Start getting stronger by modifying your breathing method

Chapter 494 Root [Four]

Hu Qi closed his eyes slightly.

Let go of your own perception.

The fifth level of the spiritual world is different from the other levels of the spiritual world.

If it is said that there is just one more layer of barrier between the other layers of the spiritual world.

Then the fifth spiritual realm and other spiritual realms are not in the same space at all.

This is also the reason why Hu Qi attacked with all his strength without any hesitation before.

If the 'root' would be alarmed, Hu Qi would never be so reckless.

Generally speaking, if you want to touch or even enter the fifth level of the spiritual world.

A specific ceremony is required to open it.

Hu Qi is no stranger to this.

After seizing the memories of the Seven Gods.

All the mysterious knowledge in this world was acquired by him.

Even the most learned researchers of occult knowledge could not compare to him.

Naturally, I also understand how these ceremonies should be arranged.

However, these rituals are cumbersome and complicated, and take some time to prepare.

And after opening, the channels are one-way.

It means that you can only enter but cannot come out.

But luckily, there is a very simple way.

That is to let the Lord of the Sky, Celanis, or the Lord of the Underworld take action to find the node of the fifth level of the spiritual world and open a passage for entry.

Moreover, the channel opened in this way can be used for round trip.

This is also one of the reasons why the Puppet Master chose the Lord of the Underworld.

As for why he didn't choose to take over the body of the Lord of the Sky.

It’s because the opponent is too strong.

May fail.

In addition, the Lord of the Underworld can also open the portal to the fifth level of the spiritual world.

That was enough for him.

This was not difficult for Hu Qi, who had seized the other party's power.

soon.

He sensed the location of the node representing the fifth level of the spiritual world.

Lift your leg and take a step forward.

The figure disappeared in place.

……

The Western Continent.

In the north, the cold wind was howling, and all I could see was a pure white scene.

At this moment, inside one of the towering castles.

In a room deep in the castle, a bamboo cradle covered with velvet curtains lay quietly beside the fireplace.

In the cradle, a blond baby about one year old was curled up in a swaddling cloth embroidered with gold thread and sleeping soundly, his pink little face rising and falling slightly with his breathing.

The flames in the fireplace cast dancing shadows on the baby's face, giving him a warm golden hue.

Suddenly, a breeze carrying night dew blew through the gap in the stone window.

The candle flame was strangely still for a moment, even the dancing shadows were frozen.

I don't know when a figure appeared next to the cradle.

The maid standing by the side was still mechanically waving a feather fan, and her eyes would habitually sweep over the cradle every few breaths.

But the pupils only reflected the sleeping baby.

As for the figure that was so close to her, it seemed as if it did not exist in this dimension and could not leave any trace in her vision.

Hu Qi looked down at the sleeping baby.

There was a slight change in color on his face.

The fifth level of the spiritual world is not fixed in one place; its opened nodes will randomly parasitize in the body of a living being in this world.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to sense its location.

This is also the reason why it is generally impossible to find the fifth level of the spiritual world.

Hu Qi didn't stay for long.

The body moved.

It turned into a streak of light and sank into the independent spiritual world of the baby in front of him.

Every living thing has its own spiritual world.

The baby in front of me is no exception.

However, each person's spiritual world manifests itself in different forms depending on the owner's cognition.

For example, this baby.

Logically speaking, the spiritual world within his body should be pure white, without any impurities.

However, at this moment, in the center of this pure white space, there is an inky black spot.

See this.

Hu Qi raised his hand and the black spot fell into his palm.

next second.

It can be seen with the naked eye that it is getting longer against the wind.

The lines were quickly drawn in relation to each other, and in the blink of an eye, they became a huge black arched door.

There is no superfluous decoration above the gate.

See this scene.

Hu Qi paused for a moment.

Then he reached out and pushed the door open.

The door was pushed open.

Revealing the darkness within, as dark as the abyss.

Hu Qi raised his legs and walked into it.

Then the door closed.

Then it gradually faded away.

But it has not completely disappeared.

A vague outline can still be seen.

Hu Qi didn't pay much attention to the door behind him, but began to look around.

The fifth floor was not as dark as it looked from outside the door.

On the contrary, there are beams of light emerging from time to time, like fleeting meteors.

And, there is one difference compared to the first four levels of the spiritual world.

The space here is very empty, with nothing in it.

But the more so.

Instead of relaxing, Hu Qi's expression gradually became more serious.

Because he sensed that an extremely dangerous aura was approaching rapidly.

That is... a power that surpasses the true God.

at this time.

In the space ahead, countless green points of light seeped out from the void of darkness, like floating fireflies.

