Chapter 598: Little Senior Brother

The Fifth Hundred Ninety-Seventh Chapter: Little Senior Brother

Wu Yu and Prince Rui left the imperial palace immediately and returned to the Wu Prefecture. Back at the Wu Prefecture, Wu Yu didn't even bother to see anyone, and immediately went to his room. After entering the room, he immediately shut the door and locked it.

Wu Yu knew that he had little time. The imperial palace was going to send people, and they would probably arrive in a few days at most. Within these few days, he had to complete the task and absorb the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi into his body.

As for how to absorb it, Wu Yu wasn't entirely sure. He had read about this in some cultivation technique manuals. Legend had it that the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi was a divine stone of the Taiyi True Man. Its essence could not be absorbed by ordinary people, but it could be absorbed by disciples who practiced the cultivation methods passed down by the Taiyi True Man, or people who had a certain connection with the Taiyi True Man. The Ancestor Stone of Taiyi could sense this connection.

When the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi was in the imperial palace, Wu Yu couldn't sense any connection. Now that he had returned to the Wu Prefecture, he had placed the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi in his room. He sat cross-legged on the ground and placed the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi in front of him. Then, he operated his spiritual power and slowly sent his spiritual power towards the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi. He also put his hands on the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi.

As soon as his hands touched the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi, he felt a warm current enter his body from the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi. This warm current was incredibly powerful, and it surged into his body like a flood. Wu Yu was shocked and quickly withdrew his hands. However, the warm current had already entered his body, and it was continuously circulating within his body.

Wu Yu didn't know what was going on. He had never encountered such a situation before. He could only try to guide the warm current and prevent it from causing harm to his body. He slowly circulated the warm current through his meridians. As the warm current circulated, Wu Yu felt his body undergoing a subtle change. His muscles became tighter, his bones became harder, and his spiritual power became more abundant.

After a while, the warm current finally subsided. Wu Yu opened his eyes and looked at the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi in front of him. He found that the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi had become slightly smaller. This meant that the warm current had been absorbed by him.

Wu Yu was both surprised and delighted. He hadn't expected to be able to absorb the essence of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi. He didn't know if this absorption would bring him any benefits, but at least it meant that he had a connection with the Taiyi True Man.

Wu Yu then continued to absorb the essence of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi. He placed his hands on the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi again and operated his spiritual power. This time, the warm current that entered his body was not as strong as before, but it was still very powerful. Wu Yu guided the warm current through his body and felt his body getting stronger and stronger.

He continued to absorb the essence of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi for several days. Each time he absorbed, the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi would become smaller. After several days, the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi had become less than half its original size.

On this day, as Wu Yu was absorbing the essence of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi, he suddenly felt a strong resistance from the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi. It was as if the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi was unwilling to be absorbed by him anymore. Wu Yu was confused. He didn't know what was going on.

Just as he was wondering, he heard a voice in his mind. The voice was very gentle and kind. It said, "Little Senior Brother, you can't absorb me anymore. My essence has been absorbed by you. If you absorb me anymore, I will disappear."

Wu Yu was shocked. He looked at the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi in front of him. He didn't expect the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi to be able to speak. He also didn't expect it to call him "Little Senior Brother."

Wu Yu asked, "Who are you?"

The voice replied, "I am the spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi. You are a disciple of my Master, so you are my Little Senior Brother."

Wu Yu was even more surprised. He didn't know that the Taiyi True Man had a spirit in his Ancestor Stone. He also didn't know that he was a disciple of the Taiyi True Man.

Wu Yu asked, "My Master? Who is your Master?"

The voice replied, "My Master is the Taiyi True Man. You are a disciple of my Master, but you don't know my Master? This is strange."

Wu Yu was confused. He had never heard of the Taiyi True Man before. He didn't know when he had become a disciple of the Taiyi True Man.

Wu Yu asked, "I have never heard of the Taiyi True Man before. When did I become a disciple of the Taiyi True Man?"

The voice replied, "You have the aura of my Master on you. Only disciples of my Master can have this aura. You must have received some inheritance from my Master."

Wu Yu thought about it. He had indeed received the inheritance of the Taiyi True Man. When he was in the Spirit Qi mountain range, he had entered a cave and obtained a cultivation technique manual. The cultivation technique manual was called the "Taiyi True Man's Supreme Cultivation Technique." He had been practicing this cultivation technique ever since.

Wu Yu said, "I did get a cultivation technique manual called the 'Taiyi True Man's Supreme Cultivation Technique.' Is that the inheritance you are talking about?"

