Chapter 856: Refining the Heart
As soon as Jingchen entered the formation, a wave of anger rushed to his face, and when he looked closely, all that came into his eyes was a dark red, and the sky seemed to be condensed by the blood of countless demonic beasts, and the thick bloody aura was extremely pungent.
"What is this?" Jingchen exclaimed when he saw this hellish scene.
"The Ten Thousand Beast Blood Array, as the name suggests, is made up of tens of thousands of demonic beasts' blood, and these demonic beasts will be subjected to extremely cruel torture to accumulate the resentment in their hearts before they die, and when they are tortured to death, this resentment will gather together to form this earth-shattering aura. Rios explained slowly, a hint of disgust in his tone.
"It's so vicious!?" Jingchen was surprised by the method of this blood array, and felt that it was very evil.
"This blood array, once a formation master in order to resurrect his lover and research, unfortunately, people can't be resurrected after death, even if he has the ability to steal the sky and change the sun, he can't change the law of life and death, and in the end, even he himself can't accept the reality of not being able to resurrect his lover, and he died in this array, that big array is also one of the extraordinary fierce arrays. There was a hint of obscurity in Rios's tone, as if he was feeling sorry for the warlock, but also disgusted.
"Oh......" After listening to Rios's words, Jingchen suddenly didn't know what to say, he always felt that Rios had some kind of connection with the person who laid down the battle, but Rios didn't want to say it, and he didn't want to ask.
"Elder Li, should we ...... now?"
"This big array is nothing, it's just arranged here, it's a little weird, isn't it ......" Rios didn't continue, because at this moment, Jingchen's eyes gradually glowed a strange red, and his body seemed to have begun to enter a wild form.
"Oops! How did I forget this stubble!" Ríos's voice suddenly sounded, but Jingchen kicked the ground with his feet as if he hadn't heard it, and jumped forward.
"Jingchen!" Rios was in a hurry, but no matter how he shouted, Jingchen still ran towards the center of the big array with an expressionless face.
The further into the formation, the more the fierce aura became, Jing Chen's clothes had been torn into rags one by one by the fierce aura that seemed to be like substance, and on Jing Chen's body, there were also blood marks, for all this Jing Chen was unconscious, and he still rushed towards the center of the big array.
"Woohoo...... Whew......"
At this moment, the originally dark red sky, the color was already dark and black, the roar of the demonic beast before death was endless, and Jingchen's body was covered with blood.
"Poof!"
Jingchen spurted out a mouthful of blood, although he was delirious at the moment, but in the face of this kind of substance-like anger, his body was still a little unbearable.
This mouthful of blood spit out, Jingchen's consciousness seemed to have begun to blur, and the pace that was originally running began to slow down gradually.
"Buzz!"
Just as Jingchen fell to the ground, a strange sound suddenly sounded, and a silver light flew out from the ring on his finger, shooting right into Jingchen's eyebrows.
Jingchen, who had already entered the wild form, gradually returned to his normal appearance, lying there calmly, as if he was asleep.
"Huh?" said Ríos' voice, "This ring can break the anger that infects the heart of the wild?"
Originally gathered around Jingchen, the aura visible to the naked eye seemed to be limited by some force at this moment, and at a distance of one meter from Jingchen, a semicircle was formed, and the silver ring was also shining with silver at the moment, and the seemingly faint silver glow made those aura unable to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
When Jingchen opened his eyes again, the world in front of him was no longer a dark red, but a deep purple, the color that seemed to be the color of blood coagulation, those anger visible to the naked eye, unexpectedly changed shape with his getting up, but no matter how it changed, it was still a meter away from him, and the silver ring was still flashing with a faint silver glow, it was this seemingly faint silver glow that made these anger unable to get close to Jing Chen.
"Awake?" said Rios' voice.
"Hmm......" Jingchen responded, at this moment he felt a sharp pain in his body, and when he looked down, he saw that his body was already dark red, and the blood flowing out of the wound had already coagulated into a blood flail at this moment, and it looked quite miserable.
"This is still the Ten Thousand Beasts Blood Array?"
"Well, to be exact, this is already the center of the Blood Array. Ríos's voice was full of helplessness, originally just through this big array, there was no need to come to the position in this array, the center of the general formation is the place where it is most well-protected and has the most killing moves, after all, this is the core of the big array, the location of the eye of the array, and once the eye of the formation is broken, the big array will not be broken.
"Old, what happened to me just now? I felt a voice calling me, as if ...... Parents?" Jingchen wondered, recalling the feeling just now, as if when he was a child, Sedum and Yuelu called him home for dinner.
