Shen Lang felt that this Blood Shadow Magic was incredibly powerful, and he didn't know how difficult it would be to practice.
The black-robed venerable then briefly described the practice method of the Blood Shadow Magic Art.
First of all, the prerequisite for practicing the Blood Shadow Magic Art is that the monks must cultivate an "external Dharma Body" as a container to carry the "Blood Shadow".
The so-called external Dharma body is roughly equivalent to the unique Dharma body born after the fusion of the monk's split soul and the power of his own will.
The external Dharma body is different from the clone. A monk's clone can generally move independently of the main body, while the external Dharma body still needs to rely on the physical body of the main deity to move.
It's a bit complicated to say this. To put it simply, it is the self that is reborn after the monk's soul and will power are split, which is equivalent to a clone without a physical body.
The external Dharmakaya is generally attached to the monk's deity, and will only manifest itself in some form of energy when needed by the deity. For example, the "blood shadow" characteristic of the Blood Shadow Magic is transformed by the external Dharmakaya.
At the beginning of cultivating the Dharmakaya outside the body, the Dharmakaya will generally not have any personality expression, and will not even be born with spiritual wisdom. It is basically equivalent to a puppet controlled by the deity.
However, the vast majority of monks have seven emotions and six desires, and the Dharma body outside the body often absorbs negative emotions in the deity. If things go on like this, it is easy to develop a negative character that is independent of the deity.
The Blood Nerve is also a cult, and falling into it can easily lead to inner demons and the desire to kill.
Therefore, for monks who practice blood nerves, their outer body can easily absorb the negative emotions of the deity, thus giving birth to evil thoughts, and greatly separating the monk's own good thoughts and evil thoughts.
If things go on like this, the character of the monk's deity and external dharma body will evolve into two extremes, roughly showing good thoughts and evil thoughts.
Sometimes good thoughts will temporarily dominate the physical body, and sometimes evil thoughts will dominate the physical body. The monk's own good and evil thoughts can hardly reach a balance. This is also the biggest drawback of cultivating the blood nerve!
Once a monk's mind is unstable, it is easy to be dominated by the character of the Dharmakaya outside the body, leading to some out-of-control and outrageous actions.
In fact, no matter how calm a monk's mind is, he will always have negative emotions. As long as negative emotions arise, they will be absorbed by the Dharma body outside the body. It is difficult to prevent the Dharma body from losing control, causing the personality of the deity and the Dharma body to split.
For this reason, it is basically difficult for monks who practice blood nerves to escape the dilemma of split personality.
Deng Yin was like this, and Zhen Yuanzi was like this too.
I wonder if Zhang Daoling is like this too...
Listening to these shortcomings mentioned by the black-robed master, Shen Lang couldn't help but ask: "Dare I ask the black-robed senior, is there really no way to eliminate the shortcomings of blood nerve cultivation?"
The black-robed venerable sighed: "It is almost impossible to eliminate this drawback. Only those who have no desires and no pursuits can avoid having evil thoughts in their Dharma bodies. But how can people who have no desires and no desires cultivate the blood nerves?"
?”
"Furthermore, the blood shadow magic skill in the upper part of the blood nerve focuses on swallowing the souls and wills of other living beings in order to strengthen one's own blood shadow...Such a fierce and sharp method can more easily encourage the evil thoughts of the Dharmakaya."
The black-robed venerable said calmly.
Shen Lang was silent for a while, then frowned and said, "According to what the black-robed senior said, if the junior chooses to cultivate the blood nerves, he may also be swallowed up by the Dharma body he cultivates?"
The black-robed venerable said solemnly: "Under normal circumstances, this is very likely to be the case. But you are the chosen one, not an ordinary monk."
"The upper limit that different monks can reach by cultivating blood nerves is different, which depends on the amount of heaven and earth energy they can condense. The more heaven and earth energy a monk can achieve, the higher the upper limit he can reach."
"You are the Chosen One, and the Dharma Body you have cultivated naturally contains a huge energy of heaven and earth. It may not be so easy to change your mind..."
"Of course, all this is just my guess. If you give up now, it's still too late." The black-robed venerable said indifferently.
As soon as these words came out, Shen Lang was indeed a little hesitant. After all, the hidden dangers of cultivating the blood nerves were not small.
But now, he is unwilling to give up at this juncture.
"Senior Black Robe, I have already made up my mind to practice this blood nerve no matter what!" Shen Lang said solemnly.
Yuanshi Tianzun is deliberately trying to control everything, but he is afraid that it is not that easy to deal with.
Shen Lang felt that he might not be able to defeat Yuanshi Tianzun with the help of others alone. The only hope was this blood nerve.
