Do not die

At the same time, the body of Jiedan, who was completely under Meng Zhou's control and was sitting cross-legged in the cave's quiet room, patted the beast bag on his waist, and a monster beast about the same size as a human was taken from the beast bag. come out.

This is a long-tailed monkey demon with dark brown hair all over its body. It has a ferocious face and its sharp fangs are particularly eye-catching.

After getting out of the beast bag, the eyes of the monkey demon, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, began to roll gently under his eyelids, showing signs of waking up.

Suddenly, a palm pressed down on the top of its head, and the monkey demon, who was about to wake up, fell into a deeper sleep.

Then, the palm that was pressing on the monkey demon's head moved and slapped the monkey demon's heart.

"puff!"

The sleeping monkey demon suddenly opened his mouth, and a large ball of blood from his heart flew out, like a blood arrow shooting out.

After spitting out this large mouthful of heart essence and blood, the monkey demon became sluggish at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And just as this blood arrow, which was transformed from the heart blood of the monkey demon, was sprayed out by it and shot into the void, it suddenly disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a slight ripple in the void.

…

Standing between the real world and the real world, Meng Zhou saw the right moment and took action decisively, holding a ball of heart essence and blood full of vitality and ferocity in the palm of his right hand.

Holding this ball of blood extracted from the heart of a monkey monster, Meng Zhou could truly feel the characteristics that were different from those of human monks, as if he were holding a ball of hot magma or a ball of burning flames.

At this moment, Meng Zhou's right hand held a large ball of the monkey demon's heart essence and blood. Under his deliberate action, this almost concentrated the essence of the demon beast.

Meng Zhou's left hand held an "original version" of Tai Sui's body that had just been taken out and had not yet been transformed.

After getting the heart essence and blood of the monkey demon, Meng Zhou raised his right hand and patted the center of Tai Sui's body between his eyebrows.

Soon, all the heart essence and blood were slapped on Tai Sui's forehead and eyebrows.

In an instant, the heart essence and blood from the monkey demon seemed to come alive, quickly seeping into the body of the ownerless Tai Sui.

Inside Tai Sui's body, blood as hot as magma spread rapidly.

And as the blood color spreads, the body tissues that were originally composed entirely of Tai Sui's body began to quietly transform.

Bones, flesh and blood, organs...

It is worth mentioning that Tai Sui's body, which originally had a human-shaped outline, has been transformed more and more thoroughly by the blood essence in the heart of the monkey demon, and its body proportions and shape are changing.

The farther away you are from people, the closer you are to monkeys.

Finally, when all the changes stopped, this body that had received the blood from the heart of the monkey demon still looked like a human being.

Sharp fangs, long dark brown hair, long tail, ferocious breath...

From the image to the aura it exudes, everything is exactly the same as the monkey demon in reality.

Then, Meng Zhou stretched out his right hand again and took it lightly.

In the real world, the languid and sleeping monkey demon suddenly disappeared and appeared in Meng Zhou's hands.

Meng Zhou placed his right hand on the monkey demon's head, took a deep breath, and started the most important operation of the entire plan.

Meng Zhou carefully thought over the plan that he had rehearsed countless times in his mind. Then, he exhaled a breath and slowly closed his eyes.

And in his hands, he was holding two monkey monsters, one on the left and the other on the right, that looked exactly the same no matter how you looked at them.

They all had their eyes closed tightly, as if they were sleeping.

The biggest difference between them is that one of them is weak and weak.

After closing his eyes, Meng Zhou poured all his energy into his palms.

Miraculous ripples emanated from Meng Zhou's palm and spread into the monkey demon's limbs and bones.

Immediately, the body of the monkey demon appeared in Meng Zhou's heart in a completely new form, like a splendid universe of stars.

Every twinkling starlight is a flash of spirituality, corresponding to a certain part of the monkey demon's life.

This was originally a medical examination technique used by pharmacists to explore the physical condition of patients.

When Meng Zhou upgraded to "Spirit Master" on the basis of "Spirit Controller", "Medicine Spirit Master", "Spirit Adjuster" and other professions, he easily integrated the related professional skills that he was already used to into "Spirit Master". Under the system of "spiritual master" profession.

This inspection technique that he adjusted allows the target he inspects to appear in his field of vision in a purely spiritual form.

This allows him to avoid all the minutiae, not to be confused by the complicated appearance, and allows him to deal with the problem in the most concise and pure manner.

For example, at this moment, Meng Zhou no longer had the monkey demon in his heart, only the brilliant starry sky where his spirituality was manifested.

