The Master of All-Heavens Systems

Chapter 72: The Making of the Green Lotus Patriarch

"Let's make the necessary preparations. Once the timing is right, the 'old man' can come online," Li Yu chuckled as he turned back indoors.The method of achieving enlightenment and the Dao, also known as the "Way of Sincerity and Rectitude," was too esoteric. Using one's heart to align with the heavenly heart, and ultimately merging the heavenly heart with one's own—these mystical concepts were beyond Li Yu's understanding.After all, achieving enlightenment is closely tied to personal cultivation, life experience, and worldly understanding. Li Yu lacked deep life insights and was still uncertain about his true aspirations. Talking about achieving enlightenment was premature."Let's leave it for now," Li Yu decided, setting aside the cultivation technique to ponder his future plans."For now, using the Cangwu Academy as a foundation to establish myself is not an issue. But my goal is more than just establishing myself. Since I've created the identity of the 'Green Lotus Patriarch,' why not use this identity to control the entire Cangwu Academy for my benefit?"A faint smile appeared on Li Yu's lips. Outwardly, he was just a disciple of the Cangwu Academy, but secretly, he could control the entire academy. The thought was amusing."But it's not feasible yet," Li Yu quickly realized that the idea was premature.The one who achieved enlightenment was the Green Lotus Imperial Weapon, not Li Yu himself. His own cultivation level hadn't reached the 'supreme' stage, making it incredibly difficult to pretend to be the 'Green Lotus Patriarch' in front of the sect masters and grandmasters.Even if he concocted various excuses and could wield the power of the Green Lotus Imperial Weapon, he wasn't confident enough to convince others. Failure to command respect would undoubtedly lead to numerous troubles. In such a scenario, Li Yu might have to resort to force, making it impossible to control the Cangwu Academy."The Green Lotus Patriarch... It seems I really could create such a figure," Li Yu thought, his fingers tapping lightly on the desk as a mysterious smile appeared on his face."If I can refine the Demon Emperor's Heart into a clone, combining it with the Green Lotus Imperial Weapon, it would form a complete 'Green Lotus Patriarch.'"Li Yu recalled that the previous world had techniques like "Qi Transformation into Three Purities" and even "Dao Body" techniques. It seemed feasible.Thinking of this, Li Yu quickly asked the system to display the clone techniques from the previous world."These... still don't work," Li Yu shook his head helplessly after seeing the displayed techniques.Whether it was "Qi Transformation into Three Purities" or "Dao Body" techniques, they all required a foundation of one's own strength.Although Li Yu could wield immense power, his cultivation level was far from sufficient to perform these techniques.However, there was a shortcut. Li Yu could use the power of the Demon Emperor's Heart to drive the "Dao Body" technique and create a 'Dao Body.'But Li Yu's spiritual power was too weak to split his soul into the 'Dao Body.' The resulting 'Dao Body' would only have a physical form without a soul."Weak spiritual power... Spiritual power?" Li Yu's eyes lit up as he remembered the pure soul power stored in his resource repository.After extracting the cultivation insights and combat experience from the Divinity of the Great Sacred Body, the remaining pure soul power had been left unused in the repository."The Great Sacred Body is equivalent to a Great Emperor. Although the Divinity was suppressed and its foundation cut off, the remaining soul power is still very strong. It's more than enough to create a 'Dao Body.'"Excitement surged in Li Yu's heart. With the 'Dao Body' of the 'Green Lotus Patriarch,' he could walk confidently in the main world."I only need to split a sliver of my soul, which won't harm me. Moreover, I can replenish the soul loss with the soul power extracted from the demons slain in the volcanic ruins. This shortcut might really allow me to create the 'Green Lotus Patriarch.'"Li Yu calmed his eager mind, deciding to have the system verify the feasibility."System, calculate the possibility of creating a 'Dao Body' based on my conditions.""Using the Demon Emperor's Heart, the pure soul power of the Great Sacred Body's Divinity, and a sliver of the user's soul as materials to create a Dao Body. Feasibility analysis starting...""Calculation complete.""Based on the current conditions, it is possible to create a Dao Body.""Excellent!" Li Yu was overjoyed at the system's conclusion."However, this place is obviously not suitable. I'll wait until I return to the mall space," Li Yu said, looking around the library and frowning slightly."My purpose for becoming a steward in the library was to scan the data. Now that it's done, this position is somewhat redundant. Fortunately, there's not much work involved, otherwise, I wouldn't want to stay here."Enduring until noon, Li Yu took advantage of the lunch break to leave the library.Finding a secluded spot, Li Yu stepped into the mall space.In the courtyard, Little Tingting was sitting quietly, playing absent-mindedly with a bunch of wildflowers.Seeing this, Li Yu realized that leaving Little Tingting alone in the celestial residence might not be appropriate.In such a vast place, having a little girl of five or six living alone seemed a bit unsuitable."Fortunately, the Green Lotus clone will be ready soon. After that, the clone can take care of Little Tingting in the academy. Who would dare object to the Green Lotus Patriarch taking a disciple?" Li Yu thought, glancing at Little Tingting without approaching her. He then turned and entered the celestial residence's garden.Reaching the Green Lotus Pond, Li Yu took out the Demon Emperor's Heart."System, proceed with creating the 'Dao Body' as per the calculated method."Following Li Yu's command, the Demon Emperor's Heart trembled and floated into the air.Brilliant radiance burst forth from the heart, with green energy swirling upwards."Ugh!" Li Yu groaned as a sharp pain surged through his mind, an invisible force severing a sliver of his soul.Quickly, Li Yu drew upon the pure soul power from the resource repository to replenish his soul, easing the pain.The severed sliver of his soul entered the Demon Emperor's Heart. Li Yu felt his consciousness split into two parts—one remained in his body, and the other in the Demon Emperor's Heart.The pure soul power of the Great Sacred Body's Divinity instantly merged with the Demon Emperor's Heart. The sliver of Li Yu's soul grew and strengthened within the vast soul power of the Divinity.In a blink, the pure soul power of the Divinity fully integrated with Li Yu's soul, forming a new entity."Boom! Boom! Boom!" The Demon Emperor's Heart began to pulse violently, the thundering heartbeats resonating like war drums.Radiant light shone brilliantly.Amidst the swirling light, a tall and majestic figure gradually materialized."Hahaha! I, the Green Lotus Patriarch, have finally been born!" The figure laughed loudly, exuding an air of extreme arrogance and pride.
