Uplifting Journey

A dilapidated stone forest soaked in lake water.

Countless broken and collapsed stone pillars were half submerged under the water, as if in a stone forest devastated by a storm and tsunami. On a stone pillar with a smooth section, Jiang Qing and Sun Lang sat cross-legged casually across a small wooden table.

Jiang Qing ran into Sun Lang on the way to visit.

For the sake of the guest's token, Sun Lang, who had formed a small relationship with Jiang Qing, would not give him face and neglect the important guests of his sect.

In an unfamiliar environment, Sun Lang, an acquaintance who had been talking nonsense (interrogated) with him for a long time, had a sense of intimacy for Jiang Qing.

Anyway, he estimated that he would stay in the Five Elements Gate for a while, and it would be best to expose Liang Zi or something, so he proposed a friendly discussion with Sun Lang, who was suppressing his displeasure, and set aside conflicts in a man's way to make friends. Everything is wiped out.

Sun Lang, who smiled but didn't smile, nodded and accepted the proposal. After showing Jiang Qing all the way, he took the newborn demon to the place where he usually practiced - this big lake, with ready-made familiar water skills array is available.

Sun Lang, who was gearing up to fight, was going to take advantage of the geographical advantage to show off the anger of being subdued by Jiang Qing and losing two magic weapons.

Anyway, he has formally practiced a lot of ideas in the Five Elements Gate, and he feels that he is much stronger than the newborn demon Jiang Qing who is full of defects, not to mention that he still has the magic circle magic weapon to use.

Then Sun Lang was hanged and beaten all the way, suppressed from the beginning to the end, and finally had to surrender helplessly.

Jiang Qing, who was bare-handed and had nothing but shallow time and space mana, won quite easily.

These lakes, as well as the amazing stone pillars in which the magic circle was carved, were Jiang Qing's best weapons.

Before the quality breaks through a limit, the influence of space curvature on it is close to absolute. The higher the mass itself, the stronger the gravitational force generated by the same space curvature acting on it.

Anyway, when the air resistance is ignored, the falling acceleration of the feather and the steel ball are the same.

In this case, the high-quality stone pillars and large-scale lake water formed an unreasonable and excellent attacking tool in Jiang Qing's hands, convincing people with strength and measure.

It only needs to consume a little mana to create a space curvature that is twice as much as the usual gravity, and you can freely control the movement of matter in a wide range.

Sun Lang, who could only cut down one stone pillar with all his strength driving the wooden flag, faced Jiang Qing, who uprooted a large number of stone pillars with one hand, and set off a tsunami while destroying the magic circle above.

Under the circumstances that the demon-restraining spells had little effect on Jiang Qing, and the mirage-like deceptive spells had no effect on gravitational induction, and Sun Lang, whose output power was far inferior to Jiang Qing's, and who had no advantage in flexibility, naturally had no choice but to surrender.

Although it's hard to describe the feeling in his heart, Sun Lang was really convinced of his defeat this time, and the depression of being blown up before he could show his true strength in the past disappeared.

So the two people who didn't know each other sat down and chatted. Later, Sun Lang moved a table from the residence and brought a bunch of fruits that he usually ate to fill his stomach and Jiang Qing's stomach when he was a little hungry.

Sun Lang does not have storage props. Although the Five Elements Gate can create a void like the current residence, it is not difficult to create storage props, but maintenance and use require a certain level of cultivation, at least they must be able to use special properties The vitality of the soil.

Sun Langxiu's practice is still shallow, and the water magic power has nothing to do with the void, and the storage items for self-maintenance are too precious, so he naturally doesn't have that kind of thing on hand.

Jiang Qing, who couldn't identify the type, was very happy to eat this kind of sweet, crispy, pitless fruit that Sun Lang took out just one bite at a time.

These are not fairy fruits that have special effects when eaten, but modified plants researched and fiddled with by some wooden practitioners in their hobbies. The function is actually that the yield is good and it is more delicious for ordinary people.

If a practitioner who refines and transforms qi does not deliberately expend energy and use special methods to cultivate the ability of bigu, he will not be able to eat the wind, drink dew, eat northwest wind, and live on vitality like the advanced practitioners of refining qi and transforming gods. There is still a market for this kind of food.

After all, there are very few people in this world who are gifted and have the opportunity to embark on the path of practitioners, and there are even fewer people who can be promoted to the realm of refining Qi and transforming into gods, and can be called true practitioners. Most people in the Five Elements Sect are still The role at the bottom of the pyramid in the gas refining stage.

