"Huh? This is! Xiao Ying's (later renamed Houtu) surprised voice came from the air.

After accepting the gift from her predecessor, the fourth order of her spiritual lock was raised to the intermediate stage, and if the changes brought by her only increased her spiritual power tripled, it would not surprise her, what she was really surprised was the new power she gained when she reached the intermediate stage.

Immediately, she calmed down, and her will continued to penetrate deeper and deeper in her soul. Restraining thoughts, the will dives into the "thought layer" of the mind, skillfully avoiding one memory collection after another, passing through the "memory layer". She came to a place that Houtu had never reached before, a white world, where she felt one weak will after another, like an elephant and an ant compared to her will. However, the number of such weak wills is nearly sixty trillion, and at the moment of such a force, her will seems extremely weak.

"Wait, what is this power?" Feeling this power, Houtu's mind returned to the moment when he was alive, fighting the enemy and breaking through the fourth order, and it was with the power of this will that he was able to die with the enemy.

"No, it's not enough." Hou Tu's mind moved, and the will like a white point of light merged into her will, and the power she sensed became clearer and clearer······

Above the Yellow Spring, Hou Tu opened his eyes, and slowly raised his hand, only to see a small black ball the size of a thumb floating in the palm of his hand, and then suddenly grew to the size of a fist. As soon as she thought about it, the black ball fell into the Yellow Spring, continued to sink, and soon came to the junction of the Yellow Spring and the world of the living, covering the place of "the evil of this world", as the Houtu let go of the control of the black ball, the structure of the black ball began to collapse, turning into an unknown force and a part of the "evil of this world" disappeared.

"Can even malice be eliminated?"

Houtu is not only strengthened but also endowed with knowledge. The knowledge obtained from the memories of the predecessor knows that the power that the spirit lock can only awaken when it reaches the fourth level and can be freely used when it reaches the intermediate stage is the light that exists in the depths of the soul, the ultimate power called "light of the heart". The light of Houtu's soul is "nothing", that is, the power that can reduce all things to nothing, and after the test she just had, even the malice of "the evil of this world" can be dissolved. Come to think of it, the so-called ultimate power is indeed well deserved.

"Wait······" Houtu began to feel that something was wrong: "The previous me······ In "surprised"? ”

"Joy", "Anger", "Sorrow"······ None of them? Is it only "surprised".

"Hmm~, the fifth order above the fourth order is the existence called "saint" and "perfect person". Then, in the process of the fourth order to the fifth order, even a person with an incomplete soul can complete himself, gain feelings, and eventually become a complete person while ascending in rank. Strength? I've never been so hungry for power. ”

"Then it should be ······ next" Hou Tu raised his head, looked at the stone statue, folded his hands, closed his eyes, and an invisible spiritual power spread in the form of waves, and according to the method in his memory, Hou Tu connected with this stone statue called the body of the Hou Tu Sage. At the same time, the arm on the far right behind the stone statue with the fingers of the flower fingers moved, and the palm of the hand was spread out, and the palm was placed on the abdomen with the palm facing up. After doing all this, she let go of her hands and took a small step forward, but she crossed a distance of nearly a thousand meters and appeared in the palm of the stone statue's palm, and then sat down cross-legged. With the palms of his hands facing up, his thumbs pointing at each other, he closed his eyes and launched a spell called "The Art of Three Lives".

With the launch of the "Three Lives Technique", a part of the will and soul of Houtu separated from the main body and entered the interior of the stone statue along the arm, and appeared from the middle arm behind the back, that is, the palm of the arm holding the reincarnation, wrapped in a layer of loess brought from the stone statue and entered the reincarnation in a ball shape.

As the master of the six realms of reincarnation, Houtu cannot leave the realm of the reincarnation of life and death, and if she wants to make her strength go further and reach the fourth advanced stage, then there is no need to stay here any longer. As a result, the "Three Lives Technique" has become the best choice for Houtu to suppress the six realms of reincarnation while continuing to practice.

And what is the "Art of Three Lives"? "The Art of Three Lives" is a kind of sage technique that is known as linking the "past life", "this life", and "the afterlife", and there is a kind of practice in the cultivation system that is created with reference to the "Art of Three Lives", of course, the level of the method is several orders of magnitude lower than the original. The activation of the "Three Lives Technique" requires two necessary conditions, the power of the fifth order and the six realms of reincarnation, both of which are indispensable. Although Houtu only has the fourth-order intermediate stage, relying on the power in the body of the saint of the previous Houtu, she already has the conditions to activate the technique.

