Inch of Radiance

Chapter 19.1 – Supreme Expert

Book 1 Chapter 19.1 – Supreme Expert

“You absolutely must not use Xiantian qi to defend your mind!” Xiang Yu reminded.

Li Yang immediately replied, “I understand what you are saying, since as soon as I try to resist, that white-bearded elder would definitely notice and refuse to let me use the medicine. However, if I don’t resist, what would I have to do to retain my memory as well as avoid being discovered? Overlord, what do you think?” Li Yang’s tone was rather strange, as he understood that there was a reason why Xiang Yu did not want him to resist. That Xiang Yu definitely had a method that didn’t alarm Bai Yang and preserved his memory at the same time.

Xiang Yu replied in an arrogant manner, “Of course this matter is simple. As long as Overlord’s primordial spirit wraps around your soul, no matter what that old fart does, heng heng. With that measly amount of power, it won’t even be enough to shake Overlord’s primordial spirit. As long as Overlord moves your energy a bit, it will make him think that his skill succeeded!”

Following that, Li Yang felt a stream of powerful energy encircle his consciousness.

Bai Yang’s eyes suddenly opened, and a radiant light flickered. It seemed as if the entire laboratory was lit up, and Bai Yang suddenly coldly shouted with a sha sound.

That ‘Soul’ seal immediately rushed into Li Yang’s body.

“Houtian brat, erasing your memories is simply too easy. If it was a Xiantian expert, then it would be difficult. Luckily, this brat only recently reached the peak of the Houtian realm and did not reach the Xiantian realm yet.” Bai Yang muttered to himself while at the same time feeling Li Yang’s internal situation. Suddenly, a wave of energy fluctuated, causing Bai Yang’s face to reveal a smiling expression.

“Excellent, now I can let him use the B1 gene medicine!” Bai Yang took out a small case from his bosom, and within this case was a bottle of the B1 gene medicine.

“Overlord, is this energy wrapped around me your primordial spirit’s energy?” Li Yang asked, as his consciousness was aware that there was a large and powerful stream of energy.

Xiang Yu proudly replied, “Of course, this is indeed Overlord’s primordial spirit’s energy. However, Overlord’s current primordial spirit’s energy is at its lowest state, and can’t even be considered a thousandth of the past’s amount.” Xiang Yu was clearly pleased with himself, and made sure Li Yang knew how formidable he was in the past.

Li Yang was indeed shaken. If the current powerful and limitless power wasn’t even a thousandths of what it was in the past, then how powerful exactly was Xiang Yu before?

“When would I be able to reach such a realm?” Li Yang sighed, and longed for the future.

Xiang Yu arrogantly said, “Heng heng, Li Yang you brat, you haven’t even reached the Nascent Soul realm, yet you are thinking about the Primordial Spirit realm, you really are biting off more than you can chew.”

“Nascent Soul? Primordial Spirit? What do these mean?” Li Yang was immediately confused.

TL: Nascent Soul is Yuanying and Primordial Spirit is Yuansheng in Chinese, so it’s a bit confusing.

Xiang Yu explained, “No matter who it is, their most fundamental essence is still the soul, and the soul is separated into three grades. The first grade is your current state, and can be considered the mortal’s ‘consciousness’, and your current soul doesn’t have much power. However, with the increase of your cultivation, your soul will slowly grow stronger. Once you form the Golden Dan, your soul’s energy will grow and develop the ‘Spirit Knowledge’.

The second stage is precisely the Nascent Soul, and it is also the result of the transformation of the soul after obtaining the Nascent Soul realm. The Nascent Soul has the ability to absorb energy on its own, to the point of where it is capable of separating itself from the physical body. The ‘consciousness’ at your current level cannot separate from the physical body.

The last stage would be Overlord’s current state, Primordial Spirit! The Primordial Spirit can only be slowly formed after obtaining the Paragon stage. In addition, the Primordial Spirit will develop ‘Divine Knowledge’, and the power of the Divine Knowledge far surpa.s.ses that of the ‘Spirit Knowledge’.”

