Buddhist monks already attach great importance to the cultivation of spiritual power, if even this old monk has not reached the realm of spiritual power great sage, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a spiritual power great sage in the entire Kunlun realm.

Zhang Ruochen's eyes showed a gloomy look.

The old monk comforted: "Life and death are fate, so why force it?"

Zhang Ruochen smiled: "The younger generation also understands this truth, but when he came to the underworld, he heard the legend of the elixir of resurrection, so he gave birth to some unrealistic hopes." ”

"Actually, if you can really find the legendary elixir of resurrection, then those who have lost their souls also have a certain chance to come back to life. The old monk sat down and motioned for Zhang Ruochen to sit down, and then said slowly: "First of all, you have to understand that people have three souls, the heavenly soul, the earth soul, and the human soul. The so-called soul scattering refers to the fact that the human soul in the three souls is broken and dissipated into nothingness, which has little to do with the heavenly soul and the earth soul. ”

Zhang Ruochen heard for the first time that the human soul was actually divided into three parts, and he felt quite novel, and asked, "Why aren't the heavenly souls and earth souls broken?"

"It's not that it won't break, it's that it's more solid, and it's not so easy to break. ”

"For example, Earth Souls. ”

"The so-called earth soul is equivalent to the shadow of a person. ”

"As long as the human body exists, the earth soul will always exist. When a person dies, he is buried in the earth, and when his body is one with the earth, he becomes bone, and he turns into dirt, and he turns into dust, and the soul of the earth will become one with the earth. Then, through the growth of all things, it returns to the human body, and from this, new life will be born. ”

"Therefore, even if the soul is scattered, as long as the earth soul is not destroyed, it can still be reborn, and it is not really dead. ”

Zhang Ruochen said: "Is this really the case?"

The old monk smiled: "Not necessarily, everyone's understanding of life is completely different. There are also some ancient sages who claim that the earth soul does not dissipate or merge into the earth, but enters the so-called underworld and the underworld. ”

"There is also a situation where a dead person dies at some special time or in a special place, and the earth soul can fall off from the body and turn into a fierce ghost. ”

Zhang Ruochen said: "So, the earth soul is a ghost?"

"You can understand it that way. The old monk said.

Zhang Ruochen pondered for a moment and said, "I understand! The reason why so many ghosts can be born in the underworld is because it is a special world, and the corpses floating from the upper reaches of the corpse river will break away from the corpses and turn into ghosts. In the Kunlun realm, places similar to the underworld are quite rare, so after death, people rarely become ghosts. ”

"That's true. ”

The old monk added, "Whoever can penetrate the secrets of the underworld may be able to obtain immortality." ”

Zhang Ruochen asked, "Then what is the Heavenly Soul?"

"Neither the heavenly soul nor the earth soul is in the human body. The earth soul is the shadow under the feet, but the heavenly soul is a part of the heavenly dao, which is more ethereal and illusory than the earth soul, and ordinary people can't perceive the existence of the heavenly soul at all. ”?“ Only Qi practitioners in ancient times knew how to communicate with the Heavenly Soul, and even cultivated the Heavenly Soul. They called the Heavenly Soul, known as the Yuan Shen, and through the cultivation of the Heavenly Soul, they obtained immortality. ”

"However, the secret method of cultivation in the ancient period has long been lost, and now there is no one who can communicate with the Heavenly Soul. All the cultivators in the Kunlun Realm, the martial souls and holy souls that have been cultivated, are actually just cultivating human souls. ”

Zhang Ruochen's heart moved, and he said: "Can the resurrection medicine help the dead, communicate with the heavenly soul, and thus come back to life?"

The old monk nodded and said, "Theoretically, this is indeed the case. ”

Zhang Ruochen thought of the Xuanji Sword Saint, although the human soul of the Xuanji Sword Saint had been shattered, the earth soul and the heavenly soul were not destroyed.

Other people may not know how to communicate with the Heavenly Soul, but they can definitely connect with the Heavenly Divine Tree.

Because, the Heavenly God Mu Nai was born from the beginning of the Kunlun Realm, and grew until the Middle Ages, and after experiencing every era, he may also know the cultivation method of the ancient qi practitioners. Each ring on the trunk of a tree is a volume of historical documents, which records the richest knowledge.

Since the Heavenly Divine Wood is injecting wisps of life qi into Xuanji Sword Saint's body, there is also a certain hope of helping Xuanji Sword Saint communicate with the Heavenly Soul and come back to life.

Now, it should just need an opportunity, an introduction.

At this moment, Mu Lingxi, who had fallen into a deep sleep, let out a soft groan and slowly woke up.

Zhang Ruochen's eyes stared at her. Her eyes were also fixed on Zhang Ruochen's body, and both of them smiled slightly.

is obviously always around, but it gives people a feeling of reunion after a long absence.

