After thinking about Ji Junshi, many dusty memories of Li Yan came to mind again.
Nowadays, he no longer hates Master Ji that much. Although the other party harmed him, it was precisely because of this person that Li Yan entered the door of cultivating immortals.
Li Yan is no longer as interested in the lineage of cultivating immortals as he used to be. He tries his best not to think of it, but now he is full of doubts and confusion.
He felt that there were some things that only these ants who traveled all over the continent looking for immortals could possibly know the answers.
Originally, Li Yan thought that after returning from Fengshen Continent, with his late Nascent Soul strength, he could try to dive into the depths of the pool again to explore, but in the end, he ascended inexplicably, and the plan came to nothing.
Now that these things are entangled together, the only clue Li Yan has is the "long underground alley" that appears here.
Therefore, Li Yan could only think about everything related to it in detail, but until more than an hour later, he still couldn't figure out too many clues.
Later, Li Yan also took out the broken clay pot. This thing was definitely related to the Soul Prison Clan.
Although Li Yan is not a true master of soul cultivation now, compared to before, his understanding of the power of the soul is completely different.
After taking out the broken clay pot, he carefully sensed it and found that there was still a trace of faint soul power inside, and the rest was like a dead thing.
Immediately, Li Yan suspended the broken pottery pot in the void in front of him, began to use magic techniques, and continued to try various soul techniques...
Half a day later, Li Yan's expression slowly changed from pensive to helpless.
He finally had to give up thinking about this matter. The broken clay pot, no matter how he drove it, remained as motionless as a dead thing!
Li Yan had no choice but to keep all his questions in his heart for the time being.
After thinking for a while, his spiritual consciousness entered "Tuban", and soon arrived at the place where he kept the Gu worms. He first sent messages from his mind to some Gu worms, and then withdrew his spiritual consciousness.
Then he waved his sleeves and planted some Gu insects around himself.
He was about to enter seclusion, and this time he would enter deep meditation. Although the cultivating monks still had a rough estimate of the passage of time, Li Yan was still afraid of missing the hundred-year deadline.
If the five tasks are not completed by then, he will be severely punished by the sect.
Therefore, he still ordered these Gu insects to wake him up in his eightieth year. He didn't know how difficult the five tasks were, so he thought it would be better to set aside more time.
After doing this, Li Yan took out a soul slip, injected soul power into it, and burned an exercise into it.
Although the monk has a very strong memory, Li Yan still likes to burn out unfamiliar exercises and study them slowly.
After you become familiar with the cultivation process, you can either put something like the soul slip of the technique into the "soil spot", or destroy the soul slip directly.
As for the so-called martial arts that cannot be taught to outsiders? In the "Earth True Realm", of course Li Yan will completely abide by it and dare not go beyond it.
But if he could leave here, apart from the Guishui Immortal Sect Technique and the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique, he would of course be able to give all the other techniques in his hands to whomever he wanted, including of course the techniques from the Zhenhun Palace.
For example, in the future, if Gong Chenying and Zhao Min are willing to practice, Li Yan will definitely take it out without reservation. After leaving here, he will not care about any broken rules in Zhenhun Palace.
Li Yan held the soul slip in his hand and put his soul power into it again. First, what he sensed with his soul power were six big characters - "Sacred Soul Transformation Opening Chapter".
What he finally chose was the "Holy Soul Transformation" technique. After browsing many techniques in Chuanfa Pavilion, Li Yan finally chose this technique.
This technique has the same nature as the Guishui Sutra. One focuses on the basic cultivation of mana, and the other focuses on the power of the soul.
And compared with other exercises, the price of this exercise is not too expensive.
Li Yan plans to spend five years practicing. If he doesn't make any progress in five years, he will give up this skill immediately.
As for soul skills, although there are many choices, after thinking about it, Li Yan felt that his foundation in soul cultivation was still too weak, so he planned to practice the "Holy Soul Transformation" while continuing to practice basic soul skills.
After laying a solid foundation, he would then look for a suitable soul technique. After having these plans, Li Yan began to think carefully about the soul slip...
Even he himself did not expect that Li Yan's practice would go by year after year.
Winter passes and spring comes, autumn passes and winter solstice comes!
As the years have changed, it seems that Li Yan has never appeared in Zhenhun Palace. He only showed up on the same day when he entered the sect.
After that, he completely disappeared. Li Yan practiced this practice and the door of the practice room was closed for thirty years.
However, similar to this situation, this is actually the most normal for the monks who have just entered the Soul-Suppressing Palace.
Once they enter Soul Soul Palace, they will be like Li Yan, basically they can't wait to buy the exercises to practice. This is their biggest purpose of entering the sect, which is to quickly improve their cultivation level.
Although there is a hundred-year mission limit, every new disciple will basically choose to accept the mission after a period of one hundred years.
