Chapter 20 of the Soul World Chapter 20 The Power of the Demon God
"What did you find in the Old Book Pavilion?" I asked, looking at him quizzically.
"There are all kinds of utensils and books piled up in the old book cabinet, it is very messy, Aoi and I have been tidying up for two whole days and two nights, and we haven't finished tidying up, but then Aoi has something to go out, leaving me alone to tidy up in the old book cabinet. Eventually, in a box in the corner, I found a few dusty ancient books, and I succumbed to a secret. Xiao Qing said.
"Oh, what's the secret?" I asked, curious.
"Did you know that the Demon God Strange has been around for a long time?" Xiao Qing asked, looking at me.
"I know, I heard a senior say that the Demon God has existed since the Domain Emperor period, and it is a very powerful existence, and now the so-called Demon God is just borrowing the title of the year. I thought about it and said.
"I didn't expect you to know this!In fact, people are now imprisoned by the way magic works, and magic was created by a traitor of the Tianlian clan in this era, so there must be other ways to achieve the strength of the demon god. Xiao Qing said.
"In what way?" I asked curiously.
"How do magicians determine rank and strength?" I asked, confused.
"Gather enough elemental energy to unleash a certain level of magic. I thought about it and said.
"You're right, so that means that as long as I can gather the elemental energy required for magic at the Demon God level in a short period of time, then I am equivalent to having the strength of the Demon God level. Xiao Qing said.
"You're right, but how can you do it?" I asked, confused.
"Yuan Shen Li. Xiao Qing said.
"Genshin power, you mean to use the gathered primordial power as elemental energy to release magic?" I asked, thinking for a moment.
"Yes. Xiao Qing replied.
"I'm afraid that's not going to work, right?" I asked, confused.
For example, the technique of weapon fighting is to use the blade to sense the elemental energy in the air, but if there is no elemental energy in the air around you, and you are a cultivator, you can use the Yuan Shen power to add energy to the blade. Xiao Qing said.
"I know this! I've tried this before for some reason, but the Weapon Fighting Technique is originally another way to prepare for some people who are too weak to cultivate, so the way it works is the same, and the blade is just a tool to strengthen the sense. But the way magic and cultivation operate are completely different, can you really say what you described? And if you release the primordial divine power and condense it outside the body, this will not only consume a part of the energy, but also slow down the speed. I said with a frown.
"Look at this. Xiao Qing took out a book and handed it to me.
I opened the book and looked at the content recorded on it carefully, and the more I looked at it, the more surprised I became, and before I knew it, I was going to finish reading it, and after reading it, I raised my head and looked at Xiao Qing, and Xiao Qing also looked at myself.
"How much time has passed?" I asked, looking at Xiao Qing.
"You've been watching it for over an hour. Xiao Qing said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I fell into it without paying attention. I smiled awkwardly.
"It's okay, that's what I did the first time I read it, after all, it's more than I originally knew. Xiao Qing said with a smile.
"The mental method and operation method described above it makes me feel a little like the way of the mystery. I closed the book and said.
"Oh, you actually know the way of Xuan Xuan?" Xiao Qing asked in surprise.
"I had the privilege of going to Qifu Island where the Tianlian clan lived before, and I also practiced the way of mystical retreat. I said with a smile.
"You're such a strange person. Xiao Qing said in surprise.
"You have cultivated the mental method in this classic, and your cultivation strength has turned into magical strength! In other words, with your strength in the Reverse Transition Period, you can be comparable to the strength of the Demon God level?" I asked in surprise.
"Not really. Xiao Qing shook her head.
"What do you mean?" I asked, looking at Xiao Qing suspiciously.
"First of all, have you ever seen magic at the Demon God level?" Xiao Qing asked, looking at me.
"Nope. I shook my head.
"With the strength of my reverse transition period, I can't support the magic of the demon god level at all. Xiao Qing said helplessly.
"But I see that you used a very terrifying power to attract demonic beasts before, and it is already a demon-god-level strength, so how did you do it later?" I asked suspiciously.
"I struggled for a while and then thought of using a spacer to store elemental energy. Xiao Qing said.
"That's one way. I nodded.
"Although this method is feasible, it is not very practical, because my own magic strength is not strong, and the space weapon needs to be replenished some time in advance, and it will not play a big role in battle. Xiao Qing said helplessly.
