Him and their stars

The fifth link of "Balance" is the "Soul Burial Messenger". At this stage, the direction of growth is mainly focused on mental strength and perception. Yu Lian could clearly feel that his mental defense had been qualitatively strengthened, and he didn't know if it had something to do with getting to know himself again.

As a result, whether it was psychic techniques, combination arrays, or spiritual offense and defense, he was no longer the same person he once was. Of course, the spiritual realm and psychic techniques, because he had mastered "Silver Dragon Breath" and "Spirit Storm" because of the transmission method across time and space by a certain enlightened mysterious lady, were nothing to begin with. Ordinary "balance". Now, when he passes the fifth ring, his understanding of these two magical skills has reached a new level.

He now has confidence that even if he fights fireballs against those professional masters, he will not necessarily lose.

In addition, I don’t know if it is because of the integration of Ether Qiu’s pineal gland that the unlocked star positions have additional abilities such as “Ether Body” and “Ether Breathing”.

The former can be regarded as an advanced version of "Elemental Body". At this point, my body can switch directly between matter and energy more freely.

When he was in the stage of "Elemental Body", whether he wanted to transfer fire or turn into water, he had to bear the pain of every cell in his body being torn apart. In addition to his natural shaking, he would definitely change after a few more attempts. Neurotic.

Therefore, even though someone has had the experience of being directly hit by a Titan ship's main gun in his previous life, he would still be extremely cautious about this kind of skill. Yu Lian would rather put on a few more layers of body armor and shields, as well as some defensive treasures, rather than being like some pirates who can't swim and transforming his body into elements to resist bullets so as to show off.

But now, after reaching the "etheric body" stage, he feels much better, at least there is no pain like tearing cells apart. If you can practice more, switching between entity and energy may become as easy as breathing.

More importantly, they are switching elements in the natural world, and there is still a problem of mutual reinforcement and mutual restraint, while what they are switching is "ether", which is actually something that should not exist in the material world.

In other words, he did not become a disembodied wind, fire, thunder and lightning, but a quantum ghost!

As long as you control it well, isn't it invincible?

...Well, well, of course it is impossible to be invincible. After all, even the genuine Void Ghost will be killed by cannons, but at least the passive avoidance rate has been greatly enhanced.

If it were really put into a game, it would definitely be a magical skill.

Then, there is the so-called "etheric breathing". This is an internal circulation ability that cannot be explained by science. Once you enter this state, theoretically there is no need to use external breathing to maintain the operation of physical skills. In this way, one can make one's own existence completely disappear in the sense of the laws of nature.

If combined with the etheric body, one can even move with the physical body for a long time in a cosmic space that has no air and water but is densely covered with unknown radiation.

If you can still fly, then you are walking in the void with your feet on the stars, right?

The higher a psyker reaches the higher level, the less he looks like a serious person, and this is shown through these aspects.

I see. Is this the reason for the "fusion" that Master mentioned?

...Does this really mean that the stealth game will be played to the end? But hasn’t it been said before? No matter what, I am still a leader, and I founded a serious revolutionary organization instead of a strange hooded society. My style of work should be upright!

Regarding Yu Lian's doubts, the master said: "If you understand it this way, it is superficial. If you just hide in the water with your head and tail exposed, you will never reach the state of being as good as water."

"It's going to turn into water, right?" Yu Lian couldn't help but ask.

"It means turning into water. But what does turning into water mean?"

Yu Lian was suddenly speechless.

It's not that he has nothing to say, but he really doesn't dare to speak nonsense. Since the growth of one's own strength has been involved, one can't be too clever. Has your strength improved? If you can fool others, how can you fool yourself?

From this perspective, occultism only has a very metaphysical effect, but in theory, it is quite similar to science!

Who dares to say that I am not materialistic! Yu Lian thought, and then bowed to Lan Jiufeng.

"Master, please give me some advice."

Lan Jiufeng nodded like a child, smoothed his immortal beard, looked up at the sky proudly and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what I am!"

"..." Yu Lian thought to himself that only this natural-faced person could be worthy of being a real grandmaster!

"When I truly understand this realm, it will be time for me to reach my true peak." Lan Jiufeng laughed and said, "Of course, with the intelligence you have shown so far, you might be better than Master." I realized this path earlier. When the time comes, it will be me who needs guidance."

Lan Jiufeng, a great master of the first generation, should not be so evil, so Yu Lian could only think that the other party was joking, so he laughed dryly.

"In addition, don't think that just because you can blend into nature, you really have an immortal body." Lan Jiufeng added: "You are now the Soul Burial Messenger, so you should understand the true meaning of this, right? "

"Disciple understands." Yu Lian nodded.

