Chapter 446: Mana
The breakthrough in the Shenhai Period was even more difficult than Lu Qing imagined.
He's been doing penance for fifteen years, and it's still real time. Counting the cultivation effect in the secret realm beyond the starry sky, and the time saved in the Spirit Gathering Temple, it would have been forty or fifty years in total.
After such a long period of time, he had indeed reached the peak of the Law Phase. But even with his powerful talent and skills, he is still a little short of the door crack of the final Shenhai Period.
It's hard to squeeze in.
However, although the breakthrough has not yet been completed, in the process of trying to break through the deep sea level, Lu Qing has gradually noticed and felt the power of the divine sea level.
The core power of the Shenhai level lies in the 'world'.
At the level of the Dharma Phase, the monk turned his own strength, divine soul, and other core powers into the Dharma Phase, which stood up to the heavens and the earth. And in the Shenhai Period, this aspect will further change, and create a world in the form of a creator god.
Of course, the reason why this so-called 'world' is put in quotation marks is that it does not exist in reality, but in the monk's body, which is a combination of spirit and matter.
Construct a small world in the body, no matter how simple this small world is, it can at least be regarded as a 'world'.
And this is the power of the so-called 'Divine Sea'.
The power of the Dharma phase comes from the power of absolute condensation, and the external image that is revealed is the body of the Dharma phase, and the power of the Divine Sea period comes from the primitive world, and this world is constructed by the monks themselves.
And Lu Qing is now stuck in his own body and building a world that belongs to him.
This difficulty is not low.
This time he retreated and cultivated his cultivation at the Fa level to the peak of perfection, and it didn't take much time, which was only the first third. The rest of the time, he spent all his time trying.
It's not that the progress is nothing, but it's a lot of work.
The world that has been built always collapses quickly after a prototype and a framework has been built.
The whole world is like a house without pillars. When Lu Qing urged his strength with all his strength and was struggling to support it, this 'house' could still be maintained and would not collapse, but as soon as he let go, it would collapse immediately.
It doesn't make any sense.
The reason why the monks of the Shenhai period are powerful is that the inner world they construct can become the internal driving force that urges the monks' strength, and is the core of their strength and the source of their strength, not a means. That Lu Qing is now, the inner world that he has constructed still needs to be maintained with all his strength, and even when it is maintained, it almost involves all of his energy, and there is no way to use any other means to fight or do other things.
In this case, it must not be said that the breakthrough was successful.
The only thing that is fortunate is that even if this so-called inner world collapses, it will not affect the safety of the monks themselves. Otherwise, Jiuguang Lu Qing has experienced so many failures, even if he is extremely talented, it is enough to declare his life in danger.
However, despite this, Lu Qing still had a headache.
This breakthrough is too difficult.
But, in any case, he can still be considered to have some clues. At least, he has been able to successfully construct a world, even if there is no way to let this world sustain itself for the time being, at least he can be regarded as having seen the light of day.
In fact, even if it is only this level of achievement, it has only been explored by Lu Qing in recent years. Before that, he was like a headless fly.
Although there is a method of how to break through the Shenhai level in the exercises of the Taishang Sutra, although this method can be understood before it is mastered, it is different from how to really learn and master it skillfully.
Let go of some chaotic thoughts, now that the dawn has appeared, Lu Qing has to continue this breath no matter what!
Directly constructing a world and supporting it with its own strength until it is perfected enough to operate on its own is the conventional means recorded in the Taishang Sutra to break through the Shenhai Period.
But now, it doesn't seem to work.
Lu Qing also tried to analyze why it didn't work.
In his opinion, this should be due to the fact that the strength of the cultivation world is still insufficient. The ceiling of the power line still exists, and under this kind of ceiling, with Lu Qingzhi's talent and exercises, it can only be said that he can vaguely see the crack in the door of the Shenhai Period. In this case, it is not impossible to support the circulation of an inner world through conventional means.
But in the Taishang Sutra, there is also a relatively alternative method of breakthrough.
Since it doesn't work to build an inner world directly, start from scratch.
The way to achieve this method is to compress all of your own power, including the Fa phase, and press it as hard as you can until it becomes a singularity, and then it will burst out in an all-round way.
If it is done, then a primordial inner world will be constructed.
The inner world that emerges in this way, because it is developed by itself, not built by manpower, all that is natural will be inherently more perfect, and it will not encounter the situation of supporting pillars, and it can be self-circulating.
However, this breakthrough method also has its natural disadvantages:
Dangerous.
Lu Qing had tried to build the inner world many times in the past few years and failed, but he hardly paid much price. This means that it should be relatively safe to use conventional means to break through the Shenhai period. Even if it fails, it is just the collapse of the inner small world that has been built, and it will be good to rebuild it.
However, to build the inner world through the singularity explosion, it is really not good to play, and you will blow yourself up.
This is also one of the main reasons why, after encountering the failure of Cuodi before, Lu Qing did not directly try to use this method.
However, now it seems that it is not necessary.
Of course, another important reason for making such a judgment is that Lu Qing also carefully assessed his physical state and whether he could survive the singularity explosion after the failure.
If he really blew himself up, he would rather not break through, and Lu Qing would not take such a risk.
There is no need. It really didn't work, so he used the resurrection exchange item, went out to find a few world locks, and found a way to recover the source of world power, and expanded the upper limit and ceiling of world power a little more, which would be of great help to him breaking through the Shenhai level. It is estimated that if one or two more world lock sources are opened, he can construct an inner world that can circulate on his own through normal means.
