Chapter 437: A soul lamp illuminates the past, traces of floating life lock the true soul (two-in-one)
chaos.
nothingness.
There is a chaotic world in front of him. Countless memory points are scattered like flying fireflies. Occasionally, wisps of light shine out from nowhere, revealing a dynamic picture.
This is the memory space of the Heavenly Demon Sect's Golden Pill.
And in such a chaotic space, Lin Chen stood in the void out of thin air, holding a dim yellow soul lamp.
"It's too confusing and scattered..."
Lin Chen looked at the memory spots in the sky in front of him and couldn't help but frown.
After getting the other party's memory light spot, he analyzed it as quickly as possible.
However, due to the other party's inhuman form, chaotic and twisted mental personality, and dissipation after losing self-awareness, this memory space collapsed extremely quickly.
Although it was originally chaotic, it could still form a memory space, but now it has collapsed into the light spots all over the sky.
And he will find useful information in it.
"Trouble, now I feel like I am in a pile of shitty code that is about to crash, looking for the correct part that meets the requirements, and I have to finish it before the program crashes..."
Just thinking about the trouble and difficulty involved, Lin Chen's eyes couldn't help but twitch.
And if it is executed, it will not only be time-consuming, but also a nightmare.
He thought quickly and decided boldly:
"It's impossible to completely plunder the memory. Instead of thinking about how to perfect it, it's better to capture as much as you can!"
Now is not the time to hesitate, otherwise as time goes by and the memory fragments completely dissipate, he will get nothing by then.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen took action directly.
The next moment, the soul lamp in his hand suddenly changed.
As if a gust of wind came from nowhere, the lights became swaying, and in the flickering light, Lin Chen's solemn face flashed across.
He got up and walked in this chaos. An indescribable wave surged out of his body, and along with it, he sang softly:
"The fetal light returns to heaven, the refreshing spirit enters the underworld, the ghost spirit wanders around the world, the seven souls wait for the old master..."
At this moment, an ethereal and mysterious sound resounded through the memory space of this chaotic scene.
The soul lamp in Lin Chen's hand became brighter and brighter. The dim light completely enveloped him, and he became a human-shaped black shadow in the center of the light.
"He came into the world, and returned to the dust. He left traces of the past, and we can find out where he left off..."
As the mantra continued to be recited, countless memory points were thrown into the soul lamp like moths to the flame, causing the latter to burn more vigorously.
At this moment, illusions of light and shadow appeared around Lin Chen, constantly flowing like a movie played in reverse.
This is when he is using the method of consonant soul curse to condense and experience this memory space.
The method of cursing the soul with the same breath is Lin Chen's highest method in the method of cursing. Almost all of his research results related to it have been invested in it.
Not only can the breath be dispersed and the body hidden, but the soul can also be breathed and the memory can be stolen.
Even as he continues to grow stronger and continues to be studied, he will transform into the legendary magical power [Seven Nail Headed Arrows]!
crackling——
After an unknown amount of time, the flame in the soul lamp made a crisp sound, and a vague black shadow appeared in it, while the memory light spots in the surrounding chaotic space had disappeared without a trace.
It's time, the other party's memory has been plundered and preserved, but how much useful information can be obtained depends on his luck.
'May the luck of the original god in my previous life bless me...'
Lin Chen prayed silently in his heart.
Then, with a solemn look on his face, he pinched the magic formula with one hand and shouted softly:
"Where does the soul go? The living calls the dead. When life leaves death, the soul returns!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soul lamp exploded and expanded into a small fireball!
"The soul is back!"
"The soul is back!"
"The soul is back!"
The next moment, it was as if this memory space had a feeling, and there were mighty, overlapping echoes!
As the sound continued to reverberate, the vague portraits around him gradually began to take shape, eventually forming frames of past events in his memory!
The picture was constantly flipping, as if Lin Chen was walking around in it, and the surrounding chaos began to gradually become brighter.
The sky formed above the head, the shadow of the earth appeared under the feet, and there were vague natural scenes and figures beside it.
