Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 512 - 485: The Good Man Lu Tong

Morning, a gentle breeze, a cloudless sky stretching for miles.

In the clean morning light, a flock of birds danced and swooped amid golden sunlight, chasing their joy.

Suddenly, one bird flying among them had its head explode without warning, alarming the rest to scatter in panic.

From the beheaded bird’s corpse, a faint, transparent remnant appeared, emitting a soft golden glow under the sunlight.

This remnant seemed to be saying something, flying aimlessly, but in the next second, an invisible force gathered from all sides and transformed into a hand that captured the remnant.

Following this, the owner of the hand emerged from the air—Wang Wu.

He was still collecting Lu Tong’s remnants of soul.

This task isn’t too hard, but it’s not exactly easy either. Especially since he is diligent, trustworthy, and pursues perfection, he wouldn’t just grab any soul fragment and be done with it.

Over the past three months, he’s already captured three hundred seventy-nine fragments of Lu Tong’s soul.

These soul fragments are extremely tiny, so small that even Taiyi True Immortal, Black Emperor of the Black Domain, and Elder Hui can’t sense them; they’re truly scattered souls.

But Wang Wu, relying on the Vermilion Bird Array Soul and his ultra-high authority here in the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, finds it quite easy to do, although it requires more time.

After storing this soul fragment, Wang Wu disappeared from the air once again and appeared within a Vermilion Bird Heaven and Earth Needle. Here, a transparent, shattered body sat cross-legged.

Wang Wu took out the remnant fragment and carefully pieced it together, nodding happily with a sense of accomplishment once he completed it.

Now, Lu Tong’s soul is about seventy percent reconstructed, and collecting another hundred or so pieces would make it whole.

A moment later, Wang Wu left this Vermilion Bird Heaven and Earth Needle and embarked again on the quest to collect Lu Tong’s soul fragments. He couldn’t afford to slack because as the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower kept operating, those soul fragments would be constantly crushed, shattered, becoming smaller until completely obliterated.

He’s a good person and must do his best to search for Lu Tong’s soul fragments.

So,

Day and night unstopped, through cold and heat, searched thoroughly in the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower for three entire years.

Until he confirmed that there were no more fragments of Lu Tong’s soul, even the smaller soul fragments had completely perished.

Only then did Wang Wu sigh, realizing he could only do so much.

He collected a total of five hundred thirty-six fragments, barely putting Lu Tong’s soul back together.

But this is merely the first step, as soul fragments and a complete divine soul aren’t the same.

Even if pieced together, it can’t awaken; like reassembling a shattered vase, it won’t be the same!

The second step requires nurturing the soul.

Ordinary nurturing methods aren’t effective; heavenly-priced Immortal Elixirs from the Secret Vault are needed.

But Wang Wu is not Lu Tong’s father, so he wouldn’t spend such an exorbitant price, nor could he send the bill to Feng Muhai and others, as they are likely under watch by someone with hidden agendas, so to prevent any mishap.

Thus, he could only spend more time, repairing gradually.

Anyway, Wang Wu actually had time to spare, for pursuing his path, he granted himself a six-thousand-year vacation.

Even the Frost Monarch suggested he spend ten thousand years to solidify and affirm it.

For specific repair methods, Wang Wu adopted two approaches: one using the exposure to Yin and Yang Qi to gradually improve the external environment, roughly repairing 0.01% every hundred years.

The other was attempting repairs through Spirit Essence Microscopic Perception.

Consider it practice to accumulate experience in repairing divine souls.

Yes, he’s still a novice in this aspect. Currently, he has profound knowledge in repairing Spirit Pills, so theoretically, a veterinarian is also a doctor.

Anyway, the trial-and-error cost remains plentiful.

Moreover, he had Four Clowns as advisers, who are greatly interested in reconstructing Lu Tong’s divine soul.

"A divine soul of a Taiyi Seventh-Stage True Immortal, each tiny piece is invaluable. Are you sure you won’t allocate any piece to us, even just one? We need to upgrade too, you know."

The Four Clowns have said this nonsense hundreds of times, practically drooling for it.

But Wang Wu had no such thought, Lu Tong’s other half of the divine soul and reserve body, he could destroy without hesitation, but actions potentially leaving hidden dangers—don’t even think about it.

Because once Lu Tong’s divine soul awakens, aside from forgetting the matter with Xiong Wangjie, likely everything else would return to normal.

In other words, he remains a very formidable Taiyi Seventh-Stage True Immortal, and Wang Wu doesn’t want complications.

"Actually, Lu Tong’s remnants are basically very powerful already. Perhaps what’s missing is just a dose of Soul Nourishing Immortal Medicine... Alright, your call."

The Four Clowns continued their grumbling, while Wang Wu chose to ignore, applying Spiritual Essence Recognition every ten days without rushing to repair but focusing first on observation, recording, analysis. Once sufficient data is obtained, then plan accordingly.

Resulting in discovering a particularly exciting aspect the first time Wang Wu used Spirit Essence Recognition on Lu Tong’s divine soul.

"Vast Energy? Lu Tong’s path actually manifests on his fragmented soul!"

