Chapter 379: Cultivating a Ray of Soul, Overlooking the World

Just as Shen Qing had this thought, the text on the ink panel was immediately updated.

[Note: A rope can saw through wood, and water can wear away stone. After years of practice, you gradually realized the true meaning of the Six Paths of Reincarnation - the tenacity of humanity, the vastness of heaven, the fighting of Asura, the wildness of the animal, the greed of the hungry ghost (absorption), and the suffering of the hell (transformation and rebirth). After the breakthrough, you successfully mastered the power of humanity, and your flesh and will were further improved, and your holy blood was further strengthened. ]

You can mobilize the natural power of mountains, rivers, land, wind, rain, thunder and lightning at will, and integrate it into the seal method to form all kinds of incredible attack and defense methods. 】

Shen Qing stared at the ink characters that appeared in his sight, and his breathing became heavy.

From the notes on these two techniques, he only felt that he seemed to have vaguely touched the threshold of "Dao".

Waves of unfamiliar memories began to emerge, not giving him a chance to react, and forcefully inserted into his mind.

At the same time, a special energy rose from his body.

Shen Qing habitually prepared himself, holding his breath and concentrating on dealing with the impact and changes.

These two techniques took him nearly a year, and he spent much more energy than other martial arts.

Therefore, the memory in these two techniques is much more than the memory of any previous technique breakthrough.

Even though he was already in the Lingxu realm, he almost lost his mind and felt very uncomfortable.

In the past, he would have fainted.

After a full moment, Shen Qing gradually came back to his senses, regained his clarity, and digested the vast amount of memory.

In his memory, Shen Qing seemed to have experienced a lifetime. In the long river of time, he spent a full four or five hundred years constantly studying and refining these two martial arts, and finally learned something, and practiced these two martial arts comparable to immortal martial arts to the next level.

Shen Qing closed his eyes and looked inward, and found that the golden holy blood in his body grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, from the original size of a hair to the thickness of a little finger, and there was a tremendous change.

Whenever he practiced, the acupuncture points all over his body bloomed with silver light, and every inch of flesh and blood became crystal clear and shining with golden light.

The originally condensed burning air was completely washed away, and no red was seen.

The same is true for the Eight Desolate Dao Seal.

Shen Qing just had a random thought, and his hands felt familiar, as if he had practiced it thousands of times. He casually made a strange yet familiar seal, which caused thunder and shook the void.

A golden seal slowly took shape in front of him, containing terrifying power.

Shen Qing retracted his hand gesture, and the condensed vision in front of him suddenly scattered like stars and disappeared into the void.

With the advantage of his spiritual eyes, his cultivation progressed very smoothly. He felt the vast spiritual power in his body and felt satisfied.

In a blink of an eye, another three days passed.

On the fifth floor of the Royal Arsenal, Shen Qing sat cross-legged, with stars twinkling around him, bathing in a galaxy.

At this moment, there seemed to be a spiritual spring surging in his sea of ​​consciousness, and a subtle but extremely strong pulsation quietly rose, like a hidden dragon in the abyss, ready to break out of the cocoon and rush straight to the sky.

This is a sign that the primordial spirit is about to condense and the spiritual realm is perfect.

Shen Qing suddenly seemed to realize something, and he decisively ended his training in the Royal Arsenal.

Then he walked out of the Royal Arsenal calmly as usual, with the same expression as usual.

He knew that this kind of breakthrough would have many external changes, and the undercurrents in the capital were surging, and there were many talented people in it. One careless move could easily attract unnecessary attention.

After a little hesitation, Shen Qing left the capital in a low-key manner and found a dilapidated wild temple in a desolate suburb.

Although this temple has been in disrepair for many years, the basic framework is still intact, and it is rarely visited by people, but it is quiet.

He stepped into it without hesitation, and a stale and decayed smell came to his face.

The temple was covered with dust and dimly lit, revealing a long-uninhabited loneliness and mess.

Shen Qing took a deep breath, raised his hands gently, and spiritual power flowed out from his palms like a trickle.

He clasped his hands together, and an invisible whirlwind suddenly rose in the temple. Wherever it passed, dust was gone, and the smell of decay was swept away.

The whole wild temple was brand new.

Shen Qing smiled with satisfaction, sat on the ground, and was surrounded by spiritual power.

