A corner of heaven and man
Taking advantage of the free time in the afternoon, Chu Yao locked the door and sat quietly on the bed, trying to practice the spirit preservation technique.
Although the threshold for starting the Spirit Preservation Technique is the foundation building stage, the techniques on how to leverage spiritual power should also be available during the Qi Refining Stage.
But this time I was not as lucky as before. No matter how I understood the thoughts, there was no fluctuation in my body.
The condition of his body now is different from when he was first captured on the spaceship. Although his cultivation was sealed at that time, his spiritual power was still there, but now his Dantian is empty.
Chu Yao knew that he had acted too hastily. How did he know whether Taoism could have the same effect as before in this unknown land far away from his homeland?
Furthermore, there are still two questions as to whether there is spiritual power here.
She had previously fallen into a mindset, and naturally thought that this place was full of spiritual energy like Feng Yuan Star. But the actual situation was probably that there was no spiritual energy at all here, and it was a bad land for cultivators.
For the monks who survived on the spaceship, getting rid of their inherent thinking and being cautious and reflective at all times may be the greatest wealth they gain.
It is impossible for me to dig mines here for the rest of my life, I have to find a way to leave. The key to leaving is to recover my cultivation, so that I can get rid of the slave ring and resist those powerful heavenly weapons.
The key to restoring your cultivation is spiritual power. Find a way to replenish your spiritual power!
In addition, you also need to know more about everything in this world.
She has too little information. She is like a farmer who has just entered the city. She understands nothing and everything she sees is new.
Spaceships, golden light, black mirrors, weapons... Only by thoroughly understanding what these powers are can we have the possibility to control them in the future.
The decision was made, and Chu Yao's mind calmed down.
She suddenly thought of something, jumped out of bed, stood in a strange posture, and chanted the chant.
Not long after, Chu Yao felt a numbness and coldness in his upper body. Chu Yao's face lit up, knowing that he had succeeded.
This is exactly the "ghost trick" she once tried on the spaceship. They were captured in the sky at that time, and now they have returned to the earth and succeeded in one fell swoop.
She has no cultivation now, so she cannot see the true form of the "ghost", but the familiar cold feeling is definitely unmistakable.
The teachings of ghosts are extensive and profound. Broadly speaking, ghosts in the world can be roughly divided into three types: heaven, earth and humans:
When the body dies but the soul fails to enter reincarnation for some reason, it is called a human ghost; when a man-made object is made by condensing ghost energy through magic, it is called a ghost on earth; when the time and place are favorable, it is bred and evolved in the dead land, it is called heaven
ghost.
There is no distinction between these three types of ghosts. Since they have become ghosts, the three souls and seven souls must not be complete. In other words, they have independent consciousness, but they are messy and can only survive with a sense of resentment or obsession.
In the world. But if the obsession is too deep, or if you receive some blessing, you will turn into a powerful ghost, able to consciously devour other ghosts to strengthen yourself, and even cultivate Taoism.
What Chu Yao just summoned should be a kind of human ghost. Unfortunately, it can be summoned but cannot be driven away. Without cultivation, it is all in vain.
But this is also a valuable attempt. The success of the technique at least shows that Lingyuan Star and Feng Yuan Star are similar to a certain extent.
Since the art of summoning ghosts is feasible, there must be other side tricks that do not require spiritual power.
Chu Yao's mind was racing, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Along the way of cultivation, there are countless Taoist methods, alchemy, weapon making, talisman formations, and any one of them is complicated and vast.
Wait, the formation...maybe feasible!
Although she has dabbled in formations, she is not proficient in them.
But it's okay, she doesn't understand, there are others who do.
As the person with the highest cultivation level of Tianyin Sect, Senior Sister Bai Yuejian is not only strong in strength, but also has made great achievements in the field of formations. For example, the power of Tianyin Sect's sect-protecting formation has increased by as much as 10% due to her improvements.
.
Don't underestimate this achievement. The Tianyin Sect's protective formation was created by the first generation of the sect leader. It has stood with the sect for thousands of years. The number of people who can improve it can be counted on one hand, which is enough to prove her accomplishments in the formation.
.
Chu Yao got out of bed and ran towards the hut where the senior sister was.
The two people live not far apart. Each room has a number, which is also their name tag in the mine. Chu Yao's is 43, Bai Yuejian's is 49, and there are five huts in between.
Chu Yao knocked on the door, heard the greeting from the senior sister, opened the door and walked in. The moment he entered the house, he saw a strong wind in front of him, and he seemed to have walked into the fog!
The next second, everything in front of me changed back to the original state. The senior sister was sitting cross-legged on the bed and looking at Chu Yao with a smile.
"Senior sister, this is..." Chu Yao's eyes lit up, and then he saw small pieces of gravel under his feet.
The rubble is placed according to a certain pattern, either horizontally or vertically, in an orderly manner. At first glance, it looks like a small formation.
"Little Lost Formation." Senior Sister Bai said.
"I just wanted to ask about the formation, and as expected, senior sister, you have already started trying it. In addition to the small missing formation, how about other formations?"
