Chapter 37: Sharingan, Second Origin Point, Complementary Powers
Above the high peak where the Body Sect was located, the sea of clouds still churned, but the atmosphere inside the Body Sect had become unprecedentedly high-spirited due to Du Busi's breakthrough.
However.
Just as the Sect's prestige returned to its peak, Lin Sheng requested to take his leave from Du Busi.
"Go to the Far North?"
Du Busi stood on the terrace of the Sect's main hall, his brows locked tightly, his emerald green eyes filled with doubt.
"Lin Sheng, your cultivation is currently in a period of explosive growth. With the dragon core in hand, returning to the Sect for closed-door cultivation to absorb it is the right path."
Du Busi was puzzled.
The Far North is extremely dangerous; usually, only ice-attribute Spirit Masters would risk entering it.
You, Lin Sheng... you have nothing to do with the ice attribute!
"That northern ice field is desolate and uninhabited. Aside from the freezing wind and snow and a bunch of reckless Spirit Beasts, there isn't anything good there."
"If it is to find an ice-attribute spirit ring, the Sect's treasury also has plenty in stock, why risk yourself?"
Although Du Busi was arrogant by nature, he cared for his closed-door disciple Lin Sheng from the bottom of his heart.
Now that he was a Limit Douluo, he naturally hoped that Lin Sheng could steady himself under his watchful eye.
"Teacher, my path is different from others."
Lin Sheng bowed slightly, a trace of indisputable firmness revealing itself in his Sharingan.
"The evolution of the Sharingan requires extreme external environmental stimulation. The dragon core is certainly a supreme treasure, but..."
He paused and continued.
"The Far North has a way to smooth out the power within me."
"If it is not thoroughly sorted out, it will eventually become a hidden danger for me when I attempt to reach a higher realm. The Far North is a place I must go."
Du Busi stared at Lin Sheng for a long time.
Seeing that the child's eyes were clear and deep, he finally sighed helplessly and waved his hand.
"Fine, you brat have had your own ideas since you were little."
"I will send two Title-level Elders to accompany you, so there will be someone to look after you, lest something goes wrong in that icy wasteland."
"That won't be necessary, Teacher."
Lin Sheng politely declined.
"Some things I must face alone. If there are too many people, it will instead disturb the 'indigenous inhabitants' there."
"You wouldn't want the Spirit Beast herds there to launch an attack on me, would you?"
Du Busi was stunned for a moment, then gave a bitter smile.
"Fine, I will follow your wishes, but take this Body Sect amulet. If you encounter a life-or-death crisis, crush it, and I will be able to use Teleportation to reach your side, even if it costs me this cultivation."
Taking the warm jade amulet,
Lin Sheng felt a trace of warmth flow through his heart.
He did not say anything more, shouldered his simple bag,
And at the break of dawn, transformed into a dark red stream of light, resolutely charging toward the distant north!
"The Far North..."
"This kid has quite a few secrets."
Du Busi stood with his hands behind his back, talking to himself.
"However... while the Sun Moon Empire's ambition has not yet fully manifested, I must improve my strength as quickly as possible."
The journey north was long and dull.
As the altitude rose and the latitude increased, the moisture in the air gradually condensed into frost.
Lin Sheng advanced rapidly by relying on the circulation of his spirit power,
While his consciousness had long since sunk into that vast sea of golden radiance.
"Senior Electrolux, I want to confirm one thing."
Lin Sheng looked at the gray figure that was as ethereal as smoke before him and asked in a deep voice.
"If, according to your plan, I use the great power of heaven and earth in this Far North to activate and strip away the ice elements that Tianmeng brought to me."
"Will my body... develop a second Spirit?"
According to common knowledge on the Douluo Continent...
If a Spirit Master possesses two completely different source powers, it often means the awakening of twin spirits!
Moreover...
The second Spirit was originally supposed to be bestowed upon him by Tianmeng.
If Lin Sheng could possess a second Spirit with an ultimate ice attribute, his strength would surely see a qualitative leap.
However, Electrolux gently shook his head.
Those deep eyes that could see through life and death carried a coldness that bordered on truth.
"It will not."
Electrolux's voice was low and powerful.
"Child, you must understand that your Sharingan Spirit has an extremely high status; it is not a product of the local laws of this World."
"It is a source of destruction that is strongly exclusive, and can even be called unique."
When mentioning the Sharingan, Electrolux's tone also became filled with admiration.
"It was born the moment you were subjected to intense emotional shock."
"Your body and soul were already branded by it the moment you awakened these eyes. Its dominance cannot tolerate the coexistence of any second Spirit within your body."
Lin Sheng frowned.
The blood-colored Mangekyo patterns in his eyes rotated slightly...
"So, even if I strip away the ice elements, I still cannot obtain a second Spirit status?"
"That is correct, but what I want to open up for you is a second origin point that is independent of the Spirit system."
Electrolux raised his hand, then tapped into the void, opening up two clusters of radiance.
"This origin point is like a satellite in your sea of consciousness; it usually acts as a second energy pump for your Sharingan Spirit to provide amplification."
"In other words, your Sharingan can utilize this power of ultimate ice to unleash strange ocular techniques with freezing attributes."
Lin Sheng's eyes flickered.
"Does that mean I can treat this power as an attachment or a second drive source for the Sharingan?"
"You can understand it that way."
Electrolux nodded.
"Although it cannot absorb spirit rings like a Spirit, it is an existence that will continuously self-evolve as your mental force grows."
"When one day you completely master it..."
"Perhaps you will be able to cultivate a path that belongs to you, and perhaps, it will save your life in a desperate situation."
After listening to Electrolux's explanation,
The last trace of doubt in Lin Sheng's heart dissipated like smoke!
He did not need the twin spirits defined by the World; what he wanted was absolute control.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
When Lin Sheng arrived at the edge of the Far North, the ground beneath his feet had changed from withered yellow meadows to frozen earth as hard as iron.
Looking out,
The skyline was occupied by an endless expanse of snow-white.
The violent wind, mixed with ice shards, scraped against his skin like tiny flying knives.
"Damn, it's really cold. I need a down jacket made of goose feathers."
"I won't wear it if it's not made of Emerald Swan feathers."
Tianmeng Iceworm: "???"
"Who are you talking about?"
Lin Sheng pulled up the hood of his windproof cloak, covering his handsome yet cold face.
In his field of vision,
The originally colorful World became exceptionally pure at this moment; it was the ultimate blue and white.
"Finally here..."
In the sea of consciousness, Tianmeng Iceworm also looked with some nostalgia at this homeland he had been away from for so long.
His voice carried a hint of complexity.
"Lin Sheng, if you keep going forward, you will reach the core circle of the real Far North, where the temperature will drop to the extreme."
"Brother's cast-off shell should be able to help you."
Lin Sheng looked up toward the sky filled with wind and snow in the north, the Sharingan flickering with a faint red glow under the shadow of his hood.
"Alright, let's go."
