Chapter 2: The Sword of Soul Power
Seeing the figures of many ghosts shaking because of excitement, the old man nodded with satisfaction, and then continued:
"As for the Cloud Capital Domain, it will be the place where you will be reborn, and you will know when the time comes. Alright, future talents, you can get started, and I look forward to your great performance in a month's time. In addition, your cultivation place is in this square, and everyone will be circled in a circle, and whoever goes out of the realm will be scattered!"
After the old man in the east finished speaking, he and the other three people once again sketched the magic seal to disperse the 10,000 people, and circled a circle with a diameter of two meters for each person, and a light tablet nearly 100 meters high and dozens of meters wide flashed out at the high platform of the square, with the mantra of the "Soul Power Sutra" and the map of the basic swordsmanship "Ten Styles of Falling Leaves".
Long Yu sat quietly, a little depressed, he seemed to feel that he should only be fourteen or fifteen years old when he died in the tornado, and it seemed that his cultivation was not very high.
But the loser will lose even the chance of reincarnation, only success, and only success! Long Yu put away those worries, and gritted his teeth firmly, since everyone is on the same starting line, now only by practicing hard can he win a glimmer of life.
"Soul Power Sutra" has a total of five layers, it is a collection of three souls and seven spirits to form soul power, use soul power condensation to control, absorb other soul power to strengthen their soul power, if you practice with the soul body state, it can play a double effect with half the effort. When Long Yu saw the last corner of the light monument, he was a little surprised, and it said that he didn't know where he had reached the level of cultivation in a month: two people who had cultivated to the fifth layer, and 1,300 people who had cultivated to the fourth layer.
Long Yu looked at the back of the final map of "Ten Styles of Falling Leaves", and found that there were 1,100 people who could cultivate swordsmanship to perfection in a month. He secretly thought in his heart, it seems that the cultivation of the Ten Fallen Leaves is relatively simple, and there should be not a few 10,000 people here who can successfully cultivate, and the cultivation level of the Soul Power Pivot Sutra has become particularly important, because even if his own sword technique is great to defeat the opponent, but the cultivation level of the opponent's Soul Power Pivot Sutra is high, the final result may still be counterattacked.
Looking around, seeing that the other ghosts were already beginning to cultivate the Soul Power Pivot Sutra, Long Yu weighed it in his heart, and finally decided to practice the first four styles of the Ten Fallen Leaf Styles first.
Compared with death, the inability of the soul to be born is more terrifying, but what is more frightening than this is the disappearance of the soul, because in that case, the last trace of one's sense of living space will disappear. Faced with the choice of regaining new life or disappearing into invisibility, less than 10,000 ghosts in the square wanted to seize that glimmer of hope and cultivate hard to compete for the last three places.
After Long Yu practiced the first four of the ten styles of falling leaves in his consciousness a few times, he felt that these four styles of swordsmanship were quite simple, as long as he practiced with the sword, he should be able to fully master it in less than an hour, and this progress made him even wonder if he was a genius in the Heavenly Spirit Continent before he died.
When a ghost asked for a sword, the four old men seemed to sit still, and there was no response.
Without a sword in his hand, how to practice a sword, Long Yu fell into distress, looking at his translucent body, he was a little lost, now he was just a wandering void body, and he couldn't use the real thing at all, could he just give up like this, but he thought that he wanted to live, to find out what kind of place this Cloud Capital Domain was, and what kind of connection it had with the Heavenly Spirit Continent? Why did he come here, and can he leave here? What are his lost memories, can they be recovered?....
Countless questions flashed through Long Yu's consciousness, and he was also very strange how he suddenly remembered something again.
He is not reconciled, he wants to figure everything out!
I looked at the last few formulas of the Ten Fallen Leaves for a while, and found that if there was no sword in my hand, it would be impossible to practice at all. Shaking his head secretly, he had to unwillingly look away from the sword spectrum and look at the soul power pivot next to him.
The five layers of the soul power pivot are the pure soul, the soul gathering, the condensing soul, the royal soul, and the soul devouring, it turns out that this soul power pivot is actually an excellent exercise for soul cultivation, first it is the baptism and aggregation of the soul, and then the formation of soul power and condensation and formation, and can change at will, the imperial envoy, and finally can devour other soul power to strengthen their soul power.
Long Yu suddenly realized, it turned out that these nearly 10,000 people first reached the third level of soul condensation through the cultivation of the soul power pivot meridian, and then the soul power condensation sword, and the sword of the soul power cultivated the Ten Falling Leaves Style.
The first of the seven spirits is called the corpse dog, the second is called the Fu Ya, the third is called the bird, the fourth is the thief, the fifth is non-poisonous, the sixth is called the defilement, and the seventh is the stinky lung. What surprised Long Yu was that not only did his literacy function not disappear, but also a lot of martial arts common sense did not disappear, but this also made him feel even more urgent, after all, among the nearly 10,000 people, there should be many people who were stronger than his cultivation in his previous life.
Long Yu clung to his thoughts, abandoned distracting thoughts, and used his thoughts to find the first corpse dog, ran it more than ten times, let it merge with his thoughts, and then used the fused thoughts to fuse the second spirit with the same method, and then the fetal light of the three souls, and then the order was the third, fourth, second, fifth, sixth, third, and seventh spirits. Finally, with the idea of fusing the three souls and seven spirits, he ran forty-nine times in the order of fusion, and then stripped the mind from the soul, and a solid white mist the size of an egg indicated that the soul power had been formed, and the second layer of the soul power pivot meridian had also been successfully cultivated.
