Dongxuan Spiritual Realm

Chapter 71 Black Mountain Nine-Headed Insect

Among the three corpses and nine insects, the three corpses are more difficult to eliminate completely. To kill the three corpses, you must first get rid of the nine insects.

Yang Qisheng handed the Nine-Headed Mirror to Heishan Xiaoqian. When the devil got the mirror, he looked in the mirror and his face was covered in green light.

The devil was overjoyed, and in the green light, he naturally turned into a burly man with dark skin, a ghost crown on his head, a black robe on his body, and a murderous aura burning like flames from head to toe.

"Thank you, Master... no, Master, thank you for giving me this magical weapon! With this treasure, from now on, if you dislike someone, I, Heishan... no, I, Xiaohei, will help you deal with him! From now on, all the people, gods, monsters and demons in the world will worship you as the supreme being!"

"Don't talk about that for now. First, follow the method I taught you to lure the nine insects out of my body and put them into the mirror!"

"As you command!" Heishan said, but he felt that this word was not enough to express his reverence and awe for his master, so he added, "I will obey your command!"

Yang Qisheng's method was very simple. He practiced normally, absorbing the five elements of evil energy from the surroundings, taking it into the five elements divine fire furnace in his abdomen, refining it, and making the furnace more solid and stable.

During this process, the evil energy of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth fills the five internal organs, which will give rise to various negative emotions such as murderous intent, lust, anger, etc.

At this time, the three corpses and nine insects in his body will take the opportunity to cause trouble and fuel and expand these emotions.

The purpose of the three corpses is to absorb the essence, energy and spirit of practitioners. In "Journey to the West", Tang Sanzang hides his essence, energy and spirit. The demons want to eat him, which essentially means they want to take away people's essence, energy and spirit.

The nine insects parasitize in the human heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys. They are tangible but intangible, and they absorb people's spiritual energy and blood, taking away their lifespan.

Practitioners refine their Qi and build their foundation, setting up furnaces and tripods to prevent their body's essence, energy and spirit from leaking out, but there are still these "internal thieves" hiding inside who take advantage of and rob.

Normally, practitioners are governed by their primordial spirits, and when they focus on introspection, they are suppressed and cannot absorb the essence. Only when practitioners are confused and their spirits are disrupted by various negative emotions can they appear and suck in the precious essence, energy and spirit.

At this time, Yang Qisheng began to practice the "Lingbao Kunzai Sutra". As the evil spirit grew, all kinds of negative emotions became more and more intense, and the fire in the furnace became more and more prosperous. The three corpses and nine insects also came out to add fuel to the fire, stirring up trouble and taking advantage of the fire to rob.

Ordinary practitioners in the Demon Refining Stage cannot feel the existence of the Three Corpses and Nine Insects at all. They just think that they have a bad temper, are too greedy, and have lust roots that are difficult to get rid of... Even Yang Qisheng can only have a slight mental perception.

He immediately decided to let Heishan take action.

Heishan is his inner demon. They are in tune with each other and feeling the master's will, Heishan immediately casts a spell and uses the nine-headed mirror to shine at Yang Qisheng.

A green beam of light enveloped Yang Qisheng. Heishan activated the magic mirror and shouted, "Master, give me some more vitality!"

Originally, he was just a delusion, invisible and intangible. Due to the creation of the mysterious spiritual realm, he became tangible but intangible. Later, he absorbed some vital energy and gradually began to have shape and substance. However, after all, he had no magical powers and could not exert the power of the Nine-Headed Mirror.

Yang Qisheng found that the light from the Nine-headed Mirror was not strong enough, and the nine insects in his body were still vague and had not fully appeared, so he first passed three streams of vital energy to Heishan.

Heishan had previously obtained some vital energy from Ye Yunqiao, and later when Yang Qisheng was practicing, he absorbed a wisp today and a breath tomorrow, which added up to not much.

Now Yang Qisheng was giving him three mouthfuls of vital energy. He excitedly shouted repeatedly: "It feels so good! It feels so good! Thank you so much for the reward, Master! Wow..."

He increased the force of the Nine-Headed Mirror, causing the green light to increase dozens of times!
The nine insects in Yang Qisheng's body were finally aroused by this treasure and became completely active.

As they moved, the various physical sensations such as nausea and discomfort became more intense.

Yang Qisheng endured the dual discomfort of soul and body, concentrating on refining the Five Elements True Fire in his abdomen, and then forced the nine insects out of his body one by one.

Some of them came out of the ears, some came out of the nostrils, and some came out of the eyes...

These bugs would never crawl out of their hosts even if they died.

The Nine-Headed Mirror is indeed a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Three Corpses Sect. No one knows how it was refined, but it can lure nine insects out of the body of a living person.

After the nine insects appeared, they were illuminated by the green light and seemed to be trapped in some kind of illusion. They swayed and could not tell east from west and south from north. As Heishan continued to cast spells, they were wrapped in the green light and flew into the mirror one after another.

After getting rid of the nine insects, Yang Qisheng felt relaxed all over, his mind felt clearer, and his kidney energy was more sufficient. It was as if he had undergone a marrow cleansing according to the Book of Changes, and had undergone a qualitative change from the inside out!
Without the Nine Insects' support, even the negative emotions caused by the Five Elements training had subsided a lot, to less than one-tenth of the original amount, which was completely within the tolerable range of a normal person.

