Ren Qing carried Tian Daozi's body on his shoulders. As he got closer and closer to the secret passage, the temperature of the body began to slowly rise.
It was not obvious at first, but soon it exceeded the normal body temperature.
This reminded him of the description of "the art of trance", which required using the body as firewood to ignite the spiritual flames in the soul.
Could it be that even putting firewood close to the fire source would cause any abnormalities?
Ren Qing cursed secretly.
At present, he can still bear it, but the power of the divided soul has gradually passed away, which shows that the high temperature emitted by the corpse is damaging to the soul.
The main body quickly used the ability of the twin nightmares to maintain the stability of the split soul, and swallowed all the remaining eyeballs in one breath.
Then he visualized the Eyeless Method and the Taotie Method at the same time. Under such circumstances, he barely stopped the tendency of the soul to collapse.
By the time Ren Qing reached the end of the secret passage, Tiandaozi's body was already a little hot to the touch, and he could smell the burnt smell in his pores.
He couldn't help but throw it out, and the body fell in front of the small temple door.
The corpse was still motionless, but the dark gray skin had a little more blood, as if it was being resurrected.
Ren Qing walked towards the small temple, preparing to tentatively collect the animal pen spell.
But before he got close, the corpse opened its eyes suddenly and stared blankly not far away, like a puppet.
The temple door suddenly opened with a creaking sound.
The mortal statue walked out of it, its movements seemed extremely stiff, and stone powder fell when the joints collided.
The expression of the statue was extremely crazy. It pointed its hands towards the sky and roared inexplicably: "Tao generates Tao, Wuwei Tao..."
"I, Tian Daozi, who are you?"
"I……"
"I am the leader of Wuwei Taoist Temple. I have a total of 7,564 disciples, including 6,413 in the outer sect, 1,071 in the inner sect, and 80 in the core..."
Ren Qing's mouth twitched.
Tian Daozi really went crazy. He seemed to be asking questions, but in fact he was just talking to himself.
Ren Qing even took a few steps back, looking warily at the gushing statue, already considering whether to retreat.
In his opinion, Tian Daozi was probably awakened when the statue was lifted, and he should have fallen into a near-death sleep before.
For a Yang Shen realm monk who has lived for thousands of years, five years is a blink of an eye.
Tiandaozi changed the subject: "I founded the Wuwei Taoist Temple for more than 800 years, spreading spiritual roots in Jingzhou, so that everyone can become an immortal..."
"Why!!!"
“Why is this happening!!!”
The deafening roar put the secret passage in danger of collapsing.
A large number of cracks appeared on the surface of the statue, and pieces continued to fall off.
Fortunately, the talisman has been removed by Ren Qing, otherwise a chain reaction might occur, which would undoubtedly affect the entire Secret Treasure Pavilion.
In Ren Qing's eyes, Tiandao Zi obviously didn't show any momentum, but he felt that something terrible was about to happen.
It was as if the idol was only used to seal it, and now it was revealing its true form.
After a few breaths, the statue turned into a pile of rubble, and dust started to rise again.
The huge shadow was looming under the dust, but Ren Qing couldn't help but tremble all over even if he was extremely far away.
It was not fear in my heart, but an instinctive reaction from the divided soul.
What frightened him the most was the sound of gasping coming from inside the coffin.
It shows that Tian Daozi can also affect the surroundings.
Ren Qing has never seen the alienation get out of control to such an extent, or it may be a drawback caused by practicing the art of entering the gods.
He had the illusion of itching all over his body, but it was only for the separate soul, and neither the main soul nor the main body noticed the situation.
Otherwise, Ren Qing would have had the leisure to stay here and would have escaped from the Wuwei Dojo long ago.
After the dust subsided, Ren Qing managed to see clearly the appearance of Tiandaozi, and immediately retreated towards the secret passage without hesitation.
How to put it, even the word "deformity" cannot be used to summarize Tiandaozi.
Tiandaozi's soul is like an indescribable piece made up of three different creatures, of which the human part is the least.
The torso maintains a human shape, but the characteristics of the Tiandao worm can be seen on the skin, which is similar to the maggots in the pond. It is pale and swollen and can squirm with breathing.
Tiandaozi's head is somewhat like a combination of an ox and a sheep, his cheeks are covered with black hair, and there are two long black horns spiraling outward on the top of his head.
The forehead is still covered with eyeballs, and the pupils are still rotating.
Ren Qing took a breath when he saw this.
Could it be that the animal pen method means that the soul is reborn and transformed into a beast? But if you abandon the body and focus on cultivating the soul, you won't be alienated like this.
Maybe this has something to do with the so-called supreme demon?
No wonder there was no response when the information flow came into contact with the statue, because the soul is the real body of Tiandaozi now.
The degree of alienation of the souls of the jailers who were imprisoned in the stomach was completely insignificant compared to that of Tiandaozi.
Boom...
It’s unclear what the cry is, but it’s definitely not something that a cow or sheep can make, and it’s just eerie to hear it carefully.
Under the influence of the strange noise, the corpse in the coffin suddenly sat up.
The corpse also began to grow hair all over its body, as well as strange horns on its head.
