After the short and strong man launched a round of overwhelming attacks, he still didn't hear any movement, but he sensed through the feedback vibration of the magic that his attack encountered resistance in one direction.
So, he was delighted in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He turned around instantly, and used all his strength to concentrate several soul arts to launch an attack in that direction.
But what surprised him next was that after all the soul skills were used, the attacks in that direction no longer had any feedback vibrations, and all hit the empty space...
He launched an attack as soon as he sensed the opponent's location, but the opponent dodged too quickly.
At this moment, a black light flashed slightly at the vital point on his lower back, and then silently disappeared into the blue light.
"hiss!"
The short and strong man felt that the seven souls in his body were caught off guard and were immediately torn into a small wound. He gasped in pain and sweat immediately rolled down his forehead.
"Senior, senior, please let me go. I have never offended you before. Please let me know. If you need any compensation, I will do my best to give it to you..."
The short and strong man's defense was broken again this time, and he also sensed the magic attack on him, which was the most basic soul attack, and it was the basic magic attack on the seven souls, "Pointing Soul Finger".
Faced with two or three consecutive attacks and the different effects they produced, the short and strong man suddenly thought of something and a look of horror appeared on his face.
The short and strong man could not see where the enemy was, but he could basically conclude that there should be only one enemy. Before, he did not understand why the other party attacked him again and again using only the most basic soul techniques
And just when he was defending himself, that person used his brutal soul power to crush him, which made him feel like the other person was playing with him.
This immediately reminded the short and strong man of some legends, which said that some old immortal cultivators had strange personalities and their actions were difficult to predict.
Especially the old monsters in their soul cultivation lineage, they cultivate the soul and the spirit. If they are not careful and there is a deviation in the cultivation, their soul and spirit will become distorted and fission will occur.
From then on, the whole person will become completely different from before, his personality will become eccentric and difficult to understand, and he will often do things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand, but he will take pleasure in it.
Could it be that I met this legendary person when I went out this time
Otherwise, if the other party really had a grudge against me, and had already set an ambush to trap me, I would definitely not have too many concerns in my mind.
At this time, you should most likely vent the hatred in your heart, ridicule or threaten yourself out loud.
Only by doing this, after you understand the reason, you will be filled with anger and fear, and then beg the other party bitterly, express your regret, and make the other party feel the pleasure of revenge.
Or just kill yourself and leave immediately to avoid any more trouble.
However, what he experienced was being tortured again and again by the other party using these basic soul techniques.
It seemed as if I had guessed the enemy's cultivation level, but the next moment, I felt that I had guessed everything wrong.
The other party's purpose may be to see you look confused and angry, so he will hide in the dark and feel inexplicably excited.
"This is a fucking lunatic. I... Why am I so unlucky? His mental state is not normal at all. He is not a human being..."
While begging, the short and strong man had already guessed his situation. When he thought of the madness of this monk, he couldn't help but feel extremely frightened in his heart.
He was sure that he was trapped in an illusion array, so all his previous attacks were able to reach outside the array.
However, the opponent can change the illusion at any time, making you think that you are attacking in the right direction, but in fact the direction has changed in a moment's thought.
"Senior, senior, I have no grudge against you, please forgive me..."
Li Yan, who was outside the formation, listened to the short and strong man's pleading, but he was not moved at all.
He had just taken on this person's counterattack. The pain on his face disappeared after he had carefully experienced it. He was now frowning in thought.
Li Yan has been practicing the basic soul cultivation techniques and soul skills for eight years, and has almost never stopped for a moment.
However, this kind of blind ascetic practice made Li Yan unable to judge what level he had reached now.
At the same time, he had no definite measure or judgment on the power of the soul techniques he practiced.
So a few days ago, he quietly left the cave and flew more than 30,000 miles in one direction.
This was the first time he had come out in eight years, and he had not been questioned along the way. Through these years of practice, Li Yan had gained a deeper understanding of soul cultivation.
After practicing the techniques, soul cultivators will not only breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but will also circulate the magic power in their bodies and merge with the rules of the outside world.
Even the soul in the body will break through the acupoints on the route according to the rules.
Once this basic breakthrough is achieved, the soul in the body can communicate with heaven and earth at all times and will respond to the sun, moon and stars, producing an invisible breathing movement similar to inhalation and exhalation.
In this situation, for non-soul cultivators, even if they see the other party right in front of them, they will know nothing about it.
But a true soul cultivator can easily sense this change, so he can know whether the souls of people around him are communicating with heaven and earth.
Then, through the strength of this change, one can sense the opponent's approximate realm of cultivation, and thus determine whether the opponent is a soul cultivator.
Soul cultivation is also a type of magic cultivation, just a more special one, just like poison cultivation, except that their methods of entering the immortal path are different.
Therefore, soul cultivators still need to form elixir and infant in their dantian. Even if the attack is mainly based on soul power, they still need the support of magic power and spiritual consciousness.
