Chapter 174 The Great Terror Between Life and Death
——Thanks for the rewards from fallen ♦鈭廆 and non-going friends.
The bloody sword light was not far away from him, and he seemed to be able to smell the strong smell of blood at the tip of his nose. It was the first time he was so close to death. Only then did Shi Xuan realize that he was so afraid of death. Only living can have infinite possibilities. Nothing is left. Is it eternal darkness or endless sinking? Am I unable to hear, see, speak, touch, feel, or think from now on? Just thinking about it makes people scared...
And at the moment before the great terror between life and death hit the soul, Shi Xuan had already used the supreme method, so at this time, a strange situation formed in the Zifu sea of consciousness. There seemed to be a Wubei Wu at the top. Shi Xuan was overjoyed and looked at Shi Xuan's fearful, rolling thoughts below.
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through different memories.
The joy of hearing the immortal way for the first time.
The hardships of deep cultivation.
A firm path under the indifference, contempt and ridicule of everyone in the Penglai sect.
The pursuit of knowledge when asking the master for advice on Taoism.
The emotion and joy when breaking through the realm.
The hard-won escape from Meng Li's men was hard-won.
Calm decision-making when facing the Corpse King.
The joy when the natal magic weapon is achieved.
…………
A tear slipped quietly from the corner of Xu Jinyi's eyes, and then he replied in a hoarse voice: "Master Shi Mingjian, Jinyi won't go either."
"Hate! Hate! Hate! First, I hate that the sky has no eyes, and I couldn't have met my uncle for ten years earlier! Second, I hate that I was young and frivolous, and I didn't know how to take care of myself! Third, I hate that I can only get the true inheritance, and my life is approaching! I only hope that I can have a glimpse of the great road in the next life! Disciple Nan Tian is so ashamed of his uncle!"
Ding Mingde knew he had the answer, so he kowtowed nine times and said, "This disciple is still stained by many worldly things, but it is inconvenient for me to follow my uncle back to the mountain to practice Taoism."
Chu Wan'er didn't think about it at all, and said cheerfully: "Of course I do, Wan'er wants to see the sea, Wan'er wants to catch monsters, Wan'er wants to fly to the sky and escape."
…………
The mortals on the Beihai ship experienced aging, sickness, and death. Although they were helpless, they could not change it. They could only watch it happen.
Just a cold wind made Zhou Chen seriously ill and old man Zhang suddenly died; just a serious illness made Zhou Chen look several years older. In the past two years, many people on the ship have aged a bit. of passengers.
…………
"Dad, I've grown taller again." Zhou Yi and Zhou Ying compared their heights happily. This is the joy of birth and the joy of growing up. Many thoughts that flashed through the scene were actually fixed on this.
The Shi Xuan at the top who is neither sad nor happy seems to have touched the opportunity! Yes, the only thing that can resist the fear of death is the joy of life, the only desire to live, and the only desire for immortality!
I don't want to die! All thoughts run through this voice, and all other distracting thoughts are eliminated. Suddenly, Shi Xuan's soul was shaken, and everything was clear, as if something had been broken.
The soul moves very fast, but the sword light is much slower in comparison. Shi Xuan only feels that the surrounding environment seems to have calmed down and paused. Even the wind has stopped. He can clearly sense the blood color less than three feet away from him. The sword light is getting closer to him little by little, and there are crystal clear spiritual thoughts in and around the body!
In this mysterious feeling, Shi Xuan gently raised his finger, and the clear light from the Wanxiang Shadowless Sword came at an indescribable speed, before Duan Wuqing Shura's blood knife struck Shi Xuan, and penetrated like a wisp of breeze. After a period of ruthless head.
Duan Wuqing's eyes were wide open, full of incredible and unbelievable emotions. The Shura blood knife fell half a foot on Shi Xuan, but it was no longer accurate, and Shi Xuan ducked by shrinking his shoulders.
He tried hard to open his mouth to say something, but how could a dead man speak? Unfortunately, there was no regret in his eyes, because he had not had time to regret it, and he had not even figured out how he failed and suddenly died. Got it!
It was only then that the thunderous sound of the Shadowless Sword breaking through the atmosphere reached his ears, but he could no longer hear it.
Shi Xuan's swordsmanship itself almost reached the level of Sword Qi Thunder Sound, but due to the limitations of his realm, he could not break through. Just now when Shi Xuan's cultivation advanced to the Soul Stage, he naturally mastered the Sword Qi Thunder Sound skill. Peerless swordsmanship.
Even though Duan Wuqing was dead, Shi Xuan still didn't dare to be careless. The Yin-Yang fish behind him slowly turned again, brushing out the Yin and Yang Qi, turning Duan Wuqing's entire body into chaotic energy, leaving only a dim Shura. Blood knife.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Junior Brother Shi, you really broke through to the divine soul stage between life and death. I'm so happy to congratulate you. Well, you actually refined the sword energy and thunder sound." A peaceful voice with some joy came from behind Shi Xuan. .
The clear light from Shi Xuan's Wanxiang Shadowless Sword flashed behind him, then he turned around and looked over, only to see a young monk wearing a moon-white robe appearing there. With a handsome face and a calm and gentle temperament, he was the true successor of the Penglai Sect. Among the disciples, Shi Xuan was most familiar with Xie Fangwei, so Shi Xuan asked in confusion: "Brother Xie, why are you here?"