"However, from my observation, this is not something engraved but resembles an impression of belief, very deep, very clear, signifying Lu Tong genuinely embraces Vast Righteous Qi as his path; his path does not deceive him, even apart from the issue with Xiong Wangjie, he truthfully hides nothing from the Frost Monarch."

Wang Wu secretly nodded; from this perspective, Lu Tong possesses redeemable qualities. No wonder he painstakingly rescues and remolds him instead of eliminating Xiong Wangjie as a memory; without this weak point, bounding himself to future efforts for the illumination of the Frost Domain, he’ll become a genuinely good person, Lu Tong.

"Then it’s settled, repairing his soul fragments is even simpler than I thought."

Wang Wu breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as the eyes must have focus, the Dao of an Immortal can also serve as the strongest support for faith.

Next, Wang Wu carefully adjusted the positioning of Lu Tong’s shattered soul fragments, not following the original sequence, but using the imprint of the Vast Righteous Qi as a trajectory, piecing together each fragment.

Moreover, no longer striving for local completeness, even if a large piece is missing, it doesn’t matter. The focus is to ensure the complete connection of the Vast Energy imprint.

Then, it was the moment to witness a miracle.

When Wang Wu connected fifty percent of the Vast Righteous Qi imprint, Lu Tong’s overall shattered soul actually gained some faint awareness.

This was amazing.

It’s like reading a vegetable his favorite book in the mortal world and finally, the vegetable having a reaction.

"Is the power of belief really this terrifying?" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"The power of belief has always been this terrifying, especially when it’s the belief that Lu Tong has taken as his path of cultivation, which is as firm as iron and as unshakeable as mountains and the sun and moon!"

"Of course, for us, it is also an enlightenment. We feel that we have also found our path to advancement, and we must imprint our own path of belief."

Wang Wu and the Four Clowns were both shocked; it was truly an eye-opening experience.

He even noticed that Lu Tong’s shattered soul had some faint self-repairing status.

What more needs to be said?

Wang Wu immediately continued to connect Lu Tong’s Vast Energy. As the imprints of connection increased, Lu Tong’s reactions grew stronger, and when the connection of belief imprints on all the shattered souls was completed, a layer of rich, pure golden light burst forth from these imprints, giving the appearance of the Buddha’s light shining everywhere.

Really, it was too dazzling. This was not merely the power of Divine Soul Divine Thought, but the Dao transformed from pure belief!

This was a kind of special energy that Wang Wu had never seen before, never encountered, and could not analyze or directly view.

How can one describe it, it’s like the brilliance of humanity, that most pure, most simple, and most touching kind of light.

Bathed in this brilliance, Wang Wu felt that even if he were just a mortal, he would dare to challenge the Chaotic Burial Mound and fight the mountain village’s old corpse!

What is a cultivator, what even is an Immortal Emperor.

For this belief, better to die than to live without it!

"Damn it!"

Wang Wu worked very hard to erase the influence of this brilliance from his mind and Divine Thought because he was horrified to discover that, in just this brief moment, an imprint of the Vast Righteous Qi had been left on his Divine Soul!

Too frightening, so this is the Dao!

Poor Daoist, it seems I have another realization.

With this thought flashing through his mind, Wang Wu stepped out of the Vermilion Bird Heaven and Earth Needle, then took this Miniature Heaven and Earth Needle and left the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower.

Because he had a strong premonition, the good man Lu Tong was about to make a triumphant return.

Are those shattered soul fragments incomplete?

No big deal!

The physical body being destroyed, that’s even less of a big deal!

In fact, since Wang Wu had collected so many shattered soul fragments, it resulted in Lu Tong recovering at an unprecedented speed.

The next second, Wang Wu appeared in Cyan Frost City, then teleported to the Hidden Origin Bell’s council hall.

Then he dropped the Vermilion Bird Heaven and Earth Needle and turned around to teleport away.

No way, this is the pollution of the Dao.

It truly could contaminate him, unless he also intended to follow the Path of Vast Righteous Qi and the hatred against evil, otherwise, he would have to stay far away.

What defines an Enchanting Demon, this is really what’s called an Enchanting Demon, no, an Enchanted Immortal.

And as soon as he came out, he was immediately stopped by Zhuang Bufei and Feng Muhai on the spot.

At the same time, Qu Shenglian had already rushed into the council hall, but the next second she retreated.

Her whole body was shrouded in a faint layer of golden light, but she couldn’t hide the joy on her face.

"Don’t go in, senior brother’s Path of Vast Righteous Qi seems to have become purer, more refined, and has already formed a Dao Domain, whoever dares to go in right now will be infected by his Dao. My lord, you have worked hard."

Leaving these words, Qu Shenglian hurriedly left, needing to quickly wash away the Dao contamination brought by Lu Tong.

"Dao Domain?"

Zhuang Bufei and Feng Muhai looked at each other, then showed an expression of undisguised jealousy, with a sour expression on their faces.

"Senior brother this time, really has turned misfortune into a blessing, a Dao Domain, doesn’t that mean he’s going to be on the same level as the master?"

Feng Muhai’s expression was very complicated.

While Zhuang Bufei directly knelt before Wang Wu with a thud, "My lord, anyway there’s plenty of time now, please be sure to use the same method on me. I’m willing to pay any price, just to make my Dao more determined, and it would be great if a Dao Domain could be formed."