This is the last star position that Yu Lian awakened after reaching this level. In the expanded soul universe, this illuminated star is called the 'Soul Burial'. This may be the reason why the fifth ring is called the 'Soul Burying Messenger'.

This unlocked new combat skill does not have any powerful bonus effects. It cannot make you faster or stronger. It does not have any super perception and prediction effects, nor can it produce an overwhelming spiritual barrage or mystery. Gorgeous and extraordinary techniques.

The only thing is that one's own attacks can directly act on unnatural energy bodies that exist without (known) material support. To put it more directly, extraordinary beings with the ability to "bury souls" can attack elements, psychic energy, and ether directly.

Yu Liandao: "Although the name sounds like a villain, to put it bluntly, isn't this a special attack on various monsters in the virtual realm?"

Of course, if a foreign object in the virtual realm reaches the material realm, it is probably like a germ entering the human body. There is always a way to deal with it. But wouldn't it be better if there was a more efficient spy method?

It turns out that I am an antibiotic! Yu Lian suddenly realized.

"However, for a practitioner like you who can switch between physical and spiritual bodies freely, isn't it also a special attack?" Lan Jiufeng said.

It turns out that I am not even an antibiotic, but a vaccine! Sure enough, a person’s biggest enemy is always himself! Yu Lian suddenly became more enlightened and felt that he was one step closer to the great road.

But at this time, I heard the old man change his subject: "But how can a special attack against monsters in the virtual realm and elemental bodies be ineffective for all practitioners? The unique skill of Zhengyang Juegen created by my teacher, this is It was simulated from the 'Burial' mastered by your senior brother."

Yu Lian said this was the first time he heard of it. However, he carefully recalled the movement method of "Intercepting Hands", and surprisingly found that it had some similarities with "Burial of Souls", and he couldn't help but be shocked.

In this universe, the history of extraordinary beings is the history of civilization in the universe. If you include the eras of the home stars of the major civilizations, it can be calculated in six figures. In such a vast river of time, there has never been a shortage of nine-ring "gods" who stepped through the void and fell into the stars with one finger. But why is it that only Lan Jiufeng, the Eighth Ring who has never reached the side of truth in his life, can leave behind an orthodoxy like the Spiritual Research Society whose development potential is definitely lower than that of the Knights and the Association?

"I don't know how those innate abilities were generated when Star Ring awakened, so I can only temporarily regard them as a gift from God. However, innate abilities belong to the way of heaven, but if we can change them to Everyone can learn and practice martial arts and techniques, but they are still the way of us mortals! The way of heaven is ethereal, but the way of heaven and the way of humanity are ultimately balanced."

Yu Lian felt that the last sentence sounded familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he heard it.

Lan Jiufeng glanced at Yu Lian and said earnestly: "Everyone in the world thinks that you, 'Balance', are walking the path of righteousness and peace. But my teacher thinks that you, 'Balance', are the ones most likely to achieve the great path."

The term for low emotional intelligence is "everything is a sparse bucket number", but the master prefers to use "neutral and peaceful". Who said that a generation of great masters have no emotional intelligence?

This was the first time that Yu Lian knew that such a sparse bucket number actually shouldered such a heavy responsibility. Although he didn't understand it, he was still shocked.

But no matter what, after today's growth, my soul strength, mental power and perception have indeed been qualitatively improved, and the intensity of strengthening is by no means inferior to the magic masters of "supporting the spirit" and "controlling".

In this way, it will indeed be helpful for my subsequent actions.

More importantly, no one will say that he is a loose bucket number anymore, right?

"Your senior brother thought so too at first. However, at the sixth level, the soul singer's realm is strengthened by the first mate, but it is strength and physique!" Although Lan Jiufeng's tone was calm, it seemed as if he was just stating. A very small thing.

"...Since they are all called soul singers, shouldn't we further strengthen our spirituality and spiritual power? The senior brother himself said so. According to him, in the operation of psychic techniques, it can even be compared with gold. Senior brother has passed a hundred and ten moves."

"That's because he completed the ritual in the virtual realm and fused the spines of the three strange dogs. Besides, now that his physical fitness has improved, what can't he do? This is why our ancestors said that practicing martial arts requires practicing martial arts. La." Lan Jiufeng said: "As for the soul singer, well, singing actually consumes a lot of physical energy. Right?"

"Also, can you still explain it this way?"

"Of course that's the truth. One Dharma Spirit can master all Dharmas!"

The old man still seemed to take it for granted, but Yu Lian always felt that he was deceiving him again, but unfortunately he really had no evidence.

Considering that it would be a bit embarrassing to continue to entangle with him, Yu Lian had no choice but to change the subject and said, "By the way, you haven't told me yet how you came to fish for...the Ethereal Flying Star Shark you just caught."

