Chapter 168: The Next Step of Cultivation
Originally, the fantasy world was not on the list of mortal exclusions, because the management method of the Rhapsody Company was very low-key, and the vast majority of mortals did not even know about the existence of the Rhapsody Company and the Fantasy World.
Therefore, even the underworld, which is necessary for the six realms of reincarnation, has been rejected, but the Rhapsody Company can still operate as usual.
It seems that the Rhapsody boss had predicted the occurrence of this event from a long time ago, so the Rhapsody Company actually had a reason not to participate in the war at all.
Even when the World Destroyer Alliance defeated Olympus, the Rhapsody Company did not plan to participate in the war.
The reason is also very simple, now the mortal world rejects all cultivators, and it will also exclude the World Destroyer Alliance, and it is difficult for them to invade the mortal world.
Unless Azathoth fully awakens, but the Rhapsody Boss, who is also good at using madness, knows that the conditions for Azathos to fully awaken are very harsh, at least in the short term.
Therefore, the mortal world is actually the safest place at present, and the main body of the mortal world will not be harmed, so there will be nothing in the fantasy world, the fantasy world is fine, and the rhapsody company has a refuge.
So whether it was for the sake of his employees or for the safety of the world, Boss Rhapsody did not intend to participate in the war at the beginning.
It wasn't until the World Destroyer Alliance promoted their teachings and began to recruit followers on a large scale that Rhapsody Boss was ready to make a move.
The reason for this is not difficult to understand, just as the living beings in the mortal world will affect the Dao of the mortal world, the thoughts or beliefs of cultivators in various worlds can also affect the Dao of this universe.
Although they are not as numerous as mortals, their influence is not as great as that of mortals, but this does not mean that they have no influence on the Tao.
Rhapsody, Inc., which controls the fantasy world, has a very high say in this matter, and it is precisely because the Rhapsody boss has observed that there have been more and more fantasies that destroy the world recently, and this negative emotion has even begun to affect the origin of the world.
So he knew that the World Destroyer Alliance was playing a big game of chess, and if he didn't make another move, the opponent was likely to really succeed.
At that time, it will not only destroy these surrounding worlds, but the entire universe, including the mortal world, will be completely wiped out.
So, realizing the existence of the other party's terrible conspiracy, the rhapsodic boss finally decided to participate in this battle.
At the same time as his decision was made, he made a statement that if the Destroyer continued to behave like this, Rhapsody would go all out against them.
At the same time, he also sent the information he collected in the fantasy world to the Reverse Alliance and the Dao Alliance respectively.
At this point, this battle has been swept up in all the worlds outside the mortal world, except for the mortal world.
In order to resist the sneak attack of the World Destroyer Alliance, the rest of the worlds that have not yet defected to the World Destroyer Alliance, all of them have taken refuge in the Tang or the thirty-six sects.
So now, the entire gods are roughly divided into three forces, one of which is the World Destroyer Alliance. The other two parties were the Western cultivators headed by Tang, and the other party was the Eastern cultivators led by the Thirty-Sixth Fold.
Because of its particularity, Rhapsody has not joined any of these three parties for the time being.
An important reason why the Rhapsody Company can stand alone is because of the spatial coordinates and geographical location of the Rhapsody World in reality, only the Rhapsody Boss knows so far, and all the space tunnels leading to the headquarters of the Rhapsody Company are all established by the Rhapsody Boss himself.
Because of this, no one knows the location of the Rhapsody Company, and the mysterious geographical location ultimately determines its magical attributes like a paradise, which is one of the important reasons why they can still be left alone.
In fact, whether it was the previous Dao Alliance or the current World Destroyer Alliance, each of them wanted to find the headquarters of the Rhapsody Company every moment, just because of the huge wealth contained in it that even ordinary cultivators could imagine.
Not to others, just because the headquarters of the Rhapsody Company was laid down by the Rhapsody boss, many wonderful illusions and space formations are of great value.