Unlike the cultivation method of the cultivation system, which can only be reincarnated in one world, the "Three Lives Technique" can be reincarnated in the universe of different dimensions, and the mud wrapped outside the soul is the power of the fifth-order saint, which is used to resist the "harmony" power from the crystal wall system when crossing other dimensions. At the same time, it is necessary to conceal the cosmic consciousness of the universe traversed, and then connect to the reincarnation-like system of the universe in which it is located, and complete reincarnation.

Of course, in order to avoid the influence of memories from past lives, reincarnated individuals will have their memories sealed and start a new life. Then, until death, or the will of the ontological body takes the initiative to unravel the "Three Lives Technique", then the split consciousness will carry with it the memory, power, and perception of reincarnation······ Everything returns to the essence. In this way, the part of the "Art of Three Lives" that connects the afterlife with this life is completed.

So how do you complete the part of your past life that connects you to this life? In the practice of the cultivation system, starting from the practice of this method is counted as the first life, and in the second life, you can regain the path of the first life. In this way, the accumulation of life after life, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, and finally achieve immortal fruits. Of course, this is the best result, and more cultivators die in the middle of their cultivation in successive lives, and their souls are gone, and there is no way to talk about their cultivation in the next life. The process of connecting the past life with the present life in the "Three Lives Technique" is different for the cultivation system, and the "I" in this life will fall into a dream to trace the past life at the same time as activating the technique, becoming a past life like a role-play, going through all kinds of previous lives, and after the life course of the previous life is over, you can choose to dissolve the technique, or play a role in a more previous life.

Although the lack of affection caused by the incomplete soul made Houtu reach the fourth-order intermediate stage with the help of his predecessor Houtu without having to go through the inner demons, it also made the threshold of the fourth-order advanced stage invisibly raised. Therefore, relying on the "Three Lives Technique", which is itself a technique of constantly reincarnating and accumulating oneself, to break through the fourth-order advanced stage, then it will be an incomparably long process. Of course, the spirit body makes the existence of Houtu beyond the limits of carbon-based life, and the time consumed by the "Three Lives Technique" is not so important.

Somewhere in the vast universe, there is such a planet, the size of the planet and the ecology are very similar to the earth of the solar system, but because of a special force scattered in nature, it has embarked on a different path from the earth, and the high concentration of the power of nature, which is tentatively called the power of nature, makes inorganic matter can also give birth to spiritual wisdom and become living beings. As a result, many incredible artifacts appeared in this world. A group of undead birds born of volcanoes and made purely of flames; Born in the sea, a group of sea dragons made of water and rocks; Born underground, the Earth Dragons are made of rock and soil; and the earth-born, towering Sacred Tree. And these are the gods called the four spirits, the apex of life on this planet, and the other races below them are just their food, and the human race is one of them.

The weak Terrans have always been food for their races, until the Divine Tree took pity on the Terrans, accepted the Terrans, and taught the Terrans how to absorb the power of nature for their own use. Soon, the Terrans who were helped by the Divine Tree Clan settled down, and during this period, the Terrans engraved the method of releasing the power of nature in their eyes, giving birth to a magical power called the White Eye, which can be passed down in the form of blood, relying on the power of this White Eye, the Terran continues to grow and develop in this land. In gratitude for the sacred tree, the Terrans changed their surname to "Otsuki", which means sacred tree. And worship the sacred tree as a god of the human race.

During the development of the human race, there were some outstanding human beings who invented a power called "Chakra", imagined the power of nature, and injected various concepts into it, and obtained the Chakra method called "Five Elements Escape", and successfully became an existence in the same position as the Four Spirits.

The Terrans have never stopped their steps, and with the development and research of Chakra, the mysteries of life have been solved. As a result, the method of Yin Yang Dun came into being, and as a high-level product of Yin and Yang Dun, the power of the reincarnation eye appeared in the human race and was passed down in the form of blood.

As the power called the Eye of Samsara was developed by the Terrans, the balance of power also tilted in favor of the Terrans, and the hatred of the past turned into a fuse, and the Terrans exterminated the other three spirits except the Sacred Tree, gained their powers, and discovered the secret of immortality. So, out of fear of death and greed for life, they set their sights on other creatures, from ants to giant beasts, and in order to live forever, the human race wantonly took the lives of other creatures.

After gnawing at living creatures like locusts, they left behind a desolate world. Eventually, the Terrans set their sights on the Sacred Tree, which they had originally worshipped as gods······
