Chapter 184: The Deep Sea
Chen Rui was overjoyed: The output of the Star Garden has tripled! It has also increased the quality! It is worthy of the king-level elemental heart with the power of the earth!
What's even more amazing is that, just like the Gathering Spirit Flower planted in the Star Garden, the Earth Elemental Heart can still play a corresponding role in the Star Garden, such as increasing spiritual power, spiritual cultivation assistance, "Earth Mastery", etc.
When Chen Rui's gaze fell on the fruit-like heart of the earth element on the small tree, a reminder appeared again, "Unknown source of damage, unknown repair conditions." "It seems that we still have to find the Requiem Fruit to really repair it.
The effect of an Earth Elemental Heart is really amazing, but unfortunately it is only used for a year, it would be nice if you could find a way to extend it, and then you will keep it for yourself and not return it to the Earth Elemental King.
Chen Rui's selfish heart suddenly reflected: Moore has been spending Liliang to protect Athena, and he has entrusted the elemental heart to him so trustingly, how can he have such an ungrateful and bad idea?
By the way, it must be the negative impact of the power of the stars, this influence is becoming more and more obvious, and it seems that it is time to start refining the heart.
The statue of the Earth Elemental King Moore has been moved to the Fountain of Life by the Earth Elemental Man, and Athena still has ten days to wake up, and Chen Rui is sitting on the ground in the Earth King's Court and has entered the super system.
In the few days in Dark Moon City, Chen Rui was in the jade, and he was already able to really calm down in the court, or he could meditate in the meditation. The Earth Elemental King had said that a quiet state of mind was only the most basic step, and that it was necessary to further temper this state of mind in difficult circumstances.
Chen Rui thought for a while and decided to choose a scenario that he had never tried before: the deep sea.
After determining a hundred times the time and the deep-sea scene, Chen Rui was already in the seawater, and he was suddenly breathless. He was taken aback, he originally thought that he chose to dive on the surface of the sea, but he knew that as soon as he came out, he would be in deep water. At this moment, Chen Rui felt that some kind of change had occurred in his body, mainly in the gills, like a fish being able to breathe and swim underwater, this feeling was amazing.
However, the wonderful feeling only lasted for a moment, and Chen Rui felt that the water pressure around him was very large, and his body was extremely strained, especially his eyes and internal organs, which was very uncomfortable, this feeling was completely different from the rules of gravity, the pressure came from all directions, and it was impermeable. Compared to the monstrous dynamics of the angry sea, the deep sea is as quiet as a mirror, but it is still more dangerous.
Water pressure is quite terrible is a weapon, for example, in the 10,000-meter-deep abyss, a few centimeters of small fish and shrimp are subjected to a pressure of nearly a ton, if you change to an armored car, you would have been flattened long ago.
Deep-sea fish are able to withstand stress because their physiology has evolved adaptively, with very thin bones that bend easily, muscle tissue that is particularly flexible, and fibrous tissue that is surprisingly fine. What's even more interesting is that the skin tissue becomes just a very thin membrane, which fills the physiological tissues of the fish with water and maintains the balance of internal and external pressures.
Once the internal and external pressure is unbalanced, the entire internal organs will be destroyed. When Chen Rui entered the training mode, what he changed was only the function of underwater breathing, and there was no evolutionary transformation similar to that of deep-sea creatures, otherwise this would not be training, it could only be regarded as deep-sea tourism.
It is precisely because there is no such transformation that Chen Rui's internal organs will feel a strong pressure, he swims for a while, and sure enough, the pressure around him is a little less, the higher he goes, the smaller it is, and the other way around, the greater it is, and he can regulate it freely. Chen Rui chose a depth that he could bear, assumed a cross-legged posture in the water, and began to try to enter a "quiet" state of mind.
After several previous practices, coupled with the peaceful environment in the water, I soon entered a very comfortable state of mind. However, this kind of pressure is obviously not enough, Chen Rui controlled his body to gradually fall, and felt that the pressure around him gradually increased, at first it was okay, and then he could only use star power to fight the pressure while maintaining calm.
Chen Rui now vaguely understands that the Star Temple and the Stellar Galaxy should be a separate spiritual space, and if he dies in the training field, it is likely to be directly fed back into the real brain life, causing the nerve center of the brain to stop all activities, causing the real consciousness to die, so he can't rush in.
Due to the pressure around him, most of his attention was focused on confrontation, and it was difficult for him to really calm down for a while. ,
I remember that there is a sentence in Jin Lao's martial arts famous chapter: "He is strong, he is strong, the breeze blows the hills, he is horizontal, and the bright moon shines on the river." This sentence sounds very reasonable, but it is too difficult to do, and now if you let "him" be strong, then your internal organs will be shattered, and how can the breeze blow the hills?
Chen Rui couldn't help but be a little anxious, so he could only try to use the old method to flash the past in his mind, including missing Athena, trying to really restore the realm of meditation, when the past reappeared in front of him, as if many people recalled the past, as a bystander, he felt that the protagonist in the "movie" was very stupid, and people often complained that there was no regret medicine to take. But will some things change even if he takes the regret pill? If he did it all over again, would he still desperately teleport with Bai Luo in the Night Wetlands? Will he kill Rose in Leia Town? Or will Athena burn her own life for him?