Then, Shen Qing took out a few yellow triangular flags from his arms.

Since the end of the pacification meeting, he has been in contact with Shen Xiaohu. With the formation he mastered, he can now simply make formation flags.

After the last formation flag was destroyed by the might of the ruins, he recast a new one with what he learned and the materials around him.

The formation flags in front of him are the result of his experiments in his spare time.

Although these small flags look simple, they have basically the ability to isolate, but the materials and techniques are a bit rough, so they can only be used as disposable products and cannot be reused.

Condensing the soul was a crucial thing for him. The formation he used with the pinch technique was not very stable, and he was unwilling to take risks, so he decided to take out this formation flag, which was safer.

Shen Qing's fingers were flying, and the small flag kept moving in his hands. Following his guidance, it drew mysterious trajectories in the air, and finally landed steadily in all directions of the wild temple.

As Shen Qing muttered a spell, the small flags emitted a faint fluorescence and gradually formed an isolation formation.

Once the formation was completed, the entire wild temple seemed to be wrapped by an invisible barrier, completely isolated from the outside world.

If one has not condensed the soul or spiritual thoughts, even those with advanced cultivation will have difficulty in spying on the secrets within.

After making sure that everything was safe, Shen Qing took out a handful of Shou Shen Incense.

Shou Shen Xiang is the salary given to official "officials" by the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Each person only has one per month, which has the effect of calming the mind and calming the soul.

Most officials only regard it as a supplement during daily practice.

In fact, this guardian incense can also serve as a coordinate when the martial artist is condensing the soul or consciousness, preventing the vibration of the soul or consciousness from causing irreversible damage to the practitioner.

Shen Qing had accumulated some since he became the chief commissioner of Yongzhou, and he got another handful when he left Taiping County, which could come in handy at this time.

Shen Qing took out the guardian incense in his hand one by one, used his spiritual power, and inserted them all with him as the center.

The whole wild temple was covered with inserts from top to bottom, inside and out, and they were densely packed.

Shen Qing snapped his fingers and lit them all without hesitation.

Suddenly, curls of green smoke rose from the slender incense stick like a spiritual snake, lingering in the air, exuding a strange aroma that was refreshing and refreshing.

As the green smoke filled the air, Shen Qing felt that all the noise and disturbances around him seemed to be isolated by this mysterious power. His state of mind gradually became peaceful and profound, as if he was in an endless sea of ​​tranquility, with waves. Not surprised.

He realized it carefully and let the power from the God-Shou Xiang guide him to brush away all distracting thoughts and obsessions, leaving only the purest self.

"Almost."

Seeing that he was well prepared, Shen Qing took out another old shendan.

This was a gift from Li Zhentian, the Marquis of Wu of the Li family, and it was of great help in condensing the soul.

To be careful, Shen Qing once scraped off the outer layer and fed it to cats and dogs. There was no negative change and it was genuine.

You can also take it out at this time.

There are strong and weak levels in the Yuanshen realm, and the breakthrough at this moment determines 70% to 80%.

Seeing that everything was ready, Shen Qing no longer delayed, swallowed the old shendan in one gulp, and fell into trance in endless tranquility.

As the elixir entered his stomach, a warm and majestic power instantly exploded in his body.

Shen Qing only felt that his body and mind were wrapped in an endless tranquility. He took this opportunity to completely sink into the practice, unite all his thoughts, and completely enter concentration.

Under the guidance of his mind, the spiritual power throughout his body was like an awakened river, running surgingly.

Shen Qing's body was gradually enveloped by a layer of faint light, containing vitality.

For all martial artists in this world, the Yuanshen realm is the highest realm they dream of. Once they break through this realm, they can be called powerful.

As the name suggests, the Yuanshen realm is related to the Yuanshen.

Being a martial artist in the spiritual void realm is a mysterious process of constantly digging into one's own caves and integrating and condensing them to the extreme, allowing oneself to continuously fit and blend with all things in the world.

When the martial artist's soul and heaven and earth reach a certain indescribable critical value, a ray of soul can be condensed and the spiritual perfection can be achieved.

When this soul can leave the body, even if it is only an inch, it will be a real soul state, transcending the mortal world.

The key to a breakthrough in this realm lies in the words "condensation" and "hehe".

