Dao Integration II
Back in the courtyard, they activated the array, spread the Devil Incense, and performed the Dharma Seal, making all the necessary preparations.
Lin Hui then sat down cross-legged and carefully sensed the changes in his soul.
This sitting lasted for ten days.
His soul gradually calmed down, and his body gradually stabilized. The wisp of Colloidal Dissociation Wind Energy nurtured by the three Nether Seed was now hundreds of times greater than it had been ten years ago.
They were spread all over Lin Hui's body, even his soul was completely saturated, and no more could be added.
"After this, even within the Thunder King Sect, I'll be considered to be at a low level... It's taken so many years to reach this point; the difficulty of cultivation is truly indescribable."
He sighed inwardly, watching as all the Colloidal Dissociation Wind Energy within his body began to tremble slowly, undergoing some strange change.
This tremor gave rise to entirely new changes, completely altering the structure of the soul.
The internal operating structure behind him began to be gradually reconstructed in response to this influence from the outside in.
Lin Hui quietly sensed the changes in his soul, his consciousness gradually beginning to blur.
The soul is the source of consciousness and the root of all cognition; the process of reconstruction will inevitably affect consciousness and perception.
This is an inevitable process.
Based on the lessons learned from Dinisha and the advice he received from his teacher Seven Extinctions, Lin Hui already had a clear understanding of the process of change. He was confident that everything would fall into place once the reconstruction was completed.
but..
Laugh!
Suddenly, Lin Hui's gradually dimming consciousness became clear again.
He opened his eyes and looked around.
It was pitch black all around.
Thick, hot, and dark.
Unable to see.
"Here it is.?"
Lin Hui knew very well that at his current level of energy, even temperatures of hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius would not affect him. A temperature that could make him feel scorching heat would have to be at least tens of millions of degrees Celsius.
In particular, he possesses Immortal Fire, making him immune to most fire-related effects.
And now...
"Wait!" Suddenly, a guess flashed through Lin Hui's mind.
If normal high temperatures don't affect him, then what about abnormal ones?
He looked around, feeling the waves of heat emanating from him.
Back in the human world, he absorbed and learned a great deal of knowledge and disciplines from the three races, and had a general understanding of the Source Disaster major calamities.
In particular, the Endless Divine Clan' research into the Source Disaster calamities far surpasses that of others.
This led him to vaguely guess where he was at this moment.
"Drought Disaster?"
Lin Hui stretched out his hand and found that his palm was also dark red, composed of burning flames.
He looked down and discovered that his entire body was constructed from this dark red flame.
hiss.
Just then, he suddenly noticed that something seemed to be Microflash above his head.
Tilt your head back.
Lin Hui strained to sense the light rising from the endless darkness.
In the dim light, he saw a tiny white flash, flickering and illuminating the scorching, completely dark void.
The white flash was like a pure white star, incomparably pure, pristine, and without any impurities.
Just gazing at him stirred a faint longing and yearning within him.
It was as if those stars represented all the most beautiful people and things in one's imagination.
"White Star... no, it's White Star!!" In an instant, Lin Hui suddenly woke up, regained his senses, and rapidly contracted all his divine consciousness, not daring to look any longer.
The next second, his vision blurred, and he found himself back in his courtyard, surrounded by a faint wisp of Wind Disaster and radiation, as if the scorching heat from before had been nothing but an illusion.
Huff... huff...
Lin Hui gasped for breath, sensing that his soul had been completely transformed.
An unprecedented sense of immense abundance permeated my entire body at all times.
With a casual grab, the Wind Energy released from his palm automatically transformed into a thick, gel-like Wind Energy.
Its power is so great that it looks much stronger than before.
But none of this was enough to soothe his feelings at that moment.
Upon closer inspection, Lin Hui suddenly noticed that the Colloidal Dissociation Wind Energy in his hand actually contained some fine, sand-like black specks inside. Apart from these, the temperature of this Colloidal Dissociation Wind Energy was also much higher than before.
