Chapter 10: Soul Shackles
For Niu Daren, it doesn't matter if there is an opening period, a heartbeat period, a fusion period, a golden pill period and a yuan infant period in "The Secret of Death and Rebirth", who makes the family have both human blood and the blood of the Golden Armor Divine Ox, as long as Niu Daren is willing, he can completely treat himself as a demon beast, directly catch other demon beasts, and suck wildly, at least he can achieve the transformation into a human.
However, Niu Daren never thought about it like this, when he was in the Purple Bamboo Forest, Lin Ruoxi told him very clearly, if it wasn't for the approaching limit, he was forced to be helpless, don't take this method to directly improve his cultivation, otherwise the difficulty of comprehending the Heavenly Dao in the future will increase several times, let alone think about crossing the tribulation and ascending, because he still has half of his bloodline from humans.
However, I don't know how many generations it takes to achieve a practice from creation to perfection, and how many exercises have become the yellow flowers of the past, and no one can practice them anymore. Niu Daren wants to rely on his own strength to perfect the "Death Qi Transformation Technique" to the point of transcending the tribulation and ascending, but it is really difficult to ascend to the sky.
But he had no choice, and if he didn't perfect the "Death Qi Transformation Technique" to the point of transcending the tribulation and ascending, he would not be able to achieve immortality, and at that time, he would still have only one way to die.
However, the way of heaven is ethereal, nothing is destined, it is difficult to guarantee that Niu Daren will not be able to have an epiphany and complete the exercises, and at that time, the "Death Qi Transformation Formula" will be brilliant and infinite, creating an immortal era.
Regardless of whether or not the exercises can be continued in the future, the top priority is to improve the cultivation and understand the impact of death qi on the human body, so that we can better control it in the future.
Improving cultivation is naturally important, there is still one thing, we must be sure, whether it is a demon beast or a beast, it is all flesh, once the dead qi is sucked away, it will inevitably become a corpse, for their own selfish desires, miserable lives, unbearable, if you can master the appropriate scale, you can not only save the lives of others, but also improve your cultivation, wouldn't it be beautiful.
Niu Daren He didn't want to improve quickly, but in order for one person to gain the Dao, it was definitely not something he could do to lose thousands of lives, and only by mastering the accurate scale as soon as possible could he cultivate with peace of mind.
So he walked all over the mountains and forests, regardless of the demon beasts and beasts, captured them one by one, first sucked out all the death qi in the prey, and then retrograde the exercises, and gradually returned. After all kinds of attempts, it was finally clear that all healthy demon beasts and beasts would have no effect if they lost thirty percent of their death qi, and if they had one more point, they would have to worry about their lives. Niu Daren recorded many attempts in detail one by one, so that in the future, if someone practices the "Dead Qi Transformation Technique", it can also be used as a reference.
Originally, I thought that the demon beast was strong and would be able to absorb a few more points, but I never thought that the two were the same. Lord Niu guessed that perhaps because the demon beast was strong, only stronger germs could invade, and it was because it needed more death qi to resist, which was the main reason for the indifference between the demon beast and the beast.
In any case, the scale has been determined, and in the future, you only need to try your best to absorb it, so why worry about not improving your cultivation rapidly, just sucking it out and returning it, which is really troublesome.
After traveling in the mountains for a hundred days, coupled with Niu Daren's sleepless sleeplessness, there were no less than a thousand demon beasts and beasts that he sucked, and he finally felt that his cultivation had loosened, and he was afraid that it would not take many days to make a breakthrough and reach the middle stage of foundation building.
These days, Niu Daren did not forget to meditate hard, and strive to realize the next realm of "Death Qi Transformation Formula" as soon as possible, but his biological mother Ruoxi had repeatedly warned that the perception of the previous life was useless to this life, and if he was too persistent, he would be burdened by it, so Niu Daren did not dare to think much about the things in the previous life, so as not to affect the cultivation of this life.
However, the pain of the previous life, how can you say forget it, the more you don't want to remember, the more you think about it, I thought I would be burdened by the previous life, and I will never be able to gain immortality in this life, how do I know that a thought suddenly popped up, this heavenly way is like a needle under the sea, although it is difficult to find, but it is real, if the mind is swaying, it will become a carved boat to seek a sword, as long as he can be like a rock, he will be able to sharpen iron into a needle, and find the true solution.
"People in the world say that concentration is the only way to cultivate, I prefer to go the other way, as the so-called stones of other mountains can attack jade, why can't I learn from other people's cultivation methods to achieve my heavenly way. ”
With this thought, Niu Daren no longer cared about the various aspects of his previous life, but instead studied the exercises in his memory without distinguishing between good and bad, carefully savoring the cultivation experience of others, and summarizing them, which became the evidence of the perfection of "The Recipe for Death Qi and Rebirth".
Since Niu Daren began to study various exercises, he redistributed his time, continuing to absorb and refine the qi of death during the day, and at night, he was studying the writings of others and meditating on how to perfect the "Recipe for Transforming Death Qi into Life", so his ascension speed also slowed down.
A year has passed, and the body has already reached the middle stage of foundation building, but there has been no progress in "Dead Qi Transformation and Life Formula", but in recent days, Niu Daren has always felt that something is wrong, but he has never been able to understand.
