LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 3: Soul Contemplation
Chen Ming got the benefit, but was also shocked by the tyranny of this secret method.
Such strange means may be classified as evil!
If it is known to others, there may be disaster.
It seems that he should be as careful as possible in the future, and not let others know his origins easily.
Chen Ming's thoughts turned, and the vitality transmitted by the spirit insect into his body continued to cleanse his soul, and he had a faint feeling of breaking through.
"It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. I have to find a secret place to break through again, so as not to cause trouble again!"
With a plan in mind, Chen Ming chanted a spell and took the spirit insect into his body.
With a turn of the magic formula in his hand, a pair of illusory flesh wings grew on his back, and he disappeared with a light flap.
A few months later, in a valley that was rarely visited and extremely quiet.
A bright moon hung high, the moonlight fell, and the breeze blew.
Chen Ming sat upright on a huge rock, with mist looming around him. At first glance, he looked like an immortal who had transcended the world.
But if you look carefully, the huge rock where he sat was covered with dense and ferocious poisonous insects.
The smoke around him was formed by the breath of those poisonous insects.
Chen Ming searched for a long time before he found this secret valley, and then transformed thousands of poisonous insects to guard it, preparing to break through to the visualization realm.
The Qi-inducing realm is just the beginning of the Tao, and the Qi of heaven and earth is mostly used to temper the body and soul. It can only look inward to sense the scenes in the sea of consciousness, and the magic power generated is also shallow.
To perform magic, it often requires many cumbersome rituals, or draw spells and pray, which is very troublesome.
But in the visualization realm, the soul is condensed, transformed into the spirit, sitting in the sea of consciousness, and generating divine thoughts, which is completely different.
The thoughts of the spirit are the guide, the body is the medium, and the visualization of the nature of heaven and earth is wonderful and mysterious. Without the help of external forces, it can display thunder, lightning, true fire and other magical powers.
Ling Yangzi's "Qingmu Poison Gas" was formed by the visualization of the spirit.
In addition, if a catastrophe occurs and the body is destroyed, the soul can also escape from the body and leave a glimmer of hope.
It was also Ling Yangzi's bad luck that he encountered Chen Ming's strange methods, and his soul did not escape, but turned into ashes.
At this time, Chen Ming's body and soul, which had been transformed from the spirit insects devouring Ling Yangzi's soul and body, had reached a bottleneck.
It was only a final step away, the soul would condense, turn into a soul, and fall into the sea of consciousness, and then he could achieve the state of visualization.
According to the records in the classics, this step is a checkpoint.
If the soul fails to condense successfully, the soul will be damaged at best, and the soul will be scattered at worst.
Chen Ming carefully operated the spell, and his mind led the three souls and seven spirits to the sea of consciousness.
I thought it would be extremely difficult, but who knew that it would take only a little urging.
The three souls and seven spirits in the sea of consciousness condensed instantly and turned into a soul that was seven points similar to Chen Ming's body.
As soon as the soul was formed, Chen Ming's heart seemed to have removed a layer of shackles, and he felt something and fell on the lotus platform in the sea of consciousness.
The soul sat on the lotus platform, the mind was born, and the lotus platform also emitted light.
The information about the lotus platform was transmitted to Chen Ming's soul.
It turned out that this lotus platform was called the "creation lotus platform". As long as it was nurtured, it would produce patterns. After falling off, it turned into a spell and evolved into various secret methods.
Moreover, the creation lotus platform also had the miraculous effect of protecting the soul and helping people break through the realm.
The reason why Chen Ming was able to enter the visualization realm so easily was largely because he practiced the secret method of "108,000 insects".
In addition, it was the effect of the creation lotus platform that allowed him to break through without any bottleneck.
"Is this the visualization realm?"
Chen Ming's mind moved, and the soul left the lotus platform in the sea of consciousness and left the body.
Looking at his physical body, Chen Ming felt something in his heart.
If the soul leaves the body and is not nourished by the physical body, it will probably dissipate in a short time.
