Chapter 550: Breaking Through the Spirit Realm

Picking up the No. 31 rune, He Zhi found that he didn't seem to be as excited as he imagined. ◢ With *Dream * Small ◢.1a may be because this rune has been delayed for too long, so that in He Zhi's feelings, this is something that should have been obtained a long time ago, but it has not been received for various reasons. When I finally got it, I didn't feel anything.

On the other side, Sun Luoying and the others also lost interest in searching for loot, their bags were already full, and even if they found more loot, there was no place to put it.

"How's it going?" Sun Luoying looked at He Zhi standing in place with the rune, seemed to be a little stunned, and couldn't help but come forward and ask.

"Hmm. Got it. He Zhi flicked the rune into the air with his thumb, then held it hard, and a smile appeared on his face, "I finally found it." "I found enough runes, and there was no difficulty in refining Rune No. 33. He Zhi soon got the prop he had been waiting for.

Soon, the No. 33 rune was embedded into the Qian Mu Sword by He Zhi. When he finally took out a No. 5 rune, He Zhi hesitated. The main reason is that he has been looking forward to it for too long, which actually makes He Zhi have a little feeling of gain and loss.

Feeling the tension in his heart, He Zhi couldn't help but smile. This feeling is also a long time gone for He Zhi.

Taking a deep breath, He Zhi inserted the last rune into the Qian Mu Sword. When all the 6 runes entered the Qian Mu Sword, a dark golden light faintly flowed through the Qian Mu Sword. On the surface, after that dark golden light flowed, the Qian Mu Sword itself didn't seem to have undergone any visible changes, let alone any dazzling sound and light effects. It seems that Qian Mujian is exactly the same as the original.

However, when He Zhi held the Qian Mu Sword again at this moment, he could clearly feel that this flying sword was indeed completely different from before!

In Diablo games, the finished Rune Word can be easily read from the panel. But in this world of pioneering missions, there's nothing as convenient as a data panel.

However, He Zhi could clearly feel that an astonishing power was flowing in the Qian Mu Sword, and this power was completely different from the mana or golden qi contained in the normal flying sword. However, it did not have any conflict with the power of the Qian Mu Sword itself, and the two fit each other, forming an extremely delicate balance!

After the Qian Mu Sword itself changed, the sword spirit of the Qian Mu Sword also changed. When that sword spirit appeared in front of He Zhi again, it had already changed greatly from before. The original Qianmu Sword Spirit was only about the size of a fist, and it looked like a cartoon character with a three-headed body.

But the current Qianmu Sword Spirit is almost the size of a child, and his own image has really become a child.

"Second master, your talisman is really powerful......! It seems that it is really completely different from before!" Qian Mu Sword's sword spirit appeared in front of He Zhi, full of ecstasy.

"That's for the best. ”

"By the way, I feel that I seem to be more harmonious with the second master now. If the second master wants to drive the flying sword, he only needs seventy or eighty percent of the original soul power!" The sword spirit of the Qian Mu Sword controlled its own body and flew up and down for a while, and said to He Zhi more and more happily, "I think that if the second master wants to practice the swordsmanship of this sect, it will be fine now." ”

"Not necessarily. He Zhi shook his head at Qian Mujian and said, "Of course, it is possible to practice swordsmanship now, but it is barely possible to control the flying sword during the foundation building period. Fortunately, my breakthrough to the spiritual realm is just around the corner. After I break through the spiritual realm, we can practice again. ”

"It's okay, with the qualifications of the second master, after breaking through to the spiritual realm, and then practicing swordsmanship, it will be a matter of course. Qian Mujian's sword spirit thought about it and nodded happily.

Breaking through the spiritual realm was not a difficult thing for He Zhi in the first place. As early as when He Zhi entered the Dao with martial arts, he himself already knew that it was only a matter of time before he broke through to the spiritual realm.

It's just that He Zhi didn't expect that he could complete a breakthrough in such a short period of time. Based on He Zhi's speculation at that time, he felt that it should take about three years for him to complete the accumulation of the foundation building period and break through to the first stage of refining the spirit realm.

