Longevity starts with learning

With so many guesses, he seemed to be somewhat restrained.

After all, if it was really as he guessed, the blood of the demon beast had the existence of a residual soul.

That meant... great terror!

After all, demon beasts, before the fourth level, did not have enough intelligence and relied entirely on instinct.

Only when the fourth level passed the heavenly tribulation and transformed into a human form, did they have the same intelligence as humans...

Without intelligence, how could the residual soul be kept in the body of an immortal cultivator?

Chu Mu looked solemn, and took several steps back in succession. He raised his hand and waved it, throwing out almost all his means.

The four wolf puppets formed the Four Symbols Formation, which could fight against the late stage of foundation building.

The three guard puppets formed the Three Talents Formation he had recently obtained, which could also undoubtedly fight against the late stage of foundation building.

The seven puppets were all arranged around the residual corpse.

Then, he raised his hand and wiped it, and the Great Sun True Fire that had been condensed for many years was burning.

Fire and thunder are both fatal enemies to the existence of ghosts!

Without a physical body, a trace of residual soul, a trace of true fire, that is a fatal existence.

He patted Wangcai and signaled Wangcai to the other side.

Then, he slowly stepped forward, with true fire lingering around him, and the faint sword intent flowing, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

But he struggled for a long time, until he approached the corpse again, the true fire had already approached the corpse, but there was no abnormal reaction.

In the perception of the consciousness, the resurgence of the corpse was still proceeding at a slow speed.

In this situation, he seemed to be a little unsure again.

Was he wrong in his guess, or were there other unknown factors?

His expression was a little uncertain, and he pondered for a long time before he slowly stepped forward. This time, he was fully prepared, using the sword intent to protect the soul, the true fire to refine the soul, and then using the soul to release the consciousness, and tried to observe.

This time, the observation lasted for a long time.

Chu Mu's expression also changed from fear to deep doubt.

Half an hour later, Chu Mu half-crouched beside the corpse, still with a puzzled look on his face.

The results of this in-depth observation were different from what he guessed, but overall, they were almost the same.

There was indeed a trace of soul in this corpse.

However, it was not the soul he expected, and it seemed that it was not the soul of a monster...

Chu Mu thought for a moment, raised his hand and pinched his fingers, and a series of spells were immersed in the corpse. Then, strands of blood-colored light also appeared on the corpse.

About half an hour later, a fist-sized blood essence floated in his palm.

The revived breath of the corpse in front of him had completely dissipated, and the corpse was dry and completely dead.

Such a change was obviously expected by Chu Mu.

His attention was always on the blood essence in his palm.

His doubts were all about this group of blood essence.

In the blood essence, the eagle shape was faintly visible, which was undoubtedly the embodiment of the monster form.

But under the perception of the divine sense, the human breath in the blood essence was extremely hidden, but it was faintly detectable when it went deep into it.

The divine sense penetrated into the blood essence, and even faintly saw the flickering of human figures.

Monster blood, human soul...

Two completely unrelated existences, but they were wonderfully combined together.

And this soul in the blood essence, according to his observation, was extremely seriously injured, and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, similar to the state of a vegetative person.

Such a soul, according to common sense, must be annihilated.

But perhaps this soul had some tricks up its sleeve when it was awake, and merged its soul with this group of monster blood essence.

The soul depends on the blood essence to survive, and the blood essence depends on... people to survive.

This means that if a cultivator practices bloodline and happens to use this bloodline essence as the foundation.

Then...

It means that this sleeping soul is parasitizing on his body.

The fundamental reason for the abnormality of the corpse just now is this.

The death of the parasitic body may be the instinct of the sleeping soul to survive, or it may be a conscious behavior.

The bloodline essence erodes the body, and may eventually form a half-demon zombie, which once again provides the soil nutrients for the survival of this sleeping soul.

Chu Mu was a little frightened as his mind was running.

Such "parasitism" is really terrifying.

Any cultivator who uses this bloodline as the foundation without knowing it is equivalent to supporting this sleeping soul for a lifetime.

After all, the soul and bloodline are integrated.

And when a cultivator practices this bloodline, it is bound to the bloodline, which is equivalent to binding to this soul!

There is almost no way to solve it!

And once this soul awakens...

With the help of the existence of blood, even if it is to take over the body, it will only take a moment!

Chu Mu thought silently, the soul is sleeping, and it is integrated with the blood, which is extremely hidden.

But if anyone wants to practice this blood, it is impossible not to check the essence of this blood. If you really want to check it in depth, it is basically impossible not to detect the soul sleeping in it...

Thinking of this, Chu Mu denied his idea again.

He is in the foundation-building stage, so he can naturally detect it.