The old monk also smiled wisely, and continued: "The two of you are both blessed with outstanding people, and it is difficult to find one in a thousand years, but now the two of them are walking together, but they are a pair made in heaven. On Mu Lingxi's face, a rare flush appeared, and he was a little shy, and said, "Senior, I only have a relationship with him as a senior sister and brother." ”

"Whether it is a senior sister or brother, or a lover who is happy with each other, it is quite an easy thing to come together, and you must cherish it. ”

The old monk's gaze stared at Zhang Ruochen and asked, "The donor should be cultivating the Five Elements Chaos Body, right?"

"That's right. Zhang Ruochen said.

The old monk pondered for a moment and said, "Since you have met a poor monk, and the poor monk owes you a great favor, then the poor monk will help you." Of course, whether you can succeed or not depends on yourself. If so, if you can cultivate the Five Elements Chaos Body, it will be a huge creation. ”

Zhang Ruochen has already cultivated into the Water Spirit Treasure Body, the Wood Spirit Treasure Body, the Earth Spirit Treasure Body, and the Fire Spirit Treasure Body, and now, he only needs to refine the Golden Shenzhi and cultivate it into the Golden Spirit Treasure Body, then the Five Elements Chaos Body can be completed.

When cultivating the Four Spirit Treasure Body, it was already extremely difficult, and with Zhang Ruochen's own strength, it was impossible to successfully cultivate the Five Elements Chaos Body in the Fish Dragon Realm.

However, that old monk is a very powerful power, and with his help, Zhang Ruochen can fight hard.

"If you want to cultivate into the Five Elements Chaos Body, you must endure unbearable pain that ordinary people can't bear, and the test of willpower is even more than the test of your physical body. ”

As soon as the old monk's arms were raised, hundreds of golden flames flew out of his palms, wrapping Zhang Ruochen's body and making him fly slowly.

"Bang!"

Immediately afterwards, the old monk slapped out and hit Zhang Ruochen's chest, knocking Zhang Ruochen backwards, and the bones of his whole body seemed to be displaced, and his internal organs seemed to be broken.

"Bang bang. ”

The old monk continued to shoot, and the palm prints of his hand kept falling on Zhang Ruochen's body, hitting all parts of his body.

With a palm, there was a golden flame, which merged into Zhang Ruochen's body. Each golden flame was a small ball of burning golden Shenzhi medicinal powder.

Hundreds of palm prints were made in a row, Zhang Ruochen only felt numb all over his body, and he was in pain, his body was already tattered, and dense cracks appeared, as if he would be torn apart with a light touch.

The old monk did not intend to let him go, but threw him into the sea of magma, and his body was soaked in the hot magma.

The golden magma even poured into the cracks in the flesh, burning Zhang Ruochen's flesh and blood into a "whoosh" sound.

Even with Zhang Ruochen's willpower, there was a low roar in his mouth, and there was a feeling that life was worse than death.

Mu Lingxi stood on the shore, biting his lip tightly, very unbearable, looked at the old monk, and said, "Senior......?" The old monk shook his head and said, "Only if you suffer hardship can you become a master." He is destined to become a saint who will stand up to the heavens and the earth in the future, so he must put in more effort and endure greater suffering. Besides, the magma is infused with residual divine power, which has infinite benefits for his body. As long as his willpower is strong enough, he will definitely be able to get through it. ”

Five days later, Zhang Ruochen's physical body recovered again, and even if it was soaked in magma, it was no longer so painful.

However, the old monk fished him out and forcibly beat him out of his body with the medicinal powder of the Golden Shenzhi.

After hundreds of palms, Zhang Ruochen's body became tattered again, and he continued to return to the magma ocean, nourishing his body and enduring great pain.

Mu Lingxi has been guarding Zhang Ruochen's side, but the old monk is busy with some other things.

The old monk walked around the volcano, and with each step, a golden Buddhist inscription was engraved on the mountain. Mu Lingxi couldn't understand what he was doing, so he didn't ask.

In her heart, nothing is more important than Zhang Ruochen's safety.

This time, it took ten days in a row for Zhang Ruochen to recover.

"Bang bang. ”

Next, after another beating, the old monk injected all the medicinal powders of the Golden Shenzhi into Zhang Ruochen's body.

Zhang Ruochen fainted directly and fell into the edge depression of the magma ocean, only the upper half of his body was exposed, and blood kept flowing from his whole body.

The old monk said: "If he can survive this hurdle, the Five Elements Chaos Body can be achieved." ”

Mu Lingxi looked at Zhang Ruochen's injured body, and saw the position of the skull and bone cracks, and blood kept flowing out. Tears kept flowing in her eyes, and she said, "What if...... He's not going to make it this far, is he?"

"If you can't make it, you're going to die. If he wants to become a strong person who stands up to the sky, he always pays more hardships than ordinary people, and if he doesn't take such a risk, it is impossible for him to cultivate into the Five Elements Chaos Body. ”

After saying that, the old monk left again.

Mu Lingxi's eyes glanced at the old monk's back, and for the first time he found that this so-called holy monk was so ruthless.

At least, in her heart, she hoped that Zhang Ruochen could live a good life, rather than risk losing her life to cultivate the Five Elements Chaos Body.

......

(You should have guessed the identity of the old monk, right?)
