Entering the room, Shi Chishang looked around a few times, raised his hand, and the door quietly closed behind him. Countless talismans immediately appeared on the wall, connected in series with each other, and assembled into formations, completely sealing the entire room. Inside.
Nodding with satisfaction, Shi Chishang unfolded his mind again and completely enveloped himself. "Soul Evolution" was originally a technique that focused on cultivating the true spirit. He also practiced the secret technique of breathlessness, coupled with the newly mastered soul path, The combination of the three is enough to cover up all fluctuations in oneself with just thoughts.
After completing these precautionary measures, Shi Chi Shang calmed down, his mind sank into the soul palace, and he observed his soul body.
That day, he tempered his soul body with the water of the Styx, which resulted in countless marks entering his body. Although they were all swallowed up by the Mirror Soul Seal in the end, in fact, the Mirror Soul Seal only retained the Taoist magic contained in it, and All the essence substances belonging to the soul, treasures and rare treasures are integrated into the soul body.
This fusion is far better than the five types of spiritual gold that Shi Chishang tried his best to refine before. It can exist in the Styx River for hundreds of millions of years without being dissolved. It is conceivable that the quality of these essence substances is high. If If it weren't for Shi Chishang's creation of the soul path, the limits of his soul body being infinitely raised, and the assimilation effect of the Mirror Soul Seal and the water of the Styx, his soul body would have been exploded long ago.
But no matter what, after absorbing so much essence material, Shi Chishang's soul body has already reached the peak that can be reached in the body shaping stage. As long as he wants, he can enter the early stage of soul calamity at any time.
And as early as when he broke through to the peak of body shaping, he already had a certain feeling. His soul body seemed to be floating above the soul sea without any involvement, but there was some kind of power that was tightly wrapping around him. The soul body makes it difficult for it to continue to sublimate.
The soul is the true spirit. As a ghost monk, Shi Chishang can be said to feel the same feeling as the soul body. The feeling of entanglement and restraint may seem illusory, but in fact it is real.
At this moment, as Shi Chishang's thoughts changed, his soul trembled slightly. Just when he was about to ascend, a huge pulling force suddenly emerged from all around. In a trance, four chains with different reality and reality appeared around him. , one end is wrapped around his soul body, and the other end is deep into the soul sea, as if using the vastness of the soul sea to forcefully pull the soul body.
The four chains were locked with his mind, and Shi Chishang looked stern. This was what he needed to deal with during the soul calamity stage. Besides the inner demon calamity fire, his biggest enemy was obsession.
When people live in the world, there are always some obsessions, cares, or resentments. If the ghost monks want to completely overcome the soul tribulation period, they must not only survive the burning of the inner demon tribulation fire, but also break away from these. Only the chains transformed by obsession can cut off all shackles, allowing the soul to truly sublimate, break away from the mortal body, and achieve its true form.
Each ghost monk has a different number of chains of obsession, some are more and some are less, but because most ghost monks have extremely violent tempers, under normal circumstances, they will not have less than seven chains, Shi Chi Shang There are only four chains in his body, which is considered to be the reason that he has not suffered too much negative energy erosion and has understood his true intention in advance.
Of his four chains, two are translucent, half hidden and half visible, and two are solid, representing his two deepest obsessions.
"Four, there are more than I expected!"
Shi Chishang chuckled, and his thoughts quietly fell on a translucent chain. As his thoughts completely penetrated into it, countless illusions suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
That was the memory of when he was still in the orphanage!
The past that I once thought I had forgotten, now I saw it again, and only then did I realize that I had never really forgotten it.
Being ostracized, bullied, and robbed of food because of his short stature.
Driven by the care workers in the orphanage, she does menial work day after day.
Countless memories and illusions made Shi Chishang subconsciously immersed in the emotions of his childhood, including unwillingness, anger, sorrow, and... violence that he had to suppress because of his weakness!
Just when the numerous illusions were impacting his soul like a tide, arousing the deepest violence in his heart little by little, a warm breath suddenly surged into his heart.
This warm current seems to be wisps of threads, completely incomparable to the previous violence. However, wherever this warm current passes, whether it is violence or anger, it all disappears, completely unable to stop the spread of the warm current.