"Alas, it's also that I forgot about this stubble, it won't be like this when people come in the blood array of ten thousand beasts, but you have a wild heart, and this is the result of gathering the resentment of ten thousand beasts, so you are confused, fortunately you have this ring, otherwise ......" Rios sighed and did not continue, with a hint of happiness in his tone.
After listening to Rios's words, Jingchen took a closer look at the ring on his hand, at this moment, it was still shining with a faint silver glow, but there was nothing strange about it.
"Then we are now?" Jingchen is not a person who drills the horns of the bull, since he can't see anything, he doesn't think about it anymore.
"It's all here, I'm afraid it's difficult to go back the same way, it's better to go to that array to see, maybe there will be something, the familiar breath I feel seems to be there. ”
As soon as Rios said this, Jingchen seemed to hear the voice he had heard in the ruined hall again, but this time it was much clearer, and without thinking about it, Jingchen raised his legs and walked towards the sight.
The further you go, the deeper the color of the sky becomes, and finally it has already turned black, but Jingchen has the support of the silver rays, but he can also distinguish the direction, and after about a quarter of an hour, Jingchen has come to a high ground, which is obviously much higher than the surroundings, and a vague altar-like stone platform can be seen on the high ground, but the place where Jingchen is standing is still twenty or thirty meters away from the altar, and it is not clear to see.
"Huh?" said Rios, who seemed to see the altar as well.
"What's the matter, Elder Li?" Hearing Rios's voice, Jingchen stopped, this strange array was full of danger, and he didn't dare to break into it.
"It's nothing, as far as I can remember, the eyes of this Ten Thousand Beast Blood Array don't need to be arranged as an altar, unless it's ......," Rioston paused and continued, "unless it's to summon or resurrect something." ”
"Summoning or resurrection?
"Although the array master failed to resurrect his lover, he resurrected a demon, and he used all his strength to kill the demon in the array, and finally died of exhaustion and unable to resurrect his lover. Rios said solemnly.
After a long silence, Ríos continued, "Let's go, let's go and have a look. ”
It didn't take long for Jingchen to come to the altar, only to see that the entire altar was three meters high, about five meters in diameter, all made of animal bones, and was illuminated by the silver rays, and there was a white light that looked very terrifying, stepping on the bone steps, Jingchen came to the altar, the altar was very flat, except for a corpse that seemed to be a human in the middle, there was nothing.
"This is ......" Seeing this corpse, Rios seemed to think of something, and said in a somewhat hurried voice, "Quick, get closer!"
Feeling Rios's anxious mood, Jingchen took a few steps to the side of the body and slowly squatted down.
"Little junior brother?!" Rios exclaimed.
"Little junior brother, is that the one who died in that strange wood?" If so, this corpse is too well preserved, and after ten thousand years, the corpse still shows no signs of decay.
"Well, as for this corpse, it won't rot for ten thousand years, it's just because he has another identity, the next Holy Son of the Wild Temple. Rios explained slowly, paused, and continued, "He is also like you, he has a wild heart, and those of you who have a wild heart are qualified to inherit the Holy Son, and anyone who has a heart like a wild heart and a heart of life has an extremely long lifespan, and if the body is not maliciously destroyed after death, it can generally not decay for ten thousand years." ”
"How can there be such a thing?" Jing Chen had heard of this kind of function of the Wild Heart for the first time.
"Alas......" Rios sighed, "It is precisely this function that people with these potentials are often targeted by those who practice undead magic, because as long as they successfully invade your soul and wipe you out, then they can almost live forever in the world, and the inexhaustible body and the eternal soul fire, my little junior brother was afraid that it would be ......" Rios did not continue, but sighed.
"It seems that the relationship between this Behemoth Empire and the Nadoron family ......" Rios did not continue, but fell into deep thought.
"The Duolong family?" Jing Chen struggled to recall the surnames of those big families in his memory, making sure that he had never heard of such a big family that had existed for tens of thousands of years.
After a while, Rios said, "This Duolong family is the beast master family back then, and a large number of hallucinatory trees are often planted outside their family, and there are also so many such trees planted on the periphery of the former capital of the giant beast empire, and they are both forces that started by demonic beasts, it seems that the two must have something to do with each other, you first put the body of my little junior brother in the space ring, and then we will look for an exit." ”
Listening to Rios's words, Jingchen stretched out his hands and was about to hug the corpse, but suddenly the corpse seemed to disappear, and Jingchen's hands actually crossed over the corpse, and the corpse was like an illusion.
"This ......" Before Jingchen finished speaking, a white light flashed, Jingchen had disappeared above the altar, the sky in the big array was still dark, and this altar made of white bones was still sitting there, on the altar, the body of Senior Brother Rios was still lying there quietly, if you didn't touch it, it was difficult to find, it was just an illusion......
