Chapter Twenty-Three: Three Phantoms
The image of Yang Li's mother slowly became clearer, he cherished the time he spent with his "mother" now, even if he knew this mother, it was just a phantom formed by the energy injected into his body by his biological parents many years ago, maybe the original intention was to give Yang Li enough safety when he was in urgent need of help from others.
Before Yang Li's mother's phantom could speak, Yang Li felt a broad aura coming from in front of him, which was mixed with the love, expectations, and even some indescribable flavors of his biological parents.
Yang Li keenly sensed that there was helplessness in this breath, it may be that when his biological parents injected this energy, they had already sensed the environment in which they lived, and even the environment in which their family lived might be artificially changed, of course, this change was carried out in a bad direction.
Yang Li also guessed this in combination with the unpleasant past stories he heard from his adoptive parents later, he silently lowered his head, and in the Heavenly Tribulation of his advanced Great Realm, he silently lowered his head.
The virtual figure that evolved from Yang Li's mother image seemed to have entered a memory, and she said slowly in a low tone: "Child, first of all, I want to tell you. ”
The mechanical language is repeating Yang Li's mother's words yesterday: "When you see these three phantoms, I'm afraid you will never see us again, but you have to believe that we love you." Although we have never met, our immortal void envelops you, so we are not separated. ”
The tone of this text was a little choked, and before Yang Li could hear the end, tears silently flowed from the corners of his eyes. He did not rush to wipe his tears, but held his breath and listened carefully to the words of his mother's phantom, for fear of missing a word, a sentence, a teaching.
"These three phantoms contain special energy, which can keep you alive at a critical moment. But as long as we don't come by your side in person, I'm afraid that the big man who replaced your father's throne will smell the breath of these three phantoms through secret methods, so as to track down your exact location, and then kill you and cut you to the roots. ”
Yang Li shouted in his heart: "Mom, I'm afraid you don't know that the place where my son is staying now is a sea of flames at an unknown distance from the ground, even if our great enemy, the so-called big man, can't spy on it through a few layers, so don't worry about your son's safety." ”
When Yang Li was thinking about it, her mother's words were not interrupted, and she continued:
"You may be in danger right now, but as long as these three phantoms appear, you will be safe and sound. But in order to prevent the tracking of the great man from above, I will make a long story short now. Our family's physique is very special, and almost everyone has secret skills, but there is one thing that we all share, and that is the nine doppelgangers. ”
Then Yang Li's mother's shadow explained what a nine-doppelganger was.
The so-called nine doppelgangers mean that the souls of Yang Li's family can be divided into nine, that is to say, the people of Yang Li's family, regardless of men and women, young and old, as long as the blood of this family flows in their bodies, then his body may only have one, and the doppelganger formed by the deity is not included in the calculation here, for example, Yang Li has a Tiantian stone clone, which cannot be counted.
It's no wonder that when he was using the Soul Splitting **, he was able to use his own self-master, and he inserted the purple soul into the body of the Heaven Replenishing Stone very smoothly, which led to the birth of Da Yang Li. Yang Li praised himself very seriously when he heard this, when he was in the Land of Blood Sacrifice, he didn't expect that his family would have such a secret, and he was able to say that the energy of this secret had always been stored somewhere in his body, but his cultivation had not yet reached that level, so it was only now that he suddenly realized.
The special physique of the nine doppelgangers is both a blessing and a disadvantage for cultivation, because of such a physique, Yang Li often feels that his dantian is like a sea of oceans when he cultivates, how to infuse it with Yuan Li essence, he just can't satisfy it, but once he infuses it completely, he can become a leader in the same level if he successfully advances.
Don't say that cultivators of the same level should look up to him, even cultivators of one or two small realms who are so high must respect his prestige, for example, when he was still in the land of blood sacrifice, after Yang Li was promoted to a condensing cultivator, he could actually kill a high-level cultivator of condensing spirit, this is the benefit brought to him by the special physique of the nine-clone body, and when he really awakened the nine-clone body, after cultivating every soul in his body, his life should have nine, that is to say, others need to kill him nine times before he can completely wipe him out between heaven and earth.
From his mother's illusory narration, Yang Li learned that his father had cultivated the Eight Souls and awakened the Eight Souls, but his father's brother still killed his eldest brother eight times, which took his throne and controlled the Heavenly Court from then on.
It was the first time Yang Li had heard of such a tragedy, he seemed even more silent, except for clenching his fists, tears were no longer pouring out, he didn't expect that the person who killed his father turned out to be his own brother, he was afraid that he would be called a second uncle after meeting.
