Chapter 79 Lyu Liang and Dumb

After Lyu Liang came out of the water, he sat on the ground and began to prepare for the breakthrough. He did not know how long the breakthrough would take and if it would cause Yang Ying to be suspicious. However, at this time, he couldn’t care so much.

As a cultivator went on to the later stages, it would get harder to raise the cultivation. From the Qi Refining stage to the Gold Core stage, those who were talented might take a few decades to reach it. However, from the Gold Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage, some people could not break through even in hundreds of years, let alone the higher stage.

Every upgrade in the cultivation did not just come naturally, but rather it took a sudden realization! It would not work even if one contemplated for a long time. However, when an idea just flashed through the mind, it would be the key to breaking through!

Now, this once-in-a-lifetime breakthrough opportunity was in front of Lyu Liang, so he naturally put that as his priority. As for the future, he would wait and see!

“Liang, I am about to destroy the Crystal Pearl. You don’t have to be distracted by that. The prohibition here is very strong. No matter what you do, it will not cause any movement outside!” Black integrated into Lyu Liang’s head once again. It sighed, “If everything goes smoothly, this shall be the last time I am in your Divine Soul!”

…

On the second morning, Yang Ying went to the house of Dumb Kid as usual. However, Dumb Kid did not rush out of the house as he normally did when she was about thirty-three feet away from the house. Today, there were no signs of him, even when she walked to the house.

Yang Ying frowned and gently pushed the door to check if there was anyone inside. She was not surprised that the house was empty. She turned her head and stared intensely at the colorful barrier not too far away. After a while, she sighed and slowly left.

…

At this time, the Crystal Pearl in Lyu Liang’s Divine Soul had been broken and he had entered completely into the state of a breakthrough. Black was drifting at a close distance near him. It seemed to be looking forward to something. A large amount of Primordial Qi poured into the top of his head. Unlike the quiet absorption in the past, Lyu Liang suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the sky and roared. Instantly, he turned into a water column and rushed directly into the rich Primordial Qi.

This water column gushed forth in the wide space. Gradually, within the abundant Primordial Qi, traces of Sword Qi appeared. As time went by, the Sword Qi increased and the Primordial Qi started to decrease!

Feiling Sword appeared silently and immediately, dozens of silver swords appeared too, surrounding it. At the same time, a weird blood-red curved sword with a strong Immortal Qi also appeared in the air. It was the blood-bone sword that he obtained from the bearded man! Like the Feiling Sword, dozens of red swords surrounded it.

In the beginning, it was like the two Sword Control Formations and the water column that Lyu Liang turned into, was everywhere, destroying the place. Gradually, the two sword formations began to mingle, the silver was in the red and the red was in the silver. After a while, an arc-shaped sword formation was formed by the Feiling sword and the Blood-Bone sword. Subsequently, the sword formation emitted a bright silver and red light. Feiling Sword and Blood-Bone sword began to rotate rapidly, scattering lots of Sword Qi in all directions with a heaven-earth tearing aura.

Without any incident, Lyu Liang once again entered into the meditation state of the Human-Sword Unite. Initially, the destructive power in this state was enormous. However, this time there seemed to be precautions in place for this state and a large piece of mesh barrier suddenly appeared around the space. When the Sword Qi encountered this barrier, it would dissipate.

Lyu Liang and Black failed to notice that the streamer which was still in his body, flashed at this moment. On top of its surface, a bright circular spot appeared.

If anyone were present, they would be surprised to find that the aura of Lyu Liang was equivalent to that of an Early-stage of Nascent Soul! Black’s eyes lit up and he shouted, “Liang, Human-Beast Unite!”

Lyu Liang, who had already entered the state of meditation, seemed to have realized something and the water column turned into a human figure, but he still kept his eyes closed. At the same time, his body began to emit a large amount of True Devil Qi, sparkling with black light. This was a unique symbol for those who cultivated the Devil Reshaping Technique.

At this time, Black’s body shape suddenly became bigger and it quickly approached Lyu Liang. Slowly, it integrated into his body.

WIth a roaring sound resembling that of a beast, Lyu Liang’s eyes suddenly opened and a pair of dark irises were revealed. He emitted a strong Devil Immortal Qi and held the Feiling Sword and Blood-Bone sword in two hands.

Later, Lyu Liang started to wave the two swords about frantically. After a while, a gray vortex formed around him, exuding strong Sword Qi that clashed in every direction inside the space.

Ten days passed in such a state.

…

During these ten days, Yang Ying would come to the house of Dumb Kid every morning. Each time, she would stay for a while and then slowly leave. Her face remained calm and there seemed to be a trace of resoluteness between her eyebrows.

Two days later, the news of Zi Tong Fairy’s departure to travel around was broadcasted to all. Yang Ying brought many disciples to bid farewell to her at the front of the mountain.

Before leaving, Zi Tong Fairy secretly transmitted a message to Yang Ying and she said softly, “Ying’er, don’t be bound by the position of the chief. After I leave, if you have something you must do, pass this position to your senior sister Jing Xin. As for Dumb Kid, according to that man, he will leave one month later. It is time to think about how you should interact with him now. Also, don’t worry about the sect being down. The day when Dumb Kid leaves, will be the time when my sect grows.”

Although she did not quite understand the meaning of the last sentence of Master, Yang Ying nodded gently and bowed three times to Zi Tong Fairy. She then led the people back to Zi Tong Sect.

On the same day, another piece of big news was announced: Yang Ying, who had just taken over the position of the chief, was passing the position to another disciple who was at the Early-stage of Nascent Soul, Jing Xin Fairy. Her explanation for this was that she had something to do and would soon leave the sect too. At the same time, she also told everyone what the Master had said. Although everyone doubted her words, they still had some expectations because of their trust in Yang Ying.

