A life of clearness

Chapter 101: What kind of destruction is it?
"……it is good."

Shen Zhanyan and Rong Qing are now in the same boat, so she can only agree.

She could see that Rong Qing's sea of ​​consciousness had become extremely violent after being penetrated by the blood-red destructive thunder.

It was like a blind person, whose eyes still existed but could not see. Similarly, although the sea of ​​consciousness was a part of Rong Qing, she could not do whatever she wanted and perfectly control all the activities of the sea of ​​consciousness.

Rong Qing's bright red eyes swept over, making Shen Zhanyan instinctively feel fearful.

For Rong Qing herself, this feeling was not a pleasant one either.

He wanted to reach out and crush Shen Zhanyan's head, and absorb all the remaining energy of her soul.

She also wanted to use the soul-searching secret technique to read her various experiences. After all... she knew too little, which was very disadvantageous. She had no preparation to deal with this strange thunder that broke into her sea of ​​​​consciousness and affected her thoughts.

It's too frustrating.

"I remember... this soul-searching secret technique is stored on the first floor of the tower. I only need a moment to learn it. From now on, I can know whatever I want to know. I don't have to wonder if others are plotting against me." Rong Qing's eyes flashed, "Although this moment must be used at the critical moment of life and death, isn't it worthwhile to use it here?"

For example, Shen Zhanyan's soul secret method made Rong Qing very coveted. Shen Zhanyan's soul was damaged to the point that only a head was left, but she could still retain a clear and complete will consciousness. This was incredible. If Rong Qing could obtain this soul secret method, she would have a better grasp of dealing with the impact of the destructive thunder.

Shen Zhanyan saw Rong Qing's eyes flickering, as if she was thinking of all kinds of evil thoughts... She fixed her pretty face and said, "You need to concentrate and think quietly now. I can use my clan's secret method to help you stabilize your sea of ​​consciousness and reduce the impact of the destructive thunder on your mind."

"Okay, I'll help you as much as I can." Rong Qing answered with some difficulty. In her mind, not to mention helping Shen Zhanyan, not swallowing her alive was a great act of patience. "You already knew that when you temper your body with thunder, you can trigger strange and special thunder, right?"

Shen Zhanyan did not answer. The layers of light cocoons protecting her opened like petals. With the huge light as the center, thousands of thin and weak silver threads burst out and extended towards Rong Qing's vast sea of ​​consciousness. This extension was not simple, but outlined a complex secret text, which seemed to be faintly gathering the blood-colored thunder that melted in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Searching, capturing, binding... Rong Qing tried her best to suppress the frenzy caused by the destructive thunder, making it easier for Shen Zhanyan to perform the secret technique. At the same time, she did not forget to monitor the changes brought about by this secret technique.

Rong Qing snorted in her heart. Although Shen Zhanyan did not answer, it was not difficult for her to guess that these geniuses who had reached the state of transformation of spirits definitely knew that this special kind of thunder could be triggered when the body was tempered to a certain degree... Maybe they even knew exactly which types there were.

"now it's right."

"They will do their best to help improve their physical bodies, and their goal is to attract thunder. Thunder that can only temper the body is not enough, because they are here as their souls. Therefore, it must be thunder that can also affect the souls."

"I don't have a soul. Even if I'm halfway to becoming a god... my soul-infant still exists in Xugu Dantian. As a result, my sea of ​​consciousness has suffered."

Rong Qing's mind raced. Even though her mind was affected by the annihilation thunder and became full of evil thoughts, irritable and crazy, it did not affect her thinking.

Even though her spiritual awareness had reached an unprecedented level due to the annihilation thunder merging into her sea of ​​consciousness, it was a height she had never reached before.

As long as she continued to let the destruction thunder go, and even attracted more destruction thunder at all costs, her strength would increase by dozens or hundreds of times in a short period of time. It was no exaggeration to say that she was ascending to heaven in one step.

From now on, this half step... can be eliminated. As long as she can rival a god, then she can become a god.

Moreover, she really wanted to know to what extent this destructive thunder could enhance her strength...

"What are you thinking about!!" Shen Zhanyan looked at Rong Qing and shouted urgently.

The silver thread, which had initially shown some effect, curled up and retreated in front of the suddenly surging blood-red ocean.

Rong Qing's huge spiritual platform was completely submerged in the sea of ​​blood and could not be seen clearly.

This loud shout finally brought Rong Qing some clarity. She raised her hand and threw the sword in her hand, which landed accurately on top of her spiritual platform.

"Om-"

The sword light in the sword intent was like a rainbow, piercing through the blood-colored ocean, like a pillar supporting the sky. It forcefully swept away the "sea water" above the spiritual platform, returning the spiritual platform to a clear state.

The bloody seawater struggled to retreat when it encountered the sword intent, not daring to attack. However, it kept circling around the spiritual platform, staring at it eagerly.

Seeing this, Rong Qing took a step and appeared on the spiritual platform. Now it was the only place she could control.

She closed her eyes and began an operation that had always been unfamiliar to her - controlling her sea of ​​consciousness.

"It turns out that the sea of ​​consciousness can also be robbed... just like the physical body can be possessed and hosted." After seeing the changes brought about by the destructive thunder, Rong Qing couldn't help but think, "Then what is really left of me? Is it my mind?... It's right to think so. If the mind is usurped, then 'I' will naturally no longer exist. Perhaps... the mind is the real self."

Such a vague thought flashed through his mind.

At present, Rong Qing still has to try his best to suppress the destructive thunder that has merged into his sea of ​​consciousness.

The silver thread merged into the bloody seawater and its existence could not be seen at all. However, as time passed... there were changes in Rong Qing's vast sea of ​​consciousness.

