Chapter 380: Chapter 349: Insightful Accommodation_1
“Husband, Xiao Pu’s expression seems a bit off?”
Just as Xu Mu finished taking a pill to replenish his spiritual power, he heard Feng Luan expressing her worries in his ear.
“No need to worry, I am aware!” Xu Mu said.
He had been keeping a close eye on Xu Tianpu’s situation and had noticed the changes in his expression: at times naive, at times silly, and at times there was a strange eerie charm, as if someone had a split personality.
In reality, it wasn’t far off from having a split personality.
Within the depth of Xu Tianpu’s soul, a foreign consciousness was awakening, bolstered by Xu Tianpu’s rising spiritual cultivation.
Luckily, Xu Mu had been using his secret mental skills to help Xu Tianpu suppress the foreign consciousness, preventing him from completely losing his sanity to it.
“Are you sure it’s fine?” asked Feng Luan, full of worry.
Although Xu Tianpu was often problematic, as parents, they never wished for any harm to befall him.
“Rest assured!” Xu Mu once again reassured her.
“Junior brother, could Tianpu’s condition be…?”
Mo Wuxin, being experienced and knowledgeable, had an inkling about the cause upon seeing Xu Tianpu’s reaction.
“It could be the reincarnation of a cultivator. However, we still don’t know their exact identity or cultivation level.” Xu Mu said coldly.
Xu Tianpu’s situation seemed as if an experienced cultivator was awakening their wisdom from a past life. While this would be considered a tremendous boon for ordinary people, it was not something Xu Mu wanted to see.
Those who could reincarnate and awaken the wisdom of a past life are usually cultivators of the Nascent Soul Stage or beyond. Usually, they have lived for thousands of years, and this phenomenon happens when their lifespan is about to run out.
Xu Tianpu is less than a hundred years old. If he were to awaken such memories prematurely, the consequence of him suddenly recalling thousands of years of memories would be disastrous — it would warp his personality, cognition, and values.
It would be fine if his past life was a cultivator of the righteous path. But if he were a vicious demon, the outcome could be extremely unpredictable.
Given that Xu Tianpu has inherent Yin and Yang Harmony cultivation skill, it’s safe to say it has something to do with Butian Pavilion. Xu Mu is all too aware of the recruits of the Butian Pavilion and thus, can’t let this foreign consciousness overrun Xu Tianpu’s mind.
It was for this very reason that Xu Mu has been suppressing the awakening of this consciousness.
And the reason why he didn’t stop Xu Tianpu’s cultivation improvement is that it would awaken anyway once Xu Tianpu reached the Golden Core Stage. It was merely a question of sooner or later.
Xu Mu wanted to enhance Xu Tianpu’s cultivation in one fell swoop to resolve the issue for good.
Furthermore, the increase in cultivation would also strengthen Xu Tianpu’s resistance against the foreign consciousness.
However, as Xu Tianpu’s cultivation ability approached the threshold of the Golden Core and Nascent Soul Stages, the foreign consciousness, which had been constantly suppressed by Xu Mu, faintly sensed danger and started to lash out in desperation.
“Who are you? Why are you ruining everything?”
Xu Tianpu’s naive appearance suddenly transformed into a cold and eerie charm. The voice coming out of his mouth also altered drastically.
“I am your father!”
Xu Mu coldly snorted, launching his secret mental skills in succession, scattering the emerging consciousness.
“Father! What just happened?”
Xu Tianpu’s demeanor returned to his naive self, and he asked in confusion.
“Don’t ask too much, stay focused, do not absorb those fragments of consciousness!
“Oh!”
Scared, Xu Tianpu quickly tried to concentrate his mind and comply with Xu Mu’s instructions.
However, he wasn’t able to resist the urge to absorb the consciousness fragments, despite his best efforts.
“Father, I can’t resist!”
Sweating profusely, Xu Tianpu stated in a dazed tone.
Xu Mu frowned deeply. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation. He initially thought that suppressing or shattering the foreign consciousness would be enough. But it turned out it was not as simple as he thought.