In the next ten days, Yang Ying brought Jing Xin Fairy around the sect. She told her everything including the secret of the colorful barrier and the two blue stones left by Zi Tong Fairy, without any reservations.

After doing all this, Yang Ying began to live in Dumb Kid’s house. Every morning, she would stare thoughtfully at the colorful barrier. After an hour, she would stop staring and sigh softly.

…

At this time, the space where Lyu Liang was, had returned to tranquillity. He was discussing something with Black who was sitting on his shoulder.

“Black, didn’t you say that the Human-Beast Unite can only be performed at the Early-stage of Nascent Soul? I am obviously still at the peak of the Gold Core stage. How do you explain that?”

“I can only say that you are a freak out of nowhere! Though you are at the peak of the Gold Core stage, your aura is close to the Early-stage of Nascent Soul. By the way, when performing the Human-Beast Unite just now, I found that the little streamer in your body seems to have a dot on the top. I don’t know if it has anything to do with your current situation!”

“Well, your guess might be right! However, this little streamer has quietened down and does not have any aura now, so I have to observe it later. This is the most comfortable breakthrough. Not only did my cultivation break through, but I have also eased the bottleneck of the Early-stage of Nascent Soul. Even the Devil Reshaping Technique is showing looming signs of being upgraded. However, the biggest gain is to comprehend the second tier of the Heaven-burning Sword Formation, Black-White Sword Formation!”

“Well, let’s think about what to say after we go out. It’s been almost a month! If there is no reasonable explanation, you better slip away quietly.”

“No! They have been very kind to me! I have to give them an explanation! I have tried just now. I seemed to be able to close my Divine Soul after the upgrading so that I can go back to being Dumb Kid. If I really couldn’t do it, I can just act innocent. Anyway, no one will see the difference in Dumb Kid!”

Lyu Liang pondered on this and finally decided it was a good idea. After Black’s investigation, Lyu Liang quietly left the colorful barrier when it was night time outside. Black, on the other hand, had to temporarily live in the portable cave residence since it could no longer integrate into Lyu Liang’s body.

The moment Lyu Liang stepped out of the barrier, he closed his Divine Soul. In the blink of an eye, his bright eyes once again blurred and a silly expression was spread across his face. Dumb Kid was back!

He seemed to be curious about why he was outside at night, Dumb Kid scratched his head and went to his place of residence. The moment he walked in, he opened his eyes wide as if he had been struck by lightning. Tears welled up in his eyes and he scurried to the door, shouting, “Ying’er! I miss you so much! I feel like I haven’t seen you for a long time, I miss you!”

At the moment, outside the hut, Yang Ying looked at Dumb Kid calmly and smiled.

When Dumb Kid approached Yang Ying, he suddenly stopped. Then he was like a child who had made a mistake, bowed his head and said, “Ying’er, sorry, I did not go missing for so long on purpose. I also don’t know why there is always a period when it seems like I am not me.”

“I understand, but now Dumb Kid is Dumb Kid, right?” Yang Ying seemed to understand Dumb Kid’s explanation and then she whispered, “Since you are back, I am at ease. I shall leave now and look for you tomorrow morning.” After that, she didn’t wait for Dumb Kid to answer and left immediately.

“Ying’er, please don’t go, I beg you! I haven’t seen you for a long time and I miss you! Please, don’t go, I have a feeling that I will leave soon! I don’t want to leave Ying’er, so Yinger will not leave me also, okay?” To Yang Ying’s surprise, Dumb Kid who had usually let her go quietly seemed to have returned to the state he had been when he first came to Zi Tong Sect and his eyes were filled with reluctance.

Though surprised, Yang Ying’s look suddenly became gentle and she smiled and said, “Well, in that case, I will not leave now but will stay and chat with you, okay?”

Hearing this, Dumb Kid happily clapped his hands and smiled, “Good! My Ying’er is so good! Go, go into the house! Dumb Kid and Ying’er will have a good time talking!” After that, he eagerly went into the house.

Then, Yang Ying had no choice but to shake her head and follow him in.

…

At this time, Lyu Liang was extremely shocked! Although he had deliberately closed his Divine Soul, at this moment, he suddenly discovered a rice-sized soul in his head! Lyu Liang could clearly feel that it was this soul that was controlling Dumb Kid!

As long as Lyu Liang let go of his Divine Soul, he could easily regain control of the body. He was confused by such a strange situation. After a while, he suddenly realized that he could have produced a second soul that was still in the germinating stage!

This was different from the second Original Soul of Xu Chongzhi who was at the same state of his first soul. Of course, this was not the Second Primordial Spirit that could only be cultivated by an expert at Void Return stage!

Lyu Liang’s little soul was precisely what he looked like at the Late-stage of Gold Core. That was to say, the soul was produced during the period when Lyu Liang became Dumb Kid.

Looking at the Dumb Kid who was having a good time with Yang Ying, Lu Liang suddenly realized something and immediately made an important decision in his heart!

After an hour, amidst the reluctant looks from Dumb Kid, Yang Ying left. After a while, Dumb Kid disappeared and Lyu Liang appeared. He quickly entered the colorful barrier, and the first thing he did was to move the stone wall engraved with the nine words into his own Interspatial Bracelet.

It was still the same sentence, just as if it was prepared for Lyu Liang. Without any effort, he kept the stone wall with nine words. As for Heaven-Hell Water, since Lyu Liang had refined it already, it had lost its function and Lyu Liang did not intend to take it away.

After doing all these, Lyu Liang returned to his place of residence, re-closed his Divine Soul and became Dumb Kid again. At this moment, he made up his mind to confess everything to Yang Ying ten days later. Then, it was time for him to leave and find Shangguan Ying.

For the ten days in between, he would leave them all to Dumb Kid!