The senior sister shook her head:
"I have also thought about some other basic formations, such as the Spirit Gathering Formation, the Pure Heart Formation... but they are not as simple as the Lost Formation. They either require specified materials, spiritual stones or communication spiritual energy. These conditions are now all
It can’t be achieved. Even small formations are like this, let alone more powerful formations.”
"But I have other ideas. Since the Lost Array is feasible, maybe it can be improved..."
"I knew you were the most powerful, senior sister!"
"Come on," the senior sister smiled and pinched Chu Yao's face, "Where are you?"
Chu Yao thought for a moment and then told the story about the Soul Preservation Technique.
There is nothing to hide. The Soul Preservation Technique is useless to her right now. She might as well give it to her senior sister to learn more about it. Maybe they can make a breakthrough if they work together.
Now, as a prisoner slave, isolated and helpless, and having lost all his cultivation, he has become a mortal. Uniting as one is the best strategy. One more person means more strength.
Moreover, she trusted her senior sister. Apart from her long-dead master and parents, her senior sister was the closest person to Chu Yao in the world.
"This spirit-preserving technique seems plain and simple, but I always feel that there is a mystery behind the words, and it is not as simple as it seems. Don't give up yet, it might come in handy in the future. But your method of summoning ghosts, please tell me carefully
Come and listen to me."
Chu Yao explained it in detail, and the more Senior Sister Bai listened, the brighter her eyes became.
"Okay, okay. In this way, this little lost formation can add a lot of changes. I want to try it."
Senior sister is good at everything, but as soon as she starts studying formations, she forgets to eat and sleep, and spends her days and nights in confusion.
Chu Yao stuck out his tongue, turned around and walked out of the house. Then he rolled his eyes and started wandering around the prison slave's residence.
She has never been the kind of ascetic monk who has closed the door and stayed in seclusion for hundreds of years, and she will never sit still and wait for death.
Most of the wooden houses had their doors closed, but many slaves came out of their rooms and gathered outside in twos and threes, chatting and communicating with each other.
Chu Yao walked around and became familiar with everyone he met. Occasionally, he walked over to interject a few words and explored the place.
The villa where the chief lives is in the west, the place where slaves are housed is in the east, the mine is in the north, and the gate is in the south. There are guard towers in each of the east, south, and west directions, which monitor all directions day and night.
The shelter's wooden houses are arranged vertically from north to south, with twenty rooms in one column, for a total of 240 rooms in 12 columns. There are about a hundred new slaves in the shelter, and adding those who have been incarcerated before, the number is exactly 240.
Ten people.
"So we filled the previous vacancies. So where did the original more than 100 people go?"
"Beauty, are you kidding us? What good will happen to the slaves!" A big man beat his chest in front of Chu Yao and kept saying things like "I was wronged".
"Okay, okay, I understand. So what can I do? Do you think I just want to come in? Just wish yourself well." The person who was entangled said impatiently.
"The best outcome is to be bought away, and you have to pray that the person who bought you is a kind-hearted family. If you don't escape, you will be worse than a mining slave in the end."
"I don't want to be a slave in the mines..." Brother Wong cried until he cried.
"You think you are a big man, can you be stronger?"
"Be strong ass! In this world, wearing a slave ring is worse than a pig! Now we have porridge and biscuits waiting for us. In a few days, do you think that guy named Zou will care about our life and death?"
Brother Wong's words silenced everyone. Many people looked confused and sighed repeatedly.
In such a busy conversation, a huge civilization gradually unveiled its mysterious veil in front of Chu Yao.
In the vast and vast sea of stars, there is a galaxy called "Dragon Land", and the heavenly beings are the masters of Dragon Land.
The Celestials established a glorious civilization in Dragon Land. They advocated the power called "technology", and advocated adventure and conquest. With the help of technology, they created spaceships and warships that can soar in the universe, and continued to use overwhelming technology and weapons.
The earth expands outwards and expeditions to the star sea.
The "Konghai" where everyone is now is a new galaxy discovered by the Celestial Civilization. Because there are many planets and rich resources, it has been planned as a new development zone, and some companies are responsible for the development tasks of these planets.
These companies obey the orders of the higher-level "General Administration of Interstellar Development Affairs", but they have great freedom in the management of their subordinate planets. On Lingyuan Planet, Ari Company is the supreme king.
In the civilization of heaven and man, everyone is equal. That being said, there is only one group of people, and that is slaves.
The moment you put on the slave ring, you are downgraded from a "person" to a slave, and become an "object" that can be slaughtered by others.
Those who become slaves are either alien barbarians from the defeated star, or prisoners who have committed serious crimes. They have no people and can be purchased at will, either as laborers or as playthings of the rich, with almost no good end.
There is a proverb in Longdi: "It is better to be a ghost under the sword than a slave to the ring."
The meaning is very simple, that is, I would rather be hacked to death than become a slave and be eaten by mermaids. This is enough to prove the tragic fate and cruel life of slaves.
After receiving too much information at once, Chu Yao felt dizzy. He only regretted that he had no spiritual power, otherwise it would be much more convenient to directly use the soul search technique.
"So this, this General Administration of Interstellar Development Affairs, is the highest-ranking person among heavenly beings?"
