Zong Shou felt as if his whole body was in flames at this moment.
The fire of the sun is pure and blazing, and it is an excellent external force for refining the soul. However, except for those who are the most top spiritual cultivators, the souls of other monks will disappear as soon as they are illuminated by this blazing sun.
Therefore, the vast majority of monks, before returning to the Yang stage, use moonlight, whose power has been weakened countless times, as a supplement to practice.
Using a copper mirror to reflect the moonlight can also gather the sun's essence, which is several levels weaker than the moonlight. This was a method that was only figured out after six thousand years. Relying on the technique of mirroring the soul, the person who created this technique, with average to above average qualifications, was able to rise step by step, almost reaching the peak of the spiritual master.
In the era when Zong Shou was alive, this method had spread everywhere and almost everyone knew it.
It's just that at that time, the spiritual energy in the four directions was weak, and there were very few spiritual masters who could achieve anything.
At this moment, this method can make up for the shortcomings of the Tianyuan Hua method.
The bronze mirror is blurry and the reflection is not very strong. The moonlight is like water, and its glow is also extremely cold.
However, the light shining inside Zong Shou's soul immediately caused half of the smoke-like soul to disappear out of thin air, and the rest also shook violently.
Just when it was about to collapse, nine strands of sandalwood suddenly rose from below. The green smoke enveloped Zong Shou's soul, making it stable again.
"It's so hot! It seems that my whole body is about to ignite. Fortunately this time, I didn't worry about it. I prepared sandalwood and incense to stabilize the soul. Hey! These six bronze mirrors are like this. But I don't know that the real sky mirror reflects the soul. How painful will this technique be? In the past, I really underestimated those spiritual masters—"
The real technique of mirroring the soul is to use the "mirror of light" that appeared in the later generations as a magic weapon. It can be said that even the smallest detail can be seen.
And just six bronze mirrors are just the minimum requirement to be able to condense the essence of the sun. But even just like this, Zong Shou felt as if his soul was melting under the moonlight.
Zishi is when the sun's essence fire is at its weakest. Two quarters of an hour later, it will rise again.
Zong Shou did not dare to delay any longer, and controlled himself with his consciousness. The true soul seeds that had just been condensed rushed into the center of the sun essence fire.
Then he saw the impurities mixed into his own soul following his Yuan-Devouring Technique, constantly turning into wisps of light smoke, rising and disappearing. Even if there is a remaining part, it is completely integrated with his soul.
Until this 'seed', there is no other variegated color, and the deep purple is as bright as a gem. Only then did Zong Shou's thoughts sink into his body from the back of his head.
At this moment, Zong Shou felt that his five senses suddenly became more than ten times sharper. Within a hundred meters, all the falling leaves and insects are under his control.
Zong Shou didn't care much, knowing that this was a temporary phenomenon after the true soul seed was successfully constructed, and it would slowly subside after one night.
He hurriedly took a pill that he had prepared long ago, took a deep breath, and inhaled the nine strands of sandalwood into his lungs. Then the next moment, a sharp pain hit the back of his head, making him miserable. The muscles of the limbs are also weak.
This is a disease caused by excessive loss of soul, and it is the price that must be paid for the Heavenly Mirror Soul Illumination Technique. Fortunately, the pills in the abdomen gave off a slight sense of coolness in time. These sandalwoods also have the effect of warming and nourishing the soul, which can slightly relieve the pain.
After a while, Zong Shou gradually adapted. He placed a blue crystal between his eyebrows, looked at the almost flawless purple light spots inside, and couldn't help but smile in amusement.
This time he was willing to take a strange risk and practice the art of illuminating souls with a sky mirror, but of course he almost died. But the harvest was far beyond his expectations.
"In terms of purity alone, am I afraid that my current soul can't compete with those 'Huanyang' level spiritual masters? The soul injury will take longer to recover, and it will take seven or eight days to recover. It only takes two days. Months are enough. By the time the Lingyun Sect opens the mountain, not only the tires can be completed. Spiritual masters can also reach the state of concentration!"
