Section 22 Devouring the Soul
In such a dimly lit secret room, there was no sun, no moonlight and no stars, and the judgment of time was too vague, especially after Shen Tong entered the meditative state, he fell into a state of almost slumber for a long time. As a result, the feeling of time became more and more confused, which also led to the fact that he didn't know how long he had been in this secret room at the moment.
What Shen Tong didn't expect was that the cultivation of the fifth layer of "Returning to the Gods" was very different from the previous layers, and the progress of his cultivation was so slow that he had never experienced it again.
However, in this current situation, it seems that there is nothing else to do except cultivate this "Returning to the Divine Formula", especially after the success of the fourth-level cultivation, being able to separate a wisp of divine consciousness This amazing supernatural power really gave him too much shock. And because of the appearance of this wisp of divine consciousness, he was able to reopen the magic circle in the secret room, which also obviously gave him some inspiration, it seems that as long as he continues to cultivate layer by layer, he can get more magical skills, and he can figure out the situation here step by step, maybe in the end, he can successfully escape. With the thoughts of his wife becoming more and more intense in his heart, and his worries about his family increasing, he is also extremely urgent for his current cultivation, no matter how difficult this path is, it can't stop him from moving forward.
Although the black mist in the previous black circle almost caused Shen Tong's divine consciousness to collapse, the subsequent changes benefited him a lot. Especially the pure energy that appeared afterwards not only greatly supplemented the divine sense, but also greatly supplemented the dantian, such a wonderful effect, naturally made him look forward to it.
This wonderful magic circle, the existence of that black circle, should be used to assist in increasing the progress of cultivation! As for this bead on the neck, it seems to be a treasure that matches it?
Such questions are naturally unanswered at the moment. However, Shen Tong didn't care, as long as he could quickly improve his cultivation, even if the risk was relatively large, it was very likely that he would encounter the collapse of his divine consciousness last time, and he was willing to take the risk.
In the following time, he began to cultivate while paying attention to the changes in the black circle, no longer meditating for months as before, but from time to time he separated a wisp of divine consciousness to check the situation in the four circles. Of course, in this way, it also slowed down his meditation cultivation a lot, and the speed of his cultivation also slowed down.
A few days later, a black mist appeared again in the black circle, and like the previous black fog, this black mist appeared without any warning. However, once he appeared in that mysterious black circle, he could only wander around, and he could no longer escape at all, which confirmed Shen Tong's guess, the setting of this magic circle was obviously to constantly provide this weird black mist, and then speed up his cultivation.
Stopping to meditate, Shen Tong walked to the edge of the black circle, this time with the previous experience and lessons, he also no longer divided his divine sense to investigate, after muttering for a while, he directly stretched out his hand and inserted it directly into the black circle.
The circle of black light flowing as if it were completely non-existent, pierced through his arm. And after opening the gap, the black mist rushed out in an instant, and Shen Tong, who had been prepared, took a big mouth and sucked the black mist into his mouth, and then he felt a wave of energy rushing to his mind, and launched an attack on his divine consciousness sea. It's just that this mass of energy is too weak, and as soon as it comes into contact with his sea of divine consciousness, it disappears directly like raindrops falling into the sea.
And this time, Shen Tong also sat down quickly, constantly running exercises to absorb spiritual energy into the body, and quickly condensed the inexplicable extra energy.
Compared to the previous black fog that was as many as eight at once, this black mist this time was really much thinner, and it soon merged with Shen Tong's original divine consciousness sea and became his own energy.
However, Shen Tong didn't dare to be careless, he was still constantly using his skills to attract spiritual energy into his body, he knew that after this pure ability, there was still a deadly threat, and a terrifying energy was waiting to set off a monstrous wave in his sea of consciousness, which would be devastating. Sure enough, a moment later, at the edge of the crystal sea of knowledge, a condensed black mist appeared, and began to stir up in the sea of knowledge, it was like an invading bandit, trying its best, frantically flipping, that kind of violent and crazy atmosphere, as if it was going to destroy everything.
It's just that the energy of this black mist is too weak, and the wind and waves set off are far from being as huge as before, which makes Shen Tong breathe a long sigh of relief, obviously this level of change is far from the point of making him collapse.
Shen Tong immediately ran the exercises and wanted to engulf him with external spiritual power and his own powerful divine sense, but when the black mist was caught by the tentacles that rose up in the sea of divine consciousness, he was still desperately resisting, no matter how hard Shen Tong tried and how he attracted the spiritual energy outside to refine together, it had no effect on the black mist at all. This made him secretly frightened, although he had already prepared, but it was obvious that he was still underestimating the strength of this black mist, relying on his own strength alone, it seemed that he could not be helpless in a short period of time.
