Chapter 1120: The Test of Freedom from Bondage
Cultivators cultivate distractions such as incarnations outside the body, or the second elemental god, on the one hand, to allow themselves to have the ability to separate themselves, and on the other hand, to prepare a way back for themselves. Although, at a certain level, this method is indeed quite useful, it does not mean that there is really no method of restraint.
There is a saying that "the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high", or some people will be used to saying it the other way around, but the general meaning is almost the same, to put it bluntly, it is "one thing descends one thing". Perhaps, in the history of the monastic world, when those distractions first appeared, it was indeed "invincible" for a period of time. However, if you give an upper link, someone will give a lower link, and there will be some targeted magical secret techniques after all.
The secret techniques for the method of distraction may be collectively referred to as "chasing souls and seeking life". As long as a person's deity or distraction is caught, other distraction incarnations related to it can be traced. Of course, this kind of method is not something that anyone can use, but at least at the level of a true immortal, there should be no problem.
Therefore, the method used by this Outer Heaven Demon is similar to the method of distraction of cultivators, and I am afraid that it will not be able to escape the soul chasing of that true immortal. Only in this way, with desire as sustenance, and not too deep a connection with the divine soul, can there be a chance to avoid the pursuit of the true immortal and leave a trace of hope for rebirth.
In fact, it can also be said that the true spirit in the desire may not be the true spirit of the original demon outside the world. This is like the practice of the technological world, which once tried to replicate and store memories to achieve the goal of eternal life. Yes, memories can be copied, and they can be copied into the clone's body exactly whatsoever, but is that clone really still you?
In fact, this secret technique of the Outer Heaven Demon is similar to backing up data on a computer, and then re-breeding the true spirit with those memories. And the result of this is that when he dies, he is really dead, and it is just a desire to give birth to a true spirit, inheriting his original memories.
Of course, in terms of inheriting memories, this can also be regarded as a kind of rebirth. At least, the remnant soul of desire that has memories really thinks that he has escaped, thinking that he is really the original "self".
Speaking of this space, this spiritual space of the evil demons outside the sky, it is obvious that not all desires have escaped. Except for the desire that was placed in the core of his heart, all the other desires should have been destroyed by that true immortal. After all, having been at war with the Outer Demons for so long, the Immortal Court also had some understanding of the methods of the Outer Demons.
It's just that the desire for this thing is really innumerable, and it is difficult to chase the soul like dealing with distraction.
What is desire? I like this stone, it's a desire, and in turn, I hate this stone, it's also a desire. There are hundreds of millions of things in the world, and the demons outside the world have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, and they have seen countless things. And all his perceptions of those things, whether they love or dislike, can become a desire being.
Although he came back from speaking, it was impossible for the demons outside the heavens to really refine all those hundreds of millions of desires. But as long as you pick some desires that others can't guess, you have a chance to avoid being pursued by the enemy. Of course, it is not easy to pick out unexpected desires from hundreds of millions of desires. At the very least, at their level, it's not that you can hide it from the world by looking for a desire about something that the other person hasn't seen.
"It seems that the surviving desire of the Outer Heaven Demon should be related to the spirit stone. Ye Zan has carefully flipped through the relevant memories here, and the not very important pimple that has always remained in his heart has a reasonable explanation.
The spirit stone is a good thing, but the key thing is that it has a different meaning, it can not only become a cultivator's auxiliary cultivation, but also a currency for cultivators to trade. Therefore, a desire about the spirit stone, it is difficult for you to say which aspect of the spirit stone it is aimed at. Love, disgust, currency, aura, and even ornamental objects, etc., one object can lead to many desires.
Moreover, the spirit stone is a thing in the cultivation world, which is somewhat "black under the lamp". Therefore, it is very likely that when the true immortal was chasing his soul for his life, he focused on the various things in the outer world, but ignored the things in his own world.
According to his own speculation, Ye Zan retrieved the memories of the Extraterrestrial Demon he had obtained before, and sure enough, he found the answer he wanted from the vast sea of information. Everything was really as he speculated, that desire was based on the spirit stone, and it was a kind of love for the spirit stone.
This also explains why Ye Zan had so many obsessions with spirit stones after he went to that forbidden area. It's not that the people of that sect are all greedy for money, it's just that they were swallowed by that desire and were affected by it. And the desire of the demon outside the sky, because of the existence of the true spirit and the extremely powerful power, naturally will not be as unbearable as that obsession.
"Ye, what should we do next?" Those indigenous heroes, naturally, didn't know what Ye Zan was thinking, but instinctively felt uneasy in this space, so they wanted to ask Ye Zan for his opinion.
Ye Zan shook his head slightly, threw aside the physiognomy in his mind for the time being, looked at the surrounding images, and said: "You already know the origin of this space, and I'm afraid that the real test will come next." After passing the test, there will be no more obstacles for you to leave this world, otherwise you will have to wait for me to take over this world. So, how do you choose, do you accept this test, or do you go back and wait a little longer?"
Strictly speaking, the reason why these beings born in the small world were able to possess such spiritual wisdom was not unrelated to the destroyed desire power of the demons outside the sky. After all, those hundreds of millions of desires, even if a desire gives birth to an intelligent being, it can support the world to have hundreds of millions of living beings. In fact, the population of the small world has not reached hundreds of millions, even since the end of the Dark Ages, it has been recuperating for tens of thousands of years.
Of course, those desires have actually been destroyed by the true immortals, but the power of those desires still remains here. Why is this the Netherworld? Why do the souls of the natives come to this place when they die? It's kind of a cycle or a cycle. And this also means that the root of the power of desire is here, and the power that has been separated will always return here.
