Chapter 0947: Inside the Pearl
It was pitch black in front of him. Mu Xingqiu arrived at a new place. He was even more confused than Kun Dun. But he soon understood one thing. This was not the Unprotected Land that destroyed the body and soul, nor was it the Selfless Land that specifically imprisoned the residual soul. His body was still there, his soul was still intact, and his seven emotions and six desires were honest and dutiful. This showed one thing: Kun Dun had failed. [6][9][s][h][u][x][.][c][o][m]
Kun Dun had failed. Mu Xingqiu had fled to another place. He didn't even know where he was. He shouted, and his voice went far away, accompanied by waves of echoes, but he didn't get any answer. It seemed that he was the only one here. The echo meant the boundary. Mu Xingqiu cast a spell and flew forward, but there was nothing around him. He was floating in the void. He couldn't even be sure that he was really flying. It was possible that he was just pretending to fly in the original place.
Full of confusion, Mu Xingqiu decided to enter the state of meditation. The most basic practice method of the Taoist school had helped him gain peace in the Unprotected Land. He wanted to see if it would work here as well.
This time, the level of contemplation was relatively shallow. Mu Xingqiu was eager to achieve success and opened his eyes quickly. At that moment, he saw a faint light passing in front of his eyes. It disappeared too quickly, more like the dizziness caused by suddenly opening his eyes or standing up suddenly. But for Mu Xingqiu, who has a third eye and has practiced for a long time, this is impossible.
Kun Hun, Fang Fang's soul, spirit, Feng Po Po, Yang Qingyin, Shen Hao... appeared in his mind one by one, and then slowly disappeared. Mu Xingqiu entered contemplation again. This time he threw away all his thoughts and entered deep contemplation. He didn't consider the effect or when to wake up. In short, he had to let nature take its course.
It is not easy to achieve long-term contemplation. A little interference from the outside world or a little fluctuation in the heart may wake up the contemplator. Mu Xingqiu woke up and didn't know how long it had been. In this silent and colorless world, he conducted the purest contemplation.
But this world is no longer completely dark.
There was a faint light covering the four directions, as if it was within reach, but also as if it was far away in the sky, and it was very shy. If you stare at it closely, it will slowly retreat, revealing the pure darkness.
Mu Xingqiu pondered for a long time and entered into meditation again.
In this way, he repeatedly switched between meditation and meditation, and did nothing else. After each meditation, the light around him would become a little stronger. After countless times, he was finally able to roughly see where he was outside.
He was floating in a huge pearl, or he became too small. In short, compared to him, the pearl was a world.
Mu Xingqiu was shocked. Could it be that he was dead and his soul was collected into the Frost Soul Sword? He looked down and saw nothing in front of him. He reached out and felt it, but it was also empty. He thought that his body was normal, but it didn't exist at all. The previous touch was an illusion.
He really only had a soul left.
He really entered a magic weapon, which might not be the Frost Soul Sword, but might be other magic weapons of the Lantern and Candle family.
But there is still one thing that cannot be explained. Souls only exist in the past and will not think about new problems, but he can. As far as he knows, another soul that can do this is Fangfang.
Thinking of Fangfang, Mu Xingqiu regained his composure and continued to perform deep contemplation, over and over again. The rest in between was all used to think about two questions: How did the soul bypass Kun Dun's spell? What is the source of power?
Mu Xingqiu had a hunch that the final answers to these two questions would point to the same thing.
The light in the pearl increased very slowly, but Mu Xingqiu didn't care. He concentrated on contemplation. After closing and opening his eyes countless times - this was just an imaginary action, otherwise he couldn't enter and exit the contemplation state - he noticed that a line of words appeared in front of him at some point.
"I already know the truth..."
One line of words disappeared and another line of words appeared. With his own guess, most of the doubts in Mu Xingqiu's heart were finally answered.
Kun Dun's speculation was not wrong. Before Mr. Qin entered the reincarnation, he did inject a reincarnation technique into Mu Xingqiu's body and sealed it on his soul, but Kun Dun ignored the Frost Soul Sword.
Many years ago, in order to prevent the Frost Soul Sword from being lost, Mu Xingqiu asked Zuo Liuying to cast a spell and engrave the sword on one of his bones, so that Fangfang's soul would not be disturbed from then on.
But there are some things that Mu Xingqiu cannot stop, and the soul is one of them. Before the death of Fang Xunmo, the 37th generation ancestor of the Taoist tradition, he sent his soul to Zhibubang, and it automatically returned to the old master, and Mu Xingqiu was unaware of it.
Mr. Qin gained Mu Xingqiu's trust and injected several spells into his body. One of them had a side effect and unlocked the seal of the Frost Soul Sword. Mu Xingqiu did not want Fangfang's soul to be disturbed, but Mr. Qin did the opposite and wanted to let the outside information enter the sword.
Compared with the memory and reincarnation technique handed over by Mr. Qin, this is really an inconspicuous spell. Kun Dun was deceived. After guessing a complete plan, he gave up searching for other possibilities.
