Above all spirits

Chapter 70 Blood Lure

Let's not even talk about Ji Ning.

Hongxiu herself was somewhat surprised.

I haven't actually experienced any life-or-death ordeals.

Didn't Ji Ning say that cultivating the Nine Revolutions Reversal Death Heart Sutra requires a wisp of life and death intent as a prerequisite?

Where did I come from...?

She just wanted to try out what it felt like to follow the incantation of the Nine Revolutions Reversal Death Heart Sutra.

After all, she was just an ordinary mortal.

Having just entered the world of cultivation, she was filled with curiosity about everything.

As a result, he was silently reciting the mantra and feeling the changes.

Meanwhile, he continued to peruse the Heart Sutra.

And just as they turned to the page in the Heart Sutra that depicted a strange ghost hand image.

This should be the visualization diagram that Ji Ning mentioned, which is meant to accompany the Heart Sutra.

I was just about to take a closer look.

As a result, the hands in the painting seemed to come alive, and Hongxiu trembled violently as if struck by lightning.

Then everything went black and I was dragged into the world depicted in the image.

Open your eyes again.

The surrounding area was now a desolate wasteland.

And endless, billowing dust like smoke.

An unspeakable sense of sorrow and despair constantly irritated and infected Hongxiu's heart.

They tried to assimilate her.

Although it was her first time experiencing it, she didn't seem overly panicked or flustered.

Because Ji Ning had introduced her to him from the beginning.

We are currently in the process of normal visualization.

All you need to do is guard your mind and firmly believe that everything before you is an illusion, just a test of your mental state.

Furthermore, if you realize that you can't handle it, just stop chanting the mantra immediately.

Without the support of corresponding mantras, one will quickly abandon the visualization on their own.

And just as Hongxiu paused to think amidst this gloomy scene.

The space is shaking.

The earth trembled violently.

"Ping——!"

The sky suddenly shattered.

A pale, terrifying ghostly hand suddenly emerged slowly from the crack in the sky.

A chilling aura began to emanate from the shattered void.

After breaking through the spatial barrier, the ghost hand hovered in the air, swaying back and forth, as if searching for something.

Although they already knew there was a ghostly hand in the painting, they were prepared for its imminent arrival.

But once you're actually there, facing the immense pressure that constantly irritates your skin and the atmosphere of despair all around you...

As a novice cultivator, Hongxiu could not completely ignore it.

My heart tightened.

Subconsciously, I started looking around.

Hopefully, there will be some cover to keep us from being discovered.

But it's a pity.

There were no trees or rocks around.

All that remained was an endless wasteland.

No surprises.

She contracted the virus.

Once one's emotions are influenced by the surrounding environment.

In the visualized mental space, you will transform from an observer into a participant.

Just as the giant hand in the air was about to sweep past Hongxiu and move away, it suddenly sensed something unusual.

It suddenly turned around.

The palm faces the red sleeve.

It was as if there was an invisible eye staring intently at Hongxiu.

Looked at it for a moment.

Despite having no mouth, the ghostly claw emitted a strange, eerie sound with a hint of sharpness.

It seemed to carry a hint of joy.

It's like a child finding a toy.

I rubbed my fingers together a few times.

It charged straight at Hongxiu.

Hongxiu first tried hard to suppress her unease and stopped reciting the incantation.

He then repeatedly reminded himself that it was all just an illusion and that there would be no real harm.

but! !

That feeling of goosebumps.

That was a self-defensive warning from the depths of life.

This completely overwhelmed Hongxiu's naive thoughts.

...

Hongxiu's brows were furrowed and her forehead was covered in sweat.

Bai Qing'er tugged at Ji Ning's sleeve.

Somewhat uneasy.

"Brother Ji Ning, is Sister Hong alright?"

Ji Ning also looked solemn.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

In fact, he noticed the abnormality even before Bai Qing'er did.

From the very moment Hongxiu stopped reciting the mantra.

He sensed something was wrong.

Because under normal circumstances, once a practitioner interrupts the mental cultivation method, all abnormalities will be effectively alleviated.

And will slowly regain consciousness within a minute.

It's like hypnosis.

But Hongxiu was clearly not; she seemed to have encountered something within the world she was contemplating.

Do not!

It should be said that something was done beforehand that caused this abnormality.

After all, the visualized world is at best a purely spiritual world, just like a dream.

It does not inherently possess this negative impact.

Even if the dream is dangerous.

Ji Ning pondered for a moment, then leaned closer to take a look at the Nine Revolutions Reversal of Death Sutra in Hongxiu's hand.

The ghost hand pattern in the picture has a faint red mark.

Faintly visible.

"Blood lead?"

Ji Ning ultimately lived within a large family.

What he has seen and known, at least within the Canglan Star, is certainly far beyond that of ordinary people.

Bloodletting is a search method.

Using the blood of others as a guide, one can indicate the location of those others.

However, some people will use special methods to tattoo it on a weapon or a piece of jewelry...

A visualization!

Its function is to allow one to observe or even perform certain operations on someone who is using something engraved with blood as a medium for a short period of time.

There's some trouble.

Ji Ning knew it.

However, the solution is another matter.

Because blood-drawing techniques performed in this way generally have a very short lifespan and are basically ineffective.

It was just a simple ward placement.

This eye will only be triggered when someone gets close or touches it.

Therefore, few people care about it or bother to crack it.

"Damn it."

"I told you not to practice such deadly techniques."

"This is bad. Are we just supposed to wait for the Blood-Guiding Technique to disappear naturally?"

"Ah, it's so annoying!"

"Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!"

Just as Ji Ning was about to use her soul power to draw the other party's soul.

A reassuring voice came from behind.

"what happened?"

"elder brother!"

Ji Ning breathed a sigh of relief. He had originally planned to use his soul power to stimulate Hongxiu's soul.

This forces her to make an instinctive defensive reaction, thereby forcibly activating Hongxiu's soul.

In this way, the consciousness of the red sleeve in the visualized world can immediately return to the original body.

This is the soul's inherent protective instinct.

This is equivalent to forcibly shutting down and then restarting the computer.

However, this method is very damaging to the soul. For cultivators who have not yet entered the mortal realm, their souls are in a dormant state.

If it's activated passively, from Gu Yun's perspective, it means consuming soul essence.

It is diminishing one's talent.

"Big brother, is your meeting over?"

Gu Yun shook his head.

"We're already in the initial stages of cooperation. There's really no need for a family meeting. We can just communicate directly with your father from now on. The rest of the discussions will just be empty flattery."

Ji Ning smiled and stepped forward to put her arm around Gu Yun's shoulder.

"Well, that makes sense. Brother, your main goal this time is to make some troublemakers in the families back down."

"It's both to reduce some unnecessary trouble for you in the future, and to protect those silly and cunning people in our family."

"Let them see your strength beforehand, so they won't get a good beating or even killed by you later."

"Hey hey hey."
