This is the spirit of Angelica Angelica.

Because of the privacy of Zhihai, the moment Bai Zhi took the initiative to incorporate a trace of Meng Zhou's soul phantom into Zhihai, it was equivalent to opening herself to the other party without reservation.

Open your heart, nothing more.

When Meng Zhou looked at Bai Zhi, Bai Zhi also happened to open his eyes to look at him.

Through those bright eyes, it seems that they can go deep into each other's hearts at once.

Bai Zhi paused slightly, then quickly staggered her gaze.

And her voice sounded directly in Meng Zhou's heart:

"If you really want to say it, this 'painting god' ability is not very special.

It has many similarities with the ability to draw shapes, but the biggest difference between the two is that drawing forms is the drawing of the body, and the mana is brush and ink.

And 'painting gods' is to paint with the soul of the gods, and use the soul power as the brush and ink......"

As he spoke, the Divine Soul Bai Zhi demonstrated it to Meng Zhou.

She stretched out her fingers and used her soul power as pen and ink to outline a character image that Meng Zhou felt quite familiar.

This is the image of a white-haired old woman.

At the beginning, when Bai Zhi first showed Meng Zhou the ability to "draw shapes", she used mana as pen and ink and the void in the real world as the canvas to outline the appearance of this white-haired old woman.

In the end, as the image of this old woman merged with Bai Zhi's own flesh and blood, her body changed into the appearance of a white-haired old woman.

It is not only the change of appearance, but also the mana breath, bone age, qi and blood, and even the unique decaying aura exuded by the body of the old man in the twilight......

But all the characteristics that can be expressed through the flesh and blood are perfectly expressed.

So that Meng Zhou, a veteran who prides himself on being proficient in disguise changes, can't see the slightest flaw.

The only flaw is Bai Zhi's soul.

And as long as she can't invade her sea of consciousness, the change of disappearance brought about by the "drawing" ability has no shortcomings at all.

Meng Zhou's heart was swirling with these thoughts, and the divine soul Bai Zhi had already used soul power as pen and ink to successfully draw the image of the white-haired old woman.

Then, with the image of the white-haired old woman outlined with soul power, it fused with the divine soul Bai Zhi.

Meng Zhou suddenly found that Bai Zhi, the divine soul who was still beautiful a moment ago, had turned into an old and twilight white-haired old woman.

Not only has the form of the Divine Soul undergone a complete change, but the Divine Soul Breath has also changed drastically, and there is no similarity in the slightest.

Although when the Divine Soul Bai Zhi began to draw, Meng Zhou had basically expected such a result in his heart.

But really seeing this scene happening, Meng Zhou's heart was still shaken.

So far, this is the first method that Meng Zhou has seen that can completely reshape the divine soul.

In many actions, Meng Zhou recorded a large number of secret methods of the Separation of Hates Sect in his mind.

This was the force he knew that was the best at playing with divine souls, but even so, Meng Zhou had never seen a similar method in the secret method inheritance of the Lihu Sect.

In the concept of the cultivation world, a person's body may be fake, but the divine soul cannot be faked under any circumstances.

Bai Zhi's complete reshaping from the level of the divine soul does not only have the ability to perfectly disguise changes.

Because of the characteristics of the Divine Soul, in the cultivation world, basically all contracts with strong constraints, secret methods with strong directions, or special marking and identification methods are built with the Divine Soul as the core.

Bai Zhi can achieve random changes and camouflage at the level of the divine soul, so as long as she is willing to let go of playing, she can not only be "thousands of people and thousands of faces", but also a "foreigner fanatic" who has been in the midst of thousands of flowers and does not touch a single leaf.

Contracts with strong constraints can be concluded and resolved at will;

Items that have been refined by the souls of others and can no longer be used by others can be used casually;

All the secret techniques that lock the soul can be easily flashed by her;

Dangerous areas that can only be entered by special personnel, feel free to enter......

……

Plus the ability to ignore any formation prohibitions.

