Chapter 568 For Freedom

After Yuan Ming finished speaking, a strange rune suddenly appeared on his body, and a dazzling golden light burst out, making it impossible to look closely.

The Grand Elder of Guxian Sect had no time to react, and saw a more dazzling spiritual light burst out from Yuan Ming's body, and a spiritual pressure came from all directions, making him breathless and unable to make any moves.

Then there was a loud "bang", and the sky was instantly covered by thick smoke and dust.

A moment later, the Yuanying of the Grand Elder of Guxian Sect staggered out of the smoke and dust, looked back with hatred, and then fled quickly.

Everyone on the mountain was shocked by this huge change, and at this time, a ban in Yuan Ming's cave suddenly opened, and a sound transmission note flew out from it, floating in front of everyone, burning itself out, and Yuan Ming's grand voice came out from it.

"Everyone, since this talisman has been released, it proves that I have been killed by the Yuanying of the Southern Region of Southern Xinjiang. They are from the same Southern Xinjiang as us, but they only regard the Northern Region as a breeding ground for Gu and a chess piece to block the Central Plains, which makes it impossible for us to ascend to immortality and can only be controlled by them forever. Although I am dead now, the Yuanying body that killed me was also destroyed by my counterattack before death. This method is still known to several elders in my Sanxing Mountain. As long as everyone here works together, my Southern Xinjiang and Northern Region will definitely not become ants under the control of the Southern Region again!"

Yuan Ming's words were not loud, but they fell into everyone's ears clearly, causing the hearts of the cultivators to surge and fluctuate.

Seeing that Yuan Ming fought back a Yuanying with his life in exchange for his life, the cultivators expressed their willingness to follow the lead of Sanxing Mountain. In the following decades, they did unite and shared the same hatred and enemies, while the major sects in the Southern Xinjiang and Southern Region fell silent strangely, and no Yuanying cultivators came to the Northern Region again.

Sixty years later, Fang Ge, the new elder of Sanxing Mountain, was promoted to Yuanying. Sanxing Mountain completely became the overlord of the northern region of the southern border and became a neutral existence between the Central Plains and the southern region of the southern border.

…

Black Wind Desert.

After Yuan Ming experienced many twists and turns, he was promoted to Jindan here, and then he occupied an underground city and served as the city lord. After that, he severely cracked down on slave trading and rescued many mortals and casual cultivators, but he also offended the stubborn forces in the Black Wind Desert. In the end, he was plotted against and fell into the Soul Burial Abyss, but he accidentally broke through the seal of Shura Palace.

After the Shura Palace was born, the Yuanying cultivators such as Lei Ming Laozu came together and fought openly and secretly in the palace, but they were eventually subdued by the Six Desires. Seeing that the Six Desires were about to succeed, the remnant soul of the Shura Master had to use the last resort and selected Yuan Ming as his successor. He sent him and the Shura Blood Devouring Diagram out of the Shura Palace, and then triggered the ban and sealed the Shura Palace again.

Hundreds of years later, Yuan Ming went through many hardships and finally achieved the late stage of Yuanying. He returned to Shura Palace and fought with the Six Desires for three days and three nights, and killed him.

After settling all the grievances in the past, he embarked on the road of exploring overseas, but eventually got lost on the road of exploration and died.

…

In the Western Regions, Yuan Ming came to the Western Regions by accident while escaping from the Central Plains.

He used his soul cultivation identity, traveled at night in brocade clothes, practiced hard, and his cultivation level rose steadily. Finally, as a Central Plains person, he defeated all the Yuanying in the Western Regions and was regarded as the co-lord of the Western Regions. He completely settled the war between the Western Regions and the Central Plains, obtained the ancient body cultivation inheritance, cultivated into the body of all things, spent several years unifying the five regions, gathered the power of all the cultivators in the Yunhuang Continent, explored overseas together, and finally died.

…

In the East China Sea, Yuan Ming joined the Nongchao Sanmeng after many twists and turns, and devoted his life to the road of seeking overseas. Although he died in the end, he left countless precious exploration materials for future generations.

…

In Beimo, Yuan Ming, the venerable of Wuyue Sect, resolutely raised the banner of resistance against Wuyue God after learning the true plan of Wuyue Sect.

