Chapter 290 Transfer, aftermath(1/2)
…
In the past, Meng Zhou had speculated that there was a high probability that Yan Zhuang's unused soul power remained in this divine soul armor.
But it was never found.
This time, with the help of the repeated cleaning of the great power of life during the birth of life, the disguise on the surface was finally completely washed away, revealing the true content inside, allowing Meng Zhou to see the existence of these remaining soul powers.
But this is not all of this strange, consciousness-like sea space.
At first, Meng Zhou's attention was attracted by the most conspicuous power of the soul, which was like thick clouds and rain, so he didn't pay attention.
When he moved his mind away from the "clouds and rain" and began to explore elsewhere, he discovered that there were three tiny spots deep in this sea-like space.
If you look closely, they are not spots, but more like tiny holes poked in the space by a thin needle.
It is precisely because of their existence that they suddenly destroyed the stability and unity of this sea-like space.
It was like a perfect painting without any flaws, except for three holes that had been maliciously burned with cigarettes.
Through these holes, traces of a hidden world hidden deeper in the surface painting are revealed.
There is no doubt that these three small holes were not burned by cigarette butts, but were "washed" by the secret method of "Bead Body Washing Spirit".
This divine soul armor actually has two layers of camouflage. Meng Zhou had long known about the superficial layer, but he just couldn't see through it.
But behind the surface, there is a deeper layer of disguise.
This is not only a kind of protection for the "inner layer", but also a fatal trap.
Immediately after the Divine Soul Armor was unsealed, a strong and vicious aura emitted, which directly caused serious distortions in the rapidly developing big demon cub that was closely integrated with it.
The reason is that this power that was originally tightly isolated in the "inner layer" "leaked" due to the appearance of these three pores.
Meng Zhou's consciousness peered in through a small hole.
Just after taking a look, there was a slight tingling sensation at the level of the soul.
Fortunately, Meng Zhou was prepared for this. This spiritual consciousness had been abandoned by him long before he penetrated it, and he treated it like a pebble asking for directions.
Meng Zhou saw that the moment this discarded subtle consciousness penetrated the pore, it was like a flammable lamp grass, instantly turning into a pile of ashes.
This violent reaction caused Meng Zhou, who was watching, to feel a phantom pain from the level of his soul.
But he was completely unmoved, his consciousness completely immersed in the strong shock brought by that quick glance.
This is a much larger space like the sea of consciousness.
This space is filled with thick clouds and rain that are like thick ink, and black raindrops may drip down at any time, like a black ocean floating in the void.
What is accumulated here is also the power of the soul.
Regardless of quality or quantity, it far exceeds the remaining group in Yanzhuang.
But that's not the biggest difference.
The essential difference between the two "clouds and rain groups" is that the power of the soul is packed in this space, which is filled with a sense of death and decay.
Looking at them, Meng Zhou immediately had a thought in his mind: "Does the storage of divine soul power still have a shelf life? Are these some kind of deterioration due to expired storage?"
Soon, Meng Zhou shook his head in his heart.
This is just a joke. To draw a real conclusion, this discovery is far from enough.
Meng Zhou was not in a hurry.
He believes that no matter how many secrets are hidden here, under the erosion of the great power of life, the original shape will eventually be revealed bit by bit.
Those hidden dangers that are extremely dangerous to him now will also be eliminated bit by bit in this process.
After the sacrifices of several third-level demons, the secret method of Pearl Embryo Cleansing Spirits completed the accumulation in the stage of minor success and advanced to the realm of Dacheng.
Deep in the space of the Divine Soul Armor Class Consciousness Sea, the "spots" that originally existed sparsely became more and more numerous as one after another of the great demon pups deformed into sarcomas during their development. Each "spot"
"The size is also getting bigger little by little.
This sea-like space seems to be stained with more and more stains.
At this moment, Meng Zhou paused and returned to the Sanchuan Plain. After several days of retreat, he returned to Wumenghai again.
No matter what, practice cannot be delayed.
He also considered finding a suitable spiritual place in Wumenghai to use as a temporary retreat, but after only thinking about it for a moment, he gave up.
With his speed, even if the distance between Wumenghai and Sanchuanyuan is hundreds of thousands of miles, it won't take much time.
Finding a suitable spiritual place nearby may seem easy, but setting it up as a temporary cave that suits his needs will only consume more time and energy.
Moreover, Wumenghai is not peaceful now.
He could often see scenes of the Spirit Controlling Army teaming up with the Qingxuan Sect to form pills and fight fiercely against the third-order monster.