The mother's phantom also told Yang Li another little thing, she stroked Yang Li's head with some pity and said:
"Your father wants your belly to be as hard as stone, as you saw in that shadow just now. Eight-pack abs are angular and angular, do you know why?"
Yang Li's heavy mood was relieved when he heard this, he raised his head, slightly curled the corners of his mouth, and listened carefully. "That's because although we may have nine lives, before you have cultivated to that great realm, we may only have one or two lives.
Therefore, if we want to save our lives, the first thing we need to protect is the dantian, and the dantian is three inches below the umbilicus. If the skin here can be cultivated as hard as iron, then it will not be very convenient for others to attack here.
And if you succeed in cultivating here, then your explosive power in the future, using Yuan Force to attack and defend, will be stronger than others. "Mom, you don't know. The son is now known as the humanoid magic weapon in the cultivation world, not only the abdominal muscles are successfully cultivated, but the whole body is comparable to the toughness of the magic weapon, and now there is a sentence circulating in the cultivation world:
It is easy to shake the mountain, and it is difficult to shake the Yang.
Yang Li was very excited when he said this, and in the end, he even took off his shirt, revealing his bronzed body.
It turned out that Yang Li's skin was still thin and tender, and his fair face was matched with a kind smile, and people who had never suffered his losses thought that he was a white scholar.
But in the past dozens of days, he has only stayed in the sea of flames to experience, the skin on his body has long been fumigated by the scorching heat and powerful flames to change color, becoming an enviable wheat color, although his abdominal muscles can not be compared with the virtual image, it is impossible for people to buckle their fingers to smell the sound of gold and stone, but after listening to his mother's teachings, he vowed to continue to exercise this place, and also reach the same level as a turtle board.
"Your father also said that your nickname in the future will be called Turtle Plate, and at most the surname of your current adoptive parents will be added to it, so that you have your big name. ”
Yang Li almost didn't faint, his name was Turtle Plate, and his surname "Mountain" had to be added in front of him, didn't he want others to call Mountain Turtle Plate when they saw him? What kind of name is this, fortunately Dad is not here, fortunately there are no cultivators from the Shannan Cultivation Realm here, otherwise Yang Li would probably be drilling a crack in the ground and entering another sea of flames.
Soon, Yang Li diverged from talking about this topic, and he really didn't want to hear his mother call himself "Mountain Turtle Board, Mountain Turtle Board". He touched the mending stone, and the prohibition was still there, so it seemed that the black girl's big tongue and stunned Poluo Flame would not transmit his nickname outside.
Yang Li wiped the cold sweat left on his face, and continued to divert the conversation and asked, "Mom, is it true that my son will be able to clearly see the three of you at the same time after becoming a monk at the level of Xiangyun Master." Yang Li's mother's phantom nodded with a smile, and Yang Li felt great happiness in his heart.
"However, these three illusory shadows that we forcibly injected into your body still need you to pay attention to blessings with Yuan Force in your future cultivation, so that they are in harmony with your breath, mind, and soul, so that they can truly merge into your body, and then continue to temper the subsequent divine souls. ”
"Just now you said that after your father cultivated into the Eightfold and Eight Souls, he would have become the Lord of the Heavenly Court, and you said that if your son cultivates to become a Ninefold and Nine Souls, wouldn't he want to avenge our family?"
The shadow was obviously startled when he heard this, and even his body trembled slightly a few times, and after finally stabilizing his body, he taught a lesson and said:
"If something really happens to us, you must not think about revenge, because the opponent is too strong, and even your father was poisoned without warning, let alone you stinky boy. ”
At this point, the shadow was full of worry in her eyes, and it wasn't until Yang Li nodded her head in agreement that she said slowly:
"You are really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and you are not afraid of the wind when you say big words, your father was able to cultivate into an eightfold and eight-honored soul, in addition to being talented, he also reached this peak after encountering a great opportunity. If you really want to cultivate, in addition to being diligent in cultivating, you must also get the full support of the family, and you can't get this latter point anymore, you have to cultivate into a ninefold and nine souls, it is tantamount to a fool's dream, as long as we can preserve these three phantoms, we will be gratified. ”
Of course, Yang Li couldn't just give up, he secretly made up his mind that he would never give up until he cultivated into a Ninefold Nine Souls. However, the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Punishment in the sky did not realize Yang Li's intentions, he still rumbled down the ninth Heavenly Tribulation according to his own rules of behavior, and the huge ball of light the size of a human head fell from the tribulation clouds one after another, unceremoniously slapping on the protective shield.