"My teacher has already said that it is natural to raise him."

Then he further explained that the old man has been wandering around the universe recently, and he is not really planning to retire and play in a girl group, but is indeed thinking about the next development strategy of the spiritual seminar. Now, the problem with the Spiritual Research Association is not that there are not enough masters under it, but actually that it does not have its own unique cultivation resources.

"Is it a lack of money?" Yu Lian thought to himself, isn't this the best solution to the problem?

"Everyone's normal expenses can still be maintained. Your other senior brothers and sisters are not very good at this aspect, but your senior brother is the only one who is really good at career economy. What kind of dojo alliance is this? The military training camp, as well as action director training classes, etc., are doing very well. At least the subsidies for the core disciples in the sect are good."

Yu Lian thought that was strange. Although the senior brother has a flexible moral bottom line, he is really too much of a gentleman when it comes to business operations, so he can only maintain a balance of income and expenditure after working so hard. But it doesn’t matter, the spiritual seminar is still in the accumulation stage, and it is the stage where reputation is needed.

If we want to expand on a large scale, we can wait until the third generation has grown up.

"My teacher is talking about cultivation resources. Although the mineral veins of zero elements are all in the hands of the state, all the cultivation groups with a long history also have their own special channels." The old man smiled and said: "The Star Realm Knights Not to mention the regiment and the Guerrilla Association, their home country has had spiritual worship for thousands of years in the distant home star era. It was also the first to explore the universe, and the first to be passed down by the enlightened ones. We Our background is indeed not as good as theirs, but as long as we continue to operate in a down-to-earth manner, it is not impossible to catch up.”

"What about the Void Spirit Temple?" Yu Lian asked: "Are they the first to receive the mystical practice organization inherited by the Enlightened One?"

The old man glanced at Yu Lian and said with a hint of joking, "That's what they are."

Lan Jiufeng's words can actually be understood in two directions, but if it is the level of his imagination, it may subvert many historical truths recognized by the public.

"them……"

"A spiritual organization that is not supported by any country is only a transnational charity organization and academic cooperation organization to the outside world, but it is the most authoritative cutting-edge organization in the universe that represents the occult. Won't these three flavors make people think a lot? "

It really makes people think about it, and it has been thought about for thousands of years, but there is no concrete evidence. However, Yu Lian had never heard of Mr. Lan’s interpretation before.

"However, they have not interfered in international disputes in the past three thousand years since the Age of Discovery. Unless there are major changes that have not happened in three thousand years, just treat them as a transnational academic organization." The old man stroked his beard: "Since you have already reached the fifth ring, you only need to go with the flow when you reach the sixth ring. When the day comes, my master will take you Hua Xu on a tour and visit the people in the temple. Those people are a bit more old-fashioned. But it’s still worth paying for.”

He looked at Feifei again: "Yes, this little girl should come too."

Feifei, who had been silent just now, as if she thought she only had ears, when she heard this, she just smiled politely and nodded to express some ceremonial gratitude, but she still looked like she was neither happy with things nor sad with herself. look.

Then, the master went on to explain that the spiritual research society needed its own unique extraordinary resources, so he set his mind to the breeding of virtual realm monsters.

Note that what is mentioned here is "breeding", which naturally means it needs to be systematic, large-scale and systematic, but it is two different things than masters catching one or two giant beasts to use as mounts and pets.

"So, the flying star shark just now was raised by us?"

Mr. Lan said: "The person in charge of this matter is your senior sister Han Dai. Her abilities are also suitable."

Han Dai is the only senior sister among the "Seven Lingyan Sons" who has not yet met Yu Lian. Yu Lian remembered that he was an optimistic and low-key person. He had a low presence in the spiritual seminar where there were many masters in the past generations, but he was the person with the longest lifespan among the "Seven Sons".

"Okay, the matter here is over, you can go back. This Qingfeng is my child, he will contact you if anything happens." Mr. Lan waved his hand, and the little Xuanwu ran away holding the blue card's false order. He came over and forced it into Yu Lian's hand.

Oh, this little Xuanwu is the breeze, and the silver-feathered crane over there must be the bright moon, right?

Although Yu Lian wanted to complain like this, Lan Jiufeng seemed to be no longer prepared to pay attention to them.

However, the old man took out a long fishing rod from nowhere, sat on a high rock, and with a slight flick, swung the long fishing line into the thick fog of the void.

But I could only see a faint glow flowing on the fishing line, but it was still extending continuously, and it seemed to penetrate into the heavy fog endlessly.

Yu Lian felt that he didn't know whether the flying star shark was raised or caught, but no matter how big the virtual beast breeding industry of the Lingyan Association could be, the old man must have caught the first one like this.
