Being a talent in the Chusheng Demon Sect

Chapter 1376 The Secret of Dao Tianqi

Despite this, Lü Yang was not in a hurry to set off.

Not now.

'This time the commotion is quite significant. The First Sage is probably watching me closely. If I go to the complete [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man] like this, he'll most likely flip the table.'

Lü Yang suppressed his impulse.

In addition, the inherent danger of the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man] also made him somewhat wary, since Dao Tianqi still had some memories that had not been recovered.

What he fears most is similar methods.

Especially since Dao Tianqi has already cultivated his primordial spirit, yet still lost his memories, if he were to encounter this situation again, even if he were to restart, he might not be able to erase the impact.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. Now that we've rescued the pill cauldron, let's first see if he can help Dao Tianqi regain his lost memories. It would be safer to try and enter after we understand the [Remnant Consciousness of Heaven and Man] and the eighth secret realm above the seven levels."

Upon realizing this, Lü Yang immediately turned around.

Cause and effect receded beneath his feet, disappearing from the dim universe in the blink of an eye. Before leaving, he turned back for one last look.

And there, another pair of eyes also turned their attention to it.

That's not quite right.

Lu Yang frowned slightly, keenly noticing the change in the First Saint. He could no longer sense the subtle, indescribable emotions that the First Saint had previously displayed, such as being hesitant to act for fear of harming others.

You should know that I suddenly traveled back to ancient times and broke the information gap set up by the First Sage. Under such circumstances, even if the First Sage was unwilling to fight me, he should have done something else. But now the First Sage really did nothing and just openly watched me.

In the past, Chu Sheng often showed signs of being "anxious".

But now it has disappeared.

With doubts, Lü Yang returned to the present world and immediately saw Dao Tianqi and the first Dan Ding Peak Master talking, except that the latter looked a bit strange.

"Fellow Daoist, what is this...?"

Lu Yang blinked, while the first Dan Ding Peak Master subconsciously raised his hand to cover his face, but quickly realized it was a futile move.

"Oh, please excuse my poor performance, senior."

Lowering his hand, the first Dan Ding Peak Master spoke with a helpless tone, revealing a face that was flushed and swollen, clearly showing signs of a beating.

With his immense magical power, Lü Yang immediately understood the cause and effect at a glance. It was the World Honored One who had struck him. He smiled and waved his hand, sending a wisp of pure energy onto the face of the first Dan Ding Peak Master. The swelling and discoloration subsided, dissolving the great power left behind by the World Honored One, and his appearance was restored in the blink of an eye.

"Thank you, senior!"

The first Dan Ding Peak Master hurriedly cupped his hands in greeting, then glanced smugly at the World Honored One behind Lü Yang, causing several veins to bulge on his bald head.

"Amitabha."

The World Honored One clasped his hands together, feeling both amused and annoyed, but not surprised. After all, among the first generation of four peak masters, Dan Ding was the most daring and had always liked to provoke him.

Therefore, after silently reciting the words of compassion a few times, he changed the subject: "Let's get down to business. Fellow Daoist Xuande, you were saved by changing cause and effect, and there is something important I want to ask you."

"I see."

The first Dan Ding Peak Master, Lian Tiandou, nodded: "Tian Qi has already told me about his memories. I did think of a way back then."

"Unfortunately, because someone boasted that they couldn't protect us but insisted on doing so, we didn't even have a chance to try this method before Tianqi fell into that old man's trap, and Butian also mysteriously disappeared. Of course, I don't think we can blame him. He was just not strong enough. We're all the same, there's nothing shameful about it."

The World Honored One: "."

Who are you talking about?
You brat, are you being sarcastic towards me?
That being said, the World Honored One did not react this time, after all, he could not deny that as the eldest brother, he had failed to protect his three junior brothers.

On the contrary, Lian Tiandou glanced at the World Honored One cautiously after speaking.

