Chapter 145: Everyone is shocked, meeting in a dream, and understanding the magic power ( words)
Just as Xu Gu expected, there were indeed quite a few leaders of various forces in the Daliang Demon Cave, who were watching the scene in the Demon Sect's ancestral land.
On top of a sacred peak inside the Daliang Demon Cave, there is a water curtain formed by six huge water columns gushing out. The scene inside the water curtain is exactly the scene inside the ancestral land of the Demon Sect.
To be precise, it is a picture of the surrounding scene of Xu Gu and the other six people.
Next to each water curtain, there are hundreds of sparrows hovering around the water curtain. They do not make any sounds, or their calls are very special, simulating the various sounds in the scene.
The water curtain restores the picture, and hundreds of spirit birds restore the sound.
Most of the leaders of the super forces who came to the Daliang Demon Cave are now on this sacred peak, gathered in front of the water curtain, watching every move of Xu Gu and others in the ancestral land of the Demon Sect.
At the same time, Concubine Huanqi casually set up several formations to block the insight of the demons in the Daliang Demon Cave.
Even if Han Changsheng, Ping Wuji and others were standing on this sacred peak, they would not be able to detect anything unusual.
Although all the decision-makers were crowded on this sacred peak and the place was a bit small, there were no constant quarrels or minor frictions like the meeting in Taiyi Taoist Sect not long ago.
Because, Concubine Huanqi also thoughtfully set up other formations.
Dozens of areas were divided around the sacred peak, and dozens of temporary caves were built by the disciples.
In the cave, as long as you don't want to, the outside world can't sense your actions inside. If you want to, not only can you make a sound for the person in charge to hear, but you can also project your own shadow in front of the water curtain for other people in charge to see.
Originally, watching Xu, Gu and the other six people's training in the ancestral land of the Demonic Path was just an act for the leaders of the righteous forces to pass the time when they felt bored while getting familiar with the place and changing the place.
After all, it was just an experience for the younger generation, and they didn't expect it to be very exciting.
Even among these six juniors, five are the famous Five Evils of the Righteous Path.
Who made them the leaders of this super-powerful group of people? Each of them is a gifted genius. Any one of them can be the protagonist in a novel or a story. When they were young, they were not much worse than Li Shaobai and others.
Now they are in high positions, and the weakest are in the late stage of fusion. If their wonderful experiences were compiled into books, they could fill a mountain.
However, they soon changed their attitude. They used to watch casually to kill time because of boredom, but now they are fully focused and try not to miss any details.
And all this is because of Xu Gu!
"Good man! What's wrong with his brain? How can he be so resourceful!"
"They are simply treating those Divine Demon Cultivators like dogs!"
"Even a few combined demon cultivators were played around with by the palm of their hands."
"Is he really not some semi-immortal being who took over another body and was reborn? Isn't this too outrageous?"
"If we can share some of his intelligence with our physical cultivators, wouldn't we physical cultivators be invincible?"
The people outside were all expressing their surprise, and no one was stingy with their praise.
Even these absolute giants in the Central Continent could not hide their shock after seeing Xu Gu's amazing operations one after another.
They even put themselves in the situation and found that if they were in the same conditions as Xu Gu, they would definitely not be able to achieve this level.
No, it is far from that level.
Even to reach the level of Zhao Jingang, Huan Caiyi, Li Shaobai and the other five people is a little difficult.
This naturally shocked them greatly.
"What's going on? I was away for only a short while, how come Xu has become the lord of a city?"
"Just destroy the Qian family and Cangjian Villa like this?"
"Being worshipped as the master by the three major families?"
"Do you want to be so exaggerated?"
There was a person in charge who left for something. After he resolved the matter, he came back to continue watching. He was immediately stunned and looked confused.
He was wondering whether he had been away for a few days, a few months, or even a few years.
"Have you written it all down?
“Aren’t the contents of the next few issues of the internal reference already here?
"Moreover, it's even more explosive than the previous issues about Xu Zhijian!"
A high-ranking official from the Shang Dynasty court was extremely excited.
Before, they had always been worried that after Xu Zhijian left the Huailiu ghost world, it would be difficult for him to come up with any exciting moves in a short period of time. It would probably take him a while to fade into the mainstream before he could do anything big again.
As it turned out, they were totally overthinking it.