He clearly did not practice any thermal energy techniques or any such secret arts.
But this Wind Energy underwent a strange change on its own.
Lin Hui dispersed that wisp of Wind Energy, and soon released another wisp. Just like before, the black dots and high temperatures were all automatically carried away.
Moreover, upon closer inspection, he discovered that, in addition to the radiation from the decomposition of wind Wind Energy itself, the high temperatures and black spots also carried another type of Disaster Energy radiation that seemed somewhat familiar to him.
After a long period of identification, Lin Hui's expression turned somber, and he dissipated the Wind Energy.
"It really is the power of the Drought... When I fought Zhu Liping and Yun, they were emanating this kind of power." "It seems that because of the Undying Flame, I have also been targeted by the Drought... And that white star... It looks a lot like the White Star in the Drought..." He had never seen it with his own eyes, nor had he ever come into contact with it. He only knew a few characteristics of the White Star from the information collected by the Endless Gods.
Pure, pristine, tiny yet strikingly bright, surrounded by scorching heat and darkness, only that single point of white shimmering overhead.
This is how many people who have been targeted by White Star described their feelings.
"That's great, now that I've made a move, I'm basically radiating both Wind Disaster and Drought Disaster effects. This will definitely boost future development..." Lin Hui tested it repeatedly, confirming that he was indeed being targeted by Drought Disaster.
The Immortal Fire devoured most of the Burning Shadow's essence, and the effects seem to be beginning to manifest.
It's hard to say for sure yet; this manifestation could be positive or negative.
Lin Hui decided to temporarily classify White Star as a threat and include her in the subsequent Blood Seal evolution plan.
He stood up, stretched his whole body, and felt the subtle changes as he entered the Colloidal Dissociation.
"His body density is higher, and his usual attacks are more powerful, feeling more like a normalized, high-energy state. But the consumption of his soul has also increased. Indeed, this seems more like preparing for a potential stage to come. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense to go through all that trouble just to enter such a high-energy-consuming state."
"Next, it's my turn to choose among those who have attained Dao..." Lin Hui thought to himself.
He definitely wouldn't choose the minor path or the major path; he had no other choice. Where would he find world spheres and great realms around him?
And the path of disaster, the heretical path.
"Well, actually, the path forward has already been decided." Lin Hui thought for a moment, then gave a wry smile.
His path was destined from the moment he decided to step out of his control over the Wind Disaster.
What he chose was to transform the Wind Disaster into Wind Energy, and completely take control of it.
Therefore, in essence, the path he chose is the path of disaster!
What it integrates is pure Wind Energy that it transforms itself!
The moment he made up his mind, Lin Hui trembled violently. His divine soul suddenly disintegrated, turning into countless blue light spots that merged into the Colloidal Dissociation Wind Energy within his entire body.
At this moment, the Colloidal Dissociation Wind Energy paused for a moment, then continued to decompose, turning into countless dark blue light spots that flew out of Lin Hui's body at high speed. After flying a short distance away from Lin Hui, they quietly disappeared.
This is the latter half of the method of the Sky-Piercing Void Absorption Seal— the Unity of the Dao.
Countless deep blue light spots, formed by the fusion of Lin Hui's divine soul, were rapidly merging into all the converted Wind Energy at an unimaginable speed. Following a strange dimensional connection to the Disaster Energy, he disregarded time and spatial distance, completing the complete fusion of all the previous Wind Energy in just a few seconds.
Silently and without warning, this newly born Wind Energy -Wind Disaster generating anomaly now has a master.
However, because its size was still too small and it was located in the courtyard of the Heartless Belt with too many layers of isolation, no one noticed this permanent change. From this moment on, Wind Energy was Lin Hui, and Lin Hui was Wind Energy.
All external Wind Energy, at its core, is Lin Hui. No one who controls Wind Energy can harm him.
Any cultivation or enhancement of Wind Energy contributes to the enhancement of Lin Hui's power.
Although Wind Energy is still very weak, its future...