When one is able to use spiritual awareness in the outside world, their realm strength can also be basically determined by judging the fluctuations of mana in their bodies to determine their cultivation realm.
In the "Earthly Realm", normal soul cultivators generally would not deliberately block their souls from sensing the heaven and earth when they go out, so as to avoid misunderstandings in the "Earthly Realm".
Anyone who is a true soul cultivator can sense it, just like an invisible pass.
Before, although Li Yan's soul power was already quite impressive, he only used it in a simple and crude way.
If the soul wants to break out of the body and communicate with heaven and earth, the key is to break through some acupoints and let the power of the soul form a complete cycle according to the route of the practice.
At that time, Li Yan had not opened up this cycle at all. The power of his soul had no technical route to circulate, so others certainly could not sense his response to the heaven and earth.
Only when Li Yan calls upon soul power to attack will other soul cultivators sense it and know that his soul power exists and can leave the body.
Therefore, whenever he goes out, he will be constantly questioned!
However, there are many soul cultivators who are unwilling to show their cultivation, so they sometimes close these acupoints to hide their cultivation.
Therefore, some of Li Yan's behaviors are not considered unusual among soul cultivators. They will only make others suspicious, but this will lead to more investigations on him.
After all, in the "Earth Realm", the monks here have long regarded this space as their own forbidden territory and strictly prevented those "evil monks" from invading.
If the "evil monks" were to take root here, they would once again lose their paradise and would have to live in darkness, hiding from place to place.
After Li Yan went out, he began to look for lone cultivators everywhere. After finally confirming a cultivator whose soul cultivation level was at the Golden Core Realm, he used the "Stealth at Night" technique and quietly chased after him.
Poor Jindan cultivator, he never dreamed that there was actually a Yuanying cultivator who would resort to sneak attacks in order to deal with a young cultivator like himself.
With such a huge gap between the two sides, Li Yan knocked the opponent unconscious and sealed him with just one move.
Afterwards, he did not hesitate to consume the power of his spiritual consciousness and immediately absorbed this Jindan soul cultivator into the "earth spot". Then, he swaggered all the way and brought this person back.
He wanted to test it on this person to verify the results of his cultivation, but he would not kill this Jindan cultivator.
After using it up, Li Yan will once again use up his spiritual power to absorb the other party into the "Earth Spot" space, then completely erase this memory, fill it with other experiences of the other party, and modify his memory.
Not killing the other party was not because Li Yan was merciful, but because he did not want to attract other people's attention. It was better to have less trouble than more. This kind of person might also have soul lamps and natal soul tablets left in the sect. Even if the other party was a casual cultivator, it was possible that the other party had left some tricks.
Now, after slowly getting used to losing his spiritual consciousness, Li Yan also discovered many advantages of this place. He could use his spiritual consciousness, which gave him more abilities than the cultivators here.
He can search souls and modify other people's memories. These things, which other people can do easily in the outside world, are as difficult as ascending to heaven here.
Therefore, once Li Yan does something to others, 99% of them will not suspect it, because 99% of the people here should not be able to do it, and naturally will not suspect him.
The pleading voices kept ringing in his ears, but Li Yan turned a deaf ear to them, frowned and fell into deep thought.
Through simple attack and defense tests, he discovered that the soul technique he practiced still had significant problems and did not achieve his expected purpose.
He was just attacking a Jindan cultivator, and except for the first successful sneak attack, he was immediately defended by the opponent.
Later, Li Yan could only forcibly increase the power of his soul to overwhelm others and break through with violence...
After practicing the "Soul Condensation Technique" in recent years, Li Yan felt that the power of his soul, which had not grown for a long time, had grown again, and the speed was surprisingly not slow.
This made Li Yan very happy, but he knew that this situation would not last long and would no longer exist after a while.
The reason was that this was the first time that Li Yan was truly practicing soul cultivation techniques, so even some of the most basic and shallow techniques could allow him to improve quickly.
Sure enough, after practicing the "Soul Condensation Technique" for a year, the speed of practice began to slow down, and after the third year, it became even slower.
Encountering this situation already shows one thing: he needs a better soul cultivation method.
Through these years of practice, Li Yan has learned more about the wonderful uses of souls. By the way, even the power of the "pulling soul to kill" technique has been greatly improved.
In fact, Li Yan had anticipated this matter before practicing. This technique can also be regarded as the soul technique of Guishui Xianmen.
However, he still did not anticipate the final result. After he had mastered the soul cultivation technique, the power of "Pulling Souls to Kill" increased by at least 30%.
If Li Yan were to practice the Guishui Sutra normally, he would already be in the late Nascent Soul stage. The next time he wants to upgrade his "Soul Pulling and Killing", he would probably need to reach the Spirit Transformation stage.