It had been less than a month or two, and Xu Gu had done something big again, even more exciting and bigger than what he had done in the Huailiu ghost world!
And judging from the signs, it’s not over yet!
Next, Xu Gu has a big job to do!
The material is enough to support the court to publish three to five more special issues on Xu Gu!
This time, sales will only explode!
It will definitely break the sales record previously created by Xu Gu’s previous special issues.
“We will start to deconstruct and analyze it now, compile it into an internal reference special issue, and gather all the useful people nearby to work together to compile both the text and video versions, and then publish them directly.
"What? Audit? I am the biggest auditor.
“It must be sorted out as soon as possible and put on the shelves for distribution!”
This important official representing the imperial court was very anxious and urged his subordinate officials to compile a new issue of internal reference and put it on the shelves for publication.
The reason is very simple. So many leaders of the super-powerful forces were watching the live broadcast on the spot.
If it was sorted out too late, I am afraid that these people in charge would have already spread what they had seen of Xu Gu's experience.
By then, they will become pirated products.
……
“He’s really great!”
Hong Loulan, the owner of Rouge Shop, who was also watching the live broadcast, couldn't help licking her lips and said seductively, "I really want to..."
"What are you so naughty about? He's mine!"
Ming Yuexin, the leader of the Yin Yang Sect, had a gloomy face and knocked Hong Loulan to the ground with one punch.
Although this punch was just a joke between two close friends and the amplitude of the movement was not large, it still caused the waves on their chests to rise and fall violently, almost breaking the coarse cloth that bound them.
"What do you mean by yours and mine?" Hong Loulan got up from the ground and said resentfully, "You haven't succeeded yet, have you? I think it's hard for you to succeed. Why don't you let me do it? When I succeed, I'll ask my husband to help you solve your needs.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm a very traditional girl. I'm lending it to you to help you solve your needs, not in that aspect, but in that aspect."
"..." Mingyuexin's mouth twitched, and she swung out another punch, knocking down Hongloulan who had just climbed up.
Before Hong Loulan could complain again, Ming Yuexin's face turned dark and she said in a low voice:
“It’s all your fault!
“Back then in the Taiyi Taoist Council Hall, no matter how I called you, you refused to leave!
"Now it's over! I didn't catch up! Not only did he enter the Demonic Land before I arrived at the Daliang Demon Cave, but my idea of hiding my identity and pretending to meet him by chance also didn't work.
"Besides, he has performed even better than before, so he will only become more popular.
"You don't know, I secretly asked my female disciples to take a look at the other old women. Their behavior was even more exaggerated than yours, as if they had never seen a man before!"
Mingyuexin complained for a while, and became angrier and angrier. Finally, she couldn't help but punch Hongloulan, who had just gotten up and had disheveled hair and slightly untidy clothes, and knocked her out again.
"You're in trouble. I will tell Xu Gu about your violent tendencies." Hong Loulan said softly, lying on the ground, looking very pitiful.
Mingyuexin's mouth twitched again.
If I had violent tendencies, you would be dead a long time ago.
I've been hurt so badly by you that I only gave you a few painless punches. I think it's really too merciful.
"You can't blame me for this." Hong Loulan got up from the ground, spread her hands, and said helplessly: "Who could have thought that something like this would happen. At that time, I really didn't delay on purpose, I really had something important to do.
“The rouge industry of our Rouge Shop has indeed reached saturation, and we urgently need to develop new industries.
"How could I let go of such a good opportunity to promote the popularity of 'Hobby Clothes'?
"As for Xu Gu becoming more popular, you don't have to worry too much. You were not competitive in the first place, and you still are not competitive now. For you, there is no change, and there is no loss."
Mingyuexin sighed, knowing that it was not Hongloulan's fault, and she could understand Hongloulan's behavior.
However, after hearing the last part, his face turned dark again and he wanted to beat Hong Loulan up.
Because, "Red Loulan" really touches people's hearts!
What do you mean it was not competitive at all in the first place and it still is not competitive at all now, so there is no loss?
Hong Loulan didn't wait for Ming Yuexin to respond and couldn't help but said, "I'm more curious, why did you send someone to get information? Aren't you afraid of running into some private matters and then being silenced?
"Which unlucky guy did you send?"
This is not nonsense on her part.
