Chapter 448: There is a Nine Heavenly Void that never returns
Tian Xiaoding met someone in his sleep who wanted to take away him. As a result, after he tried his best to resist and Qing'er joined halfway, he almost devoured the other party's spirit.
Seeing that things were not good, the other party hurriedly knelt down and begged Xiao Ding for mercy, and wanted to recognize Xiao Ding as the master. At this time, his divine soul was only one-third of its original size.
Xiao Ding and Qing'er swallowed two-thirds of this guy's soul together, not only restoring the part that Xiao Ding had been bitten off by the other party before, but also he and Qing'er's soul seemed to have grown a little taller, and at the same time became much stronger.
It turns out that devouring other people's souls can strengthen your own souls!
Xiao Ding saw that the other party was already begging for mercy from him, so he and Qing'er also stopped. After inquiry, I learned that this person was a flower monk, known as the magic lamp, and was known as the magic lamp mage. Before he became a monk, his common name was Aladdin. The reason why he is called this name is because he is an ethnic minority, with the compound surname Ala, and his three elder brothers, Alajia, Alayi, and Alabing, who are ranked here, and they happen to be Aladdin.
Xiao Ding knew that this Aladdin's magic lamp had nothing to do with the Aladdin's magic lamp in Western mythology and stories he had seen on Earth before. However, he actually met legendary characters one after another, and he also felt something new in his heart.
However, this Aladdin's magic lamp has repeatedly corrected Xiao Ding, saying that you can call him the magic lamp, or call him Aladdin, but don't call him Aladdin and the magic lamp together, that is the wrong name.
Xiao Ding smiled and nodded, and then asked him why he wanted to give up on himself, did he have no flesh himself?
Aladdin's magic lamp saw Xiao Ding asking the reason, and couldn't help but sigh, and then told his past experience.
It turned out that this Aladdin was also a human monk on Tiankun Star at the beginning. Cultivation once reached the void god stage. He had already started cultivating before he became a monk. Later, in order to be able to learn a profound Buddhist cultivation method, he went to a very famous local temple Yuanding Temple to shave as a monk, and his master gave him the name of the magic lamp.
The Divine Lamp Monk had a very good cultivation talent, and he cultivated in the Yuanding Temple, and soon became the best among the same group of disciples. Therefore, the abbot of Yuanding Temple intended to train him as an heir, and passed on the temple exercises of Yuanding Temple to him.
However, the reason why the monk of the magic lamp became a monk was to obtain this exercise, and he had no interest in becoming a monk at all. Even at that time, he was already known as the Magic Lamp Master by the pilgrims, but in his heart, he didn't like to be a monk.
So he often drank wine and ate meat, and repeatedly violated the precepts. In the end, he was expelled from the temple by the abbot of the temple.
Without the constraints of the monastery precepts, this magic lamp has no scruples and no taboos, and has become a veritable flower monk.
Later, the demons on the Tiankun Star began to invade the area occupied by the human monks. The Magic Lamp Monk also participated in the battle against the demons.
However, what he didn't expect was that in a battle between the powers, a power used a sword to split a crack in the space, and he was also fighting against the demons at the time, and accidentally was thrown into the crack by a certain power.
So, the magic lamp came here in a daze.
After he was thrown into the crack, the crack quickly closed again. Therefore, if he wanted to go back, he could not do it.
Speaking of this, Xiao Ding suddenly interjected and asked, "Aladdin's magic lamp, you said that you were also thrown here by someone from the spatial crack?" ”
The magic lamp nodded and replied, "Master, you should call me the magic lamp." I may have been thrown in by some demon power. ”
Xiao Ding asked again, "So, this is the void?" ”
The Magic Lamp replied, "Yes, that's right, this is the Void, known as the Nine Heavens Void. ”
"Nine Heavens Void?" Xiao Ding's face was clouded.
"Yes, the Void is also divided into many layers, and there are a total of thirty-three heavens. This is the ninth layer, so it's nine days. The lamp replied.
"So, these thirty-three heavens, each layer of heaven, are all different?" Xiao Ding asked curiously.
"Of course, these nine heavens are where the sun, moon and stars run. So the Sun and Moon you see here will feel very close and more numerous, and the other stars will be more, brighter, and bigger than you can see on Tiankun. The lamp replied.
"I see! I've heard that thousands or even tens of thousands of years have passed since the last war between humans and demons, and you've been staying here for so long? Xiao Ding continued to ask.
"It should have been more than 10,000 years, but I can't remember exactly how many years." Magic Lamp sighed.
"After staying here for so long, haven't you thought about finding a way to return to Tiankun Star?" Xiao Ding asked.
"Return to Tiankun Star? Easier said than done! If you want to return to Tiankun Star, you can only tear the space, and if you want to tear the space, you must at least reach the cultivation of the True Transformation Stage to be able to do it. When I came here, although I was already cultivating in the Void God Stage, I didn't have a trace of aura here, so I couldn't continue cultivating at all, so how could I reach the Enlightenment Stage? The magic lamp sighed helplessly.
