Big Bodhi [The Great Enlightenment] - Chapter 862

[Chapter 830: The life lock calms the spirit, and the lost soul seizes the heart]

“For some reason, this world always gives me an indescribable sense of danger.”

Turning around and walking back to the cave, Ji Yuenian sat down on the ground on a relatively clean rock, looking at the dark sky outside the cave. Under the silver light of the stars and moon, my mind could never calm down.

Ever since he lived in Xianqi Yinggu, he had been feeling a little restless, as if there were creatures peeping in the dark. This feeling made Ji Yuenian extremely uncomfortable here.

“The Taiyin Goddess originally wanted to send me to the realm of the twins of yin and moon, but I fell into the realm of destiny when I was traveling through the stars. Is this really a coincidence, or is it a so-called ‘accident’ pushed by someone behind the scenes? …”

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of an extremely slender gray-white stream of light. The halo started from the corner of the cave, blooming out wisps of light, and gradually condensed into a gray-white figure dressed in tattered cloth.

The gray-white human face had a strange and sinister face, with two strange bloody holes between its eyes. It had no ears, no nose, and only a slightly normal mouth.

After it appeared, it turned around quietly and looked in the direction of Ji Yuenian.

At this moment, the uncomfortable feeling of voyeurism was so intense that Ji Yuenian breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the gray-white figure.

He was not afraid of being spied on by the strange creatures here. What Ji Yuenian was worried about was that it might not be a coincidence that he fell into the world of fate.

But looking at it now, Ji Yuenian can judge that the reason for his exile in the life world should only be due to the special characteristics of the creatures in the real world, rather than other man-made reasons.

The gray-white figure came closer and stopped a few feet in front of Ji Yuenian. His empty eyes looked straight at Ji Yuenian and said, “You are indeed not a creature from the world of life.” Ji Yuenian raised his head slightly

. , looking at the silk stream of light surrounding it, and noticed that there was a vague aura of divine seal on it, he frowned slightly and said: “You are not a god, and you are not a ghost. It is really strange.”

The gray-white figure sighed, and two pale ghost fires burned in the empty eye sockets, making its lifeless face much more vivid: “Seriously speaking, I should be regarded as the earth god of Xianqi Yinggu.” “The earth god

… …”

Ji Yuenian looked a little strange.

The corners of the gray-white humanoid’s mouth twitched and he said, “How about we make a deal?”

Ji Yuenian said, “If you have been snooping in the dark, you should know that I am just an ordinary person at this time. “

The gray-white figure shook its head, and the underworld fire in its eyes trembled more violently: “I bet you will be interested in the content of the transaction.” It

waved its arm lightly, and the scattered light flow turned into a light curtain. It showed a scene of a bright golden light passing through the galaxy boundary wall under the influence of seven rainbow lights.

Seeing this scene, Ji Yuenian’s pupils shrank and he slowly stood up and said, “Let’s talk about it.” The

gray-white figure showed a smile that was uglier than crying and said, “A long time ago, the rules of the world here appeared. A terrible twist. Although I am called the Lord of the Earth, I have actually become a monster that cannot live or die. I can tell you where the boundary wall you fell down is, but if you can leave one day, But you need to take me away from this terrifying cage.”

Ji Yuenian looked at the pale fire in its eyes and said: “This world of life locks is indeed very strange. What is going on?” The gray-white

figure sighed. , said: “You and other creatures outside the world don’t know. This world was originally called the ‘World of Floating Immortals’. At that time, all living things had infinite vitality and possibilities. As long as you reach the realm of the sea of gods and the sky, you can step into the realm of eternal life.” Realm. It was only later that the shackles of fate were recast to suppress all spirits in the world. No one in the three heavens and nine realms could escape the confinement of the life chain. Over time, the world of floating immortals was called the ‘realm of life chain’ by you and other outsiders. “

Ji Yuenian shook his head slightly and said: “Among the many records of the realm of Zhou and Tian, the realm of fate has always been extremely far away from the realm of Zhou and Tian. We don’t know the secrets.”

