Chapter 42 The Old God in the Dream(1/2)
The light gradually dimmed, revealing three intertwining and changing mist.
The mist outlined a humanoid outline, which slowly solidified. It was clearly the appearance of Chen Yuan, but it was slightly different from the young man's appearance. He seemed to be a little older.
"This thing is really a strange thing! If it appears in the cave world, I'm afraid it will cause a fight!"
Chen Yuan exclaimed in wonder, took a look at his physical body, and realized the wonderful state at this time.
"The three souls are protected by spiritual mist. If the three souls are fused but not combined, they are neither a consciousness god nor a yin god or a yang god. They may be called false gods. If there is no spiritual mist to cover them, as long as a gust of wind blows, the souls will fly away.
Scattered in all directions. However, maybe my state is special and the three souls and seven souls merged with the bronze mirror and became one body. This spiritual mist cannot really be absorbed. It just captures thoughts and turns them into projections."
The moment this thought arose, Chen Yuan's physical body opened his eyes, and his soul still resided there, unaffected at all.
The physical body and the false god looked at each other, giving rise to a strange feeling.
He concentrated on false gods.
Suddenly, a ray of light burst out from the inside of the Three Souls False God, illuminating this illusory body crystal clear!
A touch of coercion emanates!
Outside the house, the bamboo spirit boy playing in the courtyard suddenly noticed something and shrank to the corner, showing a look of horror.
In the courtyard next door, the woman in red who was sitting cross-legged and adjusting her breath was shaken and filled with distracting thoughts. She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and then looked around with a confused look.
"The aura of destiny!"
The brilliance that shrouded Chen Yuan's false god gradually became introverted, and finally covered his body like running water, flowing endlessly.
"This false god doesn't have all the miraculous abilities to recognize gods, and it can't even generate spiritual thoughts. However, when I was in the cave world, the aura of my life that I condensed was actually able to manifest a little!"
Once the monk Dongxu enters the stage of spiritual transformation, the three souls merge and the hidden spirit opens up, condensing the consciousness and cultivating the divine thoughts. When the consciousness is perfect, he can combine what he has learned and evolve his own natal aura!
"My natural spiritual light must be sublimated by the illumination of the bronze mirror. It is of an extremely high level! Although this false body can be manifested, it is only a little bit, and once it is used, the spiritual mist will be exhausted very quickly. This three-soul false body
God no longer exists, but it is more or less a trump card. If we can get more crystals, we will have a better chance of winning against the Divine Court in the future."
The false god is formed by the projection of three souls. It consumes the spiritual mist to cast spiritual light. It is considered a consumable item for Chen Yuan. Naturally, the more the merrier.
Woo——
In the void, a divine power suddenly appeared. First, it separated a ray to protect Chen Yuan's body, and then enveloped his false god, dragging it towards a dream.
Chen Yuan did not resist, gathered his spiritual light, slightly modified his appearance, and allowed the divine power to envelope him, causing the three-souled false god to fall into a dream.
In an instant, the light and shadow changed, and the scene changed!
There are layers of fog between the mountains.
Chen Yuan fell from the sky, and clouds and mist gathered, carrying his false god, and floated deep into the mountains.
Suddenly, the clouds and fog dispersed.
Chen Yuan was down to earth, when an ancient old man in court clothes walked up quickly, cupped his hands and said to him: "I have met Mr. Chen Si. I am the Hucao officer under the lord. Please come with me, sir. The lord and several others
Sir, I have been waiting for a long time."
Chen Yuan asked: "Who is the head of your family?"
The old man only said: "Sir, we will know when he arrives. Please follow me."
Chen Yuan squinted his eyes. He was a projection of his soul at the moment. Without the blessing of the Golden Eye Technique, he couldn't see the reality of the old man, but he could vaguely recognize the aura of Shinto and knew that he was a god.
"Interesting, this old man also has a rotten aura, which is very different from that of Huashan Shenting. Judging from his speech and clothing, he is not from outside the territory. Is there another set of Shinto subordinates within the territory of Huashan Shenting?"
With doubts, he followed the old man forward. Anyway, this was just a soul projection. The situation was not good. The aura exploded and they died together without any psychological burden.
It was said that they were moving forward, but in fact, clouds and mist came riding on the wind, pushing the two of them forward quickly. After a few breaths, they arrived in front of a towering palace deep in the mountains.
The old-fashioned atmosphere blows in your face.
"Sir, please." The old man stood by the road and made a gesture of invitation.
Chen Yuan looked at the building in front of him and noticed that it was filled with lifeless energy. It seemed that no living being had been here for a long time. He already understood a little bit and knew that there were only gods and ghosts here. Even if there were living people, they were like him, relying on
A special method is used to transform into a spirit body, and the soul body comes over.
"This area should exist somewhere in the world. If the master here wants to quickly gather people, he can only use the Dream Soul Crystal. He can ignore the area and distance and use dreams as a path to bring people's souls.
Here. However, if the owner of this place is a Shinto person, the situation is also strange. Without the incense and vows, even if he has the status of a god, he will perish. I don’t know what the situation is like for this person."
