The black shadow was half buried in the soil and half on top of the soil. The black shadow seemed to be in pain. It stretched out its claw-like arms and dug hard at the root of the wall.
Li Jun knew that this kind of spirit should be a type of earth-bound spirit. Generally, earth-bound spirits are born in the place where they died and are bound by the earth and cannot be freed.
If they are not nourished by Yin Qi and cannot get blood food, they will slowly dissipate. Earth-bound spirits are considered the most pitiful kind of wild ghosts.
The night is quiet.
Li Jun withdrew his 'eyesight' and slowly fell asleep.
Suddenly.
Li Jun felt an inexplicable connection with the bronze halberd. He opened his eyes and looked at the halberd.
It was discovered that a large piece of the bronze skin had fallen off, revealing a section of the pitch-black body.
If you look closely, you will see densely packed characters on it. The ancient seal characters are very, very small, countless times smaller than the miniature carvings.
Ordinary mortals must not be able to see it, and Li Jun could only barely see it clearly. He finally figured out the general meaning of these words even though he was just guessing.
These words were left behind by a senior, thousands of years ago. That senior didn't leave a name, he just called himself... a mortal.
Li Jun will call him Senior Mortal for now.
Senior said.
All creatures in the world, flowers, birds, fish, insects, plants, trees, and even stone utensils, can be cultivated. The spirits in the mountains generally swallow the essence of the sun and the moon, and spiritual objects such as the emperor's fluid can be cultivated.
Fierce ghosts, wandering souls, walking corpses, etc. are generally born due to resentment, evil spirit, Yin energy, or obsession. They originate from humans, but they are not humans.
Spirits, as well as evil spirits and walking corpses, are all cannibals. The difference is that spirits are not necessarily cannibals.
Evil ghosts and zombies must feed on humans, otherwise they will die and are the natural enemies of humans.
For thousands of years, ghosts and ghosts have called themselves Yin gods, controlling the life and death of human beings, tampering with human memories wantonly, and making all living beings ignorant and being raised like animals in captivity to provide blood food for the Yin gods.
The Yin God burned down human cultivation techniques and massacred human practitioners. Generation after generation, the human realm gradually weakened and the ghost realm became rampant.
The mortal predecessor was compassionate and merciful, and tried to save humanity with his own efforts. He once had a great battle with the underworld gods.
He lost that battle.
In fact, the mortal senior had already calculated before setting off that he would lose this battle, so he carved these things on the halberd in advance.
People, what they cultivate is true essence.
By exhaling and breathing, the vitality of heaven and earth is transformed into true essence. True essence can transform the human body and gain extraordinary abilities.
The true energy can also be released externally to kill ghosts and gods.
The realm of human cultivation is.
A first glimpse into the realm.
In this realm, the true essence begins to transform the human body, the spiritual eyes, ears and nose are initially opened, and another world can be seen.
The realm of fusion.
The fusion of true essence and human body and soul completely changes the human body, and mortals can also gain powerful physical power.
The realm of refining qi.
When the true energy is overflowing, it is slowly refined and the properties of the true energy are changed. People can initially practice various magical powers and release their spiritual energy.
Li Jun still wanted to see the realm behind it, but found that part of the font was looming, but he couldn't see it clearly.
Li Jun is not in a hurry, he estimates that he should be in the realm of Qi refining now, because he has just released his soul.
He just stared in confusion at a sentence left by his mortal predecessor, a sentence that encouraged him.
"Absorb the fierce ghost into true essence, transform it with the power of my halberd, and refine the energy to break the void."
"Take my halberd, break through the Nine Netherworlds, kill all the evil spirits and ghosts, and avenge my human race's blood feud for thousands of years."
Li Jun read it several times, as if this passage was tailor-made for him.
This feeling was very bad and had a creepy feeling. Li Jun carefully recalled the time he traveled to this world until now. Could everything be in that person's calculation?
Is every thought I have really my thoughts?
Does the senior mortal just want me to inherit his legacy and avenge mankind, or...does he have other purposes?
"Li Jun."
Gou Da didn't know when he woke up, and he stared at the halberd closely: "I don't know why, but I always feel a very familiar feeling."
Li Jun nodded: "Me too, do you think the mortal senior really calculated all this? If he really has such terrifying power, why... still lost?"
Gouda thought for a while and suddenly shook his head.
"It shouldn't be so scary. Rather than saying that the mortal seniors figured it all out, it's better to say that the bronze halberd chose you."
"The bronze halberd has life and can choose its own owner. If it can't find anyone who meets the conditions for a year, it will wait for a year, generation after generation, and someone who meets its conditions will always appear."
"This condition is..."
Gouda looked at Li Jun's right arm and said, "Have you an arm that can absorb the power of ghosts?"
The dog did not use a positive tone because it was not sure, and it secretly felt that Li Jun's right arm was not simple.
Li Jun thought for a while: "It is indeed possible. Just when I was able to release my soul tonight, the realm of cultivation on the halberd has reached this point, and the realms behind are all blurred.
Moreover, the mortal predecessors also left behind a technique suitable for human cultivation, but I didn't find it on Zhan Ji. Could it be that... Zhan Ji thinks that my current strength is not worthy of it?
In other words, with my current strength, even if I obtain it, there is no way I can keep this technique?"
silence.
One person and one dog fell into silence.
Li Jun suddenly felt that his life was very difficult. There were countless terrifying ghosts waiting for him on the road ahead, and there were many dark things behind him.
He is truly a mortal.
Without his right arm, without his halberd, and not as big as a dog, he is nothing.
"That's all."
Li Jun stroked the halberd and said: "No matter what you are or what your purpose is, you are indeed where I, Li Jun, live and work."
"Gouda, let me ask you..."
Li Jun put away his halberd and stared into his big eyes: "If my road ahead is destined to be extremely difficult, are you willing to stay by my side?"
Gouda rolled his eyes and yawned: "Who is following you? You should follow me. Don't worry, I will never abandon you."
Li Jun smiled.
He closed his eyes again and meditated.
For some reason, he suddenly remembered what he said to Yang Xuan during the day. What if...the memory is no longer his? Are you still you?
"No, I am who I am."
Li Jun is decisive.
"I am Li Jun, I am Li Jun, I am Li Jun!" For some reason, Li Jun felt that he must remember his name.

Author's note:
This chapter contains very little content.
But it was very hard to write, harder than all the previous chapters, and it took a lot of time, because Soy Sauce is not good at setting realms.
