Snowy Night Chapter 19: Super Expert (Part 1)

"Don't use your Innate True Qi to protect your brain!" Xiang Yu warned.

Li Yang immediately said, "I understand that. If I resist, that old man with the white beard will definitely find out, and then he definitely won't give me the Gene Potion. But if I don't resist, how can I keep my memories without him finding out? What do you think, Overlord?" Li Yang's tone was strange. He understood that Xiang Yu was telling him not to resist, so Xiang Yu must have a way to keep his memories without alerting Bai Yang.

Xiang Yu arrogantly declared, "That's simple, of course. Just let my Primordial Spirit envelop your soul, and then let that old man do whatever he wants. Hmph, his meager power can't shake my Primordial Spirit. I'll just slightly control your energy fluctuations to make him think he succeeded!"

Immediately, Li Yang felt a boundless, powerful energy envelop his consciousness.

Bai Yang's eyes snapped open, a sharp glint flashing within them. It was as if the entire laboratory lit up for a moment. Then, Bai Yang let out a cold shout, "Absorb!"

The inscribed character 'Soul' instantly shot into Li Yang's body.

"For a Houtian brat, clearing his memories is incredibly easy. If it were an expert at the Xiantian Stage, it would be a bit troublesome. Fortunately, this kid just reached the peak of Houtian and hasn't entered the Xiantian Realm yet," Bai Yang muttered to himself. His Spiritual Sense continuously probed Li Yang's condition. Suddenly, an energy fluctuation occurred, and a smile appeared on Bai Yang's face.

"Excellent, now I can give him the b1 Gene Potion!" Bai Yang took out a small box from his embrace, containing a bottle of b1 Gene Potion.

"Overlord, is this power enveloping me your Primordial Spirit power?" Li Yang's consciousness asked, feeling that powerful energy with awe.

Xiang Yu proudly replied, "Of course, this is my Primordial Spirit power. However, my current Primordial Spirit power is in its weakest state, not even one ten-thousandth of what it was." Xiang Yu clearly wanted to boast a little, letting Li Yang know how powerful he used to be.

Li Yang was indeed stunned. Such boundless power was less than one ten-thousandth of his past strength. Just how powerful was Xiang Yu in the past?

"When will I be able to reach this realm?" Li Yang asked, filled with both emotion and longing.

Xiang Yu arrogantly said, "Hmph, Li Yang, you brat. You haven't even reached the Nascent Soul Stage yet, and you're already thinking of reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm. You're truly aiming too high."

"Nascent Soul? Primordial Spirit? What do those mean?" Li Yang was immediately confused.

Xiang Yu explained, "No matter who it is, the most fundamental power is the soul. The soul has three tiers, or rather, as far as we know, there are three tiers. The first tier is your current situation, which belongs to the 'consciousness' of mortals. At this stage, the soul has no power. However, as one's cultivation increases, the soul gradually becomes stronger. After reaching the Golden Core Stage, the soul's power will be strong enough to produce 'Spiritual Sense.'

The second tier is the Nascent Soul. Upon reaching the Nascent Soul Stage, the soul undergoes a qualitative change, reaching the second tier, the Nascent Soul. The Nascent Soul has the ability to absorb energy independently and can even exist outside the body, while consciousness cannot exist outside the body.

The third tier is my situation, the Primordial Spirit! The Primordial Spirit can only gradually form after reaching the Great Accomplishment Stage. The power of the Primordial Spirit will produce 'Divine Sense,' and the power of Divine Sense will far surpass 'Spiritual Sense.'"

After listening, Li Yang understood a lot. Suddenly, Li Yang's heart stirred, and he immediately asked, "Ah, Overlord, since you have cultivated a Primordial Spirit, why are you still in this realm? Nascent Souls can absorb energy independently, so why don't you absorb energy independently and break through Shattering the Void to enter the Demon Realm? Most importantly, Nascent Souls can leave the body and exist independently, so Primordial Spirits should also be able to! But why have you been staying with me? Am I, Li Yang, really that attractive?" Li Yang finally voiced his doubts.

Xiang Yu listened and thought for a long time before replying, "My Primordial Spirit can absorb energy independently, but the Primordial Spirit should not exist in this realm. Cultivators who reach the Great Accomplishment Stage gradually form a Primordial Spirit, and the upper realm will discover them and recruit them into the upper realm. This is what is called Shattering the Void. However, I cannot appear in the outside world."

"Why? Oh, right, your current Primordial Spirit power is only one ten-thousandth of your past strength. Is that related to this matter?" Li Yang's heart stirred as he asked.

Xiang Yu sighed, "Yes, it was a great battle, a battle in the mortal realm. Alas, if it weren't for... forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. In short, I, the Overlord of the Demon Realm, lost that battle, so Earth, one of the countless planets in the mortal realm, belongs to the Immortal Realm. As soon as I appear in the world, they will discover me, and they will definitely come to hunt me down. This is also why I haven't been absorbing energy to strengthen my Primordial Spirit. Once my Primordial Spirit power reaches the limit of the mortal realm, they will discover me too."

"That's why my Primordial Spirit has been attached to a stone from the beginning and has never come out. My Primordial Spirit didn't dare to leave the stone. Later, you wore this stone, and I took the opportunity to enter your body. Within your brain, as long as my energy doesn't reach the limit of the mortal realm, the Immortal Realm won't discover me. So, I can only hope that you can survive the Heavenly Tribulation, and then the Demon Realm will automatically absorb you, and I can take the opportunity to enter it."

Li Yang became even more confused, "Since this is a planet controlled by the Immortal Realm, won't the Immortal Realm send people to kill me, a cultivator of demonic arts, once I survive the Heavenly Tribulation?"

"Hahaha... Li Yang, you're mistaken. There are agreements between the realms. No one who ascends, whether they cultivate demonic arts, immortal arts, Buddhist arts, or demonic beast arts, can be obstructed. These are the regulations of the realms. However, I am not an ascender, so I will definitely be hunted!" Xiang Yu said.

Li Yang asked in confusion, "Oh, so you're not an ascender, Overlord. Can you also take the opportunity to enter the Demon Realm with me?"

"Of course. Don't you know the saying 'one person attains the Tao, and his poultry and dogs ascend to heaven'? As long as one person can ascend, he can even bring others who haven't reached the Great Accomplishment Stage. Of course, the prerequisite is that he must be able to protect others, as the chaotic power during Shattering the Void is not small," Xiang Yu replied, astonishing Li Yang.

'One person attains the Tao, and his poultry and dogs ascend to heaven' – such a saying actually exists!

"Ah!" Suddenly, a wave of intense pain made Li Yang's soul tremble.

What was going on?

It was because the Gene Potion had entered Li Yang's body...

Once the Gene Potion entered his body, it transformed into black energy. The black energy surged wildly throughout Li Yang's body, and his muscles seemed to be catalyzed, constantly evolving, and his strength increased continuously.

The increase in muscle strength should have been gradual, but this Gene Potion clearly intended to achieve success in one go, increasing muscle energy in a short period.

Although the speed of energy increase was accelerated, the accompanying intense pain made Li Yang unable to bear it. It was a stimulation that penetrated deep into the bones and into the deepest cells of his muscles!

The pain pierced his nerves, and his soul was greatly affected!

"Endure!" Li Yang's mind urged himself...