They rotate strangely at angles that defy Euclidean geometry, gradually weaving together into a dizzying spiral structure.

The shape looks like a circle of collapsing galaxies.

Where the light spots converged, the space began to seep with sticky darkness.

Some kind of terror beyond the reality is tearing the veil of reality. Every point of light is emitting a teeth-grinding buzzing sound, like the mutterings of tens of millions of dying people.

When the last bit of dim light sank into the center, the entire space suddenly fell into suffocating silence.

next second.

The entire ball of light turned into a huge vertical pupil and slowly opened.

A nebula-like color of corruption flows across the irises, and countless collapsing universes are reflected in the depths of the pupils.

Tiny fleshy whiskers wriggled at the edges of his eyelids, and every slight tremor made the surrounding air make a sticky sound.

At the moment our eyes met.

Hu Qi seemed to be able to see the flesh and blood wriggling and deforming in his sight.

My own rationality began to crumble like a sand castle.

This eye does not belong to any known creature, but it gives all who witness it a terrifying sense of existence.

If I had to describe this feeling.

It's like a praying mantis is suddenly given the cognitive dimension of a human and is forced to examine itself from the perspective of a higher life form.

When it looks back at itself with new understanding.

You will find densely packed parasites wriggling in the cracks of your shell, as well as numerous insect eggs in your body.

Those symbiotic relationships that were once taken for granted.

At this moment, everything is distorted into disgusting pictures under the human aesthetic filter.

The cruelest thing is that it can neither truly become human.

And I have lost the qualification to be a praying mantis forever.

New and old cognitions tear each other apart in the ganglia.

Human thought patterns scream in insect brains.

Every nerve and thought is running in overclocking.

The end result of this cognitive overload.

Or the consciousness is crushed into powder in the dimensional difference.

Or the body is the first to betray the overdrawn mind.

And the pollution comes from higher dimensions.

Often, more terrible cognitive distortions arise from the ruins of collapse.

When the answer to 'what am I' is completely dissolved,

Even madness has become a luxury of relief.

The ultimate result will only be the loss of the concept of self and the transformation into a complete monster.

And that’s how Hutch feels now.

At the moment of looking into this giant eye.

His perception of himself is constantly being elevated and distorted.

He clearly realized his own weakness and fragility. At the same time, his vision began to become distorted, and his body began to deform strangely.

A kind of crazy trait is constantly eroding Hu Qi's soul and body.

Hutch raised his arms.

A layer of translucent webbed membrane had grown between his five fingers at some point, and a sticky liquid was slowly dripping through the gaps between his fingers.

The film glowed with a strange iridescence in the dim light, and trembled slightly with every breath, expanding and contracting as if it had life.

Faced with this horrifying change, Hu Qi just frowned slightly.

His gaze never left the floating giant eye.

A layer of light golden God-Slaying Realm suddenly unfolded around his body, and dense runes flowed in the void, forming an invisible barrier.

In an instant.

The distorted whispers, the wriggling shadows in the field of vision, and the physical deformations all receded like the tide.

But it has not completely dissipated.

As the gaze continued, the lines in the pupil of the giant eye began to rotate strangely.

The mumbling sounds that were blocked outside the realm gradually grew stronger, like millions of ants gnawing at the barrier, infiltrating distorted cognition.

Hu Qi could clearly feel that some force was trying to rewrite his thinking structure.

however.

Instead of any fear on Hu Qi's face, a fanatical and ferocious smile flashed across his face.

Because in his ears, those mumblings that ordinary people could not understand were revealing some subversive truth.

Each distorted syllable is like a key to a new world. Although it carries the danger of corroding the mind, it also contains immeasurable knowledge and information.

From a higher cognitive perspective, I re-examined my own shortcomings.

At the same time, he also acquired a large amount of mysterious knowledge that even the Sequence 1 God could not master.

That seems to be... information about sequence zero!
This erosion and pollution is essentially a distortion and reconstruction of the self-consciousness of living beings.

But for some extremely paranoid souls, this effect will be weakened to a minimum.

When a person's will is crazy enough, crazy enough to distort the logic of reality, even the pollution from high positions will become insignificant.

Hu Qi himself is such a person.

Ever since he traveled through time, that feeling of uneasiness has never left him.

Even with the existence of the scarlet panel, the sense of crisis that penetrates deep into the bone is still like a thorn in the flesh.

This is what drives him to never stop getting stronger.

Only by becoming stronger can he feel at ease.

In his cognitive system.

'Self' is the absolute core coordinate.

Everything in the outside world, whether it is a gift or a curse, is nothing more than an object that needs to be analyzed and controlled.

