Longevity starts with learning

After driving the flying boat for only a quarter of an hour, the towering city came into view.

As the intensity of the war escalated, the strictness of patrols and inspections outside the city also increased dramatically.

Outside the city, there were dozens of patrol teams alone.

Each team had a foundation-building leader and ten Qi-training cultivators.

Every time he returned to the city from outside, he had to go through several extremely strict inspections.

And this was just the external inspection.

As far as he knew, within a radius of hundreds of miles from Jingmen City, with Jingmen City as the center, dozens of outpost camps surrounding Jingmen City as the boundaries, and many logistics camps in the rear as the boundaries, a complete information system had been built.

This system was like the Internet of Things in the previous life, the combination of information and entities.

In this area, the Righteous Alliance basically knew everything about the slightest movement.

But in this world of immortal cultivation, everything was a relationship between spear and shield.

Destruction was always easier than construction.

There are endless magic in the world of immortal cultivation, and there are always all kinds of strange and bizarre secret magic tools.

He saw a lot in this weapon hall.

After many inspections, the flying boat landed outside the city gate. He put away the flying boat and went through another inspection at the city gate before he could enter the city.

Chu Mu first went to the weapon hall, handed in the task he had taken this time, and told Xie Zangfeng about his experience on the return journey, and then went straight back to his residence.

As for the attack on the return journey, he didn't care, and Xie Zangfeng didn't care too much either.

After all, when something happens frequently and is extremely common, it will naturally become indifferent and helpless.

And Xie Zangfeng seems to be like this.

Although every weapon hall mission is extremely confidential and generally has guards, anything can happen in the wilderness.

Chu Mu returned to his residence, activated the formation of his residence, and separated the inner part. He then took out the body of the bloodline foundation cultivator he killed this time.

The body had been beheaded, but the blood that should have flowed had been temporarily sealed.

He took out several storage talismans of the cultivator and poured out all the contents. After a selection, his attention was focused on one of the jade slips.

"Golden Feather Red Eagle Art."

His spiritual sense probed into the jade slip, and five ancient characters emerged.

Chu Mu pursed his lips and read it carefully.

The technique was similar to the fragment of the "Ten Thousand Years of Turtle Spirit Art" he had obtained before, both of which were bloodline cultivation techniques.

The only difference was that the Ten Thousand Years of Turtle Spirit Art was the bloodline of turtle monsters, while the Golden Feather Red Eagle Art required some kind of eagle bloodline.

The half-human, half-demon appearance of the eagle-nosed man today was called "Red Eagle True Body" according to the description of the technique.

After turning into a half-demon, his speed and physique all soared.

The pair of wings behind the man was the most powerful attack method of this technique.

Condensed diamond sword feathers can be used for attack, defense, hiding and escaping.

The technique is quite good, and the means of attack and defense are also very good.

However, the flaws of the technique are also very big.

According to the description of the technique, if you practice this technique, you must take the essence of a monster once every year, and it must be the essence of a bird monster, and the grade of the essence must be the same as the practitioner's cultivation.

In other words, the man must take the essence of a second-level bird monster every year during his initial foundation building.

Only in this way can the stability of the technique be guaranteed. Otherwise, according to the description of this technique, the blood will riot and completely turn into a half-monster with no intelligence!

"The flaws are too big..."

Chu Mu was a little surprised, but he had some enlightenment. No wonder the man with the hooked nose chased him like he killed his father.

Every year, he must have a second-level early bird monster essence and blood. Even if he were to consume this much, it would probably make him breathless.

Second-level spiritual materials are easy to find, but second-level monster essence and blood means the death of a second-level monster, and it must be a bird monster, which is simply terrifying!

After flipping through it a little, he threw the jade slip directly into the storage ring. A bloodline technique with such a big flaw is equivalent to a road of no return. If you take it, you will be desperate day after day!

And the higher the cultivation level, the more desperate!

With his mind flowing, he looked at the corpse in front of him, without any courtesy, and his consciousness directly invaded the corpse, wanting to explore the mystery of the bloodline.

But in just a moment, he seemed to have noticed something, and immediately retracted his consciousness.

"Impossible!"

He actually exclaimed directly, full of horror.

He remembered clearly that after the knife fell and the man's head was directly beheaded, the man's soul was annihilated.

What he put into the storage ring was indeed a corpse.

And now, the corpse... is alive?

You have to know that this is the corpse of a foundation-building cultivator, who has gone through the thirteenth level of Qi training and the transformation of foundation building, and has become an extraordinary body.

It is not the weak body of an ordinary mortal. It is impossible for a mortal corpse to be resurrected and turned into a corpse after being corroded by alien energy.

Even if it is resurrected and turned into a zombie, a Yin corpse, or an evil corpse, it must have been specially refined, or there is some kind of natural treasure, or an extremely special environment.

But he did not refine it, and there is no special environment, let alone any natural treasure...

How could a corpse, and a corpse that had been beheaded by an owl, be alive?

Chu Mu hesitated a little, and then made a tentative observation. Although the body was beheaded, it was already alive, just like the body of a living dead.

But in the perception of spiritual consciousness, this activity seems to be growing at a rather slow speed, or in other words...reviving?

There was no abnormality in the initial test. He raised his hand to seal the body. The magic spells were placed on the body of the world several times, and the formation was turned around to seal the body.

Immediately afterwards, he summoned Wangcai, who had been arranged by him to adapt to the second level of cultivation in this house for nearly a year.

After all preparations were made, he continued to examine the corpse in depth for abnormalities.

After a moment, Chu Mu withdrew his spiritual consciousness and looked at the corpse with a bit of surprise.

He originally thought that it was extremely difficult to find, but it turned out that after his spiritual consciousness penetrated, the results were extremely clear.

The violent aura belonging to the bloodline of monster beasts is extremely clear in this resurrected body.

There is no doubt that the abnormality comes from this person's monster bloodline!

It seemed that he was the one who was supposed to be dominant. After his soul was extinguished, his instincts belonging to the bloodline of monsters revived and began to invade the body and try to dominate.

"That's not right either..."

Chu Mu murmured to himself. According to common sense, the way a monk practices bloodline cultivation must eliminate most of the influence of monsters in the bloodline. Even if there is still some instinct, it will never appear like this after death. , but also a matter of recovery.

Unless, this Golden Feather Red Eagle Technique has no effect on eradicating the existence of the monster bloodline. It is because he has been fighting against monsters all the time that he has to take the blood pressure control of monster essence every year.

So, after the man's soul was completely destroyed, the demonic beast's bloodline... revived?

Chu Mu was thoughtful, but then he rejected this guess again.

After all, the influence of monster blood after transplantation into a human body is still based on human existence.

For example, turning into a half-demon only erodes and obliterates a person's spiritual intelligence, probably turning a normal person into a delirious lunatic, rather than annihilating the soul.

Once the soul is extinguished, the demonic beast bloodline transplanted into the human body and the demonic beast bloodline existing based on human beings are more likely to be extinguished accordingly.

unless……

Unless the monster bloodline transplanted by the hook-nosed man contains a divine soul or a remnant soul...

"The remaining soul..."

Chu Mu frowned, seeming a little more confused.

If this is true, where did the remaining soul come from? How does the remnant soul survive in the body of a foundation-building monk?

Does this remnant soul have consciousness?

What is the relationship between the two?

Symbiosis? Seize the body? parasitic?