Jiang Qing, who was stuffing his stomach, suddenly changed his expression. After looking at the fruit in his hand, he threw it into his mouth with an expression of trying for the first time.

Under Sun Lang's weird gaze, Jiang Qing frowned and slowly chewed the fruit and swallowed it, then sighed leisurely.

——No wonder the master said that when he first created the panorama, he didn’t like to open it in his daily life. Eating food with the panorama open, this kind of tasteless feeling of only getting a string of data descriptions is really too frustrating. I really don't know how the back of the master is used to always open.

Sun Lang looked at the huge fruit basket on the wooden table strangely, and asked Jiang Qing, "What expression do you have? Did you eat something bad?"

After Jiang Qing was silent for a while, he said to Sun Lang: "Tell me, what kind of feeling does a powerful practitioner like Li Zi. Master Li have to eat? In his eyes, food is nothing but food. Is it an aggregate composed of different vitality?"

"Oh, what are you talking about." Sun Lang waved his hands indifferently, "We haven't reached that point in our cultivation, so don't worry about it."

After thinking about it, Sun Lang also sighed and said, "You haven't received a complete inheritance, so it's normal for you to be confused about these issues—the way of practice is against nature and getting far away from others.

"The so-called 'cultivating one's life without cultivating one's nature is the first disease in one's practice'. The xinxing can't keep up with the changes in life forms. Even if there is no invasion of the last extraterrestrial demon, sooner or later people will have to cultivate into idiots or directly destroy themselves. Besides, in this world, the potential of xinxing Apart from physical fitness, it is the biggest limit to whether a person can embark on the path of cultivation.

"Although our Five Elements Sect's method of cultivating the mind and character is not as perfect as those Taoist sects, it is still no problem to deal with the current practice. You will get all the relevant information after you have the guest token."

Jiang Qing nodded, and after closing the panorama, he ate a piece of fruit again. Feeling the sweet and sour taste in his tongue, he said vaguely: "It's really hard to imagine how a practitioner at that level can enjoy life and stay happy." of."

"Enjoy?" Sun Lang shook his head with a smile, "At that level, how to control yourself from being addicted to 'enjoyment' is the most difficult thing. You think the sensory stimulation of the physical body is infinite compared to the level of the primordial spirit. How about joy?"

Sun Lang spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Cultivators in the realm of refining qi and transforming gods understand their original mind, build their souls, and integrate them with mana. In the later stage, as long as they want to, they can immerse themselves in pleasures far beyond the level of ordinary people's senses. Feelings, pain, hatred and other emotions are the same.

"Honestly speaking, I am stuck in the process of refining and transforming Qi, and the improvement is slow. The main reason is that my master thinks that my xinxing still needs to be polished. He hopes that I will spend more time to adapt to the material needs and mentality of practitioners who have escaped from the world. I don’t know how long this process will last, and I am also very desperate.”

Just after he finished speaking, Sun Lang's head drooped, but he was slapped by Li Zihao who suddenly appeared behind him: "You're the only one who talks a lot, little brat. You haven't settled the account of sneaking out last time. If you don't sharpen your mind, you're going to turn the world upside down? Go to Sun Daquan for punishment."

Sun Lang withdrew from the scene with a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, and went to find his master in desperation.

Looking away from Sun Lang who was leaving, Li Zihao turned his head to Jiang Qing with an amiable expression, greeted Jiang Qing friendly, and urged him to call Cheng Bin out—the discussion of the Five Elements Sect is over, Time to get down to business.

Although the master of the Five Elements Gate has a lot of authority, the other high-level officials of the Five Elements Gate are not decorations. Although Ke Qing has the word Outer Gate, he has extremely high authority.

It is the sect master's right to act in a hurry and make decisions on the spot, but if a convincing explanation cannot be given afterwards, such a major decision may be overturned in a high-level meeting.

However, the leaders of the branches of the Five Elements Sect watched Jiang Qing's situation from a distance with the help of the magic weapon Five Elements Sect, and after listening to Li Zihao's description of Cheng Bin's existence, most of them nodded in agreement with the sect master's handling.

The rest of those who have opinions basically have two concerns——

One is Jiang Qing's demon identity. It's not that they discriminate, but that a unique demon like Jiang Qing must have attracted the attention of the one in Moyuan. The Hundred-headed Demon Lord is a big evidence. The risk behind this If the Five Elements Sect wants to take on the responsibility, they probably need to communicate with the Zhengyi faction and Haotian Palace.

