"Why don't you tell me about practicing Qi and cultivating immortality? Maybe I can think of a way to kill you."
"kill me……"
Sure enough, although it seemed that some human nature had been restored, in fact, the other party was still a demon and would not pay attention to the words of the outside world.
She stepped forward, her eyes fixed on the enemy's throat, her heart calm.
The Goddess of Red Sky stepped back, pinched her fingers and chanted a spell in a low voice.
ten meters.
five meters...
When they were only two or three steps apart, the sword in Xi Heng's hand suddenly moved.
The remaining energy surged on the sword, transforming into the last sword of Yueyin. At the moment when the opponent raised his head while staggering, he pierced through the bottom of his chin and stabbed it again.
The sword blade stirred up a strong wind in the air, pierced through the white barrier, and fell to the opponent's neck like lightning.
Just when Xi Heng thought that this sword could only knock the opponent off balance and knock him to the ground, and he was ready to deal with the huge force coming from the hilt of the sword.
The sword blade was sharper than she had imagined, piercing through the opponent's chin and going straight up.
The blade passed through the mouth and nose, continued upward into the eye socket, broke through the brain, and was only blocked by the skull.
"Thanks……"
The demon groaned one last time before losing all his strength and falling to the ground.
"Huh?" Xi Heng thought it was an illusion at first.
For some reason, this demon had completely lost its previous defensive capabilities, and it felt only slightly more resilient to kill than a normal human.
"Because you want to die, you deliberately remove the defense? Is it really possible..."
She could never have imagined that she could easily kill the demon in this way.
Chen Fenghuo, who was standing behind, saw the demon lose his strength and fall to the ground, and was also stunned.
Before the two of them could come to their senses, the surface of the demon's corpse suddenly showed a wave of illusion.
Then, strands of green flowed out from its surface and slowly gathered, first forming a hazy green mist, and then changing into a hazy human shape.
The green color gradually solidified, and the facial features and clothing patterns on the upper body of the human figure became more delicate.
This person is made up of floating and illusory green, and his clothes have many water ripples slowly flowing on them.
"...Soul?" Xi Heng blinked. She had killed so many people, but this was the first time she encountered such a thing.
Are the souls of those who practice Taoism and cultivate Qi very powerful and can emerge spontaneously after death?
The Goddess of Red Sky, who had some basic knowledge of immortals, was stunned for a moment, then approached and said:
"This is a bit of true spirit, the last spiritual thing in human beings."
"Isn't this still a soul?" Xi Heng felt that it was just a difference in the name.
The illusory blue bust in front of her was very similar to the ghost or soul she had seen in the movies.
"The true spirit is something deep within the soul." Chen Fenghuo said simply, and stood up to salute the figure.
"I've met senior."
Xi Heng tilted his head and did not follow the other party in saluting.
The blue soul closed its eyes and did not open its mouth, but it could make an ethereal sound:
"Thank you for setting me free."
"You're welcome." Xi Heng said casually.
"I should return the gift... Just now you asked me about practicing Qi and cultivating immortality, I can give you some answers."
The real spirit in front of him seemed to have lost all emotions. It no longer looked as eager and crazy to die as before, nor did it show any joy after death.
It's like the AI robot in the computer.
"You want to become an immortal, but there are no immortals in this world... We cultivators are just trying to survive in this world." She said:
"Thousands of years ago, the world was in chaos and the spiritual energy was scattered. There is no possibility of ascending to immortality in this world anymore."
After Xi Heng heard this, he asked:
"Then, can the Qi training method you practice lead to immortality?"
“The word ‘immortality’ is nothing but a mirage.” The other party seemed like an AI that would answer any question asked.
"What is the life span of a cultivator?"
"For ordinary Qi training cultivators, it is no more than 130 years, but after building the foundation, it can be increased to 200 years."
"So little." Xi Heng shook his head.
She herself can live for a thousand years now, but the lifespan of these so-called immortal cultivators is only a few decades longer than that of ordinary mortals who know how to preserve their health.
"What level of cultivation do the demons and monsters like you have on the island?" she asked.
“Qi training cultivators cannot bear the might of the blood sea. They must reach the foundation building stage before they have a chance to be affected by the blood sea and transformed into demons. Their souls are sealed, but their bodies remain indestructible.”
"Building the foundation? Is this the realm after Qi training? I thought every cultivator had an indestructible body." Xi Heng breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your so-called Vajra Indestructibility is the indestructible body gained by absorbing the spiritual light of the blood sea. This was originally a method of refining zombies, but the blood catastrophe used the blood sea as a medium and performed it on the body of a cultivator. Although it ultimately failed and could not be controlled, it also trained us into this state of being neither human nor ghost."
Even though it spoke words of hate, the soul still did not show any emotion.
"I see……"
"Practicing Qi and building the foundation, then the next stage is the golden elixir?" Xi Heng asked again.
Not only because of the previous stone tablet, she had also seen similar explanations in some classics of the Great Zhao regarding Qigong and inner alchemy.
Those who set foot on the immortal path first practice Qi, then build a foundation, and then a golden elixir...
"……Yes."
Before answering this time, the soul in front of him was silent for a while, and then added:
"The golden elixir is unattainable."
"Why?"
"The spiritual energy in the immortal realms of the world is too thin to be enough to make a golden elixir."
