling away from inside his body.

Yes, peeling away.

As the Life Reversal Liquid and Life Origin continuously washed over and remodeled his shell, the mycotic armor, having absorbed the majority of the Life Origin, was also undergoing subtle changes.

It... was gradually acquiring the ability to exist independently!

"....."

Upon this realization, Xu Yuan’s blood-red eyes swept over the Blood Divine Stone impassively.

Sure enough, there were underhanded tricks...

Luo Xiran withholding some information did not surprise Xu Yuan.

If she had been fully transparent from the start, Xu Yuan would have felt even more uneasy.
