Chapter 226 At the Tianqing Sect Treasure Appraisal Conference
"The reason why I can suppress my cultivation is because of these wood carvings."
In a small wood carving shop.
Gongsun Ji said, got up directly and came to the wooden display cabinet in the store.
He took out an exquisite tiger-shaped wood carving from one of the display cabinets and threw it into Xie Shen's hands.
He asked Xie Shen: "In addition to my spiritual power hidden in this wooden carving, do fellow Taoists see anything else?"
After being reminded by Gongsun Ji, Xie Shen silently released his spiritual consciousness and penetrated into the wood carving.
The next second.
He said solemnly: "This tiger wood carving gives me a feeling of flesh and blood, as if it is alive"
"Could it be said that you not only injected spiritual power into the wood sculpture, but also injected your own life force into it?"
"What else?" Gongsun Ji pointed at his white hair and wrinkles on his face.
He smiled and said: "I, a noble Yuan Ying stage monk, should have lived to be seven or eight hundred years old before my hair would turn gray and I would grow old."
"But in order to suppress my own cultivation and not ascend to the fairy world, I managed to inject my own life force into the wood sculpture."
"That's why."
"I am only about two hundred years old now, and I have become what I am now."
Gongsun Ji said, and suddenly cast a spell to take away the tiger wood carving from Xie Shen's hand.
After injecting a black mist into the wood sculpture, he threw it into the air and said to Xie Shen: "Fellow Taoist, please pay attention to me and let me show you what is so magical about the wood sculpture that has been injected with life force."
Xie Shen heard the sound and looked towards the wood carving.
——But I saw that the wooden sculpture with a black mist had grown nearly a hundred times as soon as it was separated from Gongsun Ji's hands.
As the wooden tiger continues to grow in size, the hair on its body gradually becomes more lifelike.
at last.
This wood carving transforms into a real tiger.
In front of Xie Shen, Gongsun Ji closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the ground. His whole body instantly collapsed, as if he was in a coma.
at the same time.
The tiger spoke in human words: "Fellow Taoist, do you think my magical power of transforming souls can still penetrate your eyes?"
This.
Xie Shen said with a look of disbelief: "You actually transferred your consciousness into the wooden tiger? How is this possible?"
"As far as I know, human consciousness can and can only be stored in the brain."
"Or it may be stored in a bionic brain, or a brain constructed by mechanically simulating flesh and blood."
"As for other dead objects, such as wood carvings and so on."
"These are absolutely impossible to store human consciousness."
"What you said, fellow Taoist, is only half right." The wooden tiger showed an extremely human smile and explained to Xie Shen: "In fact, human consciousness can be forcibly stored in dead objects."
"It's just that the consciousness stored in dead things will gradually dissipate over time."
"Just like I am now."
Conversation room.
Xie Shen suddenly discovered.
The hair on the wooden tiger controlled by Gongsun Ji unknowingly changed back to the texture of wood.
It is no longer lifelike, and even the entire body is getting smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a short time, the tiger had completely transformed back into its original wooden sculpture.
Gongsun Ji, who collapsed on the ground and fell into a coma, also woke up at this moment.
He looked at Xie Shen and said, "Fellow Taoist, if you take another look at the wooden tiger, you will find that it is different from the previous one."
Xie Shen waved his hand and used his magic power to grab the wooden tiger from the air.
He looked at the wood sculpture thoughtfully and said: "After you have possessed me, this tiger wood sculpture no longer has any magic in it."
"It has completely turned into an ordinary wooden sculpture."
"It's no different from those carved by mortals on the street."
Xie Shen finally understood.
He continued what he had just said: "So, although these wood carvings made by fellow Taoist Gongsun have the function of possessing people, they are all disposable?"
"Yes." Gongsun Ji nodded and replied: "My original intention of making these wood carvings was to transfer my own vitality into the wood carvings, thereby suppressing my own cultivation."
"But as my carving skills became more and more sophisticated, I gradually discovered that I could actually understand my own way from carving, and use this to break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage."
"In the words of Taoist friends, it is the first step towards transforming gods into mortals."
"This is the first harvest."
Gongsun Ji continued: "As for the second harvest."
"As you can see, I found that the statues I made all have one-time possession capabilities."
After some conversation.
In order to repay Xie Shen's kindness in preaching and solving his doubts, Gongsun Ji took the opportunity to imprint the method of making wood carvings and the method of controlling wood carvings on the jade slips, and gave them to Xie Shen.
