Tian Xiaoding encountered someone in his sleep who wanted to take away his body. As a result, after he tried his best to resist and Qing'er joined in midway, he almost devoured the other party's soul.
Seeing that something was not going well, the other party quickly knelt down and begged Xiao Ding for mercy, and wanted to recognize Xiao Ding as his master. At this time, his soul was only one-third of its original size.
Xiao Ding and Qing'er worked together to swallow two-thirds of this guy's soul. Not only did the parts of Xiao Ding that had been bitten off by the other party return to their original state, but both his and Qing'er's souls seemed to have grown a little taller. Became much stronger.
It turns out that devouring other people’s souls can strengthen your own soul!
When Xiao Ding saw that the other party was already begging for mercy, he and Qing'er also stopped. After questioning, I found out that this person was a flower monk with the name of Magic Lamp, known as the Magic Lamp Master. Before he became a monk, his lay name was Aladdin. The reason why he is called this is because he is from a minority group with the compound surname Ala, and he has three brothers, Ala Jia, Ala B and Ala B, who are ranked next to Aladdin.
Xiao Ding knew that this Aladdin's lamp had nothing to do with the Aladdin's lamp in Western mythology he had seen on earth before. However, he actually met legendary characters one after another, and he felt a little strange in his heart.
However, the Aladdin's magic lamp repeatedly corrected Xiao Ding, saying that he could call him the magic lamp, or Aladdin, but don't call him Aladdin and the magic lamp together. That is the wrong name.
Xiao Ding smiled and nodded in agreement, and then asked him why he wanted to take away his body. Did he no longer have a physical body?
When Aladdin's magic lamp saw Xiao Ding asking for the reason, he couldn't help but sigh, and then told his past experience.
It turns out that Aladdin was also a human monk on Tiankun Planet. His cultivation once reached the virtual god stage. He had already started practicing before he became a monk. Later, in order to learn a profound Buddhist cultivation technique, he went to Yuanding Temple, a very famous local temple, to become a monk. His master gave him the name of Magic Lamp.
The magic lamp monk has a very good talent for cultivation. He practiced in Yuanding Temple and soon became the best among the same group of disciples. Therefore, the abbot of Yuanding Temple deliberately cultivated him as his successor and passed on Yuanding Temple's temple-preserving skills to him.
However, the reason why Monk Shen Deng became a monk was to obtain this skill. He had no interest in becoming a monk at all. Even at that time, he was already respected as the Magic Lamp Master by pilgrims, but in his heart, he did not like being a monk.
So he often drank alcohol, ate meat, and repeatedly violated the precepts. In the end, he was expelled from Yuanding Temple by the abbot of Yuanding Temple.
Without the constraints of the temple's precepts, this magic lamp has no scruples and no taboos, becoming a veritable flower monk.
Later, the demons on Tiankun Planet began to invade the areas occupied by human monks. The magic lamp monk also participated in the battle against the demons.
However, what he didn't expect was that during a battle between powerful men, a powerful man used a sharp sword to split a crack in the space, and he was also fighting against a demon at that time. Accidentally, he was thrown into the crack by a certain powerful person.
So, the magic lamp came here in a daze.
After he was thrown into the crack, the crack quickly closed again. Therefore, it is no longer possible for him to go back.
At this point in the story, Xiao Ding suddenly interrupted and asked: "Aladdin's Lamp, you said you were also thrown here from the crack in space?"
The magic lamp nodded and replied: "Master, you should call me the magic lamp. I may have been thrown in by a powerful person from the demon clan."
Xiao Ding asked again: "So, this is void?"
The magic lamp replied: "Yes, that's right, this is the void, which is called the Nine Heavens Void."
"Nine Heavens Void?" Xiao Ding looked confused.
"Yes, the void is also divided into many layers. There are thirty-three heavens in total. This is the ninth layer, so it is nine heavens." The magic lamp replied.
"So, each of the thirty-three heavens is different?" Xiao Ding asked curiously.
"Of course, these nine days are where the sun, moon and stars move. Therefore, the sun and moon you see here will feel very close and there are more in number. The other stars are also more numerous than those seen on Tiankun. More, brighter, bigger." The magic lamp replied.
"That's it! I heard that it seems that thousands or even tens of thousands of years have passed since the last war between humans and demons. How come you have stayed here for such a long time?" Xiao Ding continued to ask. .
"It should be more than ten thousand years ago. I can't remember the exact number of years." The magic lamp sighed.
"After staying here for so long, have you never thought about finding a way to return to Tiankun Planet?" Xiao Ding asked.
"Returning to Tiankun Star? It's easier said than done! If you want to return to Tiankun Star, you can only tear the space apart, and if you want to tear apart the space, you must at least reach the cultivation level of the Transformation Stage. I came to When we were here, although we were already at the False God stage, there was no trace of spiritual energy here, and we couldn't continue to practice at all. How could we reach the True Transformation stage?" Shen Deng sighed helplessly.
