Master of Strange Dao

Except for the village chief, those young people were a bit afraid of Yu Ziqing.

"Relax, don't be nervous."

Yu Ziqing looked at Zhong Shouzheng, signaling him to go ahead and observe.

Zhong Shouzheng suddenly lifted his eyelids, divine light shining in his eyes, and the pressure from the Primordial Spirit Realm instantly caused Zhao's expression to become vacant.

After a moment, Zhong Shouzheng frowned slightly and nodded at Yu Ziqing.

Yu Ziqing proceeded to squeeze Zhao's bones, verifying his bone structure. For Body Refinement, his talent wasn't bad.

"Alright, you can go now. You have a good talent, keep working hard."

After sending Zhao away, and returning to the small house.

"How was it? Did you see anything?"

"I did. Previously, I was conservative. Within his Divine Soul, there's a hidden Primordial Spirit."

"Hmm? Possession?"

"Not quite, it should be the Rebirth Technique. Clearly, that Primordial Spirit suffered severe damage, unable to switch bodies naturally.

He could only risk using the Rebirth Technique, entering the mother's womb.

Unfortunately, the nurturing of living beings is a grand creation of the world, not easily borrowed.

His Primordial Spirit is wrapped within the newborn Divine Soul, treated as nourishment to strengthen the Divine Soul.

As time passes, that Primordial Spirit will gradually dissipate, eventually being entirely absorbed by the main Divine Soul.

This is irrelevant to strength, it's part of the grand creation process, marking the unfinished nurturing of living beings.

He failed before and now it's impossible for him to awaken or possess.

That kid, so frail and withered, it's because his Divine Soul has grown too strong, nearly crushing his physical body.

He even showed traces of Refining God before. Who knows which fool, seeing his naturally strong Divine Soul, taught him to refine it.

He originally wouldn't have lived past sixteen, and with more Refining God, he'd die even quicker.

This is the calamity of that Primordial Spirit's reincarnation, and it should fall on him."

"After Body Refinement, things got better?"

"Yes, after he started Body Refinement and persevered, he could even survive.

If he wants to live, he must first cultivate his body, at least reaching the Sixth Tier before refining God.

Refining God now would be a sure death."

"No chance of being possessed?"

"Impossible now. That kid got lucky, inheriting a Primordial Spirit Realm strong being's legacy. Even if he can't fully embrace it, after digesting it, there's still a cost. He has a good chance of advancing to the Primordial Spirit Realm in the future."

"Has any Primordial Spirit Realm fallen recently?"

"Never heard of it. But a Primordial Spirit Realm strong, even if they fall, won't make it known. They'd quietly seek self-rescue opportunities.

This one likely is too, if not forced, he wouldn't risk borrowing a womb for rebirth.

All these years, I've never heard of a successful example of this method.

Those who do this surely don't have time to choose slowly, they settle for whoever they encounter.

Most children born this way are weak and die before reaching sixteen.

A few manage to be born safely, probably because the mother was in Body Cultivation, physically strong enough to endure."

"That child is only around ten, do you think, ten years ago, that Primordial Spirit Realm being, just like you, was eager for the first bite of meat, so..." Yu Ziqing speculated.

Zhong Shouzheng thought it over and nodded.

"There's really that possibility..."

Thinking of this, the two headed out again, going to the butcher's house to find Zhao.

As they entered, Zhong Shouzheng chuckled.

"Hey, this kid has quite the energy, tired from a day's work and still has the energy to secretly refine God, really rushing towards death."

Upon hearing this, the butcher who came to greet them turned pale.

"Senior, what exactly happened?"

"Call your son out. You've finally got a family, you can't just let your son perish in a couple of years."

Facing a group of elders and his parents, Zhao nervously shrank his neck.

"Enough pretending, did you think having a strong Divine Soul is a good thing? You're near death.

No matter what you inherited, put it aside, little kid hiding things. Orıginal content can be found at Novᴇl_Fire(.)net

I've crushed many Primordial Spirits, who'd care about your little stuff?"

Yu Ziqing, seeing Zhao's demeanor, knew that his shy, weak look was just an act to hide his true capabilities.

Yu Ziqing explained the situation directly, while Zhao's mother, anxious to tears, hit him on the head upon hearing he secretly refined God.

"Let's wait to hit him, first, tell us what you inherited?"

Zhao held his head, a bit dumbfounded, having grown accustomed to this for ten years, never encountering big shots, and...

"Since childhood, I felt things appear out of nowhere in my mind. My mom said I talked nonsense, so I didn't dare mention it again.

Later, those things seemed to repeat, saying not to reveal them, or it'd be dangerous..."

Zhao felt at a loss, mumbling softly.

"Does it feel better after Body Refinement?"

"It indeed feels less uncomfortable..."

"You hear voices speaking to you?"

"Yes."

"What do they say?"

"They say to become stronger, you must refine God, Refining God is the righteous path, and not to tell anyone."

"Happens recently?"

"Not since arriving here."

Yu Ziqing looked at Zhong Shouzheng.

Zhong Shouzheng got anxious.

"Impossible, being grinded by grand creation, it couldn't even have consciousness."

Yu Ziqing thought, then extended a finger to Zhao's forehead.

"Try calling it."

Zhao, having been hit, and feeling better recently due to Body Refinement, also knowing Yu Ziqing crushed many Primordial Spirits, realized his small stuff wouldn't be valued. He obediently did as told.

As Zhao called from the depths of his mind, Yu Ziqing's Yang God suddenly opened its eyes.

"Come, let me see."
