From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Jiang Liu looked directly at Mark, but his words seemed to be addressed to more than just Mark.

"What Bai Yuekui said is true. When the life essence is in the spirit seed of the Devouring Beast, it will slowly dissipate. But after wearing the golden headband, it will be firmly locked in it, neither increasing nor decreasing, until you meet the requirements I mentioned. Then it can be taken out without harming you in the slightest. You can even do it yourself."

"In that case, you can also become a temporary soul storage container for Dragonbone Village... Haha, that's just a joke, of course."

"However, as long as you are willing to cultivate, your spiritual seed may become a second world where the dead can temporarily live."

mark:"???"

Are you kidding him?

Chapter 1174 The Tangible Golden Core

In fact, the idea of ​​turning Mark's Spirit Seed into a world that temporarily stores the life essence was not meant to appease Mark's narrative.

This is because the bodies of Devouring Beasts differ from those of humans.

To create an enduring mental landscape, humanity needs to cultivate the Supreme Heaven-Opening Talisman Method, namely the Nine Aperture Talisman Seal. Holding the talisman seal establishes the heaven and earth, condenses a point of spirit, merges it with Qi, stimulates the acupoints throughout the body, creating corresponding rhythms, and constructs a three-dimensional talisman diagram resembling both ape and human, transforming oneself into Pangu, corresponding one-to-one with the human body's landscape, thus creating heaven and earth and establishing an enduring mental landscape.

But what about the Devouring Beasts?

Although it also has internal organs, a primordial spirit, and a brain, its core is the Spirit Seed located in the lower dantian. Within that core, which resembles a ghost-crafted sphere, a multi-dimensional space is naturally created. Essentially, it is a golden elixir that entrusts one's inner world to, which can be used to entrust one's own and others' memories, spirit, soul, etc.

in short.

From the moment of its birth, the Devouring Beast possessed the rudimentary form of a golden core of body and mind.

However, this golden elixir is not an intangible golden elixir like Jiang Liu's, where mind and body are in harmony; rather, it is a tangible golden elixir with a physical form.

Given the existence of a mana ecosystem, the benefits of this type of tangible golden elixir are:

It is relatively easy to open up one's mind.

To cultivate the Supreme Heaven-Opening Talisman Method and open up a lasting mental landscape, one must understand all the structures of the human body, thereby enabling the spiritual world and the physical structure to be in a unique dynamic balance.

However, in this process, practitioners can not only deepen their understanding of their own body and mind, but also continuously cultivate their character, making their minds more resilient.

Conversely, because the physical elixir is too easy to create, it makes it difficult for practitioners to temper their character during the cultivation process. Even after achieving it, they will still be affected by the Three Corpses, Six Thieves, and Nine Insects, leading to unease in mind and body and making it easy for them to go to extremes.

Why is the golden core of the Devouring Beast shaped like a ghost ball?

The key to using the Golden Elixir to entrust one's spirit, will, soul, or even to open up one's inner world lies in the fact that the Golden Elixir cannot be a physical entity.

That is, a space needs to be constructed inside.

But the Devouring Beast has to construct it itself...

Most of the life essence that devours all living beings in the world can only be used to enhance the intelligence of the Devouring Beast itself.

therefore.

When Mana Ecology "designed" the Devourer Beast, it directly constructed a Spirit Seed within their bodies.

Regardless of the type of Devouring Beast or how different their appearances may be, they all possess a tangible, non-solid spiritual seed within them, which exists in a multi-dimensional space where the spiritual world can reside.

In this way, the Devouring Beasts can also connect to the heavens, reaching the "heavens" of the Mana ecosystem—

As long as they are within the Mana ecosystem, regardless of their strength, as long as the Spirit Seed is not completely shattered, the Devouring Beast is an immortal creature. Even if its head is cut off and its internal organs are removed, it can regenerate quickly.

From a scientific perspective, this can be explained by the fact that the special biomagnetic field of the Mana Flower can influence the biomagnetic field of the Devouring Beast itself through the medium of the Spirit Seed, thereby completing rapid repair.

In the definition of Jiangliu, a magnetic field that covers the world on a large scale and forms its own cycle is also one of the manifestations of "Qi Ju".

A shape resembling a sphere is the best structure for connecting with the outside world.

Um···

The best structure achievable by human hands.

The Mana ecosystem created by higher-dimensional deities—

It can also be defined as a man-made creation.

It's not that He couldn't create a golden elixir that truly aligns with nature, but rather that if He were to create such an elixir, His pursuit would not be to possess the Earth, but rather to achieve harmony between humanity and nature.

The concept of harmony between humanity and nature has no negative impact on Earth's native practitioners; on the contrary, it is beneficial. As long as they can withstand the influence of Earth's magnetic field, they can enhance their spiritual essence and gain a deeper understanding of nature.

However, for higher-dimensional deities, without a three-dimensional physical body as a vessel for their souls, daring to walk the path of "unity of heaven and man" means waiting for their souls to be merged and obliterated by the Earth's own magnetic field and energy field, so that everything about them becomes a gift given to the native intelligent beings (i.e., humans) during the Earth's autonomous evolution process.

Even if He doesn't personally intervene, but instead creates spiritual seeds that conform to the natural laws of Earth for His own creations, the Devouring Beasts, then once these Devouring Beasts truly possess intelligence and discover the ability to connect with Earth's nature, most of them will defect to Earth.

Without him.

