"Urgh..."
Shen Luo felt an unbearable tightness in his throat and could not help letting out a groan of pain, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.
According to the Medicine Immortal Collection, a Lifebound Parasite shared an extremely close connection with its host, almost a symbiotic relationship. Ordinary Gu masters implanted their Lifebound Parasites in childhood, strengthening that connection as they grew together while also reducing the Gu Insect's backlash.
To truly bring out the Origin-Fusing Gu's abilities, he had to make it his Lifebound Parasite. But Shen Luo and the Origin-Fusing Gu were merging midway through their lives, so the severity of the backlash went without saying.
The Origin-Fusing Gu slowly burrowed into Shen Luo's spine, its body merging into it bit by bit.
Shen Luo's body convulsed. The pain in his spine swiftly spread throughout him, until every part of his body felt as though it were being pierced by countless red-hot needles.
He stubbornly endured it, silently circulating the Yellow Emperor Inner Canon to ease the torment.
Only after an unknown length of time did the excruciating pain gradually subside. Shen Luo slowly exhaled, his body somewhat drained, but a flicker of joy crossed his face.
The Origin-Fusing Gu had merged with his body and become his Lifebound Parasite.
Shen Luo circulated the Huangting Scripture, quickly recovering from his physical and mental exhaustion. He spread his hands, drawing in the five-element spiritual energy in the air, the yin energy underground, baleful energy, and all manner of other primal energies.
He activated the Origin-Fusing Gu, and a suction force emerged from it, absorbing all those energies.
The Origin-Fusing Gu grew slightly larger and began wriggling rapidly. Then a stream of pure primal energy flowed from its tail, merging into his body through his spine.
