dejected fairy

Chapter 526: The inner and outer spirits are inseparable, the inner and outer are either real or virtual.

"what?"

Chen Yuan suddenly had an idea.

After feeling the true blood in the body emerge, it began to flow actively, and in a blink of an eye it spread to every place of the black lotus incarnation!

Perhaps it was because the original body was not far from here, or perhaps it was because it had experienced the baptism of resonance of an ancient corpse, this time the true blood rune easily manifested on the surface of the black lotus body, exuding an ancient, thick and powerful aura!
"Who are you? How dare you attack my family!"

On the opposite side, the Taoist swordsman sensed the danger and suddenly opened his eyes. Then his expression changed drastically, with both surprise and anger!
Unfortunately, before he could respond, Chen Yuan slapped his palm with a force as mighty as a landslide, which directly shattered the sword energy gushing out of the sword immortal's mouth, and then sealed it on the spot!

One is a hasty response, the other is an all-out effort, the outcome is obvious.

However, at the moment when Chen Yuan's palm, which contained the Heavenly Dao and True Blood Runes, fell, countless voices of ghosts and demons came out from the dark body, and then runes and symbols emitting golden light appeared on the surface of the dark body!

"This is?"

Chen Yuan's heart trembled, and then he felt a burst of floating clouds. Then his will, along with the flying true blood rune, made contact with a huge body.

This familiar yet strange feeling made him stunned and surprised.

And then, his spiritual consciousness seemed to have been amplifierd and began to expand rapidly, one part inward, one part outward, and the one that went outward, in the blink of an eye, exceeded the scope of this incomplete realm, rushed out of the forbidden area of ​​Kunyu Mountain, and spread towards farther places!
"Resonance? It's similar to the ancient corpse. It was also affected by the glowing inscription. Could it be that this ancient god's remains are also related to the Pangu clan?"

Chen Yuan immediately became interested and excited. He knew that this was a rare opportunity, so he gathered his thoughts, cleared away distractions, and focused his attention on the resonance. Following that connection, his mind slowly synchronized with the huge dark body.

The runes in this body gradually became clearer, resonating with Chen Yuan's true blood runes and maintaining a strange connection.

The black lotus incarnation was immediately drawn into the interior of the pitch-black body!

Chen Yuan once again felt the same feeling as when he was controlling the ancient corpse!
However, what he took control of this time was even more mysterious. It seemed that this huge black body was not a specific body, but a ball of spirit or a soul. The feeling of incompleteness, similar to that of an ancient corpse, was even stronger and more exciting!
"Ok?"

In doubt, an idea popped into his mind, but he immediately put aside all distracting thoughts, concentrated his mind, and explored it in depth.

He first felt a world contained in that dark body.

That world is twisted and strange. It seems bizarre and as chaotic and changing as human thoughts. Especially the changes in time involved in this world, which are sometimes fast and sometimes slow.

Chen Yuan could clearly feel that in this world, there were tens of millions of living beings distributed everywhere. In addition, he also sensed that there were several exceptionally strong wills located at the edge of this world, constantly exerting influence inward.

The world is like water, and these wills are like stains, infecting the entire world and covering the world's original luster with their own colors.

"Is this the chaotic world I experienced before? The speed of time changes like this. There must be a big problem, but..."

It was different from the previous experience where a thought was absorbed and gave rise to an incarnation of thought that drifted in this misty world - before, he seemed to have experienced a lifetime in it. Although his magical powers remained the same, and he was like a passer-by, playing around in the world and not staying in one place, but traveling alone in the world, he was ultimately in the mountains and could not see the whole picture.

At this moment, Chen Yuan's consciousness was high above, like a rising sun, illuminating the entire world, and his will, like the sun, was spreading in every corner of the world, allowing him to see the appearance of this world more clearly.

This is a cave world surrounded by a circle of water.

The entire cave is a complete continent, vast and rich, divided into seven or eight geographical regions, giving birth to many ethnic groups and countries. The most powerful of them has already unified the north of the continent, established a vast dynasty empire, and is sharpening its knives, wanting to annex the world and unify it!
Chen Yuan also had an impression of this dynasty, and with the help of his magical eyes, he had already seen the entanglement of cause and effect therein - in his travels in the strange and mysterious world after his consciousness was born into this world, he once met an aspiring scholar from a small country. The scholar was weak at first, and after being bullied by bandits, his family was ruined, so he took up arms.