The gray-white figure was silent for a while and said: “The life chain imprisons all the spirits in the world. Although no one can practice, no one in the three heavens and nine realms can live forever, but on the other hand, it has kept the source of the world intact, making such a long time Since then, there has never been a calamity.” “

It would be fine if it were just that. But later on, many talented creatures were unwilling to accept the limit of a hundred years of life, and tried every means to break through the shackles of life. Countless years passed, but it was true. They found an opportunity.”

At this point, the land god wrapped in gray-white light stretched out his palm and condensed a light curtain again, “These geniuses discovered that whenever a living being reaches the end of its life, its true spirit will They submerged into the void in extremely strange forms and disappeared, so they racked their brains to find the place where those true spirits went.” Above the light curtain,

one of the nine realms of the three days, Tianxiaohai, appeared environment scene.

The violent waves rolled and roared, and there was endless sea water in all directions. But apart from the sea water, there were countless bright spots of light wandering aimlessly.

The God of Earth pointed at the light curtain in front of him, and the fire in his eyes was beating more and more violently, “Countless time ago, countless immortals in the ancient immortal court held the shackles of fate and enslaved countless sentient beings, and they were able to be overthrown in one day, and this recasting The final shackles of fate themselves are incomplete, how could they not leave any loopholes?!” “

Whenever a creature expires after a hundred years, its true spirit will be suppressed by the rules of the fate shackles to the realm of heaven and sea, and all remaining traces will be stripped off. The memory of the soul is then dug deep into the heart and bones, turning it into a completely blank pure true spirit, and finally thrown into the already distorted reincarnation, and then a brand new life was born.” “It is terrible to deprive all living beings like this

. This behavior is entirely to maintain the integrity of the source of the life world!” “

Not only does this world not regard us as its people, but it treats us as pigs and sheep who take whatever we ask for!”

Its tone was extremely angry, as if it was being influenced by It feels like a huge grievance.

Ji Yuenian looked at it quietly and said, “Just now you said that the rules of this world have been distorted, where did you start from?”

The Earth God dispersed the light curtain in front of him, glanced at Ji Yuenian, and said: “This is exactly what I want to tell you. Those geniuses found the place where the true spirit stayed, and finally thought of a wonderful method. It can actually avoid the death disaster of a hundred years of life.”

At this point, the hell fire in its eyes jumped twice unusually, “This method is simple to say, you only need to cultivate to the ‘Xin Xuan’ before the life span ends. In this state, the soul can temporarily leave the body and travel around the world.”

Ji Yuenian frowned slightly and asked: “What is the state of ‘Xinxuan’? Also, although I don’t know the rules of practice in the life world. , but if the soul breaks out of the body and has no true spirit to rely on, I’m afraid it won’t last long.” The

Earth God nodded and said: “The ‘Xinxuan’ realm is the realm of the mind created by many geniuses. What is imprisoned is the true spirit and the soul, but in the realm of ‘Xin Xuan’, it only cultivates the mind’s karma, and finally connects the soul with the mind. Only when the mind is strong can the soul be temporarily broken out of the body.” After a pause

, It continued, “If you want to stay in the world for a long time, you only need to make the soul leave the body within a few breaths before the one-hundred-year life limit arrives. In this way, the true soul will be captured by the rules of the life lock, and the separated soul will be Being able to find a true spirit that has not yet expired and become a relatively twisted brand new life.”

Ji Yuenian looked a little solemn and said: “The true spirit found by the separated soul should not have any of its own. Only the soul can do it, could it be…”

The Earth God nodded and said: “That’s it. Find another person in the realm of ‘Xin Xuan’, let him willingly temporarily leave his soul, and then occupy his true spirit. This way , the soul of the person who has expired can enjoy the remaining life span of this true spirit.”

Ji Yuenian said: “Is there anyone who is willing to give the life span of the true spirit to others willingly? What’s more, he will give the true life span to others. If you leave your spirit to others, I’m afraid your soul won’t survive for long after it leaves the body, right?”

The underworld fire in the eyes of the Earth God trembled slightly, and said: “Although there is the mental blessing of the Xinxuan Realm, it can take anywhere from a few years to a few days. This wandering soul is bound to die.” At this point,

it Sighing again, “It is precisely because of this that today’s Three Heavens and Nine Realms have already become a terrible hell for people’s hearts. Countless creatures are doing everything they can to extend their lifespan. There are intrigues and fights everywhere.” , but at this moment, no one can save this twisted world.”

