Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 226: Tianqing Sect Treasure Appraisal Conference

"I can suppress my inner cultivation because of these wood carvings."

In a wood carving shop.

Gongsun Ji said this and stood up and walked to the wooden display cabinet in the store.

He took out an exquisitely shaped wooden tiger sculpture from one of the display cabinets and threw it into Xie Shen's hands.

He asked Xie Shen, "Besides my spiritual power, did you see anything else in this wood carving?"

Reminded by Gongsun Ji, Xie Shen silently released his spiritual consciousness and probed into the interior of the wooden sculpture.

next second.

He said in a deep voice: "This tiger wood carving gives me a feeling of flesh and blood, as if it were alive."

"Could it be that you not only injected spiritual power into the wood carving, but also injected your own vitality into it?"

"What else?" Gongsun Ji pointed to his head of white hair and the wrinkles on his face.

He smiled and said, "I am a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage. I should live to be seven or eight hundred years old before my hair turns gray and I grow old."

"But in order to suppress my own cultivation and avoid ascending to the fairyland, I managed to inject my own vitality into the wood carving."

"That's why."

"I am only about 200 years old, and I have become what I am now."

As Gongsun Ji spoke, he suddenly cast a spell and took the wooden tiger sculpture from Xie Shen's hand.

After injecting a stream of black mist into the wood carving, he threw it into the air and said to Xie Shen, "Fellow Daoist, pay attention. I will show you what is so magical about the wood carving that has been injected with vitality."

Hearing the sound, Xie Shen looked towards the wood carving.

——But the wooden sculpture that had received the black mist grew nearly a hundred times in size as soon as it escaped from Gongsun Ji's hand.

As the wooden tiger grows in size, its fur begins to come more lifelike.

At last.

This wood carving is transformed into a real tiger.

In front of Xie Shen, Gongsun Ji closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the ground. In an instant, his whole body collapsed as if he was unconscious.

at the same time.

The tiger spoke in human language, "Daoyou, do you think my ability of soul transformation is worthy of your attention?"

this.
Xie Shen looked incredulous and said, "You actually transferred your consciousness into the wooden tiger? How is this possible?"

"As far as I know, human consciousness can and can only reside in the brain."

"Or it could be stored in a bionic brain, or a brain constructed with mechanical simulations of flesh and blood."

"As for other dead objects, like wood carvings or something."

"These are absolutely impossible to host human consciousness."

“Fellow Daoist, what you said is only half right.” The wooden tiger showed an extremely human smile and explained to Xie Shen: “In fact, human consciousness can be forcibly stored in dead objects.”

"It's just that the consciousness that resides in dead things will gradually dissipate over time."

“Like I am now.”

Conversation room.

Xie Shen suddenly discovered.

The hair on the wooden tiger controlled by Gongsun Ji had unknowingly turned back into the texture of wood.

It was no longer lifelike, and even its entire body was shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a short while, the tiger had completely turned back into its original wooden sculpture.

Gongsun Ji, who had collapsed to the ground and fallen into a coma, also woke up at this moment.

He looked at Xie Shen and said, "Daoyou, take another look at the wooden tiger and you will find that it is different from the previous one."

Xie Shen waved his hand and used his magic power to grab the wooden tiger in the air.

He looked at the wood carving thoughtfully and said, "After you possessed it, this tiger wood carving no longer has any magical properties."

"It has completely turned into an ordinary wooden sculpture."

"It's no different from the carvings made by ordinary people on the street."

Xie Shen finally understood.

He continued what he had just said, "So, although these wooden sculptures made by Daoist Fellow Gongsun have the ability to possess people, they are all disposable?"

"Yes." Gongsun Ji nodded and replied, "My original intention in making these wood carvings was to transfer my own vitality into the wood carvings, thereby suppressing my own cultivation."

“But as my carving skills became more and more sophisticated, I gradually discovered that I could actually understand my own path from carving, and use it to break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage.”

"In the words of fellow Taoist, this is the first step in transforming from a divine being to a mortal being."

“This is the first harvest.”

Gongsun Ji continued: "As for the second harvest."

"As you can see, I discovered that the statues I made all have a one-time possession function."

After some conversation.

In order to repay Xie Shen for his teaching and answering his questions, Gongsun Ji took the opportunity to print out the methods of wood carving and the methods of controlling wood carving on a jade slip and gave it to Xie Shen.

