"Fellow Taoist, you and I should communicate with our spiritual consciousness first!"
In the corner of the prison.
Chengshuo sat cross-legged on the ground and said to Huang Ye with his spiritual consciousness: "If you recall carefully now, can you 'see' many memory fragments left in the sea of consciousness of your body?"
"Well, indeed." Huang Ye replied: "It's just that these memories are intermittent, and some are even vague."
"This is normal." Chengshuo explained: "After all, very few people in this world can have a photographic memory. It is not easy to remember the six or seven achievements of what they have experienced."
"Let's not talk about this now."
Chengshuo continued: "We might as well check the memory fragments remaining in each body first. This will also help us figure out what the people in this dungeon have experienced."
"Okay." Huang Ye took the lead and said: "The memory fragments I can see are roughly as follows: The host of my body is named 'Buji'. He was originally a villager in Village No. 163 of the Secret World. Because of unwillingness, Ordinary, I secretly gathered a group of like-minded people to study the way of spiritual practice. After the incident came to light, I was imprisoned in an underground prison by the monks who were derivatives of the fairy world."
"Then there's Daoyouyou."
Huang Ye looked at Chengshuo, who was sitting cross-legged in the corner, and continued to communicate with him with his spiritual consciousness: "According to the memory of the original owner Bu Ji, you are Bu Ji's friend from the same village, with a surname of Zhong and a name. Because you are also unwilling to be ordinary, so Just follow Bu Ji to study the way of cultivation."
"The two of them gathered some young people from the same village and a few people from neighboring villages, and secretly formed a team to study various cultivation techniques."
"Yeah" Chengshuo responded: "The remaining memories in my body named Zhongyi are basically the same as what you said."
He continued Huang Ye's words: "Maybe it's because of the serious pollution in this small secret world. After Buji and Zhongyi pulled out the practice team, they only referred to some words said by the monks who were derivatives of the fairy world, and some Relatively ancient historical documents, and then I successfully cultivated the 'power of emotion' by accident."
"Then."
Chengshuo finally added: "The emotional power that Buji and Zhongyi have cultivated is the emotion of 'sacrifice', which is also the 'power of sacrifice'."
"But because this group of people are working behind closed doors in the village and exploring on their own, almost all of them are still in the early stage of Qi training, and only a handful of them have broken through to the middle stage of Qi training."
In the dungeon.
After Bu Ji woke up, he kept looking thoughtful and remained silent.
A follower asked with concern: "Master Bu, are you okay? Can you still remember who I am?"
"nonsense."
Huang Ye looked at the follower and said calmly: "You are Bu Pei, my cousin. We have played together since childhood. Can I not remember it?"
"That's good." My cousin Bu Pei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought you were under too much mental stress and went completely crazy. Just hope you're fine."
During the conversation between the two, Chengshuo once again used his spiritual consciousness to send a message to Huang Ye: "Fellow Taoist, since you have successfully taken away this body, I will simply take this opportunity to tell you how to devour the original owner of the body. soul."
"That's what I wish for, fellow Taoist, please tell me!" Huang Ye responded hurriedly.
Cheng Huo said: "First of all, after a monk in the transformation stage takes the body, he must first determine the similarity between the soul of the original owner of the body and his own soul."
"That is, 'fit'."
"Generally, the compatibility of souls suitable for devouring must be at least 50%."
"This is actually very demanding."
"Just imagine: It's already very difficult to find someone who looks exactly like you."
"And trying to find a similar soul is countless times more difficult than finding a similar body."
"So monks in the transformation stage often have to search for decades or even hundreds of years in the vast universe to find souls with high compatibility that are suitable for devouring."
"Indeed." After hearing this, Huang Ye's consciousness revealed a trace of helplessness, and he rushed back and said: "I just confirmed: the body I currently occupy, named 'Buji', is not the same as mine. The soul compatibility is only about 11%."
Cheng Sheng said: "If you occupy any body, you can get 11% of the compatibility. You are lucky."
"You know, soul compatibility can be negative."
"As long as the soul of the body that has been taken away has a personality and worldview that conflicts with yours, then the compatibility between the soul and you will most likely be negative."
"I learned it." Huang Ye asked accordingly: "Can I devour and fuse a soul like this with 11% compatibility?"
"It can be swallowed, but it will be thankless." Chenghui Huangye analyzed: "In addition to the inherent compatibility of the body and soul, the monks in the transformation stage who take the body can also complete the last wish left by the original owner of the body, thereby Further improve the fit to a certain extent.”
"When devouring souls, the lower the degree of compatibility, the less the spiritual awareness of monks in the transformation stage will be improved, and the more time and energy will be consumed during fusion."
"Based on my summary and all the information I have collected: souls with a compatibility of less than 30% are not worth devouring, and 30%-50% is considered a break even! And only when the compatibility Only when it reaches more than 50%, devouring souls will become more worthwhile."
