Mutation?

While Li Yunmu was talking to the system, the new soul in Jue Qingzi’s body began to grow more formidable as it was nourished by the life water. The feeling of sharpness became more tyrannical, and a formless sword intent wandered around his body.

Li Yunmu looked at Jue Qingzi in astonishment without saying anything. His true soul has condensed, and it had been nourished by Heavenly Grand Ritual, so there shouldn’t be any major problems.

While advancing southwest, Li Yunmu had flipped through the lower grade cultivation methods given by Yan Wanqiu to gain more understanding about the cultivation methods of Goumang Real World, and once again came to realized that the people of the two worlds walked completely different paths.

The Origin World walked the path of external cultivation and focused on training the physical body.

In the early stages, they did not try to comprehend the laws of grand daos but practiced their martial arts. The godhood which they needed to become gods possessed the laws of grand daos, and they comprehended them continuously over their extremely long lifetimes.

This method allowed them to become gods very easily, but it also put a ceiling on the potential of the gods of the Origin World. They were unable to move on after reaching a certain realm.

Within the Goumang Real World, in the meantime, the cultivators comprehended the grand daos. From the beginning, they did not put much effort into cultivating their physical bodies. After experiencing the three calamities and nine tribulations, their potential would develop. With each tribulation, their realm would rise, and it was even possible for a mortal to become a quasi sage.

Back in the day, among the ten emperor monarchs who attacked the Origin World, not one of them was born an immortal. All of them were ordinary people who had stepped on the path of cultivation and become immortals who then later reached the emperor monarch realm.

The biggest flaw in the system of the Origin World was transforming the three thousand grand daos into godhood which ensured that there would only ever be three thousand gods. In comparison, the grand daos of Goumang Real World were scattered throughout the world, so anyone could comprehend a grand dao. Every time someone transcended a tribulation, they would also be able to comprehend a portion of laws.

The reason why Goumang Real World continued to produce powerhouses was because as people became immortals, others perished. When the cultivators and immortals died, their comprehended grand daos returned to the world so that others could comprehend them.

When a new soul was born in Ancient God Ru Shou’s body, there was no mutation. That could be related to his comprehension. He was an ancient god of the Origin World, so he could control the laws of grand dao because of the metal-attributed godhood. Because of that, after he became a corpse demon and was reborn, there was no mutation in his body.

As for Jue Qingzi, from the time he began cultivating, he had been comprehending sword intent. He walked the path of sword lineage and cultivated a sword heart.

After he burned his soul during the battle, his immortal soul and true soul shattered, and the sword heart disappeared. If he had possessed the memories of his past life when Li Yunmu resurrected him, there wouldn’t have been any mutation in his soul.

But the newly born soul possessed sword intent, which could be considered as a mutation, so it was clear that he didn’t possess any memories of his past life.

“Seems like this mutation has allowed Jue Qingzi’s body to change from postnatal sword body to innate sword body. He has really profited from this disaster…”

Li Yunmu looked at the formless sword energy surrounding Jue Qingzi’s body. It was dancing in the wind in the form of a sword, and whenever any tree leaf entered its range, it was cut into countless pieces.

Jue Qingzi had greatly profited from the disaster.

Based on the cultivation secrets provided by Yan Wanqiu, comprehending the sword path was more difficult than cultivating the five attributes. Those who possessed the sword lineage were few in number because they had to possess a postnatal sword body. It was a necessary prerequisite. On top of that, a cultivator had to be sensitive toward sword dao, for only then could they comprehend the sword dao and increase their strength at an astonishing pace.

Previously, Jue Qingzi possessed a postnatal sword body, so when he was found in the mortal world by Profound Sword Pavilion, the entire sect had been jubilant. After all, the great principal golden immortal from Profound Sword Sect had also possessed a postnatal sword body. As for an innate sword body, it was difficult to encounter it even in tens of thousands of years. It was the stuff of legends.

An innate sword body had appeared previously in another great power of Goumang Real World, which walked the path of sword dao, and who was finally bestowed the title of Sword Dao Emperor Monarch. During the attack on the Origin World, however, the True God had killed him, so his body turned into dust and his soul scattered.

Although Sword Dao Emperor Monarch had died, a legend circulated in the Goumang Real World that those with innate sword body had the potential to become sages. After all, Sword Dao Emperor Monarch had only been one step away from reaching the sage realm.

[We still have time to kill him,] the system said disdainfully. After seeing Jue Qingzi’s innate sword body after rebirth, it felt a hint of nervousness in its heart.

A person who had the qualifications to become a sage was a potential danger.

“No need to worry. He doesn’t have the memories of his previous life and is like a blank piece of paper. When he wakes up, he won’t know that he is someone from Goumang Real World. We will take him with us to the Origin World and let him become a seed of reform. Maybe we’ll have two quasi sages in the future,” Li Yunmu said, and his gaze became gentler when it focused on Jue Qingzi.

The young man possessed an innate sword body, so he would definitely advance by leaps and bounds on the path of sword dao. He was foreordained to become a quasi sage.

Ancient God Ru Shou, who was previously a corpse demon, also was likely to do the same. As long as he was carefully instructed after his rebirth, he would become a quasi sage.

Two quasi sages could increase the strength of the Origin World several times.

[Then bring him back with us. If he becomes a person of my Origin World, I won’t kill him,] the system said in a calm voice after some pondering.

Li Yunmu nodded, then turned toward the disciples of Yin Manor and said with an unpleasant expression, “What were you three chattering just now?”

“…” The disciples of Yin Manor.

Hidden in their black fog, the three of them were deathly pale and didn’t dare to say anything. Before they found out Li Yunmu’s cultivation, they were acting like overlords of the night pearl small world. After all, wherever they went, they would be given face. But after learning about Li Yunmu’s cultivation, they turned into docile lambs.

A quasi great principal golden immortal would only be second to Yin Emperor and the four kings of Yin Manor. Compared to the three of them who hadn’t even become immortals, he was like a pinnacle existence.

What was more, this quasi great principal golden immortal wasn’t someone for Goumang Real World, but an enemy from the Origin World. He didn’t have any apprehensions toward Yin Manor and could kill them with a single thought.

“I asked you something, why aren’t you opening your mouths?”

Li Yunmu’s entire body was covered in black threads, and his eyes were completely black, like those of a corpse demon. His divine presence was also enveloping the entire mountain.

The disciples of Yin Manor rooted to the spot were speechless. Why don’t you retrieve your presence, and then we’ll speak!

When Li Yunmu saw that the disciples of Yin Manor still weren’t speaking, he frowned slightly. His gaze turned toward the domain surrounding the three of them, in which countless ghosts were lying motionlessly as if they were frozen.

“I understand now. Your cultivation is very low and you can’t resist my presence,” Li Yunmu said, and the irregular black lines disappeared. His presence quickly decreased from great principal golden immortal to golden immortal and then completely disappeared, as if he was an ordinary person.

The disciples of Yin Manor felt their bodies loosen up, and they heaved a sigh of relief.

“Now you can speak! What were you saying earlier?” Li Yunmu asked with an indifferent smile.

The three looked at each other, and the disciple in the front slowly said, “Lord, are you Asura’s subordinate?”