And the protective shield is fading away, and the three phantoms are becoming more and more blurred, so that if the wind blows, I am afraid that they will dissipate. The three shadows that suddenly came seemed to be about to be overwhelmed. The phantom of Yang Li's "mother" is also constantly fading, Yang Li doesn't know what the reason is, at this time, the phantom of his "father" and the phantom of his "own" are also fading, but the latter two dissipate much faster.
"We came out quite a time in advance, and since your danger has been lifted at this time, it is also time for us to go back. I have two more things to tell you now. ”
Then Yang Li felt a void light pass in his mind, and the three phantoms in front of him shrank into Yang Li's body in a visible way, and disappeared in an instant. Yang Li also wanted to tell his "mother" that there were still nine heavenly thunders in the sky that had not been resolved, and he was still in a dangerous situation, why did the two closest relatives abandon him at this time?
How much Yang Li wanted to put his body in extreme danger, because if he did this, his parents would come to his side, although this was just an illusion, he couldn't get the feeling of his parents' real existence like others, and he could only give him the illusion that his parents were still there through the illusion.
But that's enough, how Yang Li hopes to be able to pretend to be with his parents like this, chatting together, even if he is reprimanded by his "father", he will be sincerely happy. But the reality is cruel, the phantom has returned to his body, no matter how frantically he scratches his skin, he just can't free the three phantoms that have merged with him.
Above the red sky, the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation rumbled with a loud sound, and after waiting for a moment, it instantly bombarded towards Yang Li's head. He calculated the timing very accurately, and when the three powerful phantoms in front of Yang Li were worn out, his opponent Yang Li killed him.
Yang Li's Yuan Force in his body had actually recovered a little at this time, but he had a "childlike heart" that wanted to see his parents, so he resolutely gave up resistance, wanting to inspire the phantom in his body to reappear, and then meet his loved ones.
Therefore, when the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation descended from the sky with a huge might, Yang Li's eyes closed, he silently felt the dangerous aura in the sky, and the phantom of his mother's incarnation flashed in his mind, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he actually laughed.
The scene he was expecting did not appear as he expected, but the Heavenly Tribulation from the heavens still really bombarded down, but it was not able to bombard Yang Li's body as he wished, but only slammed into the protective shield that was about to disappear.
The moment the protective shield came into contact with the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Light, it erupted with dazzling light, and the entire protective shield was concave inward, but it still stopped the Heavenly Tribulation from Yang Li's body at the moment of final dissipation. Yang Li didn't expect that the protective shield that was about to dissipate would be able to resist the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation at the last moment, helping him dissipate the last Heavenly Tribulation at a critical moment.
Yang Li squinted his eyes slightly, and his mind was blank and waited for a long time. Many of the surrounding mountains have been wiped out by the catastrophe, and even the cave house cast by the neighbor next door has not been spared. Although its cave mansion is very large and the dome is also very strong, it can't withstand the continuous bombardment of the Thunder Sea, and the owner who was originally in retreat and cultivation here also didn't know where to flee when Yang Li's fourth, fifth, and sixth heavenly tribulations were about to come, and it was estimated that this guy would still complain before leaving:
I didn't expect that the flow of flames hadn't advanced a step in cultivation for so long, but when the power accumulated over the years hit the bottleneck of advancement, it burst out with extraordinary momentum, but it hurt me, others survived the catastrophe, but I had to move. Where does this make sense?
After a long time, in the inner space of the Sea of Flames, the fire element contained in this piece of heaven and earth, along with the fire element aura, surged towards Yang Li's side like a sky. Yang Li didn't need to open his eyes to know that this was the essential change in his physique after he successfully survived the Heavenly Tribulation.
Although the way of heaven is impermanent, but sometimes it is fair, which is reflected in the fact that when the monk successfully survives the heavenly tribulation, the surrounding aura will swarm to replenish all the yuan power lost in the monk's body, whether Yang Li is willing or not at this time, the surrounding aura is swirling around him, as long as he gently runs the exercises, he can turn all the aura around him into the much-needed yuan power in his body.
"Child, if you don't absorb it quickly, if you miss the half hour after the Heavenly Tribulation, you won't have the opportunity to absorb such a large amount of spiritual energy. ”
Suddenly, a familiar female voice sounded in Yang Li's mind, which should have been the words of his mother's phantom.
After Yang Li heard this, he felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, he couldn't imagine that he hadn't been able to consolidate the cultivation of the Xiangyun Master level, just half a foot stepped in, and he was able to have a dialogue with his mother through his divine sense, and if he wanted to stubbornly not want to absorb the aura of heaven and earth, then I am afraid that his cultivation would be, would be, would be knocked down to a realm, and at that time, I am afraid that he would really not be able to see his "mother" again.