It can be said that the biggest obstacle to how far Bai Zhi, who has mastered these means, can "play", is only in her own thoughts, or not.

And that's not all there is to the ability to "draw gods".

After the divine soul Bai Zhi recovered from the form of the old woman, she consumed her soul power and drew a small flying sword with the Void of the Sea of Consciousness as a canvas.

When the painting was completed, this soul power flying sword was like an extension of her divine soul body, and like a nimble swimming fish, under her mental command, swimming around Bai Zhi's body.

"This sword can directly attack other people's sea consciousness spirits."

"How's it powering?" Meng Zhou asked.

Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "I don't know, it should be...... Wouldn't it be too bad, right? ”

Meng Zhou thought for a moment and said to Bai Zhi, "You use this sword to attack me." ”

"Huh? This...... It's not appropriate, right? ”

Meng Zhou comforted: "It's okay, to put it mildly, even if you blow yourself up directly in my sea of consciousness now, it will be difficult to cause me too much harm." ”

"......" Angelica dahurica.

After Meng Zhou's repeated assurances, Bai Zhi finally mustered up the courage and threw the soul power flying sword.

In an instant, Meng Zhou had a very special feeling.

He immediately knew that his sea of consciousness was being invaded by a foreign object at the moment.

However, he also clearly felt that as long as he was willing, this invading foreign object would not be able to break through the defense of Zhihai at all.

Not only can it not be broken, but it can even directly "clip" this invading foreign object to death.

Meng Zhou's heart moved, but he took the initiative to let go of the defense of the sea barrier.

In an instant, a small soul power flying sword appeared in the sea of knowledge.

Then, piercing straight into the pool of souls.

At the moment of piercing into the soul pool, the soul power sword exploded with a "boom".

A small pit exploded on the surface of the soul pool, and a clear tingling sensation came from the bottom of my heart.

But soon, a faint light appeared in the entire soul pool, and the stinging sensation disappeared in a flash.

As a few ripples passed, the small Soul Pool pit disappeared, and the Soul Pool once again returned to the state it was in before the Soul Power Flying Sword pierced.

By testing the law, Meng Zhou had a more accurate judgment in his heart.

"This kind of soul attack method should be a fatal threat to the vast majority of early stage cultivators."

"Even a mid-stage cultivator can pose a big threat to them."

Of course, the Yudan monk here specifically refers to the Qingxuan Domain's scattered cultivation of the Yudan, if it is a disciple of a major sect, or a Jiedan with special means in terms of divine souls, the threat brought by this kind of soul power flying sword is much smaller.

But in horizontal comparison, among monks of the same level, this is still an extremely difficult means to understand.

After throwing the soul power flying sword, Divine Soul Bai Zhi was quite nervous and concerned about Meng Zhou's state, seeing that his face was always the same, she didn't know whether to be disappointed or happy.

"It seems that this kind of soul attack method is not very good."

In Meng Zhou's mind, Bai Zhi's voice sounded again.

Meng Zhou hurriedly relieved and said, "It's already very powerful." ”

Then, he immediately diverted the subject and asked:

"Since you can draw an attack with soul power, can you also draw a defense?"

Bai Zhi thought for a while and said, "I'll try." ”

It didn't take long for a soul power gauze to be drawn by her and worn directly on her body.

She sensed it carefully for a while, and said happily: "This method can really improve the defense ability." ”

Compared with the method of divine soul attack, this method of divine soul defense is more popular with her.

However, after this series of soul power consumption, the state of the Divine Soul Bai Zhi was not as good as before, and it was much weaker and weaker to the naked eye.

Bai Zhi didn't continue to try, but chatted.

Meng Zhou asked, "Can you use this method to directly obtain other people's divine soul skills?" ”

Bai Zhi was silent for a while, and then said to Meng Zhou: "Yes, however, I don't want to use this ability for the time being. ”

"Why?" Meng Zhou was puzzled.

Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment before whispering:

"As you know, there are relatively harsh conditions for mastering the ability of others by 'drawing shapes', and you can't just look at it and draw it.

It is necessary to have long, close contact with the drawing target.

And if you want to use the method of 'painting gods' to obtain other people's divine soul skills, the conditions are much harsher. ”

Speaking of this, Bai Zhi didn't say anything more.

Meng Zhou basically knew what she meant.

The technique of "drawing shapes" occurs in the real world, and also acts on the real world, and the contact and observation of the painting target also stops in the real world;

The technique of "painting gods" occurs in the soul of the sea god, and also acts on the soul of the sea god.

Then, the contact and observation of the goal of painting the god will naturally go deep into the soul of the sea god.

And because of the particularity of the soul of the sea god, who will open the soul for it to watch and copy?

Someone else promised to let her in, and did she really dare to do it?

Therefore, although the technique of "painting gods" theoretically has such an ability, it is similar to a "dragon slaying technique".

Meng Zhou thought in his heart, Bai Zhi's voice had sounded in Meng Zhou's mind again.

"I'll be familiar with it for a while, and when I'm proficient in it, I'll make you a set of soul power vestments."

When Meng Zhou heard this, he was surprised:

"Can you still use it for me?"

Bai Zhi nodded.

"Well, that's okay, it's just that because soul power has nothing to rely on, it can only be made into consumable soul power items.

However, if there was a special spiritual material like Yin Soul Jade, the situation should be better. ”

Meng Zhou asked, "I don't have Yin Soul Jade...... Is it okay to nourish the soul wood? ”

Bai Zhi was stunned when she heard this, and then nodded hurriedly after a while:

"Of course you can, the soul nourishing wood is a third-order superb spiritual material, right? The effect is only stronger than that of Yin Soul Jade. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Zhi saw Meng Zhou's Divine Soul Illusory Shadow disappear from her sea of consciousness.

Then, she saw an extra object in Meng Zhou's hand and handed it to her.

Bai Zhi looked down and said in surprise: "You really have a soul nourishing wood?" ”

Meng Zhou handed over this soul-nourishing wood from Yan Zhuang's collection to Bai Zhi, and said:

"You don't have to think about me, you can use this thing to make yourself a set of divine soul defense weapons."

Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment, but still put this thing away.

After this exchange, Bai Zhi began another retreat.

Meng Zhou's divine sense swept into the special divine soul armor in the Linghu space, and he groaned in his heart.

Bai Zhi's method of making the soul power vestment made it easy for him to think of this extremely special piece, which was likely to contain a deep pit of divine soul armor.

Previously, he had studied this strange object seriously.

To really say it, his attainment in the refining instrument has already reached the third-order level.

Even if you make a third-order high-grade magic weapon, or even a third-order top-grade magic weapon, it is easy to come by.

As long as there are special materials, such as Yin Soul Jade, Soul Nourishing Wood, etc., he can also use the legal method of refining weapons to make a defensive armor with no dead ends in all directions, from the soul to the body.

But this one was not, he had not seen any trace of the refining weapon on this Divine Soul Armor.

Completely incomprehensible.

The more I studied, the more I felt that it seemed to be like an empty gourd and a five-aggregate spirit gourd, giving people a feeling of being natural.

But Meng Zhou didn't believe that items that were obviously in the style of human clothes could grow naturally.

Previously, this doubt lay in his mind, and he couldn't find a way to solve it.

But now, because of Bai Zhi's "painting gods" technique, he has a feeling of sudden enlightenment in his heart.

The soul power gauze worn on the body of the divine soul Bai Zhi also has no traces of refining, and it also gives people a feeling of naturalness.

The biggest difference between it and the Divine Soul Armor is probably the different style.

Of course, there is a world of difference in the defensive capabilities of the two.

However, this is only reflected in the quality of the high.

