Chapter 418: Nourish the spiritual roots, nourish the spirit, seize the heavenly way and transform yourself, achieve the spiritual transformation, the great way... three lives
It’s a spiritual calamity, but it’s not a normal spiritual calamity.
Lu Chen looked at the strange calamity cloud composed of a pile of corpses above his head, but he didn't have many thoughts in his mind.
After all, he had anticipated such a scenario a long time ago.
However, although this heavenly tribulation is strange, it is because Lu Chen's Dharma Eye, the Green Lotus Pupil, can see through illusions to a certain extent and reach the true nature.
If someone else came, the strange calamity cloud would not only not be scary, but would be full of fairy spirit.
Because in the eyes of others, the strange calamity cloud in the sky at this time, which was composed of countless corpses grafted together, was a fairyland on the clouds surrounded by fairy air.
Cranes, immortals, and the Immortal Palace.
Heavenly soldiers, heavenly generals, and heavenly officials.
If an ordinary person saw this, there would be no doubt in his heart.
He had an immense desire to "ascend to heaven", and believed that he would soon "achieve enlightenment" and attain great freedom.
But Lu Chen knew very well that all this was just bait given to the "fish" by the Nine Realms Heavenly Dao.
The so-called freedom is nothing more than moving from one cage to another bigger cage.
Lu Chen even suspected that many cultivators in the ancient Nine Realms were actually unable to see their true selves.
Those cultivation methods that seemed unorthodox to Lu Chen and other immortal cultivators might be perfectly normal to them.
The reason for this is that Lu Chen and the cultivators in the immortal world are not from the Nine Realms and have never been influenced by this world.
Only in this way can we look at the world as a bystander and see the essence of this place.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen was inspired.
"After being in a cage for so long, I finally get back to nature. If I could ascend to the blue sky one day, the world would be so vast in an instant."
"But if even this blue cloud has become a cage, then the so-called 'nature'... is nothing more than a bigger cage."
"This world is indeed still sick."
Above the strange calamity cloud, countless hideous mummies were baring their fangs and claws at Lu Chen below, and a bloody smell filled the air.
At this moment, above the blue sky, there was no immortal palace or immortal officials. They were just a group of man-eating monsters covered with hypocritical appearances.
The Heavenly Dao of the Nine Realms is the greatest demon.
Lu Chen closed his eyes and began to carefully comprehend the 'Dongzhen Acupoint' that he had just opened.
Humans have three caves: one is called the cave of spirit, the second is called the cave of mystery, and the third is called the cave of truth.
The three caves open at the same time, leading to the mystery.
For Lu Chen, opening the Dongzhen Acupoint is like opening the last shackles that were originally imposed on him.
There are no longer any obstacles between me and the surrounding world, and I can clearly feel the great road of heaven and earth.
This is also the fundamental difference between the cultivators in the Spirit Transformation Stage and the Nascent Soul Stage.
Transform your body into the Tao, and your spirit will become one with the Tao.
Although Lu Chen has not yet completely entered the path of spiritual transformation, he has already been able to gain a preliminary understanding of the charm of this realm.
It's hard to describe that feeling in words.
If he had sensed the great way of heaven and earth before, it was like seeing flowers in the fog and could not see the real truth.
Now he could see everything clearly, the rising and setting of the sun, the chirping of insects and birds, all the subtle movements around him were not only slowed down countless times in Lu Chen's perception, but also clearly audible.
This feeling of having everything under control between heaven and earth is intoxicating.
However, Lu Chen knew very well that what he could fully control at the moment was not the entire world.
It was just a small area around him.
This is also the symbol of the Spiritual Transformation Stage...the connection between heaven and earth is complete.
Within the scope of 'Jue Tian Di Tong', Lu Chen is the 'master' in the absolute sense.
All magic techniques and supernatural powers cannot be easily used here.
Anyone and everything that falls into this place must abide by his 'Tao' and his 'rules', even the strange calamity clouds above their heads are no exception.
Tick-tock, tick-tock…
The sound of dripping rain hit the burned-dry Fallen Dragon Lake.
And on the dried-up lake bed, the bones of a huge ancient dragon were lying there.
However, the "spring rain" that should have awakened the vitality of heaven and earth is now extinguishing all vitality between heaven and earth.
Because what was falling was not rain at all, but terrifying "blood", black blood, blood mixed with evil thoughts and karma.
The source of this black blood rain is the calamity cloud above Lu Chen's head.
The bones of the dragon on the ground were constantly melting under the corrosion of the blood rain.
After a while, the huge dragon's bones disappeared completely.
The originally dried-up Fallen Dragon Lake was now filled with blood again.
However, the restored Fallen Dragon Lake is still full of fishy smell, like purgatory.
Although Jiao's corpse disappeared at the bottom of the lake.
But Lu Chen saw a brand new "dragon" appear in the calamity cloud.