"Woohoo...... ......"The roars of all kinds of demonic beasts filled the entire space, this was an unknown space, there was no light, suddenly, a white light flashed, and the roars of the original demonic beasts disappeared instantly, as if they had never appeared, the white light dispersed, and I saw that a person appeared inside was Jingchen.
"...... old man?"
"Hmm...... It's kind of weird. Rios said in a solemn tone.
"What's wrong?" Aside from the darkness and silence, Jingchen didn't feel anything wrong.
"The anger here is very subtle and strong, but ordinary people can't feel it. Rios said slowly.
"Angry?" Hearing Rios say this, Jingchen was stunned, he didn't feel any anger, but this place was a little surprisingly quiet, and there was no trace of light, not to mention that he couldn't see his five fingers, and he couldn't even see his hands.
"This kind of thing is called a compound array, with the help of two mutually reinforcing arrays, the magic can even reach a seamless realm, but this auxiliary array does not look artificial. ”
"Wasn't it arranged by someone?, could it be a natural formation?" Jingchen exclaimed, if this was a formation arranged by someone, it would be so hidden, it would inevitably kill a lot.
"Not really, it's a bit like it's evolved on its own, a world of its own. Rios's tone was a little solemn.
"What kind of thing is this?" Jingchen is like the best student, as long as there is something he doesn't understand, it has become a habit to ask Rios for advice.
"This involves another thing related to the array warlock, the heaven and earth aura, this heaven and earth aura is a very wonderful thing, the array warlock by mobilizing the heaven and earth aura in a place, to rehearse the formation, but this heaven and earth aura is not a soldier after all, with the passage of time, the formation of the array warlock's base mark gradually dimmed, this heaven and earth aura will become a free state again, but after all, this formation has been laid down, and the heaven and earth aura has no independent consciousness, so it will be in or near the formation, gathered into an independent space, this is self-evolution, but also the magic of nature。 Rios explained.
"It seems that this aura really has spirituality, so why is there no other profession on the continent that can use this aura?" Jingchen has always been very curious about this, after all, the aura is so powerful, I don't know how many geniuses have been born in tens of thousands of years, how can no one master other ways to use it.
"It's not that no one has tried this, and in the end it all ended in failure, this aura is generated by heaven and earth, but people themselves can't, and they can't use a method similar to the professional meditation of the mage department to inhale those aura into the body, even the array warlock can only borrow the aura in nature in some special ways, and cannot be stored in the body. Listening to Rios's words, Jingchen guessed that Rios might have the same idea as himself back then, and sure enough, he only heard Rios continue, "Back then, I also thought like you, unlike you, I tried many methods, even some secret methods, I also used experiments, and found that only the formation can resonate with the aura of this heaven and earth, and nothing else works, so I gave up later." Rios sighed.
"Whew......" A sound of breaking the air came.
Jing Chen was startled, the habit he developed when he was fighting against Sedum, he flashed slightly, only to feel something scratching his skin, "Who?!"
After a long time, there was still no response, Jingchen frowned slightly, he couldn't hear any sound when he listened attentively, and touched the place where the thing had been scratched just now, and a little blood had oozed out at this moment.
"Be careful, that thing doesn't seem to be a living thing. Rios reminded.
"Not a living thing?undead?" Jingchen said with some surprise, although he had heard some things about the undead when he was a child, but after all, in the Holy Spirit Empire, the undead magicians of the country where the Holy See Holy City is located are very rare, and the undead and the Holy Light are inherently mutually restrictive, although the two have nothing to do with each other, they still try to stay away as much as possible.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's a beast soul. After a pause, Rios continued, "This Ten Thousand Beast Blood Array has accumulated too much demonic beast's grievances before death, and this is the place where the aura gathers, and it is not surprising that those demonic beast souls that have no consciousness have evolved into beast souls. ”
"What is a beast soul? not the soul of a demonic beast?" Jing Chen really didn't think of the difference between the two.
"After the death of the monster, that is, a trace of the remnant soul, most of them will pass over time, disappear in nature, but this beast soul is different, just like some powerful magicians, after they die, they can still rely on obsession to exist in the world, waiting for the undead magician to resurrect it, although the price of resurrection is the loss of freedom, but in their eyes it is better than dying, this beast soul is similar to it, that is, after the death of some powerful monsters, they are unwilling to die, and keep their obsessions, waiting for the resurrection. Ríos's words were somewhat disdainful, after all, life in this way is not as pleasant as death.
"Whoosh ......" was another sound of breaking the air.
"Hum ......" Just when the beast soul was about to hit Jingchen's body, the silver ring suddenly flashed a light, and the beast soul was actually trapped in that silver ray.
