Chapter 123: One Body, Two Souls: Who Are You, Really?

Lingya Secret Realm.

A Secret Realm named after Spirit Power and tender sprouts naturally represents the countless Ling Grass and spirit flowers within.

Almost the moment Lu Ren entered the Secret Realm, he felt the Spirit Power in the air surging toward him in an overwhelming tide.

In this instant, he was practically unable to move.

Where he stood, a rotating vortex of Spirit Power was forcibly formed, with him at the very center.

With the speed of a storm, he violently absorbed the Spirit Power into his body, and this was entirely beyond his control.

It was as if a long-parched sponge had encountered living water.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! It happened in an instant.

The moment Lu Ren entered the Secret Realm, his cultivation realm climbed two small tiers directly.

Now he was already at the fifth tier.

What terrifying talent!

If anyone were here, they would likely be so astonished that their eyeballs would pop out.

It is common knowledge.

Dongzhou is a place where Spirit Power is thin, and even more so, a barren land.

Yet within the Secret Realm, especially this one, the density of Spirit Power is simply disproportionate to that of Dongzhou.

Lu Ren had actually climbed two small tiers just by changing to an environment with such a concentration of Spirit Power!

One must know that he is no weakling now.

He is a Supreme Saint! So many people come and go in this Secret Realm, yet it has never been heard that someone could break through their realm consecutively upon entering.

Lu Ren also perceived the benefits almost the moment he entered this Secret Realm.

The concentration of Spirit Power in the air was such that even the breath he exhaled and inhaled turned a milky white color.

How terrifying.

No one dislikes the thrill of breaking through a realm. Lu Ren was naturally no exception, and at this moment, a sudden inspiration struck him; he had an extremely bold idea in his heart and lowered his eyelids. He opened his Crescent Moon space.

The moment the Crescent Moon space was opened, everyone inside looked up at the sky in confusion, gazing at the scene revealed outside.

Through the hole in the sky, it projected directly into the small world where they were located.

The entire Lu Family, standing by in the space, understood in their hearts.

"It seems the Family Head has successfully entered the Secret Realm!"

"Is this the Lingya Secret Realm?"

"But why did the Family Head open a gap in the space? He didn't mean to summon us out!"

Just as everyone was puzzled, the two connected ports completely finished merging.

The Spirit Power from within the Secret Realm surged madly into the space.

In this instant, the younger generation of the Lu Family, who were originally sitting cross-legged in meditation, couldn't help but groan; small vortices of Spirit Power formed one by one, and the Spirit Power poured down upon them like a waterfall. "What is this?"

The Lu Family elders were slightly startled at first, but after checking the physical condition of several juniors, they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"It is a breakthrough after suddenly coming into contact with high-concentration spirit energy!"

Lu Daoran was naturally included among them.

Lu Daocheng was naturally no exception.

The speed at which they absorbed Spirit Power was simply terrifying; even outside, Lu Ren could feel that the Spirit Power in his area showed signs of being drained dry.

He did not hesitate but flashed away toward other areas, all the way channeling the spirit energy within the Secret Realm into the space.

Once the spirit energy within the space was basically saturated, Lu Ren then cut off the connection between the Crescent Moon Necklace and the Secret Realm, still feeling unsatisfied.

Spirit energy is good, indeed.

However, a Secret Realm formed over such a long and ancient time has likely already developed a spirit of its own.

If he were too indulgent, it is highly likely he would be discovered.

Lu Ren naturally had a sense of measure in his heart.

Yet he did not know.

Or rather, he did not pay deliberate attention to the earth-shattering changes occurring within the space.

Although Lu Daoran's realm was neither low nor high, and he carried the title of a genius, the speed at which he absorbed Spirit Power was indeed terrifying, but he only broke through four tiers consecutively before stopping, still feeling unsatisfied. He opened his eyes, only to see all the Lu Family elders surrounding another spot.

Lu Daoran felt no resentment in his heart; instead, he curiously leaned over to look.

With this look, he saw Lu Daocheng, who was within the Spirit Power vortex, just happening to open his eyes, and the Lu Family elders beside him immediately exclaimed in shock.

"One major realm plus six small tiers! Simply terrifying!"

"The future is in good hands! My Lu Family has produced another genius!"

If one were to calculate it, it would be a full sixteen small tiers; although Lu Daocheng's realm was low, sixteen was still somewhat shocking. Lu Daocheng scratched his scalp, looking slightly embarrassed, "It's not as amazing as you all say."

He smiled quite honestly.

Yet for some reason, Lu Daoran always felt there was a trace of strangeness about him.

However, Lu Daoran turned and cast this sense of strangeness to the back of his mind.

No matter what.

They are all family.

Family members should not harbor suspicions toward one another.

If one truly feels there is a problem, one can simply ask face-to-face.

Lu Daoran had always been such a person.

Once the atmosphere had finally cooled down, Lu Daocheng made an excuse that he needed to stabilize his realm and went into seclusion alone.

But when he was left all alone, his expression suddenly turned cold, becoming extremely sinister.

"I told you, you are not allowed to use my body to mess around!"

"Otherwise, I will risk my life to perish together with you!"

His voice was also extremely fierce, "What exactly do you want to do!"

"I don't want to steal the limelight from Big Brother Lu Daoran!"

In the next second, on Lu Daocheng's face, a shift in emotion suddenly appeared, becoming slightly gloomy, while the corners of his mouth subconsciously curled up, revealing a strange, half-smiling expression.

His voice was extremely contemptuous, careless, and deliberate, as if with the arrogance of a superior.

"What's the rush?"

"Lu Daocheng" said indifferently, "With your previous cultivation realm, it would be difficult even if you wanted to do something."

"You don't want to steal Lu Daoran's limelight? Heh... if you don't work hard, no one will ever see you!"

When "Lu Daocheng" finished saying this, his expression instantly turned angry.

Lu Daocheng said with disgust: "So what if no one ever sees me? The Family Head will see me! Big Brother will see me! And Sister Xiao Shuang will see me even more!"

"On the contrary, you poor wretch, heh, you don't even dare to show your true face, only knowing how to borrow someone else's body!"

"Coward! Despicable!"

Lu Daocheng and the other self within his body argued incessantly, his expression changing back and forth; if anyone else were present, they would likely think he had come down with some illness.

Only he himself knew how anxious he was.

Since he was abducted and had his heart gouged out, a long time had passed by the time he woke up again, and he had learned through probing others that his body had actually been awake during the time he was unconscious.

An unknown powerhouse had performed Possession on him!

But... his own consciousness was still there.

It had achieved the appearance of one body with two souls.

He did not know who the person who possessed him was, and he was only incredibly anxious in his heart, fearing that this person would cause harm to the Lu Family.

Even though...

The other voice inside his body kept claiming to be him, but Lu Daocheng did not believe it at all.

Based on what he saw through internal observation, how could a person with such monstrous Demon Qi be himself?

He had family, an older brother and sister, and even his mother's deathbed care; how could he possibly turn into that kind of person?!

That was definitely not him!