And with the formation of the tripartite forces and the announcement of the Rhapsody Company's entry into the war, the Destroyer of the World has become less and less flattering, and it seems that everything has once again entered a period of calm.
But everyone knows that this is the last calm before the storm, and after the calm is ushered in a terrible storm that will sweep across the universe, and no one will be left untouched.
Since talking to Dazun about that time, Li Youcai has begun to be even more angry. In order to be able to regenerate his physical body with a drop of blood, Li Youcai read all the relevant physical cultivation methods.
At this time, there were many disasters, but there were also some favorable points, where the various forces were more friendly to each other, especially in the east, where the various forces were unprecedentedly united.
Therefore, when Dazun proposed that Li Youcai's cultivation needed to borrow the knowledge of the treasures of all parties, Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, and even many demon cultivators voluntarily sent a copy of the treasures in the sect, except for the core inheritance that could not be passed on, and most of the remaining classics were all rubbed and sent to the Yuxu Palace.
Therefore, there is no shortage of powerful physical body cultivation methods in Li Youcai's hands, and many of them can be reborn with blood.
However, the blood rebirth in these exercises is completely different from the path that Li Youcai thought of before to split the Yuan Shen into countless parts and then rely on his own particles.
The methods of cultivating the physical body that he saw, or most of the methods cultivated in the gods today, were all to place their primordial gods on the Zheng of the Void Dao
When those cultivators who cultivated the divine power of the flesh body, after asking for the restrictions of the primordial gods, further strengthened their physical bodies, they naturally reached the realm of Liao blood rebirth.
But the final result of such cultivation is at most to be able to achieve the so-called physical sanctification of Yang Jian and Li Nezha.
Their physical body is very strong, and in terms of physical body alone, it is not weaker than the Taoist Sanqing, which is why their cultivation method is called physical sanctification, because they have indeed cultivated the holy body.
But in the end, they still did not become true saints, and the reason is that in the final analysis, the exercises they practiced were all Yuanshen methods in the same vein as Hongjun Dao people.
This method focuses on the primordial spirit, and it is not at all the true sense of the body carrying the Dao or even the Tao, and using the body to become the true holy Rao method.
And the "Gluttonous True Scripture" created by the ancient gods and beasts of Dazunguan, that is, the "Foodie Treasure Book" that Li Youcai later cultivated, is a method for cultivating the physical body in the true sense.
Li Youcai has no true element, mana, or any other energy in his body, only the power of pure qi and blood and the power of the body.
He also didn't specifically train the Yuan Shen, so his Yuan Shen couldn't carry the Great Dao at all, if he wanted to store the Yuan Shen Drama in the Great Dao Void, he had to start over cultivating the method of the Hongjun lineage, and this was not what Dazun expected.
Dazun's cultivation is the Hongjun One Vein Yuan Shen Method, the highest achiever of this set of methods, Hongjun himself cannot achieve the creation of the world.
This is not because Hongjun Dao people don't know how to create the world, nor because Hongjun Dao people are not strong enough, but simply because Hongjun Dao Rao's physical body cannot complete the operation of creation.
Hongjun Daoist specializes in cultivating primordial gods, and he thought that he could still draw energy from the endless chaos to create the world, but this was only theoretical.
Later, in the actual operation, Hongjun Daoist found that his physical body could not withstand so much chaotic energy transformation.
If he were to forcibly create the world, he would probably end up completely destroying his own body.
Although this does not mean that he will die, because his primordial spirit is strong enough to exist alone from the physical body, it will restrict his future development.
And God, who found a different way and carried the Tao with magic weapons, also faced the same problem.
If he wants to forcibly create, it is impossible for the physical body to stay out of it, so that once the physical body collapses, God will face the situation of replacing the physical body with a magic weapon, and although he will not die, it will affect his future cultivation
You must know that even if you reach the realm of transcendence, it is still not the end of your cultivation, Hongjun Dao and God can feel that their strength can still improve, so they are naturally unwilling to affect their future, and even in their eyes, this universe is not as important as their own cultivation.
