Chapter 1383 The Method Of Cultivating The Spiritual Body

"Do you know the story of Osiris?" The woman began her lesson with a question.

Cloud chimed in, "Wow, it seems like you're quite knowledgeable about history."

Annoyed, she blurted out, "Don't interrupt me."

"Right. My mistake." He smiled sheepishly.

She glared at him as he continued, "He was an ancient deity and ruler. His younger brother, Set, killed

him and took his throne. Not only that, Set even dismembered him and scattered his body parts

throughout the region. His wife, Isis, found all the pieces of his body, reassembled them, and brought

him back to life."

The woman nodded. "Correct. However, there is a prerequisite. One must first be dead."

He replied dumbfoundedly, "How does this relate to cultivating the spiritual body? She simply

reassembled his body."

She nodded, "Indeed. He was already a god to begin with."

She referred to their reassembled bodies as spiritual bodies because both of them were deceased and

had become ghosts. The reassembly of the deceased body was considered a method of cultivating the

spiritual body.

Cloud nodded. "So, in our case, do I start by finding the lotus?"

The woman whispered, "No, it's not necessary."

"If you ever manage to escape one day, search for the sacred tree," she explained. "Lotuses are

ordinary, but the sacred tree follows its own rules. The object you are seeking must be both divine and

connected to the underworld. As ghosts, we may not be able to control things that emit positive energy.

Their power might overwhelm and kill us. As far as I know, besides the sacred tree, the phoenix tree

and the giant mulberry tree are two other holy trees that can aid in reconstructing the spiritual body.

The phoenix tree is a divine tree created by the phoenix using its own blood in mythological legends.

The phoenix only perches on the phoenix tree, which serves as its resting place. For us ghosts, the

phoenix tree can also accommodate our souls, making it one of the best choices for reconstructing the

body. The giant mulberry tree is a gateway that connects the Divine Realm, the Human Realm, and the

Underworld in ancient mythology. However, I doubt that both of them actually exist..."

Mythological legends still persist in Dudroinia to this day. Therefore, the woman had always believed

that these stories were mere fabrications. However, as she became a ghost cultivator, the more she

trained, the more she felt that these stories were not mere legends. Perhaps in ancient times, there

were truly cultivators who could freely traverse the Divine Realm and the Underworld. Yet, they were

not bound by any restrictions. Perhaps it was a primordial world where gods and demons peacefully

coexisted, and there were no boundaries separating the three realms. Maybe the creatures described

in the ancient texts were real. Unfortunately, there is no evidence to support the existence of such

beings other than mythical legends.

Cloud nodded. "I understand. So, what is the sacred tree you mentioned earlier called?"

The woman shook her head. "It is simply known as the sacred tree. Legend has it that it was born from

Emperor Eastmount's Order when he underwent the Test of Thunder. I have searched for its

whereabouts, but there are rumors that Emperor Eastmount took it with him and later gave it to

someone else. Since then, its location has remained unknown."

He nodded again, taking note of this information.

The woman continued, "I'm not sure if the phoenix tree and the giant mulberry tree exist, but the sacred

tree does exist. However, it is extremely difficult to find. If you ever have the chance to go to the Nether,

you should search for the Refined Lotus. As long as you pay attention, you will learn about its

whereabouts."

Although it was also a challenging task, it was much easier compared to finding the sacred tree. At

least there was information available about the Refined Lotus.

Cloud promised, "I will remember this."

The woman felt somewhat relieved and said, "This is just the first step. The most important thing is to

remember the method."

She slowly explained the method, and due to his good memory, he was able to memorize it after

hearing it twice.

"Is that all?" he asked.

The woman was taken aback for a moment, then she laughed. "You've memorized it. Yes, yes. That's

all."

When he finally begins to reconstruct his body, he will realize that there is a vast difference between

theory and practice. It may sound simple, but it is not easy to achieve.

About a day had passed since she finished her story. She fell silent as she had nothing more to tell

him.

Although it was clear that Cloud would most likely die before her, there was a slight comfort and hope This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

within her, as if she had truly passed down her cultivation method.

Cloud tried to strike up a conversation, but the stomach cavity they were in started to shake violently.

At that moment, he felt something pushing him up. When he looked down, he saw the woman's face.

She complained, "I've never carried a man before. You're the first."

He felt both apologetic and grateful for her gesture. He was also a bit embarrassed. "I'm sorry... Still,

thank you!"

She ignored him and used her remaining strength to reach for her rib cage, which emerged from the

stomach acid. Reаd at NovelDrama.Org

He glanced at it and was surprised to see that it had been severely corroded, with only a few rib bones

remaining.

A resolute determination flashed across her eyes as she forcefully stabbed her rib bone into the

stomach wall.

Cloud wasn't expecting this, but the woman simply said, "Hold onto this."
