Theoretically, there is no difference between the shadow of an ordinary object and the shadow of a person.

It has no substance and cannot serve as a carrier of parallel consciousness.

But this is the world of immortal cultivation, and spiritual energy flows in everything. No matter what happens, you should not be too "superstitious about materialism".

In this world, the human form was originally created by Nuwa in imitation of the images of the gods of heaven and earth, and it is in line with the Tao of this world.

Although the shadow is only an outline, it is also a human form and is equally favored by heaven and earth.

Jiang Li's shadow has followed Jiang Li for years, wherever he walked, sat, lay down, practiced and meditated, and was nourished by the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him.

In fact, there had already been some strange things. If you walked along the road and compared carefully, you would find that Jiang Li's shadow was darker than that of an ordinary mortal.

At this time, after the boundary between life and death was torn apart at Beiyin Mountain, his shadow was able to ascend to heaven in one step, possessing a small part of the soul torn from his main body, and all of Jiang Li's huge vitality.

It is already fully sufficient to be satisfied and transformed into a new life condition.

If he still possessed Jiang Li's skills, it would not be impossible for him to become a shadow earth immortal in time.

Such a shadow is naturally enough to carry a parallel consciousness.

And what was in the shadow was actually a fragment of his own soul, and the parallel meaning entered into it. He no longer needed to engage in spiritual warfare and forcibly take over the body as usual.

Without encountering any resistance at all, the sixth parallel consciousness directly merged with the torn soul fragments.

The confused shadow that had just been torn apart immediately had two rays of divine light bursting out from its eyes.

He and Jiang Li's real body looked at each other through the vine shell, and they had a spiritual connection.

There is no time to feel the wonderful feeling of observing the world from the perspective of a shadow.

Jiang Li's mind moved, and Shadow Jiang Li took action from the inside, pulling the countless vine shadows on his body, preventing them from scattering and continuing to maintain the shape of the vine man.

Grandma Mingshan on the stage seemed to have noticed something and glanced over here.

However, the overlapping shadows are so real that it is impossible to distinguish them with the naked eye.

The breath of Jiang Li, who was already "dead" and hiding inside the withered wisteria monster, became even weaker. Under the cover of the invisible fire, she couldn't find it before, let alone now.

Grandma Mingshan just took a look at the phantom of the vines twisting randomly.

When she turned her head, the shadow of the vines twisting wildly had drifted away into the distance.

No, they don't want to catch the shadow and keep it with them.

Instead, they grab the shadow, just like scooping up the moon from the water. They can't say that no one in the world can do it, but at least they don't have the means to do so.

I could only watch the shadow drift away into the distance.

Among these eight great monsters, the most unlucky one is the purple vine monster Shi Pan.

Others have one shadow each, but he has tens of thousands of shadows. Once they are scattered, it will be extremely difficult to come back alive.

The monsters watched their shadows drifting farther and farther away and could only sigh helplessly. They then walked down the mountain at the urging of the Grandma of Mingshan.

Black shadows flickered on the ground around them, and like sharks that smelled blood, a large number of other shadows quickly gathered together.

The new shadow is still in confusion and chaos and usually has no ability to resist.

Wandering on the shady side of the mountain, the monsters transformed from shadows love to bully these new fat sheep.

Jiang Li's shadow had just floated out when hundreds of pitch-black shadow monsters, sticking closely to the ground and sliding, followed him!

They can feel that there is a very terrifying vitality hidden in this shadow, which makes the shadow monsters extremely greedy.

The plan of all the monsters is to divide and eat this shadow before it awakens.

However, when the twisting shadow floated to a shadow far enough away, the countless vine shadows outside the shadow outline suddenly began to shrink.

There were hundreds of twisting vine shadows, which gradually disappeared, revealing a human figure among them.

At this time, Shadow Jiang Li was holding the thickest vine shadow tightly and biting it.

Then, just like sucking noodles, he swallowed the shadow of the purple vine monster Shipan into his stomach whole.

There were tens of thousands of shadows, containing the vitality of an entire purple vine monster community. In just a moment, it was completely sucked away and devoured by these shadows.

