Volume 9: Star Cave Chapter 85: Heretics and Pagans
These stone skins are divided into pieces, and there is something like flesh and blood underneath.
If you have to compare, these stone skins are more like fingernails.
It’s just that the other person’s whole body is covered with pieces of stones like this.
There are also some words engraved on it from the stone men themselves, which contain their oath.
However, although this thing still retains some holy energy, the oath has actually become invalid.
Or rather, it was activated at the moment its master died.
On the battlefield, Lu Bai's mind was three-quarters on fighting, three-quarters on collecting intelligence, and the rest of his attention was on self-protection.
These stone men are actually pure cannon fodder.
Their strength is still far from being truly accepted by the Holy Land.
In comparison, the Abyss is not picky about food. As long as it is food that it desires, it will eat it all.
Linji carefully selects the ingredients from the very beginning, and then makes the food by himself, creating strange demons that symbolize a certain idea.
The Sanctuary, however, wants to change the food itself into a qualified form and then absorb the essence from it.
After death, a large number of souls will be absorbed into the holy light in the distance.
If I'm not mistaken, that ball of light should come from some holy spirits and the holy land behind them.
There, although these souls that are attracted there cannot become holy spirits, they can at least become spiritual creatures.
It is a creature with the soul as its main body and some kind of energy as its flesh and blood.
In short, they are the cannon fodder of the Sanctuary.
It is also the food for most of the holy spirits in the sanctuary, and even the sanctuary itself.
The sanctuary is a world of the mind, without fixed spatial boundaries. As long as the Holy Spirit exists, one’s heart can connect with the sanctuary.
At every moment, a large number of souls are being swallowed up and expelled by it.
These stone men seemed to have escaped the fate of sinking into the abyss and becoming demons, but in fact, entering the sanctuary might be worse than becoming demons.
Although demons
The sanctuary seems to be very well-behaved.
That is, a weak mind will always be weak, and there is no chance for it to succeed.
They have lost their souls, and they have not become holy spirits. They do not have the endorsement of the holy land behind them, so this kind of spirit has actually lost the possibility of growth.
He could only become cannon fodder, fighting the enemies of the Holy Land again and again, and then in the battle, he consumed his spiritual power bit by bit, and finally his mind became extremely pure, becoming the fruit in the mouth of the Holy Spirit.
One falling leaf can herald the coming of autumn. Lu Bai's knowledge is now extremely rich. He can judge the workings behind these things from some basic changes.
All in all, the Sanctuary is an extremely dangerous place.
"It is also very likely to be a place related to my origin." Lu Bai frowned. His current origin can be roughly divided into plants, qi and blood, and dragons.
But it is also very likely that Buddha is part of the original. Even if he is not the original, he is the second mover that is very close to the first mover.
After becoming a traveler, the first module I gained was Buddha.
The Kuruo Zhenjing is also a martial arts secret book created by a monk.
More importantly, before becoming a traveler, Lu Bai was already a person who was awake but not yet aware.
If he becomes an enlightened being, he can immediately join the holy land and become a holy spirit therein.
"It is even possible that these real dimensions this time are not coincidences." Lu Bai looked to the outside world.
Criticality, the herd, and the sanctuary, these three are most likely related to the driving force of one's own soul.
"It's possible that Linji has a hostile relationship with the Abyss, so he intervened."
"As for the beasts... Could it be that the origin of dragons or blood and energy came from Him?"
Lu Bai frowned, wondering about the rationality of this matter.
At this moment, he already vaguely understood the rules of passing the Star Cave.
Everything in the Star Cave is actually meant to encourage people to study their own soul driving force.
Whether it is the innate first driving force or other driving forces acquired through contact.
Only when people integrate the two and form their own soul formula can they be considered to have passed through the Star Cave.
Those who have achieved the soul formula can best understand their own path, and the internal friction within their souls has also stopped.
Only this kind of individual can become a day level person in a short period of time.
So even though the Holy Land is dangerous, Lu Bai has to take advantage of the situation.
He looked at the stone skin in his hand, and then the red flame at the tail was placed under the stone skin to pre-treat the skin.
Lu Bai’s problem now is that if he wants to go further with his current demonic body, he must touch the will of the abyss.
This is no longer a matter of trying to get something out of the fire, but rather a matter of delivering a snack to your door.
"Therefore, I must introduce several forces that are incompatible with each other into my current power system so that they can check and balance each other."
The stone skin was gradually melted by the red flames, and then the holy power inside became more intense due to the burning of the abyss power.
