Chapter 31: The Mystery of the Soul
Underworld, Thunder Pool.
is honest and easy to say, but King Yan just refuses to let him go. But Feng Lian talked endlessly, so that the king of Yan Yan, who was accustomed to purity, couldn't resist it.
In the end, King Yan was also annoyed by Feng Lian, and simply said, "If I let you go, you won't be able to go." ”
Feng Lian asked, "Why?"
King Yan said: "If you want to leave here, you must first fuse your soul into a primordial spirit, otherwise once you go to the outside world, once your divine consciousness body is damaged, the laws of the Great Dao outside will directly make your soul scatter." ”
This situation is well known, and it is impossible for the divine consciousness body to persist outside for too long. Those that can remain for hundreds of millions of years are soulless divine consciousnesses, so they cannot be called divine consciousness bodies.
The divine consciousness left behind is like a rat crossing the street, and anyone who sees it wants to step on it. Either they are dissolved by the laws of the Great Dao, or they are devoured and destroyed by people, and all that can be left is to hide in dark corners, or struggle in some special environment. Only a very few particularly powerful divine senses have the opportunity to take away the bodies and souls of others. But the longevity will also be greatly reduced.
Feng Lian asked, "Then how can I fuse my soul into a primordial god?"
King Yan thought for a moment and said, "If you think you can withstand the bombardment of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, you can go to the soul pool under the thunder pool to find the answer. ”
Feng Lian exclaimed, "What are you talking about? Under the thunder pond is the soul pool?
King Yan said, "There are only two doors to leave the underworld, one is the ghost gate and the other is the reincarnation gate. If I don't open it, no one can get in, no one can get out. Except, of course, pure soul. ”
Feng Lian thought for a long time, gritted his teeth, pointed to Gu Tatian and Li Zixian, and said to King Yan: "Senior brother, the two of them are now your disciples, you temper them well, and I will go to the soul pool to have a look." ”
King Yan said in surprise: "I'm just talking casually, you really want to go down, it's a situation of nine deaths and a life to go in." ”
Feng Lian nodded and said: "You have to go down, I still have a lot of things to do, and when the time comes, I will take you to see the wonderful world outside." ”
King Yan said in frustration, "You still have to leave me." Can you not go?"
Feng Lian comforted: "How can I leave Senior Brother, if you go out with me, won't we be together every day?" and I will find you a lot of strong opponents to ensure that you have a good time fighting." ”
When King Yan heard this, he was in a good mood and shouted, "Okay, okay, as long as there is a fight." Then go down quickly, remember, don't die. I can't help you when you get down there. ”
Feng Lian nodded. In fact, he already had a countermeasure, no matter how powerful the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder was, he could resist it, and no matter how weird the soul pool was, he could crack it, because he had a super invincible talisman.
As soon as he jumped into the thunder pool, countless thunderbolts like swimming fish surged towards Feng Lian, the momentum was not loud, but the attack power was not low. kept biting Feng Lian's body, and in less than a quarter of an hour he was already in tatters, and there was a feeling of paralysis all over his body, and his movements were seriously slow.
What's even more uncomfortable is that the buoyancy of the thunder liquid is very large, it is too difficult to dive down, and at such a big price, Feng Lian only dives more than ten meters deep, and he doesn't know how far away he is from the soul pool.
At this time, the preservation of strength is the most important, Feng Lian did not resist the attack of lightning with his own hardness, but pulled down the black earthworm hanging on the tree of life and condensed him into a shield.
"Boy, what the hell is this place, so many thunderbolts. You've gone too far, and it's been a little bit for me to recover so much, and you're just like this to me. As soon as the black earthworm, which had been asleep, woke up, he saw dense thunder and lightning rushing towards him, and he was so anxious that he shouted.
He struggled hard, but he couldn't get out of Feng Lian's control.
The battle with the Xuannu made him extremely injured, and he had just recovered a little at this time, and it was impossible to knead Feng Lian at will like before. Especially in the state of the divine consciousness body, he has the demeanor of twelve souls and twelve spirits, and his soul power is countless times stronger than him. At this time, the real feng shui turns, and it is his turn to be abused by Feng Lian.
"Hold on for a while, and you'll be at the soul pool in no time, where there's a lot of soul liquid for you to absorb. ”
"Soul Pool?!Why did you kid run to Thunder Pool? You don't need to take me with you if you want to die. ”
Feng Lian said angrily: "If you don't come, anyone here will die, but you won't." If my guess is correct, the underworld is your spirit realm, right?"
The black earthworm didn't answer him, and did its best to resist the increasingly dense thunder and lightning.
Gu Tatian and Li Zixian looked at the various color bubbles that kept coming out of the thunder pool extremely nervously, and as soon as the bubbles exploded, the power of thunder and lightning that overflowed made the flames in their hearts sway, and their souls trembled.
