Chapter 3: Symbiosis
After the old man took Wen Haotian out of the yang world, he returned to the bank of the Huangquan River again, at this time, the illusion of the old man was extremely thin, and Wen Haotian was also extremely weak because he did not have the support of the old man's cultivation.
"Little doll, I have helped you get your wish with your deep hatred, and now my last trace of residual knowledge is about to dissipate, you have been sold by the escort, there is no information about you in the book of life and death, and there is no hope of reincarnation as a human. If you don't live with me, it won't be long before your remnant soul will dissipate in the vast yellow spring. ”
Wen Haotian's wish has been fulfilled, he is not a person who does not believe in his words, but he is just puzzled in his heart, the old man is so capable, not to mention finding a yin soul to coexist, it is easy to directly take the soul and devour the soul, why do you have to live with yourself and ask for your permission. So, he asked,
"The old man helped me get revenge, and saved me from danger, Wen Haotian should have sacrificed his life and forgot to die to repay the old man's kindness, and he didn't dare to break his promise. It's just that there is one thing that is not clear, and it is easy to capture the ghosts of the old age, not to mention symbiosis, it is not difficult to take their souls and replace them, why do you choose me? Why do you repeatedly ask for my permission?"
The elder hesitated for a moment and said,
"I am the Lord of the Netherworld, reduced to a trace of residual knowledge, it is not easy to be reborn, I need a pure yin soul to be willing, in order to get rebirth. Little doll, you were born in the lunar year, and you happened to die unexpectedly, and the anger of the soul is extremely heavy, and when my residual consciousness is about to dissipate, meeting you is also your life. ”
Wen Haotian thought to himself, he has been a human being in the world for 20 years, and he is deceived in the world, and he is disgusted by the truth and falsehood, and now he is dead and turned into a soul, and he is also bullied by ghosts in the netherworld, cutting off his reincarnation, selling it to others, and almost becoming a thing nourished by yin ghosts. Now, there was an opportunity to control the life and death of the Netherworld and reformulate the order of the Netherworld, how could he miss it?
"What should I do?"
Seeing Wen Haotian agree, the thin illusion let out a burst of wild laughter,
"Hahahaha... You don't have to do anything, as long as you are willing to live with me, you and I will dominate the netherworld, just around the corner!"
When the old man's voice fell, Wen Haotian felt a sharp pain in his brain, and countless messages poured into his memory, making him suffocate and spasm on the ground.
"Little doll, don't reject it, try to accept it, this is the memory of my life, only by voluntarily accepting it, your mortal soul can carry my tens of thousands of years of experience, otherwise, you and I will be scattered. ”
Wen Haotian took a deep breath, held his breath and concentrated, to accept the huge amount of information pouring into his brain, he found himself in a white space with a diameter of ten zhang, and there was darkness beyond ten zhang, and with the continuous influx of information, this white space gradually shrank. Finally, there was no more information pouring into Wen Haotian's memory, and the space he was in at this time was only more than a zhang, but the strange thing was that this space was still slowly shrinking, and Wen Haotian realized that there must be something strange about this matter, and the old man had something to hide from the so-called symbiosis.
"Elder Shen, why am I in a small space, and this space is still shrinking, as if it is about to swallow me?"
"Hahahaha... It seems that you have not had a long memory after you died once, and when I completely devour you, you can be reborn to rule the Netherworld. ”
"You... Yes... Ahh
When Wen Haotian heard this, his heart was like ashes, he didn't expect that the person who sacrificed himself to save himself when he was in danger would end up calculating himself. He resented, resisted the influx of information fused his memories, and his resistance allowed himself to fall back into pain, spasms, and even suffocation......
Wen Haotian struggled, trying his last bit of strength, resisting the influx of information and merging with his own memory, at this time, the panicked voice of the old man came from his ears,
"Little doll, don't resist, if this continues, your soul can't bear my tens of thousands of years of memories at all, so that your soul will be scattered..."
Wen Haotian listened to it and laughed wildly,
"Hahahaha... What if the soul is scattered, I Wen Haotian has no more ties in my heart, I can pull you old bastard, and the old miscellaneous will die together, and there will be no regrets..."
The old man hesitated, his tone softened a little,
"Little doll, it's the old man's ghost for a while, don't be impulsive, you have something to say, you stop rejecting it first, at the last critical moment of integration, you and I are all on the line!"
"Go back to your consciousness space!"
"Okay, okay!
With the answer of the elder, the white space where Wen Haotian was located gradually expanded outward, until it was ten zhang away at the beginning, and it no longer extended.
"If you retreat outward, I have to control my consciousness, otherwise, you and I will all turn to dust!"
Wen Haotian's tone was firm, leaving no room for discussion, the old man saw that the fusion had reached the last moment, and it was too late to withdraw at this time, so he sighed,
"I want to count thousands of calculations, wait for thousands of years, but I haven't counted the little doll, you are not afraid of life and death, just ......"
