259: Another breakthrough, the combination of physical and magical powers

After receiving the System reward, Gu Liangyuan gave a few more instructions to the two women, then turned and disappeared.

When he reappeared, he was already back on Forget-Love Peak.

Just as Gu Liangyuan was about to go see Bai Qing and Wan Wan, he suddenly felt an anomaly in his Dantian.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that Jiang Wubing had reached Foundation Establishment, and his own Cultivation Realm was about to Breakthrough to Body Integration.

Previously, when Jiang Wubing was in Qi Refining, Gu Liangyuan had asked the System why Mo Chen's re-Cultivation could not be returned, but Jiang Wubing's could.

The System had given a clear answer: it takes the Cultivation Realm at the moment of accepting a Disciple as the starting point.

Mo Chen had been crippled after becoming a Disciple, so it was not possible.

Body Integration, as the name suggests, means to integrate into one.

Heaven and Earth integrate with me!

This integration is the integration of me with the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

To put it bluntly, it is the Physical Body and the Law.

To advance to the Body Integration Realm, one must possess Law.

Once Law and the Physical Body are integrated, using Divine Ability no longer requires internal magical power, but rather the utilization of Law to mobilize Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

At this stage, theoretically speaking, as long as Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi does not dry up, one can continue to fight indefinitely.

The further one progresses, the more the importance of Divine Ability is highlighted.

It is also at this stage that the benefits of Dual Cultivation of Body Cultivator and Law become apparent.

Ordinary Cultivators need to slowly temper their Physical Body while comprehending Law in the Body Integration Realm.

Without mentioning how powerful it is, at the very least, one's Physical Body must be able to withstand the erosion of massive Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi.

However, a Body Cultivator's Physical Body power is incomparably strong; they only need to Master Law to a certain Realm, and they can naturally reach Mahayana, which is several, even ten, times faster than the Cultivation speed of an ordinary Body Integration Realm.

Of course, those who do not Dual Cultivate Body Cultivator and Law are not fools; they know that Dual Cultivation of Body Cultivator and Law is powerful but do not Cultivate it.

This is because, before the Body Integration Realm, the Cultivation of a Body Cultivator will slow down normal Cultivation; those with slightly poorer Aptitude struggle even with specializing in Primordial Spirit, and if they Dual Cultivate Body Cultivator and Law, their Lifespan will be exhausted before reaching Body Integration.

Gu Liangyuan took a step and plunged into the Enlightenment Tower.

Upon arriving at the Enlightenment Tower, he immediately sat down cross-legged.

With a thought, the Law of Water moved with his will and slowly integrated into his body.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the Fusion was complete.

Gu Liangyuan slightly clenched his fist, feeling that he was now more than ten times stronger than when he was in the Void Refinement Realm.

Even his Physical Body Cultivation had increased.

If he were to encounter the three Body Integration Cultivators he killed before, he could kill them with one sword strike!

According to the normal progression steps, reaching this point would be considered a complete Body Integration.

But Gu Liangyuan was different; how could several Laws stop here?

With another thought, the Law of Fire followed closely, gradually integrating.

This time, the Fusion process was slightly slower, but it didn't take long before it was complete.

As the Law of Fire entered his body, Gu Liangyuan's Aura surged again!

The increase in Law was not in Cultivation, but in combat power.

With the entry of the Law of Fire, Gu Liangyuan felt his combat power increase by at least another fold.

Then, the six great Laws of Slaughter, Space, Chess, Yin and Yang, Time, and Karma were applied in the same way.

After all the Body Integration was successful, Gu Liangyuan let out a light breath, then looked inward at his Dantian.

He saw that the Jade Pond within his Dantian was tens of times larger than before.

Due to the overly abundant Chaos Qi, it had transformed into a hazy gray mist, floating within his Dantian.

The eight Laws of Slaughter, Space, Time, Chess, Yin and Yang, Karma, Water, and Fire, transformed into chain-like forms, spanning above the Jade Pond.

As Gu Liangyuan's thoughts moved, these Laws would instantly permeate his entire body, to be used by Gu Liangyuan.

But what puzzled Gu Liangyuan was that the Chaos Spiritual Qi in his body seemed to have some inevitable connection with these Laws.

These Laws replaced the Spiritual Root, continuously absorbing powers such as Water and Fire, Yin and Yang, and Space.

Then, they were slowly released within the Dantian, transforming into Chaos Spiritual Qi.

"Chaos, the mother of all things."

Gu Liangyuan's mind was enlightened, and he slowly spoke these words, vaguely understanding something.