——Considering that this magic still has room for growth and has great potential in the future, Gongsun Ji named it "The Method of External Incarnation".

Xie Shen was overjoyed to have obtained the 'method of incarnation' and a lot of information about this world, and immediately said goodbye to Gongsun Ji's residence and left.

...

Before I knew it, more than a month had passed.

During this period, apart from occasionally going to Gongsun Ji's carving shop to drink tea, Xie Shen spent the rest of his time studying the 'method of external incarnation'.

Although Xie Shen deliberately did not dare to practice.

However, affected by the mysterious rules of this world, the body he controlled passively broke through from the early Nascent Soul stage to the middle Nascent Soul stage.

At the same time when his physical body's cultivation level broke through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, Li Xiu had also delivered the modified Lingguang Array to Xie Shen.

He said to Xie Shen through the combat power detector: "Some time ago, I exchanged an ancient book with the 'Three Great Formations' from a cultivator in the Aldebaran star system."

"This ancient book records three different types of formations: 'Spiritual Rock', 'Spiritual Fire', and 'Spiritual Light'."

"Among them, the spiritual fire is for killing, the spiritual light is for binding, and the spiritual rock is for defense."

Li Xiu explained: "After reading the ancient book, I combined the Lingyan Formation recorded in the ancient book with the Lingguang Formation, and then used the scarlet flesh and blood derived from 'Wu' to upgrade the fused formation."

"I once asked Dunbin to test the upgraded fusion formation and obtained the data."

“Even if Deng Bin, who has reached the Spiritual Transformation Stage, uses all his strength, it is difficult to break this formation.”

"Good, good!" Xie Shen said happily after hearing this: "In about ten days or so, the demon seeds I planted will bloom."

"You sent the formation here just in time."

"With this formation, I can rest assured."

"By the way," Li Xiu continued, "Although this formation has strong defensive power, it also consumes a lot of energy."

"It can only be deployed and deployed on a planet with extremely strong supernatural power."

"For example, the planet you are currently on."

"And if it is deployed on a planet like Aldebaran c, which has almost no supernatural power, the formation will not have any effect."

"I see." Xie Shen followed Li Xiu's words and said, "So, you really tailored a formation for me?"

"That's thoughtful, Li Xiu." "In addition." Li Xiu said in the combat power detector: "For the convenience of naming, I have named it the Blood Flesh Rock Light Array based on the origin of the array."

A lot of materials are needed to set up the formation.

Especially an extremely powerful formation like the Blood Flesh Rock Light Array, which can block a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage.

At this time, the benefit of Xie Shen's support from the Earth's forces was reflected - no matter how difficult it was to obtain the materials for the Blood Flesh Rock Light Array, Li Xiu could prepare them all for him, and Xie Shen didn't need to worry about it.

Xie Shen spent a full seven days setting up the Blood, Flesh and Rock Light Array.

period.

When he was on the sixth day of arranging the formation and it was about to be completed, the demon seeds actually sprouted ahead of time and quickly bloomed into flowers.

On the day of its flowering, a black mist so dense that it seemed substantial and could be observed without zirconium metal glasses or combat detectors, emanated from the pistil of the Sky Demon Flower.

Seeing this, Xie Shen hurriedly covered the Demon Flower with a transparent glass cover.

Although doing so cannot completely prevent the black mist in the stamen from leaking out, it will more or less slow down the speed of its leakage.

This bought some time for Xie Shen to set up the formation and for the Heavenly Demon Flower to grow.
...

Seven days later.

Relying on the foundation accumulated in the past, the elders of the Tianqing Sect, after running around, finally succeeded in inviting the elders and leaders of the major immortal cultivation sects on Qiuyue Star to come to the Tianqing Sect's mountain gate for a date.

There are many sects participating in this event, and the scale is unprecedented.

Therefore, in order to show their respect, some ancestors in the God Transformation Stage who had used secret methods to suppress their own cultivation and had been hiding in their own sects also dared to come to the Tianqing Sect.

The arrival of these high-level cultivators naturally attracted a large number of Qi-training and foundation-building cultivators, who flocked to the Tianqing Sect's mountain gate to see the grand spectacle.

As more people gathered, some vendors who smelled business opportunities came to the gate of Tianqing Sect with their carts.

They either sell food on the streets, or sell intelligence pills and daily travel expenses.

For a moment, the Tianqing Sect suddenly became extremely lively.

At 4:45 on the 11th hour of the 11th hour, which is around 8:00 p.m.