This is not that the cultivators of the two lineages of God and Hongjun are inferior to the cultivators of the Pangu lineage, but that the emphasis between the three is different.
Creation is more of an explosion of strength when needed, and this is smoother for pure cultivators of the Pangu lineage.
The Yuan Shen cultivators of the Hongjun lineage are better at subtle operations.
As for the gods of the gods, they are better at creating, or transforming the originally irregular chaos into orderly life or things.
There is no one who is higher or lower between the three, but the emphasis is different, so the two strong men of God and Hongjun Dao cannot create the world by themselves.
Because most of the cultivation methods in later generations were influenced by Hongjun Daoists, only God created a set of cultivation methods for natal divine soldiers.
Therefore, among the entire gods, there are very few people who really cultivate the flesh body purely, and even Li Youcai is very likely to be the one who cultivates the flesh body with the highest achievement among the gods today.
In fact, when Da Zeng created the "Gluttonous True Sutra", in a sense, it was because he felt that there would be calamities in the world in the future, and even if he himself cultivated to the realm of Hongjun Daoren, he might not be able to save the world, so he created this exercise.
And in his deduction, this method is cultivated to the extreme, and the achievement must be above himself, so he will rest assured and boldly teach this method to Xiangyun, who is like his own son.
It's just that who would have thought that Xiangyun's Dao Heart was too fragile, and finally ended up with a Dao Heart collapse.
Now that Li Youcai has cultivated to the realm of Xiangyun Daorao, he can no longer get any experience from the insights left by his previous life.
And after looking at all the physical body cultivation methods that he could find, Li You realized that the so-called physical body cultivation before, the kind of physical body cultivation that the Yuan God placed in the Void Dao, was not of much help to him.
Dazun once had with him, if he really wanted to become a pure physical powerhouse like Pangu, then the Yuan Shen could not be separated from the body, but should be more closely integrated with his own physical body.
The kind of blood-dripping rebirth that Li Youcai expected at the beginning was to divide his own deification into countless parts, each of which was full of all the memories, feelings, and souls of Li Youcai.
Then these countless copies of the primordial god are suppressed and stored in every particle of Li Youcai's body, as long as one particle is still alive, Li Youcai is not dead, and he can use the energy between the earth to recreate the body and come back to life.
However, if you want to reach this new blood-dripping rebirth realm, there are many difficulties to overcome, first of all, the division of the primordial gods.
Although Li Youcai had already learned the method of splitting the Yuan Shen from the Rootless Dao people, if he wanted to split his Yuan Shen into a fraction equal to the number of particles in his body, then this technique had to be improved.
The Rootless Dao Lacks Initial Offering is the bloodline method of the Yellow Eel Clan, which is usually born with this race, and is another type of earth creation, although it is simple, but it also contains a trace of the way of the earth.
After Dazun's full deduction, he helped Li Youcai to advance this technique to a new realm, barely able to meet Li Youcai's idea of dividing countless primordial gods.
And what Li Youcai has to do now is to find a way to maximize the strength of his Yuan Shen, so that he can withstand the torture and suffering caused by the separation of Yuan Shen and the consumption of Yuan Shen.
Well, Li Youcai already has the ability to devour other people's souls to improve his own primordial spirit.
The best place to get a lot of souls is Hell for all walks of life.
Whether it is the Nine Shadows and Eighteen Layers of Hell in the East, or the Lucifer Hell in the West, or the Demon Abyss Hell ruled by the Seven Demon Kings, there are many undead souls among them.
In fact, for these hells, the soul can be regarded as their hard currency, and even used as currency most of the time.
Due to the extremely large number of souls that Li Youcai needed, Dazun asked Yun Zhongzi to take Li Youcai to a trip to the Nine Shadows and Eighteen Layers of Hell, wanting to obtain 100,000 divine souls from the Ten Hall Yama Kings to lay the foundation for Li Youcai's next step of cultivation.
