For this bead to feedback energy back, Shen Tong has long been used to it. When he was in that secret room, he had used beads countless times to cultivate, constantly devouring one soul body after another, in order to improve his cultivation, and in a short period of time, he reached the peak of the sixth layer of the "Returning to the Gods", and successfully practiced the secret technique of out-of-body souls. It's just that Shen Tong hadn't fused Li Ping's memory and divine sense at the beginning, and he didn't know that even Li Ping didn't know anything about the beads around his neck.

At first, Shen Tong thought that this bead was originally used to assist in cultivating the exercises, so he didn't feel any surprise or surprise. Just like the Qiankun Ruyi bag on his waist, he is not surprised to see all kinds of magical objects in this world.

After coming to the spirit realm, after learning that the black mist that had been devoured by him was actually the souls of living people after death, Shen Tong stopped the way that could allow him to quickly improve his cultivation. For him, every time he devours a soul body, it is like killing a person, and that great psychological burden makes him always restless. After all, we have been living in a peaceful and civilized society, and we have received an education of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith!

These days, Shen Tong has been busy collecting information about the underworld, thinking about how to go to the underworld to reunite with his wife, and gradually forgetting about the bead.

He never thought that the bead on his neck, which looked dark and ordinary, would have such a magical effect, not only could it help him absorb the negative emotions in those divine consciousness seas, but now it could even absorb ghosts. The sharp ghost creature who had made the three Heavenly Star Valley monks go through a lot of trouble before, and even almost got injured, was actually sucked into the beads in vain when they almost killed him on the spot, which was really incredible.

However, Shen Tong really didn't have the heart to think about these things at the moment, the energy that was surging in the beads like a flood at this moment really made him uncomfortable with the heat all over his body, especially in the Divine Consciousness Sea and the dantian, and he felt like he was about to be blown up.

So many times before, although the energy returned from the beads was pure, the amount was not huge, and after being absorbed by the divine consciousness and the body, it was very enjoyable, and there was a warm feeling all over the body. But now, that huge and pure energy is constantly impacting all parts of his body, making Shen Tong feel like he will explode and die at any time, and what's even worse is that the energy in the bead is still surging in, as if endless.

At this time, Shen Tong was like a person who had been hungry for a long time and suddenly went to eat a buffet.

Faced with a dazzling array of delicacies and a mountain of delicacies, what greeted him may not be a good life, but a terrible end.

Shen Tong, who fell to the ground, struggled to get up and sit cross-legged, eagerly, the good qualities he cultivated in the army played a role in stabilizing his mind, and at the moment of life and death, he forced himself to calm down and think carefully about countermeasures. Immediately, he thought of the two cultivation recipes of "Returning to the Gods" and "Gathering Spirits". When he was in the secret room, he learned the content by mistake, which made his life trajectory change amazingly.

Later, from Li Ping's memory, I learned that these two methods were the two most common Qi cultivation period cultivators' introductory mental methods on the West Pole Continent today, and they were the basic methods that every monk had to cultivate.

As for the difference between these two formulas, it is that they correspond to the cultivation of the two places. "Returning to the Gods" is a spell specially used to cultivate divine consciousness and enhance the spiritual soul of monks, and "Gathering Spirits" is the cultivation of physical spiritual power. These two spells can be said to complement each other, one is indispensable, there is no mana but not enough divine consciousness to drive, naturally it will not be effective, and empty divine consciousness without spiritual power, it is rootless duckweed, there is no basis for play.

As for the level of the spiritual realm divided into monk levels, it refers to the cultivation level of the "Gathering Soul Formula", that is, the amount of spiritual power stored in the body.

Back then, the reason why he cultivated the "Gathering Spirit Technique" in the secret room without any effect was because Li Ping's body was originally a sixth-layer cultivation in the Qi cultivation period, and he had been stuck in that bottleneck and failed to break through, so no matter how he tried the seventh-layer exercises, he couldn't have the slightest effect, and he couldn't feel the slightest feeling of spiritual power entering his body. At that time, I only thought that that exercise was not suitable for me, but later I found out that it was because Li Ping's own body had not been able to store the spiritual power that needed to be accumulated in the seventh layer.

But "Returning to the Gods" is different! his soul body itself contains spiritual roots, and there is an innate soul element. Staying in the human world without aura is naturally like a dry pond, with an empty pond and no water, it will always be empty. Now after coming to the spirit realm, he felt the nourishment of the aura of heaven and earth, and his natural divine consciousness was also greedily absorbing the essence of the aura, constantly growing himself, which allowed him to make amazing progress in cultivating the "Returning to the Divine Technique", and finally reached the peak of the sixth layer.

