'Life or death? I'm afraid it may not be real life or death. Cao An had an idea and came closer. He couldn't move the picture of white bones and red lotus. It was hanging above the Shen Nian Pond. The unfolded scroll added a bit more color to the Shen Nian Pond.
But he couldn't close it or move it at all. It seemed to be fixed on it. Just when Cao An was about to walk to Shen Nian Pond and examine the scroll in detail, an invisible repulsive force pushed it out. It was so irresistible that Cao An instinctively felt frightened.
It seemed that he had not felt such an emotion for a long time, but he was experiencing it again in this moment.
boom! !
Everything in front of him was retreating rapidly, probably too fast. In Cao An's eyes, these things retreated in circles. At a certain moment, they suddenly stopped. This time, Cao An looked around blankly. , no, to be precise, it is not seeing, it is a more advanced perception than seeing.
Everything around him was clearly presented in front of him, as if everything around his body was within sight. Only then did Cao An suddenly realize that he was out of his mind! !
He has advanced to the Yin Shen realm. After filling up the White Bones and Red Lotus Diagram, his realm has risen uncontrollably. Below is his physical body, sitting cross-legged, with a majestic appearance, and the world of heaven and earth lingering around his body. The power seems to echo the image of white bones and red lotus in the sea of consciousness. The power of heaven and earth is sometimes as pure as jade, and sometimes as black as ink.
He has an instinctive fear of the Yin God in a strange environment. It is like a rootless tree, floating in the air, floating in the air. Cao Ansheng suppressed these ups and downs of thoughts with his own concentration, and then he had time to take care of himself. I feel that everything around me is still the same, but the difference is that the heaviness has become heavenly and human.
The few people around him were still there, each guarding the position they were responsible for. He wanted to understand how it was different from the previous overflow of souls after he truly emerged from the Yin Shen. He just closed his eyes slightly and everything became clear to him. , just then I realized that the original Yin Shen was not called out at all, because it was still in the body.
What I did before was to levitate out of the body and control the physical body, but the perception and consciousness overflowed the body. It was not a Yin God at all, only now, the real Yin God, the connection with the physical body was almost completely disconnected. , can survive without the physical body, the prerequisite is that it can withstand the wind, fire, thunder and other disasters between heaven and earth.
Without the protection of the treasure body, everything between heaven and earth will become a disaster caused by the gods, a gust of wind, a rain, a sunshine, thunder, fire...
Only after the yin residue has been refined and the yang spirit has been expelled, can the body be separated from the body and live alone. However, in martial arts practice, we have never accepted the idea that the human body is a dirty bag and cumbersome. Even if the yang spirit can be released, the physical body still needs to be in harmony with the yang spirit. Cultivation, the ultimate perfection, takes the path of becoming a saint in the physical body, rather than simply cultivating the Yangshen.
Cao Anfu reached his soul, held the lotus seal in his hand, leaned back to his physical body, and returned to the sea of consciousness. The white bones and red lotus diagram was still beyond his ability to move, but he could use the power within it. A slender hair-like power was stripped out of it, but it was only more than three feet. Long, if scattered, lingering on Cao An's fingertips.
The body that was still sitting upright suddenly opened its eyes, stood up, and shook the robe on his body. At this moment, the terrifying aura had no restrictions and surged out unscrupulously towards the surroundings. For a time, sand and rocks were flying, and his cultivation was like The heavy, evergreen flow of energy throughout the body was only enough to prevent him from kneeling.
Dahuang and Zhang Yunlai had solemn expressions on their faces. They did not use the power in their bodies, but they also felt the power of this oppressive force.
"Congratulations, Master (Part 1)!"
"Congratulations, Master (Brother Cao)!"
Cao An was briefly silent as his strength improved. After a while, all the strange phenomena disappeared, and he returned to his previous appearance, looking around calmly.
"Pack all your things, I have completed my promotion." He could see the Dragon-Tiger Vajra Formation around him at a glance. In addition to the formation, there was also a barrier, but it was suppressed at the moment and did not show up. The trace of black breath on his fingertips was still there, and Cao An wanted to see what it was.
According to his understanding, it should be regarded as the power of 'death'. After all, it was extracted from the white bones, which symbolizes the red lotus. The power in the red lotus should be white when it is extracted, which is the same as the one that lingered in him before. The two spirits around him echo each other.
After Cao An finished speaking, Chang Qing had already walked into the formation. He made a series of seals with both hands and collected all the formation disks. The old dog also raised his hand to collect the barrier. Cao An then walked out. In front of him was a tree with three people. The big trees hugging each other, with the tip of his finger, the breath disappeared into it, leaving not even a trace.
All the power seeped into it, but what was strange was that after this trace of power penetrated into the trunk, the entire tree did not react at all and remained the same as before.
"How could this happen? Even if just a trace of the power of heaven and earth penetrates into it, it is enough to cut it off. Lord, the power in your hands makes even me feel instinctive vigilance and fear. How come there is no reaction at all after entering it? Where are you?" Zhang Yunlai stepped forward. He had already noticed the terror of that power as early as the moment Cao An woke up.
It must be Cao An's field power, but he has never seen similar power before, so he doesn't know what it is.
Before Cao An could speak, Chang Qing over there had already run over with a shocked expression, "No, there are changes, but you didn't notice. It's normal that you didn't notice. Chang is the Evergreen Wood Demon, and he has special knowledge about wood." You haven’t sensed its natural affinity and perception, and everything in its body has slowed down.”
"Slow down?" Cao An repeated Chang Qing's words in a low voice, and suddenly thought of something.
"Tell me specifically what's slowing down."
"Everything inside this tree has slowed down, as if time has been slowed down here, at least twice as slow. That is to say, if this tree could have lived for fifty years, but with the young master, With the injection of breath, its lifespan can reach at least a hundred years. This is just a metaphor. To facilitate understanding, these trees here have grown into such a climate, and it will definitely take more than a hundred years."
Cao An suddenly understood, but there were still too many things he didn't understand, and even he couldn't decide whether it was good or bad. What kind of slowdown is this? If everything is relatively slowed down, then this ability, although incredible, is far inferior to what one imagined, or in other words, this is an unsatisfactory truth.
Everything has slowed down, and the feedback to people is that their reactions, thinking, activities, etc. have all slowed down. Then this slowness is not only useful when facing the enemy, but it is somewhat unsatisfactory for oneself.
Because his original purpose was to achieve immortality in disguise by slowing down interactions within the body, but if immortality meant turning himself into a stone, then what was the point of such immortality...
