"Those lanterns are here again!"

Seeing the dozen or so swaying red light clusters, Qiong Wei, who had not been able to sit still, immediately jumped up and clapped his hands and laughed.

The young man who was refining the Divine Transformation Void Mystery Realm, although his eyes were narrow, he seemed to have a third eye, and he clearly saw Qiong Wei's jumping appearance.

"Heh~ Qiong Wei also called those seniors as lanterns, which is really disrespectful. ”

Now Xingyan Even when refining the gods and turning into nothingness, he can still have some time to think about other things.

Let's say that these lanterns in Qiong Wei's mouth have often appeared recently when he is cultivating Taihua Dao power. When I saw it for the first time, Xingyan was really a little surprised, this floating Lingyi appearance, I don't know what kind of creature it is. When he told Chen Ziping about these anomalies, he realized that these transparent light clusters that looked like jellyfish in the Dragon Palace were the souls of some people who had died in the Shangqing Palace.

It turned out that the thousand-year-old faction of the Qing Palace on Luofu Mountain had many people with profound morality and high mana in the past dynasties, but in the end, only a few people could get the opportunity to soar. Immortality and long-term vision, for most cultivators in the world, are similar to those mirrors. Those who have been passed down by everyone in the world are only living longer than ordinary people at most.

However, in the long journey, there are always some outstanding people, after hundreds or hundreds of years of death, although the body materializes and returns to dust, but the soul will not fly away, it can still be preserved, floating between the caves and blessed lands in the world. For these unique souls of the ancestors, the younger generations respectfully call them as:

"Dao Soul"

Perhaps, for these Dao souls who can wander between heaven and earth for hundreds of years, it can be regarded as a kind of immortality. It's just that whether they have a mind or not is not known to outsiders.

Now these dark red light clusters floating in front of the Thousand Bird Cliff are the "Dao Souls" left behind by the high-level figures of the Shangqing Palace. These fluttering light group soul shadows are now fluttering in the sky full of neon brilliance, making the night sky in front of the Thousand Bird Cliff become like a dream ruins.

Of course, for a few people on the Thousand Bird Cliff, the magnificent scenery in front of them can only be seen by Qiong Wei. The others saw those bright red light clusters wandering in the moon shadows.

Seeing these Dao souls coming again, Xing Yan didn't care, but continued to concentrate on refining the Qi of Heaven and Earth Yuan Spirits surging around the incarnation. Only among the rocky slopes and trees around the Thousand Bird Cliff were slightly twitching when the Dao Soul flew in, but it quickly subsided—there were many rare birds and beasts lurking in the dark places of those mountains, and they were not very accustomed to these spirits.

After the temporary uneasiness subsided, these rare birds and beasts who had listened to the teachings of the Four Seas Hall were now once again concentrating on bathing in the heaven and earth aura gathered by the Lord of the Four Seas Hall, and in their own ways, they tried their best to refine this hard-won Qiankun Essence.

These rare birds and beasts in the world, and even some grass and tree spirits, have grown in this Luofu Cave Heaven for I don't know how many years, even so, every time the young man on the cliff performs the Divine Transformation Void, it is a grand celebration for them. It can be said that:

Those who listen to the scriptures know their surnames, and those who mute are also talking about their light.

After a brief jolting in the mountains, the Thousand Bird Cliff returned to normal, and only Xiao Qiongwei was still jumping her feet and flapping her arms, trying to fly up and play with those light clusters.

Although the sky over Chidori Cliff is now peaceful. But no one noticed that among the Dao souls that were leisurely floating in the misty light qi, there was one, but it didn't seem to be drifting with the flow. This wisp of Dao Soul has a larger light cluster than its peers, and the red brilliance is stronger, and if you stare at it for a long time, you will feel quite dazzling. If you look closely, the shape of this soul is different from the chaotic shape of other light clusters, and in its vermilion light and shadow, it seems to have thin whiskers in the shape of hands and feet, fluttering in the wind.

