I'll Quit Being a God

Chapter 44: Yuan Shen Leaves the Body

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

He was awakened from the state of focused cultivation. The heavenly thunder in his body had not been fully digested. Now he needs to return to the mountain to continue his practice.

What's more, Lu Heng felt that his state at this time seemed to have changed after the two hundred years of Demon power belonging to the wolf demon disappeared.

Without the demon power condensed in his body, the flow of heavenly thunder in his body seemd to be smoother. Lu Heng was eager to find out the specific changes.

Therefore, after saying goodbye to the Li tribe's elders, Lu Heng didn't wander in the mountains but directly used his power to quickly return to the mountains and sneak into the temple under the mountain temple to practice.

This holy temple was the gathering center of the spirit qi of Hanyu mountain. Although it was only an underground hole, it was silent. Lu Heng would not be disturbed by anyone here.

As for Xiao Ai, she had the wolf demon's 200 years of cultivation power, so Lu Heng didn't need to worry about her safety.

After saying goodbye to her relatives and handling the affairs in the village, she would go into the mountain by herself.

With this in mind, Lu Heng entered a state of latent cultivating.

The blazing White Lightning filled his field of view in an instant.

In a trance, he seemed to enter a strange world full of lightning. Both the body and soul are floating in this lightning-flashing world.

All the thunder and lightning that passed through his body contained terrible power, but didn't cause any harm to him. On the contrary, Lu Heng was floating in such a thunder and lightning ocean, and he felt a warm force gradually immerse in his soul.

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

Unconsciously, Lu Heng's consciousness slowly sank into the ocean of thunder and lightning, falling into a confused and trance state.

In this strange state, he forgot everything, but instinctively went up and down in the lightning. He seemed to hear many voices and see many scenes.

Mountains, rivers and strange treasures were born. The despairing demons who were punished by heaven, the angry demons who refused to give in...

In the hazy haze, Lu Heng saw countless strange scenes.

He seemed to have transformed into pure heavenly thunder clouds, gathering and dispersing in the world, appearing in different areas, observing all kinds of strange individuals, in anger, despair, fear, howling, crying for mercy, etc.

In this picture, which flashed like a lantern, he finally saw a familiar scene.

Under the dark sky, a huge white wolf knelt in front of the mountain temple and howled bitterly. In the White Wolf's body, there is a newly cultivated evil spirit Qi. It is this evil spirit Qi that leads to the aggregation of the heavenly thunder clouds.

In the face of heaven's punishment, the White Wolf wailed and knelt down to pray. However, the heavily thunder clouds in the night sky surged without the slightest pity.

Finally, with a roaring sound, sky lightning cut through the night, and the white light drowned the white wolf in the mountain temple.

Buzzing——

Lu Heng, who saw this scene, suddenly woke up with a sudden shock.

The feeling of numbness and pain flows among the limbs. In a trance, he seemed to return to the time when he had just crossed into the white wolf.

However, after he became a little more conscious, he found that he was still lying in the underground temple, and the air was filled with a faint yellow spirit Qi of the earth.

And his body was not overwhelmed by the thunder. The feeling of numbness and pain was just an illusion.

Lu Heng frowned slightly and sat up.

Not only had he never seen this ocean of thunder and lightning before, but even this trance state of consciousness was new to him. Now, although he had woken up, Lu Heng didn't even know how long he had slept.

Only in the process of mental induction, did he vaguely find that his soul seemed to have undergone a qualitative change.

Originally, although the demon body was constantly transformed by heavenly thunder, his soul was always fragile. But now it was different. He felt that his soul had become countless times more powerful.

After a thought, Lu Heng found himself floating slowly. However, after lowering his head, he saw a huge white wolf standing at his feet, and he was now suspended on the White Wolf's body.

This is... Soul Projection?

Lu Heng thought about it and saw the white light surging in the holy temple. He doesn't need a mirror. He can feel the surging power of lightning in his soul.

Hast my soul been reshaped by the thunder? Or has it become pure thunder itself? Completely composed of the power of thunder?

Looking down at his hands, Lu Heng found that although his soul had undergone qualitative changes, it still maintained its former human form.

After getting used to the wolf demon's body, Lu Heng suddenly had hands and feet again. He was a little unaccustomed to it.

But this state of being out of the body made him feel a little fresh.

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

Almost in an instant, Lu Heng broke through the layers of soil and returned to the ground again. The sky is still shrouded in dark heavenly thunder clouds.

The huge whirling clouds, like an eyeball, silently stare at the land.

However, the scene under the heavenly thunder clouds was completely different from Lu Heng's memory.

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

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

Compared with the crude clay statues, the white wolf statues in the hall are several times larger in appearance and size. They are almost lifelike, just like the real Lu Heng standing there.

On both sides of the main hall, there is a slightly smaller house on the left and right. The architectural style and workmanship are similar to those of the main hall, and people can live there.

In the middle of these three magnificent halls, the original rugged earth ground was now paved with flat bluestone floors. The only area where the floor couln't be paved was the soil where the Thunder Sand was located. However, a bronze tripod had also been erected on it to cover up the lack of bluestone floor in this area.

Lu Heng turned around and looked out of the mountain. Seeing the bluestone floor extending outward along the forest, the road is surrounded by green trees, and the bluestone path in the shade is quiet and elegant.

Lu Heng continued to walk outward along the bluestone path and soon reached the edge of the flat land. Standing here, you can overlook the river bend below and the mountains in the distance.

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

In the lush mountain, there is an extra path extending to the foot of the mountain. Carefully polished stones pave the path forming a long stone staircase, which extends from Lu Heng's foot to the bend at the foot of the mountain.

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

If there were no boats near the ferry, Lu Heng would think he had come to a strange area.

This... This is the Hanyu mountain?

Lu Heng's mouth twitched and he thought of what the Li tribe's old priest said with a smile before his latent training.

"... besides being good at smelting gold and iron, the Li tribe is also good at civil engineering."

Is that what you call "Good at"?

Although Lu Heng didn't know how long he had slept this time, it shouldn't be long before he could see the scenery in the mountains.

In such a short time, you renovated the whole Hanyu mountain?

Originally, it was just a low mountain temple in the barren mountains and forests. It was dilapidated. Now, it has taken on a new look. Lu Heng almost thought he had come to some tourist attraction.

Such a huge change, such a large amount of work can be completed in a short time... Is this what the Li tribe people call, "Good at civil engineering"?

Lu Heng shook his head wordlessly. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
