Cyber ​​Sword Immortal Iron Rain

"What will we see this time?"

Fang Bailu felt a little uneasy. He didn't know whether the vision he had seen last time was a coincidence.

He let out a long breath, and the dark bedroom in front of him began to flash:

It was like the TV screen he watched as a child, with bright lines and interference due to mixed signals, and colorful blocks of color invading his eyes from the edge of his vision.

brush--

The "TV" was turned off, and everything in sight slowly faded away and was gradually covered by darkness.

Fang Bailu's muscles tightened, and his whole body was stretched straight:

He entered into a state of meditation.

Chapter 133 Stars (Part )

In the vastness, Fang Bailu could see, hear, and touch nothing.

This was not darkness without light, but another feeling. For the emptiness he felt at this moment, he had a wonderful metaphor in his mind:

If you open one eye and close the other... what you see with the closed eye is "nothing": this means that the visualization machine is being activated and no sensory signals have been sent yet.

Fang Bailu was floating in the void, but he had no fear or tension in his heart. The external elixir that was dripping into his body suppressed his anxiety.

Otherwise, this state of waiting without any sense of time and space is enough to harm one's mental health - this is also the importance of "taking medicine" during practice.

……

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there were brilliant and strong words appearing:

——Linking in progress——

——Welcome to use "Lingbao Bifa" (Ver.1.13)! ——

The grand title of the Alchemy Method is far-reaching, extending infinitely upwards and downwards, left and right; yet it can be clearly read by Fang Bailu.

It's a subtle feeling: one's vision is no longer limited to the 188-degree horizontal viewing angle, but spreads outward wider and farther.

Compared to when he had a physical body, he could see everything in front of and behind him.

"Hmm... It's different from last time. This is the normal way of visualization, right?"

Fang Bailu felt both happy that his visualization was successful and a little disappointed:

It seems that we will not be able to get more details about the "future" from the "shop owner" this time.

Inject the first level of alchemy!

Fang Bailu shouted silently: the rules of activities in reality do not apply here; but he found it difficult to break away from the behavioral habits of his human body, and still had to use his imaginary mouth and tongue to speak.

The visualization machine captured his thoughts and the words began to change.

——Begin to inject the elixir——

——First level: matching yin and yang——

Countless words painted in ink emerged from the darkness:

"The True Secret says: The Dao of Heaven and Earth is acquired by one person, who receives his form from his parents, and the form gives birth to another form, which makes him further away from the Dao. After the fetal primordial energy is sufficient, the six desires and seven emotions consume the primordial Yang and lose the true Qi..."

They filled the fields, floating and spinning around Fang Bailu, as if imparting some unknown secret to the seeker.

But Fang Bailu knew that these original texts derived from the ancient alchemy classics were actually meaningless to the practice of the new alchemy: they were just background beautification when the program was injected, providing users with a more immersive experience.

The beautiful calligraphy gradually faded away, and a huge progress bar appeared. Simple numbers were dotted on it:

——1%——

"here we go."

After the first three levels of the alchemy method have been analyzed, the "foundation building" is completed. Although this step can be completed with an injector alone, Fang Bailu heard that it is much faster to use a visualization machine.

Whether it was the "great catastrophe" mentioned by Mr. Kui or other imminent problems, he had to race against time.

The progress bar is slowly moving forward...

-50% -

-90% -

-100% -

-Congratulations!-

- "Matching Yin and Yang" has been injected-

I don't know how much time has passed in reality, but judging from Fang Bailu's still calm and stable state of mind, the external elixir is still taking effect:

This means that apart from the visualization, only less than a few hours of time should have passed.

Now, the first level of "Lingbao Bifa" has been injected: this is the beginning of the path of cultivation.

"Finally, I've taken this path..."

Fang Bailu suddenly felt a little emotional: No matter what, the benefits of practicing Qi are always -

Stab it!

Suddenly, something strange happened.

Just like the screen of a movie being shown was torn open, the progress bar and the word "congratulations" that had reached the top were all split vertically from the midpoint and disappeared into nothingness.

Countless bright white points of light poured out from the crack that spanned the sky and the earth, covering the entire visualization space.

Against the pure black background, countless pale white "light bulbs" are neatly arranged, flickering on and off.

It looked like the flickering diodes on some kind of dashboard, or like a dark tablecloth spread out with rice grains arranged precisely on it.

"What's going on? Is this a delusion?"

Perhaps because everything went so smoothly, Fang Bailu felt relieved about this sudden situation, thinking it was "expected".

If the redundant data in the alchemy method is not cleared in time, it will be mixed with one's own deep consciousness and produce "delusions".

They will be produced in deep meditation - this is also the reason why Anbennola had to protect him when he was "building the foundation" before.

However, the delusion will only be triggered when the first three levels of the elixir method have been injected and the "foundation building" is completed - and Fang Bailu has only injected the first level.

