Chapter 118 Nearly Exited the Body
With a thunderous roar, the Ruyi Celestial Venerable subdued the lowly.
The thunderous roar fell into the Blood River, instantly shattering countless demons and sweeping away the turbulent waters, leaving them calm and still. Countless surviving demons trembled beneath the river, their reflections shimmering in the water.
As soon as the Heavenly Venerable Ruyi subdued the Blood River Demon, a force surged from the void, rapidly strengthening its divine soul, causing its Niwan Palace to expand outwards several times.
The central deity statue became clearer, and even fine palm lines appeared in its palm, a sign of the strengthening of its divine soul.
Only then is the process of "dotting the dragon's eyes" truly complete.
Yang Silang was very satisfied; just as he had expected, he succeeded on his first try.
He was preparing to slowly conclude his practice, having already gained enough for the day, and should take a break. His eyes were slightly open, half-closed.
"what?"
Out of the corner of his eye, he was surprised to find that the calming incense in the incense burner had almost burned out, with only the tip of the incense stick glowing red. Looking at the hourglass next to him, he realized that only a short time had passed.
It seems that applying the dragon's eye ointment tonight will require a great deal of energy.
Just then, Yang Silang suddenly felt a dizzying sensation.
The perspective suddenly shifted, and all that could be seen was emptiness. Before me was a thin membrane supporting a circular space, outside which were mountains of flesh and rivers of blood, as well as white bone caps, as if the sky were covering everything.
With his head down, hands and feet raised, his body glowed. Yang Silang was shocked to find that he had been passively returned to a divine soul state!
Not only that, he felt as light as a swallow, as if he were about to fly—no, he really did fly!
The soul's body was already dangling in the air, and its vision was constantly rising because the soul was still ascending. In the blink of an eye, it passed through the Niwan Palace, crossed mountains of blood and rivers of flesh, and flew out from the sky of white bones...
Yang Silang was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. He knew that his soul had left his body in the blink of an eye, passed through his brain tissue, and pierced through his skull!
This should be the next stage of the Daoist realm, the Out-of-Body stage!
However, Granny Tianjing had not yet taught him the relevant techniques for leaving his body, meaning he entered this realm without any prior knowledge. Who knows what risks there might be?
My grandmother once said that the soul is extremely fragile and cannot leave the body, otherwise the soul will die, and even if the body remains, it will be like a living dead person, which is called soul loss syndrome.
Even if one reaches the next realm, the Wandering Soul Realm, one's soul may suddenly die from wind, rain, roosters crowing, or dogs barking; it's as if a gust of wind could kill one.
Who knew he was about to leave his body!
Isn't it said that one needs a very strong spirit to transcend the physical body?
Yang Silang was unaware of this, because he was using supernatural powers to cultivate, and almost all of the calming incense was absorbed by him.
Ordinary people are several times less capable than him, so he cultivated a very powerful divine soul. With today's final kick to the Dragon Eye, he is already able to leave his body.
Grandma Tianjing thought that for ordinary people cultivating the Dao, even after the Dragon Eye Dotting ceremony, their souls were still far from being able to leave their bodies.
Someone who doesn't know how strong they are.
One doesn't know how strong the other is.
A series of unforeseen events have led to today's dangerous situation.
boo...
A soft sound seemed to come from the void.
Yang Silang's divine soul's perspective changed again, and he leaped out of his body and into the air!
"what……"
The soul body let out a miserable scream, feeling an icy chill that froze its body.
Even though the room was at room temperature, the spirit's body leaped into the air as if it were emerging from a warm room in the dead of winter, then stripping off its clothes and jumping naked into a river.
He knew that this was because his cultivation level was still shallow.
A clicking sound.
Yang Silang looked down and saw that the body composed of blue light had been frozen so that specks of starlight were peeled off the body and scattered in the air.
Look down again.
His own body was as large as a mountain, and he sat motionless in a five-point-up-the-sky posture, unable to help at all. The other furnishings in the room appeared correspondingly larger.
Yang Silang felt no joy at the novel perspective, only fear. In just a few breaths, one-sixth of the light on his divine soul body had dissipated.
"Ruyi Tianzun!"
His mind raced, and he immediately shouted.
His divine soul transformed into the form of a Heavenly Venerable Demon Suppressor; however, his armor fell off, and the River of Blood froze and cracked.
It does work, but it only slows down the disintegration of the soul and body slightly and does not solve the root cause.
Yang Silang anxiously looked around from the perspective of his divine soul.
"Soul-stabilizing incense!"
"Could we inhale some incense smoke to stabilize our soul and then try to return to our body?"
He hurriedly looked at the incense burner.
However, at this moment, the calming incense crackled and the remaining incense sticks went out completely, and a wisp of smoke rose into the air!
Yang Silang hurriedly inhaled forcefully, temporarily reinforcing his disintegrating soul body.
We can't rely on calming incense anymore!
What other options are there?
He was frantic and hadn't come up with a solution when he realized with horror that his soul was not only disintegrating, but was also rising into the air.
Looking up, Yang Silang was filled with horror.
Above that is the roof.
If the soul can pass through the skull, it can naturally pass through the house. In this closed room, it feels like being in an ice cellar. If one were to leave the room, one would probably freeze to pieces instantly.
Even if one manages to hold on by sheer luck, a mere breeze falling on the soul would be no less devastating than a howling gale, tearing it to pieces!
"What a miserable life!"
Yang Silang's soul closed its eyes in agony, never imagining that his cultivation would end in his own demise!
If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered with this path!
I was supposed to live to be nearly two hundred years old, and now I'm gone!
