Volume 2: Entering the Ghost Feast Verse 79: The Python's Domain
"What do you mean?" Zhang asked puzzled.
"It's the words of the Buddha in the Kapila region, in our words, it is 'clinging to the appearance and deviating from the essence', when you cultivate the source of the heavenly snake man, you are too much to pursue the changes and functions of various snake forms, and you do not understand the principle of the special structure and ability of each snake, so you can't understand the true meaning of the human soul snake body in the source of the heavenly snake man, so I said that you are fascinated." Nuwa's remnant soul explained.
"Isn't it a profiling? No wonder, I always feel that although the appearance is similar, but the ability is still not perfect, so I can't use it easily, and its power is not as strong as described in the soul technique, it seems that my cultivation is really not the point. Zhang Su said suddenly.
"For example, when you fought against that dinosaur imp, you used the transformation of the slave armor snake, but your slave armor snake can only defend against the attack of that little ghost, but it can't cause any damage to the little ghost, and the real slave armor snake form is actually not, just with the attack under the soul strength of that little ghost, not only can not cause the slightest damage to the slave armor snake, but will be shocked by the strong skin of the slave armor snake, so you are just imitating a shape now." Nuwa's remnant soul said.
"It turns out that the Slave Snake still has such power, then I really have to relearn the Source Heaven Snake Man Soul Technique, otherwise I will waste such a powerful Source Heaven Soul Skill in vain." Zhang Su sighed.
"Don't worry, after you finish learning the python realm, you will explore it against the human soul snake body, and your mistakes will naturally be corrected." Nuwa's remnant soul said with a smile.
"Why?" Zhang asked suspiciously.
"The realm of the python is to use soul power to condense various forms outside the soul, and in the process of condensation, you must pay attention to the characteristics of each form and the unique condensation method of each form, which will cultivate your sensitivity to the nature of form changes, and after you finish cultivating the realm of the python, you will have a more accurate understanding of the human soul and snake body." Nuwa's remnant soul explained.
"So I made a mistake in the order of cultivating the Source Heaven Snake Man?" Zhang Su rubbed his head and smiled bitterly.
"That's right, your cultivation order is correct, the Origin Heaven Snake Man Soul Technique should first practice the basic form change of the Human Soul Snake Body, and then practice the Python Domain, so as to correct the change of the Human Soul Snake Body, and finally rebuild the Human Soul Snake Body again, so that the Human Soul Snake Body and the Python Realm complement each other and compare with each other, this is the best cultivation process for the Source Heaven Snake Man." Nuwa's remnant soul continued to explain.
"So that's the case, the cultivation process of the Yuantian Soul Technique is really not simple, it seems that I chose the right first step by mistake, so Master Nuwa, if I chose the wrong first step, will you correct me?" Zhang Su asked thoughtfully.
"No, it won't." Nuwa replied calmly.
"Why?" Zhang asked puzzled.
"This is the point of divergence of the Heavenly Branch of your established fate, I can't interfere with your choice, if you make the wrong choice, then you will only be my apprentice, and no longer the Chosen One, you can continue to accept my inheritance, as the transition of the Origin Heavenly Soul Technique, but you will never be able to reach the Taoyuan Realm, and you will never be able to enter the Origin Heaven, obviously you have successfully passed one of your own Heavenly Branch Differences, you are still qualified to be my successor, and you still have the qualifications to enter the Origin Heaven." Nuwa's remnant soul suddenly said to Zhang Su with a serious face.
"The Celestial Branch?" Zhang Su was even more puzzled, and always felt that Nuwa's explanation was mysterious and mysterious, as if she had some kind of plan.
"There is no need to ask more questions about this matter, you are not qualified to know these things, knowing that it will be a danger to you in the future, and it will affect your normal judgment when you encounter other points of disagreement in the future, even if I am a Source Heavenly Soul Master, I can't reverse and block the Heavenly Dao, you just live according to your own judgment." Nuwa did not answer Zhang Su's question directly, but admonished.
Zhang Su nodded, he knew the mystery of Nuwa's remnant soul, since Nuwa's remnant soul refused to answer the question, Zhang Su naturally understood the deep meaning of it, and his heart was calm, the only thing that made him a little worried was the uninhabited small village where the soul jade was found, Zhang Su guessed, maybe the person who hid the source heaven soul jade under the broken stove was the previous Nuwa heir, maybe it was because he went wrong and chose to discard the treasure of the source heaven soul jade, that person may be the inheritor in the mouth of the remnant soul of Nuwa, And he has lost the qualification to enter the ranks of the source heavens.
