Spiritual consciousness and soul are the two most difficult places for monks to cultivate. The main reason is that they are intangible and can only be understood but cannot be explained.
The monks who were able to create these two secret cultivation techniques either did so by chance or by accident.
Either he himself has understood the most mysterious power of the laws of heaven and earth, the reincarnation of souls, and can open the way to heaven, but such monks may only exist in the upper world.
Although there are many sects that can also refine ghosts and ghosts, they are all used as weapon spirits or zombie puppets, rather than for self-cultivation.
"The attack strength of the 'soul' here happens to be from low to strong, and the attack of the foundation-building 'soul' is currently within the range that we can barely bear.
But if this happens, the forward speed will be greatly affected, and the two seniors don’t know whether they can find us!"
Li Yan whispered.
But then they shook their heads helplessly. All they can do now is try their best to get out of here.
"As for whether there will be Nascent Soul-level 'souls' in the later stage, it's useless to think too much. We can only take one step at a time. It's better than staying where we are!"
Zhao Min also heard the hidden meaning in Li's words, and said in a deep voice, her character is that of someone who is willing to sit back and wait for death.
"Senior sister, you protect the law for me, let me try!"
Now that he had made his decision, Li Yan immediately put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, and after finishing speaking, he flew forward.
He had just walked a few feet forward when four floating figures suddenly appeared in front of him, which were two "souls" that looked like two monsters.
Still, they launched an attack on Li Yan quietly.
The moment Li Yan's outer protective shield lit up, a wall of air blocked him again, blocking the continuous pursuit of the four "souls".
But he himself quickly retreated backwards without taking action to kill them.
At the same time, four soul attacks had descended on the surface of his body. The attacks were silent and silent. Only at the moment of reaching his body did Li Yan sense them.
Li Yan gritted his teeth, and while blocking three soul attacks, he chose the weakest one, which was only equivalent to the attack in the early stage of foundation building.
After he let go of his defense, he allowed the attack to fall on his shoulder.
Without any defense to stop him, Li Yan felt like a sharp thorn was suddenly stabbed deep in his soul.
Although Li Yan was prepared, his heart still twitched suddenly, as if someone had grabbed him violently, and the severe pain spread uncontrollably throughout his body.
Big beads of sweat suddenly poured out of his forehead.
Although he tried his best to control his retreating body and did not fall down, he still staggered, "kick, kick, kick..." and stepped back continuously.
Li Yan's face instantly turned pale.
The severe pain in the soul, even the severe pain caused when I first started practicing Qiongqi Purgatory Technique, is simply incomparable to this.
This kind of pain is not something that can be touched or relieved through other methods. It is simply intangible and cannot be truly touched. The heartbreaking pain came from the depths of his soul.
At the same time, a gentle force behind him pulled him back.
"Don't swallow the pill, use magic power to restore the wounds left by the attack, and see what the result will be?"
Zhao Min's voice reached Li Yan's dazed mind, and there was a coolness in his voice.
Of course Li Yan knew what to do, but Zhao Min was afraid that his soul would be injured and his consciousness would be confused, so he poured magic into his voice to keep Li Yan awake.
Li Yan endured the severe pain and nodded, and immediately sat cross-legged.
With his spiritual consciousness penetrating through, he discovered that there was a very small star-shaped depression in the sea and sky of his consciousness, which was almost undetectable.
Although the pit was so small compared to the illusory sky, it was Li Yan's sea of consciousness. The source of the pain was clearly clear, and he immediately found the place where he was hurt.
Li Yan began to try to use magic power to slowly repair and consolidate the dent, but when his magic power slowly touched there, Li Yan's body trembled violently.
Zhao Min stared at Li Yan unblinkingly with her beautiful eyes, but did not make any move to investigate or help.
Li Yan felt as if a glass of strong wine had been spilled on the already extremely painful wound as soon as the magic power came into contact. He was so painful that he couldn't control the movement of his body at all.
In this way, Li Yan's body was shaking violently. After sitting cross-legged and meditating for nearly three hours, his whole body felt like water was washing him, and then he slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, Li Yan looked tired, but his eyes were bright. He spoke without waiting for Zhao Min on the side to ask.
"Sure enough, it is helpful to the soul. Although this improvement is almost negligible, it can definitely have the effect of adding up a little to make a big difference!"
When Li Yan said the words "a little adds up to a lot", his face twitched involuntarily. To be honest, he didn't want to try it again at all.
"That's fine, this kind of place is a secret place that many people can't even imagine entering.
Although there is no secret technique for cultivating the soul, if word of this place that can temper the soul were spread, the entire Qingqing Continent would surely go crazy about it.
By then, this place can only be the core of the top sect, and it is hard to buy a chance to enter!"
There was a smile on Zhao Minru's beautiful face.
"Okay, each time only one of us goes out and the other person protects the Dharma. I will also summon Zikun later. Then one person can protect the Dharma and the other two can practice."
Li Yan thought for a while and estimated that Zikun would protect Qianji for another three to five days, and Qianji would have passed the most dangerous stage.
Since the soul can be tempered here, of course, this opportunity cannot be wasted and Zi Kun must be summoned.
