The methods used by soul cultivators may not only be aimed at enemies, but even if they are aimed at the cultivator himself, they are also ruthless.
For example, the seven souls of colorful light, although it is said to be for the purpose of refining the clones, but when the clones finally come out, they all have their own consciousness and personality, that is, eight different selves.
If he really cultivated to that level, would he still be himself? For Li Yan, he would never allow a different self to appear.
Another technique that Li Yan saw was to separate some of the soul and inject it into an unconscious corpse. The soul separated by this technique would keep the corpse and one's consciousness the same at all times.
Even if one day one's soul is shattered, one can still rely on alternative means to achieve immortality;
Some techniques are even more unconventional. They can refine and purify the souls of powerful cultivators, and then merge them with one's own soul to quickly enhance the power of one's own soul.
But fusion is fusion. If the non-original soul is cultivated and strengthened, if one is not careful, the cultivator himself will become stupid and crazy, and will no longer be able to distinguish between reality and illusion.
"The soul cultivator's understanding of the law of the soul has reached a very crazy level..."
After Li Yan looked at each martial art, he hesitated for a while and did not make a choice immediately.
If these were the techniques that Li Yan came into contact with and practiced when he first embarked on the path to immortality, he would not think there was anything wrong with seeing them again now.
But he is a cultivator who follows the traditional path of immortality, and many things are engraved in his bones.
Bloody and cruel, that is just a person's way of dealing with things, which is different from actually putting something incomprehensible on oneself...
"Saint Soul Transformation, skill level: Condensation to Nascent Soul, price: 100 'Soul Crystal Buds' (or equivalent spirit stones) of 200 years.
The seven spirits and three souls are cultivated into the sun and the moon, the yin and yang are in harmony, the dragon and the tiger are in harmony, the yang spirit and the yin spirit are called the alternation of day and night, and the feasible rotation of heaven and earth changes...
On the day when the Yang Soul and Yin Soul are fully formed, the soul and spirit will merge into one to become the Tai Chi Holy Soul. There will no longer be any trace of the three souls and seven spirits. The sun and the moon will not perish, and the soul will not perish. In reincarnation, it will all become the same…”
As Li Yan was looking at the rows, he suddenly saw such a martial art, which shocked his body.
"The Holy Soul Transforms... Yang Soul and Yin Soul, the sun and the moon are immortal, the soul is immortal... Is this immortality?"
After seeing the introduction on the domino, Li Yan was shocked. Compared with other skills, this domino only had some simple introductions.
But what Li Yan never expected from the description above was that there actually existed such a skill in this world that dared to claim to be immortal. But he immediately realized that something was wrong.
"… No, according to the dominoes, this set of skills can only be cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage. How can it reach the state of shining with the sun and the moon
I have only seen Shuang Qingqing's soul being preserved because of the strange reason of the 'Ancient Cave Black Hole'.
That might be due to the time laws of the space she was in. This was an external force, not caused by the internal factors of the cultivation method...
This technique is probably exaggerated? The Buddha's self-proclaimed immortal and indestructible Vajra body seems to be just a legend. At least in the fairy world, they also have the theory of reincarnation and becoming a Buddha again.
If this technique is really like this, then as long as you practice this technique to the Nascent Soul stage, then the soul cultivator can almost roam the entire fairy world and don’t have to hide anymore…”
Li Yan stared at the domino, but his mind was full of thoughts.
Entering into immortality is the ultimate goal of every immortal cultivator. In order to achieve this goal, each of them has to go through hardships and bloodshed along the way.
But here, there is such a set of skills, and it is displayed here so easily for people to watch. It is too unbelievable.
Logically speaking, Li Yan felt that his analysis was correct, so he should be able to leave. But this was the Soul-Calming Palace's Dharma Teaching Pavilion, and the other party should not make such a low-level mistake.
"Does this mean that this technique is very difficult to practice, or..."
"This fellow Taoist seems to be new to the sect. He has been standing in front of this technique for a long time. This is just a fragment. He can only cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage at most. Hehehe..."
At this moment, a low voice suddenly came over, which was obviously deliberately suppressed here, because there was still a clearness in the person's voice.
Li Yan turned around immediately after hearing that.
