Thinking of this, Qin Shi's heart became irritated, but those black shadows didn't give him a chance to get irritated at all. The two nearby black shadows got up and stepped forward.
"Damn it! Why didn't Xi'er tell me earlier that there was such a terrifying existence in this hellish place? You didn't just want to trick me, did you?" Qin Shi frowned and quickly moved a few meters to the side.
But under the thousand-meter deep pool, the resistance of the water pressure was already very strong. Even if Qin Shi wanted to move sensitively, it was a bit difficult. As soon as he dodged a black shadow, several other black shadows quickly rushed towards him.
"That's too late!"
In an instant, the black shadow roared with ripples in the deep pool, then opened its huge mouth like a black hole and pounced on him.
Qin Shi stared at the ghostly black shadow, and had no choice but to put his hands on his chest, mentally prepared to be knocked away.
puff!
The black shadow bumped into Qin Shi, and a muffled sound echoed in the deep pool.
But immediately, Qin Shi couldn't help but frown. He found that his whole body was floating in place, and the pain he imagined did not appear.
"Huh?"
He looked down curiously, but found in a daze that his chest was safe and sound, with no signs of injury at all. He was shocked: "What the hell, what's going on?"
"What about the shadow?"
Touching his chest, Qin Shi suddenly thought of something and looked back, only to see that the black shadow that had just rushed towards him was already a hundred meters away.
Seeing the black shadow a hundred meters away, Qin Shi's expression trembled: "It's behind me? Does that mean it really passed through my body just now?"
"But if that's the case, how am I okay?"
This fact was so weird, Qin Shi's mind was filled with questions, but just when he was puzzled, another black shadow swam under the deep pool and pounced on him quickly.
"Again?"
Qin Shi just wanted to resist, but he saw that the black shadow had hit his chest. But what was shocking was that Qin Shi's body seemed useless in front of the black shadow. It ignored Qin Shi's body and leaped out.
"This this… "
Qin Shi, who witnessed it with his own eyes, was stunned.
If it was an accident the first time, how do you explain it this time
"It's so weird."
Qin Shi curled his lips, and immediately there was a dark shadow approaching him. A bold idea flashed through his mind. He raised his hand and slowly reached towards the dark shadow. When his five fingers touched the black shadow, , without the slightest touch, it penetrated directly.
"Could it be...an illusion?"
This phenomenon made Qin Shi suddenly surprised. He found that these black shadows had no entity at all, but were just illusory illusions.
After thinking about this clearly, Qin Shi became more courageous: "Drink, no wonder I can't feel the cultivation of these ghosts. It turns out they are all lies? I'm really scared to death."
"But it's strange, who set up the illusion under this deep pool? Is it the leader of the You clan of a certain generation? I don't understand." Qin Shi rolled his eyes, but after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. He only felt that there was something strange about this place. Weird.
"I'd better find the Soul-Gathering Flower first, and then leave this ghost place as quickly as possible."
For this reason, Qin Shi didn't want to delay any longer, so he gathered two spiritual lights on his toes, and his whole body burst out into the deep pool again.
But just as he was about to leave, his left arm suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and then a voice echoed in the sea of consciousness: "Jiejie, little guy, I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you become less courageous?"
"Hmm? Demon?"
Hearing that voice, Qin Shi frowned and said, "Are you awake?"
"That's right. Let's not talk about it for now. Seeing so many treasures, are you ready to let them go so easily?" The devil's voice sounded in the totem, this time it was obviously much mellower than before.
"Treasure? What treasure?"
"Of course it's these guys." The demon curled his lips and said, then raised Qin Shi's left hand and pointed at the black figures behind him.
Qin Shi frowned, looked back at the black figures floating in the deep pool, and said in surprise: "You said these illusion ghosts are treasures? Damn, have you slept for too long and your brain is rusted to death?"
"Illusion?"
The demon was stunned, and then twitched and cursed: "Bah, what kind of bullshit illusion, your brain is rusty, these black shadows are not some illusion, they are all the souls of the dead."
"Souls of the dead?"
"Well, and don't underestimate these souls, I can sense from them that all of these souls were powerful people during their lifetimes, and the weakest ones were above the Heaven-Seizing Realm." The evil demon rolled his eyes and said angrily.
Hearing the sound, Qin Shi gasped in surprise: "Hiss—above the Heaven Seizing Realm?"
"Nonsense, I really don't know how you become a Talisman Magician. You can't even distinguish the basic soul body, and you can still be scared out of your wits by them. Are you not afraid of being embarrassed if you spread the word?" The evil demon licked the corner of his mouth and cursed. road.
"Well… "
Qin Shi smacked his tongue but said nothing.
It seems that Evil Demon was not the only one to say this. Jade Rakshasa also gave him a hard look because of his confusion about the list of ancient ferocious beasts.
But Qin Shi disapproved and said: "Can you blame me? I am self-taught and no one has taught me."
Seeing Qin Shi's weird expression, the evil spirit said angrily: "Okay, don't be stunned, quickly use your mental power to refine them. This will be of great use to your spiritual cultivation."
"really?"
"Of course, I have lied to you?" the demon said proudly.
Qin Shi shrugged helplessly: "Perhaps, you only want to seize me. Who knows what An is thinking about now."
"are you mad at me!"
Seeing that the evil demon was about to break out, Qin Shi quickly waved his hands with a silly smile. He knew that the evil demon would not harm him, so he did not argue anymore, but looked towards the hundreds of souls.
