Volume 1 of the Witchbook Chapter 51: Breaking through the Reality
There are very few exercises for "quenching the body" for monks in the world, and very few monks will choose to quench the body. The reason is nothing more than two points, a human race body is already weak, and quenching the body requires a lot of resources and time, and the results are not good; Besides, immortal cultivators often don't even have enough time to cultivate, so who would waste time on refining their bodies?
The sorcerer's practice is the opposite, not refining the qi method, emphasizing the soul refining and body quenching practitioners, and the strength of the body itself is the biggest defensive barrier that the sorcerer relies on. However, Zhao Hong's cultivation of the "Witch Codex" was not long, and at that time, he chose to take a shortcut, only refining the soul, and always ignored the chapter of "quenching the body".
Therefore, when he was stuck at the threshold of breaking through the "reality realm", he had to use the "Taiyin Essence Array" to refine the essence of the stars and moons to speed up the quenching of the body. Although the pain was a hundredfold, it was also a helpless move, and he knew that this was the only way he could use it at the moment.
Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was Zhao Hong's seventh night on Zhaoyao Mountain. Zhao Hong was still sitting cross-legged on the "Taiyin Essence Array", his body bloomed with a faint brilliance, every trace of muscle and flesh began to glow like stars, and a little starlight appeared on his bones.
For the past seven days, Zhao Hong has insisted on ingesting the essence of the stars and the moon every night with the "Taiyin Essence Array" to refine his body.
At this time, the golden vertical eyes in the center of his eyebrows shrank one by one, as if he was breathing. Most of the star and moon essences gathered around were swallowed by the vertical eyes.
A 'crackling' sound kept ringing around Zhao Hong. Zhao Hong's face no longer had the slightest look of pain, some were just plain and quiet, with a faint joy.
Suddenly, the stars around him fluctuated. The eyebrows and eyes suddenly bloomed with dazzling brilliance, rolling endlessly. The blue light flickered, and an esoteric spell rune appeared inside.
Zhao Hong's body was wrapped in a layer of silver light, and countless faint, extremely tiny golden-yellow strange symbols appeared on the surface of his body, full of ancient charm. At the same time, a majestic momentum suddenly erupted from his body, which was like a violent storm, blowing bigger and bigger, and spreading out to all sides.
This vision lasted for an hour or so, and finally the light in the large array slowly dissipated, and the surrounding area returned to a sense of tranquility. As soon as the momentum on Zhao Hong's body suddenly retracted, he was no different from an ordinary human race, and he couldn't see anything abnormal at all.
"Reality...... Is that how it feels?"
Zhao Hong opened his eyes, and a happy smile immediately appeared on his face. He stretched out his hand and grabbed at the void, quietly savoring the connection between his soul and heaven and earth.
After a while, Zhao Hong's laughter stopped, and he suddenly remembered something. After the corner of his nose moved slightly, he made a light "hum", and a phantom suddenly flashed at the center of his eyebrows, and more than a dozen invisible crystal filaments shot out.
A long blue and white mark suddenly appeared in the air, as if it had cut through the night, and it went straight to a hundred feet away from the place where it was shot. And the next moment, the other end of the long scar suddenly flashed, and the crystal filament had disappeared into the sky.
The whole process was like a flash of lightning, as if it had never happened, without a trace, and without warning.
"Divine soul piercing ......," a smile hung on the corner of Zhao Hong's mouth.
After seven days of continuous quenching, his physical body has become more than ten times stronger than before, and now his divine soul has finally broken through to the "real realm", and the scope of his soul consciousness has reached 100 zhang, and he can finally perform a real "divine soul thorn" attack.
"Old Dragon, I've finally succeeded. ”
Zhao Hong shared the joy in his heart with the dragon shadow in the ring for the first time.
"It's just a small achievement, is it worth your pleasure?It's not that I hit you, your level is still the gap between heaven and earth from those descendants of the God Clan, you want revenge, it's still far away......" The soul sense came from the old dragon's contempt.
