In the back mountain of Lingtai Mountain, there is a quiet stream.
Lush big-leaved bamboo trees shade the rushing river at the foot of the mountain. The banks on both sides are as steep as sharp thorns. Occasionally, the waves will stir up and cause large splashes of water.
At this time, Lin Mo was standing beside the stream, on top of a strangely towering rock.
In the past, few people came and went here, but after all, it is connected to the vast mountains. Due to the Yangtze, the beast king occasionally appears, so there are experts stationed on weekdays to prevent mountain beasts from entering the sect.
During this period, the sect was in short supply of manpower, so he took the opportunity to take up this task.
But I won't be able to do it for long.
During this period, more and more information about Huaizhou was spread, and the situation became clearer and clearer, and the sense of crisis within the clan became more and more serious.
The most intuitive thing is the execution speed of the second decree.
Originally it was just a tacit agreement to transfer disciples secretly, but now it's almost out in the open.
The speed and frequency are getting faster and faster.
It is estimated that he will leave soon.
In fact, behavior like this from the Lingtai Sect is not uncommon nowadays.
Black Buddhism is becoming more and more powerful. It is just a small force, but it is just a change of person at the top. Generally, medium-sized families and sects almost all move.
As far as Lin Mo knew, an alliance called the 'Huainan Alliance' had emerged in several large counties in Huaiping. It was composed of some surviving wealthy families and sects to join forces to keep warm.
Not long ago, the Lingtai Sect was sent to ask Mu Xin and others to take charge of the overall situation and take the lead.
Undoubtedly, he was rejected and finally left unwillingly.
Now I am also planning to move to Nanami.
This was done out of necessity.
There is no way...
It’s hard to leave your homeland. Unless there is really no other way, who would be willing to leave their hometown and start over?
What's more, I heard that the resources above the Seven Seas are far less rich than those in Chi County and Kyushu, but the environment is even worse, with sea beasts everywhere.
And even if we go to Yizhou and Yangzhou later, whether the Dragon Crossing the River can overwhelm the local snake is another story.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Looking at the rushing mountain stream in front of me, I couldn't help but be stunned.
It wasn't until the splash of water fell on his face that he came back to his senses.
"If it really doesn't work, we can only rely on force to fight and rob."
Lin Mo sighed softly, a flash of green light flashing in his eyes.
The increasingly critical situation requires more competition.
Fighting for territory, fighting for interests, and even fighting for life.
He was actually reluctant to do this, but he had to do it for the sake of his family and his disciples, so that he could live a better life.
He is not a perfect person after all.
When one can do one's best, one can release one's goodwill without hesitation, but when one's own fundamental interests are touched, one is extremely self-centered, no, to be precise, selfish.
But maybe facing this painful world with increasingly no hope, for some people, it would be a kind of luck to leave in time to avoid more misfortunes.
Gently shaking his head, Lin Mo looked into the distance.
As the mountain breeze blows, the forest sea stirs up green waves like ocean tides.
The clear mountain stream can be faintly seen, flowing into it like a blue ribbon.
Large black birds flew overhead from time to time.
He sighed slightly and stopped thinking too much. It was useless to think too much. Only power was real.
After reciting, he bowed down, stretched out his hand, and gently covered the strangely towering rocks at his feet.
Click.
Spider web-like cracks appeared on the stone surface where moss still grew, and in the center, finely broken stones were crushed into powder.
In the swirling stone mist, a gray-black stone cicada appeared in the center, flapping its transparent wings.
"Watch your surroundings, Shichan."
Know!
Gray mist filled the air, and behind the forest, a huge illusory cicada shadow passed across.
Within a radius of a hundred feet, there was a sudden silence, and all noise disappeared.
Lin Mo's expression remained unchanged, and in his wide sleeves, his fingers were playing with a sandalwood bracelet.
During this period, in addition to utilizing Shi Chan's pure energy, he also explored some ways to use it.
As Lin Mo continued to pour his attention into it, it seemed to have turned it into his own shape. It could already understand simple and easy-to-understand instructions and was driven by him.
The formed field has excellent warning and protection capabilities, which can be regarded as a powerful and useful method.
After finishing the task, Lin Mo closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and followed the path of the Stone Buddha Tathagata Sutra Sutra.
The moment I closed my eyes, everything around me slowed down.
The only thing left in my ears was the pounding of my heart, and the sound of the river hitting the rocks under my feet.
His mind is emptying.
The normal state of transformation of the body begins to increase in frequency.
Slowly progress from three dragons to four dragons...four and a half dragons...five dragons.
The five dragons were destroyed.
thump!
The heart beat violently.