These days, Shen Tong has been collecting information while cultivating these two spells, but what made him a little disappointed was that Li Ping's body didn't know what was going on, after the aura entered the body, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and he couldn't make any waves at all, and the progress of his cultivation was almost imperceptible.

Now, those two huge energies continued to impact his Zhihai and Dantian, almost all of a sudden they filled all parts of his body, and at the critical moment, Shen Tong couldn't help but try to run the six-layer exercises, and began to continuously attract spiritual energy into his body, wanting to try to integrate the two huge energies with himself. At the very least, try to channel these energies to work, otherwise, the energy in the beads will continue to pour into his body, and there is a possibility that it will soon burst.

With the operation of the exercises, the spiritual energy from the outside world began to pour into his body, and the spiritual power and divine consciousness in his body also slowly operated, and began to rotate and condense, constantly compress and accumulate.

However, although the operation of the exercises seemed to have some effect, compared to the huge energy, such a speed was too slow, and the weak spiritual power itself could only pull the surrounding energy, and it was impossible to make the huge energy fully operational. In his eagerness, Shen Tong was really helpless. However, immediately a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and the ghost sent the gods, he took out the books in the Qiankun Ruyi bag, and looked at the exercises on the seventh layer of the "Returning to the Gods".

A new exercise operation schema and aura absorption route appeared in front of Shen Tong's eyes, the content of this page was actually quite familiar to him, after all, whether it was Li Ping or himself, they had all looked at the exercises of the seventh layer countless times, but no matter how hard they tried before, they were never able to pull the aura into the body. In other words, his sixth-level exercises have never been completed, and he has not been able to build a solid and solid foundation for subsequent exercises.

It's like building a tall tower, and if you want to build the tower tall and big, obviously the tower itself is particularly important. As long as the base and the bottom part of the tower are built wide and solid enough, the construction of the next layer can be started on top.

It's a pity that Shen Tong and Li Ping have never been able to take that step, and they have always been stuck on the threshold of the sixth layer. As for the reason, don't say they can't figure it out, it was Li Ping's father Li Xian back then, and the monk in the late stage of foundation building with great powers couldn't figure it out.

However, at this critical juncture of life and death, the seventh-layer exercises were once again activated, but Shen Tong no longer had any sluggishness and jerkiness, and a spiritual power that was far more powerful than before was absorbed into his body from the outside, and immediately operated in a wild way far beyond the previous one. With the operation of the exercises, as the spiritual power from the outside world entered the body and continuously dragged the spiritual power in the body to operate, the feeling that the body was about to be crowded finally disappeared a lot.

The appearance of this situation also made Shen Tong secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, all his energy and thoughts were devoted to the operation and cultivation of the exercises. At the beginning, the spiritual power entering the body was still a little jerky, but as time went by, with the continuous operation of the formula, the jerky feeling gradually disappeared, becoming more and more flexible, and the external spiritual power that continued to pour into the body was running at the same time, it was also running with the energy transmitted into the body in the beads, and was gradually absorbed by the sea of divine consciousness.

Shen Tong's divine consciousness ascended rapidly at an astonishing speed, and the two endless streams of energy fused together, instantly turning into his own divine consciousness.

The feeling of swelling in his mind disappeared, but a comfortable warmth rose in his mind, and the originally painful look on his face disappeared. However, although the danger in the sea of divine consciousness was temporarily lifted, the feeling of blockage in the dantian was becoming more and more serious, and Shen Tong, who had already had previous experience, immediately separated a wisp of divine consciousness from the sea of divine consciousness and focused his attention on the seventh layer of the method of "Juyuan Jue".

Unconsciously, Shen Tong adjusted his sitting posture and changed to a pranayama posture again, guiding the spiritual power from the outside world into his body, and absorbing the violent and huge energy with the exercises of the seventh layer of the "Juyuan Jue".

And over the years, the seventh-layer gate of the Qi cultivation period that Li Ping had been struggling to break through was also suddenly opened at this moment, and that violent energy poured into the dantian one by one, following the direction of the seven-layer exercises, constantly blending the spiritual energy introduced from the outside world with the energy in the body, and finally turning into spiritual power that he could control. And this rapidly growing energy body also made the sea of qi that was originally hovering in the dantian expand several times in an instant.