——Considering that this magic still has room for growth and will have much to say in the future, Gongsun Ji named it ‘the method of incarnation outside the body’.
Xie Shen was overjoyed to have obtained the 'method of incarnation outside the body' and a lot of information about this world, and immediately left Gongsun's residence.
…
Unknowingly, more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, apart from occasionally going to Gongsun Ji's carving shop to drink tea, Xie Shen spent all the rest of his time studying the 'method of incarnation outside the body'.
Although Xie Shen deliberately did not dare to practice.
However, affected by the mysterious rules of this world, the cultivation level of the body he controlled still passively progressed from the early stage of Yuanying to the middle stage of Yuanying.
At the same time that the body's cultivation level broke through to the middle stage of Nascent Soul, Li Xiu also sent the modified spiritual light formation to Xie Shen's hands.
He said to Xie Shen through the combat power detector: "Some time ago, I exchanged an ancient book with the 'three major formations' from a practitioner in the Aldebaran galaxy."
"This ancient book records three different types of formations: 'Lingyan', 'Spiritual Fire' and 'Lingguang'."
"Among them, spiritual fire is responsible for killing, spiritual light is responsible for trapping, and spiritual rock is responsible for defense."
Li Xiu explained: "After reading the ancient book, I combined the spiritual rock formation recorded in the ancient book with the spiritual light formation, and then used the scarlet flesh and blood derived from 'Wu Si' to combine the fused formation. Upgraded.”
"I asked Deng Bin to test the upgraded fusion version of the formation and got the data."
"This formation, even if Deng Bin, who has the cultivation level of the God Transformation stage, uses all his strength, it is difficult to break it."
"Okay, okay!" Xie Shen said happily after hearing this: "In about ten days or so, the devil seeds I planted will bloom."
"It's so timely that you sent the formation here."
"With this great formation, I can sit back and relax."
"By the way." Li Xiu continued: "Although this formation has strong defensive power, it consumes a lot of money."
"It needs to be deployed and deployed on a planet with extremely strong extraordinary power."
"For example, the planet you are currently on."
"And if it is placed on a planet like Aldebaran C, which has almost no extraordinary power, the formation will not have any effect."
"I understand." Xie Shen followed Li Xiu's words and said, "So, are you really a set of formations tailor-made for me?"
"You're interested, Li Xiu." "In addition." Li Xiu added in the combat power detector: "For the convenience of naming, I have named it the Flesh Rock Light Array based on the origin of the array."
< br>
Laying out the formation requires a lot of materials.
Especially the extremely powerful formations like the Flesh Rock Light Formation, which can block the cultivators in the transformation stage.
At this time, the benefits of Xie Shen's support from the forces on the earth are revealed - no matter how difficult it is to obtain the formation materials for the flesh and blood rock light array, Li Xiu can prepare them completely, and there is no need for Xie Shen to worry about this. .
Xie Shen spent seven days setting up the flesh-and-blood rock light array.
period.
When he arranged it on the sixth day and the formation was about to be completed, the demon seeds actually broke through the ground and sprouted in advance, and the flowers bloomed quickly.
On the day it bloomed, there was a black mist that was so dense that it was almost as real as it could be observed without zirconium metal glasses or combat power detectors. It overflowed from the stamens of the Demonic Flower.
Seeing this, Xie Shen quickly used a transparent glass cover to cover the Demon Flower.
Although doing so cannot completely prevent the black mist in the stamens from leaking out, it can more or less slow down its leaking speed.
This bought a certain amount of time for Xie Shen to arrange the formation and for the growth of the Demon Flower

Seven days later.
Relying on the knowledge accumulated in the past, the elders of Tianqing Sect, after running around, finally succeeded in inviting the elders and heads of the major cultivating sects on Qiuyue Star to come to the Tianqing Sect's mountain gate for a date.
Due to the large number of martial arts participating in this event, the scale is unprecedented.
Therefore, in order to show their importance, some of them used secret methods to suppress their own cultivation. The ancestors of the God Transformation Stage who were hidden in their own sects also dared to come to Tianqing Sect.
As soon as these high-level monks arrived, they naturally attracted a large number of Qi-training and foundation-building monks, who all went to the Tianqing Sect's mountain gate to take a look at the grand event.
When the number of people increased, some vendors who sensed business opportunities also pushed their carts to the gate of Tianqing Sect Mountain.
They either hawk food along the street, or sell information elixirs, as well as daily travel expenses.
