Chapter 37 Divine Sense Arises, Spiritual Energy and Spiritual Plants
The spiritual essence of the three protective amulets is integrated into the petals of the "Pure Lotus".
Jiang Jun felt his consciousness becoming increasingly clear, and a wondrous transformation followed.
"Boom—" Like a thunderclap, the Pure Lotus vanished and returned to nothingness.
Jiang Jun's sea of consciousness was shaking incessantly, showing signs of collapse.
Fortunately, the five-colored stone emitted five-colored light, which stabilized the sea of consciousness, and the collapse came to an abrupt halt.
In a daze, Jiang Jun's spirit wandered beyond the mundane world, glimpsing a deep and abyss-like sea.
Unspeakable behemoths raged within, stirring up towering waves. Each wave carried the aura of destruction and life.
Jiang Jun observed silently, and after an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard a "ding-dong" sound, like water dripping into a spring, clear and tranquil.
Consciousness returned from the abyss, and the scattered divine sense re-condensed, transforming once again into a pure lotus.
However, on three of the petals, there was a radiant talisman, which was the spiritual essence of the three protective objects.
With a slight thought, Jiang Jun naturally separated a wisp of his divine sense, which landed on his fingertip, flowing like light smoke and shimmering with five-colored light.
He flicked his finger lightly, and the wisp of divine consciousness flew out of the window, landed on the willow tree, and lingered in the breeze for a long time.
This is the first change in the Fusion Realm.
The divine consciousness merged with the spirit of the strange creature, sublimating into [divine thought].
Each wisp of divine thought, if not erased by external force, can exist independently for several days.
"The first level of the Fusion Realm: Divine Union, finally done." Jiang Jun nodded in satisfaction and took out the folk notebook.
Turning to the back of the third page, with the completion of the "Divine Union", the colorful illustration of the "Divine Rooster Catching the Five Poisons Talisman" is fully revealed.
From then on, Jiang Jun could remotely sense and control the true form of this third protective artifact, just like the previous "Ghostly Prohibition" and "Ghostly Sorrow".
"After achieving the union of spirit and body, I have also gained some insight into the key points of the union of qi and body. However, true qi and yin qi are ultimately different, and I still need to carefully consider them."
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Jun realized that he was not confident in breaking through all three levels in time, so he put aside his obsession and waited for inspiration to strike again in the future.
"Waaah..." A strange crying sound rang out.
Jiang Jun frowned slightly and turned to look at the wooden box beside him, where the elite-level Huangjing Ghost Child was still imprisoned.
Thanks to the purifying effect of the Five-Colored Stone, he has been keeping the Yellow Essence Ghost Child with him these days, hoping to purify the eerie energy within it as soon as possible.
He unveiled the "divine rooster talisman," opened the wooden box, and found that the yellow spiky doll inside had already awakened and was crying like a child.
The crying seemed to possess a kind of demonic quality, making one feel pity and want to remove the talisman from its forehead and set it free.
Jiang Jun remained unmoved, instead threatening, "Scream again? Scream again and I'll eat you up!"
The little creature seemed to understand human speech, immediately shut its mouth, blinked its eyes as if they were filled with tears, and looked pitiful.
But with its mismatched eyes and distorted face, it didn't soften Jiang Jun's heart; instead, it made him even more hard-hearted.
Huang Jing Guiwa could tell he was unhappy, so he reluctantly closed his eyes, at least he was no longer in his way.
Jiang Jun picked up the wooden box and examined it for a moment, then suddenly noticed something was wrong: "Huh? You've grown leaves?"
On the top of the Huangjing Ghost Child's head, a thin, shiny, and tender green oval leaf suddenly emerged.
Jiang Jun casually pinched it, and the Yellow Essence Ghost Child couldn't help but whimper, pale yellow tears welling up in the corners of its eyes, emitting a strange fragrance.
A flash of light from the "Ghostly Prohibition" on the windowsill vanished without a trace, extinguishing the fragrance.
Jiang Jun released his grip and examined the leaf with great interest.
