Chapter 79: Clues of the Five Changes in the Qi Channel
After swallowing so many companions at once, all the spirit ghosts felt very depressed, and their wills were low. Wu Yi thought they would cheer up, but maybe the monster became too strong all of a sudden, shattering their confidence.
On the contrary, those evil ghosts who were not hurt still retained a little confidence in order to survive, but most of them were also in a state of panic, curled up in the large formation without a formation base.
"Huh." Wu Yi, who had been observing the changes of these ghosts with his spiritual consciousness, suddenly found something very interesting. He didn't know if it was God's will. The monster had just swallowed four spirit ghosts not long ago, and now there were several ghosts in the evil ghost group with gradually rising auras. Now it seemed that several more spirit ghosts would be born soon.
Most of these ghosts that were about to advance came from the hundreds of evil ghosts whose leaders were swallowed by the monster. In order to make them uniform and easy to manage, Wu Yi originally matched one spirit ghost with a hundred evil ghosts to form a balance of power among the ghosts.
The consequence of the balance is that although the ghosts are forced to unite under the pressure of the demon, they have always maintained competition internally. This healthy competition is also promoted by Wu Yi. However, the variable of the demon broke the original fragile balance. The evil ghosts who lost the ghost leader will be eaten by other ghosts. The lucky ones will join the new leader, and the unlucky ones will become the nutrients for the advancement of other ghosts.
But this change is very weak. Now the ghosts have not discovered it. If Wu Yi is not the master of the world, he can't sense it. Maybe even the ghosts who are about to advance don't know that they have to go further. All ghosts are currently thinking about how to deal with the invasion of the demon. The possibility of internal fighting has been reduced to the lowest, but it is also necessary to prevent the ghost sword from going off the track and devouring other ghosts for progress.
In the past, Wu Yi would not allow this kind of advancement that was not under his control to exist, and would strangle it in the bud. He needs to strangle all unstable factors when they are born.
Today is different from the past. At that time, he was cautious and acted carefully. He had no extra thoughts to manage the stone tablet world. Now he can operate it. Therefore, Wu Yi did not eliminate these evil ghosts who were about to become spirit ghosts, but let them develop. Wu Yi had the idea of changing the water in the stone tablet world in his heart, and now it was just what he wanted.
Of course, Wu Yi's other idea was that these ghosts who were about to become spirit ghosts were just beginning to advance, and their strength was relatively weak. They also saw the mystery of the formation. Without the constraints of old experience, they might be able to truly evolve the formation completely.
Having made up his mind, Wu Yi withdrew most of his mind from the stone tablet world, but still left a wisp of mind to patrol the world for him. For such a large operation, Wu Yi would not be so relieved as to let all the ghosts fight on their own. He just gave the beginning and tried to reduce his intervention as much as possible afterwards.
After leaving the stone tablet world, the sky had darkened. It was time for the inner demon to be outside. Wu Yi took back his shadow at the moment before the sunset.
If an outsider appeared now, he would be surprised to find that Wu Yi's cave was empty, but there were two shadows on the ground. One of them was Wu Yi, and the other was the inner demon. To be more precise, one of the shadows was not Wu Yi.
Wu Yi turned into a black shadow and hid at the left foot of the shadow, about the size of a palm. It was not that Wu Yi did not want to turn smaller, but he could only turn into this size at present. Most of his body was still his shadow incarnation. Even if the enemy knew that he practiced Shadow Escape, it would be useless if he could not see where his real body was.
This change looked magical, but if Wu Yi did not get the next few levels of skills of Shadow Escape, this change would have always existed in the illusion. It was said before that half of Shadow Escape was an illusion, which was true. In the eyes of outsiders, Wu Yi did disappear, but the truth was that Wu Yi was still sitting on the stone bed practicing. At present, Wu Yi did not have the ability to change his body, which required the next few levels of Shadow Escape. Now he mainly relied on illusion to confuse others.
But the condensed shadow clone is true. One of the benefits of this shadow escape is that the real body and the shadow can exchange positions, that is, it takes the punishment for the master. This is the real reason why the shadow escape is called the escape technique.
Of course, Wu Yi has not reached this point yet. What he can do now is to confuse the other party with the color dust, so that the other party regards his shadow as his real body. If others practice this shadow escape, they may not be able to do this step. The reason why Wu Yi can progress so quickly is that Wu Yi has the foundation of illusion. When Wu Yi removes the illusion, Wu Yi will naturally "disappear" in the eyes of outsiders.
As night falls, the inner demon appears very naturally, but in Wu Yi's perception, it is just a shadow clone of the inner demon, who relies on illusion like Wu Yi to support the scene.
The inner demon also condensed a shadow clone. Wu Yi was surprised for a while, but then he understood. Wu Yi engraved the scripture in the sea of consciousness, and the inner demon must have seen it, not to mention that it was awakened because of this.
The inner demon stole a shadow clone condensed by Wu Yi, which was in a very strange state. It was neither a pure Yin body nor a pure Yang body. It was like a ghost possessed, but this body was just a shadow.
Whether it was a shadow or the original heart ghost of the inner demon itself, they were all Yin, that is, they could not survive on their own and needed a host.