"That's right. I nodded.
"So I started looking for other ways, and by chance I found the Celestial Pestle, the treasure of the Wizards' Guild, with which I could better use the power of the demon god, so I gritted my teeth and stole it. Xiao Qing said.
"You're being hunted down by the Mage Guild?" I asked, confused.
"The treasure Tianqiao Pestle is hidden in a secret room under the guild's grounds, and no one has found it since I stole it, and I don't think anyone will find it for a while. I was hunted down by the Wizards' Guild not because I stole the Heavenly Pestle, but because I later discovered that the power of the demon god was discovered by the master, and he wanted to take it from me, so I had to kill the master. Xiao Qing said coldly.
"You killed your master?" I asked, surprised.
"Not only that, but there are only a dozen or so magicians who learned the news and wanted to take away the power of the demon god from me, I killed them all and finally the guild found out about me, and at the same time, it was also found out that I had stolen the Tianqiao pestle, so I had to defect from the magician guild, and I have been living a life of displacement and being hunted down until now. Xiao Qing said helplessly.
"Did you summon those monsters before because of the power of the Demon God?" I asked, thinking for a moment.
"There is not a single record of demon-level magic in the classics, but later I found out that there was a layer in the box with five auxiliary exercises about the demon god. Xiao Qing said.
"Auxiliary exercises?" I asked, looking at him suspiciously.
"These five auxiliary exercises are not demon god-level magic, but some special auxiliary abilities that can be used at the demon god level, these five exercises are Tongtian, Luodi, Yingren, Exorcism and Soul Splitting. Xiao Qing said.
"Can you show it to me?" I asked, laughing.
"The books are hidden in the heavenly pestle. Xiao Qing said.
"Oh, this Heavenly Pestle is a space device?" I asked in surprise as I looked at the Heavenly Pestle in my hand.
"The Heavenly Pestle itself is a space device that can store elemental energy and items, and it is about the same size as this room, and the space in which it stores elemental energy and items is separated. Xiao Qing said.
"That's very practical. "I handed the celestial pestle to Xiao Qing.
"There is also a very magical place in this heavenly pestle, it can usually gather elemental energy by itself, and it can store the gathered elemental energy in it little by little. Xiao Qing took the Heavenly Pestle, injected soul power, took out five classics, and put them on the table.
"Have you practiced it all?" I picked up the book and flipped through it.
"Although I already have the power of the Demon God, it is still very difficult to practice this classic, so I found two relatively simple and powerful exercises to practice in it, namely Slightly Earth and Exorcism. Xiao Qing said helplessly.
"One is to summon monsters, and the other is to escape?" I asked, after a moment's thought.
"yes. Xiao Qing said.
After a while, Na Lanlin and the others came to the hotel, walked into the room where Xiao Qing and I were, and Xiao Qing was startled, and when they saw Gu Yajing, they retreated directly to the corner of the wall, revealing a vigilant look.
"Master, do you want to arrest him?" asked Na Lanlin.
"Don't move. "I stopped them.
"Brother Shengtian, if you catch Xiao Qing, I can go back to the errand. Gu Yajing walked up to me and said.
"Gu Yajing, who else knows about you coming out to arrest Xiao Qing?" I turned my head to look at Gu Yajing and asked.
"It's a top-secret mission, and only the president, vice president, and I know about it. Gu Yajing said.
"But now that the president and vice president have been killed in battle, even if you catch Xiao Qing, who are you going to go to? And Xiao Qing has obtained the power of the demon god and returned to the guild, it will only be coveted by more magicians, and now the vitality of the Magicians Guild is greatly damaged, it is a turbulent period, if Xiao Qing returns to the Magicians Guild, it will definitely cause chaos. I said coldly.
"That'...... What should I do?" asked Gu Yajing at a loss.
"You should go back to the Wizards' Guild without this matter. I thought about it and said.
"This ......" Gu Yajing hesitated.
"Now that there are only a few high-level mages left in the Wizards' Guild, it's time to need you. If someone in the know asks, you will say that Xiao Qing died in battle when he was captured. I said solemnly.
"I see. Gu Yajing nodded.
"Xiao Qing, you will be free from now on, but it is better that you change your name. I said with a smile.
