The spiritual energy has revived, and all the exercises I compiled have been practiced.

Chapter 98: Incense and Vows, the Poison of Faith

Sun Sihai's spiritual power surged throughout his body, and he delivered an earth-shattering blow.

"sharp."

Kong Ji's eyes lit up.

"This Sun Sihai looks unconscious and lost in thought, yet he can still launch such a powerful attack. The power of this attack is comparable to that of a master who has cultivated to the first level of Pure Yang Gong."

"I don't know what means he used, but he was able to bewitch all these people, making them completely lose themselves and willingly lend their life energy to him. That's why he has such terrifying power."

"In just a few days, such a huge transformation has been achieved. It seems that the mist-like power is causing trouble."

"This kind of power is very similar to the power of faith, or the power of incense and vows."

Kong Ji clearly saw that as the wishes and prayers were uttered, the incense and vows of those believers really plundered all the vitality in their bodies and integrated it into Sun Sihai's body.

Kong Ji intercepted the next one casually.

As soon as the soul came into contact with this wish power, a voice immediately rang in the ears.

"Great Bodhisattva of Salvation, I am willing to offer my all. Please punish me and destroy these evildoers before my eyes!"

As the voice sounded, Kong Ji felt the willpower in his hand struggling to merge into Sun Sihai's body. Unfortunately, he was caught by him and had no way to escape.

"It is indeed similar to the power of incense and prayer. The faint prayer sounds I heard outside before came from this."

"It's amazing that Sun Sihai was able to develop this kind of cultivation method within just a few days of the spiritual energy recovery."

"Unfortunately, the method is too crude and cannot be completely refined. Instead, I was infected by the poison of faith contained in the willpower. As a result, my mind was completely lost. I couldn't even grasp my self-awareness and completely lost my essence. I am no longer myself, just like a chicken rib."

Kong Ji stood at the door and finally figured out what Sun Sihai's current situation was.

He actually managed to absorb the believers' prayers and power through a fictitious Bodhisattva, thereby gaining powerful strength.

pity.

The method invented by Sun Sihai is too crude.

The power of incense and prayers is indeed powerful, but it also contains the wishes made by believers.

These wishes carry the believers' strong desires, which will constantly pollute the practitioners' souls and will. If they are not careful, they will be swept away by the believers' desires and completely lose themselves, becoming a clay or wooden sculpture without any consciousness, which simply stores the believers' wishes.

And this desire is the poison of faith that comes with the power of vows.

If this toxin cannot be eliminated, the more willpower you borrow, the more addicted your mind will become, and eventually you will completely lose your original heart and have no self.

Only by eliminating toxins, purifying vows, and cultivating oneself can one be considered a qualified method of cultivating incense and vows.

"Kong Ji, have you figured out anything?"

Fang Qiuchan on the field dodged at will, allowing Sun Sihai to launch crazy attacks, but she could never even touch the corner of his clothes.

This made Sun Sihai roar and scream in anger.

"Who are you two?"

"I don't know you at all. We have no grudges against each other. Why are you attacking me and destroying my foundation?"

Fang Qiuchan sneered when she heard this: "Foundation? What foundation? Just this lousy Bodhisattva of yours?"

"You probably thought you had gained great power, so you secretly set up an illegal organization and attempted to subvert the government, right?"

"Unfortunately, your strength is too weak. Surrender and surrender quickly!"

Fang Qiuchan said several words, but Sun Sihai seemed not to have listened at all. Instead, his pupils were dilated, his movements were crazy, and he kept roaring to himself.

"How dare you disrespect the Buddha? Damn it, damn it!"

"Great Bodhisattva of Salvation and Salvation, grant me more power to help me kill the enemy!"

Sun Sihai roared wildly and launched an attack again, determined to kill Fang Qiuchan in one fell swoop.

However, Fang Qiuchan dodged it lightly with a flash of her figure, and even yawned.

"You are quite an amazing person."

