Chapter 395
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The Celestial Small World composed of purple gas that floated before Lin Feng was no bigger than a fist, and the scene before it appeared microscopic .
However, it was still a world unto itself . At that moment, the cosmic form of the late-Nascent Soul stage cultivator of the Yu Family, Yu Yiluan, stood firmly between the heavens and the earth . It was 30 meters tall and its feet were firmly planted on the ground, despite the fact that it only had one arm and one eye .
From its one eye, an icy-blue ray of light came forth . Everything that the ray of light touched froze over before shattering .
If not for the continued flow of energy within the Celestial Small World, combined with its self-repairing properties, the Celestial Small World would have completely shattered after being frozen into ice .
This was the power of a cosmic form that acted on its own accord . Had there been someone to properly direct its power, its destructive energy would have been a lot stronger .
Now, after Lin Feng sent Yu Yiluan's nascent soul into its cosmic form, changes happened right before his eyes .
It was as if a soul had found a new body to inhabit .
The nascent soul now had a strong pillar of support, while the cosmic form fell under the control of the nascent soul .
Both the nascent soul and the cosmic form were the crystallizations of Yu Yiluan's mastery earlier on . Naturally, they had some of his memories in them .
Once the two combined, Yu Yiluan's memories surfaced once again .
In a way, Yu Yiluan had been brought back to life .
In that moment, Lin Feng could feel a groundswell of emotions building up: hatred, rage and terror .
Lin Feng smiled and shook his head . He extended a finger and tapped the one-eyed giant on his forehead . With that finger, Yu Yiluan's newly-reformed consciousness was destroyed once again . Even his scattered and disparate memories were lost .
Here, Yu Yiluan as a person no longer existed in this world .
The nascent soul and cosmic form that belonged to Yu Yiluan continued to vibrate . Instead of slowing them, they seemed to vibrate even more intensely .
The 30 meters tall one-eyed giant went through numerous cycles of death and rebirth . His body became contorted and a layer of ice covered him .
An immensely powerful gust of freezing air came forth from the giant's body . The intensity of the gust appeared enough to send the world back to the Ice Age . It was highly similar to the aura of the Xuanming Holy Man, Yu Xintao . However, it was not as strong as Yu Xintao's and nowhere as dynamic . It did not brim with a hidden, arcane power like Yu Xintao's .
Lin Feng thought, "While I did not personally experience it, but drawing upon the experiences of my predecessors, I more or less know that the process to form an immortal soul involved combining one's cosmic form and nascent soul in the late-Nascent Soul stage . If one is successful, then an immortal soul would have been created . "
"At this point, Yu Yiluan, while he had already formed a cosmic form, still needed to improve the power of his nascent soul . "
A nascent soul at its peak will resemble the cultivator when he was about 16 years old .
"Let's not discuss this first," said Lin Feng as he arched his eyebrow . "The problem is, combining the nascent soul and the cosmic form is only the fundamental step . One must combine it with one's understanding of the Great Way of the Tao to form one's immortal soul . "
At this point, it became slightly problematic . The Great Way of the Tao was the supreme secret of the universe . There was no shortcut to mastering the Great Way of the Tao . Let's not talk about the fact that Lin Feng had yet to form his immortal soul . Even if he had reached the level of an Immortal Soul stage cultivator, he was unable to forcefully enter the Immortal Soul stage from the late-Nascent Soul stage without fully mastering the Great Way of the Tao .
If it were that easy, then the Grand Celestial World would be full of Immortal Soul stage cultivators .
Lin Feng sighed, "It appeared that I could only create a 'false immortal' or a 'fake immortal' . Even so, it would still be alright . "
He flicked his finger as waves after waves of mana were sent into the Celestial Small World . They continuously bombarded the cosmic form in the shape of a one-eyed giant .
The nascent soul within the cosmic form was was like a silk cocoon . Strand by strand, Lin Feng extracted it and then merged it with the physical form of the cosmic form .
As the two of them became inextricably merged, changes started to appear .
Its form became to change non-stop as it appeared to have been frozen over . Its color changed from an icy-blue to black, but it gave off a dark, icy glow .
The legs of the giant, along with its single arm, started to disappear .
Finally, the giant turned into an ice crystal around 30 meters wide .
The ice crystal is completely black and from its external appearance, it was identical to Yu Xintao's immortal soul avatar except for the fact that it's smaller .
However, the pressure that the ice crystal emanated could not compare with Yu Xintao's .
From its power alone, however, it already vastly exceeded that of Yu Yiluan's . It was way beyond the power of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, and infinitely closer to that of an Immortal Soul stage cultivator .
From its actual battling abilities, the black ice crystal possessed every single one of Yu Yiluan's spells and techniques . However, as it did not possess a consciousness, it was akin to a wooden board .
