After obtaining the spiritual object of the causal system from Meng, Shi Chishang immediately went to the Secret Realm Hall, entered the "Refining Mind Realm" he had selected in advance, and began to refine the clone of the causal system.
However, Shi Chishang never expected that the duration of the catastrophe caused by the causal clone would be much shorter than the dozen or so tribulations in the past, but the degree of danger would be many times greater.
The calamity that directly pointed at the theory of cause and effect subverted logic and distorted cause and effect. Even though Shi Chi Shang had the only constant foundation of the road, he was still almost collapsed by this calamity of cause and effect. He even failed to block the power of the calamity, causing him to rush out of the outside world. It almost affected everyone in the secret realm hall outside.
The reason why he left in a hurry was because Shi Chishang was anxious to stabilize his soul body.
When refining the clone, Shi Chishang will integrate the soul power and true spirit of the original body into the clone. This also leads to the fact that after stripping off all the avenues, Shi Chishang's main body will be completely moistened by the soul power and return directly. ordinary people.
However, since he is not a flesh and blood body, he cannot carry the only way to complete liberation without obstacles when he returns to ordinary people, and he does not have enough thoughts to maintain the form of a soul body.
If he hadn't gathered fourteen clones in time to stabilize the soul body, the soul body would have collapsed on the spot and the true spirit would have dispersed.
After hurriedly escaping back to his residence, Shi Chishang hurriedly activated the defensive formation and then ducked into the training room.
As soon as he entered the secret room, his soul began to crack uncontrollably. Fortunately, following his thoughts, the constant arrays arranged in the room in advance were activated immediately, and the layers of talisman formations opened one after another. It turned into eternal light and enveloped him, quickly suppressing his cracking body so that it would no longer be disordered.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shi Chishang united his mind and soul, and his soul consciousness surged, guiding the power of the fourteen clones, and cooperating with the secret chamber formation to continuously impose various restrictions on the body, like pieces of band-aids and strips of cotton. He forcibly mended and glued this shattered soul body together.
It took nearly a month for Shi Chishang to barely complete the repair of the soul body.
It's just that the broken and cracked parts of this soul body that has been re-sewed are in pain all the time, so much so that Shi Chishang will suffer from heart-breaking pain even if he just sits quietly. Severe pain.
Sitting in the secret room, Shi Chi Shang's eyebrows were calm and he seemed to be fine. Only the corners of his eyes that twitched from time to time proved that he was in severe pain all over his body.
At this time, Shi Chishang had no intention of resisting or adapting to the pain. All his attention was completely absorbed in the true spirit.
In the past, he had sensed the existence of something deep in the true spirit several times, but at that time he was very powerful and the true spirit had grown stronger and stronger, so he was still unable to penetrate into the depth of the true spirit.
Now, as he continues to split the true spirit to refine clones, the true spirit itself is actually constantly weakening. Until he regains his mortal body, his thoughts are finally unhindered and he successfully penetrates the entire true spirit.
It was precisely because of this that he finally saw the mirror hidden in the deepest part of the true spirit!
It was a round mirror with a simple shape, no patterns or carvings. It looked unremarkable at first glance, but it was only when Shi Chishang truly sensed the existence of this mirror that the simple round mirror, which was no more than the size of a finger, was in his soul consciousness. It is as high as the sky, as wide as the vast sea, boundless, and transcendent to heaven and earth. No matter how many things there are in the world, they are just a shadow in the mirror, like flowers in the mirror, water in the moon, and not worth mentioning.
At that time, Chi Shang's thoughts touched the round mirror and he felt the aura of "everything in the world is but a shadow in the mirror". His whole person seemed to have an epiphany. His mind was empty and his thoughts were powerful. The understanding of truth and other avenues continues to deepen.
Quietly, the authority of "The One" increased steadily. In an instant, it had reached two levels in a row, reaching the limit that the Underworld Emperor's rank could reach, level ten!
boom!
The moment the sole authority reached the tenth level, Shi Chi Shang's body experienced another wave of emotions.
He had obviously returned to an ordinary person, but the Tao Yun was flowing in this body composed of souls, spreading with vast soul power, which almost caused his soul body that had finally been repaired to break apart again. He was so horrified that he quickly calmed down and gathered a large amount of seals again. , and then the soul body was stabilized again.
After doing all this, Shi Chi Shang breathed a sigh of relief, and then focused on the round mirror again.
Although limited by the weakness of his body, Shi Chishang's thoughts were far inferior to those at his peak, but when he carefully sensed the round mirror, he had a feeling.
This mirror is definitely not the actual body, but a projection of a higher-level treasure.
When his thoughts entered the round mirror and followed the dark veins to the body behind it, he could only vaguely feel that its body seemed to be in an infinite and vast land.
"Could it be that this is a treasure I used in my previous life?"
Staring at the simple round mirror, Shi Chishang suddenly came up with such an idea, and then silently gathered his thoughts and studied the round mirror with concentration.
This mirror has obviously been in his true spirit for a long time, especially since he started practicing. This mirror must have been passively activated several times secretly, thus losing a lot of energy. Now as he carefully senses it, he can find that this mirror is actually It is already looming, and the energy to maintain the form is already on the verge of exhaustion.
