Lingwu: I am the only immortal

Chapter 354: Doing great things has become a basic need

The Three Gods Sect's special warfare team worked tirelessly and finally caught up with Zhou Yi and his party's journey, and successfully blocked Zhou Yi at the entrance to the crater of Abed Temple.

Zhou Yi got what he wanted and was in a good mood. He glanced at the surrounding holy guards and said with a smile: "Your master obviously has great confidence in you, but he doesn't even have a psychic physique that can descend from the gods. I just Stop bullying the small. Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance."

As he spoke, lightning flashed, and the guide and camel disappeared.

The holy guards looked at each other, and someone muttered: "How can we hunt the other party if they have this skill?"

Some people noticed something strange in the main square of Abed Temple.

"Oh, no! Get out of here!"

Unfortunately, it was too late. As soon as he turned around, he saw a slightly humanoid monster rising from the sand more than ten meters away.

The situation was as if a huge mummy buried in the sand had raised its upper body.

These giant sand monsters are not simply a human wall held hand in hand to prevent the Holy Guards from escaping. Their images only represent the shell of the Spirit of Vengeance and are the manifestation of the extraordinary power of the Spirit of Vengeance.

Soon, the mummy also made salon rolls.The rotating wind and sand, like layered knife wheels, made a piercing sound when cutting the air.

"Ouch!" Someone among the holy guards launched a sonic attack, a big move comparable to Banshee's Wail. ​​There was almost no forward movement, but there was a long cooldown of the skill after it was released.

The difference between this attack and the Banshee's Wail is that it does not target the soul, but is an energy attack aimed entirely at matter.

The best record of this holy guard using this kind of attack was to directly collapse a city gate.

However, today, the tornado wall only bent slightly, then straightened up again and pushed forward together.

There was also a holy guard who did not believe in evil and shouted: "Look at me!"

At this time, the wind was already raging, gradually gaining the momentum of rolling thunder, and it could not be heard without roaring.

Therefore, he failed to hear the advice of his companions in time. His body, which was made of copper and cast iron, shone with the light of gold, and then he rushed towards the tornado.

After a while, the desert version of the iron cloth-shirted cultivator, whose skin and flesh was shaved off and turned into a gourd stained with sand and blood, was sent back to the front of the holy guards.People watching were shocked and heartbroken.

"This is a spell. If you don't kill the caster, you won't be able to get out."

"Can't you just walk in the air?"

"Not very good, there are traps, I feel the hidden thunder."

"Asshole, this dark wanderer is indeed what Assassin reported, wherever he goes, he wakes up evil spirits!"

Someone encouraged everyone to cheer up: "Our ancestors defeated heretics and evil spirits here in the past. Today, we can also kill those evil spirits who refuse to die obediently! Let's go and kill them!"

"Yes, kill it!"

"We will not lose to our ancestors."

However, these obsessions that were transcended by Zhou Yi as the Gui Emperor were not simply the dead souls of Li Gui, but special beings blessed by the Great Dao, recognized by the Dao of Heaven, and possessing the power of revenge.

After taking revenge, they can go back to their destination, giving them a special aura, using magic-like spells at the magical level.

This is a method that can vaguely touch the rules, and its power is still higher than the spell casting effect of ordinary Nascent Soul Master.

The Heavenly Group of the Three Gods Religion is not as good as the post-tribulation level of all members. Their characteristic is that their strong point is that they can reach the level of the God Transformation Stage, and their weak point is the level of the golden elixir, or even lower, the peak of foundation building.

This is caused by the practice system and practice concepts.

On the one hand, the church system does not have a tradition of practicing for hundreds of years and wasting a lot of extraordinary resources to achieve something. If it can be practiced for hundreds of years, it is already an extremely powerful method.

On the other hand, they did not become strong by accumulating breakthroughs on their own, but by winning God's favor in order to obtain generous gifts.

