Chapter 580: Who uses whom?
Beihai Yumo City, on the top of a high mountain where the City Lord’s Mansion is located.
Chen Jiu sat cross-legged silently in the quiet room of the small courtyard on the top of the mountain, practicing the newly purchased martial arts.
Originally, he had little time to practice, and he couldn't even spare the time to comprehend the Way of Heaven.
However, this "Gathering Yuanying" must be practiced. Not only him, but all the demon gods, true gods, true monarchs, heavenly masters, and ancestors must practice it, especially those who are participating in the war in the Demon-Suppressing City, they must all practice it.
You can stop practicing the Nine-Bend Formation and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation for a while, and start practicing the "Gathering Yuanying" right away.
Because this is a technique specifically designed to deal with extraterritorial demons. It can not only deal with the bloodthirsty demon clan, but also other demon clans.
To be honest, if someone attacks them physically, they are not afraid of any powerful attack, because they have a large formation and divine armor, so they can resist physical attacks without much problem.
This soul attack is different. Possession is so terrifying that he cannot even guarantee that he will not be possessed by others. If a bunch of ancestors rush up to beat him up desperately, and he cannot absorb all the energy, then it’s over. As long as one of the ancestors’ souls gets into his mind, he may be possessed by others.
If it weren't for the lesson from the Lord of the Red Lotus World, he might not have believed that the Demon Ancestor from Extraterritorial Heaven would be so desperate. But the Lotus Fairy said that dozens of Demon Ancestors from Extraterritorial Heaven besieged her father!
He is an existence beyond God, he is the master of a world, and he is still in his own world. Even the ancestors of the demons from outside the domain dare to rush up and beat him up. He is not even an ancestor, just a super powerful Heavenly Lord. It would be strange if others don't dare to rush up and beat him up.
So, he put aside all the things at hand and concentrated on practicing "Gathering Yuanying".
At this time, in his huge demonic power space, a soul body tens of thousands of feet tall was sitting silently in the void, comprehending the "Gathering Yuanying" technique. To put it simply, "Gathering Yuanying" was to condense one's own soul body and make it the size of a Yuanying, so that one could protect one's soul in the mind.
This technique is the opposite of the technique used by the bloodthirsty demon to cultivate his physical body. The smaller the Nascent Soul is, the greater its power will be. If one can shrink the Primordial Spirit by about a hundred times, then it is considered to have reached the first level. The Nascent Soul will be already quite strong. If the spirit of a general demon from outside the domain rushes over, it will be slapped away with just one slap.
If you can shrink your Nascent Soul by about five hundred times, that means you have reached the third level. The Nascent Soul is like wearing fairy armor, and it can basically not be hurt by attacks from the soul. If you can shrink it by about one thousand times, that means you have reached the sixth level. The Nascent Soul is like wearing divine armor, and its defense is terrifyingly high, and its explosive power is also quite amazing . It will be no problem for it to jump out of your mind and chase after the soul of an extraterritorial demon to beat it up.
The problem is that his soul body seems to be too big.
"Gathering Yuanying" does not mean to condense all the souls into Yuanying. After all, if all the souls are condensed into Yuanying, the physical body will no longer be controlled by the soul. The art of Yuanshen does not mean to condense all the souls into Yuanshen. No matter what, a part of the soul must be left to control the physical body.
This "Gathering Yuanying" starts with condensing about 10% of the soul into a Yuanying, and then slowly adds more soul to it, constantly refining it.
If it is a normal true god, no matter what level he has cultivated to, his Nascent Soul is still the same size, which is the size that protects the entire brain, roughly about three inches in size.
In fact, he also followed the "Gathering Yuanying" technique, first gathering about 10% of the soul into a Yuanshen body to condense the Yuanying.
The problem is that his soul is too powerful. Just about one tenth of his soul body is tens of thousands of feet tall!
In general, the primordial body composed of most of the spirit soul of a true god is only a few hundred feet high at most, and those with weak spirit soul are only a few dozen feet high. Therefore, if someone takes out about 10% of the spirit soul and condenses it into a primordial body, it is only about three feet high. If it is condensed and shrunk a hundred times, it will be about three inches high.
The soul body composed of this one tenth of his spirit is tens of thousands of feet tall. Even if it is condensed and shrunk a hundred times, it is still hundreds of feet tall!
A Nascent Soul this big can no longer be called a Nascent Soul. It is a giant, a super giant!
However, this doesn't seem to matter. It doesn't seem to make much difference whether the Nascent Soul covers the entire mind or the entire body. As long as it can protect the entire mind, it will be fine.