The beating sound is even as loud as thunder.
In the cuffs, the fingers sliding the Buddhist string stopped, and Lin Mo opened his eyes in time.
His pupils were shimmering with gray luster, and countless gray strands were constantly swimming in his eyes like mist.
Around the heart, which is several times larger than the others, three demonic hearts are beating violently.
In the resonance, the majestic Qi and blood move along the complex route of the exercise, and along with the large amount of Tathagata energy, the fourth illusory heart slowly solidifies.
The Stone Buddha Tathagata Solitary Sutra illuminates the levels of all dharmas, and the fourth demonic heart is the demonic mind of the Son of Heaven.
The former, such as the demonic mind of troubles, the demonic mind of five aggregates, and the demonic mind of death, are internal demons, while the emperor demon is external demons.
Heavenly demons refer to those who diligently practice good deeds and seek to transcend the three kinds of demons of aggregate, trouble and death. They will be the supreme emperor in the realm of life and desire, and gain great freedom.
Compared with the three major internal demons, its demonic nature is the most intense.
In the way of the world, separation from desire is born, either here or there. Either the devil is there, or the devil is himself, and you gain great freedom. In the hands of the devil, you can do whatever you want.
What you want is to perish.
What you are seeking is the bondage of the devil. If you are not freed from the devil, you will be the devil, because you will definitely return to this world.
In other words, if you can survive, you are a stone Buddha; if you cannot survive, you are a stone demon.
Lin Mo sighed.
On the light blue talent pearl screen, the dead demon heart slowly blurred and turned into a free demon heart.
thump!
Another violent heartbeat.
The Tathagata's demonic energy, which has almost condensed into liquid, no longer follows the route of performing the exercises, but begins to penetrate deeper into the muscles, bones, tendons, and body.
He could feel that his already very strong physique was slowly being strengthened in the process.
Especially bones.
On the bones, dense gray patterns slowly appeared.
And perception is even more so, constantly expanding and extending.
Even without using the Martial Arts Heavenly Eye, just relying on divine perception, you can clearly perceive everything within a radius of ten feet, and the air around you seems to be moving like an arm.
This is the unity of heaven and man.
Lin Mo whispered to himself.
The moment he finished speaking, the words "Emperor Zi Zi Demonic Heart" solidified on the talent bead panel.
This also means the achievement of the state of freedom.
A smile appeared on his face, revealing dense white teeth.
From then on, he was the great master of Lin Mo.
Hooray!
The next moment, his smile froze, and a burst of wind suddenly came from behind.
Know!
A gray shadow broke through the air and instantly fell on his palm.
It's Shi Chan.
He seemed to be very excited at this time, his dense black compound eyes were looking at the end of the forest, and the almost transparent wings on his back were constantly flapping, making a huffing and huffing sound.
In the process of flapping its wings, bits and pieces of gray energy flowed out of its body and merged into Lin Mo's body.
"Are you also happy for my breakthrough?"
Lin Mo whispered to himself.
Naturally, Shi Chan couldn't speak, but Zhi Zhi Zhi's voice was shorter.
He slowly leaned down and slowly submerged into his palm like flowing water.
this……
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, looking at his white, empty palm.
Suddenly.
His originally fair skin began to turn a stony gray, with black marks appearing on it.
The marks are not independent, but coherent, like chains or a large number of strange stone talismans.
At this time, from the arms to the chest, slowly, it spreads all over the body.
A real feeling of power appeared in his heart, and he could definitely feel that whether it was the internal organs, flesh and blood, muscles, bones, and skin, they had all been strengthened to varying degrees.
The fourth realm, which was originally the completion of the condensation and perfection of the free demon heart, was now considered to be strengthened again.
Just like adding the last piece to a puzzle, it becomes more complete.
‘This stone cicada really has an unusual connection with the Stone Buddha Tathagata Sutra Sutra.’
The benefits of this breakthrough were greater than he imagined.
And this physical strength benefit seems not to be the main one...
Lin Mo's eyes showed a gray light.
The black energy that has condensed into substance is coiling around the body like a snake and python.
"Come out, Buddha Xuxiang."
laugh!
The black currents like snakes and pythons swelled instantly, and their number also increased. In the blink of an eye, countless black currents shot out and surrounded the body.
Ribs, arms, flesh and blood...
In the blink of an eye, a huge black-gray stone Buddha rose from the ground, more than twenty meters high.
The sky slowly darkened.
Today's Buddha's virtual appearance has become four-sided and eight-armed.
There are four faces, some are greedy, some are indifferent, some are angry, and some are evil. Their faces are vaguely similar to Lin Mo, corresponding to the four evil hearts.
