Chapter 44: Soul Leaving the Body

After leaving Shuisheng Village, Lu Heng said goodbye to the old priest of the Li tribe outside the village.

He was awakened from his deep cultivation state, and the power of heavenly thunder in his body had not been completely digested. Now he needed to return to the mountain to continue his cultivation.

Moreover, after the two hundred years of demonic power belonging to the wolf demon in his body disappeared, Lu Heng felt that his current state seemed to have changed in some way.

Without the obstruction of the demonic power shrunken in the sea of ​​qi, the flow of heavenly thunder power in his body seemed to be smoother, and Lu Heng was eager to find out the specific changes.

Therefore, after saying goodbye to the old and young of the Li tribe, Lu Heng did not wander around in the mountains. He directly used the power of shrinking the earth into an inch to quickly return to the mountains and sneak into the underground temple of the mountain god to practice.

This temple is the gathering center of the spiritual energy of the Hanyu Mountain vein. Although it is just an underground cave, it is quiet. Lu Heng will not be disturbed when practicing here.

As for Xiao Ai, now that she has the Taoism of the wolf demon for two hundred years, Lu Heng does not need to worry about her safety.

After she said goodbye to her family and dealt with the affairs in the village, she would go into the mountains by herself.

Thinking of this, Lu Heng entered a state of meditation.

In his vision, the blazing white light of lightning was instantly filled.

In a trance, he seemed to have entered a strange world full of lightning. Both his body and his soul were floating in this world of lightning.

Every lightning that passed through his body contained terrifying power, but it did not cause any damage to him. Instead, floating in such a sea of ​​lightning, Lu Heng felt a warm power gradually seeping into his soul.

This was a feeling he had never experienced before. Not only was his demon body tempered, but even his soul was floating in this world of lightning, with an addictive and ethereal feeling.

Unconsciously, Lu Heng's consciousness slowly sank into this sea of ​​lightning, falling into a blurred and trance state.

In this strange state, he forgot everything and just instinctively floated in the lightning. In a trance, he seemed to hear many voices and see many scenes.

Mountains and rivers, strange treasures, desperate demons punished by heaven, angry demons who roared and refused to surrender...

In the hazy state, Lu Heng saw countless strange and bizarre scenes.

He seemed to have turned into a simple calamity cloud, gathering and separating in the world, appearing in different areas, facing various strange individuals who were angry, desperate, fearful, wailing, crying and begging for mercy... etc.

In this fast-moving picture, he finally saw a familiar scene.

Under the dark sky, a huge white wolf knelt in front of the mountain temple, howling miserably. There was a trace of evil spirit in the white wolf's body, and it was this trace of evil spirit that attracted the gathering of the calamity cloud.

Facing the punishment from heaven, the white wolf howled miserably and knelt down to pray. However, the calamity cloud in the night sky surged without the slightest mercy.

Finally, with a loud rumble, a thunderbolt cut through the darkness, and the blazing white light submerged the white wolf in the mountain temple.

Buzz——

Seeing this scene, Lu Heng's consciousness suddenly shook, and he woke up instantly.

The feeling of numbness and pain flowed through his limbs. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the time when he just crossed into the body of the white wolf.

But after his consciousness became slightly clearer, he found that he was still lying in the underground temple, and the air was filled with the dim earth spirit.

And his body was not hit by the thunderbolt, and the numbness and pain were just an illusion.

Lu Heng frowned slightly and sat up. This time, the state of deep cultivation was unprecedented.

Not only had he never seen the sea of ​​thunder and lightning before, but he had never seen this kind of trance-like state of consciousness. Although he woke up now, Lu Heng didn't even know how long he had slept.

It was just that in the induction of his thoughts, he vaguely found that his soul seemed to have undergone a qualitative change.

Originally, although his demon body was constantly being transformed by the power of heavenly thunder, his soul was always fragile. But now it was different. He felt that his soul was countless times stronger.

With a thought, Lu Heng found himself slowly floating up. However, after lowering his head, he saw a huge white wolf standing under his feet, and he was now floating on the body of this white wolf.

Is this... the soul leaving the body?

Lu Heng's mind moved, and he saw the blazing white light surging in the palace. He didn't need a mirror to feel the surging power of thunder and lightning in his soul.

His soul seemed to be reshaped by heavenly thunder? Or, has it become pure heavenly thunder? Completely composed of the power of thunder and lightning?

Looking down at his hands, Lu Heng found that although his soul had undergone a qualitative change, it still maintained the form of a human being.

After getting used to the body of the wolf demon, Lu Heng was still a little uncomfortable with suddenly having hands and feet.

However, this state of soul leaving the body made him feel a little fresh.

With a thought, Lu Heng's soul left the temple and flew towards the ground above.

Almost instantly, Lu Heng broke through the soil and returned to the ground again. The sky was still shrouded in dark clouds.

The slowly rotating huge vortex cloud was like an eyeball, silently watching the land.

However, the scene below the cloud was completely different from what Lu Heng remembered.

The original low and dilapidated mountain temple has now disappeared. In the original temple location, there is a hall built of logs and tiles, which covers an area and is several times larger than the original low mountain temple.

On the altar in the hall, there stands a statue of a huge white wolf.

Compared with the simple clay statue in the past, the white wolf statue standing in the hall is several times larger in appearance and size. It can be said to be lifelike, as if the real Lu Heng is standing there.

On both sides of the hall, there is a slightly smaller house on the left and right, with a similar architectural style and workmanship to the hall, which can be lived in.

In the middle of these three magnificent halls, the originally rugged mud ground is now paved with a flat bluestone floor. The only area that cannot be paved with a floor is the mud where the Tianlei Sand is located, but a bronze tripod is also erected on it to cover up the incongruity of this area not being paved with bluestone floor.

Lu Heng turned around and looked outside the mountain. He saw that the bluestone floor extended out along the forest, and the road was surrounded by green trees on both sides. The bluestone path in the shade of the trees was quiet and elegant.

Lu Heng continued to walk out along the bluestone path and soon came to the edge of the flat land. Standing here, he could overlook the river bay below and the mountains in the distance.

Originally, there was no road here, the mountain road was rugged and surrounded by trees. But now it has also changed.

A small path extending to the foot of the mountain appeared out of thin air in the lush forested mountain. Carefully polished stones were laid on this mountain road, forming a long stone staircase, which just extended from Lu Heng's feet to the river bay at the foot of the mountain.

And in that spacious and open river bay, a simple ferry was built.

If there were no boats staying near the ferry, Lu Heng would have thought he had come to an unfamiliar area.

This... is this Hanyu Mountain?

Lu Heng's mouth twitched, thinking of the words that the old Li priest said with a smile before he went into seclusion.

"...In addition to being good at smelting gold and iron, our Li people are also good at civil engineering."

Is this what you mean by "good at"?

Although Lu Heng is not sure how long he has been asleep this time, judging from the scene in the mountain, it should not be long.

As a result, you have renovated the entire Hanyu Mountain in such a short time?

It was originally a low mountain temple in a barren forest, shabby, but now it is brand new. Lu Heng almost thought he came to a tourist attraction.

Such a huge change, such a large amount of work completed in a short time... Is this what the Li people are good at civil engineering?

Lu Heng shook his head speechlessly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