Half a quarter of an hour later, as the angle of the bright moon in the sky shifted, the moonlight reflected in the six bronze mirrors also slowly moved away.
Zong Shou waited for his strength to recover slightly. Then he stood up and began to pack away the magic tools and talismans in the room. Not long after he started, a voice came into his ears.
"Brother Yin, although you work for the king, you are still a human being, and you are the queen of a famous family. Why do you have to interfere in the disputes in the Tianshan Mountains? Wouldn't it be better to just leave?"
"Leave like this? Feng Xiao, I wonder who taught you to say this? Is it Zong Shi, Zong Yang, or that Grand Master Yuan? Your Majesty, he has misjudged you! I was wondering before, that mere Zong Yu, how do you know the prince’s whereabouts?”
Zong Shou didn't care much at first, but as soon as these words came into his ears, his movements stopped.
With only a brief discernment, he knew that the sound was coming from a bridge sixty feet away from the inn.
"That voice is Yin Yang. I don't know where the other person comes from. Listening to his words, he seems to be one of my father's subordinates."
With a raised brow, Zong Shou listened carefully. However, Feng Xiao remained silent for a long time before speaking in a faint voice. "Young Master Zongshi, your Majesty has died after all, but we people still need to live well. With the prince's ability, even if he becomes the Demon King of Qiantian Mountain, he will only be harmed. Brother Yin, what are you doing again? Why are you so stubborn?"
"Sure enough, it's him. Feng Xiao, you do have some insight. This plan of killing someone with a borrowed knife is also good. But I don't know that now, the eldest son of the clan is planning to let the prince return to Qiantian Mountain and be his puppet. Or he still wants the prince to die. Outside Qiantian Mountain?"
But Feng Xiao sneered again, with an arrogant voice: "The young master of my clan is known as the Sky Fox clan, the first genius since the emperor. At the age of less than twenty, he has already broken through the body wheel and entered the innate realm. ! Recognized by many elders of the Zong family. You can conquer the Qiantian clans on your own, so why do you need any puppets? If you can take the prince away and fly away, you will never enter the cloud world. The young master thinks of brotherhood, and sincerely You can spare his life. But if you don’t know what is right and what is wrong, you still want to seek the position of Demon King of Tianshan Mountain. No matter how tolerant the young master is, you will still have to take his life!"
This time it was Yin Yang's turn to be silent for a while, and the voice continued: "Brother Yin, the oath you swore back then was to serve Qiantian Mountain until death, so why must you hang on a dead tree? Follow me. What future does that Zong Shou have? I know you want to take the crown prince to join Ling Yun, but in my opinion, Brother Yin may not be able to do what he wants! If you come to follow my young master, you might be able to protect the crown prince - "
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yin Yang's sneer: "Needless to say! People with different Taoist views do not agree with each other. Now that I, Yin Yang, have recognized the crown prince, I will never turn to anyone else again, and I will never regret it! Humph, I'm really ashamed to be with you. You are among those who betray the Lord!"
When he finished speaking, Yin Yang had already left without hesitation.
Zong Shou also shook his head slightly and stopped paying attention to the situation over there.
I really don't know whether to call Yin Yang loyal or stubborn. In fact, the method mentioned by Feng Xiao may not be a different solution.
If those words were spoken, wouldn't it completely cut off the escape route
Then he vaguely recalled that after he was expelled from Lingyun Mountain, Zong Yang and Grandmaster Yuan supported him as the Demon King of Qiantian Mountain. After that, it only lasted for a few years before it was overthrown by what the two people called the clan.
And listening to Feng Xiao's tone, it seemed that the three of them had already predicted the outcome of this trip to Tianshan—
interesting!
Zong Shou smiled instead of being angry, and the depths of his eyes turned cold again.
