After leaving behind one thousand Demon Slaying Points, Liu Bai concluded this exchange.
Before leaving the Great Thousand Tower, Lu Tong specifically sought out Liu Bai and gave him some pointers.
"How much do you know about Spiritual Pulses and the Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Body?"
Hearing this, Liu Bai's eyes lit up and he quickly cupped his fists.
"Please enlighten me, Senior."
Although he knew that in order for the Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Body to become complete, he had to find the hidden Spiritual Pulse within his body and use it to perfect the Spiritual Body, he was completely clueless about the actual process.
"I assume you already know how to perfect the Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Body." Lu Tong smiled faintly and said, "The Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Body is the symbol of a Heavenly Sovereign. The physical body can transform into the purest spiritual form at any time, possessing extraordinary combat power. At the same time, it becomes one with the heaven and earth, causing the spiritual energy within the body to become almost inexhaustible."
"However, this is only the most rudimentary Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Body. Only by refining the Spiritual Pulse hidden in the deepest part of the body and completely merging it with the Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Body can the Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Body gradually become complete."
"And once the Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Body is perfected, not only will it possess even more miraculous abilities, but it will also generally evolve a Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability."
The power of a Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability depended on the grade of the Spiritual Pulse. Some powerful Spiritual Pulse Divine Abilities were not inferior to top tier Peerless Divine Abilities!
"Is there any pattern behind the evolution of Spiritual Pulse Divine Abilities?" Liu Bai continued asking.
"The evolution of Spiritual Pulse Divine Abilities is mostly related to the cultivation art one practices." Lu Tong pondered for a moment before saying, "As for the grade of the Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability, that depends on the strength of the Spiritual Pulse within the body."
"Oh?" Liu Bai stared at Lu Tong with an expression full of inquiry.
"I assume you already know the classification of human Spiritual Pulse grades. Although Spiritual Pulses appear in different forms, they are all distinguished by quantity, ranked from one to nine. One and two are Human Grade Spiritual Pulses, three and four are Earth Grade Spiritual Pulses, five and six are Heaven Grade Spiritual Pulses. while seven to nine are Divine Pulses."
"It is said that some Spiritual Pulse Divine Abilities evolved from Divine Grade Spiritual Pulses possess power considered among the top ranks of Peerless Divine Abilities. Perhaps they may even rival the Thirty Six Peerless Divine Abilities."
As Lu Tong continued speaking, Liu Bai also learned information that had never appeared in the original novel.
For example, Divine Pulse evolved Divine Abilities were benchmarked against the Great Thousand World's Peerless Divine Abilities. Furthermore, many top tier Divine Abilities were originally independently evolved by great cultivators based on their own Spiritual Pulse Divine Abilities during the early stages of cultivation.
After learning some ancient secrets, Liu Bai gradually gained more enlightenment in his heart and developed a clear understanding of what he needed to do next.
All he needed now was one period of secluded cultivation to find his own Spiritual Pulse, condense his Divine Ability, and perfect his Spiritual Body.
After that, using a complete Heavenly Sovereign body to condense the Five Emperors Celestial Body would likely cause his cultivation to surge once more.
After finishing all matters on Sacred Abyss Continent, Liu Bai grandly led a group of people back to Skylaw Continent.
There were quite a lot of accompanying personnel this time. Aside from the master and servant pair Mu Chen and Long Xiang, there were also Chu Xiong and She Ming, Liu Bai's two "lackeys."
The two had also gained quite a lot this time, but because they wanted to break through their cultivation realms, they planned to seek refuge under Liu Bai's command so they could have a secure place to cultivate.
Naturally, Liu Bai welcomed this warmly.
After all, the two were about to break through to Great Perfection, and in terms of combat strength, ordinary Great Perfection experts were no match for them. This also happened to make up for the lack of high level combat power within the Five Elements Divine Palace.
Together with various miscellaneous people, some greatly admired Liu Bai, while even more had seen his potential, growth speed, and identity as a Demon Slayer King, and thus wanted to shelter beneath his wings.
Regardless, the group instantly expanded to more than ten people, and the weakest among them were all Greater Earth Sovereigns!
Such an astonishing scene caused many factions to take notice. Even Lu Tong, the branch master managing the Great Thousand Tower, joked that Liu Bai had emptied out his Sacred Abyss Branch.
There was no helping it. A large portion of these people were Demon Slayers who usually wandered around Sacred Abyss Continent.
Unlike Mu Chen's Mu Abode in the original story, when Liu Bai and the others returned this time, nothing major had happened in the Northern Region of Skylaw Continent.