The only variable was the Burning Emperor's skills. After the inner demon occupied the shadow clone, the essence was greatly reduced because the shadow was not originally Yang. In the future, it would need to rely on countless precious medicines to increase the strength of the body. This is not difficult to understand. The flesh and blood body is called a treasure raft for crossing the world by the cultivators, and it cannot be easily damaged. The shadow is originally a floating thing. If you want to turn the virtual into the real, you naturally have to pay a price.
But on the other hand, without the restraint of the flesh, the inner demon also allowed the blood light to smoothly extend to the whole body of the shadow, almost condensing into an immortal body. The immortal body is Wu Yi's name for the changes after the Burning Emperor cultivated to the Golden Core. That time, Wu Yi saw the Burning Emperor fighting with the giant crocodile in the Burning Emperor world, and only a head was left, and he was able to recover, so he called the changes of this method entering the Golden Core the immortal body.
According to Wu Yi's observation of the Burning Emperor in the Burning Emperor world, the first stage of the Burning Emperor's method is that the red light covers the heart, which is to refine the qi, and then covers the main parts, such as the internal organs and the joints of the hands and feet, which should correspond to the foundation, and finally the red light spreads all over the body.
Wu Yi doesn't say that the red light spreads all over the body. Even if the Burning Blood Technique is constantly urging, even the second stage of covering the main parts has not been completed. This method can only make the greatest progress between life and death. Wu Yi is also very helpless about this.
Of course, the inner demon cannot achieve a genuine immortal body by changing bodies. It needs endless elixirs to replenish it, but there should be no doubt that the second step of the inner demon has been taken, otherwise it would not have such a magnificent vitality. The door to the golden elixir of the inner demon technique has been opened, but it needs a large amount of precious medicine as support along the way.
After practicing Shadow Escape, Wu Yi practiced the last five changes of the "Small Zhoutian Moving Technique" which he had not watched much since he got it. Now his strength has entered the foundation building, and the overall situation of the law against the ghosts in the stone tablet world has also slowly opened. In comparison, the Qi Dao is actually his most backward one.
The progress of the Qi Dao, as far as it can be seen, is far less powerful than the strength of the law. Wu Yi not only comprehended the Dao rhyme through the law technique "Fengdu Record", but also visualized a stone tablet world. Although it is very immature, it is undoubtedly the most promising in terms of development.
The two strength methods he practiced, the nine movements helped him mobilize the strength of his whole body, and the Burning Emperor method accelerated his recovery speed.
The spiritual energy cultivated by the Qi Dao only helped Wu Yi to slowly recuperate his body. Except for some spells such as Qi Blade Technique that Wu Yi used at the beginning, he has not used them now.
Sometimes Wu Yi would wonder if it was still necessary to cultivate the Qi Dao, and it would be better to specialize in the other two. However, both Wang Chuchen and Black Beetle suggested that he practice the three paths in parallel. Although the emphasis was different, they did not persuade him to give up one of them, even Senior Bai Ze whom he met in the inner gate was the same.
Perhaps it was related to the secret of the golden elixir. Wu Yi thought in his heart that the golden elixir was the product of the fusion of the three elements of essence, qi and spirit, and the three paths were closely involved.
Putting aside miscellaneous thoughts, Wu Yi silently practiced the method of luck recorded in the scriptures. He had already engraved the content in his sea of consciousness, and now he was deducing it by himself in the sea of consciousness.
There is no need to worry about the inner demon getting in the way in the sea of consciousness. If he evolves directly in the Dantian, the inner demon can see what he is cultivating at a glance. Although it is okay for the inner demon to know, Wu Yi hopes to use it maturely before showing it to the inner demon, leaving an impression of unfathomable and extraordinary qualifications in the heart of the inner demon, so that he can be more powerful in momentum if he really fights in the future. Not only Wu Yi, but also the inner demon does the same. Seeing the leopard in the tube, both of them realized that the other party is not an easy opponent.
The fifth change is the change of qi. As the name suggests, the spiritual energy can be changed into other things. At the beginning of cultivation, Wu Yi found that this change seemed to be mixed with some content of the law.
After discovering this, he seemed to suddenly understand why there is a fifth change after the peak of the fourth change. Otherwise, the peak of the fourth change, that is, after the Dantian is full, it is obvious that you can try to impact the foundation. There is a side section, which seems to be superfluous.
But if these five changes involve the other two ways, it can be explained clearly. When refining qi, the content of the other two ways is mixed in early. The final purpose is probably to give disciples a greater chance of surviving the golden elixir tribulation.
Although it involves the other two paths, this "Small Zhoutian Moving Technique" is still based on the Qi Dao. Controlling the other two paths is ultimately a Qi Dao method.
The key to changing Qi is to attach the mind to the spiritual energy and help it produce many changes. Wu Yi even gave birth to spiritual consciousness. This step is a natural result and very simple, but it does not mean mastery. A child may not be able to move a heavy object of dozens of kilograms, but an adult can move it from any angle. This is the so-called one force breaks all methods.
But Wu Yi still doesn't know which angle is the most labor-saving. This requires a little bit of exploration, so he can naturally be said to have achieved the fifth change of Qi Dao when he goes out now, but he is still a long way from the peak.