It's just that Qianji doesn't know what's needed just to refine the "Black Cloud Frost Condensation Insect"
How much time has passed? It may be ten or twenty years before I can get out of seclusion. Then I have no choice but to lose this opportunity.
This kind of tempering of the soul is also of great benefit to Zhao Min's Gu Insects. The strongest Gu Insects in her hands are only the second level. In the end, she summoned six of them, including the Crossbow Insect King.
But her six Gu insects were extremely miserable in the next period of time. In the end, their souls were directly scattered, and three of them died in an instant.
The two that were seriously injured, the two Gu Insect Kings had to spend a longer time recovering.
Only one of them managed to survive, the Crossbow King. This shows that soul cultivation is not something that any cultivator can face. ??
The ability of the Crossbow King to persevere, Zhao Min thought after some research, may be related to the fact that it is a "soul prison tribe" and was raised here.
Although everything was not going smoothly, they were still moving forward slowly.
What Li Yan and Zhao Min didn't expect the most was that the time it took this time was completely beyond their expectations.
Three months later, in the Tianling Clan, Shuang Qingqing was sitting in front of the window, her stunningly white and smooth jade hands tapping on the table, her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowning.
Li Yan and Zhao Min failed to return after April as promised. It has been four months and ten days since they left.
"Master, my two uncles don't know what kind of problems they encountered. Why haven't any news been sent back?"
Bai Rou stood behind her. She was also impatient. She originally agreed to return to the Desolate Moon Continent together, but Li Yan and Zhao Min lost news about it.
Now when she calls her "Uncle Master", her face is unusually calm, and the original entanglement and inferiority complex in her heart are gone.
"With Li Yan's caution and teaming up with Zhao Min, the chance of encountering a powerful enemy that he cannot resist is less than half.
After all, this is Qingqing Continent, and Yuanying monks will not move around at will, and with their methods, even if they encounter twice as many fake babies, they may not be able to trap them, let alone trap two people at the same time?
In the worst case scenario, at least one person will escape and no news will be sent back. This is indeed not Li Yan's style of doing things. He always leaves a lot of backup plans. It seems that I must go there myself!"
Both eyes were staring out the window, watching the breeze blowing through the green branches and leaves in front of the window. Below the window were layers of terraced medicinal fields, full of flowers of various colors.
She also made an appointment with Shuangfengyan, and she couldn't delay any longer here.
"You can practice here with peace of mind. I will be back within half a month at most."
Shuang Qingqing stood up, and her figure gradually became illusory. She always did things simply and left without any hesitation.
Bai Rou opened her mouth, but finally chose silence. She originally wanted to follow, but in the past, besides dragging Shuang Qingqing down, she could not help at all.
It's just that once Shuang Qingqing leaves, it's actually a bit difficult for Bai Rou to calm down and practice... In the underground cave, Li Yan looked at Zhao Min and Zi Kun who were meditating, and his mind was flooded with thoughts.
"Although it is dark here, according to my calculations, it has been three months since we entered, and we have only traveled a total of about 760 feet. How long is this long alley?
The most worrying problem now is that there is no way to send any message to the two seniors..."
In the past three months, the three of them have indeed benefited greatly from here. The repairs after severe pain will bring about a slight change in their souls.
Being able to obtain such a weak enhancement of the soul is something that has not been possible in the past few decades.
In the past, only when they entered a major realm, their consciousness and soul could gain some strength. This was due to the improvement of their cultivation level.
Li Yan felt that in just these three months, his soul might be comparable to some Nascent Soul monks.
Of course, there are reasons for rapid improvement in the beginning.
In addition, after their souls become stronger, their hearts feel more full, which includes confidence in looking at things, and a somewhat expanded feeling brought about by the solidification of their souls.
Just like when a weak person tries to lift some stone locks, it is considered good that he can lift them at first, but when he continues to practice for months or even years.
He will watch as his strength continues to grow, and he slowly lifts the stone lock, and even becomes relaxed in the end.
He naturally becomes more and more confident in his heart and feels that he can defeat many people with his own strength.
In fact, what he saw was his own growing strength, but all this was just a strong feeling of self-confidence for the original self.
This is mostly not the case!
The most obvious feeling of Li Yan and the others was that their recovery speed was more than 10% faster without taking the elixir.
Of course, this also depends on the strength of those "souls".
Take Li Yan as an example, if he was still attacked by the "soul" in the early stage of foundation building, it would have taken about three hours to recover before, but now he can complete the repair half a cup of tea earlier.
This means that the solidification of Li Yan's soul has been enhanced, his defense has also been greatly improved, and at the same time, his endurance has also improved.
As the soul becomes stronger, the threat of attacks from many magic cultivators will be reduced accordingly.
In addition, Li Yan himself is a practitioner of both Dharma and Body. In this way, he will have fewer weaknesses and truly move towards the path of both internal and external cultivation.
The same is true for Zhao Min and Zi Kun. They are also the strongest in the physical body. When fighting against Dharma cultivators, they are most afraid of being surrounded by the opponent from a distance and attacking their sea of consciousness and soul.
However, Li Yan also knew that his cultivation had made significant progress in recent months, and the effects would become less and less as time goes by, and it would be increasingly difficult to improve.
This is a situation that will occur when practicing any skill. The higher and deeper it is, the easier it is to get stuck at the bottleneck.
