I attained immortality in the real world.

Chapter 138 Casting Nightmare Spell
[Nightmare Spell - The Seven Arrows of Nailhead.]

Without a doubt, it is a technique of the third realm. Unlike Feng Shui and Qimen, which can be controlled beyond realms, the Nightmare Technique requires a cultivator of the third realm to perform it, or rather, a celestial being to transform into a supernatural power.

Wang Tianzhong only has the first realm of cultivation, and only grasps consciousness. Ordinary people can also grasp most of consciousness, so they are practically no different from ordinary people.

With favorable timing, location, and human factors all in place, even a stripped-down version of the Nightmare Technique with reduced difficulty is sufficient to deal with it.

The necessary auxiliary items are also very simple: a ritual altar for exorcising the heavens and a straw figure.

Legend has it that Nuwa mended the sky with five-colored stones. In the world of cultivation, the sky is a secret realm. The Boiling Stone Cave also has five-colored soil, and the Human Emperor Banner is also five-colored.

These five colors are not left to their own devices; they correspond precisely to the five directions of the Heavenly Capital Secret Realm, making them undoubtedly the best altar for performing the Heaven-slaying ritual.

[Freeze!]

With a thought, Chen Jing conjured the Emperor Banner and placed it on a rock: "It has five directions and five colors, and it corresponds exactly to this heaven. It is the perfect altar."

With the altar ready to unleash the 'Seven Arrows of Nailhead' spell, Chen Jing turned his gaze to Xu Wu: "Take out the prepared straw figure."

Xu Wu rummaged through his backpack and took out a straw figure stained with dark brown blood.

The straw doll used to cast the nightmare spell doesn't actually have many requirements; as long as it can accurately lock onto the target, that's enough.

In this world where data and spirit are intertwined, digitizing spiritual information is not difficult.

Knowing someone's name and birth date, or having hair, blood, or other substances that carry their scent, can all be used as materials for making straw figures.

In the secret realm of Xiurenguan, Chen Jing struck Wang Tianzhong with a claw, severely injuring him. Coincidentally, the claw was stained with Wang Tianzhong's blood, which was perfect for making a straw effigy.

"........."

Chen Jing arranged the altar and placed the blood-stained straw figure on it.

A cultivator at the second realm uses a third realm exorcism technique.

It is necessary to quiet down the sixth consciousness and the seventh consciousness (manas), and to seek the mysterious connection between the eighth consciousness and the heavens, so as to receive guidance from the unseen.

In the world of cultivation, one only needs to silence a character's consciousness and then allow a wisp of consciousness to break through the character's data limitations and communicate with the consciousness of the chaotic world of cultivation to perform the Heaven-Summoning Technique.

The main purpose is to simulate the eighth consciousness, transforming the elusive and intangible into a tangible one, which can provide some guidance for breaking through to the third realm.

The main deity connects with the world's consciousness to receive information, which also falls under the category of exorcism.

However, the intelligent spirit god is not a living being; it has no consciousness or spirit, so it can only know data information that has not been transformed into a chaotic state.

"Pray to Heaven! Wang Tianzhong."

Chen Jing performed a ritual to appease the heavens.

While one's physical consciousness cannot leave the body, breaking free from the limitations of one's role is not particularly difficult.

A wisp of consciousness drifted out of Li Yin's body, and he could no longer share sight or hearing; all that remained before him was absolute darkness and silence.

[Rule distortion: The Heavenly Eye.]

[Note: For those undisturbed by sights and sounds, the illusions they perceive will appear as real scenes.]

I waited for who knows how long.

Suddenly, a chaotic river appeared before Chen Jing's eyes.

The river has no beginning or end, and its muddy waters are of unknown depth. Those with skeletons, broken skulls, or half-bodies are constantly corroded and assimilated by the river, rising and falling in its waters, none of them able to float on the surface.

Despite the extremely terrifying scene, it evoked no fear whatsoever, as if humanity was born here and would also perish here.

This scene resembles the legendary River of Oblivion in the netherworld.

