Chapter 463 Nascent Soul Divine Power

what?
Nezha looked bewildered, seemingly not understanding Lin Yu's meaning.

But soon he noticed the abnormality in his body, so he quickly climbed out of the pit and looked at his long limbs with surprise.

"My body?!"

"its not bad, right?"

Lin Yu laughed and said, "This is your true form, unaffected by the suppression of the Universe Ring!"

I see—wait, the Universe Ring?!

Nezha was startled and hurriedly raised his hand to touch his neck.

But before he could reach for his neck, a golden light caught his eye on his wrist.

"It's really been picked..."

Nezha looked at the golden bracelet on his wrist with a slightly complicated expression, then seemed to remember something and silently looked at the terrifying scene around him that resembled a magma inferno.

"I...did I do all of this?"

"Well, I guess so!"

"..."

Nezha fell silent for a moment, then lowered his arm and said with a somewhat somber expression, "Please, lock the Universe Ring back in!"

"..."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow, looking intrigued, and said, "What, are you afraid that even with the restrictions lifted, you still won't be a match for me?"

"Who's afraid?!"

Nezha subconsciously raised his eyebrows and retorted.

But then he realized what was happening, gave a wry smile, and avoided Lin Yu's gaze.

"I'm worried that I'll lose consciousness again and cause a huge disaster..."

Lin Yu laughed and said, "You're worried about this too?"

Nezha glared at him and said, "Is that not allowed?"

"It seems your mother really raised you well."

Lin Yu looked at Nezha thoughtfully, then smiled and raised his hand, waving his sleeve in Nezha's surprised gaze.

In an instant, strange phenomena occurred within a radius of 100 meters: the burning flames were quickly extinguished, and the flowing magma was rapidly frozen.

Countless pebbles rose into the air, returning to the ground and courtyard walls like swallows returning to their nests, instantly merging with the stone bricks and restoring the site to its previous intact state.

In addition, the burning dead wood also regains its vitality, and the rising ashes quickly roll back and condense into green leaves on the newly grown branches.

Everything seemed to have reversed time, returning to the state before the two of them fought.

Nezha stared in disbelief at the scene before him. After a long while, he finally came to his senses and exclaimed excitedly:

"Amazing!"

"What kind of method is this?!"

Lin Yu looked at the intact courtyard around him, smiled slightly, and said leisurely:
"Heavenly Gang Righteous Law, Returning Wind and Fire!"

During the years he traveled through "A Chinese Ghost Story", his Xuanyuan Sword clone was also busy.

Not only did he travel all over China, collecting martial arts techniques from various schools, he even took the time to visit the abandoned Heavenly Court and packed up the entire Heavenly Court ruins to take away.

Naturally, he acquired many supernatural powers and techniques from the mythological world.

Unfortunately, most of these supernatural powers are either abridged or simplified versions of those from the main world, and their power and effects are far from comparable to the genuine supernatural powers in mythology.

However, for Lin Yu, this level of supernatural power was just right.

He referenced the principles and ideas of these supernatural powers and techniques, combined them with the characteristics of the Nascent Soul stage itself, and incorporated them into his self-created Thirty-Six Nascent Soul Supernatural Powers.

The Returning Wind and Returning Fire is one of these moves, which can be considered a knock-off version of the authentic Tiangang Technique.

The principle is roughly based on the control of energy particles during the Nascent Soul stage. By reading the particle trajectories and memories, it can be made to return to a state from a certain point in time...

"Let the wind blow back, let the burning flames shrink back."

"Returning the wind and fire, this is simply a divine technique!"

Nezha looked at Lin Yu excitedly and asked, "Are you an immortal?"

Lin Yu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "That depends on your understanding of the word 'immortal'!"

"The people of the world have different understandings and perceptions of immortals. Some people believe that immortality is the key to becoming an immortal. Being able to live as long as the heavens and the earth is the true immortal."

"Some people believe that immortals are like mountains; those who cultivate themselves to become as powerful as mountains can become immortals..."

Nezha listened thoughtfully, and couldn't help but ask, "And what about you?"

"Me?" Lin Yu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I have rather high standards for immortals. If one is to be an immortal, one must be free and unfettered, not bound by any worldly conditioned laws, right?"

What is meant by "all conditioned phenomena"?

"Simply put, it refers to all phenomena that arise from causes and conditions, including all things, matter, consciousness, spirit, and the existence of all phenomena."

Doesn't that also include all living beings in the Three Realms, and even the glorious Heavenly Dao?!

To think you can even break free from the constraints of the Heavenly Dao? What a boastful tone!

Nezha was stunned by the arrogance contained in those words, staring at the white-robed youth in shock, unable to snap out of his daze for a moment.

Lin Yu glanced at the sky above, then looked down at the stunned Nezha, and smiled slightly:

"Are you still playing?"

Nezha snapped out of his daze and instinctively asked, "What are we playing?"

Lin Yu glanced around, then with a flick of his wrist, retrieved a feather shuttlecock from the base of the wall, and chuckled:
"this!"

"Yeah!"

Nezha's eyes lit up; he was clearly delighted with Lin Yu's suggestion.

