Chapter 46: Chapter Forty-Five: Great Transformation Immortal Heart

As his Primordial Spirit connected with Lu Lingwei's.

A vast, boundless power, as if transcending the Three Realms and Five Elements, supremely profound and wondrous, surged forth from within Lu Lingwei's Primordial Spirit.

Instantly, Chen Daoxuan felt that his mind, his Primordial Spirit, and even his motionless seated Flesh Dharma Body all began undergoing a change profound beyond words.

All manner of insights regarding the Yin-Yang Great Transformation Immortal Scripture spontaneously surfaced in his mind, and the Yin-Yang Great Transformation Immortal Scripture itself began to advance naturally on its own.

Unity of knowledge and action — the insights that surfaced in his mind were directly synchronized into cultivation results.

……

After nine days, upon completing one cycle of revolving exchange in dual cultivation with Lu Lingwei.

The Yin-Yang Great Transformation Immortal Scripture directly reached Minor Completion.

A pair of black-and-white revolving Yin Yang Fish manifested between the True Mountain and Mysterious Sea cultivated by the Mountain-Sea Immortal Scripture.

Revolving around that True Mountain and Mysterious Sea condensed by the Yin-Yang Great Dao as their center.

Causing the True Mountain and Mysterious Sea to seem as if they possessed alternating black-and-white revolutions between them.

A subtle transformation was born.

……

Besides this, Chen Daoxuan also perceived that the auxiliary immortal art recorded within the Yin-Yang Great Transformation Immortal Scripture, the 【Yin-Yang Great Transformation Immortal Art】, had directly reached Entry Level.

The incomparably difficult and incomparably stringent cultivation requirements that had originally been needed to practice the 【Yin-Yang Great Transformation Immortal Art】 all became like illusions.

The Great Dao Primordial Spirit and the location of the heart within the Flesh Dharma Body simultaneously had yin-yang radiance flowing through them, condensing into a beating Yin-Yang Heart.

It existed simultaneously within the Primordial Spirit and the Flesh Body's heart, overlapping with the original heart as one, yet standing independent on its own.

Chen Daoxuan knew with enlightened clarity that this was the 【Great Transformation Immortal Heart】 condensed upon the initial success of the 【Yin-Yang Great Transformation Immortal Art】.

Within it was contained a single 'life.'

Even if one's lifespan were exhausted, one could rely on it to recover to one's peak and live another life.

Even if one were ground to dust and scattered, soul scattered and destroyed, or even had all fate and all traces of Cause and Effect wiped out so that one could never be reborn, one could still rely on this 【Great Transformation Immortal Heart】 to have a certain probability of reincarnating and being reborn.

It was just that now the Yin-Yang Great Transformation Immortal Art had only just achieved initial success, the 【Great Transformation Immortal Heart】 had only just condensed, and the probability of reincarnation and rebirth was not great.

Moreover, after successfully reincarnating and being reborn, tribulations would still descend to prevent the rebirth.

As the wondrous profundities of the 【Yin-Yang Great Transformation Immortal Art】 welled up in his heart, Chen Daoxuan now had some guesses regarding Lu Lingwei, this Immortal Reincarnate.

……

It was just that Chen Daoxuan paid little attention to this improvement of his own, instead paying attention to Lu Lingwei.

Because within this Primordial Spirit dual cultivation, while he himself improved, Chen Daoxuan could also clearly perceive that Lu Lingwei, whose Primordial Spirit was merged with his, was also undergoing some kind of wondrous transformation.

The immortal charm about her clearly became denser.

Although their Primordial Spirits were connected and he could faintly sense that Lu Lingwei's state of mind had no great change — like him, her mind and spirit immersed in the dual cultivation.

Yet for some unknown reason, Chen Daoxuan had a vague premonition that Lu Lingwei seemed as if she could depart at any moment.

……

Every nine days, one cycle of revolving dual cultivation was completed.

Twice, three times, four times……

Each time he completed one more Yin-Yang revolution and Primordial Spirit dual cultivation, Chen Daoxuan felt the premonition in his heart grow clearer.

It was just that regarding the premonition in his heart, Chen Daoxuan had not detected any impropriety, and moreover perceived that for some unknown reason, the dual cultivation with Lu Lingwei actually could not be stopped.

It could only continue like this.

"Could Lingwei be awakening her memories?"

