The Great World: Rise from Liuyu

After a brief period of adaptation, he began to slowly strengthen his spiritual power.

Just like that, after a day, when Liu Bai had fully adapted to the second level of Soul Shock, he took a deep breath and directly adjusted the level to the third level...

hum!

Liu Bai could even feel a buzzing sound coming from his soul, and then he sat down on the ground, supporting himself with his hands.

At this moment, if someone could see, they would find that Liu Bai's whole body was tense, but his body was not stimulated by any external force. He just tensed every muscle in his body by himself.

This is one of the manifestations of the soul being mapped to the body. Although Liu Bai's body was not stimulated at all in reality, he had subjectively reacted to the stimulation on his body. The damage that should have occurred under this stimulation was actually directly fed back to his body.

This is somewhat similar to the illusion of the Kurama clan controlling the five senses in the previous life's Naruto anime.

This time the adaptation time was a bit longer. It took Liu Bai three full days to finally come out of that kind of soul intimidation.

Jiuyou has transformed back into human form and is sitting beside him bored.

This kind of low-level soul deterrence is completely useless to her, not to mention that she is now a top-level divine beast, the Nine-Netherworld Bird. When it comes to this kind of soul deterrence, as a member of the divine beast clan, she has the most say.

"Tsk tsk, your human souls are indeed very fragile. This level of soul deterrence is at most equivalent to the Heavenly Transformation Realm. It actually takes you so long to adapt!"

Since the Soul-Shocking Formation is a formation, then it must follow the classification of formation levels. A third-level Soul-Shocking Formation compared to a third-level formation is only equivalent to the Heaven-Rending Realm.

It was the special nature of the Soul Shocking Formation that allowed it to exert a power comparable to that of the Heavenly Transformation Realm. But even so, it still caused extreme discomfort to Liu Bai, a powerful warrior with a difficult spiritual power.

After all, the soul and the spirit are two different things. The latter is a tangible but intangible product formed by the fusion of the former and the spiritual power, while the pure soul is intangible and intangible. Unless one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one can feel its existence, otherwise no one can discover the soul.

Only the truly strong ones can achieve the ability to manifest their souls, and that level is called "true spirit"!

In many ancient or even prehistoric ruins, the bodies, souls, and even spiritual power of those powerful people have often completely dissipated, but their true spirits are still preserved.

Although the true spirit cannot bring people back to life, it is not without any power.

For example, the true spirits left behind by many ancient supreme powerful beings can even rely on their powerful soul power to change the world!

Of course, since the soul is invisible and intangible, if it wants to exist, it must have a sufficiently powerful object to serve as its carrier.

For example, the Emperor Sword in the original novel...

The evil tribes outside the domain have evil thoughts, and there are true spirits in the world. It seems that no matter which vast world it is in, the soul is the most mysterious and powerful existence in life.

In the stone chamber, Liu Bai was preparing to activate the fourth level of soul-stirring while thinking carefully in his mind.

Should I break this soul-stunning formation?

If he wants to rely on his own ability to see through and deduce the formation diagram of the seventh-level soul-shocking formation, he must at least upgrade his virtual mind to the highest level...

The amount of experience required is also a huge number.

"Although it only takes 100,000 experience points to advance from elementary to intermediate, it is ten times higher than the amount required for awakening elementary... Then how many experience points are needed to advance from intermediate to advanced? Is it also ten times..."

"Damn it! That would use up all the experience points I've worked so hard to gather!"

To be honest, Liu Bai was a little reluctant.

But this soul-shocking formation is really too tempting.

If it were used directly against the enemy, even those whose cultivation was far beyond the level of this formation would be trapped by the Soul-Shocking Formation and would not be able to escape in a short period of time.

Even if I were more ruthless, I could directly destroy the souls of these guys...

By then, only the body and spiritual power will be left. Wouldn't I just become a walking corpse?

Thinking of this, Liu Bai shuddered, as if he was somewhat unable to accept that scene.

Confusing, hesitant, hesitant...

Liu Bai suddenly found himself suffering from decision-making difficulties.

When he finally made a decision, Liu Bai unknowingly saw that the number on the door had already lit up to the fifth number.

"Oh my god, have I already adapted to the pressure of the fifth level of soul-stirring power?"

This really shocked Liu Bai. He didn't expect that he had already reached the standard while he was still half asleep. He counted on his fingers and found that there was only about a month left.

"Does this mean that my soul is stronger..."

Liu Bai was thinking in his mind and had already opened his attribute panel.

"One hundred thousand experience points will upgrade the virtual mind's eye to a middle level, and one million experience points will upgrade the virtual mind's eye to an advanced level!"

