I Might Be A Fake Cultivator - Chapter 1746

Chapter 1746: Spirit Patriarch

An Lin was slapped into two An Lins. One of them was extremely realistic. This, of course, was his original body. The other An Lin was a blue, semi-transparent divine sense body. Right now, it was hovering about in the void.

The two An Lins were both immensely shocked.

This was a very peculiar kind of feeling.

It was as though he possessed two bodies at the same time.

He was clearly a single person, but right now, he possessed two sets of independent visions and senses.

An Lin’s physical body was still in its original place. His five senses were unchanged, and his strength was also unaffected.

However, his divine sense had already flown out of his body. This wasn’t as simple as his divine sense proliferating outward. Rather, his divine sense had truly left his body. At the same time, this divine sense also possessed its own unique vision.

The physical An Lin was almost exactly the same as the ordinary An Lin. It was just that he couldn’t use any divine sense reliant spell techniques anymore. In other words, it was equivalent to his divine sense falling into a deep slumber. Anyhow, his combat capability was barely affected.

Meanwhile, the divine sense An Lin was in a very peculiar state. His feel for spiritual energy and soul power was extremely sensitive, and his sense for the auras of other living beings was also extremely sensitive. In addition, he felt free and unrestrained as he drifted through the air. It was as though he had broken free of all shackles and was now transcendent above all matter.

The world that he saw also became different—it became more vivid and colorful.

The divine sense An Lin easily penetrated through the cave wall. He flew into the sky and gazed down at the mystic realm. Initially, this mystic realm had seemed particularly strange and extremely inharmonious. Now, however, it appeared as beautiful as an immortal paradise.

In the void, there were countless strands of silk-like spiritual energies intertwining and fluttering with the wind. They were vibrant and full of brilliance, and they were like celestial maidens who were dancing through the sky. The divine senses of all kinds of living beings sparkled like the most beautiful stars, and An Lin felt as if he were swimming through a dazzling and mysterious sea of celestial bodies. The surroundings were harmonious and beautiful.

However, there was something even more amazing than this. That was, the divine sense An Lin felt full of power right now!

An Lin realized that under his current state, he could use the power of his divine sense to easily obliterate the divine sense of any Void Spirit Tribe beings below him. It felt like he was the ruler of all divine senses; it felt like he was the ruler of this entire world!

The power possessed by the divine sense An Lin was extremely formidable. Moreover, the divine sense An Lin was almost just as powerful as the physical An Lin, albeit in a different sense. After all, the types of powers that these two bodies possessed were starkly different…

What did this mean?

This meant that An Lin could wield twice the amount of power compared to before! In fact, if the physical An Lin and divine sense An Lin teamed up, they could unleash an even more devastating power!

An Lin was extremely thrilled. The reward that he had received this time was far greater than what he had imagined! This was a genuine transformation on the fundamental level of life! Spirit and flesh were separated, his senses were multiplied into two, and both his bodies could cooperate in perfect harmony. This was truly a majestic transformation!

After drifting around the sky for a while, the divine sense An Lin returned back to the cave. Then, the divine sense An Lin carefully fused back into one body with the physical An Lin.

After experiencing a momentary hum in his mind, An Lin became the original An Lin once more.

“Phew…” An Lin panted heavily, and there was a look of excitement and exhaustion in his eyes. It was clear that he had just experienced an extremely unique cultivation adventure.

The Spirit Patriarch chuckled upon seeing this. “Don’t worry, this always happens after the first time. Although it feels amazing, separating into two bodies is also extremely taxing. In the future, remember to adjust your posture and breathing pattern when you release your divine sense body. After a few times, you’ll grow accustomed to it.”

The Spirit Patriarch’s tips were simple and easy to understand. An Lin saluted respectfully upon hearing them. “Spirit Patriarch, thank you for blessing me with your inheritance. For as long as I live, I’ll never forget the great kindness that you’ve shown me!”

“Alright, alright,” the Spirit Patriarch replied as he waved his hands. “No need to be so formal with me. All I ask for is for you to take care of the Spirit Maiden and my Brother Blood in the future.”

“Have An Lin take care of me?” The Spirit Maiden huffed. “Does it look like I need him to look after me?”

“Stop kidding around. The inheritances have all been successfully passed down now. You’re free from now on.” The Spirit Patriarch chuckled. “An Lin, the Spirit Maiden will still need some help from you after returning to the Tai Chu Continent. Spirit Maiden, you can recognize An Lin as your master, or you can also find another being to become your master. In any case, do look after yourself.”

