After driving the flying boat, within a quarter of an hour, the majestic giant city came into view.
As the intensity of the war escalates, the stringency of patrols and investigations outside the city has also increased sharply.
Outside the city, there are dozens of patrol teams alone.
Each team has a foundation-building leader, and then is equipped with ten Qi-training realm monks.
Every time you return to the city from outside, you have to go through extremely strict inspections.
And this is just an external investigation.
As far as he knew, within several hundred miles of Jingmen City, with Jingmen City as the center, externally, it was bounded by dozens of outpost camps surrounding Jingmen City, and internally, it was limited to the many logistics camps in the rear. Complete information system.
This system is just like the Internet of Things and the Internet in previous lives, the combination of information and entities.
In this area, the Righteous Alliance basically knows everything about it.
But in this world of immortality, everything is a relationship between spear and shield.
Destruction is always easier than construction.
The world of cultivating immortals has endless magic methods, and there are always all kinds of weird and mysterious artifacts.
Taking the position in this Qi Hall, he has learned a lot.
After many inspections, the flying boat landed outside the city gate. He put the flying boat away and went through another inspection at the city gate before he could enter the city.
Chu Mu first went to the Qi Hall, handed over the task of leading this time, and after telling Xie Zangfeng what happened on the return trip, he rushed back to his residence.
As for the attack on his return trip, he didn't care, and Xie Zangfeng didn't pay too much attention either.
After all, when something happens frequently and is extremely common, it will naturally become indifferent and helpless.
As for Xie Zangfeng, this seems to be the case.
Although every Qitang mission is extremely confidential and usually has guards, anything can happen in the wilderness.
Chu Mu returned to his residence, activated his residence formation, separated the interior, and took out the body of the bloodline foundation-building monk he had killed this time.
The body has been decapitated and the body and head are separated, but the blood that should be surging has been temporarily blocked by him.
He took out several of the monk's storage charms and poured out all the contents. After some selection, his attention focused on one of the jade slips.
"Golden Feather Red Eagle Technique."
His spiritual consciousness penetrated the jade slip, and five simple characters emerged.
Chu Mu pursed his lips and read through it carefully.
The techniques are similar to the fragments of the "Longevity Turtle Spirit Art" that he once obtained. They are both bloodline cultivation techniques.
The only difference is that the Longevity Turtle Spirit Art requires the blood of a tortoise monster, while the Golden Feather Red Eagle Art requires some kind of eagle blood.
The half-human, half-demon appearance of the man with the hooked nose today is called the "Red Eagle True Body" according to the description of the technique.
After transforming into a half-demon state, his speed and physique all increased dramatically.
The wings on the man's back are the most powerful attack method of this technique.
The condensed diamond sword feather can be used to attack, defend, hide and escape.
His skills are quite impressive, and his offensive and defensive methods are also very impressive.
However, the shortcomings of the technique are also huge.
According to the description of the technique, to practice this technique, you must take the essence and blood of monsters and beasts once every other year, and it must also be the essence and blood of birds and monsters. The grade of the essence and blood must also be cultivated with the practitioner. for the same.
In other words, the man's cultivation in the early stage of foundation building must consume the blood essence of a second-level early stage bird monster every year.
Only in this way can the stability of the skill be ensured. Otherwise, according to the description of this skill, the bloodline will riot and completely transform into a... half-demon with no spiritual intelligence!
"The flaw is probably too big..."
Chu Mu was a little surprised, but he also had some understanding. No wonder the man with the hooked nose was chasing after him as if he had killed his father.
Every year, a portion of the essence and blood of the early-stage second-order bird monsters is required. Such consumption, even if it is placed on him, will probably make him breathless.
Second-level spiritual materials are easy to find, but the essence and blood of a second-level monster means the death of a second-level monster, and it must be a bird monster, which is simply terrifying!
After flipping through it for a moment, he threw the jade slip directly into the storage ring. The bloodline technique with such flaws was tantamount to a road of no return, and walking on it would lead to despair day after day!
And the higher your cultivation level, the more desperate you become!
With his mind wandering, he looked at the corpse in front of him without any courtesy. His spiritual consciousness directly invaded the corpse, hoping to explore the mystery of blood.
But within a moment, he seemed to notice something and immediately took back his consciousness.
"impossible!"
He actually exclaimed, full of horror.
He remembered clearly that the man's soul was completely wiped out after he cut his head with the sword.
What he put into the storage ring was indeed a corpse.
And now, the corpse is... alive?
You must know that this is the corpse of a foundation-building monk. It is a body that has gone through thirteen levels of Qi training and foundation-building transformation, and has become an otherworldly body.
This is not the weak body of a secular mortal. It is impossible for a mortal corpse to be resurrected and turned into a corpse as soon as it is corroded by alien energy.
Even if they are resurrected from the dead and transformed into zombies, infernal zombies, evil zombies, etc., they must either have undergone special refining, or have some kind of heavenly and earthly treasure, or an extremely special environment.
But firstly, he has no refining, secondly, he does not have any special environment, and he does not have any natural materials or earthly treasures...
How could a corpse, and a corpse that had been beheaded by an owl, be alive?
Chu Mu hesitated a little, and then made a tentative observation. Although the body was beheaded, it was already alive, just like the body of a living dead.
But in the perception of spiritual consciousness, this activity seems to be growing at a rather slow speed, or in other words...reviving?
There was no abnormality in the initial test. He raised his hand to seal the body. The magic spells were placed on the body of the world several times, and the formation was turned around to seal the body.
Immediately afterwards, he summoned Wangcai, who had been arranged by him to adapt to the second level of cultivation in this house for nearly a year.
After all preparations were made, he continued to examine the corpse in depth for abnormalities.
After a moment, Chu Mu withdrew his spiritual consciousness and looked at the corpse with a bit of surprise.
He originally thought that it was extremely difficult to find, but it turned out that after his spiritual consciousness penetrated, the results were extremely clear.
The violent aura belonging to the bloodline of monster beasts is extremely clear in this resurrected body.
There is no doubt that the abnormality comes from this person's monster bloodline!
It seemed that he was the one who was supposed to be dominant. After his soul was extinguished, his instincts belonging to the bloodline of monsters revived and began to invade the body and try to dominate.
"That's not right either..."
Chu Mu murmured to himself. According to common sense, the way a monk cultivates bloodline cultivation must eliminate most of the influence of monsters in the bloodline. Even if there is still some instinct, it will never appear like this after death. , but also a matter of recovery.
Unless, this Golden Feather Red Eagle Technique has no effect on eradicating the existence of the monster bloodline. It is because he has been fighting against monsters all the time that he has to take the blood pressure control of monster essence every year.
So, after the man's soul was completely destroyed, the demonic beast's bloodline... revived?
Chu Mu was thoughtful, but then he rejected this guess again.
After all, the influence of monster blood after transplantation into a human body is still based on human existence.
For example, turning into a half-demon only erodes and obliterates a person's spiritual intelligence, probably turning a normal person into a delirious lunatic, rather than annihilating the soul.
Once the soul is extinguished, the demonic beast bloodline transplanted into the human body and the demonic beast bloodline existing based on human beings are more likely to be extinguished accordingly.
unless……
Unless the monster bloodline transplanted by the hook-nosed man contains a divine soul or a remnant soul...
"The remaining soul..."
Chu Mu frowned, seeming a little more confused.
If this is true, where did the remaining soul come from? How does the remnant soul survive in the body of a foundation-building monk?
Does this remnant soul have consciousness?
What is the relationship between the two?
Symbiosis? Seize the body? parasitic?
