Cosmic Trading System

At this moment, Little White and Little Blue's levels were nothing to scoff at. Nourished by the Bloodthirsty Sword, they had reached a superlative state, and not at a low tier either. In terms of realm alone, they were even higher than Lin Yun.

When two such powerful spirit entities released their spiritual aura, the output was naturally immense. Centered around the Sanqing Palace, waves of joyful aura spread out to the surroundings, even reaching the entire Earth.

This made it seem as if all of humanity on Earth was undergoing a purification of the soul, with many people involuntarily kneeling in the direction of Sanqing Palace, as a mysterious Power of Faith arose spontaneously.

"One Yin and one Yang, these two types of Spiritual Energy..." Lin Yun's face showed a slight change.

Perhaps he had never fully grasped the abilities of Little White and Little Blue. At this moment, he realized that the Spiritual Energy they emitted was very special and on some levels, even far surpassed that of other deities of similar rank.

"Influence! Yes, that's it, influence! The Mental Strength released by the combined efforts of Little White and Little Blue has a significant and profound impact on people..." Lin Yun quickly realized what it was and took a deep breath, murmuring with a bit of sentimentality.

This ability was no simple feat.

Take himself, for instance. His realm may not be as advanced as Little White and Little Blue's, but the Spiritual Energy and spiritual aura he released were no less than theirs. However, his Spiritual Energy and spiritual aura were purely that, free of other influences.

Although it could also affect others, the influence it had was far from matching that of Little White and Little Blue.

Such influence... is akin to hypnosis... Hypnosis is omnipresent, with some aimed at enemies, some at allies, and some at oneself. Even warriors of the Sanctuary cannot escape this fact.

Just as a Sanctuary warrior cultivates their state of mind through continuous self-hypnosis, making it purer, more perfected, and more steadfast.

This was vastly beneficial to a warrior's realm cultivation.

"It is said that in myth, the Buddha achieved enlightenment under a Bodhi Tree. Although there is no such person as the Buddha in the Immortal World or the Heavenly Realm, there is a reason why such stories have trickled down through the ages. Perhaps, within that Bodhi Tree, there existed spirituality akin to that of Little White and Little Blue..."

Lin Yun thought to himself.

"No wonder Little White and Little Blue were planted at the site where the Taoists Ancestor lectured. Perhaps, Er Lee, the Taoists Ancestor, also noticed the extraordinariness of Little White and Little Blue..." He reflected with emotion.

"The stronger Little White and Little Blue become, the greater their influence. Now that they have reached the top tier of the superlative state through the Bloodthirsty Sword, the effect they have on me is significant. With the help of Little White and Little Blue, I, as well as anyone within their sphere of influence, will be able to cultivate at an even faster rate..." Lin Yun thought to himself.

This was indeed good news. Though his strength was already formidable, True Martial Saint Lord had shown him a much broader world, and he realized how meager his current strength was in comparison. Naturally, he wanted to become even stronger.

Furthermore, not to mention the powerful Langya Saint Lord who harbored animosity towards him, the universe was now connected to the mysterious and powerful Netherworld. There was no telling what dangers he might encounter, so the faster he could enhance his own strength, the better.

"Hum! Hum! Hum!"

Little White and Little Blue merged into two ancient cypresses, and the trees emitted dazzling white and blue lights.

Several hours later, the commotion gradually subsided until, at last, the two ancient cypresses shrank rapidly. Soon, they fell to the ground, transforming into two plump toddlers wearing bellybands—the original spirit forms of Little White and Little Blue.

In this moment, the two little ones possessed bodies, becoming existences both spirited and enchanting.

"Big Brother Lin Yun!"

"Big Brother Lin Yun!"

The two little ones rushed to Lin Yun's side and joyfully clung to his legs.

The path of spirit cultivation, relying heavily on external power of faith due to the lack of bodies, is extremely difficult, especially at higher levels. However, by a stroke of luck, the two little ones, aided by the Bloodthirsty Sword, had rapidly ascended to a very high realm.

Now, having obtained their own bodies—bodies that were their original forms—they were naturally overjoyed.

This meant they could detach themselves from the system of spirit cultivation. They could rely on their tree embodiments to cultivate, and their potential had greatly increased.

"Congratulations, Little White and Little Blue, you've now fused with a spiritual body and gained your own forms, so you don't have to worry about cultivation issues anymore!" Lin Yun said with a smile.

Perhaps, from now on, Little White and Little Blue would not be able to rely on the Bloodthirsty Sword for cultivation, but the way the sword enhanced their powers always bordered on demonic practices and was not a sustainable solution.

Regular cultivation like this was more reliable.

Thinking of the Bloodthirsty Sword, Lin Yun looked up at it; he saw that the sword, suspended in mid-air, was still emitting a blood-red glow, though not as intensely as before.

Little White and Little Blue, who had once deeply integrated with the Bloodthirsty Sword, had now left it, causing some damage to the sword. Lin Yun sensed that Little Blood within the sword was busily engaged in repairs.

Seeing Lin Yun's gaze upon it, the blood-red light emanating from the Bloodthirsty Sword hesitated imperceptibly before it didn't immediately fly towards him.

Lin Yun faintly sensed a trace of hesitation from Little Blood within the Bloodthirsty Sword, but eventually, the sword flew towards him and landed in the palm of his hand.

Lin Yun's eyes narrowed undetectably.

It seemed that Little Blood was still not entirely honest... Perhaps it was because he had never completely refined the Bloodthirsty Sword? He didn't want to refine the sword, but he had always been unable to. It seemed he needed to find some time to figure out how to refine it, given the undisputed power and immense strength of the Bloodthirsty Sword.

Losing the Bloodthirsty Sword would greatly diminish his strength, that was one aspect.

And he wouldn't feel at ease if the sword fell into someone else's hands.

"Mhm!"

"Brother Lin Yun, we've found that we can still help you!"

Just then, Little White and Little Blue nodded in agreement.

"Oh? What did you find?" Lin Yun asked, turning to Little White and Little Blue with curiosity.

"We can help you and others with their cultivation. Just now, some information appeared in our minds..." Little Blue's small mouth opened and closed as a childish voice spoke up.

"Are you saying that information on how to help others with their cultivation has emerged in your minds just now?" Lin Yun asked in slight surprise.

He had sensed this already, but Little White and Little Blue too? What was this about? Was it an automatic explanation of the universal truth within them, or a legacy information, as per the legends?

"Yes, that's right!" At that moment, Little White and Little Blue nodded again, very happily.

Clearly, they were pleased that they could continue to help Lin Yun. They had been worried that they wouldn't be able to aid Lin Yun after leaving the Bloodthirsty Sword.

"That's wonderful, Little White and Little Blue, I'll be relying on you a lot from now on!" Lin Yun nodded repeatedly, saying with a smile.

Perhaps the two little ones were even more formidable than he had imagined, but that was good. They were innocent and cute, and very kind and dependent on him, so the stronger they were, the better.

Hearing Lin Yun's praise, Little White and Little Blue lifted their little heads, looking quite proud and pleased with themselves.

But then Little White seemed to think of something and immediately turned to look at the Bloodthirsty Sword Lin Yun carried on his back, adopting a grown-up manner and admonishing, "Little Blood, from now on you must listen to Brother Lin Yun, or else Little Blue and I will come in and beat you up!"

Little Blue also turned her gaze toward the Bloodthirsty Sword on Lin Yun's back, but her little face turned slightly red, and she didn't speak, simply exuding an air of agreement with Little White's words.

Compared to Little White, Little Blue had always been a rather shy spirit, and even though she now had a body, her nature hadn't changed much.
