Starry Sky Space.
Chen Shuangbai squatted down and scooped up a handful of water from the lake formed entirely of glittering starlight. He then quickly refined the water to solidify his foundation.
"A lake formed entirely of starlight... no, it's more accurate to call it a star lake than a lake."
His gaze fell once again on the Martial Dao arts body that was quietly perched on the lake's surface. The body seemed to have lost its target and had fallen into complete stillness, its head slightly bowed, motionless.
However, Chen Shuangbai could clearly sense that this soulless body was indirectly receiving the extremely refined and condensed starlight beneath it, refining itself at an extremely slow but unwavering pace.
"No wonder my Frost Osmanthus Sword Essence couldn't damage your body, not even leave a white mark..."
Chen Shuangbai sighed slightly.
Although it's unclear how many years this physical body has remained here, considering the extremely mysterious way [ Langhuan Immortal Island ] manifested, and the fact that even the neighboring Ten Thousand Rivers Sea Sword Alliance has found very few records about this immortal island...
The Daoist clicked his tongue softly.
"I just don't know whether you were trapped here and died because you actively explored this immortal island, or whether you lost your soul for some other reason, leaving only this physical body here."
Since there is no point of reference, time has no meaning here.
Chen Shuangbai was not worried that the sect or Qingsongzi might mistakenly believe he had disappeared.
Nangu Yaohua could roughly guess what he was going to do. With such a big commotion outside and the emergence of this immortal island, a little deduction would reveal where Chen Shuangbai was now.
Looking at the Martial Dao body before him, surrounded by a faint aura of death and brimming with astonishing potential, Chen Shuangbai had a new idea in his mind.
"Since it is nothingness... why not spare a wisp of its spirit and let it reside in the Palace of Destiny, and see if it can be transformed for my own use?"
If this physical body still had an owner, Chen Shuangbai wouldn't have had such a thought.
However, this physical body is now without a master, leaving only the physical form.
Perhaps no one will care, and after many years, its internal circulation will gradually collapse, and it will eventually turn into a handful of yellow earth.
All right.
Chen Shuangbai had to admit that she was indeed tempted and had developed a greedy desire.
A Martial Dao body possessing 80% of its former strength at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, further refined by countless years of starlight, its physical strength has likely reached an unbelievable level.
If one could make it work for oneself, it would be tantamount to having an additional Martial Dao clone with the strength of Nascent Soul Middle Stage!
More importantly, this physical body is not dominated by a divine soul and will not generate any resistance.
Theoretically, if one can successfully inhabit a spirit within it, one can control it like a magical Law Treasure.
certainly.
Theoretically speaking, it is not without any risks.
Based on the cultivation notes of so many senior cultivators he had read, this ownerless physical body might spontaneously generate a new spirit after a long period of time. If it has enough time to evolve, it will transform into a new divine soul and become a new individual.
"As things stand, no new spirituality has yet developed within this physical body."
His mind raced, and he made up his mind.
He stood up, walked to the physical body, and bowed deeply, saying, "Senior, I have been disrespectful."
That's all.
Chen Shuangbai closed her eyes slightly, her consciousness sinking into her sea of consciousness. She drew upon a wisp of the [ Great Yin Dao Fruit ]'s radiance, which enveloped a wisp of her differentiated spirit, and slowly drifted out from between her eyebrows.
This wisp of spirit was extremely weak, as if it would dissipate with a gust of wind. However, it was enveloped by the radiance of the Dao Fruit, and like a mayfly, it slowly burrowed into the space between the eyebrows of the seated Martial Dao arts body.
Like a drop of water merging into a deep pool in the mountains.
In an instant.
Countless fragments of memory, still lingering in the body's instincts, lit up one by one from this dark sea of consciousness.
Like shattered pieces of a mirror, they were displayed one by one before Chen Shuangbai.
From the boy in hemp clothing beneath the majestic mountain gate, to the radiant young man clad in gold robes.
From his initial ignorance, frequently angering his master, to later becoming Nascent Soul True Lord could shatter mountains and rivers with his fists and tread upon stars with his feet.
Chen Shuangbai's consciousness, like an observer, glimpsed the brilliant, fragmented, and short-lived life of this Martial Dao Nascent Soul True Lord, whose real name was Zhongli Qing, through these mottled and hazy memories.
Finally, the image freezes on him sitting alone atop the mountain, gazing at the sea of clouds and the sunrise, his eyes revealing a longing for the other side of the Great Way.
Buzz!
The Palace of Destiny opened at that moment, and Chen Shuangbai's wisp of spirit slowly drifted into it.
There was no resistance, no rejection.
Or perhaps, this soulless Martial Dao arts body has long been waiting for a new spirit to inhabit it.
Buzz!
Before long, golden light began to rise from the Martial Dao arts body that was sitting cross-legged on the surface of Starlight Lake, causing the Starlight Lake below to boil violently. Countless starlight condensed into tiny pillars of light that shot into the sky, illuminating the entire starry sea space!
Chen Shuangbai dispelled her Hide Form and stood quietly not far away.
A moment later.
The soulless body that had been sitting cross-legged there opened its eyes once more.
But these were not empty, lifeless eyes; rather, they were extremely sharp, a pair of eyes that shone like golden light, seemingly radiating boundless power and fierce courage.
"Stand up."
Chen Shuangbai himself said softly,
The body slowly stood up, and the golden light that was eager to shine on it burst forth completely in the process, like a golden beam that shot straight into the sky. After a long time, it slowly subsided and returned to calm.
The physical body raised its hands, and its gaze fell upon them. The joints were distinct and flawless, like white jade. The powerful Martial Dao Qi and Blood was locked beneath this perfect body, and with the slightest movement, it seemed as if a thunderous force was about to erupt.
"You've just woken up, so it's understandable that you're a bit rusty. Once you get used to it, you'll be able to control it easily."
Chen Shuangbai himself spoke.
The physical body nodded slightly, then opened its mouth and uttered a few hoarse sounds, "Thank you..."
His handsome face furrowed slightly, then he gently pinched his neck and throat with his right hand, and spoke freely in a steady and clear voice, saying, "Thank you, Your Excellency!"
Chen Shuangbai looked at the Martial Dao clone before him with satisfaction in his eyes, but inwardly he sighed:
"I didn't expect it to be this person."
Based on the fragments of memory she had just witnessed, and given Chen Shuangbai's extensive knowledge and sharp mind, she successfully deduced the person's identity.
In the medieval period, he was one of the few holy sects in the Celebrated Splendor Continent and an important successor of the Divine Yang Sect.
He Nascent Soul his Nascent Soul as a pure Martial Dao cultivator, reaching the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. He cultivated the direct lineage of the Divine Yang Sect, and was Zhongli Pan, who was later revered as the Divine Yang Martial Lord.
