Chapter 711: Chapter 711: Preparation, Breakthrough to Nascent Soul!

This talisman is quite special, described by Ji Changchun as a Self-Combustion Talisman, which, once activated, would incinerate the body without harming anything outside of it.

Such as clothes.

After claiming the Shadowless Sword by dropping a droplet of his essence blood to make it his own, Ji Changchun then took out some elixirs from his storage bag and consumed them.

In just a moment, his complexion turned rosy.

"Phew... My life-bound Shadowless Sword was destroyed by Chu Zhongtian, I can only make do with his for now... Once I meet the ancestor, Chu Zhongtian, ah Chu Zhongtian, you will surely die!"

Laughing viciously, he picked up Senior Brother Zhu’s storage bag, casually glanced through it, set aside the elixirs found within, and transferred all the rest into his own storage bag.

"Find a place to heal, and then send a message to the ancestor... after that, let him figure out a way to take me to the Spirit Vein!"

A light of indescribable sharpness flashed in Ji Changchun’s eyes, and then he found a place to start his cultivation healing.

...

"Lu Chen, kid, you can stop now!"

Lu Chen, who was in the midst of cultivation, felt that the Spiritual Power seemed to be diminishing. Wondering what this meant, he suddenly heard the voice of the totem statue.

He snapped back to alertness, turning his internal gaze upon his Dantian, and focusing his mind upon the dead pupil pearl!

"The Spirit Vein’s Spiritual Power has already been completely absorbed by you, from now on, you can only rely on yourself!"

The totem statue spoke with a tone that sounded slightly weary.

"Rely on me?"

Lu Chen blinked in surprise, "Senior, I don’t know how to break through..."

"It’s simple," the totem statue continued, "Inside the Spirit Vein, all the Spiritual Power is stored in an area called ’Spite Heaven, Ancestral Land’. Next, I will release this power slowly. You must condense it upon the pupil pearl! Remember, this Spiritual Power must not leak out from your body, or else there is the risk of your body exploding!"

Hearing this, Lu Chen inhaled sharply, now understanding that the totem wanted him to make a breakthrough into the Nascent Soul Stage in one fell swoop!

But could he really achieve the Nascent Soul Stage?

All along, Lu Chen had felt he lacked talent.

But the problem was, it seemed there was no other choice now!

Since that was the case...

Even if it was a path shrouded in darkness, he must tread on it!

"Senior, tell me what I should do!"

Lu Chen said with focused determination.

"It’s simple. Just continue cultivating the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method, but this time, you must do it upon the pupil pearl!"

"Simple?"

Lu Chen, whose mind was currently focused on the pupil pearl, could not feel the existence of the pearl.

Instead, the embodiment of his spirit took shape before his eyes.

"Lu Chen, kid, have I told you about the Nascent Soul?"

The totem statue asked before continuing, "You can think of the Nascent Soul as another version of yourself!"

"Another version of myself?"

Lu Chen paused briefly, remembering the totem had indeed mentioned this before.

But another self, is it sculpted by Spiritual Power?

Then where does its independent consciousness come from?

Does it originate from the Purple Mansion’s sea of consciousness?

Instead of rushing into cultivation, Lu Chen started contemplating this question.

Time ticked by breath by breath.

It was unclear how long it had been.

Suddenly, Lu Chen had an epiphany.

He thought of the wooden decoy!

"The wooden decoy can provide one with an additional life. The additional life is akin to one’s own, and it can be activated just like that!"

"Recreating a body is easy, but having the body become me surely involves my own soul consciousness..."

"So, I understand now!"

Lu Chen snapped back into reality.

"Senior, we can start!"

The totem statue asked, "You understand?"

Lu Chen replied confidently, "Understood, it’s worth a try!"

"Good!"

The totem statue laughed heartily, its previous weariness swept away!

"Let’s begin then!"

As the words fell, from within the eye of the pupil pearl, a mysterious stream of Spiritual Power flowed out!

Lu Chen smiled slightly and whispered in his heart, "Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method!"

In that instant.

The Spiritual Power did not disperse but instead circled around the pupil pearl rapidly, like a ball of yarn being wound up!

A breath.

The time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

An hour.

A day.

A month!

...

In Lu Chen’s Dantian, a colossal statue’s phantom suddenly appeared!

The statue looked extremely similar to the totem but also bore Lu Chen’s likeness!

Meanwhile, the dead pupil pearl remained in the place of Lu Chen’s left eye, whereas his right eye was left hollow.