But who would have thought that the successive encounters that followed, so that He Zhi would now have completed the entire foundation building period in only about a year. Moreover, in terms of the foundation of the foundation building period, He Zhi was no worse than those true disciples from famous families - this was actually mainly the result of the achievements of Qian Mujian and He Zhi.

At that time, when he was in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the power of the secret realm origin absorbed by Qian Mujian was naturally fed back to He Zhi after he and He Zhi completed the integration of human swords!

Under the washing of the power of the origin of a small world, He Zhi's foundation building progress naturally far exceeded that of any normal cultivator - let alone an ordinary foundation building monk, even if it was a true disciple of a super sect of the level of Beiyue Sword Sect and Ten Thousand Sword Sect, no one could have the luxury of using the origin of a small world to wash themselves!

In short, when He Zhi and his party entered the Cow Pass for exactly one hundred days, He Zhi finally broke through the spiritual realm.

At the moment of advancing to the spiritual realm, He Zhi felt that his divine thoughts seemed to expand a hundredfold all of a sudden. It was as if my mind had turned into a giant balloon and swelled out.

Then, He Zhi felt an astonishing cold—as if a person had suddenly left a warm room and entered a world of ice and snow.

Of course, all this is normal. Before He Zhi completed the final breakthrough, Qian Mujian had already explained to He Zhi the situation of breaking through to the God Refining Stage.

A monk's breakthrough from foundation building to refining gods is the stage when his cultivation of his own ** has reached the extreme, and the power of ** has begun to feedback to the spiritual world.

And this kind of feedback is extremely impactful when it first breaks through. Because a monk's divine thoughts were originally firmly confined to **, it was difficult to exist apart from **. And the moment from the breakthrough of foundation building to the refining of the gods, it is under the resonance of **, spirit and mana, so that the divine thoughts are freed from the shackles of ** and can exist freely in this world.

When the divine mind is bound in **, it is extremely solidified. It's like liquid oxygen compressed in a sealed oxygen cylinder. But when the shackles are lifted, the thoughts will spread out all at once.

This is also the most dangerous stage for a monk to break through from the initiation to the spiritual realm.

Because the divine mind is detached, on the one hand, it is in contact with the restraints, and on the other hand, it is also the loss of protection. There are too many things in heaven and earth that can consume a person's "divine thoughts".

According to He Zhi's understanding, "divine thoughts" are a bit like electromagnetic waves or brain waves, but they are obviously more complex than electromagnetic waves or brain waves.

To use a simple analogy, in modern science, the way a person controls his own ** can already be explained - nothing more than the transmission of signals through nerves. After the brain sends a command, the radio waves are transmitted in the nerves to the part that receives the command, and the body makes corresponding actions.

Divine thought can also be understood as a similar thing, except that this divine thought is not a simple radio wave, but something more delicate and more difficult to control. In the course of repeated practice, the monk was able to feel the presence of this power slightly.

Then, like a paralyzed person trying to regain control of his body, they keep trying to master this power. So in many cases, the qualifications of a monk are reflected here—a monk with excellent qualifications can quickly sense the presence of divine thoughts, and begin to understand and grasp this power. A monk with poor qualifications may spend his entire life without understanding what divine thoughts are.

In many cases, this difference in qualifications is objective, and even hard work cannot make up for it.

Moreover, even those monks with excellent qualifications, who can feel the existence of divine thoughts, and who exercise again and again during the foundation building period, are by no means without danger when they break through the spiritual realm.

Countless foundation-building monks will be unable to restrain the spread of their divine thoughts because of the sudden spread of their divine thoughts, and as a result, their divine thoughts will be consumed by the vitality of heaven and earth, and they will eventually fail to break through.

According to Qian Mujian, at the level of breaking through from foundation building to the spirit realm, almost five or six out of ten foundation building monks will fail. However, this level is a little less dangerous than the entry level.

Because most of the monks will fall directly if they fail when they break through the entrance level. And when you break through the spirit realm, even if you fail in the end, you have a great chance to save your life.