Just when he couldn't use several methods in a row, a coolness came out of his neck in vain, and a cold feeling came into his mind, and then the black mist trapped by him seemed to have received a traction, and with the cold feeling moving down quickly, it disappeared into his neck in the blink of an eye. Apparently, it was sucked into the beads as it was last time.
This time, it seemed that because the energy of those black mist was too little, just a few breaths after that cold feeling disappeared, a warm current passed from the beads into his body, just like the last time, one to Zhihai and one to the dantian.
In the two places, there was warmth at the same time, which made Shen Tong overjoyed, and he couldn't help but start meditating again, mobilizing the aura into the body, and constantly condensing this pure soul element. After that, he ran the sixth-layer exercises of the "Gathering Spirit Formula" again, and suddenly felt that the sixth-layer exercises that had been stagnant seemed to have increased a lot, and the energy at the dantian also seemed to have increased a lot all of a sudden, which made him very excited.
Immediately, Shen Tong felt curious about the bead on his neck, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but separate a wisp of divine sense to wrap the bead, wanting to explore it.
This body is really too strange, just like the pocket pocket before, if it weren't for his divine consciousness to get into it, how would he know that such a small bag actually contains a lot of things, and with his own mind, he can actually take it at will, which is really a bit incredible. The bead in front of me has such a miraculous effect, could it be like that pocket, which has an unknown secret in it?
However, when he controlled the wisp of divine consciousness and wanted to penetrate it, he found that it didn't work at all, no matter how hard he tried, he could only linger outside the bead, and he couldn't enter at all.
This made Shen Tong feel quite regretful, obviously in his opinion, this bead was even more magical than the pocket on his waist, after all, those black mist in the sea of divine consciousness were so difficult, but in the blink of an eye, it was solved by that bead and turned into pure energy to return, this kind of magical effect is really amazing. It's just that, with his ability at the moment, he really can't figure out how this bead works and the secrets hidden in it, and he can't help but feel a little regretful.
After pondering for a long time, when Shen Tong was sure that he really couldn't figure it out, he gave up continuing to do such useless work, anyway, no matter what, the magical effect of this bead at the moment was too effective for him, and this was enough.
In the following time, Shen Tong began to meditate while constantly devouring the black mist in the black circle, in an almost persistent and crazy way, and at an astonishing speed, he quickly improved his cultivation, constantly expanding his divine consciousness sea, and refining the soul element in it.
Cultivation has no years, and I don't know how long it has been, Shen Tong has been devouring cultivation and waking up from constant meditation. At this time, he had already practiced the cultivation of the fifth layer of the "Returning to the Divine Formula", and even the exercises of the sixth layer had been cultivated to the peak, not only that, but as he devoured more and more black mist, the bead on his neck also continued to return to the dantian with streams of pure energy, at this moment, he had faintly felt that the sixth layer of the "Gathering Spirit Formula" was finally going to be cultivated to the peak, and he would soon be able to cultivate the content of the next page.
Although he never figured out why he had not made any movement in the cultivation of the "Gathering Spirit Technique", the feeling at this moment finally made him breathe a long sigh of relief.
Obviously, after a while, he will be able to practice the next page of exercises, that is to say, he can finally set foot in the seventh layer of the realm mentioned in the "Gathering Soul Formula", so many years, he has crossed six realms in a row in the cultivation of the "Returning to the Divine Technique", and at this moment he has reached the peak of the sixth layer, and he will soon be able to cultivate the seventh layer of the exercises, but the "Gathering Soul Formula" has only made a little progress until now, which really makes him feel bitter, and it seems that he really has no talent for the cultivation of that exercise!
But the strange thing is, why was he able to cultivate to the seventh level of these two exercises at the same time?
Shen Tong couldn't understand, there were too many things he couldn't understand in the past few years, so he didn't want to waste time and energy to continue thinking about it, so he set his eyes on the end of the sixth layer of the "Returning to the Gods", where a secret technique was marked.
This reminded him of the end of the fourth layer, the secret technique that could separate a wisp of divine consciousness was really amazing. Not only did he see the mysteries of this world, but he also reopened the magic circle by mistake, which allowed his cultivation progress to increase by I don't know how many times, after the fourth layer, if he only relied on penance and meditation, he didn't know that he would not be able to achieve his current achievements until the Year of the Monkey.
At this time, there was another secret technique in front of him, and he didn't know what kind of magical effect it would have after practice, which also made Shen Tong look forward to it.
