Nearly 90% of the students in Taixue College came to pay tribute to Master Wuxu.
His disciples Ling Xiaoyao and Zhong Xu both expressed their determination to carry on their master's will and drive all the evil spirits out of the Great Zhou.
There are also rumors that the Holy Maiden of Chengtian Prefecture fell seriously ill after this and did not get better for a long time.
******
Anle knew nothing about what was happening in the outside world.
Now he was in pure darkness.
There is no light or air here, as if even the concepts of time and space do not exist, there is only a ball of still darkness.
In this environment, Anle's thinking became extremely slow, as if he was trapped in a cage, unable to break free.
However, Anle is not unfamiliar with this feeling!
When he was trapped in the aftermath of the void infection and was in the state of [Ten Grounds of Immovability], his situation was similar to his current situation.
"I'm not... dead yet..."
As Anle concentrated his mind, his thoughts gradually became clearer, and he began to think slowly: "Is this... the world in the Zhenyang Stone?"
"No, maybe... it's the world... in that meteorite."
He tried to sense external objects, but all he could sense, whether it was his five senses or his spiritual consciousness, was darkness.
If the spiritual consciousness extends further outward, it will be like falling into the abyss, severing the connection with him.
"Those eyes...why did you lock me up here?"
Anle had previously guessed that there was actually another world hidden in the meteorite, but he had never been able to find a way to enter it. But now, he came here because of the dark eyes.
Anle has many questions about this mysterious space, but now, no one can answer his doubts, so he can only explore it slowly.
Anle calmed down and felt his own state, and found that his body seemed to be in a state of stillness.
Yes, stillness.
Blood circulation, breathing through the mouth and nose, heart beating... these physiological activities that are indispensable to ordinary people have completely stopped in this physical body.
According to common sense, Anle should have died soon, but this did not happen. His vitality seemed to be still in his body, neither expanding nor dissipating.
"This state is like... like..."
Anle thought hard and finally came up with a suitable description: "Frozen in a slice of time."
His body seemed to have stopped along with time!
But strangely, Anle's mind is still functioning.
Anle thought to himself: "If this state continues, wouldn't it be another kind of eternal life?"
This kind of eternal life, however, did not make him feel the slightest bit of joy. Instead, he felt horror and fear.
If we were to remain frozen in this moment, our thoughts would be like being trapped in the cage of this physical body, being tortured by loneliness forever.
This kind of eternal life will definitely drive people crazy!
Anle stopped thinking about the distant future for the time being and continued to examine his own situation.
The spiritual power in the Dantian and meridians was almost motionless, not to mention the Qi and blood. The secret power of the eight divine treasures was flowing at an extremely slow speed, so slow that it was hardly noticeable. If Anle had not been extremely patient, he would probably have ignored it!
What surprised Anle was that among the many secret powers, there was actually one that could still be activated normally.
That is... the power of God!
Chapter 319
In this still, dark space, the many secret powers in Anle's body seemed to have fallen silent along with his flesh, and could only flow at an extremely slow speed.
But in Anle's Dantian, within the body of the Nascent Soul figure, the dark grey divine power was still quite active and was wandering around restlessly.
Among all the secret powers, it stands out.
"The power of divine evil is related to the gods. Could it be that this is the reason why it can continue to operate in this space?"
Anle guessed in his heart, and began to carefully try to control the divine power, attempting to let the Nascent Soul figure activate the Hunyuan Xiantian Gong to break this static state.
The Nascent Soul was originally a part of Anle and could be activated at will. However, in this space, he was separated from the Nascent Soul by an invisible and intangible membrane, and his reaction was slowed down countless times.
Fortunately, what Anle has the most right now is time.
I don’t know how long it took, but the Yuanying figure’s eyelids finally twitched slightly.
After a long time, he began to breathe very gently.
However, this process was extremely not smooth.
Because once the divine evil power is converted into qi and blood, and spiritual power, it will become stagnant and slow, and qi and blood, and spiritual power can no longer be converted into divine evil power. Over time, the only living spring left in Anle's body will completely turn into stagnant water.