Since birth, his favorite form of entertainment has been kicking shuttlecock. However, he is naturally strong and has never formally studied martial arts, so he cannot control his strength well.

Even the strongest mother in the General's Mansion couldn't withstand his playful, monstrous strength.

But the white-clad youth before him was the strongest person Nezha had ever seen in his life.

If it were him, he should be able to have a lot of fun with me, right? Nezha thought excitedly.

But he soon paid the price for his rashness—

"Oh!"

With a loud crash, Nezha smashed through the courtyard wall once again and fell into the pile of rubble.

He broke free from the rubble, leaped to his feet, and glared at Lin Yu, saying:
"It's just kicking a shuttlecock, why are you using so much force?"

"Is it big?"

Lin Yu's leisurely voice came from the side.

Nezha was slightly taken aback and quickly turned his head to look. He saw a second young man in white sitting leisurely on a stone bench in a stone pavilion not far away, slowly brewing hot tea.

……what's going on?

How come there are two Lin Yus?
Nezha's eyes widened, his gaze shifting between the two Lin Yu figures in front of him and in the stone pavilion, and he couldn't help but ask:

"What kind of method is this?!"

"An incarnation outside the body."

Lin Yu, who was making tea, answered leisurely, then glanced at him and said, "What I did was simply to use their own methods against them, to be strong when facing the strong and weak when facing the weak."

"If you feel you have too much strength, try to control it."

"As long as you can control your own power, you can easily neutralize my attacks..."

That's it!

Nezha snapped out of his daze and cheered, "Again!"

"Oh!"

With another loud bang, Nezha was sent flying backward once more, slammed against the wall by the shuttlecock, which carried immense force.

Clearly, achieving complete control over one's strength is far more complex than Nezha imagined.

But he did not get discouraged. He was knocked away by the shuttlecock time and time again, but he got up from the rocks again and again and returned to Lin Yu in a rage.

The intense, tangy sensation truly reminded him of the feelings he used to experience when his mother played shuttlecock with him.

This is why, amidst his anger and resentment, Nezha also felt a pang of guilt and gratitude towards his mother.

This kind of 'playing' was simply torture. Even he had the urge to explode at Lin Yu, but his mother was willing to play with him to the end. No matter how badly she was injured, she never complained even once.

Thinking of this, Nezha's stubbornness kicked in, and he was determined to master the skill of kicking the shuttlecock.

Gradually, he discovered something strange: during the game of kicking the shuttlecock, no matter how much force was applied by both sides, the shuttlecock itself remained intact.

Such precise control of force is truly astonishing.

Nezha seemed to have grasped something, carefully experiencing the mysteries within, and finally, after about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he successfully mastered the techniques of controlling his strength.

After he fully mastered the technique, what was originally a one-sided beating finally turned into enjoyable play.

Nezha's mood improved as a result, and he happily played shuttlecock with Lin Yu's avatar.

An hour later, Lin Yu glanced at the white clouds in the sky, finally stood up, and waved his sleeve to dispel the external avatar.

"call out--"

The shuttlecock, flying at high speed, was frozen in mid-air.

Nezha was slightly taken aback and looked at Lin Yu in the stone pavilion with surprise.

"Not playing anymore?"

"We're not playing anymore."

Lin Yu shook his head and said with a smile, "It's getting late. To avoid any misunderstanding from the host, I, this uninvited guest, should leave the General's Mansion for now..."

"Leaving now?"

Nezha looked disappointed and said with some reluctance, "You can stay."

Lin Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "I have my own things to take care of, so I can't keep playing shuttlecock with you."

Nezha was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "What if... I become your disciple?"

Lin Yu was taken aback upon hearing this, and asked in surprise, "You want to become my disciple?"

Nezha curled his lip and said, "Isn't this rebellion?"

"You've demonstrated so many extraordinary abilities in front of me, even playing shuttlecock with me and teaching me how to control my strength. Aren't you trying to take me as your disciple?"

"Of course not!" Lin Yu chuckled, then shook his head and said, "You little rascal, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve. It's a pity we're not related as master and disciple, otherwise I wouldn't mind teaching you some skills."

It turns out not to be so?
Nezha was disappointed, but he forced a smile and said, "I am disappointed."

"Fine, I won't accept you. I didn't want to become your disciple anyway!"

"Ha ha!"

Lin Yu laughed loudly, then immediately raised his hand, flipped it over, took out an entry token, and threw it to Nezha.

Nezha instinctively took the token, gazing at the mysterious eye-like mark on it, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"what is this?"

"A gift."

"..."

Nezha's eyes lit up, and he asked expectantly, "Is this for me?"

Lin Yu nodded with a smile, then stepped forward. Clouds and mist appeared out of thin air beneath his feet, lifting him upward and hovering above the General's Mansion.

Nezha was taken aback upon seeing this, and hurriedly put away the token, shouting loudly:
"Wait, I don't even know your name!"

"The space above and below, and the four directions, are called the universe; the past and present are called time..."

The young man in white rode away on a cloud, leaving behind only a lingering utterance:

"My name is Lin Yu, and I am known as the True Lord of the Universe."

"Little Nezha, take this token. If fate allows, we will meet again in the future!"
