#616 - What is the 'spirit'? ; Ways to cultivate the spirit

Judging from the extent to which those monsters controlled the laws of space, Zhang Zhi would have believed they were beings of Middle God power.

However, judging from their interactions with the dependents just now, the energy fluctuations on those monsters were indeed of Weak God power, and even on the weaker side.

So, are these monsters all very talented in the laws of space?

Are these monsters the 'gods' enshrined in the temples along this cultivation path?

But that's right, if those monsters were truly the gods enshrined in the temples, and they needed to patrol the entire world area, they would definitely prioritize selecting the souls of humans with spatial talent after their death for offering.

However, Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan have also seen the gods in the temples several times in the past few days, and the souls of those human ancestors enshrined were all in human form, weren't they?

Could it be because the gods enshrined this time have all activated the Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth?

Or is there something special about the Law Manifestation of Heaven and Earth of these enshrined gods?

However, after those monsters escaped, Zhang Zhi didn't have time to think too much, and instead descended towards the central plaza of the city that was attacked below.

That city suffered heavy casualties in this monster attack.

The city's plaza was where he initially saw a somewhat special formation formed by several thousand cultivators using the terrain within the plaza.

The plaza itself should also be a relatively special magical artifact, or rather, a sacrificial artifact.

It was precisely by relying on this special sacrificial artifact that these people were able to withstand the attacks of those Weak God power monsters.

After Zhang Zhi landed, he lowered his head to check the cultivators lying on the ground and found that they were all lifeless.

Not far away, several people saw Zhang Zhi landing and walked towards them with faces full of sorrow.

If Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan hadn't arrived in time, no one in this city would have been able to escape this calamity.

Zhang Zhi looked at the corpses of cultivators all over the plaza, and then looked at the shaky cultivators not far away, turned his head and asked the elders, "May I ask, do you know what those monsters that attacked this time are?"

The few people with sorrowful faces sighed softly upon hearing this. Just as one of them was about to say something, a person not far away ran in crying from an entrance next to the plaza, wailing to the crowd in the plaza: "It's all gone, everyone in the city is gone."

"There's not a single living person left in the city!"

"We have no home anymore."

After hearing that person's words, the originally noisy plaza suddenly became quiet. Zhang Zhi noticed that the few elders beside him were also trembling uncontrollably, and one of them even became shaky.

Then, a person in the plaza suddenly rushed over, grabbed that person, and shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"How could there be no living person left in the city!"

The man cried and pointed to the streets outside the plaza, saying: "Go and see for yourselves, the streets are full of clansmen who have been drained of their spirits."

"Everywhere!"

"How could ordinary people escape the detection of those gods!"

Hearing this person's words, many people in the plaza ran towards the exit like crazy.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi felt a sense of grief and indignation in his heart. Looking at the human high-level figures in front of him with sorrowful faces, he thought for a moment and then said: "Actually, I know that you must have concealed a lot of things before."

"And I am only here to collect information."

"If possible, I still hope you can tell me what those monsters today were."

"Why did they attack you?"

"Is this kind of situation frequent in the nearby areas?"

"Of course, you can also say you don't know."

"It's just that I think, with your own abilities, I'm afraid you basically have no way to avenge those monsters!"

One of the elders beside him seemed to want to say something, but in the end, the person slowly closed his mouth.

After the few people looked at each other, one person slowly shook his head and said: "Upper Envoy, we really don't know the origin of the monsters that attacked."

"We also don't know why they attacked us."

"Perhaps, it's related to those alien races that attacked us last time."

Zhang Zhi looked at the elders in front of him expressionlessly, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.

He glanced at them sideways and thought that it shouldn't be. Everyone in this city is a member of these people's clan.

In addition to the ordinary people in the city, there are also many cultivators who have fallen in this square, and there may even be their direct bloodline in it.

In the case of heavy casualties among their own people, they don't even want to say some of the most basic information. What is going on?

Or is there some secret hidden here?

He exchanged glances with Zixia beside him, pondered slightly, and then said to the few people: 'I will be staying at the previous residence these few days. You also know the location. If you find anything afterwards, you can come to me at any time.'

