"You just wandered in a state of mind. This is the first manifestation after having the soul. The soul separates from the body. This is a manifestation of spiritual cultivation and entering the holy level. Throughout the ages, I don't know how many people have thought that forming the soul is the most important thing.
The danger, as everyone knows, is to let the soul return to the body again.
This stage is the most dangerous. If other powerful monks appear, they will seize your soul at any cost and devour your soul to increase their cultivation. Even if they have not met a strong person, they will
Because the soul is not stable and dissipates between heaven and earth."
Ao Cangqiong explained.
Liu Xia nodded and immediately discovered that the inner elixir in his body was gone.
"Where is my inner elixir?"
Liu Xia was stunned and said.
"Idiot, what do you need the inner elixir for when you have the Yuan Shen? From today on, the direction of your spiritual practice is to practice the Yuan Shen. Let your Yuan Shen continue to be stronger. After your Yuan Shen becomes the Yuan Ying, you
Then you have entered the true stage of demigods. When you are the Nascent Soul Mahayana and receive the baptism of heavenly thunder, you will have entered the divine stage. By then, you will already be a god, whether you have a physical body or not!"
Ao Cangqiong smiled.[
"Oh! It turns out, I succeeded."
Liu Xia smiled awkwardly.
Having just acquired the soul, he was very curious about this new thing.
Put almost all your energy on the soul.
After stepping into the holy steps and leaving the soul, Liu Xia realized the horror of the holy steps.
In previous fights with masters of spiritual saints, they relied entirely on the power of the spiritual source within their bodies to suppress their opponents.
If it weren't for the power of the spiritual source, I'm afraid he would have died in the hands of a holy master.
Yuanshen and inner alchemy are completely two concepts.
The spiritual power released by the inner elixir in an instant is less than one percent of the spiritual power released by the soul.
After regaining the soul, the attack power is undoubtedly a qualitative leap.
A long time ago, spiritual power was poured into the meridians, and the amount of spiritual power that the meridians could hold was very limited.
However, due to the constraints of the mind, even if the meridians are filled with spiritual power, it will take a long time.
Later, the meridian method withstood more spiritual power and began to form elixirs.
When the elixir is first formed, the inner elixir is like a pit. No matter how much spiritual power is poured into it, it will sink into the sea.
Even though the capacity of the inner elixir is amazing, after reaching the peak of the Grand Master, the inner elixir will still be saturated.[
However, this process varies from person to person.
For a normal person, it would take decades for a normal person to have a profound mental method as a foundation. If he does not have a profound mental method, he may even be stuck at this step for the rest of his life.
Because Liu Xia had the power of two spiritual sources, the Great Virtue Sutra, and the meridians reforged from the Demon Heart Sutra, this process was greatly shortened.
The soul that has been formed now, no matter how much spiritual power is poured into it, even if the power of the spiritual source is raised to the limit, it will feel like a bottom hole. No matter how much spiritual power is poured into it, it will feel like it is causing a wave.
Liu Xia finally understood why Yuanshen was said to be a new field.
There is a world of difference between having Yuanshen and not having Yuanshen.
"Your Highness, we have arrived at Jiangzhou Territory."
At this time, Zhang Zong whispered outside the car.
Liu Xia stopped practicing and got off the carriage.
The moment Zhang Zong saw Liu Xia, he was suddenly startled, and then he clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations to your highness, congratulations to your highness for stepping into the holy steps."
"oh?"
Liu Xia was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself why Zhang Zong was so sharp-eyed and how he could immediately see that his cultivation level had improved again.
At this time, Liu Xia suddenly discovered that he saw things differently from before. He seemed to see things in the form of spiritual power, without the essential appearance of objects.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, Liu Xia felt that something seemed to be added to his forehead. Liu Xia was shocked and found that he had an extra eye at some point.
"Eye of the Sky!"
Liu Xia was suddenly shocked.
The Heavenly Eye, also known as the Eye of Origin, can penetrate into the origin of the world. It was supposed to appear after the Great Sage Nascent Soul was formed. However, due to the dual spiritual sources in Liu Xia's body, Liu Xia opened the Heavenly Eye in advance.
Immediately, Liu Xia took back his soul, closed his eyes, and everything he saw this time returned to its original appearance.
"Low-key, low-key."
Liu Xia smiled lightly.
Zhang Zong on one side has fallen into madness. When he met Liu Xia, Liu Xia was only at the peak of the master level and had not even reached the level of a grandmaster.
However, in just one year, he has already entered the realm of sainthood.
Sure enough, people are more likely to die than others.
At this time, Liu Xia saw the boundary monument on one side, and it turned out that he had reached the Jiangzhou border.
It was getting late now, so Liu Xia turned around and said, "Send the order to camp here tonight."
"As you command!"
Immediately, Zhang Zong left in a hurry.
Subsequently, the army began to camp at the Jiangzhou border.
As the sun sets in the west, the afterglow of the setting sun falls on the earth, smoke rises from the military camp, and it gradually falls into silence.
Liu Xia sat in the Chinese army's tent and checked the battle reports of the past few days. Duan Lingxiao stood on Liu Xia's side and reported the military situation to Liu Xia.
"The Kunsha gang looted Qinshui City and Nanping City one after another. The Jiangzhou army has moved south. However, these pirates did not fight with the Jiangzhou army. Instead, they looted Nanzhao City further south yesterday. Letter from Jiangzhou Chief Envoy
, worried that they would loot Weishui City at the junction of Kunzhou and Jiangzhou. They have mobilized a large army and are joining us."
Duan Lingxiao said.
