Chapter 730: The sea of soul and consciousness, the opportunity to become a god!
According to the records in "Purple Mansion Divine Treasure", the cultivators in Suling Palace who were once parasitized by Purple Mansion all relied on this method to advance to the God Transformation stage and became slaves of Purple Mansion. They nurtured the growth of Purple Mansion at the cost of sacrificing their own souls, so that they could pass through the God Transformation stage.
Gu Xiu did not agree with this approach.
The risk is too great, the sacrifice is too great, and even from another perspective, this is a method of making sacrifices just to break through the realm, so Gu Xiu has no intention of trying it, nor does he intend to take this path.
Now Gu Xiu still has no intention of doing so.
But he still chose to cut off his own soul because he wanted to make an attempt and conduct a verification.
"hiss--!"
The moment the sharp sword of the soul, under Gu Xiu's control, slashed towards his purple palace, intense pain instantly came over his body, causing Gu Xiu to tremble uncontrollably. This was the pain of the soul, which was impossible to resist and unable to defend against.
This kind of pain was still unbearable, even though Gu Xiu had endured three years of torture from soul injuries, and had since shattered his own soul and reshaped it, and had experienced even more painful things. However, no matter how unbearable it was, Gu Xiu could only grit his teeth and persevere, firmly controlling the soul blade to cut his own soul.
at last.
When the intense pain reached its peak, the shadow in Gu Xiu's sea of consciousness was finally torn apart!
According to the method in "Purple Mansion Divine Treasure".
Next, you need to put this piece of soul into the Purple Palace.
but……
Before Gu Xiu could feed it, he saw that the purple palace over there was shaking violently. Then the purple mist that had appeared before also quickly spread out and came towards Gu Xiu's broken soul.
Gu Xiu thought that Zi Fu was here to steal food.
But I didn't expect it.
When the purple mist enveloped the soul fragment, it did not drag it back to the Purple Palace to devour it. Instead, it guided the soul back into the shadow, and driven by those forces, it began to repair its injuries. In just a moment, the soul fragment that Gu Xiu had cut off by himself returned to his body.
even.
They all seemed to have become a little stronger!
This discovery made Gu Xiu's eyes brighten instantly:
"My guess was correct."
"My relationship with Zifu is different from the one recorded in Suling Palace!"
"If the records of the Soul Tracing Palace say that the relationship between cultivators and the Purple Mansion is that of host and parasite, then the relationship between me and this Purple Mansion doesn't seem to be like that. This Purple Mansion has no ill will towards me."
"The most important thing is..."
"Since they already know that the Purple Mansion has no ill will towards me, and there's no need for me to sever my own soul and feed it with my body, then it means that my failure to reach the Spiritual Transformation stage isn't because the Purple Mansion is deliberately targeting me. On the contrary, it's likely that there's still something missing in the development of my sea of consciousness. At least, the Purple Mansion must feel that there's something missing, which is why it keeps causing my sea of consciousness to collapse."
"but……"
"If there is something missing in the development of my sea of consciousness, then what is missing?"
This discovery is actually very important.
It even directly determined Gu Xiu's next direction.
"My sea of consciousness was developed normally according to the conventional way. Since this is not up to standard, then perhaps I should think about whether there are other ways to make the sea of consciousness more powerful?" Gu Xiu muttered to himself and began to think.
The power of the soul has always been an extremely mysterious power.
The sea of consciousness of the soul, which is equivalent to the qi sea and dantian, is obviously more mysterious. Gu Xiu can only recall everything he knows about the sea of consciousness of the soul in his mind.
"The conventional sea of consciousness development is actually nothing more than the same as the Qi sea and Dantian development during Qi refining. Using one's own spiritual energy, one can continuously dig out piece after piece of chaos, expanding the scope of the sea of qi, so that it can accommodate more spiritual energy in the future, making it more abundant than that of ordinary people."
"If the soul sea of consciousness is compared to the qi sea and dantian, then the soul power is similar to spiritual energy. To open up the sea of consciousness, I need to control my soul power to the extreme. Theoretically, if I reach the level where I can break through to the spirit transformation realm, and I don't rush to break through to the spirit transformation realm, but continue to open up my sea of consciousness, I can indeed open up a larger sea of consciousness."
"only……"
"The sea of consciousness and the sea of qi are different after all."
"The Qi Sea and Dantian are the place where spiritual energy can be continuously supplied. The function of the Qi Sea is to store spiritual energy. In this case, the Qi Sea has expanded its range. The most intuitive change is that I can accommodate more spiritual energy than others. That's why I can even exhaust cultivators of the same or even higher levels to death."
"But the soul sea of consciousness is different. The soul will not grow. At least I can't make it grow for the time being."
"In this case, what's the point of expanding the scope of the sea of consciousness?"
"Could it be that this Purple Mansion wants to reside here, and therefore wants my sea of consciousness to be able to perfectly accommodate it?"
Gu Xiu was a little confused.
However, despite his doubts, he did not stop. At this moment, he had begun to try to open up his sea of consciousness again. The difference from before was that this time, Gu Xiu's goal was not only to reach the requirements of the God Transformation Realm, but to continue to expand it with all his strength after reaching the requirements of the God Transformation Realm.