"Then let's start cultivating in the python realm now." Zhang Su came back to his senses and said to Nuwa's remnant soul.
"Well, you already have a cultivation method in the realm of the python in your spiritual sense, you can practice at any time, if you have any questions, you can ask me for advice, although the realm of the python does not change as much as the human soul snake body, but its cultivation difficulty does not have to be small in the human soul snake body, the uniqueness of the ninety-nine changes in the form needs to be carefully distinguished, and then delve into the exploration, so that you can do it handy, and the python's domain belongs to the external soul power skills, and the requirements for the ability to control the soul power will be quite strict, From the accuracy of soul power condensation to the consumption of soul power when condensing, it must be just right, otherwise there will be a decrease in power or a waste of soul power, I will prompt here first, and then you need to master the cultivation yourself. "The second part of Nuwa's remnant soul source Heavenly Snake Man's python realm was transmitted to Zhang Su's spiritual sense, and he reminded Zhang Su.
With the first experience of a huge amount of information causing spiritual swelling pain, Zhang Su was naturally fully prepared, after Nuwa's remnant soul transmitted the cultivation method into Zhang Su's spiritual sense, Zhang Su only felt a trance, and then returned to normal, he seriously took out the cultivation method of the python's domain, while carefully reading the condensation and casting methods of the python's domain, while analyzing and interpreting the hints made by Nuwa's remnant soul, slowly, he seemed to understand the key to the cultivation of the python's domain, and then began to start formal cultivation.
"Let's start with the ancient rock python, the appearance is to condense a huge rock-like python, its essence is to condense and harden the soul power released, so that the soul power becomes as hard as a stone, because the soul power is condensed, the soul body of the python will be quite powerful, whether it is a tail whip or a strangulation, it can exert super power, so when dealing with the power-type revenant, the role of the ancient rock python will be very significant, if it is cultivated, maybe when you meet the primary imp of the strength of the dinosaur ghost again, A single Ancient Rock Python can break the opponent's strongest attack soul technique, and that's it. Zhang Wei pondered for a moment and chose the first form he wanted to cultivate.
Zhang Su did not release the soul, but just ran the soul power outside the body to condense continuously, and after a while, it condensed a big snake form with a blue light, as the soul power continued to condense, the big snake gradually revealed its rudimentary form, the snake head is like a water chestnut, the body is knotted into segments, and the bucket-sized segments are lined up one after another, each segment is as rough as a rock that has been polished off the edges and corners but is very regular, the big snake is controlled by Zhang Su, floating in the air, spinning in the room, and exuding a powerful soul power between the stretches of the body, This kind of coercion is more fierce than Zhang Su's three green phosphorus arrow arrays.
"It's not enough, it's still only the shape, the condensation of soul power is not in place, today's ancient rock python can be regarded as a pile of clods at most, and it is still a lot away from the real rock body, the key question is, where am I wrong?" Zhang Su opened his eyes, opened his yin and yang eyes and looked at the ancient rock python that he had condensed, muttered to himself, and slowly fell into contemplation.
This time, Nuwa's remnant soul did not show up to give Zhang Su any hints, because the hints that should have been given have already been given, and the key method depends on Zhang Su's own understanding.
After pondering for a long time, Zhang Su looked at the ancient rock python that was condensed by his soul power, he found that the ancient rock python's movements always had a sense of disobedience, and suddenly a flash of inspiration, as if he understood where he was wrong, quickly closed his eyes again, and continued to inject soul power into the ancient rock python, when the ancient rock python's body became blue and shining, Zhang Su quietly copied a blank wisp of spiritual consciousness into the ancient rock python's body, and then he weakened the soul power control of the ancient rock python, Let the ancient rock python, which has lost its spiritual sense and soul power control, move freely in the room with this blank spiritual sense, and get a short period of freedom like a pet that has lost its collar.
The ancient rock python formed by the condensation of soul power did not make any movement when it first lost the control of Zhang Su's soul power, as if it did not realize that it had become free, but after only a while, inside the ancient rock python, the blank spiritual consciousness began to accept information from the outside world and adapt to the python-like body composed of boulders, doing all kinds of strange movements on the ground, stumbling and learning to walk like a newborn foal.
The ancient rock python has a snake-like body and no feet, so the ancient rock python quickly understood that if it wanted to move, it needed to move its body by sliding, and the human way of walking could not make itself move faster.