The underworld was originally in charge of the Ten Halls of Yama, but later the hungry ghosts and Dao beings in the underworld rebelled.
Originally, with the ability of the Ten Halls of the Underworld, it was not difficult to suppress the rebellion of the hungry ghost Dao beings.
However, it coincided with the establishment of the Reverse Alliance, and the Demon Cultivators, Demon Clan, Jiuli Clan, etc., formed the Reverse Alliance in the East.
At that time, the Four Seas Dragon Clan also rebelled, and when the land was in turmoil, the court and the thirty-six times failed to lend a helping hand in time, making the underground government chaotic for a while by the Hungry Ghost Dao and its allies.
So the Pure Land of Buddhism sent King Rinzang Bodhisattva, who helped the underworld, and finally suppressed the hungry ghosts and beings again.
It was also at that time that the benevolent King Jizo Bodhisattva, seeing the torture of the ghosts in hell, made a grand wish that "Hell is not empty, and I will not become a Buddha", and from the Tsuzo King Bodhisattva to another ruler independent of the Ten Yama Kings.
It stands to reason that the Yama King of the Ten Halls and the Jizo King Bodhisattva should be regarded as allies, and the two should join forces to fight against the beings of the Hungry Ghost Dao.
But the problem is that Buddhism and Taoism have always been in harmony with each other, so the relationship between the King of Jizo Bodhisattva and the King of the Ten Palaces of Yama is also good and bad.
If the Hungry Ghost Dao is strong, the two sides will work together to suppress it, and if it is peaceful and prosperous, the two sides will tear each other down.
This lasted for an endless number of years, and it was not until the advent of the World Destroyer Alliance that the Jizo Bodhisattva and the Ten Points of Hades were truly united in the same heart to resist the external burden
It is worth mentioning that although the beings of the Hungry Ghost Dao have always played the image of evil ghosts, when faced with the threat of the World Destroyer, they did not rebel, but have always been in the same pace with the Ten Points Yama King and the Jizo King Bodhisattva from beginning to end.
In their words: "We hungry ghosts have all died once, and in the past, we only felt that this world was unfair, so we did the opposite." ”
"Now there are people who want to destroy it, it doesn't matter if they have me or not, but they want to destroy the world in which we are rooted, and what are we afraid of him after dying once?"
Therefore, although the underworld also suffered a loss this time, and the rejection by the mortal world caused damage to the world cave where the underworld and hell are located, it also made the forces in the underworld unprecedentedly united.
When Li Youcai and Yun Zhongzi arrived at Linfu, the catastrophe that had already been experienced in the underworld had been suppressed, and the houses and roads had been destroyed a lot.
However, at this time, it was a thriving reconstruction scene, and there was no indication that the underworld had severed its connection with the mortal world and had become a wandering rootless place like the Jade Void Palace.
Yun Zhongzi took Li Youcai and went straight to the ten Hades Palaces in the underworld.
The ten halls of Yama are the first hall of King Qin Guang, the second hall of Chujiang King, the third hall of the Song Emperor, the fourth hall of the King of the Guanguan, the fifth hall of the King of Yama, the sixth hall of the King of Biancheng, the seventh hall of the King of Taishan, the king of Bangdu, the king of the nine halls of equality, and the king of the ten halls of the wheel.
Among them, the king of Yama is the most famous, but in fact, the king of the ten halls of Yama is headed by the king of Qin Guang of the first hall.
It's not the first time Li Youcai has come to the underworld, but this time, he doesn't have time to visit his old friends.
He followed Senior Brother Yun Zhongzi to visit King Qin Guang directly, and when King Qin Guang saw the two second-generation disciples of the Yuxu Palace, he was naturally hospitable and hospitable to the tea seat.
It's just that he listened to Yun Zhongzi's words, and after knowing the intention of the two of them, he also began to make trouble for Huazi.