That was because Liu Bai had already established the borders of the Northern Region before departing, and the three major forces such as the Violet Cloud Sect did not dare casually attack the Five Elements Divine Palace.
It was only because Skylaw Continent was far enough away from Western Heaven Continent and Sacred Abyss Continent that Liu Bai's deeds had not yet spread here. Otherwise, forget the three major forces, even the people backing them would probably already be considering relocation.
Liu Bai's return this time carried tremendous momentum. After all, there were many people and their strength was indeed formidable, making it impossible not to cause a stir.
Mandala had long since received the news and was already waiting. When she saw Liu Bai again, shock could not help but appear in her lively eyes.
"I never expected you to have already broken through to that realm."
Although she had mentally prepared herself, Mandala still felt somewhat dejected at this moment.
Back then, the young man before her had merely been a minor commander under her command.
"What, feeling a little disappointed?" Liu Bai chuckled.
Hearing this, Mandala immediately rolled her eyes at him before shifting her attention to the people behind Liu Bai.
"We greet the Vice Palace Master!"
Facing the petite loli like figure before them, even Chu Xiong and the others did not dare neglect courtesy and hurriedly cupped their fists in salute.
From the way the two had spoken earlier, it was obvious that this Vice Palace Master shared an extraordinary relationship with Liu Bai. Furthermore, they had all heard that she had always been the one managing the affairs of the Five Elements Divine Palace. The clever people present naturally understood the deeper implications.
Seeing so many powerful experts joining, Mandala felt very happy.
For a long time, the Five Elements Divine Palace had lacked sufficient high level combat power to guard all directions. Otherwise, the Northern Region would already have belonged solely to them.
Now that these combat forces had joined, things would become much easier for her.
As for how to arrange these newly joined experts and how the newcomers should coexist with the original forces within the Five Elements Divine Palace, that would all require her own coordination.
After all, Liu Bai was a hands off shopkeeper, so Mandala had to handle everything herself.
Seeing the increasingly dangerous look in the little loli's eyes, Liu Bai hurriedly revealed his trump card.
"Look, this is the gift I exchanged for you from the Great Thousand Tower."
The pitch black thorn whip was taken out, and Mandala, who had originally been dissatisfied with Liu Bai's hands off approach, was instantly attracted.
Especially the special aura emanating from the whip, which stirred her heart immensely.
"This whip was refined from the branches of an Ancient Mandala plant at the Heavenly Sovereign level. It should be somewhat helpful to you at your current stage."
Although this God Binding Whip was only a Quasi Peerless Saint Artifact, it shared the same origin as Mandala. The two would certainly produce mutually beneficial effects. Perhaps when the latter advanced to Heavenly Sovereign in the future, the whip could directly evolve into a Peerless Saint Artifact.
"For the sake of this gift, I'll spare you this time!" Mandala lovingly swung the whip in her hand before directly wrapping it around her waist. When she raised her head again, her small face was already filled with smiles.
"Leave the following matters to me."
Liu Bai let out a sigh of relief. Being a hands off shopkeeper was not easy either. However, he truly would not have time to manage these matters during the upcoming period.
"How about this. First integrate the palace's forces. Once I emerge from seclusion, it will be the time for our Five Elements Divine Palace to truly reign over Skylaw Continent!"
Looking at the confident Liu Bai, a trace of infatuation flashed through Mandala's eyes.
To her, this continent had originally been her home. It was only because the master of this home had departed that one petty figure after another occupied it and believed themselves to be the masters!
Northern Realm, Ancient Heavenly Palace.
A ray of light descended from the sky and landed upon the loftiest mountain beside the Heavenly River, revealing Liu Bai's figure.
He sat cross legged upon the mountain peak. Looking slightly downward, he could see the Heavenly River winding around the towering mountain like a jade belt.
At this moment, the surroundings of the Heavenly River were filled with cultivation stone platforms. Numerous figures were cultivating atop them, every single one radiating an exceptionally powerful aura.
Clearly, during the time Liu Bai had been away, the Five Elements Divine Palace had flourished greatly under Mandala's management. Numerous geniuses from the Northern Region had joined, storing up a vast number of future pillars for the Five Elements Divine Palace.
Liu Bai did not conceal his presence, so his arrival naturally fell into the eyes of many people.
Although most of those present had never met Liu Bai before, they had all seen portrait projections of him, so they immediately recognized his identity.
"Look, it's Palace Master!"
A sudden shout instantly stirred the surroundings.
