From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 17: Consciousness Breakthrough
Fighting with people and fighting with mysterious spirits are completely different experiences.

Although these monks are not very powerful, each of them is good at different spells and they are also very cunning. You Ming needs to be fully alert to deal with them.

Just now, a cultivator was skilled in a certain kind of nightmare-suppressing spell, silent and yet capable of sapping a person's luck. Fortunately, that cultivator was weak and only knew You Ming's name, so even if the spell landed on the little carp, it only left him dazed for a moment.

But this still made You Ming extremely shocked and angry. He ignored the consumption of his magic power and chased the man for dozens of miles and killed him.

However, the series of battles allowed the little carp to further improve his mastery of magic. He even felt that he had vaguely entered a state of "flow".

He would occasionally experience this feeling in his previous life when he was doing a lot of questions before the college entrance examination. It was as if his mind was suspended high up in the air, with a high level of involvement and selflessness. He would have preliminary ideas for solving the questions after just a glance at them.

At this moment, as the number of times he used the spell increased, his mastery of the spell gradually began to peel off the surface and enter into a more essential exploration.

What is the nature of magic?
The practice of magic is an interactive process between man and nature, heaven and earth, and it is an embodiment of the pursuit of harmony between man and nature.

The way people communicate with heaven and earth is through spells, gestures, and magic power. In the process of communication, they eventually achieve resonance with the universe.

You Ming's thoughts were wild and unconstrained, and at this moment they diverged extremely, as if he had returned to the moment when he first opened his nasal orifices. At that moment when the first ray of spiritual energy from outside the world met with the magic power in his body, everything inside and out was transparent, as if he was gradually merging with the world.

What monks pursue in their practice is the integration with heaven and earth, and the essence of magic may be the same.

With its own weak strength, it achieves harmony and unity with heaven and earth, and ultimately calls upon the tremendous power of heaven and earth.

You Ming felt as if he had grasped something, but it seemed to be just an intracranial orgasm in his heart. He felt that he needed an opportunity to help himself completely break through the confusion in front of him.

"Qiang."

Just as he was immersed in his own world, he suddenly felt a sword sound coming from farther away.

Jian Ming's voice was very small, but he was extremely sensitive at this moment, as if some alcohol was applied on a person's skin, making him sensitive to even the slightest airflow.

You Ming opened his eyes in an instant. A hundred feet in front of him, a sword blade almost turned into a shadow and stabbed towards him.

"Ten directions strangling."

Almost in the blink of an eye, water vapor rose from the surrounding area and turned into dozens of slender streams of water. These streams were like snakes and pythons, dancing around Youming.

This spell excels at control, but in this case, it can also be used for protection.

The constantly flowing water currents cover all directions of Youming and are changing all the time. Once an external attack approaches, these water currents will suddenly strangle it.

At the same time, You Ming looked at the direction where the sword blade was flying, flicked his fins, and a thick column of water also rushed forward.

"Whizzing."

But the sword blade was extremely agile. When the water column was about to hit it, it suddenly changed direction, and after drawing an arc in the void, it shuttled between the gaps of [Ten Directions Strangulation] like a swimming fish.

The moment he got close to You Ming, he stabbed him hard.

"Won!"

In the stands outside, the Night Wanderer couldn't hold back his cheers. He stood up and felt like his heart was about to jump out.

Although the fight between the two sides only lasted for a few breaths, the danger and severity of it was enough to give people a heart attack.

The little carp's body was pierced by the sword blade, and its figure gradually became illusory and disappeared on the spot.

Time seemed to stand still for a second. But the next moment, the water stream formed by [Ten Directions Strangulation] suddenly contracted inward, tightly wrapping around the sword blade.

And a few feet away, You Ming's body reappeared.

However, there was a hint of fear in You Ming's eyes. Fortunately, he was cautious. Even though he was wrapped in the water flow, he still used [Flowing Water and Moving Clouds]. The sword just hit was just an illusory body formed by his own water vapor.

The sword blade wrapped in the water flow struggled frantically. After a few shocks, it tore through the water flow and flew straight out.

When you cut the water with a knife, the water will flow even faster. It is very difficult for the water to restrain such a sharp object.

After breaking free from its restraints, the sword blade rose into the air again, with the tip pointing at You Ming. The sharp edge made people's eyebrows ache.

But the next moment, a column of water blasted out from the opposite side, and the sword blade was deflected just after flying a few feet.

"Boom boom boom."

You Ming took a deep breath and blasted out three streams of water in succession, each hitting the waist of the sword.

He just didn't believe it. We are all at the [Enlightenment] stage. I have cheated, but I still can't beat you!

I just don't know where the person controlling this flying sword is. Otherwise, I would just capture the leader first and kill him directly.

Just a hundred feet away, a young man whose figure was obscured by a hazy light had cold sweat on his forehead.

Basically, all cultivators have little combat power in terms of [Ming Qi] and [Kai Qiao]. He was able to obtain a [Blood Sacrifice Artifact], which was enough to make him far ahead in combat power among his peers.

But where the hell did this freak come from? He actually practiced magic to such a level.

Every time the opponent bombarded the flying sword, his mind trembled a little. After all, he did not have the [Xuan Guang] cultivation, and his connection with the flying sword depended entirely on his mind. If the flying sword was damaged, he would not feel good either.

But a hint of ruthlessness also rose in Li Zhengyuan's heart at this moment. Even if you have powerful magic, how many can you cast?

Why is the Blood Sacrifice Artifact a powerful weapon at the [Awakening] level? It's because it consumes little energy and has great power.

Just like when two people are fighting, if one of them holds a sharp knife, he will definitely have the upper hand.

At that moment, he forced himself to calm down, and his thoughts turned. The flying sword turned several times in the air, and then moved forward like a snake, making it impossible for You Ming's spell to anchor.

You Ming also used the Flowing Water and Moving Clouds technique at the same time, moving around within a range of dozens of feet, leaving behind a series of phantom bodies in the void, making it impossible to grasp his position.

Even though the flying sword is fast, it still needs someone to control it.

As long as you don't have spiritual consciousness, you won't be able to see through his illusory body.

For a moment, the two sides were in a stalemate.

The many gods outside the field just watched with great excitement. Except for a few gods like the Night Wanderer who bet on Li Zhengyuan, most of the gods had a good impression of the little carp.

After all, they are our Shinto people. They feel proud that they can defeat these immortal monks.

Some of the impatient ones cheered loudly and cheered for the little carp.

The Night Wanderer mingled among the crowd. Although he hoped that Li Zhengyuan would win, he did not dare to say it out loud.