When Xiao Ding heard this, his heart was cold, and he said in his heart, this is the end, it turns out that this Nine Heavens Void is a place where there is no return, and it seems that he may not be able to return to Tiankun Star in this life.
While feeling sad in his heart, Xiao Ding also began to sympathize with this Aladdin's magic lamp. So he continued to ask: "So what about the future, what have you done for so many years?" ”
I only heard the magic lamp continue: "When I found out that I arrived in the Nine Heavens Void, I was first thinking about how to return to Tiankun Star, so I began to wander around this desert, searching, trying to find the spatial rift that could return to Tiankun Star. ”
"Did you find it?" Xiao Ding was suddenly aroused by curiosity again.
"I did find three spatial cracks, but when I jumped in, I found that the world that those three cracks led to was not Tiankunxing at all, but other worlds. One of them is connected to a world of demonic beasts, and the beasts there are not ordinary demon beasts, but demonic monsters, which are very fierce, and I almost left my life there when I went. Fortunately, these three spatial cracks are all cracks that have been cracked for a long time and have not been repaired, they have always been there, and they will not close automatically. I was able to return the way I came. The magic lamp said.
"So, what about the other two cracks? Where do they lead? Xiao Ding then asked.
"The other two cracks, one leads to a planet without any species, and that planet is a big rock with no species on it, not even a single grass. There is also no water source. The remaining rift leads to a planet ruled by bugs. On that planet, there are all kinds of bugs everywhere. The big bugs are bigger than pythons, and the smaller ones are smaller than a grain of rice. Bugs flying in the air are bigger than eagles...... After I went, I didn't dare to show up, so I just went back the way I came. When the magic lamp spoke, the figure was trembling, and it seemed that he was still afraid.
After hearing this, Xiao Ding felt very novel, he had never been there in person, and he couldn't experience the fear of the magic lamp. So, he continued to ask, "Later, didn't you find any other spatial rifts?" ”
"It has taken me hundreds of years to find these three cracks. Above these nine heavens, there is no aura, and even food is very scarce. I do have some food stored in my ring. With my cultivation at that time, I was able to eat once in a few months without starving to death. Even so, in the end, all the food I had stored was eaten and drunk. The magic lamp said sadly.
"And then, why weren't you starved to death?" Xiao Ding asked.
"After I ate all the food, it was difficult to find food in this Nine Heavens Void, so in order to survive, I began to devour the magic weapon in my Na Ring." The magic lamp said indifferently.
"Devouring the magic weapon? Can you eat the magic weapon? Xiao Ding's eyes widened in surprise.
"Of course, the magic weapon can't be eaten, but the magic weapon will have aura gathered in it, and after I devour the magic weapon, I can absorb the aura that comes with it, so that I can continue to live."
"It seems that it is really not easy for you, in order to survive, you even swallowed the magic weapon." Xiao Ding sighed.
"yes. However, even this did not keep me up for many years. After about a few hundred years, I have no more magic weapons to devour except for the last treasure. The magic lamp said again.
"The last treasure, didn't you keep a hand?" Xiao Ding asked.
"The master is right, I did keep a hand, this last treasure is a spiritual treasure, called the soul gourd, which can be used to store the treasure of the soul. I kept it because I knew that even devouring it wouldn't allow me to live many more years. I kept it because I wanted it to be my soul when my body died. ”
"Pretending to be a spirit? Don't always call me master, I haven't recognized you as a slave. Xiao Ding glanced at the already very weak spirit in front of him and said.
"Master, over the years, you two are the only humans I have encountered. I don't know how you came to this Nine Heavens Void. But I knew that my spirit was about to dissipate. If you don't save me, master, then I'll soon be gone. The spirit of the magic lamp trembled violently, as if it was in a hurry.
Xiao Ding said unmoved: "So you want to take away from me and occupy my body? ”
The magic lamp knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiao Ding repeatedly, and said, "Master, I was wrong, I was wrong, I shouldn't covet your body." Actually......, in fact, old man, no, I, I'm also forced to do it! ”
Speaking of this, the magic lamp paused slightly, and then continued: "Back then, after my physical body was destroyed, I put my divine soul into my soul gourd. And buried deep under the sand to protect it from the scorching sun. Although the Divine Soul does not need to eat anymore to survive, it needs to be nourished by the Aura. However, there is not a trace of aura in the Nine Heavens Void, and as the days go by, my spirit is gradually weakening, although the speed is very slow, but one day it will finally dissipate. There is no way, I can only nourish my soul by consuming my own cultivation. So, in these tens of thousands of years, I have exhausted all my cultivation, and now I can no longer consume it, and when I saw that my soul was about to fly away, I happened to meet my master, so I had the heart to give up. I'm sorry, master, but I was blinded by lard, and I hope that my master will not bother with me, and recognize me as a slave, and I will serve my master as a cow and a horse in the future. ”