Facing this "starry sky", Meng Zhou easily found the target he needed.

In a certain area of ​​this "starry sky", those twinkling stars show a special rhythm that is different from other places.

Meng Zhou had already completed his control over the master of the cave from the very beginning.

Therefore, Meng Zhou knew very well that the spiritual rhythm found in the "starry sky" that originally belonged to the monkey demon, and that was different from the spiritual characteristics of the monkey demon itself, had its source from this alchemy monk.

This is the manifestation of some kind of contract between him and this monkey demon in this "starry sky world".

Whether it is a spirit controller, a beast controller, or other monks who use other means, such as contract talismans, beast control rings, or special elixirs...

Regardless of the specific method used, in the end, such a special "starry sky" will be formed in the body of the controlled life.

This is the fundamental reason why a monk can control and command another life.

All the monk's authority comes from here.

After finding the final "source", Meng Zhou was determined.

He reached out to the "starry sky".

In this special "starry sky world", Meng Zhou has the confidence to control everything.

When he thought about it, a big hand seemed to grow out of nothingness, grabbing the "starry sky" area in his hand.

He only caught this one spot.

As for other than that, he really didn't even look at the even more vast "starry sky world" and abandoned it all.

This is the specific processing process from the perspective of Meng Zhou's "spiritual master".

All this manifested itself in the outside world. Just when Meng Zhou was sure of his thoughts and a big hand emerged from nowhere to grab the target, the monkey monster he was holding under his palm suddenly twisted like plasticine. Slow change.

First, it turned into a squirming ball of flesh.

Then, smoke continued to rise and dust drifted away.

This squirming meat ball also slowly became smaller in the process.

Finally, it turned into a red meatball that was only as big as an egg and was still slowly squirming.

Meng Zhou stared at the red meatball that was slowly squirming in his palm. He checked it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he flicked it and the red meatball moved to the other side that was transformed from Tai Sui's body. The monkey demon flew away.

Just when the red meatball was about to fly into the monkey demon's mouth, Meng Zhou's palm was already on the monkey demon's head.

The monkey demon with his eyes closed suddenly opened his mouth and swallowed the red meatball into his belly in one bite.

After the red meat ball entered the body, it melted directly in its mouth and scattered into the monkey demon's limbs and bones.

Under the technique of inspection, Meng Zhou saw the "starry sky" again.

This "starry sky" is more than 90% similar to the "starry sky" he saw not long ago and then was destroyed by his own hands.

Seeing this, Meng Zhou understood clearly.

Even if the flesh and blood body transformed from the body of Tai Sui is similar to the real body, it is only a similarity, not exactly the same.

And as long as there is a difference, even if the difference is so small that it is invisible or difficult to detect, it will be reflected in this "spiritual starry sky".

However, this is not the focus of Meng Zhou's attention at the moment.

Meng Zhou's "sight" moved across the entire "starry sky".

Finally, shortly after the red meatballs scattered into the limbs and bones of the monkey demon transformed from Tai Sui's body, Meng Zhou once again saw the familiar "star field" in this "spiritual starry sky" that belonged to it. .

This "star field" has a special and unique rhythm.

And as this "star field" was perfectly integrated into the "spiritual starry sky", a real contractual connection was established between the monkey demon transformed from Tai Sui's body and the owner of this cave.

"Done." Meng Zhou's mood suddenly became lighter.

However, Meng Zhou did not stop immediately.

Looking at this "spiritual starry sky", Meng Zhou recalled in his mind the other "starry sky" he had just seen, and used it as a reference to manually fine-tune the "spiritual starry sky" in front of him.

Well, to be precise, it's not manual, it should be "thought movement" - a matter of thought.

"It's a little worse here."

"It's a little lacking here."

"This 'star field' should be moved slightly, closer to here."

"..."

Soon, the two "spiritual starry skies" that were originally only about 90% similar were adjusted by Meng Zhou's "thinking" to reach a similarity of more than 99%.

After adjusting to this step, Meng Zhou found that the difficulty suddenly increased a lot.

First of all, finding the difference is not an easy task, and the mental effort is quickly increased.

Even with his fourth-level mid-level "spiritual master" attainment, he gradually started to feel dizzy.

Meng Zhou stopped decisively and did not continue.

Although, the work in hand has not reached a truly perfect state, there is still room for improvement.

But Meng Zhou believes that this is very, very enough for now.

"Unless there is a spiritual master in Xingxiu Palace, he is a spiritual master whose attainments exceed the fourth-level mid-level and reach the fourth-level high-level spiritual master!"

