I felt that the soul in the array demon was somewhat familiar, so I had no intention of killing him. If I could subdue this array demon and exchange the consciousness of the soul in its body, I might be able to find out the reason for arranging the array through that soul.
Some clues about people.
Thinking of this, I intensified my investigation with the power of my mind. I wanted to find out who the soul was.
The strength of this demon array was not high, and it was unable to move under the pressure of my power, so I soon discovered the power of my mind.
This soul is none other than the Holy Dharma Envoy Xilong who escaped back to the temple that day.
Didn't he follow the temple into the eternal stars?
After discovering the identity of the soul, I asked: "Can you understand what I said?"
The demon nodded.
It seems that it does have very high spiritual awareness.
I asked: "Who are you?"
The demon screamed for a long time, but could not say a word.
It seems that this demon can't speak human words. I used the power of my mind to communicate with it, and it said: "I am Xilong. I know that I am no match for you, and I don't want to attack you, but this body
It’s not mine, I can’t control myself!”
I was surprised and said: "The consciousness of this magic array is you and nothing else. You say you can't control this body?"
Xi Long said: "Yes, my consciousness here only acts as a medium to make this formation come alive. After entering this formation, I found that my soul was imprisoned in it, completely becoming a puppet."
I can feel that Xilong did not lie to me.
I asked Xilong how its soul got into that formation.
Xilong said: "That day I escaped back to the divine city, and the temple arranged for me to reshape my body. But before I could successfully reshape my body, you guys came and killed me. I originally thought you would be killed by the temple, but I didn't expect the result.
But it was beyond my expectation.”
"When I was about to be defeated in the temple, I escaped through a backup formation in the temple. It was left by the Holy God back then, saying it was just in case, but he didn't use it. Instead,
Saved my life."
"After my soul left the temple, it kept running away."
"But after escaping for a while, I didn't know what was going on, so I turned back to the entrance of Yuanshen City. When I got here, the formation was there. I felt curious and went over to take a look, but
Unexpectedly, as soon as my soul got close to that formation, it was sucked directly into it."
"Then I became a puppet. After about twenty days, I found that the formation became alive, and I had no way to get out of this formation."
When Xilong said this, I quickly explored the situation in the body of the array demon. This array demon was reorganized by the magic array. Its body was still the structure of the array, but as the magic array hatched, the array in its body changed.
The structure has evolved.
It absorbs the spiritual energy around it to replenish its body with nutrients and keep itself alive. Its strength will not increase, but it can continue to live.
Until there is no more spiritual energy left between heaven and earth.
However, this spiritual energy is not so easily consumed. You must know that after the monks improve their cultivation, they can produce spiritual energy themselves. Part of the spiritual energy is stored in their own bodies, and part of it needs to be dissipated and replenished to this avenue.
No matter how powerful the monk's magical power is, there will always be spiritual energy flowing out of his body.
Even if you hold your breath to hide your traces, it is only temporary. You cannot stay closed for a lifetime. There is always a time limit.
Moreover, holding one's breath for too long can lead to sluggish qi and blood in one's body, which will have a great impact on one's cultivation and body.
Therefore, people are the source of spiritual energy in this avenue. As long as people are immortal, this people-centered avenue will never be destroyed.
Looking at that formation, I thought a lot about it.
The Cursed Insect also said something in my mind at this time: "Your analysis makes sense. The avenue is also evolving. When it reaches the people-oriented avenue, it has found a way to balance the power of the avenue."
I said "hmm" and turned my attention back to the array demon.
Since this spiritual power cannot be exhausted, and the strength of this demon formation will not increase, what is the meaning of its existence?
When I was thinking about this problem, Xi Long told me: "Killing people, after the formation demon is fully mature, he will start to kill people. Since people can produce spiritual energy, he will kill people to feed on spiritual energy. He only absorbs spiritual energy and cannot absorb it all."
, but people can always be killed, right?"
"As long as the rate of killing exceeds the rate of human reproduction, humankind will one day become extinct."
kill?
Hearing what Xi Long said, I couldn't help but say: "If what you said is true, then tens of thousands or even millions of formations will probably be needed in this upper world to kill people on a large scale."
Xi Long said: "That's true. I can feel that somewhere in the upper world, such formations have begun to appear on a large scale, and that place is east..."
Before Xilong could finish speaking, its body exploded with a "boom".
I quickly used Starry Sky Walk to reach Mai Xiaorou and Nangong Fanxong, and then flew away with them.
None of us were injured.
Look, the demon array has self-destructed and disappeared, and Xilong's soul has also completely dispersed.
I couldn't help but frowned. The self-destruction of this array demon was not controlled by someone, but there was an array mechanism in its body. Once the soul in the array began to leak important information, the mechanism would trigger the array.
self-destruction system.
The design of this magic array is really exquisite.
However, Xilong said that the place where there is a large-scale magic array is "east or something". Will it be the east of the human race? Or the east of the third race?
Or is it the east side of the demon clan?
Or is it a place name starting with east in the upper world?
The word "东" is used as a clue. It covers a wide range and is not easy to find.
I took a deep breath, took out the jade pendant from the south cave hall, and asked them to search for the place with the word "东".
At the same time, I also asked the spies from the South Cave Hall to pass the news to the Human Emperor, Ten Thousand Demon King and Qianying Lord, and asked them to send people to investigate this matter.
If this magic array really exists on a large scale, it will definitely be a catastrophe in the upper world.
When I was thinking about this, I also sent the news to Perfect City and asked them to search for places with the word "East" in the Utopia fiefdom, just in case.
Suddenly, I felt that I was busy again, and extremely busy.
The array demon and Xilong's soul disappeared together. I walked around a bit and found nothing special, so I had no choice but to say: "What a mistake!"
Mai Xiaorou said from the side: "Chen Yu, I think you should understand the mystery of that formation as soon as possible, and then find a way to break that formation. When the formation is mature, it should be more terrifying than what we encountered today.
One thing, although its strength cannot grow, I always feel that it may have some weird magical powers, and we need to treat it with caution."