…………
On this day, in the training room where Li Yan was retreating, he was sitting cross-legged, his long hair hanging on the ground, and his eyes slightly closed.
At this moment, there were piles of gray stones in front of him, which were pieces of spiritual stones whose spiritual energy had been exhausted.
Not far away, there were six or seven black beetles, lying there quietly. Each of them was as big as a civet cat, and they were distributed around Li Yan.
These were the "Tiger-Eating Gu" that Zhao Min gave him. This kind of Gu was extremely ferocious, but at the moment, all of them had their eyes closed, motionless like millstones.
There is no hint of murderous intent, but as long as there are living beings approaching Li Yan, they will launch the most ferocious attack.
Li Yan, who was sitting cross-legged, had no mana fluctuations on his body, and even his breathing had almost disappeared. This was exactly the symptom of a monk entering deep meditation.
In fact, at this time, Li Yan's three souls in his body seemed to have flown away from his body, traveled through the void, and entered a vast unknown space.
Li Yan, dressed in black, was flying slowly in a black space. Above his head, there was a sky full of stars.
Li Yan no longer knows how long he has been flying here. There is only the dark night and stars here, but he has never been able to find a star that can echo him from a distance.
The person he is here is made of three souls.
The "Holy Soul Transformation" technique requires you to refine the Yang soul and Yin soul, and finally transform them into the sun and moon, but if the three souls want to transform into a cold moon, they must first transform into a star.
After the power of the stars in this star is full, you can begin to understand the essence of the moon, and then you can start to transform the three souls into the cold moon step by step.
To obtain the power of the stars, you must cultivate to the point where the three souls are united into one, with the heavenly soul as the head, the earth soul as the body, and the human soul as the limbs, which is called the "ghost spirit" body.
After you have reached this point in your cultivation, you can enter the meditation space and sense the stars in the darkness.
Li Yan didn't know if the stars in the sky here really existed, but after thirty years of hard training, he cultivated the three souls into one body.
He immediately activated the humanoid body of the "Ghost Spirit" according to the magic formula. This three-soul person with the same appearance as Li Yan immediately flew out of Li Yan's Heavenly Spirit Cap.
Then, it melted into a dark space. Although there was no wind in this space, it made Li feel extremely cold, as if he had suddenly arrived in the Jiuyou Underworld.
But when I looked around, I didn't find any underworld things like Naihe Bridge or Huangquan River. However, there were stars in the sky above my head.
These stars are either far or near, and each one shines with cold blue-white light. Some of the stars are as big as an adult's fist, and some are as small as a baby's fist.
But there are more stars as small as fingernails and ants. They fill the entire sky, but the light of these stars is much weaker, and they are even almost invisible.
Li Yan flew towards the stars high in the sky, but every time he wanted to get close to a star, an invisible force would push him away.
Li Yan knew that these stars were the "soul stars" recorded in the technique.
According to the "Holy Soul Transformation" technique, every living being in the world will correspond to a "soul star". The stronger the three souls, the brighter the "soul star" will be.
Therefore, 90% of those bright "soul stars" correspond to monks, while those stars that are almost too weak to be seen are the "soul stars" of mortals.
Whether this so-called "soul star" really exists is not recorded in the Kung Fu books, but it is definitely invisible to non-soul practitioners.
But even for soul cultivation, due to different techniques, they may not be aware of the "Soul Star". There are even exercises related to the stars in the technique. This is just the name of the "Holy Soul Transformation" technique.
However, in some soul cultivation techniques, there is also the use of stars, and those stars can only be seen during meditation, but the names and methods of use may be different.
Li Yan travels through this space, and he needs to keep searching here to find his natal "soul star".
This kind of search is very difficult. In the area you pass by, you need to constantly sense the stars that you think are suitable.
Fortunately, according to the "Holy Soul Transformation" technique, when a monk can practice to the point where the three souls merge into one, it means that your soul is already quite powerful, and the natal "soul star" that you sense is relatively bright.
Already.
Therefore, there is no need to consider those stars that are smaller than the size of a baby's fist. Those are the "soul stars" corresponding to mortals.
The stars here are not your natal "soul stars" and you will never be able to get close to them.
Li Yan understood that this should also be a kind of restriction and protection by the rules of heaven.
Otherwise, once you get close to a certain star and reach out to destroy the other star, you may be able to actually kill its body. Then here, you can kill people at will.
Of course, this statement is also recorded in the "Holy Soul Transformation" technique. As for other soul cultivation techniques, it is not necessarily true that everyone will correspond to a star.
After all, the exercises were created by predecessors. When they created each set of exercises, they created them according to their own cultivation and understanding.
The path Li Yan is taking now is just following the path explored by his predecessors and moving forward through continuous cultivation.
