Still alive, this was Wu Gen's first thought after opening his eyes.
Looking around, he saw that everything was quiet and had long since returned to its original state. The mist like a belt slowly flowed in the valley, covering his body like a fur coat. The peaks on three sides of the valley have changed somewhat, and there are a lot of gravels at the foot of the mountains.
After struggling to get up, Wu Gen checked himself and found that his body bones were a little soft, indicating that the fire nature in his body was still there. Stretching out his hands, the black ring on his left hand was still there, but in the palm of his right hand, there was a white flame pattern, which should be the mark brought about by activating the Heart of Light this time.
In addition, it feels like the personal world has suddenly become much larger. The result was that Wu Gen was very hungry, with his heart in front of his back.
Gurgling, the growling in his belly urgently reminded him that it was time to eat.
Just as he was about to stand up, footsteps came from the mist. After a while, Mu Bai pushed through the clouds and appeared in front of Wu Gen, holding a bowl of freshly cooked Tianyan rice and a plate with a golden ginseng-like exotic grass on it.
At this time, Wu Gen was extremely hungry and had already lost control. He grabbed it without regard for etiquette and started eating it directly without using chopsticks. After a bowl of rice and a piece of grass, Wu Gen was still a little hungry.
Normally, Wu Gen would be unbearably hot after eating a little bit of the Yanmi rice that day, but this time he had no reaction at all after eating a bowl of it, which shows how much of a deficit the human world has suffered after the expansion.
Mu Bai glanced at it, then calmly took out a red fruit like a date and placed it in front of Wu Gen. This is the famous red purple fruit on Junshan Mountain. A qi practitioner can go without food for a year after eating one. Even if a martial artist eats it, his skill will be greatly improved. It is unknown whether a martial artist of the fourth realm like Wu Gen can directly break through the realm.
Soon a red fruit entered his stomach, but Wu Gen showed no reaction and still looked at Mu Bai eagerly.
Mu Bai's face trembled slightly, and he warned softly: "Wu Gen, these are great tonics. If you eat too much suddenly, it will be difficult to absorb them all. And you have just woken up and your body is weak, so it is better to take supplements in an orderly manner." Good, so as not to get hurt by the ups and downs."
Wu Gen didn't say anything on his face, but in his heart he complained that the old man was stingy. Fortunately, the hunger in his stomach had eased a little, so he had to bow his hands to Mu Bai, "Thank you, Master Mu, for your help, otherwise my nephew would have died here today." Got married."
Mu Bai waved his hand gently, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Wu Gen, where does the death energy come from?"
Wu Gen was slightly startled, then after thinking about it, he told the truth, "I have been to Dayizhou."
Ever since Mo Zhibi called out the word coffin last time, Wu Gen knew the origin of death energy. But what can we do if we know it? Their levels are too far apart. We can't just go to Dayizhou and lift the coffin board.
Mu Bai was silent for a long time after hearing the words, and after a long time he spoke: "Wu Gen, yesterday in the formation, I transformed the Zhen character into your body. This talisman can suppress the death energy. All you need to do is use the essence and blood from time to time." By supplementing it, you can maintain the power of the talisman. I will teach you how to draw this talisman later, so you can make up for it yourself if something unexpected happens.
Also, in Kuntian Continent, don’t show your death aura at all times, lest... lest you alert the Dengtian Palace. But don't worry, the death energy is hidden in the human body. As long as it is not released, it is the same as the essence energy and cannot be seen by others. "
Wu Gen pondered for a moment, then stood up and gave a solemn salute to Mu Bai, "Senior Mu, please tell me the origin of this death energy. I think senior is quite familiar with this. Could it be that he has seen death energy before."
With a long sigh, Mu Bai waved his hand gently, gesturing for Wu Gen to sit down, "What I said today is the secret of the Heavenly Palace. Just keep it in your mind and don't tell anyone about it.
There was an elder in the Dengtian Temple who had been to Dayizhou when he was young, but unfortunately he was infected with the death energy. Later, when he found that his death energy was difficult to control, he imprisoned himself somewhere with the help of several elders who jointly cast spells.
Although this death energy is powerful, because the cultivation level of the people who enter the Great Relic Continent is not very high, what they can carry is limited, so the amount of death energy is not very large at the beginning.
However, the death energy will gradually increase as a person's cultivation level increases and the essence of the human body is absorbed. Therefore, if it cannot be suppressed early at the beginning, it will become more and more uncontrollable in the end. The town character was passed down from him, so that if someone was struck by death again, there would be a way to deal with it.
In addition, I see that you are carrying a precious treasure of the divine religion, and you can actually emit such pure light, which can fight against the death energy. With the suppressing character, you may be able to suppress the death energy. "
After listening to Mu Bai's words, Wu Gen couldn't help but be a little stunned. It turned out that he was not the only one who had been tricked, and there were others who were trapped by the death energy. Suddenly, Wu Gen's mind moved and he pointed at himself, "Since Senior Mu already knows that this junior has death energy in his body and possesses the treasures of the divine religion, why didn't he report it to the Dengtian Palace?"
Mu Bai's face was a little ugly, and he shook his head slightly and said: "Wu Gen, being too smart is not a good thing. Well, let me tell you the truth, this elder is the ancestor of our lineage. Since the ancestor's accident, we Yimai was punished to guard the secret realm here.
I saw the death aura again today, so I also had selfish motives to see if you could completely eliminate the death aura. In addition, this child Yuhao is also very optimistic about you. I don’t want to disappoint her. After all, she and I are the only ones left in this lineage. "
Wu Gen suddenly realized that his family was involved. No wonder Mu Bai would be so helpful.