Liu Xia looked at the map of Jiangzhou and saw that the Kunsha Gang was indeed showing signs of moving southward.
"Your Highness, are we going to join Zhang Yuanyuan's army now?"
Duan Lingxiao asked.
"In previous years, pirates landed in Kunzhou and Taizhou, but this year they chose Jiangzhou. I think there is a lot to be said for this."
Liu Xia said.
"Then what do you think their next move will be, Your Highness?"
Duan Lingxiao asked.
"They keep going south, and Zhang Yuanhua has mobilized the Jiangzhou army to keep going south. They have been chasing them. But now only the Kunsha Gang has appeared. Where are the remaining pirates?"
Liu Xia said in a deep voice.
After Duan Lingxiao heard this, he couldn't help being surprised and said: "Your Highness means that they are using a strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and their target is Jiangling!!"
"Very possible."
Liu Xia stood up and continued: "The Kunsha Gang attracted the attention of Jiangzhou Navy, and they judged that in order to guard against them, our army has to guard Taizhou and Kunzhou. Therefore, it will not go north. When they will Jiangzhou Army
Attracted to the south, Jiangling and other northern cities are now empty of defenses. They can take advantage of the situation and sneak in. By then, even if we return to defense, it will already be one step too late. It is indeed a good strategy."
"Then what do we do now?"
Duan Lingxiao asked.
"This place is three days away from Jiangling. In this way, you immediately send an order to summon 30,000 elites. You and I can set off north and rush to Jiangling. The remaining army will be led by Wang Qiushan and Zhang Changyuan to meet at the border to prevent the next attack by the Kunsha Gang.
.”
Liu Xia said.
"As commanded."
Immediately, Duan Lingxiao clasped his fists and left.
Half an hour later, about 5,000 cavalry and more than 25,000 infantry hurriedly set off from the military camp.
The army marched quickly without making any stops.
In the evening of the next day, the army arrived outside Qinshui City, and Liu Xia ordered a three-hour rest.
Immediately, Liu Xia and Duan Lingxiao entered Qinshui City.
Qinshui City is just a small city. When Liu Xia entered Qinshui City, he couldn't help but be stunned by the sight in front of him.
The streets of Qinshui City were stained with blood and had not yet been cleaned.
There were corpses parked outside the door of almost every house, and the mourning was really everywhere.
The main buildings in the city have been burned by fire, and black smoke is still billowing.
When the people saw Liu Xia, their eyes were filled with resentment and contempt.
After walking a few steps, I saw a young woman holding a swaddling baby and crying loudly.
Although the baby was in swaddling clothes, he was in terrible condition, and his whole little head was trampled to pieces.
"Go and save people!"
Suddenly, a shout came from the house on one side.
Liu Xia couldn't help but rushed in.
However, as soon as he arrived in the yard, he saw several injured men coming out of the room carrying a body.
There were obvious strangulation marks on the neck of the corpse.
When a young man on one side saw the corpse, he knelt on the ground and cried: "Hui Niang! Hui Niang, wake up. Why can't you think about it so hard?"
"Hey, it's so pitiful. The child was burned alive by the pirates. He was also raped. He didn't catch it and committed suicide. A good family was ruined like this."
An old man on one side limped over and said with a sigh.
At this time, the young man saw Liu Xia and immediately roared at Liu Xia: "Get out."
"presumptuous!"
Zhang Zong drank it immediately.
Liu Xia stopped Zhang Zong.
"You officers and soldiers have always bullied us, imposed excessive taxes, and bullied men and women. Forget it. When the pirates came, you abandoned us and ran away! What's the use of us feeding you!"
Immediately, the young man stood up and spat at Liu Xia.
Liu Xia dodged slightly, and the soldiers behind him were about to take someone. Liu Xia said: "Let him go. This is our fault."
Immediately, Liu Xia turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
"Zhang Zong, help me find out what happened to the defenders in the city when the pirates attacked that day."
Liu Xia suppressed his anger and said.
"As commanded."
Zhang Zong turned around and left in a hurry.
After walking a short distance, we arrived near the county government office. Outside the county government office, there was a large square. The square was filled with neatly arranged corpses, at least three to four hundred people.
On the outer wall of the county government office, there were dozens of naked women hanging, their lower bodies dripping with blood, and some even had their breasts cut off.
Two cadres were rescuing the women's bodies from the wall.
A gust of sea breeze lifted the white cloth covering the corpses in the square, and Liu Xia saw that these corpses were all women, ranging from thirteen or fourteen years old to young girls.
"See my lord."
A busy yamen official saw Liu Xia's rich clothes and thought he was the county magistrate who had woken up. He hurriedly knelt down to see Liu Xia.
"What the hell is going on here?"
Liu Xia asked.
"Sir, the night when the pirates came, the looting lasted until midnight. They brought all the pretty women in the city to the square for them to have fun. Many of them were married women, and they gathered all the men.
All around, I watched their wives being raped. In the early morning, they all killed them! Hey, what a beast they are."
The officer said slightly angrily.
"Your Highness."
At this time, Zhang Zong hurriedly came back and said: "I just went to inquire about it. There were less than a thousand defenders in the city that day. After the pirates invaded the city, they took the lead in surrounding the military camp. Obviously, they were planning to attack the city.
He knew it. So those officers and soldiers were killed while they were still sleeping."
"What did you mean by running away just now?"
Liu Xia asked.
"Wei Chen inquired that the pirates began to attack the city at 1:11 pm that night. At 1:00 pm, the three nearby guard posts and surrounding cities saw the beacon fire, so they mobilized the army to rescue. As a result, after knowing that it was the pirates, they did not enter
