After seizing control of the body with his subjective consciousness and suppressing his instinctive consciousness, Li Xiu discovered that over time, the body's treasure pill actually radiated death energy.
This is because the consistent oppression of instinctive consciousness makes the various organs of the body gradually become numb and devoid of spirituality. It is equivalent to completely becoming a regular machine, or even more vividly, that is, a puppet. After middle age, the organs Various functions of the body begin to decline, and those who cultivate to immortality only delay this phenomenon.
You must know that even though Li Xiu has reached the current stage of cultivation and seems to be very strong, the organs and bones of his body are still very fragile compared to many metals. The reason why people are strong in spiritual practice and gradually have the ability to move mountains and reclaim seas is obviously not relying on the physical body itself. Otherwise, it would be better to replace bones, organs, or even brains. This kind of subject is actually studied by Li Xiu. There have been many experienced experiments in the world. On the contrary, real masters are not artificially created, but rely on self-cultivation and evolution, thus entering the era of starry sky plundering. Human physical fitness and so on have been significantly enhanced, so that they can roam the universe for a long time and conduct plunder. Otherwise, human beings' own problems cannot be solved. Entering the starry sky is seeking death. A small storm, electric explosion, thunderstorm, etc., or a strange microwave wave released will cause the soul to disappear and the body to be shattered into pieces.
Li Xiu therefore abandoned the original concept of control and tried to coexist peacefully between subjective consciousness and instinctive consciousness. This concept was shared by Li Xiu and Li Ruocheng not long ago. In the past nearly half a month, his body was like that of an ordinary person, severely damaged and unable to mobilize any Qi. Li Xiu had no elixir, so he tried many methods and found that this method of peaceful coexistence was the most effective one. . With the body of an ordinary person, he can actually shed his skin and lose his hair and be reborn without any hindrance. His biological age can be as young as about three years old or as old as a teenager. Although he cannot truly achieve rejuvenation in the traditional sense, Li Xiu has opened a new chapter.
Unconsciously, all the injuries were healed. Li Xiu absorbed a large amount of top-quality spiritual stones to restore his skills. Finally, he found that the organs in his body were like a dry river bed. With more than a dozen top-quality spiritual stones, all the spiritual energy had been absorbed by the organs. , within Li Xiu's hundred meridians, there is still no trace of true energy, which means that Li Xiu is still a mortal who has recovered from his injuries. The thoughts of his soul are actually silent in Huangting, and cannot be mobilized.
This discovery made Li Xiu overjoyed.
Practice and practice are more valuable than a word of practice. It is not enough to practice asceticism alone. Action is walking, the principle of flexibility and change. In practice, you are not afraid of encountering confusion. What you are most afraid of is not encountering confusion. Otherwise, it will be like a pool of stagnant water. How can you talk about changes? Without great compassion, there would be no great joy. Without experiencing confusion, there would be no exploration, let alone sudden enlightenment.
Li Xiu's body was already clean. There were no elixirs, no spiritual stones, only three cauldrons. Li Xiu's original pure yang constitution had a strong repair ability, not to mention the current dual yang constitution, which has a stronger repair function and can be said to be immune to all diseases. There is no need for any pills, so Li Xiu is not prepared for this. There were originally a lot of spiritual stones, but in order to refine eternal sin, except for the dozen or so top-grade spiritual stones left behind, all the rest were used. Galaxy Tu and Duoduo are currently also supporting the void passage and cannot be used. As for the only remaining three-mouthed cauldron, considering Li Xiu's current state, all his soul thoughts were silent in his body, and he couldn't lift it at all. It was equivalent to nothing.
Li Xiu stood up and stretched. He was not nervous. He was still immersed in the joy brought by the practice just now and whistled in his mouth.
In his joy, he actually forgot to return to his original appearance, which was a middle-aged man with an unshaven beard, only a little over 1.6 meters tall. This change is more complete than the previous deliberate bone deformation by Li Xiu. Even if he encounters the old monster Nascent Soul, he will not be able to see through Li Xiu at all.
