Chapter 40: Soul Sacrifice
Thrown out of 'hopeless' by the centopus twice in a row, Yansheng Fox, who was standing on the edge of the whirlpool, wondered: "Is this question still right or wrong?"
Then he turned his head and looked back, only to find that on the island of 'no bones', there were thousands of tombstones neatly arranged and stacked on top of each other, which were evidence of the 'sins' committed by his soul.
A strong sense of guilt hits my heart, something blows into my eyes, or is something stuck in my throat?
He plunged again, leaping into the hopeless world, through the darkness, and appeared in front of the hundredclaw.
"I'm sorry, excuse me: how can I save my soul?" Yeonsheng choked up, full of apologies.
"Do you think it's important to have a soul?" said the hundred-clawed fish in a deep voice, and black gas continued to float through his nose and above the hopeless sky.
"Of course it matters, with a soul, I'm just like everyone else, and I can know who I am and where I come from?" replied without thinking.
"Why be like everyone else, and why cling to the past?" said the hundred-clawed fish's deep voice, with deep doubt.
"Why should I be different from others, the past belongs to me, it is the integral part of the 'me' that makes up the whole, the past is the source, without the source, without the root, even if I am a big tree, I will wither!" replied Yansheng.
"Do you know that 'one soul is worth ten lives'?" asked the hundred-clawed fluttering tentacles.
Yansheng was puzzled and shook his head.
"Your soul has killed thousands of souls in the sea of suffering, committing a heinous 'great sin', if you want to save him, you need tens of thousands of lives to 'sacrifice'!"
"Sacrifice, you let me kill 10,000 people?" Yansheng's mouth grew in surprise.
"Bastard, it is said that 'it is easy to kill, but it is difficult to save lives', and the 'sacrifice' of the soul requires you to save tens of thousands of lives in the world before you can forgive the 'sin and punishment' committed by the soul!"
"Why is that?"
"If the body makes a mistake, it needs to be saved by the soul, and if the soul makes a mistake, it naturally needs to be saved by the body!
How easy is it to live silently and save tens of thousands of lives? But without a soul, there is no complete self, without a complete self, there is no source, and without a source, where does the self come from?
"Yes! I promise you!"
"No, it's not to promise me, it's you to promise yourself! Centopus said.
"I know that you are responsible for making your choices!"
"Don't always say it so lightly! Remember, this is what you promised in your heart, and if you break your word, your soul will be ruined!"
"Forever?" asked Yansheng.
"Eternal life is hopeless, there is no hope of eternal life!" said the hundred claws slowly.
Yansheng sensed his soul and didn't move for a long time, so he asked, "What happened to your soul?"
"This is his choice, he chose to sleep, and when you keep the promise in your heart and complete the soul sacrifice, naturally, he will wake up!"
"What do you mean?"
"Of course!"
"In that case, I will believe you!" said Yansheng.
"The soul sacrifice is opened, the soul is asleep, the time is not right, there is no hope to open!" The tentacles of the hundred claws suddenly stirred, and Yan Sheng wanted to speak, but was thrown on the sea of bitterness again.
"This ......" Yansheng fixed his eyes, the sea surface was calm and soft, and there was no whirlpool abyss.
Standing in the sea of suffering, looking around, but not seeing the 'hopeless abyss', where has it gone?
Yansheng thought about it, and bowed three times to the 'corpse without bones' in the distance.
"Boom" time and space exchanged, only to see Yansheng slowly float from the waterbed, and the waterbed turned into a stone bed again. When I opened my eyes, I was already in the room.
Looking at Tianluo Spring Water, all three bottles were actually used up, and while he was sober, he continued to refine the energy in his tendons.
The sky was getting dark, and the continuous autumn rain actually lasted for a day.
Yansheng walked out of the mountain, facing the drizzle, looking for the figures of the three instructors in the camp tent.
"What are you doing?" shouted the scissors instructor as he saw Yeonsheng burrow into empty tents.
"Looking for you!" replied Yansheng.
"What's the matter?" asked the scissors instructor.
"I want to know about the 'Soul Sacrifice'?" said Yeonsheng as he wondered.
"Come in!" the scissors instructor called Yansheng into the tent.
Instructor Shi had just finished writing his report, and Instructor Bu had just returned from the Seven Palaces, and the two were preparing to have dinner.
"How diligent are you to be here today?" said the stone instructor.
Yansheng scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"Okay, just ask any questions, anyway, I'm used to the 'surprise' you send!"
"I want to know about the 'Soul Sacrifice'!" said Yeonsei.
Instructor Bu looked at Yansheng and said, "I didn't tell you?"
Yansheng stepped forward and said, "Instructor, when did you say that?"
Instructor Bu let out an 'oh', remembering that Yansheng had not opened his spirit, so he naturally hadn't talked about it in front of him. Then he smiled and said, "Sit down, I'll tell you slowly!"
Yeonsheng pulled out a stool from under the table and sat down.
Instructor Bu put away his smile and said with a serious face: "This 'soul sacrifice' is especially important for people who have soul power!"