Realizing this, Anle immediately stopped practicing Hunyuan Xiantian Gong.
The current situation has undoubtedly reached a deadlock again.
Anle opened the deduction panel and tried to break the impasse with the help of deduction, but even though he had silently counted for more than a day, the number of deductions on the panel did not refresh.
This once again confirmed his guess that the time here was in a state of near stillness, so even the number of deductions could not be refreshed.
After making some more attempts, Anle couldn't help feeling a little heavy.
If he were really trapped in this slice of time, unable to escape forever, even he would probably not be able to endure this long loneliness.
"Calm down! There must be a way out!"
Anle comforted himself in his heart that it was a time like this, the more he couldn't lose his composure, otherwise he would be driven crazy sooner.
"You have to find something to do, or I won't be able to bear it."
After calming down, Anle found a way to kill time.
Now, the only things he could use were his spiritual consciousness and divine power. The path of divine power was basically blocked, and his spiritual consciousness could not observe external objects. Anle simply used his spiritual consciousness to examine his own body.
What was different from before was that this time Anle observed extremely carefully, almost analyzing the body from the smallest level.
From the distribution of muscle groups, heart rate, bone texture, organ structure, nerve density, and muscle fiber thickness...
At first, Anle began to observe his body just to kill time, but as time went by, he felt an indescribable charm from these structures. The human body is both rough and delicate. Compared with mathematics, it does not have the ultimate precision and symmetry, but it has a natural beauty.
In particular, Anle's body had been approaching perfection through repeated deductions and cultivation, so much so that when observing it carefully, Anle couldn't help but admire it inwardly.
"This body is so perfect, I am worthy of it."
Gradually, through such extremely patient and meticulous scrutiny, Anle gained some new insights into his own body.
In the past, he only knew how to mobilize his body, but he didn't know how the muscles, nerves, fascia... worked behind each movement.
Anle suddenly remembered what Gu Shanshan had said to him: "Use spirit to transform blood, and use blood to hide spirit." Only by infiltrating spiritual consciousness into every corner of the body can one reach the state where a drop of blood can bring one back to life.
Anle sighed in his heart: "I boast that I have deduced the human body countless times, but I have only scratched the surface of the mysteries of the human body."
He suddenly had a realization that "today I finally know who I am".
Only in this static space can Anle have the patience and time to observe himself, which can be considered a blessing in disguise.
Through repeated observation, the connection between Anle's spiritual consciousness and physical body became closer and closer. It seemed that there were many tiny imprints existing deep in the muscles, bones, and internal organs, which brought his control over the physical body to a higher level.
However, perhaps because his body was still in a state of stillness, Anle felt that he was still a step away from fully controlling himself.
Once the stillness is released, all the accumulated energy will burst forth and break through instantly!
"But the problem is, I can't get out of this state..."
Anle sighed quietly in his heart. He didn't know how much time it took just to comprehend the physical body. Even at this moment, his perception of time was a little fuzzy.
"If this continues, I'll lose track of time."
So, Anle began to count silently in his mind: "One, two, three..."
Although this method is simple, it is effective.
At the same time, Anle focused his spiritual consciousness on the spiritual power in his meridians. After carefully observing the physical body, he decided to comprehend the several kinds of secret power in his body.
As a secret power that he had come into contact with since the beginning of his practice, Anle was naturally not unfamiliar with spiritual power, but he rarely explored the essence of spiritual power in depth.
And in this environment completely isolated from the outside world, Anle was able to calm down and feel the characteristics of spiritual power.
In the spiritual consciousness, spiritual power is composed of countless tiny particles, like points of light, which turn into liquid when condensed together.
Different from the spiritual energy that overflows between heaven and earth, the spiritual power refined and absorbed by the cultivators has actually become a part of the cultivator's body, bearing the cultivator's unique mark.
This is also the reason why cultivators are often unable to directly absorb the spiritual power from other people's bodies and use it for their own benefit.
Of course, some evil techniques are excluded.
Sensing the spiritual power carefully, Anle felt that it was warm, like a pool of warm spring water. They could also transform into a turbulent form like a raging wave at any time and cast powerful spells.