After saying that, he ignored the few people and turned around with Liu Wanwan to walk towards the city.

He was wondering if he could find something from the fallen ordinary people.

However, only a few minutes later, he and Zixia flew out of the city together.

For no other reason than that their psychological endurance was not good enough.

Perhaps it was because the attack of those monsters this time was very sudden, or perhaps the ordinary people here were too confident in the city's defense capabilities.

Anyway, before the disaster happened, there were still bustling crowds on the streets.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Zhi walked into the streets next to the square, he could see corpses lying in disarray everywhere, and there were even many children who were only a few years old.

This situation made people feel very uncomfortable, so after the two of them hurriedly glanced at it, they left the city.

Arriving in the air, Liu Wanwan, who was in a bad mood, looked back at the city and said in a somewhat unkind tone: "Are the hearts of those cultivators made of stone? Don't they have any feelings?"

"So many people in their own family have died, and even their close relatives are almost all dead, yet they are still covering up some so-called secrets."

"What is going on with this cultivation path?"

"Are the people who cultivate it all so inhuman?"

Zhang Zhi shook his head slightly and said: "Judging from the expressions of those people, they are actually still very grieved."

"The reason why they don't want to talk about the situation of those monsters is very likely because they can't say, they don't dare to say."

Liu Wanwan looked at Zhang Zhi with some doubt after hearing this: "Can't say? What can't be said?"

Zhang Zhi looked down at the city under his feet and slowly said: "There are many reasons why you can't speak!"

"Especially in front of so many people."

"For example, is it actually their fault in this matter?"

"Is there a possibility that those monsters are actually here for revenge?"

"The forces to which the family below belongs have also done the same thing to the forces to which those monsters belong."

"Therefore, they will be subjected to the same revenge by those monsters."

"If they tell us, these 'Upper Envoys' who came to investigate the situation in this area, about the origin of the monsters."

"Then their previous actions in this world will definitely be revealed!"

"The higher-ups in our main world hate this kind of thing very much."

"The higher-ups of this force must also be worried that we will know about such things."

"Those people just now are only a branch of a family. If they dare to reveal this matter, perhaps their entire family will be implicated."

Liu Wanwan showed a trace of astonishment on her face after hearing these words, but then slowly converged.

Indeed, the performance of those survivors in the city just now was too strange. If viewed according to Zhang Zhi's statement just now, their actions can be explained.

In order to avoid their entire family being wiped out, some things cannot be said indiscriminately.

Zhang Zhi turned to Liu Wanwan, whose expression was a little ugly, and said: "Let's go, let's go back first."

"Let's see later if anyone will come to us!"

Liu Wanwan was slightly stunned, and then understood the meaning of Zhang Zhi's words.

There were so many people in the square today, and most of them may have lost all their immediate family members.

Not everyone has the idea of ​​taking the overall situation into consideration.

And not everyone will be indifferent to the death of their relatives.

The reason why no one stood up just now was only because there were too many people around, and they didn't know the attitude of the two of them.

And it was that in such a short period of time, many people had not recovered from the pain of losing their loved ones.

At that time, those survivors had no way to think about too many things, so Zhang Zhi specifically said that they would still be at the previous residence these few days.

Since the distance was not very far, Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan flew back directly.

On the way, they could occasionally encounter teams of cultivators rushing to support them.

After returning to their residence in this world, Zhang Zhi frowned slightly: "Have those monsters really left this world?"

"Or did they sense something?"

"We've been gone for so long, and they still haven't taken action again."

Liu Wanwan turned her head and glanced in the direction they came from, and said: "I think those monsters have done a lot of things like this, and they know that if they come back again, they may be ambushed."

After thinking for a while, she slowly opened her mouth again and said: "Are those monsters really the 'gods' enshrined in those temples?"

"Were those ordinary residents in the city really killed directly by those monsters after draining their spirits?"

"What exactly is that spirit?"

"How do those human ancestors extract the spirits of sentient beings?"

"Is it because of the cultivation path in this world?"

"There seems to be something wrong with that cultivation path."

Zhang Zhi sighed softly: "Who knows."

"The answers to your questions may be available tonight."