At this moment, those strange erosions that were enough to make ordinary people collapse instantly were forcibly suppressed by him with pure will.

Instead of causing mental breakdown and madness, it uses this temporarily enhanced high-level cognitive perspective to absorb more extraordinary knowledge and supplement itself.

Of course, even if it can be suppressed, it will only be temporary.

It simply couldn't last long.

When Hu Qi can no longer hold on, he will directly summon the scarlet panel to correct his own condition.

Pull yourself back from the brink of collapse.

that's it.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

A voice broke Hu Qi's strange state.

[Ding! Main Mission 2: Source
Mission description: Face one of the extraordinary sources of this world, the duration is at least one minute. (Completed)
It has been detected that Administrator No. 4 has completed all main missions. Mission rewards are being calculated... Now starting the return transmission. The countdown is ten...nine...eight...】

At this time.

At this moment, the familiar cold mechanical sound belonging to the Book of Reincarnation rang clearly in Hu Qi's ears.

The moment it appears.

The whole world came to a standstill.

The mumbling sounds and the images disappeared without a trace.

It was as if time had been paused.

After hearing this voice.

The smile on Hu Qi's face faded.

He now stepped back from that perspective of cognition.

He couldn't help but feel a little sorry.

That kind of nearly omniscient cognitive perspective can easily make people addicted to it.

Ten seconds passed in a flash.

soon.

A beam of light comes on.

His figure disappeared out of thin air.

……

In the vast starry sky, stands a magnificent pyramid-shaped building.

Each floor of this building emits light of a different color, which appears particularly dazzling against the dark background of the universe.

At this moment, in the isolated space at the top of the pyramid, on a suspended island, Hu Qi's figure gradually emerged from the void.

In the moment of appearance.

The aura on his body began to surge.

After a while, it finally stopped.

at the same time.

A scarlet panel appeared before his eyes.

The information on it has changed again.

-

[Sequence Zero: Blade of the End

Feature 1: [Eyes of Delusion]

It can instantly see through and analyze everything; what is seen is destroyed, and contains a trace of the origin of delusion.

Feature 2: [Deformed God Realm]

The advanced form of the domain. Once within the domain, it can isolate everything and distort and erode everything.

Feature 3: [End of God Form]

The divine product of slaughter and absorption after the death of the gods.

……

[Modified value: 439910 (61%)]

At this moment, its sequence has been advanced again.

Reached an unprecedented sequence zero.

There are also some changes and increases in various characteristics.

And the reason for all this.

It was simply because Hu Qi looked directly into that giant eye, gained the other party's perspective, and understood the more profound mysterious knowledge.

Besides.

Because of the strange state he was in before, he did not pay attention to the consumption of the modified value.

Only at this moment did I realize that the modified value actually consumed four hundred thousand.

This is undoubtedly extremely terrifying.

Thinking of this, a strange look appeared in Hu Qi's eyes.

"Could that giant eye be related to the Taoist master?"

At this moment, in his perception, after advancing to sequence zero.

The power of this body has surpassed the peak of the True God realm and reached an incredible level.

It has even surpassed the normal state of the entity.

But he probably hasn't reached the level of a Taoist master.

According to the Puppet Master's memories.

The power gained in the Ten Star Novel World cannot be brought back.

Because it is different from other novel worlds.

It is a way of occupying the physical body, and the power gained will basically remain in that world with the physical body.

Even if the power is more spiritual, it will be left behind by the power of rules.

All that can be brought back is extraordinary information about the professionals.

If you want to practice, you have to start from the beginning.

But Hu Qi is different.

He possesses a scarlet panel, which has the effect of making one's certificate permanent.

Once you gain power, no one can take it away.

at this time.

The black handwriting belonging to Samsara Bookstore appeared before his eyes.

[The mission is settled... Start issuing! ]

next second.

The entire space suddenly shook violently.

Hu Qi looked up and saw that the island where the other three managers lived was falling apart.

Whether it was the creatures living on it or the puppets exchanged for it, they were all turned into dust in an instant and dissipated into nothingness.

Obviously, this scene happened because the three managers were completely dead.

and.

The moment these three islands disappeared.

The island where Hu Qi was located was expanding rapidly.

In an instant, the surrounding scene began to distort and change.

In just a few breaths, the space completed an incredible transformation.

When everything returned to calm, Hu Qi found himself in a magnificent circular tower.

Under the towering dome, the circular walls are completely covered with bookshelves, with layers of classics densely arranged.

Before Hu Qi could make any move.

Sudden.

A dazzling light slowly gathered in front of him.
