Chapter 995

All things and living beings are both a whole and individuals.

Whether it is the mundane or cultivators, it is all like this.

Like mortals, the soul is in the body, and one's own blood and flesh veins contain a set of circulation, the function of which is to resist harmful things from the outside.

Reducing the possibility of getting sick and reducing dangers that damage life.

Cultivators are even more so, having spiritual power to bless the body, making all circulation and operation of the body proceed according to a certain law.

And according to different cultivation and life levels, this set of operation will also become increasingly perfect.

After reaching a certain level, it is very difficult for outsiders to find flaws, finally forming one's own defense to resist external forces.

To blast and kill this type of cultivator, unless it is winning against the weak with strength, causing them to collapse, otherwise, with equal cultivation, or even weaker than the other party, wanting to turn defeat into victory requires a special method.

And immortal arts were created based on this principle back then.

Its fundamental means are on the two words "strange" and "special," emphasizing using special methods and strange paths to bypass the opponent's own defense, thereby erupting with killing power.

And human nature is complex and intangible.

So it often becomes a breakthrough point that some immortal arts focus on choosing.

Like the Six Thieves Delusion.

The seven emotions and six desires contained within are all intent.

Using intent as a guide, reversing circulation, infiltrating defense, and creating flaws that can be killed within.

As for Five Dogs Abandoning Immortals, its essence is the intent of temperament.

The word "Abandon" can represent a dwelling, like the body where the soul resides.

Hence, there is the term "seizing the abode" for the spell.

Besides this, this word has another meaning, which is to let go.

But it is very difficult for people to let go.

That is why there is that sentence.

Not abandoning external objects and all existence, this intent becomes the flaw that bypasses one's own external defense.

Through this flaw, the immortal art is unfolded.

As for the memory of Miss Yuedong's Junior Sister appearing, that is the specialty of the immortal art.

Using this way, it can be hidden, making people unable to sense it at the first moment; its principle is to use oneself to deceive oneself.

As long as it cannot be sensed at the first moment, it gives the Stingy Intent a chance to grow.

Just like opening a door out of thin air in a closed room.

This time is five breaths, and this is the true meaning of the Stingy Dog entering the abode.

Overall, immortal arts rely on their strangeness, unfolding by borrowing the intent of the Five Dogs, and using a specialty that transcends traditional meaning, using a method that is extremely difficult to block to form the lethality of the immortal art.

And once the door is opened, naturally there is external evil invading.

That white eye is the Greedy Intent in Five Dogs Abandoning Immortals.

"Insatiable desire is called Greed; if the Greedy Dog enters the abode, one is bound."

Greedy intent can bind the soul and bind oneself.

Thus, the door opened wide, and the moment the white eye appeared and gazed at Xu Qing, Xu Qing's mind immediately rippled, having four breaths of trance.

A strange seal from the inside out therefore appeared, following the gaze of this white eye, sealing everything of Xu Qing.

These four breaths were the time for this seal to form; if it could not be broken within four breaths, then...

"Delusional planning is called Delusion; if the Delusional Dog enters the abode, one falls into life and death."

A white vortex appeared silently in Xu Qing's sea of consciousness, appearing below that white eye, rotating continuously, forming a force of separation.

Separating the fusion of the physical body and the soul.

Three breaths later, below the white vortex, a white big mouth appeared, this mouth opened, emanating endless evil.

This is...

"Not knowing true nature and arguing to win is called Evil; if the Evil Dog enters the abode, one falls into hell."

The white big mouth swallowed fiercely.

What it swallowed was the soul!

And finally, around this eye, vortex, and big mouth, the fifth intent of Five Dogs Abandoning Immortals appeared.

That was a white face skin.

Under its reflection, in Xu Qing's sea of consciousness, the Five Dogs Abandoning Immortals technique was completely complete, and what was formed... was actually a complete face.

White hair dancing, expression... neither laughing nor crying, strange to the extreme.

It merged into Xu Qing's physical body.

"Not attaining non-birth and delusionally resisting the three paths is called Cliff; if the Cliff Dog enters the abode, one loses human form forever."

The world in front of Xu Qing became pitch black.

And outside, at the bottom of the Abandoning Immortals Lake, on the massive white rune where countless skeletons were located, there was one more at this moment.

It was exactly Xu Qing.

His hair became white, his skin was even more so, his eyes opened, emanating white light, seemingly becoming one with all the skeletons in the surroundings.

The expression was also like this.

But the next instant, a sudden change occurred.

Outside Xu Qing's body, countless seven emotions and six desires threads suddenly appeared in the void; these threads emanated the immortal art fluctuation of the Six Thieves Delusion, which were laid out by Xu Qing in advance, and at this moment were triggered, approaching Xu Qing here in an instant.

The moment they touched, a part of the threads broke through Xu Qing's physical body, drilled into his body, and headed straight for the white face skin.

Another part circled outside the body, and under the winding of one after another, they soon wrapped Xu Qing into a human-shaped cocoon.

This cocoon contained a seal.

Sealing the white face skin in Xu Qing's body, making it unable to go out.

And this was Xu Qing's plan.

He wanted to personally feel the Five Dogs Abandoning Immortals technique, and although this technique was strangely astonishing, Xu Qing had some certainty in his heart.

The source of this certainty came from the Six Thieves Delusion.

After all, Five Dogs Abandoning Immortals and Six Thieves Delusion are originally one immortal art.

Just like this, time passed.

Beneath the Abandoning Immortals Lake, it was silent.

There was a moment when it seemed even the lake water had no flow, until an hour later, among the many skeletons, the cocoon transformed by Xu Qing suddenly emitted a cracking sound.

This sound was slight at first, but soon became increasingly dense, and finally, cracks appeared on this cocoon one after another.

