Xu Cheng said after a while: "You don't know until you get lucky."
Li Bochen could see that he was somewhat reluctant. I guess it's because as a Yin soldier, if he asks me something, he can't help but answer. The Yin Fu Emperor Sutra specifically talks about how to refine Yin weapons, and Xu Cheng had practiced it before. Now that he is both a Yin soldier and a spiritual master, he must be even more powerful now that he understands the secrets of this method. Given time, I might not even be able to control myself—if I hadn’t asked this question today.
He jumped down from the roof of the tent and said, "Then tell me what you think."
Xu Cheng sighed: "You don't need to listen to me. I'll tell you all the sutras and you will naturally have some insights."
Xu Cheng said all the nearly 300 words of the scriptures exactly. The Yin Fu Emperor Book that Li Bochen obtained in Zhang Shanjun's cave was already considered the complete book. However, after listening to what Xu Cheng said, he realized that the so-called "complete book" in the past was only a part of the "complete book".
What I gained before was to teach the spirit master how to refine and control Yin soldiers, which also included some changes in formations. If you only train this part to perfection, you may eventually be able to control thousands of Yin soldiers in the Shengshen realm. At this point, people who talk about the world of life, and even spiritual gods, may not be their opponents.
It's just that the Yin spirits needed to do this would not be enough to get even a tenth of them even if they killed everyone in the world. Therefore, Li Boxen was thinking before, did the person who wrote the Emperor's Sutra really go this far? So what's the use if he doesn't do it?
Now that he heard these three hundred words from Xu Cheng, he knew what was going on. Refining Yin soldiers to the realm of living gods - this part may have been added by the person who accidentally obtained this method later. In fact, the Yin Fu Emperor Sutra does not make the practitioner a powerful spiritual master, but allows the practitioner to become a god.
According to his newly obtained things, they are actually "enough" after he refines the Yin soldiers to the Lingzhao realm. The Yin soldiers and the spirit masters cultivate together to the realm of spiritual illumination, and then advance to the "middle third level". The essential difference between the middle third level and the "lower third level" including spiritual enlightenment, nourishing qi, and dragon and tiger is that practitioners of the middle third level can perceive and utilize the luck between heaven and earth.
Spirit masters can inherently sense luck—no matter what their level is. Once you reach the realm of spiritual illumination, this kind of perception becomes more acute than that of ordinary monks.
And why can the spirit master control the Yin soldiers? Because the spirit master borrowed the power of the secret spirit. Although the secret spirit cannot refine the destiny of heaven into a true spirit like the nine supreme demon gods, it can always master it a little bit. This little bit is insignificant to spiritual gods, but it is very significant to people in the living world.
So with such a little luck, the spirit master can restrain the Yin spirit in the living world and make it his own Yin soldier. Once the spirit master and the Yin soldiers have reached the realm of spiritual illumination, they can take advantage of the luck that connects them.
For example, the Yin spirit of the spirit master leaves the body, and then transfers his consciousness into the Yin soldiers. Just now Xu Cheng said that after Zhiyasi died, he used the Yin spirit as a shell to contain the incarnation of luck, which was this method. Using the Yin Soldier as a shell, the spirit master Yin Ling with the luck can transform into it at will, which is equivalent to having several clones at once. There is no need to refine thousands or tens of thousands of Yin soldiers in the Shengshen realm - as long as one reaches this realm and is "pierced", the spirit master himself can use this Yin soldier to roam the world, which is equivalent to his own Yin spirit. Cultivation has reached the realm of spiritual life.
Although even so, the Yin Soldier still cannot be attached to his body, but at this point, who can really defeat the Yin Soldier in the Shengshen Realm controlled by the Spirit Master himself and threaten the main body?
It is extremely difficult for new people to practice Buddhism. It is not just a question of the amount of spiritual power, but also involves the shaping and tempering of the physical body, and one must be careful to prevent going crazy. But there are not so many problems in refining Yin soldiers. As long as there are enough Yin spirits to swallow them, you can move forward.
In this way, there is not only luck in the body, but also Yin soldiers who have cultivated to the highest level. If you really find a place where luck gathers, or if you accidentally obtain a divine position, you can abandon your physical body and truly become a spiritual god - in fact, a stranger can become a god by cultivating to the realm of spiritual illumination. Most of those who belong to the Mountain Lord and the River Lord are Lingzhao, and even Dongxuan is rare. But if you become a god in the realm of living gods, your power will be at least as powerful as a true king, far beyond the comparison of those living spiritual gods.
Li Boxen understood why Xu Cheng was reluctant to speak out this method and had to wait until he asked. If one day he passes through Xu Cheng's body, his own consciousness may be erased again and he will become a complete puppet again.
He thought again of Sui Wujiu's ability that night.
Could it be possible... that he also belongs to the Spirit Master? Or could it be that the Five-Personal Spirit-Shun Treasure-gathering True Monarch disobeyed the Liudu Emperor's orders and attached his luck to Sui Wujiu like a demon? Or is it that all the spirits and gods in the Netherworld have done the same thing... Maybe there will be a war between the demon gods in the living world?
Li Bochen is no longer the layman who knew almost nothing about spiritual practice. It only took a dozen steps from getting the sutra to figuring these things out. At this time, more and more Rakshasa gathered in the west of the camp, but Xu Cheng did not pay attention there, but stared at Li Bochen's face.
Li Bochen knew that Xu Cheng was worried about whether he would really have the idea of using this method to make clones of him and those Yin soldiers.
