Qin Shi furrowed his brows. Looking at the blue barrier around him, he widened his eyes. "What's going on?"
"What a strong isolation power …!"
While Qin Shi was still in shock, the Nefarious Demon was overjoyed. "Little fellow, this barrier should be an ancient one. It possesses an extremely frightening isolation ability. Looks like your dog shit luck hasn't run out yet. This time, you've profited from misfortune and picked up a treasure. Inside this barrier, even if I use my full strength, the outside world won't be able to sense anything!"
"Really?"
Qin Shi rubbed his eyes. His anger from losing five thousand contribution points to Dong Qing had vanished. He couldn't help but smile. "It seems God hasn't given up on me yet!"
"Yeah, with this barrier, I can do whatever I want even if I don't enter the stalactite cave!"
To be honest, the demon had been suffocating in the Chaotic Zones for the past few days. It didn't dare to use even a little bit of its murderous aura. It was afraid that the old guys in the Chaotic Zones would notice. Now that the ancient barrier was here, its murderous aura rose to the sky. It jumped out of the demon totem excitedly. "This feels different. Kid, don't worry. I promise you I'll give you the fiercest Murderous Demon Claws in the world!"
Qin Shi nodded in satisfaction. "That's all I need to hear."
Then, he threw the half-finished Murderous Demon Claws to the demon and waved at it. "I'll leave it to you. I'm going into the stalactite cave to study the fourth level of the Fallen Star Hegemon Body Body Technique."
"Go ahead." The demon nodded.
After bidding farewell to the demon, Qin Shi went into the stalactite cave alone.
The stalactite cave was full of hanging stalagmites. At first glance, it looked like a primitive forest. Each stalagmite was dozens of meters tall. They were crystal clear and shone with a dim light. It was a magical scene.
Qin Shi walked around the stalactite cave and found a quiet place to sit down. After he sat down, he took out the one-eyed illusory demon's demon eye with one hand and also the Fallen Star Hegemon Body Art that he had kept for a long time.
The Fallen Star Tyrant Body Art was a martial art that had followed him for more than four years. It was the first martial art that could grow after he had reconstructed his spiritual meridians. However, ever since he had completed the cultivation of the third layer, Bone Refining, he had never opened it again. This was because he knew nothing about the fourth layer, Spirit Refining.
He had studied it several times, but it had all ended in failure.
Even now, as he held the Demon Eye of the One-eyed Illusory Demon in his hand, he still did not know how to operate it. He could not help but feel depressed. "If only Sister Yu was here at this time. With her mastery of martial arts, she would definitely be able to help me complete the fourth level of cultivation."
Thinking of this, the beautiful figure that he hadn't seen for a long time appeared in his mind. Jade In The Book was wearing a white gauze dress, dancing in his ocean of consciousness.
"Sister Yu, do you know?
I've missed you! "
Qin Shi sighed sorrowfully, and his big hand involuntarily touched the burning book.
"Sister Yu, bless me!"
He tried his best to control his mind, not allowing himself to be distracted. He took a deep breath and moved his black eyes to the fourth layer of the Fallen Star Tyrant Body Art.
The fourth layer: Spirit Refining. Jade In The Book had said that Spirit Refining referred to the cultivation of spiritual power. For this reason, he was silent for a while, and then he spat out the impure air in his chest. He chose to use his spiritual power to gather in his palm, and slowly sense the fourth layer of the Fallen Star Tyrant Body Art.
His spiritual power wrapped around the Fallen Star Tyrant Body Art, and it began to emit faint starlight. These starlight shone on the hanging stalagmite, and for a moment, the huge stalactite cave was like a starry night. It was very beautiful.
Bang!
But after sensing for a moment, Qin Shi's power was suddenly repelled, causing him to focus. "Still not enough?"
He found that this kind of sensing was not right, as if there was some kind of opportunity missing.
After a long silence, he recalled the cultivation of the first three layers of the Fallen Star Tyrant Body Art, and a bold idea appeared in Qin Shi's mind.
"The first layer, Skin Refining, is to fuse the essence blood of a Desolate Beast into my body, transforming my body. The second layer, Tendon Refining, is to let me replace the tendons of a Desolate Beast. The third layer, Bones Refining, is the same. Does this mean that the fourth layer also needs to be replaced?"
But thinking of this, Qin Shi frowned again.
The first three layers of Skin Refining, Tendon Refining, and Bones Refining were easy to deal with, but the problem was the fourth layer, Spirit Refining. Did he have to replace his sea of consciousness?
This was not realistic. The sea of consciousness itself was an illusory thing.
But at this moment, Qin Shi's black eyes suddenly widened, and he patted his head. "No, I don't have to replace it. If I can plant the demon eye of the One-eyed Illusory Demon in my sea of consciousness, wouldn't it also work?"
After all, the first three layers did not completely replace his essence blood, tendons, and bones. They only transplanted a portion of the Desolate Beast's essence blood, tendons, and bones into his body.
"That's right. If that's the case, the Xuantian Sacred Scripture can enter my sea of consciousness. Why can't I plant the demon eye of the One-eyed Illusory Demon in my sea of consciousness?"
Indeed, there was a qualitative difference between zero and one. It was the difference from nothing to something. Previously, Qin Shi was completely clueless and felt that it was too late for him to react. However, now that he had some thoughts, his thoughts immediately flowed like a raging river, unable to be controlled.