Huang Ye nodded slightly.
He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, and then said: "Fellow Taoist, I just took a look: before the original owner of my body died, he left a total of two wishes."
"The first last wish is to stand out in the future, so that all the villagers in Village No. 163, and even the people in the entire secret world, will look at him with admiration."
"As for the second last wish, I hope to break the monopoly of 'cultivation' by monks who are derivatives of the fairy world."
Huang Ye asked for advice on survival: "Do I need to fulfill these last wishes?"
"You can give it a try." Chenghuo said: "The reason why I suggest this is not only to allow fellow Taoists to strengthen their spiritual consciousness, but more importantly, because this is the first time that fellow Taoists have taken another person's body. Devouring souls, so there is no need to care about the specific harvest, just treat it as a training exercise."
"What fellow Taoist said is absolutely true!"
After all, Cheng Sheng is a person who has been here before, a Dzogchen cultivator in the late stage of becoming a god.
Huang Ye only hesitated for a few seconds before decisively accepting the suggestion. At the same time, he rushed to Chenghuo and said, "It's just that this small secret world is a bit weird and there may be too many variables, so I asked fellow Taoists to help me during the process."
"Absolutely."
Chengshuo figured out what they were going to do next: "First of all, don't forget that we came to this small secret world to find out how the derivative 'spiritual root' came from, and how the indescribable creature was derived. For those who create derivatives, figuring out this secret must be a top priority.”
"On the basis of figuring out this secret, I will try my best to help you fulfill the last wish left by Bu Ji, the original owner of the body."
"Yes," Huang Ye nodded in agreement: "It should be like this, after all, things have priorities."
A person's sea of consciousness is extremely huge.
Even if what the original owners Buji and Zhongyi left behind were only partial memory fragments in their sea of consciousness and were not complete, it still took Huang Ye and Chengshuo nearly half a day to sift out from these memory fragments. Some useful information:
First of all, this small secret world is indeed a secret place used by derivative monks to cultivate 'spiritual roots'.
Just like the Nether.
But the difference from the lower world is that if the 'spiritual root' is compared to a person, then the 'spiritual root' in the secret world is equivalent to the 'spiritual root' in the infancy.
After absorbing enough 'sacrificial emotions', the 'spiritual root' will be sent to the lower world from infancy to growth stage and transplanted into the bodies of the monks in the lower world.
This continues until maturity is reached.
As for where the 'sacrifice emotion' absorbed by the 'spiritual roots' comes from?
It's also clever.
In order to allow the mortals in the small world of the secret realm to take the initiative to make sacrifices for the 'spiritual roots', the derivative monks of the fairy world spread a lie in the small world.
——They claim that all 'spiritual roots' need to be eaten.
The food in the small world of the secret realm is extremely limited, barely enough to feed and clothe all mortals.
Therefore, if mortals want to feed their 'spiritual roots', they must make certain sacrifices, and they must save their share of food rations and allow themselves to endure hunger.
In this way, when mortals feed their 'spiritual roots', they will naturally be able to emit the 'power of sacrifice'.
And not just that.
In order for all mortals to suppress their own desires and would rather starve themselves to feed their 'spiritual roots', the derivative monks have spread another lie in the small world, or it is a trend:
This world has a 'spiritual root assessment' system similar to the ancient imperial examination.
Every year, the derivative monks of the Immortal World will select one thousand people with the best performance in cultivating 'spiritual roots' from the nearly 200,000 young people in the small world, and take them under their disciples to become monks.
And maybe to further stimulate young people.
Those young people who have worked hard to cultivate "thorn balls" and become monks and masters will return to the small world every once in a while after their success to speak out from their own experience.
Over time, the trend of desperately feeding the 'spiritual roots' was formed.
In this world, private practice is strictly prohibited. Learning scientific knowledge and reading the Four Books and Five Classics will be regarded as uneducated.
Only young people who go out to hunt, collect, plant, fish, and continuously obtain food in various ways to feed their 'spiritual roots' every day will be recognized by the people around them and be regarded as 'progressive'.
According to the memory fragments of Buji and Baoyi:
The 'spiritual roots' cultivated by all the young people in the small world were all received from a place called the 'Holy Mountain'.
That's where the 'spiritual roots' come from.
Therefore, to find out the secret of the birth of indescribable derivatives, you need to go to the Holy Mountain.
In the dungeon.
With the help of his spiritual consciousness, Huang Ye analyzed Xiang Chenghuo: "It is definitely unwise to go to the Holy Mountain directly based on strength."
"After all, this small world is full of pollution, and there are indescribable creatures peeking in the dark. In addition, the derivative monks do not have the trait of emotions, so they are not afraid of death at all, and we all cherish our lives very much. So you I am here, and I simply don’t dare to use the power from my body.”
