Chapter 90: Seeing Divine Consciousness with the naked eye
If you are afraid of death, you may not live. If you want to die, you may not die. A disdainful smile appeared on Chen Taizhong's lips.
He patted Scar on the shoulder and said, "Okay, this is not a safe place... let's go first."
The two of them discussed it and decided that there wasn't any good place nearby, so they decided to head to Qumu Town, where the young Flame Turtle was very close, and they might be able to find a secret vault or something.
It was getting late at this time, and they didn't have to rush so much, so they found a valley to rest. With their strength, they didn't need to be afraid of anyone to rest in such a valley.
After setting up camp, Chen Taizhong began to meditate, and other matters related to the catering tent were left to Wang Yanyan.
During today's battle outside Morrowind Castle, his spiritual power rose and fell sharply twice. Such a large washout caused his Qi to be unstable. It is said that this is not a good thing and needs to be carefully adjusted.
But now he is stuck at the bottleneck of Youxian's attack on Lingxian. Such unstable energy actually provides him with an opportunity to attack Lingxian.
In particular, Wang Yanyan's decisive shout made his blood surge and his chest suddenly filled with pride. He actually found the feeling of looking down on the world before ascending - the relaxation of his mind also had a great influence on his breakthrough.
Chen Taizhong meditated for about two hours and found that although the bottleneck had been loosened a lot, it could not be solved overnight, so he simply stopped and got up. Just at this time, Scar had also prepared the meal.
When the two were eating, they talked about what happened during the day. Only at this time was Chen Taizhong willing to chat more with Wang Yanyan - his life was all about cultivation.
After hearing this, he was puzzled as to why Morrowind Castle released Scar - he had killed a second-level spirit immortal and a ninth-level wandering immortal.
What he didn't expect was that although the second-level spirit immortal was powerful, in the eyes of the eighth-level spirit immortal, it was just that.
What does Wen Zengliang, an eighth-level immortal, mean to anyone in the eyes of Dong Mingyuan, a ninth-level immortal? Even if he does it, he would be ashamed of himself.
In short, it is better to let people go than to kill them. Chen Taizhong nodded, "It seems that the assassination I threatened has had a certain effect. In the future...should I be more high-profile?"
"Don't do it," Wang Yanyan was so frightened that she quickly advised him. "Once a casual cultivator makes a high profile, what awaits you will either be wooing or strong suppression...Master, your cultivation level is still too low."
"You still have the nerve to say that my level is low?" Chen Taizhong felt like he had been poured cold water on him, so he had to look at her angrily, "Hurry up and break through to the ninth level of Youxian, so as not to hold me back."
"Even if I'm at the ninth level, I can't be stronger than you." Wang Yanyan completely understood her master's perversion today, and she actually ran away alive under the nose of the eighth-level spirit fairy, "Unless you can teach me how to do it."
That invisibility."
"I can't teach you this," Chen Taizhong waved his hand, "It has to do with my basic exercises, unless you are willing to delete your account and practice again."
"Delete the account and try again?" Wang Yanyan was stunned. What does this mean?
"Just practice from scratch," Chen Taizhong answered casually, and then muttered softly, "It's not an online game. In the real world, it's impossible to do it."
The master's words were so strange. Wang Yanyan shook her head, but the next moment, she thought of it. The master had ascended from the lower world, and it was normal for her to have some words that she didn't understand.
Seeing him put down the dishes and stand up, she hurriedly said, "Master?"
"Huh?" Chen Taizhong looked back at her. For the first time, he saw a hint of embarrassment on her face, "Say!"
Wang Yanyan hesitated for a moment, then spoke coyly, "I want to ask you, do you have any lightning protection magic weapon?"
"Oh," Chen Taizhong nodded. He realized why she was so embarrassed, so he laughed loudly, "I was knocked down from the tree by lightning today... It's hard for you to land in such a difficult way."
"Master," Wang Yanyan stomped her feet angrily. When she fell from the tree, her whole body was stiff and she landed on her butt first. Her posture was as indecent as possible.
"Okay, this storage bag is full of defense weapons," Chen Taizhong threw a storage bag to her, "You can choose it yourself."
Scar's performance today satisfied him very much. Chen was not a stingy person, so he let her choose.
Next, he did not rush to pass the test, but took out the jade slip obtained from the Li family and examined it carefully.
The name of the jade slip is very vague - "Exploration Technique", and the introduction to the technique is also confusing, as if it was cut out of a paragraph from a book.
Chen Taizhong thought at first that he had been deceived by the Li family again, but after reading it, he was convinced that this should be absolutely authentic - why do you say that? Because this jade slip tells very little about the practice of magic.
, mainly talking about the principles.
"Spiritual consciousness visible to the naked eye" - this is what the probing technique is about.
Generally speaking, spiritual consciousness is perceived by the sea of consciousness and has nothing to do with the eyes. As the so-called human six consciousnesses "eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind" all have related responsible parts.