The moment he felt the warmth, Shi Chishang also had a smile on his lips. He was his only brother before college and the only source of warmth in his life.
When the last trace of hostility dissipated, Shi Chishang's consciousness returned to his soul. Only then did he realize that there were wisps of flames burning his soul.
The inner demon robs the fire!
This was the second time Shi Chishang had seen the Heart Demon Tribulation Fire. The first time was when Yu Lewei was promoted to the Soul Tribulation Stage. He had visualized it using the Mirror Soul Seal, thus evolving the Soul-Destroying Blue Flame.
However, after thinking about this, Shi Chishang was not in a hurry to dispel his inner demon tribulation fire. Instead, he communicated with the Mirror Soul Seal to manifest the blazing sun celestial body absorbed by it.
In this blazing sun celestial body, Shi Chishang had incorporated various things into it, one of which was the Spiritual Death Cang Yan.
And as the blazing sun celestial body appeared, part of the flame that originally lingered around the soul body seemed to be inspired by something, and actually broke away on its own and floated into the blazing sun.
"It's not enough!" Shi Chi Shang raised his sword eyebrows and concentrated his thoughts. The blazing sun also bloomed with blazing divine light above the head of his soul body, forcefully swallowing the remaining flames inside. Suddenly, the flames above the blazing sun surged, which originated from Shi Chi. The flames of Shang's inner demons were forcibly absorbed by the blazing sun and merged into the power that represented the "sun".
When the blazing sun absorbed all the inner demon calamity fire, it turned into a stream of light and escaped back to the Mirror Soul Seal, and the chain where Shi Chi Shang's thoughts fell before also broke into pieces silently and dissipated. In the soul palace.
Until this moment, Shi Chishang had finally passed the first stage of the inner demon tribulation fire and was firmly in the early stage of the soul tribulation.
At this time, there are still three obsession chains left in his soul palace. Although their degree of virtuality represents the depth of this obsession, before his consciousness is completely immersed in it, even Shi Chishang himself cannot distinguish what those obsessions are. What.
Not in a hurry to continue making breakthroughs, Shi Chishang sat cross-legged and circulated his soul path, becoming familiar with his current state.
*——*——*
The human world.
Half a month has passed since the White Bone Cave accepted disciples, and during this half month, the cultivation world fell into an unprecedented calm, but many people knew that under this calm, there were turbulent waves lurking.
Master Bone killed a Mahayana warrior at Shanhemen with his sword at Baigu Mountain.
Although Master Gu is suspected of having passed away, he accepted Shi Chishang as his disciple before his death. Therefore, according to the theory of debt repayment by master and disciple, Shanhe Sect has no way to deal with Master Bone, so it can only deal with Shi Chishang.
But the strange thing is that for more than half a month, Shanhe Sect showed no signs of tracing Shi Chi Shang's whereabouts, as if they didn't know about it at all.
"How could you not know?"
Deep in a cave filled with bones, an elegant man in a white robe slowly walked up the steps piled with bones, speaking lightly to several young people following him.
"It's precisely because they know that they won't make any big moves." When he reached the top of the steps, the man sat down on a bone chair and smiled calmly, "After all, the Second Palace Master is a traitor to their Shanhe Sect!"
One person wondered: "But, Alliance Leader, although he is a traitor, people outside don't know it! If they don't take revenge on Shi Chi Shang, wouldn't it be a loss to their own face?"
"Haha, do you know how many people the Third Palace Master killed when he rebelled against Shanhe Sect?"
The elegant man spoke in a deep tone and chuckled: "Three hundred and twenty-seven people, almost killed the entire middle level of Shanhe Sect. If it weren't for the orders of the Eastern Tu Royal Family, it would be difficult for Shanhe Sect's masters to come out, and another hall master came forward. Wei Suan blocked the Shanhe Gate, and the Shanhe Gate had already killed the second hall master."
"Master Bone killed the second hall master, which was equivalent to avenging them. Even if the Shanhe Sect was hostile because Shi Chishang joined the Yanhu Purple Sword Sect, they would not cause any more troubles if their grievances were balanced. , after all, knowing that the second hall master is a traitor was not a secret back then!"
Only then did a few people understand, and they all nodded lightly.