When Xiao Ding heard this, he felt a chill in his heart. He thought that it was over now. It turns out that the Nine Heavens Void is a place where there is no return. It seems that he may not be able to return to Tiankun Star in this life.
While feeling sad in his heart, Xiao Ding also began to feel some sympathy for the Aladdin's magic lamp. So he continued to ask: "Then what will you do in the future, all these years?"
Just listen to the magic lamp continue to say: "I found that when I arrived in the Nine Heavens Void, I first thought about how to return to Tiankun Star, so I started wandering around in this desert, searching, trying to find a way to return. To the space cracks in Tiankun Star.”
"Then have you found it?" Xiao Ding's curiosity was suddenly aroused again.
"I found three space cracks. However, when I jumped in, I found that the world that the three cracks led to was not Tiankun Planet at all, but other worlds. One of them connected to It is a world of Warcraft. The beasts there are not ordinary monsters, but monsters with demonic nature. They are very ferocious. I almost lost my life when I went there. Fortunately, these three space cracks are all The cracks that have been open for a long time and have not been repaired by anyone are always there and will not close automatically. Only then did I return from the original road without any danger." The magic lamp narrated.
"So, what about the other two cracks? Where do they lead to?" Xiao Ding then asked.
"The other two cracks, one leads to a planet without any species. That planet is just a big rock with no species on it, not even a blade of grass. There is no water source. The remaining crack leads to It is a planet ruled by bugs. On that planet, there are all kinds of bugs everywhere. The big bugs are bigger than pythons, and the small bugs are smaller than rice grains. The bugs flying in the air, the big ones It's bigger than an eagle... After I went there, I didn't dare to show my face, so I just went back the same way." As the magic lamp was telling the story, his figure was trembling, and he seemed to still be afraid.
After hearing this, Xiao Ding found it very strange. He had never been there in person, so he could not understand the fear of the magic lamp. So, he continued to ask: "What happened later, didn't you find any other space cracks?"
"It has taken me hundreds of years to search for these three cracks. There is no spiritual energy in these nine heavens, and even food is very scarce. There is some food stored in my Najie. With my virtual god at that time With a period of cultivation, I can eat once every few months without starving to death. Even so, in the end, all the food I stored was eaten and drank." Shen Deng said sadly.
"Then what happened later? Why didn't you starve to death?" Xiao Ding asked.
"After I ate all the food, it was difficult to find anything to eat in the nine-sky void. In order to survive, I began to devour the magic weapons in my ring." Shen Deng said calmly.
"Swallowing magic weapons? Can magic weapons also be eaten?" Xiao Ding's eyes widened in surprise.
"Of course the magic weapon cannot be eaten, but the magic weapon will contain spiritual energy. After I swallow the magic weapon, I can absorb the spiritual energy contained in it, so that I can continue to live."
"It seems that it's really not easy for you. In order to survive, you even swallowed the magic weapon." Xiao Ding sighed.
"Yes. However, even this can't keep me alive for many years. After about a few hundred years, except for the last treasure, I will have no more magic weapons that I can devour." God. Deng said sadly again.
"Did you save the last treasure?" Xiao Ding asked.
"The master is right, I did keep a hand. This last treasure is a spiritual treasure called a soul-sucking gourd, which can be used to store soul treasures. The reason why I kept it is because I know that even if I devour it, I won’t be able to live for many more years. I keep it because I plan to use it to hold my soul after my physical body dies.”
"Pretending to be a spirit? Don't always call me master. I haven't recognized you as a slave yet." Xiao Ding glanced at the already very weak spirit in front of him and said.
"Master, for so many years, you two are the only humans I have met. I don't know how you came to this nine-sky void. But I know that my soul is about to dissipate. If you don't save me, master , then I will soon be out of my mind." The magic lamp's soul trembled violently, as if it was very anxious.
Xiao Ding was unmoved and said: "So you want to seize my body and occupy my body?"
The magic lamp knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Ding repeatedly, saying: "Master, I was wrong. It was my fault. I shouldn't have coveted your body. Actually..., actually, I, no, I, I had no choice but to do so. !”
At this point, the magic lamp paused for a moment, and then continued: "Back then, after my physical body was destroyed, I put my soul into my soul-containing gourd. And I buried it deep under the sand to prevent Exposed to the scorching sun. Although my soul does not need to eat to survive, it does need spiritual energy to nourish it. However, there is not a trace of spiritual energy in the void of these nine days. As time goes by, my spiritual soul is gradually weakening, although the speed is very slow, but One day it will eventually dissipate. There is no way, I can only nourish the soul by consuming my own cultivation. So, in these tens of thousands of years, I have exhausted all my cultivation, and now There was nothing left to consume, and when I saw that my soul was about to fly away, I happened to meet the master, and therefore I had the desire to seize the house. I'm sorry, master, I was blinded by lard and blinded, but I still hope that the master Don't argue with me, accept me as your slave, and from now on I will serve my master like a cow or a horse."
