Chapter 940: Gathering Yang and Transforming into Spirit
Apart from the remnants of the Municipal Council, the main group mentioned in the report is the Plague Cult.
In addition to the combatants, most of the cult members are experts and biotechnology engineers, as well as a small number of cult members.
During their research, they realized that it would be difficult to break through the technical bottleneck relying solely on the biotechnology and equipment they currently possessed, so they took a different approach and wanted to create a god that belonged entirely to their own sect.
Their original intention was not to create a god for themselves to worship, but to try to create an existence that could provide infinite possibilities on the spiritual level and help them bypass technical difficulties and barriers.
To put it bluntly, the company can mobilize active consciousness to serve itself, but they do not have this technology and a huge logistical supply system, so they can only take a different approach and make up for this shortcoming by supporting evil gods.
Chen Chuan took a look and found that this plan was conceived twenty years ago and was implemented in the 79th year of Jianzhi after finding a suitable candidate.
The origin of the previous ritual operator is very mysterious. We only know that his code name is "Chi Luan". According to the Plague Cult's explanation, this may be a woman.
The Plague Cult took this matter very seriously and invested a lot of resources in it, but the ritual ultimately failed and the woman disappeared.
Then three years ago, the painter came to the central city and became the host of the new ritual of the Plague Cult through the introduction of a client.
According to investigation, the painter's real name is Ji Yueshan. He was born in western Sichuan. Since he was a child, he followed a Taoist master who lived in seclusion in the mountains to learn some old religious rituals. He had a strong ability to understand and soon mastered all the rituals he could learn.
He seems to be very interested in large-scale sacrificial ceremonies from the old days and is suspected of having participated in some cult rituals. However, since the cult members in the rituals almost always die, the investigation usually stops there.
The most well-documented incident was the one involving Yang Zhi, where the ceremony was disrupted and he left behind many traces.
Director Lei left a report on it. After analyzing it, he discovered that the man had also devised a special ritual to protect his consciousness while the evil spirit possessed and transformed him. If the evil spirit's power was taken away by a more powerful entity outside, he would be able to recapture his body and utilize the remaining power in the ritual, not only avoiding harm but also gaining significant benefits and breaking free from the evil spirit's control.
This means that this person knows the existence of the thing opposite him, so even if he is not deeply involved, he is still quite knowledgeable.
It's just that this person's memory seems to be missing a part, which is most likely his own fault. If there is no specific ritual effect, he may never be able to recover this part of his memory.
At present, the Esoteric Buddhism Bureau has not given up and is trying to find a way to get it back. It has already sent people to the western Sichuan Road to look for clues.
Chen Chuan thought about it and contacted the processing bureau, asking them to try to find the original client and cooperate with the Esoteric Bureau to conduct an in-depth investigation and make sure to find a result.
After reviewing the interrogation, the report at the bottom contained some findings. The technical expert team had obtained a large amount of new technologies and related information from the Plague Cult. After evaluation, over one hundred technologies were directly applicable and could be transformed into production projects, not including related sub-projects.
These technologies will be handed over to state-owned enterprises for development and application as appropriate, but some of them will be completely sealed because they violate moral ethics and safety bottom lines.
Overall, this time, not only did we draw out and eliminate some of the remnants of the Municipal Council, and get rid of the Plague Gang, which was a cancer, but we also acquired a lot of technology. It can be said that the harvest was considerable. Judging from these alone, the operation can be considered a success.
After reading it, Chen Chuan nodded and looked at the morning light that had already illuminated the house. He decided that the remaining matters would be handled by the various departments of the Government Affairs Office, and he didn't need to worry about it for the time being.
After drinking a cup of hot drink, he returned to the meditation room. After checking that the secret instrument was in good condition, he picked up a Six Yang Gold, pulled the Xuejun Sword out of the scabbard, and then split the crack with one stroke.
He took a step forward, his brows flickered, and he glanced around. This time he did not see the thing that had chased him before, but he could now roughly guess that the things or people in this place were like isolated islands.
As long as he doesn't show off his presence in a big way, or happens to resonate with certain areas, he shouldn't attract this kind of thing.
The reason why the other party was able to catch up with us just now was because they met in the field of Liuyang Gold, so they were able to follow the traces and find us.
Once he returned to the material world and was completely cut off from it, all traces would disappear, and the other party would lose track of him. Even if he came in again, as long as he didn't enter the same place he was just in, the other party would not be able to find him.
But just now he just didn't want to waste time, and there was no benefit in fighting. But if the other party came out to hinder him again this time, he would not show mercy.
