The surrounding area was dim, with dots of flames floating in the distance. Most of them were moving in a certain direction, while a few were floating around randomly.
Every bit of flame is a soul.
Among these souls, Wu Jie is the most special being. He is not a ball of flame, but a real figure. However, his figure is still a bit blurry and transparent, and he has not yet been able to condense it into a solid figure.
entity.
The realm of Tongyou can be subdivided into several small levels. The first is "knowing the ghost" - being able to feel the existence of the netherworld. This is something that can only be achieved after understanding life and death. It is also the beginning of the realm of Tongyou.
"Viewing the Netherworld" is the second step to access the Netherworld. You must be able to penetrate the spiritual tentacles into the Netherworld and even see the scenes of the Netherworld. Only after completing this step can subsequent cultivation be possible.
"Entering the Netherworld" and "exiting the Netherworld" are two sides of the same coin, referring to the soul's entry and exit into the Netherworld. This is the greatest danger in the Netherworld realm. I don't know how many casual cultivators enter the Netherworld rashly without adequate preparation.
As a result, it was found that there was no way out for a while, and the pure Yang energy carried by the soul was quickly exhausted. As a result, the physical body in the world froze, and the soul turned into a ghost in the underworld, and could no longer leave.
When Wu Jie entered the underworld in the Dragon Palace, he was able to leave easily with the help of the power of the soul of the Dragon Ancestor. If he didn't have this opportunity and spent time in the underworld without being able to leave, he could only activate a special spell on the robe
, pull his soul out of the underworld.
This spell is on the robe of every Qingyang Temple disciple, and is specially designed for each individual. Its design is very simple, it is to help disciples "come out of the underworld" without affecting their souls. But its production is difficult.
It is quite laborious and cannot be completed by non-Ningyuan monks.
Casual cultivators take risks when entering and leaving the underworld, but Wu Jie and others are in danger. The benefits of the big sect can be seen from this.
After being able to enter and exit the netherworld, the next step is to absorb Yin Qi and condense the soul. There is no risk in this step, but if the speed of absorbing Yin Qi cannot be controlled well, the Yin Qi in the soul will be too strong, which will in turn suppress the body.
The yang energy in it is not the right path of immortality. If you cannot wake up and correct it in time, you will only be able to become a ghost immortal living forever in the netherworld in the future. There is no hope of a free world, and there is no hope of ascending to heaven.
After the soul is condensed, all that's left is to stir up the Yin Qi in the soul and the Yang Qi in the body, and combine Yin and Yang to generate Gang Qi... In theory, anyone can do it, and in fact most people can do it.
Yes, as long as they don't die of old age before succeeding.
The Fire Dharma practiced by Wu Jie is indeed a supreme method that directly points to ascension. It condenses a firepower in the soul before entering the netherworld. This firepower can allow him to last longer in the underworld stage. In addition, it can
Absorbing Hell Fire, under normal circumstances it is almost impossible to enter the Hell without coming out. At the same time, because the soul can absorb Hell Fire, the speed of condensation is much faster than that of ordinary people.
The only problem is... To cultivate Gang Qi in the Fire Department Zhengfa, an extremely large amount of Qi is needed. If the Yin and Yang flames are not accumulated to a certain extent, it will be impossible to generate Gang Qi in any case.
Wu Jie secretly estimated that with his current status, he would definitely not be able to accumulate enough Hellfire within ten years.
In other words, he will definitely participate in the performance of the three teachings in three years' time at the level of Taoism.
Through Jasmine's torture of Bian Liequan, he already had a rough idea of the current situation of the Demon Sect, but the disciples of the Demon Sect were always good at hiding their strength, like poisonous snakes lurking in the grass, not showing their fangs until they bite someone. Others
Not to mention, just this Bian Liequan, if he hadn't accidentally broken the inner demon magic and the White Night Thousand Soul Banner had not been completed, Wu Jie alone would probably not be able to defeat him!
...According to Bian Liequan's opinion, as long as he is in good condition, even if the four major disciples of Qingyang Temple are besieging him, at least one or two of them will be dragged to death by him!
Although Bian Liequan, who is in perfect condition, is probably the first person in the contemporary Demon Sect to enter the Taoist realm, the three teachings perform one on one!
Therefore, Wu Jie felt an even greater sense of urgency, and entered the underworld in advance to retreat before the soul was completely condensed.
Searching for Biangan flowers, refining elixirs, and visiting his great-uncle were all done casually. The key to his application for the magic talisman to live in the Netherworld was for two things: first, to condense his soul as quickly as possible; second, to conduct simulation training.
The former is inevitable. The more powerful the soul is condensed, the better the control over spells, and the higher the natural combat effectiveness. The latter is his little ninety-nine - only in the underworld can he use the world of the Book of Heaven without any scruples.
.
The underworld is very special. This is the world of souls. No matter how advanced a person is in Taoism, as long as he has not cultivated into an immortal Yin God, he cannot hide his aura here, even if he is about to ascend to the ninth level of Huandan!