Finally, Lin Chen came to a world where the scene was a bit illusory, with many distortions and incongruities, but it had an inexplicable sense of reality.
This is the world in memory.
With the help of the same breath soul curse method, he successfully completed the reorganization of his memory!
The next step is to enter the memory, analyze and filter out the useful information!
Lin Chen held the lamp and walked forward. The scene around him began to change, until at a certain critical point, his eyes suddenly went dark.
He carried the lantern into memory.
…
"Today is the day that determines the fate of your life!"
"Whether it's an adult or a dragon, it all depends on today!"
In the darkness, an indifferent and proud voice came.
When Lin Chen regained his vision again, he saw that he was in a small square.
Surrounded by children of about ten years old, in the center of the square were two monks dressed in white, with proud expressions and faint aura fluctuations on their bodies.
What was unique was that there was this dim yellow soul lamp standing just like this in his hand, illuminating the people around him with a dull halo, but no one in the place seemed to be aware of its existence.
"Huh? This is...the other party's memory of detecting spiritual roots?"
Lin Chen felt the information in this memory and couldn't help but sink.
He originally thought that the other party was a member of the Heavenly Demon Sect outside the country and had been replaced by a monk from the Immortal Alliance, but now it seems that the other party is from the Immortal Alliance?
That being the case, why did he learn during the memory confrontation that the other party was a direct descendant of the Heavenly Demon Sect, and why was the core of the Heavenly Demon Sect so casually recruited?
And if that's the case, does the other side have any way to conceal the Great War?
'Watch the end before making a final decision...'
Lin Chen had this idea in his mind and skipped this memory without hesitation.
There was darkness in front of him again, and when it lit up again, he found that he had arrived in a small room.
The room was very narrow, with a low ceiling. There was only one shelf in the entire space, and there were no windows. It was like a closed cage.
"Huh? This is the memory in the fairy city..."
On Lingyuan Island, Lin Chen had already seen the cage-like scene in the fairy city where the monks in the Qi Refining Stage lived.
At this moment, in the other person's memory, he was living here after entering the city.
At this time, Lin Chen, no, to be precise, the Demon Cultist Jin Dan, took out a diary with yellowed footers from under the bed.
He opened it, and densely packed, old handwriting was recorded on it.
"Great, I know so many words, and I can finally write a diary. I want to write down all the records of my spiritual practice. Maybe many years later, it will be the legendary Memoirs of an Immortal!"
"Tomorrow the immortal master will teach us Taoist scriptures, haha, I will become an immortal!"
"The immortal master said that to refine qi, you need to collect a spiritual energy from heaven and earth into the body, combine it with the exercises, and build a foundation of true qi before you can start practicing. Haha, after waiting for so long, I can finally practice. I am here to cultivate immortality! "
"This...why does cultivating immortals cost so much money? Different types of heaven and earth spiritual energy have different prices, and the basis of the true energy they condense is also different. The better the price, the higher the quality...But where can I get so much money in my hand?"
"A small clear spiritual energy requires three hundred spiritual stones, but as a Taoist boy, I only have twenty spiritual stones for one month's labor. That means I can buy the most basic small clear spiritual energy without consuming a single spiritual stone and working for fifteen months." Entering spiritual practice?!"
"Not only that, you need Tongmai Dan to open up your meridians, you need Qi Nourishing Pills to nourish your Dantian, and you need to eat spiritual rice to strengthen your body, and these all require spiritual stones! How can I, a Taoist boy with no background, get so many?!"
"...Damn guy, I still regard him as my master. It turns out that he deducted nearly half of our spiritual stones. No wonder there are so few!"
"...I have finally entered the Qi refining period. I originally thought I could earn more by entering the Immortal City, but in the end I spent more. I don't understand why I earn so much by working hard every month, but in the end I still can't even have a single spirit stone left. "
"The caves with spiritual veins in Immortal City alone cost tens of thousands of spiritual stones, which means I have to practice for more than twenty years before I can afford it, and this is a temporary residence for thirty years..."
Lin Chen was silent for a moment when he saw these handwritings, which reminded him of some bad things.