For a moment, Meng Zhou even had an impulse to take out this thing, let Bai Zhi palm her eyes, and ask her:

"Is this thing also made by the painter with the ability of 'painting gods'?"

Fortunately, Meng Zhou restrained this thought of death before he really put it into action.

At that moment, he inexplicably thought of the death of Granny Bai and Yaya.

He warned himself in his heart: "In the future, don't let Bai Zhi see this thing." ”

……

In the blink of an eye, it was another three months later.

After another retreat, Meng Zhou put 8,000 golden beetle spirit insects into the Linghu space and asked Bai Zhi, "I'm going to go out, do you want to go together?" ”

Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "You go, I'm going to retreat." ”

Meng Zhou bowed his head, and soon, he escaped from the Aurora Cave Mansion again.

About an hour later, Meng Zhou came to the sky above a jungle shrouded in a black miasma and infested with a large number of insect swarms.

This kind of black miasma that could bring great trouble to the Jiedan monks and even the demon beasts in other areas of Tianqi Mountain did not hinder Meng Zhou in any way, and those poisonous miasma were wiped out by a layer of light mist that always lingered around him before they came into contact with him.

Yes, it's annihilation, not blocking.

At the time of breaking through the knot, Meng Zhou had completed the talent of almost all second-order skills, including the "Yan Luo Miasma".

Even after the knot, he almost didn't put his mind on the poison path anymore, and the natal living poison was constantly transforming and improving with the improvement of his strength.

Soon, however, more and more swarms of insects that were not afraid of death pounced on him.

They were not afraid of death, but they also got their wish, and after gathering near him, they fell like raindrops.

These insect corpses fell like raindrops, but they did not fall to the ground.

Because there was a layer of golden clouds clinging to the ground a few meters above the ground, moving with Meng Zhou's movements.

All the insect corpses that fell from the sky would soon disappear after falling into this golden cloud.

Except for the soft sound of spring rain like nibbling mulberry leaves, there is no abnormality.

When Meng Zhou went deep into this poisonous miasma jungle for hundreds of miles, he also followed the golden clouds that ate hundreds of miles along the way, turning from pure gold to dull gold.

Originally, the eight thousand golden beetle spirit insects with their bodies so golden that they were about to shine transparently had swelled a lot, and each one was almost the size of an adult's head.

One by one, the body is full of evil qi, and the poisonous miasma penetrates deep into the blood marrow, which is extremely hideous.

"Alright, here it is."

Meng Zhou stayed next to a canyon and took out a swarthy spirit gourd, and a steady stream of heart essence blood spurted out from the mouth of the gourd, forming a huge blood ball in the sky directly above the canyon.

As a strange sweet fragrance spread, the golden beetle cloud instantly boiled.

Then, one by one, they plunged into this huge blood mass.

After all the eight thousand golden beetle spirit insects were submerged in the blood group, Meng Zhou put away the Five Aggregate Spirit Gourd.

In the huge blood mass, dense spirit insects are infested.

Boiling blood, churning swarms.

The blood mass was slowly shrinking at a visible rate, but from beginning to end, not a single blood was splashed out, and not a single spirit worm was squeezed out.

The blood mass decreased rapidly, but the aura of the golden beetle spirit insect became more and more vigorous.

In the sky, before you know it, there are already large areas of clouds of calamity.

Because of the appearance of the clouds, the thick black miasma in the air was eroded out of a huge "hole".

With so many hearts and blood appearing in this void, it was attracted far more than just the Golden Beetle Worm Swarm that was close at hand.

Farther away, a large number of spirit insects were attracted.

However, when they frantically pounced on the front, they could not even grab a single blood foam except for the impatient wait-and-see from the periphery.

It is worth mentioning that whether it is fighting for their lives to eat the golden beetle spirit worm, or the various insect swarms watching from afar, because of the fatal attraction of high-quality heart essence blood to them, they completely ignore the threat posed by the rapidly spreading clouds in the sky overhead.

If the demon beasts still have basic spiritual intelligence, then these insect swarms really have no spiritual intelligence at all, they only have instinct.