If the Nascent Soul is three inches in size, it can only cover the brain, which is also the most basic protection. If the Nascent Soul is about one foot in size, it can cover the entire head, which is naturally better. The other person's soul can be slapped away before it can get into the brain.
The power that this technique can exert is actually closely related to the strength of the soul. The soul body of an ordinary True Lord, which is composed of about 10% of the soul, is actually several dozen feet in size. After condensing and shrinking it a hundred times, it is only a few feet in size, which can almost protect the entire body.
The soul body of an ordinary Heavenly Venerable, which is composed of about 10% of its spirit, is hundreds of feet long. After being condensed and shrunk a hundred times, it is still only about ten feet high. The spirit of an extraterritorial demon will be knocked away before it even gets within ten feet.
This technique is indeed very powerful. No matter what, let's try to condense it first.
Chen Jiu used his powerful soul to silently comprehend the "Gathering Yuanying" technique and practiced it non-stop. After an unknown amount of time, his Yuanying body, which was tens of thousands of feet tall, suddenly collapsed and shrank into a Yuanying over a hundred feet tall.
At this time, his soul body had become quite solid. The soul mist state of the demon from outside the domain was like dough in front of his condensed Nascent Soul. He could definitely be slapped away with one slap. It was impossible for him to be possessed by someone else. With such a solid Nascent Soul protecting him, his soul was like wearing armor. The soul of the demon from outside the domain could not penetrate his Nascent Soul and get into his mind.
Of course, this armor is not real armor. The soul is the soul, and the body is the body. There is an essential difference between the two.
For example, even if he was wearing divine armor on his physical body, he couldn't stop the soul fog composed of the soul of the extraterritorial demon. Even if he had a divine weapon, he couldn't cut through the soul fog.
The soul is like an illusion, it is illusory, not real. Therefore, you cannot break the soul fog with your bare hands. You can only pass through it. Only when the soul is solid can you break someone else's soul.
This solidification does not mean condensing into a physical entity. No matter how solid the soul is, it is still illusory and can still pass through , or attach itself to one's own body. This solidification is relative to other souls, just like the body of the primordial spirit. If it is not solid, it is useless for the body of the primordial spirit to shoot at the soul mist, and it will just be like two phantoms passing by each other.
Chen Jiu comprehended silently and practiced non-stop, while his Nascent Soul continued to condense and shrink, more than fifty feet, more than twenty feet, more than ten feet, about eight feet, about six feet, about four feet, about two feet, about ten feet, and about half a foot!
He actually cultivated all the way to the peak of "Gathering Yuanying", and directly condensed the Yuanshen body that was tens of thousands of feet tall into a Yuanying of about half a foot.
The way he practiced was actually a bit of a shortcut. According to the method, he should have continuously injected his spirit and soul to keep his Nascent Soul at the size of one layer.
However, that is for ordinary true gods. There is no need for him to inject soul again, because it is not good if the Nascent Soul is too big, and people can see the shadow of the Nascent Soul at a glance.
At this time, his Nascent Soul was almost the same size as his physical body. He simply attached his Nascent Soul to his physical body. The size was just right and it overlapped perfectly with his physical body.
At this time, his physical body is like a piece of iron plate comparable to a treasure to the extraterritorial demon in the state of spirit and soul. If the extraterritorial demon wants to get into his mind and take over his body, his spirit and soul will probably be knocked unconscious!
In fact, "Gathering Yuanying" has many wonderful uses. Now he doesn't even need to use the Soul-Devouring Hand to pinch the soul of the extraterritorial demon with just a raise of his hand. With one punch, even the soul of the extraterritorial demon at the ancestor level will be beaten to such an extent that it is in excruciating pain that it may even pass out on the spot.
Moreover, he could use his condensed Nascent Soul to rush into the soul fog of the extraterritorial demon and beat him up. Anyway, his Nascent Soul was as condensed as a treasure, and unless the other party's soul was as condensed as his Nascent Soul, they could not hurt him at all.
He could even use his Nascent Soul to control the physical body of the Extraterritorial Demon Ancestor, which was over a hundred thousand feet tall, and unleash terrifying combat power.
He was silently comprehending the wonderful use of the Nascent Soul when Yangmei Tianzun suddenly sent a telepathic message: "Master Jiu, the Heaven-stealing Ancestor is here."
Has nearly ten days passed without me noticing?
Chen Jiu expanded his spiritual sense and swept around, and in a flash he appeared in front of the Stealing Ancestor.
Why does it feel like a terrifying meteorite is hitting me?
The Thief of Heaven only felt his soul tremble.