Jingchen looked into the silver mang, and saw a pitch-black thing rushing left and right in the light, but no matter how desperately it collided, it couldn't break through the barrier of the silver mang, and gradually the beast soul seemed to have lost its strength, lying on its stomach in the silver mang, no longer moving.
......Just as Jingchen wanted to get closer to see the thing, a deafening beast roar sounded.
"What!" Jingchen was startled, but it was dark all around, and the sound was like thousands of demonic beasts galloping, but when he got closer, there was no sound.
"None of these beast souls have any attack power, but they are all real beast souls, and they are a good place to cultivate your wild heart. Ríos's words made Jingchen not know what to say.
"Don't have attack power?" Jing Chen reached out and touched the skin that had just been scratched, and was suddenly slightly stunned, the skin did not have a trace of being scratched, and he did feel pain and bleeding just now.
"Just now, you just fell for the illusion of the mirage beast soul, it is not real, your wild form needs to be in a place where there are many monsters, by infecting the wild qi on the monster, in order to evolve to a higher level, and the beast soul here is the best object, you can understand the true meaning of "beast" by feeling their beastliness, and you can have better development in the future. Rios paused for a moment and continued, "The reason why I say that the beast souls here do not have attack power is because there is enough spiritual energy here, and there will be no fierce souls, and ordinary beast souls have no attack power. ”
Jing Chen nodded, "Then how should I integrate into this beast soul?" This kind of cultivation method, Jing Chen was simply unheard of, if it wasn't for Rios saying it, he really couldn't believe it.
"According to the records in this secret method, you only need to lead this beast soul into the body to refin, but the beast soul into the body you have a wild heart, you should be able to bear it, but you will inevitably have to suffer a little. ”
"But it's not a bad thing to suffer hardship, this beast soul was bullied in every way before it was born, although now it has been reborn as a spirit by the aura here, without the original anger, but it is also unruly and untamable, and it can be tempered into the body, which can not only give you a deeper understanding of the origin of the beast, but also make your willpower have a lot of improvement, and more importantly, if you are lucky, you may be able to obtain some kind of natural skill. ”
Although Rios seemed to be very relaxed when he said this, it gave Jingchen a very serious feeling, as if a strict master was asking his disciple to make a very important choice.
"I know!" As soon as Rios's words fell, Jingchen agreed without thinking about it.
"Hmm......" Rios replied, but as if he was thinking about something, he didn't speak for a long time.
"Elder Li?" After a while, Jingchen was a little puzzled.
"I was there, and suddenly I remembered something from before, nothing. Rios's tone was a little heavy, obviously remembering something.
"Jingchen, you remember, no matter what you meet or see for a while, you must keep your heart, don't be confused by anything, and remember. ”
"Hmm!" Jingchen replied in a firm tone.
"Ready, here we go. As soon as Rios's words fell, I saw that this dark space, which was originally out of sight, gradually appeared a glimmer of light, and the light did not know where it came from, and where it shot to, in a hazy way, Jingchen seemed to see a lot of demonic beasts lying meekly on the grass, whether it was a huge carnivorous demonic beast, or a relatively tame herbivorous demonic beast, they all coexisted harmoniously together.
Jingchen frowned slightly, he was still a little confused about this kind of somewhat weird, but extremely real picture.
"The aura of heaven and earth, condense the illusion, refine the soul of the beast, and return to the roots. Rios's voice came from the sky, but this sound was like thunder, and it sounded like thunder at the moment, which made Jingchen's ears buzz, but this thunderous sound also reminded Jingchen that this was an illusion conjured up by the beast souls, not real, so he could integrate into it, but he couldn't be deeply immersed in it.
Jingchen slowly came to the middle of those demonic beasts, those demonic beasts did not have any discomfort because of Jingchen's arrival, still lazily lying on the grass, or licking their fur, or scratching each other's itching, a calm and peaceful scene, suddenly, a tiger-shaped demonic beast rushed towards a demonic butterfly tiger, the demonic butterfly's reaction was not unpleasant, but it was still a step slower, but the demonic butterfly did not catch the tiger-shaped demonic beast, but penetrated through the gap between its claws.
Seeing this, Jing Chen couldn't help but be slightly stunned, on the surface, it seemed that this was just a frolic, but whether it was the swiftness of the tiger-shaped demonic beast, or the contingency strategy of the demonic butterfly after being taken the lead, all of them gave Jingchen a sense of fluency, as if the action was the most in line with the natural streamline action, when the tiger-shaped demonic beast flew up, there was no mud and water, and when the demonic butterfly dodged, it was a clever way to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness.
The back and forth between the two seems simple, but it gives Jingchen a feeling of endless mysteries......
