Chapter 40: Strange Space

  The black relic bones emitted a faint glow, their bodies becoming increasingly rounded, losing some of the bony protrusions, gaining a warm and gentle aura. A vital energy permeated them. The fluctuations in power also intensified, as if there was an air machine accompanying the contraction of the bones.

  This is the breath of relics, it swallows and spits out energy, replenishing its own consumption.

  Ji Tian swallowed a part of the residual consciousness of the nine-headed lion monster, which surprised him, and those residual consciousness were actually independent of each other.

  Each one is a light spot drifting in its own sea. At the moment of touching that light spot, a wisp of smoke suddenly bursts out from it and transforms into an illusory creature with two horns on its head in mid-air. The creature gazes fearfully at the silent sky, and the silent sky stirs up the seawater in the sea of consciousness to pounce on the illusory creature. The creature wants to escape but its body doesn't obey, like the seawater rushing forward, unwillingly being dissolved into the seawater. The silent sky feels its struggle, helplessness, and unwillingness.

  A defective soul, no, this is the remnant of a mixed consciousness body, besides the dominant consciousness of the nine-headed lion, there is also the consciousness of the living being before its death, and its own pre-mortem consciousness has almost dissipated, only to appear when it was about to be swallowed.

  Ji Tian's body moved, and he rushed towards the light spot. Countless of those smoke-like creatures emerged from all around, transforming into shape. They struggled desperately, but like moths to a flame, they were involuntarily swallowed by the sea water. In the end, each and every one of them was absorbed by Ji Tian's soul. His spiritual ocean grew stronger and stronger.

  My understanding of my own cultivation methods and magical powers has also deepened.

  "This is a soul-refining technique, condensing the scattered remnants of strong souls between heaven and earth, and can also seize the complete soul of living spirits, refining them to become part of oneself, a method that strengthens one's own soul."

  "The origin of this nine-headed lion must not be simple. According to Pangu's incomplete memory, Yang Mei is definitely a strong player in the chaos, and this nine-headed lion is almost at the same level as him. Its cultivation method is so eagerly anticipated."

  "Death Spirit Technique, a unique divine ability that refines the death energy between heaven and earth, with the attribute of yin. It utilizes the refined death energy and a strand of one's own spiritual consciousness to condense into a death spirit, transforming it into a stream of death energy that enters the opponent's body, causing their spiritual energy to separate out a thread of cold yin energy, which then merges to attack the opponent's soul and primordial spirit."

  Jing Tian opened his eyes, stretched out a finger and tapped it once. In an instant, a strange ripple appeared in front of him, and at the tip of his finger, a void suddenly spread out.

  A wisp of divine consciousness flew out from the sea of his own consciousness, wrapped in a dead energy, and a soul that looked like a puff of smoke appeared in the void.

  His eyes flashed with a strange, eerie light. His body didn't move, and he said faintly: "Death". The dead spirit dissipated and shattered in the empty air, turning into ripples.

  However, at the same time, the entire void shattered open, causing Ji Tian's sea of consciousness to tremble violently, with a hint of being counter-attacked. A thread of death energy circulated within his body, how did he end up cursing himself?

  He was absorbing the demonic energy to temper his primordial spirit, while comprehending the divine abilities and spells. At this moment, he was fully displaying the techniques he had grasped, and his cultivation speed was indeed a hundred times faster than before. Now, everything was being refined, although only a small part of it was transformed into the condensed spiritual energy of his primordial spirit. The rest were all tightly attached to his primordial spirit, forming a protective layer around it, emitting different glows. His black primordial spirit was wrapped in it, as if filled with mystery.

  The black bones began to spew out large amounts of smoke, gradually condensing into the shape of Ji Tian. This was Ji Tian's primordial spirit body, and at the same time, the bones transformed into bone armor, wrapping around Ji Tian's arms.

  "Escaped into the underground, you can't escape, I hope you can bring me some surprises."

  Ji Tian carefully searched every inch of the grand hall, but surprisingly didn't find any entrance leading underground. He clearly felt that most of the nine-headed lion's soul had seeped into the ground, which was eerie.

  There's only one possibility - this place has an array formation.

  If it can't be found, then I'll destroy it.

  "Seal of Heaven"

  A gigantic hand appeared in the air, its palm rapidly shrinking. On the palm, extremely clear palm lines emerged. This was a divine ability after Ji Tian's enlightenment, which was different from before. He carved his understanding of the Heavenly Patterns into his divine ability, and with the addition of these Heavenly Patterns, it looked like a real hand!

  What's even more bizarre is the palm with the heavenly pattern, which after appearing will absorb the power of heaven and earth, causing the energy contained within to constantly increase. Although in this sealed land, the effect is much worse, but its power cannot be underestimated.

  As the palm continued to absorb the power of heaven and earth, it slowly shrank back to its normal size and crashed onto the ground of the grand hall. During its descent, an overwhelming pressure descended from the sky, striking the ground with a loud crash, causing the earth to shake violently. A massive shockwave rippled out in all directions, enveloping the entire grand hall in a thick mist.