"No matter where you are, as long as it is rolled up and resources are monopolized, it will be like this..."
He sighed softly in his heart, but then a doubt arose in his heart:
According to the current memory, the other party does not seem to be from the Demon Sect, but should be just an ordinary monk from the Immortal Alliance. Why has his identity changed so much?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and the scene in front of him was rapidly changing under Lin Chen's control.
The diary in front of me was also turning rapidly.
Most of them are complaining about the lack of moonlight, the high prices of things, the cave being too expensive, and the hopeless future...
Until a certain page:
"...Strange, why do I always dream about myself recently? No, to be precise, I always look at another myself through the eyes of others. This feeling is really strange."
"Why do I feel like my memory is getting blurry and I can't even remember what happened yesterday? Is it because I'm too tired from working recently?"
"Why do people keep saying they have seen me in other places recently? Maybe I have been practicing in the spiritual house for a while..."
"No, no, there is definitely something wrong with me... I actually slept for seven whole days, but I didn't feel anything at all. No, no, there is something wrong with me..."
The description in this paragraph suddenly became weird, as if there was some kind of problem with the original owner's memory. The handwriting was black and distorted, and the most important thing was that it had an indescribable feeling of weirdness.
Looking at these diaries in the memory world, Lin Chen couldn't help but ponder in his heart. He always felt that the descriptions and handwriting in front of him seemed familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.
'Strange... This is definitely the first time I've seen the other person's memory, but why do I always feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if I've seen something similar somewhere? Where is it……'
Suddenly, Lin Chen seemed to think of something and couldn't help but pause.
If he remembered correctly, the description in the diary in front of him seemed to be very similar to the last words on the wall that he accidentally saw when he first arrived in Donghai.
The last words left on the wall seemed to be due to the constant loss of memory for some reason, so that even myself was completely forgotten.
The same situation seemed to have happened to the Golden Elixir of the Heavenly Demon Sect in front of him when he was a monk of the Immortal Alliance in the past.
However, the objects caused by the two are, one is the Dead River Sect of the Immortal Alliance, and the other is the Heavenly Demon Sect, the enemy of all creatures in this world.
'...Similar situations, are they coincidences, or are the two colluding together? '
Perhaps in the eyes of other monks, it is very unbelievable for the leader of the righteous path to collude with the forces of the demon sect, but to Lin Chen, it is nothing more than whether the interests have reached that point.
But regarding this matter, Lin Chen just pondered for a moment and shook his head:
'But these are not important. What is important is to find out how to conceal the identity panel detection! '
Lin Chen didn't care whether the two major forces, the immortal and the demonic, criticized the deal. He only cared about his own business.
Judging from the current situation, the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect should have used some means to replace the Immortal Alliance monk, but they were not discovered. This shows that there is a secret hidden in it that has been hidden from the detection of the Heaven-shaking Universe Formation. But why did he not have any clues? discovery?
Is the level of influence too high, or is it... that the vision is different?
'If it doesn't work, then perform deep memory substitution. Of course, there is a risk of losing consciousness in this process, but with the special characteristics of the soul lamp and time travel, I don't believe that the other party's incomplete memory can still affect me! '
After thinking about this, Lin Chen looked solemn and said in a deep voice:
"Here comes the light!"
crackling——
As soon as he finished speaking, the soul lamp floating in his hand suddenly sounded, and the whole world suddenly became dim, leaving only a slightly warm light.
Under the illumination of such lights, Lin Chen gradually felt a chill, a moldy smell filled the air, and even the touch on his hands began to become more real.
He is completely entering the other party's memory to obtain more information.
But this process is not without risks. He will experience the other person's experiences and feelings together. In serious cases, it will completely affect his five senses and cause some serious consequences.
For example, this is like being trapped in a cold storage, obviously not turning on the refrigeration, but freezing to death due to wrong perceptions.
Wrong feelings and perceptions can obscure the self-consciousness of intelligent beings, and the substitution of memories is not without risks.
