Chapter 40: The mysterious feeling on Kui Tian's body seemed real...

Ying Bu Ran suddenly opened his eyes, exhaled a breath of foul air, and came out of his state of meditation.

The Nascent Soul stage is perfect, and only one step away from reaching the Spiritual Transformation stage. Unfortunately, he just can't break through.

However, this was much better than she had expected. In just two months, it was a huge leap from the great perfection of foundation building to the great perfection of Nascent Soul.

"It is indeed very easy to cultivate the Heavenly Spirit Body. Now it should be at an upper-middle level in the world of immortal cultivation." Ying Buyan stood up, stretched his body, and murmured.

After passing through the gate of life and death, the effects of the original poison completely disappeared, and the true advantages of the heavenly spirit body began to emerge little by little.

As if sensing the disappearance of the spiritual and ghostly energy in the room, Zhao Chaoan knocked on the door and whispered, "Aran, have you finished your retreat?"

"Well, it's over, you can come in." Ying Bu Ran said.

The door opened immediately, and Zhao Chaoan, with a bright smile, ran in and hugged Ying Bu Ran, rubbing his face against hers, and even his voice was full of joy: "Okay!"

Ying Bu Ran was somewhat bewildered by her enthusiasm, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He patted her on the back and said, "Alright, just give me a hug. By the way, how long have I been in seclusion?"

Zhao Chaoan pouted in dissatisfaction, moving a little further away but still holding her: "One hug is not enough? Do you know how much I missed you when you were in seclusion for a long time? It was a full two months."

But Ying Bu Ran looked a little surprised after hearing this: "Only two months? Much shorter than I expected."

She thought she had been in seclusion for a long time, or perhaps it was because she "saw" so many things that she thought a long time had passed.

Zhao Chaoan's eyes widened when he heard this, a look of disbelief: "Two months is too short?! Wait until you reach the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul?"

She let go of him, stood a little further away, and looked Ying Bu Ran up and down.

Ying Bu Ran was much calmer in comparison. He nodded and said, "Well, I'm only one step away from reaching the state of transformation. Maybe I need some opportunity." He sounded a little regretful.

Zhao Chaoan was a little stunned, and after a while he was very surprised: "Even if he has a destiny body, this speed is a bit abnormal... Ah Ran, what are your plans next?"

She saw Ying Bu Ran start to move his body, then he used spiritual power in one hand and ghost energy in the other, as if he wanted to do something.

"Yes, during this period of seclusion, I also tried to further master the ghost energy. Now that I can fully master it, I want to try to combine the ghost energy with spiritual power, and also transform it into each other." Ying Bu Ran replied.

Zhao Chaoan nodded, sat on the ground with Ying Bu Ran and said, "Okay, you give it a try. I'll be watching from the side. It'll be fine."

Ying Bu Ran took a deep breath and began to manipulate the two forces to merge. At first, she manipulated a small portion of the two forces into silk threads that intertwined together.

She controlled it very carefully, and Zhao Chaoan, who was being controlled by her, couldn't help but hold his breath and stared at Ying Bu Ran without blinking.

After failing several times at the beginning, Zhao Chaoan became a little anxious and worried, and was restrained every time he wanted to take action.

She had to believe in Ying Bu Ran. She believed that she could succeed, and even if she failed, it would not hurt her much.

If she intervened, it would only make the situation worse.

Fortunately, after several experiments, Ying Bu Ran gradually found the trick. The silk threads were successfully intertwined together, slowly emitting a mysterious feeling.

With this success, the next steps would be much simpler. Ying Bu Ran let out a small breath, not feeling any impatience from his success. Instead, he became even more cautious until the two balls of gas in his hand completely merged into one, floating before him.

"...Success." Ying Bu Ran finally relaxed completely. From now on, as long as he practiced diligently, he should be able to achieve the legendary feeling of being able to do it effortlessly.

Zhao Chaoan curiously touched the fused energy mass, but she didn't feel any repulsion. Instead, she felt a very pure, unadulterated energy mass, completely different from what she had imagined. "It really worked! I never thought ghost energy could be fused with spiritual power. I always thought they repelled each other."

She thought she would be rejected, but she never imagined that she could absorb this power if she wanted to.

"I was also exploring these two forces during my retreat. I could sense that they actually had the same origin, but had developed into different powers. What I'm trying to do is return them to their original state." Ying Buyan explained, holding up the ball of energy. After reaching this point, he could try the next conjecture experiment. "Next, there's something else I want to try."

Zhao Chaoan was still curiously poking at the air mass. He was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "What?"

Ying Bu Ran retracted the Qi ball and closed his eyes to meditate again: "Try to see if I can completely transform into a ghost. The reason I succeeded the last time was because that person had just been attacked by a ghost, and I was afraid that he would be possessed by ghosts. Otherwise, he would easily be able to detect my aura."