As he spoke, Mubai drew a rather complicated talisman on the ground, "This is the Zhen character, and it also needs to be matched with the corresponding hand formula. I will go through it with you. If you don't understand it, you can directly raise it."
Looking at the gestures flying up and down, Wu Gen only felt his hands cramping. I don't have much talent in the talisman path. I can work on a blood spirit talisman for so long, let alone such a complicated suppressing talisman.
After trying to draw dozens of times and asking Mu Bai for advice, Wu Gen initially understood how to draw Zhen characters. But if you want to actually draw it, you still need to think a little bit by yourself.
In fact, Mu Bai had already planted the talisman into his body, which was enough to last for quite some time. However, as time goes by, the power of this talisman may slowly disappear, and Wu Gen will have to rely on himself to repair it.
Moreover, this talisman can only suppress the growth of death energy, but it cannot remove the roots. However, Wu Gen was satisfied in his heart. What he feared most now was that after he lost consciousness, the death energy would escape from control of his body and occupy the magpie's nest.
"Wu Gen, although entering the battle this time is full of dangers, you have also benefited a lot. After the collision between the death energy and Xi Guang, the human world has expanded a lot. This also means that if you fight against others in the future, , the power and endurance will be much greater, but the accumulation required to break through the realm will also be more and more." Mu Bai inspected Wu Gen's body and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Wufu cannot rely on external spiritual energy and can only rely on his own accumulation. Wu Gen was blessed with great luck this time. With this opportunity, as long as no major changes occurred and he continued to advance step by step, it is estimated that few people could beat him at the same level, even if he wasted his opponent, he could kill his opponent.
After being praised by Mu Bai, a master of unknown realms, Wu Gen was quite excited and asked tentatively: "Senior Mu, there is one more thing. I am so shy to ask senior for help."
"Oh, tell me."
"I heard that the Heavenly Furnace Body Forging Technique has a way to target the soul. I wonder if I can let you know a thing or two about it. This method is quite important for me." Wu Gen got the formation method to fortify his body this time, so he couldn't help but push his limits a bit.
Anyway, Mu Bai's legs are thick, and it would cost more to gather more wool. It would be better to gather more at once. It will be difficult to have such an opportunity next time.
Mu Bai stroked his beard and shook his head. He didn't expect Wu Gen to be so thick-skinned, "I have heard of this method, but I haven't left here for a long time. If you want her, you should go find your wife."
Wu Gen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Mu Bai obviously didn't want to help directly, but wanted to leave this favor to his apprentice, so that Yu Hao would have room to bargain with him.
Seeing that Wu Gen was slightly disappointed, Mu Bai couldn't help but smile and said: "Don't push too hard, that's all. I'll give you another chance. After your body is replenished, you can go to the bottom of Luoze Lake to quench your fire. It's very cold there, so it's a place for forging weapons." It’s an excellent place, how many opportunities you can get depends on your luck.”
Wu Gen thought. A place where Mu Bai could tell him solemnly would definitely be a good place.
After resting for two days and eating a lot of spiritual plants sent by Yu Hao, Wu Gen followed Mu Bai's instructions and came to Luoze Lake.
The big lake does not have the vastness of ordinary lakes, but it has more of the majesty of the sea. Looking at the blue lake, Wu Gen plunged into it. Thanks to the changes in his personal world, Wu Gen has been able to stay in the water for more time.
The body dives slowly, and strange fish pass by from time to time. It's not that there are big fish that want to prey on Wu Gen, but after receiving a punch, they became the meal of other fish.
The water gets colder and darker the further you go down. It was quiet all around, and the whole world seemed to be dead. You couldn't see up, down, left, right, forward or backward. Only the passing of some luminous fish and shrimps could let Wu Gen know that he was still diving.
Huge pressure came from all directions, and Wu Gen felt like his body was rattling. But according to what Mu Bai said, it would have to be done by finding a luminous stone platform.
He didn't know how long he had been immersed in the water, but even though his body had become much stronger after being tempered by the Heavenly Furnace Formation, Wu Gen still felt that it was a bit too much.
More importantly, it was pitch black here, and Wu Gen didn't know whether he was swimming or just wandering in place.
Just when he was a little disappointed and was about to activate the magic technique to leave, some hazy spots of light appeared faintly under his feet, just like stars reflected in the water, blurry.
Wu Gen refreshed himself and speeded up the river to swim downstream. The water around me became thicker, like ice but not ice, like water but not water, like thick grease. The chill was unstoppable and penetrated into the body, reaching deep into the bone marrow.
A layer of white light-emitting stone platform appeared in front of me. It was unknown how long it was, like crystal and jade, and it suddenly appeared at the bottom of the lake.
It should be here, Wu Gen thought to himself. The body swung and slowly landed on the stone platform. After touching the cold stone platform, Wu Gen nodded slightly, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes and fell into concentration. Even the heartbeat has slowed down, only beating once in a while, and the whole person seems to be dead.
There was no sound everywhere, and in such a quiet place, even time seemed to stop. After some time, Wu Gen opened his eyes slightly.
The dryness in the body has faded away, and the bones that were originally soft are much harder and full of toughness. Nodding with satisfaction, Wu Gen was about to leave. When leaving the stone platform, Wu Gen suddenly discovered that there seemed to be fluorescent dots flashing in the distance, like a torch standing in the water.