In a cave, Niu Daren carefully grasped the descriptions of these exercises, and finally found the problem, although these exercises are uneven in quality, but they have one thing in common, that is, the soul realm is completely consistent with the body cultivation realm, each cultivation realm has three stages, before, during and after, and the soul realm is the same.
Generally speaking, the improvement of the soul realm is faster than the physical realm, even if it can't be surpassed too much, then at least it goes hand in hand, otherwise it will be as Lin Ruoxi said, the body cultivation is higher than the soul realm, then the soul cannot control the body, and the serious ones will explode and die, but this is not the case with "The Secret of Death Qi and Rebirth", from the beginning of cultivation, Niu Daren's soul realm has not improved in the slightest, and it is still in the attribute definition stage.
"Even if I haven't perfected the exercises of the Enlightenment Period, the soul realm should also be improved, why is this happening?" Although the problem was discovered, Niu Daren could not find a reasonable explanation.
Niu Daren was also a cultivator in his previous life, so he naturally understood the truth, there is no difference between the soul realm and the body realm, and in a big realm, they are all divided into three small realms, which is why sometimes you are in the same big realm, but you can't judge the cultivation of others, because your soul realm is a little lower than other people's body realm.
Could it be that the soul of Niu Daren only has a great realm, but there is no distinction between small realms? This is absolutely impossible, this is the way of heaven, how can it be done casually according to one's own wishes.
In any case, Niu Daren would never have thought that he would have problems in this regard, he carefully studied the two god-level exercises of "Heaven Breaking Mantra" and "Crazy Bull Running to the Sun", more than a dozen superior exercises, and hundreds of exercises that had not yet been perfected to the point of crossing the tribulation and ascending, and none of them mentioned this matter.
"What's the problem?"
Niu Daren walked around the cave and couldn't find the reason, but it was a pity that he couldn't practice other exercises now, otherwise he would know the problem if he tried it.
Now Niu Daren's soul seems to be tightly locked by an invisible shackle, which cannot be shaken, if he can't find the secret key to opening, I'm afraid that he won't need to continue to write the exercises, and he will directly suffocate to death in this first layer of the realm.
"Could it be that I can really only forcibly improve my cultivation?" Niu Daren was a little frustrated, he really didn't want to use this method to improve his cultivation.
Niu Daren stopped suddenly, and then took out the "Crazy Bull Running to the Sun" written by Lin Ruoxi for him again, looking up page by page, word by word, he felt that such an important thing should not be missed.
However, when he finished reading all the words before the transformation period of "The Wild Bull Running to the Sun", there was not a single word about the soul cultivation to improve to the small realm, not even a word.
"Why, why!" Niu Daren was crazy and directly overturned the thousands of manuscripts written by Lin Ruoxi himself.
"There's no hope, there's really no hope. Niu Daren lay down on the books, looking at the roof of the cave in despair.
A year ago, when he finally comprehended a shallow but profound truth, that is, all the laws of the same way, the exercises in the world can be used by him.
At that time, he seemed to feel that hope was within reach, but now, he tripped over a grain of sand, and this heel fell so that he couldn't tell the difference between east and west, and maybe there was no day to turn over.
A heavy shackle locked his soul and his hope, is there really no way? Is there really no way to do it?
Yes, he can indeed quickly raise his cultivation to the transformation stage, and even get thousands of years of lifespan, but what is the point of that? It is nothing more than to make a cultivator become a demon cultivator, and let the starting point change from the foundation building period to the transformation period, and that shackle still firmly locks his soul, so that he will always linger at the starting point, and he will never have the opportunity to touch the Heavenly Dao.
"I don't believe that others can do it, but I can't do it, I will definitely find a solution, I will definitely be able to!" I thought that Niu Daren would sink like this, but I didn't expect that his vitality was still tenacious and his fighting spirit was high.
"If you want to achieve the foundation, you must first put on the posture of practicing the exercises, and then meditate, and then connect the qi of death, if the qi of death feels the operation of the exercises, it will automatically enter the body and modify the attributes of the body and soul, these are no problems, so what is the problem?"
Although Niu Daren still can't sense the death breath between heaven and earth, he still does it step by step, recalling step by step, hoping to find the problem.
"Yes, that's right, then why can't the soul be promoted? Does it have anything to do with my posture? What does it have to do with this! It's really strange, can it be that by practicing other exercises, the soul can be automatically improved?"
"Didn't I cultivate like this in my previous life? But apart from comprehending the Heavenly Dao, no one told me to cultivate my soul! What the hell is going on? Could it be that my soul doesn't need to be cultivated to automatically ascend? In that case, why doesn't my soul realm improve? That is, I need to cultivate, but why don't all the exercises say how to cultivate the soul?"
"Could it be that Heaven has abandoned me? How is it possible? One sheep is driven, and two sheep are also released, why did they abandon me? What is going on? Can anyone explain to me? Hey, if my mother is still alive, she must know. ”
But Lin Ruoxi has already left this world, and it is impossible to explain this problem to him anymore, and Niu Daren can only talk to himself.
In his previous life, Niu Daren was a cultivator in the distraction period, who had cultivated for hundreds of years, but now he couldn't explain how the soul realm had been improved, which was really an inexplicable thing.
In short, this soul shackle has been placed in front of Niu Daren, and whether it can be opened depends on his creation.
