For the first time, Yu Qiao felt regret for his "smartness".

At this moment, Yu Qiao was surprised to find that the movement of taking away his soul suddenly stopped.

Immediately afterwards, a strange power covered the painful and unbearable soul trauma.

Then, as this strange power spread, the excruciating pain in his soul gradually eased and got better.

"This is... the soul healing technique?"

Yu Qiao was shocked and couldn't understand what was happening.

But this did not hinder the ecstasy in his heart. He was saved? Can he not die?

"Senior, senior, I have many secrets, I will tell you now, I will tell you all..."

Yu Qiao couldn't wait to seize this opportunity that was likely to be fleeting. He didn't dare to hesitate at all and wanted to immediately dig out his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys to show his honesty and selflessness.

But just when he was about to show his sincerity and treat others with sincerity, suddenly, he was once again overwhelmed by the severe pain like the boundless waves.

Leave no gaps.

His soul was once again extracted using the soul-pulling technique.

"Senior...senior..."

The next moment, another strange force covered the soul, the pain slowly eased, and the pain in the soul was healed.

"Why... why..."

At this moment, Yu Qiao no longer had any joy, only confusion.

But soon, this unnecessary emotion was completely submerged by another sea of ​​pain.

When his consciousness returned to clarity after another spiritual healing, Yu Qiao no longer had joy or confusion, only endless fear.

He thought of a possibility.

Subsequent changes also confirmed his guess.

His soul, which seemed to be sealed in the moonlight like amber, was extracted over and over again, and then healed over and over again.

No matter what he said, begging, cursing, begging for a quick death...

All attempts were made in vain, and no response was obtained.

The person behind it seemed to be so cold that he had no emotion at all. From the beginning to the end, there was not even a slight change in the rhythm.

It cannot be said that there are no changes at all. The method of treating the soul will become more skillful every once in a while.

"This...could it be that you are trying out a new method with me?"

"So... such cruel thoughts..."

And this was Yu Qiao's last clear thought before his self-consciousness was completely confused.

At this moment, even though Yu Qiao's soul has been pulled back in time by the Soul Resurrection Technique after being "pulled to the soul", it looks like cracked porcelain that has been repaired over and over again.

But Meng Zhou discovered that this kind of healing could not continue indefinitely.

The trauma to his soul has been cured, but the damage caused by the extreme pain to Yu Qiao cannot really be written off and treated as if it never happened.

His self-awareness and self-understanding slowly and gradually collapsed and disintegrated under this repetition over and over again.

In the beginning, this speed was very slow.

But later on, the speed becomes faster.

Moreover, the Soul Drawing Technique is different from ordinary soul attacks. Each time the soul is drawn, it not only brings trauma on the level of the soul, but also forcibly takes away part of the memory, causing permanent loss.

These deficiencies will make Yu Qiao's self-perception gradually become incomplete and increasingly incomplete.

Eventually, I completely forget who I am.

And during this process, Yu Qiao's soul became more and more illusory, more and more ethereal, and increasingly unable to match the soul of a monk at the fifth level of pill formation.

Yes, Yu Qiao has the cultivation level of the fifth level of pill formation.

Back then, when he rode a giant bird spirit puppet to attack his and Ding Ning's pill-forming celebration, his cultivation was still at the peak of the fourth-level pill-forming. The fifth-level pill-forming step had only been taken in the past two years.

As a third-generation disciple who is on par with the Yuan generation monks of the Qingxuan Sect, with such achievements, he is the best among his peers and the most respected by the sect.

However, Meng Zhou was more concerned about the changes in Yu Qiao's soul at this moment.

Seeing that as Yu Qiao's self-perception became more and more confusing, and the quality of his soul became worse and worse, Meng Zhou naturally came to an inference:

"Will the strength of the soul be affected by self-awareness?"

"Could it be that the same cultivation strength, self-perception as an invincible strongman, and self-perception as a loser, will ultimately lead to obvious differences in the strength of the soul?"

At first, Meng Zhou felt it was a bit outrageous.

Although he is also cultivating immortality, his thinking is more materialistic.

Even if you are cultivating immortality, you must abide by the conservation of energy, right?

