Enlightenment begins with covering the sky

"Is this the realm of ghosts and immortals?" Zhou Tong's soul flew out of the cave and said softly.

This is an unprecedented feeling, feeling that one's soul and body are completely separated. Not only is the power of the soul skyrocketing, but more importantly, the soul is completely separated from the body, and even directly takes away other people's bodies.

"The cultivation method of the Zhetian World, even if the soul is separated from the body, there is no such feeling." Zhou Tong pondered for a while, thinking about the difference between the cultivation systems of the two worlds, which would lead to such a situation.

Zhou Tong himself had his soul leave the body more than once during his practice, but never once did he feel such a sense of separation between his soul and his physical body.

And the most important thing is that during the practice of the Heaven-Shading Method, even if the physical body is destroyed, as long as the soul is still there, the physical body can be re-created; on the contrary, the soul is extinct, but if the physical body is not damaged, this It is very likely that the physical body will be reborn as a new soul after countless years.

But the ghosts and immortals in this Yang Shen world are different. When the physical body dies, they change to another physical body. As long as it starts from the time of fetus, it will not be much different from the previous physical body. Once the soul is destroyed, the physical body cannot be reborn. A brand new soul was born.

In the way of cultivation in this world, the separation between the physical body and the soul is too serious.

"Perhaps this is the reason why the way of cultivation in this world must rely on the will of all living beings to reach the other side?" Zhou Tong had some speculation in his mind.

Without thinking about anything else, Zhou Tong's spirit returned to his body.

The soul returned to the physical body, and the physical body suddenly felt very weak, which was a symbol of depletion of energy and blood. After becoming a Ghost Immortal, the physical body will feel as if the yang energy has been drained away. If it is an ordinary person, if they do not deliberately supplement it with large tonics, the physical body will gradually weaken until death.

Even Zhou Tong's human-immortal body needs supplements. When he broke through the ghost immortal, he absorbed too much pure Yang blood energy from this body, making this body much weaker.

Although his physical body was much weaker, Zhou Tong also understood that after he became a ghost immortal, his soul was completely different from an ordinary soul, and could fully compete with the kind of ghost immortal who had survived several thunder tribulations.

"I don't want to think about this for now, let's go hunting first to replenish the energy and blood consumption!" Zhou Tong muttered for a while, and his soul came out of the shell again. After a few thoughts, a mighty warm wind blew violently throughout the whole body. Western Hills.

For a time, there was a hint of warmth in the already late autumn Xishan.

"This is the ability of the Ghost Immortal. With just one thought, he suddenly knew everything about the entire Xishan Mountain." Zhou Tong said silently in his heart. After cultivating the Ghost Immortal, he finally had some of the methods of a monk. He was no longer like before. That way, just rely on your eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

"Hunting is much more convenient." Zhou Tong quickly locked onto a strong black bear. With a thought in his mind, an invisible gust of wind suddenly formed and immediately swept the black bear into the air, letting the black bear roar wildly. , limbs flailing, but unable to break free.

"Boom!!"

Soon, the black bear fell heavily from the air and landed right in front of Zhou Tong. At the same time, Zhou Tong returned to his body and began to deal with the black bear.

"Crack!"

After disposing of the black bear corpse, Zhou Tong pointed his fingertips, and the air was distorted. Countless rays of light converged on his fingertips and turned into sparks. Then with a flick of his finger, a ball of sparks fell directly on the bear corpse.

In an instant, the heat around the bear carcass distorted the air. But there was not a single burnt spot on the entire bear corpse, and the flames penetrated into the flesh and blood of the bear corpse bit by bit.

This is the true sun fire condensed by Zhou Tongyi's huge thoughts, and he controls it extremely delicately. The flames penetrate into every corner of the bear's meat, roasting the entire black bear in an instant, and a smell of meat comes out.

Guixian is a qualitative change from before!

The use and power of various Taoist techniques are completely different from before.

"You can refine those sacred stone fragments into weapons when you go back!" Zhou Tong thought secretly while eating bear meat.

Within a moment, the bear was completely eaten by Zhou Tong, and his slightly weak body gradually recovered. But it's just a trace. Without any magic medicine or some special skills, it's difficult to restore yourself to the previous state.

"The sense of separation between the body and the soul of the ghost immortal may be caused by removing some things from the body, and the things taken away are definitely not just blood, but something deeper." Zhou Looking inside your body, you want to find some differences between the Yangshen system and the Heaven-shading method.

After personally cultivating to the realm of ghosts and immortals, and after a little understanding, Zhou Tong has roughly guessed something, that is, when becoming a ghosts and immortals, some unknown things from the physical body must be taken away and integrated into the soul. , so this sense of separation between the body and the soul is formed.

Even the monks in this world don't understand this kind of thing, because they don't have another cultivation system to refer to. In their view, it is natural for them to cultivate into ghosts and immortals, and then their physical bodies gradually weaken, just like mortals eat and drink water, so they do not study why this happens.

"I am afraid that only those who have cultivated to Yangshen are qualified to explore this answer. But if you want to truly understand it, I am afraid you need to return to me!" Zhou Tong said secretly in his heart.

Zhou Tong temporarily put aside his doubts, then got up and found a cow and a sheep in the mountains. After eating and drinking enough, his energy and blood temporarily recovered.

He then returned directly to Rivendell.

After saying hello to the group of foxes in the valley, Zhou Tong directly found his package, carried it on his back, and strode out.

"Are you leaving here?" The old fox was also surprised to see Zhou Tong carrying the package on his back this time.

"No, you haven't finished reading the books here yet!" Zhou Tong shook his head, "It's just that it's time to deal with these things. It's been more than a month, and you guys have been feeling very uncomfortable, right?"

Zhou Tong patted his package and smiled.

In the past month, with these fragments of sacred stones nearby, these foxes have completely neglected their Taoist practice. Because the yang energy contained in these sacred stones is too terrifying, and these little foxes are not very strong in Taoism, facing such stones, even at night, it feels like daytime.

The old fox was a little embarrassed and didn't say much.

Doesn't it know the huge impact these sacred stone fragments have on their practice? It's just that he was embarrassed to speak because of his face.

Zhou Tong smiled, this old fox had really learned a lot about human beings' habit of asking for face.

"I'll be right back!" Zhou Tong greeted and then strode away.
