Thinking of this, some of the doubts in Meng Zhou's heart were answered.
Meng Zhou always felt that there were some problems in the relationship between Lian Ziling and the second group of people from Xingxiu Palace headed by female cultivators.
There is no doubt that Lian Ziling is from Xingxiu Palace.
The second batch of people who came to Xingxiu Palace, headed by female cultivators, were all also from Xingxiu Palace.
Both Lian Ziling and the female cultivator have shown abilities beyond the level of pill formation, and they should be the new Nascent Souls of Xingxiu Palace.
However, in order to break through the Nascent Soul through the formation of pills, one needs to survive the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation, which cannot be concealed in any case.
Therefore, for both parties, each other's identities and cultivation levels are "clear cards" and cannot be concealed or concealed.
But the actual situation that happened in the Five Realms made Meng Zhou feel that the female cultivator was completely unaware of the existence of Lian Ziling. She seemed completely unaware that a Nascent Soul who was also born in the Xingxiu Palace came before her.
this domain.
Lian Ziling, on the other hand, focused on his own private work, and was completely indifferent to the arrival of female cultivators and other fellow practitioners.
All this seems very inconsistent in the eyes of Meng Zhou, a pan observer.
Now, when the thought "could this be a clone" appeared in Meng Zhou's mind, all the contradictions had the most reasonable and common sense answers.
"So, there is another Lian Ziling, the Lian Ziling standing in the light!"
"That Lian Ziling is either performing other tasks elsewhere, or is sitting in Xingxiu Sea... Anyway, it has a well-known and clear destination."
"And this Lian Ziling who quietly sneaked into this area is probably a clone of Lian Ziling secretly created to do private work for him.
Except for Lian Ziling himself, the entire Xingxiu Palace does not know of his existence."
Thinking about this, Meng Zhou was silent for a long time.
"I really want other people in Xingxiu Palace to see the true face of Lian Ziling." Meng Zhou thought with some regret in his heart.
If such a thing really happened, it would be very interesting to think about.
However, Meng Zhou finally settled on this idea.
"It's better not to cause unnecessary problems."
As long as you pay a little attention to the changes outside, you should know how rare it is to practice as quietly and freely as yourself.
As for no pain, no gain, every time you practice cultivation, there will be an obvious improvement in rewards. For other monks, that is a beautiful thing that they don't even dare to dream about.
I have such unique conditions, but if I don't cultivate and grow well, but instead focus on getting into trouble, I will really be blind, wasteful, and worse than a pig or a dog.
Meng Zhou quickly calmed down and immersed himself in practice.
Before you know it, another year has passed.
Meng Zhou, who has completed eighty seasons of reincarnation, steps towards the eighty-first spring he has experienced.
The tenth day of the first lunar month, noon.
——Hanhai Mingyue Zhentu has advanced from the master level to the grandmaster level. The efficiency of his practice has been further improved, and the total duration of a retreat has also been shortened by about half a day.
[Cultivation progress +300, eighth level of elixir formation 5225/10,000;
After finishing this retreat, Meng Zhou spent some time as usual to carefully sort out all the gains he had made during this retreat, and then he completely withdrew from the state of deep trance.
However, Meng Zhou did not wake up immediately after finishing his practice.
Instead, as usual, I followed the "footprints" left by Lian Ziling in the "World of Interpretation".
——After nearly three years of trying, Meng Zhou’s “footprint theory”, which was originally just an idea, became more and more sophisticated and skillful based on the wisdom of the past.
Not only can he be more skillful, he can also more quickly find the "footprints" left by specific existences from the vast information in the "interpretation world".
After extensive practice, he further developed and improved this "footprint theory" based on the original inspiration.
In the newly developed "footprint theory", a person's "footprint" is like a person's fingerprint, with unique characteristics.
In other words, in the world of spiritual practice, there is still the possibility of camouflaging and imitating the fingerprints left by the physical body, but the "footprints" are different, which cannot be disguised or simulated. Even if the physical body changes, as long as the inner "core" does not change, its remaining
The "footprints" he leaves will not change, they have unique characteristics that belong only to him.
The passing geese leave their traces, and the passing people leave their photos.
