Chapter 196: The Mystery of the Formation

Feeling the rapid consumption of the power in his body, and even the instability of his control over his body, He Zhi immediately knew the power of this third-layer formation.

Although the power of the attacks of this layer of formation did not break through the limit of entering the Dao, in each attack, there was a bit of power that only a Soul Condensing Realm cultivator could have.

This is still a very novel experience for He Zhi. When he fought with Zhao Tianyi before, although Zhao Tianyi also used the power of the divine soul in the final blow, He Zhi had the upper hand at that time, and the two sides just collided, and the battle was over. Therefore, He Zhi had not been able to carefully appreciate the true power of the Soul Condensing Realm cultivator.

Now breaking into this formation, facing endless attacks, He Zhicai understood why the monks of the Soul Condensing Realm were called the "Spirit Realm", and the reason why there was a gap between the monks of the two realms of entering the Dao and building the foundation.

This kind of power is really very special. It does not directly damage the flesh like mana or true element, but this power is pervasive, and once it invades, it will affect the monk's control over himself.

He Zhi even combined the knowledge he understood on the modern earth in an instant to explain this power: this kind of divine soul power is like a microcurrent, the current flow itself is not large, and it is difficult to damage the human body, but it itself is not aimed at the human body, but after entering the body, it is extremely accurate at the nerves and brains, which command the central parts of the human body.

Of course, in the world of cultivation, the power of the divine soul is definitely not just as simple as microcurrent, and there will be more elusive things in it, but the general principle should be that eight or nine are inseparable from ten - using the divine soul against the divine soul.

Moreover, this is just breaking into the formation. The power of the divine soul hidden in the formation attack is chaotic, and after entering the human body, it has no specific purpose, but only randomly interferes with the person's own control function, making people weak and sluggish.

But what if this divine soul power does not come from the formation, but from a clever monk? Is it possible that this power is controlled by the opponent, and after entering the opponent's body, it purposefully interferes with the opponent's body functions, and even forcibly seizes control of the opponent's body after it is strong to a certain extent?

When he thought of this, He Zhi couldn't help but have a certain guess about the two realms of "condensing the soul and refining the gods" after entering the Dao and building the foundation.

Soul condensation is likely to be the process of sensing and cultivating the power of this divine soul, allowing it to grow and echo with itself. And the next refining of the gods is to further control and use. Let this divine power be freely controlled, and even after leaving itself, it can still act according to its own will.

So...... As long as you reach the realm of soul condensation and cultivate the power of the divine soul to a certain extent, won't you be able to perform the method of fixation?

Could it be that the method of fixing the body is like this?

While He Zhi continued to try his best to dodge the attack from the formation, he couldn't help but think of the monkey's "Ding" in Journey to the West.

It's no wonder that the monkey's immobilization method was used for some small monsters whose strength was far inferior to his, and it was not easy to use it when encountering big monsters with similar strength. In this way, if you want to be able to fix the other party, you really need the power of the divine soul to surpass the opposite side by a large margin.

Of course, these can only be regarded as He Zhi's cranky thoughts for a moment, and He Zhi satisfied his childhood curiosity and stopped thinking about it. For He Zhi, breaking into the third layer of this formation, he actually really gained the benefit of sensing the existence of the power of the divine soul, and even personally experienced how this power exists and works!

For a casual cultivator like He Zhi who has already stepped into the realm of initiation, but is confused about the next practice, this is really enough to make people ecstatic - a clear understanding of the power of the divine soul is equivalent to pointing out the direction for He Zhi's future cultivation!

He Zhi also suddenly had a realization at this time--I am afraid that this is the true intention of Shueisha to set this level for all the monks who participated in the selection battle! These monks who came to participate in the selection battle were generally geniuses and elites who had entered the Dao realm.

As long as they can break into the third layer of the formation in the second level of the selection battle, they can clearly understand the existence of the power of the divine soul from the continuous bombardment of the formation, allowing them to comprehend a trace of the mystery of the soul condensing realm in advance.