The two secretly prayed in their hearts that Feng Lian would not die inside, and now their fates are linked.
King Yan pointed impatiently
They said, "Come, fight with me." If you don't exert all your strength, I will throw you into the pool of thunder. ”
How dare Bone Tatian and Li Zixian disobey, they immediately condensed their most powerful strength and rushed towards King Yan.
The combat power of these two people is not bullshit in the eyes of King Yan Yan, but Xiaoxiao is also meat, and he is very content to have someone to fight with him and play with him.
This time he was extremely careful, for fear that another one would accidentally kill these two people, and where would he cry. Besides, these two people are disciples given by their junior brothers, so they have to be tempered well.
I don't know how long I've lived, but I have never left the underworld, and it can even be said that I haven't left the Nine Palaces Remnant Array, and King Yan's thoughts are actually very simple.
With the protection of the black earthworm, that is, the divine consciousness of the clone of the dark Yan, Feng Lian is a little soul power to help him resist the lightning. However, it was soon discovered that the electric mangs were not attacking the black earthworm's divine sense, but had very close contact with him, which made him speechless.
I don't know how long it took, but a series of extremely mournful shouts attracted his attention.
In the thunder pool, a silver-white light fell, and in the light, thunder and lightning of various colors were like swimming fish, biting the souls that kept falling, and the wail was the sound of those souls.
A soul body that falls from the upper part of the light, with various impurities attached to it. These impurities, in fact, are consciousness, memory.
The thunderbolt fish is constantly devouring those divine consciousness and memories, and the further it falls, the cleaner the soul body becomes. When the thunderbolt fish devoured all those impurities, the soul body was dispersed and turned into a distinct soul and spirit, and finally under the bite of the black thunderbolt fish, it turned into drops of pure soul liquid and fell.
Sinking along the attention, some of those pure soul fluids dared to fall so low that they would disappear into thin air halfway.
Feng Lian asked, "How did those soul liquids disappear?"
The black earthworm said, "It's not that they've disappeared, they've gone to build new lifeforms. ”
Feng Lian asked puzzledly: "What does it mean to build a new life form, can you explain it clearly?" ”
The black earthworm and the thunderbolt fish are playing and playing, and they seem to be in a good mood, and they tell Feng Lian some things about their souls.
Dead things in the eyes of the world, such as stones, dirt, mountains, flowing water, ores, etc., actually have souls. It's just that the quantity and quality are extremely low.
It's like seeing the disappeared soul liquid in front of you, some the size of a thumb, and some the size of a sesame seed. Some are as tiny as a speck of dust.
There is no pattern for the disappearance of soul fluid, some ** drops disappear together, some are just one drop, and nine drops is the limit.
Most of the soul fluids that leave in a single drop are used to construct life forms such as stones and earth. If it is two drops, and it is one soul and one spirit, most of them are to build life forms such as flowers, plants and trees.
What disappears with three or four drops of soul is the construction of a life form like a brute beast. Those who disappear with five to seven drops of soul are constructing a life form like a spirit beast, and those who disappear with eight to nine drops of soul together are constructing a human being, the highest level of life.
Of course, there are exceptions, and some stones may have three souls and six spirits when they were formed. And some people, until they are born, can only have two souls and two souls, and they are born with dementia. Or they are frail and sickly, and they die young.
In addition to the number of souls, the level of a life form is also closely related to the quality.
Just like the group of six spirits and three souls that had just disappeared in front of Feng Lian's eyes, only the size of sesame seeds, if the life form he constructed was a human being, he would be weak and sick at birth, and he could die at any time. Because the quality of the soul is not enough to support the "human" as a living organism.
However, if such a soul is built into a tree, then the tree will grow rapidly, and it may be possible to cultivate into a spirit race like Concubine Luo. Because as a tree, it has six souls and three spirits, even the lowest quality soul, it is enough to support this life form for tens of thousands of years, and this long time is enough for them to slowly cultivate spiritual wisdom.
The black earthworm said that the initial life is determined by the number of days, but the day after tomorrow can still be changed. Just like a stone with only one soul or one soul, as long as it has been weathered by wind and rain, tempered by years, it is still immortal.
Then this stone has a great chance to attract the soul that passes by him, to build a new life, consciously enter its body, make itself stronger and stronger, and finally have wisdom.
Of course, this is a very long process, and it is also a painstaking process of willpower and time.
Therefore, in the era of the continuous emergence of powerful lifeforms, there will also be many low-level lifeforms that will continue to disappear. Because the number and quality of souls possessed by a powerful life is ten million times that of a low-level life.
Just like the nine souls and nine souls of a martial saint, the quantity and quality are equivalent to building the souls of 100,000 mortals. And the soul of a mortal is equivalent to about 60,000 trees, or 10,000 pu
The soul of the brute.