He had already sensed the presence of other people in this row. Just now there were three or four people moving in front, and now there were only himself and the person behind him.
When Li Yan turned around, he saw a young man in a dark green robe standing not far to his left.
After seeing this man's face, Li Yan couldn't help but secretly praise him in his heart.
Although he had sensed someone behind him before, he did not look. Now that he saw him, he felt a little ashamed.
"What a good-looking appearance! Compared with Senior Brother Wuyi, he is actually on par with me!!"
Among the people Li Yan knows, Li Wuyi is the man Li Yan thinks has the most perfect appearance. Of course, judging a person is not only based on appearance, but also on the unique temperament that he exudes.
The man in front of him looked to be in his early twenties, with black hair that exuded a youthful glow, eyes like stars, eyebrows with eight colors, and a tall figure. He was about the same height as Li Yan, but he was more suave.
At this moment, this man was standing with one hand behind his back, his long robe fluttering, facing a red ball of light on the bookshelf. He turned his head and his pair of dark eyes were looking at Li Yan.
"Hello, fellow Taoist. My name is Li Yan!"
When Li Yan heard the other party's gentle words and there was no ridicule or malice on his face, he bowed slightly to the other party.
The young man in the green robe also looked Li Yan up and down. He felt that although this man had an ordinary appearance, his eye-catching short hair gave people a feeling of being as still as a mountain, and the whole person seemed to contain infinite power.
"Did this person also cultivate his physical body at the same time?"
Soul cultivators place more emphasis on meditation. They need to sit in meditation for longer periods of time than normal Dharma cultivators in order to continuously strengthen their soul power, but weak physical bodies are also a common problem for them.
Therefore, some soul cultivators would rather squeeze out some time to cultivate their physical bodies in order to make up for their weaknesses and shortcomings. However, such cultivators are still relatively rare among soul cultivators.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Li, Tang Feng!"
Tang Feng also raised his hands and returned the salute.
"Fellow Daoist Tang is familiar with this technique?"
“I can’t say I’m too familiar with it, but it’s said that this technique has been here for a long time. Almost every novice cultivator who comes here, more than 80% of them will stop and watch for a long time after seeing the introduction of this technique.
Moreover, there are even some people who finally practiced some techniques. Just now, seeing that Daoist Li has been staying here, I guessed that Daoist Li is not familiar with this technique. "
As Tang Feng spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at the red ball of light in front of Li Yan.
He just said a few words, but Li Yan could already tell some problems from them.
Especially when the other party said "there are even people practicing it", in Li Yan's opinion, this tone shows that there are big problems in practicing this set of exercises.
"Oh? From what Fellow Daoist Tang said, is it possible that this technique cannot be practiced, or is the introduction of the technique exaggerated, or will there be some problems after practicing it?? Fellow Daoist, please give me some advice!"
“Hehe, some people say that this technique is a fragment of a copy that the old sect master obtained when he was in the outside world. Maybe this is the origin.
Of course, there were people in the sect who had practiced it, but it was said that this technique was very difficult to practice, and the speed of practice was very slow. This was said by those who had practiced it.
If you look at the dominoes again, it says that the purpose of the exercises is to fully cultivate the entire soul, but now this set of exercises is said to be able to only cultivate the power of three souls and two spirits. The exercises that have lost five spirits should be the ones that disappeared later!
When practicing this kind of technique, it is inevitable that you will not be able to fully exert the power of your soul.
However, this technique also has its own unique features. It can make the soul more concentrated and accelerate the growth of the soul.
This allows the cultivator to use soul power to fight the enemy for a longer time, and the power of the soul technique he exerts can be much stronger.
At the same time, when this skill is practiced to the end, it should be able to form a light film on the outer layer of the soul, which has a great defensive effect on the soul. This is what many other skills cannot match.
However, it seems extremely difficult to reach this level. Forming a light film should be the highest level of this fragment.
Apart from that, as for the immortality of the sun and the moon, and the immortality of the soul, no one knows. After all, it is just a fragment and cannot be verified! "
Having said this, Tang Feng shook his head.
Although this technique has its advantages, it can make the soul more condensed, and there are many techniques for tempering the soul. The key is that the speed of practicing other techniques is faster than this technique.