…

In the Stealing Heaven Cauldron, one day had passed since Yuan Ming began to break through.

Xiying's face was calm, but there was worry in her eyes.

Yuan Ming was still in a deep sleep, his soul power was running in the way of three souls and nine refinements, and the crystal light between his eyebrows flashed, as if a flame was burning.

His soul power was much weaker than before, less than half of its peak.

The terrible thing about the Heart Demon Tribulation is that it is treacherous and changeable. It does not simply and roughly attack the cultivator's soul, but will look for flaws and make the cultivator sink in different ways.

For those who are timid and afraid of death, let him experience thousands of ways of death and collapse his soul; for those with great ambitions, let him have everything go smoothly and sink into illusions.

Xiying didn't know what Yuan Ming had experienced during this period, but she firmly believed that with Yuan Ming's character, he would never fall into the heart demon calamity like other mediocre cultivators.

In fact, the so-called Three Souls and Nine Refinements Secret Art is actually to burn the soul and force the understanding of the true meaning of the sleeping witch. If the understanding is successful, it is a leap forward and the future is limitless.

If it fails, the soul will be scattered and the body will die.

In the past thousands of years, too many members of the Xi family have been burned out of their souls by this secret art and died.

With the help of lives, the Xi family has a fairly accurate summary of using the Three Souls and Nine Refinements to break through the sleeping witch.

If the Three Souls and Nine Refinements Secret Art consumes 70% of the soul power and still does not break through, it will only fail.

"You have to speed up..." Xiying murmured to herself.

In the pure white space, Yuan Ming woke up faintly and felt as if he had a very long dream.

In front of him, a white figure suddenly appeared, and a voice sounded particularly familiar: "After several reincarnations, you have never had a natural death. Why are you fighting so hard and regardless of everything?"

Yuan Ming was still half asleep and half awake at this moment. When he heard the question, he subconsciously answered: "For freedom."

Hearing this, the white figure was a little surprised and laughed: "You are in power and glory, aren't you free? The only one here, the five regions bow down, aren't you free?"

"But I have never been able to do what I want to do and what I can do. How can this be freedom?" Yuan Ming retorted.

The white figure seemed to be stumped by the question. After a long time, he suddenly sighed: "But how do you know that those who restrict your freedom are not to protect you? And what you do for the so-called freedom may not be right."

"If there is ironclad evidence to prove that I am wrong, I will give up, but if not, let alone reincarnation for several lifetimes, even for thousands of lifetimes, I will never give up." Yuan Ming's tone was unprecedentedly firm.

As soon as the voice fell, everything around him shattered. Yuan Ming's huge soul power had disappeared by 70%, but the remaining soul power became purer, and the soul seemed as clear and transparent as glass.

At this moment, his soul was shaking violently, and a weak but brand-new power surged from his sea of ​​consciousness, and his soul began to feel reborn.

Xiying looked at Yuan Ming's figure half embedded in the black tree, and did not dare to relax for a moment.

Guoguo also stared at Yuan Ming, motionless, as if afraid of disturbing him.

The crystal light beating between Yuan Ming's eyebrows suddenly stopped, and a ray of moonlight-like light emerged in the void, converging towards his sea of ​​consciousness. The trend of his soul's weakening suddenly stopped, and then began to strengthen.

Guoguo showed joy on his face and made an excited cry. Xiying was also overjoyed, and finally put down his heart.

"I knew you could do it..."

More and more moonlight merged into his sea of ​​consciousness, and Yuan Ming's soul power slowly increased, and the speed also went from slow to fast.

I don't know how long it took, under the strong stimulation, Yuan Ming's body suddenly opened his eyes, and consciousness returned to the body.

Dream, wake up.

…

Instantly, a powerful soul wave spread out, reverberating in the entire space of the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, like a powerful storm, washing over Xiying's body.

Unconsciously, Xiying felt a little tired, her eyelids slowly drooped, and she was about to close them.

However, her sea of ​​consciousness was startled, and she woke up from her sleepiness, with a trace of surprise in her eyes.

She had been in the realm of sleeping witch for many years, but she almost couldn't withstand Yuan Ming's unconscious soul impact.