This guy practiced "Gathering Yuanying", and his Yuanying had already solidified to a terrifying degree!
Could it be that this guy has cultivated "Gathering Yuanying" to the ninth level or even the peak?
It’s only been a few days!
He was secretly surprised in his heart, but smiled slightly on the surface and said, "Master Jiu, the Ju Yuan Ying technique is pretty good, isn't it?"
This technique is indeed good, and the books sold in Haotian Market are actually quite good, but these guys are too evil and the price they ask is too high.
Chen Jiu said expressionlessly: "Let's trade first."
After saying that, he raised his hand and waved it, and two hundred and fifteen boxes of divine blood crystals, four hundred pieces of junk soul blood stone inner armors, fifty pieces of inner armors that amplified the divine soul by more than twice, two hundred bottles of regeneration pills, and one hundred bottles of resurrection pills were neatly suspended in the air behind him.
This guy is so heartless.
The ancestor of stealing the sky had no choice but to summon two of his subordinates, and took out a large box of divine pills that strengthened the soul, and said seriously: "There are still 200 million mortals, are you still sending people to the kingdom of God to collect them?"
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, and then his spiritual sense moved, and Sun Wukong and the Yunxia Beast flashed up.
He still said expressionlessly: "Let's settle the accounts."
The ancestor of stealing the sky could only calculate carefully: “I still have 10,000 bottles of divine pills that enhance the soul, which are worth 50,000 bottles of ordinary divine pills, and 200 million mortals are worth 2 million bottles of immortal pills.
You have one million boxes of True God-level Divine Blood Crystals, one million boxes of True Lord-level Divine Blood Crystals, one hundred thousand boxes of Heavenly Venerable-level Divine Blood Crystals, and fifty thousand boxes of Ancestor-level Divine Blood Crystals. The total is five hundred and fifty thousand bottles of divine pills. One hundred bottles of Resurrection Pills and two hundred bottles of Regeneration Pills add up to forty thousand bottles of divine pills. Your total is worth five hundred and ninety thousand bottles of divine pills.
There are also 400 pieces of precious armor that can more than double the amplification of the soul, which is worth 40 million bottles of immortal pills, and 50 pieces of precious armor that can more than double the amplification of the soul, which is worth 1,500 bottles of immortal pills. The total value of yours is 55 million bottles of immortal pills.
I still need to replenish you with 540,000 bottles of divine pills and 53 million bottles of immortal pills."
After saying that, he took out all the replenishing elixirs and magic pills.
Chen Jiu collected the immortal pills and divine pills from him, and then asked, "You don't want me to lose to the bloodthirsty demon clan, right?"
Of course, you are our cash cow. The value of the bloodthirsty demon clan is far less than yours.
The thief took all the goods and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, after all, we cooperate more, and I naturally don't want you to lose to the bloodthirsty demon clan."
Chen Jiu immediately said: "Then tell me the approximate time and strength of their next invasion, so that I can prepare in advance."
Uh, this.
Are you pretending not to know the rules, or have you forgotten them?
There is no free lunch here. You earn so much, so you should give me some of it.
The thief reminded him, "We have to get paid for selling information. I can't break this rule."
You are a profit-seeking villain.
Chen Jiu simply took out a box of True God-level Blood Crystals and said coldly: "Is this enough?"
What you gave me last time was a Heavenly Master-level Divine Blood Crystal!
The Heaven-stealing Ancestor rubbed his hands and said, "This is related to the outcome of the war between the two of you. I'm afraid this amount of divine blood crystal is not enough."
You are so greedy that you will definitely be reborn as a ghost after you die!
Chen Jiu took out another box of True Lord-level God Blood Crystals and said coldly, "Is this enough?"
Oh, why have you become so stingy?
Okay, okay, I really don’t want your cash tree to be cut down.
The old ancestor of stealing the sky said helplessly: "I still need to ask for the exact news. I will tell you next time I come over. How about that?"
Damn it, don’t you know you are still so greedy?
Chen Jiu said solemnly: "More than fifty days have passed, almost two months, haven't you received any news?"
Patriarch Tou Tian said calmly, "Don't worry. They can't rush over here right away even if they rush back. After all, most of their ancestors are fighting outside, and it takes time to recruit them back. It's impossible for them to come here in two months."
Okay.
Chen Jiu reminded: "Try to find out as much as possible for me. If we can't hold on, you know the consequences."
Of course I know the consequences.
The old ancestor of stealing the sky said calmly: "Don't worry about this. Even if you can't hold on, I can help you find someone to help you."
You still want to make this money?
