The strong swordsman was stunned for a moment and didn't understand.
"The rules of this world, otherwise why would gods, no, the 'ghosts' you call them, be allowed to exist?"
Xiao Chen said casually.
"Rules of heaven and earth? What do you mean?"
The strong swordsman looked at Xiao Chen, even more confused.
"..."
When Xiao Chen saw this, he realized that they had no idea at all.
So, he gave a brief introduction, including the matter of cultivating God.
The two strong men listened very carefully, just like primary school students listening to the teacher's lecture.
In their opinion, the same is true. From the perspective of spiritual cultivation, Xiao Chen is the teacher!
Being able to cultivate God in the ancient martial arts world is all due to Xiao Chen.
Including them, if they can take that step, they all owe it to Xiao Chen.
If they couldn't cultivate themselves, it would be impossible for them to take that step.
"So that's it..."
The swordsman was suddenly stunned.
"No wonder I felt something different after entering the Dragon Soul Cave..."
"Well, the rules of this world are special, so 'ghosts' are allowed to exist."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"Senior, are there any benefits to you from killing ghosts?"
"Of course, when we kill the ghost, we can absorb part of the power of the soul..."
The strong swordsman replied.
"There is only that moment, before the ghost disappears... In addition, the ghost does not seem to disappear completely, but returns to this world, and after some time, it will condense again."
"At the moment of killing, can you absorb the power of the soul? Can you strengthen your own soul?"
Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows.
"Yes."
The former swordsman nodded.
"This statement has been around for a long time, but before people didn't cultivate themselves, people couldn't understand it... Now, it can all be explained."
"After absorbing it before, the ancient martial arts cultivation has not become stronger, but I feel that my condition is much better...and after my condition is improved, it is also good for the ancient martial arts practice, and it becomes easier."
Another strong man answered.
"Now we all know that it's because the soul has become stronger... When the soul is stronger, practicing ancient martial arts will be easier with twice the result with half the effort."
"Well, that's the truth."
Xiao Chen nodded. Although cultivating gods and cultivating martial arts are not the same thing, in fact, they are one and the same and complement each other.
Cultivating martial arts cultivates oneself, cultivating gods and cultivating souls. The self is the body, which can nourish the soul, and when the soul is strong, it can also strengthen oneself.
When I didn’t practice divine skills in the past, the strength of the divine soul depended entirely on myself, except for certain opportunities...
Therefore, Lao Xiao and his group, either because of themselves or because of chance, caught the last train and became innately strong.
"Two seniors, what I just saw from a distance is that the ghosts here don't seem to be too strong, right?"
Xiao Chen thought of something and said again.
"Because this is the outer perimeter of the Dragon Soul Cave. The further inside, the stronger the ghosts become and the more dangerous they become."
The strong swordsman introduced.
"Many of the ghosts outside have been re-condensed, while some ghosts inside may have existed for infinite years and have given birth to their own consciousness. They are all very powerful."
"Birth of self-awareness?"
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed. Isn't this similar to the transformation of an island country?
"Some of the more powerful ghosts have also changed their status. They are no longer illusory, just like us... This kind of thing is the most terrifying."
The strong swordsman paused after saying this.
"Someone divided the Dragon Soul Cave into seven areas. This is the first area. There are self-aware ghosts in the third area, but there are not many in number. The fourth area..."
"Senior, tell me directly what's in District 7."
Xiao Chen interrupted the swordsman's words and said.
"The seventh area...it is said that there are ancient war spirits, not only human beings, but also dragon souls...so this place is called the 'Dragon Soul Cave'."
How serious is a strong swordsman?
"That place is a real place of near death, don't enter lightly."
"Ancient war soul? Dragon soul?"
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes, is this the origin of the name 'Dragon Soul Cave'?
"Where did the ancient war spirit come from?"
Chifeng was curious.
"It is said that the seventh area was once an ancient battlefield, but what exactly happened is unclear."
The strong swordsman shook his head.
"I have never been to District 7. The furthest I have been is District 5... It is already very dangerous there. Many ghosts are not weaker than me, or even stronger."
"Innate strength?"
Hua Youque asked.
"Yes, and the ghost's shape is changeable, making it more difficult to deal with."
The strong swordsman said this and looked at the flowers.
"You'd better not go to the fifth district. You can just wander around the first four districts."
"..."
Hua Youque's face darkened. Everyone was trying to get better, but you are not much better than me!
"Senior, why didn't you go to District 5?"
Xiao Chen looked at the strong swordsman and asked.
"We have just arrived, so we want to get used to it here before going forward."
The strong swordsman replied.
"Master Xiao Clan, do you also want to try your luck in this Dragon Soul Cave? How about we come together?"
"Haha, okay."
Xiao Chen smiled and nodded.
"Senior, how to get to District 7?"
