What Gu Cheng looks at is not the appearance, but the essence of life.
He had helped Hou Tu open up reincarnation in the underworld, and he was very familiar with ghosts.
In the underworld of Hongmeng, there is the ghost city Fengdu, where countless ghosts live. Some of them are passers-by and will soon be reincarnated. Some have settled in Fengdu and become ghost residents. Zhao Wuyan is an example.
In other words, the ghost city in the underworld also has its own social structure, and the ghost clan needs Yin Qi to survive and Yin Stone to practice.
Ghosts can become immortals, leave the underworld, and walk in the heavens. In a sense, they are no better than other living beings.
This is the case with Xu Wan and Qiao Qiao now. They are bodies refined by the True Yin Yuanling. They can be divided and combined, can gather energy and disperse it, and are good at transformations in Xuan Gong.
This seems normal, but looking back, normality is the biggest abnormality!
The demon world was created by transforming the energy of the end of the law, and the demons were specially designed to carry the energy of the end of the law. The demons in the Nuwa Stone Trial were what was expected.
"I'm afraid it has something to do with the injection of the origins of the major worlds!"
His soul was too weak to get a glimpse of the truth. Gu Cheng thought about it and combined with the various variables when the demon world was opened, he quickly came up with a guess.
The creation of the demon world was originally presided over by Hongmeng, using the origin of Xuanhuang. Since the two worlds are deeply connected, the transformation will naturally go without any hindrance.
However, because the threat of Pangu Ax was too great, Gu Cheng had to avoid the demon world in order to have a chance of survival. What he did was seen as an opportunity by the Hunyuan Taozu from other worlds, and they all took a hand.
That is to say, the present demon world is mixed with the origins of the nine worlds in the heavens.
The cultivation system and cultural style of each big world were originally their own and distinct. Now the fusion of the nine worlds has created an extremely weird demon world. Even if you want to control the path of destiny, it is difficult to control it.
Disaster!
"This is good news."
Gu Cheng calmed down and began to look inward at his soul.
Not surprisingly, his condition was worse than ever.
The soul is extremely weak, not to mention compared to the peak of the Guiyuan Realm in its heyday, it is not even as good as the Holy Immortal Realm, it can be said to have fallen into the mortal world.
In fact, he would attach himself to Chongzhen's corpse, firstly because of the mutual attraction of the human emperor's dragon energy, and secondly for safety reasons subconsciously.
If it is attached to the body of a living emperor, as long as the power of destiny of Pangu Ax is slightly guided, his soul will be in danger of being refined while he is seriously injured and sleeping, and will also be calculated by the heavens and cause all kinds of hardships.
Although he is at a low point now, he has finally regained consciousness, and even his serious injuries have improved.
Moreover, Gu Cheng discovered that his soul contained three powers that were not his own.
"The power of the origin, the power of the Chaos Soul and the Pangu Axe?"
Gu Cheng's thoughts suddenly changed and he was suddenly enlightened.
Before entering the demon world, he formally attacked the Hunyuan Dao realm, which was actually a process of confronting the origin of the world and the soul of the Chaos Demon God.
Incorporating the origin and suppressing the soul means successfully entering the realm of Hunyuan Dao and becoming immortal!
The source is out of control, the soul is out of trouble, and the attacker's body is naturally gone, and his body and soul disappear!
But the current situation of Gu Cheng is that under Pangu's axe, his own soul, foreign origin and soul were severely damaged.
Not only were both lost, but the divine power of the Pangu Ax still remained in the soul. The four coexisted, forming a delicate balance.
In other words, the process of his attack on the Hunyuan Dao realm was extended indefinitely by being struck by Pangu's axe, as if the slow forward button was pressed.
"This is an opportunity. If I can absorb the power of the Pangu Ax, I will have the power to fight back when I face the most powerful artifact in the world!"
Thinking of the scene where the Taoist ancestors had no choice but to use Pangu's axe, Gu Cheng silently made up his mind.
