Refining Demons to Become a Taoist: Refining 108,000 Insects at the Beginning.

Chapter 3: Soul Visualization
Chen Ming gained some benefits, but was also shocked by the tyranny of this secret technique.

This method is so strange and weird that I am afraid it must be attributed to evil!
If others knew about this, there would probably be disaster.

It seems that I have to be more careful in the future and not let others know my whereabouts easily.

Chen Ming's thoughts turned, the vital energy transmitted into his body by the spiritual insect continued to cleanse his soul, and he had a vague feeling that he was about to break through.

"We should not stay here for long. We need to find a secret place to break through, so as to avoid any more complications!"

With a plan in mind, Chen Ming chanted a spell and took the spirit insect into his body.

He turned the magic formula in his hands and a pair of illusory flesh wings grew on his back. With a slight flap, they disappeared.

Several months later, in a valley that was sparsely populated and extremely quiet.

A bright moon hangs high in the sky, moonlight shines down, and a gentle breeze blows.

Chen Ming sat upright on a huge rock, with mist looming around him. At first glance, he looked like an immortal who had transcended the mortal world.

But if you look closely, you will see that the huge rock where he is sitting is covered with dense and ferocious poisonous insects.

The smoke swirling around him was formed by the breath of those poisonous insects.

Chen Ming searched for a long time before he found this secret valley. He then transformed himself into thousands of poisonous insects to guard it, preparing to break through to the visualization realm.

The Qi Attraction Stage is just the initial step into the Tao, drawing in the vital energy of heaven and earth, which is mostly used to temper the body and soul. One can only look inward and sense the scenes in the sea of ​​consciousness, and the magic power generated is also shallow.

Casting spells often requires numerous complicated rituals, or drawing talismans and praying, which is very troublesome.

But when it comes to the state of visualization, the soul is condensed and transformed into a divine soul, sitting in the sea of ​​consciousness and giving rise to divine thoughts, which is completely different.

With the thoughts of the soul as the guide and the body as the medium, one can visualize the wonders of nature in the universe and display magical powers such as thunder, lightning, and true fire without the help of external forces.

Ling Yangzi's "Green Wood Poison Gas" was created by the visualization of his soul.

In addition, if one encounters a disaster and the physical body is destroyed, the soul can escape from the body, leaving a glimmer of hope.

It was also Ling Yangzi's bad luck that he encountered Chen Ming's strange methods, and his soul could not escape and turned into ashes.

At this time, Chen Ming's body and soul, which had obtained the vital energy transformed from the spirit insect devouring Ling Yangzi's soul and body, had reached a bottleneck.

Only one final step is left for the soul to condense, transform into a spirit, and fall into the sea of ​​consciousness, then the state of visualization can be achieved.

According to the records in ancient books, this step becomes a hurdle.

If the soul fails to condense successfully, it will be damaged at best, or scattered at worst.

Chen Ming carefully practiced the spell, and his mind guided the three souls and seven spirits to the sea of ​​consciousness.

I thought it would be extremely difficult, but it turned out to be so easy with just a little push.

The three souls and seven spirits in the sea of ​​consciousness condensed in an instant, transforming into a spirit that was seven points similar to Chen Ming's physical body.

As his spirit and soul were formed, it was as if a layer of shackles had been removed from Chen Ming's heart. He felt something and landed on the lotus platform in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The soul sits upright on the lotus platform, divine thoughts arise spontaneously, and the lotus platform also emits light.

The information about the lotus platform was transmitted into Chen Ming's soul.

It turns out that this lotus platform is called the "Lotus Platform of Creation". As long as it is nurtured, it will produce patterns. After falling off, it will turn into spells and evolve into various magic formulas and secret techniques.

Moreover, the Lotus Platform of Creation has the miraculous effect of protecting the soul and helping people break through the realm.

The reason why Chen Ming was able to enter the state of visualization so easily was largely because he practiced the secret method of "One Hundred Eight Thousand Insects".

In addition, it was the effect of the Lotus Platform of Creation that allowed him to break through without any bottleneck.

“Is this the realm of visualization?”

Chen Ming's mind moved, and his soul left the lotus platform in the sea of ​​consciousness and flew out of his body.

Looking at his own body, Chen Ming felt something.