The other Dao Souls were now dancing leisurely in the wind, as if they couldn't help themselves, but this Dao Soul was quietly approaching the young man. It's just that he floats forward lightly, but he is a little hesitant; the fourth one who enters and the third one who retreats, if he returns it, it seems that he is struggling in his heart.

This dilemma didn't last long, just when the Heavenly Cave Aura in the sky was gradually fading, and the awakening was about to end refining Dao power, this group of Dao souls seemed to have finally made up their minds, and suddenly shot towards the young man who was sitting on the ground!

It's hard to imagine that such a ghostly and treacherous figure is the phantom light cluster that the wind blows just now. And the young man who was wandering outside the world suddenly felt that the starlight and moonlight in the sky disappeared in front of him all at once.

"What's going on?"

Seeing that he suddenly slipped from the realm of tranquility and clarity into the darkness, the young man who was originally ethereal suddenly realized. When I looked down on my mind, I found that the red ball of light was squeezing into my body!

Before he could fully react, he felt a wave of sharp pain rushing to his bones, and the ghost who had broken through the barrier was trying to squeeze the soul of the master out of the shell.

The pain that struck me in this moment was an indescribable pain, as if I had been tortured with an axe and saw, but I couldn't even scream in pain, and I wanted to dance with my hands and feet, and grasp something to relieve the pain, but I couldn't move a toe or grasp a blade of grass.

If the young man who fell into the cold darkness still had time to judge, then the pain he suffered this time seemed to be several times worse than all the previous pains of Taihua Dao power exhaustion.

And at this critical moment, Divine Sword Yaoguang, who had come to the rescue in the previous several critical seasons, did not see the slightest movement. The dark sword body was faintly shining with the cold moonlight, and it seemed to stand aside, watching awe-inspiring how the young man coped.

"Is it really my share? God will come to take it back this time......

Trying to restrain his mind and fight the preying soul a few times, but to no avail. Gradually, Xingyan began to give up the fearless struggle and prepare to face the end of his soul.

At this time, the spiritual light gathered in the sky above the Thousand Bird Cliff had not yet dissipated, still exuding a faint glow in the moonlit sky; the strange soul that had invaded the body was shining with a beautiful and strange red light, and gradually disappeared into the body of the young man -- the mountains under the moon in Luofu were still clear and dusty, but in the night breeze blowing through the mountains, there seemed to be a trace of smug sneer. With this sneer, the mountains and fields in front of the Thousand Bird Cliff of Baoxia Peak also seemed to boil in a strange way, and the originally peaceful and peaceful stone slopes and trees in front of the cliff were now filled with angry screams.

Just when the sound of silence was about to be extinguished and his suffering soul was about to be liberated, the young man, who had completely relaxed his mind, suddenly felt a familiar round flow-

So familiar, so kind, so smooth, so ethereal, isn't it the flowing water that has been perfect for a year?

"Well, let's use it one last time. Unfortunately, it's not 'Soul Eater'. ”

was already a trance-like teenager, but now he has become calm and indifferent. Although he has to run the flowing Taihua Dao force, he doesn't have much competition. Perhaps, this is really the last time he will use his Dao power in the human world.

Endure the pain, and strive to connect the last wisp of thought with the empty flowing water. At this moment, with the endless flow of Taihua Dao power, the young man seemed to be reunited again, and the trickle at the beginning was already like a lock after a while, and it was flowing through the body that seemed to be about to change hands, passing through the light that had submerged into most of the body.

Every time this untraceable stream of water passed through the light and shadow, it quietly tore off a small lock of light and shadow from the light and drove them to dissolve into the bubbling spring. The original red flow of light dissolved into the Taihua Dao power, and even if it lost its original brilliance in an instant, it merged into the empty and invisible water flow.