In his thoughts, he continued the dual cultivation.

……

Time flowed by. When nine rounds of dual cultivation were completed, in an instant, Chen Daoxuan perceived that Lu Lingwei, whose Primordial Spirit had been merged with his, suddenly underwent an earth-shattering transformation.

Boundless immortal light spread about her, manifesting a set of immortal garments.

She became incomparably indifferent, like an immortal, like a sage.

As yin-yang immortal light flowed, she directly repelled Chen Daoxuan, whose Primordial Spirit had been connected with hers.

Seeing this change, Chen Daoxuan, who had been repelled, had a guess in his heart in a flash.

"Could it be that her memories have awakened!"

"How could it be such a coincidence — is it because of the dual cultivation?"

In his thoughts, although he sensed no crisis, facing Lu Lingwei who had most likely awakened her memories, Chen Daoxuan still connected with the Kunlun Mirror, preparing to flee at any moment.

……

After repelling Chen Daoxuan.

Lu Lingwei, like an immortal, like a sage, her indifferent expression suddenly shifted slightly.

Her gaze fixed on Chen Daoxuan for an instant, and she gave a long sigh.

Then her indifferent expression was withdrawn, once again becoming the expression Chen Daoxuan was incomparably familiar with — Lu Lingwei's original demeanor.

It was just that within her expression, a trace of reluctance appeared.

The yin-yang immortal light drew Chen Daoxuan back to her side.

The immortal garments formed from yin-yang immortal light dissipated, and she once again began dual cultivation with Chen Daoxuan.

At the same time, a voice, its tone no different from Lu Lingwei's usual one, also sounded in Chen Daoxuan's heart.

"Senior Disciple, you should have guessed it — I suffered a tribulation and reincarnated, and because Senior Disciple saved the world, I was able to overcome that tribulation, and only thus could I form a good bond with Senior Disciple and have the reality of Dao Lu as we do now."

As she spoke, reluctance appeared in Lu Lingwei's voice.

"It is just that although I am in the lower realm, as my memories recover, my immortal position naturally returns, and the myriad heavens and worlds will naturally undergo changes."

"To avoid being discovered by enemies from my past life, I must ascend to the Immortal Realm as soon as possible.

"Indeed, I can no longer accompany Senior Disciple."

"But before I ascend to the Immortal Realm, I can still lend Senior Disciple one more hand."

"I hope Senior Disciple can attain the Dao and ascend, so that in the future within the Immortal Realm, we may meet again."

As Lu Lingwei's voice sounded within his heart.

In this tenth Primordial Spirit dual cultivation, Chen Daoxuan discovered it was entirely different from the previous nine times; out of nowhere, there was a feeling of sinking back into the womb, being reborn anew.

And by the time Chen Daoxuan came back to his senses, nine days had already passed.

At some unknown time, Lu Lingwei had already vanished without a trace.

Chen Daoxuan understood that Lu Lingwei must have ascended to the Immortal Realm, and a faint sense of melancholy stirred in his heart.

Just then, Lu Lingwei's voice rose in his heart, and her slender figure, along with her beautiful face bearing a gentle smile, also appeared before his eyes.

"Senior Disciple, I forgot to tell you — that Yin-Yang Great Transformation Immortal Scripture can be cultivated without worry, but that 【Yin-Yang Great Transformation Immortal Art】 must never be revealed."

"Also, before ascending to the Immortal Realm, Senior Disciple should lay down foundations for the two Great Daos of Time and Space as much as possible."

"See you in the Immortal Realm!"

……

Along with these words, Lu Lingwei's figure and face that had appeared before his eyes also vanished like bubbles.

Seeing this, Chen Daoxuan's heart was filled with complexity; he stood still for a moment, then gave a slight shake of his head.

"Counting it this way, I now directly have an Immortal Dao Lu."

Thoughts flowing, Chen Daoxuan left this cave abode and went to where Tianjizi was, whose lifespan was now nearing its end.

But just as Chen Daoxuan was about to voice the excuse he had prepared to Tianjizi, he discovered that Tianjizi had no memory of Lu Lingwei whatsoever.

Afterwards, Chen Daoxuan searched the entire Tianji Blessed Land, searched the entire Yuanling Realm, and discovered that in the memories of no living being did Lu Lingwei exist.

And there were no records of Lu Lingwei anywhere.

Not a single thread of Cause and Effect remained.