"Isn't it the case that he is the one who turned you into monsters?" Xi Heng said, thinking about the inscription he had seen before.
If the soul in front of him had any emotions, he would probably be angry with Xi Heng for this offensive remark and punish him.
But she had obviously lost her humanity, and after a moment she gave a blunt answer:
“To refine the outer pill with the Heart of the Sea of Blood, the hatred that needs to be fought is immeasurable… The Blood Tribulation has probably died, and even if he is not dead, he must have become an evil ghost or a demon.”
"Is it possible to succeed? Even one in ten thousand or one in a hundred thousand?" Xi Heng just wanted to know this.
The soul in front of her seemed to be stumped by her question.
The silence at this moment lasted much longer than before.
After more than ten seconds, she replied:
"Have."
"Since there is even that little bit, it is enough." Xi Heng nodded.
As long as she can embark on the path of practicing Qi and cultivating immortals, her psychological lifespan will inevitably increase gradually just like when she first embarked on the path of martial arts.
The Qi training will grow a lot, and so will the foundation building. And in the later Golden Elixir, it should also increase a lot.
Although according to what the other party said, it is almost impossible to achieve the golden elixir.
But, only almost.
Even if the probability is only one in a hundred thousand, Xi Heng can still read the save files, constantly explore and accumulate experience during his promotion, repeating over and over again until he reaches the so-called one in ten thousand.
For ordinary practitioners, failure once may cause great damage to their cultivation, or even lead to insanity and death.
But she can repeat it countless times and accumulate experience during the repetitions, thereby continuously raising her success rate.
It is just like the enhancement of important weapons and equipment in online games. Once everyone else enhances their equipment, it is likely to drop in level or even be directly destroyed.
And if she saves the file before strengthening, she can strengthen it countless times without worrying about any impact and can repeat it until success.
After laughing in his heart, Xi Heng asked a more important question:
"Since the Chonghai Immortal Cultivation Realm has been destroyed, where should I go if I want to find another Immortal Cultivation Realm?"
The immortal realm on the other side of the East mentioned by the Goddess Chi Tian is just a legend.
It would be more credible if I heard it from the mouth of this former true immortal cultivator.
"Since the Chonghai Realm has been destroyed, even if there are other realms in the outside world that are still surviving, you cannot go there." But the other party told him bad news.
Also, it doesn't sound like a lie.
"Why?" Xi Heng narrowed his eyes.
"Any cultivator must rely on the power of a flying boat to cross the realm." The other party said:
"There used to be three flying boats in the Chonghai Realm. Later, one was seized by the Blood Robbery, one was secretly stolen by the Duhai Sect and fled before the Blood Sea invaded, and the other was destroyed by the Blood Sea and turned into countless pieces that sank to the bottom of the sea."
"Is there such a restriction?" Xi Heng frowned.
She thought that as long as she crossed the sea, she didn't need to worry about anything else.
"Without a flying boat to point and locate, and to pass through the layers of illusions, it is impossible to leave the realm where you are."
"Are all the major realms fixed? There is only one place for cultivation in each realm?"
"When the immortals died, all realms had time to concentrate all their efforts and build a soul-locking formation in their own realms." The other party explained:
"Perhaps there are more in other realms with larger forces, but most realms only have one, at least, that's the case in Chonghai Realm."
"Is there no other soul-locking array built by individuals?"
"After the extinction of the immortals, spiritual energy is gone and chaos is imminent. All the lone cultivators or smaller forces have died in the chaos over the past two hundred years. Even if they are not dead, they cannot survive a thousand years in the soul-locking formation in the soulless land outside." The other party's words were quite clear.
"That means... I can't get out?" the girl asked seriously.
"Without the flying boat, there is no hope for eternal life."
After she said this, she disappeared as if she wanted to take revenge on Xi Heng and leave a psychological shadow on her.
The illusory green soul gradually dissipated, the solid and delicate face and clothing patterns became blurred, and finally turned into a light mist, floating in the world.
"Huh? Leaving now?"
Anyone would inevitably feel angry if someone told them that there is no hope of eternal life.
And then he disappeared...
Xi Heng felt powerless as if he raised his fist but couldn't find a target to attack.
She obviously still has many problems.
Do you want to reload the file and ask again? She wanted
However, there is no need to reload the game immediately, as the key points at hand have already been answered.
She wanted to go to other realms to find the world of immortal cultivation, and it seemed that she would need a flying boat.
But now she doesn't even know what the flying boat looks like.
The cyan soul said that there were no more flying boats in this Chonghai realm...
However, Xi Heng did not believe that what the other party said was completely true.
After all, he was just a foundation-building cultivator who was transformed into a demon, not a real god.
Xi Heng shook her head, turned her eyes sideways, and saw the Goddess Chitian who was as lost as she was.
Anyone who seeks the path to immortality will inevitably feel lost when hearing these words from former immortal practitioners.
"Do you believe it?" she asked.
Chen Fenghuo wanted to shake his head, but in the end he just sighed and said, "What the True Spirit said is all what I have experienced and known in my lifetime, so I have to believe it."
"Maybe she herself was deceived and the information she received was not the truth."
Xi Heng said optimistically, and then asked: "Are you going to give up this voyage just because you heard this?"
