Chapter 604 Illusion
Xinlian fell beside Li Qi, looking completely exhausted.
Looking at Li Qi again, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by piles of knowledge books transformed from Xinlian's consciousness.
These books are just a form here, a form that is easier for others to understand. In fact, Li Qi is absorbing the knowledge in them at a very fast speed.
It just looks like he's flipping through a book.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Qicai closed the last book and frowned:
"The way to cultivate soul power is actually like this..."
The way to cultivate consciousness is to engrave consciousness inscriptions on the surface of the soul, strengthen one's own soul through the inscriptions, thereby forming a corresponding mechanical and mecha space, and integrating with the machinery and mecha created by oneself.
Consciousness, soul, machinery or mecha, or the star beasts of the Klund Empire, these are a whole.
When you reach the sixth level and everything is integrated together, you will be able to feel the existence of rules, begin to comprehend the rules of the world, and advance to the seventh level.
All subsequent practice starts with understanding the rules.
This is a way to cultivate consciousness.
But the soul power is different.
In Li Qi's opinion, the way of cultivating soul power is very similar to the way of cultivating immortals in the Cang Xuan Realm and the Dongji Realm.
Absorb the free power between heaven and earth, strengthen your own soul, improve yourself layer by layer, and finally reach the realm of eternal life of the soul.
And the most crucial point is absorbing power.
If soul power is cultivated step by step, even for a talented person, it would probably take tens of thousands of years to advance from the first level to the ninth level.
For those with less talent, it might take hundreds of thousands of years.
However, the lifespan of the soul itself is limited. After hundreds of thousands of years, the soul will dissipate. Therefore, practitioners of soul power have come up with a way to quickly increase soul power.
Arrange formations to allow your soul to travel through other small worlds, and improve your strength in the main world by growing in the small worlds.
The Black Dragon went to the martial arts world in this way, and then used the souls of that world as nourishment to improve itself.
If Black Dragon succeeds, he will be able to break through the boundary between the sixth and seventh levels, and he won't have to worry about encountering any obstacles until the bottleneck of the peak of the seventh level is reached.
Because the cultivation method of the soul world has gradually become mainly based on going to the small world to improve the soul, there is only a small part of their cultivation system that uses step-by-step cultivation methods to improve soul power.
More importantly, it teaches people how to find small worlds, how to invade the bodies of the natives of small worlds, and how to absorb the power and rules of small worlds to improve themselves.
The black dragon's enormous soul power is enhanced in this way.
Therefore, if Li Qi wants to quickly master this power, he must follow his practice process.
In other words, at this moment, Li Qi needs to let his soul enter the small world and absorb the power of that small world.
"But I can't get out now."
Looking up at the consciousness space barrier that was blocked by the conflict between consciousness and soul power, Li Qi's heart sank slightly.
In order to leave the consciousness space, Li Qi needs to integrate the soul power from the black dragon as soon as possible.
But in order to quickly integrate the black dragon's soul power, Li Qi had to leave the consciousness space again.
…It’s broken. There’s a bug.
Li Qi rubbed his head and let out a heavy breath.
Things have come back to the starting point. If he cultivates his soul power step by step, he can indeed speed up the time when Li Qi wakes up.
But that would only mean that waking up every few years would change from waking up every few decades.
Li Qike has not forgotten that his wedding with Sophie Yuna is coming soon. The wedding invitations have been sent out, and all the powerful people in the major families and the empire know the news.
Now that he is in a deep sleep, whether the wedding is postponed or cancelled, it will be a laughing stock for the Duke's family and the royal family.
Sophie Yuna might not say anything, but what would the Queen think? What would the other families think? "Tsk..."
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he felt. Li Qi couldn't help but look at Xinlian who was lying dead on the side.
Noticing Li Qi's gaze, Xinlian immediately stood up and hugged herself and backed away like a little girl being forced, while shouting, "I've given you everything!! I've given you all the knowledge I can remember!! If I can't remember anything, I can't remember it even if you force me!!"
It seems that Li Qi's inhumane behavior of hollowing out her head has left her with psychological trauma.
You still say this is a mecha that surpasses the ninth level?
But it is true that a mecha is a mecha, and a mecha consciousness is a mecha consciousness, which is equivalent to the so-called innate spiritual treasure spirit in the world of immortal cultivation.
Just because a magical treasure is powerful doesn’t mean the spirit inside it is necessarily smart.
Of course, Li Qi didn't mean that Xinlian was stupid. It was just that Xinlian had always relied on her own control over the rules of love, making people fall in love with her irrationally, so she didn't use her brain much.
Xinlian should not be counted on, is there any other way to leave here quickly? Li Qi looked away from Xinlian and sat cross-legged thinking.
Seeing that Li Qi was no longer looking at her, Xinlian breathed a sigh of relief. After a while, she seemed to understand something and asked:
"…The soul power training method is useless to you?"
“It’s useful, but even if I combine these training methods to create new ones, I can only shorten the time to a few years.