This is actually very difficult.
Because to open up the sea of consciousness, one needs to have one's own understanding of the soul, and one must have absolute control over one's own soul.
The difference between using spiritual energy to open up the Qi Sea and the Dantian is that, to open up the Qi Sea, one only needs to control the spiritual energy to continuously fill it in, and dig in desperately. But the Sea of Consciousness is different. While the Sea of Consciousness is constantly expanding outward, the already opened Sea of Consciousness also requires mental effort to maintain.
This results in an increase in difficulty.
But the good thing is.
Gu Xiu is now practicing again. He had opened up his sea of consciousness five hundred years ago and had his own experience. Not to mention the methods left by Mu Nange and the woman in the sedan chair in his sea of consciousness. What they both left behind was not pure power, but some of their own experience and insights.
With the help of such experience, Gu Xiu's opening of his sea of consciousness this time was extremely smooth.
In the blink of an eye.
The sea of consciousness has reached the point where it can impact the state of becoming a god.
But Gu Xiu did not attack.
Instead, continue to open up the sea of consciousness.
really.
Since he did not reach the stage of spiritual transformation, the Purple Palace remained silent and did not take action like before to collapse the sea of consciousness he had opened up.
"Guessed it right!"
"I have been unable to reach the Spiritual Transformation stage because my sea of consciousness has not been developed enough!"
Gu Xiu's eyes lit up and he was a little surprised, but at this time, he didn't dare to be distracted too much. At this moment, he once again began to mobilize his spiritual power with all his strength and continued to expand outward.
soon.
Gu Xiu's sea of consciousness has expanded by 10%!
Next is 20%!
Thirty percent!
Until when Gu Xiu's sea of consciousness had exceeded the range required for the transformation of the spirit by 50%, the development of Gu Xiu's sea of consciousness finally began to slow down gradually and reached its limit.
It’s not that I can no longer control the power of my soul.
Rather, the power of his soul has reached its limit.
Even this was only possible because of the soul growth brought about by the previous Mi character and Diyunya. Otherwise, even if Gu Xiu had the help of the Queen of the Underworld and the woman in the sedan chair, it would not be possible to open up the sea of consciousness to this extent. The most obvious effect of such full-scale opening up of the sea of consciousness was that Gu Xiu felt tired and even his eyelids began to twitch.
This is caused by excessive use of spiritual power.
But Gu Xiu didn't dare to close his eyes and sleep. He bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to stay awake!
His soul has reached its limit, and his sea of consciousness has been expanded to the point where it cannot be expanded any further. He must seize this opportunity and try to break through to the state of spiritual enlightenment again!
only……
unexpected.
At the moment when Gu Xiu tried to break through to the God Transformation stage, a purple light emerged from his Purple Palace, which had been silent until now, causing the sea of consciousness that he had worked so hard to open up to collapse once again!
"what happened?"
"Isn't it enough?"
"Or……"
"Did I guess wrong?"
Gu Xiu frowned.
His sea of consciousness has reached its limit. After all, the power of his soul is limited. If he wants to continue to expand it, it will be impossible to continue to expand his sea of consciousness unless his soul power can be strengthened again.
Even Gu Xiu began to doubt whether he had guessed wrong.
However, just when he was having doubts, he saw the light flashing in the purple palace, and the fatigue brought by Gu Xiu's opening up of the sea of consciousness was swept away, and the power of his soul returned to its peak state again.
"Does this mean that..."
"I'm not wrong. I've found the right direction, but my sea of consciousness still can't meet the requirements of the Purple Mansion?"
Gu Xiu murmured, with some guesses in his mind.
Just at this time.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
"Our reinforcements are here, this guy is definitely going to die this time!"
"Gu Xiu, you dare to rob Liangu City from my Tiangong Holy Land. I want to see how you face our army!"
In the distance, waves of terrifying spiritual energy appeared, accompanied by densely packed figures rushing towards them. Some were wearing the clothes of the Tiangong Holy Land, and some did not even have time to take off the black robes of the hidden windows. Gu Xiu could see that the supreme beings who had blocked the way before had also arrived.
With the arrival of these people, the monks from the Tiangong Holy Land who had been forcefully driven out by Gu Xiu before were now looking at him with gloating expressions, obviously expecting him to die on the spot and pay the price for the previous city capture.
but……
Gu Xiu didn't pay much attention to these people rushing over. Instead, he looked at the leader who had been driven away earlier and asked, "What did you say just now? What has arrived?"
"Reinforcements! Our reinforcements have arrived!" The man sneered, "Gu Xiu, you absolutely shouldn't have come to my Tiangong Holy Land and brought bad luck upon yourself. You..."
The other party was still talking arrogantly.
But Gu Xiu turned a deaf ear to the other party's subsequent words and instead muttered:
"Reinforcements..."
"Reinforcements..."
"My sea of consciousness cannot continue to develop because my own spiritual power has reached its limit."
"But if..."
Suddenly, Gu Xiu glanced at the sea of consciousness that had turned into a wasteland again, or rather the purple palace in the sea of consciousness, and a bold idea came to his mind:
"I have reinforcements too."