Yansheng interrupted: "Then I don't have soul power, why did the hundred-clawed fish say 'open the soul sacrifice'!"
"You listen to me first, only you know your specific situation, after listening to me, see if it helps you, okay? Don't interrupt me!"
"Oh" Yansheng nodded, stopped talking, and listened quietly.
Instructor Bu continued, "The soul sacrifice is an invisible contract, a restrictive relationship between the body and the soul. You know, in this world, the most powerful power is soul power, and anyone who finds the soul attribute can have soul power. The strength of power often brings many uncontrollable results, and even disregards life, despises life, and calmly slaughters. In order to suppress the 'abuse' of this power, the soul sacrifice is naturally generated!"
Yansheng heard vaguely, and he didn't interrupt, so he could only continue listening first.
"Do you know that 'one soul is worth ten lives, and one life is worth a hundred souls'? This is not reciprocal, but incremental. If your body and soul merge and activate your soul power, you can't easily kill your soul, let alone kill people. If you kill one person's 'soul', you need to save at least ten lives, and if you kill one person, you have to save a hundred souls, otherwise, your soul power will become weaker and weaker, and you will keep falling down, and eventually you will become a 'soulless person'!"
"Is it like me?" asked Yansheng.
"I don't define this, if you don't use your soul power according to the guidelines of 'soul sacrifice', then your fate will be 'doomed', your soul will fall into the abyss, your body will be tormented, and finally disappear between heaven and earth, and never turn over again!"
"I still don't understand!" said Yansheng.
"To put it simply, you can't use your soul power to kill, kill a person, and your strength will continue to disappear, on the contrary, if you save someone, your strength will continue to increase!" said the scissors instructor.
"Then if I kill the 'Sea Monster', the power will also disappear?" asked Yeonseong.
"A man can't kill anyone, just like a tiger can't kill a tiger!" said Instructor Bu.
"Anyway, if I don't kill people, my soul power won't weaken, but I don't have soul power, so what will happen if I kill someone?"
"However, the hundred-clawed fish has already opened the 'soul sacrifice' on you, which means that even if you are fine, the punishment will appear on your soul, and if you kill someone, your soul may have to suffer for you! So, if you want to see your soul, you must first complete this first 'soul sacrifice' and save 10,000 lives!" explained the scissors instructor.
"Ten thousand, how long is that?" asked Yeonsheng.
"You don't like saving people?" said the stone instructor in a deep voice.
"I haven't saved anyone, I don't know if I like it or not!"
"Didn't you save people with your master?" asked Scissors.
"Absolutely!"
"Then you are not happy to see those 'patients' after they are saved!"
"Happy!"
"Isn't this over! Happy is like, do you still have any questions?"
Yansheng shook his head and suddenly woke up: "By the way, when I finally appeared on the Sea of Bitterness, I couldn't see 'hopeless', what's going on!"
"The Soul Sacrifice has begun, and only when you have saved 10,000 people will you have a chance to see your soul again!"
"Ahh Do you have to wait?"
"Boy, you have started a new journey, strengthen yourself and save more people!" Scissors put his arm around Yansheng's shoulders and said casually. He found that the more he pulled, the more he liked this kid.
Yansheng thought to himself: "Since it is your own choice, then be responsible! It's just a number, there is a number, there is a head, since you can get to the end, why care how far the road is, just follow it!"
The four of them sat down together for dinner again. This was a lucky day for Yansheng, at least, he didn't have to worry about it anymore.
Suddenly, Yansheng thought that he hadn't seen anyone else for four or five days in a row, so he asked, "Instructor, why haven't they seen each other for a few days?"
"Oh, they, everyone started to sprint, after fusing their soul power, they are excited, in the past few days, there are more than a dozen people who have broken through to the strength of two-star adventurers, and the others are unwilling to fall behind, they are all immersed in the cultivation of the seven halls, how can they want to come out!" said the scissors instructor with a smile.
"Hey, why can't you enter the Seventh Hall without soul power? I want to go in and have a look!" Yan Sheng said a little aggrieved.
"If you don't have soul power, if you enter the Seven Palaces, your body can't bear it, and if you don't have a soul body, there are too many impurities, not to mention that you can't pass the Water Wall Enchantment, even if you pass, you will also progress through the gate of the Seven Palaces!"
"I'm just curious, I'll go in one day!" said Yansheng confidently.
"Then I'll wait for that day to come!" the scissors instructor laughed.
"Instructor, there's one more thing I'd like to ask!" said Yansheng.
Instructor Bu smiled: "What do you want to ask?"
"It's soul power cultivation, is there any exercise, or mantra or something?" Yansheng's eyes widened.
"Yes, that's also after the Holy Moon adventurers, the adventurers under the Holy Moon only need to cultivate according to their soul instincts, and instincts alone take a long time to digest!" the scissors instructor replied truthfully.
"Oh, under the three stars, you can only use the instinct of the soul attribute!"
"That's right, that's what it means!"
The four of them happily raised their glasses, laughing, Yan Sheng's heart suddenly sprouted a strong curiosity, he wanted to use his 'internal force' to enter the Seventh Hall and see what the situation was?