They themselves mainly build themselves into qualified containers of divine power, and they also focus on practicing an art and several powerful supernatural means.

Therefore, their strengths and weaknesses are prominent and they are very crispy.

Of course, this does not mean that the Holy Guard is a waste.

In fact, from a group perspective, the Holy Guard is more cost-effective, requires less talent, can be mass-produced, and can be formed quickly. It relies on teamwork to make up for its shortcomings, and its group P ability is not much weaker than that of cultivators.

Their real problem is that their system is not beneficial to themselves, but to the team, and even to the God the team belongs to and believes in.

Cultivators, on the other hand, all strive to be free and transcendent, and each one must be considerate of everything and make up the shortest part of himself in order to accommodate more extraordinary power until complete transformation.

Although it is self-interested and everyone has the chance to become an immortal, from a war perspective, such a team cannot be trained or used, and there is basically no military discipline at all. The level of organization is that of Jianghu sects, or even villagers fighting with each other.

Because of this, Dayong's Dao lineage, even in its heyday, was unable to reach here, occupy the mountains, set up flags, and spread its branches and leaves.

Today, Zhou Yi allowed these top professional thugs to experience an oriental style.

It's just that it's difficult for them to share their experiences with their colleagues or church members. There are a lot of vengeful spirits...

At night, the cold moon is like a hook.

The desert was dead silent, without a breath of wind, as if the whole world had died.

However, the place where Zhou Yi and the others are located is full of vitality.

A campfire is like a poison that attracts souls, even attracting creatures from dozens of kilometers away.

But since it is poison, it is naturally fatal. There are strange lightnings wandering around the camp.

Their names are active lightning, which means that Zhou Yi has developed Qingwei Sect's thunder method to a special level.

This is not a matter of excellence or not, but a characteristic.

Zhou is now moving towards becoming the Lord of Creation.

Of course, as in the past, the projections of the heavens are responsible for exploring the path, so they are more open-minded and at a higher level than the deity in terms of practice.

Thunder Lords destruction, but also life.Active lightning is a concrete interpretation of this characteristic of thunder.They are wrapped in the power of magnetism, and sometimes they playfully use their energy bodies to interact with the sand on the ground, forming continuous arcs of electricity.

But most of the time, they are wandering in the air like jellyfish, and their actual speed is much faster than they appear, because they are lightning, and with a grunt, they may go thousands of meters away.

When a purple arc appears in the darkness, it is when they kill. No matter what was at the other end of the arc, there will only be one thing in the future, ash.

The four of them, Farid, were sitting beside the campfire, sitting on the carpet, wrapped in camel hair blankets, drinking hot drinks, and chatting quietly from time to time.

Compared to them, Zhou Yi was more like a guard. He stood on the small sand dune like a javelin, as if he was looking into the distance where the sky and the earth meet, but in fact his eyes were empty and he was thinking about his thoughts.

According to the information obtained by Abed, the old god has a certain involvement with the ancient god and is a follower of the ancient god.

Due to some special reasons, the ancient god had to go to the starry sky sea deep in the mysterious world to sleep.

The former followers took over the authority of the ancient gods and continued to exercise the functions of theocracy.

However, the old gods are no better than the ancient gods after all. They are not born in response to the evolution of heaven and earth, and are not too closely bound, so they are freer.

But correspondingly, their power is not very good, and they mainly rely on the artifacts left by the ancient gods to run the kingdom of gods.

In Zhou Yi's view, this is more like the lord is absent and the steward is in charge of running the territory.

A housekeeper's professional ability may be higher than that of a lord, but a lord is the one recognized by the top circles of power.

The demise of the old gods was mainly due to two reasons. On the one hand, the heaven and earth continued to evolve, and the artifacts changed.

This is actually because as the ancient gods fell asleep, the evolution of heaven changed the rules, just like the jade tree and Qionghua that were once alive, and finally turned into special amber-like fossils. Although they are still treasures of heaven and earth, their essence has changed a lot. big change.