As for women, when they are together in private, they definitely like to joke and play around with each other.
The topics discussed by women are not necessarily purer than those discussed by men.
In particular, these women are absolute big shots in the outside world, some are domineering and majestic, some are noble and elegant, and some are kind and peaceful.
If someone accidentally finds out the difference between how they behave in private and how they behave in daily life, they might really be silenced.
"Of course it's the little red skirt." Ming Yuexin smiled and said, "It's not as serious as you say. When she went to find those women, she would definitely report it, otherwise she would not be allowed in.
"Besides, she was not alone, she was with their female disciples."
"Just catch her and cause trouble for her alone." When she heard that it was Li Hongqun, Hong Loulan's mouth twitched. It was indeed her. For a moment, she felt a little sorry for Li Hongqun.
As for Mingyuexin's words, she just treated them as Mingyuexin's fart.
Would normal reporting be able to find out the private reactions of those female decision-makers?
There must have been other means used.
As far as she knew, all the Yin Yang Sect needed to do was to send in some special divination tools, and the Yin Yang Sect would have the means to deduce the scenes around these divination tools.
And because this is a scene deduced using cause and effect, rather than observation using props connected to the outside world, it is difficult to be discovered.
Even if the opponents are all powerful beings who have achieved the state of transcending tribulation through integration.
I guess Mingyuexin asked Li Hongqun to deliver those special divination tools.
But those women are not easy to deal with and will soon find out the clues.
In fact, when Li Hongqun went in, she might have been suspected.
"It's okay. The method is very covert and will not be discovered. However, you can only see one scene."
Ming Yuexin said in a depressed mood: "Xu Gu is really more popular than I thought. It seems that I have no hope."
Previously, Hong Loulan said that Xu Gu was very popular, and there were many powerful female fairies of their generation, including some leaders and high-ranking officials of super-powerful forces, who admired him.
Originally, she didn't quite believe it.
After all, it's too exaggerated.
At their position, each of them is a local overlord, with strong power and high status, and most of them are also very beautiful. How could most of them like such a young man?
Besides, even if you like someone, shouldn't you like him secretly?
Being in such a high position, aren't you reserved at all?
Now, she completely believed it.
The old saying that old cows eat young grass is indeed true.
It's true that most of the single older female cultivators have thoughts about Xu Gu! "Isn't this nonsense?" Hong Loulan rolled her eyes and said, "After cultivating immortals for a lifetime, most of the female cultivators at our level have almost reached the end in terms of status and cultivation.
“It’s time to enjoy it, naturally.
"And, finding a young man as a Taoist partner who is resourceful, mature, steady, reassuring, self-made and extremely wealthy, and most importantly, handsome and famous, is undoubtedly the greatest enjoyment.
"Oh, I forgot, except for you, your Yin Yang Sect still has a lot of room for improvement, and it is far from the time for you to enjoy it.
"It's normal that you don't understand their thoughts."
"..." Mingyuexin's face was filled with black lines. She clenched her delicate hands and forced herself not to punch Hongloulan again.
She was listening so seriously, but I said a lot just to hurt her heart, right?
"Hahaha."
Seeing that Mingyuexin was about to go berserk, Hongloulan quickly laughed dryly and stopped hurting Mingyuexin. Instead, she suggested:
“Don’t get stuck in a rut.
"Although, there is no way to hide my identity and bump into him now. But can't I still wait for him to come out?"
Ming Yuexin was speechless. She sneered and said, "By then, I'm afraid he will run into a group of old women in disguise. I won't even be able to get a number in the queue."
"Yes, this idea is not difficult to think of. Others will definitely think of it as well." Hong Loulan adjusted the hair by her ears and lowered her eyebrows in thought. This action was very charming, but unfortunately no one appreciated it.
After a moment, Hong Loulan suddenly raised her head, raised the corners of her mouth, and smiled proudly:
"I'm such a genius."
"What evil idea have you come up with?" Mingyuexin asked distrustfully.
"This is definitely a genius idea." Hong Loulan rolled her eyes and said, "Aren't you Yin Yang Sect members good at dreaming?"
"You want to harm me?" Mingyuexin raised her eyebrows.
"No, aren't you good at building dreams and living or practicing in dreams?" Hong Loulan said.
"Yes." Mingyuexin nodded.