There seemed to be whispers and human voices, floating out from each "light bulb" and filling the universe.

Fang Bailu waited quietly for a moment. He felt no discomfort or pain, and everything was normal.

“It’s not a delusion.”

He knew that this was not an imaginary thing: he was in a state of visualization and his nerve activity was suppressed by the external elixir, so he would not have any hallucinations at all.

Fang Bailu observed more carefully, trying to catch some clues——

and many more!

The dots of light flickered like blinking eyes, and against the dark background they looked like...

"Star!"

This association made Fang Bailu suddenly realize that these were the "stars" that Anbennola mentioned that one would encounter in the visualization.

But this doesn't look like the faint light reflected from the planets in space, traveling through countless light years and projected onto the retina.

Each pale point of light kept a regular distance from other similar ones. Although there were some similarities, anyone who had seen the starry sky with their own eyes would not use this nickname to refer to the current situation.

"unless……"

Fang Bailu had no sense of touch and could not feel the existence of his body at this time, but he inexplicably felt his heart tightening:

Unless Anbenola had never really seen the "starry sky" in the sky - endless rainstorms and thunderclouds shrouded Kuala Lumpur, and the sky above the wasteland was also covered by the flames and advertisements emitted by the city.

No one can see those sparse flying stars that were difficult to observe with the naked eye in their "previous life".

As for whether images or other records exist, Fang Bailu doesn't even know - in the past three years, he has never seen anyone use space-related materials in advertisements or publicity. In this era... who has the leisure to look up and look far away, to pursue a trace of fireworks from the other side of the universe that have long dissipated for countless years?

He was now certain that the so-called "stars" in the visualization machine were nothing but Anbenola's misunderstanding - those flickering white spots were just somewhat similar to the light reflected from the huge spheres billions of kilometers away.

"What about extraterrestrial colonies? What about interstellar travel? Didn't Shou Niang tell An Bennola that she was a 'star official'?"

Fang Bailu felt that a corner of the world that had gradually become clear was once again shrouded in fog.

"What are these lights...?"

Fang Bailu stared at the flickering lights that filled his entire field of vision, at a loss as to what to do.

After hesitating for a moment, he raised an imaginary arm to touch the "star" closest to him.

In any case, curiosity overwhelmed consideration for one's own safety——

Snapped!

Like the sound of a soap bubble bursting, countless pieces of information rushed into Fang Bailu's mind:

……

"The eleventh visualization: "The fifth level of "Lingbao Bifa": Flying Golden Crystals Behind the Elbow" analysis is completed, and the user's redundant data is cleared."

First there's some kind of dry monologue, like an introduction.

Fang Bailu saw his legs: they were separated from his body and formed strange shapes in the pool of blood. He raised his head, and the raindrops hit his face directly, bitter and astringent.

There was an infinite amount of neon light rising from the horizon, shining through the rain and fog onto the person in front of Fang Bailu.

She turned her back to him and struck the two swords in her hands together, sparks flying:

"Merciful and compassionate Erni Bodhisattva! Save all sufferings and troubles--"

In the “Jade Bamboo Shoot Tip”, the golden and red long sword said so.

"Cut! Hack! Kill! Chop! Hack! Kill!"

The muscular right hand was stretched straight, and the sharp blade in the palm roared loudly.

Fang Bailu heard the deafening shouts from the mountains and the clanging of weapons; all of this came from the hilt of the knife held by the girl.

……

“The third contemplation: nothing is gained.”

My hands felt solid, cold and heavy.

Fang Bailu was shaking the smooth mask, the mirrored material reflecting his face with bulging veins and spit flying:

"There's a visualization machine right here! Open an altar to summon the spirit! Let her come out and explain herself!"

His knees were hurt by the coiled wires, and the Taoist bun on top of the mask fell apart with his rough movements.

"... Got it. I'll do the trick."

A sound like ice flakes colliding came from beside him: it came from Anbennola who took off his mask.

……

Two scattered scenes and a dull narration were all wrapped up in that pale spot of light.

Just now he was like a passer-by living in the body, unable to control his movements and could only watch.

But the feeling was extremely real, no different from what Fang Bailu saw and felt in reality.

Fang Bailu raised his "hand" again, trying to touch the light spot farther away - but he could not touch anything.

"What just happened was just an illusion? No, it wasn't..."

Perhaps because his body was being maintained by an external elixir to keep the hormones in his brain stable, Fang Bailu was able to easily suppress the confusion and anxiety in his heart:

It’s just like the “hardware store” I walked into during my first visualization…

"Those...are probably sensory signals from the future."

He felt no fear nor surprise; he just slowly searched for what he remembered and felt.

The information I heard and saw before is being reorganized, and I am sorting out my thoughts in combination with everything that just happened.

……

Why can only the elixir method in the "foundation building" stage be injected, and afterwards it must be analyzed and improved through visualization?

“Everyone’s path is different.”