"What? You're going to District 7?"
The swordsman's eyes widened.
"Well, there's nothing interesting outside. I plan to go see the ancient war souls and dragon souls..."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"..."
The strong swordsman looked at Xiao Chen, then thought about his strength, and held back the words that came to his lips.
"Go straight from here to the end, which is the seventh district."
Another strong man said.
"Want to get to the end? Is there no shortcut?"
Xiao Chen frowned.
"There are no shortcuts."
The strong swordsman shook his head.
"Young people, it's better to keep your feet on the ground and don't think about taking shortcuts."
"Haha, senior is right."
Xiao Chen smiled and nodded.
"Senior, let's go to District 7."
"No, you go ahead. I don't think... we are suitable together."
The strong swordsman shook his head.
"Why? Didn't senior just say that we wanted to come together?"
Xiao Chen asked deliberately.
"I'm afraid I'll stay in District 7 forever."
The strong swordsman looked at Xiao Chen and said slowly.
"It's not that exaggerated. Can't we still travel together in the first few areas? And the two seniors know more about this place than we do..."
Xiao Chen invited.
"When you reach the fifth area, you can just stop and we will continue moving forward."
"this……"
The strong swordsman hesitated for a moment, looked at the other strong man, and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's go."
Then, a group of five people walked forward.
Soon, Xiao Chen and the others also saw ghosts.
They come in all shapes and are in an unconscious state. Not only do they attack people, they also kill and devour each other...
"What do you think they look like?"
Xiao Chen waved his hand and scattered a ghost without bothering to absorb it.
"Like what?"
Hua Youque is curious.
"Big fish eat small fish?"
"No, like a greedy snake...either eat others or be eaten by others, and then you can strengthen yourself and become stronger."
Xiao Chen smiled.
"..."
Several people were speechless, but after Xiao Chen said this, they found that they were somewhat similar.
"Why don't you say they are raising Gu? They eat each other and merge with each other, growing stronger and stronger... By the way, are the areas here clearly divided? For example, can the ghosts in the first area go to the second area?"
Chifeng asked.
"Yes, but there is an instinct that prevents them from going easily... Of course, it may also be a matter of rules mentioned by the Xiao Clan Master."
The strong swordsman replied.
"I sensed a lot of powerful people just now. Why are they all in the first area, instead of going to the fifth or sixth area?"
Xiao Chen thought of something and asked.
"Some people have just arrived, some have never been here before and don't know much... Others think it's too dangerous inside. It's not bad in the first and second areas. Although the ghosts are weak, mosquito legs are still flesh no matter how small they are.
"
Another strong man explained.
"Like the fifth area, there are not many powerful ghosts. Instead of going to the fifth area to look for them, it is better to kill more ordinary ghosts in the first and second areas. The effect will be the same."
"It should be different."
Xiao Chen thought for a while and shook his head.
"A ghost that can give birth to its own will is completely different from these ordinary ghosts... Of course, you are just absorbing energy, so the difference is really not big."
He didn't say much. If he were to devour it, it wouldn't just be energy... so there is still a difference.
"A ghost that can give birth to consciousness must be more advanced, but someone has tried it. Except when it dissipates, the energy is more and more intense, and the quality seems to be the same..."
The strong swordsman said.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded and didn't explain more, because even if he explained, they couldn't understand.
The energy absorbed by ordinary ancient warriors may only be a little... leftovers?
Of course, these scraps can also strengthen your soul.
For them, it's enough.
He now felt that even if those ghosts who gave birth to their own will were 'killed', after dissipating, the will may not be dispersed. If it is condensed, it will still be the same.
"By the way, what will they do if they kill the ancient warrior?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"Maybe it's also about swallowing the soul."
The strong swordsman thought for a while and said.
"When a person dies, he or she dies... I don't know what they will do."
"There is something wrong with the rules of this world. After a strong man dies here, will his soul last forever? Or will he turn into a high-level ghost?"
Xiao Chen's words were astonishing.
"You mean... even if you die, you will still exist in the Dragon Soul Cave?"
Everyone's eyes widened.
"It's not impossible. Of course, these are just my guesses."
Xiao Chen shook his head, waved his hand, and smashed another thick fog-like ghost.
He thought of the old patriarch of the werewolf clan. Doesn't this old guy mean that his soul will live on forever after death?
"I don't know if that old guy can become king if he comes here... I guess running rampant in the seventh district won't be a big problem, right?"
Xiao Chen muttered in his heart and shook his head again.
The old leader of the werewolf clan could not leave the Ouse Mountains... Now it seems that there may be some problems with the rules of that world.
Otherwise, how could the old patriarch be trapped and prevented from leaving?
Thoughts flashed through his mind. Xiao Chen stopped thinking about it and went to the seventh district to take a look. Maybe there would be some unexpected surprises.