Even the corpse, which was sealed with rivets, was beating the coffin lid with his palms.
Ren Qing retreated to the stairs of the secret passage. Tiandaozi's breath did not catch up, but instead caused silence around the small temple.
Seeing this, he turned around and looked.
I saw Tian Daozi grabbing the corpse and putting it on his body like clothes, but there was an extreme sense of disharmony.
But it is indeed the case. The corpse's appearance is undoubtedly that of an ordinary person, but the soul has been alienated to the point that no similarity can be seen at all.
The soul merged with the corpse, and the surrounding visions suddenly disappeared.
Tian Daozi's expression became confused, as if he had regained some consciousness.
He walked to the coffin and put the resurrected corpse back into it, as if repeating the same action he had done for hundreds of years.
There was respect for life on his face.
The corpse returned to its original appearance, as if everything that had happened before was just an illusion.
But it seemed to prove that the body was just firewood to ignite the soul. Immediately, Tian Daozi's skin began to ulcerate over a large area. It was obvious that the body could not support it for long.
Ren Qing guessed that Tian Daozi left so many physical bodies behind because he foresaw that he would lose his mind in the future and fight against the alienation of his soul.
But now is an opportunity.
Ren Qing sped up and ran towards the small temple. He quickly entered and found the book that had been left beside the table.
He picked up the book, but before he could check it, he found it in a prison in his belly.
Just when Ren Qinggang wanted the separated soul to return to its original form, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the temple door. It was Tiandaozi after the fusion of body and soul.
Tian Daozi was wearing a gray-black Taoist robe. If it weren't for the constant burning blisters all over his body, he would be little different from an ordinary Taoist priest.
"Which temple are you a disciple of?"
He spoke in a gentle voice and behaved like a wise man.
Ren Qing did not answer, the scene of his neck being broken was still vivid in his mind.
He knew that Tian Daozi had gone completely crazy, so he gradually moved away from him.
"Well, you ask Xiao Chenzi to come over. I have something to tell him."
Ren Qing couldn't help but ask: "What's going on?"
"Well……"
Tiandaozi covered his head, and his skull made an overwhelming sound. He tried his best to think about it, and the temperature he radiated became even higher.
Even the surrounding air was distorted.
Ren Qing was ready to return to his true form, but at this moment Tian Daozi stumbled towards the secret passage.
As he walked, he muttered to himself: "Who am I? Why did I say it was too late?"
Ren Qing followed Tian Daozi from a distance and soon arrived outside the Secret Treasure Pavilion.
Tian Daozi looked at the large number of corpses floating in the pool, his face became enlightened, and there was an uncontrollable despair in his eyes.
"What happened? How come Wuwei Taoist Temple has been destroyed..."
Tiandaozi's body was melting visibly like a candle, and at the same time, his soul gradually left his body and became extremely crazy.
The water in the pond was boiling, and the Tiandao insect larvae did not dare to show their heads at all.
Ren Qing decisively took the divided soul back to the main body.
Although Tiandaozi is still alive, it is obvious that he can only maintain his remaining sanity through his own body, without any possibility of communication.
Ren Qing opened his eyes.
Wuwei Dojo cannot be entered for the time being, at least until Tian Daozi falls into silence again, otherwise, no matter how many souls he shares, it will be in vain.
He closed his eyes and rested for a moment, then took out the trance technique from the prison in his belly.
Ren Qing first looked through the secret book. The content recorded in it was relatively ordinary and could not be seen to be different from other spells.
On the last page of the book, I found Tiandaozi's handwriting, but it didn't have the style of writing on the coffin lid. Instead, it looked like a child's scribbling.
It shows that Tian Daozi was mentally abnormal at that time.
"It's all lies, I'm going crazy!"
“Never practice, don’t practice!!”
"Am I crazy, or is the world crazy?"
"Tons of voices in my head!!!"
Ren Qing stared at the handwriting, and for some reason his back was soaked with sweat, as if he could feel the despair of this Yang Shen realm monk deep into his bones.
Information flows.
[The art of trance was created by the supreme demon. To practice it, you need to use your body as firewood to ignite the spiritual flames of the soul, absorb the remains of the demon, and then abandon your body to refine the soul. 】
[After absorbing the remains of the demon, one's own soul will also permanently lose part of it, which will be used to form the supreme demon. 】
[You can use your own body as firewood to judge the gaze of the supreme demon. 】
Ren Qing frowned tightly.
Could it be that the Supreme Demon is not a monk, but made up of countless soul fragments?
[Can consume five years of life, exempt from price control]
The lifespan consumed by the trance technique is far less than that of the Wuwei Dojo technique, but Ren Qing has no intention of practicing it.
Just giving up the body is already unacceptable to Ren Qing, which is equivalent to rebuilding.
Tiandaozi probably wanted to use the animal pen method to specialize in soul cultivation and escape from the control of the Tiandao Insect, but ended up falling into the control of the demon.
The information flow can exempt the cost of the spell, but it does not mean that it can change the nature of the trance spell. The body will inevitably have to be discarded.
Ren Qing shook his head.
He no longer considered the trance spell, and took out the remaining four spells, intending to check if there were any suitable ones.
The result was an unexpected gain.