All sorts of ideas appeared in his mind, and Qin Shi felt that it was feasible.
"Let's give it a try!"
He clenched his fists. In truth, this was his first time trying to plant a physical object into his sea of consciousness. Previously, he had entered the Xuantian Sacred Scripture on his own, and Qin Shi had only been the recipient. There had not been any difficulty, but this time was different. He had to do it himself. He could not help but feel nervous.
After pausing for a moment, he did not rush. Instead, he took out the General Handbook of Talismans and flipped through it page by page. He wanted to see if he could find any experiences left behind by his ancestors.
It had to be said that the General Handbook of Talismans was very powerful. Although there was no experience of planting a physical object into the sea of consciousness, there were a few records in this area.
The sea of consciousness was formed from a person's spiritual will. The stronger a person's spiritual will was, the stronger the sea of consciousness would be. It was a completely independent space, and there were no flaws in this space. If one wanted to plant a physical object into the sea of consciousness, the first thing to do was to purify the physical object, turning it from a physical object into nothingness.
Just from these few words, Qin Shi was enlightened.
"That's right. Why do I have to plant a physical object into the sea of consciousness, and not turn it into nothingness and fuse it with the sea of consciousness?"
Qin Shi was suddenly enlightened. He could not help but look forward to the origin of the General Handbook of Talismans. He was sure that the Talisman Master who wrote down the General Handbook of Talismans was definitely one of the few Talisman Masters in the world. The records on it were simply too profound. Even the current him could not understand many of them.
"I just don't know, what is the third profound meaning of the General Handbook of Talismans?"
Qin Shi shook his head. He did not think too much about it. Instead, he concentrated all of his attention on the demon eye of the one-eyed illusionary demon.
A light flashed past his black eyes. The mental energy in the sea of consciousness was like the roar of a tiger or dragon. It instantly filled every part of his body.
This was not the end. He formed a hand seal in front of his chest. "Divine Character Formula!"
With a 15% conversion, the mental energy in the sea of consciousness became more and more vigorous. For a moment, it seemed like it was going to break free from the second incantation.
The mental energy that was completely natural started to materialize. On Qin Shi's fingertip, a faint white halo that was visible to the naked eye was formed. The halo had just been released. There were some fluctuations. However, this fluctuation was immediately suppressed by Qin Shi. It reached a saturated stage.
"Now!"
Qin Shi's Divine Armament moved. His other hand grabbed onto the one-eyed Illusory Fiend's demonic eye. His left and right hands rotated in the air. The two of them intertwined and quickly fused together.
When the one-eyed illusionary demon's demonic eye and Realization's spiritual power came into contact, there was a strong resistance between the two. No matter how strong the one-eyed illusionary demon's spiritual power was, its demonic eye would definitely contain spiritual power.
Spiritual power and mental power mutually reinforced and restrained each other. They were the two most difficult powers to control in the world. Once they met, it immediately produced a monstrous fluctuation.
Boom!
The stalactite cave kept shaking under these fluctuations.
Cold sweat appeared on Qin Shi's forehead, but he didn't give up. He clenched his teeth and persevered for a long time. The one-eyed Illusory Demon's demon eye suddenly dimmed. It was originally flashing with a faint purple light, but there was actually a weak spiritual power coming out of it.
All the spiritual energy in the demonic eye was expelled by his mental power.
"Is it done?"
Qin Shi was slightly happy, but he didn't dare to be careless, because he knew that this was only the first step, and the next step was the most critical moment.
"Next, it's the process of turning the physical object into nothingness."
Qin Shi's expression was serious. To be honest, he didn't have any confidence at all. He even had some doubts in his heart. Could the physical object really turn into nothingness?
But he didn't hesitate. He knew that it was not the time to hesitate. He had to do it in one go, only then he could succeed.
Following the records on the Talisman Demon Encyclopedia, Qin Shi's hand quickly moved.
This was a long process. The spiritual power had to continuously extract the spiritual elements from the one-eyed illusionary demon's demonic eye, and then let these spiritual elements resonate with Qin Shi's consciousness. Only then could the two of them fuse together.
This process lasted for a total of twenty days and nights.
Qin Shi sat there for twenty days and nights. He didn't sleep for twenty days and nights. His handsome face looked a little pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping down from his forehead.
But it wasn't like he didn't gain anything in these twenty days. Most of the spiritual elements in the one-eyed demonic eye had been refined, and the rejection from before had gradually disappeared.
Buzz!
Finally, on the twenty-third day, the one-eyed illusionary demon's demonic eye ignited inexplicably in his mental power, and a purple flame formed above it. The moment this purple flame appeared, Qin Shi's mental power was instantly excited, as if it had encountered an excited prey, and it pounced forward.
Rumble!
The demonic eye was swallowed by Qin Shi's mental power in the blink of an eye.
"Done?"
Qin Shi's black eyes narrowed, and joy leaped out of his eyes. Then, without hesitation, he quickly withdrew his mental power back into his consciousness.
A ball of light flickered in his consciousness, and an illusory one-eyed illusionary demon's demonic eye floated above the Mysterious Heaven Ancient Formation, emitting a faint purple light.
Looking inside, Qin Shi's heart beat wildly. He knew that this was considered a success.
