God Emperor

Latest website: Buddhist and Taoist monks attach great importance to the cultivation of spiritual power. If even this old monk has not reached the realm of spiritual power sage, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a spiritual power sage in the entire Kunlun world.

Zhang Ruochen had a sad look in his eyes.

The old monk comforted him: "Life and death are destiny, so why force it?"

Zhang Ruochen smiled: "This junior also understands this truth, but when he came to the underworld, he heard the legend of the medicine that brought the dead back to life, so he had some unrealistic hopes."

"Actually, if you can really find the legendary resurrecting medicine, then there is a certain chance that a person who has lost his soul can come back to life." The old monk sat down cross-legged and motioned for Zhang Ruochen to sit down, and then slowly said: "First of all, you have to understand that humans have three souls, the heavenly soul, the earthly soul, and the human soul. The so-called soul is scattered, which means that the human soul among the three souls is shattered and dissipated into nothingness, and it is separated from the heavenly soul and the earthly soul. , it doesn’t matter much.”

It was the first time Zhang Ruochen heard that the human soul was actually divided into three parts. He found it quite strange and asked, "Why don't the heavenly soul and the earthly soul break?"

"It's not that it won't break, but it's more solid and won't break so easily."

"For example, Earth Soul."

"The so-called earth soul is equivalent to the shadow of a person."

"As long as the human body exists, the earth soul will always exist. After a person dies, he is buried in the soil. When the body merges with the earth, turning into bones, soil, and dust, the earth soul will also merge with the earth. One body. Then, through the growth of all things, it returns to the human body. From this, new life will be born."

"So, even if a person's soul is gone, as long as the earthly soul is not destroyed, he can still be reborn, and it is not considered a true death."

Zhang Ruochen said: "Is this really the case?"

The old monk smiled and said: "Not necessarily, everyone's understanding of life is completely different. There are also some ancient sages who claim that the soul of the earth will not dissipate or merge into the earth, but will enter the so-called underworld and the underworld. ."

"There is also a situation where the dead person dies at a special time or place, and the earthly soul can fall off the body and turn into a fierce ghost."

Zhang Ruochen said: "So, the earth soul is a ghost?"

"You can understand it this way." The old monk said.

Zhang Ruochen thought for a moment and said: "I understand! The reason why so many ghosts are born in the underworld is because it is a special world. When corpses floated from the upper reaches of the Corpse River enter the underworld, the ghosts will Break away from the corpse and turn into a ghost. In the Kunlun world, places similar to the underworld are quite rare, so people rarely become ghosts after death."

"That's true."

The old monk added another sentence, saying: "Whoever can understand the secrets of the underworld may be able to live forever."

Zhang Ruochen asked: "Then what is Tianhun?"

"Both the heavenly soul and the earthly soul are not in the human body. The earthly soul is the shadow under the feet, but the heavenly soul is a part of the heaven. It is more ethereal and illusory than the earthly soul. Most people cannot sense the existence of the heavenly soul at all."? "Only Qi practitioners in ancient times knew how to communicate with the Heavenly Soul and even cultivate the Heavenly Soul. They called the Heavenly Soul the Yuanshen, and through the cultivation of the Heavenly Soul, they could gain immortality."

"However, the secret method of cultivation in ancient times has been lost long ago, and now no one can communicate with the heavenly soul. All the martial souls and holy souls cultivated by the monks in Kunlun Realm are actually just cultivating human souls."

Zhang Ruochen's heart moved and he asked: "Can the resurrection medicine help the dead to communicate with the soul of heaven and come back to life?"

The old monk nodded and said: "Theoretically, it is indeed the case."

Zhang Ruochen thought of Xuanji Sword Master. Although Xuanji Sword Master's human soul had been broken, the earth soul and heaven soul were not destroyed.

Others may not know how to communicate with the Heavenly Soul, but the Heaven-Connecting Divine Tree certainly can.

This is because Jietian Shen Mu Nai grew up from the birth of the Kunlun world to the Middle Ages. He has experienced every era and may also know the cultivation methods of ancient Qi practitioners. Each annual ring on the tree trunk is a volume of historical documents, recording the richest knowledge.

Since the Heaven-Connecting Divine Tree is injecting wisps of life energy into Xuanji Sword Master's body, there is a certain hope that it can help Xuanji Sword Master communicate with the heavenly soul and come back to life.

Now, we just need an opportunity and an introduction.

At this moment, Mu Lingxi, who had fallen into a deep sleep, let out a soft groan and slowly woke up.

Zhang Ruochen stared at her. Her eyes were also fixed on Zhang Ruochen, and both of them smiled slightly.

Although he is always around, it gives people a feeling of seeing him again after a long separation.

The old monk also showed a wise smile and continued: "You two are both gifted talents. It is rare to find one in a thousand years. But now you two are together. It is a match made in heaven."? Mu Lingxi A rare blush appeared on his face, and he looked a little shy and said: "Senior, he and I are just senior brothers and sisters."