After Li Yang heard this, he immediately understood a lot more. Li Yang feld a shudder within his heart, and immediately asked, “Ah, Overlord, since you managed to cultivate the Primordial Spirit, why are you in currently in this realm? The Nascent Soul can absorb energy on its own, so why is it that Overlord doesn’t absorb energy himself and then break through the void to enter the Devil Realm? Why is Overlord always within my mind? Could it be that I, Li Yang have some kind of attraction power?” Li Yang finally revealed the doubts within his mind.

When Xiang Yu heard this, he thought for a long time before saying, “Overlord’s Primordial Spirit can absorb energy, however, Primordial Spirits should not exist in this realm. Upon reaching the Paragon stage, cultivators will begin to develop their Primordial Spirits, and the higher realms will notice. They will then be recruited into the higher realms, and this is the so called breaking the void. However, Overlord cannot appear in the outside realms right now.”

“Why? Right, Overlord’s primordial spirit’s energy is only a thousandth that of the past, don’t tell me that these are related?” Li Yang was startled and asked.

Xiang Yu sighed and replied, “Right, there was a great war, and it was a great war in the Mortal realm. Alas, if it wasn’t for… forget it, even if I talked about it, you wouldn’t understand. In short, I represented the Devil realm in that great war and lost, and that’s why within the countless celestial bodies of the Mortal realm, earth is now a sovereignty under the Immortal realm. Once Overlord reveals himself, they will immediately notice, and at that time, they will definitely chase me down and kill me. This is also the reason why Overlord doesn’t absorb energy to improve my primordial spirit. Once Overlord’s primordial spirit reaches the limit of the Mortal realm, they will also notice.”

“This is why Overlord simply attached his primordial spirit to a stone, and never left it. Overlord’s primordial spirit never dared to leave that stone. Later on, you wore that stone, and Overlord took that opportunity to enter your body. Within your mind, as long as Overlord doesn’t breach the limit of the Mortal realm, it’ll be impossible for the Immortal Realm to notice my existence. That’s why Overlord can only depend on you, and hope that you can survive the heavenly tribulation. At that time, the Devil realm will automatically recruit you, and Overlord can also take the opportunity to enter together with you.”

When Li Yang heard this, he became even more skeptical. “Since this celestial body is controlled by the Immortal Realm, upon pa.s.sing through the tribulation, won’t the immortal realm send someone to kill me, who is cultivating in the Devil’s way?”

“Haha, Li Yang, this is where you are mistaken. Each realm indeed have their own agreements, however, when a mortal ascends, whether it is Devil, Immortal, Buddha, or Demon cultivation, they all cannot obstruct; this is a rule that every realm respects! However, Overlord cannot be cla.s.sified as someone ascending, and that is why they will chase me down and kill me!” Xiang Yu said.

Li Yang asked suspiciously, “Oh, Overlord can’t be considered someone that is ascending, so will it be possible to enter with me into the Devil Realm?”

“Of course, haven’t you heard of the phrase ‘chicken and dogs rise to Heaven’? As long as one person can ascend, he can bring with him others that haven’t yet reached the Paragon level. Of course, this is on the premise that he can protect them. The amount of chaotic energy produced by piercing the void is not a small amount.” Xiang Yu, leaving Li Yang completely gobsmacked.

When one person ascends, ‘chicken and dogs rise to heaven’ as well; there actually was such a saying!

“Ah!” Suddenly, a wave of violent pain shook Li Yang to his very soul.

What was going on?

This was because the gene medicine already entered Li Yang’s body…

Upon entering the body, the gene medicine will transform into a black energy, and the black energy will madly storm through Li Yang’s entire body. His entire body will be catalyzed, and it will continuously undergoing transformation as well as increase in strength.

The improvement of muscle strength should be step by step, however, this gene medicine clearly wanted to succeed in one go and increase the strength of his muscles in a short period of time.

Although it was like this and the improvement speed of his energy was increased, the severe pain and suffering that accompanied these effects were simply intolerable for Li Yang. That pain completely penetrated his bone marrow and provoked his muscles to the point that even the cells were stimulated!

Pain, so much pain within the nerves. Even the soul was largely impacted!

“Resist!” Li Yang persevered within his heart…