"Unless Xingxiu Palace will register all the monsters assigned to disciples in detail down to the hair!"

With this thought in his mind, Meng Zhou punched a group of divine soul clones prepared in advance into the monkey demon's eyebrows.

Then, Meng Zhou threw back the monkey demon that he had finished handling.

…

Quiet room.

A sleeping monkey demon appeared out of thin air.

The figure sitting cross-legged on the stone couch patted the beast bag on his waist, and the monkey demon that had just appeared in the void was sucked into the beast bag.

…

Meng Zhou also used the method of "time editing" to erase all traces of abnormalities.

In particular, all the traces such as the monk summoning the contracted monster and forcing the contracted monster to spout out its heart essence and blood were completely deleted and replaced with the appearance of "everything is business as usual, nothing happened".

After doing all this, Meng Zhou decisively revoked his control over the monks and allowed him to regain his freedom.

…

Quiet room, on the stone couch.

The monk who was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, meditating quietly, saw a pair of eyes turning slightly under his eyelids, showing signs of waking up.

After a while, the monk slowly opened his eyes and looked around, with a little doubt in his eyes.

Then, he carefully checked his condition.

After doing all this and not finding any problems, he first breathed a sigh of relief, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, with a rather self-deprecating look on his face.

"My efforts in cultivating my mind are still not good enough."

He attributed his lack of thoughts just now to his imminent return, and his mind left the cage to play before his body came out of the cage.

Regarding this, apart from secretly warning himself that he needed to work more on cultivating his mind in the future, he did not continue to dwell on the matter.

It can be said that it is very normal for monks to occasionally have irregular thoughts during their practice.

This is like lazy cancer in people. Everyone knows that this is not a good thing, and they all want to eradicate this disease, but how many of them can really do this?

Therefore, although he reflected on it, he actually did not take it to heart.

From the beginning to the end, he never realized that one of the monsters in his beast bag had been quietly dropped.

In his opinion, all the monsters in the beast bag are well-behaved and stable.

When they need peace and quiet, they never act up and always sleep obediently in their animal bags.

Being secretly dropped?

Not to mention the consistency in appearance, temperament, charm, and ability, and more importantly, the contracts he signed with them are all there without any problems.

Under such circumstances, what kind of extraordinary imagination is required to have such an idea.

…

Time flies and it is already half a month later.

At this moment, the monk had left the quiet room and came to stand in the hall in the center of the cave.

At a certain moment, the void not far in front of the monk suddenly rippled, and a middle-aged monk appeared there out of thin air.

Seeing this, the monk was surprised and said: "Brother Zhai, the palace actually arranged for you to take my place?"

The middle-aged monk did not give him a good look and hummed:

"Kou Chong, why don't you act for me? There are only so many people who are qualified to participate in the rotation. Do you dare to say that you really didn't expect it?

If you really care about me, don't apply to the palace!

Now give me the pretense and expect me to accept your favor, ha! "

The monk chuckled twice and defended himself:

"Brother, what can I do alone?

I don’t want to apply. With so many people in the Outer Realm, someone will always apply... Besides, my cultivation level will definitely come when the time comes, so I can’t delay. "

The middle-aged man known as "Senior Brother Zhai" first complained, probably feeling that he was now a firefighting captain. Wherever there was a hole, Xingxiu Palace would fill him in.

Finally, after listening to Kou Chong's reasons, his expression quietly changed.

"Can't delay? Hehe..."

"Can't delay? Haha..."

"Can't delay? Haha..."

"Senior Brother Zhai" repeated this sentence repeatedly, his expression and tone kept changing.

His behavior made Kou Chong next to him feel hairy in his heart, and he thought to himself, "Senior Brother Zhai" must be suffering from some kind of hysteria, right?

"Senior brother? Senior brother?...Senior brother?"

He shouted several times, "Senior Brother Zhai" before he woke up again.

"ah?"

"Senior brother, what happened to you just now? You look a little scary." Kou Chong asked worriedly.

"Senior Brother Zhai" was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It's nothing, I just remembered something."

"It's okay." Kou Chong nodded.

"Senior Brother Zhai" stared at him again and suddenly asked: "You are going back this time to plan a breakthrough to the late stage of pill formation, right?"

"Yes." Kou Chong nodded.

"Senior Brother Zhai" stared at him carefully and said slowly: "Let me give you a suggestion."

"Senior brother, please tell me," Kou Chong said.

"Don't be too busy breaking through. Although you have reached the peak of the sixth level now, you are still a little short of the water-filled state. You can spend more time and continue to polish it." "Senior Brother Zhai" said.

