"Since the physical body can be replaced, the primordial spirit can naturally be replaced too!"

"If the primordial spirit can leave the body, then the True Spirit must be able to leave it too!"

Shen Lang discarded all distracting thoughts, stabilizing his primordial spirit while attempting to make his True Spirit leave it.

No one knew how much time had passed before a flicker of Spiritual Light emerged from the primordial spirit.

Shen Lang was overjoyed. He had succeeded. He had truly extracted his True Spirit from his primordial spirit.

From the True Spirit's perspective, the Grand Unity Primordial Spirit was still in the Niwan Palace. However, the primordial spirit had become somewhat dull, like a puppet.

But the Grand Unity Primordial Spirit had not dispersed. It still existed!

The next moment, Shen Lang's True Spirit sank back into the Grand Unity Primordial Spirit, and it immediately came back to life.

"Once the True Spirit leaves the body while the primordial spirit remains, my method works!"

Next, Shen Lang went in and out several more times to test it. After making sure there were no accidents, he began the second step of his plan.

That was to use the True Spirit as a foundation and recreate a primordial spirit!

Just as he had used Nuwa's Nameless Cultivation Method before, this time he would use the Sword Soul Cultivation Method to recondense the Grand Unity Sword Soul Primordial Spirit!

Under Shen Lang's control, the energy within the True Body, the Green Lotus of Creation, gathered bit by bit toward the Niwan Palace, enveloping his True Spirit.

At the same time, the Sword Soul Cultivation Method began operating rapidly on its own!

Nuwa's Nameless Cultivation Method had allowed Shen Lang to condense the Grand Unity Dao Fruit in just a few breaths. The Sword Soul Cultivation Method worked the same way!

In fewer than eight breaths, a cyan sword condensed in Shen Lang's Niwan Palace.

After another eight breaths, another cyan sword condensed within the first cyan sword!

The Sword Soul Dual Primordial Spirits were forged by Shen Lang with ease, almost without any effort.

This was within Shen Lang's expectations. After all, Nuwa's Nameless Cultivation Method had worked the same way, allowing him to reach the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm in the blink of an eye.

At the time, Shen Lang had guessed that this was because the Myriad Worlds Simulator had improved the method. It had probably directly copied it, so Shen Lang did not need to worry about the process at all.

However, Shen Lang's Sword Soul Dual Primordial Spirits were somewhat different from Tongtian's.

Because of the difference in energy, Tongtian's Dual Primordial Spirits were strong on the outside and weak on the inside, with an uneven disparity in strength.

As a result, after he used the Sword Splitting Style, his cultivation realm fell directly from the True Immortal Realm to the Earth Immortal Realm.

Shen Lang's Sword Soul Dual Primordial Spirits were different. The Inner Sword and outer sword were equally powerful, and both primordial spirits were at the level of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal!

In other words, even if Shen Lang used the Sword Soul's Sword Splitting Style, his cultivation realm would not fall.

At most, he would lose one chance to unleash an explosive attack—and one life!

"Does this mean I now have three primordial spirits?"

Shen Lang was currently within the Sword Soul's Inner Sword, yet he could still clearly see the Grand Unity Dao Seed condensed by his Nameless Cultivation Method.

With a thought, Shen Lang's True Spirit returned to the humanoid Grand Unity Dao Seed. Nothing was different from before, and he could control it perfectly.

The Sword Soul Dual Primordial Spirits and the Humanoid Primordial Spirit could be switched at any time without the slightest hindrance.

"Excellent. Then it's time to begin the third step!"

Shen Lang's expression turned solemn. The next operation would have to be done personally. The simulator would no longer help him copy it.

If he wanted to directly copy the Sword Soul again, he would have to condense it anew with his True Spirit.

But that was not Shen Lang's plan. He wanted to continue condensing Sword Soul Primordial Spirits within the Sword Soul Dual Primordial Spirits!

The reason was simple. Apart from consuming the energy of his True Body, the most important thing was still preserving his life!

However, preserving one's life could not rely solely on defense!

As the saying went, the best defense was offense!

If your offense could shatter the enemy's offense, what need was there for defense? Once you attacked, the enemy would be finished!

Condensing the Sword Soul Dual Primordial Spirits had consumed two-tenths of the power of the Green Lotus of Creation's True Body.

Condensing the Grand Unity Dao Seed with Nuwa's Nameless Cultivation Method had consumed another tenth. Seven-tenths of the power still remained!

According to Shen Lang's plan, he would use all seven-tenths of that power to condense Sword Soul Primordial Spirits, refining them one by one into the original Sword Soul Primordial Spirits.

Seven-tenths of the power meant seven Sword Souls and seven primordial spirits!