"The spiritual energy has only appeared for a few days, but it has gained such a powerful force."

"But after all, you are just a frog in a well, sitting in the well and looking at the sky, you don't know how big the world is."

Sun Sihai was still the same. He didn't answer at all. He just kept yelling madly something like "Buddha, give me strength".

Fang Qiuchan kept walking and looked at Kong Ji again.

"What's wrong with this guy?"

"It seems that he doesn't know how to respond at all, and this power doesn't seem to belong to him at all."

Truly powerful force can be wielded at will without any loss.

However, Sun Sihai's current state is obviously not right. Of the ten points of his strength he exerted, less than three points were actually used to attack the enemy, and the remaining seven points were wasted meaninglessly.

Unlike Fang Qiuchan, when she strikes out with 100% attack power, that means she has 100% attack power.

Kong Ji smiled when he heard this: "This power does not belong to Sun Sihai. His current state should be called a divine attack."

"God's attack?" Fang Qiuchan asked doubtfully, "What does that mean?"

"To put it simply, it means to ask the gods to possess you, borrow the power from the gods, and gain great strength. You can go through mountains of swords and plunge into cauldrons of oil, and treat everything as a trivial matter. The enemy will die if they are hit by it. It is extremely powerful."

Kong Ji leaned against the wall and said easily: "But Sun Sihai's magic attack is different, it is far from being so powerful."

"He is actually borrowing the power of others and constantly stimulating his own potential. That's why he can have a strength comparable to the first level of Pure Yang Gong just a few days after his spiritual energy was revived. In fact, he himself is very weak and can't stand a single blow."

Kong Ji explained.

In his opinion, Sun Sihai was now in a state of being beaten by a god or possessed by a god.

To him, it seemed as if he had borrowed divine power from the statue of Bodhisattva who saved people from suffering and the last days of the world.

But for Kong Ji, this was not the case.

The source of divine power actually comes from the believers who are bewitched by it.

The believers made wishes, which were converted into incense and prayer power, thinking that they were offering sacrifices to the Bodhisattva, but in fact they were transferred to Sun Sihai, so he gained more powerful power.

As this power grew stronger, Sun Sihai himself was consumed by the poison of faith and could no longer stay awake. He had completely lost his personal will.

His mind had been overwhelmed by the thoughts of dozens of believers present. He could not hear what Fang Qiuchan asked at all and was completely immersed in his own world.

He thinks what the believers think.

The believers want to use the power of Bodhisattva to kill Fang Qiuchan, and Sun Sihai also wants to use the power of Bodhisattva to kill Fang Qiuchan. The thinking of the two has been completely integrated, without distinction between you and me, and they have become an aggregate.

As for the believers, it was even worse.

He can no longer be considered a person with a complete personality.

Their minds were completely bewitched by Sun Sihai, and all their spiritual wills obeyed Sun Sihai's orders, as if they were possessed by another god. They thought that everything they did came from their hearts, but in fact it was the result of manipulation by others.

Sun Sihai was the Bodhisattva they believed in. In their eyes, Sun Sihai's orders were divine oracles from the Bodhisattva. They could not resist at all, and they did not even think about resisting.

Even if these people are rescued, they are only breathing their last breath and are on the verge of death, and may die at any time.

"They are a bunch of pitiful people. It's a pity that it's useless to save them. Their body essence has been completely depleted. Now they are only supported by their last bit of willpower. They will die soon."

Kong Ji sighed and stopped thinking about saving people.

In his opinion, the only person who could be rescued in the entire secret room was Ren Yao, who was struggling in the corner.

This person's mind has not been completely bewitched, and he has not prayed or offered any sacrifices, so he can still survive.

Kong Ji casually released a magical power, dragged Ren Yao behind him, untied him, and then ignored him and continued to observe the situation on the field.

"What divine attack, what Bodhisattva power, they are all vulnerable to a single blow."

Faced with Sun Sihai's attack, Fang Qiuchan was very disdainful.

