Chapter 495: Chapter 489: Successively Awakening Past Life Memories

"Stop!"

After a satisfying, down-and-dirty spar where every punch landed solidly, Du Youqian, panting slightly, called a halt.

He had held back his own advantages, wanting only to confirm the limits of Little Wukong’s physical body.

Just as he thought. Little Wukong’s current physical strength was roughly equivalent to a Body Refining Cultivator at Nascent Soul Perfection.

And its flexibility and self-healing abilities were just as good, if not better.

Keep in mind, Little Wukong had only just entered Tier Four.

Once it reached the Tier Four Late Stage, or even Perfection, its physical strength would surely surpass that of an ordinary Divinity Transformation Early Stage Body Refining Cultivator.

But then again, Du Youqian couldn’t say for sure just how strong a Divinity Transformation Body Refining Cultivator was. He could only guess.

Even Nascent Soul Body Refining Cultivators were incredibly rare, let alone those at Divinity Transformation.

There were probably Divinity Transformation True Monarchs in this world who had advanced through Body Refining, but their numbers could be counted on two hands.

The main reason was that while Body Refining Cultivators possessed considerable combat strength, they were extremely specialized. Their Divine Sense was weaker, they could control fewer Treasures than Cultivators of the Same Tier, and they were more susceptible to Spirit-type Divine Abilities and special Treasures. This made them easy targets, and their path forward on the Dao was fraught with difficulty.

Over time, Body Refining Cultivators became a minority.

Ninety-nine percent of the world’s Cultivators might not mind using treasures and Spirit Medicine for Body Tempering to increase their physical strength, but they would never choose to advance using a Body Refining Technique.

But Du Youqian had no such concerns.

’I have the "One Certificate Forever" ability. If I can successfully achieve Harmonization with a mainstream Qi Cultivation Technique in the future and enhance my Divine Sense, then in my next life, I can go through Body Refining and Harmonization again to improve my Physique and comprehend some physical Divine Abilities... This is definitely a path worth trying.’

Du Youqian now had a basic understanding of Little Wukong’s strength.

Give it six Tier Four Treasures, let it use its Three-Headed Six-Armed Divine Abilities and Copper Skin Iron Bone Divine Abilities, and with almost no technique required, just by swinging them around, there would be practically no Tier Four Cultivator who could stop it.

Except for someone like Du Youqian, who was invincible among his peers.

As for his own strength, now that he had a point of reference, it became much clearer.

Although he wasn’t a Body Refining Cultivator in this life, he hadn’t skimped on using Body Tempering treasures.

Adding on his physical Divine Abilities, "Inch and Mile," and his newly comprehended Divine Abilities, he could clash head-on with Little Wukong’s physical body for a while.

If he went all out, using every trick up his sleeve, Du Youqian was confident he could defeat someone with the strength of Ye Rui—a Major Sect’s Direct Inheritance at Nascent Soul Perfection—in a one-on-one fight within twenty moves.

A Major Sect’s Direct Inheritance was what most people would consider a "prodigy."

The "prodigy" level was also what Du Youqian expected of Ling Hua.

As for Deng Maoyu, Du Youqian’s expectation for him was to become an existence that even prodigies would have to look up to.

As for Du Youqian himself... he still had some shame, so he was too embarrassed to compare himself to others.

’I’m not a genius, let alone a prodigy. I’m just a cheater—a cheater who can break through the Mystery of the Womb early in every life, inheriting all my experience, my Divine Abilities, and even a portion of my Divine Sense.’

’If I were to compare myself to these ordinary prodigies, wouldn’t that just be bullying an honest person?’

The monkey got new toys. Taking the six Tier Four Treasures Du Youqian had given it, it went out to play wildly.

As for its Dharma Robe, made from a Tier Four Tiger King Hide, Du Youqian took it back. He planned to use his near-mastery level of Artifact Refining to modify it, allowing it to adapt to the changes in Little Wukong’s body size during Transformation, resizing as needed.

Just as Du Youqian returned to his rented cave residence, he saw Lin Sha pacing back and forth.

Du Youqian’s gaze sharpened. ’Is the casting process over?’

’Has she broken through the Mystery of the Womb?’

Seeing Du Youqian return, Lin Sha looked relieved and ran lightly toward him. "Immortal Master, I failed to awaken my Past Life Memory. Did you make a mistake? Was I not someone you knew in my past life? Why don’t you just send me back?"

Du Youqian frowned, but his brow quickly smoothed out. He reached out like a lightning bolt and pinched Lin Sha’s delicate, jade-like skin. "You haven’t even started your Cultivation yet. What gave you the courage to act in front of me? Have you forgotten how easy it was for you to sense the thoughts and Emotions of Mortals and Junior Qi Cultivation Cultivators when you were at the Initial Core Formation Stage?"

Lin Sha stuck out her tongue and threw herself into Du Youqian’s arms. "I just wanted to see if you would get nervous."

Du Youqian stroked her beautiful hair and said calmly, "Of course I was nervous."

Lin Sha grabbed the corner of his robes, her hands quickly moving up to wrap tightly around him, as if afraid of losing him again. "You didn’t listen to me. I told you to let me reincarnate sooner, but you didn’t listen."

"As long as the result is good, that’s all that matters. Are you satisfied with this result?"

Lin Sha closed her eyes. "Very satisfied. I’d be even more satisfied if you hadn’t brought Fang Hua, Wu Ai, and that strange woman here."

Du Youqian lowered his head and kissed her.

’I really didn’t know how to argue my way out of that one. I could only seal her lips with a kiss.’

~~~~~~~~~

The second person to undergo the awakening was Luo Jinyu.

Du Youqian had arranged it.

If he didn’t awaken this guy’s Past Life Memory soon, he might find a way to secretly run away.

Du Youqian still preferred the Luo Jinyu from the previous life. ’What an honest young man he was.’

Not like the Luo Jinyu of this life, who appeared serious and honest on the surface but was ninety percent pure cunning.

Luo Jinyu’s awakening process was unremarkable, without the slightest hiccup.

As he walked out of the secret chamber in a daze, he was so preoccupied that he didn’t notice Du Youqian, who hadn’t deliberately concealed his aura or reduced his presence.

"Junior Luo, what’s on your mind?"

"Junior Luo? Junior Luo!"

Luo Jinyu finally snapped back to his senses and quickly bowed. "Greetings, Brother Yu... no, Brother Baili... that’s not right either. What should I call you now?"