"I remember that scholar's surname was Zhao. The bloodline of the royal family of the Dayu Dynasty contains the aura of that scholar Zhao. It should be the bloodline left by that man back then. I just don't know how much time has passed since I withdrew my consciousness from this world."

Logically speaking, it was only a moment before, and Chen Yuan's thoughts sank into it, and he experienced a long time, but the time in this world was distorted and changeable. Now that Chen Yuan withdrew his consciousness, found time to kill a lord of the void world, and comprehended an ancient corpse, ten years may have passed in this world, or even a hundred years may have passed.

"I will have to wait until I distinguish them carefully before I can know the difference."

Thinking of this, he turned his attention to observing the structure of the entire realm within this huge dark body.

The water flowing at the edge of the cave is not the ocean in the general sense, but like a river. Although it is wide, you can see the edge at a glance and see the chaos outside the world.

However, the water flow is extremely turbulent, and it contains a force of return to the origin that originates from this world and goes straight to the underworld reincarnation of this world. Once contaminated by it, one will perish and will not be able to escape.

Not only at the edge of this world, but also in the outer layer of this world, there is a strange airflow that covers the entire world like a cover. Its effect is the same as that of the water flow, making it impossible for any living creature to enter or exit.

“No wonder I felt a little drowsy when I entered with my will before. It must be because I was affected by these chaotic air currents. If my physical body or incarnation wanted to enter, it might be even more obstructed, or even dissolved by this air current!”

Even though Chen Yuan has now surpassed the realm of the Pure and Tranquil Immortal under the combined effects of several Heavenly Dao methods, after coming into contact with the ancient corpse and several pre-Yuan treasures, he has realized that above this Pure and Tranquil, there are actually many dangers and disasters, and it is not that one can rest easy just because his combat power has surpassed the Pure and Tranquil level. Of course, relying on his own strong foundation and some characteristics of the Heavenly Dao True Body, even if he enters with his will, he will only be slightly weak at most, and will not be affected too much. In contrast, the will of the Taoist Sword Immortal and other Sword Sect disciples can only exert influence on the inside at the edge through the chaotic airflow.

"This world is indeed a bit strange. The real bodies of these foreign immortals cannot enter, and their wills are also wandering on the edge. However, they can transmit information, tokens, objects, and even skills and sacrificial methods related to themselves into the realm through methods such as entering dreams and entrusting. The creatures of this world can practice and leave traces, and then they will respond with incense and wishes, but this incense..."

He concentrated his mind and confirmed that many incenses were rising. After being purified and influenced by the chaotic airflow, the emotions and thoughts in them had been lost. They no longer had the characteristics of guidance, paranoia, and chaotic thoughts. Only pure thoughts remained!
"Good fellow! It is said that incense is poisonous. When ordinary gods are worshipped, they will be polluted by the thoughts and emotions of the believers in the incense, and eventually gradually lose their true selves and tend to be inclined to the image created by the believers. However, the incense in this world is purified to such an extent that even if cultivators ingest it, they will not be polluted and affected like those gods worshipped by people. Instead, it can be transformed into spiritual nourishment, constantly strengthening their thoughts and character, and even strengthening their souls and even enhancing their understanding. No wonder the Taoist swordsman was addicted to it and even relaxed his vigilance and did not notice my approach!"

After understanding this, Chen Yuan thought back to the sword immortals and sword sect disciples who had gathered together, and he actually felt that this group of people seemed to be gathering together to swallow the Five Stones Powder.

"I don't know if they were so immersed in it recently that they didn't even inform their respective sects, or if they realized from the beginning that coming here to guard the forbidden area was a disguised form of further study, seclusion, and contemplation of the mysteries."

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan's heart moved, and he went deeper into this world.

Perhaps it was because of the resonance between the runes that allowed him to have a closer connection with the dark body, so this time his will penetrated deeper into the world more smoothly. He then sensed the changes in the long river of time and the power of time. Almost in the blink of an eye, he saw signs of the passage of time!

Chen Yuan realized that if it was not controlled, this inner world would probably last another ten years, or even decades!

