Chapter 184: Chapter 183: Gently Awaken the Sleeping Soul

Chapter 183: Gently Awaken the Sleeping Soul

Luo Wusheng’s mouth twitched slightly.

His current actions were undoubtedly planned.

Although Little Yuli was currently in her stupid mode and would not normally use any spiritual energy, her innate talent from the Sword Ancestor’s Wooden Sword still existed.

Flawless Sword Body and Exquisite Sword Heart – these two extraordinary talents were specially designed for the wielder of the Sword Ancestor’s Wooden Sword.

Aside from the normal talent boost provided by the Flawless Sword Body and Exquisite Sword Heart, the former allowed Lu Yuliu to cut through any defenses of her opponent that are the same realm as her without suffering any backlash. With a bit more sacrifice, it could even sever the physical bodies of higher-level cultivators.

What caught Luo Wusheng’s attention now was the latter – the Exquisite Sword Heart.

The amplification effect of the Exquisite Sword Heart focused on one word: “Spirit.”

Guarding one’s spirit and cutting through the enemy’s spirit.

Foreign techniques would find it difficult to affect her mind, and if someone had significant spiritual vulnerabilities, they would be easily detected by Little Yuli.

In combat, if someone with a spiritual loophole in their mind was struck by the Sword Ancestor’s Wooden Sword, the damage inflicted wouldn’t be limited to physical harm.

Luo Wusheng valued this ability now.

In the original work, Lu Yuliu had won multiple battles against an opponent who is much higher in cultivation level by relying on this ability.

Similarly, this ability was extremely useful in other aspects.

For example, when Little Yuli’s master went mad due to her inner demon.

Overcoming one inner demon and obsession was not a simple matter, and the Blood Essence Jade wasn’t something you could just throw onto someone who had fallen to easily dispel its effects.

Stimulating spiritual essence and completing spiritual recovery were tasks that Little Yuli, as a disciple, had accomplished with her own abilities. If it were someone else, they probably wouldn’t be able to achieve such perfection.

Now, this ability has found a new use.

Relying on his somewhat limited knowledge of cultivation and the original setting, Luo Wusheng roughly deduced the possibility of Little Yuli using the Sword Ancestor’s Wooden Sword to separate the two consciousnesses inside the Rat Netherkin.

After careful consideration, he directly asked Little Yuli through telepathy if she could see the connection between the two Rat consciousnesses and if she could separate them.

’Under the current circumstances, without being able to fully display my strength, I have no confidence in capturing this Rat Netherkin with various escape methods. Moreover, it is obviously more familiar with this place than I am. Fighting it now is not wise, and it’s challenging to get the information I want. It might be better to try making a simple deal with it first…’

This is a new idea that Luo Wusheng came up with.

It’s evident that the little Rat in front of him has also fallen into the trap set by the Buddhist sect and has established quite a few connections with them.

His own bad future seems to be closely related to the Buddhist sect, especially considering the words of Yue Xuanji earlier. The Rat Netherkin likely knows some of the plans of the Buddhist sect.

There is a vague sense of unease in Luo Wusheng’s heart.

The attack that happened on the tribulation is the first time he directly faces the ’attack’ of the Buddhist sect.

The Buddhist chant that had silently appeared in his mind, and from the look of it, it seems that no one in the outside world has noticed that he fell victim to the Buddhist sect’s scheme.

This makes him very concerned, creating an indescribable sense of disharmony.

But why does the situation seem a bit off?

Watching the little Rat, who mocked him and then turned back to continue exploring the Buddha statue, Luo Wusheng’s face shows a hint of embarrassment.

He clears his throat, and his aura spreads out.

After his Golden Core transformed, his aura seems to surpass the limits of what a normal Peak Golden Core cultivation has. Now, when he is fully exerting his power, the wind roars, shaking even the doors and windows of the dilapidated temple.

“Cough, how can we, who have experienced life and death together, not recognize each other now?”

Well, this should work…

“Hehe, these words have been said by the second illusion some times ago. To think you would say the same thing again, do you think I’m so easy to deceive?”

The little Rat doesn’t even lift its head, completely ignoring his imposing aura.

After patting the base of the Buddha statue without finding anything, it casually glances at the two people at the door and mutters to itself, “This illusion is a bit strange. If they want to confuse me, why did they specifically change the mistress of that Holy Saint?”

At the entrance, the Little Yuli beside Luo Wusheng slightly lifts her head.

“Changed the mistress?”

’Dumb girl, both mistresses were you…;

Luo Wusheng inwardly complains about the girl’s sensitivity to keywords and the impact of her obsession on her memory. However, he doesn’t get entangled with her on this matter at this time. Instead, he strokes his chin.

It seems that this Rat Netherkin has seen this “illusion” of himself several times already, and it doesn’t even believe that his true self would appear before it…

Is this also the work of the Buddhist sect?

Then how to make it believe that he is indeed his true self?

Well, there are many methods, but the actions might cause some commotion.

’Let me gently awaken the sleeping soul…’

“Little Yuli, stand behind me.”

“Huh? Oh…”

The girl, who was still thinking about the words “mistress,” is initially stunned by Luo Wusheng’s words, then comes back to her senses and obediently moves behind him.

Her original posture, which is to hug his arm and place it between her mountain, changed into her hiding behind his back and gently clutching the corner of his sleeve.

Feeling ready to go, Luo Wusheng points a finger.

…

In the moment when the illusion raised its finger to attack, the ugly little Rat instantly felt something, but its disdainful expression grew stronger.

Spells created with mere imposing illusions might look intimidating, but they would ultimately dissipate at the moment of impact.

An illusion is just an illusion.

Although this illusion is indeed lifelike, with convincing breath, aura, and even a tactile illusion upon contact, it lacks the lethal power of real spells.

This is the easiest criterion for distinguishing illusions.

Thinking about this, the little Rat actually felt quite relaxed.

After the spell dissipates, the illusion will also disappear. By staying true to itself, it can become more alert.

So, to pursue a better effect and prove its wakefulness, it willingly leaped towards the spiritual energy illusion that came flying towards it.

Then—

Boom!

Its body was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the Buddha statue. A confused look appeared in its rat eyes.

Just now, Luo Wusheng didn’t use his full strength, but it was still a strike from a Peak Golden Core cultivator. It hit the Rat Netherkin, whose defense was now astonishingly high, causing a tingling sensation even in its formidable golden body.

What’s going on? Did the illusion become real?

No, that wasn’t an illusion at all?

The thought crossed its mind as it looked at the demonic sect disciple at the door with a shocked expression.

But quickly, it felt that something was off.

The decrepit, headless Buddha statue it collided with showed no damage, only emitting a dull buzzing sound.

This was unusual. In a normal situation, the shockwave from a Paek Golden Core cultivator strike would have been enough to obliterate the old statue and even the entire temple.

This Buddha statue is indeed mysterious…

As it had this thought, the situation didn’t end there.

In the next moment, it felt like another consciousness within it was stimulated, seizing control of its body frantically.

“How can he be here?!”

Feeling the voice in its mind expressing surprise at the other consciousness losing control, the true self of the little Rat understood everything.

The figure in front of it was indeed the disciple of the demonic sect, not an illusion!

What’s going on? Wasn’t it said that the karmic ties were severed, and there would be no more interactions?

How did he manage this?

And the words he said before…

At this moment, the heart of the little Rat is filled with complexity.