Ji Yuenian looked at it coldly and said: “So, you are not an earth god?” The

gray-white figure was silent for a moment. , said: “As expected of a creature from outside the world, indeed the eyes are like torches, but the land here has long been turned into monsters. If I say that I am the land here, I can’t be wrong.” Ji Yuenian’s eyes moved slightly and

said : “Did the land god really exist here?”

The gray-white human form said: “The so-called land god is even more miserable than us. He was deprived of his true soul under the imprisonment of the life chain, although his soul is still there. The divine seal can prevent death, but it has turned into something without any sanity. It is not a complete living being, it is just a puppet of the rules.” Ji Yuenian looked at

it and said: “So you come here At this point, I forcibly occupied its divine seal with my separated soul, but retained my own sanity and achieved eternal life under the rules of the life lock.” The gray-white figure looked at Ji Yuenian steadily, with a grin on his face

. He gave a weird smile and said: “I didn’t regret this kind of eternal life until I got it. Under the suppression of the life chain, the creatures in this world are like hell no matter where they are. Life outside the world, what is your name?” “

Ji Yuenian was silent for a moment and said: “Chaoyin.”

“Chaoyin…”

the gray-white figure murmured softly, “You can call me ‘Lost Soul Taoist’. I once cultivated my soul to the ninth level of Xinxuan. , if you include those true souls you once occupied, it is already more than 2,600 years old.”

Ji Yuenian said in a deep voice: “Brother Lost Soul Taoist, you told me many secrets, and you are so sure Can I leave this world?”

The Lost Soul Taoist glanced at him and said: “The wall of the galaxy is unbreakable. Even before the life lock came, no living being could break the wall of the life world. But the seven rainbow lights around you passed through as if nothing. In the boundary wall realm, I don’t know if you can activate that colorful light, but I remember where you landed. In any case, the galaxy boundary wall there will be much weaker than before. If you can activate it again, The seven rainbow lights should be able to pass through the galaxy wall there again and leave the life realm.”

Ji Yuenian’s face darkened slightly, he shook his head and said, “The seven rainbow lights are condensed by the beings in the transcendent realm. With my cultivation, , it is impossible to condense such light flow.”

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something he had just forgotten, his eyes changed again, his mind trembled slightly, and he thought to himself, “Although the seven rainbow lights are condensed by the Taiyin Goddess, the rainbow light is not It is used to go to the realm of the yin and moon twins. It is impossible to cross the wall of the galaxy with this object. There is only one reason why I can fall into the realm of fate, that is, my true spirit comes from the true realm. Thinking about it this way, this The colorful light is not the reason why I crossed the boundary wall of the galaxy at all.”

Seeing the change in Ji Yuenian’s expression, Taoist Lost Soul vaguely guessed and said with a smile: “Brother Chaoyin, if you can take me out of the world of life, not only will I I will take you to the weak place where the boundary wall is weak, and there will be other things that can be traded with you.”

Ji Yuenian thought of this reason, and felt confident, and said: “There is no need for this, what I am worried about is , with the shackles of fate suppressing you, can you really leave the world of life?”

Lost Soul Taoist said: “At this time, I hold the divine seal of the land of Xianqi Yinggu, and its soul is half fused with me. In order to maintain eternal life, I have been They are constantly peeling off, merging, and going back and forth. If it is time for me to leave, I only need to forcefully peel myself off from the divine seal, and then I can turn into a free spirit again. Brother Chaoyin, At that time, you only need to take me away from the boundary wall of the galaxy, and there is no need to worry about the rest.”

Ji Yuenian nodded slightly and said: “You are the only one who knows the weakness of the boundary wall. It seems that with this deal, I It won’t work if you don’t do it.”

Lost Soul Taoist shook his head and smiled, and said: “Things like this are all voluntary and cannot be forced. Brother Chaoyin, I wonder when you will be able to activate that seven-color rainbow?”

As he spoke, it was dawn outside the cave. The three moons gradually disappeared, replaced by a dim gray-blue sky. The cold morning mist filled the cave, making Ji Yuenian feel vaguely cold.

