In Tianzhao Mountain, Xiao Chen could hardly feel the passage of time.
Often he would sit under the soul tree for the whole morning or the whole afternoon.
Now that I have some free time, I can chat with Amaterasu and spend some time with Beniichi, which is quite leisurely.
In addition, he also went to Jiulongtan and communicated with nine black dragons up close.
It is said to be communicating, but in fact it is also to feel their state.
With Amaterasu around, they didn't have any hostility toward him.
He had basically gone through all the forbidden areas in Amaterasu Mountain, and the only one he didn't dare to go to was the fantasy world.
He was afraid that if there were any more lively scenes, it would be embarrassing.
Everyone has the deepest impression on him. If his image is exposed, who will believe that he is a serious person?
Xiao Chen once felt that something was wrong in the fantasy world, but Lao Zhao and the others were normal... This made him confused and could only avoid it.
"Grandma, I'm ready to leave."
After receiving the news from the emperor, Xiao Chen came to see Amaterasu to say goodbye.
Although he was reluctant to leave, when it was time to leave, he had to leave after all.
"good."
Amaterasu nodded and did not try to persuade him to stay.
Although she cared about this child, she knew better what this child shouldered.
"Grandma, I want to go to the Soul Tree at midnight tonight."
Xiao Chen thought for a while and said again.
"Can."
Amaterasu smiled.
"If it wasn't impossible to move it away, I would have asked you to take the soul tree away."
"I think it'll be fine tonight."
Xiao Chen also smiled, he knew that Amaterasu was telling the truth.
She was ready to pass on Amaterasu Mountain to Hong Yi, so naturally she wouldn't care too much about this.
"If it still doesn't work, then the time has not come... we can only wait for foundation building."
Xiao Chen said again.
"Divine consciousness is not that easy..."
Amaterasu looked at Xiao Chen, still unable to conceal his surprise.
She had heard Xiao Chen talk about it, and she was really surprised when she learned that Xiao Chen wanted to condense his spiritual consciousness.
Without building a foundation, have we reached this point?
too exaggerated!
evildoer!
Apart from these two words, she couldn't think of anything else.
"I know, just give it a try. If it works, forget it."
Xiao Chen smiled, he would not force it.
"Um."
Amaterasu nodded.
An hour later, Xiao Chen sat under the soul tree again, his whole body disappearing into darkness.
He did not immediately go to spiritual cultivation, but felt himself.
His soul was at a critical point before. Once it breaks through, he will have a great possibility of building a foundation.
Of course, it is the foundation of immortality.
After practicing under the soul tree for two days, he found that his soul had been compressed... If the value is one hundred, it used to be ninety-nine, but now it has become ninety.
However, there has been a qualitative change in the past ninety years, and it is different from before.
"Does it still need to be condensed in order to meet the requirements for the release of spiritual consciousness?"
Xiao Chen muttered to himself, I wonder what this requirement is and what its value is?
eighty?
Or seventy?
Or lower?
"No matter, let's try it first and then talk."
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and started running the 'Chaos Art' like crazy. His upper Dantian was trembling, giving him a very uncomfortable feeling.
However, he gritted his teeth and persisted, maybe it would be fine after he got through it.
Click...
I don't know how long this discomfort lasted, but suddenly there was a cracking sound from Xiao Chen's upper dantian.
This surprised him, what's going on?
It won't destroy the upper Dantian, right?
He wanted to stop, but found it difficult to stop. Even if he didn't use the 'Chaos Art', his upper Dantian was still trembling.
"Finished calf?"
Xiao Chen took a deep breath, steady, don't panic.
Just when Xiao Chen's upper Dantian was trembling and making a crackling sound, there were haloes of light that were invisible to the naked eye and were swimming around him.
At the same time, a figure walked out of the darkness.
It is none other than Amaterasu.
She looked at Xiao Chen who looked in pain, frowned slightly, hesitated, and did not step forward.
"Let's see, maybe it will be a good thing for him..."
Amaterasu thought for a while, then his eyes flashed, and he saw that her eyes had changed and became extremely deep.
Those haloes of light that were difficult to see with the naked eye appeared in her sight.
"Somewhat violent..."
Amaterasu resisted the urge to take action. This was equivalent to the phoenix's rebirth. If he could carry it through, there would naturally be great benefits.
In fact, Xiao Chen's ability to achieve this step was beyond her expectation.
boom!
There had never been a moment when Xiao Chen could feel his upper dantian so clearly... He could clearly feel that his upper dantian was shaking and cracking, and it was covered with cracks.
Immediately afterwards, he could still feel that something seemed to be brewing and growing in his upper Dantian.
This cheered up Xiao Chen and he continued to persevere... no matter what, he persevered.
A faint fragrance comes to your nostrils.
Xiao Chen smelled the fragrance and felt that the pain caused by his Dantian was not that great anymore.
However, just when his thoughts changed, even greater pain hit him, making his vision go dark and he almost fell off the futon.
"Numbly..."
Xiao Chen cursed, he wanted to do something, but couldn't do anything.