In the face of such a dark erosion, the uninvited Dao soul seemed to be unconscious, and was still celebrating the impending rebirth, but after a moment, it suddenly realized that it was facing a catastrophe!

Hold on or run away?

With just one hesitation, this powerful soul has been swept over by the growing "current" - the soul that has been wandering the world for hundreds of years has been wiped out in the blink of an eye.

Suddenly, the restless mountains and fields returned to silence.

"Huh, why is there so much color in the sky?"

The young man who seemed to have just woken up from a big dream, when he opened his eyes, he saw thousands of faint rays of color shaking in the sky, and he was about to struggle to stand up, but found that after experiencing this ordeal, his whole body did not feel the slightest pain.

After standing up, he moved his hands and feet, and heard Ju Yingzheng ask in an eager tone:

"Wake up, are you alright?"

The red light just now, from the invasion to the submersion, was actually only half a cup of tea. In the meantime, the young man's face was as usual, so the few people around him really didn't know what was going on. However, Ju Ying heard the howling of beasts and birds in the mountains and fields, and saw that this red light suddenly disappeared into Xingyan's body, which made her take on a lot of thoughts.

"It's fine. ”

In the face of Ju Ying's concerned questioning, Xingyan only answered indifferently, and now, he was not in the mood to tell the strange things about Fang Cai to the girls. This is incredible, and it only worries them when they say it.

Looking up at the sky, the dozen or so leisurely Dao Soul Red Clusters were still fluttering in a pale glow, as if they didn't know the thrilling scene just now. After looking at it for a moment, Xing Yan sighed secretly:

"It turns out that this quiet dojo is not peaceful. ”

Thinking of the group of "senior" Dao souls that had been refined by himself just now, he said that he didn't know whether he should be hated or pitied.

As he was distracted, he suddenly felt as if something cold was in his hands, and when he looked down, he saw that it was the sword that had been watching from the sidelines. Now, this ancient sword named "Yaoguang" and "Fengshen" is meekly curled up in his palm. For Xingyan, this was the first time he had seen this strange sword so intimate with him, which made him slightly stunned for a while.

Touching the sword body with his hand, his thoughts were fluttering, but he heard the little sister Qiong Wei shouting on the side:

"Brother~"

"Huh?"

"I knew you could defeat the lantern!"

Again to her surprise, she had just "swallowed" a lantern in Qiong Wei's mouth, but this time she didn't say anything to joke about, just looked up at herself with a pair of eyes as bright as stars and moons, and her pink cheeks were full of sweet smiles.

"Hmm!"

After Wen Yan replied with a smile, Xingyan reached over and hugged the little girl in front of him. He had just experienced a sudden catastrophe, and now he felt that everything around him was so lovely and precious.

Looking up, I found that the bright moon in the sky was now as complete as a wheel.

"Oh, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion. ”

This night, before going to sleep, I looked at the few rays of moonlight that penetrated into the house through the window, but found that my eyes became extremely clear, and even the almost indistinguishable fine smoke and dust in the moon shadow were very distinct. I remembered that I could see the brilliance that only Qiong Wei could see later tonight, and I couldn't sleep anymore.

"Is it because of my Taihua Dao strength that has grown again, or is it because of some changes brought about by that group of Dao souls?"

Thinking of the scene of turning the danger into a disaster at the last critical moment, he suddenly remembered what the head of Lingxu said to him at the noon banquet yesterday:

“...... The Flying Moon Streamer Technique has not made much progress? Wake up, you must know that I must not be 'magical' in my Halal Dharma. If you want to practice the supernatural occult arts, you must have moral cultivation to complement them. When you return, you may want to study more of this text. ”

Thinking of what Lingxu said, the young man seemed to have an understanding, so he turned over and got out of bed, went to the table and took the "Tao Te Ching" that had been read many times, and read it in the moonlight before going to bed.

Turning a few pages, I saw these words:

"The way of heaven is to win without fighting. ”