At this moment, the bloodthirsty instinct overtook the survival instinct.

"The scale of this cloud tribulation is almost catching up with the ten Xuanling Turtles crossing the tribulation...... Tsk......"

Meng Zhou looked at the terrifyingly large cloud layer in the sky, and in order to avoid being affected by it, he retreated farther away, but he couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

……

As the cloud layer was completely formed and no longer expanded, a huge thunderbolt let out an earth-shattering sound and slashed down from the sky.

The blood mass that originally seemed to be still boiling and churning also dissipated cleanly in an instant, and there was only a mass of golden beetle spirit insects tightly packed together.

"Boom!"

The huge thunderbolt slashed squarely on the spirit insect group, and the spirit insect swarm that was originally tightly hugged together was instantly blown up into thousands of points.

Each dot represents a golden beetle.

On top of each golden beetle, there is a flash of lightning.

The golden beetle spirit insects that were blown up into thousands of points instantly merged into the dense and diverse insect swarms around them, which were attracted by the appearance of the essence and blood in their hearts.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

The thunder and lightning did not stop, and one after another slashed down.

However, these thunderbolts were scattered into thousands of wisps before they were finally solidified, and none of the golden beetle spirit insects missed the net, and they were all "strung together" by a single thunderbolt.

Not only the golden beetle spirit worm, but also a larger number of spirit worms were also affected by this electric light.

In an instant, a scorching smell permeated the four fields.

Dense insect corpses fell downwards like torrential rain.

However, these insect corpses had not fallen much before they were swallowed by the golden arcs of light that quickly swam in the void, and they quickly disappeared.

As the first huge lightning bolt fell, the "insect balls" formed by the massive golden spirit insects were blown apart, and thousands of spirit insects merged into the larger and larger swarms of various colors, and it could be clearly seen that a little pure gold was quickly "diluted".

But as the thunderbolts fell, more and more variegated colors were smashed out by the giant hammer of thunder and lightning.

And before these "variegated colors" fell, they also turned their heads to feed back the "gold", so that the "gold" accelerated its recovery, growth, and growth.

In this process, it is inevitable that there will be "golden" that will die and fall under the filter of thunder and lightning, and become the nutrients for other "golden" to further purify and grow.

As lightning fell, the size of the insect swarm above the canyon continued to shrink, and the color continued to purify.

The scale of the clouds in the sky also continued to decrease with the thunder and lightning falling again and again.

When the sky calamity cloud split out the last thunder, the follow-up was powerless, and slowly dissipated.

Above the canyon, the insect swarm, which was also covering the sky, turned into a thin dark golden cloud.

There is not a trace of other variegation.

The dark gold at this moment is fundamentally different from the dark gold that devoured a large number of poisonous insect swarms of various colors before.

The previous dark gold showed a "dirty" feeling to the naked eye;

And the dark gold at this moment gives people a sense of purity.

Meng Zhou's mind changed, and the dark golden clouds that drifted slowly over the canyon quickly swept away towards the jungle in the distance.

Everywhere I went, all the messy swarms disappeared cleanly.

Meng Zhou's consciousness sank into the Tongming Moon Mirror, and he could see that in the edge of the Tongming Moon Mirror, also in the outer area of this poisonous miasma jungle, there were several third-order demons attracted by the clouds.

However, they didn't make it to this point, and they were surrounded and overwhelmed by a massive swarm of insects.

Although, the swarms that drowned them were all at the level of first- and second-order strength, and there were no third-order swarms, but the ants mostly bit and killed elephants.

There are already many weak demons who have become food for the swarm.

The others have fought and retreated, retreating to the edge of the poisonous miasma jungle.

Meng Zhou looked at these from afar, and there was more understanding in his heart.

The reason why he chose to break through the golden beetle swarm here and find enough "blood bags" for them to make their breakthrough smoother was only one of the aspects.

