Chapter 689: Cultivating and Descent of Spirits (Part 1)

Using the method of practicing the spirit-descent technique to eliminate the excess demonic energy that he could not use was Huan Yin's solution, or it could be said to be a method to delay the outbreak of the inner demon.

Huan Yin started using this method soon after he thought of it. As expected, the practice of the spirit-descent technique was no different from the fundamental Taoism, so it could completely consume the demonic energy that Huan Yin needed to consume, achieving the effect Huan Yin wanted.

In this way, as long as Huan Yin used the Suanni Ding to suppress the inner demon, he felt that he could really delay it for another six or seven years, so it should not be a problem to wake up Ruan Shushu.

Moreover, apart from the disadvantage that the Suanni Ding might be eroded, the surplus of demonic energy this time actually provided Huan Yin with an excellent opportunity to practice the spirit-descent technique, which was of great benefit to him. After all, there was no one to disturb him in the deep sea, and there were still several years left. Huan Yin could calmly experience what it meant to be "all animals are illusory". Under such conditions, Huan Yin's method of summoning spirits may be able to make some significant progress.

So, time once again began to pass quietly in the endless deep sea. Huan Yin, who was in the deep sea, was doing three things at once. He continued to learn how to use the magic of gathering to treat Ruan Shushu, while improving his cultivation and practicing the method of summoning spirits.

Doing three things at once was naturally not good for cultivation itself. However, as Huan Yin became more and more proficient in the magic of gathering, the difficulty of such cultivation became less and less for him, and his own gains became greater and greater.

On this day, it was unknown how long it had been since Huan Yin thought of a solution to the problem. However, the interval must have been not a short period of time, because Ruan Shushu already had a very complete foundation of Taoism at this time. What Huan Yin was doing for her was no longer repairing the foundation of Taoism, but had become repairing the meridians in her body that were almost completely damaged.

Repairing meridians with magic of gathering is naturally much less difficult than repairing the foundation of Taoism. During this period of time, Huan Yin made further progress in magic of gathering. Therefore, it is getting easier and easier for him to do three things at once. Especially since increasing his cultivation is a common thing for him, the difficulty can be basically ignored, so he is more and more able to control everything he is doing now.

Slowly opening his eyes from meditation, Huan Yin's face showed a sense of relief. Now he felt that he could even spare some time to do the fourth thing, and he felt quite relaxed.

But soon, when he subconsciously used his spiritual sense to check the situation in the Suan Ni Ding, his brows frowned again.

The bottom of the Suan Ni Ding has now completely turned black, and that black is almost impossible to reverse. This means that the Suan Ni Ding has become more and more accepting of Huan Yin's inner demon. And if it continues to develop like this, when the Suan Ni Ding is completely black, it should belong completely to Huan Yin's inner demon.

"Hey, I hope you can wake up soon." With a helpless sigh, Huan Yin could not think of any solution to the problem of Suanni Ding. It can even be said that when he decided to save Ruan Shushu, he had already allowed Suanni Ding to be eroded by his inner demons.

Shaking his head, Huan Yin did not want to continue thinking about the problem of Suanni Ding, so he threw the question out of his mind.

Then, he muttered to himself: "All animals are false..."

The sentence he muttered was the essence of the method of descending spirits, and it was also what he had been constantly realizing during this period of time. However, he did not make much progress during this period of time, because the fundamental Taoism of descending spirits and improving cultivation is different, and it is not possible to grow by absorbing demonic energy alone. Descending spirits is based on perception. If the perception is not enough, even if more demonic energy is absorbed, the growth will not be too great. And now Huan Yin's perception progress is obviously not very good.

Just when Huan Yin was feeling a little sad, a big fish about three feet long and with a rather fierce appearance swam to Huan Yin's side.

With a look of surprise on his face, Huan Yin did not expect that he could actually see the fish. After all, he had already released the dragon's breath and the method of summoning spirits. Unless it was a very advanced existence, few in the animal world dared to approach him.

Soon, Huan Yin's spiritual consciousness cautiously extended and surged to the big fish. However, after this exploration, Huan Yin felt more and more confused.

