Do not die

Since embarking on the path of spiritual practice, Meng Zhou has achieved countless achievements along the way.

If it were announced, it would be enough to cause wave after wave of subversive shocks to the spiritual world.

But if Meng Zhou was asked to rank these achievements by himself, after some thinking and weighing, Meng Zhou felt that the biggest gain was not in a specific achievement, but in the subtle change in mentality.

Due to his continuous and subversive success, he has completed the psychological "disenchantment" of existing concepts in the spiritual world.

For any problems or obstacles in practice, he can maintain a detached and level-headed gaze, face them with the confidence to examine, study and firmly believe that he can eventually solve them.

For example, right now, at this most dangerous moment of life and death, there were unexpected changes in his body, shape, and thoughts.

It looked like God was going to take this opportunity to kill him, an anomaly that was beyond common sense, and a situation of death and no life was imminent.

But in the face of such a dilemma, the mentality he had gradually condensed and developed since his practice prevented him from panicking in such a situation.

On the contrary, my thoughts are clearer than ever before, and my thoughts run as fast as light and electricity.

This is not only blessed by the talent of the "transparent Taoist body", but more importantly, it is the transcendence of the mentality.

Even though his body was in danger of collapse, his soul was in danger of being separated, and he was clearly standing on the edge of the abyss, he was still able to observe everything detachedly and calmly like a bystander, completely reaching the state of "nothing outside the heart".

His thoughts were spinning like lightning, and in an instant, Meng Zhou reviewed in his mind all the achievements he had made since his practice.

And just as he was completing this review, he pulled out the means that could be used to deal with the current dangerous situation one by one and placed them in the most eye-catching positions.

In the most eye-catching position in Meng Zhou's heart, these "cards" were placed.

Meng Zhou's eyes swept over them one by one.

The first "card" he looked at was called "Rebirth of Flesh and Blood".

This was also the first method that Meng Zhou thought of to break the situation, and it seemed to be the simplest and most feasible.

With the selfless contribution of a large number of Lihen Sect's elixirs in the Outer Territories, he has cultivated this fourth-level skill to a perfect state.

At this level, Meng Zhou has completely grasped the core essence of "flesh and blood rebirth".

A large amount of mixed evil energy that has penetrated deep into the body with the thunder is "contaminating" his powerful body and bloodline?

A "flesh and blood rebirth" can easily solve it.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the body's "resurrection from the dead", not only can the filthy evil spirits that seep into the depths of the blood vessels like gangrene on the bones be removed, but the body's physical condition can also be restored to this.

This is simply a "refresh" magic skill.

And, the fun doesn’t stop there.

"Rebirth of flesh and blood" has a side effect that is always there with you. As long as it is used, it will inevitably happen.

That is, every time you "resurrection from the dead", there must be a part of the mind and thoughts as a price at the soul level, or as a "sacrifice", as the "firewood" and "fuel" to activate this skill, permanently lose.

This is a side effect.

But after Meng Zhou cultivated "flesh and blood rebirth" to perfection, he gained the ability to choose the price according to his own heart.

In other words, the sacrificed thoughts are no longer random events, but can be designated by him in advance.

In this way, this "side effect" has become the sharpest weapon to deal with this "inner demon calamity" that is beyond common sense.

He can completely designate the "inner demons" who are causing chaos in his soul pool as the price for using "flesh and blood rebirth".

As the physical body is "resurrected and refreshed", those "inner demons" who wantonly cause chaos will also be ruthlessly wiped out.

If the kill is not clean once, then kill it twice; if it is not clean after two kills, kill it three times...

Anyway, as long as you "die" and "resurrection" enough times, no matter how stubborn and troublesome the "inner demon" is, you can eventually cut it off.

But soon, Meng Zhou realized the hidden dangers of this method of coping.

What needs to be kept in mind is that his core purpose is not to save his life under this catastrophe, but to take the opportunity to break through to a higher realm.

"Rebirth of flesh and blood" can certainly preserve his body and shape, but only one "refresh" is needed to eliminate the crisis that needs to be faced by him.

But that's exactly what happened. Although his body was preserved every time he was "refreshed", it actually allowed his body to avoid facing the disaster, and took the opportunity to be tempered and use it as a step to move upward. Opportunities to go further.

In this way, even if he finally succeeds in overcoming the disaster, the result will be unsatisfactory.

This is not called "overcoming the disaster" successfully, it should be called "avoiding the disaster" successfully.

Even if he achieves Nascent Soul, he is still "congenitally lame".

