From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

With the Red Maiden possessing the Mind Monkey and the White Moon Lord adding the Will Horse, the water and fire elements work together to help Jiang Liu sort out the messages of the Divine Seal.

More importantly:

The Red Maiden has cultivated the "Qi Body Source Flow" taught by Jiang Liu, and has already refined a Qi seed, which is now planted in her lower dantian!

Although it has not yet taken root and sprouted, it can still help her stabilize her nine orifices and eight meridians. Moreover, the technique she cultivates, Thousand-Hand Guanyin, combines the magic of reversing the eight directions, reversing the nine layers of life, and the Moon Gate. Her sensitivity to magnetic fields is much more acute than Zhang Zhiwei's.

What about Bai Yuekui?

The technique is a light-dynamic force field, which is both a particle and a wave, and is an electromagnetic field. It is the same type as the electromagnetic field spontaneously released by the Divine Seal, only with a different frequency.

With her joining, perhaps Jiang Liu can more perfectly analyze the runes on the divine seal, and use that to guide ASH's consciousness...

However, to ensure absolute safety, Jiang Liu transformed into a sixteen-foot-tall figure, seated cross-legged, holding a pill-shaped elixir in his hand, his eyes blooming like lotus blossoms, becoming eyes of wisdom. Because he was beside the divine seal, influenced by the atomic-level aura, he was in a state of obscurity, and the strange phenomenon of swirling stars and rivers appeared and disappeared...

Then, golden light appeared from the pupils, spreading across the eyes and dyeing the lotus with a layer of brilliant gold. Only then could one fully see through the electron trajectory and atomic nucleus rotation frequency within the atomic structure of the divine seal.

Jiang Liu's sixteen-foot-tall form surprised Elisa and Vincent, but under the illumination of that invisible and colorless radiance, their primordial energy, which had been agitated by the electromagnetic field of the divine seal, stabilized, and their minds gained unparalleled tranquility.

Is this a Buddha?

Elisa couldn't help but ask Mark.

Mark thought for a moment and then gave his answer: "Perhaps."

"Om!"

Jiang Liu let out a soft shout, like a lion's roar or a thunderous sound, but it only resonated in the minds and bodies of Hong Guniang and Bai Yuekui. The two felt a momentary daze and then arrived in another world.

The place was pitch black, with the only three sources of light being the river, the Red Maiden, and the White Moon King. The light from the Ancestral Treasure Lotus Lamp was round and emitted a golden glow.

"here it is?"

Bai Yuekui asked aloud.

"A parallel dimension to the spaceship's space, a space that exists based on electromagnetic fields, also allows mental consciousness to roam... But it must be said that this space created by the divine seal is very similar to the Buddhist concept of 'ignorance'."

With a word of explanation and a comment, Jiang Liu made a gesture, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang appeared in his hand. The golden hoops at both ends converged at one end, transforming into the shape of a tin staff. The staff head was surrounded by white dragons and green dragons, forming a lotus shape, with a lamp on top, and a point of sincere spiritual light appeared.

There are also eight rings hanging, each containing a vivid scene.

The inner diameter of the ring is marked with a diagram showing the temperature and humidity, and the seasons change and the stars shift.

One ring features a scene of a tree of life, with gears turning and life proceeding in an orderly fashion;

One ring has the momentum of transformation of Kun fish and Peng bird, with the sea air flowing and the fish and bird as one;

One ring contains a scorpion-shaped oasis, called Serket, teeming with life;

One ring contains koi and a real dragon; the dragon enters the water and transforms into a fish, and the fish emerges from the water and transforms into a dragon.

One ring features nine lotus flowers, slowly blooming, embodying the wisdom of Prajna.

One ring features the phoenix's rebirth from the ashes, the peacock's five-element cycle, and the roc's yin-yang rotation, each with its own profound and extraordinary mysteries;

One ring features the Ancestral Dragon, proudly emerging from the snow, standing tall and upright.

These eight rings perfectly confirm the eighth of the nine major energy formations recorded in the Hetu Luoshu, and also confirm the effectiveness of Jiang Liu's integration of these eight major energy formations into his own cultivation.

As for the Golden Core Saint Embryo Qi Formation—

This is to testify to the Earth-Moon system and the long river of time, constantly testing Jiang Liu's cultivation, not counting it.

Therefore, the staff formed by the Ruyi Jingu Bang only has eight rings.

It's only one ring less than the nine-ringed tin staff...

Chapter 1276 Death Space

Seeing Jiang Liu holding an eight-ringed staff, Bai Yuekui tried to imitate him, making a grasping motion in the air, but he didn't actually grasp anything.

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Liu suppressed a laugh, asking the question he already knew the answer to.

"How come you're the only one who can conjure weapons?" Bai Yuekui asked humbly.

"This is not a dream, Grandma Bai. You can't have your wishes fulfilled. When this Ruyi Jingu Bang was still a steel rod, it protected me all the way through my cultivation. Now it can even coexist with me as one. Even in its conscious state, it can be used by me."

If we were to rank magical artifacts, Jiang Liu's Ruyi Jingu Bang would undoubtedly be classified as a "divine treasure."

Afterwards, Jiang Liu silently recited the Heart Sutra, and his sincere spiritual light shone brightly, illuminating the boundless darkness and revealing the divine seal to everyone.

Unlike the divine seal that beats like a heart in real space, in this space that relies on electromagnetic fields, the divine seal, although still having a double helix structure similar to genes, is only composed of indescribable patterns.

But these patterns seem to be building in an orderly manner at an extremely slow pace, revealing a sense of life emerging from death and the unity of all.

"Fortunately, this thing itself has no consciousness."