The newest novels are first published on 69shu吧!

Liu Wanwan also sighed softly, and after a long silence, she said, "The number of deaths of the human race I saw today is more than the total I've seen in the past few decades!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhi also sighed in his heart. Even with two lifetimes, it was the first time he had witnessed so many people dying at once.

However, to comfort Liu Wanwan, he coughed lightly and said, "Ah, several decades? If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have known that Sister Wanwan is already several decades old."

"I'm only sixteen this year."

Originally feeling a little uncomfortable, Liu Wanwan glared at Zhang Zhi after hearing his words: "Okay, okay, okay."

"I know you're only sixteen."

"Zhang Zhi, you little kid!"

"Come on, call me 'Grandma' and let me hear it!"

Zhang Zhi couldn't handle it anymore, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Sister Wanwan, how many people do you think will come looking for us tonight?"

Liu Wanwan pondered for a moment and then said, "I think there should be at least seven or eight people."

. . . , . . .

Liu Wanwan's grasp of human nature was quite good. As soon as it got dark, someone came to the door.

That person directly gave Zhang Zhi a jade pendant: "Envoy, this jade pendant contains all the causes and consequences related to the attack we encountered today."

After saying that, the person turned and left directly.

The two looked at each other as the person's back disappeared.

That person was one of the elders in the square today, and this time, he came over without making any disguise, just like that.

Zhang Zhi sighed softly and said in a low voice, "It seems that he may no longer have anything to cherish in this world. It's just the sense of responsibility to the clan that made him endure until dark before coming."

Liu Wanwan nodded silently.

Looking down at the jade pendant in his hand, Zhang Zhi pondered slightly, and then with a thought, he began to check the contents inside.

Those monsters were indeed gods who came for revenge.

Oh, no, the human race here calls those gods enshrined in temples 'Spirits'.

The four spirits came from a force that had already been destroyed.

This world was destroyed by the force where that elder belonged, along with two other forces.

At that time, when destroying that force, the spirits on their side also did a lot of things like devouring the spirits of all the humans in a city.

Therefore, after these four spirits came to this world, they directly devoured all the spirits of the human race in a city so simply.

The reason for doing this was not only because the spirits needed a large amount of spirit to maintain their sanity, but also because if the spirits wanted to improve their cultivation, they still needed to devour a large amount of spirit.

The four spirits initially only had one spirit in the Weak Divine Power Realm. The other three were one Strange Spirit in the Legendary Realm and two Demigods.

They all advanced to the Spirit Realm after their descendants who worshiped them were slaughtered, and they frantically retaliated against the families within those forces at the time.

That elder seemed to really regard Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan as 'Envoys' who came to investigate the various dirty things between the forces.

The jade pendant basically contained all the dirty things done by all the forces in the nearby area that they knew.

After reading the information in the jade pendant, in addition to having a clearer understanding of the infighting between the human races in this world area, Zhang Zhi had a little more understanding of this cultivation path.

He didn't expect that those spirits enshrined in the temples could actually improve their cultivation by devouring spirit.

However, after reading the information, the doubts in his heart deepened.

It can be seen from the information that the human race, or any intelligent creature, will die directly after their spirit is devoured.

But, what exactly is this 'spirit'?

The so-called spirit described in the materials he had read in the library of Fengjing University before actually referred to a kind of ethereal thing similar to cause and effect, rather than some kind of substantial substance.

Unexpectedly, the human race in this world can directly materialize the spirit through some special cultivation methods.

In their cultivation path, they can actually convert spirit into a kind of energy.

It has to be said that the human race in this world area can become the eternal protagonist in this world area. There are indeed some things.

At this time, Zhang Zhi even suspected that the upper limit of the human race's cultivation in this world was in the Weak Divine Power Realm, not because it was blocked by the multiverse consciousness, but because this cultivation path only deduced the cultivation method of the Weak Divine Power Realm so far.

No, it shouldn't be the cultivation method of the Weak Divine Power Realm, but only the cultivation method to break through to the Weak Divine Power Realm.

It may be because the cultivators who cultivate spirit are very different from before after becoming 'Spirits', which makes the difficulty of deduction increase dramatically!