I'm sorry, but there is a high probability that we will be able to withstand the next wave of invasion from the extraterritorial demons.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's talk about this next time."
Upon hearing this, the Thief of Heaven waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'll go back and get some information for you."
After saying that, he quickly flashed towards the huge chaos cave.
This guy really wants to make money from everything.
If you use us to make money, then you have to try your best to help us win. It's not certain who is using whom.
Chen Jiu narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at his back, then took Sun Wukong and Yunxia Beast to the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion, and summoned all his confidants who were participating in the battle from the Demon-Controlling City.
He glanced around slowly, then said solemnly, "It has been almost two months since the last invasion of the extraterritorial demons. We must hurry up and prepare. Master Yang, how is the practice of the demon god's "Gathering Yuanying" technique that set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation going?"
Yang Mei Tianzun said without hesitation: "Most of them have cultivated to the first level, but no one has cultivated to the second level. I estimate that in ten days or half a month, all demon gods should be able to cultivate to the first level, and those with good aptitude may be able to cultivate to the second or even the third level."
Fine, as long as they are not possessed by others, it will be fine. As for the soul attack, they are all equipped with immortal helmets and given ten bottles of Blood Soul Pills, so it should not be a big problem.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, and then asked: "Shui Ling, how is the cultivation of the True God who set up the Nine Bends Formation going?"
Shui Ling Tianzun said without hesitation: "They will be faster than the demon gods by then. Most of them should have cultivated to the first level by now. As for whether they can cultivate to the third level before the next invasion of the extraterritorial demons, it is hard to say."
That's about it.
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully, gave the magic pill to everyone, and then quickly rushed to the Divine Capital City.
At this moment, there are still a large number of demon gods and true gods equipped with immortal weapons. I don’t know how the trials of the weapon refiners in the Divine Capital City are going.
He flashed directly to the side of Prime Minister Chen Lang and said solemnly: "How is it, Lord Chen, what is the result of this trial?"
Prime Minister Chen Lang said without hesitation: "God, the result of the trial is not bad. This time, there are a total of 200,000 true gods who were replaced from the original divine army, true gods who came from the mortal world to comprehend the way of space, and true gods who have recently been promoted to participate in the trial, and about 50,000 have succeeded.
However, it is estimated that some of them succeeded by luck, and it is possible that they will fail next time."
About 50,000 is still too few. The Royal Guards are equipped with 1.08 million demon gods to participate in the battle, and they are all equipped with immortal weapons.
Chen Jiu pondered for a while, and then said decisively: "Next time, we will test the divine swords directly, and try to make up more than one million divine swords first."
Prime Minister Chen Lang nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, God, the success rate of the divine sword should be higher. After all, the divine armor is too difficult to refine."
That's good.
Chen Jiu thought for a moment, then asked, "What about the true gods of the water and fire systems? How many have gathered in the God Capital now?"
Prime Minister Chen Lang estimated: "The second Nine-bend Array in the Demon-controlling City was just completed not long ago. The newly promoted water and fire true gods, plus those who have comprehended the way of space in the mortal world, only have about 50,000 now."
This number is still a bit far from enough, but we can start practicing now.
Chen Jiu said decisively: "Order them to gather at the Temple Square. I will take them to the Demon-Suppressing City to practice the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. From now on, all the water and fire gods will be deployed to the Demon-Suppressing City first. Jingrou Zhenjun must have at least thirty-six battalions of water and fire gods under his command."
Prime Minister Chen Lang nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, God."
What's next?
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully again, then expanded his spiritual sense to send the magic pills of Tianzun, Yuyi Tianzun and Tianjue Zhenjun, and gave all the ordinary Five Elements Magic Pills he earned this time to Prime Minister Chen Lang, and then he gave detailed instructions: "You order those young and strong men at the peak of the king level and the monsters at the peak of the monster king level to line up at the Jiuling Mountain Fire Prime Minister's Office. After I enlighten them, I will still follow the old rules. All earth immortals will be given a bottle of magic pill and a set of books on the understanding of the Heavenly Dao, and then arrange for them to go to the Heavenly Dao Hall to listen to lectures."
Prime Minister Chen Lang nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, God."
This time he practiced in seclusion for nearly ten days, and he didn't know how many young and strong men at the peak of the king level and the peak of the demon king level he had accumulated. He also didn't know when he would be able to finish the enlightenment. Before he started, he specifically told Luo Li and the others to remind him to go to the Demon City after nine days.
The information from the Thief of Heaven is extremely important. He doesn't know when the demons from outside the domain will come and how many of them will come.