“Master…” The Spirit Maiden’s eyes reddened when she realized that the Spirit Patriarch was going to disappear forever.

However, it seemed as though the Spirit Patriarch wasn’t very accustomed to this kind of parting. Bursts of white glow flashed across his fingers as he turned his gaze toward the skeleton. “Brother Blood,” he said with a smile. “You never expected this, did you? In the end, you still need to rely on my knowledge for your rebirth…”

Xue Mengmeng clacked its teeth and humphed. “Look how smug you are. It’s still not certain whether your knowledge is useful or not.”

The Spirit Patriarch smiled and remained silent. Then, he flapped his phoenix wings lightly and started to drift toward Xue Mengmeng.

A brilliant white glow erupted from the Spirit Patriarch’s fingertip as he tapped it toward Xue Mengmeng’s forehead. “Here you go. Here’s my knowledge; here’s my everything.”

Boom!

A colossal amount of information was enveloped within a soul power casing and forcibly funneled into Xue Mengmeng’s body.

The brilliant white glow in that instant was peerless and unparalleled by anything in the world.

An Lin and the Spirit Maiden were both dazed by this brilliance. They were also conquered by the supreme soul power that erupted in that instant.

This passing of inheritance began suddenly, and it also ended suddenly.

After a short while, the brilliant white glow had completely died down and vanished. Meanwhile, the Spirit Patriarch’s body was also becoming increasingly transparent and illusory.

Xue Mengmeng’s expression was still a bit dazed. It was as if it still hadn’t recovered from receiving the colossal amounts of knowledge. In fact, it was familiar with most of the knowledge that it had received. After all, a large portion of this knowledge had been discovered by it and the Spirit Patriarch together.

For some reason, it suddenly recalled the days when the two of them worked in the laboratory together. They would argue over experiments for days on end, and they would also revel in the joy of discovering something for long periods of time. They had once drunk and chatted about the future, and they had also once become depressed for a long, long time after an experiment they were conducting ended up in failure.

It had always been especially tranquil when they were together. There were no magnificent experiences, yet everything was pure and enjoyable. Like a stream of water, those days flowed on for a long, long time. Eventually, those days flowed into an eternal river, one that had become an integral part of their lives. Every time the Blood Patriarch thought back these days, he would involuntarily smile understandingly.

“How is it? Has my knowledge given you any inspiration?” the Spirit Patriarch chuckled.

Xue Mengmeng smiled and nodded. “A lot of inspirations. This is the first time that you’ve appeared so reliable.”

The Spirit Patriarch’s body became more and more transparent. In fact, his body had become almost invisible to the naked eye. His soul power was also like a dying flame that was about to go out at any second and completely vanish from the world.

Xue Mengmeng wanted to open its mouth to express its gratitude, yet it eventually swallowed the words that had already formed at the tip of its tongue. With a relationship such as theirs, there was already no need to speak words of thanks.

“My dear friend, this is the last thing that I can do for you. I wish you success in reconstructing your body and divine sense, and I wish you success in attaining a new life…” The Spirit Patriarch’s voice was soft and barely discernible.

Xue Mengmeng nodded. “Goodbye, my dear friend.”

“Goodbye.”

The two of them exchanged a smile.

It was as though they had returned to a long-gone past.

…

The dragon-headed youth opened his sleepy eyes and suddenly discovered that the white-clothed youth had painted his face full of blood. Moreover, there was an evil smile on the white-clothed youth’s face.

The dragon-headed youth was extremely furious, and he picked up a bottle of solution and started smashing it toward the white-clothed youth as he chased after him.

The two of them ran all the way from the laboratory to the Spirit Realm Mountain, and they joked and argued as they quarreled and played. They appeared extremely vigorous and youthful, and it was as if the future before them held endless possibilities.

Looking back after a lifetime, he who woke up was still a youth.

…

The Spirit Patriarch vanished from the world.

Or rather, he had died once and for all.

Xue Mengmeng walked toward the lifeless skeleton that was still sitting before the work desk. It was just about to retrieve the Spirit Patriarch’s remains when its hand suddenly froze in mid-air. It suddenly abandoned the thought in its mind.

“So be it,” Xue Mengmeng said with a smile. “Staying here like this is also quite good.”