This kind of energy is different from others. It needs to be directly instilled from the main body. Even if Shi Chishang's soul power can imitate all spirits, it cannot replenish energy for this projection.
Therefore, the more significance of this round mirror at this moment is that it is not too late for Chishang to form a connection with the round mirror itself, so that he will have the opportunity to trace the location of the round mirror's body in the future.
*——*——*
One month later.
Pushing open the door and seeing the bright sunshine outside, Shi Chishang couldn't help but stretch, took out his phone and read through other people's messages these days.
At their level, retreat is a common thing, and a retreat may last for several years, so even if he has disappeared for several months, no one pays much attention to him.
Huang Chenyang, Zhu Chaoqun, and Prince Dao, on the other hand, sent a lot of messages, but unfortunately they all came to him to urge him for the elixir. I guess they had almost sold out the inventory on hand, otherwise they wouldn't be so anxious to urge him.
Shi Chishang edited the message asking them to pick up the goods, sent it to everyone, and then walked out of the house slowly.
Within a short time, Prince Dao, Qian Yixin, Qian Yixiao, Hu Zhebin, Zhu Chaoqun, Kong Qixin and others had arrived one after another. They were all his downline distributors and they were already familiar with each other. , there was nothing interesting after meeting, and we started chatting.
Huang Chenyang and Cheng Baihe didn't come. They said they were in retreat. Shi Chishang didn't say anything. He took out basket after basket of elixirs and distributed them to them according to the amount reported before.
"You've been under a lot of pressure lately, haven't you? I heard that you had several conflicts with the Merit Hall!"
While eating melon seeds, Prince Dao looked at Hu Zhebin and the others with a theatrical look on his face.
As geniuses, these people will most likely reach the Hades Emperor level in the future, so Prince Dao doesn't rely on his status much.
Listening to his banter, Hu Zhebin and Qian Yixin both had wry smiles on their faces.
In recent years, the friction between the two factions, the Yu family and the Zhangjiao, has become increasingly fierce.
When the previous headmaster was ambushed by the Cambrian Dynasty, several masters of the Yu family also died along with them. Therefore, the Yu family suffered heavy losses in this battle and had to give up the power of several branches they originally occupied to the new ones. Maojian Peak.
Nowadays, relying on the resources looted from the Blood Red Empire, several elders of the Yu family have successfully gathered in the underworld and become among the giants. Several strong men who were seriously injured in the ambush have finally recovered and come out of seclusion.
As their power gradually grew stronger, the Yu family no longer restrained themselves as it had in previous years, and began to compete for the power of the major branches.
Branches belonging to neutral factions such as the Lianqi Hall, Jiying Hall, and Duzhi Hall were fine, but branches belonging to the head sect such as the Zhanxie Hall and the Criminal Hall were in bad luck.
If you go to the Hall of Merit to report tasks, you will be criticized in various ways, which will reduce the merit points obtained.
If you go to the Secret Realm Hall to redeem Secret Realm tickets, the price will also be temporarily increased.
Of course, the senior leaders of the teaching department are not vegetarians either.
For disciples of the Yu family, the price of elixirs will be doubled.
From time to time, there will be a group of wolves and tigers from the Criminal Hall disciples, staring at the people in the Merit Hall, Night Patrol Hall, and Secret Realm Hall. As long as their behavior is not inappropriate in the slightest, a group of people will be like hyenas seeing blood. They swarmed over him with howls and screams, and took him back to the criminal hall, where he was tortured in various ways.
The only ones who can be regarded as benefiting are the four neutral branches of the Refining Hall, Jiying Hall, Duzhi Hall, and Zhenwen Hall. They are attracted by the two major factions, and they do their best to treat their disciples. benefit.
Shi Chishang has basically been in seclusion these years, so he has no idea that the Yin Yang Sect is now in a mess due to the struggle between the Yu family and the headmaster. Those giants and senior officials are naturally not afraid, but people like Hu Zhebin and The middle and lower class disciples like Zhu Chaoqun were really unlucky to be involved in this kind of factional dispute.
"Don't mention these troublesome things!" Kong Qixin shook his head repeatedly and said with emotion, "Anyway, they are gods fighting, and us mortals suffer. If Soul Flame hadn't been able to earn some merit points here, I would have gone bankrupt."
"Then you have to coax me a little bit," Shi Chishang said with a smile, "or else I'll find someone else to do business with when I get angry!"
A few people were talking and laughing when Qian Yixiao, who had been scrolling through his mobile phone next to him, suddenly made a dignified sound and raised his head and said: "The man who went to catch the bullhead and horseface failed again. He said he was stripped naked and hung on the top of the mountain. Hahahaha, this The bastards who helped Gongdetang are like today, so they always deduct merit points from me!"
"Your gloating can be more obvious!" Hu Lingxi chuckled, took out his mobile phone and took a look at it, and said with a smile, "This time it is Li Jianfeng and Xie Jin, Gongdetang is competing with the bull-headed horse, and they are both third. Isn’t it time? I guess if we continue to struggle, the merit hall will send elders to take action. "
"etc!"
Suddenly, Shi Chishang looked at a few people in astonishment: "What kind of bull-headed and horse-faced face?!"
