Do not die

Meng Zhou violated the Taoist oath he had just made in the most direct way. Correspondingly, the backlash of breaking the promise came very simply and directly.

Those invisible threads quickly tightened and shrank.

Each invisible thread is like an extremely sharp long blade. The jelly-like soul pool in front of them is continuously cut into by these long blades, as if the complete soul is cut into scattered pieces. .

At the same time as these invisible threads were exerting their power, the originally peaceful soul pool suddenly became active.

Waves suddenly rose, and undercurrents traveled in the soul pool.

Since the Five Realms showed signs of the coming of the Constellation Palace, they have never been released to the outside world. After each assimilation, they have been silent in the soul pool. Over time, the reserves of the natal living poison, which has already been very terrifying, have become active as the soul pool becomes active. They "wake up" one after another.

Driven by the undercurrents, these natal poisons quickly pounced on the invisible threads that had just been "stretched" into the soul pool, trying to penetrate deeper into the invisible threads that completely disintegrated the soul pool.

Soon, the invisible thread was overwhelmed by the dense natal poison.

Its direct contact with the soul pool is also cut off by these natal living poisons.

It's like having a layer of insulation covering the wires.

The process of change is like some kind of rust and oxidation occurring in the originally smooth and invisible silk threads, which first show speckled traces.

As the natal living poison is enriched more and more, the color changes become more complete.

The "invisible" line becomes a "visible" line at a visible speed.

At the same time, these natal living poisons have brought their poisonous and corrosive properties to the extreme from the moment they wrapped the invisible threads.

If the invisible thread is regarded as an extremely sharp long sword, then this "long sword" was first forcibly put on a sheath - well, a scabbard.

At the same time, the inner wall of the "scabbard" will continuously secrete harmful substances.

Under such a response, the invisible thread that had just been "stretched" into the soul pool could not go any further, and was in a stalemate with the endless stream of natal living poisons that drowned it like moths flying into the flame.

In terms of texture alone, the difference between a piece of soft tofu dregs and a piece of tight steel wire is like the difference between a piece of soft tofu in front of this invisible thread.

But the advantage of the natal living poison is that it has a huge reserve and an endless supply. The natal living poison that has long been assimilated by the soul pond is a "home battle". It does not need to be "bloody" or "bloodied" in front of the invisible thread. Shattered to pieces."

Whenever there is a vital poison that shows signs of weakness in the face-to-face confrontation with the invisible thread, it will immediately withdraw, and the new force that has been waiting behind will take over and stand on the front line facing the invisible thread.

The brilliance emitted by the green lotus seeds spread throughout the soul pool. Bathed in this brilliance, the entire soul pool became more full of vitality.

The invisible thread "stretched" into the soul pool, and the sharp pain that should have penetrated into the soul only fleetingly disappeared, like an illusion.

The natal living poisons that were rotated from the front line also returned to their most intact and powerful state at an extremely fast speed and participated in the new rotation.

All in all, Meng Zhou took over the backlash of the Daoxin Oath.

The two sides basically fought evenly and evenly.

Of course, this is also the result of Meng Zhou's careful selection.

If the person who chooses to swear an oath from the Dao Heart is a monk at the level of the ancestor of the Five Sects, the content of the oath is no longer irrelevant, and it will not be so easy for him to deal with it.

This stalemate did not last long, as a series of crackling sounds like firecrackers resounded throughout the sea of ​​​​consciousness.

The source of the crisp sound is none other than those invisible threads.

The reason for the crisp sound is that these threads started to break from a certain place, until they spread to all areas around the soul pool, and there was no longer a complete and intact thread.

Every time it breaks, there is a crisp sound that echoes through the sea of ​​consciousness.

The breakage of these invisible threads is not "corroded" by the poison of life.

The biggest function of these natal living poisons is actually to isolate them from the sea of ​​consciousness and prevent these "long blades" made of invisible silk threads from cutting deeper into the soul pool.

The break of the invisible thread comes entirely from itself.

Because from the moment Meng Zhou officially broke the promise, the invisible threads wrapped around the soul pool began to tighten and shrink.

It's like a built-in rule, and "default" is the trigger.