The voice replied, "Yes, that is the inheritance of my Master. So you are indeed a disciple of my Master. You are my Little Senior Brother."

Wu Yu was delighted. He hadn't expected that practicing the Taiyi True Man's Supreme Cultivation Technique would make him a disciple of the Taiyi True Man. This was a great honor.

Wu Yu asked, "So you are the spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi. What are your abilities?"

The voice replied, "I have many abilities. I can help you cultivate, I can help you fight, and I can help you refine pills."

Wu Yu was excited. With the help of the spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi, his cultivation speed would definitely increase greatly. His fighting strength would also increase greatly.

Wu Yu said, "Great! Then please help me cultivate. I want to become stronger."

The voice replied, "Okay, Little Senior Brother. I will help you cultivate. But you need to absorb the remaining essence of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi into your body first. Only then can I fully integrate with you."

Wu Yu nodded and continued to absorb the remaining essence of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi. This time, the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi did not resist. Wu Yu quickly absorbed the remaining essence into his body.

After absorbing all the essence, the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi completely disappeared. At the same time, Wu Yu felt a warm current flowing through his body, and then it merged with his spiritual power. He felt that his spiritual power had become more powerful and pure.

Then, he heard the voice of the spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi in his mind. The voice was clearer and more distinct than before.

The spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi said, "Little Senior Brother, I have now fully integrated with you. I can help you cultivate."

Wu Yu was excited. He asked, "How can you help me cultivate?"

The spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi replied, "I can help you absorb spiritual energy from the outside world faster, and I can also help you refine spiritual energy more efficiently. This will greatly increase your cultivation speed."

Wu Yu was delighted. He had been worrying about his slow cultivation speed, but now with the help of the spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi, his cultivation speed would no longer be a problem.

Wu Yu said, "That's great! Then please help me cultivate."

The spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi replied, "Okay, Little Senior Brother. Let's start cultivating."

Wu Yu immediately sat cross-legged and began to cultivate. With the help of the spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi, he felt that the spiritual energy from the outside world was continuously pouring into his body, and his spiritual power was growing rapidly.

He cultivated for several days without stopping. His cultivation level was constantly increasing. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to breaking through to the next realm.

On this day, as he was cultivating, he suddenly felt a surge of spiritual power in his body. He knew that he was about to break through. He immediately concentrated his spiritual power and pushed towards the bottleneck.

With a loud bang, he felt that the bottleneck in his body was broken. A powerful surge of spiritual power burst out from his body. He had successfully broken through to the next realm.

Wu Yu was overjoyed. He hadn't expected to break through so quickly. All this was thanks to the help of the spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi.

Wu Yu said to the spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi, "Thank you, Senior Brother. You have helped me break through to the next realm."

The spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi said, "You're welcome, Little Senior Brother. This is what I should do."

Wu Yu was grateful to the spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi. He knew that with the help of the spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi, his future cultivation path would be much smoother.

He continued to cultivate for a few more days, consolidating his cultivation level. Then, he opened his eyes and looked at the outside world. He knew that the imperial palace would be sending people soon. He had to be prepared.

Wu Yu said to the spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi, "Senior Brother, the imperial palace is going to send people. I need to be prepared."

The spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi said, "Okay, Little Senior Brother. I will help you. But first, let me tell you some information about the imperial palace."

The spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi then told Wu Yu some information about the imperial palace. It turned out that the imperial palace had many powerful experts, including several cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core realm. There was even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul realm.

Wu Yu was shocked. He hadn't expected the imperial palace to have such powerful experts. He knew that he was still far from being a match for them.

Wu Yu said, "I didn't expect the imperial palace to have such powerful experts. I am still far from being a match for them."

The spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi said, "Don't worry, Little Senior Brother. Although they are powerful, you also have me. I can help you deal with them."

Wu Yu was relieved. With the help of the spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi, he felt that he had a better chance of dealing with the experts from the imperial palace.

Wu Yu asked, "Senior Brother, what abilities do you have that can help me deal with them?"

The spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi said, "I have many abilities. For example, I can use the power of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi to suppress them. I can also create illusions to confuse them. And I can also release powerful attacks."

Wu Yu was excited. With these abilities, he was much more confident in dealing with the experts from the imperial palace.

Wu Yu said, "That's great! With your help, I am much more confident."

The spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi said, "Good, Little Senior Brother. Let's prepare for the arrival of the imperial palace."

Wu Yu nodded and began to prepare. He consolidated his cultivation level and familiarized himself with the abilities of the spirit of the Ancestor Stone of Taiyi. He knew that a tough battle was coming.