Even if the substitution is too long and the sinking is too deep, the memory of the dead will be confused with the consciousness of the living, which will lead to an alternative rebirth.
This is the mystery of the soul in this world. Many times things like consciousness, memory, and perception can be used as weapons, or even as a means of reincarnation!
After Lin Chen deeply brought into the other party's memory, with the help of the golden elixir's consciousness and the soul lamp, he successfully saw another scene.
"This, this is my shadow?"
"How did you become like me? Who are you?"
"No, don't kill me!"
"I'll fight you!"
Suddenly, countless weird sounds, like murmurs in a dream but with desperate screams, rang crazily in Lin Chen's ears, and scenes began to flash before his eyes.
First, under the dim light, the shadow behind him suddenly stood up and grabbed his throat...
Another self seemed to be standing in the shadow, as cold as a long-dead corpse, but it stabbed a sharp knife accurately into his heart...
Then, a person who looked exactly like him, with a sneer on his face, bit his neck hard...
crackling——
There was another sudden sound, the weird sight, the crazy murmurs, the strange feeling full of madness and despair that constantly impacted the soul, all disappeared, and what appeared in front of Lin Chen's eyes was only a dim soul lamp.
"I see……"
Lin Chen rubbed his eyebrows, feeling that his mind was really consumed by this memory substitution.
He already knew what happened to the other party through the scenes in his memory.
Just now in the other person's vision, he first saw a vague shadow appearing in the other person's dream at some point.
Then as he fell asleep each night, this shadow began to change and solidify, and finally turned into a figure that was exactly the same as the real body.
After that, the two began to fight continuously in the dream, and the shadow in the dream killed the main body again and again.
As this process continues, the originally stiff and lifeless eyes of the shadow in the dream gradually become agile and possess a strange evil nature.
The result was obvious in the end. As the main body was continuously killed by the shadow in the dream, the real replacement was completed.
In the process, Lin Chen also learned a lot of secrets, and roughly guessed the method of concealing the Heaven-Shaking Universe Formation.
The key lies in dreams.
"It turns out that the true name of the Heaven-Shifting Universe Formation is not only locked on the soul and memory of a monk, but also includes the footprints of life in reality from childhood to adulthood, as well as other people's memories and perceptions of themselves. "
"In other words, the basis for real name locking is the traces of the existence of living beings in the world. To put it simply, it is the 'individual database' or your 'browsing history' on the Internet."
(It is a personality model formed by your personality, habits, hobbies, etc. reflected in your browsing history on the Internet.)
"And only if you meet these, can you be judged as who you are!"
"If you want Li Daitao to be dead and replace the identity of an Immortal Alliance monk without being discovered, the only way at present is to live the same age as the real body in the public dream where the other party is."
"Then steal his memory, perception, living habits and all information, as well as other people's perceptions of him."
"Finally, we use the power of dreams to confuse reality and illusion, so that we can complete the ultimate identity theft, which means completely disguising ourselves, no, becoming another person!"
"The same goes for creating a false identity."
"In a public dreamland, leave your own memories, footprints, and past, and then use the power of dreams to distort reality and reality. Only in this way can you obtain an identity panel."
"In simple terms, it is to sneak false data into the database to deceive the system's detection!"
"And such a method can only be used in dreams, because it is a powerful force that even ancient monks cannot control!"
After discovering this most crucial secret, Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out that the key to locking the true name of the Heaven-Shaking Universe Formation lies in the traces of life, that is, the 'past data' of a person between heaven and earth.
If you want to falsify, you can only create false data and implant it into the real database through a virus.
At first, he was most afraid of things that he didn't know the principles of, because that meant there was no way to carry out targeted research and solutions.
But now that it is known, no matter how difficult it is to solve it, it is only a matter of time.
"So the most important thing now is how to turn the dream into a virus and implant my false data into the database of the Sky-Shifting Universe Formation. It just so happens that the other party has a lot of dream-related technologies, I can take a look... …”
Just when Lin Chen finally figured out the principle and was working on a solution, what he didn't know was that something had changed on Lingyuan Island.