After all, a monk's divine thoughts are not immediately consumed between heaven and earth, and it will take about half an hour or so from the time when the divine thoughts spread between heaven and earth to the time when the heaven and earth vitality causes irreparable damage to the divine thoughts.

You must know that most of the monks who can reach the level of breaking through the spiritual realm are more or less sensitive to divine thoughts. So even if they can't control their divine thoughts at first, they can still control the rest of them after some of them are slowly consumed. For monks, the mind is something like "blood". That is to say, if you lose some of your mind, you will only make yourself weak, but you will still have all of it, and you will not lose some of your functions like missing arms and legs.

Therefore, the cultivation realm also has a simple criterion for whether or not the breakthrough spirit realm is successful, that is, to see whether the total amount of divine thoughts that a monk has preserved after the breakthrough is enough for him to complete the "refining of the gods".

The less divine thoughts a monk has left after breaking through, the less "strength" he has in the god refining stage. If the total amount of divine thoughts he had left was not even enough to complete the needs of the first divine cultivation practice, then he would naturally fail. And once the monk's breakthrough fails, the divine thoughts will be solidified from then on, and they will not be able to continue to increase, so naturally it will not be able to be fused with mana and transformed into soul power.

In other words, when breaking through the spiritual realm, there is no doubt that the faster the breakthrough speed is, the stronger the monk will be in the subsequent cultivation, and the greater the potential. At the moment of breakthrough, the shorter the unprotected divine thoughts were exposed in the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and the less damage they received, the stronger the monk would be.

Therefore, although He Zhi's breakthrough through the spiritual realm was almost in his hands, at the moment of breakthrough, He Zhi was still fully concerned.

The moment his divine thoughts spread out, He Zhi immediately hit all his spirits and began to reunite the divine thoughts that had broken free from the shackles.

And for He Zhi, the soul power use skills that he had already mastered during the foundation building period allowed He Zhi to get greater benefits when he broke through the spirit realm.

Because after the divine thoughts spread out, He Zhi immediately discovered that he could still condense a part of his soul power!

Therefore, while trying his best to condense his divine thoughts, He Zhi also fused some of them with his own mana, turning them into a thin layer of soul power, enveloping most of his divine thoughts.

Under the obstruction of soul power, the influence of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi on He Zhi's divine thoughts had almost disappeared. At the same time, the speed at which He Zhi condensed his divine thoughts was also accelerating.

It only took a total of two or three minutes for He Zhi to re-assemble all his divine thoughts—to be honest, this time was not too short among all the monks. Among the famous sects, there are monks who have broken through to success in less time than He Zhi. But He Zhi was not annoyed. Ho Zhi was very self-aware—his qualifications were definitely not the best among monks.

The moment the divine thought returned to himself, He Zhi felt as if there was a burning sensation from all the internal organs.

This is the process of "refining the gods"! Because the returned divine thoughts carry the heaven and earth vitality, and these heaven and earth vitality have been fused with the divine thoughts themselves, and can only be re-"refined" with the help of the monk's body.

The Divine Thoughts were running in the body day after week, and the Divine Thoughts themselves became more and more solid and solid, and at the same time, the connection with He Zhi himself became more and more close.

In the end, when He Zhi's divine thoughts completed thirty-six weekly operations in his body, He Zhi's first "Divine Refining Period" practice came to an end, and He Zhi could also unceremoniously call himself a "Great Spiritual Cultivator" at this time!

"How is he?" When He Zhiduan was sitting in the open wilderness meditating, his body steaming, Jiang Yueying couldn't help but ask Sun Luoying on the side.

"It worked. Sun Luoying nodded vigorously, and couldn't help but clench her fists lightly, a look of envy flashed in her eyes, "It's almost a perfect breakthrough." ”

"Oh, is there a saying that this realm breakthrough is perfect or imperfect? What about when you broke through at that time? Was it a perfect breakthrough?" Jiang Yueying subconsciously asked Sun Luoying, but after asking, she knew that she had said the wrong thing.

Sure enough, Sun Luoying smiled awkwardly when she heard this, shook her head and did not answer.