  The great hall was suddenly pierced, forming a deep pit, and a burst of light flashed inside, swallowing up this force.

  A breath of air different from this world is coming straight at me. As if it has traversed countless starry skies, and the breath of countless spaces.

  Everyone fears the unknown, and this space in front of us has too many unknowns. However, the process of cultivating the Tao is about having a deep understanding of the universe. Once you have reached a certain level, as long as you have enough spiritual energy, you can achieve a certain level of cultivation. But how much you can understand depends on your heart. Cultivating the Tao is actually about cultivating the heart, making it perfect step by step. Cultivating the Tao doesn't necessarily mean constantly challenging the unknown, but rather letting your heart gradually overcome its fear of the unknown, and making your state of mind more complete.

  Ji Tian was shocked by this scene, and he wondered if he had pierced through the sky and earth, only to find himself in another space.

  Suddenly, a row of dense black stripes appeared in front, and the gravel was constantly swallowed by the black stripes. This is a space crack.

  When this spatial crack just appeared, some of the fine lines were slowly expanding, forming a very dark fissure. Some even got bigger and bigger, eventually thoroughly forming a huge black hole belt that swallowed everything.

  What is this space, on the ground there is a layer of white substance, fine and clean.

  "The ground was covered with a thick layer of white bone powder, emitting a strange energy fluctuation. The energy within had not dissipated, and it didn't seem like an ordinary object. Ji Tian wondered if he could re-condense it."

  Ji Tian sat on the ground, spitting out the primordial fire of his yuan god. The black flames enveloped a pile of bone powder on the ground, and the bone powder sparkled crystal clear in the flames, but there was no possibility of it melting. He sighed, wondering when he could use that omnipotent purple fire.

  At this time, Ji Tian's heart moved slightly, and he took out the black stone block wrapped in his primordial spirit from the water pool. Although the stone block had been refined by the purple fire, its power was too unorthodox, and the black stone block remained indestructible, rendering him powerless against it now.

  It contains a bit of bone marrow inside, I don't know if it can absorb this bone powder.

  Disappointed, I was still being overly optimistic.

  Ji Tian listened to the suggestion of Pangu's residual soul from the black bones, and kept the black stone warm in his own yuan Shen. Probably because he was of the same clan and origin as it, now he can even control its movement, and when he has the ability, he will refine it into a weapon.

  Ji Tian walked a few steps and found that the space ahead was filled with even more spatial cracks. The bone powder on the ground suddenly disappeared, as if swallowed by the spatial cracks. But that's impossible, he had only taken a few steps after all.

  Jì Tiān carefully measured this space, the entire space was empty and desolate, as if there were only these large and small spatial cracks in front of him.

  Carefully shuttling between the spatial fissures, the entire space changed again, and the spatial fissures around me suddenly disappeared, only to appear in a few distant places.

  Ji Tian took a few more steps back, and the space scene was different from before.

  Is it overlapping space, already mixed up space, and even constantly changing.

  How is this possible unless this space is a formation, a seal.

  Ji Tian raised the arm wrapped in black skeletal remains, stretched out a black bony finger, and pointed forward slightly.

  A surge of dead energy burst forth from within, gradually coalescing into a finger that shot forward.

  "Ah" Ji Tian let out a loud roar, a strong pain surged forth, knowing that the divine consciousness in the dead energy had dissipated, being strangled by many spatial fissures.

  "Since you can't get out, then I'll destroy you." Ji Tian clenched his fist and struck forward into the space in front of him.

  The space in front of me shattered instantly, and a dark surge came rushing over, not fog, but darkness.

  His heart was greatly shocked, and he hastily moved to one side. That was a space crack, that darkness was a black hole. If he were sucked into the black hole, even if he didn't die, he would be lost in it forever.

  Jì Tiān is now speechless, this strange and eerie space, he is absolutely helpless, his divine sense will be swallowed, attacks will also be swallowed, and it will lead to even more terrifying consequences.

  Let's move on a bit, can only dodge the spatial fissure a little bit.

  He walked aimlessly for a long time, he was about to collapse, this was an eternal space that would never repeat itself, but the monotonous walking was also torturing him to death.

  Loneliness, just like the loneliness of ten thousand years ago. But at that time there was no consciousness, it was all vague and obscure, now I can only hear the sound of my own footsteps.

  Jing Tian now wants to calm his mind and cultivate, but he can't, his heart is in turmoil.

  Shrouded in monotony, loneliness, and a faint sense of fear.

  Cultivation, cultivation, is about cultivating the mind and forming a Daoist heart. Having the power of faith is one step to elevate the Daoist heart. It is only when there is a kind of faith that the heart will not be lonely, the heart will not weaken, and it will not grow old bit by bit. A disordered heart can only walk towards death step by step.

  Without a virtuous heart, even if one obtains great spiritual achievements, they will only be a powerful beast that can become the target of others' hunting.