He retracted his Aura, Gu Liangyuan circulated his magical power, suppressing his Cultivation to the Void Refining Early Stage, and then contentedly came to the second floor of the Enlightenment Tower, preparing to see Jiang Wubing, but found that he was still in seclusion.

So Gu Liangyuan left the Enlightenment Tower and came to Zai Xiyue's residence.

"Master!"

Upon seeing Gu Liangyuan, Zai Xiyue appeared exceptionally excited.

Due to her difference from the Disciples of Forget-Love Peak, Zai Xiyue did not want to go out and see other people.

So, just like before in the cave, she kept herself confined to her room all day.

Now, seeing Gu Liangyuan arrive, she was naturally delighted.

She subconsciously wanted to step forward and get close to Gu Liangyuan, but feeling her still not fully solidified body, she subconsciously retreated.

Gu Liangyuan smiled slightly at the sight, stepped forward, and stroked Zai Xiyue's head.

The Chaos Spiritual Qi in his body activated, entering through Zai Xiyue's Celestial Spirit, and circulating through her body along the operational route of the Supreme Forgetfulness Scripture.

After one cycle, this Chaos Qi transformed into incomparably pure ghostly Qi, solidifying Zai Xiyue's still unsolidified legs into a physical form.

This was precisely the characteristic of Chaos magical power that Gu Liangyuan discovered during his Body Integration: it could evolve into any known energy.

Zai Xiyue tentatively took two steps, then cautiously extended an index finger towards Gu Liangyuan.

Gu Liangyuan also extended an index finger, gently touching Zai Xiyue's index finger.

The sun was setting, and the afterglow happened to fall on Gu Liangyuan's profile.

Zai Xiyue looked up at Revered Master, feeling the gentle touch at her fingertips, and looking at the heartwarming smile on Revered Master's face.

For a moment, she giggled foolishly.

He withdrew his hand, Gu Liangyuan ignored Zai Xiyue's reluctant expression, and took out a black pearl with a backhand.

Ghostly Qi continuously emanated from the pearl.

"This Ghost Condensing Pearl was made by your Revered Master using a Ghost Cultivator at the Lianxu Peak Realm, combined with top-grade Yin Nurturing Jade."

"With this Ghost Condensing Pearl, you won't have to worry about ghostly Qi before Void Refining."

Zai Xiyue reached out and took it: "Thank you, Revered Master."

"Ding, Host bestowed a Void Refining Realm Ghost Condensing Pearl, triggering a fiftyfold return, returning reward: fifty Void Refining Realm Ghost Condensing Pearls."

Listening to the System's prompt, Gu Liangyuan regretted not triggering a high-multiplier return, but he could accept it.

This was already quite a lot.

After giving Zai Xiyue a few more instructions and teaching her some simple ghostly Dao Spells, Gu Liangyuan left.

Unfortunately, there were no high-multiplier returns triggered later.

When Gu Liangyuan reappeared, he was already outside a city.

Shui Mu City, one of the Supreme's properties.

Previously, only one-third of the shops in Shui Mu City belonged to the Supreme, but through Bai Qing's efforts, the entire Shui Mu City had been purchased.

Gu Liangyuan stood with his hands behind his back, suspended between Heaven and Earth.

He was clearly outside Shui Mu City, and there were quite a few Cultivators coming and going, yet no one discovered Gu Liangyuan's presence.

Cultivators in the Eastern Continent at the Soul Transformation Realm and below are often seen, but Cultivators above the Soul Transformation Realm either Cultivate in seclusion or are in Holy Lands and major sects, rarely appearing in the Eastern Continent Cultivation World.

Therefore, at this moment, Gu Liangyuan, even setting aside his identity and status, was solely by his Cultivation Realm, already considered a mighty figure in the Eastern Continent.

Gu Liangyuan looked at Shui Mu City, and a golden light flashed across his brow, then disappeared.

Under the enhancement of the Innate Divine Eyes, golden clouds permeated the sky above Shui Mu City, and purple Qi ascended.

These golden clouds and purple Qi were not other things, but Luck transformed.

An individual has their individual Luck, a city has its city's Luck, and a sect also has its sect's Luck.

The Forget-Love Peak's Luck Dragon was the result of the manifestation of Forget-Love Peak's Luck.

In fact, a world also has its world's Luck.

However, observing the Luck of a world requires a massive amount of magical power, which Gu Liangyuan, with his current Cultivation Realm, cannot achieve.

He can only partially intercept the flow of Luck by relying on the Congenital Yi Number.

Looking at the extraordinary phenomenon of Shui Mu City, Gu Liangyuan was very satisfied.