The sigh dissipated, and Wen Haotian couldn't see the edge of the white space where he was, and under his feet, at some point, he gave birth to a pool of water that was as black as ink nine zhang in diameter, and he was standing on the surface of the water, but the reflection in the pool was not himself, but the old man. Immediately afterwards, the chanting voice of an old man echoed in the entire white space, and the pool water under Wen Haotian's feet seemed to be boiling.
"The vast netherworld, the longevity of Hengchang. Abandon your body and melt your soul, and return to yin and yang!
As the old man's chanting resounded throughout the consciousness space, Wen Haotian's eyes gradually blurred. When Wen Haotian woke up again, he found that he had left the space of consciousness and was lying on the bank of the Huangquan River. He found himself dressed in black, with white hair draped behind him, but his face was the same as before his death, and his body was more powerful than before, at this time, a voice came from his consciousness,
"Little doll, are you still satisfied with this new self?"
When Wen Haotian heard this old man's voice, he instantly recognized it as the old man,
"Old bastard, I was almost calculated by you, how will I live together in the future?"
The old man was not angry, and Lang laughed and said,
"Hahahaha... I am you, you are me, you and I have the same mind, how can we not coexist?"
Wen Hao consciously felt it and confirmed that what the old man said was true, so he sneered,
"Old guy, you have exhausted all your calculations, and now you are losing everything, how do you feel?"
Wen Haotian was proud in his heart, but he ignored that the old man also knew his thoughts, and his laughter was even more hearty.
"Hahahaha... Little doll, I have been reborn through your soul, and I have achieved my original goal, why do you want to lose all the games? Now that you and I are coexisting, don't ridicule and tempt each other, you and I can tacitly know what you think in your heart. Whether or not we can survive in this netherworld still needs you and me to plan together!"
Wen Haotian knew what the old man thought, the netherworld, the weak eat the strong, and the Yang world is as good as the Yang world. Here, strength is the rule, the strong have the right to speak, and the strong are the makers of order. In the consciousness of the underworld, Wen Haotian learned that in the realm of the netherworld, all living beings could cultivate with the help of the netherworld yin qi.
In the entire Netherworld Realm, there are five levels of cultivation realm known to the Underworld, which are Soul Solidification, Yuan Yin, Yin Building, Yin Cheng, and Ascension, each of which is divided into five small steps. Take a person's yin soul as an example, a person has three souls and seven spirits, and the soul refining stage means that there are three chances, each time you can choose a soul to cultivate, if you can extract it from the three souls, gather but not disperse, it will be completed.
And the more souls each cultivator can refine, not only the deeper the cultivation will be at this stage, but also the height it can reach in the future. Ordinary people's Yin Souls, if they can refine one or two souls, they are the lucky ones, and if they can practice three souls, they must be a scarce new force that the major forces of the Netherworld are vying for.
Forging souls is similar to soul refining, taking human yin souls as an example, it is to extract each of the seven spirits, and the more spirits that can be refined, the more powerful the souls that can be fused later. But it's not necessarily true, some creatures have no soul, only soul, then the status of other soul replaces soul, and the number of refining soul is equivalent to the number of people refining soul, which is a minority after all. If a person's Yin Soul fails to refine all three souls, it will be scattered.
Soul gathering is to re-fuse the new souls and spirits obtained from the previous two stages to form new souls. The number of tribulations and the strength of the lightning punishment depend on the number of souls and spirits in the new soul, each more soul or one soul will suffer one more lightning penalty, and for each soul tribulation, the next soul tribulation will be double the lightning penalty of the previous soul tribulation. The degree of thunder penalty is lower than that of the soul tribulation, and the intensity of the lightning penalty will also increase by 50% as the number of tribulations crossed.
After the tribulation, a new soul is formed, and it enters the stage of accepting yin, which is to absorb the yin qi of the netherworld, until it is full, and then it can break through to the stage of soul consolidation. The amount of Yin Qi that a newborn soul needs to absorb depends on the number of souls and spirits when this soul gathers souls, and the more souls there are, the more Yin Qi is needed.
In fact, the entire soul fixing stage was only for one thing, and that was to allow the souls of living beings to live forever in the Netherworld Realm, providing cultivators with ample time for subsequent breakthroughs.
After Wen Haotian learned the cultivation method, he was about to refine one of his life souls according to the soul refining method in the memory of the elder, but was stopped by the elder.
"Little doll, don't be anxious, you and I merge with each other, and we are the new yin souls, and the sins committed in the yang world will also be erased with the dissipation of the original you. Although the soul that you and I fused now is like a newborn baby, with my tens of thousands of years of soul aura, the general yin soul and evil spirit dare not approach. Go find the Soul Locking Grass first, with it, your chances of succeeding in soul refining are at least a hundred times greater. ”
Knowing the Elder's thoughts, I no longer hesitated, got up and followed the guidance in the Elder's memory, and walked towards the realm of the Yellow Spring where the Soul Locking Grass grew.
