Chapter 1124: Chapter 1124: 3 Heads and 6 Arms

Despite the spell being very complex and difficult to understand, and the hand seals hard to memorize, for other martial artists, just committing these things to memory without any mistakes would probably take a year or two.

Yet for Ling Xiao, this was not an issue at all.

With his Tai Chi Eye’s powerful abilities to analyze, practice, and even replicate, remembering these things, even without understanding them, he could display them exactly as they were.

Soon, his mental state became utterly serene.

He had his most trusted subordinates guarding outside; he didn’t need to worry unnecessarily, which allowed him to concentrate fully on his cultivation.

It could be said his mind was as still as water.

The moment he completely calmed down, a deep, pitch-black tunnel suddenly appeared in his mind, and this tunnel became extremely clear, as if he were walking inside it.

But the tunnel was long, and as he walked, it felt as if his footsteps were incredibly heavy, and his mind seemed to be torn apart by something, causing unbearable pain.

He clenched his teeth tightly, enduring the agony without giving up.

A martial artist who cannot endure pain that ordinary people cannot bear will never achieve great accomplishments.

Gradually, the tunnel in his mind merged with his memories.

He remembered vividly the days when he was begging in Tianfeng City, where they nearly experienced being chased by the City Defense Army every day.

And a dark tunnel outside the city had become their best escape route.

Almost every day, they would walk out from that dark tunnel.

Standing at the exit of the tunnel, looking at the light outside, many hesitated to leave.

Because what awaited them was not necessarily the light but possibly the butcher’s knives of the City Defense Army, brutal beatings, and death.

Out of fear, many beggars would rather starve to death than take a step out of that tunnel.

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth; he was well aware that exiting the tunnel might be dangerous, but it could also provide food to survive and even lead to a brighter tomorrow.

"Seize the light! Bravely charge out!"

Suddenly, he threw himself out.

It was merely an illusion, yet it still gave Ling Xiao a strong sense of reality.

The moment he rushed out of the tunnel, the whole world seemed to have changed.

He felt as if his body had become light and was flying into the air.

The stone cave he was in was only about five meters high, yet he found himself seemingly about to hit the top of the cave.

But after the collision, there was no feeling of pain at all.

He looked down in surprise.

He almost cried out in shock.

Wasn’t that himself sitting cross-legged on the ground?

The Ling Xiao on the ground had his eyes closed, his hands forming hand seals, his mouth no longer moving, as if he had fallen asleep, with slow, rhythmic breathing.

"Did I successfully perform astral projection?"

At that instant, Ling Xiao confirmed his current state and felt an inevitable joy in his heart.

Along with a trace of panic.

What happens after the soul leaves the body was also mentioned in the Soul Fragment Scroll.

If there’s wind blowing at this time, one might never be able to return to the body.

The best method is to strengthen this projected soul, so that even in the presence of a gale, it wouldn’t get blown away without a trace.

The soul, an intangible substance.

It clearly exists, yet at the same time, it seems to not exist at all.

Because almost no one in the Mysterious World could see it.

Only those with a powerful cultivation level could feel it.

Powerful martial artists could use soul power to harm people, but astral projection like this had never crossed their minds, let alone attempted.

Ling Xiao fluttered around the cave, trying to touch the walls and items on the ground with his hands, only to find that he could not touch them at all.

This was exactly the same as described in the Soul Fragment Scroll about astral projection.

The sensation was indeed wondrous, giving one the urge to shout out loud.

However, Ling Xiao also understood that even if his soul screamed, it probably couldn’t be heard by anyone.

He passed through the stone wall and came outside of the cave.

Hoo——!

Suddenly, a gale blew by, and Ling Xiao felt an immense chill to the bone.

Frightened, he hurried back into the cave.

Sure enough, as the scroll had said, once the soul was without the protection of the body, it was indeed a very dangerous thing, unless your soul was strong enough. Otherwise, even a dog’s bark could scatter your soul, and you wouldn’t even know how you died when the time came.

Once his soul re-entered his body, Ling Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The astral projection had succeeded, so the next step was to strengthen the projected soul so that it could withstand the harsh conditions of the external environment.

This process was still through visualization for cultivation.

What he didn’t expect was that the Sealing Gods Record, which had been buried in his memory and almost completely forgotten, emerged once again.

He had obtained the Sealing Gods Record while at the Moon Hua Sect, which contained a large number of figures.

He used to think those figures were powerful martial artists from the Ancient Era.

But as he learned more and his experiences grew, especially after mastering the Soul Fragment Scroll, he suddenly realized that the Sealing Gods Record did not depict martial artists from the Ancient Era at all.

Instead, it depicted a group of powerful beings that did not exist in the Mysterious World.

Because these beings seemed to know how to cultivate the soul, something that was impossible in the Mysterious World.

Of course, no matter where these people came from, at the current stage they could be of great help to Ling Xiao.

Visualization was not baseless imagination.

It meant using reality as a reference for visualization.

Those powerful figures in the Sealing Gods Record became just the reference he needed.

There was one figure with three heads and six arms, not only depicting scenes of combat, but also scenes of him sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Ling Xiao imitated him, imagining himself with three heads and six arms, each arm forming one of six hand seals.

His three heads chanting three different mantras.

Then, he visualized his own Mountain and River World.

In the vast Mountain and River World, where day and night alternated, and the stars dotted the sky, all these glimmering lights flooded into his soul core, transforming into some kind of energy.

All this was visualization, all illusion, in fact nonexistent.

However, thanks to the cultivation method in the Soul Fragment Scroll, these visualizations could become reality.

At this moment, if someone were standing next to Ling Xiao, they would be able to see that he seemed to truly possess a three-headed six-armed form.

Those vague limbs and heads were condensed from soul power.

Above his head was no longer the cave ceiling, but a vast expanse of the universe.

Although this universe seemed very ethereal and unreal, the energy surging into it was real.

Countless rays of light continuously entered Ling Xiao’s mind, and the soul core was truly strengthening rapidly.

Ling Xiao felt as if he were immersed in a hot spring, with the gentle flow of water touching his limbs and bones, and a comfortable warmth allowing his body to fully relax. That pleasant and satisfying sensation was truly like ascending to immortality.