If it's an external injury or something, it can be sustained with the Nine Flames Mysterious Needle... But there's nothing you can do about the soul.
"Damn it, you can make me an idiot if you can... I've even split my soul and transformed myself into a god outside my body, why are I still afraid of this?"
Xiao Chen roared, and after stabilizing his body, he started to run the 'Chaos Art'.
As he operated the 'Chaos Art', it was like adding fuel to a fire, and the soul seemed to be torn apart inch by inch, and the same was true for the upper Dantian.
"What is he doing?"
Amaterasu looked at Xiao Chen, dumbfounded.
She could see the state of Xiao Chen's soul. This... was he looking for death?!
"I can no longer just watch... but..."
Amaterasu is also hesitating, what should I do?
What if she disturbed Xiao Chen?
Everyone has their own path... everyone's path is different.
Therefore, she did not dare to intervene rashly.
Unless Xiao Chen really can't bear it anymore.
"Cool……"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen roared again, veins on his forehead throbbed, and sweat dripped down.
He continued to operate the 'Chaos Art', and although it was difficult to enter the state of spiritual cultivation, he also increased the intensity of 'destroying' the upper Dantian.
"Break and then stand...live towards death!"
Determination flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. He still didn't believe it. He could really turn him into an idiot.
He couldn't see his soul, but he could feel it.
His upper dantian has been shattered, but that kind of business is even bigger... It's like a small grass trying to grow out of the ruins.
Stubborn and tenacious!
Time passes minute by minute.
Under Amaterasu's gaze, the energy of the soul tree was slowly absorbed by Xiao Chen.
Although Xiao Chen roared in pain from time to time, his state... seemed to have found a balance between life and death.
Destroy, regenerate, destroy again...
Break it, rebuild it, break it again...
It's such a process.
Amaterasu has also experienced this process, but it is far less violent and terrifying than Xiao Chen.
Because Xiao Chen's level is too low, he can't even build a foundation.
It's like a baby that has just learned to crawl and suddenly stands up and wants to run... there must be a price to pay.
"Is this how he always gets stronger?"
Amaterasu was very moved. She was a strong spiritual cultivator and knew that this kind of pain... was definitely countless times greater than the pain of the physical body.
But now, Xiao Chen is persisting and...not giving up!
At this moment, she thought of what the old fortune teller said to her the last time she saw her.
"He is a monster, but he dares to fight hard... Otherwise, no matter how talented he is, what can he do? All of his strength is gained by fighting for his life."
In the past, Amaterasu didn't take it seriously, but now she believes it.
At this time, Xiao Chen was no less than fighting for his life.
Amaterasu took out a soul fruit. If Xiao Chen's soul was damaged, she would immediately replenish his soul with the soul fruit.
Immediately, she glanced in the direction of Jiulong Pond. If necessary, the nine black dragons... could also redeem Xiao Chen's soul.
Click... click...
Xiao Chen's consciousness became confused, and he could only persist instinctively.
He was soaked all over, as if he had just been fished out of a nearby pond.
He had forgotten all about divine consciousness and chaos arts at this time.
It's all supported by instinct.
boom!
At the moment when the ruins of Shangdantian completely exploded, the life force suddenly broke out.
With this new energy, his broken upper dantian began to be repaired...
Although the process is slow, the balance... has been broken.
The power of life is stronger.
Soon, Xiao Chen's consciousness recovered again.
"this……"
Xiao Chen sensed the changes in his upper dantian. He was startled for a moment, then reacted and showed a look of ecstasy.
However, he quickly suppressed his ecstasy, activated the 'Chaos Art', and began to cooperate.
"It's done?"
Amaterasu looked at Xiao Chen's violent soul and gradually calmed down, with a surprised look on his face.
Just now, she was very close to stepping forward to save someone.
She couldn't just watch Xiao Chen have a big problem with his soul and become an idiot or a vegetative state.
If so, how could she explain to the old fortune teller?
What's more, she really cares about this child.
I don't want anything to happen to him.
"The soul is less? No, the total amount is smaller, it has completely undergone a qualitative change, it has been compressed and solidified...the power of the soul is stronger."
Xiao Chen felt his own state and was ecstatic.
This is a process of rebirth!
"In other words, I can continue to cultivate my soul to strengthen my soul? Instead of reaching the critical point? No, it seems that the reserves in the upper Dantian have also become larger..."
Xiao Chen muttered to himself, and then activated the 'Chaos Art', causing his upper Dantian to tremble.
Although the upper Dantian has not fully recovered, it is much more comfortable than before.
"this……"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen's eyes widened and he woke up from the state of spiritual cultivation.
Just now, he seemed to be able to sense his surroundings?
In the past, he could do it, but that kind of perception before was based on his own premise.
But what happened just now seemed different. He was able to break away from himself, as if he had a God's perspective... to perceive everything around him!
Not the same thing at all.
"Releasing spiritual consciousness?"
Xiao Chen thought of something and his body trembled. Is this... the release of spiritual consciousness?
