Chapter 162 Return, the Origin of the Secret Society
After reaching an agreement with Li Aotian, Shenghuo readily handed over to Li Aotian the ancient book that recorded the practice experience of "The Desolate Swallowing the Heavens".

The latter said unexpectedly: "Senior, I have the impression that you should be a cautious person. Why did you hand over this ancient book to me today with just a few words from me? Don't you, senior, not be afraid of me after the fact?" Go back on your word and not fulfill what you promised before?"

Survival is unpredictable and said: "Actually, this ancient book originated from you. I can't explain the specific reasons, but in short, you can only get this book today if you fulfill your promise later."

"This..." Li Aotian felt a little puzzled, "I didn't quite understand it."

Chenghuo smiled and said: "It's okay if you don't understand. Anyway, you remember: this ancient book is for yourself. If you repent and don't plan to leave this ancient book to future generations, then everything you own because of this ancient book will be lost." , will also disappear.”

"Anyway, let me just say a word: Your promise just now involves a big cause and effect, and breaking the promise easily will cause huge impact. I hope you can do it yourself."

"Um"

Li Aotian nodded, and said solemnly: "I, Li Aotian, will do what I say, seniors can rest assured about this."

Li Aotian is aware of the sea.

Survival no longer speaks.

It's not that he doesn't want to continue to communicate with Li Aotian, but that he can't speak at the moment.

Not long after handing over the ancient book to Li Aotian, Shenghuo once again fell into a long sleep.

During this period, Survival can wake up once or twice every few years:

When Li Aotian was three years old, that is, the fifth year after he got the supreme ancient book, he woke up for the first time.

At that time, Li Aotian had established an organization dedicated to resisting the Heavenly Court.

The code name of the organization is 'Pharmacy'.

The significance of the existence of the pharmacy is to steal the longevity medicine formula from heaven, so that the monks will no longer be affected by the 'short life disease'.

At the same time, there is no need to be enslaved by heaven because of the longevity medicine.

With Li Aotian's cultivation base of "invincible hands under the Nascent Soul Stage", coupled with the goal of the pharmacy, it is what the monks in the world hope for, so there are countless followers at once.

Not long after the pharmacy appeared, forces and organizations that resisted the heavens also appeared in various parts of the world.

Everything is developing on the positive side.

Maybe it won't be long before Li Aotian will be able to lead the monks in the pharmacy to overthrow the Heavenly Court and change the status quo of the lower level cultivators being enslaved
...

time flies.

After another 50 years, Shenghuo woke up again.

"Senior, are you awake again?" This time, Li Aotian took the initiative to speak.

Feeling the success of Li Aotian's change, he was surprised and said: "You, fellow Daoist Aotian, have broken through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage? What state are you in now?"

"I have indeed made a breakthrough." Li Aotian replied: "The realm after the Nascent Soul Stage is to transform into a god."

"The transformation stage is very strong."

"Cultivators who have broken through to the stage of transforming gods can separate their spiritual consciousness, which can travel thousands of miles away in an instant, and all the wind and grass around them can be seen by the monk's eyes."

Transformation period?
In the impression of survival, most of the monks in Xianxia novels can possess the ability of 'spiritual consciousness' during the Qi training period.

Unexpectedly, when actually practicing, one has to wait until the stage of transformation to possess this supernatural power.

While living and thinking, Li Aotian said again: "Actually, there is no 'god transformation stage' on our birthday."

"wrong."

He changed his words: "It's not just our birthday stars, it should be said that in the entire universe, the concept of 'spirit transformation period' does not exist."

"A monk absorbs the spiritual power of heaven and earth and strengthens his body. No matter what, he can only break through to the Nascent Soul Stage and live a thousand years."

"So the Nascent Soul stage is the limit of practice, which is well known."

"But things have changed since the appearance of indescribable creatures in the human world hundreds of years ago."

"After the indescribable creatures appeared, some Nascent Soul cultivators, including me, absorbed the power of these creatures by chance."

"Thus, there are the first batch of monks in the transformation stage."

absorb?

Survival was taken aback when he heard the words.

For some unknown reason.

In the era of survival, the so-called "spiritual power" has long since disappeared between the heaven and the earth, and the cultivators rely on the charity of indescribable creatures.

Take Liangguo as an example:
Liang Guo monks help the 'Buddha' to extract the painful emotions of human beings, and as a reward, the Buddha will give the monks who extract the painful emotions the power.

Among them, the process of giving is called practice.

Or in other words, charity.

Alms from Nameless Creatures
...

on the contrary.

Li Aotian said just now that if a monk wants to break through to the stage of transformation, he needs to 'absorb' the power of indescribable creatures.