King Qin Guang: "Don't hide it from the two, if it is not 100,000 divine souls on weekdays, it is a million, and my underworld will also take it, at most, I will have to bear some karma of the chaotic six realms, but this karma is nothing as long as there is a great venerable." ”
"But now, the connection between the underworld and the mortal world has been cut off for the most part, and I think the situation of the Jade Void Palace is similar to ours, but the Jade Void Palace is on the thirty-six highest Da Luo, and there is Grandpa Sanqing in charge, as far as I know, although there are also damage to the color and frustration. ”
"When the two of you came, I also saw the appearance of my underworld, for the underworld to come to the soul is to reserve energy, and the consumption of the soul is to consume the energy of my underworld, and now the connection with the mortal world has been severed, and the soul we can receive is getting less and less, but I am afraid that it will not be long before we will never receive the soul of the human world. ”
"Before, the souls of the dead in our hands were like a great river, I could give you as much as you wanted, but now we only have a stagnant lake, this lake is not, but with a little bit of it, it can be less. ”
"The current reserves of the underworld will still have hundreds of millions of spirits, which is a lot, but the underworld has also been hit hard, and now it needs to be rebuilt. ”
"Rebuilding requires a large amount of Divine Souls, so most of the hundreds of millions of Divine Souls have already specified their uses, and the rest also need to be used as reserve energy and cannot be used casually. ”
"It's not that the king doesn't give face to the Jade Void Palace, and it's not that I don't want a super pitcher on our side. ”
"It's just that 100,000 divine souls are really not something that the king alone can take. ”
"If you really want to, I must convene the Ten Hall Yama Kings, the Jizo King Bodhisattva, and the six Hungry Ghost Dao Ghost Kings to discuss together, and then I can decide whether to give it to you or not. ”
"After all, the Netherworld is now united, and neither party can spend too much divine soul. ”
"It's just that this meeting may take some time, and if the two of you want to use it urgently, the king can pay for the two of you. King Qin Guang looked at the account book in his hand and said reluctantly: "10,000 divine souls." ”
Yun Zhong died with a brow, although the underworld was also under the jurisdiction of the thirty-six levels before, but after all, it was also canonized by the saint.
When the ten halls of the Yama King in the underworld saw the second-generation disciples of the Jade Void Palace, they were basically the same generation.
Now, the underworld must be blessed by Hongjun Dao to avoid being attacked by the Destroyer Alliance.
Therefore, when he saw Hongjun Daorao's second disciples, that is, the two second-generation disciples of Yuxu Palace, King Qin Guang's self-title had dropped from the "king" of the year to the "king" of today, and his attitude was also much more humble, which could be said to have given the two enough face.
But even so, he can still only take out 10,000 divine souls, which shows that the underworld is indeed not rich.
And now that the situation is in crisis, although there are Sanqing sitting in Daluo, it will not be a problem to hold on for hundreds or thousands of years, but the sooner Li Youcai breaks through, the better it will be for the Yuxu Palace and even the entire cultivation realm.
King Qin Guang knew what was at stake, but he also had his own troubles, the underworld itself was not expensive, and now he was asked to spend 100,000 divine souls without holding a meeting of all parties, which was tantamount to putting him on the fire and roasting him, making him also embarrassed.
Knowing that the matter was likely to end here, how could Li Youcai be willing, he looked at King Qin Guang and asked, "King Qin Guang, you are well-informed, is there really no other way?"
King Qin hesitated for a moment, thought for a few seconds, and said: "Mr. Li, it's not that the king doesn't help, but the current gods and goddesses, the situation is similar to the king's here, if you have a way, you can also ask the Lucifer Hell in the West, the Abyss Hell and Purgatory of the Seven Demon Commanders, and other death worlds." ”
"Everyone is the same, they all live on their old books, and to be honest, the 10,000 souls I can give you are still saved from my own daily expenses. ”