Once successful, Shen Lang would possess ten primordial spirits, while the Sword Soul would possess nine primordial spirits!

Ten primordial spirits meant ten lives!

And if the nine Sword Soul Primordial Spirits were stacked together, how powerful would the Sword Splitting Style be if Shen Lang went all out?

The fusion of nine peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal primordial spirits, combined with the powerful offensive nature of the sword path—were you afraid yet?

Thus, Shen Lang began his first true self-cultivation session after arriving in the Primordial World.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Nuwa's Anxiety, Tongtian's Daoist Temple, and the Gray-Robed Daoist on Jade Capital Mountain!

The years of the Primordial World were difficult to count. Many centuries passed in the blink of an eye.

Shen Lang was unaware of time passing. His entire mind was focused on continuously condensing Sword Soul Primordial Spirits within the Sword Soul.

One sword layered over another, and there were already four!

However, the farther he progressed, the slower the condensation of each Sword Soul Primordial Spirit became.

He had to constantly balance the Sword Within the Sword. The slightest carelessness could cause the primordial spirit inside to explode, seriously injuring the primordial spirit outside as well.

It could even injure Shen Lang's True Spirit, so he could not afford the slightest negligence.

Speaking of which, Shen Lang was truly reckless. He even dared to mess around with his own True Spirit.

During the later Investiture of the Gods calamity, the disciples of the Three Teachings whose souls had been completely destroyed had all been left with only their True Spirits, which were then captured by the Investiture of the Gods.

It was precisely because their True Spirits remained that they were able to revive.

In other words, if Shen Lang damaged his own True Spirit, he would basically be finished.

As Shen Lang stacked his primordial spirits, the aura of the Chaos Green Lotus's True Body also continued to decline.

By now, the aura of the Green Lotus of Creation had already fallen by half.

The flower bud was becoming increasingly green and smaller.

The lotus leaves were the same, and the lotus root in the pool had also shrunk by a large amount.

The entire Green Lotus of Creation was deteriorating. Perhaps, in the end, it would be able to return to its origin and once again transform into a Chaos Green Lotus seed!

Was this considered eating oneself and turning oneself into a lump of protein?

Of course, this was merely energy being transformed. It did not mean that the power had disappeared.

Shen Lang was the Green Lotus of Creation, and the Green Lotus of Creation was Shen Lang. It was simply that the power of the True Body of the Green Lotus of Creation had been absorbed by the primordial spirits.

Put simply, the primordial spirits had grown stronger while the physical body had grown weaker—a transfer from one hand to the other!

The reason the world had reduced its hostility toward the Green Lotus of Creation was merely that its sudden change had caught it off guard, leaving it unable to react...

Furthermore, the True Body of the Green Lotus of Creation protected the primordial spirits and also provided a degree of isolation from the Will of the Heavenly Dao.

But once Shen Lang chose to stop playing it safe and transformed or took action, he would inevitably attract the Heavenly Dao's attention again and suffer a devastating thunderbolt strike.

This life-and-death calamity was something Shen Lang had to experience.

If he overcame it, he would soar freely through the boundless sea and sky.

If he failed, there was nothing more to say. He would vanish into thin air or return to the original trajectory in which he had been dismembered.

Nuwa and Fuxi discussed the Dao for six thousand years. Fuxi had gained greatly and had already entered deep cultivation in seclusion.

When he emerged from seclusion next time, he would very likely have condensed the Grand Unity Dao Fruit and stepped into the peak of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm in one stroke.

However, Nuwa could not calm her mind. She repeatedly entered and left seclusion.

First, she had already condensed the Grand Unity Dao Fruit and reached the end of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. From then on, she should cultivate laws.

But she had no way to begin cultivating laws and advancing toward the Primal Golden Immortal realm.

The Grand Unity Dao Fruit contained traces of the Law of Creation, but although it could be seen, it could not be grasped. Comprehending and cultivating it was far too difficult.

Yet in the current Primordial World, aside from the path of clan destiny and the world's heavenly destiny, no other methods for cultivating toward the Primal Golden Immortal realm had been passed down.

Could she go find Di Jun and Tai Yi and join the Demon Court?

Nuwa was certainly unwilling to do that, so she placed her hopes on the Myriad Worlds Simulator.

"Perhaps the Great Desolation World will give me some inspiration!"

Entering the Myriad Worlds Simulator was Nuwa's second source of anxiety.

The Myriad Worlds Simulator required ten thousand years to restart after cooling down, but only a little over six thousand years had passed.

Nearly four thousand years remained!

In the past, a few years were nothing more than a nap to Nuwa.

But these few thousand years now felt extraordinarily long!