There is no power that comes out of thin air, it always comes from somewhere.

But behind this inference is that when all external conditions are completely consistent (not only the external resources and environment, but also talent, understanding, effort level, etc.), some people will have more power than others.

Some people have more.

The reason is simply that they have a stronger and clearer understanding of themselves, while other people are more hazy and vague.

To simplify it a bit, isn't this just "I'm thinking, I can be stronger", then, I am really stronger.

This has broken away from the category of energy conservation as understood by Meng Zhou.

This is even more outrageous than being able to lift off the ground and fly into the sky by kicking off the left foot with the right foot.

"However, this is very cultivating."

Meng Zhou reflected on whether he believed in the concepts of his previous life too much.

In fact, in the final analysis, isn’t it just that “thoughts affect matter”?

Isn't it a basic operation for those legendary people with great supernatural powers to think of the sky full of snow and then the city of beacon fire?

To put it broadly, even Bai Zhi’s music and painting method is deeply involved in this aspect.

“There is a kind of person that the spiritual world holds in high esteem and does not hesitate to use many flattering words. The most commonly used words are ‘the heart of a pure child’ and ‘the son of destiny’.

In fact, to put it another way, these people are all patients with severe chuunibyou, and they all have a self-awareness that is so strong that they are not disturbed by the outside world at all.

They stubbornly believe that they are the protagonists of the world. If something goes wrong, their first reaction is never self-reflection, but a firm belief that 'I am not wrong, it is the world that is wrong'.

This mentality, which is completely incomprehensible and unreasonable to normal people, fits exactly this point.

Therefore, they often have small universe explosions, often explode seeds, break through desperate situations, and can often do things that other normal people cannot do.

Because in the face of a desperate situation, normal people know rationally that they can't do it.

But they still firmly believe that they can do it, and this is the difference."

Of course, not all middle school students can escape from despair. Compared with those who escape from despair again and again, more people will be buried.

But who pays attention to losers.

Of course, what everyone sees is the one who has gone the farthest and reached the end.

With this thought in his mind, he watched Yu Qiao's self-consciousness completely collapse, and his soul, so weak that it was like a bubble, could break at any time.

Meng Zhou's heart moved, and "Song Yang" who was sitting on the stone couch decisively stretched out a finger and pointed it at the center of Yu Qiao's eyebrows.

A force seeped in.

In an instant, the sea of ​​consciousness collapsed and the soul was shattered.

At the same time, a black mark appeared deep inside "Song Yang"'s body.

Different from the bloody mark in the Constellation Palace, this black mark is only limited to the level of the flesh and blood body, and does not show any abnormality at the level of the soul.

Seeing this, Meng Zhou couldn't help but shook his head in disappointment.

"Thankfully I made such sufficient preparations."

"Song Yang" stretched out his hands and pressed them on Yu Qiao's body. As the power of the Qi Transformation Black Lotus seeped in continuously, Yu Qiao's body began to dissolve rapidly, and finally returned to pure spiritual energy essence.

After doing all this, "Song Yang"'s figure flickered and seemed to disappear for a moment, but soon reappeared.

And in just this flash, "Song Yang" had already finished changing his clothes.

The "Song Yang" of the Qi Black Lotus transformed back into the "Song Yang" of the Ice Heart Blood Lotus.

As for the Qi-Transforming Black Lotus spirit body that had been stained with black marks, it was stored in the Five Yun Spirit Gourd by Meng Zhou.

Meng Zhou had no intention of destroying this "polluted" spiritual body. The third-level sect hundreds of thousands of miles away could no longer allow him to make such a sacrifice.

However, Meng Zhou was not arrogant enough to directly use this spiritual body to fish, and temporarily stored it in the Five Yun Spiritual Gourd.

As a third-level top-grade space equipment, its most basic function is to seal all the auras of stored items.

Even if the Spirit Controlling Sect monks were close at hand, as long as he didn't take out this spiritual body, they wouldn't have the slightest reaction.

Then, Meng Zhou divided the soul clone in Bingxin Blood Lotus into two again, letting "them" continue to be "Song Yang" and the other "Zhuang Sheng".
To be continued...