Condensation means condensing the spiritual power in the body to the extreme, turning it from real to empty, and reaching a state of resonance with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth; combining means making the soul merge with all things in heaven and earth, gradually growing stronger, until it can be fully manifested, and will not be separated by the spirit of heaven and earth. The force disperses.

Once they break through to the realm of Yuanshen, monks can master all kinds of incredible magical powers and spells, just like a real enlightened person, with thousands of changes.

Shen Qing made secrets with his hands to guard his mind.

First, it’s “Condensation.

Shen Qing gathers the spiritual power of his whole body like a trickle, continuously condensing it, and builds a framework based on his own outline.

In this process, he continued to fill this frame with his true self, and at the same time, he continued to fill this frame with his spiritual essence.

Under the double blessing of the powerful medicinal power of Laoshen Dan and the tranquil and magical effect of Shou Shen Xiang, Shen Qing's state of mind became more focused than ever before, and she did not dare to relax or neglect in the slightest.

Finally, with his unremitting efforts, an embryo of the soul that looked the same as him, but more illusory and ethereal, quietly took shape and continued to improve.

When the "condensation" stage is reached, the next step is the more critical "integration".

Shen Qing took a deep breath, relaxed his mind, and allowed the perfected soul to blend with the spiritual energy of the outside world.

At this moment, the free spiritual energy from the outside world seemed to turn into a bone-scraping knife, frantically attacking his newly condensed soul embryo, trying to tear and destroy it.

Shen Qing immediately felt the same.

Every time a part of the condensed Yuan Shen embryo was cut off, he felt like a piece of his body was cut off, suffering the punishment of "Ling Chi".

This is unspeakable pain and suffering.

Beads of sweat continued to seep out from Shen Qing's forehead.

Shen Qing never thought that condensing the soul would be such a painful process.

But there was no giving up, he kept gritting his teeth and persevered without flinching.

This is the only way to condense the soul and cannot be skipped.

Shen Qing continued to use his own spiritual power to repair and strengthen the soul. Every time he lost a point, he made up for it, and he was constantly in a stalemate with the free spiritual energy from the outside world.

He just felt that every day was like a year.

I don't know how much time passed, but just when Shen Qing felt that he could no longer hold on, there was a loud bang that echoed in his heart.

It was as if some kind of shackles had been completely broken, and the new ray of soul blossomed into the supreme divine brilliance at this moment. It was completely integrated with the aura of heaven and earth from the outside world, and there was no longer any rejection between the two.

All the discomfort and pain disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented power and tranquility.

"It's done!"

Shen Qing was ecstatic in his heart. He knew that he had successfully condensed Yuanshen and reached the late stage of Lingxu Realm. He was only one step away from Yuanshen Realm.

He carefully looked at his soul, it was like a work of art, flawless and satisfied.

"In that case, why don't I try to take that step? Cultivate a ray of soul and overlook the world."

If anyone were here, they would definitely think that Shen Qing was whimsical.

It is already very difficult to condense the soul. At this time, the newly condensed soul is very fragile. It is too risky to leave the body again.

But Shen Qing has always been a straightforward person and is unwilling to be sloppy.

He activated the Six Paths of Reincarnation, gained the power of humanity, and gained perseverance.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, I recalled the first time I climbed to the top of Mount Tai and stood on the edge of the cliff.

At that time, the sea of ​​clouds was billowing. When you looked up, you could see the horizon when the sun was rising. When you looked down, you could see the people who climbed up were as small as ants.

The cold wind howled, making his legs weak.

At this moment, Shen Qing imagined that he was on the top of the mountain, and then jumped.

A severe feeling of weightlessness was felt.

Shen Qing felt light all over his body, and his gaze suddenly rose.

He looked around and saw that there was still no change in the ruined temple.

Only when I looked down, I could see another version of myself.

Shen Qing's complexion changed slightly, and a burst of ecstasy appeared on his face.

"This is, the soul has left the body... I have broken through the realm of soul, and I have become it!!!"

Generally speaking, the soul can be formed within an inch of separation from the body, but once it is condensed, it rises into the sky, far more than an inch.

Even if Shen Qing doesn't know what other people will do if they break through to the Yuanshen realm, he can still realize that he is too different and may be a little "different from ordinary people." (End of this chapter)
