Chapter 980: Demon Cultivator's Life Force (Part 2)
"The life force of the art of transformation actually works like this."
Lu Kun sensed the life force in the Phantom Siren's body through his own blood essence. Fortunately, he also had this kind of energy given by the heavenly tribulation, otherwise it would be difficult to detect clearly.
He discovered that when the phantom sea monster fish was in the form, the power of life was contained in the demon elixir. As the form was about to change, part of the demon spirit power would flow out of the demon elixir carrying the power of life.
The power of the demon spirit flows throughout the body, while the power of life enters the fish-shaped spine.
As soon as the life force enters the spine, the fish-shaped bones change, like soft mud, transforming into the human bone form.
At the same time, there was also the breath of life force in the internal organs, and the internal organs began to alternately transfer. Then, under the operation of the demon spirit power, the meridians and Dantian gradually took shape, and finally transformed into the physical form of a human fish tail.
At this time, most of the life force is stored in the spine, while a small part circulates in various internal organs and meridians to maintain some stability.
When transforming from the human form back to the fish form, the internal organs and meridians in the body are first staggered and transferred. Some of the life force in the internal organs returns to the spine, and the bones also shrink, returning to their original fish bones.
Afterwards, the life force also left the spine, merged with the demon spirit power everywhere in the body, and returned to the demon elixir together, and the phantom sea monster returned to its fish form.
After sensing the changes in the Phantom Siren's body, Lu Kun murmured: "In the process of transformation, the power of life transfers through the spine!"
"Whether it is in fish form or human form, the core of the Phantom Siren's skeleton is the spine. The power of life enters the spine, thereby changing the shape of the bones. With the blessing of the power of life, the internal organs can also move and change."
"Finally, with the basic changes in bones and internal organs, the meridians and Dantian were formed."
Lu Kun once communicated with Gui Ling'er. For demon cultivators, the art of transformation is just like the innate magical power. It is an instinctive spell that can only be performed through the power of the demon spirit that contains the power of life.
But unlike him, the demon cultivator cannot sense specific changes in the power of life in the body, let alone control the power of life alone.
Now that Lu Kun understood the process of transferring the power of life in the body of the demon cultivator through the body of the phantom sea monster, a question popped up in his mind.
"The power of life helps the demon cultivator transform the physical body. It enters the spine and uses the spine as the core to transform the bones. This is understandable."
"But the internal organs are a bit strange. Why does the power of life have to be transferred through the spine, instead of being directly divided into two parts, one part enters the spine, and the other part enters the internal organs. Wouldn't it be more efficient in this way?"
With such doubts, Lu Kun continued to force the Phantom Siren to change its form repeatedly, and gradually discovered a clue.
That is, during the process of change, the life force contained in the internal organs is very little. Compared with that in the spine, it is only one-tenth. It seems that the life force that the internal organs can contain is limited.
"Is it because the internal organs are special and cannot carry the power of life?"
Lu Kun couldn't help but look at his body, mobilized the life force in his body, and transferred it from the magic energy to the bones. The magic energy entered the state of cultivation, and the physical source power that bound the phantom sea monster disappeared due to the loss of energy.
The Phantom Siren, which had just transformed into a fish form, fell into the river below with a splash. Although it lost its restraints, the Phantom Siren did not dare to move at all. It shook its fins and stayed in the river obediently.
"Hey, the power of life cannot directly enter the internal organs!"
Lu Kun looked strange. He had been in the bone metamorphosis stage for so long. He had never thought about controlling the power of life to enter the internal organs. Now he tried it and found that the power of life could not be transferred directly to the internal organs.
It seems that his life force can only be transferred through the bones. Even if it enters the muscles, it is transferred from the tendons on the surface of the bones.
The internal organs and bones are mainly connected by blood vessels, unless magic energy is used to transfer the life force from the blood to the internal organs.
But Lu Kun didn't dare to try this method at all.
Although his internal organs are powerful, they are extremely fragile compared to the bone treasure. Even his current muscle strength cannot carry such domineering energy as the magic energy.
"Could it be that the life force of the demon cultivator is the same as that of the physical cultivator? It cannot directly enter the internal organs, so it is transferred through the spine?"
"Wait, spine?"
Lu Kun's expression changed, and he suddenly thought that from the information he knew about demon cultivators, all demon cultivators who could transform at the eighth level seemed to have backbones.
In other words, these monsters are all vertebrates according to the animal classification on earth! It seems that those arthropods and molluscs have never been heard of being transformed into human form.
Lu Kun couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
Among all the bones in the human body, the vertebrae can be said to be the bones closest to the internal organs. Most of the visceral essence from the blood and flesh concentration method is stored in the vertebrae.
"So it seems that the life force can only be transferred through the spine if it wants to enter the internal organs?"
Thinking of this, Lu Kun mobilized the power of life and circulated it all into his spine.
He tried to find the connection points between the vertebrae and the internal organs, and transferred the power of life to the internal organs.
The other bones of his physical body lost the blessing of the power of life, and the destructive power intertwined with mana and magic inside spread like a heat wave to the surroundings.
The phantom sea monster felt this terrifying wave of destruction, and was so frightened that its fish scales stood up. It spit out a light yellow bubble in its mouth, and a shield composed of the demon spirit power wrapped its fish body.
I just felt a bit safe.
After a while, Phantom Siren got used to it. She looked at Lu Kun carefully and found that he seemed to have entered a state of cultivation and was comprehending something.
After some inner struggle, the Phantom Siren gave up her plan to escape and transformed into a half-human, half-fish form. She stayed on the river bed to practice. The many transformations consumed a lot of her demonic power.
…
As time passed, Lu Kun's expression became a little painful. At the same time, the internal organs in his body emitted a faint white light, and a trace of life force flowed inside.
"It's true. Through the spine, the power of life can be blessed in the internal organs."
After a while, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the pain on his face became more and more intense. He couldn't help but open his eyes with a look of doubt: "It seems that only a trace of life force can be transferred. If more, the internal organs will not be able to bear it."
"The power of life can flow all to the muscles, but only a little can reach the internal organs. Is it related to the strength of the internal organs?"
"The demon cultivator's life force can change the composition of the internal organs, but my internal organs don't seem to have changed much."
Lu Kun sensed the life force in his internal organs, and at the same time mobilized the essence and blood in his body, trying something.
At this moment, he inadvertently saw the phantom sea monster practicing in the river, and said with an expression: "Little sea monster, all of you monsters are practicing in human form?"
The phantom sea monster stopped practicing, nodded and said: "Yes, the meridians and dantian in human form are more suitable for the cultivation of demon spirit power."
When Lu Kun heard this, he became a little excited.
"When a demon cultivator practices in the human form, the life force at this time is distributed in the spine and internal organs, and the demon cultivator's life force grows simultaneously with the demon spirit power."
"Could it be said that the improvement of life force is related to the spine and internal organs!"