Monks don’t have enough time to practice, so who would be willing to waste their time
As for the highest level of this incomplete copy, the soul-defending light film that can be cultivated has defeated countless cultivators.
"So that's how it is. Thank you, Brother Tang!" After hearing this, Li Yan immediately smiled and nodded towards the other party to express his gratitude.
Tang Feng also showed his snow-white teeth and smiled slightly. Then he ignored Li Yan and walked straight forward.
Li Yan looked at the other person's disappearing back, stretched out his finger and touched his nose, then he retracted his gaze and fell on the dominoes that introduced the "Holy Soul Transformation" technique.
"Refine and purify the soul, this is the foundation of all exercises, and it is also what I lack the most to lay a solid foundation for soul cultivation...
Moreover, if one can cultivate true soul defense, that light film should be something similar to a spiritual power shield. It is difficult to cultivate successfully, but it does not mean that it cannot succeed!
Compared with other techniques, this technique may be incomplete and difficult to practice successfully, but the price is not expensive. It only requires one hundred soul crystal buds of two hundred years..."
Li Yan thought in his heart.
He has practiced the Guishui Sutra, so he will be more pragmatic in choosing the martial arts method.
When anyone practices a skill, they actually think that it would be best if they could practice only one skill but get the benefits of ten skills.
Therefore, when choosing a martial art, one will try to choose one that is powerful, quick to practice, and even has auxiliary techniques.
But Li Yan's cultivation process was different. He started from the Guishui Sutra, which was a method of cultivation that did not even have basic techniques at the very beginning.
Therefore, he had long been accustomed to this mode of cultivation, and the focus he placed on was different from that of others...
After another hour, Li Yan's figure appeared again on the first floor of the Dharma Teaching Pavilion.
At the entrance, a middle-aged female monk was checking Li Yan's token. When she sensed the content engraved inside, a look of surprise flashed across her eyes.
She knew that this was another newcomer who was trying to practice this technique. It could indeed strengthen the soul and cultivate the ability to defend the soul. This was the ability she wanted to obtain when she saw it in the past.
But she would not bother to say anything to Li Yan. The dominoes were there with a statement. Whether he was willing to choose or not was up to the other party.
"Are you paying for the 'Soul Crystal Bud' or the Spirit Stone?"
The middle-aged female cultivator looked at Li Yan.
… …
Li Yan was suspended in the air, looking at a courtyard below. This was the residence he had chosen when he was in the Deacon's Hall.
This place is already close to the westernmost edge of the entire sect. As always, Li Yan likes to choose remote places.
Each courtyard here is about five miles apart. After all, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage is just an ordinary disciple here. It is considered good to be able to keep a distance from others.
Otherwise, every Nascent Soul disciple would be separated from others by dozens or hundreds of miles, and this area of tens of thousands of miles would be a bit crowded just for the Nascent Soul cultivators.
The courtyard is about two acres in size, and looking from the air, it seems very spacious and exquisite.
A red light flashed in Li Yan's hand, and a token appeared in his hand. He immediately planned to open the formation restriction in the courtyard.
At this moment, Li Yan's movements suddenly stopped. He looked to the side, where there was a beam of light flying towards him quickly.
The person in the escaping light obviously also saw Li Yan who was floating in the air. After a flash of the escaping light, it arrived in front of Li Yan, and at the same time a somewhat surprised voice was heard.
"Friend Li? You... you live here?"
As the brilliance of the escaping light faded, Li Yan was slightly stunned when he heard the voice, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"So it's Brother Tang, you... you are also a disciple of Yique Hall?"
Just as Li Yan was speaking, the man appeared. It was Tang Feng, whom he had met in the Dharma Pavilion before.
Tang Fengyin was wearing a dark green robe and not the clan leader's attire.
Therefore, when Li Yan was in the Dharma Teaching Pavilion before, he was unable to judge which hall the other person belonged to by looking at his clothes.
But this is the residential area of the monks of Yique Hall, so the other party's identity can basically be confirmed. However, it is not ruled out that the other party may be here to look for someone.
As soon as Li Yan arrived here, Tang Feng appeared. Li Yan didn't think that this person was following him.
Only the fat deacon knew where he lived. He and Tang Feng had never met before and just ran into each other by chance in the Dharma Pavilion.