It is not to expel the power of Pangu Ax from the body, but to refine it!
What should be faced must be faced. Even if you become the Hunyuan Daozu, Pangu's ax is still a deadly blade hanging above your head. It is better to take this opportunity to find an opportunity to defeat the enemy!
Risks and opportunities coexist!
Not to mention what they were thinking, Xu Wan and Qiao Qiao couldn't help being surprised when they saw him suddenly opening his eyes.
For people in the leftist world, refining corpses is nothing, but the identity of the person in front of him is really extraordinary. He was once the supreme king in the world. Even if the country is destroyed and people are destroyed, his power is still there.
"Dragon Qi is indeed effective, continue!"
However, the horrifying fake corpse in the eyes of ordinary people is actually a good thing for the corpse refining. Underworld Saint Xu Wan observed carefully and soon turned from surprise to joy.
brightly lit.
"The taiyin travels, the metamorphosis is strong, the sky is gathered together, the soul is sealed on the spiritual platform..."
Qiao Qiao also recited the mantra silently in her mouth, pointing out the words one after another with her fingers. Ninety-nine and eighty-one green fireflies lit up in an orderly manner on the altar, and wisps of gray air flowed towards Gu Cheng.
This is the beginning of corpse refining.
Both the demonic and leftist paths have methods of refining corpses, and even the righteous path of Maoshan has this technique, dividing the corpses into four grades of gold, silver, copper, and iron.
There are many aspects that determine the quality of corpse refining.
First of all, you need to select a corpse. The corpse must have a Yin character and die when the sun breaks or when it is Yin, in order to be used for refining the corpse;
The second step is mortuary, where the selected corpse is parked, usually for seven days, to observe the condition of the corpse and decide whether it is suitable for use;
After the first seven steps, start the third step of bathing the corpse.
The so-called "bath" is the process of refining. Only when this step is completed can we truly have the foundation for corpse refining.
Underworld Saint Xu Wan spent twenty years of hard work, collecting dragon energy and injecting it into Chongzhen's corpse, which actually completed the corpse bathing.
This step is very important, it is to lay the foundation. The more effort you spend, the better the result will be.
Xu Wan knew this truth very well, so in addition to the dragon energy, there was also the yin energy accumulated in this ghost palace for countless years, slowly pouring in through the green fireflies, like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea.
In fact, his move also merged the fourth step of corpse raising and corpse bathing together.
In normal operations, to raise a corpse, you need to choose a place with severe punishment injuries and eight gates belonging to death, bury the corpse, and nourish it with the Yin Qi from all directions underground.
Raising a corpse is a matter of time and effort. The longer the time, the deeper the accumulation of knowledge. However, Xu Wan did not want to wait another twenty years, so he took advantage of the convenience of dragon energy and wanted to do it in one go. He went directly to the fifth step to refine the corpse and become the Corpse Emperor.
, across the world.
Xu Wan's ambitions are big enough, and the savings in the Ghost Palace are even more abundant. The yin energy condenses into substance and pours into his body in a steady stream. Gu Cheng will not refuse anyone who comes.
Ninety percent of the Yin Qi is dispersed into the physical body, and the remaining 10% is condensed and refined, and is introduced into the soul for healing.
His own body is integrated into the human world. Once he achieves Hunyuan, he can immediately reshape it. This corpse is definitely not needed.
But now that he has come, he needs to be safe. He needs a support now, not to mention the future, at least out of the physical body. Based on the current state of his soul, if a thunder strikes, he will probably die.
What's more, we have to give Ming Sheng a hope so that he can work hard.
"As expected of the Supreme Being in the world, he can actually hold such a massive amount of Yin Qi. Haha, I really look forward to seeing how majestic the refined Corpse Emperor will be!"
A few hours later, the Yin Qi in the Ghost King's Palace was almost exhausted. Xu Wan's chest rose and fell slightly, his eyes were bright, and he said to Qiao Qiao:
"You stay here and go out to find some treasures from heaven and earth for me!"