Could it be that he is a genius? Long Yu breathed lightly, seeing that the ghosts around him were all working hard to cultivate, and realized that he was happy a little earlier, and until the end, it was difficult to determine the advantages and inferiorities, so he calmed down and continued to cultivate.
Half a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and some of the nearly 10,000 ghost souls have begun to let out smug laughter, they have already cultivated to the third level of the soul power sutra to condense the soul, and some people have even been able to condense the soul power into a sword, and they can't wait to start cultivating the Ten Falling Leaf Forms. There are also some people in the ghost who have been stopping their progress and sighing helplessly, as if they had anticipated their tragic end, of course, more people are unwilling to continue to cultivate desperately, desperately accumulating strength for the hope of survival.
Long Yu was not discouraged, he still cultivated step by step according to his plan, in fact, he could already impact the third level of the soul power pivot scripture, but he always believed that speed was not enough, and decided to further gather the soul power, and then release the soul power to condense the soul outside the body. These days, in addition to cultivating the Soul Power Sutra, he has also skillfully evolved the Ten Falling Leaf Styles in his mind.
Nearly 10,000 ghosts have only three of them have a chance to see the light of day in the end, this cruelty is enough to make the ghosts who have died once collapse, for more than ten days, nearly 10,000 ghosts have almost no communication, everyone is cultivating hard for survival, for fear of falling behind others, losing the opportunity to be reborn, and the selfishness of human nature is suddenly completely exposed at the critical juncture of survival.
During this period, hearing that the two ghost bodies closest to him seemed to be hindered in their cultivation, and sighed all the time, Long Yu was a little unbearable, and exchanged his cultivation experience with them, but he didn't expect the two to break through the shackles quickly, but their next words made Long Yu helplessly sigh the cruelty of this test and the ugliness of human nature.
"Thank you brother for your advice, but we will do our best in the next test, and we can't and won't give up in the slightest, brother can do it himself!" said one of the ghosts helplessly, while the other sneered slightly.
There were no reference objects such as the sun, moon and stars, and nearly 10,000 ghosts didn't know how much time had passed, until this day, a countdown square appeared on the soul tablet, reminding 10,000 ghosts that there were still twelve days left to be assessed.
Long Yu tried to extract his mind from the soul power light cluster, and then slowly used his mind to control the light cluster to drift out of his body, although the process was very difficult, he still patiently persevered, until he was too weak to hold on, and then withdrew the light ball into his body.
In this way, it continued to be released and withdrawn, and it took nearly two days for Long Yu to finally be able to send and receive freely, and the light cluster was able to hold on to a stick of incense outside the body.
When the countdown on the soul tablet showed eight days, Long Yu's soul light group had been able to hold on to it for an hour outside his body, he tried to make the soul light group form a two-foot-long sword, and constantly made the sword solidify, a whole day passed, Long Yu held the soul power sword in his hand, waved it a few times, and was very satisfied.
When the countdown on the soul tablet showed five days, Long Yu could already use his soul power sword to perform a complete set of fallen leaf ten-style swordsmanship, and the soul power pivot had successfully reached the fourth layer of the imperial soul.
Due to the fact that the Ten Styles of Falling Leaves are the basic swordsmanship and the moves are simple, when the countdown on the soul tablet shows three days, Long Yu has already practiced the swordsmanship to perfection, but the soul power pivot has never been able to find the way to the fifth layer. He discarded distracting thoughts, carefully recalled the mantra of the fifth layer of soul devouring, and also tried to make the soul power light cluster change into various shapes, and in the end, in addition to the soul power sword, his favorite was to transform the soul power into a light dragon, when the sword technique was completed and the soul power pivot was stagnant, he simply led the light dragon to play and improve his ability to resist the soul.
When the countdown on the soul tablet showed two days, Long Yu was controlling the light dragon to play, one dodged, his body just leaned back, and his eyes inadvertently swept over the first four types of willow catkins on the soul tablet. He tried to simulate the accidental scene just now, so many times, and finally evolved the four forms into a new one, he named it "Wind Moving Catkins", according to the same method and continuous attempts, he fused the three styles of falling leaves, falling leaves drifting, and falling leaves dancing into one style named "Wind Moving Fallen Leaves", and fused the three styles of falling leaves butterfly dance, fallen leaves returning to their roots, and falling leaves cascading into one style named "Falling Leaves and Stacked Waves".
On the last day of the one-month period, Long Yu has completely mastered the ten types of fallen leaves and the three types that he fused into, he tried to divide the soul power into two, forming a light dragon and a sword of soul power, I don't know if his soul ability is super strong, or his soul power is extremely strong, I thought it was a difficult thing, Long Yu's mind flashed, and a light sword and a light dragon appeared in front of him, and his mind could also be divided into two, controlled separately, which made him overjoyed. After practicing for a while, the light dragon and the light saber inadvertently collided together, and he quickly sent out a thought of becoming one, the light dragon and the light saber really coincided, and he kept letting the light sword and the light dragon separate and combine, that feeling was wonderful.
When the one-month deadline came, the square where nearly 10,000 ghosts gathered suddenly lit up, and the four white-bearded old men in four directions opened their eyes, and as the magic seal in their hands shot out, one streamer of light poured down, Long Yu suddenly felt that he couldn't help but float to one place, and when he fell, he found that he and about five hundred people were surrounded by a light mask.
At the end of the first test, only the top 4,000 will have a chance to continue, and what awaits them will be a cruel soul, and for the top 4,000, it is another chance to become stronger and a further opportunity to reappear in the world. Some souls are destined to become the cornerstone of others' strengthening!
