Chapter 149 Ritual: [Rendering]
Psychic skills are never entirely given by the path.
If one’s own accumulation and talent are insufficient, even if [Dayuan] ignores the ceremony and directly gives an extremely precious psychic skill "Emperor Ooze" to the psychic, the latter will not be able to bear it. Not to mention using it, it may even lead to collapse.
The same is true for the "embers" sealed in zero-element crystals that Song Shi obtained in the past.
This is a powerful psychic skill that specializes in attacking. If an ordinary Great Source psyker were to directly engrave it, they would be seriously injured or even completely burned to ashes in an instant.
——It's like a sharp weapon. Some people can control it at will, and its lethality is frightening, while others are completely incapable of using it, and may even injure themselves in the process of slashing.
The weapons are always the same, but there is a gap in the holders.
Because of this.
In a sense, "ritual" is a medium for communication with the road, and it is also a "proof" of oneself.
Prove that you have the qualifications, abilities, and talents to obtain the desired or suitable psychic skills.
[The Path] is more like a platform that records the lifelong practice of those who have set foot on this path in the past. The accumulation of generations of psychics on this path has all accumulated here, laying the foundation for future travelers.
Prove yourself through "rituals", use this to directionally index the spiritual skills recorded on the road, and then obtain this spiritual skill with the help of the road.
Although there are some exceptions, this is the effect of most rituals whose goal is to obtain psychic skills.
Song Shi sank his mind into the Jinghu Lake.
At this moment, around him, after the first ten fire seeds fell to the ground, with dull trembling sounds, large chunks of the earth were overturned, and cracks burst out, everything actually became calm again. stand up.
No. Not peaceful.
A more accurate statement is that while the surface of the crater is calm, earth-shaking changes are taking place deep inside the extinct volcano!
Ten fires formed a ring and sank into the earth together, heading towards the depths of the mountain.
Then, the two at the front bloomed silently, turning into wisps of red ooze, along the existing gaps inside the mountain, or forcibly melting out a road, slowly moving in all directions. Spread slowly.
Just like slowly pouring a bowl of water into a flower pot, the former will gradually submerge the entire flower pot along the intricate gaps between the root system and the soil.
——This is the ritual of psychic skill·[Rendering].
Use your own spiritual energy to submerge this extinct volcano again, forcibly awaken it, and artificially create a new "volcanic eruption".
Of course this is not just about condensing a large ball of flame with all your strength, then smashing it directly into the volcano, or causing an explosion.
Song Shi sat cross-legged in the center of the mountain pass. With the control of his will, every time the ten fire seeds in the lead went deep into a certain distance, two of them would bloom spontaneously, opening up the way for the rear, and at the same time, they would spread and immerse themselves in the mountain pass. A high geological layer.
I don’t know how long it has been.
When all the fires bloom, the first stage of immersion of this extinct volcano is completed.
Song Shi opened his eyes again.
But in the depths of the originally black pupils, a dazzling red gold lighted up at this moment.
The invisible wind flows by.
Located in the deepest part of the volcano, the long-dead "heart" began to beat again.
There, as the spiritual flames turned into fires poured in, the magma that had been dry for countless years reappeared, and the hot blood flowed again.
Song Shi began to breathe.
As a result, the entire extinct volcano seemed to gradually come to life. Following Song Shi's breathing rhythm, it also began to "breathe"!
In other words, this is the young man who is the source of the second ring. Using himself as the source, he is beginning to reach a certain resonance between man and nature with the extinct volcano, thereby driving the latter to regain its vitality.
If this "resonance" goes one step further, it can be called "the unity of nature and man", which is the outstanding skill or state pursued by some ancient psychics.
Even Song Shi only fully realized the "unity of nature and man" in the fourth ring in his previous life. From then on, he could use the environment and other favorable conditions to help himself.
However, with the current spiritual power of the second level, it is still too difficult to achieve the true "unity of man and nature", so we can only settle for the second best and carry out the current resonance.
“Huh”
Song Shi let out a breath. While maintaining the resonance of the environment, it is also a big burden for him to complete the exquisite control of the psychic flames inside the extinct volcano to ensure that the volcano will not directly collapse or burn down - mainly because it takes too long.
Compared with the various skills and control required to awaken the volcano, Song Shi believed that the biggest trouble in the [rendering] ceremony was the duration.
Because in a sense, this is a matter of slow work and careful work, relying on the psyker to keep grinding, layer after layer, block after block, to complete the rendering of the entire volcano.
Many times, duration is the biggest problem. Just like a person can easily hold on for ten seconds without blinking, but when this time is extended to twenty seconds, thirty seconds, or one minute, the difficulty will increase significantly. .
Although this is not difficult for Song Shi. But he assessed the time and sighed at the thought of having to wait another dozen hours.
“Alas”
·······
“This male protagonist is definitely a murderer. How can he make so many bad movies with such obvious tricks?”
“The taste is really too good. It sucks.”
“The special effects are okay, but how bad can the special effects in movies nowadays be.”
Agalemal suddenly raised his head.
He paused the movie playing on the tablet, quickly climbed out of the compression tent, and looked in one direction.
More than a day had passed since the man who didn't look much older than him and who saved his life and called himself Song Shi went up the mountain.
Before leaving, the other party said that he was going to "wake up" an extinct volcano.
At this moment, Agalemal swallowed and subconsciously held his breath.
The volcano in the distance suddenly began to tremble, and there was a dull and violent roar, spreading in all directions.
boom.
At first, wisps of black smoke rose, and then the wisps of black smoke expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. A large amount of dust rose into the sky, just like a drop of ink dropped into a glass of water. The nearby sky is covered in new colors.
——Boom!
As if he could no longer hold back, a flash of red gradually emerged from the seemingly endless dust, and the overflowing magma overflowed the crater and spread up and down along the side walls. Looking from a distance, one after another red snakes are meandering and swimming.
Then, the volcano completely erupted!
At the end of the sky, a large amount of magma and debris cut through the dusty sky, dragging out wakes driven by huge kinetic and thermal energy and throwing them into the surrounding earth.
The whole world seems to be in doom.
Even at such a long distance, Agalemal could still smell the pungent smell of sulfur, but he had no time to pay attention to it.
Facing this natural disaster-like scene, his intuition as a [revelation] psyker made his hair run cold involuntarily, urging him to leave here as soon as possible!
“——No need to leave.”
Agalemal looked sharply to one side.
Song Shi's figure appeared in the distance, and after a few breaths, he came to the young man's side.
“Aren’t you going to take another look?” Song Shi turned around and looked at the volcano in the distance, admiring his masterpiece: “It’s rare to see a volcanic eruption at such a close distance. Experience."
"Even if it can be replaced by a pseudo-simulation documentary, most of the pseudo-simulation is still not 100%, and it will not be as good as the real reality."
"You can't. Having said that, of course I have to take a look.”
Seeing Song Shi, Agalemal suddenly relaxed and simply sat on the ground.
"By the way, that"
"It's over."
Song Shi was still looking at the volcano, without looking back, and his tone was casual.
"Psychic Skill·[Rendering], I have obtained it."