Kou Chong, who originally looked expectant, looked disappointed after hearing this suggestion. He nodded first, then shook his head and said:

"I know my level of heat is still a bit low. I really like the state of water overflowing, but if it's not achieved, I won't deliberately force it."

In the constellation palace where geniuses gather, it is easier for people to see themselves clearly.

Kou Chong was very clear about his position. Although he was a genius, there was still a gap between him and the top people in the palace.

He was already satisfied if he achieved 99 points on a 100-point test paper.

He will not force a perfect answer.

He knew very well that if he wanted to make up for the remaining one point, he might have to pay more than he had to pay to gain the ninety-nine points before!

This is not cost effective.

It's not necessary.

"Senior Brother Zhai" heard this, but he laughed twice with unknown meaning again, and said: "Are you trying to compete for time? Do you want to reach the ninth level of pill formation as soon as possible?"

Kou Chong nodded: "Yes."

As for what to do after reaching the ninth level of elixir formation, for practitioners, does this need to be said?

The ninth level of Danjie is the pinnacle of Danjie. After reaching this height, isn't it natural to consider climbing the higher mountain in front of you?

And a well-known truth is that when trying to hit the big realm, the younger you are, the greater the advantage.

"Senior Brother Zhai" laughed strangely again and asked, "Do you know why I suggested that?"

Kou Chong said: "You want me to accumulate more deeply?"

"Senior Brother Zhai" raised his finger and said:

"Wrong, wrong, wrong!... Is there any difference if the accumulation is deeper or shallower?"

"I just want you to live longer."

Kou Chong was really confused after hearing this.

How can there be no difference in the depth of accumulation?

If this is the case, why would someone choose to play it safe and continue to accumulate when they clearly can break through?

It’s not just about coveting the benefits of accumulating deeper!

As for "live longer", this is true, but when it comes from "Senior Brother Zhai", it seems strange. Is this the same "Senior Brother Zhai" who is willing to give up everything for the sake of the great road?

"Senior Brother Zhai" saw Kou Chong's confused look on his face and suddenly asked, "Are you the first group to come here?"

"Well, yes." Kou Chong nodded.

"Senior Brother Zhai" nodded, with a look of understanding on his face, and said, "No wonder."

Kou Chong had a bad feeling in his heart. Did I miss something?

"What happened?" Kou Chong asked.

"Senior Brother Zhai" asked: "Do you know the 'Xingxiu Tianchi'?"

"Ah? What is that?" Kou Chong looked confused.

"Senior Brother Zhai" stared at him for a while and then asked: "You broke through the pill formation only after the palace sealed the mountain, right?"

"Well, yes." Kou Chong nodded.

"Have you always been practicing?" "Senior Brother Zhai" asked again.

"Yes." Kou Chong nodded again.

"Aren't you paying attention to anything else?" "Senior Brother Zhai" asked again.

"No time." Kou Chong said.

"All right."

"Senior Brother Zhai" nodded, changed the topic directly, and said: "I almost forgot about the main business, please give me the formation flag and token quickly."

Kou Chong quickly took out the formation flag that controlled the formation on the top of the mountain and the token for communicating with the other three people on this spiritual vein and handed it to "Senior Brother Zhai".

After completing the handover, he did not forget to ask the doubt.

"So, what exactly is Xingxiu Tianchi?" Kou Chong asked.

"Senior Brother Zhai" waved his hand:

"Go back and find out for yourself... Don't worry, this is no longer a secret in the palace. You can easily find out if you want to."

He didn't want to face a junior brother Kou who felt like he was mourning, or even wanted to die.

It's not that I'm worried about Kou Chong, it's just that it's troublesome.

As a result, Kou Chong spent half a day in doubt and worrying about gains and losses.

This half day is also the time specially reserved by Xingxiu Palace for newcomers to communicate with those who have left.

Half a day later, Kou Chong, who was standing in the center of the cave hall, felt suddenly grabbed by a mysterious force and wrapped tightly.

In an instant, he lost all perception of the outside world.

The next moment, he felt his body suddenly become heavier first, and then suddenly lighter again.

Then, he realized that the power that tightly wrapped him had disappeared, and he regained his perception of the outside world.

Kou Chong discovered that the place where he stood was no longer in the cave hall, but in the center of an island that was not too large.

Kou Chong knew that he had returned to Xingxiu Sea.

Kou Chong had already experienced a similar experience once when he left the Xingxiu Sea and came to the "Juye Wilderness" (i.e. the Five Realms), so Kou Chong was not so surprised.

