Volume 3: A drop in the ocean Chapter 19: Youth is a waste if you don't act frivolously

Mo Yi coughed twice and cleared his throat. Although he looked teasing, he spoke in a pious tone: "I don't know how I can show my sincerity so that you will tell me something." Mo Yi knew that the other party was just trying to save face. Maybe it was because he had been sealed for too long. Even an ancient blue dragon would have a grudge in his heart. Mo Yi decided to give the other party a way out.
"Well, let's put it this way. If you have the courage to let your spiritual consciousness in, I will tell you!" The legendary Canglong was now completely arrogant. He was probably sure that Mo Yi was curious about him, so the words he said were so unreasonable that they made people speechless.
Mo Yi was indeed speechless. He did not expect the other party to make such a shocking request. Release the spiritual consciousness? Did it think that was bullshit? Just release it when it was told? This kind of thing that only highly skilled sorcerers (such as Sha Mo Wizard) could do, how could ordinary people learn it at will?
The so-called spiritual consciousness is actually the same as the primordial spirit, both of which are a form of externalization of the so-called soul or spiritual body of human beings. However, the primordial spirit is tangible, can be condensed into a physical entity, and can be perceived by outsiders, and its shape is similar to the physical body. The one that appeared in the dream of Gong Lili before was Yao Ji's primordial spirit. However, spiritual consciousness is intangible and has no entity. Except for the person who releases the spiritual consciousness, it is not easy for outsiders to see it with the naked eye. Moreover, it drifts around when moving, and the range of perception is relatively limited. However, even so, releasing spiritual consciousness is a very dangerous thing.
Once the spiritual consciousness left, the body was like an empty shell, without any ability to protect itself. Under such circumstances at this time and place, let alone a monster suddenly appearing, even if an ordinary human child appeared, Mo Yi would be powerless to resist.
Besides, since the blue dragon is sealed inside, it will definitely not be able to find a way to escape. And if it lets itself release its spiritual consciousness in, isn't it clearly looking for a companion?
Therefore, even if Mo Yi knew how to leave his body, he would never do such a ridiculous thing. That Canglong might have a broken brain, but Mo Yi doesn't!
"What's the matter? I thought you were so arrogant and powerful? You don't have the courage?" It seemed that after waiting for Mo Yi's response for a long time, the ancient blue dragon became impatient. At this time, the irony contained in the powerful voice was very strong.
How could Mo Yi not hear the irony in this? He didn't hesitate to hide it, and simply admitted: "First of all, I really don't know how to release my spiritual consciousness. Secondly, even if I can, I'm not crazy. Why should I come in and keep you company for no reason?"
"You are a straightforward guy! I quite like this. This technique of letting your spiritual consciousness leave your body is just a little trick. If you want to learn it, I will teach you. I might as well tell you that this broken thing is only used to seal me. It has no effect on the spiritual consciousness of you bastards. If you learn how to release your spiritual consciousness, you will be able to come and go freely. But I don't know if you have the courage to do it!"
Mo Yi was such a smart man, how could he not hear the provocation in Canglong's tone? However, after hearing what Canglong said, Mo Yi really wanted to meet Canglong. It was not because he was provoked by him, but what really interested Mo Yi was the so-called trick of spiritual consciousness leaving the body mentioned by Canglong.
As I said before, it was something that only highly skilled sorcerers could do. Looking at the Void World, it seemed that only a few Shamo sorcerers were proficient in this art, which was considered a unique skill. Now that the ancient blue dragon had spoken of it so casually, as if it was easy to do, Mo Yi was actually a little interested. The Nayu people's natural martial arts fanatic personality was fully revealed at this time. Mo Yi had always had a strong interest in areas that he did not know.
Anyway, Mo Yi felt that he was getting a little bored with the life he had lived for the past five hundred years, so it might be interesting to find something exciting to do.
Mo Yi raised his eyebrows and weighed the dark green long sword in his hand. For no reason, he felt a little more impulsive as a young man. He thought that even if he went further in this ghost place, the future would be uncertain. Why not just go in and explore it? What's the harm?
In fact, Mo Yi’s greatest confidence comes from the fact that he knows he is immortal. So, how bad can the worst outcome be?
Unfortunately, this was something that the Canglong did not understand, so even after a long time, it was still deeply impressed by the courage in the young man's heart!