Yang Qisheng was delighted. He first suppressed the three corpse gods, then cast a spell to absorb more of the five elements' evil spirits, took them into his stomach, and refined them into essence.

He practiced for ten days and ten nights in one go and felt extremely refreshed.

Looking at the Black Mountain again, I also gained a lot.

He completely digested the three streams of vital energy that Yang Qisheng passed on to him. His originally transparent body became even more condensed. Standing there, he looked like a real person to ordinary people.

His magical powers increased a lot, and he even swallowed the Nine-Headed Mirror into his stomach.

This demon was born from Yang Qisheng's delusion, and he was also gifted. With the help of the power of the Nine-Headed Mirror, he restored some of his magical powers in the demonic realm and directly grew eight human heads between his chest and abdomen!
What grew out of him in the magic realm were Nie Xiaoqian's heads, nine in total.

This time, he combined that magical power with nine kinds of corpse worms, and together with the one on his neck, they all became the heads of the worms. The nine worms had different heads, some white, some red, some black, and some green. Their bodies connected together at the back, forming a nine-headed worm-like monster.

Turning around, he was a normal person again, with nine men's heads between his chest and abdomen.

Then he shook his body again, and the demon body in the shape of a nine-headed insect appeared again.

After repeating this several times, the devil became more and more clever.

"Bring it!"

Yang Qisheng guided the Qi back to the furnace, finished his training, opened his eyes, and reached out to the demon.

Heishan changed back into human form, and acted as obediently as a puppy. He blinked his eyes and said innocently, "Master, what do you want from me?"

"Nine-headed mirror!"

Heishan looked aggrieved: "Wasn't that treasure given to me by the master? How can I ask for it back? It's beneath the master's demeanor!"

"Stop talking nonsense. When did I say I was giving you the mirror? I just asked you to use it to help me practice. Now that I've finished my practice, give the mirror back!"

Montenegro was reluctant to do so.

Yang Qisheng threatened him, "Don't make me do it myself! Do you think that just because you've received three breaths of my vital energy and cultivated new magical powers, you can disobey me and rebel against me?"

Heishan and Yang Qisheng are in tune with each other. They can give each other immediate guidance on what they are thinking as if by telepathy, and can also empathize with each other.

He knew that he had become stronger, but he also knew that Yang Qisheng had become stronger!

If Yang Qisheng had to calm his mind and restrain his thoughts before dealing with him, and then use the Lingbao Qingxin Jue to gradually control his mind, now that he has eliminated the nine insects, it only takes a thought to deal with him.

He didn't dare to resist, so he could only open his mouth pitifully, spit out the mirror, and then return it with both hands.

"Master, Master, why won't you trust me? Why are you always on guard against me? You know this mirror is twenty times more powerful in my hands, otherwise you wouldn't let me use it to help you practice.

With this treasure, cultivators below the Jindan stage can help you deal with them. You can stimulate the nine insects in their bodies. You can attack them openly during a fight, and you can also curse them secretly at other times. How wonderful it would be.

"I know you've been on guard against me, but you no longer have the Nine Insects in your body. I pose no threat to you with this mirror. Why can't you just give it to me? Why are you so cruel to take it back?"

Yang Qisheng didn't explain to him at all. He grabbed the mirror back and rubbed it with his hands to look at it carefully.

This mirror will be useful in the future, so he plans to refine it, but he doesn't know the magic of the Three Corpses Sect, so he can only use the authentic Xuanmen immortal method to refine it, but this will easily reduce its power.

Based on the immortal arts he had learned, he worked out a sacrificial plan. He used the five elements of evil spirit to condense the Five Spiritual Treasure Talismans, printed them into the mirror, and used nine spiritual treasure gold talismans on the back of the mirror. Then he injected a large amount of the five elements of evil spirit into it.

If other sects want to obtain the five elements of evil energy, they have to go out and look for it in nature.

The advantage of Taiyi Palace is that in this Taiyi Cave Heaven, the ancestors built the source of evil energy somewhere unknown, and then used talisman arrays to transport it to various palaces, like tap water.

When the door on the wall is opened, five kinds of pure evil spirits will continuously gush out, almost inexhaustible.

Whether it is for self-cultivation or for refining medicine and practicing weapons, it saves time and effort.

Yang Qisheng extracted a large amount of the five elements' evil spirits and injected them into the Nine-Headed Mirror, then began to calcine it with civil and military fires. Without reducing the power and function of the mirror itself, he also made certain improvements.

He completely turned it into his own magic weapon.

Now, even if Shi Wenyan were to be resurrected, Yang Qisheng could still use this treasure to fight back against Shi Wenyan, and the other party would have no way to stop him.

After putting the Nine-Headed Mirror into the Qiankun Bag, he picked up the Three Corpses Staff again.

This thing was originally stronger than the Nine-Headed Mirror, and after absorbing the Three Corpse Hells, it became even more powerful.

Yang Qisheng wanted to follow suit and use him to kill his three corpses as well, but after a few attempts, he felt it wasn't going to work.

He estimated that this would only be possible after he had established the cauldron and refined the罡.

If I force myself to do it now, I will most likely fail and my fate will be even more miserable than that of the possessed senior brother.

He then sacrificed and refined the Three Corpses Staff, sealed it temporarily, and put it into the Qiankun bag.