As soon as his vision returned, he looked around, seemingly looking for something.

There was no need for him to search deliberately, an old man with a white beard appeared beside him.

The old man waved to him and said, "Come on."

Kou Chong said hurriedly: "Don't be busy, I have a question."

Upon seeing this, the old man looked at Kou Chong and his eyes immediately became alert. He quietly took a step back and said, "Don't be busy. If you have any questions, please go through the heart-asking array first!"

Kou Chong said quickly: "It's very simple. I just want to know what the 'Xingxiu Tianchi' is?"

"Well……"

The alert look on the old man's face disappeared.

But his face darkened.

…

Meng Zhou stood in the mezzanine between the real world and the real world, never moving.

"Accompanying" Kou Chong completed his last half-month in the Five Realms.

Waiting until the day of handover, Meng Zhou was worried that with the arrival of the power that could easily send people in and out, if he got too close, something unexpected would happen.

Therefore, he deliberately distanced himself further.

But even so, he had complete control over everything that happened in the cave.

From the arrival of "Senior Brother Zhai" to the departure of Kou Chong, every word spoken by both parties and every change in expressions and demeanor were clearly seen by him from multiple angles, and were also recorded in the "Interpretation World". middle.

After Kou Chong left, Meng Zhou closed his eyes again.

He used Tai Sui's body to throw stones to ask for directions, in order to test the safety of such a "jailbreak".

The attainment of the fourth-level mid-level "Spiritual Master" is the fundamental guarantee for the success of substituting one thing for another.

But in the final analysis, the monkey demon was transformed from Tai Sui's body, and some of its flaws were inherent.

Whether it is the body of Linglian or the body of Tai Sui, one common shortcoming they all have is that his induction of them will be affected by distance.

The farther the distance, the weaker the induction.

Although the performance of Tai Sui's body is much better than that of Linglian, the Five Realms are still far away from the Sea of ​​Stars where Kou Chong returns.

For this reason, Meng Zhou still stuffed a ball of divine soul clone into it.

He won't use this soul clone for anything else. Its only function is to allow him to sense the monkey demon's state at any time.

When Kou Chong left the cave hall, Meng Zhou immediately discovered that his sense of the monkey demon in Kou Chong's beast bag was rapidly weakening.

This shows that the distance between the two sides is rapidly widening.

Finally, when it stabilized again, the induction directly through the monkey demon was already very weak.

He could only sense its existence and status through the soul clone hidden in the monkey demon's body.

However, the "clarity" of the induction has still declined, and is not as good as when it is induced within the five domains.

"It seems that there is still a distance limit for the soul clone, but this limit is a bit too exaggerated." Meng Zhou thought in his heart.

And through the information fed back by the soul clone, Meng Zhou knew that his plan had basically come true.

Several days had passed since Kou Chong left, but the information fed back by the soul clone told Meng Zhou that the monkey demon who had been secretly transferred by him had been sleeping comfortably and peacefully in the beast bag.

From beginning to end, there was no disturbance.

At first, Meng Zhou didn't believe it.

"No way? How can it be so safe?"

"Is it possible that my tricks have been exposed, and the other party is trying to trick me into taking advantage of me?"

This was the first thought that came to Meng Zhou's mind when he first discovered that the situation on the other side was too different from what he had expected.

After a long time, Meng Zhoucai gradually accepted the fact.

"I thought the difficulty was too high!"

"The problem isn't with the other side, it's with me!"

"I thought the difficulty of 'jailbreak' was too high!"

Meng Zhou reflected in his heart.

Put yourself in Xingxiu Palace’s shoes, what do you need to worry about? Who do you need to guard against?

Xingxiu Palace has never regarded the Five Realms themselves as a threat, not to mention that Xingxiu Palace’s measures against the Five Realms are already rigorous enough.

The only thing they didn't consider was that a monster like themselves was born in the Five Realms.

Coupled with the perennial advantageous position, facing the monks from the Five Realms, the mentality of the monks from the Xingxiu Palace is generally condescending and very superior.

This is reflected in behavior, which is collective laziness.

The regulations require them to be strict and conscientious, but when it comes to specific people and specific things, it means "following the process strictly."

This is a new insight that Meng Zhou gained after rethinking the exchange between "Senior Brother Zhai" and Kou Chong, as well as other exchanges that were also recorded by him in the "Interpretation World".

That's not a task handover, it's obviously nonsense!

So, the real situation is that this is obviously just a simple mode, but I treat it like a hell mode!

"Hey, my bad."
