The Mysterious Way of Heaven

Chapter 5

Murong Wudi's sigh was filled with infinite bitterness. Although the description was simple, Li Yun could hear the danger and killing in it.

"Yesterday, I was left with only this remnant of my soul. The Jade Plate of Fallen Immortals had only one final seal left. But this clone of mine can only reach a level that is slightly stronger than that of a mortal. It is impossible to unlock the seal. Just at this moment, you broke in. Therefore, I used the Inner Elixir of the demonic wolf to loose the seal. I broke the body of the demonic wolf, and at the cost of the disappearance of the soul of the primordial spirit, I activated the Wind-controlling Seal. Eventually, with your Child Attendant's Primordial Yang Blood, he finally solved the problem that had plagued me for thousands of years. This is the past. And the sea of consciousness is your sea of consciousness. Don't doubt it. You will understand it in the future." Murong Qingtian said all of a sudden, and the parts below the waist had disappeared.

"Look, this is the thing in the jade pendant." While speaking, he pointed upward. Li Yun looked upward and saw a thumb-sized golden liquid dripping from the left side. It was round on the top and hanging down in the air. In the middle was a flaming red flame, floating in the air. It was like a candlelight at dawn, flickering and dark, as if it would extinguish at any time. The one on the right was the strangest. It was a strand of black silk as long as an index finger. It was like a worm and could not move. Li Yun opened his mouth to speak, but when he thought of what Murong Jingtian had said, he did not ask about the doubts in his heart.

Murong Yinsheng continued, "Although you have extraordinary comprehension, you are lack of inborn talent. Without spiritual roots in your body, you can't take the crucial step, which is to introduce primordial spirit into your body. You helped me to solve my ten-thousand-year confusion before I die. Then I will give you an ultimate spiritual root. There are two jade bottles under the stone wall on the right side of the inner room, one with three Heart-protecting Pills and the other with a wooden pill. Heart-protecting Pill is only used for healing by mortals and has little value. However, the wooden pill can revive the dead, flesh and bones, lives roots. After taking it, you can achieve the ultimate wooden spiritual root after seven days of sleep. But my soul will be scattered, otherwise, this wooden pill can save my life!" Speaking of this, he sighed again.

"It's a pity that I don't have Wind Spirit Pills. Otherwise, you can take my mantle. I have been comprehending the Law of Wind for my whole life and have cultivated three kinds of divine arts. Now, they are all sealed in your sea of consciousness. I hope you can inherit them." At this point, Murong Jingtian's arms and chest and abdomen had disappeared, leaving only his shoulder neck and head.

"I, Murong Jingtian, have been cultivating for more than 50,000 years in my life. Now, I'm finally returning to Heaven and Earth." As he spoke, his eyes became more and more clear. Li Yun was also sad at the moment, and the mist in his eyes increased, but he still endured it. He bit his lip and did not make a sound to disturb Murong Tao.

"I have two things for you, Li Yun. First, you must keep today's matter a secret. Otherwise, you will be a great disaster. Second, if you meet the surviving members of the Murong Clan in the future, you must protect them no matter what happens. Can you do that?"

"Uncle, don't worry. I can do it." Li Yun answered firmly.

"The Immortal-engulfing Jade Pendant was created by a person with great divine abilities who used true essence and spiritual milk. The white silk in the cave can shake the entire world with a single strand of it. We can't stay here for too long. Go quickly!" By now, Mo Rong had completely vanished, leaving behind only the sound echoing out in his sea of consciousness.

Li Yun's eyes darkened. When he opened them again, he found that it was still the same cave, but the cave was full of milky white filaments. Li Yun wiped the tears from his face and was about to get up to fetch the wood elixir when he suddenly felt a shock in his head. A golden light flashed on Li Yun's scalp. Then, the entire cave began to move, forming a whirlpool with Li Yun as its center. Li Yun's body was like a big mouth, and he ate up all the true essence and spiritual milk in an instant.

Before Li Yun could react to what had happened, a heart-wrenching pain spread to his whole body. "Ah...!" Li Yun let out a scream.

Li Yun had never suffered such pain, as if his viscera, limbs, and bones were torn by a big hand. The severe pain was that Li Yun's body trembled, but it had just begun, and the pain was still serious. Li Yun obviously felt that every inch of his flesh and blood was trampled, pierced, and tore by those white fine threads. Blood continued to seep out of Li Yun's skin. After a while, Li Yun lost his ability to move, and his body was lying on the ground and kept twitching.

The pain was like a continuous torrent, eroding Li Yun constantly. Gradually, Li Yun could not hold on any longer. His body collapsed violently, and his blood was still flowing out. His skin and flesh began to fall. There were pieces of internal organs in the coughing blood, and the sound of bones cracking had been heard. Li Yun seemed to see that his tendons and meridians had been torn off.