You know, 'absorption' is an active behavior.

This is fundamentally different from passively accepting alms from indescribable creatures.

Then it seems reasonable that a monk can break through to the stage of transforming gods in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Shenghuo questioned Li Aotian: "I don't know, can fellow Aotian explain in detail, what should the Nascent Soul cultivator do to actively absorb the power of indescribable creatures?"

"The method of absorption is not difficult, it's just a little bit complicated." Li Aotian said: "It may be a convention. Although I don't know why, this method of absorption is generally called by the monks as "transforming the gods." For God's law'."

"The law of turning gods into gods?" Hearing what the other party said, Shenghuo subconsciously asked: "Is there such a thing as the so-called 'law of turning gods into demons'?"

"There really are!" Li Aotian said: "After all, where there is yin, there must be yang, and where there is righteousness, there must be evil, but in short, I follow the practice path of 'turning gods into gods', so I don't care much about 'turning gods into demons'." learn."

"Want to hear the details!" Sheng Huo signaled Li Aotian to continue talking.

The latter continued: "If you want to follow the path of 'turning a god into a god', the first thing you need to do is to determine the indescribable creature you want to absorb."

"Just like me."

"What I absorbed was the indescribable creature 'Shou' on the birthday star. I broke through to the stage of transforming gods by absorbing the 'Power of Faith' from 'Shou'."

Are you sure you want to absorb the nameless creature?
Following Li Aotian's train of thought, Shenghuo soon thought of the two indescribable things that existed on Xuanwu Star in his time:
They are 'Woo' and 'Buddha' respectively.

Therefore, the power that Survival can actively absorb is the 'power of flesh and blood' representing desire, and the 'power of pain' representing pain.

He asked: "Then how exactly do we absorb the power of indescribable creatures?"

"In my impression, the power of an indescribable creature should carry a lot of pollution before it is absorbed rashly, and it will only drive the absorber into madness in the end."

"You're right." Li Aotian followed, "So relying on monks to absorb indescribable power is tantamount to seeking death."

"So we need to find a substitute for carrying strength. And this substitute is generally called a 'totem' by practitioners."

"Totems are the key to break through to the stage of transformation for monks who take the path of 'turning gods into gods'!"

Li Aotian continued: "In theory, a monk can choose anything as his totem, such as a stone, a sword, or a statue."

"However, the choice of items is different, the difficulty of breaking through will be different, and the abilities obtained when breaking through will also be different."

"When you break through to the stage of transforming gods, can you still gain abilities?" Survival Longing said: "What kind of ability is it?"

"Currently, no one has been able to come up with a rule." Li Aotian replied: "After all, I and other cultivators at the stage of transformation have only just broken through to the stage of transformation, so everything is still in the stage of exploration."

"So apart from possessing divine consciousness, this ability is a fixed one. Other abilities that may be obtained during breakthroughs can only be said to be pure luck at present."

"Some people gained the ability to predict the future when they broke through, and some people gained the ability to be immortal, all of which are the same."

"Let's talk about the totem again."

Li Aotian returned to the subject and said: "After the monk has selected the totem, he only needs to continuously inject 'emotional power' into the totem, and then wait for the totem to grow a true spirit."

"As for which emotion to inject, it depends on which indescribable creature you want to absorb."

"For example, the indescribable creature I absorbed was 'Shou', so what I injected into the totem was the 'Power of Faith'."

Li Aotian's words are not difficult to understand:

For example, if Shenghuo wants to absorb the power of 'Woo', then he needs to inject 'desire emotion' into the totem.

"And then." Li Aotian continued: "When the totem has enough emotional power, it will be able to cultivate a trace of true spirit."

"Then you absorb that trace of true spirit, and you will have the opportunity to break through to the stage of transformation."

"When you break through, you may encounter many problems during the process. I won't explain them one by one. After all, we are still in the groping stage, so you need to adapt to any problems you encounter during cultivation."

Choose a totem, collect the power of emotions and inject it into it, and you can break through after absorbing it after developing a true spirit
Although this process is somewhat complicated, it is really 'not difficult' as Li Aotian said.

Survival was sincerely grateful and said: "Remember, thank you Aotian Daoist for letting me know!"

He thought for a while and said: "I don't know about the practice after the stage of transforming gods, friend Aotian."

"Hey! Don't ask me about it."

Li Aotian said: "As far as I'm concerned, I haven't met anyone who can break through the bottleneck of the stage of transformation. I don't even know what the next stage is called, so it's useless for you to ask me."

"alright."