Although the original form of Huangjing Guiwa is Huangjing (a type of medicinal herb), after being transformed into a carnivorous monster, it becomes a monster that eats meat.
As a monster, it instinctively hates sunlight and has long since shed its stems and leaves on the ground, leaving only its fleshy roots underground, which have taken on a human form.
Now, nourished by the scent of the colorful stones, it has miraculously sprouted new leaves. Does this mean it can bask in the sun again, and even photosynthesize?
Thinking of this, Jiang Jun glanced out the window. It was a cloudy day outside, with only a few rays of sunlight filtering through, casting dappled shadows on the windowsill.
"Perfect, let you bask in the sun!" Ignoring the Huangjing Ghost Child's resistance, Jiang Jun placed the wooden box on the windowsill, letting the sunlight fall directly on the tender leaves.
"Eek—uh-uh..." Just as Huang Jing Guiwa was about to burst into tears, Jiang Jun covered her mouth.
Jiang Jun observed quietly, while simultaneously sending a wisp of his divine sense to the tender sprout, experiencing the changes from a first-person perspective.
Gradually, he began to notice something amiss.
Sunlight falls on the tender buds, is absorbed by the leaves, and gradually a faint wisp of energy is generated.
This energy was stored in the leaf, pulsating slightly, until the leaf was completely filled and could hold no more.
A portion of it seeped into the body of the Huangjing Ghost Child, where it annihilated the eerie energy within.
Jiang Jun could clearly feel that the Huangjing Ghost Child was in extreme pain at this moment. If it hadn't been sealed by the talisman, it would probably have jumped out and bit people.
Another portion of the energy is released back into the air through the stomata of the leaves.
Jiang Jun's divine sense captured this wisp of energy, and after a brief sensing, he discovered that it was perfectly peaceful, without the slightest hint of anything strange: "This is..."
With a thought, he absorbed this wisp of energy into his sea of consciousness, first imprinting it with his divine sense, and then repeatedly refining it with his true energy.
In the blink of an eye, this wisp of energy was refined by the true qi, merging with it into one, becoming inseparable.
Or rather, this is the newly refined true energy!
Jiang Jun felt a surge of immense joy.
The most important source of power for opening up the way to suppress things is finally in sight!
Ordinary demon tamers absorb demonic energy from outside the body, refine it through visualization, and obtain yin energy, which is the source of their power.
Previously, the only way to suppress an object was to draw power from the object itself.
Apart from Jiang Jun, who has the blessing of the original spirit of the spirit and can continuously obtain the power of the spirit as the spirit clone is promoted, other users simply cannot do this.
Even Cai Liang only had a chance to enter the sect because he obtained a power to suppress things through the transformation of merit and golden light.
Now, the leaf that Huangjing Guiwa has grown can actually convert sunlight into energy and become a source of true qi.
Jiang Jun's envisioned method of suppressing things was no longer a baseless concept, but had a foundation for widespread application.
He suddenly thought of a question: "Are the strange creatures purified by the Divine Bureau and other forces using divine objects the same as the strange creatures I purified with the Five-Colored Stone?"
"Will the purified Huangjing ghosts also grow leaves and transform sunlight into this peaceful energy?"
He guessed it couldn't be.
If this were possible, given the size of the Bureau of Mysteries, it could easily capture a large number of Huangjing Ghost Babies, purify them, and then mass-produce this energy.
In that case, true qi would have been widespread long ago, and Chinese cultivators wouldn't need to struggle with the demon-controlling system anymore.
Jiang Jun took a deep breath, and the pure lotus in his sea of consciousness swayed gently, soothing his turbulent emotions.
"This matter should not be publicized; we need to consider it carefully."
His gaze fell on the green leaf: "Hmm, this energy is neutral and peaceful in nature, and it can be transformed into true qi, so how about we call it 'spiritual energy'?"
"And the Huangjing ghost child that can generate spiritual energy, if it is completely purified in the future and transforms from a monster, can be called a [spiritual object] or a [spiritual plant]..."