After eating so much, Shadow Jiang Li's abdomen swelled like a ball, and it was obvious that he had eaten a lot.

Fortunately, this shadow seemed to have a good appetite. After patting its belly, the circular outline of the ancient city quickly returned to its original shape.

After absorbing tens of thousands of vine seeds, Jiang Li's shadow seemed to become even thicker. Even though he was in the shadow, his outline could be vaguely seen.

At this moment he noticed other shadows surrounding him with ill intentions.

"How do you know I'm not full yet? Then I'd like to thank you for your hospitality!"

Shadow Jiang Li not only possesses wisdom, he can also speak.

Without waiting for the surrounding shadow monsters to react, Shadow Jiang Li smiled strangely, and the human-shaped shadow outline suddenly shattered, turning into three thousand black dots, dancing wildly in the moonlight.

If you look closely, you will find that those black spots are actually the shadows of three thousand black mosquitoes.

Shadow Jiang Li had just eaten the shadow of an entire combined wisteria monster. The energy he had stored was already enough. Three thousand mosquito shadows split into two, two into four, and quickly expanded under the moonlight.

Then a large number of black spots flew towards the surrounding shadow monsters that had not reacted in time. The shadow monsters could only stick closely to the ground, and the only directions they could escape were up, down, left and right.

In addition, they didn't have much intelligence to begin with, and were immediately pounced upon by the scattered black spots.

Then, a strange scene appeared under the moonlight.

Hundreds of shadows that appeared on the ground without any projection began to shrink inexplicably. In just a dozen breaths, they had all disappeared without a trace.

And those mosquito-shaped shadows split again and became more numerous. After flying for a while, they gathered together into their original shapes again.

Just from the outline, you can tell that the owner of the shadow is extraordinary and heroic.

Jiang Li's sixth parallel consciousness, before his death, could only control 3,000 black mosquitoes with broken wings, and it was not stable. It could not be considered a mature clone.

But in the end, the sixth parallel consciousness successfully swallowed the souls of those little mosquitoes, and through the deduction and digestion of the Guanyin Heart Sutra, it successfully obtained some of the talents and characteristics of the broken-winged black mosquito.

At this time, this parallel consciousness reintegrated into Jiang Li's shadow, and also brought over the innate magical power called "Spiritual Charm Rainbow".

The terrifying ancient mosquito was too difficult and dangerous to control, but now it should be okay to just use his own shadow.

Jiang Li has a deep understanding of the extremely domineering magical power "Spiritual Rainbow".

At that time, if he had not had the legendary human flame Suirenhuo on him, he might have been overturned in the Five Exiled Cities in the Ten Directions Realm.

No matter whether it is spiritual energy, vitality, magic weapon, or rare object, this magical power can absorb everything.

Even the Asura's chaotic power, which is completely different from that of the Kyushu Continent, is no problem as long as you get used to it.

Such a domineering and unreasonable magical power.

Until now, relying on the Heart Sutra of Guanyin, I have finally gained something between life and death.

After a long time, Jiang Li, who was sitting in a pile of dead vines, finally opened his eyes.

Just now, his will was not focused on the shadow Jiang Li, but on promoting the "Heart Sutra of Avalokitesvara" to comprehend the part of the memory left from the sixth parallel consciousness.

It also contains the souls of two thousand tiny mosquitoes.

Like Shadow Jiang Li, Jiang Li, who ate the souls of those black mosquitoes with broken wings, also has a new talent skill called "Spiritual Charm Siphon" on his panel.

However, this ability is quite suitable for Shadow Jiang Li, and he can use it as soon as he gets it.

But perhaps due to racial reasons, it doesn't seem to be so suitable for him.

On his status panel, the name of that skill is still gray.

Jiang Li felt it carefully and had some understanding of his new talent and skills.

Shadow Jiang Li, because he is a shadow himself, he is ever-changing and will not be restricted by anything.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

But he himself is a pure breed... Perhaps there are not such pure breeds of humans.

Just like a sword cultivator without a flying sword, he now has no organs suitable for performing the spiritual energy siphoning, nor does he have any organs that can store and digest the spiritual energy obtained by siphoning.

To do that, he would have to undergo a complete transformation and fundamentally change part of his body structure.

