Chapter 200 The Mind Path of the Jingzhao Evil-Suppressing Prison (Please subscribe and vote!)
In front of the statue is a small stone platform.
There was a stone book on it. Wang Yu approached it with some anticipation, only to find that it was blank. There were faint traces of characters on it, but they had all disappeared.
He could only vaguely make out four or five characters, and it was an ancient script with mysterious power that he couldn't recognize.
"So that's what happened. This is what Kim Myo-sun took away..."
After weighing the stone book in his hand and finding nothing amiss, Wang Yu put it into his pocket.
My true essence and divine sense are sealed, and my blood and qi are not compatible with my storage bag, so I can't open it. I can only carry it like this for now.
After circling the statue once and finding nothing, Wang Yu tried to move it with his divine strength, but found that he couldn't budge it at all, so he shrugged and left.
There are still three routes and three directions to explore; there's no need to waste time here.
but.
He also had some doubts. If Kim Myo-sun took the inheritance here, then why is there no pit leading directly to the surface?
Just like the deep pit he saw when he passed by the killing field on his way here, that was the trace left by the pillar of inheritance.
"What if the two are not on the same spatial level?"
Making this guess, Wang Yu recalled the information about the Eastern Capital Prince's Mansion provided by Jin Manlou. A prince's mansion could occupy half the city area, but in reality, it was just a small courtyard of 500 acres.
Therefore, it is very likely that there is room for expansion, or a deep, hidden place like a secret realm. This speculation is more in line with the common sense of this world.
The Jingzhao Town Evil Prison may also be this type of semi-open, extended spatial architecture.
He found traces of Asura, but what about Rakshasa?
The secret of this ancient feud is truly fascinating, and tracing the shadows of antiquity will help Wang Yu understand the truth of this world.
This desire to explore and investigate stems from his memories of his past life, or rather, from that sense of insecurity.
In various regions of both domains, ancient demons are buried and sealed away!
[Life], [Desire], [Blood], [Kill]... that makes four kinds, plus the natural barrier of the endless ice plains and the monster abyss on the outer edge of the Chaotic Ancient Sea.
Although vast, it consists of only two regions: Taihu Lake and Chiyuan.
The extinct Buddhist and Taoist religions, the lost ancient times, the ancient and fallen celestial dynasties, and the legends of immortals in the lower realms... and so on.
All of this makes this place seem like a place of exile, detached from the rest of the world, like a cage, with ancient demons everywhere, like buried nuclear bombs.
It could explode at any time.
This sense of crisis instilled in Wang Yu, a person who had lived in a safe society in his previous life, a strong sense of urgency and a desire to survive.
This may be the reason why he was able to constantly seek opportunities and take risks to change after becoming a spirit slave.
His personality has undergone a complete transformation compared to before.
He didn't know when it started, but he developed a strong desire to explore the secrets of history, a desire stemming from an underlying unease.
certainly.
It's too early to talk about these things now; he needs more strength to ensure his survival at this stage.
After exiting through the eastern passage, Wang Yu entered the northern passage, where the protective barriers had worn down to the second lowest level, almost completely losing their ability to counter invaders.
Crossing the identical corridor, the northern passage ends at a torture chamber filled with the stench of decay, where the ancient immortal dynasty had even more instruments of torture torment its prisoners.
Wang Yu arrived at a tightly fitted stool with a dark gray spike at the center of the seat, at least five feet long. Once someone sat on it...
"Tsk—"
Just thinking about it sent chills down his spine.
Touching the edge of the torture instrument and giving it a gentle squeeze, it turned completely into dust. The corrosive power of time far exceeded imagination. If it were exposed to the ground, it would probably decompose into ash very quickly.
Learning from the ingenious ideas of our predecessors, we toured the area.
Wang Yu still found nothing, but he discovered a stand for holding swords. This object exuded a hidden killing intent, and the items on it had already been taken away.
However, the base on which it was placed should not be underestimated. Wang Yu held it in his hand, considering it a reward from this exploration.
He felt like he was there to collect trash.
After exiting the passage, the next passage is located to the west. Although there are many damaged restrictions here, many of them are still intact.
However, its power has declined significantly compared to when it was first deployed.
After Wang Yu entered.
He deliberately triggered a broken restriction rune, and then a blood-red sword aura, about the length of a little finger, shot out from behind him.
*Splat—*
It was as if he had bumped into a stubborn rock. Apart from the itching, it did not cause Wang Yu any trouble. Its strength was only about the early stage of Qi Refining... ridiculously weak.
The seniors had already traversed the path for him; the remaining ones posed no threat to him, and even ordinary Qi Refining cultivators couldn't stop them from advancing.
At the end of the western passage was a warehouse.
The place was spotless, completely emptied out, with messy footprints all over the ground.
It seems that more than one group of people came here without gaining anything. Wang Yu was not discouraged, though, as there was still one last passage to the south, according to his observation.
The southern passage was preserved with extremely intact restrictions, as if no one had ever set foot there. When he arrived at the entrance, he became even more vigilant.
This is perhaps a place that Kim Myo-sun and the others didn't have time to explore.
Wang Yu took a step forward.
The entire passage seemed to be shrouded in bloodlust and killing intent, with an extremely dense crimson mist blocking the way ahead. Wang Yu paused for a moment.
