Chapter 9 The sense of separation between the body and the soul
"Is this the realm of the ghost immortal?" Zhou Tong's soul flew out of the cave and said softly.
This is an unprecedented feeling. It feels like your soul and body are completely separated. Not only is the power of the soul soaring, but more importantly, the soul is completely separated from the body of the body and even directly takes over the body of other people.
"The method of practicing in the world of heaven is not like this even if the soul leaves the body." Zhou Tong pondered for a while, thinking in his heart what is the difference between the cultivation systems of these two worlds, which will cause such a situation.
During the practice of practice, Zhou Tong's original soul had left the body more than once, but he never felt this sense of separation between the soul and the body.
And most importantly, during the practice of the method of obstructing the sky, even if the physical body is destroyed, as long as the soul is still there, the physical body can be recreated; in contrast, the physical body is destroyed, but the physical body is not damaged, the physical body is likely to regenerate a new physical soul after countless years.
But the ghost immortals in this Yangshen world are different. If the body dies, change to another body. As long as it starts from the time of the fetus, it will not be too different from the body before it. If the soul is destroyed, it will not be possible for the body to be born again with a new soul.
The way of cultivation in this world is too serious in the separation between the body and the soul.
"Perhaps, this is the reason why the cultivation method in this world must be achieved by relying on the power of sentient beings to reach the other shore?" Zhou Tong had some speculation in his heart.
No more thoughts, Zhou Tong's soul returned to his body.
When the soul returns to the body, the body suddenly feels very weak, which is a symbol of depleting qi and blood. After becoming a ghost immortal, the body will feel like it is draining away the yang energy. If it is an ordinary person, if you don’t deliberately use big tonics to replenish it, the body will be weak to death little by little.
Even Zhou Tong, the human immortal body, needs to be replenished. When he broke through the ghost immortal, he absorbed too much pure yang blood from this body, making this body much weaker.
Although his body became much weaker, Zhou Tong also understood that after he became a ghost immortal, his soul was not an ordinary soul at all, and he could completely confront the kind of ghost immortal who had survived several levels of thunder tribulation.
"I don't want this for the time being, so I'd better go hunting first and replenish the consumption of qi and blood!" Zhou Tong pondered for a while, and his soul once again emerged. With a few thoughts, a huge warm wind blew violently across the entire Xishan Mountain.
For a moment, a hint of warmth appeared in the West Mountains, which was already late autumn.
"This is the ability of the ghost immortal. With a slight thought, I immediately knew everything about the entire West Mountain." Zhou Tong said silently in his heart. After he became a ghost immortal, he finally had some cultivators' means, no longer relying on his eyes, ears, mouth and nose like before.
"Hunting is much more convenient." Zhou Tong quickly locked in a strong black bear. With a roll of soul and thoughts, an invisible storm suddenly formed, immediately rolling the black bear into the air, allowing the black bear to roar and dance around, but could not break free.
"Boom!!"
Soon, the black bear fell heavily from the air and fell right in front of Zhou Tong. At the same time, the soul returned to his body, and Zhou Tong started to deal with the black bear casually.
"Click!"
After dealing with the black bear corpse, Zhou Tong's fingertips a little, the air twisted, and countless lights gathered at the fingertips and turned into a little Mars. Then he bounced his fingers, and a ball of Mars fell directly on the bear corpse.
In an instant, the heat near the entire bear corpse twisted the air. However, there was no burnt area on the entire bear corpse, and the flame penetrated into the flesh and blood of the bear corpse little by little.
This is the true sun fire condensed by Zhou Tong's huge thoughts, and his control is extremely subtle. The flames penetrate every corner of the bear meat, instantly roasting the entire black bear, and a scent of meat is emitted.
The Ghost Immortal is a qualitative change from before!
The use and power of various Taoist techniques is simply incomparable to the past.
"You can refine those divine stone fragments into weapons when you go back!" Zhou Tong thought secretly while eating bear meat.
In a moment, the bear was completely eaten by Zhou Tong, and his slightly weak body gradually recovered a little. But it was only a little bit. Without any spiritual medicine or some special skills, it was difficult to restore himself to his previous state.
"The feeling of separation between the body and soul of the ghost immortal may be due to the fact that some things in the body are drawn away, and the things that are drawn away are definitely not just blood and energy, but some deeper things." Zhou Tong looked at his body inwardly, wanting to find some differences between the Yang God system and the method of covering the sky.
After personally practicing to the realm of ghost immortals and having a little understanding, Zhou Tong had roughly guessed something, that is, when he became a ghost immortal, he would definitely pull away some things from his body that he had never learned about and integrate them into his soul, which was why this sense of separation between the body and the soul was formed.
The monks in this world don’t understand this kind of thing because they don’t have another cultivation system to refer to. In their opinion, it is natural that they become ghost immortals and then their physical bodies gradually weaken, just like mortals eating and drinking water, so they won’t study why this is the case.
"I'm afraid this answer is only qualified to explore after practicing the Yang God, but if you want to truly understand, you may still need to return to the deity!" Zhou Tong said in his heart.
Zhou Tong temporarily put down this doubt, then stood up, and found a cow and a sheep in the mountains. After eating and drinking, his qi and blood temporarily recovered a little.
He then returned to the valley directly.
After greeting the group of foxes in the valley, Zhou Tong found his package directly, carried it on his back, and walked out with great strides.
"Are you leaving here?" The old fox was also surprised to see Zhou Tong carrying a package this time.
"No, you haven't finished reading the books here yet!" Zhou Tong shook his head, "But it's time to deal with these things. You are actually very uncomfortable in the past month!"
Zhou Tong patted his package and said with a smile.
In this month, these divine stone fragments were nearby, and these foxes were considered to have abandoned their practice of Taoism. Because the yang energy contained in these divine stones is too terrible, these little foxes are not very strong Taoism. Facing such stones, even at night, it feels like daytime.
The old fox was a little embarrassed and didn't say much.
It also knew the huge impact of these divine stone fragments on their practice? It was just because of his face, he was embarrassed to speak.
Zhou Tong smiled. This old fox really learned the habit of human beings' worthy of face.
"I'll go back!" Zhou Tong said hello and then left with great strides.