In other words, here, as long as he takes warning, he doesn't have to worry about his secret being discovered.
Some of Wu Jie's secrets are well known to everyone, such as Du Ruo; some are shady, such as Du Xin, and the souls of Wei Shu and Bian Liequan; and some must not be revealed, such as his origins.
, for example, the existence of Jasmine.
When he was practicing, he always had to be careful, lest he discover the existence of the Book of Heaven - a magic weapon that could absorb souls. It didn't look like a decent thing, right?
But even so, he also suspected that some elders in the sect had realized something, but they just didn't say eight.
The fact that they didn't say it definitely doesn't mean that he can have no scruples... The teachers and superiors gave him face, but they didn't just let him slap his nose on his face!
For example, this time he applied for a magic talisman to go to the Netherworld to practice. Master Shaoguang's smile was worth pondering. Especially the last words of the great uncle, "Very good, it should have been like this a long time ago", secretly reminded him
.
Make it clean and beautiful, so that everyone can save trouble - he felt that this might be what Shaoguang Zhenren meant.
As a master of the second level of Dan Huan, Master Shaoguang may have noticed some of his quirks, but just didn't point them out. Those words of approval may have confirmed his approach.
Using the idiom of "covering one's ears and stealing a bell", Master Shaoguang doesn't care if he steals the bell. He can even sit by and just watch, as long as he doesn't tinkle the bell so that everyone can hear it.
Going to the Netherworld to practice is undoubtedly a good way to silence the bell.
This was basically confirmed after he checked the situation of the spiritual talisman.
The magical power contained in this talisman was astonishing, far beyond the level required to "activate in the underworld for a period of time." Jasmine and Du Xin only glanced at it and determined the true purpose of this thing - it was absolutely
It cannot be used just to protect the soul, but to assist in cultivation and even combat.
Obviously, Master Shaoguang gave him this magic talisman to let him practice in seclusion in the nether world. No matter what treasure or Tao method is used, no matter how long he practices, in short, Master Shaoguang said, "I didn't see anything, Wu
It seems that he was lost in the underworld."
Being decent does not mean being pedantic. If you want to be accommodating, you can always find a way.
Wu Jie was thinking about these things while slowly moving forward in the nether world.
He didn't dare to walk too fast, let alone fly into the air with his sword, because that might attract some people he couldn't afford to offend.
There are not only mortal souls in the Nether World, there are also monks here.
The monks who died before their lifespan was over and refused to reincarnate because of their obsession; the monks who entered the underworld but failed to leave in time and turned into ghosts; the monks who made mistakes in their cultivation and eventually became ghosts and immortals...
What's worse is that due to the strong influence of Yin everywhere in the Nether World, there are often various souls mutating here, turning into various monsters and ghosts that are difficult to describe one by one. Their power may not be very strong, but it is far away.
They are more aggressive than monks and can attack any target if they are not careful.
Moreover... Wu Jie is not the only one who has entered the Nether World to practice.
Master Shaoguang warned him very seriously, "Now that the three religions are about to perform, dragons and snakes are mixed in the nether world, especially those in the devil's path. There are some spells that are astonishingly powerful in the nether world. You should be more careful."
So he would rather walk slowly in the direction where the wind blows, and not be in a hurry.
The ubiquitous dark wind in the Netherworld blows towards the River Styx. The River Styx originates from the Valley of Shadows and flows into the Sea of Netherworld, traversing the entire Netherworld. It is the most important landmark in this dim world.
Unless they are natives of this world, no matter which sect of monks they want to find here, they must first find the Styx River, and then follow the Styx River for a while to find suitable reference objects to determine their current situation.
location, and the direction in which it will move.
Of course, we are still moving along the River Styx.
When he was about to reach the River Styx, Wu Jie activated the spiritual talisman and used the power of the spiritual talisman to transform himself into a ball of ordinary-looking soul fire.
On both sides of the River Styx, there are many souls wandering around and refusing to go down the river. They are the dead who still care about the world, but they do not have the willpower to resist the attraction of the River Styx, so they can only linger here until
Finally gave up and fell into the River Styx.
There are many soul fires on the bank of the Styx River, bustling like pedestrians in a busy city. Among so many soul fires, a group of soul fires going upstream along the Styx River is naturally not conspicuous at all.
As Wu Jie walked, he carefully paid attention to his surroundings.
He is definitely not the only monk walking by the River Styx. Perhaps a certain flame around him is actually a monk pretending to be the dead. It is difficult to distinguish between good and evil among these monks, and they have various origins, so be careful
You can never go wrong.
Moreover...the beach on the bank of the Styx is not a safe place!
He walked for a while, and a warning sign suddenly arose in his heart. Without saying a word, he suddenly fell to the ground. He saw a black shadow suddenly rising from the Styx River, and in an instant it swept across a large river beach not far away, covering at least a third of it.
Er's soul was all sucked in, and before he could see clearly, he returned to the dark, calm river of Styx.
This is a strange thing called the "Netherworld Dragon", and it is also the greatest danger in the Styx River Basin!