Your ears won’t know whether the food is cooked well, and your nose won’t know how to take the road ahead.
So looking at spiritual consciousness with the naked eye is really nonsense.
But this jade slip says that it is indeed possible to see spiritual consciousness, but it requires relevant training.
Just like the tongue tastes the food, but a well-trained nose can basically smell it - a real expert can smell the saltiness of the food through the nose.
Using spiritual consciousness to observe people is because the sea of consciousness is controlling it in order to obtain relevant information, so it is easy to be discovered. If the sea of consciousness does not control the spiritual consciousness, the chance of being discovered is much smaller.
But... can spiritual consciousness that is not controlled by the sea of consciousness still be called divine consciousness?
So the jade slip proposed another concept, called spiritual consciousness fragments - since powerful figures can split their spiritual consciousness and refine their clones, it is not a big problem for ordinary cultivators to split some spiritual consciousness.
The split spiritual consciousness is sent out from the eyes. After practicing for many times, the eyes can observe the reaction of the spiritual consciousness before it dissipates.
As long as you are a cultivator, you will instinctively reject any will around you that does not belong to you - no matter how weak or inconspicuous this will is.
The principles of jade slips are roughly the same. Then a series of practice processes are introduced.
There are three things to note:
First, there is great pain in the process of splitting consciousness;
Second, seeing spiritual consciousness with the naked eye requires long-term training. In other words, one must master this skill proficiently and endure the long-term pain of spiritual consciousness splitting. Failure to master the skill is only related to the will of the cultivator.
It has nothing to do with this technique;
The third is, when using this technique, try to look with the corner of your eye instead of looking directly, otherwise you will be easily discovered.
What’s particularly interesting is that there is also a sentence written in the jade slip. “If a cultivator is willing, he can also try to emit spiritual consciousness through the ears. Think about it... you can hear the other person’s cultivation level just by listening.
This is such a heaven-defying skill, why don’t you give it a try?”
Unexpectedly, there are such interesting cultivators in Fenghuang Realm. Chen Taizhong smiled and shook his head. He planned to follow the instructions in the jade slip and split his consciousness first.
The next moment, he took a breath of cold air and muttered with a grin, "I'll strangle you. This is called extremely painful... This is so painful that I can't bear to live."
"Master, what did you say?" Wang Yanyan, who was picking out armor, turned and looked over.
"It's okay," Chen Taizhong replied through gritted teeth, his voice trembling slightly - it really hurt.
Mr. Chen is a self-proclaimed tough guy and has never been afraid of pain. Even pulling out the marrow finger is a trivial matter. However, this splitting of consciousness is really not an ordinary pain. It is a splitting headache, and there is a Hong Zhong Da Lu knocking hard in the ear + a sharp ax on the head.
That feeling.
The confusion and pain of not being able to distinguish things, if left to a person with a weak will, may lead to a mental collapse.
Chen Taizhong was a determined man. After trying several times and failing more than a dozen times, he actually discovered that he could really "see" his own consciousness.
It's not that he really saw it, but... it was that feeling. He could feel the process of the spiritual consciousness that had been divided and floated out, slowly dissipating in the air.
He even felt that he could feel it purely through intuition without using his eyes.
"It happened overnight, man, I'm really a genius," he nodded happily, took a deep breath, and relaxed, "You need to be careful when practicing this technique, and you can't practice it too frequently... Isn't this nonsense?"
The next moment, he covered his head and rolled on the ground. While winking, he clenched his teeth and tried not to make a sound of pain.
Damn...this is really too much, it hurts too much.
His consciousness is extremely powerful, very stable and solid, but he has never split his consciousness before, and he split it more than a dozen times in one night. Although there is not much in total, it hurts to cut flesh with a small knife!
After all, Chen Taizhong didn't cry out in pain, but one look at his rapidly twitching nose and the sweat all over his head showed how much pain he endured.
I don't know how long it took for him to stop rolling and sit up. His first reaction was to see what Scar was doing - if she saw him, his majesty as a master would really be ruined.
Well, fortunately, Scar had his back to him and was sitting cross-legged in another spirit gathering array meditating.
Chen Taizhong also calmed down, endured all the discomforts in his head, began to meditate to regain his breath, and worked hard to repair the consciousness he had lost during the night.
The loss of spiritual consciousness is not irreparable, just like qi and blood. As long as there is not a large loss, it is not a problem if you focus on warming it up.
The next day was cloudy, and when Chen Taizhong finished his work, it started to rain lightly.
Not far away from him, Scar held up a big umbrella in the rain. She was cooking under the umbrella, and a scent of fragrance passed through the drizzle and reached his nose.
Taking a deep breath intoxicated, smelling the moist fresh air and the aroma of food mixed with the air, and feeling the silence and tranquility around him, Chen Taizhong narrowed his eyes happily: This is the fairyland life I want...
…
"Master," Scar heard his movements and raised his head to look over while cooking with a spatula, "last night, you were rolling around...are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