The answer is yes, no matter how much I change, even if I am reborn to a new shijie, even if I live again, some things still won't change, I'm still me.
Chen Rui seemed to have an understanding, and unconsciously the pressure around him seemed to have weakened a lot, and his spirit began to relax, and there was a faint state of mind of "holding the yuan and keeping one, not being moved by external objects", and gradually, he entered the familiar state of meditation.
The bits of white light emitted by the Heart of the Earth Elemental in the Garden of Stars became even brighter, and at the same time, the galaxy map in the Star Temple's status bar also emitted a corresponding light, and the originally hazy details and textures of the planet became clearer.
Shijie can't see the outside world in the underground, and the time can only be determined by the discoloration of some special types of rocks.
Tao Ge and Soge were at the door of the Earth King's Court, looking at Chen Rui who was sitting motionless from a distance.
"Soge, do you feel the power of the earth move?"
Soge nodded: "Of course, I didn't expect that Chen Rui's aura was enough to attract the power of the earth, and it should be the king's elemental heart at work." ”
Tao Ge hesitated for a moment and said, "Although he is only a demon king, somehow, I always have a feeling of uneasiness in my heart, especially when he is motionless wearing a mask. Perhaps it was a delusion, but I sometimes perceived an aura from him, somewhat similar to that of the king when he was occupied by Groffen......"
Thorge asked, "Are you worried that he will become a second Groffen?"
"Yes", Tao Ge's eyes were full of solemnity: "Chen Rui's Liliang is very magical, if he reaches the Demon Emperor level, he may be even more terrifying than Grofen If he really becomes a slave of the mask, then even if the king is resurrected, he will not be his opponent." ”
Thorge stared into Taug's eyes and said, "So now is it time to solve this scourge in advance?"
"The heart of Wusu is still in him, he is the only hope for the king's resurrection, how can he hurt him?"
Thorge shook his head: "I know you are loyal to the king, but your thoughts are more disrespectful to the king, and you are questioning the king's decision. In the battle of Zuihou in the Minotaur Lair, Chen Rui put on the God-Devouring Mask for the first time, and I once wanted to kill him in order to prevent the mutation, but it was the king who stopped me. Chen Rui is our recognized friend, and he is also the benefactor of our earth elemental people and even the entire underground shijie, we should trust our friends just as the king trusts him. ”
Tao Ge pondered for a moment and nodded: "You are right, I should believe in the king's vision, and I should trust my friends. I would like to express my sincere apologies to him. ”
"No, I don't think he will. Let's go, let's protect the domain of the earth, and don't let anyone disturb his practice. ”
Chen Rui didn't know what the two elite earth elementals outside were talking about him, even if he could hear it, he couldn't think about it, at this time he was already in a strange realm, his body instinctively adjusted his star power to adapt to the water pressure, and he didn't feel anything in his heart, only a little clarity in his consciousness.
Chen Rui closed his eyes and let his body float in the water, no matter how the pressure changed, he always maintained that little "quiet" state of mind in his heart.
It is not easy to do this step, this is the third time he has entered the deep sea, and he has experienced countless attempts before, including taking a lot of detours, just like striking iron, tempering in practice little by little, removing dross and impurities, leaving the true essence. The star map in the status bar has become very clear, and although the light is soft, it has been shining in a balanced way, which is completely different from the previous time when it is bright and sometimes disappears. ,
Although the spiritual realm can be above the body, it cannot completely offset the pressure on the body, Chen Rui's current pressure has reached the limit, and if it goes deeper, the body will not be able to stand it and collapse.
However, Chen Rui has mastered all the tricks of refining the mind, and after finishing this practice, he did not enter the deep sea again, but chose other environments, such as glaciers and volcanoes, like some ascetics, tempering his mind in various harsh environments, during which the hardships and dangers are not known to outsiders, but the effect is becoming more and more obvious.
Chen Rui's cultivation is in line with the requirements of the Fierce Realm to refine the heart, in fact, he doesn't know that the Fierce Realm not only needs to refine the heart, but also needs to accumulate and consume a huge amount of soul liliang, and constantly strengthen himself in the tempering.
Chen Rui, by chance, devoured the soul power of the Grofen Demon Emperor level, saving the accumulation of soul power, and actually took a shortcut. It's just that this shortcut is the coexistence of opportunities and risks, if it is the soul liliang that you have accumulated, you will naturally not have the danger of losing consciousness in the end: but the soul power you have accumulated is far from reaching the strength of the Demon Emperor level, and it will take more time.
As long as Chen Rui can survive the difficulties of Zuihou, he will be able to completely digest the Demon Emperor-level soul liliang, and at that time, he will not only be able to break through the Flame Realm in the shortest possible time, but his strength will also be much higher than expected.
There was another thing that surprised Chen Rui, the spiritual power support provided by the Heart of the Earth Element was even more powerful than he imagined, not only the "amount." "The "quality" aspect has also been greatly enhanced, and the progress and success rate of the in-depth analysis have been greatly increased.
After reaching 50%, in the super system star system, the mask suspended in the air gradually changed, and the mask that originally only had eye holes appeared with clear facial features, which was Chen Rui's face! . )
