CapĂtulo 2503: Chapter 237: Return
Wang Ba had never felt his physical bodyâs existence so clearly before.
It was as if through the vast Realm Sea of Origin, he could sense that somewhere within the sea, his physical body was unharmed, waiting for his return.
However, this feeling vanished with the rippling of the water.
No matter how carefully he tried to perceive it again, he couldnât sense his physical bodyâs presence.
âPhysical body, True SpiritâŠâ
He recalled his recent feeling, then slowly lowered his head, looking at his reflection on the waterâs surface, and suddenly comprehended.
âIt is the True Spirit!â
âA sufficiently strong True Spirit can sense the existence of oneâs physical body, even when separated by a great distance⊠just as the masterâs wife mentioned earlier, a Mahayana Cultivatorâs True Spirit can freely travel to and from the Realm Sea of Origin.â
âThe reason lies in the strength of the True Spirit⊠Mahayana Cultivators actually exist at the âHuman Immortal Realmâ, and their True Spirit differs naturally from those below Mahayana.â
âAnd my True Spirit, within this Realm Sea of Origin, has undergone countless consumptions and repairs, becoming significantly strengthened invisibly.â
This kind of strengthening is akin to allowing his True Spirit to gradually approach the True Spirit of a Mahayana Cultivator to some extent.
âBut a Mahayana Cultivatorâs True Spirit doesnât seem to be like mineâŠâ
He felt slightly puzzled.
He had seen the True Spirit Fish of Mahayana Cultivators, and compared to his previous self, the difference was only in the external coloration, whereas now, his form was akin to the existence of a âdragonâ.
The dragon, within the Realm Sea, might just be a type of divine beast, yet in certain places, it holds special significance.
Though he was unclear about what the True Spirit transforming into a dragon represented, he could feel his physical bodyâs presence, which to him was a blessing rather than a curse.
âIt seems that if I can completely transform the True Spirit body into dragon form, I may be able to freely enter and exit this Realm Sea of Origin.â
Thinking of this possibility, Wang Ba couldnât help but feel exhilarated.
He was also unsure of the reasons prompting the change in his True Spirit, so he simply continued maintaining his previous methods:
Trying to memorize the rules of the Realm Sea of Origin revealed above the Sky Dome as much as possible; each time his True Spiritâs state recovered, he went to the Waterside Pavilion to continue reading âRealm Sea Miscellanyâ and the booklets inside the book box.
Utilizing the elixirs given by Li Yuehua, continuously consuming and recovering.
And in this process, his True Spirit indeed grew increasingly robust.
His body became more elongated, fish fins increasingly resembling dragon claws, and even two claws faintly emerged from the latter part.
The position on the fishâs forehead also gradually bulged, and the two whiskers under the jaw became more slender.
The coloration grew more resplendent, indescribable.
The entire form of the True Spirit Fish increasingly resembled a dragon.
Accompanying the changes in his True Spirit body, his perception of his physical body and Primordial Spirit also became increasingly apparent.
The premonition of soon leaving this Realm Sea of Origin grew similarly strong.
Under such a premonition, he dared not waste any time, constantly commuting between the Waterside Pavilion and the Realm Sea of Origin.
And as his True Spirit improved, the contents of âRealm Sea Miscellanyâ he could see gradually expanded.
He also learned that besides the Twelve Palaces, the Immortal Gate had other forces, understanding that countless wars had occurred between the Immortal Gate and numerous forces in the past millions of years, even once leading to the Second Realm Sea showing signs of destructionâŠ
He also learned that, apparently, the Third Realm Sea had no designated Lord of Realm Sea very early, making it an ownerless place.
Despite the Third Realm Sea being ranked lower than the Second Realm Sea, it played a significant role in supporting the Second Realm Sea, its significance extraordinary.
Besides âRealm Sea Miscellanyâ, Wang Ba gradually saw the covers of other booklets that were initially entirely closed to him.
Except for the cover, however, the contents remained unseeable to him.
Especially the booklet inside the book box.
Despite Wang Baâs significant True Spirit improvement these days, every time he took out that book, he still couldnât even bear to look at it.
He wasnât disappointed, sensing that his True Spiritâs progress was inseparable from this book.
It was the tempering from this book that caused such a major improvement in his True Spirit.
âWhat exactly is this book? My True Spirit might already be close to the True Spirit of a Mahayana Cultivator, yet I still canât even look at itâŠâ
Wang Ba felt somewhat unwilling in his heart, perceiving this bookâs special and preciousness within the Waterside Pavilion.
He even faintly felt that combining the other booklets wouldnât compare to this one.
But in the end, he sighed and gave up this thought.
After consuming the elixirs given by Li Yuehua once more, Wang Ba silently flew out of the Waterside Pavilion.
Seeing no maids around, he stood on the Waterside Pavilionâs path, looking down at himself in the water.
His mind moved, and the original figure of the Taoist in green robe transformed into a fish.
Only now, the True Spirit Fish had undergone extremely remarkable changes compared to before.
At this moment, except for not having horns on his head, he was already indistinguishable from a âdragonâ.
Long whiskers fluttered, dragon body winding, four claws airborne, suspended above the water.
Just one step away from becoming an actual dragon.
Looking at himself in the water, Wang Ba didnât jump down into the water immediately.