Just as Li Yun was about to close his eyes and give up, a green shadow flashed in the corner of his eyes. What he saw was the green wolf on the ground. The situation of fighting with the green wolf before instantly broke into Li Yun's mind, and then, Star-picking, Big Bull, and Uncle Cheng entered Li Yun's mind one after another. A stream of life-saving desire was burning.

"I can't die. If I die, Zhaixing will be devastated. I promise to bring the bird to Zhaixing."

"I can't die. My mother said that my son would definitely be indomitable in the future. I can't let my mother down."

"I can't die. Uncle Cheng once said that Kung Fu is a boring and painful thing. If you are afraid of pain and suffering, you can stop practicing it. I need to finish practicing the nine practice methods."

"I can't die. I promised the ox that I would give the cold knife to him as a gift for his joining the hunter team."

"I..." Perhaps the pain for a long time had numbed his nerves. Perhaps it was true that the True Energy and Soul Milk had stopped wreaking havoc. In short, Li Yun was gradually feeling less and less pain.

At this moment, Li Yun felt a shock in his brain. A golden light visible to the naked eye gushed out of Li Yun's scalp and instantly covered Li Yun's whole body.

###Chapter5,Nine Training Bone Forging

The True Essence Spirit Liquid did not stop wreaking havoc on Li Yun's physical body. However, Li Yun, who was covered in golden light, no longer felt pain. The golden light was slowly seeping into his skin and flesh. The fallen muscles were producing pinky flesh buds, and the rotten skin was gradually healing.

At this time, Li Yun's ferocious and painful expression was no longer visible on his face. Instead, he showed a satisfied expression, as sweet as a baby sleeping soundly. He was calm and comfortable, as if he was enjoying something wonderful.

At this moment, Li Yun felt like he was lying in the yard and basking in the sun. His whole body was bathed in the warmth of the winter sun. Under the warm light, his body felt slightly itchy and numb, which made him feel very comfortable.

Her skin and flesh had been completely healed, and even the wounds on her legs had been healed. Only the scabs sticking to her body and some peeled skin and flesh could prove what a thrilling scene had just happened.

Under the golden light, the white threads in the flesh turned into countless tiny granules and merged into the flesh.

The golden light continued to penetrate. Li Yun's cracked bones were completely restored in an instant, and a series of crisp sounds came out of his body.

However, the true essence spiritual milk was not suppressed by the golden light like it was in the flesh. Instead, it continued to destroy. The newly restored bones were once again riddled with holes, and the golden light immediately repaired them...

Li Yun, who originally felt that he had survived, was tortured by the sudden pain and did not faint. As the repair and destruction continued, the pain of Li Yun was getting bigger and bigger, and he was on the verge of breaking down.

"I have endured so much pain before. I can't give up, I can't relax." Li Yun gritted his teeth, sat up from the ground firmly, endured the pain, and started his cultivation.

A trace of inner strength was extracted from the broken Dantian. However, the strand of inner strength that was extracted was not controlled by Li Yun's will and was directly integrated into the golden light. Immediately after, the golden light that had integrated with inner strength became even more powerful. The true essence spirit milk was immediately suppressed by it, turning into tiny particles and merging into the bones.

The golden light then engulfed Li Yun's entire body. His internal organs, bones, and dantian were restored one by one. Wherever it passed, the True Energy and Spiritual Liquid were integrated into Li Yun's body. At this time, the golden light and the internal strength could no longer be separated and returned to Li Yun's dantian.

"Phew." Li Yun let out a long sigh of relief. "It's finally over." Li Yun stood up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. When he saw his body covered with broken skin and flesh under his ragged clothes, he still felt a lingering fear.

Li Yunjing calmed down and began to ponder. After all, she was only eight years old. What she had seen and heard today was far beyond Li Yun's understanding. Except for the demon beasts that she had heard of, everything she had encountered was extremely mysterious.

Li Muyun was confused and thought for a long time. He felt that everything that happened to him was like the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror. But the stone cave, the blue wolf not far away lying on the ground, and his body showing that everything that he had just experienced was real.

He took a deep breath and walked into the cave. Murong Yingtian's body was sitting cross-legged on the ground. Even though he was dead, he still remained calm. Li Yun moved Murong Yingtian's body to the stone bed inside the cave and made three kowtows. He said in a low voice, "Uncle Murong, I will remember your words." After that, he stood up and placed the luminous night pearl in Murong Yingtian's arms. Then he found a wooden box under the right stone wall, in which there were two jade bottles. One was red and the other was green. Looking at it, he saw three Heart-protecting Pills in red. Inside the red was an emerald green pill the size of a finger. As soon as he opened the jade bottle, the fragrance of vegetation filled the entire cave.