The conflict between the two incompatible energies seemed bound to end with one of them being destroyed.
However, at this time, Lu Bai directly grabbed the melted stone skin, and did not care even if his fingers were burned and melted.
Completely unconcerned about the pain, he wrote lines of oaths on his body with molten lava.
It was those words from the Stoneheart Church.
With the help of this, he stored the power of the sanctuary within it and became a non-staff member of the Stone Heart Church.
Then Lu Bai grew another layer of scales, covering up the words of the oath.
Camouflaged scales, a promotion from some demonic side door.
It can isolate the power of the abyss to a certain extent, thereby disguising itself as an ordinary animal that is not from the abyss.
Lu Bai used this point to temporarily allow the power of the holy land and the power of the abyss to coexist in him.
"Then once I am familiar with this power, or introduce the power of another real dimension, I will be able to bypass the will of the abyss and be promoted to a lower level, or even directly become a higher demon."
As Lu Bai was thinking, the horn had already sounded and the war was about to begin again.
But this time the opponent is no longer the army of stone men.
Instead, it was a large group of glowing objects, spirits from the holy land.
However, just as the war was about to begin, a troublemaker arrived.
A large ball of light flew past from a distance.
A familiar smell began to envelop Lu Bai and the spirits. The unique critical state of distorted thinking and abnormal feelings in the five senses caused the demons and spirits to become disturbed to varying degrees.
"Foolish spirit? No, it's a mutant pious spirit!"
Pious spirits and foolish spirits are very similar, and can even be considered the same species of demons.
The foolish spirit is a thought that is tamed by rules, requiring life to live according to the rules and gradually abstracted into a number under the rules.
The same is true for the Qianlings, who are also tamed by rules. The difference is that the Qianlings’ hearts are dominated by religious rules, and their subjective destructive power is stronger.
For ungodly people, it is itself a danger, so the pious spirit is stronger than the foolish spirit.
The pious spirits before us are further variants of pious spirits.
Considering the current situation, these mutant pious spirits mostly regard the spirits in the holy land as incubators, thus possessing some ability to strike directly into the mind and to form groups.
I have to say that the various critical demons are really useful when targeting a certain type of people.
As long as their thoughts slip, the demons will be able to absorb power from it continuously, and even use their abilities to crush them to varying degrees.
To a certain extent, this kind of demon can restrain the sanctuary.
It is estimated that this is a special type of soldier created by Linji to target the Sanctuary.
Large numbers of spirits seemed helpless when facing the pious spirits.
All their power actually comes from their hearts. Only after they make a vow to their hearts do they possess special powers.
They must restrain their minds at all times in order to sense the existence of the holy land.
This behavior of restraining one's own mind can have a restraining effect on other critical demons.
But when faced with foolish spirits and pious spirits who specifically target them, it is a disaster.
Under these kinds of changes, some spirits can't even tell which are holy spirits and which are pious spirits.
Some spirits even regarded the critical point as a holy land, and their bodies began to distort.
"From this perspective, the Holy Land seems to be more in opposition to the Critical Level." Lu Bai looked at the scene thoughtfully.
The conflict between the Abyss and the Critical Point is more about fighting for food; the power of both sides is not actually in an opposing relationship.
On the contrary, it is the sanctuary and the critical point. The sanctuary emphasizes the use of various rules, precepts, vows, etc. to restrain the mind and grasp the constancy of the mind.
Criticality emphasizes the distortion of inspiration, so as to radiate and obtain various alienated and distorted thoughts. If we examine it in detail, it is the pursuit of spiritual change.
The constancy and change of the mind are the sanctuary and the critical point.
These two are the opposing relationships of the underworld and the dirty land, the green forest and the quiet forest.
Looking at the fierce fight between the two sides, the demon lord seemed to pause, as if thinking about what to do?
But this idea was abandoned before it even went full circle, as the desire to kill and fight was rising!
With a shout, the Demon Lord rushed towards the battle groups of both sides.
As for who the enemy is? Of course, both sides!
Influenced by the demon lord, the remaining demons didn't care about anything else and rushed towards each other with desires in their heads, and the battle began.
"Reckless man!" the Holy Spirit and the Pious Spirit cursed at the same time.
Then a three-way melee began!
This is the epitome of the relationship between the three real dimensions.
The Sanctuary and the Criticality fought for the mind, and then the Abyss, a guy full of desires and no brains, rushed out, believing that the mind and thoughts are not important, only desires are important.
The three parties have been fighting for many years, and the dispute continues to this day.
In short, it is the difference between heresy and pagan.