In an instant, Liu Bai's experience points of more than 1.4 million shrank instantly, and now only a little over 300,000 remained...

Instead, the eye-like ball of light originally located between Liu Bai's eyebrows has become almost real!

At this moment, in Jiuyou's perspective, Liu Bai seemed to have grown his third eye. A hazy light shot out from his eye between his eyebrows. Even Jiuyou, the fourth-grade supreme Nine Nether Bird, felt a trance, as if he was in a drunken dream.

"Um?!"

Suddenly, Jiuyou woke up in a startled state, and when he looked at Liu Bai again, he became a little confused.

"You guy... why did I seem to see an eye on your forehead just now? And as soon as I saw the light coming out of that eye, I felt like I was drunk!"

In fact, it’s not Jiuyou’s fault that his resistance is too poor, but this virtual mind is actually a kind of spiritual perception.

The higher the level of Liu Bai's virtual mind, the stronger Liu Bai's soul is, and it may even be strong enough to influence Jiuyou.

From this we can see how abnormal Liu Bai's spiritual power has reached at this time!

Of course, the benefits of fully mastering the virtual mind are more than just that.

The same spiritual formation, if in the hands of a spiritual formation master who has mastered the virtual mind, will not only consume less spiritual power than an ordinary spiritual formation master, but will also be more powerful. At the same time, the failure rate will be greatly reduced, and more outstanding spiritual formation masters like Liu Bai can even arrange formations beyond their level.

Moreover, when Liu Bai used his virtual mind again, the lines of the formation covering the entire stone chamber were already clearly visible. He could even follow these lines. As long as there was enough time, Liu Bai would be able to find the center of the spirit formation. By then, as long as he could find the center of the formation, he would be able to completely imprint the diagram of the soul-stirring formation and use it for his own benefit!

Thinking of this, Liu Bai suddenly became interested and immediately began to sort out the lines of these spiritual formations.

In this busyness, time passes by little by little.

The approaching Five Sects Competition had caused the lower five sects, including the Fire God Sect, to become noisy.

Although the main purpose of the Five Sects Competition is to help the Five Elements Divine Sect select disciples, it does not mean that only people like Liu Bai who practice the Five Elements Kung Fu can participate.

For example, the talented disciples from the five sects would also participate in this competition. Although it would be difficult for them to become disciples of the upper sects if they won in the end, the rewards they could get were very generous.

There were even magical arts that matched their own attributes given out as rewards, so the disciples from all five major sects were very enthusiastic about the competition.

That’s a divine art... Even Liu Bai has never encountered any small divine art in such a long time.

Between heaven and earth, all things coexist.

Spiritual techniques and divine arts are two completely different types of power.

The former relies on practice, while the latter relies on control.

Because no matter what level of spiritual skills it is, mortal level, spiritual level, or god level... the essence of spiritual skills is to use one's own spiritual power in a certain way to attack and defend, or fly, etc.

This power requires your practice. The stronger you are, the more powerful the spiritual technique will be!

But divine arts are more mysterious.

It is said that there are all kinds of magical powers between heaven and earth. Once they are driven, they can burst out with extremely terrifying power. The method of driving these powers is called divine arts.

Therefore, the power of divine arts originally existed between heaven and earth, and the cultivators only mastered the methods to drive them.

The more control you have, the more force you can drive, and the more powerful your power will naturally be.

This is the real difference between spiritual techniques and divine arts!

For Liu Bai, if he obtained a powerful god-level attacking spiritual technique, he would not be able to exert its full power due to his cultivation level.

Just like the Five Elements Divine Thunder Art, Liu Bai had already reached the highest level early on, and even physical Five Elements Divine Thunder was born in his body.

But until now, he has not been able to fully unleash the true power of these five thunders. Even if he has achieved the level of killing the Supreme in seconds, it still cannot be said to be perfect.

But if it is divine magic, it is different...

Liu Bai can completely rely on experience points to gain perfect control and then unleash the most powerful power of this magic.

The important thing is that it is not restricted by your own cultivation!

If this happens, what will happen to Liu Bai?

All of this is still an unknown for the time being, because Liu Bai himself has not yet realized it.

Perhaps he would not realize it until he obtained his first divine art...

On the last day of the Soul-Shocking Array retreat, Liu Bai finally thoroughly understood the Soul-Shocking Array in the stone chamber.

At this moment, he could control the formation in the stone chamber to adjust the corresponding level at will. However, if he wanted to arrange it himself, it was not impossible, but it would take a long time.