After thinking about it, he walked into the temple and noticed that there were many ghosts hiding in the dark, wearing armor and holding swords, and they were whispering. The other places were empty, and everything looked huge, but it was biased toward Su, compared to the Lushou Mountain God.
The cave house can be described as simple and crude.
There are no rabbit demon girls, wolf demon guards, turtle demon staff, etc. It is deserted. Only in the innermost part, you can see a few glowing figures, gathered together and talking.
There is mist surging on these people's bodies. It is obvious that like Chen Yuan, they relied on the Dream Soul Crystal to condense three souls in order to reach here.
"One, two...there are seven people in total. Counting me, at least eight crystals have been consumed. It's really distressing. I wonder how much the master here has left."
After feeling the decay and death aura one after another, Chen Yuan could probably guess that the owner of this place was in trouble and needed the help of someone with higher attainments in alchemy. Due to the urgency of the matter, he had to use the soul crystal as an invitation, and even
He also used his connections to get the master of Yiguan like Gui Yuanzi to personally come forward to urge him.
If this is the case, it is hard to say how much crystallization is left.
"Mr. Chen?!"
When Chen Yuan was looking around, there was a sudden sound, and he saw one of the people walking out. He hurried over and saluted respectfully: "I've seen you, sir. Sure enough, he is also invited!"
Chen Yuan took a closer look and recognized a person named He Lu whom he had met while refining elixirs at Dingyu Temple.
At this time, He Lu's body was surrounded by spiritual mist, his body was transparent, and there was a little brilliance shining inside.
"So it's you." Chen Yuan nodded at him.
"Sir, it seems that he is a little taller than that day. I am afraid that I am mistaken. I guess it is because of the Shinto magic." He Lu said a few words with a friendly heart, and immediately led Chen Yuan forward and introduced the others: "This
Several of them have also made great achievements in alchemy, especially senior Meng Ning, who is one of the world's greatest alchemy masters!"
"Are you the last person the Lord is waiting for?"
The other six people all looked over, especially the man surrounded by everyone, who was looking at him with eyes full of color.
This man has a Chinese character face, a long beard, and even with a ghost body, he is extremely majestic. He is exactly the senior Meng Ning that He Lu mentioned.
"I heard that you can refine the Spirit Purifying Pill?" He looked at Chen Yuan and nodded, "Yes, young people have a bright future, but we must guard against arrogance and impetuosity. Everyone who comes here today has a skill and can refine it.
Only those who prepare one or two precious elixirs will be invited by the owner here. You can learn more and see more."
Chen Yuan was stunned for a while when he heard this.
He Lu was also surprised. He was about to say something, but was drowned out by the other people's voices——
"Mr. Meng, I still have some doubts about the alchemy path. I hope you can give me some advice."
"Master Meng, I opened a batch of the Extracting Beauty Pill a few days ago. The extraction method I used was of average quality, but was there any oversight in the technique?"
"Senior Meng, there are a few things I don't understand in the "Three Treatises on Alchemy" that you annotated. I hope you can teach me a few things."
…
After a brief greeting with Chen Yuan, they resumed their previous conversation.
Seeing this scene, Chen Yuan felt familiar.
It's a bit like imitating the influence of a wealthy family.
But he didn't intend to have a verbal dispute with this person. The purpose of his coming here was purely for the invitation.
Speaking of which, why is the owner of this place missing?
"Mr. Chen, I didn't expect this to be the case." He Lu had a look of sadness and anger on his face, and he felt sorry for Chen Yuan, "They have never seen Mr. Chen make alchemy, so they don't know how powerful he is! I have seen it with my own eyes, and with my alchemy skills
With your attainments, you can naturally see that your method of refining alchemy is no less than that of the master of alchemy!"
Meng Ning turned to look at the two of them before speaking again.
Sudden!
An old, frail voice came from the depths of the hall——
"Now that Mr. Chen has arrived, everyone has gathered. I only learned about Mr. Chen's reputation last. Because the deadline is approaching, I took the liberty to invite you. I hope you will forgive me."
A strong wind blew and gathered in one place, revealing the figure of an old man.
Wearing a black robe, he was tall and strong, but his cheeks were sunken and his back was slightly arched. He coughed twice after appearing.
"I have met the king."
Meng Ning and others stepped forward to salute.
The old man waved his hand and said: "No need to be polite, this time I want to ask you for help." His eyes swept over Chen Yuan, "There are a few people who don't know my origin, that's normal. I am an ancient person. I have been from the previous dynasty.
It is destroyed, and fewer and fewer people remember me."
"What Mr. Feng said is wrong!" Meng Ning stood out from the crowd, "How heroic and heroic you were when you pacified the northwest and expedition to the Western Regions! You are still a frequent guest in the poems of literati!"
Listening to these words, Chen Yuan's thoughts changed and he guessed the identity of this person.
"When I went to Jincheng, Li Dingmo, who was traveling with me, admired a great general and great master from the previous dynasty, named Feng Jing. Could it be this person? He became a great master a hundred years ago, and actually became a Shinto! However, in addition to
Li Dingmo has read his poems and talked about his deeds, but few people have worshiped him!"