Jiang Liu sighed again. He stretched out his eight-ringed staff, and the white dragon and green dragon at the center of the staff head tumbled and danced. They actively drew the talisman, splitting it in two, each copying half of the information and imprinting it on itself. As they rotated, they connected head to tail, and the ninth ring appeared. It reflected the scene of all living things multiplying, scattering and gathering, gathering and scattering again.

At this point, Jiang Liu established a direct connection with the Divine Seal. Hong Guniang and Bai Yuekui were empowered by Jiang Liu's Mind Monkey and Will Horse respectively, and coexisted with Jiang Liu's consciousness in this peculiar electromagnetic field space. They also gained some insight into the wisdom and truth of "all things returning to oneness".

Subsequently, both unconsciously moved closer to the river, as if to embody the profound truth they had come to understand...

outside world.

Bai Yuekui's physical body released a dynamic force field, while Hong Guniang's physical body unleashed a human magnetic field. The two spontaneously merged, enveloping the three of them along with the divine seal, making it difficult for the special electromagnetic field within to be released outwards. The resulting external scene was a black force field formed within the area of ​​the divine seal.

Neither the naked eye nor the mental power can reveal what exactly happened.

"The light spots are fine, but we can't make contact."

Lu Jin was temporarily relieved and comforted Mark, who was encountering this kind of thing for the first time, saying, "Maybe Brother Jiang accidentally triggered some kind of countermeasure mechanism of the divine seal."

"But then again, did Jiang Liu isolate the [darkness] released by the divine seal? I feel much lighter now."

Zhang Zhiwei seemed to be deep in thought.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin tentatively used his mental energy to scan and found that the invisible, colorless, and intangible [darkness] had indeed dissipated. He exclaimed in surprise, "It really is!"

"I don't quite understand what you mean by darkness, but does this mean that the 'death space' of the Divine Seal has also been isolated?"

Elisa's body began to tremble.

"Dead Space?"

Mark inquired about the situation.

"You should have learned about Ta Frantis from that Ash, right? About the Blood Moon's arrival," Vincent asked.

"We have indeed learned some things, but we cannot guarantee that ASH is not deceiving us."

Zhang Zhiwei gestured, indicating that if the two knew more inside information, they could tell them.

Elisa was certainly not stingy.

The so-called "death space" does not refer to the "darkness" perceived by Jiang Liu and others, but rather to a restriction on the corpse variant.

Corpse variants have only two instincts.

First, hunting live animals.

If we define it more specifically, based on Jiang Liu's previous analysis, it means hunting living beings with independent individual consciousness, transforming the individual into a "collective".

Secondly, aggregation.

According to Elisa and Vincent, once the number of necromancy reaches a certain level, it will instinctively gather around the divine seal and undergo further aggregation, thus forming the "Blood Moon," a peculiar monster based on flesh and rock layers, similar to bacteria or cancer cells, capable of ignoring gravity and traversing the vacuum of space.

However, they also discovered that the corpse variants would lose their activity after approaching the divine seal within a certain range—

This is the dead space.

Commander Isaac Clark used this characteristic to lure the other mutated corpses to the warehouse where the Divine Seal was located.

"So, the divine seal is to prevent the corpse variants from aggregating prematurely when there aren't enough of them, which would cause the so-called 'blood moon' to fail to be born."

At this point, Lu Jin glanced back at the decaying tissue on the wall, lost in thought, "Just like the water clocks in some temples, they are built with bamboo pipes, and water flows into bamboo ladles. Once a certain amount is accumulated, the bamboo ladle will turn over and pour the water into a pool. It can both store water and tell time by sound."

The blood moon descends...

In terms of its function alone, Lu Jin saw little difference from other water clocks, except that one relied on gravity and the other utilized a magnetic field.

That's it.

Nourishes—

At this moment, the decaying matter shrank and condensed, solidifying in a corner of the warehouse as if it were about to coalesce into a shape. Judging by its height, it was at least forty meters high, almost touching the ceiling of the warehouse.

"Are they about to coalesce into a blood moon?"

Elisa felt that her worst fears had come true.

Lu Jin took out a Molotov cocktail from the Ghost Craft Sphere, lit a fire, and threw it directly at the huge writhing chunk of flesh. With a "crack," the cocktail shattered, fuel covered part of the chunk of flesh, and flames spread.

Should we wait until that thing coalesces and takes shape before eliminating it?

Reality is not like a movie!

Zhang Zhiwei and Mark exchanged a glance, then stepped forward with their flamethrowers, pulled the triggers, and the sparks at the nozzles ignited the emitted gas. Blue flames surged out, scorching the huge chunk of meat and giving off an indescribable aroma.

Scorched by the flames, the meat gradually stopped wriggling, and the surface of the meat was charred black, resembling a piece of cured meat that had been stored for decades.

"His!"

However, the charred "preserved meat" suddenly broke open, and a dark shadow emerged from it, biting at Zhang Zhiwei.

The latter chuckled, discarded the flamethrower, grabbed a large gas cylinder from his back, and forcefully shoved it into the oncoming fangs. He then unleashed a burst of force, sending the dark figure flying and crashing into the wall.

"mark!"

"understand!"

Mark immediately opened the flamethrower valve to its maximum, and a blue flame surged out, more than ten meters long, hitting the gas barrel in the monster's mouth directly.

boom!

The instant the gas cylinder exploded, Mark immediately turned around, spread his arms, and stood in front of Elisa and Vincent to prevent them from being hit by the splashes.

When the firelight died down, everyone could finally see the monster's true form: it resembled a black centipede, about twenty meters long. Its lower body was covered with dense, irregular tentacles, while its upper body stood erect, like a cobra. On its chest were armor-like structures resembling human ribs, and on its head, like a helmet, grew a pair of Y-shaped horns, making it look like a twisted dragon—