After there were more and more, this cocoon shattered into pieces with a boom.

Revealing Xu Qing inside.

His hair was no longer white, having returned to its original color, and his eyes were the same, only a sense of lingering fear remained within.

"This is Five Dogs Abandoning Immortals."

Xu Qing murmured.

"This technique is stranger than the Six Thieves Delusion... no, it's because Miss Yuedong's own strength was insufficient, so the Six Thieves she unfolded against me could be broken."

"And the immortal art here, the source is this mark..."

Xu Qing lowered his head, gazing at the massive white mark beneath his feet.

He could feel that this mark was extremely ancient, containing the passage of time, and judged in his heart that it was highly likely from the era of the Xuan You Ancient Emperor.

It was even highly likely that this mark was the foundation mark of the Five Dogs Abandoning Immortals immortal art.

"If I hadn't mastered the Six Thieves Delusion first, and transformed it into authority Dao marks, completely combining it with myself, I'm afraid this time, it would have been very difficult to wake up so quickly under this immortal art."

Xu Qing looked up, looking at the skeletons in the surroundings.

At this moment, he already understood that these were all those who had died after failing to comprehend here.

"This immortal art..."

Xu Qing retracted his gaze, falling on his right hand.

At this moment, those shattered cocoon threads were re-transforming into threads, gathering from all directions, and soon, in the palm of Xu Qing's hand, a faint mark slowly emerged.

The appearance of this mark was exactly the same as the white mark beneath the Abandoning Immortals Lake, only it was magnified countless times smaller.

If one looked carefully, one could still see that the totem of this mark was actually an abstract mask.

This was Xu Qing relying on the Six Thieves Delusion immortal art, after extracting the white face skin formed in his body, using the attraction of the same source of the immortal art to forcibly leave it behind.

Gazing at it at this moment, Xu Qing's divine sense merged into it, as if he had walked through the Five Dogs Abandoning Immortals he had experienced before once more, finally confirming the inner quality of this immortal art.

"Stingy Dog is hidden in the memory of the spell-caster by the way of connecting a memory; because of its specialty and concealment, it is very difficult to see the clues, and if within five breaths, the spell-caster still cannot erase it, then the Greedy Dog will come out."

"The function of the Greedy Dog is to seal, preventing the spell-caster from having the possibility of escaping; this seal needs four breaths to form; if it is not erased during the time of formation, then the seal is formed, and the Delusional Dog comes out."

"The power of the Delusional Dog is a vortex, its purpose is to separate the soul and physical body of the spell-caster, making the flaw larger after the flaw appears in oneself; if it cannot be extinguished within three breaths, then the Evil Dog comes."

"The Evil Dog swallows the soul; if it is not extinguished within two breaths, then the Cliff Dog arrives."

"The Cliff Dog merges with the body; there is only one breath to kill; if it is difficult to shake it within one breath, then... the Five Dogs Abandoning Immortals technique succeeds."

"If this immortal art succeeds, it can erupt with astonishing lethality; to a certain extent, it is using oneself to kill oneself!"

"So not only can it win against the strong with the weak, but the damage of this technique to the soul is even greater."

"It's just that there is one point I still don't understand..."

Xu Qing pondered.

"Abandon Immortals, Abandon Immortals, what is the meaning of this?"

"Let go of immortals? Abandon immortals? Or becoming an immortal oneself and abandoning?"

Xu Qing vaguely felt that these two words were another layer and a very important layer of meaning of this immortal art.

Because he had not learned this immortal art, he could not thoroughly understand it at this moment.

Xu Qing felt some regret.

But he also understood that this technique was vast and absolutely not something that could be learned in a short time; as for himself now, he had only mastered the foundation.

This was still because of the attraction of the Six Thieves immortal art that he had such a harvest.

"So it is the foundation, and also the qualification."

"Only by possessing this qualification is there a possibility of mastering it."

Xu Qing put away the regret in his heart, looked up, his body flickered, and he headed straight for the lake surface.

And following his departure, this Abandoning Immortals mark at the bottom of the lake dissipated slightly, as if it were no longer complete.

At the same time, in the Immortal Art Hall outside, in its depths, there existed a secret room forbidden area sealed by layers.

In the secret room, there was a black stone, on which existed an ancient mark, exactly the same as the mark at the bottom of the lake.

This was the true Abandoning Immortals Mark.

It was just that now, even it had become a bit dim, as if a part had been separated.

Because the Great Immortal Master of the Western Demon Feather was traveling and had not returned, this scene was unknown to anyone.

At this moment, on the Abandoning Immortals Lake, those Immortal Masters of the Western Demon Feather were still sitting and comprehending; it had been less than two hours since Xu Qing sank to the bottom of the lake.

So when Xu Qing's figure broke the lake surface and appeared, there were not many Immortal Masters who noticed this scene.

And those who saw it were all stunned, but then reacted, guessing that the other party had not truly comprehended, and should have retreated due to fear, so they each had contempt.

Xu Qing did not pay attention to these; looking at the white Immortal Art Hall, remembering the words his Master had taught him, that one should have a heart of gratitude in doing things, so after thinking about it, he cupped his hands and bowed toward the Immortal Art Hall.

Thus, his heart was at peace, and it could be considered not owing anything; in the future, if he saw them, he could kill them without worry.

Then he turned and galloped away.

This scene was seen by the young man in the Immortal Art Hall, who could not help but sneer.

"Arrogant when coming, bowing when leaving; I've seen too many of these people who are arrogant at first and humble later."

"There are always people who think they are geniuses, think they are omnipotent, but after experiencing the torture of the immortal arts in my hall, they are all worthless."

"This Xue Chenzi is even more of a coward; looking at the time, this person was clearly scared away."

"Not worth worrying about!"
