"Namo Amitabha Buddha!" Daoji gazed at Chen Luo with a beaming smile. He was the Book Spirit Chen Luo had written, and his heart was naturally connected to Chen Luo's, so he naturally knew Chen Luo's plan.
"Should the Tathagata condense the Retribution Body now, or rest for a while?" the Book Spirit Daoji asked.
Hearing Daoji's question, Chen Luo pressed his palms together. "Now. Thank you for your effort, Master Daoji."
"I wouldn't dare accept such praise!" Daoji returned the salute, then transformed into a streak of golden light and shot directly into the center of Chen Luo's brows.
Chen Luo immediately closed his eyes as well and began cultivating the Retribution Body.
Using the Book Spirit Daoji as the Retribution Body did not mean that Chen Luo directly erased the Book Spirit Daoji's consciousness. It was more like guiding Daoji in cultivating the Three Bodies Method.
There was a crucial point here: the relationship between the Book Spirit and Chen Luo.
Although the Book Spirit had manifested from Heavenly Dao Power, the essence of its existence was still the mental energy Chen Luo had invested while writing the article. It was like making pottery: Chen Luo provided the clay and the mold, while Heavenly Dao Power used the mold to shape the clay completely.
Thus, the Book Spirit was an innate existence with form but no substance. Its roots still lay with Chen Luo. It could be viewed as Chen Luo splitting off a small portion of his soul to take a course at the Heavenly Dao, then graduating and returning.
Because of this relationship, although the Book Spirit appeared to be an independent individual, in essence, its soul still maintained a root-and-flower connection with Chen Luo's. Naturally, there was no obstacle to cultivating Chen Luo's Three Bodies