After all, strictly speaking, Liu Bai's previous spiritual formation master level had not yet reached level 6. Although his formation realm was very high, it was still the same sentence, his spiritual power was not enough for him to condense a spiritual seal that supported a huge level 6 spiritual formation.

Although his virtual mind had greatly reduced the spiritual energy he needed to consume to set up the formation, it was still very difficult to set up a seventh-level soul-shocking formation, which was two levels higher.

But the enemies Liu Bai is facing now do not require a seventh-level spirit formation to deal with them. It is enough for him to set up a fifth-level soul-stirring formation.

As for the sixth-level Soul-Shocking Formation, it is definitely a terrifying method that can kill the enemy instantly.

At this point, Liu Bai was able to leave the city with peace of mind.

With his current spiritual strength, he should have no problem performing at his normal level in the space of the Five Sects Competition.

What Liu Bai didn't expect was that when he came out, he saw two faces full of disbelief...

"You...you, you actually managed to stay in that stone chamber until now?" Yan Xu, one of the two, stared at Liu Bai's face and said in shock.

"Uh, what's wrong?" Liu Bai was confused by him for a moment, not knowing what to be surprised about.

"Didn't you just come out?"

The other Dong Qing shook his head bitterly.

"No, we actually came out ten days ago..."

Liu Bai: “?”

Now it was Liu Bai's turn to be surprised.

"What's going on? Are these two people so powerful? It took them such a short time to fully adapt to the Soul-Shocking Formation?"

Liu Bai almost wanted to ask them who was the time traveler and who was the cheater.

Why are your souls so perverted?

But the facts proved that Liu Bai was overthinking!

"Although we have adapted to the fifth level of soul-stirring, we can only last for ten days at most. If it lasts longer, we will fall into a state of drowsiness, or even fall into a coma in serious cases."

"But the five sects' competition will only take five days in total, so this is enough."

This was what the two of them thought, but when they saw that Liu Bai could actually hold on for two months, they were really shocked.

"It seems that Brother Liu should be able to win a good place in the competition this time. We are here to congratulate Brother Liu."

"Congratulations!"

Yan Xu and Dong Qing both clasped their fists and smiled at Liu Bai.

But looking at their smiles, they seemed a little forced.

"Thank you very much. Thank you both for your kind words. However, your qualifications and cultivation are better than mine, so I think it is almost certain that you will be admitted to the upper sect."

Chapter 137 Five Elements Realm

When the clear sound of bells spread throughout the Fire God Sect, Liu Bai and the other two had already arrived at the Fire God Square in the center of the Fire God Sect.

At this time, the real strong people gathered here. The leader of the Fire God Sect, many elders, and even the supreme elder Jin Chi all showed up. It is said that the five true disciples of the Fire God Sect and many inner sect elites also showed up one by one, without missing a single person.

The leader of the Fire God Sect is a middle-aged man who looks very handsome. He wears a red fire cloud robe and has a mysterious aura around him, like a black hole that traps all spiritual energy and even spiritual consciousness that approaches.

"Are these three the talents recruited by the two elders in charge of transmitting skills and enforcing laws and the supreme elder?" Vulcan Sect leader Yan Qianzhong looked at the location of Liu Bai and the other two, then shifted his gaze to the three people around him with a smile.

The elders who are in charge of teaching and enforcing the law are all powerful elders in the Fire God Sect, holding high positions and great influence. Although Jin Chi does not take charge of matters, he is the person with the highest seniority present. Even Yan Qianzhong has to give him some face, so even the Sect Master speaks to him in a gentle manner.

Jin Chi was in a very bad mood recently. The true fire that he had been guarding for hundreds of years was finally taken away by someone else. Moreover, he had been searching for it for such a long time but found nothing. It would be strange if he was in a good mood.

Seeing Jin Chi with such a cold face, even daring to ignore the words of the sect leader, the remaining two people felt a little funny, but they did not dare to let the atmosphere become dull.

One of the elders who taught skills, who had white hair and a youthful face, smiled kindly and said, "The sect master is right. The talents and strengths of these three are quite good, especially Liu Bai, who was brought in by the Grand Elder. I heard that he is less than 20 years old, but his strength has already broken through the spiritual power barrier. It is said that he is accompanied by an evolved Nine Nether Bird. His talents, opportunities and even strength are very extraordinary. I think our Fire God Sect should have a good ranking in this five-sect competition."

"Oh?" Yan Qianzhong was surprised to hear that the elder who taught the skills was so optimistic about Liu Bai.

He looked again and instantly locked onto which one of the three was Liu Bai.