Since he couldn't get any more information, Shenghuo turned to ask about the current situation: "Speaking of Daoist Aotian, what's the specific situation between you and that court?"

From Li Aotian's perspective, Shenghuo discovered that the other party seemed to be in a palace.

It seems that after breaking through the stage of transforming into gods, Li Aotian is no longer as embarrassed as before.

"You must want to ask, where am I now?"

in the palace.

Aotian poured himself a glass of wine, drank it himself and said: "I am in the Heavenly Court now, in fact, as early as ten years ago, I took the initiative to make peace with the people in the Heavenly Court."

"Reconciliation?" Cheng Huo was puzzled: "Why, didn't you plan to overthrow the Heavenly Court?"

"It's useless."

Li Aotian said: "I originally thought that the 'short life disease' that broke out on the birthday star was spread by the heavens, and the purpose was to control the world through the cooperation of the 'short life disease' and the longevity medicine."

"But in fact, 'short life' is a kind of pollution. It is the pollution spread by the indescribable creature 'shou'."

Another indescribable creature?
Cheng Huo was going to continue to ask, but Li Aotian said self-consciously: "Recently, in the star field we are in, a cultivator of the stage of transformation has provoked the leader and formed an organization called 'Secret Society', and intends to rely on This organization gathers all cultivators at the stage of transformation to fight against unspeakable creatures."

"Secret meeting? Star field?" Cheng Huo was taken aback when he heard the words.

Li Aotian explained: "Actually, there are countless planets in the universe we live in. Most of these planets revolve around the star, that is, the sun, forming a galaxy."

"Countless galaxies revolve around the black hole in the center of the star field, thus forming the star field."

"I said that, can you understand me?"

So the star field is actually the so-called 'Milky Way'?
Survival who has received a modern education quickly understood the concept of the star field, so he responded aloud: "Understood, so is the fellow Taoist planning to leave Shou Xing and go to that organization called the Secret Society?"

"Ah."

Li Aotian said: "The reason why I haven't left now is actually waiting for you to wake up because I have had a premonition a few years ago that you will wake up soon."

"besides."

He continued: "I also have a premonition that you will leave this place after I break through to the stage of transformation."

"No, to be precise, you will leave this world." Li Aotian said uncertainly, "Because I always have a feeling that you don't belong to this world."

"I'm from this world, but I don't belong to the present." Shenghuo replied: "To be honest, at first, I didn't know why I came to this point in time, but then I gradually had a guess."

"Oh?" Li Aotian asked curiously: "Then can you tell me why you came here?"

"Because of you," Shenghuo said meaningfully, "I have to watch you break through to the stage of transformation with my own eyes. In short, whether you can break through to the stage of transformation is related to my life and death, and now you have successfully broken through, so My goal has been achieved.”

"Huh?" Li Aotian didn't understand, so he said, "So fellow Taoists came to my sea of ​​consciousness just to watch me break through to the stage of transformation? That's all?"

Survival replied: "That's all"

Li Aotian frowned: "Can you explain in detail?"

"I really can't." Chenghuo said helplessly: "Once something is said, it will involve more cause and effect, thus creating more variables."

"That's fine." Li Aotian no longer insisted.

"The other thing is," Chenghuo continued: "After you broke through, Fellow Daoist, I also found out from you that there is a practice method about the stage of transforming gods. This is a windfall! So in general, I This time it was a worthwhile trip.”

Li Aotian said: "When will fellow Taoist leave?"

"Well?" Cheng Huo said uncertainly: "It depends on the force that sent me here, when will it send me away."

"That power?"

Li Aotian was depressed by Survival's mysterious demeanor.

He planned to continue asking, but before he could open his mouth, he suddenly discovered that the survival in the sea of ​​consciousness suddenly disappeared inexplicably.

It was as if there had never been a life in this world.

"Becoming a friend?"

In the palace, Li Aotian tried to shout.

There was no one responding all around.

...

Endless darkness.
I don't know how long it has passed.

Survival opened his eyes.

The first thing he saw after opening his eyes was Zhong Ran who was looking at him with a panicked expression.

He is currently pillowing on Zhong Ran's lap.

"I" wanted to speak.

But was interrupted by Zhong Ran: "Success, are you alright?"

"I should be fine?" Chenghuo stood up, looked around, and found himself in a deep pit.

——After leaving Li Aotian's sea of ​​consciousness, he seems to have traveled back again, to the battlefield outside the west gate of Xiashan City in Daliang Kingdom.

At this moment, seeing Shenghuo wake up, the team leader Gu Xian and his teammates, as well as Lei Ting not far away, Yun Rusong, Li Zhuo and others all turned their attention to Shenghuo.