Zhao Hong didn't care at all, he believed that as long as he was given enough time, he would one day have the strength to enter the Great Wilderness.
He glanced up at the bright stars in the sky, and his mood gradually calmed down.
"However, you have inherited the essence blood of Chiyou and restored the power of the bloodline of the Holy Son of the Witcher. Now that you have become a true shaman, you should do your duty as a shaman from now on. The old dragon said slowly.
"Witch duty?" Zhao Hong thought for a moment, thinking that the old dragon would not say something about strength and responsibility.
Lao Long said lightly: "The bloodline inherited from your body was originally born for killing, and back then, Chi You was even known as the 'God of War in the World', 'Soldier Master', and 'God of Killing'. In the battle of Zhuolu, Chiyou soldiers attacked the two emperors of Yan and Huang, and they were invincible, winning 72 battles in a row. In the end, if it weren't for the help of the Nine Heavens and the reversal of the situation, it would be hard to say who would win and who would lose, and who would be right and who would be evil. Although you have obtained the essence blood inheritance of Chiyou, if you want to challenge the descendants of the God Clan, you still need to improve your strength as soon as possible. Heaven is unkind, and the world is in great contention. Your killing begins in this world......"
"Born to Kill...... Old Dragon, when I hear you say it, I feel more like I'm going to be an evil 'big devil'?" Zhao Hong was a little puzzled, not understanding what Old Long meant.
"Evil, no......" the old dragon sneered, "Good and evil are originally in one thought, how can there be any distinction between good and evil in the world? The so-called good and evil are nothing more than delusions imposed by human beings. ”
"Tigers live on meat, not sin, but instinct, if you don't eat meat, you will die, you can't starve yourself to death because you pity other animals. The same is true of people, there is no distinction between good and evil in war, because both sides are guilty, and there is only a profit orientation, and the king is defeated or defeated. When someone kills you, you can't help but fight back, stand and be killed, you can't do it. ”
"Are the righteous monks in the world necessarily righteous? Are the descendants of the god clan who killed you right? Are all the royal nobles in the world right? No...... Because their strength is greater than that of the law, the rules of the law say that nothing is taken seriously, it no longer works. The law binds human nature, or is used to rule over those below. ”
"The law of the world seals the instinct of natural selection and the law of the jungle, causing people to mistakenly think that the world is beautiful. In fact, there is no time to be quiet? It is always the survival of the fittest, and everyone is moving forward with a load. The law of the jungle is not only the law of nature, but also the law of society......"
"The words good and evil were originally indistinguishable. Those so-called monks who claim to be famous and decent are themselves narrow-minded people, and they look down on others as small. Doesn't they treat human life as if they were a mustard and let life and death go to their hearts, can they all have a clear conscience? Are there no righteous men and gentlemen who are bent on goodness among those monks in the cult?
"The sorcerer uses his soul to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and can know the righteousness of the upper and lower levels, understand the way of heaven, and understand the principles of heaven. A sorcerer determines good and evil, without cause and effect, without asking about the cause, only by his own heart, why bother with vulgar and delusional law. Equal in heart and action, big heart for all, where there is evil, whether gods, demons, ghosts, or ghosts, they can be forced by witches. Stopping killing by killing, and dispelling evil spirits by killing, this is the duty and original intention of a sorcerer! Stick to one's own heart, never forget one's original intention, and always have one's heart; and never reject one's own heart, and seek truth from falsehood, it is said to be at ease. Do you understand?"
"Heart, punish evil ......" Zhao Hong was a little surprised in his heart, but muttered in the same tone.
Previously, he had learned the definition of a sorcerer from the general text of the "Witch Book", and he had also heard similar words from Xin Yu's mouth about "only by heart", but today when he heard Lao Long say this, he seemed to have a deeper and more thorough understanding of the true meaning of sorcerers.