Xie Fangwei smiled warmly: "Ancestor Blood River had to use calculations to know that Junior Brother Shi was coming to the North Pole, but the sect didn't have to go to that trouble. Senior Uncle Mo is very sure that Junior Brother Shi will go to the North Pole in the next two or three years, and it must be by boat. To Ice Crystal City.”
Unexpectedly, the master understood his character and thoughts so well, so Shi Xuan said gratefully: "So the sect asked senior brother Xie to protect the junior brother?" But what puzzled Shi Xuan was why the sect didn't do it more than two years ago. Let yourself know when you are in overseas countries.
Xie Fangwei nodded and said: "When Patriarch Xuehe calculated you, Junior Brother Shi, there was something strange in the inheritance book in the sect, so the real person was able to interfere just now, but it was a little late, and Patriarch Xuehe figured you out. We need to go to the North Pole. Since Xie is traveling in the North Pole, the sect informed Xie to come over.”
Then Xie Fangwei paused and then said, "But Master Uncle Mo said, 'There is no need to tell him about this. Don't meet him when you get to the North Pole. Only when he is dead can you save him. In case he feels that the sect is ready at any time. Even if I can protect him, I will be lucky in the future. How can there be so many good things in this world?'" As he spoke, he made a common expression on Mo Yuan's face, but he acted like a gentle and delicate person. The expression almost made Shi Xuan laugh uncontrollably.
Although Shi Xuan had met Xie Fangwei when he started, he had never had any contact with him. Only now did he realize that Xie Fangwei was a very easy-to-get-together person, gentle and casual, and good at making jokes, so he smiled and sighed: "Hey, my master is like this . By the way, was Senior Brother Xie ready to take action just now?"
"Well, even if you couldn't break through, Junior Brother Shi, I am sure to save you." As the two of them talked, Xie Fangwei discovered that Shi Xuan was also an easy person to get along with, so he stopped being polite and began to call himself brother. And when he said this, his face was calm and calm, as if he didn't take Duan Wuqing seriously at all. This was a sign of having strong strength as his backing. In fact, if you think about it, Xie Fangwei first followed the two of them, and then watched from the sidelines when the two fought, but they didn't find any trace. One can imagine how unfathomable his strength is.
Shi Xuan still bowed his hands and said, "Anyway, thank you so much, senior brother. It's better not to have this kind of breakthrough between life and death again, otherwise 90% of the time it will be dead."
Xie Fangwei smiled softly: "It's good to have this kind of understanding. Even people like Master Yong who never come back will not often put themselves between life and death to break through. No one who does that will survive." Hehe, speaking of Uncle Yong, I would like to congratulate Junior Brother Shi once again. You are the second person in the sect in the past three thousand years, after Uncle Yong, to have mastered sword energy when he just broke through to the Soul Stage. Lei Yin, a genius with peerless swordsmanship!”
Shi Xuan was a little ashamed. Maybe he had some talent in swordsmanship, but he was definitely not a genius. In addition to practicing swordsmanship assiduously, he also thanked Lu Lingxiao for his swordsmanship experience. He unreservedly shared all his opinions and experiences about swordsmanship. Taught them all to myself. With such an expert in swordsmanship teaching him everything, plus Shi Xuan's own hard training and a little talent, Shi Xuan's current peerless swordsmanship has been achieved, so Shi Xuan chuckled and said: "I don't dare to praise you senior brother, Shi Xuan It was only through some adventures that I achieved my swordsmanship achievements today.”
"No monk who can reach the divine soul stage has some adventures. Okay, Junior Brother Shi, you have just made a breakthrough, so you should stabilize your cultivation as soon as possible, and I will protect you. When you stabilize your cultivation, we still have things to do. Hey "If the Blood Demon Sect dares to come and kill you, let's kill them one by one and see what the other three are capable of." Xie Fangwei knew that Shi Xuan had just advanced and needed to practice quietly, so he didn't say much.
Shi Xuan nodded, and no longer asked why the three people would not receive the warning from the Blood Demon Sect and evacuate. Instead, he lowered his escape light, sat directly on the snow, and began to practice. As for the monk guarding the door, etc. It's just a matter of casually throwing a sword.
Spiritual thought is an intangible thing like the soul that belongs to the spiritual world. It is a bridge that communicates with the material world, that is, the real world. The soul uses it to control the body and the external aura. After combining it with the soul to form a divine soul, it will lay a solid foundation for the next golden elixir stage divine soul to break the barrier between the spiritual world and the material world and directly interfere with reality without using magic. This step is a trick, and it will be much more difficult to achieve the golden elixir, and it may even be impossible to advance.
Of course, after the soul is united, there are many other benefits: the control ability is greatly increased, the reaction time from thought to action is also greatly reduced, so the casting time is shorter, and the control of flying swords, magic weapons, infuriating energy, etc. is more precise and long-distance , the technique can be practiced to a higher level, and a true energy field can be formed within a few feet around the body, and it will gradually become larger as the cultivation level deepens.
Shi Xuan entered a state of visualization, sensing the divine thoughts flying in and around the body, and then the soul directed a divine thought to slowly retreat from the space between spirit and matter to the spiritual world, and then stored it in the soul, and then illuminated the treasure. According to the recorded method, the soul slowly rotates to integrate that divine thought with itself.
