Chapter 87 Refining the External Avatar!
They sped along at breakneck speed.
Lin Chuan almost never stopped, and whenever he consumed too much of his internal energy, he would swallow pills to replenish it.
He not only flew at full speed, but also changed direction many times, and even lay in ambush in some remote mountains and wilderness areas for a short time before continuing his journey after confirming that no one was following him.
Several days later, he returned safely to Vietnam.
However, he did not return directly to the Taiyue Mountains. Instead, he deliberately took several large detours, approaching from different directions, and finally, like a swift returning to its nest, he silently landed in the formation outside his cave.
"Buzz..."
All the protective formations in the cave were activated at full power, and the flowing light completely isolated the inside from the outside.
Only then did Lin Chuan's heart finally settle down.
He sat cross-legged beside the Spirit Eye Spring, meditated for a moment, and recovered some of his magical power and spirit.
Then, he solemnly took out the spirit beast bag.
With a thought, a dark red light flashed, and the enormous Bloodline Dragon reappeared in the cave.
Fortunately, the cave has been expanded and has enough space, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to accommodate this big guy.
As soon as the Bloodline Dragon emerged, it obediently lay prostrate on the ground. Although it was covered in wounds and its aura was weak, its eyes were filled with absolute obedience as it looked at Lin Chuan.
Its wounds have not improved in the past few days.
Lin Chuan examined it carefully.
The injuries were indeed extremely severe, but the vitality of a level-five demon beast is extremely tenacious. Although these injuries were serious, they were not enough to immediately endanger its life.
With its own strong recovery ability, given time and proper care, it is possible to recover.
However, Lin Chuan's eyes flickered, but he did not immediately take out healing pills or cast healing spells.
"We can't let it recover too quickly..."
He calmly calculated in his mind.
"The success of the Spirit Seal is based on the fact that the strength of my divine sense far exceeds that of its severely injured and weakened soul at this moment."
Once its injuries have mostly healed and its demonic power returns, its spiritual instincts will also strengthen. At that time, with my current mid-Foundation Establishment stage spiritual sense, even with the support of the "Great Evolution Technique," whether I can continue to perfectly suppress the spiritual soul of this level-five demon beast and ensure that the Spirit Control Seal is not shaken or even backfires... is hard to say.
In the world of cultivation, it is not uncommon for spirit pets to turn on their masters, especially when the difference in strength between the two sides is reversed.
"This is just right for now. It is severely injured and weak, which can be used by me. When I release it at a critical moment, its pressure as a level 5 demon beast and the strength of its incomplete physical body will be a powerful boost, and it is also within my control. When my cultivation breaks through to the late Foundation Establishment stage, or even the Pseudo-Core stage, and my divine sense surges again, I will consider healing it and restoring some of its combat power, which will be more prudent."
With that in mind, Lin Chuan simply sent a "rest and recuperate" command through the connection of consciousness, and then ignored the Bloodline Flood Dragon's injuries, letting it slowly heal itself by instinct.
He put the Bloodline Flood Dragon back into his spirit beast bag, placed it in a corner of the cave, and set up a simple confinement and warning array.
After dealing with the Bloodline Flood Dragon, Lin Chuan's mind turned to another important matter—refining his external avatar!
He once again took out the black jade slip containing the secret technique of "Avatar," as well as the black-robed Qu Hun body that stood quietly in the corner.
For the next two weeks, Lin Chuan stayed home almost constantly, immersing himself in the research and preparation of the secret technique.
He meticulously considered each step, pondering the key to the division of divine consciousness, the condensation of imprints, and the fusion with the carrier, and simulating the possible risks and coping strategies.
At the same time, he also adjusted his own state to its best, with abundant magical power and perfect divine consciousness.
Half a month later, in the dead of night, moonlight streamed through the cracks in the cave's roof, filling the cave with a serene and spiritual atmosphere.
Lin Chuan sat cross-legged in front of Qu Hun's body, his eyes slightly closed, his expression solemn.
"It's time."
He took a deep breath, and began to form complex and mysterious hand seals, chanting incantations—the activation spell for the incarnation technique.
As the incantation was performed, Lin Chuan's divine consciousness began to surge.
He carefully separated a wisp from his own refined divine consciousness.
This process is extremely painful, like having a piece of your soul cut off.
Even with Lin Chuan's resolute will, he couldn't help but groan, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The wisp of divine consciousness that was separated accounted for about one-twentieth of his total divine consciousness. Although it was not much, it was extremely pure and contained part of his consciousness and memory imprints.
Under Lin Chuan's control, this wisp of divine consciousness began to condense and change according to the secret method, gradually forming a pale golden phantom that was seven or eight parts similar to his own appearance and was slightly illusory—this was the prototype of the "Avatar Primordial Spirit".
At the same time, Lin Chuan flicked his finger and sent out streams of magical power into various acupoints of Qu Hun's body, activating the faint remaining vitality and spiritual energy channels within the puppet's body, preparing it to bear the primordial spirit.
As the pale golden phantom solidified completely, emanating a stable spiritual fluctuation, Lin Chuan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he shouted, "Go!"
The illusory figure transformed into a streak of light and instantly disappeared into the space between Qu Hun's eyebrows!
The illusory figure transformed into a streak of light and instantly disappeared into the space between Qu Hun's eyebrows!
"Buzz..."
Qu Hun's originally empty and dull eyes suddenly lit up with two faint golden lights, similar to Lin Chuan's eyes! His body also trembled slightly, and it seemed that there were subtle streams of light flowing along a specific path under his skin.
Lin Chuan immediately closed his eyes, immersing his entire mind in the connection with that wisp of his consciousness.
He could clearly feel that his divided spirit was struggling to merge with Qu Hun's body, adapt to this new "shell," and establish new sensory and control connections.
This is a slow and meticulous process that allows no room for error.
Lin Chuan, like the most patient craftsman, guided and adjusted little by little, helping them overcome the discomfort and resistance in the early stages of integration.
Time passed day by day.
The cave was silent, except for the gentle flow of the Spirit Eye Spring.
Lin Chuan's true form and Qu Hun's avatar sat facing each other, their auras appearing faint and mysterious.
Finally, after another month and a half.
The incarnation of Qu Hun, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly twitched its fingers slightly.
Then, he slowly and somewhat stiffly opened his eyes.
It tried to raise its arm; the movement was a little hesitant at first, but it quickly became smooth and natural.
It stood up, took a few steps, swung its fist, and moved in a coordinated and completely controlled manner.
It turned around and looked at Lin Chuan, who was still sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, and a familiar smile appeared on the corner of its mouth.
At this moment, Lin Chuan himself opened his eyes and looked at his avatar.
When their eyes meet, a wonderful feeling arises, as if they are looking in a mirror, and their hearts are connected and their thoughts are shared.
"It's a success!"
Lin Chuan's true form and his avatar both revealed joyful smiles, their voices overlapping and echoing softly in the cave.
The external avatar has been successfully refined!
From then on, this puppet body named "Qu Hun" became Lin Chuan's second body, controlled by a wisp of his consciousness.
Capable of acting, thinking, and cultivating independently!