What's more, Meng Zhou synthesized the past cases of those who overcame the tribulation and found that there was a clear set of rules and mechanisms behind the rise and fall of the Nascent Soul Tribulation.

When the Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation is formed, there are only three situations in which the Heavenly Tribulation can be stopped.

One is to successfully overcome the tribulation.

The second is that those who have overcome the tribulation are knocked down by the tribulation, or they give up voluntarily and their ranks drop.

The third is that the person who overcomes the tribulation dies, and the tribulation loses its target.

In the collection of ancient books that Meng Zhou browsed through with the help of Kou Chong, there were no cases of those who had survived the tribulation being resurrected on the spot.

Therefore, Meng Zhou was not sure whether he recognized the natural calamity by using the "innovative method of overcoming the calamity" of constantly "resurrecting from the dead".

If after "resurrection from the dead", he saw the scene of the heavenly tribulation dissipating, it would be really embarrassing.

And this is the possibility that "heavenly way" slightly favors him.

Who can guarantee that if he "dies" at this time, he can really be pulled back by a fourth-level skill?

What if "dying" under the heavenly tribulation will get a stronger endorsement from the level of the great way rules, and he will die thoroughly and never be resurrected again?

Based on these considerations, "rebirth of flesh and blood" became the first card that Meng Zhou thought of, and also the first card that Meng Zhou abandoned.

But Meng Zhou did not really abandon it completely, and some important key points were still extracted by him.

All this is a long story, but for Meng Zhou, it is actually a psychological activity that occurs in a moment.

Then, Meng Zhou's eyes swept over several other "cards".

Among these "cards", there are "green lotus seeds" that seem to have little effect but are actually very useful;

There are also Meng Zhou's various experiences from creating the first-level body refining method, to the second-level cultivation method, and finally integrating "body refining", "qi refining" and "soul refining" under the third-level "Bright Moon in the Vast Sea" cultivation method;

There is also the original intention of Meng Zhou's three-pole circulation system that he created from the beginning of the Qi training stage;

Among these "cards", there is also the understanding of "the nature of water" that has been suppressed at the bottom of the box for a long time.

Meng Zhou's eyes fell on this last "card", and he had a sudden realization in his heart that "when I look back, the person is in the dim light".

"This is my foundation."

Unconsciously, he has not thought of this for a long time.

Although his cultivation path has not deviated from this path, he has been moving forward more by inertia in the original direction, and he has somewhat forgotten this core purpose.

At this critical moment between life and death, when the Dan was about to impact the Yuanying, the main idea and core outline of the Great Dao that he had pushed to the edge of the corner was moved back to the center again, back to the position where it should have been.

And just when Meng Zhou thought of this and made adjustments in time, the method of dealing with it emerged in his mind like a blessing.

In an instant, Meng Zhou, who closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on the surface of the "Xingxiu Tianchi" and resisted the heavenly tribulations, instantly turned into a ball of water.

This seems to be a simple change of the Five Elements Universal Body in the water system talent of "Vortex Water Body", but the connotation is far more than that.

The ball of water he incarnated at this moment is the culmination of his various achievements and perceptions along the way.

In the face of the fierce power of the heavenly tribulation, this ball of water showed the characteristics of "submissive and weak".

Compared with the physical body resisting, Meng Zhou, who turned into water, no longer pursued a head-on confrontation in the face of the power of the heavenly tribulation.

No longer seeking to weaken the heavenly tribulation with the greatest of his ability and the highest efficiency.

More thunder tribulation plasma, mixed with evil spirits, seeped into it, as if to completely pollute the water that Meng Zhou's body had transformed into, but they were all accepted by the water that Meng Zhou had transformed into.

The ruthless iron fist of the heavenly tribulation seemed to hit the air.

The true meaning of "the sea embraces all rivers and embraces all things" is hidden in it.

Of course, the water that Meng Zhou transformed into is not a "sea" after all, nor does it have the characteristics of "embracing all things", and it has its carrying limit after all.

Therefore, the group of water he transformed into is not a pool of static dead water, but a group of "living water" that "flows continuously and circulates back and forth".

"Running water does not rot, and door hinges do not rot". Sometimes, the true meaning of the Tao is hidden in simple common sense.

Whether it is the overflowing thunder tribulation plasma or the extremely dirty evil spirits mixed in it, they are all being consumed and purified little by little in the continuous reciprocating flow of this group of water.

Although the efficiency of the purification process is slow, it never stops and is being consumed everywhere.

As long as you are within the range of this "water", you cannot escape or avoid it.

If all the changes stop here, it cannot be called magical.