In terms of pure power, it was way beyond that of Yu Yiluan .
It exceeded the powers of a late-Nascent Soul stage cultivator, but it was not close to the power of an Immortal Soul stage cultivator .
Of course, a 'false immortal' like this possessed its own problems . The main problem was that it was unable to progress any further and reach the true Immortal Soul stage .
Overall, Lin Feng was still content . Not only did he obtain a false immortal that was extraordinarily powerful, he also managed to learn much about the process of merging one's nascent soul and cosmic form . For his own ascent into the Immortal Soul stage, this was a truly valuable experience .
Lin Feng waved his hand, and a rather thick branch fell from the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree . It began to shrink, finally reaching the length of a long stick with the width of a pencil, like a flagpole in dimensions .
Lin Feng then absorbed a large amount of the Heaven-Revolving Purple Clouds and turned them into a purple banner . Then, he merged the banner with the flagpole to form a proper flag .
The leaves on top of the Black Heavenly Treasure Tree were also incorporated on the flag itself, giving off a seven-colored light .
Following that, Lin Feng extended a finger and the giant black ice crystal flew out from the Celestial Small World . Before it could take its actual size, it was wrapped up in the flag .
The black ice crystal disappeared and what replaced it was a black pattern on the purple flag .
As Lin Feng looked at his masterpiece, he raised it in the air and waved it gently . In that instant, a black ray of light flashed and flew out from the flag . It morphed into a giant ice crystal in the sky and gave off a biting freeze as numerous ice crystals began flying in all directions .
Whatever that the ice crystals touched, including the very air itself, froze .
In an instant, the entire world appeared to have returned to the Ice Age where ice and snow engulfed everything .
Lin Feng nodded his head, satisfied . He then waved the banner again . The black ice crystal turned into a black ray of light and he recalled it .
"It still needs improvement," Lin Feng knew this clearly . The Giant Purple Banner still required a long period of cultivation before it could be perfected .
However, it was all worth the effort . According to Lin Feng's prediction, once the banner had been perfected, he could manipulate captured late-Nascent Soul stage cultivators with it even if their memories had not been wiped .
Now, the Giant Purple Banner could only manipulate the black ice crystal . As its powers increased, it would be able to absorb more and more spiritual forms into it .
After a certain level of accumulation, a single wave of the giant flag would summon dozens and maybe even hundreds of spiritual forms of late-Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and even a few false immortal stage cultivators to attack one's enemies .
That's not all . Once Lin Feng entered the Immortal Soul stage, he could even entrap immortal soul avatars into it .
However, Lin Feng would require a lot of materials to cultivate that flag . At the same time, he would need to incorporate a lot more suppressive and entrapment spells into it too . He would have to spend much improving, perfecting and trouble-shooting this item .
As Lin Feng pondered, Wang Lin sought to meet with him . Upon meeting him, Wang Lin quickly told Lin Feng's his intentions: he wished to meet his relatives .
"The disciples under me are slowly getting on track with their training . I wish to meet my parents," Wang Lin said as his eyes betrayed a certain sense of longing .
According to the flow of time of the Greater World, Wang Lin had only left his home for two years . However, for Wang Lin, who had spent most of his time training in the Heavenly Cosmic Ray World, he had been away from home for too long .
As time passed, Wang Lin missed his parents more and more .
He could even remember the exact words his parents said to him as he left them to join the Hengyue Faction .
"My son, if it's too difficult out there, just come home . There's no need to become an immortal . What we want is for our family to be safe and happy . . . "
"What are you talking about? Our son will surely become an immortal . Can I be wrong about my own seed?"
"I don't care if he becomes an immortal or not, I just want him to excel in what he does and be happy . That's the most important thing right now . "
"Aiya! If he comes an immortal, then he will be truly extraordinary . "
"My son, you have grown too . When you come back, I'll find a wife for you . "
"Here's where you are wrong . If our son becomes an immortal, then he must find an immortal wife for himself!"
"Aiya! Then, how would I dare to drink the tea she'll offer me (Translator's Note: The offering of tea to one's parents-in-laws is a gesture performed in Chinese weddings) . "
While all of these appeared to be idle talk, Wang Lin's heart ached every time he thought of it . His attachment to his parents was his strongest motivation .
He recalled how he had to enter the Hengyue Faction by threatening suicide . His parents would surely have dealt with many gossips about that . Wang Lin wished he could go back immediately and tell his parents that their son had not let them down . Their son had achieved something .
Wang Lin, who was in the Aurous Core stage, would have surely appeared like an immortal to ordinary men .
Before Lin Feng, Wang Lin could not help but voice out his truest thoughts . Lin Feng too smiled and looked at the normally serious and cold Wang Lin, who suddenly became incessantly chatty . He too began to reminisce about his life back home .