The second is the problem of the mysterious existence of Cheng Bin. Judging from the characteristics of the interfering power produced by Nian Qi on Jiang Qing's soul, there is no doubt that Cheng Bin is an extraterritorial demon, and he is an extraterritorial demon whose power far exceeds previous historical records. .

From the common sense of this world, practitioners will only have a chance to encounter the invasion of extraterrestrial demons after breaking through to the realm of refining the void and joining the Tao. There is no way outside the heart to resist.

No one knows what is going on with the mysterious tricks of the two ancients, Haotian and Moyuan.

It is worth mentioning that Taoist practitioners, especially those who seek to break through the boundaries and ascend to become immortals, have a 100% probability of being targeted by demons from outside the territory.

The specific reason for the invasion of the extraterrestrial demons is unclear in the practice world, but the result is clear to everyone——

Most of the people who have been eroded by the demons outside the territory have lost their minds and collapsed to death. The rest of them will often be unconsciously distorted in consciousness. In severe cases, they will even completely become another person, a person who is difficult to communicate and destroy desires. strong person.

No matter how weak this person's original combat ability is, after being eroded by the extraterrestrial demons, he will become extremely powerful, powerful enough to crush the entire world, so every time the extraterritorial demons appear is an extremely terrible disaster.

And the last time someone survived the heart demon tribulation and became a celestial being, it was a long, long time ago.

In this environment, one can imagine how scruples the people of the Five Elements Sect have on Cheng Bin.

However, the peace and logic shown by Cheng Bin and Li Zihao in the communication, as well as the many strange knowledge in his mind, made the five elements gate executives who had been arguing for a long time finally reach an agreement, and felt that this risk was worth taking.

So except for a few high-level people who ran out to communicate with other sects, all interested high-level personnel of Wuxingmen gathered together, and started serious research work after communicating with Cheng Bin.

Speaking of which, the Five Elements Sect is considered a strange flower in the entire practice world, and its practice concepts and various pursuits are incompatible with other sects. In Cheng Bin's view, the Five Elements Sect's personnel system is closer to some kind of loose academic research organization. Except for several core researches of Zongmen's survival and pursuit, most people are guys who are interested in starting a project and doing experiments.

However, the practitioners in this world have their own convenient observation and intervention tools, and they are not short of computing power and thinking speed after having the soul, so advanced practitioners can complete all the steps from theoretical experiments to physical production by themselves, except for exchanging inspirations. It's not good to live outside the capital.

Therefore, the research work on Jiang Qing and Cheng Bin was chaotic at the beginning, and some guys often slapped their heads and turned halfway to engage in various researches of unknown significance.

After reading the information on the practice world provided by the Five Elements Gate, Cheng Bin, who had been studying the chaos for a while, couldn't bear it anymore. He forcibly took over the command and command of the research work, and used the more advanced organizational structure and management methods he knew. Going up, somehow stopped the rhythm of doing what they did, and gradually produced some results.

The most important result, and the result that Cheng Bin is most concerned about, is naturally the way he truly understands and analyzes and interferes with the matter of this world.

The principle is quite simple to say-let Jiang Qing practice to break through to the state of refining the spirit and returning to the void. At that time, his primordial spirit can be integrated with the mana, and the spirit can run smoothly and connect with the material vitality, and can even be directly transformed into a virtual state Yuan Qi turns into a rainbow and flies away.

At that time, Cheng Bin, who has analyzed the information of Jiang Qing's soul, will naturally be able to analyze the transformed vitality substance. With a little experimentation, it will no longer be a problem for mind energy to interfere with vitality.

At that time, Cheng Bin’s main goal of coming to this world will hopefully be achieved—to explore the similarities between different material rules in different worlds at the bottom, to obtain a deeper material analysis ability than quarks in the inner world, and to find a unified way of correlation between matter and time and space .

This method is much simpler than waiting for Wuxingmen and Cheng Bin to study the mystery of the bottom layer of vitality and the relationship with the four-dimensional time and space, and directly find Cheng Bin's body.

However, although the Five Elements Gate has come up with some drafts of Jiang Qing's unique practice method, there are still many problems to be solved in the actual implementation.

The main problem that Jiang Qing needs to solve before going deep into practice is the dominance of the Lord of Demon Abyss in the field of monsters. This requires Jiang Qing to go to Zhengyi faction, or to go to the demon empire under the protection of Zhengyi faction.