It cannot be regarded as a solution to the problem. At most, it just resolves the disaster encountered by the body and soul.

The "heart demon disaster" still cannot be resolved.

And this is the real subtlety.

Because it is not only the "water" transformed by Meng Zhou's physical body that has undergone such changes, but also the "water" transformed by the soul pool.

The various characteristics of the "water" transformed by the physical body are reproduced in the "water" transformed by the soul pool.

Those "heart demons" that were originally rampant in the soul pool were ruthlessly drawn into the millstone formed by the water of the soul.

Compared with the "water" transformed by the physical body, which is strictly constrained by the rules of the real world and the real world, from the momentum, it is far less spectacular than the changes that occurred in the soul pool of the sea of ​​consciousness.

The Soul Pond was no longer a "pond", but rather a boundless ocean.

All the "heart demons" that had awakened under the thunder of the heavenly tribulation and wreaked havoc were all in this boundless ocean, flowing and floating uncontrollably, and were purified and consumed bit by bit.

This certainly brought a huge burden to Meng Zhou's soul, but the brilliance that the "green lotus seed" that had sunk into the Soul Pond continuously emitted, and the true meaning of life and creation contained in it, completely dispelled his concerns in this regard.

Perhaps it was the changes brought about by the heavenly tribulation, or perhaps it was the resonance and response between the body and the soul, or perhaps it was the "nature of water" that Meng Zhou had comprehended that already contained this characteristic. The vitality and creation truth constantly released by the "green lotus seeds" also penetrated into the water that Meng Zhou's body had transformed into.

The effect brought about by this not only enhanced the various characteristics of this water, but also greatly enhanced its tolerance for thunder tribulation plasma and turbid evil spirits, as well as its ability to eliminate and purify them.

It also made Meng Zhou clearly feel that under this constant confrontation, the speed of "ascending the stairs" that was originally constantly moving upwards was significantly accelerated.

The heavenly tribulation was stronger than the other, and it should be more and more difficult to deal with it.

But for Meng Zhou, the situation was just the opposite.

After finding the right method, he felt that it was getting easier and easier to deal with it, and the speed of "ascending the stairs" was getting faster and faster.

With the giant hammer of the heavenly tribulation, his growth rate was obviously faster than the growth rate of the power of the heavenly tribulation.

At such a critical moment, he even began to have spare energy to pay attention to other things.

Although he was the person involved, Meng Zhou at this moment had the detachment and carefreeness of an outsider.

Meng Zhou, who originally had the ability to observe the changes in the outside world when he entered deep meditation, experienced the state of "nothing outside the mind" between life and death. It felt like another veil was torn off, and the world became more transparent in his heart.

His eyes first passed through the barrier between "Xingxiu Tianchi" and "Xingxiu Sea" and saw the vast range of the sky calamity cloud group above the empty sea area of ​​Xingxiu Sea.

The surging thunderclouds, condensed spiritual energy, and mixed evil spirits, like a big pot of stew, poured down all at once.

The barrier between "Xingxiu Tianchi" and "Xingxiu Sea" seemed to be non-existent in front of the sky calamity, and it was easily locked on him, the main person.

Meng Zhou also found that his "sight" could easily extend to any area covered by the sky calamity cloud group.

He first took advantage of this convenience to do an "anatomical level" study of the sky calamity, and concluded that there would be no other twists and turns later.

Then, Meng Zhou's "gaze extended to the edge of the calamity cloud, and he "saw" the three Yuanying Zhenjun standing at the edge of the calamity cloud.

They seemed to have turned into solidified statues, looking at the area where the calamity fell at a 45-degree angle, all with a dumbfounded look.

Meng Zhou's "gaze" did not stay on the three people for too long, and soon turned to the direction of Lingming Island.

His "gaze" could not see there, but through the interference changes of the calamity cloud in that direction, he could basically conclude that there was also a Yuanying calamity cloud there.

Meng Zhou was a little surprised about this, but not too surprised.

He even vaguely guessed Who is the person who is undergoing the tribulation?

After his "gaze" "roamed" outside for a while and confirmed that there was no power that could interfere with his tribulation, Meng Zhou retracted his "gaze" and refocused on himself.

In an instant, "balls of light" appeared in his heart.

These "balls of light" were different in brightness, size, and distance.

Each of these "balls of light" represented an existence that had some kind of life connection with him.

For example, those Tai Sui bodies that turned into contracted monsters and lurked in the hands of the Xingxiu Palace;

For example, the Fanlu Xinglian clones that were scattered in the eight wastelands of the outer domain at this moment, and the golden armored spirit insects that were undergoing the tribulation.
