CHAPTER 120: CHAPTER 120: INNER REALM (SEEKING SUBSCRIPTION~)

Success!!!

The brain was turned to mush under the impact of this punch. Even if someone defies human limitations, transcending the shackles of body and spirit to enter a new realm, possessing immense life force, there is absolutely no chance of survival when the brain is shattered.

Suddenly, Subodhi’s stiff arms moved abruptly, tightly clamping Lu Ren unexpectedly, as a red gleam burst from his eyes, vibrating the air.

Lu Ren was caught off-guard and pulled closer by Subodhi, forced into eye contact!

"Ding, you have suffered an abnormal mental attack, your spirit passively increases skill level +5"

"Ding, you have suffered an abnormal mental attack, your spirit passively increases skill level +5"

"Ding, you have suffered an abnormal mental attack, your spirit passively increases skill level +5"

"Ding, you have suffered a mental attack, abnormal spiritual energy is entering your mind!!!"

A series of notification tones in the mind, accompanied by an urgent, sharp system warning, shook Lu Ren’s soul, while a piercing pain stabbed his brow, leaving him paralyzed in the face of the mental attack!

"Reincarnation Transition!!"

Subodhi growled lowly, his eyes shooting out a red-black laser-like light, engaging firmly with Lu Ren’s eyes. The red-black light along with his spirit violently surged into Lu Ren’s mind.

The spiritual realm is a profound existence, which modern science still struggles to deeply explore, lacking even a coherent theoretical framework.

Psychology, more often than not, summarizes general conclusions based on behavioral habit analysis.

On some level, the dual teachings of the Buddhist and Taoist paths have more authority over this matter.

They have lived for so long, Lu Ren speculated that after their spirits strengthened, they used their spirits to control magnetic fields, preventing their consciousness from dissipating.

A golden skeleton like Ksitigarbha is thus locked within magnetic field manipulation.

And Subodhi’s actions gave Lu Ren a general idea. Although shocked, he was not afraid!

"No!!"

Seeing all this, Ksitigarbha’s color completely changed. He never expected after all these years, Subodhi still possessed such astounding means, aiming to seize the opportunity for reincarnation!

By the time he reacted, Subodhi’s giant body had already collapsed with a crash, releasing Lu Ren who fell to the ground.

The scene fell quiet for a moment.

Ksitigarbha’s voice was somewhat unstable, "Lu Ren, are you okay?"

Suddenly, Lu Ren flipped over, half kneeling on the ground, eyes tightly closed, not immediately responding to Ksitigarbha’s words.

His veins bulged all over his body, emitting a high temperature turning his entire body brightly red. Although his expression was calm, the pulsating veins on his forehead and his heavy breathing indicated that Lu Ren wasn’t as calm as he appeared.

This extraordinary mental attack truly shocked him, leaving him at a loss, unsure of what tactics the opponent might employ after infiltrating his mind.

However, to Lu Ren’s surprise, apart from the system continually alerting him about mental attacks with his skill level passively increasing, everything abnormal seemed to have vanished.

What was this situation, could it be the system’s inherent protection mechanism?! "Ding, your spirit is being eroded, system judgment failed, your spiritual proficiency +2"

"Ding, your spirit is being eroded, system judgment failed, your spiritual proficiency +5"

"Ding, your spirit is being..."

The rapid increase in spiritual proficiency in a screen-spamming fashion left him somewhat addicted.

To receive a buff just before dying, it was overly generous.

Subodhi was a great man indeed!

Doing justice to the grand description in Mythical Teleportation, even at the end arranging such a setup for him.

Before he could ponder it thoroughly, Lu Ren’s consciousness suddenly descended, delving deep within, abruptly entering the depths of his own spirit. After a whirlwind moment, the world flipped and twisted, and Lu Ren suddenly found himself with a sensation.

He was within his spirit, a place he had never ventured.

Surrounded by a vast expanse of white fog, to the point where not even his hand was visible, Lu Ren’s mind was shaken. Before he could react, the thick fog suddenly dispersed.

In front of Lu Ren was a picturesque landscape with verdant hills and clear waters, waterfalls cascading from afar, flowing straight down.

Tigers roared and apes wailed amid lush greenery.

Yet, directly in front of Lu Ren stood an old monk around 1.7 meters tall, clad in gray robes, with a withered appearance but emanating a calm aura.

"Subodhi?"

Lu Ren raised an eyebrow, then without hesitation stepped forward with a swift attack, throwing his fist with a sharp cry like a bird.

Unexpectedly, his fist passed through with no resistance.

He hit nothing but air!

The opponent was a shadow?!

Lu Ren took a deep breath, then stepped forward.

Phoenix Falcon Fist, Phoenix Beak!!

Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!

His fists blurred, tearing through the air with sharp whistles, yet Lu Ren did not unleash a rapid flurry immediately, instead controlling the pace, striking eighty times per second continuously for ten seconds.

Finally, Lu Ren halted his attack, looking calmly at the smiling Subodhi, seeing that the opponent’s state truly left him unable to land a blow.

The opponent’s research and utilization of spirit far exceeded his, even possessing various secret techniques in the spirit realm.

"Why not lend me your body? Once I pursue the ultimate path and attain Tathagatahood, I shall share it with you!"

Subodhi spoke calmly, without haste.

Lu Ren’s mouth twitched. This kind of childish deception, not to mention ancient people, even today’s six-year-olds would easily dismiss such nonsense.

"Looks like you can’t breach my mental defenses, so you resort to such words."

Lu Ren answered leisurely. During this period, the system notifications about skill level never ceased. Although he wasn’t sure what tactics the opponent was using, with the passive increase in skill level, his spirit became more resilient than the previous second. That is to say, while Subodhi thought he controlled everything, or plotted after witnessing Tie Feng’s death and Lu Ren awakening Ksitigarbha.

In the end, he encountered an unreasonable existence like Lu Ren, or rather, he had never encountered one so steadfast, the more broken, the more resilient like under medication...

This left Subodhi feeling like he had eaten something unpleasant. Even with a firm heart, he began to twist gradually, realizing it was a mistake. If Lu Ren remained resolute, the final outcome was his conscious disintegration, rendering all his efforts over countless years futile.

Seeing that Lu Ren couldn’t attack him and started contemplating his spirit, Subodhi said: "You’ve never been to your realm of spirit, have you? This place is called the Yellow Court Inner Scenic Area."