This was actually a somewhat rash attempt. She figured that since she could merge, she could also use this principle to transform. As long as she could completely and temporarily transform her own spiritual power into ghost energy, it would also be a form of "transformation into a ghost."

Ying Buyan immediately started trying. With the previous foundation, this time it was much easier.

In order to make the effect more realistic, Ying Bu Ran also took off his mask, and the other half of his face was affected and covered with ghost fire, making him look like an ordinary ghost coming to the ground.

Zhao Chaoan was once again surprised and took a few steps back to look at him. Even she, the Ghost King, was almost fooled. "Wow, seriously, if I didn't know your identity, I would really think you ran away from the ghost world."

“I feel like I’ve gained so much from this retreat is beyond my imagination.” Zhao Chaoan nodded and concluded. He guessed that it might be some advice he got from the Gate of Life and Death after they fused with the soul of the first generation.

Ying Bu Ran waved his hand, rubbed his nose, and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, most of them are still things left by our predecessors. I just studied them again."

"After reaching this point, I can try to peek into the sky..." As she said this, she changed back to her original half-human, half-ghost appearance, put on the mask again, and muttered.

Zhao Chaoan rushed over and held her hand, then quickly stopped her: "Wait, wait, huh? Peeping into the sky?"

No, how did it jump to this point? Wasn't it just a discussion about power before? Why is it suddenly about peeping into the sky?

This time, Zhao Chaoan did not agree with Ying Buran's plan and simply shook his head in rejection: "No, it's too dangerous. Even Shen Cangwu doesn't dare to peer into the sky. It's easy for him to be targeted by that thing. That's secondary. The most important thing is, do you have a way to peer into the sky now?"

When Ying Bu Ran was in seclusion before, they had tried to peek into the sky, but it had been completely unsuccessful, and they were almost spied on in reverse.

After all, that is heaven, not a level that people in the lower realm can currently reach.

Unexpectedly, Ying Bu Ran nodded, and was really confident that it could be accomplished: "When the Celestial Spirit Body was born, it could communicate with the heaven and earth, and naturally it could also see the sky."

After she finished speaking, fearing Zhao Chaoan would continue to object, she added, "Don't worry, 'He's not yet at the point where he can completely control the world.' The Destiny Body and the incomplete World Consciousness should be on equal footing in today's lower realm. Although I don't have the strength to be on equal footing with them yet, I'm not completely passive."

Zhao Chaoan was still worried: "How about we wait a little longer?"

Ying Bu Ran firmly shook his head and refused: "Let's try it now. If I see him, I'll hide away. I just want to take a quick look at his condition so that I can plan my next move."

The two of them remained deadlocked for a while, and in the end, Zhao Chaoan was the first to give in. Although she didn't know what was so urgent, seeing Ying Bu Ran's determination, she nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll watch from the side. As agreed, I'll pull you out if there's any problem."

She doesn't care whether she almost sees something or not, as long as she finds something wrong, she will pull the person away immediately.

Ying Bu Ran nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll start."

Watching Ying Bu Ran enter a state of meditation again, Zhao Chao An sighed. Normally, after a retreat, one should relax, but why was Ying Bu Ran constantly trying one thing after another, without even taking a break?

Although he was complaining in his heart, Zhao Chaoan was still staring at it seriously. To be honest, although he agreed, he was still worried.

Ying Bu Ran began to slowly get into the state, and the mysterious feeling on his body was as if he was really communicating with the sky.

Suddenly, Ying Bu Ran's aura froze for a moment. In that instant, Zhao Chaoan immediately pulled Ying Bu Ran out of his previous state and severed the connection: "Exit!"

She supported Ying Bu Ran, who had been coughing, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Ying Bu Ran waved his hands repeatedly, rubbing his stinging temples, and coughed before speaking again, his tone tingling with excitement. "It's okay, there's something to gain, just as I expected. 'He's' self-aware, but he's on the verge of losing control."

This is an opportunity. This time, maybe we can really eliminate it completely!

Zhao Chaoan was stunned for a moment. While patting Ying Bu Ran's back to help her calm down, he asked, "Out of control?"

Ying Bu Ran nodded and explained, "His unrestrained demands have caused His body to become increasingly bloated. Originally a remnant, His divinity was limited, and under the impact of desire, that little divinity is now rapidly decreasing. This is also the reason why He is unleashing His divine wrath more and more frequently."

"This is an opportunity, and we must seize it, otherwise it's all over."

So that's why. No wonder in her timeline, after failing to stop it, the world began to collapse. It turned out to be out of control. Zhao Chaoan nodded and immediately took out the Tianling Mirror to open a private contact. "I see. Let me tell everyone over there. How are you feeling now?"

Ying Bu Ran took a deep breath to calm himself down: "It's just a little headache, it will be gone after a while."

"Hey, this is the last time." After Zhao Chaoan said yes to the other party, he raised a finger and said seriously.
