Volume 2: The Demonic World Chapter 142: The Beast
In fact, when Lin Qianxing watched the transformation of the cicada grass last time, some vague inspiration flashed through his mind.
But he didn't catch it at that time. It was not until this time that Lin Qianxing suddenly caught that hint of inspiration.
When faced with cold and disasters, cicada grass will temporarily pupate.
Let yourself go from birth to death, falling into a state that is neither alive nor dead.
This is very similar to the changes in Lei Sheng that Lin Qianxing had seen in the game.
Zombies are said to be living creatures, but they are actually dead. However, to say that they are dead things is not clear, because they are indeed alive in some way.
Death is no longer absolute.
The boundary between life and death becomes blurred here.
Gradually, Lin Qianxing's aura became restrained, his heartbeat slowed down, the circulation of blood in his body also slowed down, and his breathing became almost imperceptible.
After about a quarter of an hour, the energy fluctuations on Lin Qianxing's body almost completely disappeared. If someone else used the Qi-scanning technique to watch him, if they didn't pay attention, they might just think that Lin Qianxing was a piece of stone, a dead object.
“Meow~!”
Mei'er looked at the scene in surprise and doubt, not knowing what had happened to Lin Qianxing.
After spending about a quarter of an hour in this state of being neither alive nor dead, the surrounding vital energy of heaven and earth quickly poured into Lin Qianxing's body and was absorbed and refined by him. Soon, his heartbeat gradually resumed and his blood began to circulate again.
Lin Qianxing moved his body around and didn't feel any discomfort at all. In fact, after all this, the blood circulation in his body became smoother.
Now, as long as he wanted, he could enter that state of suspended animation and make the breath on his body become almost non-existent.
"What is this? Have I learned a new breath-retaining technique?" Lin Qianxing touched his chin, then immediately denied his guess and said, "No, this is not a simple breath-retaining technique."
Yes, this is the prototype of a magical power that he comprehended from the way of life and death.
It’s just that it’s not perfect yet, so the external manifestation is like holding back one’s breath.
However, in reality, its essence should be the prototype of magical powers involving the rules of life and death. After Lin Qianxing enters that state of restraining his breath, the activity in his body will be restrained, and his dying side will be revealed. When he regains his activity and goes through a cycle from death to life, his body will undergo some transformation from the inside out, making it tougher and stronger.
Just like breathing, with each inhalation and exhalation, we experience a cycle of life and death, and the harmony of yin and yang.
Like the cicada grass, every time it pupates, the branches that grow again will be stronger and tougher.
"[Martial Arts Prodigy] is really amazing. It helped me to comprehend a profound martial art so quickly." Lin Qianxing sighed, and then said, "What name should I give it?"
While thinking, Lin Qianxing looked at the cicada grass in front of him again, and then he had an idea.
"Let's call it "Xuan Chan Jue"."
Lin Qianxing was still very satisfied with this name.
He didn't know whether the "Xuan Chan Jue" he created was of high or low grade, but it was definitely stronger than "Nine Slashes of Fury", so it should have reached the Xuan level.
As for the Dao level?
Lin Qianxing was not sure, as he had only been exposed to Xuan-level martial arts in this world so far.
As for the "Taotie Devouring the Sky"?
Lin Qianxing had no idea what grade this thing was. After all, to be honest, this thing should be a magical power atlas that recorded magical powers.
So Lin Qianxing couldn't judge either.
After a comprehensive evaluation, Lin Qianxing felt that "Xuan Chan Jue" was at least at the middle level of the Xuan grade.
Moreover, it is still in its infancy, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Even after Lin Qianxing obtained enough knowledge and understanding, it was enough to evolve into real supernatural powers.
Lin Qianxing could even foresee what the state of "Xuan Chan Jue" would be at that time.
One exhalation is death, one inhalation is life.
Life and death rotate within his body, causing him to transform time and time again, making him stronger and stronger in the constant cycle of life and death.
Of course, this is Lin Qianxing’s own idea, but he doesn’t know exactly what it will look like at that time.
After all, he only understood the basics of the rules of life and death. If it weren't for chance and the help of the [Martial Arts Genius] plug-in, it would be unlikely for him to create such a mysterious martial art.
Time passed, and soon it was dawn in the new martial arts created by Lin Qianxing's research institute.
The heavy snow had stopped at this time, but Lin Qianxing's yard was covered with almost one meter thick snow.
Seeing such thick snow, Lin Qianxing had a bad feeling in his heart.
He mobilized the true energy in his body, quickly cleared the snow in the yard, and then headed towards the city.
Then he found that the entire Yushan City was covered with heavy snow.
Some people can be seen on the street, but they are not in good condition.
Lin Qianxing was very curious why the weather could change so drastically.
Not to mention that Yushan City has always had spring-like weather all year round. Besides, it is already early February, how could it suddenly snow so heavily?
This reminded Lin Qianxing of the heavy rain that suddenly occurred in Cangzhou before.