One respectful gaze after another landed upon Liu Bai, yet no one dared to make too much noise.
Liu Bai also had no intention of interacting with them. He merely smiled at everyone before raising his hand and releasing a Five Colored River. Then his figure vanished directly into the river.
Immediately, a second "Heavenly River" appeared across the entire Ancient Heavenly Palace. It was just that one of them carried an iridescent black color.
"My Spiritual Pulse is now a Seven Divine Pulse. I wonder what kind of Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability I'll condense!"
With such anticipation in mind, Liu Bai slowly closed his eyes.
His consciousness gathered within his body. Instantly, he saw a crystal clear interior. His flesh, bones, and meridians all seemed to possess a strange vitality, faintly breathing and filling his body with vigorous life force.
Liu Bai's consciousness probed toward the deepest parts of his fleshly body, but at this level, he still could not sense the existence of the Spiritual Pulse.
His consciousness continued descending, as though traversing layers upon layers of spacetime, continuously sensing for the Spiritual Pulse. At first, there was no discovery, but Liu Bai was not disappointed in the slightest. His heart remained calm as water as he continued sensing.
This sensing process lasted for a full hour. Suddenly, Liu Bai's consciousness trembled, as though it had broken through a barrier at this moment. The scenery before him transformed, and his consciousness seemed to arrive within a mysterious space.
This space contained seven golden suns suspended in the sky. Every single sun released endless golden light, illuminating every inch of the space.
"Seven blazing suns, so this represents my Seven Divine Pulse?"
Liu Bai's consciousness gazed at the endless golden radiance before him, yet it was not dazzling.
"Since the Divine Pulse has appeared, then help my Spiritual Body reach completion."
Liu Bai muttered inwardly. Then his consciousness sank into silence. About half an hour later, scorching heat suddenly rose within the space. Immediately afterward, blazing flames surged in from the outside world and poured into the space, sweeping toward the seven golden suns.
These flames were not formed from spiritual energy, but originated from Liu Bai's inner heart. Ordinary spiritual flames could not refine Spiritual Pulses. Only Heart Flame could achieve such a thing.
Boom boom!
The Heart Flame continuously roared forth, eventually coiling around the seven blazing suns and igniting their golden radiance into golden flames, making them appear exceptionally magnificent.
Faced with the burning of the Heart Flame, the blazing suns in the sky gradually began to melt. Golden liquid dripped from them, but the instant it left the suns, it vanished into thin air.
However, Liu Bai could sense that the golden liquid had not disappeared at all. Instead, it had directly dripped into his flesh and blood.
As more and more golden liquid fused into his body, he could faintly sense that his fleshly body was becoming more complete. The feeling was as though a piece that had always been missing was gradually being restored to perfection.
"So this is completing the Spiritual Body…" Liu Bai could not help thinking inwardly while enjoying that fulfilling sensation.
What he did not notice was that in the outside world, his body had unknowingly transformed into a Spiritual Body. As the golden liquid continuously fused into him, mysterious golden patterns also began appearing across his Spiritual Body.
When the final drop of golden liquid fused into his body.
At that instant, a strange sensation surged within Liu Bai's heart. Then the entire space suddenly trembled violently. Immediately afterward, a golden point of light appeared at the center of the space.
The golden point rapidly expanded. Within several breaths, it transformed into a dazzling golden glazed lotus. The golden glazed lotus expanded with the wind, and layers upon layers of distinct golden light rippled around it, making it resemble the Buddha Lotus Throne from animated legends.
This golden glazed lotus possessed seven petals, and atop every petal rotated a golden blazing sun that radiated wondrous power.
"So this is the Spiritual Pulse Divine Ability evolved from my Divine Pulse?" Liu Bai's consciousness locked onto the glazed golden lotus as he muttered curiously.
He carefully sensed the lotus. After a long while, astonishment suddenly rose within his heart because he discovered that this golden lotus throne not only possessed astonishing defensive power, but the surrounding golden radiance could also transform into tens of thousands of golden light needles. If released simultaneously, they could even pierce through a Heavenly Sovereign Spiritual Body!
"It's got a bit of the feeling of Golden Light Needles."
Liu Bai secretly laughed inwardly.
Wasn't the Golden Light Needles in his Ten Absolute Arrays exactly like this? Anyone entering the Array would suffer countless golden lights transforming into golden needles piercing into their body. The sensation was ten thousand times more painful than being sliced by a thousand blades!
"Then I shall name this Divine Ability, Golden Sun Divine Lotus!"