He then coughed and continued somewhat awkwardly, "But in any case, the outcome is ultimately good. Tianqi has awakened, and I have survived."

As for mending the sky.

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang replied truthfully, "Fellow Daoist Butian is not in any danger. If I find an opportunity in the future, I will bring him back as well."

Upon hearing this, Lian Tiandou became even more solemn: "I will always remember your kindness, senior."

He was also a decisive person, and he immediately stopped talking and said directly: "I guessed that Tianqi's memory problem was related to his true spirit."

"A true spirit?" Lu Yang asked curiously.

Lian Tiandou nodded: "Within the Sea of ​​Light, all living beings, stripped of their physical bodies, exist solely based on their souls, true spirits, and consciousness."

“The three elements work together from the outside in, forming a unified whole.”

"The connection between the three is roughly like this." As he said this, Lian Tiandou used his magic power to draw a three-layered sphere as a model.

"The outermost layer is the soul, which is also the foundation in the eyes of most lower-level cultivators. The soul creates the sea of ​​consciousness, and most cultivators stop here in their entire lives, unable to glimpse deeper mysteries. Only a very few secret techniques can allow people to shed their soul and walk in the world as true spirits."

Lü Yang listened very attentively because he had actually experienced it himself.

Back when he was still in the Foundation Establishment stage, he was reborn as a celestial spirit. He once encountered the Heavenly Emperor's possession, and in the end, he abandoned his soul and escaped from consciousness.

Thinking of this, he immediately asked:

"Are the true spirit and consciousness one and the same?"

"Yes and no."

Lian Tiandou explained, "In my view, the true spirit is actually a container for memories, and with memories, consciousness will follow you like a shadow."

"So even if someone's soul is scattered, as long as their true spirit remains, they can still retain their memories and consciousness after being guided by Tianqi's underworld and transformed into a dead spirit. But if their true spirit is shattered and their memories are lost, even if they are reshaped, only a completely new consciousness will be born."

At this point, Lian Tiandou suddenly smiled easily:
"For example, Ling Xiao. Tian Qi told me about his situation. Senior, aren't you surprised that I was revived but he wasn't affected?"

"They are clearly the same true spirit."

"This is the difference in memory. The so-called same true spirit is actually just a container, but the memories are different, and the consciousness is naturally different as well."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang understood the meaning of the Refining Heaven Pouch.

"So, the reason why Fellow Daoist of Demon Taming has a problem with his memory is because the true spirit that served as the vessel is missing a piece? No, that's not right, this explanation doesn't make sense."

If Dao Tianqi's true spirit is flawed, the First Saint could not possibly be unaware of it.

On the other side, Lian Tiandou also nodded:

"Yes, that's unreasonable."

“If the true spirit is flawed, Tian Qi would never be able to cultivate the primordial spirit. For example, Sanhe of the Great Sword Sect is a very typical example of someone with a flawed true spirit.”

"After all, if a true spirit has no flaws and its memories are seamless, it should only have one consciousness. How could one person suddenly generate three consciousnesses?"

"So, according to my speculation, Tianqi's condition is not due to a deficiency in his true spirit, but rather because some external object is hidden in his true spirit, obscuring a part of his memories. As a result, although his consciousness is clear, he cannot access that part of his memories, thus causing amnesia."

"External forces, oppression?"

Lu Yang frowned deeply: "It doesn't make sense. If the true spirit is flawed, it can sense it, but if an external object enters, it can't sense it? What external object could possibly deceive the primordial spirit's perception?"

"Yes, Senior."

Lian Tiandou said with certainty, "I have heard that you come from outside the Sea of ​​Light. If that is the case, you should be the one who understands best what that external object is."

"."

Upon hearing this, Lü Yang immediately realized what was going on.

Yes, there is something that is not found outside of Guanghai, but only by the locals of Guanghai, and it only came into existence after the pre-ancient era.

Definitely an external object.

Wisdom!
