Back to normal?
In the cave.
Seeing the Foundation Establishment Stage monk disemboweling the unconscious Golden Core Stage monk and taking out his 'spiritual root', Cheng Sheng and Huang Ye glanced at each other in unison.
The two of them continued to hide aside and observe silently, relying on the 'refraction' magic they had used and the concealment of Huang Ye's consciousness.
The foundation-building monk who was performing the 'spiritual root extraction' operation for the golden elixir-level monks was obviously not the first time he had done such a thing.
After taking out the 'spiritual root', the foundation-building monk skillfully sutured the wound of the golden elixir stage monk and stopped the bleeding.
Although the medical conditions in this cave and the medical skills of the foundation-building monks are far inferior to planets dominated by technological civilization.
But the golden elixir stage monks themselves have extremely strong self-healing ability.
So after a simple bandage, the other party gradually turned from being seriously injured and dying to being in danger.
at the same time.
Maybe it's because of the loss of 'spiritual roots'.
As time went by, the cultivation level of the unconscious Golden Core monk began to decline at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just about a quarter of an hour, this person's cultivation level had dropped from the original early stage of Jindan to the middle stage of foundation building.
Seeing the decline in the cultivation level of the Golden elixir monk, the monk who performed the operation not only did not show any panic, but said with relief: "Finally we have passed the dangerous period. Moreover, this brother's cultivation level has actually improved after he was given the 'spiritual root' It has only fallen to the middle stage of foundation building. As a result, it is estimated that it will not be long before we can cultivate back to the golden elixir stage."
In the cave.
Chengshuo and Huang Ye were still watching.
After about an hour of this appointment, the monk who had been given the 'spiritual root' slowly woke up.
"I"
The monk seemed to have noticed that the 'spiritual root' in his body had been taken away, and his first words after waking up were: "Am I back to normal?"
"Um,"
The foundation-building monk who performed the operation replied: "Three days ago, when you were chasing us normal monks, you were accidentally captured alive by our people. After that, we helped you perform the operation to remove the 'spiritual root', so that You are completely free from the control of the 'spiritual root'."
"Now you are no longer affected by the 'spiritual root'."
From the conversation between the two monks, Cheng Sheng and Huang Ye could easily see that monks who have had their 'spiritual roots' transplanted into their bodies seem to be controlled by their 'spiritual roots' to a certain extent.
After coming to this conclusion, Cheng Sheng quickly had a doubt in his mind.
He emerged from hiding and asked openly: "Speaking of which, many of us monks in the lower world have been transplanted with 'spiritual roots', but judging from their mental state, it seems that they have not been transplanted." Controlled by the 'spiritual root', so the 'spiritual root' surgery that fellow Taoist just mentioned, as well as getting rid of the control of the 'spiritual root', what exactly are these?"
"Who?!" The foundation-building monk in charge of the operation was shocked when he heard the voice of survival.
He looked around hurriedly.
Seeing Cheng Huo looking at him with a smile on his face, he seemed relieved and said with a relaxed expression: "It turns out he is a normal person, fellow Taoist, you almost scared me to death."
"Normal person?" Chengshuo was stunned when he heard this: "How do you say that? Why do you say I am a normal person when you see me?"
The foundation-building monk explained: "Because the derivative monks controlled by the 'spiritual root' cannot make the expression 'laughing'."
"In other words, although the Derivatives cultivator can smile, he only controls the facial muscles to force the flesh on his face into a 'smiling face'. It is a superficial smile but not a smile, and it is not from the heart, so it is easy to Can be seen."
Derivative monk?
This name is quite appropriate.
Chengshuo captured the key information in the other party's words and confirmed: "So you call the monks who are controlled by the 'spiritual root' derivative monks? And then you call the monks who are free from the control of the 'spiritual root' normal." Monk?"
The foundation-building monk is also a smart person.
Seeing Cheng Huo ask this question, he immediately reacted and asked: "How come fellow Taoist don't even know these common senses? Could it be that he just ascended from the lower world? Fellow Taoist, no, senior, so the senior is called Nascent Soul stage Monk?"
After saying that, he looked at Huang Ye next to Cheng Huo and asked again: "Is this senior also a Nascent Soul monk who has just ascended from the lower world?"
The monks in the lower world only need to practice to the Nascent Soul stage before they can ascend to the fairy world.
This is common sense.
Therefore, the Foundation-Building Stage monk who was responsible for the operation assumed that the two people from the lower world, Chenghuo and Huang Ye, had attained the Nascent Soul Stage cultivation level.
After realizing that the two survivors were monks from the lower world, the foundation-building monk in charge of the operation explained to them: "The two seniors did not know that the monks who had transplanted the 'spiritual roots' of the fairy world could not see anything when they were in the lower world." It’s obvious that his mental state is basically the same as that of a normal person.”