He held the piece of Six Yang Gold in his hand as before, and focused his mind on it. The moment it disappeared, he immediately sensed the location of that area. His mind followed it and soon came into contact with that layer of barrier. The light mist spread on Xue Jun's sword, dispersing it, and then he could see the Six Yang Gold scattered around again.
This time, without waiting for him to activate the Xuejun Sword, tentacles of light mist immediately spread out from the blade, rolling up all the Six Yang Gold in sight.
Seeing that he had obtained it, Chen Chuan did not delay any longer and immediately retreated. Just as he was retreating, a shadow suddenly spread over.
What he encountered this time seemed different from the last time, and it came at an extremely fast speed, and it seemed that it would catch up with him before he exited the rift.
Seeing this, he simply didn't leave. He stood in front of the crack, holding a knife. At the same time, his whole body flashed with light, and the light unique to the Great Bright Light Style suddenly bloomed. At this moment, everything around him was burning as if it was on fire, and spread rapidly outward. The whole person seemed to be standing in a ball of brilliant flames.
This surprised him a little. He knew that the Great Bright Light Style might be very useful here, but he didn't expect it to be so dazzling and exaggerated.
And at this moment, the shadow suddenly paused, and then retreated at a speed even faster than when it came.
Chen Chuan raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the other party was hiding. After changing his mind, he didn't pay much attention to it. He turned around and walked back into the crack. Then he closed the crack with a knife.
He thought about it and found that these things appeared when he took the Six Yang Gold. Once was a coincidence, but twice was definitely not.
Is it because of too much?
I remember Mr. Mask said before that it was precisely because someone on the opposite side also needed this thing that the fighter with the divine appearance could not bring back a lot of Six Yang Gold at one time.
But he didn't know what the definition of more and less was before he got it. Now it seems that at least a dozen or so will attract some "attention".
It may be that the field formed by so many Six Yang Golds is just enough for the other party to notice, or it may be that there are some "people" who are watching specifically, and any movement will be noticed.
He shook his head and said there was no need to worry about so many things. He had brought at least ten pieces this time, and with the remaining ones, it should be enough.
After a quick check and confirming that there was no problem, he didn't waste any more time and placed all the Six Yang Gold in front of him.
After counting them, I felt that there were a little more than last time. There were as many as nineteen in front of me.
Although these six yang golds were of different sizes, he felt that they were definitely enough. He didn't know if there would be any left. If there was, he could use them to feed the civet cat.
He put away the Xuejun Sword, cleaned up the surroundings as usual, then sat down on the cushion and began practicing again.
This time it lasted for more than nine hours. It was almost evening when he finally absorbed all nineteen pieces of Six Yang Gold, including the remaining ones.
Feeling the sense of fulfillment coming from his brows, he knew that the six yang golds he absorbed this time completely satisfied his needs.
Once this condition is met, he can practice meditation according to the description of the method.
This part requires the self to be reflected into it. At the same time, this process will consume a lot of energy and take a certain amount of time. The stronger the foundation of a fighter and the more prosperous and complex his own alienated organization is, the longer it will take.
It is particularly important to note that the entire process should be completed in one go. If something goes wrong, you may need to start over. There is no need to look for the Six Yang Gold again because it has become one with you, but the consumed energy needs to be replenished.
Chen Chuan thought that it would take him quite a while, so after considering it for a moment, he walked out and swallowed all the remaining high-energy nutrients and food that were enough to sustain him for a month in one go, and stored all the energy in his alienated tissues.
Then he returned to the meditation room, sat down on the cushion, and continued his practice.
He sat there for more than ten days, and it was not until late July that he finally completed all his visualizations.
At this moment, the red mark between his eyebrows had disappeared, but there was a concentrated light lingering on it.
As the light gathered more and more, gradually, wisps of pure white mist emerged from the field outside his body, and the mist gathered more and more, becoming thicker and thicker, and soon filled the entire space.
After a while, the smoke condensed and soon a figure appeared outside his body, also sitting cross-legged. The figure was about four or five meters tall, almost reaching the top of the meditation room.
The figure's outline was blurry at first, but later it became clearer and clearer. The face seemed to have the same eyebrows and eyes as his, and the whole body was glowing with a platinum-colored light.
After a long time, Chen Chuan suddenly opened his eyes, and the huge figure also opened his eyes at this time, but there was a flash of golden light in his eyes. Not only his eyes, but even a vertical eye with glowing light appeared between his eyebrows.