But the actual situation is that Meng Zhou relied on a large amount of natal poison and a complete system including blue lotus seeds to stop the invisible thread from shrinking and deepening, and had to stop at the edge of the soul pool.

On the other hand, once a rule is triggered, it doesn't stop.

The invisible thread is still executing the rule of "tightening and shrinking".

Then they finally tore themselves apart.

But this was the time when Meng Zhou's soul was most seriously injured during the entire process.

At the moment when the invisible thread breaks itself, at every break, there is a violent impact scattered into the soul pool.

Although most of the impact will be cleverly resolved by the characteristics of the soul pool itself, at most it will only make the undercurrent become more fierce and the ripples become higher.

But when such fractures occur too much and too frequently, exceeding the limit that the soul pool can resolve within a unit time, the impact becomes real damage.

At this time, Meng Zhou naturally had no intention of paying attention to Bai Zhi, who was so close at hand, answering her doubts.

At this moment, Meng Zhou, who cherished his life, did not even immediately treat the soul. All his attention was focused outside the sea of ​​consciousness.

As early as when he asked Bai Zhi to sit in front of him and had the thought of breach of contract in his heart, "dark clouds" seemed to have arisen again outside the originally empty sea of ​​​​consciousness, and there were slender and vague traces meandering around the sea of ​​​​consciousness. .

At this moment, as all the invisible threads wrapped around the soul pool were broken, and the constraints of the Dao Heart Oath were forcibly broken by him in the most direct way, the winding and swimming outside the sea of ​​consciousness could only be blurred. The visible traces suddenly became extremely clear.

It was a winding rope.

It is not a real thing, but a celestial phenomenon like thunder, lightning, rain and snow.

However, this celestial phenomenon is so strange and special that it can even make people who see it for the first time feel a huge sense of disobedience.

It is difficult to connect such man-made objects with "celestial phenomena".

However, Meng Zhou didn't have the time to think about whether it was a violation of harmony or not. All his attention was focused on the traces themselves.

The whole process is very short.

When its traces completely disappeared and there was nothing outside the sea of ​​​​consciousness, Meng Zhou still did not do anything else. It was not until all the traces of its sudden appearance were burned into his heart that he used his means to deal with it. The seriously injured soul was treated.

After doing all this, Meng Zhou slowly opened his eyes and woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, what he saw was a pair of big black and white eyes very close to him, staring at his beautiful face without blinking.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Meng Zhou asked a little funny.

This person is naturally Bai Zhi. From the moment Meng Zhou closed his eyes until now, she has almost maintained her current posture without much change.

Bai Zhi had a look of disbelief on her face and stared: "What else are you asking me for? Shouldn't I be the one asking you this?"

Saying that, Bai Zhi paused and then continued:

"I just want to hear what else you have to say next, what big secret are you going to tell!"

Meng Zhou spread his hands and said, "There is nothing more to say. I have already told you all the secrets I want to tell you."

"That guy named Qu Tong killed a monk from the Alchemy Sect... Is that what happened?"

"Well, that's it."

"..."

Bai Zhi stared at Meng Zhou and opened her mouth several times, as if she wanted to continue saying something.

But in the end, she just nodded and said: "Okay, this is really a big secret... So, do you have any other big secrets you want to share with me?"

Meng Zhou shook his head first, and then nodded slightly.

"No need for now, but there will be many more opportunities like this in the future."

"...Is it still a 'big secret' like this?" Bai Zhi asked.

When she said this, she spelled out the words "big secret" very clearly.

"Well, almost." Meng Zhou said.

"...Can I not listen?"

From Bai Zhi's point of view, this is purely for entertainment.

It's not even a joke, because it's really not funny at all.

Meng Zhou said sincerely: "I still hope you can cooperate. Just think of it as helping me. This won't delay you anything."

To complete the breach of contract, such a person is always needed.

After much thought, there is no one more suitable than Angelica dahurica.

Facing the sincere face of Meng Zhou, Bai Zhi really couldn't say no. Moreover, to be honest, apart from hearing useless information, it did not hinder her in any way.

If there is any real conflict, it can go in through one ear and out through the other.

Bai Zhi asked curiously: "Do you have some cultivation needs?"

"Well, yes." Meng Zhou nodded.

"It's just baffling."

