Suddenly, an extremely violent flow of vitality surged in Ye Mo's belly.
This flow of vitality spreads throughout his body along his meridians and penetrates into the depths of his flesh and bone marrow, trying to transform into the essence of qi and blood.
The essence of Qi and blood is the source of a warrior's strength.
When the essence of Qi and blood is concentrated to an extremely high degree, it begins to transform into vitality.
But this process is not easy. Even for the ninth-level peak warriors and peerless warriors, it is extremely difficult for them to convert the essence of Qi and blood into a sufficient concentration of vitality.
If there is no pill guidance in the body, it will be difficult for the essence of Qi and blood in the warrior's body to be converted into a large amount of vitality. The weak vitality is not enough to combine with the ghost and cultivate into a soul.
Ye Mo was not in a hurry, and sat with his eyes closed in the cell, carefully guiding every ray of vitality, washing his muscles and bones, tempering his body over and over again, and making final preparations for the attack on the soul.
There are some differences between cultivating immortals and cultivating martial arts.
The improvement of martial arts cultivation is nothing more than two points.
Generally, it relies on practicing martial arts, conducting high-intensity training within the physical limit, and practicing every day for decades.
There are also body-tempering herbs. The body-tempering herbs can not only get rid of the bruises and strains caused by the warrior's long-term and high-intensity training, but also increase the warrior's qi and blood, strengthen the muscles and bones, thereby improving the warrior's strength.
But there is a difference between cultivating immortals and refining the body. Cultivating immortals requires spiritual roots.
Ye Mo learned from the ancient book on immortality in the island cave that the spiritual roots of secular mortals are generally lower than five points, and most of them are not suitable for immortality.
Even if someone with such low spiritual root qualifications is lucky enough to break through to the soul and become an immortal cultivator in the Qi-refining stage, if no greater miracle happens, he will be stuck at the first level of the Qi-refining stage for the rest of his life, and it will be difficult to progress further throughout his life.
The lower the spiritual root qualifications of a monk, the more vitality he needs to consume for each step forward.
This means consuming a huge amount of Vitality Pills.
The amount of elixirs it would cost a large clan of immortal cultivators to train a family successor monk would not be able to afford it even with all the efforts of the Nine Provinces Continent.
During this period of time, Ye Mo read the ancient books brought out from the cave, and gained a lot of understanding about common sense content such as immortality cultivation, physical constitution, and spiritual roots.
The more I understand, the more I realize how precious the Vitality Pill is.
After a warrior reaches the peak of body refining, part of the essence of Qi and blood in the body can gradually transform into vitality. When the rich vitality combines with a wisp of ghost in Niwan Palace, a mysterious and powerful Yuanshen will be produced.
This Yuan Shen is actually the soul of the monk, which becomes extremely powerful because it absorbs Yuan Qi.
This is the biggest secret of the birth of immortal cultivators.
Ye Mo felt that his foundation was extremely solid, and the vitality in his body gradually reached saturation, and he began to guide this flow of vitality towards Niwan Palace.
In the Niwan Palace, in the empty sea of consciousness between the eyebrows and the back of the head, a dim, invisible, almost completely void ghost floats quietly in this sea of consciousness.
There can be no mistakes here. Any accident will destroy the sea of consciousness in the brain and make people become fools and crazy.
Ye Mo guided the vitality flow outside Niwan Palace, but found that he couldn't get in.
There is a layer of membrane blocking the entrance to the Niwan Palace. The vitality rushes from left to right, never being able to enter or penetrate.
"It seems that we need to use this vitality to break through the layer of membrane outside Niwan Palace that blocks the combination of Yin Soul and Yuan Qi, so that the Yin Soul's external Yuan Qi in Niwan Palace can be combined to produce Yuan Shen!"
Ye Mo secretly said.
Ancient books only say that the vitality and the soul are combined, but they don't say how to do it specifically.
This should be it! There is no other place to go in except here.
Ye Mo used his energy flow and began to hit the gray film outside Niwan Palace.
"ah!"
Ye Mo suddenly felt a sharp pain.
He endured the severe pain like being torn apart and did not give up the impact of the airflow on the outer membrane of the Niwan Palace.
Soon, nearly one-third of the energy was consumed, but the film seemed to be loosened a lot.
Ye Mo used the remaining energy flow to continue to attack the gray film.
"No matter how painful it is, I will persevere! Now is the last bottleneck in cultivating the soul. I can't fall short!"
Ye Mo gritted his teeth and large beads of sweat continued to trickle down his forehead. At this moment, he was enduring the most severe pain in his life.
..
In the cell, the other seven people had long been alarmed by Ye Mo's unusual expression when he broke through the soul.
"What is he doing? He's meditating. Why is he sweating all over his body, as if he's about to burn up? Or is he having a high fever?!"
Zhao Dafu was surprised and couldn't help but want to reach out and shake Ye Mo awake.
As soon as his hand touched Ye Mo, there was a violent tremor on Ye Mo's body and his hand bounced away.
Zhao Dafu screamed and suddenly felt numbness and soreness in his arm. He grinned and looked at Ye Mo like a monster.
"Don't move! He's making a breakthrough, don't disturb him!"
Qian Ying's eyes turned cold and she shouted in a low voice. She was also very confused. The very strong protective aura did not seem to be a phenomenon of a warrior breaking through the level of cultivation.