Theoretically, as long as a person does not live in a "vacuum environment" that is completely isolated from the world, as long as he lives in the world and interacts with other things, there must be traces that are unique to him and become a part of every moment.
They are part of the “information sea” created by the city.
Theoretically, this is a tracking method that is completely different from time retrieval, but is equally as magical.
However, the conditions for use are relatively more stringent than using "Retrospective Circle Light".
Even with Meng Zhou's unique conditions, he has both the "Transparent Dao Heart", which can be called supercomputing information processing capabilities, and the monitoring network paved by the "Transparent Round Mirror", which can ingest and update the five domains anytime and anywhere.
information within the scope.
But even so, Meng Zhou was far from being able to say that he could clearly mark the unique "footprints" of all existences in the five domains.
Fortunately, objective reality does not require him to do this.
He has at least done a special "registration" for all monks, especially those whose cultivation is above the foundation building level.
Especially monks who are in the realm of pill formation, as long as they are within the scope of the five domains, they are the targets of his key marks.
And Lian Ziling is the top priority, or in other words, all other tasks serve this core purpose.
Therefore, he clearly knew what Lian Ziling had done in the past year.
After experiencing such severe trauma that his physical body was completely destroyed and only one Nascent Soul escaped in embarrassment, Lian Ziling completely gave up everything else and focused on his own preservation.
Compared to the foundation-building elixir, although Nascent Soul monks can already achieve this, even if the physical body is destroyed, the Nascent Soul can still survive alone, but this is always temporary.
It is still a little too early and too cruel to let a Nascent Soul face the world alone, especially when he first lived in a third-level evil place like Wumenghai.
Even if some protective measures were taken, Lian Ziling's Nascent Soul still fled out in a desperate manner.
The most important thing for him at this moment is to find a physical body that he can live in.
Considering Wumenghai's environment, if his luck was too bad, he might have to travel tens of thousands of miles across the void to find a more satisfactory "skin".
Fortunately, his luck is not too bad.
Before leaving Wumenghai, he discovered a team of several practitioners.
——After several years of beast tides that swept through the entire Qingxuan Territory, the power of all evil beasts in the evil veins has been unprecedentedly weakened, especially the three third-level monsters in Tianqi Mountain, Wumenghai, and Kurosawahara.
Evil veins.
After the danger decreased sharply, its "treasure house" aspect became more and more attractive, especially after the Xingxiu Palace occupied the third-order spiritual veins, and came to search for resources in the three evil veins, the monks who searched for the souls became more and more attractive.
Come more and more.
It was also under this background that Lian Ziling's random collisions allowed him to meet several teams of monks operating in Wumenghai.
The leader of each team has a good level of cultivation, and they basically started out as fake elixirs.
One of them, the leader has the cultivation level of the second level of pill formation.
When Lian Ziling saw this, he was like a pervert who saw a peerless beauty and immediately pounced on her.
Relying on his much higher cultivation level than the opponent, he staged a "dove occupying the magpie's nest" directly in broad daylight.
He did not seize the body.
He directly invaded the consciousness sea of the monks on the second level of the Dan Formation, directly destroyed the soul of the original owner, forcibly took over the consciousness sea, and became the temporary new owner of the physical body.
——Forcibly taking over another person's body in this way can only obtain temporary ownership. The body will be like a big tree with its roots cut off, drying up little by little.
Moreover, the control will appear a bit sluggish and difficult, and it will not be able to fully reach the state of using the fingers like an arm. And as time goes by, the body's control performance will become worse and worse.
As for how long it can last, it depends not only on the cultivation level of the original owner of the body, but also on the ability of the operator.
…
After obtaining such a temporary residence for Nascent Soul, Lian Ziling ignored all the concerned glances around him and walked away.
After leaving Wumenghai, Lian Ziling came to Cuiyu Lake again.
This time when he came to Jade Lake, his purpose was very simple, to change himself into a better "skin".
Because he had spent a lot of time in Cuiyu Lake before, he knew the situation here very well.
In addition, after Qinglin Peak was once again occupied by the Xingxiu Palace, the value of the third-level spiritual lands such as Cuiyu Lake, Sanchuan Plateau, and several other third-level spiritual lands upgraded by a group of monks led by "Qihuangzi" became even greater.