If he is really just Chunyuan or Beichen's spiritual master, there is no doubt about it - it will happen. It's just a matter of time. At that time, it would be impossible for Fengxue Sword God to challenge the authority of a supreme emperor for the sake of Xu Cheng.
But just now, because he thought of Sui Wujiu's incident, a thought flashed through his mind, and he frowned slightly and thought carefully about the more than 300 words Xu Cheng said. These three hundred words mostly talk about how to use luck to do things. If Li Bochen was only a practitioner in the Dragon and Tiger realm and had not really come into contact with luck, it would be difficult for him to understand its secrets. But now he is not only the spirit master, but also the incarnation of luck, so it is not difficult to refer to these things in detail.
This made him realize that if he used the method taught by this sutra, he seemed to be able to go one step further - since the spirit master can use the Yin soldiers as incarnations, and the devil can also separate the incarnations and attach them to living beings, doesn't that mean …
Li Bochen stopped and stood there for a moment.
Xu Cheng's heart also jumped. Of course, this is just a feeling in the head. In fact, it's not a feeling in his head, because he doesn't have such a thing as a "mind" now. In fact, since the day he was refined into a Yin soldier by Li Boxen, many feelings have become familiar yet strange.
Xu Cheng once had great ambitions and believed that the twelve hours in a day were too short for him, and he had to use some extra of these twelve hours to meet the needs of his physical body. He once thought that if he became a spiritual god one day, he would be able to get rid of these troubles.
As a result, now he is indeed free from these troubles, but he has not become a spiritual god. What made him even more miserable was that his physical needs were gone, but his spiritual needs were still there. For example, he will not be hungry or thirsty, but he still has the desire to eat. Likewise, he still has a fear of "death," or "complete disappearance."
——Now even if the Yin soldiers are controlled by others, they still "exist". But once he was transformed into an incarnation by Li Boxen one day and his mind was wiped out, he would disappear completely. At that time, I will no longer exist in this world, but the world will still function as usual. The world is still roaring like a horse, leaving itself far behind. This fear is greater than the fear of death itself, it is the fear of "existence" and "meaning".
So when he saw Li Bochen's expression at this moment, he couldn't help but said: "...will you use this method?"
He regretted the question as soon as he asked it. Li Bochen is still in the Dragon and Tiger realm, and it will take a long time to advance to the Lingzhao realm where he can barely use this method. He knows this method, and he knows this method himself, so he may not be able to find a solution before that day comes. In fact, the plan he was carrying out in his mind had always been going smoothly. Perhaps before the problem needed to be solved, the person who could create it would no longer be able to pose a threat to him.
But asking this question at this time only made him wary in vain, which was really unwise.
He was about to say something else to divert the topic, but he saw Li Bochen turning his face and saying, "Not necessarily."
Xu Cheng's heart skipped a beat as he felt like he didn't exist, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Boxen said: "The method of refining Yin soldiers actually belongs to the devil's way, and it requires sacrificing many Yin spirits. But the emperor said that he helped me select some Yin spirits of evil people to refine, so I have nothing to say."
After Xu Chengliao heard what he said, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. At the same time, he felt something deep in his consciousness and was slightly throbbing. That's the God of Swords.
So it turns out... the Li Boxen I saw in that world before was indeed not the Li Boxen in the living world. In that realm, that being with the same appearance as Li Boxen is the emperor he calls?
Could it be that the Sword God was right? That emperor was actually very weak, so he took on the appearance of Li Boxen to hide his true identity?
When he thought of this, he saw Li Bochen smile again and said: "Yin Ling is confused and has no spiritual intelligence, but you are spiritually intelligent. If the other nineteen Yin soldiers improve their realm, they will gradually become spiritually intelligent." Go ahead. Erase your intelligence and become your own incarnation. I may not be able to do this kind of thing."
Seeing his smile, Xu Cheng knew that what he said must be true - Li Boxen had a habit of frowning when he was lying and not moving his eyes when he was pretending to smile. When you smile like this and tilt your head slightly, it's usually sincere.
But he couldn't help but said: "You have intelligence and you can't bear it? You have killed many intelligent people."
After saying this, he regretted it. He usually says similar things because he wants to see the person angry. This person's anger means that he has lost control of a matter and can only use anger to cope with the feeling of helplessness and fear. Seeing him like that would make Xu Cheng feel happy, and it would be a little revenge for being killed. But this is not a good time to provoke him.
However, like most of the time, Li Bochen was not angry. Instead, he turned to look at him and said, "It's not a short time since you stayed by my side. Have I ever taken the initiative to harm anyone? You are now my dark soldier. Do things for me. If you don't harm me, I won't harm you. But if you have other thoughts, my answer is 'maybe'."
It's this kind of righteous speech again. Xu Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he also knew that it was difficult to refute his words. Although this person is annoying, he does not take the initiative to harm others... In fact, this is also very annoying. It's not easy to live in this world, but he behaves like this all day long, making him look like he's just like everyone else. Is it amazing? Do you think that everyone is like you, born to be a noble person and blessed with the luck of an emperor?
Xu Cheng snorted in his heart again, paused, and then said: "Okay."
He felt that his expression at this moment could be called moved, but Li Boxen was not overly moved, so he added: "But I have nothing to be afraid of. I'm already dead anyway."
Such a sentence should be in line with his impression in his mind, right?
Sure enough, he saw Li Bochen smile again: "You are self-aware - I have already figured out how to deal with Zhiyasi. Let's start doing things now."
Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment, had he thought about it? What can he do?
"What are you going to do?"
Li Bochen took two more steps and whispered: "The Emperor will help me."