This will be of immeasurable benefit to their future practice.

However, this is a matter of withstanding the attack yourself and using your body to experience the mystery of the power of the divine soul. I don't know if the young man who stared at the golden umbrella cover could get the same realization.

He Zhi curiously glanced at the young man in front of him with a golden umbrella cover, and continued to grit his teeth and rush forward. Since He Zhi already knows the mystery of this formation, he naturally has to take advantage of it!

The previous two bombardments, although He Zhi had touched a trace of the mystery of the Soul Condensing Realm, were only the surface of it, and it was extremely vague. The longer you persist in the formation, the deeper your understanding of the power of the divine soul will naturally be.

Moreover, He Zhi was also a little curious, as if he saw that this third layer was not the final of the formation. There is also a fourth layer of formation in the back. If he could break through the third layer and enter the fourth layer of the formation, what kind of things would he encounter?

The first layer of this formation is to enter the Tao from rebirth. If a martial artist who has escaped the realm of rebirth breaks into it, he may also gain a lot, and realize the key to entering the realm of enlightenment. He Zhi had already passed this level, so naturally he didn't feel anything at all.

The second layer of the formation is to build the foundation from the entrance path. He Zhi also didn't get any benefit when he broke through the level, but now in retrospect, He Zhi suddenly realized that this might be the reason why he was 'entering the Tao with martial arts'.

According to Jiang Yuetian's statement back then, martial artists who enter the Dao with martial arts, the physical body and the mana themselves are closely combined, and there is no distinction between them, so the process of 'building the foundation', which is very troublesome for those normal cultivators, only needs to pay some water grinding work for He Zhi.

Perhaps, the setting of this second level will allow those monks who have entered the Dao normally to understand the key to building the foundation in advance? He Zhi carefully recalled his feelings when he passed the second level, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that his guess might be correct.

And the third layer is what Zheng Zhi felt before, which is completely the use of the power of the divine soul. The core of the "Spirit Realm" was stripped out and displayed in an extremely simple way in front of all the monks who broke into this layer of formation!

He Zhi had already felt that the purpose of this formation he had broken into was not to test at all, but to point out! The first layer was the mortal realm, the second layer was the Dao realm, and the third layer was the spiritual realm, and each layer of this formation seemed to correspond to the core key of a great realm cultivation.

What about the fourth layer? He Zhi couldn't help but be extremely curious! This third layer had already raised the guidance to the level of the "spiritual realm." Could it be that inside the fourth layer, there will be a mystery about condensing the golden pill? For the formation of the deepest fourth layer, He Zhi is really curious to the extreme.

Of course, He Zhi also knows very well that no matter how curious he is about the fourth layer, doing a good job in the present is the most important thing!

He Zhi's current perception of the power of the divine soul is far from reaching the limit, if he gives up what he has in front of him and goes far away to pursue the benefits of the Dan Realm, he is really stupid!

Therefore, He Zhi almost immediately suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and honestly did a good job in the present, just like a few other monks who broke into the third layer, and moved forward steadily.

He Zhi didn't know where the power of the divine soul in each wave of attacks generated by this formation came from, but He Zhi glanced left and right, and found that the power of this formation seemed to be endless.

At this time, including He Zhi, there were a total of seven monks left in the formation. All seven of these monks had already entered the third layer of the formation, and the attacks in the formation fell one after another, and the bombardment had been almost ten minutes and still not weakened at all.

For Ho Zhi, this is good news. He can rest assured, don't worry about anything else, just carefully comprehend the mystery of the power of the divine soul in the formation.

After discovering the true mystery of this formation, He Zhi's speed was significantly lower than before. He no longer even thought about whether he could pass the test, but deliberately tried his best to withstand the bombardment of the formation within the range of what he could bear.

Of course, in the eyes of people outside the formation, He Zhi's approach is not like this. It seemed that He Zhi had broken through too violently in front of him, but after entering the third layer, he didn't keep up with it all of a sudden, and then fell into a huge crisis.