And the moment he had the thought of "stopping the acceleration of time", the blurry world that was about to get out of control like a wild horse suddenly paused, and everything seemed to be still!
At the same time, a mysterious and unpredictable feeling filled Chen Yuan's mind, making his original body and the two incarnations feel dazed at the same time. After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yuan suddenly woke up!
While feeling terrified, I was even more surprised to find that the blurry world before my eyes seemed to have stopped and time seemed to have stood still!

However, when he regained his consciousness, he realized that the world was not stopped, but time was flowing very slowly. If one did not distinguish it, one would have the illusion that time had stopped.

"really."

He was not surprised by this change, but it confirmed his guess.

"The runes resonate, the mind takes over. The ancient corpse controls the huge body, while the dark body transformed from the remains of the ancient god is more like a collection of souls and thoughts. The hazy world inside "His" body is more like a dream than a cave! A real dream that includes history, reality, living beings and many other ingredients."

After realizing this, Chen Yuan's mind changed, and he felt that he had a deeper understanding of this mysterious world, and he had a vague illusion that he wanted to control and manipulate it, as if he wanted to become the heaven of this world. But he immediately realized that this was not about him becoming the heaven, but about controlling the remains of the ancient gods just like controlling the ancient corpses.

The essence of the ancient god's remains is the way of heaven in this hazy world. The huge black body in the outside world is just a certain appearance, a certain...

"shadow?"

Such a name suddenly burst out from the bottom of Chen Yuan's heart, and at the moment of enlightenment, a certain thought and idea that had appeared before but was suppressed and dispelled by himself resurfaced in his mind -

"The ancient corpse is incomparably huge, spanning tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of miles, which is even wider than many cave realms. By chance, I resonated with it, and my will briefly took over and was able to control its body. I felt the surging death energy in its body, but other than that, there was no life. The whole body was like an empty shell."

"Although this ancient god's remains are also huge, they are not beyond the starry sky. Compared with the ancient corpse, they are still somewhat lacking. That's why I initially thought that the two were not the same race, but two relatively close pre-Yuan races. But now it seems that the appearance of this ancient god's remains is more like a shadow, a kind of protection and carrier. The real core lies inside, a world constructed like a dream!"

"Of these two, one is inclined towards real matter, while the other is more inclined towards illusory spirits. However, both of them show the glowing inscriptions that can resonate with the power of my Heavenly Dao True Body, and then lead my will to temporarily take control. And when my will is connected to my will, I can feel that both are incomplete and incomplete."

Thinking of this, a strange light flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.

"One is real matter, the other is an illusory spirit. Both are incomplete, but they also have commonalities. Is there a possibility that the two are actually a whole, separated by special reasons or methods? After all, there are not many relics left from the previous Yuan Dynasty, and this kind of existence should be even rarer. The inexplicable appearance of two may not be without reason. After all, this place is essentially the forbidden place of the ancient clan!"

As soon as he thought of this, his heart suddenly began to pound. This was not due to his excitement, but rather a mysterious force enveloping his body!
I thought they were of the same race at most, but now it seems that they may be of the same mind and body!
"Then is there any method to reunite the two? In that case, perhaps I can get a glimpse of the true power of this clan, especially since it has some kind of connection with my Heavenly Dao True Body. Maybe I can use it as a reference to perfect this True Body Method!"

As he thought about this, an idea suddenly came to his mind.

But at this moment, in Chen Yuan's perception, there were many feedbacks, but the divine consciousness that was expanding outward suddenly had feedback -

The divine consciousness had actually touched the edge of the Jade Stele Realm, not only discovering many secrets and mysteries, but also bringing unexpected information to Chen Yuan.

"Almost a year has passed?"

Suddenly, he understood.

"My original body and two avatars were affected at the same time. When I came to my senses, this blurry world was almost stagnant. But in fact, the impact was more than that. Unconsciously, I lost my sense of time! If my original body was not in the Dongxu Sea, the White Lotus avatar was sitting in the ancient corpse, and the Black Lotus avatar was integrated into the ancient god's remains, the situation would be quite dangerous!"

In an instant, he understood the feelings of the Taoist swordsman just now.

But in addition to this, there was also a drastic change in the outside world, which was affecting the three sects and four schools, and was also fed back by divine thoughts at this time.

"The Yunxiao Sword Sect is actually using the banner of slaying demons and defending the Way to eliminate the remaining descendants of the Voice Transmission Pavilion?"