In the courtyard, Lin Hui slowly opened his eyes. At this moment, he no longer had a soul in his body, and this body was just a shell.
The only way to kill him now that we have achieved Dao integration is to completely eliminate all the Wind Energy that has been transformed.
"Is this the power of achieving Dao Integration?" Lin Hui wondered to himself.
After achieving Dao integration, anyone who wants to completely kill a Dao-integrated person must destroy the person they were meant to integrate with along with them.
The minor path connects to a small world sphere, the major path is a large realm, the calamity path corresponds to calamities, and the external path is the indestructible Black Domain void. Theoretically, it's not without reason that the external path is the most difficult. Because the Black Domain is indestructible, it means that the strong who choose the external path are almost immortal. Physically, it cannot be destroyed.
"Unless a powerful figure at the spacetime distortion level intervenes to reverse the situation, completely separating the Dao Integration cultivator from the connected Black Domain void before annihilating them, otherwise... with other low-level methods, this realm is basically indestructible." Lin Hui sighed inwardly.
Below the Colloidal Dissociation, the difference is truly like heaven and earth.
No wonder Teacher Seven Extinctions was able to easily crush his previous opponents as soon as he broke through.
"My only Achilles' heel right now is Wind Energy. If Wind Energy is discovered and destroyed, it will be catastrophic for me. So... I have to be extremely cautious."
Suppressing his inner turmoil, Lin Hui stood up and calmly flew out of the courtyard.
A three-dimensional map of the entire Thunder King Sect automatically materialized before their eyes.
Over the years, he has basically figured out the entire structure of the Thunder King Sect.
The entire sect appears to be an extremely normal Daoist sect complex.
It is divided into three areas according to three parts.
Each area contains many rooms and pavilions; these are the different sub-halls.
Each room in the branch hall may contain a vast void.
Everything looked much like that of a typical major Daoist sect.
However... the proportion was exaggerated too much.
Those who walk within this sect are mostly at the level of deputy hall masters and hall masters, and their height and width are measured in hundreds of light-years. As for those below that level, they are no different from small flying insects, and those even below that are at the level of bacteria and viruses. Even if they flew right up to the faces of these hall masters, they would be ignored.
Not long ago, some disciples of the Guangxin Hall were accidentally inhaled by a passing temple master, who then took them inside his body for a tour before expelling them through his nostrils.
His experience was extremely fantastical.
The temple master didn't notice anything amiss from beginning to end, because it was too small.
Unless they use magic, nothing such a small disciple can affect them in the slightest, neither positively nor negatively.
"Essentially, this is far, far greater than the difference between livestock farmers and poultry."
Lin Hui out of the courtyard, quickly aimed at the ground below, and under the cover of his new technique, rapidly cut off a portion of his aura fluctuations and transferred them to the massive alchemy furnace.
Anyway, the furnace is always burning with a raging fire, and the power fluctuations are extremely chaotic, so no one cares if there's a little more or less.
Soon, Lin Hui's aura rapidly declined, and in a short while, it returned to its previous lowly level.
After doing all this, he turned around with satisfaction, preparing to return to the courtyard.
But at that moment, a somewhat familiar figure entered his senses.
Night Sound Master.
Amidst the massive and chaotic fluctuations of the alchemy furnace, he happened to pass by, and Lin Hui failed to detect his presence in time.
Thus, they watched the entire process of Lin Hui unleashing the Ten Thousand Spirits Return to One Art.
Although he couldn't quite understand what was happening, he could still clearly see Lin Hui's aura weaken from strong to weak.
To avoid misunderstandings, he also promptly concealed his presence and aura.
Unfortunately, his method of concealing his presence was meaningless to Lin Hui in the present moment.
Therefore, Lin Hui's gaze fell directly on him without any obstruction.
Night Sound Master froze, standing there motionless for a moment.
The two remained silent, neither speaking first.
"You just saw that, didn't you?" A few minutes later, Lin Hui asked telepathically, a half-smile playing on his lips.
... Night Sound Master's expression was solemn, and her body had unconsciously become highly tense.