The ancient gods may have some ability to resist this change that damages their own status, but the old gods do not have this ability.

They could only watch helplessly as the artifacts gradually lost their power as the way of heaven changed.

On the other hand, there are three gods ascending to power.

The Old Gods and the Old Gods actually belong to the same series, just like the principal and the accomplice. The principal is sitting in jail, while the accomplices commit minor crimes. After escaping, they continue to use the principal's tactics to maintain the status of the former gang.

This is obviously not an update, but a delay.

The three gods are the gods of the new era, and they are more in line with the present.

This fit may not necessarily be recognized by Heaven.

It may be that Tiandao encouraged the Law of the Jungle during this period and gave up the Destiny's Child style, and instead competed for the upper hand in the manner of raising gu.

So someone really did it, and Heaven would not break its promise, and the new god was born.

But the new gods are born with deformities, because heaven will no longer grant them powerful enough authority like it did to the ancient gods.

He did that in the first place in the hope that the Ancient God, as an extension of the will of Heaven, would hold authority and promote evolution.

Now that the evolution is on track, the wonderful plot that Tiandao needs is interpreted with life, played with music, and then danced, giving it too much power, but it is boring.

Of course, the specific story is still a little complicated.

Because of the random intrusion of the divine stones, variables were added to the entire process of eliminating old and new ones, and even caused the normal evolution to get out of control for a time.

What Zhou Yi calculated at this time was that the incarnation of the King of Creatures had occupied several parts in the entire evolution process.

Because according to Murphy's Law, if it weren't for his intervention, the world would probably slide into an irredeemable abyss because of the divine stone.

After all, even the world of gods has been greatly affected.

To use a humanistic description, this is called eating what’s in the bowl and thinking about what’s in other people’s bowls.

If there is such an originator that interferes with evolution, if it is a big eater, just like Azathoth in Lovecraft's novel, feeding on the universe.

Then after confirming that the universe has been captured and it is only a matter of time before it is completely eaten, it is very logical to plan your next destination.

Against this background, Zhou Yi recalled the past archives, looking for the guy who looked most like the mastermind behind the scenes, and came to the conclusion that it was Hades.

He sent the blood fiend incarnation to explore Hell.

It just so happens that he has quite a lot of research on the underworld path of the Gui Emperor and Gui King series.

Comparing the underworld with the underworld, you will find that it has not become a degradation place for the movement of true spirits in accordance with the needs of the evolution of heaven, but has been used to cause trouble.

Using the simplest logic, it is not difficult to see that when too many dead souls cannot release the true spirits and return to the true spirit river, it means that the total amount of the true spirit river is continuously decreasing.

At the same time, the souls of the dead cannot dissipate normally, which means that the evolved information represented by their life memories cannot be included in the general information database of Tiandao.

Anything less is fine, but too much will inevitably distort the evolution of heaven.

Whether these dead souls are eaten or twisted into demons and monsters, they are an obstacle to the normal operation of heaven.

Generally speaking, Tiandao would not mess with such a thing on its own.

Of course, it is also possible that he has been exposed to too many bad things and has become a black man. Just like Sargeras in World of Warcraft, the number one hitman of the Star God clan, he finally went crazy because of the endless workload of 007 with ten thousand years of muscle. .

But just like this, it can't explain things like divine stones.

Just like a person cannot dream of something he has never been exposed to.

For example, if someone has never seen the real sea in his life, then he will not dream of the sea. Even if he hears the name of the sea, he will only dream of a large area of ​​water without the details of the sea.

The same is true for the sacred stone.

It contains a trace of the origin of the great avenue, which is not found in the universe after the creation of the world. It has been controlled by the way of heaven and transformed into derived elements.

I’ve never seen one, so how do I know the imitation is similar enough?
But this problem seems to have an explanation, and that is the mysterious world.