Tired of hiding, just punch out.

Sun Sihai was suddenly struck by lightning. His body was totally out of control and he slammed hard against the wall. Scars were all over his body, and in some places one could even see white bones.

If an ordinary person were in this state, he would have died long ago.

However, Sun Sihai managed to stand up with the help of his inner power, and even looked full of energy.

"How can a woman like you be so powerful?"

"But that's all. With the power bestowed by the Bodhisattva, I am immortal!"

"Believers, please pray again without reservation. Let the Bodhisattva hear your sincere wishes and grant me more powerful divine power!"

Sun Sihai roared again, and the believers at the scene seemed to be extremely inspired. They held on to their last breath and uttered their final prayers.

"Sacrifice everything!"

"I sacrifice everything in my body, including my life!"

"I volunteer to give my last bit of strength!"

"Bodhisattva, your followers have reached a critical moment of life and death. Please quickly send down your divine power and destroy the enemy!"

As soon as the last wish was made, Sun Sihai seemed to have taken another bite of the supreme tonic medicine, and roared again to launch an attack.

After making this wish, those believers died completely. Their last breath disappeared and even their last moments of life did not exist.

All the vitality and spiritual energy in their bodies were transformed into incense and vows and poured into Sun Sihai at this moment. Their own consciousness was completely annihilated, all the nutrients in their bodies were sucked dry, and they were transformed into horrifying dried corpses comparable to mummies.

"What a domineering wish!"

"It can actually absorb everything a person has and turn it into nutrients to nourish the gods they believe in."

“It’s a pity that this approach can’t last.”

"Once the willpower is exhausted, the potential will be exhausted immediately, the body will collapse, the body will die, and everything will turn into ashes."

"Sun Sihai can be considered a genius. For a mortal who has never practiced cultivation, he can accommodate the wishes of so many people. This is quite remarkable."

"If it were any other ordinary person, I'm afraid that the aura contained in the power of the dozens of people present would immediately destroy their souls and cause them to collapse mentally."

"Sun Sihai is able to utilize the power of incense and prayers. It is indeed not without reason. It is more or less worthy of praise."

Kong Ji sighed secretly.

Even he couldn't bear much of the poison of faith.

If there were ten thousand people who believed in him as a god now, Kong Ji would not be able to hold on, as his own soul would be polluted, and over time, he would completely lose himself.

From this aspect, Sun Sihai is indeed very powerful.

The Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering and the distressed and saves people at the end of the world that he created does not actually exist and cannot be used as a symbol of faith and vows, because it is just an ordinary bronze statue.

It has no inspiration and is not a spiritual object at all, let alone any magical properties.

Strictly speaking, Sun Sihai actually regards himself as a god.

Since the Bodhisattva does not exist, the power of incense and vows is transferred to him, the chief disciple of the Bodhisattva.

It can also be said that he himself is the Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering and disasters in the last days.

“If we can eliminate the poison of faith and allow believers to develop sustainably instead of exhausting all resources, then this method of becoming a god through incense can become a new method of cultivation, and can also gain all kinds of incredible magical powers, and practitioners can also gain extremely powerful strength.”

“I didn’t expect there would be such a reward.”

Kong Ji had figured everything out by now. He knew that with the explosion of spiritual energy, human faith could also be transformed into incense and vows. As long as it was used properly, it could possess extremely powerful power.

As long as there are enough believers of this power, the speed of cultivation will be very fast.

"Sun Sihai has provided me with an idea. He can't figure it out, but I can give it a try."

"I have a lot of memories about this aspect of cultivation in my mind. I can definitely find a way to research a method of using incense and vows without any drawbacks."

"As long as it is researched, it will be a new path with strong power. The speed of cultivation in the early stage will be much faster than the step-by-step training of Qi and body. The biggest drawback is that it requires too many believers."

“Even if it can be eliminated, one will still have to endure the pain brought by the poison of faith at all times, and will always be burdened by external things.”
