Chapter 768 - 328: Power Transforms Again

Chu Lingguang could feel the black vine trying to control Yun Hong's body, fighting back against him.

At that moment, his seventh-level Telekinesis gave him a massive advantage.

With the help of his Divine Thought, he kept Yun Hong's body firmly suppressed, even though it could still tremble. When Chu Lingguang tried to inject his Power of Divine Thought into Yun Hong's body, he was met with resistance from the black vine.

Unfortunately, while the black vine had its own consciousness, its power was nowhere near as strong as his Divine Thought. The only problem now facing Chu Lingguang was that he couldn't simply strip the black vine out of Yun Hong's body.

If he tried to forcibly remove it, the black vine would shred Yun Hong's internal organs, and possibly his entire body, as it was being pulled out.

And so, Chu Lingguang and the black vine were locked in a stalemate.

After thinking it over, he came up with an idea.

Since Yun Hong couldn't refine the black vine, he would just have to refine it himself.

If he could completely refine the black vine, it would be forced to detach from Yun Hong's body and could no longer harm him. However, Yun Hong's strength would plummet, reducing him to an ordinary Human Dao Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

The blow to Yun Hong would be immeasurable.

Chu Lingguang hesitated.

Even though he would be doing it for Yun Hong's own good.

But as the saying goes, the greatest malice in the world often comes disguised as "I'm doing this for your own good."

'Forget it. I'll find a way to help Yun Hong improve his strength later. This black vine can corrupt his mind and consume his life. If I let it stay in his body, he'll die sooner or later,' Chu Lingguang muttered to himself.

"I will refine this black vine," Chu Lingguang said to the unconscious Yun Hong.

As if sensing his intention, Yun Hong mumbled, "You can help me refine it... but you can't refine it for yourself."

"Yun Hong!" Chu Lingguang exclaimed in surprise.

'Help him refine it, but don't refine it for myself... Sigh, in the end, Yun Hong just can't let go of the power the black vine gives him. He must have come to the depths of Taihu to find a way to refine it himself,' Chu Lingguang mused.

"Since you insist on refining the vine, I'll give it a try. If I don't succeed, please don't blame me, Yun Hong," Chu Lingguang said to Yun Hong.

He had considered using his own Divine Thought and Spiritual Power to help Yun Hong completely absorb the black vine, but this approach was fraught with difficulties.

It would require him to use his own Spiritual Power and Divine Thought to control the Spiritual Power within Yun Hong's body, forcing the two energies to resonate with each other.

Forcing the energies of two cultivators of different levels to resonate within one of their bodies was an incredible challenge. Only by achieving this could Chu Lingguang gain command over the Spiritual Power inside Yun Hong.

It could be said that achieving this kind of resonance was even more difficult than creating a resonance between the Five Elements Power.

The power within each cultivator's body is a world unto itself, with its own unique operational patterns, and it naturally repels any outside energy.

Even if two practitioners shared the same Cultivation Technique and Divine Abilities, differences in their Spirit Root Attributes would create problems. And even with identical Spirit Root Attributes, there would still be other complications.

Therefore, making the powers of two Practitioners resonate was even more difficult than creating a resonance of the Five Elements Power.

But if he succeeded, he could truly help Yun Hong. It would prevent Yun Hong's Spiritual Power from dissipating and his strength from weakening, while also eliminating the underlying threat of the black vine's corruption.

At this thought, Chu Lingguang immediately took action.

He injected his Spiritual Power and Divine Thought into Yun Hong's body and began trying to create a resonance with Yun Hong's own Spiritual Power. This would take a long time and countless attempts. Each failure would produce a backlash of force that would harm both him and Yun Hong.

With his Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment cultivation, Chu Lingguang could withstand the force again and again. But Yun Hong was weaker and still unconscious. A single injury might not be much, but the cumulative damage over time would lead to severe internal injuries.

Because of this, Chu Lingguang proceeded with extreme caution, afraid that the repeated failures would kill Yun Hong before he could succeed. Such an outcome would be a devastating loss.

Time passed, bit by bit.

「Three days passed in the blink of an eye.」

He had attempted to create a resonance between his and Yun Hong's Spiritual Power hundreds of times. After each failure, to alleviate Yun Hong's injuries and his own discomfort, Chu Lingguang would pause to rest, giving their bodies and bloodlines time to recover.

He even fed Yun Hong Spirit Grass and Spirit Liquid.

Hundreds of failures in just three days.

An ordinary person would have long since broken down or given up, but thankfully, Chu Lingguang's Heart Guarding Skill was formidable. He didn't crumble under the weight of his failures, but instead learned from each one.

Now, he was on his one hundred and thirteenth attempt.

VMMMM!

Finally, his Spiritual Power and Yun Hong's resonated within Yun Hong's body. In that instant, Chu Lingguang felt his Divine Thought and Spiritual Power pour into Yun Hong's Foundation Establishment Compass. He could even see the black vine clinging to its surface.

Before, when their energies weren't resonating, an invisible resistance had blocked Chu Lingguang's Spiritual Power and Divine Thought from fully entering Yun Hong's body. Now that the resonance was complete, he could use his own Spiritual Power to guide the energy inside Yun Hong and refine the black vine.

This, too, would take a great deal of time.

The black vine, having already developed its own consciousness, fought back constantly. But with the combined power of Chu Lingguang and Yun Hong's resonance, he could easily suppress it. The vine's body began to dissolve, bit by bit, as if fading away in the river of time.
