Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 233 Annihilation of the Primordial Spirit
In the world of cultivation, a cultivator at the Qi Refining Realm who has their head chopped off dies instantly.

Foundation Establishment cultivators may possess some secret techniques or special methods that allow them to reattach their heads.

But in reality, if the knife is swift and ruthless, even if the head can't be reattached, the person will still die.

It's just that because of its strong vitality, it can withstand the test for a while longer.

Ultimately, they will still die.

It can be said that in the two basic realms of cultivation, being beheaded is certain death, with absolutely no chance of survival!
However, cultivators at the Golden Core Realm or demonic beasts are different. Even if their bodies are destroyed and their bones are reduced to ashes, their primordial spirit can escape and, through some other means, truly have a chance to start over!
A cultivator at the Golden Core stage possesses an incredibly concentrated primordial spirit that can escape from the body and truly roam under the sunlight, enabling them to possess other living beings.

Another method is to possess a puppet or a spirit, even if no living being can possess it.

Slow down the dissipation of the primordial spirit, wait for the right opportunity, and start over.

However, the second method ultimately requires being reborn by possessing another's body and starting over.

As for that kind of reincarnation?
Since ancient times, there has been a legend of this cycle of reincarnation on the Southern Continent.

But whether this thing is reliable or not, nobody can say for sure.

Even prominent figures in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" rarely mention such taboo topics.

Ordinary Golden Core cultivators naturally have even less reason to expect the illusory concept of reincarnation.

Now, the demonic beast army that besieged the disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has been slaughtered, and the giant bear spirit has no one left to possess, so it can only choose to attack the human race.

A streak of light, as fast as lightning, shot towards the group of Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"Damn it! Why are they coming at me?"

Suddenly, Li Yunjing sensed something was wrong; it seemed that the streak of light was targeting him!

In fact, during the battle just now, everyone else was fighting in a conventional and normal manner.

Only Li Yunjing was the most agile, constantly teasing a group of ancient monsters around the battlefield, making them run around in circles.

He also frequently killed other monsters, so it can be said that Li Yunjing's performance was very impressive.

This scene had already been observed by the giant bear spirit, who was already quite dissatisfied with Li Yunjing.

At this moment, having been reborn through possession, without a second thought, he immediately went after Li Yunjing.

He wanted to devour Li Yunjing's soul and use Li Yunjing's body to achieve rebirth.

"careful!"

"Get away!"

……

Those around him also noticed something was wrong and began to warn Li Yunjing. At the same time, they all breathed a sigh of relief, finally relieved that they no longer had to face the Demon King's attempt to possess them.

Even though this demon king is finished, a third-tier demon king's primordial spirit is still more refined and stronger than a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

If they really come at them, it's hard to predict who will win or lose.

Even if you win, your soul will suffer considerable damage.

Now, seeing that Li Yunjing had taken the blame for them, they all naturally showed expressions of relief.

But thinking that this was not right, the fellow disciples once again restrained their emotions, their expressions became solemn, and they looked at Li Yunjing with concern.

"Good thing you came! Do you think I'm afraid of you!"

At this moment, Li Yunjing had no chance to dodge. In just an instant, the stream of light rushed into his brow and entered his sea of ​​consciousness.

"not good!"

Seeing this, Yu Yuanhua put away his magic weapon and flashed to Li Yunjing's side.

This powerful figure at the Golden Core Realm stared intently at him, determined to destroy his body once he confirmed that Li Yunjing's spirit and will had failed in their battle against the giant bear demon.

The other disciples also gathered around, looking at Li Yunjing with worried expressions.

Li Yunjing's face turned pale and then red, with large beads of sweat rolling down his face, indicating that he was feeling very unwell.

Within Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness, within the universe of his sea of ​​consciousness, a giant bear primordial spirit had already appeared.

As soon as the primordial spirit entered Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness, countless dense tentacles radiated out from it, attempting to envelop Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness universe.

"Bear spirit! You want to take over my sea of ​​consciousness? That's utterly ridiculous!"

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, Li Yunjing's spiritual will roared like thunder.

Although Li Yunjing's spirit was much weaker than that of the giant bear spirit, and they were not even in the same league, Li Yunjing had the advantage of having the home field and the continuous supply of qi and blood from his body to strengthen his spirit.

Within his own sea of ​​consciousness, Li Yunjing was truly unafraid of this third-tier demon king.

Despite being possessed by a third-tier demon king, Li Yunjing remained defiant and continued to challenge him.