This was just an ordinary big fish, without any cultivation at all.

"Ignorance is fearless?" Huan Yin looked at the fish swimming back and forth in front of him, constantly moving his body, and thought so.

Then, he suddenly became inexplicably energetic, as if to dispel his sad mood, and waved to the big fish, saying softly: "Come."

Huan Yin naturally could not know how to communicate with fish, not to mention a fish with no cultivation. However, when he waved his hand, he subconsciously brought with him some spiritual power. Such power has a strong effect on the animal realm, and the fish in front of Huanyin had no cultivation at all, so Huanyin's move made the fish swim towards him without any hesitation.

The big fish swam up and soon began to circle around Huanyin, looking quite happy. When Huanyin saw this free, happy and lively fish, the sadness on his face gradually dissipated, and he showed some smiles instead.

Gently patting the big fish, Huan Yin said: "You are still good. You don't have to think about anything, don't have to worry about anything, you are free and at ease, which is much more comfortable than those of us who seek immortality. Great freedom, I think you have achieved great freedom."

Huan Yin's voice was not loud, as if he was talking to himself, but with a bit of self-mockery. If people heard it, they might feel a little sad.

After playing with the big fish for a while, Huan Yin gradually lost interest and wanted to let the fish go. However, when he observed the fish in front of him again, his heart suddenly jumped.

"Spirit descending?" These two words popped up in Huan Yin's heart. This was the Taoist method he had just used on the fish, subconsciously.

"The practice of the spirit descending method focuses on perception, and if you want to gain a deep perception, you should practice more and learn from practice, so that you can have a deeper understanding and a more thorough perception." Huan Yin said to himself with a changing face.

"And now, I am in this deep sea, completely surrounded by the beasts. So, as long as I keep trying to control them, it will be the best practice of the method of summoning spirits. And in such practice, my understanding of the method of summoning spirits will be more profound!" The voice became louder and louder, and Huan Yin's eyes also showed a hint of excitement.

For a long time before, because Huan Yin unfolded the dragon breath and the spirit summoning breath, all the fierce beasts in this sea area were driven away, which made him forget that he was among a large number of beasts. If it weren't for this big fish swimming over inexplicably, I'm afraid Huan Yin really wouldn't think of practicing the method of summoning spirits. I wouldn't notice that I have always been in the best place to practice the method of summoning spirits, which would only waste resources in vain.

"Thank you!" Huan Yin patted the fish's body again, and said excitedly, then he waved his hand and sent the fish away.

Next, the green light outside Huanyin began to slowly converge, and the dragon aura and spirit aura around him became weaker and weaker. Until the end, the green light outside Huanyin shrank to less than twenty feet, and at this time, the influence of his aura on the fierce beasts in the entire sea area was instantly reduced to this range.

The retreat of Huanyin's aura soon played an extremely obvious role. Those sea beasts that did not dare to approach Huanyin before, regardless of their cultivation level, began to gradually move closer to Huanyin. Although they still did not dare to approach Huanyin within twenty feet, they were not far away from Huanyin. It was not difficult for Huanyin to find them and even cast spells on them.

Half a day later, a sea snake with a cultivation level of the early stage of the life palm appeared in Huanyin's sight. This sea snake was the one with the highest cultivation level that Huanyin had encountered in the past half day. And he had not taken action before because he thought the cultivation level of the sea beasts swimming by was too low. After all, casting the spirit summoning on the beast with too low cultivation level has little practical significance for him now, because he is a life god cultivator after all.

"Forget it, life palm is life palm, let's try it first." After staring at the sea snake for a while, Huan Yin finally shrugged and said to himself.

At this moment, since he decided to cast the spirit summoning, he has not made a single move, so he is really itching to try it. So now he decided to try it on the sea snake.

As for the target that is really suitable for him, he thinks he will have to wait for a while until he sinks into a deeper sea before he can really meet it.

Having made up his mind, Huan Yin locked the sea snake with his spiritual consciousness and slowly closed his eyes. However, his right hand was raised at the same time, and it was surrounded by a mysterious green light, which felt quite profound.