Whistling, he wandered out of the ice cave. It was freezing outside, and Li Xiu didn't have the energy to protect his body. Logically speaking, he couldn't withstand it if he was wearing such thin clothes, but Li Xiu felt very comfortable.
However, just as he stepped out of the ice cave, not far away, he suddenly became vigilant. His ears moved, he heard something strange, and feeling the danger, he squatted down suddenly and carefully and quickly hid behind an ice hill not far away.
It was getting late at this time, and it was approaching dusk. Sure enough, in just a moment, in Li Xiu's sight, three small black spots appeared on the ice field, and they were flying towards Li Xiu quickly!
Just hidden.
"Huh?" Li Xiu suddenly realized that he didn't have any skills at the moment. He was like a mortal, but he could detect movements several miles away. This further proved that his three-corpse transformation technique this time was the real way to enter the palace. On the right track, this is a great start.
The thoughts of the soul in Huangting were silent, and Li Xiu could not leave his body. His current cultivation state was very special. He was returning to his roots and was in a certain balance law. Li Xiu could not release his subjective consciousness and could only rely on his own Instinct consciousness, insight into reality and reality. However, instinctive consciousness is most constrained by the rules of heaven and earth. Instinctive consciousness is born in various organs of the body and is subject to the physical framework of earth, water, fire, and wind. It is currently considered the largest cage when Li Xiu is practicing. Of course, it is undeniable that it is also The greatest treasure.
In layman's terms, Li Xiu is currently unable to discern the mysterious things: Chaos generates two qi, the upper clear and the lower turbid, the upper heaven and the lower earth, the clear one is qi, and the turbid one creates things. Qi is not air, but mostly principles in the void; objects are physics, which can be said to be a cage or a boat, ranging from the planet itself to as small as dust protons, etc., are all included in this category. Li Xiu's current practice, which focuses on the three corpses and tempers one's spiritual soul, is not mainstream in traditional practice. The so-called way of heaven is sought after by all living beings, but there is no authentic way of saying it.
More generally speaking, it is the lowest level of physical training and the highest level of spiritual training. This is not unreasonable. Beasts are ignorant all their lives, unable to discern the slightest mystery, and extremely difficult to enlighten. They are the lowest among the lowest. Even if their bodies are naturally powerful and their numbers are extremely large, they cannot change their habits and become reduced to food and leg strength. end. On the other hand, humans or primates, even if their bodies are naturally weak, can, after entering the golden elixir stage, rely on magic weapons to fly to the sky and escape from the earth, gradually change their destiny against the will of heaven, and make judgments!
So Li Xiu can only use stupid methods now. It cannot be said that he can see the movement dozens of miles away by sitting cross-legged on the ground and letting his thoughts go out. Due to physical obstacles, he can only see with his eyes and listen with his ears. Only then can it be fed back to the brain and make corresponding judgments. This is also something that cannot be helped.
He stuck his head out and observed secretly.
I saw three black spots on the ice sheet, miles away, flying by at an extremely fast speed, and they were close in only a dozen breaths.
The clothes these three people wear are a bit like official uniforms, but not like them. They look like officials but not official, and they look like opera singers. They are very exaggerated. Not only are they not very majestic, but they are a bit nondescript.
When flying by, the rabbit rises and the falcon falls, which shows that the soul has not left the body. Otherwise, if the soul is used to take up the physical body, it can ignore the gravity of the earth, shrink to an inch, or fly into the sky. As long as the soul is strong, it can Flying through the air can only be achieved by those who have broken through the golden elixir and entered the spiritual silence period. These three people were obviously in the spiritual stage. Li Xiu could see through it at a glance. His cultivation level was there after all. Although he could not use his skills and spiritual thoughts this time, he could see through the true nature of many things with his eyesight alone. .
I saw the three people flying no more than three feet high and no more than ten feet away. When they fell, they did not touch the ground. There was no cyclone under their feet, but they were like swallows, flying across the ice field.