According to the method taught by Canglong, Mo Yi imitated the movements effortlessly. He made a hand gesture and muttered something. Within half a cup of tea, he felt his whole body lighten and a bit of spiritual consciousness floated out of his body. At this moment, Mo Yi felt as light as a swallow, and the whole person was like a wisp of light smoke. He looked back and saw, as expected, his body was sitting there quietly with his eyes closed. Mo Yi stretched out his transparent hand with interest, trying to touch his body, but the hand went straight through one side of his body and came out from the other side!
At this moment, Mo Yi looked at his own ethereal fingertips and felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart. This so-called ancient blue dragon did have some abilities, so he decided to go in and meet it!
Mo Yi reached out to the mysterious iron plate in his physical body without hesitation. When his fingertips were about to touch it, something miraculous happened again! An ice-blue light burst out from the iron plate, and then Mo Yi's spiritual consciousness was sucked in alive by a powerful suction force...
Then, the scene that appeared before his eyes stunned Mo Yi, and he was extremely shocked for a moment!
Mo Yi had imagined what it would be like when the ancient blue dragon was sealed inside. It was probably a giant dragon hundreds of feet long trapped in a bloody purgatory, unable to move. Or maybe it was a blue dragon with a ferocious face tied to the Qitian Sword Pillar, exhausted. Or maybe it was beaten into a miniature palm-sized shape, tied up tightly by a net made of countless sharp dragon-suppressing talismans, groaning weakly. In any case, it should be a more terrifying, exaggerated, or bloody scene...
An old man with grey hair, the same size and appearance as an ordinary human, who looked almost the same as an ordinary human, except for the ice-blue horns on his head and two foot-long beards between his lips. He was sitting cross-legged on a platform surrounded by milky white clouds, holding a green wine gourd and drinking heartily...
If he had not been there with his own eyes, Mo Yi would never have imagined in his entire life that being sealed could be so comfortable.
"You little brat is quite courageous!" The old man glanced at Mo Yi indifferently, seemingly unintentionally, but his voice was as loud as a bell. Mo Yi only felt a roar in his ears at this moment, and his heart was actually shaken by the power contained in the sound wave.
He raised his eyes and found that the cloud platform where the old man was was actually floating in the air. Speaking of being in the air, Mo Yi then noticed that he, or more precisely, his spiritual consciousness was also floating in the air at this time, like a wisp of light smoke. He moved curiously, but found that this spiritual consciousness was so light and flexible that it seemed that he had already floated above the cloud platform with just a thought.
Mo Yi's spiritual consciousness was incorporeal at this time, like light smoke. Mo Yi was not sure whether the other party could see him. However, when he floated close to the other party, the other party's ice-blue eyes easily locked onto his position, and even a mocking smile appeared on his loose and wrinkled face.
As for the other party's identity, is this ordinary old man really the legendary ancient beast, the blue dragon that has the power to create the world? If Mo Yi had a hand at this time, he would definitely pinch himself hard to see if he was dazzled.
As if seeing through Mo Yi's suspicion, the old man raised his eyebrows, his face slightly unhappy: "Foolish human, you have to cultivate for several lifetimes to be able to see the true appearance of my soul, and you dare to doubt my identity without knowing whether to live or die!"
As if to express the anger of the blue dragon, Mo Yi suddenly felt that the platform was shaking up and down and swaying left and right. Even though Mo Yi was just a wisp of smoke at this time, the shaking feeling still made him feel even more uneasy.
If it were someone else, facing the hidden power of this ancient mythical beast, they would have been scared to death and begged for mercy, but who was Mo Yi? In the past, he was an extremely arrogant and domineering person in the virtual world who was not afraid of thunder and lightning. How could he be scared by such a small momentum? Besides, since Mo Yi dared to come in, he must have made some psychological preparations, and naturally he would not be disturbed by such a small disturbance.
He calmed himself down and said calmly, "Since the junior has come as promised, should the senior also keep his promise?"
The blue dragon seemed to be stunned. He didn't expect that this human boy would be so brave and arrogant in front of him! Where did his calm confidence come from? Did he think that he couldn't do anything to him?
What a stupid human! He really didn't take me seriously. Canglong was immediately furious and decided to teach this kid a lesson and let him know what fear is!
"You arrogant brat, you'll be struck by my thunder first, and then I'll tell you!"
Before he finished speaking, as if to scare the ignorant brat in front of him, a white light suddenly burst out from his ice-blue eyes, and turned into two bolts of lightning that rushed straight towards Mo Yi's consciousness!