If the body is destroyed, he must transform into a ghost cultivator as soon as possible, or get another body.
"The soul cannot be easily separated from the sea of consciousness. The body and the soul are interdependent. Neither can be easily abandoned unless it is absolutely necessary!"
Chen Ming's soul fell again and sat on the lotus platform in the sea of consciousness. Only then did he feel at ease.
The soul returned to its place, Chen Ming also opened his eyes and stood up from the boulder.
With a thought, the smoke around him shrank, and thousands of poisonous insects condensed and turned into red spirit insects, falling into his palm.
"Now that I have cultivated to the state of visualization and my soul has returned to its place, you can't put it in the sea of consciousness!"
The spirit insect seemed to understand Chen Ming's words and made a "squeaking" sound.
"Don't worry, I will give you a place to stay!"
After that, Chen Ming took out a black earthenware jar.
This earthenware jar was the magic weapon that fell after Ling Yangzi died.
It is unknown what material Ling Yangzi has integrated into it, which can carry and store the poisonous gas, and after being stimulated by secret methods, it can be turned into a barrier to protect the body.
"There is no other object at the moment, so let's refine this clay pot again and give you a place to live!"
Chen Ming's magic power turned and wrapped the clay pot.
Not long after, the clay pot faded from its black color and turned into an ancient blue-gray color.
Chen Ming did not have any good magic formula for refining magic tools, so he could only change the appearance of the clay pot first, and there was no change in other powers. He could only wait for the opportunity in the future and slowly refine it.
With a wave of his hand, the clay pot flew up and was supported in Chen Ming's left hand.
"Come on!"
The red spirit insect received Chen Ming's summons and flew into the clay pot.
"You hide in this clay pot magic tool, and I will refine another breath of Ling Yangzi's "Qingmu Poison Gas" to cover it up. You can't let others see the truth easily!"
Chen Ming's magic formula turned, and the clay pot in his hand shook, emitting a clear and translucent luster, generating a suction force.
This suction force is generated by the spirit insects in the jar, specifically targeting the soul. Once sucked into the jar, it will be devoured by the spirit insects, transformed into vitality, and fed back to Chen Ming.
The spirit insects hide in the jar, and with the help of the jar's spiritual power, it will not be easily seen through.
"From now on, this magic weapon will be called the "Soul Swallowing Jar"!"
"As for you, call it "Red Spirit"!"
The red spirit insect in the Soul Swallowing Jar sensed Chen Ming's thoughts and knew its own name. It shook its head in the jar and seemed very happy.
It swallowed a few of the "Qingmu Poison Gas" stored by Ling Yangzi in the jar, and then curled up contentedly, motionless.
Chen Ming practiced the "Soul Swallowing Jar" and placed the red spirit insects. Only then did he have some free time and began to comprehend Ling Yangzi's practice method "Qingmu Poison Gas".
Although Ling Yangzi's "Qingmu Poison Gas" is a side door of the poison path, it can also be cultivated into the soul and break through to the visualization realm.
It was much better than Chen Ming's previous method that could only reach the Qi-inducing stage.
If it weren't for Chen Ming's "108,000 Insects" secret method, which allowed him to refine the spirit insects to protect himself, he would not be Ling Yangzi's opponent at all.
The root of the "Green Wood Poison Gas" was derived from the visualization of the "Eastern Wood Qi", but it lost its orthodoxy and fell into a side door.
But at this time, Chen Ming only had this method in his hand, so he could only practice it first.
He sat cross-legged, facing the east, knocked his teeth nine times, and visualized and chanted the mantra with his soul.
In a moment, as if he was in the clouds, the Eastern Wood Qi fell from the void, and was attracted by the method, turning into green wood gas, and then poison was generated in the gas.
As long as this gas was collected and bound and refined with the mind of the soul, it could be transformed into a breath of "Green Wood Poison Gas".
Just as Chen Ming's mind was about to collect and refine it, the lotus platform under his seat suddenly gave birth to light, and something unexpected happened.