"But once the transplanted 'spiritual root' ascends to the fairy world, the transplanted person's mental state will gradually and subtly be affected by the 'spiritual root' from the moment they ascend."
"If this continues for about a month, the 'spiritual roots' will completely form a symbiotic relationship with the monks in the body."
"The specific manifestation is that after forming a symbiotic relationship, the monks will gradually lose the various emotions that humans should have, such as joy, anger, sorrow, fear and pain."
Chengshuo nodded.
He filtered out the key words in the words of the foundation-building monk: "So the so-called 'spiritual roots' produced in the fairy world have no abnormality in the lower world, but once they come to the fairy world, they become extremely active and can even affect To the mind of a monk who has been transplanted with 'spiritual roots'?"
"Yes." The foundation-building monk nodded and replied, "That's what it means."
"Then I want to see how the 'spiritual root' becomes active after it comes to the fairy world."
After learning that the 'spiritual roots' were different in the lower world and the fairy world, Cheng Sheng immediately became interested.
He reached into his sleeve and took out a square box about the size of a heart and made of lead alloy.
——Contained in this square box is the purple-black 'spiritual root' that came to life from Xue Haomiao's body.
Just because the lead alloy material can isolate pollution to a certain extent, Cheng Sheng always uses lead alloy square boxes to store the 'spiritual roots'.
In front of Huang Ye and the other five monks in the cave, Chengshuo took out Xue Haomiao's "spiritual root" from the square box and played with it in his hand.
"Senior, be careful!"
Seeing Cheng Huo making such a dangerous move, the operating monk looked nervous and said: "These 'spiritual roots' are actually living things. They can parasitize into the monk's body and affect the monk's thinking to a certain extent. And this influence It’s all subtle, and we normal monks won’t notice it at all!”
"hehe,"
Chengshuo chuckled and ignored the surgical monk's reminder.
He released the spiritual consciousness in his body and wrapped the entire 'spiritual root' in his hand.
A few seconds later, Chengshuo said thoughtfully: "Interesting. I found that the vitality of the 'spiritual root' in my hand is constantly losing. It is withering, or it is gradually dying!"
"Is such that."
The surgical monk explained: "Seniors may not quite understand: In fact, these so-called 'spiritual roots' feed on human beings' 'sacrificial emotions'."
"The emotion of 'sacrifice' does not exist in the fairy world, so all the 'spiritual roots' brought to the fairy world, once exposed to the outside world, will slowly wither and die over time, or in other words, because they cannot be absorbed." Sacrifice your emotions' and starve to death!"
"It seems... it's true!" After being reminded by the operating monk, Chengshuo closed his eyes and felt it for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "There really is no 'sacrifice emotion' in this so-called 'immortal world'! And things like this don't An environment with a 'sacrificial emotion' is extremely unsuitable for the growth of a living creature called 'spiritual root'."
Chengshuo suddenly said: "I finally understand why the monks in the immortal world give 'spiritual roots' to the monks in the lower world."
"Why?" Huang Ye on the side asked.
Chenghuo explained: "There is no 'sacrificing emotion' in the fairy world, so even if the 'spiritual root' parasitizes into a monk's body, it cannot grow and grow."
"In order to make the 'spiritual roots' continue to grow stronger, the monks from the fairy world sent the 'spiritual roots' to the lower world and asked the monks from the lower world to nurture them."
"The newly born 'spiritual root' only has the initial cultivation level of Qi training."
"But after being cultivated by the monks in the lower realm, you can advance all the way to the foundation building stage, the golden elixir stage and even the Nascent Soul stage."
"In the end, these 'spiritual roots' cultivated by monks will generally have two endings."
Cheng Huo talked eloquently: "The first result is that when the monks in the lower world are cultivating their 'spiritual roots', they will end up in the foundation building stage or the golden elixir stage, until their life span is exhausted and they die of old age."
"Finally, the 'spiritual roots' in the bodies of these dead monks will be recovered by the immortal monks and re-transplanted into the bodies of the immortal monks or mortals."
"And because the 'spiritual roots' will be more active in the fairy world, the 'spiritual roots' that are re-transplanted into humans in the fairy world will form a symbiotic relationship with humans."
"As for the second result, the monks in the lower world will practice all the way to the Nascent Soul stage based on their talents, and finally ascend to the fairy world."
"After arriving in the fairy world, the 'spiritual roots' in the monk's body will become more active and affect the host's thinking."
"In this way, the Nascent Soul stage monks who ascend to the immortal world will directly form a symbiotic relationship with the 'spiritual root' and become derivative monks."
Chengshuo finally concluded: "The above is the entire process of the continuation of the so-called derivative monks, or the living creature 'spiritual root', and their race!"
"This" Huang Ye sighed after listening to what finished the job said: "Send the 'spiritual roots' to the lower world for cultivation, and then take them back to the fairy world when they grow up and mature, making them one of the new members of the ethnic group. This is the so-called 'spiritual root' in the fairy world." ’, it’s really incredible that we humans can reproduce and grow in this unique way!”
