Chapter 62: Seclusion: Lock In! Meditation for Three Days!

In the current era of great cultivation, the Dao Body is no longer a secret.

Like the so-called Primordial Ancient Holy Body, it is a type of innate talent.

The Dao Body is a cultivation body for Law cultivators, while the Holy Body is for Physical cultivators—their enhancement directions differ.

“Can practicing the Five Spirits Immortal Scripture really produce a Postnatal Dao Body?”

This unexpected surprise made Lin Mo quickly open his interface to check:

【Five Spirits Dao Body (1/10000): After cultivation, enhances control over the Five Elements’ Dao force and improves cultivation efficiency of Five Elements techniques and abilities.】

After reading the system’s description, Lin Mo’s eyes lit up—it was clearly tailored for him.

“If I cultivate the Five Spirits Dao Body, won’t I be just like Chu Wange and the others? Won’t I also be a genius with a special body?”

He stroked his chin, deep in thought.

As he pondered, another system prompt entered his ears:

【True Ultimate Flame being refined; Fire Spirit Root purity increased: 39.8% → 40.1%】

The Fire Spirit Root, stuck at 39% for nearly a month, finally broke through its limit and surpassed 40%.

Though it was only a tiny step, for Lin Mo it signaled the possibility of further improvement.

He could clearly sense that the 【True Ultimate Flame】 had only been refined in a small portion—it would take more time to fully refine it.

So, he still did not know how high the Fire Spirit Root could ultimately rise.

The limit was certainly not 40%.

Lin Mo thought for a moment and directly spent Merit Points twice on the panel:

【Ding! True Ultimate Flame being refined; Merit Points cannot be spent at this time.】

【Ding! You spent 10 Merit Points on ‘Five Spirits Dao Body’; Ability Experience +2 (10 * 20%)】

He first looked at the first prompt.

The word “temporarily” was telling—it meant he could resume spending Merit Points once the Flame was fully refined?

Then came the second prompt—

As he suspected, the 【Five Spirits Dao Body】 could be enhanced with Merit Points, and since it was an “ability” derived from the 【Five Spirits Immortal Scripture】, its cultivation efficiency was calculated based on his Insight value.

Only after confirming these two points did he turn to the 【Heavenly Dao Golden Light】 on the panel and once again allocate Merit Points to his cultivation base:

【Ding! You spent 10 Merit Points on the technique; Technique Experience +4.9】

Bingo! He guessed right again!

With his Spirit Root purity at 39% and the Heavenly Dao Golden Light’s 10% boost, the Merit Point utilization rate rose by 10%.

Compared to previous spirit items and abilities, the 【Heavenly Dao Golden Light】 was the top-tier buff in the short term.

Unfortunately, the Heavenly Dao Golden Light was not permanent—it lasted only one year.

“I totally won the Immortal Exam…”

Lin Mo muttered to himself; the rewards from the Immortal Exam realm had far exceeded his expectations.

Once he fully absorbed all of this, he would drastically narrow the gap between himself and the top geniuses.

And now, the only thing he needed to do was…

He slightly bent his index finger, then straightened it—

【Merit +1】

During the realm, he had spent a massive amount of Merit Points to farm rewards.

Though his final gains were substantial, his panel’s Merit Points had been completely depleted.

Looking at the Merit Points panel, nearly “empty,” Lin Mo immediately decided to lock himself in seclusion on the Immortal Vessel!

…

…

Three days later.

The Immortal Vessel glided steadily through the sea of clouds, the setting sun nearly touching the horizon above the rolling clouds, and the deep blue ocean below.

Heaven and earth seemed to merge into one line—the scenery was breathtaking, filling one with serenity.

Whether Lin Mo, who had spent nearly all his time in his cabin, or other new students still diligently practicing the 【Hundred-Day Foundation Establishment Method】, were all called to the vessel’s deck by He Brother and Zhuang Weiwǎn.

“Zhuang Shijie!”

Lin Mo waved cheerfully at Zhuang Weiwǎn.

Zhuang Weiwǎn looked half-asleep, her face still wearing a gentle, drowsy smile: “Lin Shidi.”

Zhuang Shijie, where did you go mining this time?

Lin Mo mentally exclaimed in surprise.

Zhuang Weiwǎn’s eye sockets had darkened further, her complexion even paler than before.

Clearly, she had been busy these past few days.

He Brother’s condition remained unchanged—he stood at the very front of the deck, his green robe fluttering in the clouds, radiating an aura of immortal grace.

It was said that several new female students had confessed their feelings to He Brother during this time, but all were gently refused, with the excuse of prioritizing cultivation.

Compared to his “authority” among the new students, Zhuang Weiwǎn seemed more like a “tool.”

He Brother also noticed Lin Mo emerging from his cabin, but merely glanced at him briefly before looking away, offering no greeting at all.

Seeing this, Lin Mo slightly furrowed his brow.

Not because of the indifference, but because a suspicion quietly formed in his mind.

His attitude had changed drastically since their first meeting—not because he was jealous of Lin Mo’s looks, but because he had learned something.

For instance: Lin Mo’s true Spirit Root quality.

Though Lin Mo had never deliberately concealed it, few here truly knew him well.

The only people who knew his secret and would blab it out…

Lin Mo’s eyes fell on Ye Chen, standing beside He Brother, who happened to look over and gave him a cold smirk.

Got it.

He chuckled inwardly, neither angry nor disappointed—only a little disillusioned with the halo surrounding the Nine Great Academies.

Even true cultivators could be this “mercenary”—no different in essence from common folk in the mortal world.

Lin Mo looked at Zhuang Weiwǎn’s dark circles and sighed: “Zhuang Shijie, you’re truly a good person.”

Zhuang Weiwǎn didn’t seem surprised by the praise; she forced a faint smile: “Many people say that…”

After speaking, she seemed unwilling to continue this topic and quickly added, "Brother Lin, you can wake up Sister Chu; we're almost at the Enlightenment Cliff."

Hearing this, Lin Mo finally noticed Chu Wange, seated in meditation in the corner.

“She’s been in meditation on the deck for three days?”

He exclaimed.

Zhuang Weiwǎn nodded, then sighed:

“Chu Shimei not only has exceptional talent, but her devotion to the Dao is admirable—even among the Wenda Academy, she ranks among the best.”

Overworked… Lin Mo’s lip twitched—he thought his three-day seclusion was intense, but clearly he was no match for these true grindmasters.

Zhuang Weiwǎn thought he was worried and quickly explained:

“Don’t worry—I set up a barrier; no one can disturb her. But she meditated so deeply, I couldn’t wake her.”

Lin Mo frowned: “Won’t waking her now cause qi deviation?”

Zhuang Weiwǎn smiled: “I checked—she’s just in deep meditation. Interrupting her should be fine.”

Hearing this, he relaxed and walked straight to Chu Wange’s side, saying:

“Hey, friend, wake up!”

After this simple call, Chu Wange stirred as if waking from sleep, slowly opening her beautiful phoenix eyes, gazing up dazedly, her voice still thick with sleep:

“Lin Mo?”