Because in this universe, anything can be changed, including the speed of time. But there is one thing that is eternal and constant, and that is the number of souls.
According to what the black earthworm said, he used his spirit realm to suppress the soul pool for hundreds of millions of years, observed it for hundreds of millions of years, and found that the soul pool never increased or decreased. He said that the soul does not die or perish, neither increases nor decreases.
Even if the Terrans die, there will still be other lifeforms, which may be stronger or weaker than the Terrans.
Feng Lian said: "According to what you said, the soul is the foundation of the living body, and the quality and quantity of the soul determine the wisdom level of the living body, so what is the relationship between the soul and the divine consciousness?"
The black earthworm said that the reason why everything in the world is divided into yin and yang is because of the soul. The soul is yin, and the soul is yang. Consciousness is both a derivative of the soul and the guardian of the soul.
Souls that are not protected by divine consciousness are easily injured by external objects, such as lightning in nature, sudden sound waves, and so on.
Under normal circumstances, when a man is born, he has three souls and six spirits in his body, while a woman has six souls and three spirits.
The soul of a mortal does not change from birth to death. A cultivator is to cultivate his own path of life, not to walk according to the path of destiny.
When a cultivator is promoted to the Immortal Realm, the soul in his body reaches balance for the first time, and it is only at this level that he can truly change the structure of the life form and gain a longer lifespan.
Feng Lian knew this that when he was promoted to Martial Immortal, he had six souls and six spirits in his body. This was discovered by him only after his spirit crystal had transformed into the Tree of Life. At that time, his tree of life had six leaves and six fruits. After that, every time he was promoted, there was one more leaf and one fruit, and when he reached the martial saint level, it happened to be nine leaves and nine fruits.
He originally thought that the extra souls were cultivated by himself, but who knows, but he forcibly took the souls of other lifeforms.
However, according to normal cultivators, ninety-nine return to one, that is, nine souls and nine spirits return to one, and merge into the primordial gods. Why is he now twelve souls and twelve spirits, but he still can't fuse?
He let go of the doubts in his heart and listened carefully to the black earthworm's story.
The purpose of the balance of the soul is to balance yin and yang. The balance of yin and yang, in addition to keeping the vitality from being lost, can also seize the vitality of this piece of heaven and earth for its own use.
What is more important is to let the divine consciousness be condensed outside the soul, so as not to let the soul breath leak out, causing the idea of the Great Dao Law of Heaven and Earth, otherwise you will always face the danger of being robbed of your soul by the Great Dao Law.
Because the laws of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth also talk about balance, it is impossible to watch you monopolize the souls of others in quantity and quality, which is also the reason why geniuses are jealous of the heavens.
Especially after owning the secret realm, creating life in the secret realm also requires the soul of the soul pool as the foundation, and the number of souls in the soul pool is even larger.
No wonder all the promotions to the realm have to be struck by lightning, it turns out that this is how the heavenly tribulation came. This is no longer heavenly jealousy, but heavenly punishment.
The soul is the foundation of the living body, which determines whether the living body can exist in the world. The life form that has lost its soul will lose its vitality quickly, and then the body will decay, and the aura and essence he has seized will be repaid to this universe one by one.
Divine consciousness is also not good, and it will also be consumed into pure essence and return to nature.
But the divine consciousness has wisdom and can travel through space for a short time. Therefore, after the fall of cultivators who have cultivated to a certain level, their divine consciousness will do everything possible to avoid the pursuit of the Great Dao Law.
This is no longer greedy for life and afraid of death, or stealing life, in most cases it is an instinct. It's like when you see a foreign object suddenly attacking, you will subconsciously reach out to block the vital part.
Some divine consciousness can even remain in a special environment for hundreds of millions of years, which has nothing to do with the level and cultivation of the divine consciousness master before his death, but luck, because the remaining divine consciousness is too small and too little.
In the end, the black earthworm sneered, those so-called reborn and traversers, in fact, are not the rebirth and crossing of the soul, but the attachment of the divine consciousness.
It is not an exaggeration to say that they are parasites, and those divine consciousness are worms that parasitize on other people's souls.
By chance, those immortal consciousness will attach to someone's soul, and if that person's divine consciousness is too weak, it will be taken away. Otherwise, he would be able to refine and possess all the memories of that divine consciousness.
Feng Lian seems to have figured out a lot of things. Some stupid people have been enlightened overnight and suddenly enlightened. Some mediocre people create something jaw-dropping and unbelievable on a whim.
That's because he got the memory of a certain divine consciousness in the long river of history by chance. So you can know what others don't know, and you can do what others can't.
But most of such people are like meteors, although they are dazzling, they are only too short-lived. Only a very few people can integrate perfectly, and their vitality and wisdom can continue to improve.
Because, genius is jealous!