"Boy, you little Foundation Establishment Realm ant, how dare you be so insolent before me? I'll wipe you out first!"

The giant bear spirit roared and immediately launched an even fiercer attack, attempting to seize Li Yunjing's entire sea of ​​consciousness.

Although the giant bear spirit's primordial spirit is condensed and can detach from the body for a short time to survive in the outside world, it cannot survive for a long time.

This is why the giant bear spirit was so eager to possess and seize another body.

It appears very powerful now, but in reality, it is extremely anxious and wants to quickly eliminate Li Yunjing's consciousness.

This allows them to take over Li Yunjing's body, provide energy for their primordial spirit, and continue to live.

"Then give it a try!"

Li Yunjing snorted coldly, showing great disdain.

His mental strength is formidable, coupled with the power of his home field, and there is also mysterious energy deep within his sea of ​​consciousness. I don't believe he can't subdue a mere primordial spirit.

As Li Yunjing's voice fell, within the universe of his consciousness, the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal," under Li Yunjing's urging, flew from the depths of his consciousness toward the giant bear spirit's primordial spirit.

The Imperial Seal pierced through the sea of ​​consciousness and the cosmic starry sky, descending to suppress!

"Impossible! A prototype of a magical artifact? A spiritual treasure?"

"What is this? It resembles a magic weapon but is not a magic weapon! It resembles a spiritual artifact but is not a spiritual artifact!"

"It doesn't seem like a spiritual treasure!"

"This kid is a bit strange!"

The giant bear spirit was starting to regret it; it seemed it had chosen the wrong target for possession!

Li Yunjing is not someone to be trifled with!
"Boom!"

In the next instant, the giant bear demon witnessed its power. The "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" trembled in mid-air within its sea of ​​consciousness, immediately suppressing the demon.

At the same time, the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" was constantly emitting bursts of thunderous power.

If he were in the outside world, the giant bear spirit would not be afraid of these thunderous forces, but now that he is in his primordial spirit state, what he fears most is the most masculine and powerful force between heaven and earth!

What could be more powerful than the force of thunder?

"Ah You……"

Struck by the aftershock of a single bolt of lightning, the giant bear spirit cried out in alarm, its face contorted in pain, its very soul teetering on the brink of collapse.

The shape of the giant bear's primordial spirit seemed to have dimmed considerably.

Within the sea of ​​consciousness, countless points of light rapidly coalesced, and before long, Li Yunjing's figure appeared within the sea of ​​consciousness.

This is the physical form that his spiritual power condensed within his sea of ​​consciousness.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, Li Yunjing's spiritual power could transform in countless ways, becoming whatever he desired.

At this moment, as soon as Li Yunjing's spiritual body appeared, he used the power of his entire sea of ​​consciousness to launch a powerful spiritual attack. He moved with lightning speed and arrived in front of the giant bear spirit in an instant.

With the help of the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal", a single strike was enough to weaken the opponent's spirit and dim their primordial spirit.

Faced with the sudden invasion, Li Yunjing fought with increasing ferocity, defeating the giant bear spirit and forcing it to retreat in defeat.

To the outsiders, Li Yunjing's physical body appeared to be perfectly still, with his eyes closed, seemingly immortal and without any fluctuations. However, divine light shone brilliantly from between his eyebrows.

This scene reassured Yu Yuanhua and his group considerably.

They knew that Li Yunjing was going all out to fight back against the giant bear spirit.

Meanwhile, the divine light emanating from Li Yunjing's divine consciousness amazed many of his fellow disciples.

How could a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator at the first level have such powerful spiritual energy?

They're almost on par with cultivators at the third level of the Foundation Establishment Realm!
Even Yu Yuanhua nodded in approval. This kid truly lived up to his reputation as someone specially sent by the higher-ups to participate in the true disciple assessment.

Putting aside other aspects, his mental strength alone far surpasses that of other cultivators of the same level.

Such a person might actually make a name for himself in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" and become a seed for the Golden Core Realm.

At this moment, Li Yunjing had no energy to pay attention to the outside world. He kept using his divine sense to activate the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" to bombard the giant bear spirit.

On his home turf, Li Yunjing's spiritual power was terrifying, almost completely suppressing the giant bear spirit, rendering it unable to move.

"Ah... Damn it! I've been tricked! I shouldn't have entered this little beast's sea of ​​consciousness!"

With no way out, the giant bear spirit could only wail in despair. After thousands of years of arduous cultivation, he had risen from nothing to become a demon king, invincible and full of pride. He never expected that he would die at the hands of a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator!
How tragic is this?
The giant bear spirit's primordial spirit gradually shrank to the size of a speck of dust, and was finally absorbed into the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal," completely dissipating.