Suddenly, Tianqing Sect suddenly became very lively.
By the fourth quarter of the day, that is, around eight o'clock in the evening.
I saw a group of Golden Core Nascent Soul Stage monks, as well as a small number of God Transformation Stage monks who had used secret techniques to suppress their own cultivation, gathered in the meeting hall.
Lin Xuanjing, the leader of the Tianqing Sect, said loudly: "Everyone, let me tell you the truth, our Tianqing Sect invites you here this time. On the surface, it is to appraise the treasure, but in fact, it is to discuss the immortal world and the matter of ascension."< br>
There was no uproar as expected.
The moment Lin Xuanjing said what he just said, all the monks present showed a look of understanding.
——Obviously, these monks had already guessed the real purpose of the Tianqing Sect's grand event before they came.
In fact, it is precisely because of this that the ancestors of the various sects who have not come out from the world will make an exception to come here for the banquet.
At this moment.
Seeing the leader Lin Xuanjing speak his true feelings directly, everyone present looked at him and waited for the next words.
I saw Lin Xuanjing continue: "About the fairy world, if it were a hundred years ago, many of you might still be kept in the dark."
"But now, I believe everyone already knows what the consequences of ascending to the fairy world will be."
"I will say no more at this moment."
——I don’t know why, but whenever there are monks in the lower world discussing the matter of ascension, these people will be targeted by an indescribable sense of terror.
So over time, all the monks formed a tacit consensus with great tacit understanding.
Regarding the fairy world, it is enough to mention it briefly during the conversation, and there is no need to explain too much at all.
Anyone who understands will naturally understand.
So after hearing what Lin Xuanjing said, all the monks looked at each other and nodded to each other.
Lean less.
One of the Nascent Soul stage monks stood up and said, "Since Master Lin has taken the initiative to invite us, he must have a good countermeasure in mind. Regardless of whether the countermeasure is good or bad, Master Lin should first give us some ideas and speak them out to us." How about listening?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuanjing said frankly: "Everyone, I don't have any good strategies to solve the ascension issue."
"The reason why I called everyone here this time is because with the strength of the crowd, we can come up with countermeasures faster by pooling our wisdom."
"After all."
Lin Xuanjing emphasized: "I believe everyone has felt it to a greater or lesser extent."
"In recent years, the cultivation speed of our Golden elixir and Nascent Soul stage monks has been improving faster and faster."
"If this continues, I am afraid that all of us will not be able to be guided by the gate of the fairy world, and will eventually be sent to the fairy world."
"We have to save ourselves!"
"So."
Lin Xuanjing said to the crowd: "Let everyone express their opinions and say whatever comes to mind without any scruples."
"Besides, it doesn't matter if you can't think of a solution for a while."
"During this period, everyone can live in my Tianqing Sect."
"Either we sit and discuss the Tao, or we exchange experiences and insights on cultivation, or we discuss how to suppress our own cultivation, whatever you want is up to you."
"Until we come up with a perfect solution to the problem."
As the leader, Lin Xuanjing's words can be said to be comprehensive.
Now that he has reached this point, the monks who came to attend the gathering naturally no longer have any objections.
It's night.
Tianqing Sect held a banquet to entertain the guests.
During the banquet, the monks exchanged cups and drank wine, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
In this way, nearly half a month passed in a flash.
…
The residence of the inner disciples of Tianqing Sect.
Xie Shen is in the house.
In these days, more and more black mist is released by the Demonic Flower.
The transparent glass cover used to cover the Demonic Flower to ensure that the black mist would not leak out had obvious cracks on it.
It seemed like it might break apart at any moment.
Seeing this scene, Xie Shen became anxious.
He once again asked Li Xiu for help, hoping that he could help upgrade and improve the glass cover to help him survive this crisis.
Inside the combat effectiveness detector.
Li Xiu said to Xie Shen calmly.
"I just took a look at the video you sent back."
"The devil flower in the video releases too much black mist."
“Even if I improve the glass cover, it’s impossible to cover so much black fog.”
"Then what should we do?" Xie Shen frowned when he heard this and said, "I don't know what the people of Tianqing Sect think. It happened that during the time when the Demon Flower was blooming, a so-called treasure appraisal conference was held."
"At present, almost all the high-level monks from Qiu Yuexing have gathered at the Tianqing Sect's mountain gate."
"So, once the glass cover covering the Heavenly Demon Flower is broken, once the black mist leaks out."
"The consequences will be disastrous."