At that time, a dormant black dragon sensed the revival of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so it accumulated water energy and woke up from its dormancy.
That’s why it brings heavy rain and floods.
Speaking of which, the fact that the true dragon is dormant is somewhat similar to the situation of cicada grass.
If the environment is no longer suitable, they will choose to hibernate or pupate to reduce consumption.
When the environment becomes suitable again, it will accumulate water and absorb energy to grow again.
This time the heavy snow came quickly and was extremely strange. Even someone with Lin Qianxing's level of cultivation could feel the slight chill, and he couldn't help but think about it.
After thinking for a while, Lin Qianxing finally went to Zhou Mansion.
In addition to wanting to see how Zhou Quanhai was doing, he also wanted to ask him what he thought about the matter.
In the villa of Zhou Mansion, Zhou Quanhai and his maid Hong'er, wearing thick cloaks, sat around the charcoal stove eating roasted meat and vegetables, with hot wine beside them.
After Lin Qianxing arrived, he did not consider himself an outsider at all. He added a cup to himself, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it, then took some food for Mei'er and himself and placed it on the charcoal stove.
"Brother Zhou, the snow is coming in a strange way!" Lin Qianxing said.
"You don't need to test me. This incident must have been caused by a strange beast." Zhou Quanhai said.
"Brother Zhou, do you know what kind of strange beast it is?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"You've read the Record of Exotic Beasts before, right?" Zhou Quanhai looked at Lin Qianxing and asked, "What kind of exotic beast can control the wind and snow?"
"Xue Yi? Han Weasel? Li Beast?" Lin Qianxing asked casually.
When Lin Qianxing mentioned the Li beast, Zhou Quanhai nodded slightly and said, "It should be the Li beast."
"Hiss! It's actually a Li beast!!" Lin Qianxing took a breath of cold air.
The Records of Strange Beasts records many rare and exotic beasts that existed thousands of years ago.
At that time, there were countless monsters and strange beasts in the world. It was nothing like it is now. There were only two or three monsters, big and small, and the realm of supernatural powers only existed in legends.
The Li beast is a strange beast recorded in the book that was born with the ability to bring wind and snow.
It looks like a human, its body is as tall as a mountain, and it has a single horn like an ice crystal on its forehead.
Whenever you go out, there will be blizzards. Even a simple breath can produce a frost or snow of moderate size.
"Don't Li beasts only live in cold places?" Lin Qianxing asked doubtfully.
"Who can guarantee that this place ?" Zhou Quanhai replied.
"Yes, times have changed, and it is normal for the environment to change." Lin Qianxing nodded.
"Don't worry, the snow has stopped. Obviously, it just woke up and left. Judging from the direction of the wind and snow, it was heading towards Ningzhou. I'm afraid it plans to settle down near Qi Hai." Zhou Quanhai said.
"How many people must have died along the way due to the frost and snow it brought!" Lin Qianxing said with some emotion.
"Survival of the fittest." Zhou Quanhai said with deep eyes, hinting: "If you don't have enough strength, sometimes, even just a look or a breath from some powerful being is enough to make you walk between life and death."
When Lin Qianxing heard this, his heart sank.
My cultivation level is still too weak in this world.
Now that the spiritual energy in the world has revived, who knows what kind of monsters and demons will appear next. If he is not strong enough, the aftermath of the battle between the powerful men would be enough to kill him on the spot.
Lin Qianxing didn't stay with Zhou Quanhai for long. After eating a little and drinking a few sips of his wine, he returned to his residence.
The wind and snow that night made him feel a little urgent, and he decided to reduce some entertainment activities and spend more time on cultivation.
Just like that, soon, it was early morning.
Lin Qianxing entered the game world again.
[Tip: The game world is loading, and you are about to enter the game...]
…
This time, Lin Qianxing chose the [Divine Spell Master] plug-in according to his previous plan.
Then he practiced hard all the way, and when he was 25 years old, he went to the underworld to find Yan Tai, the King of Hell, and discussed with him how to construct the magic spell to summon the gods of the underworld.
The plan was implemented smoothly. Lin Qianxing traveled to Jiaoshan and easily brought the twelve remaining pages of the [Book of Life and Death] back to the underworld, and then they were thrown into [Reincarnation].
Immediately, Lin Qianxing began to recite the spell to summon the god Mara.
"Monk Lin Qianxing, respectfully invites the Ghost Emperor Mo Luo to come!"
Da~!
As the voice fell, a ripple appeared on the [Reincarnation] light ball.
Invisibly, a chain of cause and effect connects Lin Qianxing and Mara.
Immediately, Moro's soul was forcibly dragged into Lin Qianxing's body.
Yan Tai asked Lin Qianxing how he planned to deal with Mo Luo. Then Lin Qianxing hesitated for a moment and said, "Mo Luo has a high level of cultivation and it is not easy to kill him completely. I will use this body to seal him until my cultivation level improves and I am completely confident that I can kill him."