"But I'm getting married in two months."
"What about other methods of cultivation?" Xinlian asked.
Li Qi didn't answer.
Other cultivation methods include magic visualization diagrams from the magic world and the Qi training methods from the Dongji Realm, another world of immortal cultivation outside the Cang Xuan Realm.
There is also a martial arts world technique that allows one to enter the Dao through martial arts and break through the void and all realms with one punch.
These skills are indeed very exquisite, and should be the first-class cultivation methods in the native world, but they are of little help to Li Qi at the moment.
Seeing that Li Qi remained silent, Xinlian knew that the skills from other worlds were useless, so she sat down next to Li Qi in silence and began to ponder with him.
After a while, Xinlian looked at the consciousness and soul power blending together above, and suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Rich, the way to cultivate soul power should mainly be to go to other small worlds to absorb power, right?"
"That's right."
"But... isn't that where the power lies?"
Xinlian pointed at the barrier of consciousness space.
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and also looked at the consciousness and soul power that were still colliding with each other, and suddenly understood something: "What you mean is..."
"The purpose of soul power training is not to enter the small world. After entering the small world, absorbing the power of the current world and integrating that part of the power into your body is the purpose. Since these powers are here, why don't you try to create a 'illusion' of the small world, throw these powers in, and then speed up the absorption?"
Xinlian meant that the small world was a transit point and power was the core. If Li Qi could use his own power to construct an environment similar to the small world and filter the soul power in it, then perhaps he could speed up the absorption of soul power.
But if it is done in this way, it is actually no different from directly absorbing soul power.
If this method is to be completed, other transfers need to be added.
"I can't do it alone." Li Qi looked at Xin Lian.
Xinlian also turned to Li Qi and smiled: "So I'm not here."
“…”
"Why, you still don't believe me at this point? It's up to you. I'm not in a hurry to leave anyway."
Seeing Li Qi's silence, Xinlian put her hands on the back of her head and fell to the ground with an indifferent attitude.
She was really not in a hurry. After all, she had been sealed in the World Sea for so many years, so it would not be a big deal to stay here for a few more years.
And to be honest, she was somewhat saddened by Li Qi's distrust of her. After all, they were comrades fighting side by side, but Li Qi still did not open his heart to her.
Xinlian lay beside him without saying a word, and Li Qi sat there thinking for a long time.
Finally, he closed his eyes and exhaled: "Okay, let's try what you said."
"Hmph, I'm angry. You can do it by yourself." Li Qi relaxed, but Xinlian started to throw a tantrum instead. She hugged her shoulders and turned her head away from Li Qi, whining and not at all as mature as she was when they first met.
Li Qi had no expression on his face. He did not try to persuade her, but said:
"My consciousness is changing into soul power. By then, your inheritance will also be separated from me, right? Tell me, what will happen if I throw you into the world sea?"
"..." Upon hearing Li Qi's words, Xinlian jumped up from the ground and stared at Li Qi in disbelief: "You are too ruthless! Can't you say something nice to persuade me? How can you threaten me!"
"Oh, so this is what you want." Li Qi understood and nodded, then turned to face Xin Lian and said seriously: "I was wrong just now, so please help me, Miss Xin Lian."
"It feels fake to apologize so decisively..."
"Will you help me?" Li Qi's eyes became dangerous again.
"…Okay, it's my bad luck that I'm the driver now."
Xinlian thought she was unlucky and said nothing more. She stood up and stretched out her hand to Li Qi and said, "Grab my hand and give me all your remaining consciousness. I will help you filter the soul power."
"Can."
Li Qi decisively placed his hand on Xinlian's hand.
Now that you have decided to trust her here, there is no need to hesitate.
Anyway, Li Qi believed that Zelia was watching outside. If Xinlian really dared to do anything, he would definitely not be the one who got hurt.
The two glowing palms touched each other, Xinlian closed her eyes, and said to Li Qi:
"Close your eyes and imagine the small worlds you've been to before. I will create illusions based on them."
The small world that Xinlian mentioned was the small world that Li Qi had once visited after taking a secret realm assessment and using the game engine.
And not because she knew that Li Qi was a time traveler.
Li Qi nodded slightly, and before handing over his remaining consciousness to Xin Lian, he suddenly asked: "Will you see what's happening in my illusory little world?"
"No, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I have no intention of prying into your privacy, and I can't do it."
"Why can't you do it?"
"Do you think it's easy to absorb soul power? When the soul power completely enters your small world for you to absorb, the small world that was created will be closed. My consciousness can't enter, and it's impossible to enter, because once it enters, it will interfere with your absorption process.
"So...are you still worried now?"
At the end, Xinlian looked at Li Qi helplessly.
Li Qi's vigilance towards her made her sad and speechless at the same time. Being vigilant is a good thing, but being too vigilant can be annoying.
Li Qi didn't care what Xinlian was thinking. After making sure that Xinlian was not lying, Li Qi simply closed his eyes.
In an instant, dazzling light enveloped the two of them.