If it is in the Qi training stage, it is not certain.

Although it is difficult to detect the realm of this soul before its death, there is no doubt that it must be at the third level or even higher.

Otherwise, with the cultivation level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, even the spirit soul must be careful when leaving the body, let alone leaving the physical body and being able to exist for a long time.

And the divine soul in front of him is not just a long-term existence apart from the physical body.

Moreover, it is still fused with the blood of the monster beast, but has not been assimilated and corroded by the blood of the monster beast. It has been refined by the monk, and it can still exist in the monk's body for a long time!

It must have been a great terror during his lifetime!

"So... was it deception, or a coincidence, that made the man with the hooked nose practice this bloodline, thereby achieving the purpose of parasitism and awakening?"

Chu Mu seemed to be testing, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

But in the perception of spiritual consciousness, the divine soul hidden in the blood essence is like a blank divine soul, without any fluctuations.

Chu Mu just watched silently. The soul relied on the blood to exist, and the blood relied on the human body to exist. This relationship has been broken.

Without the support of the human body, the pure bloodline is not far away from withering. The bloodline withers, and the soul relies on the bloodline to survive. That is annihilation.

Chu Mu is more curious about what will happen next?

You know, just now, under the instinct of survival, the corpse was almost resurrected from the dead.

"Um?"

After a moment, he seemed to notice something and frowned slightly.

I saw the blood essence suspended in his palm, as if the desire for survival was erupting. It was originally in a quiet and suspended form, but now it slowly penetrated towards his palm.

This bloodline essence actually wants to parasitize him?

His thoughts moved slightly, and a trace of true fire suddenly appeared on his fingertips!

With a flick of his finger, the real fire flew out, burning the spreading blood essence, causing it to burn and surge. The blood essence that had penetrated toward him immediately shrank back as if it had been hurt.

And all these changes, in his consciousness perception, did not see the slightest fluctuation in the soul.

"Is it really just instinct?"

Chu Mu was still not sure, but then, a bigger problem was placed in front of him.

How should he deal with this combination of blood essence and soul?

Such a strange existence...

The most obvious point is that the soul is hidden in the sea of ​​consciousness. After the physical body is destroyed, there is almost a consensus in the world of immortality.

That is, the soul must be accommodated with soul-nourishing things, so that the soul can exist longer.

Not to mention, it is combined with the blood of monsters and beasts, which is filled with blood instinct. Not only is it not affected by the blood, but it can also instinctively control the blood of monsters and beasts for its own use.

This is no ordinary strange thing.

After thinking about it, he tested it many times, but there was still no abnormality. He did not hesitate any more. No matter how precious and strange this bloodline soul was, it could not change the nature of its human soul.

Even if the soul of a high-level monk is sleeping now, no one can tell when it will wake up.

If you keep it, it will be a time bomb that will explode at some point.

It's better not to stop doing it and just practice him directly!

As he raised his hand to seal the seal, a wisp of the true fire of the sun enveloped the blood essence.

Under the refining of real fire, the blood essence crackled, and wisps of burnt black smoke surged. In the dark, it seemed that the instinctive roar of the bloodline of the monster beast could be felt.

The soul that had not fluctuated at all seemed to have some reaction.

Such a sudden abnormality made Chu Mu raise his eyebrows, and the blazing real fire dimmed slightly.

The sleeping state of the soul is basically certain.

But such a sudden reaction......

Will the refining of real fire stimulate the awakening of the sleeping soul?

Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, and he looked around. Many arrangements were still there, and the dragnet was ready to go.

After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, the mana flowed, and the dim real fire became bright again.

The true fire is burning, and refining begins again.

Just as he expected, as if he instinctively sensed the fatal crisis, the fluctuations of the soul originating from the depths of his bloodline had become increasingly clear.

It's like a vegetative state is waking up, and it's like waking people up from their sleep.

After sensing a critical point, the real fire stopped burning, and Chu Mu was already retreating more than ten meters away, with puppets guarding him, the formation was entangled, and he was ready.

"It was...you woke me up?"

When the soul's aura was clear and a faint coercion appeared, an obviously weak voice also sounded in Chu Mu's ears.

Chu Mu remained silent, and with a slight thought in his mind, the array belonging to the house and the four-image array evolved from the four wolf puppets were ready to go.

Under such a battle, the sound that suddenly sounded suddenly disappeared and fell into silence.

After about a moment, the mass of blood essence underwent another change.

I saw the blood twisting, and finally slowly transformed into a humanoid appearance. Finally, with a flash of spiritual aura, a white-haired middle-aged man wearing a gray robe also appeared in front of Chu Mu...

…
