Chapter 320 Gathering the Soul
Chapter 320 Gathering the Soul
After reaching the Pulse Condensation Realm, Zhou Shu was still in retreat, and he planned to condense his soul in one go.
The soul is an extension of the soul. After possessing the soul, the cultivator has an additional power that can be used, and can use more spiritual formulas.
The soul is also an indispensable foundation for the formation of the primordial spirit, but it is still far away from the primordial spirit. The simplest difference is that the primordial spirit can be separated from the body at will, and can still be manipulated freely from a long distance, but once the divine soul is separated from the body, it means that the cultivator is dead, and the separated divine soul must either find a new body to seize, or enter the cultivation of the soul. Rest in a wood or a psychic or something, or it will disappear in no time.
Concentrating the soul, according to the classics, should not be difficult for Zhou Shu, who is extremely stable in heart, but he is not completely sure before doing it.
He has a lot of experience in concentrating the soul, some of this experience comes from Hong Yuan, some comes from the classics of the Cangjing Pavilion, and a lot of it comes from evil cultivators.
He killed many evil cultivators, and obtained many jade slips of evil cultivators. Many people turned pale when they talked about evil cultivators, as long as they were evil cultivators, they would not use them, or even read them, but Zhou Shu would not be so extreme. He knew that Xiexiu attached great importance to the soul and was very good at methods such as collecting souls and seizing houses. The knowledge in these jade slips was very helpful to Zhou Shu.
For example, normal cultivators mostly use meditation and visualization to perceive the existence of their own souls, guide and gather them, and thus condense the souls. The process is long, and it is difficult to perceive the souls alone. As for evil cultivators, they will use extreme methods to perceive their souls. They feel that cultivators are most likely to perceive their own souls when they are about to die. This method is fast and may succeed once, but It's also possible that he actually died.
Because there must be a real danger of death, and the duration must be long enough, so that it is easier for the cultivator to truly experience the existence of the soul.
Without much thought, Zhou Shu decided to adopt the method of evil cultivation. He didn't want to waste time, and he had two near-death experiences before, but he was in a coma at that time and had no chance to perceive it. This time he won't.
As a cultivator, it seems that it is not easy to obtain this experience alone, because I am always in a situation where I know that it is very difficult to die.
Zhou Shu began to draw talismans, and different talismans were drawn one after another, and then combined and linked together.
Looking at the large string of talismans, Zhou Shu was very satisfied, although these talismans were all used against him.
In the silent valley, bursts of thunder-like loud noises began to be heard, and the sound shook for dozens of miles.
"What the hell is he doing? Shouldn't Ningmai be quiet, why is it so noisy every day?"
Hao Siyun in Yanyun Valley looked puzzled, "Sister, should we go and see him?"
Hao Ruoyan was equally puzzled by the weird loud noise, but immediately rejected Hao Syun's request, "Of course not, that's Ningmai, you can't disturb others, and it's up to him whether he succeeds or not, and we can't change anything .”
"Oh, if the pulse coagulation fails, it will be miserable."
Hao Siyun nodded, looking worried.
If a cultivator fails to congeal the pulse, his body and mind will be greatly damaged, and he will not be able to recover within a few years, and the success rate of congealing the pulse for the first time is the highest. If the first time fails, the next time will only be more difficult, more and more Difficult, a cultivator who fails twice will only be at the foundation establishment stage in this life.
"No, how could he fail with such qualifications, sister, you think too much."
Hao Ruoyan shook his head with a smile, but there was a faint layer of gray in his eyes. She was actually worried too.
Two days later, Zhou Shu slowly walked out of a collapsed cave.
He was almost naked, his whole body was a little scorched, and he looked quite embarrassed, but there was a bright smile on his face.
"Ah, I didn't notice, the hair is gone!"
He touched his head and couldn't help jumping up. During the several days of suffering, his hair was burned off, and his body suffered unimaginable pain, but compared to these, he obviously gained more.
Without hesitation, he immediately sat down cross-legged and entered a state of ecstasy.
Ten days later, Zhou Shu walked slowly in the valley.
After reaching the Pulse Condensation Realm, only fifteen days later, even the soul was fully condensed, much faster than he imagined.
It wasn't just the physical body that was struggling back and forth in the dying state. In a few flashes of spiritual light, he sensed the soul, which is invisible and has unimaginable power.
Soon, he began to gather his soul.
For him, the process is not complicated.
In his sea of consciousness, a seed gradually germinated and grew up slowly. It didn't take long before it turned into a sturdy young tree. Although it was not big, it was green and green with dense branches and leaves, full of vitality.
That little tree is the spirit.
The soul of each cultivator has its own specific form in the sea of consciousness, which is different, such as deserts, oceans, etc., and so on. Zhou Shu's sea of consciousness is a grassland, and his soul in the sea of consciousness is a tree, which has unlimited growth possibilities.
From a grass to a small tree, Zhou Shu watched it grow up little by little, feeling satisfied in his heart.
But this is just the beginning, as Zhou Shu grows up, it will become a towering tree.
The pulse condensing was completed, so was the soul, and Zhou Shu officially became a pulse condensing practitioner.
This means that Zhou Shu has broken away from the category of low-level disciples, and his status has improved a lot, and he can be regarded as alone among the cultivators. For him, there are many things that he could not do before that he can start to think about now, such as returning to immortality. Fangshi, such as Liu Yuxie and so on.
But it's just for consideration, and he will only act when he has the opportunity. Zhou Shu will not take the initiative to take action for the time being. For him now, of course, the most necessary thing is to improve his cultivation, the sooner the better.
Naturally, the original spiritual cultivation method is useless, but Zhou Shu has a complete and fully opened energy channel, and he can already practice stepping on the sea. Bring great benefits to his cultivation.
But if you start now, the deduction is not complete, and it may not be perfect, so Zhou Shu will wait for a while, probably a few months.
This is already very fast. According to the original calculation, it may take more than a year, but because of the substantial increase in spiritual consciousness after condensing the pulse, the deduction process has also been shortened a lot.
"I still can't practice for the time being, and I will have a few months of leisure time."
Zhou Shu smiled slightly and walked out of the valley slowly.
He stopped a disciple and said politely, "Nephew, where is Yanyun Valley?"
"Ah, Master Uncle...isn't that right, Elder?"
The nun changed her address twice, felt right, and quickly saluted.
In Liuxia Sect, except for a few elders of Keqing, the rest are female cultivators. Seeing him as a male cultivator, it should be easy to identify, but the female cultivator in front of him is obviously a little confused.
Zhou Shu said calmly, "No need to be too polite, where is Yanyun Valley?"
"Yanyun Valley, is it Elder Hao's valley? Isn't it on the opposite side?" The female cultivator looked at Zhou Shu with some doubts, and pointed to the opposite mountain.
"Thank you."
Zhou Shu nodded and left quickly.
No wonder Hao Siyun came to harass him all the time, it turned out to be on the opposite side.
But Zhou Shu didn't come here recently, and Zhou Shu missed it a little bit.