"There is no need to make a fuss." Chengsheng said without changing his expression: "Similar parasitic and symbiotic relationships can be said to be common in nature, but this time it is our turn, so it is inevitable that we will feel a little bit Outrageous.”
"Then the problem arises."
After Huang Ye thought about it carefully, he asked in confusion: "Why do those 'spiritual roots' only become active in the fairy world, but are just as dead in the lower world?"
"Since there are a lot of 'sacrificial emotions' in the lower world, which is more suitable for the survival of 'spiritual roots', why do the 'spiritual roots' bother to do more and only raise cubs in the lower world, and then live in the fairy world after they mature?"
"Because there are indescribable creatures in the lower world." Chengshuo replied: "If I guessed correctly, the so-called 'spiritual roots' on Bai Qiuxing, which are derivatives of indescribable creatures, are extremely rare and have self-awareness. They rebelled. Yes, you have betrayed your master in an unspeakable way!"
"Rebellion?"
Unlike Cheng Xing, Huang Ye is still in the early stage of becoming a god and has not yet invaded various planets in the universe.
Having never seen the vastness of the world, he could not understand everything Cheng Huo said.
But Jian Chenghuo explained: "Although I have not personally experienced or seen planets like Bai Qiuxing, which are divided into the immortal world and the human world, I have been fortunate enough to hear about it from others."
"From what I heard, a similar planet is called 'Mountain and Sea Realm'."
"It is said that the Shanhai Realm suffered a great disaster in the past and was polluted by unspeakable creatures. Later, when mankind was in danger, a genius monk named Emperor Tianye appeared in the Shanhai Realm and divided the Shanhai Realm into three different small world."
"Afterwards, Emperor Tianye isolated the contamination of the unspeakable creatures in one of the small worlds, thereby preserving the other two small worlds."
"I think the same thing applies to Bai Qiuxing."
Chenghuo explained: "Perhaps, there were extremely high-level monks on Bai Qiuxing in the past, similar to Emperor Tianye, who single-handedly divided Bai Qiuxing into the human world and the immortal world."
"Then, the human world was used to trap the nameless native creatures on the planet to isolate them from pollution, while the fairy world became a pure land for Bai Qiuxing."
"I understand what you mean." Huang Ye followed Chengshuo's words: "This principle of dividing the planet into two and isolating pollution is actually to remove a certain kind of 'emotional power' on the planet in one go. A small world isolated within it.”
"Take Bai Qiuxing as an example: the senior who split Bai Qiuxing in two isolated all the 'sacrificing emotions' on the planet in the human world."
"In this way, Bai Qiuxing's native indescribable creatures can only stay in the human world. Because the fairy world does not have 'sacrificial emotions' as food, it is not suitable for Bai Qiuxing's indescribable creatures to survive!"
"So there are no indescribable creatures in the fairy world!"
"In other words, nameless creatures will not take the initiative to go to the fairy world!"
"In this way, it creates the conditions for the 'spiritual roots', that is, the derivatives of the indescribable creatures, to betray the indescribable creatures!"
Huang Ye continued his analysis: "After the derivatives 'spiritual roots' were born with self-awareness, in order to avoid the liquidation, or in other words, the pursuit of the unspeakable creatures, they fled to the fairy world to survive in an ignoble way!"
"And this is exactly why the 'spiritual roots' become active in the fairy world!"
"Because they can only stay in the fairy world."
"But in the human world, they will have to pretend to be dead in order to save their lives. Only by entering a state of suspended animation can they avoid the sight of unspeakable creatures!"
"Ha!" Seeing that Huang Ye had followed his words and figured out all the secrets about the 'spiritual root', Chenghuo smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist is also a smart man!"
Huang Ye said matter-of-factly: "After all, I am also a monk at the stage of becoming a god. If I can't even think of these things and can't see them, how could I have practiced all the way to the stage of becoming a god?"
"That's right," Chenghuo replied, and then analyzed the current situation: "Now that we have discovered the source of the derivative 'spiritual root' and the secrets of the monks who are derivatives of the fairy world, it will be relatively difficult to deal with them in the future. It’s much simpler.”
The survival invasion of Bai Qiuxing came to cultivate indescribable biological derivatives.
But now, the indescribable biological derivatives on Bai Qiuxing have actually developed self-awareness through symbiosis with humans.
It can be said that this situation has never been seen or heard of.
For a moment, even he didn't know what to do.
After all, if a derivative of self-consciousness is born like this, it is hard to say whether it can be integrated with the monk's spiritual consciousness and whether it can perform the 'Demon Fusion Breakthrough Technique'.
Now we can only take one step at a time.
In short, even if you can't cultivate indescribable derivatives and fuse them with them, you can get some benefits from the immortal derivative monks, and it's still a worthwhile trip.