"Weird!" Li Xiu frowned.
How on earth do these three people manage to avoid releasing their true energy and not leaving their body, yet still turn the true energy in their feet faster than the masters of the late Jindan period? Li Xiu couldn't figure out what kind of technique this was for a moment.
As he approached, Li Xiu became alert and retracted his protruding head.
The three people seemed to have noticed something and immediately rushed towards Li Xiu. One of them said: "The smell of strangers seems to be here!"
It turned out that they discovered the ice cave where Li Xiu had hidden before. Li Xiu healed his injuries in it and gained a lot. They forgot to deal with the scene for a while, but they didn't expect that these three people were smarter than a dog's nose.
"This man is injured and can't run far. However, we have to rush back to deliver our errands. We can't afford to delay. Let's go!" came another voice. After a while, the three of them rushed away without leaving any trace.
Li Xiu looked at the direction in which they disappeared, thinking thoughtfully. However, before he could leave the place, his heart beat violently, and at the same time, a burst of wind suddenly sounded in the air.
"It's a flying sword!" Li Xiu made a judgment at the first moment, already guessing that the three people had not gone far just now, but they were just pretending to leave, controlling the magic weapon in the distance, and waiting for him to show up. This move turned back the carbine.
He made an immediate prediction and rolled on the ground. He turned around and struck the flying sword with one palm, relying solely on the original power of the physical treasure pill. He missed his aim. The flying sword came with great force and hit the ground. After blasting out a hole in the ice, Li Xiu turned around and left without even looking at it!
With this palm, Li Xiu's palm was almost cut. It seems that no matter how strong the physical body is, even if it is far stronger than gold and iron, it is still incomparable to many metals, especially metals that are refined into magic weapons. Even with Li Xiu's own cultivation level You can ignore the properties of many magic weapons. With the magic weapon itself, it is not that difficult to kill Li Xiu until now.
"Still trying to escape? It's just a dream! Fall down!"
As soon as he turned around, a cold voice suddenly came from the darkness. Before Li Xiu could react, a red light suddenly appeared and shot toward Li Xiu's eyebrows.
This is a Horcrux.
As soon as the word "fall" came out, Li Xiu's eyes turned white and he fell straight to the ground, twitching a few times and losing all breath.
Two people appeared in the darkness, two of the three who had left not long ago.
"How can you be called a master after just two moments?" said a voice, and at the same time, he waved his hand and took back the Horcrux that was inserted into the ancestral orifice between Li Xiu's eyebrows. It was an awl-like thing.
Another voice said: "Although eldest brother has not taken action, if you and I join forces, I am afraid that there are not many people in this world who can escape attack and death. I think this person has an ordinary appearance and no aura on his body. He is obviously a mortal body." , I have reached middle age, and I have perfected my clumsy skills. I was able to deflect my flying sword at the right time. I am considered a person. Unfortunately, I don’t know the heights of the sky. I dare to break into the restricted area. No matter how stupid my skills are, it doesn’t matter. What’s more, when I meet someone Let’s! It’s bad luck for him!”
"It's still the same as before, pierce his bones and hang him on the mountain. If something with no eyes comes to our territory, we will retreat! After all, we may have to stay in the Holy City for a long time this time. , we can’t let any trouble happen in the base camp!” said the man from before.
"That's a good thing, but what do you think the corpse of such a weak person hanging on the mountain can do? Unless you kill a lord and hang it here, it can deter Baili!" The other person stopped talking and said from his arms. He took out a small bottle and poured a drop of something like black blood on Li Xiu's body. In an instant, Li Xiu's body was like adding water to a hot pot. There was a sizzling sound and white smoke was rising. In an instant, his clothes and flesh were corroded and rotted. .
There was a hint of coldness on the corners of their mouths, and they turned around and quickly disappeared into the night.
"hiss--"
After the two of them were gone, Li Xiu, who was completely breathless, grinned in pain and "alive" again.