"But Shanhe Sect will not take revenge, we will," the elegant man smiled. Although his smile was still gentle, there was a chill in his eyes, "The third hall master died because of him, and now the second hall master has been killed by his master. Besides, the formation was destroyed by Master Bone that day, and most of the cores have fallen into Shi Chishang’s hands at this moment. How can we, the Evil Alliance, not avenge these blood debts!"
"Please give the order, leader!" Several people below clasped their fists and said solemnly.
Waving his hand, the elegant man said calmly: "You are all secret agents of my evil alliance. Don't act rashly. Send a message to the second general and the third general. Aren't their sects all in Jiaxing? Let them find an opportunity to kill you." Chi Shang, take back the core of the formation."
*——*——*
Coincidentally, at the same time, several people were talking about this matter in a stray animal shelter on the outskirts of Jiaxing.
"I sent people to Shanhemen, but Wei Suan just replied, let us rest assured that Shanhemen will not retaliate against Shi Chishang because of this incident."
In the reception room, Yu Hualong, Tang Mu, and Liu Yuwei sat opposite each other. After hearing Yu Hualong's words, Liu Yuwei adjusted his glasses: "Master Yu, you are quite familiar with Wei Suan. Do you have high credibility?"
Yu Hualong smiled: "It depends on what you think."
Liu Yuwei laughed dumbly, nodded and said, "I was stupid for asking."
"Have you ever thought about it?" Tang Mu squinted his eyes and couldn't see the ups and downs of emotions. "If Shanhe Sect really wants to retaliate, it is impossible for there to be no movement at all. At least in the past half month, there has been nothing in Jiaxing." A strong man appears, and even the major intelligence websites have no trace of Shi Chi Shang’s traces.”
"You mean, they really don't want revenge?" Liu Yuwei asked doubtfully, "But is this unreasonable?"
"No!" Shaking his head, Tang Mu said slowly, "What if that person is not from Shanhe Sect?"
Both Yu Hualong and Liu Yuwei were startled. The latter was still confused, but the former had some understanding: "You mean, the person Master Bone killed was not from the Shanhe Sect? No, he clearly showed the Shanhe Sect The secret technique...well, I understand!"
Seeing the astonished look on his face, Tang Mu nodded and said, "There are two possibilities. Either this person secretly learned the Shanhe Sect's technique, but given that Dong Ri Pendant is the secret secret of Shanhe Sect, there is a possibility that he was secretly learned it. Not big, then there is only the second possibility."
"This person used to be a member of the Shanhe Sect, so he knew this move. But for some reasons, he is no longer a member of the Shanhe Sect. To exaggerate, this person is probably a traitor to the Shanhe Sect."
Only then did Liu Yuwei realize: "That's right! That's the only way!"
"Since he is a traitor, Shanhe Sect must have sent people to hunt him down. Since this man is alive and well, his hands are probably stained with the blood of Shanhe Sect masters." Tang Mu pursed his lips, "Master Bone killed this man. It is equivalent to helping Shanhe Sect kill the traitor and avenge the blood, so they would rather be speculated by the outside world and lose face than take revenge on their master."
"I'm relieved now..." Liu Yuwei just breathed a sigh of relief, but Yu Hualong shook his head solemnly: "No! This is even more dangerous."
Liu Yuwei was startled, but before he could ask, Tang Mu had already explained: "Although that person is at the pinnacle of Mahayana, if he wants to escape the pursuit of Shanhemen, it is impossible without the support of the twelfth level, so this person Behind it, there is either a twelfth-level powerhouse, or there is a force with a twelfth-level powerhouse."
His was quite confusing, but fortunately Liu Yuwei also understood it. His heart tightened, and he frowned and said, "Isn't it dangerous to be old?"
"It's very dangerous!" Yu Hualong said solemnly with a stern look on his face, "If there is a level 12 person who keeps watching him, unless I protect him 24 hours a day, as long as he is more than a kilometer away from me, he will die. Danger."
Any cultivator will know the horror of the twelfth level. Tang Mu hesitated and said: "Is there a way to deal with it?"
Yu Hualong was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head gently.
Instantly, Tang Mu and Liu Yuwei both turned pale.
