A Head as Light as a Goose

What did you bring?

Lu Changzhi's expression shifted, somewhat surprised.

In just an hour and a half, could it be that they have achieved something through their joint efforts?

"Ta-da!"

The system provided a voiceover, and the next moment, a flash of light passed before Lu Changzhi's eyes.

Lu Changzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, and when the light faded, his brows furrowed into a deep knot.

"System, what the hell is this?"

Within that light, there was a lifelike head of himself...

Apart from its head, there was nothing else; it stood alone like a ball, suspended in mid-air, quite eerily.

"Master, how is it? Are you satisfied?"

System audio channels.

Lu Changzhi remained silent for a moment.

Give me a reason to be satisfied.

"Yes, Master."

After the system finished speaking, it paused slightly, and then said:

"It can help its master avoid the hardships of cultivation, saving a great deal of energy and time, and allowing them to unknowingly complete their comprehension of the laws of Earthly Dao."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi's expression shifted.

"That makes sense... but..."

Lu Changzhi's voice suddenly paused:

"It seems I haven't practiced much cultivation either?"

The system paused for a moment, then explained:

"Master, comprehension and cultivation are two different things. After reaching the Saint Realm, one needs to comprehend the laws of heaven and earth to improve one's mastery of them, thereby increasing one's strength."

"After reaching the Saint Realm, advancement in realm can bring a certain increase in strength, but the increase in strength is not solely dependent on advancement in realm. Comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth is also extremely important."

After a brief pause, the system continued:

"Furthermore, it needs to be even more special for the owner."

"Oh?"

Lu Changzhi's Way:

"What makes it special?"

He already knew what the system had said earlier.

That's why he wasn't in too much of a hurry about his cultivation level.

"The Seed of Chaos."

The system will give a notification:

"The perfection of the Seed of Chaos depends on everyone's understanding of the laws of Earthly Dao, and then on continuous improvement based on that understanding, ultimately completing the corresponding creation. Although the master, as Five Elements Sacred Physique, has a considerable advantage in comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, it is more like a burden under the requirements of comprehending the Seed of Chaos. This is precisely to lighten the master's burden."

"The Seed of Chaos?"

Lu Changzhi let out a soft murmur.

In truth, the Seed of Chaos has indeed become much more abundant than it was at the beginning, such as the laws of thunder and water, but that is all.

There hasn't been much progress.

Now, the system has brought this up again.

"Why did you suddenly think of doing this for me?" Lu Changzhi asked abruptly.

"I mentioned it to you before, Master. Now that Xiao Ye is here, everyone who has Tongtong is contributing their share, so I brought her here for you."

"Was that mentioned before?"

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment.

Um.

The system is making too many empty promises.

I might as well stop worrying about it.

Since they're here, let's take them.

"But why not give it a body? There's only a head..."

Lu Changzhi gently shook his head.

To be honest, it has a somewhat creepy feel to it.

"Master, the key to comprehension lies in contemplation. Following the principle of conserving energy, these are sufficient."

"Alright then." Lu Changzhi shook his head.

"How do you use this?"

"Just like External Avatar, the master controls it with their mind, placing it in a place where they can meditate, and then they can meditate continuously," the system replied.

Lu Changzhi glanced at the name.

Um.

That's true.

Your name clearly indicates that you are [External Avatar].

The mind entered, and then in the void, the head suddenly opened its eyes.

Unlike its own features, this head had dark golden lines deep within its eyes, giving it a rather mysterious appearance.

"Is this what it feels like to have only one head?"

Lu Changzhi thought to himself:

"Truly, he was as light as... no, as light-headed as a wild goose."

After examining it for a while, Lu Changzhi also discovered that this head still possessed the characteristic of External Avatar.

It can change its appearance and disguise itself.

After turning it into an inconspicuous large bluestone, Lu Changzhi felt it looked much better.

"It seems I still need to find a place for contemplation."

After saying that, Lu Changzhi temporarily put his head away.

The Extreme Arms Holy Land.

The Land of the Four Directions Heavenly Treasure Pavilion are located in different areas.

"The prophecy left Divination Knows this Prophet in the Land of the Four Directions seems to refer more to our Heavenly Treasure Pavilion," Sun Yi said, looking at Chen Kun.

"To the Land of the Four Directions, we can indeed be considered an external force."

Chen Kun nodded, then said:

"It depends on what the headquarters instructs. If they don't intervene, the teleportation arrays in the Land of the Four Directions may have to be temporarily shut down."

"If that's the case, then all this effort has been wasted." Sun Yi shook his head slightly.

"But overall, we did gain something," Chen Kun said.

Sun Yi looked at Chen Kun:

"Lu Yuan's son?"

Chen Kun nodded:

"He may already know some of the secrets of this Land of the Four Directions, or rather, Senior Lu Yuan may already know something."

"That must be it," Sun Yi said.

"I never imagined this place would involve that Prophet. I wonder what this secret is all about."

After a pause, Sun Yi changed the subject:

"With these three divinations, the world is likely to be shaken once again. The last time was many years ago. I wonder what changes will occur this time among the powerful figures of all ages and the various forces, large and small."

"Nothing changing for a long time is not necessarily a good thing, but even without divination, the trend of change has long been becoming increasingly obvious," Chen Kun said.

"Indeed." Sun Yi nodded, then added:

"Aren't you curious whether Lu Yuan's son will stand out in the near future?"

Chen Kun glanced at Sun Yi:

"Standing out is certainly not difficult, but to reach the top among the younger generation..."

Chen Kun didn't say anything, he just shook his head slightly.

Sun Yi seemed to have thought of something as well, and a touch of emotion appeared on his face:

"This generation of descendants is already full of geniuses, and there's also Xiang Li of the Xiang Clan, who is said to be able to suppress a generation. Judging by the time, the Five Elements Sacred Physique Relics should be fully revealed to the world soon. The Xiang Clan will probably take this opportunity to pave the way for it. Now, with this Prophet's divination, I wonder how much importance they will attach to it then."

When asked about this matter, Chen Kun said:

"The Five Elements Sacred Physique has been passed down through generations. All those forces opposed to the Xiang Clan can do is try their best to stop it. But given Xiang Li's status and background, this inheritance will ultimately fall into his hands."

"There's nothing I can do." Sun Yi shook his head.

"After all, there is only one person with the Five Elements Sacred Physique. It is no exaggeration to say that he is exceptionally blessed. Xiang Li was born to be extraordinary. I just wonder how far he has progressed now."