Even at this stage, Earth's magnetic field is much stronger than the biomagnetic field of the Mana ecosystem. Therefore, the closer the Golden Core is to nature, the more "close" the Devouring Beasts will be to Earth, thus rebelling against their true creator.

Creating a Spirit Seed similar to a Ghostly Crafting Ball for all Devouring Beasts is different; even if unexpected events occur, such as:

The loss of the cranial beacon prevented Him from "logging in" in his avatar form. Consequently, a small number of Devouring Beasts evolved into avatar-level Devouring Beasts under the mechanisms already designed by the Mana ecosystem, possessing their own unique consciousness...

In the struggle between humans and the Mana ecosystem, whether these avatar-level Devouring Beasts with independent consciousness remain neutral or choose to help humans, their biomagnetic field will still be connected to the Mana ecosystem, prompting the Mana ecosystem to evolve and take over Earth.

"In other words, Mark, your Spirit Seed is the prototype of a Golden Core! And it's even the prototype of a Heaven-Reaching Golden Core!"

My golden headband can ensure that you are not affected by the will of the Mana ecosystem, but you can still use the convenience of the Mana ecosystem to fight.

In other words, while your physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people within Dragonbone Village—even Boss Bai can't match you—you will still feel tired and exhausted. However, once you leave Dragonbone Village, your stamina will be limitless. The only thing you need to be careful about is whether your body can withstand the strain of high-intensity combat.

Seeing Mark's disappointment, Jiang Liu comforted him, "Besides, I've already solved the problem of Ran Bing's life essence dissipating in your spiritual seed. In the future, as long as you build a life essence operation system that is unique to you, sink into the inner landscape, that is, let your self-awareness enter the multi-dimensional spiritual space inside the spiritual seed and transform it into a dreamlike paradise, it's not impossible to have nightly revelry with Ran Bing."

Mark stared, bewildered.

Xia Dou: "???"

Bai Yuekui: "..."

Summer is coming: "May I visit Mark's spiritual paradise sometime in the future?"

Summer is here!

Now able to speak and move, Leila grabbed Xia Tianlai's ear with one hand, brought her mouth close to his ear, and called his name word by word, "Don't think I don't know, you often watch 'adult movies' in your room without headphones, don't you know how loud they are?"

In an instant.

Xia Tianlai turned pale and knelt down with a thud, crying out, "Wife, I was wrong, I'll never watch it again!"

"There will be a next time?"

Leila grabbed Xia Tianlai by the ear and dragged him to the backyard, followed by Xia Tianlai's exaggerated scream—

Obvious.

How could Leila, who had only recently regained her mobility, have the strength to teach Summer a lesson?

It's just a devoted husband going along with his wife's wishes...

Chapter 1175 When will Mark be told the truth?

"How should I cultivate myself?"

Mark composed himself and asked Jiang Liu.

"Your mind is too tense. You need to relax first. Learn to control your breathing. While exercising, also do more chores in the village, such as doing morning exercises with the elderly in the residential area, planting rice seedlings on the farm, or practicing Tai Chi with Lao Xia."

Jiang Liu gave some examples.

"What's the use of these?"

Mark frowned, finding it absurd and wondering if Jiang Liu was joking.

Can this be called exercise?

"Didn't I tell you? I wanted you to relax."

Jiang Liu said again, "Right now you are too tense to start cultivating. You should first get a firm grasp on the power of this body. If you can fully integrate and utilize your current power, then in close-quarters combat, even Grandma Bai will have to temporarily give way."

A # appeared on Bai Yuekui's forehead. She could no longer hold back, and her calm tone was tinged with anger: "Can you please stop calling me 'Grandma Bai'?"

"Okay, Grandma Bai! No problem, Grandma Bai!"

Jiang Liu agreed in a very serious tone.

In a short time.

Apart from Bai Yuekui, whose face was gloomy, the others, including Xia Dou, Mark, and Xia Tianlai and Leila, who happened to be returning from the backyard and witnessed the scene, were all present.

"Whatever!"

Taking a deep breath, Bai Yuekui tried to calm himself down and turned to leave. "Laila's situation can't be kept secret from the villagers."

I need to inform someone else that the research progress on the Life Iteration System has advanced further due to 'Qi Refining,' but 'Resurrection'...

Life is not a game, and that doesn't mean death is insignificant, just as you said—"

Bai Yuekui glanced back at Jiang Liu, "Human thought has not yet evolved to the point of treating the world as a game, and humans cannot truly treat life as a game."

"Wait, Mr. Bai."

Jiang Liu called out to her.

"what's up?"

Bai Yuekui stopped.

"Speaking of which, if I were to teach you the Way of Qi Refining, wouldn't that count as investing my expertise? For a period of time afterward, you'll definitely need to master the circulation of Qi and conduct further research with me... In terms of cultivation, wouldn't you consider this an 'industrial revolution' for Dragon Bone Village? So, shouldn't you call me Boss Jiang?"

Jiang Liu asked this question.

"No problem, Mr. Jiang."

Without hesitation, Bai Yuekui responded to Jiang Liu's question with concrete actions.

That's how it is.

Jiang Liu became the backbone of Longgu Village.

Even without this, the core members of Dragon Bone Village already knew Jiang Liu's approximate abilities. If he wanted to, he could know all the secrets of Dragon Bone Village, and even their thoughts and the deepest memories of their souls.

External forces could not restrain him—

Judging solely by his personal morality.

"So where do I live?"

“Live with me.”
