Chapter 494: Chapter 494: Innate Stone Embryo

Lv Chunyang’s profound gaze, sharp as a sword, pierced the True Body Dao Form. He flicked a finger toward its forehead, and an incredibly condensed beam of Profound Light shot from his fingertip.

This Profound Light was not an attack, but a force of creation that contained the power to sever cause and effect and reshape its Origin.

In essence, however, it was a strand of Life and Death Sword Intent.

This was the perfect embodiment of the saying, "A single sword gives birth to ten thousand laws."

Most other Golden Core True Monarchs of the Wansheng Sword Sect cultivated a single, ultimate Sword Intent. But Lv Chunyang was different. The Sword Intents he had displayed so far numbered twelve in total, all of which he had mastered to their absolute limit.

BZZZT!

The True Body Dao Form, which had been floating in the air and looked identical to Xu Yunfan, suddenly trembled violently.

Under the wash of the Profound Light, its facial features rapidly blurred and dissolved. In an instant, the fine texture of its skin transformed into rough stone.

The endlessly surging Profound Yellow Mother Qi and Misty Purple Qi within the Dao Body were forcibly sealed and compressed, as if subjected to the great creative force at the dawn of the universe. The entire body collapsed inward, condensing.

In a flash, a rough, ten-foot-tall boulder, circulating with the Chaos Profound Yellow Color and Misty Purple Qi, replaced the humanoid Dao Body.

Faint Innate Dao Patterns appeared on the boulder’s surface, while countless tiny stars flickered and drifted within. A vast Primordial Life Essence Qi was locked firmly in the core of the Stone Embryo, as if it had returned to the primordial state before the world’s creation.

The dark gold Wan symbol’s Buddha Pattern and the Black Water Black Tortoise Dao Rhyme transformed into two brilliant, perpetually entangled specks of light deep within the Stone Embryo, becoming the Profound Yellow boulder’s only source of light.

Xu Yunfan watched from the side, dumbfounded, as Lv Chunyang casually manipulated life, death, and creation.

He couldn’t help but be inwardly amazed, especially watching Lv Chunyang press the fully formed True Body Dao Form back into a boulder.

’This is simply unbelievable.’

It was no different from a mortal who had already grown into an adult being forcefully shoved back into their mother’s womb by Lv Chunyang.

Lv Chunyang studied the great boulder for a while before finally speaking.

"The karmic ties of Buddha’s Destiny are now completely bound to this body and have nothing more to do with your true self. This is a good thing."

"However, the incarnation technique derived from the Profound Capital Eight Sceneries Celestial Refining Creation Cloud Scripture has an inherent flaw..."

He paused, glanced at the eager Xu Yunfan, and continued, "This body has been so deeply steeped in the Buddhist Sect’s karma, and it has now taken root in the Eastern Wilderness. If this continues, it will inevitably develop its own consciousness."

"As the years pass, there’s no guarantee it won’t be plagued by the question, ’Who am I? What is me?’ If it then receives the Buddhist Sect’s aid and enlightenment, it might turn on its original self and replace you... This is no exaggeration."

He stared into Xu Yunfan’s eyes, his words as sharp as nails. "I advise you to consider this body dead."

He called it advice, but his tone left no room for argument.

Xu Yunfan’s heart went cold. He immediately bowed his head deeply, hiding the fleeting glint of confidence in his eyes—a confidence born from the trump card of his Attribute Panel. "This disciple understands. I will not dare to give this body another thought. From this day forward, I will act as if this incarnation was never created!"

The moment he lowered his head, a system notification quietly appeared on the invisible Attribute Panel floating before his eyes.

Your Cloud Scripture Incarnation, cultivated from the Profound Capital Eight Sceneries Celestial Refining Creation Cloud Scripture, has been successfully created.

His gaze shifted to the Skill Bar on the Attribute Panel.

Under the Profound Capital Eight Sceneries Celestial Refining Creation Cloud Scripture’s Cloud Scripture Incarnation trait, the words "Strong Control x2" appeared.

With a slight shift of his will, he felt complete control over the True Body Dao Form that had been transformed into the Stone Embryo. It was like a puppet on strings; he could take it over whenever he wished.

Even now, separated by an endless void, everything the True Body Dao Form saw, heard, thought, and felt was clearly reflected in his Sea of Consciousness.

The flow of every wisp of mother qi inside the Profound Yellow Stone Embryo, the flickering frequency of the Buddha Pattern’s light, and even the vibrations of the Martial Dao True Intent hidden deep within the stone core were all under his absolute control.

