Chapter Seventy-Six: Target, Mage
Sheng Shen lowered his head and looked at his hands, the two pieces of terracotta were safe and sound, and there was no change, and they still stayed in his hands.
This point is completely different from what he imagined before, the operation of the Yuan Demon Sutra, at present, does not need any auxiliary things such as the essence of the earth, only turbidity, and the turbidity is in the breathing method of clearing and removing turbidity, constantly generated, and it is also eliminated from the clear qi, pure turbidity, and at present, these turbidity are stored by Xiao Hei, otherwise, if it is still in his body, he will definitely be aware of it.
It's just a pity that these turbidities are useless on weekdays, and they should have been stored a lot over the years, but he can't check the specific amount, which is a pity.
But fortunately, the Yuan Demon Sutra is just a body forging exercise, if it is like the Tao Sutra, if it produces a power such as mana in the body, whether it can be compatible with mana may be a problem, if it is like that, it will be even more worrying.
But then, Sheng Shen thought again, the mysterious power generated in the body at that time, this Yuan Demon Sutra, there is also a description, this power is called the Demon Yuan Force, when there is demonic energy around, the operation of the Yuan Demon Sutra can be born, only should be born of demonic energy, only to absorb demonic qi and exist, for demonic energy, it is used to suppress demonic qi, but for non-demonic times, it cannot be born at all, and when refining the demon source crystal forging body, it has no effect.
Even if Sheng Gray tried it, it was indeed the case, for example, now, there was no trace of demonic energy in his body at all, no matter how he operated the Yuan Demon Sutra, that mysterious power, that is, the power that was described by the Yuan Demon Sutra as the Demon Yuan Force, did not appear again.
The matter of the Yuan Demon Sutra, before and after, carefully thought about the whole process, Sheng Shen raised his head, walked to the water's edge, and looked at the small waterhole in the center, just now he threw the little horn here, he was a little worried, if the demonic energy was not eliminated, and then he left the body and hurt the little horn, then it would be too late for him to regret it.
The little trumpet floated above the water, like a leaf, drifting everywhere directionlessly.
Fell asleep.
That's right, Sheng Shen blinked, it's true, the little horn closed his eyes, sleeping soundly, on the water surface at the front of his nose, layer by layer of subtle ripples, then how to see, how to enjoy.
The tail of the little trumpet rises towards the sky, and the handful of white hairs at the end of the tail gathers for a while, twists into a rope, and then spreads out again, turning around twice, like a white flower flying in the wind.
I don't know what's going on lately, the little horn is about to fall asleep when he gets the opportunity, so to speak, the whole time of it, in addition to sleeping, is eating.
I used to play with Sheng Gray when I had nothing to do, but now I don't even bother to do this, and I'm a lazy person.
Sheng Shen smiled, returned to the platform, and sat down again, the little horn was fine, and his state was just right, he wanted to take this opportunity to try to build a knack and take root.
But before he could start, he froze.
This platform is not far from the water's edge, only about twenty zhang, usually at his speed, no need to deliberately, it takes about ten breaths, but this time, Sheng Shen clearly remembers that he only used nine breaths.
Although it was only a breath of difference, Sheng Shen clearly felt the difference.
Sheng Gray's heart moved, and his figure suddenly disappeared from the same place, and at the edge of this huge cave, a gust of wind blew, and when Sheng Gray reappeared, he returned to the platform.
After deliberate calculations in his heart, Sheng Shen found that his speed was indeed a little faster than before.
However, this is not what excites him the most, what makes him feel his heartbeat a little faster is that he maintained such a high-speed movement before, which is actually a bit burdensome for the body, and there are some actions that can theoretically be completed at this high speed, which can only exist in the imagination, this point, even when he fought with the bald man that day, the jade lord could see it.
But today, there is no trace of this feeling of burden, as if he can always remain in this state of high-speed movement, until eternity.
It is naturally impossible to go forever, but at least it can prove that his body is stronger now than before, and those theoretical things can also be tried to be put into practice, how not to make him feel excited.
Thinking of this, Sheng Shen looked around, and suddenly punched a piece of bluestone next to him.
"Bang" a crisp sound, the bluestone cracked in response to the sound, divided into several pieces, Sheng Shen picked up each piece and looked carefully, and found that almost every piece was on it, there were some small cracks, and some, picked up, it was directly broken.
