After a moment of contemplation, the remnant soul of Ancestor Murong said, "It's not entirely impossible. Seizing a body is frowned upon by the heavens, but the path of cultivation is inherently filled with unknowns and dangers.
Low-level cultivators might not perceive it, but once one cultivates to the Tribulation Transcendence stage, the terror of the lightning tribulation will likely turn them to ashes in eight or nine out of ten cases.
Therefore, cultivators will not choose body seizure unless absolutely necessary. If you can help me reincarnate, that would be the best outcome, and it would not have been a wasted trip."
Li Chengfeng smiled calmly, "I'll help you reincarnate, but what benefits can you give me? Besides the 'Profound Magnet Heavenly Cosmos' technique, is there anything else worth exchanging?"
Ancestor Murong nodded helplessly, "Do you think I wouldn't want to? This wisp of my remnant soul crossed realms, and my memories are already incomplete.
Unless I truly reincarnate and a powerful figure from the underworld uses secret methods to preserve my complete memories, I'm fortunate enough to remember the 'Profound Magnet Heavenly Cosmos' cultivation method. This is truly a last resort."
Li Chengfeng nodded in understanding, "What you say makes sense. Alright, I will do my best to help you reincarnate.
But you must transmit the 'Profound Magnet Heavenly Cosmos' technique to me word for word. If you dare to play tricks, I have ways to make you vanish into thin air during reincarnation."
Ancestor Murong, having lived for nearly a hundred thousand years, prided himself on his unparalleled wisdom, thinking that once he descended to the mortal realm, he could easily manipulate those younger generations with his extraordinary intellect.
However, things are unpredictable, and he suffered a defeat in his first battle. The vessel carefully chosen by his clan not only possessed unfathomable cultivation but also practiced exquisite techniques that far exceeded his imagination.
Instead of successfully seizing control of the situation as he had hoped, he was ridiculed and humiliated, pinned to the ground in a sorry state, losing all face.
Ancestor Murong's heart burned with anger, and he almost wanted to perish together with his opponent to save face. But then he thought that this wisp of his remnant soul had exhausted countless rare materials to cross over to the lower realm, and he had also relied on the power of the statue left in the mortal world to see the light of day again.
To give up? How reluctant he was! Therefore, he suppressed his anger and forced out a smile, saying, "Alright, in that case, let's make a gentleman's agreement. You help me, and I'll help you, a mutually beneficial win-win situation, how about it?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengfeng's lips curled into a sneer, and he said coldly, "You seem to misunderstand the situation. This is not a 'mutual benefit,' but my grace.
If your technique didn't have some value, I would have already erased you. Now, you just need to obediently hand over the technique, and perhaps you can still preserve a trace of your remnant soul."
As soon as these words came out, Ancestor Murong's face changed drastically, extremely embarrassed.
He had not expected this young junior to be so disrespectful, but he was helpless. He could only hate inwardly, but on the surface, he remained calm. In a flash of thought, his fragmented soul had already quietly transmitted the essence of his lifelong techniques to Li Chengfeng.
After receiving it, a strange look flashed across Li Chengfeng's face, and then his eyes shone brightly as he praised, "'Profound Magnet Heavenly Cosmos,' truly worthy of its reputation, it has broadened my horizons!
So the cultivation of techniques can be so profound and infinite, especially the Profound Compassionate Divine Light, which is only known in the human realm as a substance that restrains the five elements.
But after you ascended to the Spirit Realm, you were able to fuse multiple divine lights to achieve the realm of restraining nine lights and invulnerability to all techniques, which is truly amazing!"
After saying that, Li Chengfeng changed the topic and suggested, "Ancestor Murong, you are exceptionally strong, and your understanding of techniques has reached the pinnacle.
I intend to let you be reborn in the body of an outstanding young disciple of our Murong family. In this way, you can avoid the suffering of reincarnation.
You can also ensure the stability of your soul and merge with the host before the fetus is fully formed, and the path of cultivation will surely be twice as effective with half the effort. What do you think of this plan?"
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Murong's heart was filled with mixed feelings. After much deliberation, he finally nodded in agreement.
Now that the underworld has been destroyed and the path of reincarnation is chaotic, the risks of reincarnating through traditional methods are unpredictable.
He gritted his teeth and said decisively, "Alright, I'll do as you say!"
Li Chengfeng nodded in satisfaction, secretly pleased with himself. He knew that he had firmly grasped the initiative in this transaction.
Although he did not fully believe Ancestor Murong's promises and words, he did not take them to heart. After all, the direction of the future was already within his plans.
Looking at Li Chengfeng's confident appearance, Ancestor Murong was extremely anxious, knowing that he was now a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
"The time my remnant soul can exist is getting shorter and shorter. If I can't find a place to settle down in time, I'm afraid I will completely dissipate between heaven and earth, and all my efforts will be in vain," he said anxiously.
Li Chengfeng smiled calmly and reassured him, "You don't need to worry about this, I have my own ways to help you."
After saying that, he waved his hand gently, and the world seemed to be sealed by an invisible force. Ancestor Murong's remnant soul was also tightly bound by a mysterious power, unable to escape.
"I have already sealed your soul to ensure that it will not dissipate. You should be relieved now, right?"
Although Ancestor Murong felt helpless, he knew that this was the best outcome at present and could only reluctantly accept it.
Li Chengfeng then took out his soul and gently placed it on the Yellow Springs Ghost Tree, instructing, "Yellow Springs Ghost Tree, take good care of him and chat with him when you have nothing to do.
But remember, I have set a seal in his body, and he cannot harm you.
Of course, don't think about devouring him, that's impossible."
Upon hearing this, the Yellow Springs Ghost Tree let out a series of low laughs, as if responding to Li Chengfeng's order, and also as if mocking Ancestor Murong's overestimation of his abilities.
"Don't worry, Master, I will definitely keep him company. This old thing dares to go against Master, and sooner or later, he will end up with his soul scattered."
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Murong was furious, but he could do nothing. He could only bury his anger and unwillingness deep in his heart.
Li Chengfeng ignored Ancestor Murong and turned his gaze to the statue.
Now that the remnant soul of Ancestor Murong was no longer interfering with the statue, it had become a valuable material in his hands.
He nodded in satisfaction. This material was indeed extraordinary and enough to support his next plan.
He sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and concentrated, beginning to carefully comprehend the techniques left by Ancestor Murong.
As he deepened his understanding of the techniques, a satisfied smile gradually appeared on his face.
The exquisiteness of this technique far exceeded his imagination. Coupled with the Great Prophecy Technique in his hands, the two complemented each other, allowing his strength to rise to another level.
"If I can find another suitable technique, I can gather three and lay a solid foundation for breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage."
Li Chengfeng thought to himself.
He knew that he was not far from that realm, and the fusion of these three techniques would undoubtedly be the key to his breakthrough.
Li Chengfeng's thinking was clear and far-reaching. He knew that to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, he must build an indestructible system of techniques.
The Great Prophecy Technique, the Reincarnation Technique, and the Profound Magnet Heavenly Cosmos, which restrains the five elements, if these three can be perfectly integrated, it will undoubtedly be the cornerstone of his cultivation leap.
However, the complexity and profundity of the Reincarnation Disk made him feel an unprecedented challenge. A year of research had still not allowed him to see its full picture. This made him realize the vastness of the Reincarnation Path, which could not be comprehended in a day or two.