"There is one more thing, the reason why Chi You was able to overcome Yan Huang back then, in addition to the supreme magic skills he relied on, there were also three treasures. It's just that after Chiyou was defeated, these three treasures were nowhere to be found. On your future training path, in addition to improving your strength and finding the entrance to the Great Wilderness, you can search for the whereabouts of these three treasures at the same time. The old dragon continued.
"Which three?" Zhao Hong's expression suddenly changed, and he asked with a straight face.
The old dragon didn't stop and continued: "The first is the magic knife 'Tiger Spirit', which is made of the outer dark iron, and it was the first divine weapon of the Great Wilderness that overwhelmed the Yellow Emperor's 'Xuanyuan Sword' and Emperor Yan's 'Shennongqin' back then. This knife seems to be unremarkable, but when it is used, it contains the most powerful and powerful power, and can even devour the soul of ten thousand souls, which is actually the nemesis of the gods. ”
"Is it so powerful? What about the second one?" Zhao Hong then asked.
"The second is the '100,000 Soul Banner', which is refined from countless living souls, which can gather fog into rain and turn the world upside down, and can also summon an army of ghosts and ghosts to fight for it in wartime.
The third is the mount 'Iron Eater', an ancient divine beast. Iron-eating beasts are invulnerable, but they can gnaw copper and iron, and they are indestructible. ”
......
Now that he had decided to start the human experience, Zhao Hong went directly in the direction of Liuhuang City, and he planned to return to Fire-weary City again.
On the way to Liuhuang City, Zhao Hong and the blood-colored dragon shadow gradually became familiar, and Zhao Hong gradually figured out what was going on with this dragon shadow.
He used to call it "Old Dragon", and the old dragon kept silent about its own origins and so on, only stating that it was only from a distant ancient period and had always existed in the ring world, and after Zhao Hong got the ring, it had already woken up, but it had never spoken.
It wasn't until the last time Zhao Hong probed his soul sense into the ring that it appeared and appeared. And this time Zhao Hong was killed, and at the time of the crisis, it was the old dragon who used the power of space to bring him into the ring world and saved his life.
As for the power of the old dragon, Zhao Hong has already roughly figured out that the old dragon helped him reforge his body and the coercion of that body before, which is indeed a great supernatural power, but it is only limited to the ring. It seems like the world outside the ring, and it has no power to change at all.
The old dragon's explanation for this is: Do you think it is easy and fun to help you recast your physical body, change your life against the sky, and be reborn in Nirvana? Tell you, the reason why I have no combat power now is because the deity has accumulated tens of thousands of years of power, and it has been completely wasted on you.
In this regard, Zhao Hong only believed a small half. He prefers to believe that the ability of the old dragon is to be suppressed in the ring world for countless years, or it is not necessary to be sealed inside. What does it really look like? Only God knows, the old dragon himself knows.
However, it is true that because of the presence of the old dragon, the journey, which was originally destined to be very dull, suddenly became a little easier. And Lao Long seems to know a lot of things in the past, which is very helpful to Zhao Hong.
Zhao Hong tried to ask Lao Long about Xiaoqing. Because Xiaoqing finally disappeared into the ring, and said that the ring was her world, but when Zhao Hong once entered the ring world, he did not find any trace of Xiaoqing.
But Lao Long said that he never knew about this matter, which made Zhao Hong confused.
At the beginning, Zhao Hong had the highest awe for this blood-colored dragon shadow, and almost treated it as a god, after all, the other party was an old monster who had lived for an unknown number of years. But the more they got along, the more Zhao Hong found that this old dragon seemed to only talk big.
It can be said that as long as Zhao Hong does not enter the ring, Lao Long will not be able to do anything about himself at all.
Among one man and one beast, the status of the old dragon fell again and again, until Zhao Hong directly called him "old dragon" or directly "hey" the word "hey".