"Haha, I really have a connection with you, Fellow Daoist Li. It seems that you live here. My residence is twenty miles west of here. When you are free, Fellow Daoist Li can come over to drink and discuss Taoism."
Tang Feng chuckled. He didn’t know before that Li Yan was a disciple of Yiquetang.
Meeting here at this time, and thinking about the scene when Li Yan chose the martial arts, he knew that this was the place he chose to live.
When Li Yan heard Tang Feng say this, he remembered that when he was choosing a residence, he actually wanted to choose the courtyard closest to the edge, but someone was already living there.
He wanted to stay away from others, and other monks would certainly have the same idea. At that time, he had no choice but to choose to move a little further east.
"I just arrived here today, and I don't know what it looks like inside. Fellow Daoist Tang, I can only invite you in to chat next time!"
Li Yan nodded and spoke to Tang Feng with some apology.
He had only met the other party twice, and it was impossible for him to become close friends with him immediately.
Besides, what he said was true. He hadn't even seen what the courtyard looked like, so how could he entertain guests
"You are too polite, Mr. Li. We are so close, and we have a long way to go. I will not disturb you any more!"
Tang Feng didn't say anything more. After saying this, he immediately drove away in a beam of light and flew towards the west.
Li Yan saw Tang Feng sway and quickly go away. After he retracted his gaze, he also waved the red token in his hand, and a white light flashed in the courtyard below.
Then, Li Yan fell down!
The next thing was familiar to Li Yan. After looking at the layout of the entire living environment, he performed a few small spells to clean the courtyard inside and out.
Then, after setting up his formation again, he stepped directly into the training room without any intention of resting.
Li Yan has never had very high requirements for the place of practice. In fact, a practice room with good spiritual energy is enough. He even rarely goes to the inner room to rest.
Not to mention other refining rooms, alchemy rooms, and breeding rooms. Li Yan's cultivation of immortal arts has always been his weak point.
After Li Yan entered the training room, he did not rush to practice, but thought about today's events, mainly the matter of the "long underground alley" in the formation.
The "Long Underground Alley" appeared here. Li Yan didn't know the specific origin of this formation. When he was in the Deacon's Hall, it was Master Lan who asked him questions. He didn't dare to ask about the source of this formation.
"The Soul-Calming Palace may have some kind of relationship with the Soul Prison Clan, otherwise there wouldn't be such an imaginary 'Long Underground Alley'.
When I was in the Qingqing Continent, there were only the relics left by the Soul Prison Clan. Later, no matter how hard the strong men of the Qingqing Continent tried to look for them, there was no trace of the Soul Prison Clan cultivators.
However, the 'underground alley' of the Soul Prison Clan is strangely connected to the Desolate Moon Continent.
After I returned to the Desolate Moon Continent, I also searched many books, but I couldn't even find any records about the Soul Prison Clan... How to explain the deep pool in the valley
The first generation ancestor of the Zhenhun Palace was also an ascended monk from the lower realm. Where did he ascend from? Qingqing Continent... or Desolate Moon Continent
Based on the information we knew previously, the Soul Prison Clan may have originally been a branch of the Xunxian lineage and slowly developed.
If the Soul-Calming Palace originated from the Soul Prison Clan, then the important inheritance must be placed in the ruins of the Soul Prison Clan. Although outsiders cannot easily enter the "underground alley", they are already very close.
When the Soul-Calming Palace monks were in the lower world, if they were really disciples of the Soul Prison Clan, they should have known how to enter, but judging from the formation they encountered today, they did not receive a complete inheritance… "
Li Yan kept thinking in his mind. He wanted to figure out the relationship between the two, so that in the future in the Zhenhun Palace, things like today would not happen to him.
Regardless of whether the Soul-Suppressing Palace and the Soul Prison Clan are friends or enemies, he must consider different reasonable explanations for his future mistakes and must not let himself be drawn into an unknown vortex.
Moreover, Li Yan has always had an unsolved mystery about the valley chosen by Strategist Ji. That valley was definitely not a random choice made by Strategist Ji. He should know something.
However, Strategist Ji had already turned into a pile of dry bones, and no one knew how many reincarnations he had undergone. There was no one left for Li Yan to search his soul!