Bai Zhi muttered in her heart, she really couldn't imagine what kind of cultivation this could have to do with.

However, looking at it from another angle, does this mean that although the two of them are both in the late stage of pill formation, the man in front of him thinks and sees the world, and there is a fundamental gap between him and himself.

"Okay, I will cooperate with you."

…

Some time later, Meng Zhou meditated in the quiet room arranged by Zhu Qian for Bai Zhi.

Try to use your own understanding of the knotting method to reproduce the traces of the long rope's winding movement.

Even with Meng San's ultimate level of knotting skills, progress was very slow.

But Meng Zhou was not at all impatient about this. There was nothing to be afraid of if it was slow. As long as there was progress, he would be very satisfied.

At the same time, Meng Zhou watched a "good show" from the sidelines.

At the beginning, the master and disciple Bai Zhi and Zhu Qian were extremely affectionate. Looking at their daily interactions, they were nothing more than sisters and biological mothers.

But as the two of them spent more and more time together, the feeling of being glued together quickly disappeared.

After a month of staying on the same mountaintop and in the same cave, the two people were able to completely ignore each other's situation even if they met across from each other and passed each other.

The second month was not over yet. Bai Zhi, who had just choked each other for a while, entered the quiet room angrily and said to Meng Zhou, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone couch, "Okay, let's go."

"You're leaving now, why don't you play a little longer?"

Bai Zhi rolled her eyes and said, "Why are you playing? You think I'm an eyesore."

Meng Zhou said with a smile: "Anyone who is picked on every day will not feel comfortable...Zhu Qian can't bear to choke you with words until now. She has a very good temper."

Bai Zhi glared and said, "Whose side are you on? I am her teacher. Isn't it right to say something to her when I see something inappropriate?"

Meng Zhou quickly raised his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing."

Meng Zhou wisely chose to surrender and not continue this topic.

Another half month passed, after Bai Zhi said goodbye to Zhu Qian, Meng Zhou took Bai Zhi back to the depths of the Hidden Mist Sea.

Before leaving, Meng Zhou went to Pianfang City to make a suitable Taoist oath.

After choosing a new place in the Hidden Mist Sea and settling down again.

Meng Zhou decisively breached the contract again.

The backlash came immediately.

He held on until the invisible thread broke again, and a strange "celestial phenomenon" briefly appeared outside the sea of ​​consciousness.

The traces of the long rope's "celestial phenomenon" meandering were once again deeply burned into Meng Zhou's heart.

Comparing the two harvests, Meng Zhou found many similarities and many differences.

These are all gains.

Since returning, Bai Zhi has become calm and arranged her practice in an orderly manner.

Every day spent is full and fulfilling.

In addition to routine retreat practice, Meng Zhou's energy and time were basically spent on understanding, figuring out, and trying out that special "celestial phenomenon."

"This can be regarded as learning from the world, right?" Meng Zhou thought in his heart.

At the end of the year, Meng Zhou went out briefly again.

When he returned, the soul pool was once again surrounded by invisible threads.

After the breach of contract, the third trace of this special "celestial phenomenon" was imprinted in Meng Zhou's heart.

…

In the blink of an eye, we enter the new year.

[Cultivation progress +150, nine levels of pill formation 615/10,000;

The experience of Hanhai Mingyue True Picture is +10,800, always 262,400/320,000. 】

After finishing his first retreat after the New Year, Meng Zhou once again devoted himself wholeheartedly to understanding this special "celestial phenomenon."

Compared with other professions, one of the biggest difficulties in the profession of knot master is that there is no inheritance on paper or preserved in jade slips.

Along the way, most of the way was done by Meng Zhou himself.

Now, standing at the height of the third level limit, I am once again faced with the trouble of "no way to go, not knowing where to go."

However, Meng Zhou, who has rich experience in this area, was not discouraged.

"At worst, I'll make my own way."

There is a first time for everything.

The first practitioner, the first knot master...

Compared to them, the difficulties he faced were already much smaller.

What's more, he even cheated.

He doesn't need to directly draw the truth from all phenomena in the world like the first Knot Master. He has a more obvious and direct reference.

March of this year.

Meng Zhou successfully reproduced the first long rope "celestial phenomenon" using knotting techniques. (End of chapter)