The strength is also greater than before, although it is not much, but Sheng Shen is still very excited, this kind of change, obviously, is the cultivation of the Yuan Demon Sutra, the change brought about by the little Demon Source Crystal, in this way, he has more expectations for the cultivation of the Yuan Demon Sutra.
After the excitement, Sheng Shen returned to calm and sat down on the platform again, he was not going to go out immediately, the next thing he wanted to do was to cultivate the Tao Sutra and build the roots.
He checked it, there were a total of fifty-six pieces of terracotta in his hand, and he didn't know if it was enough, but he didn't have any big goals, after all, the Jade Lord was still waiting for him outside, and he had to leave tomorrow, and he didn't have so much time, he just wanted to build a divine aperture.
If it's just a divine trick, with the help of so many terracotta pure, there must still be hope.
Sheng Shen remembers very well that as long as he can successfully build a divine aperture, it means that he has become a mage.
A long time ago, Sheng Shen had already understood a truth, in this world, except for his own strength, there was nothing he could rely on, he used to have naïve fantasies, but every time he was defeated by the cold reality.
And every time it is defeated, it has to pay a great price, and there are many times, it is bloodshed.
Becoming a mage is a goal he has set when he began to practice the Tao Sutra and Root-Building Chapter, and this goal represents strength, and it also means that he is one step closer to the goal he wants to achieve, and it also represents autonomy.
These thoughts, which were hidden in his heart, he never revealed them, nor did he mention them to anyone.
On the surface, Sheng Shen seems to be the same for everything, neither caring nor indifferent, which is exactly what Lou Yanxin reported to Qiu Shu these days, and the evaluation of Sheng Shen's personality seems to be indifferent to anything.
In fact, what has happened these days, Sheng Shen remembers it in his heart, everyone looks at him and wants to have actions, he remembers it clearly, including incomprehension, disdain, annoyance, murder, appreciation, joy, suspicion and trust, and the actions against him include assassination, trading, robbery, as well as refuge and use.
And these days, he is still trying to understand the meaning of the words "status" and "country" in the outside world, which he used to have his own understanding, but now seems much more superficial.
For example, status, he used to think that just like in the beast group, the beast king can get everything he wants, and the rest is shared by other younger brothers, it's as simple as that.
And the country, he also thinks, is like a herd of different beasts, where there is meat, there is contention, and there is no meat.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all, or rather, there may be similarities, but it is definitely not that simple.
The outside world is much more complicated than he imagined, and reading books in the past few days has also made him understand that all the actions against him are just because of his outstanding qualifications.
For such a reason, so many people have died these days, and only in such a remote area, he can imagine with his toes, in Qiujing City, which is known as a prosperous city no less than the dynasty city, what will he face, and how many intrigues and tricks will be waiting for him.
Only when you are strong can you dominate yourself.
This point, these days, he feels much more deeply than before.
As for the road ahead, whether it is wind, rain, or landslides and tsunamis, it will eventually go on.
The first step is to become a mage.
He had already felt a lot of the benefits of mana, and now he wanted more.
In each hand, he took a piece of terracotta, and the other terracotta purities were placed within reach, Sheng Shen closed his eyes and began to operate the mana in his body according to the method taught by Xiao Lei.
For the tricks in the body, Sheng Shen is already familiar with the heart, and in the Tao Sutra, there is no requirement for the first aperture to be built, that is, any one can be.
Sheng Shen also chose a trick point, on his right arm, his mind moved, and the mana of his whole body rushed like a river, all of which converged towards this trick, and began to transform this trick point, so that it could achieve a divine aperture that could store mana crystals.
The whole process went smoothly and without any troubles, everything was going according to the steps recorded in the Tao Sutra.
All of Sheng Shen's mind had already fallen into it, and he even took back the very small part of the mind that was responsible for the third pore synchronization breathing method.
When Sheng Shen was immersed in the construction of the first divine aperture, due to the extremely rapid consumption of mana in his body, his breathing method had already begun to operate at full strength, constantly clearing and removing turbidity, in order to generate new mana to make up for the loss of mana in his body.
The little trumpet, which was floating freely on the surface of the water in the pool, suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at Sheng Gray, and then his body seemed to turn into a black light, and quickly came to the platform, beside Sheng Shen, the edge of the platform lay down, and closed his eyes again.