She always felt that what he said was a bit strange.
Because, they practice or live in dreams because their sect is too poor and they cannot have entertainment outside, so they can only hide in dreams for entertainment.
This is not something worth promoting.
Hong Loulan didn't care about Ming Yuexin's thoughts, but with a gleam in her eyes, she said: "You can create a dream, pull Xu Gu in, and then meet him in the dream.
"After meeting each other in dreams for a long time and developing feelings for each other, wouldn't it be natural for us to meet in reality?
“Moreover, meeting in a dream does not require logic, nor does it involve any psychological burden.
"Just take off your clothes... wuwuwu."
Mingyuexin, who was listening to what was said before, also had her eyes shining and her face showing excitement. She was very thrilled.
That's indeed a good idea.
No, it's a genius idea.
It can definitely help her turn the situation around, suppress other competitors, and take down Xu Gu!
However, what Hong Loulan said next was not suitable for children. If she was allowed to continue, she would probably be embarrassed to death.
In fact, even if Mingyuexin stopped it in time, she still blushed and was very embarrassed.
"Tsk, you're still shy. Don't forget, when we two went out to gain experience together, it was you who secretly read the erotic novels. The first time I came into contact with that kind of thing, I borrowed it from you." Hong Loulan said.
"..." Ming Yuexin's mouth twitched and she sighed towards the sky.
She swore that she was really innocent.
That's something she didn't know!
When she was a child, she often saw her uncles and aunts passing a book around. They all smiled and looked excited and happy. She thought it was some kind of magic or supernatural power.
She spoke several times, saying that she also wanted to see and learn the magic skills, but the elders would not let her learn.
She said she was still young and it wasn’t suitable for her yet, and she could watch it when she grew up.
So, the rebellious girl secretly took it out when she went out for a trial.
Who knew it was actually a vernacular novel, and one of the color variety!
The most important thing is that when she was watching, she was discovered by Hong Loulan.
"You are such a genius, you can actually come up with this idea!" Mingyuexin blocked Hongloulan's mouth and said quickly: "However, it is not easy to meet him in dreams, and to meet him frequently in dreams without being discovered. I still need to make some preparations.
"I'm going back to the sect to ask for a magic weapon from the sect. What about you?"
"Then let's go together." Hong Loulan glanced at the scene in the water curtain. Now Xu Gu and Zhao Jingang were comprehending the remaining chapters of the Heavenly Demon. It was estimated that there would not be any major operations in the next few days, so let's go together.
"Okay." Mingyuexin nodded.
Soon, after tidying up their appearance and making sure they would not lose composure, the two of them hurriedly left the place and flew to the Yin Yang Sect to retrieve the sect's treasure and prepare to build their dream.
……
The ancestral land of the devil,
In the martial arts arena, an excellent position was vacated for Zhao Jingang and Xu Gu to meditate.
Of course, it was mainly for Zhao Jingang to comprehend.
Xu Gu is just there to make up the numbers.
In fact, it can be said that he was not just a bystander. Xu Gu set up several formations around Zhao Jingang to isolate him from the outside world. This was to protect Zhao Jingang while he was meditating.
Normally speaking, the formation he set up would definitely not be able to isolate this group of Divine Transformation cultivators and the three great masters in the state of Fusion.
However, he had each family set up a formation so that he would not have to worry about them leaving a backdoor.
Similarly, he also used the formation plate given to him by Junior Sister Huancaiyi to set up several formations.
It can be said that it is absolutely hidden.
In fact, with his current prestige in Lingxiao City, even if he drew a circle, no one would dare to investigate the situation here.
He did this mainly to appear less idle.
Two days later, Zhao Jingang, who was comprehending the remaining fragments of the Heavenly Demon, suddenly opened his eyes.
"How do you feel?" Xu Gu, who had been standing by and ready to give advice at any time, asked.
Zhao Jingang nodded, then shook his head: "I did comprehend something. But it's useless."
"What do you mean?" Xu Gu raised his eyebrows.
"These two fragments should be together, but even if the two fragments are added together, there is still a lot of content missing."
Zhao Jingang said: “Although the runes recorded on this fragment are very special, similar to the immortal heavenly book, even a single character can reveal something.
“After reading these two fragments, I successfully comprehended a magical power.