"Whether they are siblings or lovers, it is not easy to be together. You must cherish it."

The old monk stared at Zhang Ruochen and asked, "The donor should be practicing the Five Elements Chaos Body, right? Has he reached the level of the Four Spirit Treasure Body?"

"That's right." Zhang Ruochen said.

The old monk pondered for a moment and said: "Since you met the poor monk, and the poor monk owes you a huge favor, then the poor monk will help you. Of course, whether you can succeed or not depends on yourself. If so, You can cultivate the Five Elements Chaos Body, which is a huge blessing."

Zhang Ruochen has already cultivated into the Water Spirit Treasure Body, the Wood Spirit Treasure Body, the Earth Spirit Treasure Body, and the Fire Spirit Treasure Body. Now, all he has to do is refine the golden divine mushroom and cultivate it into the Golden Spirit Treasure Body. Then, he can complete the Five Elements Chaos Body.

It is already extremely difficult to cultivate the Four Spirit Treasure Body. With Zhang Ruochen's own strength, it is impossible to successfully cultivate the Five Elements Chaos Body in the Fish and Dragon Realm.

However, the old monk was a very powerful man. With his help, Zhang Ruochen could give it a try.

"If you want to cultivate into the Five Elements Chaos Body, you must endure pain that is unbearable for ordinary people. The test of your willpower will even exceed the test of your physical body."

The old monk raised his arms, and hundreds of golden flames flew out from his palms, wrapping Zhang Ruochen's body, causing him to fly slowly.

"Bang!"

Immediately afterwards, the old monk struck out with a palm, hitting Zhang Ruochen's chest, sending Zhang Ruochen flying backwards. All the bones in his body seemed to be displaced, and his internal organs seemed to be broken.

"Bang bang."

The old monk continued to strike, and his palm prints continued to fall on Zhang Ruochen's body, hitting every part of his body.

With a palm strike, a golden flame merged into Zhang Ruochen's body. Each golden flame is a small ball of burning golden medicinal powder.

After making hundreds of palm prints in succession, Zhang Ruochen felt numb all over his body and in excruciating pain. His body was in tatters, with dense cracks appearing, as if it would fall apart with just a light touch.

The old monk had no intention of letting him go, but instead drove him into the magma ocean, soaking his body in the hot magma.

The golden magma even poured into the cracks in Zhang Ruochen's body, burning Zhang Ruochen's flesh and blood until he made a "chipping" sound.

Even with Zhang Ruochen's willpower, a low roar came out of his mouth, and there was a feeling that life was worse than death.

Mu Lingxi stood on the shore, biting her lips, feeling very unbearable. She looked at the old monk and said, "Senior..." But the old monk shook his head and said, "You can only be human if you have to endure hardships." Master. He is destined to become an indomitable saint in the future, so he must make more efforts and endure greater pain. Besides, there is residual divine power blended into the magma, which has infinite effects on his body. The benefits. As long as his willpower is strong enough, he will definitely be able to survive."

Five days later, Zhang Ruochen's physical body recovered again. Even if it was soaked in magma, it was no longer so painful.

However, the old monk fished him out and forced the powder of golden magic mushroom out of his body.

After hundreds of palms, Zhang Ruochen's body became tattered again, and he continued to return to the magma ocean to nourish his body and endure huge pain.

Mu Lingxi had been staying by Zhang Ruochen's side, but the old monk was busy with other things.

The old monk walks around the volcano, and with every step he takes, he will carve a golden Buddhist inscription on the mountain. Mu Lingxi couldn't understand what he was doing, so she didn't ask.

In her heart, nothing is more important than Zhang Ruochen's safety.

This time, it took ten days for Zhang Ruochen to recover.

"Bang bang."

Next, after another beating, the old monk injected all the medicinal powder of the golden magic mushroom into Zhang Ruochen's body.

Zhang Ruochen fainted and fell into the depression at the edge of the magma ocean. Only his upper body was exposed, and blood continued to flow from his body.

The old monk said: "If he can survive this test, he can achieve the Five Elements Chaos Body."

Mu Lingxi looked at Zhang Ruochen's injured body and saw blood flowing out from the head and bone seams. Tears kept streaming from her eyes, and she said, "What if...he can't survive this test?"

"If you can't survive, you will die. If you want to become a strong man who can stand upright, you will always have to take greater risks than ordinary people. If he does not take such risks, he will not be able to cultivate into the Five Elements Chaos Body."

After saying this, the old monk left again.

Mu Lingxi glanced at the old monk's back and realized for the first time that this so-called holy monk was so ruthless.

At least, in her heart, she hoped that Zhang Ruochen could live well instead of risking his life to cultivate the Five Elements Chaos Body.

…

(Everyone should have guessed the identity of the old monk, right?

The next two chapters will fill in all the pitfalls of the journey to the underworld and bring it to a close.