It was a rotten dragon that seemed to have been dead for tens of thousands of years, and its body was covered with spliced flesh and blood.
However, the dragon that was resurrected by the calamity cloud did not seem to be grateful to the calamity cloud, and was even struggling to escape from it.
But there were too many dead bodies and broken limbs in the calamity cloud.
These corpses and broken limbs firmly grasped the dragon, making it impossible for it to break free.
Finally, in the desperate eyes of the dragon, it was completely dragged into the depths of the calamity cloud.
Then, a sound similar to chewing came into Lu Chen's ears.
And there seemed to be a hint of joy in this voice.
It's as if I'm eating some delicious food.
Lu Chen knew that it was because what he had done was to completely kill Jiao Qi.
As for Jiao Qi, who has lost his true spirit, the corresponding avenue must naturally return to where he should return to.
That is to return to the 'Nine Realms of Heaven and Earth'.
However, this path to return also contains many of Jiao's insights from tens of thousands of years of cultivation.
It is completely different from the original 'Avenue'.
The Nine Realms of Heaven and Earth are just like the evil money lender.
Finally, all the money that was given away was recovered, including the principal and interest.
Although Lu Chen's storage bag still contained Jiao's "Dao Fruit".
But that fruit is nothing compared to Jiao's tens of thousands of years of insights and practice.
After devouring the 'Jiao' completely, the calamity cloud became visibly larger.
And Lu Chen could sense it clearly.
The look in the other person's eyes when he looked at him at this moment was full of greed.
It was like a hungry beast seeing a lone prey.
However, the same thought was actually rising in Lu Chen's mind.
The Nine Realms Heavenly Dao wanted to eat Lu Chen to strengthen itself.
Lu Chen also needed the origin of heaven and earth in this calamity cloud to completely consolidate his "true spirit".
Both sides regarded the other as prey.
But for some unknown reason, neither side is in a hurry to take action and they are just standing in this strange standoff.
I don’t know how much time passed.
The strange calamity cloud that had been hovering in the sky and had not taken any action finally moved.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen put his fingers together and placed them between his eyebrows.
The next second, countless shadows began to appear around him.
Looking closely, they were actually Lu Chen's clones.
However, the external incarnation that was originally able to completely replicate Lu Chen's entire cultivation was not so complete at this time, and only had a small part of the charm of Lu Chen's original body.
But even with only this small part of the charm, it is enough for them to perform magic.
Even if each of these tens of thousands of clones can only use a spell once, it is equivalent to a thousand times the power of Lu Chen's original body.
It can be said that this is its only use.
This made Lu Chen's original strength have a qualitative leap.
And this is the 'Tao' that Lu Chen has transformed into now, named... San Sheng.
[Name: Lu Chen (Qingyun Sect, Danyang Peak’s Chief Disciple)]
[Cultivation: Spiritualization Stage (fake)]
[Innate magical power: Reincarnation Time (Five Realms Immortal Technique)]
[Magic power: Zhuqi sword array (four realms of transformation), Samadhi true fire (five realms of immortality)...]
【The Dharma of Heaven and Earth: The Dharma of the Three Pure Ones (1/3)】
【Jedi Tiantong: Three Lives】
【Dao: Three Lives】
[Description: Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things]
[Effect: You can freely differentiate your true spirit, or condense it into an incarnation, or place it on any spiritual object, turning the invisible into the visible, and the non-existent into the tangible. You can shape your spirit and concentrate your mind, and be reborn with a drop of blood.]
There is a saying that goes 'Essence nourishes the spiritual roots and Qi nourishes the spirit'.
The early practice of a cultivator is essentially about absorbing the essence of all things and nourishing his own spiritual roots.
As the cultivation level improves, the "spiritual energy" produced by the spiritual roots will slowly feed back to the cultivator's soul, so that the cultivator can better perceive and use the great way of heaven and earth.
Therefore, before breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Stage.
Lu Chen's external incarnation has always been limited to the purpose of "clone".
This is because he did not have enough understanding of the "Three Lives" of the incarnation of external Taoism.
Also, his own spiritual strength cannot support more uses.
Even in such a situation, he still brought his innate magical power of the Outer Dao Incarnation to its fullest extent.
For example, using a clone to take over someone else's body and directly control the other person.
However, this method can only be used when the opponent is far weaker than yourself, and his true spirit is damaged, or he is unable to resist.
Otherwise, Lu Chen would not be able to rely on the external incarnation to directly take over the other person's body.
But as he reached the stage of transformation of spirit and integrated his innate magical power of the external incarnation.
This innate magical power has also undergone a qualitative change.
If the previous 'outsider incarnation' was just a kind of 'skill'.
It seems to be "Tao", but its essence is still limited to the scope of "technique".
But as he thoroughly mastered the great principles contained in the 'incarnation of the outsider'.