I'm so unwilling to accept this!
Perhaps because of the injustice in his heart, countless thoughts of self-salvation collided fiercely within his soul, dissipated, and then rolled back and forth, only to be rejected one by one.
"No... there's another way..."
"Fine, might as well try anything!"
"Whether we live or die, let's give it our all!"
-
The following evening.
Outside the Wujing Pagoda.
Confucius and Mencius were idly chatting while guarding the gate.
"Old Kong, the war in the neighboring province is critical. I heard the government wants to transfer Grand Martial Arts Masters to reinforce the province's forces. They'll only get a fourth-rank official position as a Commander. Are you going?"
"Old Meng, you know my skill level, brother. I'm just a shoddy Grand Martial Master. Below the Steel Dirt level, I'm invincible. Among my peers, I'm the worst. Go ahead and try!"
"No, no, I can't go. I have a wife, children, and elderly parents to take care of at home. My son is my own flesh and blood!"
"Huh... what do you mean by that? It's like my child was adopted?"
The two were arguing when they saw a hunched-over man carrying a food box slowly approaching.
The two immediately fell silent and adopted a serious posture.
"Halt! You're in trouble!"
"The Martial Arts Pagoda is not open to the public. Please detour immediately..."
The person opposite raised their face, pale, and managed a weak smile.
"It's me, gentlemen!"
This was a familiar face; it was Yang Silang. However, his face was pale and bloodless, and his eyes were lifeless, as if he had been squeezed dry and then squeezed again and again.
Confucius and Mencius were greatly surprised.
"Brother Yang, what happened to you?"
Yang Silang gave a bitter smile.
"There was a slight mishap during my practice, but it's nothing serious, it'll be fine after tonight."
The two men told him to take care of his health and not to push himself too hard, saying that he was already in such a state that it was better not to go into the Wujing Tower.
Yang Silang insisted on going in. The two tried to dissuade him, but to no avail, so they had no choice but to let him go. They just told him to look at the tower less today and to come in and out quickly.
Inside the tower.
Yang Silang appeared in the room, bent down to put down the food box, and opened the lid.
The aroma of wine and meat wafted out, immediately attracting Granny Tianjing from the round stone to appear.
"Ha, kid, you're late today..."
Grandma Tianjing was laughing happily when her voice suddenly stopped as she saw Yang Silang's haggard appearance.
"Eek..." Grandma Tianjing exclaimed in surprise, "Goodness..."
"Child, what happened to you, you look like this?"
"Did they encounter a 'sexually exploitative' woman, and not just one, but a dozen?"
"Otherwise, how could a master martial artist with the skill to 'dot the dragon's eye' be so weak and pathetic?"
"No, no, you didn't mess up the dragon eye application, did you, kid?"
"I told you, don't be stubborn!"
Yang Silang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
"Grandma, it's not that there's a problem with the dragon eye application."
"I've successfully opened my eyes; I've passed the hurdle of the Dragon Eye Dotting!"
"My soul left my body; I nearly died!"
Grandma Tianjing was so frightened that her body swayed and disintegrated within the stone, only to re-form after a moment.
"What?" She pressed her face against the stone, as if that would allow her to break through the stone's surface. "Were you out of your body last night?"
"Wait a minute, without the corpse-guarding lamp technique, you should already be dead!"
"How did you survive?"
Yang Silang let out a long breath, his thoughts returning to that moment.
He truly believed he was doomed, rejecting one method of self-preservation after another, until finally, a brilliant idea struck him: supernatural powers.
Using the aura of dispelling misfortune is inappropriate; divine intervention might allow you to live, but it might also send you flying out of the house faster and die even faster!
Rejuvenation is not returning home; it's useless.
He had no choice but to use the Instant Flash technique.
I used this supernatural power to escape with my physical body before. Whether it can be used with my soul or not, or whether it will allow me to escape outside, is completely unknown!
But he had no other choice.
Yang Silang used the Instant Flash Divine Power, his mind was focused on the Niwan Palace, which was only a few steps away from his body.
Swish!
next moment!
His soul and body had already flashed back into the Niwan Palace.
After this ordeal, my spirit and physical body are less than half of what they used to be, so I don't have to worry about my spirit leaving my body anymore.
But by sheer coincidence, he had already used up a considerable number of supernatural abilities to internally examine the Five Elements Force technique and adjust the amount of true energy, just enough to use the Instant Flash supernatural ability to save his life.
But throughout the day, one could only physically endure the damage to one's soul.
He felt a splitting headache, dizziness, nausea, and vomiting; the skills of the Steel-Dirty Martial Arts Master were completely useless against him.
Wang Daniu thought he had been poisoned and almost called a doctor!
Yang Silang could only appease the other party by saying that it was a side effect of practicing a martial art, and that was how he managed to get away with it.
Fortunately, he possessed the Wood Inscription, which allowed his soul to recover relatively quickly. By evening, he was finally able to get out of bed. He had Da Niu buy him wine and meat, and immediately rushed towards the Martial Scripture Pagoda.
Even if his soul is damaged, tormenting him for a day is nothing.
The problem is that if he uses the Rejuvenation Divine Power in conjunction with the Mind-Stabilizing Incense, his soul strength will quickly return to the level it was when he left his body last time.
If the issue of how to safely exit his body is not resolved, he will be unable to eat or sleep properly, and will be restless and uneasy.
"Grandma... I don't know how I survived..." Yang Silang lied to Grandma Tianjing, his face pale. "I just felt a gust of wind, and the next moment the world spun around and I was back in the Niwan Palace..."