When the ancient rock python learned to move, it saw Zhang Su sitting on the bed at first sight, Zhang Su's appearance attracted the attention of the ancient rock python, the ancient rock python slid its body and climbed onto Zhang Su's bed, and kept rotating around Zhang Su's body, it seemed to sense the temperature of Zhang Su's body, and it seemed to smell the soul taste in Zhang Su's body, the snake's eyes were erected into a slit, staring greedily at Zhang Su's body, and spit out his tongue snake letter, as if coveting the delicious food in front of him.
Zhang Su sensed that the ancient rock python that had crawled to his side, and there was no surprise in his expression, but he simply opened his eyes, smiled, and looked at the ancient rock python coiled around him with yin and yang eyes, and for a while the snake eyes of the ancient rock python looked at each other, looking at each other, Zhang Su's eyes were full of joy and expectation, and the eyes of the ancient rock python revealed curiosity and greed.
"Little one, what are you looking at? Don't want to eat me? When a person and a snake were staring at each other, Zhang Su suddenly asked, obviously provoking the ancient rock python in front of him.
Gu Yan Python didn't speak, and once again spit out the snake letter and swayed back and forth in front of Zhang Su's eyes, the pupils in his eyes constricted, obviously sensing Zhang Su's provocation, and making a posture of preparing to attack.
Zhang Su sat quietly, he could feel that the huge soul power python body of the ancient rock python was slowly swimming up to his body, winding his body round by circle, and then tightly strangled his body space, constantly squeezing hard, Zhang Su knew that the Gu Yan python who was happy wanted to squeeze his body space and force out the delicious soul hidden inside, and the Gu Yan python actually really attacked himself.
Sensing the soul power squeeze from the ancient rock python, Zhang Su opened the Yuantian Xuan Body to expand his body space, in order to compete with the soul power squeeze of the ancient rock python, Zhang Su did not want to compete with the ancient rock python, but wanted to further test how powerful the ancient rock python's strangulation was.
Sure enough, as Zhang Su expected, after Gu Yan Python saw that Zhang Su's soul space was expanding and deformed, and becoming more indestructible, it did not intend to give up, but used the soul power of its whole body to carry out a more powerful strangulation, and the strangulation under the full force actually made Zhang Su's body space feel a special sense of oppression, although this sense of oppression was not as strong as the door elder in the Heavenly Soul Castle, but it also made Zhang Su feel dull and depressed.
"Is this the strongest power of the Ancient Rock Python form of the Source Heaven Snake Man Soul Technique? Only the soul power of the junior soul king can cause such a powerful oppression to the body space, even the junior soul ancestor may not be able to do it, little guy, you are really so strong, don't you have other good tricks? Let's do it together! Zhang Su sat motionless, looking at the ancient rock python in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little amazed in his heart, but after being amazed, Zhang Su once again provoked the ancient rock python.
The ancient rock python obviously sensed the emotional changes of Zhang Su, his body tightened again, and the stone hammer-like tail slowly lifted up from Zhang Su's back, just as Zhang Su's voice fell, the water chestnut python head of the ancient rock python hissed at the front face of Zhang Su, and then, the stone hammer-like tail suddenly threw out a tail whip like wind and grass from the right rear of Zhang Su's body, and the tail whip was flush with Zhang Su's shoulders, and passed through Zhang Su's head quickly with gusts of yin wind, although it failed to cause any damage to Zhang Su's head, However, the strong soul power on the tail whip still shook Zhang Su's soul space slightly, making the souls hiding in the body space inevitably give birth to a trace of soul power agitation.
"Good guy, this is too strong, if this blows to the body of that dinosaur ghost, the little ghost is estimated to be directly shattered soul, sure enough, whether it is the cultivation of the python field or the cultivation of the human soul snake body, you can't control the behavior of the snake soul from a human perspective, that will only weaken the power of the snake soul, the real Dacheng is to turn a person into a human and a snake into a snake, only by controlling the corresponding form with the corresponding state, it can be regarded as following the essence of various forms, it turns out that Master Nuwa said this meaning, It's just that with so many changes, it's really not a simple thing to find the corresponding state one by one. Zhang Su sighed.
Seeing all the behavioral characteristics of the ancient rock python generated alone, Zhang Su knew that his attempt was successful, and then mobilized his soul power again, reconnected with the soul connection of the ancient rock python, and used his soul power to dispel the soul power on the ancient rock python, and recollected these soul powers into his own body, and then absorbed the wisp of spiritual consciousness in the ancient rock python's body, which had lost the protection of soul power, into his spiritual consciousness again, Zhang Su sensed that there was a lot of information about the ancient rock python in the blank spiritual consciousness that had been put into the soul body of the ancient rock python before, these contents made Zhang Ji understand how he could make the Guyan python exert its maximum power.