After Yang Li sorted out this causal relationship, his movements were much faster, and he ran the exercises frantically several times, massively absorbing the fire element fire aura that surged between heaven and earth, and instantly transformed it into the yuan force that could be used by himself in his body, no matter how quickly he absorbed it, would it burst his dantian.
Yang Li now has only one idea, to quickly consolidate his cultivation at the level of Xiangyun Master, in this way, it will be much easier for him to contact his mother in the future, didn't his mother's phantom just say it?
As long as he can reach the realm of Xiangyun Master, he will be able to see the phantom manifest in front of him. So what he can do now is to consolidate his cultivation, and only after reaching the relevant realm can he achieve his wish.
Yang Li felt that it was not enough to absorb the aura of heaven and earth with his dantian, he even opened his mouth for a period of time, frantically sucking in the aura between heaven and earth with his mouth, and even absorbed the aura of heaven and earth with his skin. The efficiency of the transformation of the aura in his body is also getting higher and higher.
The half-burnt incense had not passed, and Yang Li's dantian was already full of Yuan Force.
Because his physique is very special, he has a nine-clone physique, so others can become a monk in the next realm by absorbing one heaven and earth aura, but he has to absorb nine parts of heaven and earth aura to become an auspicious cloud master, so although the aura around him is almost absorbed by him, he is still a little unfinished, and he feels that his dantian seems to have some remaining strength.
However, at this time, he was terrifyingly aware that the Yuan Force Essence contained in his body, including the Yuan Force that was constantly running in the Eight Veins of the Qi Sutra, had surpassed the number of the high-level Concentration Stage by nine times, in other words, he could now withstand nine of himself alone, and the scope of divine consciousness exploration had been increased from the original 3,000 zhang to the current tens of thousands of zhang.
The strong physique of the other humanoid magic weapon has also gone from strong to stronger because of the substantial increase in realm cultivation. Yang Li felt his five fingers together and clenched his fists, and with one punch, he could blast out a large hole in the cliff wall in front of him, and the huge energy was surging in his body, like a huge wave rolling in the ocean, like the sea in the tide.
At this time, he really wanted to find a strong person to fight, on the one hand, in the fierce fight, on the one hand, to test his cultivation and physical fitness, on the other hand, to wave out the feelings that had been depressed in his heart for a long time, to relieve his sorrow, to relieve his anger, but thinking that his mother's phantom had left a light in his sea of divine consciousness before Ling Xiao, he couldn't wait to look inward, wanting to find that light from it.
Soon, that light was searched by Yang Li. The light was faintly purple, and it quickly dissolved under Yang Li's existing Yuan Force, but it turned out to be another passage from his mother's words. This passage was left to him by Yang Li's "mother" when she left, and she said:
"Because I am in a hurry, I have two more things to tell you. One is that although your physical fitness is a nine-doppelganger, except for the first three realms that were planted by your parents, the last six realms of souls are all exquisite. They are: Alchemist Soul, Forge Soul, Array Mage Soul, Rune Master Soul and Light Flame Holy Body Soul, and there is a soul form that you yearn for, except for the last one that you can choose by yourself, the rest are fixed, and you need to cultivate according to these classifications, and then you can become a great avenue. ”
The first time Yang Li heard that the nine doppelgangers were actually composed of such nine souls, so he asked, but he didn't get a reply from this light. And in the process of Yang Li's questioning, the voice in this light was not interrupted, and it was still flickering with faint light stars, and his mother's voice also said smoothly all the way:
"The Light Flame Holy Body mentioned here is the second one I want to emphasize, the so-called Light Flame Body means that our body is very adapted to fire and light, in other words, you can cultivate in the Sea of Flames, you can also absorb the light of the sun, the light of the starry sky, the light of the moon, and even the light of thunder and lightning. In short, where there is light, it is the holy place for your cultivation. ”
Then, Yang Li's "mother" taught Yang Li their family's secret method of cultivating the Radiant Flame Holy Body. Only then did Yang Li realize why he could also be safe and sound in the sea of flames as high as several thousand degrees, and he could cultivate his body in the inner layer of the sea of flames, and he had reached the stage of the great realm of Xiangyun Master like a demon. Why he was able to control the light of thunder and lightning and condense the palm thunder in the palm of his hand turned out to be related to such a physique.
Unexpectedly, he was chased and killed, and he came to his blessed land by mistake, if Yang Li had three heads and three mouths, I am afraid that every mouth would smile crookedly. He wanted to get some more information from his mother's light, but he was disappointed. The lilac light fell silent after a long speech.