The mysterious world is said to be the material warehouse left behind after the great feat of creating the world. Theoretically, there are chaos-level products there, including the 33-day Qingwei Thunder, and naturally there is also the origin of the great avenue.

So the situation now is that he has a general understanding of the secrets behind the entire world, but there are still some things that need to be confirmed.

After confirmation, he can decide whether to try to summon the incarnation of the King of Deception to return.

What he is afraid of is that the incarnation of the King of Creatures is trapped too deep in this world. Once he is summoned, it will be like massacre of believers in the world of gods, which will lead to deepening karma.

If the incarnation of the King of Gui is really trapped deep enough, becomes insolvent and becomes a Taoist, becomes a part of the underworld, and completes the rule-level patching of the sky, then with this summons, he is very willing to face such a situation:
I am the account manager of a certain bank. I am very honored to inform you that because of your recognition of your ancestors, the small debt your father owed the bank during his lifetime will be repaid by you...

Then it is better not to recognize this ancestor or son.

"Well, let's go to Xie Yang Canyon first. Maybe the person involved knows more secrets."

Xieyang Canyon, the place where the sun god among the old gods fell.

The name "Xie Yang" is due to the fact that during the resistance, the sky fire raged and the plateau desert was formed. This person played an important role.

Therefore, later generations generally recognized the sinful accusations made by the three gods against the sun god and called it evil sun.

The sun god has indeed fallen.

But there may still be echoes of lingering memories, because the canyon has been there for many years, and there are always strange phenomena. It is a very famous and troubled place, and many explorers have never returned.

"Regardless of whether Xieyang Canyon can get useful information or not, the next stop will only be Xuanjie.

The matter of the big tree demon means that the mysterious world is a transfer station of dimensions, and there are many special dimensions similar to the Starry Sky Sea where the ancient gods sleep.

In addition, whether the mysterious world really has the origin of the great avenue, or even high-end mysterious objects such as Qingwei Thunder, you have to confirm it yourself.What if Xiao Yu was a big liar back then?

What if the child, who is reluctant to let go and cannot trap the wolf, uses ancestral treasures to lie to me, saying that there are many of them in a certain place, so I can grab a handful of them?

If the information is not enough, we have to take a trip to the Starry Sky Sea to awaken an ancient god, and many things will probably become clear..." Zhou Yi silently planned his future itinerary.

Ever since he singled out the Divine Court in the Divine World, he has basically lost much respect for the gods and has become a lot more courageous. Many things that in the past seemed to be purely seeking death, now feel that they are nothing more than that.

He doesn't think it's an expansion of mentality, but thinks it's a necessity for ascetics, an instinct.

Cultivation uses extraordinary power represented by spiritual power and evil power.

Cultivation uses immortal power.

Cultivation uses Tao power.

But at any level, the only thing that controls special powers is soul power.

So state of mind becomes a key concept.

So, what kind of state of mind is needed to skip the second half of cultivation, or even the entire stage of cultivation, and directly practice Taoism?
His soul instinct requires a large amount of high-quality information for special soul forging to match the state of mind required by the ascetic.

Therefore, the information obtained from the normal experience of the world, such as wind, flowers, snow, moon, grievances, love and hatred, can no longer meet his needs. He needs high-end, mysterious, and single-universe-level, or even multi-universe-level information to satisfy his mood. The need for forging.

Otherwise, he will be enslaved by the avenue.

He used to think that as long as he didn't use it, as long as he was self-disciplined, it would be fine.

Later it was discovered that this was not the case.

Utilizing the Great Way is like igniting divinity.

Divinity is closely bound to the soul. If you cannot obtain fuel, you will be burned.

There is no turning back when the bow is fired, either the five cauldrons are eaten or the five cauldrons are cooked. This is the price of sweeping across the world, and even the white-glove heavenly group of Shenting can win, and it is the price of being so strong that it has no friends.
