Chapter 321: Condensing the Soul
After reaching the Pulse Condensation Realm, Zhou Shu was still in retreat. He planned to work hard to condense his soul.
The soul is an extension of the soul. After possessing the soul, the cultivator has one more kind of power that can be used, and can use more mental techniques.
The soul is also an indispensable foundation for the formation of the soul, but it is still far away from the soul. The simplest difference is that the soul can leave the body at will and can still be controlled from a long distance, but once the soul leaves the body, it means that the cultivator
It is already dead, and the separated soul must either find a new body to take possession of, or enter a place such as a soul-nurturing tree or a psychic magic weapon to rest, otherwise it will disappear soon.
Condensing the soul, according to the classics, shouldn't be a difficult task for Zhou Shu, who has an extremely stable mind, but he couldn't be completely sure before doing it.
He has a lot of experience in condensing souls. Some of this experience comes from Hong Yuan, some comes from the classics in the Sutra Pavilion, and a lot of it comes from evil cultivators.
No need, not even looking at it, but Zhou Shu would not be so extreme. He knew that evil cultivators attach great importance to souls and are very good at collecting souls and seizing bodies. The knowledge in these jade slips is very useful for
Zhou Shu was very helpful.
For example, normal cultivators mostly use meditation and visualization to sense the existence of their own souls, and guide and gather them to condense the soul. The process is long, and just sensing the soul is difficult. As for evil cultivators, they will use
It is a very extreme method to sense the soul. They believe that it is easiest for a cultivator to sense his own soul when he is about to die. This method is fast. It may succeed in one try, but it may actually lead to death.
Because there must be a real danger of death, and the duration must be long enough, in order to make it easier for cultivators to truly realize the existence of the soul.
Without much thought, Zhou Shu decided to take the evil approach. He didn't want to waste time, and he had had two near-death experiences before, but he was in a coma at that time. There was no chance of him being able to sense it, and he wouldn't be able to sense it this time.
As a practitioner, it seems that it is not easy to obtain this kind of experience alone, because you are always in a situation where it is very difficult to die even if you know what to do.
Zhou Shu began to draw talismans, and different talismans were drawn one after another, and then combined and linked together.
Looking at a large series of talismans, Zhou Shu was very satisfied, although these talismans were all used against him.
In the silent valley, bursts of loud thunder-like noises began to be heard, and the sound shook for dozens of miles.
"What the hell is he doing? Shouldn't Ningmai be quiet? Why is it so noisy every day?"
Hao Siyun in Yanyun Valley looked confused. "Sister, should we go and see him?"
Hao Ruoyan was equally puzzled by the weird loud noise, but immediately rejected Hao Siyun's request, "Of course not, it's pulse condensation, and he can't disturb others. The success or failure is up to him, and we can't change anything.
.”
"Oh, it would be terrible if the pulse condensation fails."
Hao Siyun nodded, looking a little worried.
If a cultivator fails to coagulate his pulse, his body and mind will be severely damaged, and he will not be able to recover within a few years. Moreover, the success rate of coagulation is the highest for the first time. If he fails for the first time, the next time will be more difficult and more and more difficult.
Difficult, cultivators who fail twice will only be in the foundation building realm in this life.
"No, how could he fail with his qualifications? Sister, you are overthinking it."
Hao Ruoyan smiled and shook his head, but there was a faint layer of gray in his eyes. She was actually worried.
Two days later, Zhou Shu slowly walked out of a collapsed cave.
He was almost naked, his whole body was a little burnt, and he looked quite embarrassed, but there was a bright smile on his face.
"Ah, I didn't notice that my hair is gone!"
He touched his head and couldn't help but jump up. After several days of suffering, his hair was burned clean, and his body suffered unimaginable pain, but compared to these, he obviously got more.
Without hesitation, he immediately sat down cross-legged and entered a state of selflessness.
More than ten days later, Zhou Zhou was walking slowly in the valley.
After reaching the Pulse Condensation Realm, only fifteen days later, even the soul was completely condensed, much faster than he imagined.
It wasn't just the physical body that was struggling back and forth on the verge of death. In a few flashes of spiritual light, he sensed the soul, something formless and without substance, but with unimaginable power.
Soon, he began to gather his soul.
For him, the process is not complicated.
In his sea of consciousness, a seed gradually sprouted, grew up, and soon turned into a strong tree. Although it was not big, it was green, with dense branches and leaves, and full of vitality.
That little tree is the spirit.
Each cultivator's soul has its own concrete image in the sea of consciousness, which is different from the desert, the ocean, etc. Zhou Shu's sea of consciousness is a grassland, and the concrete image of his soul in the sea of consciousness is a grassland.
A tree has unlimited growth possibilities.
From a grass to a small tree, Zhou Shu watched it grow up little by little, feeling completely satisfied.
But this is just the beginning. As Zhou Shu grows, it will become a towering tree that towers over the sky.
The pulse condensation was completed, the soul was also completed, and Zhou Shu also officially became a pulse condensation realm cultivator.
This means that Zhou Shu has broken away from the category of low-level disciples, his status has been greatly improved, and he is considered to be alone among cultivators. For him, there are many things that he could not do before, and he can now start to consider them, such as returning to immortality.
Fangshi, such as Liu Yuban and so on.
But he only considers it and will act when there is an opportunity. Zhou Shu will not take any initiative for the time being. For him now, the most necessary thing is of course to improve his cultivation level. The sooner the better.
Naturally, the original spiritual cultivation method cannot be used to convert spiritual energy into liquid. However, Zhou Shu has complete and fully opened Qi meridians. He can already practice the Sea-Stepping Technique, which comes from the lifelong efforts of practitioners in the Tribulation Realm.
It brought great help to his cultivation.
However, if we start now, the deduction is not complete and may not be perfect, so Zhou Shu will have to wait for a while, probably a few months.
This is already very fast. According to the original calculation, it may take more than a year. However, due to the substantial increase in spiritual consciousness after condensing the pulse, the deduction process has also been shortened a lot.
"I still can't practice for the time being. I will have a few months of leisure time."
Zhou Shu smiled slightly and walked out of the valley slowly.
He stopped a disciple and said politely, "Excuse me, nephew, where is the Yanyun Valley?"
"Ah, uncle...isn't that right, elder?"
The female cultivator changed her title twice. She felt it was right, and she quickly saluted.
In the Liuxia Sect, except for a few Keqing elders, all others are female cultivators. It should be easy to identify him as a male cultivator, but the female cultivator in front of him is obviously a little confused.
Zhou Shu said calmly, "No need to be polite, where is the Yanyun Valley?"
"Is Yanyun Valley the valley of Elder Hao? Isn't it on the opposite side?" The female cultivator looked at Zhou Shu with some confusion and pointed to the hilltop opposite.
"Thank you."
Zhou Shu nodded and left quickly.
No wonder Hao Siyun keeps coming to harass him, he turns out to be right across the street.