It is precisely because the cultivation method related to spirit is too difficult to deduce, which leads to the upper limit of the entire human race's cultivation being stuck in the Weak Divine Power Realm.

However, judging from the situation of the spirits and dependents fighting in the afternoon, this cultivation path is extremely strange to any living being.

However, the dependents summoned by the World Lord path are all condensed through the power of the world and have no spirit at all, so they are inherently restrained to death.

However, if this cultivation path really cannot be broken through only because of the upper limit of the cultivation method, then later, you can try to deduce a higher-level cultivation method.

This path should also be a powerful cultivation path that can kill enemies across borders.

Not long after reading the jade pendant sent by the elder, another person came to the door soon.

This person should also be one of the elders at that time, but this one wore a set of clothing that could isolate divine sense detection, including the head.

In order to show respect, Zhang Zhi did not probe who was under the tightly covered clothes.

After he came up, he said that he was willing to tell Zhang Zhi everything he knew, but the only requirement was that Zhang Zhi could kill the four spirits who came to escape today.

After listening to his words, Zhang Zhi thought for a while and said that he could not guarantee that he could bring the four spirits to justice, because he was not familiar with the four spirits at all and could not find their traces, but he guaranteed that he would do his best to bring the four spirits to justice.

After hearing Zhang Zhi's reply, the man thought for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed to Zhang Zhi's proposal.

Seeing that the other party agreed to his proposal, he first asked some questions related to the information just obtained from the jade pendant.

This can verify whether there is a problem with the information in the jade pendant, or whether the person in front of him is lying.

After verifying the content in the jade pendant with the answer of the person in front of him and finding that there was not much discrepancy, Zhang Zhi suddenly asked a question that had nothing to do with the power conflict:

"Your cultivation path currently only has the cultivation method to break through to the Spirit Realm, but there is no cultivation method after the Spirit Realm, right?"

After hearing Zhang Zhi's question, the man was slightly stunned. After thinking for a moment, he looked up at Zhang Zhi with a somewhat inexplicable look and said, "The question you asked, Envoy, makes me feel a little inexplicable at first."

"Now that you have broken through to the Spirit Realm, how can there be a follow-up cultivation method?"

After a pause, he said, "But you, Envoy, certainly won't make this kind of common sense mistake."

He stared at Zhang Zhi and said word by word, "So, in your cognition, Envoy, there are actually more realms after the Spirit Realm, right?"

After hearing the man's rhetorical question, Zhang Zhi was amazed by the man's keen observation energy. After hesitating slightly, he said, "Indeed, in our cognition, breaking through to the Spirit Realm is only the first small step in cultivation."

"Each entry into the Spirit Realm is the Weak Divine Power Realm, followed by Low, Medium, Powerful, Half-step God King, and God King Realm."

After hearing Zhang Zhi's words, a light flashed in the man's eyes. After taking a deep breath, he said, "In the world where you are, Envoy, is it difficult to obtain these cultivation methods?"

Zhang Zhi glanced at the person in front of him, and understood his plan in his heart. After thinking for a while, he said, "If you have good qualifications, these cultivation methods can even be obtained for free."

"It's just that the current cognition of this world area is not allowed to go to my world."

Looking at the disappointment flashing in the man's eyes, Zhang Zhi hesitated for a while and still said, "Actually, maybe after a while, you will be integrated here. At that time, you can try to see if you can find a cultivation method that suits you."

After the man learned this information from Zhang Zhi, he began to explain all the information he knew to Zhang Zhi.

Among them, there were also a lot of materials related to this cultivation path that Zhang Zhi wanted to know before.

This cultivation path, indeed, as Zhang Zhi and Liu Wanwan had guessed before, regarded 'spirit' as the energy of cultivation.

And their process of materializing spirit is a bit complicated. To put it simply, it is to use the characteristic that the soul will lose spirit after death, and use this cultivation method to connect people with the soul that can detect the loss of spirit.

Then, those enshrined souls, because there is often a large amount of spirit loss and replenishment in their bodies, gradually become 'spiritualized'.

The 'spiritualized' soul can directly control spirit.