Li Yan kept flying under the starry sky, constantly trying to communicate with the stars he thought was suitable. Day after day passed, and in the end, he no longer knew how long he had been flying.
Even the body composed of three souls has begun to feel tired.
But he still kept flying day and night, constantly approaching every identified star, and then he was pushed away by the other party, and he continued to search again...
In the training room, another three years have passed, and Li Yan's body has become thinner. The muscles that were originally full of energy and blood have shriveled and become dull, and the blue veins are like protruding green earthworms.
In the past three years, he has not practiced the "Holy Soul Transformation", and naturally he has not breathed out the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. At this moment, his whole body has no breath, and he is like a mummy.
Li Yan's remaining vitality relies entirely on the endless circulation of magic power in his body and the continuous movement of the seven souls throughout his body.
Suddenly, Li Yan, who had been motionless, was shaken violently. With this vibration of his body, Li Yan, who was originally like a mummy, suddenly felt a surge of power in his body.
As soon as this power appeared, Li Yan's whole body was like spring rain falling down, winter was gone and spring was coming, and it was like a dead tree was blooming with spring.
Li Yan, who was already very thin, began to glow with red light, and then a majestic vitality spread out from his body in just an instant, and Li Yan opened his eyes in excitement.
A pair of pitch-black eyes first had a flash of red light. Then, a chilly feeling burst out towards the surroundings.
"Three souls return to the body!"
Li Yan shouted in his heart. Just before, he finally sensed his "soul star".
The moment it sensed the "Soul Star", the body composed of three souls was actually sucked into the star the moment it approached.
The moment his body was sucked in, Li Yan, who was sitting cross-legged in the cave, immediately returned to his body with three souls, bringing with him majestic vitality.
While Li Yan was shouting, the "Holy Soul Transformation" technique was also running at the same time. Suddenly, the power of the soul merged again and spread in the body.
The "Holy Soul Transformation" technique was running, rushing through every corner of the body, and then condensed into a pillar of wind. Li Yan felt that there was suddenly a cold power in his soul power.
The emergence of this power made his three souls seem to be gathered together by ice every moment, becoming more solid and compact.
A vortex suddenly appeared on the Tianling Cap of the golden Yuanying who was also sitting cross-legged in his Dantian. Immediately, large blue-white light spots that resembled starlight fell one after another.
These bluish-white light spots are exactly when the "Holy Soul Transformation" technique is running, forming a rotating wind column in the body, which goes straight to the Tianling Cap of Li Yan's body and goes down to the top of Yuanying's head.
Then, Li Yan felt that his physical body was covered by the heavenly spirit, which was constantly absorbing some invisible cold power between heaven and earth.
Then, this power followed the wind pillar and continuously injected into the Nascent Soul's top door at the Dantian below.
With the injection of these powers, a light spot slowly appeared on the forehead of the golden Nascent Soul, like stars.
It's just that the light of this star is very weak, flickering and flickering, as if it will go out at any time...
Three months later, Li Yan's eyes trembled slightly while he was meditating, and then slowly opened. At this time, Li Yan's eyes were as clear as a pool of water.
His pair of eyes truly turned into two deep stars. The moment his eyes opened and closed, no movement was seen on his part. A few feet in front of him, there was suddenly a loud "rumbling" sound.
.
Along with it, the entire training room shook violently, and the formation restrictions protecting the place suddenly lit up with a dazzling white light.
At the same moment, the white light flashed rapidly on the formation restriction in front of Li Yan, and there was a burst of crackling sounds, similar to the sound of arc jumping.
It wasn't until a few breaths passed that the white light slowly dimmed.
After seeing the result of the basic soul cultivation technique - "Split Soul Slash", Li Yan couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.
Over the years, he would also take time to practice his soul skills over time. Although he has not reached great success, he is very close to it.
It was used again just now. Although it only used 60% of the power, it already caused several cracks in the "Mokai" formation. This kind of power has reached the mid-stage Nascent Soul level in soul cultivation.
If he exerts it with all his strength, he can completely reach the power of the late Nascent Soul.
"Although I haven't been able to cultivate the yang soul and yin soul to the point where I can transform into the sun and the moon, I have already communicated with the "soul star" of my life, and the power of the stars has begun to accumulate in my body.
After the spell was cast, it was more than twice as powerful as before the 'Soul Star' was sensed.
And this is only when I sensed the 'Soul Star', and it is still far from the full state of star power.
As I absorb more power from the stars in the future, my attacks will continue to increase, but I don’t know if I can fully unleash the full power of my soul without breaking through to become a god..."
Li Yan weighed the effect of his previous attack in his mind. Although the "Holy Soul Transformation" was only a fragment, he could still cultivate the Yin Soul's Moon Essence in the end.