"What is the test?" the indigenous heroes listened to Ye Zan's words, and they all looked very puzzled. Maybe in their opinion, if they want to leave this world, it should be like walking out of the room, just push open the door and walk out. It's just that they couldn't open the door originally, but the arrival of Ye Zan and other outsiders gave them the opportunity to open the door.
"To put it simply, your soul has roots here, and only when you pull out that root and merge with your own soul can you truly break free from the shackles of this world. It's just that if you want to do this, no one else can help you, only you can pass the test yourself. Of course, I also said that if you are not sure about yourself, you can also stay in the small world for the time being, and when I completely take over this world, I will naturally be able to help you. Ye Zan explained to everyone.
In front of the indigenous heroes, there are two such paths, one is to pull out the peg tied to them by themselves, and the other is to wait for Ye Zan to help them pull it out. The advantage of doing it yourself is that you don't have to be controlled by others, but the disadvantage is that you need to take a lot of risks, which is the so-called test. And waiting for Ye Zan to help, although it may not be necessary to take any risks, Ye Zan will definitely not help in vain.
After listening to Ye Zan's explanation, those indigenous heroes were in a dilemma, and some of them had a good relationship with each other. Both paths have their advantages, but they also have their disadvantages, or they can't be said to be disadvantages, but in short, there are costs to be paid in different ways.
According to Ye, our souls were born here, and now if we want to devour the origin of our souls in turn, it is like an ant trying to eat a giant beast. Although our strength has reached its peak in this world, I am afraid that it is still too small compared to such a force. Someone said very unconfidently.
"I think I can fight it! Rely on people from outside the world, after all...... It's better to rely on yourself. "There are also people who seem to be very confident in their own strength.
In the face of everyone's discussions, Ye Zan did not continue to say anything, so as not to make the other party think that he had any ideas. Although, from his heart, he still hopes that more people will choose the latter path, but it can't stop others from fighting for themselves.
Ye Zan turned his head and looked at this space, his eye of insight scanned all the power of the law, but he knew a little more about the secret method of turning into a god.
In fact, this secret method of turning into a god is somewhat similar to the legendary beheading of three corpses to sanctification. Isn't the beheading of three corpses sanctified to cut out one's body of good and evil thoughts, and finally leave a true body of one's true self? It's just that the division of desires by beheading the three corpses may be more general, just distinguishing good and evil and the true self, while the division of desires and gods is too detailed.
But then again, beheading three corpses is just a legend, and even if it is real, it is also a method of sanctification. Ye Zan is not even an immortal now, he just understands a little bit of things on the surface through legends, and making comparisons is only superficial. Moreover, purely from the level of application of the two secret methods, it can also be seen that there is a world of difference between the two who is higher and who is lower.
Ye Zan was thinking crankily on his side, and the indigenous heroes over there had finally made a decision, and they were obviously divided into two factions compared to before. One faction wants to fight by itself, and the other faction chooses to wait for Ye Zan's help, and there is not much difference in numbers, almost half and half.
This can't say who is good and who is bad, after all, some people have confidence in themselves, and some people want to be more secure, and different ideas make different choices. However, judging from the age of the two factions, the "young people" are more hardworking, and the "elderly" are all seeking stability.
"Ye, we have already made a decision, I don't know how to do this test?" the Sun King came to Ye Zan's approach, with a little expectation, and asked with a little apprehension. He is the oldest of those who choose to face the test, but he still has the same hard work as those "young people".
Ye Zan glanced at the people who had made the choice, flipped his palm and took out some of the divinities he had received before, and said, "It's very simple, as long as you refine these divinities, you will attract the corresponding law power in this space, and then it will be time for the test to come." ”
These divinities are all collected from those heaven-level ghosts, and they have the power of attributeless laws. Those indigenous heroes, as long as they refine these divinities, their souls will be enhanced, and then the laws in the space will be triggered. Just like a cultivator crossing a calamity, although the law and the great way are not conscious, they will not easily allow others to "offend", and they will inevitably "take action" to compete with them.
And to give these divinities to the Sun King for refining, Ye Zan was not reluctant, anyway, there were still some in his Qiankun Ring. This thing, for him, is of some research value, and secondly, it is to fuel the bone claw. If you do research, it is basically enough to have three or five, not to mention that Ye Zan also has a somewhat special divinity. As for the bone claw as fuel, Ye Zan easily did not want to use it, after all, it was mainly necessary to prevent the bone claw from turning against the customer.
Seeing Ye Zan take out his divinity and not show any reluctance, the Sun King and the others suddenly seemed very moved. Although, there was Hartlane before, and it seemed that the divinity was only kept by Ye Zan for everyone. However, in fact, everyone knows that when that thing is in the hands of others, it is basically difficult for the other party to take it out. At least, if it were their own, I'm afraid they wouldn't have taken it out so happily.
However, Ye Zan didn't seem to have any hesitation at all, and he didn't take the initiative to put forward any harsh conditions, so he took out the divinity. This made the Sun King's hearts unconsciously trust Ye Zan's perception, at least they thought that Ye Zan's character was quite good.
"Thank you, thank you, Your Excellency's help to us, we will definitely remember it!" The Sun King and the others hurriedly saluted Ye Zan very solemnly with the etiquette of this world.
Of course, Ye Zan took out his divinity to the Sun King and the others, and those who chose to stay and wait for another kind of help would still be more or less envious and jealous. However, thinking that the Sun King and others had to deal with the test, while he and the others were much safer, his heart was a little more balanced. Moreover, they don't know how Ye Zan will help them in the future, maybe they still need to use that divinity.
The Sun King and the others didn't care about the idea of another faction, and with the people who were going to be tested on their side, they each got a grain of divinity. As for refining, it's not complicated, according to Ye Zan, just swallow it directly, and then naturally know what else to do.