That would be a very difficult thing. Medical practitioners' body transformation and organ transplantation were undoubtedly inferior, and if they wanted to be reborn without side effects, they would even have to grow some special insect organs in a targeted way.

It would probably take at least twenty or more alchemy masters, spending nearly a hundred years to design and customize a pill for him from start to finish that is at least of the Earth grade.

This is only possible if there are a large number of black mosquitoes with broken wings as research materials and alchemy materials.

The expenditure required is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

Or... He could use the innate skill "breaking the cocoon" that he also got from insects! This ability that any completely metamorphosed insect would have could directly transform itself, optimize and transform its body structure, and even improve its talent.

Jiang Li had tried it countless times and had raised his spiritual root talent to the level of top-grade spiritual roots, so he was quite familiar with it.

The only question now is whether he can still use Cocoon Breaking when he is dead.

He glanced at the Cocoon Breaking skill which was also in a dim state, and felt it again. Every part of his flesh and blood was dead silent.

Obviously, a dead worm cannot break out of its cocoon and become a butterfly.

Jiang Li could only helplessly suppress the excitement in his heart temporarily.

However, having this period of buffering may be a good thing.

Because he has never treated himself badly since the day he started practicing.

Tao foundation, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, everything he used every step he took, were all good things that even the ancient immortals and gods would be jealous of.

He had just reached the Nascent Soul stage, but he had already shown the qualities of a true immortal.

At this moment, the quality of his spiritual energy is very high. If he could use the spiritual energy siphon right now, he might not be able to resist the temptation and siphon it everywhere.

After all, the innate magical power he obtained was just a reduced version of the one that the Cangwing Black Mosquito had. It was not the Hongmeng Dafa of the Bloodwing Black Mosquito that could absorb even the Twelve-Rank Golden Lotus of Merit.

It is hard to say how much benefit you can get, and it might even pollute your own foundation.

And there is so much time for you to calm down, so that you can calmly pick up only the good things and siphon them.

Of course, with his shadow, this kind of worry is not so particular. He can just open his stomach and suck as much as he wants.

Behind him, on the shady side of the mountain, the shadow Jiang Li was already playing a game of Pac-Man. This mountain was destined to be a bloody storm.

. . . .

The eight demon kings were filled with grief, but they did not know at this moment that their shadows were about to face a great crisis.

After descending the shadowy Beiyin Mountain where shadows were running everywhere, an endless empty cliff appeared in front of us not long after.

This is the boundary of the underworld fragments of Beiyin Mountain.

From here on, if you want to move forward, you have to jump into the void of the underworld.

But in the void of the underworld, even they cannot fly.

Once you enter, no one can guarantee where you will fall.

Are you lucky enough to reach the destination you want?

The unlucky ones would be crushed by the chaotic void of the underworld? Or would they just keep drifting like this? Even with Jiang Li's character and luck, he didn't dare to try it easily.

Be more prepared anyway.

"Shi Pan, how are your preparations?"

"If this is successful, I will make you the Lord of the City of the Dead!"

Grandma Mingshan looked at Jiang Li and promised him a huge, illusory benefit in an unpleasant voice.

Jiang Li now believes more and more that she is a ghost.

Why else would he be so full of lies? Promising something that he hasn't even got yet is such an attractive offer.

As for the preparation she mentioned, it was actually just imitating the death card.

Before, Jiang Li discovered that the old lady of Mingshan wanted to take them to the City of the Dead.

It was obvious that the other party had no confidence at all in crossing the void of the underworld.

By then, there is a high probability that this old lady from the Underworld Mountain will just write her name on the wooden board, and then take everyone with her to jump into the void to try their luck.

Isn't this just playing with your life?

Jiang Li didn't want to risk his life for her.

Therefore, we can only helplessly take the initiative to increase the other party's chances of success.

At that time, it was suggested that one could use his vine talent to imitate the death card.

It was also for this reason that he had more freedom than the other demon kings and was able to send those four-handed children away.

Otherwise you'd have to carry them around in a coffin all the time.

Once they cross the Shadowy Mountain, they will all become dead.

"Grandma, everything is ready."