Today's incarnation of the heretic has completely broken away from the framework of "technique".
Forming a complete "Tao".
The biggest difference between "technique" and "Tao" is that the former is tangible and limited.
The latter is intangible and can be freely expressed.
It can be said that at this point, Lu Chen has the qualifications to establish his own school.
Based on the 'Three Life Principles', he can develop countless 'magic techniques and magical powers' and pass them down.
And what Lu Chen was performing right now was a derivative of the 'Way of Three Lives', which was to transform spirits into weapons.
Based on a wisp of true spirit, countless clones are differentiated.
Each clone only needs to have the power to strike once, without considering any other aspects.
It is a pure...attack technique.
Above Fallen Dragon Lake, countless figures were standing in the sky, controlling swords with their minds.
Dense sword lights and human shadows spread across the sky and earth, with a magnificent momentum.
In contrast, there is the huge "monster" in the sky.
This monster has no head or face, and is strange and bizarre. It looks like a demon but not a demon, and like an object but not an object.
But if you look closely, you can just remove the densely packed body parts and limbs of the monster.
Then this monster looked like a broken arm.
And now, this huge arm of calamity cloud is slowly falling down.
It seemed that he wanted to suppress Lu Chen directly.
However, when the palm of this arm falls to a certain extent.
Countless sword lights rose into the sky.
Those were the thousands of clones that Lu Chen created using his true spirit.
Each time it contained his ultimate sword intent.
Dense sword lights hit Jieyun's palm.
During the collision, Jieyun screamed miserably.
Wherever the sword flashed, blood scattered and limbs flew everywhere.
Unlike ordinary flying swords, the sword rain composed of thousands of flying swords by Lu Chen has the most terrifying thing.
That is, each of these clones contains a part of consciousness.
In other words, each of them can change their attack direction and even the trajectory of the sword according to the situation.
This is undoubtedly a very terrifying thing.
After all, this is equivalent to having countless Lu Chens aiming at Jie Yun's weaknesses and attacking them.
Although this calamity cloud is huge, it contains extremely terrifying karma.
But the threat it brought to Lu Chen was even less than that of the original Jiao.
After all, Jiao's life-long abilities were the result of thousands of years of practice.
But this calamity cloud is not like that.
Although it masters many great principles, it does not know when and what power to use.
It simply doesn't know.
Just like a child holding a weapon, he is unable to exert his full strength.
Plus, Lu Chen is not a cultivator from the Nine Realms.
This makes him completely immune to the control of the Nine Realms Avenue.
All your cultivation can be fully utilized without being weakened in the slightest.
This meant that in this battle between heaven and man, Lu Chen gained the upper hand in just one encounter.
Amidst the myriad sword lights, the palm transformed from the calamity cloud was quickly cut into pieces.
Countless pieces of flesh fell from the sky and landed heavily on the ground.
However, despite suffering such a severe blow, the calamity cloud did not disappear.
Instead, it slowly began to show its ferocity.
"roar!"
A roar, like thunder, appeared in the sky.
Then, countless huge tentacles made of flesh and blood flew out from the calamity cloud and easily dispersed Lu Chen's many clones.
And these tentacles are the "sky thunder" unique to the Nine Realms.
Even the great Dao of heaven and earth can be given life and flesh.
It is not difficult to understand why Tianlei can achieve this.
With the appearance of these tentacles, it would no longer be easy for Lu Chen's clones to easily cut down the calamity cloud.
However, Lu Chen does not only have the method of "turning spirits into soldiers".
I saw the Wushu clones that had originally besieged Jieyun dispersed, standing in the sky, closing their eyes and counting on their fingers.
The next second, sword shadows transformed from sword intent appeared behind these clones.
The four largest sword shadows among them were the ones transformed from behind Lu Chen's body.
The sword formation formed by these four sword shadows was the sword formation that Lu Chen used to kill Wushu.
Just different from before.
This time, there is not only one sword formation to kill the enemy, but there is a main formation and countless sub-formations.
They echoed each other, and finally formed a sea of sword intent that covered the sky and the sun, like endless stars.
The sword intent it condensed was so strong that it seemed to have the power to tear through the sky and reach the heavenly palace.
Under the suppression of the sword intent, the originally arrogant calamity cloud actually showed human-like fear.
But at this moment, Lu Chen and his countless clones who had their eyes closed opened their eyes at the same time.
"punish."
Accompanied by a cold voice, it fell between heaven and earth.
Countless star sea sword formations composed of sword intent in the sky began to fall towards the calamity clouds.
That long and vast river of sword intent, with an aura that runs through eternity, is unstoppable.
Faced with this scene.
The robbery cloud exploded with all its strength in fear.
Countless tentacles fell from the sky, trying to block the vast sword intent.
But Lu Chen watched all this with no fluctuation in his eyes.
Because now is the time to execute him.