He also had another purpose, which was to test his conjecture.

In terms of the scale of the killing, this time he died in his hands, at the hands of a large number of third-order demons, and the number of third-order demons who were swallowed up by this poisonous miasma jungle......

In terms of the degree of "abnormality", it has exceeded the scale of his own "fishing" in the previous tribulations.

But so far, it has not aroused the alarm of the "ecosystem" of Tianqi Mountain.

Having already broken through, thousands of third-order golden beetle spirit insects swept out hundreds of miles all the way in the posture of sweeping the leaves with a strong wind, sweeping away all the insect swarms in the range.

Returning to the edge of the poisonous miasma jungle, Meng Zhou looked back, and the poisonous miasma jungle, which was originally active and abnormal, became silent at this moment.

Meng Zhou then looked at the dark golden clouds that flowed and changed around him.

The scale of the spirit insects that make up this dark golden cloud is not too many or less, just four thousand.

In a conventional view, this is four thousand separate individuals.

But in Meng Zhouna's vision of a spirit master who had already reached the third-order level, what he saw was a whole that ruled over four thousand third-order golden beetle spirit insects.

There was a strange and spiritually powerful qi that connected four thousand third-order golden beetle spirit worms together.

This qi machine, placed on each golden beetle spirit insect, is very thin, so thin that it is almost impossible to sense, and it is easy to mix it with the qi of the golden beetle spirit insect itself.

Because the two themselves have more than ninety percent similarity.

This kind of qi machine is not only available after the golden beetle spirit worm breaks through to the third order, but it already exists when these spirit worms are still in the second order.

It's just that compared to now, this kind of gas engine is dozens of times thinner.

If it weren't for the fact that Meng Zhou had raised a full 60,000 golden beetle spirit worms at most, and he was as sensitive to breath as he was, he would have ignored this.

But after all, he still got some clues.

Now, this kind of qi that is highly similar to the golden beetle spirit worm's own qi machine, but it is more spiritual, and with the golden beetle spirit worm breaking through from the second order to the third order, it is much more obvious.

Although the specific individuals were still extremely thin, when they were connected into a whole by four thousand golden beetle spirit insects, it was difficult for Meng Zhou to ignore them.

Unless blind.

Meng Zhou screened the characteristics of this kind of qi machine, on the one hand, it was highly similar to the qi of the golden beetle spirit insect itself, or in other words, it collected the "commonality" of all the golden beetle spirit insects.

Here, the common characteristics of the golden beetle can be found.

In addition, it is far more spiritual than the individual golden beetle.

The individual Golden Beetle Spirit Worm did not become more intelligent because of its promotion from the second order to the third order.

They of the third order, just like they were in the second order and when they were in the first order, they were the purest killing weapons.

But on the other hand, the strange qi that gathered all the spirit insect individuals had undergone such a distinct change.

Coupled with the verification made by Meng Zhou through this tribulation itself, he already had a relatively firm guess in his heart.

"Since it is possible to appear an 'ecosystem' that covers all the demon beasts in the entire Tianqi Mountain, it has not a weak spirituality."

"That's just as good on a smaller, more precise scale."

"Among them, the most prone to similar phenomena is insect swarms."

"According to the inheritance of the Spirit Control Sect, although the species of insect swarms are strange, in general, they can be divided into two types.

One is the presence of a queen worm mother.

The entire swarm is made up of the core, and usually, they are the external brains of the entire colony.

The larger and higher the rank of the swarm, the stronger and smarter these king worms will be.

In addition to the queen insect mother, other insects will only have an increase in strength, and there will be no change in intelligence. ”

"In addition, there is another kind of insect colony, but it is equal to insects, and there is no queen insect mother."

"Theoretically, they don't have an organ responsible for thinking."

"But as the size of the swarm grows and the level of the swarm increases, the spirituality of the entire swarm becomes higher and higher, and it is obvious that it knows how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages, and continue the survival of the group." (End of chapter)