One after another, huge whirlpools appeared, roaring and spinning. There were hundreds of thousands of these whirlpools, surrounding the spiritual platform. There were more than 30,000 huge whirlpools, and the smaller ones were densely packed, close to 200,000.

These vortices, with the sword light as the center, were randomly distributed around them. They were vaguely similar to the layout of the heavens and myriad worlds, but Rong Qing was not clear about it now.

In the vortex, there was a scarlet color that could not be dissolved, and when it was gathered together, it was almost black. The farther away from the center of the vortex, the lighter the color became. Outside the vortex, the influence of the blood color was completely eliminated, and Rong Qing was completely in control.

"It took a full month." Although Rong Qing's eyes were still bright red, her frenzy had diminished a lot. "To have such a result, in addition to my efforts, the ability of that Divine Transformation Female Cultivator... I have a new understanding."

Originally, Rong Qing, apart from seeing the peculiarities of the Yuanshen secret technique used by Shen Zhanyan, was somewhat dismissive of the protective power of this secret technique itself.

You must know that Shen Zhanyan is a fourth-floor, while Rong Qing is only a first-floor. The life-saving secret method performed by a fourth-floor seemed a little weak in the face of Rong Qing's sea of ​​consciousness absorption power?
This... is so useless!

However, after seeing the results of the past month, Rong Qing knew that she was wrong.

Big mistakes.

The specialness of its soul secret technique is enough to completely make up for its weakness in defense. Rong Qing even guessed with some fear: Shen Zhanyan's soul is only left with the last bit, and her mind is still clear and intact...

Thinking of this, Rong Qing once again became eager to learn the art of soul searching.

"I told you to concentrate and think quietly." Shen Zhanyan said coldly, and even added, "Don't hold me back."

The blood-colored vortex was extremely sensitive to the fluctuations in Rong Qing's sea of ​​consciousness caused by the changes in his mind, and struggled with the silver thread holding him in place.

"...I know." He curled his lips.

"You said this is the destructive thunder, what's so mysterious about it?" Rong Qing asked.

Now that the two of them had temporarily controlled the situation in their sea of ​​consciousness, Rong Qing naturally wanted to find out what was going on. Of course, even though they were asking questions, the two of them still focused almost all of their attention on these whirlpools.

It was good news that the situation was initially under control. However, considering that the two had practiced Taoism for hundreds or even thousands of years, they would not let down their guard.

"This thunder is the most peculiar type of thunder generated by the Ten Thousand Laws Stele Forest." Shen Zhanyan explained calmly. "In addition to the Destruction Thunder, the other three types of thunder that can be found in our world are the East Ruins, the Eternal Age, and the Time Thunder, each with its own special features. Perhaps the incarnation gods in other worlds can also trigger other thunders... In short, this Destruction Thunder is the most difficult to deal with."

"It directly affects the soul and arouses evil thoughts in the heart. This is a test. If you can pass it, you can use this thunder for your own benefit. When you use it in a fight, not only will the thunder power be amazing, but it will also make the opponent's mind unstable, and even overturn the outcome of a battle."

In Shen Zhanyan's words, she highly praised the destructive thunder!

"Use it for your own use?" Rong Qing immediately grasped the key point.

Judging from the current situation, the control of this destructive thunder has only achieved initial results. Just like this... a month has passed. If you want to completely subdue this thunder, it will take more than a year, Rong Qing believes.

This means that Rong Qing will not have other opportunities. She must use this thunder for her own benefit, otherwise this time will be wasted.

"Yes. But unfortunately..." Shen Zhanyan looked at Rong Qing, "You don't have a soul, so it's impossible for this lightning to recognize its master. Even if I help you control this lightning, you only have this one lightning. As you use it, it will be consumed."

But it is different if you have a primordial spirit. After recognizing the master of the Destruction Thunder, it can exist in the primordial spirit, and through the primordial spirit's nourishment, the thunder will not be destroyed. Only in this way can it be considered a blessing.

Without a soul, Rong Qing could not truly recognize the Destruction Thunder. Just like water without roots, no matter how sparingly it is used, it will eventually run out. In other words, Rong Qing could only use it as a life-saving trump card. If she really wanted to use it in a fight, the Destruction Thunder was an expensive and precious item that she could not afford to consume.

Rong Qing did not comment on Shen Zhanyan's words, but just said, "Just because you don't have a soul now doesn't mean you won't have one in the future."

By controlling this destructive thunder in the sea of ​​consciousness, there is no need to worry about not finding an opportunity to make it recognize its master in the future.

Hearing this, Shen Zhanyan didn't know if she should smile too confidently. "From half-step to the God of Transformation, there is a big threshold. It's not just luck that can make up for the gap."

Rong Qing didn't reply.

At this point, the two fell into silence. But the passage of time did not stop in their silence.

……

There are only two days left before the three-year deadline.

Although the lead-gray fog was blocking the way, the actual straight-line distance between Yan Wuji and Rong Qing was only 20,000 feet.

He had been sitting cross-legged in meditation here for more than a year. At this moment, he stood up and stretched his muscles. As his body stretched, the sound of his bones crackling could be heard frequently.

Yan Wuji clenched his right fist, and punched in a random direction...

A long and narrow passage appeared in the thick fog, with no end in sight. This punch seemed to have no momentum, but the power contained in it was extremely astonishing.

"Almost done." After tempering his body to this level, Yan Wuji was barely satisfied. After all, it was not his own body, and...he had obtained the fate of thunder!
He flew towards Rong Qingzhi, a distance of 20,000 feet, not far, especially at his high speed.

"If I am not mistaken, that blood-colored thunder should be the thunder of destruction." A purple light flashed across Yan Wuji's eyes, which looked a bit evil.

"I just don't know if what you got, Shen Zhanyan...was it a small destruction, or a big destruction?"