The scene was similar to what Fang Xin saw when she had the boy walk through the underworld, only the scene was clearer and there were fewer corpses in the river.

"........."

At this moment, the heaven being prayed to is the heaven of the Heavenly Capital Secret Realm, the secret realm.

Although it wasn't his first time performing a ritual to appease the heavens, it was the first time he had erected an altar and the first time he had gazed upon this long river from a bird's-eye view. He coldly observed the sinking skeleton of He Zhong, frowned in thought for a moment, and murmured, "The River of Oblivion? The Heavenly River?"

"If we consider death and the underworld, this river is undoubtedly the River of Oblivion."

"If we consider it in terms of life and the celestial realm, this river is the Heavenly River, which is so vast that even birds cannot cross it and a feather cannot float on it. It is the Heavenly River under the control of Marshal Tianpeng."

"Which river in the world does not carry a feather or a bird? Only this celestial river, where the collective consciousness of humankind converges, and only the waters of this river can bear the name of 'weak water'."

"Some say that Pigsy from Journey to the West corresponds to the kidney water element. Since no one can cross the Weak Water, why would we need a water army? A network water army!"

"The Milky Way should be the final resting place of human souls. After it disappears, will there be an immortal spirit that is reborn? If it were to descend to the human world again, in what form would it appear?"

"The Heavenly River Navy that He commands must be the essence of men?"

"........."

"Woooo!!"

Chen Jing looked up and gazed into the distance, where he saw the Heavenly Capital Dragon Vein transformed into a trickling stream, resembling a flowing river of light.

This is the thought, the thought of all players in the Metaverse.

After being purified through reincarnation, it transforms into the purest spiritual energy, becoming the third river after the Yang Dragon and Yin Dragon, enabling immortals to achieve longevity.

Two rivers are converging and merging. A corpse in the Heavenly River, after being washed by the River of Light, actually broke free from the Weak Water of the Heavenly River and transformed into a yin spirit that wanders in the underworld.

"........."

"It's just an illusion."

"Journey to the West is just one person's opinion. I wonder if the Milky Way in the real world really looks like this?"

Chen Jing activated the straw figure on the altar. The blood was pure data, but it could be used to find the corresponding spirit.

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the bottom of the Milky Way; it was the very person they were looking for, Wang Tianzhong.
In reality, this would be Wang Tianzhong's celestial soul, but in the world of cultivation, it is merely the scattered thoughts that have been collected and combined with the character's data.

【ban!】

Chen Jing used the Manifestation Technique to unleash the 'divine' power to its fullest extent.

The first step in using the Nightmare Technique is to fuse the pseudo-heavenly soul with the straw figure on the altar.

Chen Jing called this step "Suppressing Heaven and Harmonizing with Heaven".

In other words, in the eyes of the chaotic world consciousness, there will be two Wang Tianzhong.

One is the real character Wang Tianzhong played, and the other is the straw figure on the altar.

"Susu!"

Chen Jing's spirit transformed into a giant hand, grabbing the false Heavenly Soul and stuffing it into the straw doll.

If it is a true Heavenly Soul, only cultivators of the third realm have the opportunity to touch it, which is why the Nightmare Technique is a technique that can only be performed by cultivators of the third realm.

However, a pseudo-heavenly soul can achieve this by being able to perform the Heaven-Summoning Technique and possessing the spiritual power of the second stage of Crystallization.

"It's done!"

Xu Wu let out a cry of surprise. In a mere instant, he saw the straw figure on the altar transform into the likeness of Wang Tianzhong.

The first realm of cultivation is the human realm.

Whether one is a genius, long-lived, or possesses a photographic memory, everything is confined to the human realm.

The second realm of cultivation transcends human limitations, meaning one is no longer human!
In the distorted world of cultivation, where the rules have changed, one can naturally display divine power and magic in many creative ways, recreating the techniques envisioned by the ancients.

Chen Jing wiped away a cold sweat, exited the state of divine intervention, and muttered, "Too tiring! If I could cultivate my primordial spirit, I could definitely master this skill with ease."