Not only the original Qingxuan domain casual cultivators gathered here, but also many alchemists from the other four regions, as well as the secret forces that were hidden in any corner before, have also come here in the past two or three years.
.
——If we dig deeper, this is even one of the core causes of the complete chaos and collapse of order in the Five Realms Cultivation World.
For Lian Ziling, this has another meaning.
Sneaking quietly into the Jade Lake, he felt as if he had entered a "supermarket of his own choice". The alchemy monks who had finally established themselves here were the "skins" placed on the shelves for him to choose from.
Finally, a man with the fourth level of pill-forming cultivation and the highest cultivation level in Jade Lake became his "new skin".
As for how he controlled the body of the second level of the Dan to obtain the "new skin" of the fourth level of the Dan, with Nascent Soul sitting in the sea of consciousness, this is naturally a trivial matter not worth mentioning.
The whole process did not alarm anyone.
It was completed quietly in the cave where this monk on the fourth level of the pill formation retreated.
After obtaining a "new skin" with four layers of elixirs, Lian Ziling first disposed of the skin with the second layer of elixirs, erasing all traces of it in the world, not even leaving any residue.
Then, Lian Ziling drove this "new skin" that was much more flexible and had much better maneuverability than the previous one and quietly sneaked out of the cave and left the Jade Lake.
He still did not choose to seize the body.
Even if you are a Nascent Soul, you still have to be careful when choosing to seize your body.
For him, every time he seizes a wife, it is comparable to "getting married".
Every time he "marries off", he is polluted and deprived of his original noble aura, until there is no more "nobility" at all.
This "new skin" with the fourth level of alchemy, no matter its current cultivation level or potential level, is not qualified for him to "marry", and can only be used as a temporary skin.
He had to keep looking.
And he also has a clear target, which is the top five sects who disappeared long before the official arrival of Xingxiu Palace.
Because they also know that Xingxiu Palace has the ability to go back in time, they also pay great attention to handling the traces of time in their actions.
Either use various escape techniques, or use special talismans or magic weapons to achieve similar effects to "Qihuangzi".
Fortunately, Lian Ziling also accumulated rich experience in the process of tracking "Qihuangzi".
This is a thrilling pursuit and counter-tracking.
It lasted for nearly a year.
During this process, Lian Ziling gradually had a clearer goal, changing from a "high-level member of the Five Sects" to a high-level member of the "Jinding Sect".
There is no way, for Lian Ziling, the body of the Jinding Sect dual cultivator is really too greedy, and it is also the one that suits his appetite best and can best meet his needs.
The body of the Jinding Sect's Dharma and Body cultivation, plus the Nascent Soul of Lian Ziling.
Perfect.
If the top brass of the Jinding Sect knew the truth, they would all vomit blood and use the dual cultivation method of my sect, body, and body, which is called "The Divine Art of Wedding Clothes," and specialize in making wedding clothes for others?
First there were spirit masters and puppet masters who were greedy for our bodies and would not hesitate to dig graves to get close to us, and now there are even Nascent Souls that are spitting at us.
…
After leaving Cuiyu Lake, after nearly a year of tracking, Lian Ziling replaced two "new skins" and used these two Jiedan skins, both of which were from the Jinding Sect, as a springboard to get in touch with the real core circle of the Jinding Sect.
.
But he did not choose those four Jinding Sect ancestors.
According to the standards within the five realms, they are the top existences among the alchemy monks.
But to him, they all have the same problem, they are too old, "old and poor", and the most difficult to swallow.
Older age means limited potential. Even if you are in the highest position now, you will have the smallest room for improvement in the future.
Another one, these are all old foxes.
A "Qihuangzi" has already tortured him to death. Although the strength of these people is much inferior to that of "Qihuangzi", who can know what these old guys have prepared for him before they actually meet him.
How much backhand?
Now he just wants to find a suitable "new home" for Yuanying as soon as possible, and he really doesn't want to cause other twists and turns.
Fortunately, in addition to the four ancestors of the Jinding Sect, there is also another monk who has also reached the ninth level of pill formation.
In terms of cultivation alone, it is not much worse than the four ancestors. What it lacks most is the accumulation of experience and some specific magic methods.