He then stepped back with his left foot.
In that instant, the surging, terrifying blood mist vanished without a trace, as if it were an illusion.
"Illusions, mental barriers, perhaps..."
He probably figured out the type of restriction, no wonder no one has been able to break it.
Due to the overall structure of the South Passage, it is difficult to observe the full extent of the restriction patterns from the outside, and attempting to break it remotely is likely to fail, leading to unknown consequences.
However, once you step inside, you will be drawn into a mental illusion, where you cannot see the restriction patterns at all. Only by breaking through the illusion can you see the whole picture.
But since the illusion has been broken, what difference does it make whether there are any restrictions or not? It's better to stay and cause trouble for those who come after.
This may be why the southern passage remains undamaged to this day.
He pondered for a moment.
Wang Yu decided to give it a shot, since he hadn't seen any skeletons inside yet, so the chances of it being fatal were relatively low.
This time, I fully stepped into the passage.
When the bloody red mist swept in, Wang Yu did not dodge at all, allowing himself to be swallowed by the red mist. Then, the world changed, and Wang Yu arrived in this mental illusion.
This is a grim and bloodthirsty city, where there are no civilians on the streets, only soldiers in armor and armed with weapons.
And he... is still a prisoner!
But he wasn't alone. Right now, he was standing in a long line of prisoners, with soldiers on both sides staring at all the prisoners with fierce eyes.
They were almost sandwiched in the middle.
The prisoner procession continued to move forward, and Wang Yu curiously observed everything around him.
This mental illusion is completely real.
He could feel the wind, smell the stench of the prisoners, and taste the rusty flavor in the blood.
It is completely different from the illusion of Taiyin You Tong that manipulates emotions, or rather, the two are based on different foundations, like two different paths on the path of illusion.
"No--"
Wang Yu murmured to himself.
"These are two different paths, different derivatives of possessing the power of illusion... for example: the mind!"
The Way of the Soul.
It is exceptionally rare in the inheritance of this world, and it is also the only mysterious power that can be cultivated without the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
It not only requires high natural talent (not spiritual roots), but also has requirements regarding the species, just like a living being that has its own identity is needed to learn.
A strong will can bring about a powerful mind, and similarly, an indomitable mind can bring about an indomitable spirit. The two are two sides of the same coin and are difficult to distinguish.
It is very similar to the relationship between the soul and the spirit.
The "Dao Heart" that cultivators often talk about is also a part of the mind, but the Dao Heart can only affect oneself. When the path of the mind reaches a certain level, it can influence reality and others.
It can even unleash miraculous power, turning the impossible into the possible.
These are all insights gained from Wang Yu's extensive reading; after all, the column possesses a remarkably strong memory for pure knowledge.
Wang Yu doesn't need to understand or comprehend it; he can simply memorize it.
In particular, he read almost a quarter of the books in the Sutra Recitation Hall of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect in order to find clues to the secret methods of demonic cultivation to improve his aptitude.
That's a treasured artifact from a sect with a history of ten thousand years.
Wang Yu had benefited greatly from the various historical allusions alone, and now, faced with a mental illusion, he recognized it immediately.
Combined with location.
Wang Yu subconsciously judged that the so-called "Asura Killing Scripture" was likely a supreme classic that directly pointed to the mental strength of the Nascent Soul stage.
Its rarity and preciousness have skyrocketed, making it highly likely that it is the only one of its kind in this world.
Like pure body-refining and pure soul-cultivating techniques, it can be practiced concurrently without affecting the improvement of the fundamental technique; in fact, it may even provide additional assistance.
This may be the reason why Jin Miaoshan cultivates the "Asura Killing Scripture". Even in Jin Manlou, there is no mental cultivation technique of such a high level.
"A tremendous opportunity... but if you can't seize it, even if you possess it, it will lead to disaster, and you won't even have the qualifications to cultivate."
Wang Yu sighed with emotion.
The "Ancient Soul Technique" he practiced represents the spirit, the "Yinming Demon Dragon Technique" represents the essence, and the "Heavenly Cold Yin Blood Technique" represents the qi.
It may seem chaotic, but everything is actually serving a single goal.
Condensing the Golden Elixir!
The challenges of cultivating vital energy and spirit at this stage are even greater than those at the Foundation Establishment stage, and are also more difficult to overcome.
Therefore, if Wang Yu could possess third-order divine sense and third-order physique in advance, his path to breakthrough would be smooth sailing, without any problems.
Even without a Core Formation artifact, it will take more time.
If he were to refine himself for a hundred or two hundred years, his true essence might very well transform into magical power, helping him truly overcome this insurmountable obstacle.
The path of the soul was not in his plan.
Even if he obtained the "Asura Killing Scripture," he wouldn't be able to cultivate it in a short time. Firstly, he didn't have enough storage space, and secondly, mental cultivation techniques could easily distort a person's personality.
This can lead to paranoia or complete obsession.
Kim Myo-sun is in this stage. If she cannot withstand the erosion of killing intent, the best outcome will be for her to become a demon controlled by slaughter.
If they're unlucky, they might not even be able to retain their consciousness, completely transforming into—[Slave Killer]!
Organize your thoughts.
Wang Yu's attention returned to the illusion itself.
