The appearance of this Dharma Aspect form was indeed somewhat frightening; even Li Xingkong himself felt it was a bit menacing after experiencing it for a while.
Such a change is a bit too drastic.
Dharma Aspect, the Dharma Form is only in battle mode; in normal times, it can still maintain its original appearance. Otherwise, Li Xingkong was afraid he would be the first to not be able to stand looking at that ferocious appearance for too long.
After mastering the Dharma Aspect, a wondrous feeling arose in his heart.
If the relationship between a cultivator's Nascent Soul and physical body is like the relationship between a player and their character, then this Dharma Aspect is equivalent to the character's original abilities being transferred to the player.
Li Xingkong pointed, and a clone materialized in front of him.
By switching his consciousness to the clone, Li Xingkong did not deliberately use the Ingestion Spell, but he only needed to look at it for a moment to discover that this casually created clone already possessed the Ingestion Spell.
If it were just a clone, it wouldn't be anything special.
But in fact, the impact goes far beyond that. It means that as long as it is Li Xingkong, whether it is a clone, a reincarnation, or a possessor, all his abilities do not need to be relearned; they are innate.
even...
Li Xingkong narrowed his eyes.
The Primordial Universe.
On a remote planet, in a laboratory, an embryo immersed in a large test tube opened its eyes.
"There really is..."
The tiny embryo opened its eyes. Although its newly developed eyes did not yet have the ability to sense light, it could already vaguely perceive its surroundings.
"As expected, the power of Nascent Soul is far more complex than he thought."
That's right, within this tiny, nascent embryo lies Li Xingkong's consciousness.
The construction of the Dharma Aspect is secondary; at the moment of constructing the Dharma Aspect, a strong connection is established between Li Xingkong's soul and his name.
Although Li Xingkong's previous Name-Calling Rebirth Technique allowed him to search for people in the Primordial Universe who called his name within the server's range and use the server's power to create clones to arrive at the scene, it was ultimately a passive process that required someone to call him.
After the Dharma Aspect was constructed, Li Xingkong established a truly strong connection with the name that pointed to him.
For example, right now, this embryo may only contain a trace of Li Xingkong's DNA, and it is being used as a test subject to study Li Xingkong.
In this experiment, it was used as a substitute for Li Xingkong.
For this reason, Li Xingkong sensed its presence, and he can now actually enter this body.
Upon arrival, the embryo, which had already begun to resemble a human, immediately underwent a transformation.
Although it was just an ordinary embryo, without the influence of Magic Power, and would eventually develop into just an ordinary person without any trace of cultivation, the Ingestion Spell, which had already become Dharma Aspect form, immediately took effect on the physical body the moment Li Xingkong's consciousness descended.
Although Li Xingkong knew that given his demonstrated abilities, many forces were definitely interested in him, he was still surprised by the sheer number of them.
Throughout the entire Primordial Universe, countless experiments were conducted against Li Xingkong.
Li Xingkong simply selected one of the test sites randomly.
Since we're already here, wouldn't it be a waste not to do something?
The tiny embryo opened its mouth, and the nutrient solution surrounding it began to pour back into its body.
The Ingestion Spell directly stimulated the embryo, causing it to develop, grow, and enlarge at a visible speed, as if the fast-forward button had been pressed.
The nutrient solution storage tank next to it was as if a water pump had been thrown in, and the nutrient solution inside was quickly pumped out.
In less than five minutes, an adult body appeared in the test tube, while the nutrient solution inside had dried up.
Li Xingkong tested the body. Although it had not cultivated, under the effect of the Ingestion Spell, it had completed the tempering of the body and generated a few Magic Power on its own.
"Great, it's been a long time since I've felt this way."
Li Xingkong tested his hand, pressing down on the test tube, which cracked instantly.
An urgent alarm sounded in the laboratory, and Li Xingkong also heard the commotion of people rushing to the scene.
However, this was only a temporary body, and Li Xingkong didn't care much about it.
He picked up the shattered test tube fragments, examined their composition for a moment, and then put them in his mouth.
The Ingestion Spell was activated, and the test tube fragment was ground into powder after entering Li Xingkong's mouth, then fell into his stomach.
With the activation of the Ingestion Spell and Li Xingkong consumption of whatever he could find, his physical strength began to increase at an extremely rapid pace.
As the soldiers who arrived after receiving the alarm pushed open the door and swarmed to see what was happening inside the laboratory, Li Xingkong had already eaten most of the edible food in the lab.
"The test subject has escaped; begin the capture and anesthesia process."
The soldiers who stormed into the laboratory raised their weapons and spat out bursts of ink.
The ink, containing a large amount of anesthetic, swept towards Li Xingkong.
"Go"
Li Xingkong waved his hand, sending the ink that was being swept towards him flying back the way it came, covering many people in the process.
Despite wearing protective suits, they couldn't stay awake for long after getting covered in ink and immediately fell asleep.
Li Xingkong ignored them and instead focused his Divine Sense on this body.
He clearly brought over the effects of the Ingestion Spell without any error.
It really works!
Li Xingkong continued eating unhurriedly, stuffing all sorts of odds and ends into his mouth.
Once Li Xingkong had consumed a certain amount and confirmed that the Ingestion Spell was working correctly, he chose to self-destruct.
This body was artificially matured, so Li Xingkong naturally wasn't too heartbroken.
With a deafening roar, the body and the laboratory it was in were reduced to ashes.
Although Li Xingkong didn't mind people studying him, it was all done behind his back.
He had already discovered it, and seen it with his own eyes, so there was naturally no need to keep it.
After testing the effects of the Dharma Aspect, Li Xingkong's consciousness returned to where he had been in seclusion.
As expected, aside from the fusion of supernatural powers and magic, the Dharma Aspect indeed has additional functions.
The soul governs the entire body, while the Dharma Aspect, within the same world, governs the collection representing Li Xingkong.
From this perspective, this Dharma Aspect already has the shadow of a concept, and may be only a hair's breadth away from the so-called concept.
Thinking about what he had seen and heard since arriving in the Primordial World, Li Xingkong seemed to be deep in thought.
After advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, everything I saw and heard told me that after Nascent Soul immortal, the content of cultivation had detached from the physical body and soul, and was moving closer to the so-called concept.
Whether it was the Spring Breeze and Transforming Rain he had encountered himself, or the different concepts held by his fellow disciples, Li Xingkong felt that he had grasped the core of his next stage of cultivation.
Li Xingkong gained a clearer understanding of what it meant to become an immortal.
The system's explanation is incomplete; after all, it's not a deity itself.
The purpose of becoming an immortal is to transform one's mode of existence into a concept, a form that no longer relies on matter or energy.