"It's very powerful, and should be no less powerful than the Night Parade of Ten Thousand Ghosts that you practiced, but because it's incomplete, the cost is too high."
Xu Gu nodded to show that he understood.
Although he had comprehended a powerful magic power, and it was very powerful, the price he had to pay was too high for ordinary people to bear. Therefore, it was useless.
"What's the price?" Xu Gu asked.
The reason why he asked this was not to ask what the cost was and then consider whether he could afford it, but to think about whether there could be any improvement.
After that, Xu Gu added: "Not only the price, but also the effects, principles, etc., try to be as detailed as possible."
Zhao Jingang nodded and said, "The magical power I have learned can allow me to absorb the energy and spirit of others after killing them, and also devour their spirit and soul, and merge them into my own body, making me rapidly stronger.
“The effect of this magical power is very powerful.
"In the magic world, there are many tonic skills. However, they are more like treating other people's spirits as food, and are easier to obtain panaceas.
"Practicing this kind of skills and magical powers, after replenishing the essence of others, although it can improve your strength, but the specific amount of improvement depends on how much you can digest, and the improvement is relatively slow."
Xu Gu nodded in approval: "Continue."
Zhao Jingang continued: "The magic power I learned from it is not based on this principle. It is more like treating the human body as a country, and the spirit of other people as other countries.
"You can directly plunder the spirit of others and integrate it into your own body to become stronger. Just like you can directly occupy other people's countries and quickly expand the size of your own country."
"I see." Xu Gu nodded and said, "It's equivalent to direct fusion. It directly integrates the power of others into one's own body without digesting it.
“For example, treating other people’s flesh as one’s own flesh and other people’s souls as one’s own souls.
"This speed of becoming stronger is indeed very fast."
"Yes." Zhao Jingang nodded and said, "That's right. However, this also caused a very big problem.
"Because, if you absorb other people's spirits without consuming them and integrate them into your own, it will cause them to retain some of their consciousness from before they died. After practicing to a certain level, your consciousness will split into countless parts."
"The price is indeed very high." Xu Gu raised his eyebrows slightly. This is no longer just a high price, but suicide. It's not that his consciousness is split into countless parts, but that his consciousness is swallowed and differentiated by the consciousness of others, and he gradually loses himself.
After a certain point, the body is filled with the consciousness of countless people, controlling each other, which is actually the same as being dead.
It is equivalent to a magical skill that constantly leads to death.
"Can't these consciousnesses be erased?" Xu Gu asked.
Zhao Jingang shook his head decisively: "No. These essences, energy and spirits are actually the soil that breeds consciousness. To destroy consciousness is equivalent to digesting these essences, energy and spirits. In this way, only a small amount of essence and power can be absorbed. It will be similar to ordinary tonic skills and magical powers, and the promotion speed will be greatly reduced."
"That's the truth." Xu Gu was not surprised, but fell into deep thought, thinking about how to improve his skills.
"If I can find more fragments, perhaps the cost of the magic power I deduce may be lower." Zhao Jingang said.
"There's no rush." Xu Gu said with a smile.
He would certainly find all the fragments, but there was no rush now.
Because he had an idea.
"Since it is not advisable to directly integrate other people's spirit into oneself, is it possible not to integrate it into oneself?" Xu Gu said with a smile.
"Not integrated into oneself?" Zhao Jingang scratched his head, very puzzled: "How is this possible? If it is not integrated into oneself, there is no way to become stronger. The essence of this magical power is to integrate into oneself..."
Xu Gu shook his head, interrupted Zhao Jingang, and said with a smile: "Let me give you an example. If I materialize my spirit, energy and spirit, let's just materialize it into a sword. Then, can I materialize the spirit, energy and spirit of others into a ring?
“Then, put this ring on my sword.
"When I'm fighting, I mobilize the power in this ring. When I'm not fighting, even if this ring has consciousness, it can't affect me."
"Hiss." After hearing Xu Gu's words, Zhao Jingang's eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Maybe it can be done."
It may be because I stared at the computer screen and typed for a long time, which made my eyes sore and sore, so I often rubbed them with my hands, which directly caused one of my eyes to become swollen. I saw a doctor, who told me to put some eye drops in and rest for a while.
So, today I only have 6,000 words, which counts as half a day off.
(End of this chapter)