"One-ninety-ninth is completed, there are still ninety-eight forms to explore, plus the retraining plan of the human soul snake body, you can't do it in one night, then you can practice a few of them, the next one is to practice the ear snake opposite to the ancient rock python, the smallest snake, thin into the ear, stealth hidden soul, can slowly eat away at the soul power within the enemy's soul, or it can explode directly in the enemy's body, causing a direct impact on the soul of the opponent, yes, that's it." Zhang Su glanced at the time, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, he calculated the time, if it took an hour to complete a form simulation, then he could cultivate twelve or thirteen form changes without sleeping all night, because the ninety-nine changes are all snake forms, it is inevitable that there are commonalities, if you cultivate to the back, you can speed up a little, then it is still possible to complete twenty or thirty forms in one night, so he said to himself.
The cultivation of the ear snake is several levels more difficult than that of the ancient rock python, because the process of the ear snake condensation requires the soul master to control his own soul power very accurately, and it is necessary to condense and squeeze a large amount of soul power into a small snake like silk, which is not something that ordinary soul masters can easily do, Zhang Su spent nearly an hour to successfully condense a finger-long white light snake like a filament, Zhang Su used the same method as the ancient rock python to explore the strongest power of the ear snake again.
Time passed little by little, the bright crescent moon outside the window rippled in the sea of dark night like a boat, the stars flickered from time to time like the waves that were stirred up, the crescent moon boat drifted slowly in the night sky, the moonlight sprinkled to the earth like a net, no one knew how the light net was weaved, and what the net contained, let alone what the boatman on the crescent boat fished up, only knew that the moon boat appeared at night, tens of thousands of years like a day, never stopping, sometimes full of loads, sometimes nothing, When fully loaded, the boat is piled up into a disc-like circle of light, and when nothing is found, the boat becomes as thin as paper, and underneath the boat, most of the people burrow into their nests at night like small fish living in the water, recuperate and recharge their spirits, and repeat the cycle for tomorrow's energetic predation.
In the silent night, in the center of the city, not far from the Fengcheng Forest Valley, there was a low and sad wolf howl in the zoo, the sound of the wolf howl was weak, and the sound had disappeared before it floated out of the zoo, at this time, a ghost sat on the rockery of the wolf park, and glanced at several adult male wolves in the park who were still languishing in the night, and he actually learned the wolf howl, the voice was full of pathos and hatred, and it was more imposing than the cry of the real wolf, but no one could hear the wail of a soul.
"Don't howl, it's worse than crying." A man in a trench coat was standing outside the guardrail of the wolf park at this time, his eyes looking down in the direction of the rockery, and he spoke.
As the figure stood on the edge of the wolf park, several skinny old wolves in the wolf park began to howl, as if they had smelled the meat that they had smelled for a long time.
"In the company?" The ghost asked.
"Tell me, where did the dumpster go?" The figure in the trench coat asked coldly.
"I don't know, after the ghost banquet, they parted ways, except for the ghost banquet, ghosts don't live in groups." The ghost said with a smile.
"Hmph, hard mouth, I don't believe you don't know at all, I'll kill you now and then probe your spiritual sense, so I don't need you to open your mouth again." The figure in the trench coat snorted coldly.
"If you have the ability, you can come, you are just the level of an intermediate soul king, just because you still want to kill me?" Still smiling flatly, the ghost replied.
"Intermediate Soul King? An intermediate-level imp is still acting in front of me, and the ban on soul power has been lifted, do you still see that I am still an intermediate-level soul king now? The figure in the trench coat put his hand into his chest, and a flesh-colored round sticker the size of a cup was removed from his chest, and the soul power of the figure in the trench coat skyrocketed instantly, and the powerful soul power set off a gust of yin wind, scaring the vicious wolves in the wolf park directly into the nest, and did not dare to step out.
"Junior Soul Ancestor!" The ghost once again sensed the soul power of the trench-clothed figure, and cried out in surprise, with a look of timidity and despair in his eyes.
After a while, the ghost in the wolf garden has fallen to the ground, and there are three hungry wolves in the wolf garden lying around with blood, and the ghost shadow that fell to the ground is the little ghost called the ghost bamboo scholar that Zhang Su saw when he accidentally broke into the ghost banquet, and the man in the windbreaker received the ghost bamboo scholar into a red stone cup, and left the zoo after a few dodges, and disappeared into the night.