"So we can only find other ways to sneak into the Holy Mountain."
"There are two ways I can think of."
Huang Ye continued: "The first method is to find a way to become the management of Holy Mountain, and then use your position to figure out the mystery of the birth of derivatives."
"This method is not feasible," Cheng Sheng denied: "The two bodies of us who have taken over the body are not only ordinary people with no background, but also have extremely sensitive identities. I am afraid it will be difficult to become a high-level person."
"As for retaking two bodies."
Chengsheng said: "Whether it is my "Insect Dream" technique or other techniques that can take away other people's bodies, they cannot be used multiple times in a short period of time."
"After all, a person's sea of consciousness is too huge. Even a monk in the transformation stage cannot integrate the sea of consciousness of multiple people at the same time in a very short time, or receive the memories of multiple people at the same time. Otherwise, he will lose himself. and even risk falling into madness.”
You really shouldn't stuff other people's memories into your own head.
Huang Ye also knew that there were huge risks in frequently seizing other people's bodies, so he turned to say: "Then we can only choose the second option: you and I might as well go with the flow and continue to pull together the team of practitioners raised by the original owner of the body. More people practice, and then use the countless monks they have trained to force their way into the Holy Mountain."
"It's wonderful!" Chenghuo replied with a smile: "Fellow Taoist and I thought of going there together. It just so happened that I had an entry-level skill called "Xuantian Qi Lian Jue". The practitioner only needs to keep torturing himself. Or you can get started quickly by torturing others. Compared with the technique that the original owner Bu Ji Baoyi randomly figured out, it is many times better, and it is just suitable for the followers around you and me to practice!"
"As for the method of protecting the Tao."
Chengshuo added: "I also have twenty-one layers of "Flesh and Blood Divine Armor" technique. After the practitioner activates it, it can form a layer of nearly invincible flesh and blood armor all over the body. In addition, this technique can also It greatly improves the practitioner’s strength, enabling them to attack and defend!”
"Okay!" Huang Ye was overjoyed when he heard this, and also said: "Then I will pass on my magic sect's secret technique "Without a Trace" to those followers."
"After practicing this technique, the movement speed and dodge ability of the practitioner can be greatly improved. It complements the Taoist friend's "Flesh Divine Armor" to double the power!"
In the dungeon.
After some exchanges, Huang Ye, whose bones were pierced by the iron chain and unable to move, suddenly coughed twice, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the cell.
He spoke slowly: "Actually, during the time I was locked in the cell, I was not depressed. Instead, I was silently thinking about the way to practice."
Huang Ye tapped his knuckles on the chain embedded in his Pipa bone, showing a grinning expression.
He continued: "Because I was tortured by these chains and tortured by pain all day long, during this period, I created a self-cultivation method by creating pain, feeling pain, and absorbing pain."
After saying that, in front of all the followers in the cell, he spread his hands with his palms facing up.
at the same time.
Chengshuo, who was in the corner of the cell, also put his hand on his chest and took out the jade slip with "Xuan Tian Qi Lian Jue" printed on it.
He waved his hand, using a very small amount of the 'power of pain' from his body, and at the same time used his spiritual consciousness to make a clever move.
Under the influence of the 'power of pain', in just a blink of an eye, the jade slip flew into Huang Ye's hands.
Huang Ye didn't talk nonsense, he just scanned the contents of the jade slip with his spiritual consciousness, and then threw the jade slip to one of the followers.
He reminded: "This jade slip is a treasure I got before. It can record everything I think. Then, you only need to put the jade slip on your forehead and you can 'see' me from the sea of consciousness." During this period of time, I created the "Xuan Tian Qi Lian Jue" technique."
"Then, I will demonstrate to you how to practice this technique. I will only demonstrate it once."
In the dungeon.
In front of all his followers, Huang Ye used his hands to pull out the two chains embedded in Pipa's bones very roughly.
In an instant, a strong and extremely strong 'power of pain' was generated from Huang Ye's body surface.
——In order to repair his consciousness, Huang Ye once locked himself in a 'giant blood-red thorn ball' and endured an unknown amount of torture.
So this pain was nothing to him.
Under the watchful eyes of all his followers, Huang Ye started the "Xuan Tian Qi Lian Jue" technique.
As a cultivator in the transformation stage, he naturally had this entry-level technique at his fingertips, and he could absorb all the newly generated 'power of pain' into his body in an instant.
"The wind rises!"
The next second, Huang Ye moved his hand and saw a strong wind forming in front of him.
When monks in the transformation stage take action, even if it is just a mediocre ordinary spell that can generate strong wind, it is far more than a group of monks in the refining stage can withstand.
At this moment, all the followers in the dungeon were blown to the ground by the strong wind.