"Can these toys really increase my spiritual cultivation?" Qin Shi pursed his lips and tentatively used two spiritual powers. The spiritual power had a lavender halo and caused invisible ripples under the deep pool. , passing by several nearby soul bodies.
Buzz!
After the spiritual power touched the soul, the purple halo clearly emitted a joyful chirp, and then like a sunflower, it wrapped the soul body from all directions, forming a ghost fire to refine it.
Roar - Burned by the ghostly fire, the soul body let out a horrifying howl and rushed around in the spiritual barrier, trying hard to hit it out.
But after all, it was just a soul without cultivation. It was assimilated by spiritual power in a short breath, and in the end, only a wisp of green smoke was left, and then it disappeared.
After refining the soul, his spiritual power floated back to Qin Shi's mind with satisfaction. At that moment, Qin Shi felt the sunspots were clear, and a very comfortable feeling filled his head.
Click!
Immediately, cracks appeared in the sea of consciousness that had been imprisoned for a long time after a soul body entered. Seeing the crack, Qin Shi was overjoyed: "It really works?"
Since the last time he practiced the Great Relic Art, Qin Shi has not been able to break through the thousand-meter sea of consciousness no matter how he practices the Xuantian Bible. This shows how hard-won this breakthrough is.
In the sea of consciousness, the ancient Xuantian array in the center rotates rapidly. The entrance of the soul makes it active, and the golden light that fills the sky is like an arrow from the Xuan, piercing the soul.
boom!
The soul penetrated, and a wild and vigorous spiritual power burst out, just like the overflowing river tide stirring up thousands of waves in the sea of consciousness. The originally deep-rooted thousand-meter barrier shattered after being impacted by the torrent.
One thousand five hundred meters.
At the moment when the barrier exploded, the empty space of the sea of consciousness directly increased by 500 meters.
Qin Shi's black eyes widened and he said happily: "It's incredible. One soul added a full five hundred meters of consciousness to me?"
"Nonsense, the soul you just refined was a powerful person in the Fourth Heaven Realm and Qitian Realm when you were alive. If you hadn't spent too long in this hellish place, I'm afraid it would have improved even more." The evil demon rolled his eyes.
"Fourth Heaven Realm?"
Although he knew that these souls were extraordinary, Qin Shi couldn't help but take a breath. Not counting old monsters like Zhen Yuan and Fufeng who didn't know their cultivation, the most powerful ones he had ever seen were the second-level blue eagles in the Heaven-Conquering Realm.
For this reason, Qin Shi frowned and said: "How come there are so many powerful souls in this place? If any one of these people here were caught, it would probably be able to shock the Red Flame Empire, right?"
The evil spirit shook his head, indicating that he was unclear.
Puzzled for a hundred times, Qin Shi didn't think about it too much. He couldn't figure it out anyway.
For this reason, he was silent for a while, and then started refining those soul bodies again, and streams of purple spiritual power burst out like thousands of fireflies.
Buzz!
Souls were refined one after another and began to pour into Qin Shi's sea of consciousness. Hundreds of souls were scattered by the golden light of Xuantian Ancient Formation, and gradually turned into spiritual power and were absorbed.
Every time he absorbs it, Qin Shi's sea of consciousness will expand accordingly.
Soon, it reached the two thousand meter range.
Qin Shi could feel that his five senses had made a worthy leap. The pupils in his black eyes flashed with clearly visible golden light, and even the surrounding deep pool as dark as night became bright in his eyes.
But for some reason, Qin Shi's mood would fluctuate inexplicably every time he absorbed a soul, sometimes sad, sometimes angry, making him frown: "What's going on?"
"These are the resentments of the deceased. Use your mental power to wipe them out quickly, otherwise it will affect your cultivation." The evil demon said.
Qin Shi suddenly realized, and immediately launched his spiritual thoughts without hesitation. A wisp of blue smoke rushed into the sea of consciousness, controlling the Xuantian Ancient Formation in the sea of consciousness, and erasing those inexplicable emotions.
After getting rid of the emotions that troubled him, Qin Shi floated in the golden sea of consciousness, bowed to the faded souls and said: "Rest in peace, I will live on for you."
Buzz!
Those souls seemed to understand the communication in the sea of consciousness and really stopped fluctuating.
The spiritual power of the purple halo became active again, and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of souls were diluted by Qin Shi's breath, and a pale golden halo filled the calm deep pool.
But Qin Shi found that the sea of consciousness became more and more difficult every time it expanded. At first, he directly added 500 meters, but then he could only expand by hundreds of meters, and in the end, he only expanded by a few meters.
After all the souls were refined, they only reached three thousand meters. He curled his lips in dissatisfaction and said, "It won't be as fast as expected later on."
"You brat, be satisfied. The sea of consciousness of three thousand meters is almost the same as a five-line Talisman magician. Do you know this is the cultivation level that many Talisman magicians dream of?" Hearing Qin Shi's words, the evil demon was almost angry to death: " I really don’t know how to be satisfied.”
"Well… "
Qin Shi scratched his head in embarrassment and did not respond. He also knew how difficult it was to increase the cultivation level of the sea of consciousness. He had been stuck for several months before reaching one thousand meters. It was already very good to be able to reach three thousand meters.
I am afraid that in the entire Red Flame Empire, there will be no more than five fingers that can compare with him.
Buzz!
But at this moment, a violent buzzing sound suddenly sounded, which made Qin Shi frown. He quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw a terrifying soul body rising rapidly.
The demon trembled: "A soul in the ninth level of heaven?"