Li Yan did not have an exact standard to measure the power of soul cultivation techniques, so he captured a Jindan cultivator to test it.
However, as for the "Soul-pulling and Killing" technique, he has used this technique against too many enemies and knows exactly how powerful it is. It will have a certain effect against those in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
After practicing for so many years, if he met a person like the old woman named He who was in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm again, Li Yan felt that just using this technique would cause the other party to suffer a great loss, and there was even a possibility that the soul would be severely damaged.
“The soul techniques I have practiced are still very crude, including the use of soul power and courage, which are also unable to be smooth and natural, wasting 30% to 40% of my strength.
It's still because the time for cultivation is too short, and it is difficult to improve the cultivation level by relying solely on the introductory technique of "Soul Condensation".
My soul strength is much stronger than others. As far as practicing soul cultivation techniques is concerned, my foundation can be said to be nothing.
To improve the power of the soul, one can only find a better method to practice, but the basic soul skills can be honed... "
After practicing the soul cultivation technique, Li Yan also learned about the soul cultivation method's classification of soul levels.
Before his soul level increased, although it was much stronger than that of ordinary cultivators, it was probably in the middle stage of Nascent Soul among soul cultivators.
After his practice of the "Soul Condensation Technique" in the past few years has increased again, he has actually reached the late Nascent Soul stage, which is the same level as the dual cultivation of Dharma and Body.
But if he were to use soul magic alone to fight the enemy, his combat power would be greatly weakened, and at best he could only exert power close to the early Nascent Soul stage.
This is under the premise that Li Yan has never practiced soul cultivation techniques, which shows how powerful the long underground alley of the "Soul Prison Clan" is.
At the beginning, Li Yan, without any martial arts skills, managed to concentrate his soul to such a high level.
Li Yan is now certain that it must be the core area of the Soul Prison Clan, but there are no Nascent Soul-level souls there.
But fortunately, there was no such thing, otherwise, he and Zhao Min might not have been able to come out until now.
This phenomenon can actually be explained. First, the training ground there may only be for ordinary disciples in the clan, not for high-level cultivators.
This means that there might be an even more terrifying training ground beneath the Soul Prison Clan, or there might simply be no place to train Nascent Soul cultivators.
Li Yan explained that the Nascent Soul cultivators in the lower realms were already top-level beings, and the God Transformation Realm should not exist. Therefore, they were unable to exert the true power of the God Transformation Realm.
In this situation, just imagine how difficult it is to capture Nascent Soul cultivators in the lower realm and then refine their souls for cultivation.
Even if there might be some, it would probably only be enough for a few people to practice, so the Nascent Soul level souls in the long alley that Li Yan experienced might have already been consumed.
“… My soul power has actually reached the requirements of the soul cultivator Yuanying level, but my soul skills are not good enough.
So I need to renew the lease for another ten years and concentrate on practicing these basic soul techniques until they are at least a small success. That way, I will be more confident in the sect assessment..."
After testing his own strength today, Li Yan had already made a judgment on his own strength in his mind and began to think about his next plan.
But when he thought about having to continue renting the cave, he sighed in his heart.
After he came to the "Earth Realm", although he had a considerable fortune, his spirit stones were constantly being lost. Moreover, in order to speed up his cultivation, Li Yan would often use spirit stones to recover when his mana was almost consumed.
If he continued like this, he estimated that if he did nothing, although he could still cultivate to the Spirit Transformation stage, this kind of drastic consumption would consume about half of his spirit stones by then.
Once you break through to the Spirit Transformation Realm, the subsequent consumption of resources will only become more terrifying. It will be good enough if you can hold on to the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. You still need to rely on a big tree for cultivation.
At this time, he raised his head again and looked at the short and strong man in the "Mirror Flower" illusion array.
The short and strong man in the illusion array stopped begging and looked around. He was not attacked again, and he felt that his words had worked.
Although the other party continued to remain silent, he was already thinking about it.
At a certain moment, the short and strong man suddenly felt as if a pair of eyes were quietly watching him, and he suddenly had a bad feeling...
Time flies, and the time of immortal cultivators always passes by easily. When mortals are still lamenting the ruthless years, the fading of beauty, and the turning of white hair and dry bones, another ten years have passed in a flash.
On this day, on the low mountain where Li Yan was, after the formation restriction flashed for a moment, a figure rose into the air, and the next moment, flew quickly into the distance.
This person was Li Yan, who had been in seclusion for another ten years. After selecting a direction in the air, he left.
… …
The short and strong man stood in a cave, surrounded by nothingness. He looked at the front in a daze, which was a pitch-black mountain wall.
He remembered that he was flying over a sea of clouds and suddenly lost his way in it.
Then, he flew at full speed in one direction, trying to get out as quickly as possible, but he plunged into an even thicker cloud.
What followed was a dizzying feeling, as if one was being teleported.
Afterwards, he found himself in a deserted forest!