"Boom!"

The primordial spirit of a Golden Core cultivator was killed by Li Yunjing!

An endless storm of spiritual energy blooms within one's own sea of ​​consciousness; this is the purest form of spiritual energy.

The "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal" hovered above Li Yunjing's spiritual body, constantly rotating. Streams of power were drawn in by this top-grade magic artifact and merged into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Especially when they entered the most mysterious depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, the sea of ​​thunder.

These energies caused the depths of the Thunder Sea to churn.

Boundless purple light surged forth from the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness, pouring into the "Heavenly Thunder Emperor Seal." Furthermore, streams of power flowed through the Baihui, Du meridian, Tanzhong, and Guanyuan acupoints, entering the middle and lower dantian.

The essence of a Golden Core Realm demon king's primordial spirit began to nourish Li Yunjing's spirit, thus generating more true essence, which then nourished his body through various parts of his body.

As the purple light faded until it became completely transparent and disappeared, Li Yunjing's spirit became incredibly full, even enhanced once again, allowing him to see through everything within an eighteen-mile radius.

After withdrawing his mental energy, Li Yunjing's body surface seemed to remain unchanged, still the same as before.

In fact, once he reopened his eyes and regained control of his body, he realized that he was different from others.

His body was strengthened once again; his speed, strength, reaction time, and intensity were all incredibly powerful.

Moreover, the most important memories of the entire life of a third-tier demon king were all integrated into Li Yunjing's sea of ​​consciousness. This demon life memory was incredibly long.

From its very birth to its death today, it spans more than a thousand years, equivalent to a period of ancient history.

If we set aside the unimportant memories, the memories of cultivation and experiences alone would be enough for Li Yunjing to review for two or three years.

The giant bear spirit's extraordinary ability of "three heads and six arms" was also found in Li Yunjing's memory.

This supernatural power is based on demonic power and cannot be directly cultivated by Li Yunjing. However, after a brief glance, he still found it to be of great value.

Perhaps by handing over this demon king's inheritance, one could exchange it for the "Three Heads and Six Arms" great supernatural power from the sect, allowing oneself to learn this unique skill as well.

In short, the benefits of a Golden Core Realm Demon King are too numerous for Li Yunjing to fully appreciate, and now is not a good time for him to continue observing.

This demon king had a tremendous impact on Li Yunjing; it was more useful than any rare and precious treasure.

Temporarily suppressing his urge to examine the giant bear spirit's memories, Li Yunjing looked at his fellow disciples.

Upon seeing Li Yunjing open his eyes, Yu Yuanhua, with his keen observation, noticed many changes in Li Yunjing after only a short while.

Both spiritually and physically, it seems that they have achieved a kind of sublimation.

Yu Yuanhua was unsure whether Li Yunjing or the giant bear spirit had won. With this worry in mind, he not only didn't inquire about Li Yunjing's situation, but instead stared at Li Yunjing with predatory eyes, as if he would immediately kill him if he sensed anything amiss.

Li Yunjing looked around and saw that his fellow disciples all looked nervous, especially Yu Yuanhua, whose attitude towards him was extremely unfriendly, almost like that of an enemy.

His eyes darted around, and he immediately understood what was going on.

Li Yunjing looked at the elder with a wry smile and reminded him, "Elder Yu, why don't you take a look with the 'Thousand-Mile Tracking Mirror'?"

Hearing Li Yunjing say such things, everyone around breathed a sigh of relief, and even Yu Yuanhua's expression softened.

"Okay! Let me check!"

Although he had gained some initial trust in Li Yunjing, he still remained cautious. After Li Yunjing's reminder, Yu Yuanhua took out a mirror from his storage ring.

This is the "Thousand-Mile Tracking Mirror" mass-produced by the "Shenxiao Dao Sect". This item is definitely an excellent magic weapon for detecting demons.

No evil spirit can escape the detection of the "long-range tracking mirror".

In particular, the giant bear spirit was left with only a Golden Core stage primordial spirit.

Li Yunjing shook his head helplessly. This was the second time he had been checked by the "Thousand-Mile Tracking Mirror". He didn't know if this was a record of a disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

Yu Yuanhua held the "Thousand-Mile Tracking Mirror" and repeatedly shone it on the object for a quarter of an hour. Only after confirming that there was nothing unusual did he put the magic away with peace of mind.
