Reaching the pinnacle from Doupo

Chapter 445 Nightmare Fog, Soul Wound

"Boy Lin, do you want to use the Nightmare Sky Mist to practice?" The Pure Lotus Demon Saint stared at the young man and asked with interest.

"That's right!" Lin Yuan nodded slightly and frankly expressed his thoughts.

"If the rumors are true, the Nightmare Sky Mist can make people sleep for a hundred years. Does that mean that if one can achieve precise control over the illusion, then when practicing in certain areas... such as reading or thinking, one can achieve the equivalent of a hundred years of practice with the power of a dream?"

"If this is really possible, it would be no different from breaking the barrier of time, allowing one to accumulate extremely profound knowledge in a very short period of time."

"This effect can be called a weakened version of reincarnation."

"Simplifying and popularizing it will be as significant as innovating the cultivation system..."

At this point, his usually calm and indifferent voice couldn't help but be a little more excited - to greatly break the time barrier in cultivation is a great achievement!
To achieve great things and establish a career is the deepest aspiration of all men in ancient countries.

Lin Yuan himself also has the ambition and vision to "help the world when he is successful" and "change the world".

When the time is ripe - after he achieves the title of Doudi and completely takes over the Douqi Continent, he will embark on the great cause of changing the world.

By then, Lin Yuan will integrate the many cultivation tips such as "the method of combining the strength of all", "the method of achieving unity between man and elixir", "the method of cultivating the clone", "the method of cultivating the illusion" and so on, and share them with the world in a special way.

At the same time, he will also build a system to transform the wisdom of all living beings into his own resources and nutrients, so as to climb to higher peaks.

Dou Di is just the starting point for him to realize his many ideas.

With a light breath, Lin Yuan suppressed his ambitions and looked at the Pure Lotus Demon Saint with burning eyes, waiting for the latter to answer his questions.

On the side, Zi Yan and Zhu Kun fell into a brief silence after hearing Lin Yuan's words. Then they looked at the Pure Lotus Demon Saint with burning eyes, obviously understanding some of the meaning.

"Clap clap-"

Under the gaze of several people, the Pure Lotus Demon Saint clapped his hands lightly, his eyes full of admiration: "Little Lin, you really did not disappoint me. Your thinking is novel and bold, and you are quite pioneering and enterprising. You have a natural talent for creating new methods!"

"As you thought, when I created the Nightmare Sky Mist, I did refer to the enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, but..."

Changing the subject, he shook his head firmly and said flatly: "This idea won't work, or rather... the difficulty and cost are too great, while the gains are relatively insufficient!"

"Why?" Lin Yuan frowned and asked.

"Don't worry, answer me a question first!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint shook his head slightly and asked, "In your opinion, among the body, soul, and fighting spirit, which one is the root of life?"

"Soul!" Lin Yuan gave his answer without hesitation: "Although all three are important, if I have to choose one, I would choose the soul!"

"Yes, it's good to have this understanding!"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint nodded slightly and continued to ask, "Then continue to answer me, in your opinion, what shaped your current soul?"

Lin Yuan thought for a long time before he slowly spoke: "It is the innate origin and the acquired experience - the innate soul origin is the seed, and the acquired experience and opportunity are the nutrients. The two together have created my current soul."

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint clapped his hands and chuckled: "Yes, this is a reasonable explanation! And the key point of your question is exactly here..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan immediately bent his body slightly and said with a bow, "I am a dull student. Please help me, Master Jiang!" "No need to be polite." The Pure Lotus Demon Saint waved his hand and immediately became serious. "Little Lin, remember one thing. The soul is not simply shaped by power. Experience or memory is also an extremely important part of it..."

"Remember, there is a fundamental difference between memory and the flow of information when accepting inheritance and reading scrolls."

"Memory itself is the material that shapes the soul. It can be burned directly into the soul. There is almost no suitable defense."

"Since the recording of memories can shape and change the soul, it can also naturally harm the soul. I know two ways to attack the soul with memory."

"One is a precision attack that uses specific memories to cause special mental defects, commonly known as inner demons."

"The other is a saturation attack, which uses some means to create a large amount of 'false memories', and then releases them in an instant, tearing apart the root of the soul, causing a soul rift that is more hidden, more dangerous, and more difficult to repair."

"In a saturation attack, the greater the amount of 'false memory', the greater the rift in the same soul."

"In addition, the incorporation of a large amount of 'false memories' will cause the soul to undergo changes that are out of sync with the physical body, thus causing the body and soul to be misaligned, almost like the soul leaving the body... If this continues for a long time, the consequences will be quite serious."

"When you were out of your body before, you also tried to keep the time as short as possible, right?"

"The soul is the source of life, and there are many unsolved mysteries! But one thing is beyond doubt, that is, once the soul is damaged, there will be problems in cultivation. In serious cases, even the path of cultivation may be cut off..."

"Speaking of this, with your talent, you should understand what I mean, right?"

The Pure Lotus Demon Saint smiled and glanced at Lin Yuan, then slightly raised his head. His gaze seemed to penetrate the void and fell into shallow memories.

"Master Jiang's Nightmare Sky Mist is a method of saturation attack?" Lin Yuan was silent for a long time and confirmed.

"It can be considered a by-product!" The Pure Lotus Demon Saint nodded slightly and said lightly.

"My original intention in creating the Nightmare Sky Mist was the same as yours - to replicate the hundred-life reincarnation of Bodhi Chance and use it for cultivation, but it ultimately failed."

"The nightmare fog that I created with great effort is ultimately just a means of attacking the soul."

"Moreover, this method of use has little effect on strong people in the same realm. They can quickly break the illusion, so that the amount of false memories cannot accumulate to cause damage. Later, I adjusted the research direction and improved the Nightmare Sky Mist in other directions."

"As for the use of saturation attack, it can only be regarded as one of the niche uses of Nightmare Sky Mist. It is a method of using the strong to bully the weak!"

"Speaking of this..."

A strange expression appeared on his face. "The reason why I cast Nightmare Sky Mist on that city, and the ending of that city, are not recorded in the ancient books you read, right?"

"Yeah!" Lin Yuan nodded, confirming the other party's statement.

“Haha!” The Pure Lotus Demon Saint chuckled: “That city is called Frost Moon City. It is a very powerful force and was once my enemy.”

"I didn't want to kill millions of people, so I used the Nightmare Sky Mist to cut off their path to cultivation. As expected, after being attacked by the Nightmare Sky Mist, Frost Moon City quickly declined and was soon conquered by other forces, disappearing into the long river of history."

"The results I told you are the result of tests on millions of people. When you conduct research on the soul... you must be cautious."

After a long while, Lin Yuan bowed again and sincerely thanked him: "Thank you Master Jiang for your teachings!"
