NOVEL NEXT Chapter 13: The Gods Die and Incense Dissipates
The incense aroma on the body of the Golden Light God was chaotic and kept moving.
"Not enough!"
"It's too late, and I can't wait to collect the incense under Cuiping Mountain!"
"Although this method is killing the chicken to get the eggs, as long as it can break through, it's worth it!"
The Dharma body of the Golden Light God is clearly on the verge of collapse, but in his own perception, it is at the threshold of breakthrough.
Chen Ming was in the Soul Swallowing Jar, watching the Golden Light God go crazy, and couldn't help but feel cold in his heart.
Although Chen Ming's illusion played a role in the current state of the Golden Light God, it was more of the calculation of the person behind the scenes.
I don't know how much tricks were done in the incense aroma he absorbed.
Otherwise, how could the visualization realm suppress itself with the soul and spirit, and fall into madness so quickly.
What's more, the Golden Light God originally practiced the way of God, and the root of his cultivation was in the soul and spirit, but he couldn't resist it!
"Command!"
The Golden Light God shouted loudly, his Dharma body trembled, and he chanted a spell.
All those who believed in the Golden Light God felt a call from the bottom of their hearts. No matter what they were doing, they seemed to be possessed by a demon, and they threw it all away, just chanting the name of the Golden Light God, and wanted to dedicate themselves.
As the Golden Light God did it, a large amount of incense and fire gathered in the Divine Domain Dojo.
These incense and fire were different from the original ones. They were all dedicated by the believers of the Golden Light God. Among them, there were not only desires and thoughts, but also some scattered souls.
When those souls arrived at the Divine Domain Dojo and saw the Dharma body of the Golden Light God, they were all excited and shouted loudly to the gods.
The Golden Light God just glanced at it, and the Dharma body opened its mouth wide, generating suction, swallowing all the believers' incense and souls.
If the Golden Light God directly refined and swallowed it, the souls of those believers could not be transferred back from the Divine Realm, and they would only become idiots in the future.
This was originally a method of killing the chicken to get the eggs. Generally, Shinto monks would not destroy the Great Wall unless it was a matter of life and death.
Now the Golden Light God did just that.
The Golden Light God gathered all the incense he had accumulated since his practice in the Divine Realm Daochang, and could not squeeze out any more.
"Hahaha!"
"Now, break it for me!"
The Golden Light God shouted, and the incense condensed into a point and gathered at the center of his dharma body's eyebrows, trying to cultivate it into a golden divine flame.
"Boom!"
The incense at his brows burned instantly, completely covering the Golden Light God.
"The incense refines the dharma body, and I am the master of the Divine Realm!"
The Golden Light God recited two sentences in the burning incense, and gradually lost his voice.
Chen Ming saw everything clearly. The burning of the condensed incense did refine the Dharma body of the Golden Light God, making it purer. All the complicated thoughts in it were burned into dirt and fell by the Golden Light God Flame.
However, the soul of the Golden Light God was burned to death silently in the burning incense.
Moreover, he took the initiative to let the fire burn his soul, which was more like self-immolation and death in the illusion of breakthrough.
Only a golden divine body was left standing in the Divine Domain Dojo.
With the death of the Golden Light God, the divine body he left behind returned to its original size, and the Divine Domain Dojo also shrank and condensed.
"According to the method that Ling Yangzi practiced, at this point, the divine body should be refined and transformed into a magical power to achieve the state of concentration!"
"But this method is obviously a means of human calculation. How can I use it!"
Chen Ming's mind turned and urged the red spirit insect.
"Go, turn that Dharmakaya into Qi!"
The red spirit insect got Chen Ming's command and jumped out of the Soul Devouring Jar. Its body grew rapidly and its magical power emanated, returning the divine Dharmakaya to its origin.
The divine Dharmakaya was originally constructed and refined entirely from the incense and fire. After being hit by the red spirit insect's magical power, it fell apart in an instant.
It was transformed into incense and fire again, and even the desires and souls of believers mixed in it were revealed.
The red spirit insect opened its mouth and was about to swallow it.
Chen Ming stretched out his hand and the scattered souls were separated, escaping from the Divine Domain Dojo and returning to their own bodies.
"The rest are all yours!"
The red spirit insect squeaked twice, and its body shook. It swallowed up all the incense and fire thoughts in the Divine Domain Dojo, and then fell into the Soul Devouring Jar, curled up into a ball, and did not move.
Chen Ming sensed that it was the red spirit insect that had swallowed too many incense thoughts, mixed with various desires, and fell into a deep sleep. It was estimated that it would take some time to digest.
Just as the red spirit insect swallowed all the incense thoughts, all the statues and shrines dedicated to the Golden Light God in the mortal world turned into powder at this moment.
Those believers who had regained their souls and woken up were all stunned and confused about what they had just done.
In their minds, there was no memory of the Golden Light God, a god they had believed in for many years!
The Golden Light God completely disappeared from this world without a trace.
"This is how Shinto monks are. Once they die, there will be no trace, unless there are believers and incense again!"
"It's just that the gods reborn from the incense, although the name is the same, are not the original ones!"
Chen Ming sighed and his mind swept across the entire God Domain Dojo.
This God Domain Dojo was derived from a trace of divinity after the Golden Light God achieved the Dharma Body.
Now that the Golden Light God has fallen, that trace of divinity will gradually dim and eventually disappear without anyone to nurture it.
Chen Ming gathered that trace of divinity, turned it into a golden light, and put it into the Soul Devouring Jar.
The divine dojo suddenly disappeared, and the spirit-swallowing jar appeared out of thin air in the collapsed temple.
"The person behind the scenes will definitely feel the fall of the Golden Lord of Light, and they will arrive soon!"
"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. The sacred tree in the temple is also the target of that person. I have to take precautions early!"
With a thought, Chen Ming rolled up the spirit-swallowing jar, recited a spell, and escaped into the void. Relying on the connection between his soul and his body, he returned to Cuiping Mountain in an instant using a secret method.
The divine thought fell into the sea of consciousness and returned to its original position, and the lotus platform protecting the divine soul also lost its light.
Chen Ming opened his eyes, turned his palm, and the spirit-swallowing jar appeared in his hand.
Smoke filled the air behind him, and the bugs hiding in the smoke turned into streams of bugs and fell into the spirit-swallowing jar. With them, the flesh and blood soul of the female cultivator from the Shaoyi Sect merged into the body of the red spirit bug.
The red spirit insect is still sleeping.
It has swallowed up so many incense thoughts, plus the flesh and blood souls of several people from the Shaoyi Sect. When it wakes up, I am afraid it will have some good fortune.
Chen Ming put away the spirit-swallowing jar and ignored it for the time being, and took out a bit of golden light that had been transformed into the divine dojo.
After thinking for a while, Chen Ming cast that little golden light on the wooden heart of the sacred tree.
The sacred tree has also received incense, which can nourish the divine nature and stabilize the divine dojo.
The wooden core of the sacred tree received the golden light, swayed, and emitted green light, dipping the golden light into turquoise.
The golden light struggled several times, but was quite spiritual and refused to give in.
Seeing this, Chen Ming had an idea and recited a mantra, turning the life and death energy of the green wood, mixing the wood heart and golden light to refine it into a thing, which separated from the sacred tree and turned into a green seed with golden lines.