Inadvertently tightening the sleeves of his white robe, Ji Yuenian said: “I still need to go to Yungu Imperial City and find a way to reconnect the broken leg. Otherwise, the acupoints will be blocked and the meridians will be blocked. No matter how much I say, it will be useless.” Lost Soul Taoist looked at it

. Glancing at Ji Yuenian’s left leg, the gray-white dark fire in his eyes trembled for a few times, and said: “I think before Brother Chaoyin fell here, he should have been at least as good as the Lord of Xiaoqian World, but now he is living in this place. Such a situation is really embarrassing.”

Ji Yueliang said in a low voice: “Although I don’t understand the so-called nine realms of ‘Xin Xuan’, I think it is extremely difficult to practice. Taoist brother can cultivate to the ninth realm of ‘Xin Xuan’ At this time, they are living together with monsters, which is also admirable.”

The two creatures looked at each other, with a hint of joy in suffering in their eyes, and the previous barrier was also reduced.

“Young Master, it’s already dawn, shall we set off?”

Outside the cave, the hoarse and dull voice of the green-scaled giant snake came in. The Lost Soul Taoist smiled and said: “The wolf beast and the little snake are also good. Creation, although your purpose is just to make different attempts on them, you can also make their strength soar dozens of times, which can almost be said to be a step to the sky.” Ji Yuenian shook his head and said: “If you can’t break the disaster, it will be useless

. .”

Lost Soul Taoist flicked his palm, condensed an illusory gray-white token, and said: “Xianqi Yinggu is the place where the divine seal is shrouded in this area. This token is for you to protect yourself when you meet the cultivator. They can be suppressed by force.”

Ji Yuenian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Cultivator?”

Taoist Lost Soul smiled and said: “In the Imperial City of Yungu, there are two ancestors of the Jiang family who are both cultivators of the second level of ‘Xin Xuan’. Because of this, they are called ‘cultivators’. Through many means such as coercion and inducement, these two people have occupied the ‘Xinxuan’ first-level true spirits of several descendants. They have been living for hundreds of years. If you simply think that There are only some peak warriors among them, and I am afraid that they will die in the Jiang clan inexplicably.”

Ji Yuenian turned his palm and put away the shimmering token, and asked: “What is the ability of this Xinxuan realm?”

I don’t know when, the face of the Lost Soul Taoist has been roughly outlined by a pale silk thread. The outline of the figure, with a somewhat complicated expression, said: “Seriously speaking, every breakthrough in the realm of ‘Xinxuan’ is accompanied by countless bloodshed and sins, but what you get in the end is just a slightly longer lifespan.” There is nothing special about Yuan. It’s just that its spirit can leave the body and attack, which can make ordinary peak warriors sluggish and lose their fighting power instantly. Other than that, it is no different from ordinary people.” Ji

Yuenian His eyes were slightly cold and he said: “For a closed tribe like the Jiang family in Xianqi Yinggu, if no new ‘Xinxuan’ tribe members were born, wouldn’t those two people also die at the end of their lifespan?” “That’s right

. “The Lost Soul Taoist chuckled and said, “As far as I know, the Jiang family has withered away over the years. These two are frantically cultivating their own power, and their fight has reached a fever pitch. One of them still has more than seventy years left to live. , the other person only has more than twenty years of life left. The person with a short life expectancy wants to let the other person’s soul leave the body and die, while the person with a long life expectancy wants to keep his true spirit. Without a new ‘Xin Xuan’ Before they were born, it could be said that the two of them were fighting to the death, and they were like fire and water.”

At this point, the golden sunlight outside the cave spilled in, and before he knew it, the sky was filled with morning glow.

The face of the Lost Soul Taoist suddenly became distorted, and the hellfire in his eyes trembled crazily. He turned his head to look at Ji Yuenian and said, “Brother Chaoyin, it’s time for me to suffer the torture in the puppet soul of this land monster again.”

Ji Yuenian looked at the increasingly transparent gray-white figure in front of him and fell silent.

When it was daylight, the head of the green-scaled giant snake reached the entrance of the cave and said cautiously: “Young master, are you awake?” Ji Yuenian stretched out his

robe sleeves, took the branch next to him and held it in his hand. , said: “Go and get some wild fruits. After I drink some water and eat something, we will set off for the Yungu Imperial City.” The green-scaled giant snake shook its

huge head and said: “I’ll go right away.” (End of chapter)