Mr. Qin knew Kun Dun's strength very well. The hope he chose was not Mu Xingqiu or any creature in this world, but his daughter, even if she only had a wisp of soul left.
Fangfang quietly learned the whole story from Mu Xingqiu's mind, and understood her father's wishes. The first thing she did was to replace the reincarnation technique, because Mr. Qin's magic could not be hidden from Kun Dun anyway. Sooner or later, he would be able to figure it out and spare no effort to seize this magic.
But even Kun Dun, the most powerful person in history, could not forcibly take the art of reincarnation from Mu Xingqiu. He had to send him to the Demon Cave and wait for his body and soul to separate before he could take it.
Fangfang did it because she had a soul, which was something Mr. Qin had not expected beforehand. He handed the mess to his daughter's soul and did not give any advice or help except to unlock the seal.
The soul and the art of reincarnation were exchanged to become a trap, waiting for Kun Dun to come to the door on his own initiative. Mu Xingqiu played the role of grass and dust spread on the top of the trap to cover it.
The soul could only make Kun Dun dizzy for a short while, making most of his spells ineffective, which lasted about one breath. This time was enough for Fangfang's soul to do many things.
The fireball in the Frost Soul Sword was actually the art of reincarnation. After the explosion, the sword was destroyed. Before that, Yang Qingyin and Mu Dong'er's souls were sent out and returned to their original bodies.
The restriction cast by Kun Dun disappeared, and the Dragon Demon finally removed the magic spell in the flea eye and led everyone into the hiding place she had prepared long ago, which was Mu Dong'er's retreat.
Seeing this, Mu Xingqiu breathed a sigh of relief. The people he cared about most were at least temporarily safe.
In the Demon Cave, Fang Fang's soul had indeed been hidden in the body of Grandma Feng. In that crucial breath, she sent all the prisoners in the Silent Land and the Uncovered Land into another void, with the exception of Grandma Feng and Shen Geng, because Fang Fang had another place to go, and Shen Geng couldn't move at all.
Fang Fang did not explain where the "other void" was, nor did she reveal her whereabouts. She was not hiding it from Mu Xingqiu, but to guard against Kun Dun's exploration.
The text continued to appear line by line. It was the practice method that Fang Fang left for Mu Xingqiu, which was not completely unfamiliar to him.
Fangfang's soul has been practicing in the Frost Soul Sword for a long time. Apart from being able to control more than 100,000 souls, there is no more effect. She has no body and no inner elixir. Practice is just a habitual behavior to keep quiet.
Mr. Qin's action of breaking the seal of the Frost Soul Sword changed many things. Fangfang not only knew the existence of Kun Dun from Mu Xingqiu's mind, but also saw various methods of practice, which were completely different from what she learned in her life.
Demon cultivation, scattered cultivation, soul cultivation, beast cultivation, magic cultivation, illusion cultivation, natural way... Mu Xingqiu's mind is like a chaotic library, full of useless books, but some great ideas are also hidden in it.
Mu Xingqiu is a determined doer. He is not as smart as Zuo Liuying, and not as spiritual as Fangfang. He once tried to combine the methods he learned, but he didn't even see the way.
Fangfang saw it. In the long process of thinking, her mind has become extremely simple, like a very thin blade that can avoid obstacles and hit the vital points directly.
She glimpsed the light of the source of power at the moment of the pill breaking, but it became farther and farther away from her after that. Mu Xingqiu's memories finally gave her the necessary help to see the light again.
Power exists in everything. Flowers, plants, stones, birds and beasts, humans, demons, Taoists and demons are all collecting power little by little and learning to control them. Kun Dun has reached the extreme on this road. The power he has collected is almost endless. His control skills are slightly insufficient, but he will soon be able to improve them.
If you want to defeat Kun Dun, you must fight hard. There is no other choice. Even the soul has no way, because the word "defeat" itself means entering the opponent's rules.
Literati can despise wealth, but they cannot compete with them with calligraphy and painting; scheming people can look down on millions of soldiers, but they cannot really defeat the invading enemy in the tent; hermits in the mountains and forests can ignore emperors and generals, but they cannot use the mysterious way to rebel and seize the world.
The soul is similar to it. It can avoid the rules of power, but unless it has a powerful force like Siming Ding at its disposal, it cannot defeat another force.
The key to defeating Kun Dun is here. First of all, there must be a strong man who is not much different from it, so that the soul can play a role in the decisive battle.
Fangfang took the soul away, and Mu Xingqiu was responsible for becoming that strong man.
Mu Xingqiu understood that he and Fangfang were another pair of demons and demon souls-different from the demon souls obsessed with reincarnation, this pair would not refuse to merge, and would be more powerful.
Fangfang pointed out the direction of progress in the method. Mu Xingqiu could not see the source of power for the time being, but he was more convinced than ever that the source was ahead, and more certain than ever that he needed the unintentional use of the mind illusion technique, which was the key to open the hall.
But how can I see the residual soul of the descendant of the mind science?