If the soul leaves the body and does not receive nourishment from the physical body, it will probably dissipate in a short time.

If the physical body is destroyed, he must transform into a ghost cultivator as soon as possible, or obtain another body. "The soul cannot be easily separated from the sea of ​​consciousness. The physical body and the soul are interdependent. Unless it is absolutely necessary, neither can be easily abandoned!"

Chen Ming's soul fell back down and he sat upright on the lotus platform in his sea of ​​consciousness. Only then did he feel at peace.

After his spirit returned to his place, Chen Ming opened his eyes and stood up from the boulder.

With a thought, the smoke around him shrank, and thousands of poisonous insects gathered together, turning into red spirit insects and landing on his palm.

"Now that I have achieved the state of visualization and my soul has returned to its place, you can no longer be placed in my sea of ​​consciousness!"

The spirit insect seemed to understand Chen Ming's words and made a "squeaking" sound.

"Don't worry, I will give you a place to stay!"

After saying that, Chen Ming took out a black earthenware jar.

This earthen jar is the magic weapon that fell after Ling Yangzi's death.

No one knew what material Ling Yangzi had incorporated into it, but it was able to carry and store the highly toxic gas, which was then sprayed out through secret methods and turned into a barrier to protect the body.

"I don't have anything else right now, so I'll refine this clay pot and give you a place to live!"

Chen Ming used his magical power to wrap up the earthen jar.

After a while, the earthenware jar lost its black color and turned into an ancient blue-gray color.

Chen Ming didn't have any good formula for refining magical instruments, so he could only change the appearance of the clay jar. There was no change to its other powers. He could only wait for the opportunity in the future and slowly refine it.

With a wave of his hand, the earthen jar flew up and was held in Chen Ming's left hand.

"bring it on!"

The red spirit insect received Chen Ming's summons and flew into the earthen jar.

"You hide in this earthenware jar. I will refine Ling Yangzi's "Green Wood Poison Gas" to cover it up. Don't let others see your true identity easily!"

Chen Ming turned his magic formula and shook the earthen jar in his hand, which emitted a clear and translucent glow and generated a suction force.

This suction force is generated by the spirit insects in the jar, and is specifically aimed at the soul. Once sucked into the jar, the soul will be devoured by the spirit insects, transformed into vital energy, and fed back to Chen Ming.

The spirit insect hides in the jar, and is concealed by the magic of the jar, so it is not easily seen through.

"From now on, this magic weapon will be called the 'Soul Swallowing Jar'!"

"As for you, I'll call you 'Red Spirit'!"

The red spirit insect in the Soul-Swallowing Jar sensed Chen Ming's thoughts, knew its own name, and shook its head in the jar, seeming very happy.

It swallowed several portions of the "Qingmu Poison Gas" stored by Ling Yangzi in the tank, then curled up contentedly, motionless.

Chen Ming mastered the "Soul Swallowing Jar" and placed the red spirit insect. Only then did he have some free time to begin to comprehend Ling Yangzi's cultivation technique "Green Wood Poison Gas".

Although Ling Yangzi's "Qingmu Poison Gas" is a side path to poison, it can also be cultivated into a soul and break through to the visualization realm.

It is much better than Chen Ming's previous method that could only cultivate to the Qi Induction Realm.

If it weren't for Chen Ming's secret method of "One Hundred Eight Thousand Insects", which allowed him to refine spiritual insects to protect himself, he would not be a match for Ling Yangzi at all.

The origin of the "Green Wood Poisonous Gas" was derived from the visualization of the "Eastern Yi Wood Gas", but it lost its orthodoxy and went astray.

But at this time, Chen Ming only had this magic formula in his hand, so he could only practice it first.

He sat cross-legged, facing the east, knocked his teeth nine times, visualized his mind and chanted the mantra.

In a moment, it was as if you were in the clouds. The Eastern Yi Wood Energy fell from the void and was pulled by the magic formula, turning into green wood energy, and then poison was generated in the energy.

As long as you gather this energy, bind and refine it with the power of your mind and soul, it can be transformed into a breath of "Green Wood Poison Gas".

Just as Chen Ming was about to gather and refine his spiritual thoughts, the lotus platform beneath his seat suddenly emitted light and something unexpected happened.