The golden words "Strong Control x2" on the Attribute Panel shone brilliantly, clearly indicating that the panel’s strong control attribute completely bypassed the inherent permission barriers of the Cloud Scripture Incarnation Technique.

’Now I can relax.’

Even if Lv Chunyang had used the methods of a Golden Core True Monarch to recast the Stone Embryo and completely sever the Cause and Effect Threads.

Even if the Bodhi Pure Land were to steep it in the incense of its Buddha Country day and night in the future.

Even if the True Body Dao Form truly developed an independent consciousness and became as rebellious as the clone Han Shi, its deep binding to his Origin and the Attribute Panel was now an established law.

To him, the Stone Embryo was now nothing more than a living vessel containing the Buddhist Sect’s karma. Even if a Vajra Buddha were to personally descend and grant it enlightenment, they couldn’t erase the compulsory command the panel had branded onto the True Body Dao Form’s very foundation.

’It might be very useful later on.’

Then, with a gentle sweep of his sleeve, Lv Chunyang enveloped the now fully-formed True Body Dao Form—its eyes holding a dim, spiritual light—along with the residual Profound Yellow Mother Qi surrounding it.

A flash of sword light tore through the spatial barrier of the Grotto Void Heaven Realm. Like a star falling to the mortal world, it became a piercing streak of light, shooting straight toward the Demon Qi-shrouded Eastern Wilderness Land before vanishing in the endless void.

-----------------

「Puchen Pure Land, Sumeru Peak, Bodhi Spirit Platform.」

Sanzang, who had just returned and was meditating on his lotus seat, suddenly opened his eyes. The golden Buddha Light within them pulsed violently.

He raised his head and looked toward the eastern void, a rare look of shock and doubt on his face. "Buddha’s Destiny... its connection has been completely moved to the Eastern Wilderness! How could that wisp of the Dao Seed’s aura, which is so closely tied to the King Buddha, suddenly take root in the barbaric Demon Land?"

"Indeed."

A phantasmal Twelfth-Grade Lotus Platform bloomed in the void beside him as Miaodi Bodhisattva manifested her Dharma Aspect.

As her jade-like fingers formed a mudra, countless Sanskrit characters flowed and vanished at her fingertips, causing the incense of the surrounding Buddha Country to surge like a tide.

Reflected in her eyes was a scene from across the endless void.

On a nameless peak in the Eastern Wilderness, a ten-foot-tall Profound Yellow boulder was greedily devouring the purple qi of early morning. Deep within its core, the dark gold Wan symbol’s Buddha Pattern and the Black Water Black Tortoise Dao Rhyme intertwined, glowing brilliantly.

"What a masterful move!"

A ripple passed through Miaodi Bodhisattva’s usually tranquil eyes, as if she recalled the world-shattering Sword Intent Lv Chunyang had unleashed during the great slaughter of the Three Sects’ war.

"Lv Chunyang used his No Return Sword Intent as a blade to forcibly strip the Buddhist karma from that junior surnamed Xu. He then refined the fundamental Dao Rhyme of the True Martial Demon Suppressing Scripture into sustenance and sealed it all within this Profound Yellow Fetal Stone, which was born from a singularity of void and creation."

"To turn Sword Intent into an embryo and change the owner of karma... Such a heaven-defying method has already touched upon the ultimate realm of the Sword Dao, the very Origin of creation!"

Sanzang shot to his feet, his moon-white monastic robes fluttering without a wind. "Stripping away karma is already unbelievable, but to refine an entire Martial Dao scripture into nourishment for a Dao Embryo? Could it be that Lv Chunyang..."

He took a deep breath, his voice trembling with disbelief. "Has already touched the threshold of the Late-Stage Golden Core realm?!"

"Late-Stage Golden Core?"

Miaodi Bodhisattva shook her head slightly, the light of wisdom flowing from her lotus platform revealing a profundity that could see through celestial secrets. "With the Wansheng Sword Sect’s foundation, all the ’Sword Dao Fruit Positions’ that lead directly to the Late-Stage Golden Core are locked down by the Lifebound Sword Domains of several other True Monarchs of Sword Dao. The number of Fruit Positions in the Taihua Spirit Ruins Realm is limited. Even if Lv Chunyang’s talent is astonishing and his Sword Intent pierces the heavens..."

"...he ultimately cannot break through that iron-tight barrier of Fruit Positions."