What is Ye Mo trying to achieve?
..
"call!"
At this time, the efficacy of the Vitality Pill has been completely digested and absorbed by Ye Mo.
The vitality in the body reaches its strongest level.
"Break it for me!"
Ye Mo endured the sharp tearing pain coming from Niwan Palace and shouted softly.
A mass of energy flow gathered outside Niwan Palace instantly turned into a bulging air mass, rushing toward the imperceptible gray film outside Niwan Palace.
The gray film had been loosened by the previous impact of the energy flow and was not firm. With an undetectable "snap" sound, it quietly broke under the impact of this full force energy flow.
The flow of vitality was much weaker, and the light seemed to be slightly dimmed.
A small crack appeared on this gray film.
Small, but enough!
The vitality flow itself is a pervasive breath, quickly penetrating into Niwan Palace.
The almost nihilistic ghost in Niwan Palace floats aimlessly in the sea of consciousness.
It wandered in the dark and lonely sea of consciousness for a long, long time, so long that it almost forgot its own existence.
Ye Mo couldn't control this ghost that had no independent consciousness.
Suddenly, it woke up, almost instinctively and subconsciously, and swam towards the rupture of the membrane.
After the vitality flow entered the Niwan Palace, it quickly moved towards the ghost.
This is an instinctive mutual attraction. The ghost and the vitality are attracted to each other, and both want to absorb and merge into each other.
Soon, the wisp of ghost met the flow of vitality, and in the blink of an eye, it got into the flow of vitality with a "swish" sound, and began to absorb the vitality hungrily.
The flow of vitality did not produce any resistance and was quickly swallowed up.
The sea of consciousness is dark.
In Ye Mo's Niwan Palace, the weak and ethereal ghost finally began to emit little bits of light after absorbing a large amount of vitality, and gradually condensed into a gaseous entity the size of a bean.
This ghost is awakening quickly, cheering for joy, chasing every trace of vitality in Niwan Palace.
It seemed to wake up from an eternal slumber and open its eyes to see the world clearly.
This is a true transformation.
From a ghost of nothingness to a substantial spirit, from the unconscious soul to the awakening of the spirit with independent consciousness.
That kind of transformation is what most warriors in Kyushu Continent only dream of.
As long as this transformation is successfully completed, one can break through the ninth level of body refining in one fell swoop, give birth to a soul, and become a legendary immortal cultivator.
Immortal!
For mortals, it is an elusive existence, the legend of Kyushu Continent.
The vitality flow brings a huge sense of security to the soybean-sized ghost.
Freeing it from the infinite darkness of the sea of consciousness, it seems that this ball of light is its hope, making it feel extremely warm and safe.
Subsequently, the flow of vitality in Ye Mo's body accelerated towards Niwan Palace, and the fusion of Yin Soul and vitality also accelerated.
The vitality keeps decreasing.
Ye Mo's ghost was revitalized and became brighter as time went by.
A bean-sized Yuanshen became more and more crystal clear, emitting a burst of bright soft light, which instantly illuminated the silent and dark sea of consciousness surrounding it.
In the past eighteen years, Ye Mo's sea of consciousness was illuminated by such a bright light for the first time.
"Refining essence to transform into qi, refining qi to transform into spirit!"
"The ghost absorbs vitality and refines the soul!!! Finally, we have taken the most critical step on the path to immortality!"
Ye Chen was ecstatic.
It was extremely excited. It finally remembered who it was. It was Ye Mo's soul.
This soul wanders back and forth in the lonely and dark sea of consciousness, feeling the world of light. Although this light is surrounded by endless darkness.
Ye Mo closed his eyes, feeling that the sea of consciousness was empty.
His consciousness can now be placed outside his body. He can see the surroundings in the cell without opening his eyes and detect any slight movement within a radius of one foot.
That feeling is so mysterious.
A small reptile was hatching eggs in the hay pile in the cell, but he could actually "see" it clearly.
Mortals in the world rely on hearing, vision, nose smell, tongue taste, and skin touch to perceive everything around them. The soul is too weak and is trapped in the sea of consciousness, unable to perceive the world outside the body.
The five senses of warriors are a little stronger than those of ordinary mortals, but these senses are only much sharper and cannot enhance the consciousness of the soul.
Only the soul can possess divine consciousness.
The weakest divine consciousness is much stronger than consciousness. After obtaining the soul, the spiritual consciousness breaks through beyond the scope of the physical body and extends to the outside world around itself, completely breaking through the limitations of the physical body's ears, eyes, smell, taste, and touch.
Directly perceive the outside world.
"The immortal cultivators are indeed extremely powerful! They have just cultivated their soul and can use their spiritual consciousness to directly sense things within a radius of one foot! Then in the middle stage of Qi refining, in the late stage of Qi refining, there are even stronger ones
Woolen cloth?"
Ye Mo was excited and ecstatic, but also a little horrified.
"Never mind this! I have just cultivated my soul, and I have never even practiced magic! The most important thing to do now is to break through this prison, rescue Mo Ling and Gao Jian, and kill all the pirates on this ship.
!”
Ye Mo had endured the threat of these pirates for so long just to wait until he could break through his soul and break out of the cell.