Although among the other monks who were also in the third layer with He Zhi, there were also people who had to be hit by one or two bombardments from time to time, but no one was as ruthless as He Zhi!

The monks tried their best to dodge, and then every ten seconds or so, they couldn't dodge before they were shot.

And what about Ho Zhi? He was almost like he didn't know how to hide, and he was bombarded almost every two or three seconds.

This contains the bombardment of the power of the divine soul, but it is not just a simple destruction. Whether it's thunder, flames, ice, or sword wind, all of them contain unique divine soul characteristics.

For example, when he was hit by a flame, He Zhi would be red all over, as if he was burned by a flame; when he was hit by the cold, his whole body would freeze, and his body would be sluggish, and it would take him half a day to recover......

Seeing He Zhi struggling in the formation, Xiao Su and Wei Yue'er, the two girls, were so nervous that their little faces were about to wrinkle.

And Tang Renli and Chen Keying, who were next to them, also had serious faces, and they were still a little puzzled in their hearts.

Judging from the previous battle in which He Zhi defeated Zhao Tianyi, both of them felt that He Zhi's strength should be more than that! How could it be so difficult to just enter the third layer of the formation? Could it be that there is something special in this formation that restrains his exercises? But they didn't see it! Looking at the things that fell in this formation, everyone was about the same.

Tang Renli and Chen Keying were puzzled. On the other side, the faces of several monks of the cultivation sect suddenly slowed down.

Especially Zhao Yangming, just now he made a big fool because of He Zhi, and it is likely that he offended Zhao Tianyi, who had a good relationship, to death, and now he is anxious.

Before He Zhi entered the formation, Zhao Yangming stared at him with burning eyes, hoping that He Zhi would immediately make a big appearance and give him a chance to save face.

Seeing that He Zhi was "struggling" in the formation at this time, Zhao Yangming immediately seized the opportunity and became proud in front of a few newcomers and a group of cultivators.

"Hmph! I'll just say that this person can't do it at all! He was better than Zhao Tianyi just now, even if he didn't say that he was opportunistic, he obviously took advantage of it! Zhao Tianyi didn't know the details of this guy, so he couldn't help but be a little careless. And he watched Zhao Tianyi's so many long competitions, and came prepared. I don't know what kind of means of 'Heavenly Demon Disintegration' and other means of imminent outbreak were used! You see, this guy thinks he's powerful, he rushed so hard just now, and now his true form is revealed, right?"

Zhao Yangming belittled He Zhi in front of everyone, but several monks of the cultivation sect looked at him with embarrassment, and no one said anything.

However, a monk next to him who didn't deal with Zhao Yangming came forward, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Zhao Daoyou, even if this Mu Yunhai is completely exposed, he is also one of the seven or eight people who rushed into the third layer of the formation. Even if his strength is really not good, and he is driven out of the formation now, he is also one of the seven or eight strongest candidates in this year's selection battle. If Zhao Daoyou insists that his strength is not good, it will inevitably be a bit excessive, right? If his strength is not good, then what are the newcomers recommended by your cultivation sect who have not passed the first level, and who have not even passed the second level in the second level formation? Zhao Daoyou, what do you say?"

"You ......" Zhao Yangming's face was red and blue for a while, but he looked around left and right and found that even a few people from the cultivation sect didn't help him speak, and he could only walk to the side in a gray way. But a pair of eyes were still staring at He Zhi as if they were breathing fire, and he couldn't bear the bombardment of the formation immediately and was eliminated.

In this way, he can be regarded as a game, and he can belittle He Zhi a few more words in front of his companions to save some face.

It's a pity that He Zhi obviously didn't plan to save face for Zhao Yangming.

Although in the eyes of outsiders, He Zhi was clumsy in the formation, as if he might be blasted out at any time, but he just gritted his teeth and held on, as if he was dying!

"Fall, fall, you should hurry up!" Zhao Yangming's tongue was about to burst into flames outside, but He Zhi was still "boiling" in the formation.