"Spiritual power has a strong plasticity."
An Le thought to himself, and then he comprehended the Qi and blood, the secret power of the spirit, and the power of the gods.
The power of Qi and blood is hot and violent, and comes from the physical body. The stronger the physical body, the stronger the Qi and blood will naturally be.
The secret power of the divine treasure comes from the divine treasure opened up in the human body. Each divine treasure has different characteristics, but they are all vivid and surging, as if endless. Like qi and blood, it is also a force to explore the potential of the human body, but it is more complex and the degree of exploration is deeper.
As for the divine evil power, its texture is sticky and it exudes an ominous aura at all times.
But if you sense it more carefully, you can realize that underneath this ominous feeling, there is an extremely extraordinary aura, high above, suppressing any kind of secret power in An Le's body.
Strictly speaking, this special secret power belongs to Anle himself, but it can be plundered and absorbed from external objects.
It is a polluted divinity that can neither be purified nor transformed back into pure divinity, nor is it compatible with other powers possessed by people.
"You are neither human nor able to become a god."
"Feared by mortals and despised by gods, it is called... evil."
“It means something that shouldn’t exist in this world.”
Anle couldn't help but recall Taoist Kong's description of the evil spirit, and felt deeply touched.
"So, is there a power that can unify all these kinds of secret powers?"
Anle's Hunyuan innate function transforms Qi and blood, spiritual power and divine power into each other, and he practices the three kinds of secret power at the same time while breathing. However, he encountered obstacles when incorporating the Shenzang secret power into this system.
An Le had a vague feeling that these secret powers had something in common. If he could find this commonality, perhaps he could make them like the divine power, not bound by this static space.
So, Anle began his long journey of contemplation.
He almost completely immersed his mind in the numerous secret powers, trying to observe the smallest changes and fluctuations.
The darkness around him, the current situation of the Great Zhou, the people in the Great Wilderness in the future... all were forgotten by Anle. In his mind, only these kinds of secret forces were left entangled with each other. He kept calculating, and one guess after another was put forward and then rejected.
"Thirteen thousand two hundred and thirty, one thousand two hundred and thirty-one..."
Anle counted mechanically in his mind until his thoughts gradually became blurred and his self-consciousness seemed to have disappeared.
His body shriveled up bit by bit, his blood and energy were exhausted, and he looked like a dried corpse!
The divine light in his eyes dimmed, and the Heavenly Palace Divine Treasure in his body kept shrinking and even collapsed. The two tall holy gates turned into dust, and the secret power of the Divine Treasure disappeared like a rootless source, without any trace left.
The meridians became dry, like a dried-up riverbed, and the spiritual energy that was previously as vast as a river gradually disappeared.
Anle's Nascent Soul was also shrinking, and eventually lost all its energy, turning into a tiny soul. It sat alone in its Dantian with its eyes closed, looking quite helpless.
In the end, even the vivid divine power turned into numerous points of light, dissipated like smoke, and disappeared without a trace.
If someone could see his appearance at this moment, they would definitely think that this was a corpse that had been dead for a long time.
I don't know how long I stayed in this nearly corpse-like state. It seemed like I would float in this endless darkness forever.
Suddenly, Anle opened his eyes.
There was a unique kind of vitality flowing out of his eyes. This vitality was different from other secret powers such as qi, blood, and spiritual power. It was simple and unpretentious, but it seemed to contain the power to create all things and had infinite possibilities.
Immediately afterwards, Anle's body shook.
His body was like chaos, shaking violently as if he had experienced the creation of the world.
This vital energy gushed out, and the tangible and intangible energy filled Anle's body, instantly filling the previous emptiness.
Then, the vital energy split into two, and the part floating upwards became spiritual power, surging like the river in the sky and the sea, nourishing the dry meridians.
The energy that settled downwards turned into fresh blood and energy, which quickly restored the color of the shriveled body and made it less skinny.
Then, numerous vital energies intertwined and turned into bricks, tiles, pillars, beams, steps, and palace pavilions.