What's more, at the moment, he is not facing any huge dilemma of having to break through, or dying if he doesn't break through and enhance his strength.
In this case, if the risk of the breakthrough method of singularity explosion is huge, even fatal, then Lu Qing will not be stupid and has to try it.
But...... Isn't this a self-test, and the risk is completely controllable?
For ordinary monks, the breakthrough method of the singularity explosion may be the same as the previous large-level breakthrough, which is to die, at least seriously injured, or even fundamentally injured if it fails. But for Lu Qing, on the one hand, the level of the Taishang Sutra's exercises is high, and the effect is also very good, even if the creation fails in the end, there is also a good protection mechanism, which can greatly reduce the price paid by Lu Qing.
Another point is that the 'Primordial Holy Body', a powerful thing that integrates many top-level talents, makes Lu Qing's ability to withstand it extremely strong.
Judging in this way, even if the singularity explosion fails, it will not kill him, and at best he will be injured.
And the injury...... Lu Qing is not afraid. Relying on his talent and exercises, even if it is a very serious injury, he can recover relatively easily, it just takes some time.
After evaluating it in this way, Lu Qing was ready to start trying it.
Not on the Jade Smoky Mountain, of course.
Jade Smoky Mountain is its own lair, so it must not be risked.
The singularity explosion is essentially to condense one's own power into a point to a great extent, and then explode in an all-round way. If it succeeds, then it is good to say that the power that bursts out will be controlled within the body and become the inner world of the cycle.
But if it fails......
The power that is out of control erupts out, and it is definitely the destructive power of the Shenhai level. If this power erupts on the Jade Smoke Mountain, then not to mention whether the people in the spiritual vein can survive or not, and how much they can live, I am afraid that the entire mountain will be blown away.
The risk that Lu Qing can bear does not mean that Lu can bear it.
Moreover, because of the power of the system, the free and free high-quality aura is almost inexhaustible, and when Lu Qing breaks through, he doesn't need to worry about the source of power in the external environment, and he doesn't necessarily have to find a place with a strong aura to make a breakthrough.
Well, this choice is easy to make: go to the depths of the East China Sea and find a place, wouldn't it be good?
When he broke through the Fa level before, the place he chose was quite good.
As soon as his mind moved, he set off directly.
......
A year later, Lu Qing, who was at the bottom of the sea, had no breath at all.
When all of his powers, from the essence and blood of his body, the true element in his body, the power of his divine soul, and even his body of Dharma Appearance, which should be incomparably large, were all compressed to become a tiny 'point' that did not exist at all on the macroscopic level, the outward manifestation of his physical body would naturally be as if he had died, without any life.
And right now, Lu Qing can't pay attention to what his appearance looks like at all. Squeezing all the power into a singularity is easy to say, but sitting up is simply too difficult.
At first, it was okay to say a little bit, but the further he went, the smaller the point was squeezed, and the greater the resistance he encountered.
Even with his powerful control of power, in the later stage, it is quite unsustainable.
What he can do in the end can only be little by little, shoehorn his power into the singularity, and control the point that has been compressed and blocked with very powerful power, so as not to explode in advance.
How is this a hard work?
During the whole process, Lu Qing was quite frightened, especially in the recent period, he was afraid that he would not be able to control it well, and if his power exploded in advance, it would be a failure.
Fortunately, no matter how frightened he was, he still did it.
So, the rest of the ...... It depends on the destiny of heaven.
At this point, Lu Qing has never had much worry.
Destiny is this thing...... If not to me, to whom?
Holding his will, Lu Qing let go of all restrictions, and then immediately turned around and began to control his power.
The singularity explodes, not to let it explode. If it was completely out of control, then such a huge force would instantly break away from his body and begin to expand outward, eventually causing a violent explosion like a nuclear bomb descending into the world.
In that case, it is just the catharsis of the power in disorder, and it has nothing to do with the formation of an inner world with the ability to self-circulate.
Explosions are not an end, but a means. In essence, it is to simulate the birth of the world through the process of extreme compression and explosion of this power, so as to form an inner world with the ability to circulate on its own.
And in this process, in order to keep the power out of control, it is impossible to let the impact of the explosion leave the body.
Lu Qing is trying his best to control this at the moment.
It's harder than you think, but ...... He did it.
In his perception, everything in his body changed.
Originally, the body with distinct meridians, flesh and blood, and internal organs had completely disappeared under the violent explosion—or rather, it still existed, but all of them merged into a completely fictional chaotic world.
This chaotic inner world can only appear within him. Inside, everything is empty, but not the dead nothingness, but more like the germination state in which everything will begin. This kind of 'emptiness' is the 'emptiness' of great vitality.
"Original...... Is this how the world first began?"
Lu Qing suddenly had such an understanding in his heart.
Putting his feelings aside for the time being, Lu Qing turned to test his strength with great interest.
The body of the law can still be displayed, but the principle is completely different.
The original body of the Dharma phase is a manifestation of the power of its own Dharma phase, projected to the outside world.
And at the moment, this Dharma phase body is more like the power of the inner world, a projection of the outside.
The biggest difference is the difference in the nature of power.
He controls it and is no longer a true element, but a new, different in nature, and at a higher level.
In the records of the Taishang Sutra, this power is called 'mana'.
The characteristic of the power of 'mana' will reach the true immortal level.