The eight arms are extremely thick, and the muscles on them are like entwined tree roots, with giant tumors. They give a strong sense of power.
There is a black flame burning slowly on the Buddha statue.
Compared with before, in addition to being stronger, faster, and tougher, it also has more special abilities.
That is the suppression and pollution of Shi Chan!
Just like during the previous Lingtai disaster, huge stone cicadas lay in the mountains, making noisy cicada calls and puffing out gray mist, which was enough to isolate the will of God and affect the interaction between heaven and man.
It can also pollute the environment and contaminate ordinary warriors.
If Lingtai Sanshan didn't have the divine mark of the masters of the past, I'm afraid that just by seeing it, it would turn into a stone statue, which can be said to be extremely terrifying.
At this time, Lin Mo felt that after he summoned the Buddha's virtual form, it would be a disaster for some trash warriors or ordinary people.
Even if you are careful, if you are not careful, you may kill a large number of people...
He thought for a moment and tiptoed.
Bang!
The whole person fell directly into the mountain stream.
The huge Buddha's virtual image suddenly suppressed a large wave, raising the water level to a higher level.
The splashing waves were falling in the air at this time, and under the sunlight, there was even a faint hint of colorful rainbow light.
As the large ripples swayed away, bubbles began to appear on the river surface, and black shadows appeared one after another.
That is a river animal in the water.
Compared to land, there are many more species of animals in sea and river areas.
To a certain extent, it has also hit the water transport and canal transport industries.
In Lin Mo's mind, he could sense hundreds of auras swimming towards him rapidly.
Among them there are weak ones who are just determined to make a living, and there are also strong ones who are comparable to the masters and even the great masters.
Close... getting closer...
He saw it too.
Those were weird-looking fish, shrimps, and snakes.
finally……
Wow.
After being more than ten feet away from the end of the forest, the river beasts that looked like bloodthirsty sharks began to move slowly, as if they had fallen into amber and stopped moving.
There are gray spots on the body.
Slowly, the whole body turned gray, like a stone sculpture.
Falling directly to the bottom of the river.
A look of compassion appeared on Lin Mo's face, and he couldn't bear it.
He did not actively activate the Buddha's virtual phase just now, it was just a passive effect.
But even this caused these river beasts to turn into stone statues.
Kneel down before him.
"Having all sentient beings turned into stone and becoming one forever is indeed a way to avoid pain; when turned into a stone statue, the body will curl up and most likely fall to its knees. It makes sense to say that it is taking refuge in the stone Buddha..."
Lin Mo recalled the profound meaning of the sutra in the Stone Buddha Tathagata Sutra and became slightly silent.
"Everything is fine, but with this method, it would be better to call him a great devil than a great Buddha."
He felt a little emotional in his heart.
The huge Buddha image behind him suddenly turned into black smoke, and slowly returned to his body like a whale sucking water.
After feeling the emotion, I felt relieved.
That's right, in this troubled world, Lin Mo cares more about whether the power is strong. As for good, evil and evil, he doesn't care. If it is really a devil, it doesn't matter. If it is true, it will definitely make people afraid and gain more peace. .
Immediately afterwards, comes the Nine Transformations of True Spirit.
Whether it is a tailed fox from the Qingqiu lineage, a Qiong Shang with a whirlpool skill, or a king general from an evil sect, they are all top-notch goods.
At the same level, the strength of the two people from the Thousand Feather Realm who came behind was far inferior to the first three.
With the concerted efforts of the five people, the materials for the next stage of the Nine Transformations of the True Spirit were gathered together.
In fact, the Nine Transformations of True Spirit began to gain power not long ago.
This time it was not as grand as before.
Because the true spirit has nine changes, three changes and one hurdle, similar to the first, middle and later stages.
This second change is similar to the silent absorption and strengthening of moisturizing materials.
Lin Mo is now just digesting and finishing.
Regarding the absorption of abilities, this time he was not so lucky, and did not meet a similarly qualified ability like Zongzheng Zhanba Qiantong.
After three days.
The Nine Transformations of True Spirit are finally completed.
What fits him best is Qiong Shang's whirlpool ability.
Its fusion with the ability of the Holy Demon Yuan Fei makes Lin Mo stronger in defense, and also possesses an ability similar to gravity and repulsion.
Next is the Dong Wangjia of Wang Jiangzi.
He did not inherit the sharp black knife ability that he wanted most, but only grabbed the ability to release black ground thorns.
Let’s consider it a remote method.
As for Wei Hu and others, it only made Lin Mo physically stronger, his magic power more powerful, and the abilities he had acquired before were strengthened.