"It's better not to create any complications."
…
Time has come to the end of the year in a blink of an eye.
After the sacrifice of one big monster after another, and the continuous distortion of one big monster baby after another, the sea-like space of consciousness that stores the remaining power of Yanzhuang's soul has been "washed" out of two huge "holes"
”.
The "inner" space that was originally hidden, but Yanzhuang never found any clue of it throughout his life, has been completely revealed.
The color of the originally thick clouds and rain that seemed to be dripping with ink anytime and anywhere in the two cave areas became noticeably lighter.
It's really not easy.
Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, Meng Zhou once again ended his "birthing" life that lasted for more than twenty days and returned to Aurora Cave for the most important retreat of the year.
After several days of retreat, the seventy-year-old Meng Zhou left Tianqi Mountain, but did not go to Wumenghai again, but to Kurosawahara.
It's not that he doesn't want to continue his activities in Wumenghai, it's because after several months of "disaster" caused by him, there are fewer and fewer suitable targets for the big demon.
Unless he lowers his standards and devotes more time to finding a new great demon mother body, moving from Wumenghai to Kurosawahara is a choice he has to make.
It's not that the third-order monsters that Wumenghai used as the "birth" matrix have been destroyed by him, but that their density is rapidly decreasing.
If he wants to find a suitable "birthing" matrix, he must spend more time searching.
As time went by, his understanding of "Pearl Fetus Cleansing Spirits" became more and more profound, and his mastery level became more and more profound. However, the time he actually spent on "inducing birth" became less and less, and he devoted himself to searching for
The time spent on it became more and more.
In this case, switching to Kurosawahara is the best choice.
In terms of area, Kurosawahara is the largest among the three third-level evil vessels.
Although the same area of wasteland has less potential to accumulate life than the sea, Kurosawahara is larger in scope. Secondly, the wasteland is only a part of Kurosawahara. It is also filled with a large number of huge swamps, deep pools, and poisonous canyons.
Mountains, etc., the number of third-order monsters living here is no less than that of Wumenghai.
In addition, the monsters that live here are mostly animals and birds, so the restrictions are much less than those in Wumenghai, and the threat to practitioners is also greater.
Such characteristics have even shaped the practice pattern of the entire Qingxuan Domain.
Overall, the north and east directions of Qingxuan Territory are more desolate and less developed than the west and south directions, and there are fewer practitioners' activities. The biggest reason is that north of Tianqi Mountain and Kurosawa Plain
in the east.
After the outbreak of the beast tide, in terms of the struggle between the alchemy monks and the third-order monsters, the situation in Tianqi Mountain was the most optimistic, while the situation in Wumenghai and Kurosawahara was similar.
When it comes to Qi training and foundation building and first- and second-level monsters, Wumenghai's situation is the most optimistic, followed by Tianqi Mountain, and finally Kurosawahara.
From the lowest level of competition to the top level of wrestling, the situation in Kurosawahara is the most unoptimistic.
Even, in order to weaken the impact of the beast tide in the direction of Kurosawa as much as possible, under the overall coordination of Qingxuan Sect, the practice community voluntarily abandoned some areas and used the method of increasing the spatial distance to dilute the impact of the beast tide as much as possible.
Compared with the monsters in Tianqi Mountain and Wumenghai, many of the monsters in Kurosawahara have a peculiar attribute - nausea.
Especially those monsters born in swamp areas are not only ugly, but also often have some special talents, or they can release a stench that lasts for a long time, or they can turn a good piece of land into
A pool of black cakes, splashing and dancing.
The third level big demon can even control it to make it surge like a wave.
On the other hand, compared to other types of monsters, the Spirit Controlling Army has obviously done much less research on this type of monsters, and has a huge lack of experience.
If they are regarded as materials, their utilization rate is much lower than other types of monsters.
The success rate of refining spirit puppets and corpse puppets is also lower.
Even if they are refined, their combat effectiveness is still lower than other types of monsters of the same level.
All in all, the price/performance ratio is extremely poor.
From the perspective of conversion efficiency, at this time of tight military strength, it is obviously not cost-effective to focus here.
For these reasons, compared to the raging battles in other areas, dealing with the beast tide around Kurosawahara seems a bit perfunctory.
Among them, the first and second level monsters born in swamp areas and the third level monsters are the most "nourishing".
Unless they are forced to do so and must be killed, no one is interested in spending their limited combat power and physical strength on them.
For Meng Zhou, these are not problems.