A group of Jindan Yuanying stage cultivators, as well as a small number of Huashen stage cultivators who used secret methods to suppress their own cultivation, had gathered in the meeting hall.

Lin Xuanjing, the head of Tianqing Sect, said in a clear voice: "Everyone, to be honest, our Tianqing Sect invited you all to come here this time. On the surface, it is for treasure appraisal, but in fact, it is to discuss matters related to the immortal world and ascension."

There was no uproar as expected.

The moment Lin Xuanjing said those words just now, all the cultivators at the scene showed a look of understanding on their faces.

——Obviously, these monks had already guessed the real purpose of the Tianqing Sect holding the event long before they came.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that those ancestors in the Spirit Transformation Stage who have been hiding from the world in various sects would make an exception and come here to attend the banquet.

At this moment.

Seeing Sect Leader Lin Xuanjing speak directly about his true thoughts, everyone present looked at him and waited for his next words.

Lin Xuanjing continued, "Regarding the Immortal Realm, if it were a hundred years ago, many of you would probably still be kept in the dark."

"But now, I believe everyone already knows the consequences of ascending to the fairyland."

"I will say no more at this moment."

——I don’t know why, but whenever there are monks in the lower world discussing matters related to ascension, these people will be targeted by an indescribable sense of terror.

As a result, over time, all the monks came together to form an unspoken consensus.

When talking about the fairy world, it is only necessary to mention it briefly, there is no need to explain it in detail.

Those who understand will naturally understand.

So after hearing what Lin Xuanjing said, all the cultivators looked at each other and nodded to each other.

Lean less.

One of the Yuanying stage cultivators stood up and said, "Since Sect Leader Lin took the initiative to invite us here, he must have a good plan in mind. Regardless of whether the plan is good or bad, Sect Leader Lin, please throw out some ideas and tell us about it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuanjing said frankly: "Everyone, I don't have any good solution to solve the ascension issue."

"The reason why I called everyone here this time is that I think with more people, we can come up with a solution faster by pooling our wisdom."

"after all."

Lin Xuanjing emphasized: "I believe everyone has felt it to some extent."

"In recent years, the cultivation of Jindan and Yuanying stage cultivators like us has been improving at a faster and faster rate."

"If this continues, I'm afraid all of us will not be able to escape the gate to the fairyland, and we will all be sent to the fairyland in the end."

"We have to save ourselves!"

"so."

Lin Xuanjing said to the crowd, "Everyone, please express your opinions. Say whatever comes to your mind. Don't be shy."

"Besides, it doesn't matter if you can't come up with a solution for the time being."

"During this period of time, everyone can live in my Tianqing Sect."

"You can sit and discuss the Dao, exchange your cultivation experiences, or discuss how to suppress your own cultivation. It's up to you whatever you want."

"Until we come up with a perfect solution to the problem."

As the head of the sect, Lin Xuanjing's words were very comprehensive.

Since he has said so much, the monks who came to attend the gathering naturally no longer have any objections.

That night.

The Tianqing Sect held a grand banquet to entertain the guests.

During the banquet, the monks clinked glasses and toasted each other, and both the host and the guests were having a great time.

In this way, nearly half a month passed in a flash.

...

The residence of the inner disciples of Tianqing Sect.

Inside the house where Xie Shen is.

These days, the black mist released by the Demonic Flower has been increasing.

The transparent glass cover used to cover the Heavenly Demon Flower to ensure that the black mist would not leak out had obvious cracks on it.

It seemed like it might break apart at any moment.

Seeing this scene, Xie Shen became anxious.

He once again turned to Li Xiu for help, hoping that he could help upgrade and improve the glass cover to help him overcome this crisis.

Inside the combat power detector.

Li Xiu said to Xie Shen in a calm tone.

"I just took a look at the video you sent back."

"The black mist released by the demon flower in the video is too much."

"Even if I improve the glass cover, it won't be able to contain so much black fog."

"What should we do then?" Xie Shen frowned upon hearing this and said, "I don't know what the people of Tianqing Sect were thinking. They just happened to hold a so-called treasure appraisal conference during the time when the Tianmo Flower bloomed."

"Right now, almost all the high-level cultivators in the entire Qiuyue Star have gathered at the Tianqing Sect's mountain gate."

“So, once the glass cover covering the Heavenly Demon Flower is broken, the black mist will leak out.”

"The consequences would be disastrous."