"Quickly stabilize the realm, don't let the soul power spread naturally!" Xiying glared at Yuan Ming, with a tone of anger, but a little more joy in her heart.

Yuan Ming smiled, closed his eyes again, and took in the scattered soul power again, stabilizing his realm.

After three days and three nights, Yuan Ming's soul power was completely calm.

His soul suddenly floated out of his body, turned into a human form, and floated in the air.

The soul opened his hands, and the moonlight gathered and merged into his body.

"After reaching the Sleeping Witch, you can actually absorb the moonlight and yin energy directly to temper your soul. Is this the true meaning of the Dark Moon Art you mentioned earlier?" Yuan Ming's soul looked at Xiying.

"Yes, only when you reach this level can the soul be truly transformed." Xiying said.

Yuan Ming nodded and flew in front of Xiying.

"After breaking through the Sleeping Witch, the soul can be out of the body for a longer time. Now that my body cannot be separated from the black tree, I can use my soul to walk outside." Yuan Ming smiled.

"You think too simply. The soul is so important that others can't hide it in time. Unless they have other magical powers, who would be so careless to put it in the open? That is a means that can only be used in the last desperate or escape, just like the Nascent Soul of the Dharma Cultivator." Xiying shook her head.

"You are right." Yuan Ming smiled and nodded, and then let the soul sit on the white jade lotus platform.

The pure willpower immediately poured into the soul, and in just a moment, it pushed the soul's cultivation to the peak of the Sleeping Witch realm.

However, Yuan Ming shook his head slightly: "What a pity, I thought that with the help of the White Jade Lotus Platform, I could raise my soul to a higher realm. Now it seems that it is still not enough."

"Just be content. The Speech Witch realm is not so easy to break through. In the entire Yunhuang Continent, except for the Speech Witch of Wu Yueshen, there has never been a second Speech Witch realm." Xiying rolled her eyes.

Yuan Ming just said it casually and wrote down the name of the next realm of soul cultivation: "Speaking of which, cultivating to the Sleeping Witch, the Dark Moon Art has also reached the end of cultivation. I wonder if there are any more techniques to cultivate after that."

"The Dark Moon Art has been passed down in my family until now, and there should be no follow-up. And as I said, there has never been a Speech Witch in the entire Yunhuang, so how could there be a method to cultivate to the Speech Witch?" Xiying shook her head.

Yuan Ming sighed, and then looked inward to check the changes in his magical powers.

The number of soul crows has doubled to 24, and the distance they can travel has also increased dramatically, reaching 120 miles.

The power of the two abilities "collision" and "crow cry" has doubled again.

As for the "soul search" ability, it is not only faster now, but can also directly modify other people's memories. At the same time, this ability can also be performed by soul crows at a long distance, but as the distance increases, the effect and speed will gradually weaken.

The "soul feeding" ability can now also work on stronger living creatures, and the "corpse control" ability has reached the level of allowing corpses to move like ordinary people.

The effect and duration of the "emotional movement" ability have also been greatly enhanced. It can easily control a person's emotions, making them extremely sad or extremely angry, and evolving into a demon-like existence, thereby controlling the other party's life and death.

In addition to these existing abilities, this time when the soul cultivator broke through the sleeping witch realm, it also brought Yuan Ming a new ability called "nightmare".

This is a large-scale ability that can force people within the range of his spiritual consciousness to fall into a deep sleep. As long as the soul power is weaker than his own, they will not be spared.

"Nightmare" can also evoke the most fearful memories in the depths of a person's heart and transform them into an endless nightmare. Those who fall into the nightmare will continue to be tortured by fear and cannot extricate themselves, and will eventually die of fear.

Unlike illusion, the nightmare created by the "nightmare" ability is not completely constructed by Yuan Ming, so even if the other party is afraid of something that Yuan Ming has never seen, it will appear in the nightmare.

"Nightmare" is powerful and consumes a lot of soul power. The more people are dragged into the dream, the greater the soul power consumption, so it cannot be used too much.

Afterwards, he asked Xiying for some advice on the practice of the Sleeping Witch realm, and the two of them went into seclusion again and continued their practice.
