How could the separated soul and essence of Lao Qin become three pestilential worms!
This really makes one shiver with fear and baffled.
The three worms fell onto the ground full of stones, struggling and wriggling, trying to crawl towards the direction of the coffin!
From the look of it, they seem to be heading back to Lao Qin's body!
Lao Gong's demeanor is also one of trembling with fear and being baffled.
"What's going on... Wait a minute..."
"Where is Lei Ping Taoist? Come out! Come out quickly!"
My breathing is becoming heavier and heavier.
How could Lei Ping Taoist possibly come out?
After someone has evolved their yang spirit, they can only be seen by a specific person. All I can see is the vast sky.
I can see Lei Ping because he has taken on the identity of Tian Shou Taoist, and Tian Shou Taoist can be considered a fortunate person to inherit from Lei Ping's master.
There's definitely something wrong with this!
However, there's no time to analyze where the problem lies in front of us; we need to deal with the current trouble!
Extracting the Gao Tian Sword, he suddenly flung it out!
The tip of the sword directly impaled a solidified three pestilential worm.
A strange transformation occurred again; the three pestilential worms instantly became the soul and essence of Lao Qin, struggling and twisting constantly.
During the struggle, Lao Qin's part of the soul moved forward, and was cut by Gao Tian's sword into half of its lower body. Later, it shrank again, becoming a wriggling three pestilential worm!
I advance forward with a step, and Gao Tian staff heavily smashes another three pestilential worm with a green hue. It instantly explodes.
In that moment, one could still see it transform into Lao Qin's form. It was the soul and essence of Lao Qin dispersing, the grey mist surging in all directions, struggling to condense.
The third white three pestilential worm is almost at the coffin, and Lao Gong opens his mouth but closes it, afraid to swallow.
I raised the Gao Tian staff and threw it out, striking the white three pestilential worm, smashing him back into Lao Qin's soul body, which then collapsed into gray mist again.
Picking up the Gao Tian sword quickly again, I stabbed at the blood-colored three pestilential worm that had recovered, cutting it multiple times, just as I had with the others, returning it to its original form and then cutting it into gray mist.
For a moment, the grey mist in the stone room kept surging without stopping.
I quickly walked to the coffin, but I saw that the Lao Qin inside the coffin was floating on the water surface. He had no three pestilential worms on him at all...
"This is very strange..." Lao Gong's eyes were darting around, and his head was sweating profusely.
I also had sweat pouring down my back, and I was particularly perplexed.
"If not, let them go back in, or just seal the coffin..." Lao Gong's lips were twitching.
I firmly shook my head, saying that wouldn't work.
My breathing became even heavier, my thoughts were too many, too chaotic, and the feeling of a splitting headache kept coming on.
The separated soul and essence of Lao Qin appear again.
They did not maintain the form of soul and essence for long; they shrank, wriggled, and became three worms that continued to move closer to the coffin.
I once again dispersed them, but I clearly felt that they did not weaken because of their disintegration.
"Is it the Taigong Spring that erased the body poison?"
"The three pestilential worms are ethereal, the product of the heart demon's proliferation. This is information we already know."
"Its origin has never been the body! It comes from the soul!"
Between the headache and panting, without pausing, I trembled and exclaimed, "What they know is not all because the true emergence of the yang spirit is between life and death. No one can communicate information, and no one can leave records. Is Master Lei Ping truly successful in emerging his yang spirit because of Taigong Spring?"
"The state of mind, he transcended it."
"Then why does he need Taigong Spring?"
"The state of mind transcended, itself will not have three worms flowing out, he himself believes that Taigong Spring has helped him take the final step. In fact, he can achieve it on his own!?"
"Master Gao Tian also took the final step relying on himself. After being fallen from his realm, the poison of the three pestilential worms appeared."
"Taigong Spring removed the body poison, but it could not erase the problem with the soul itself. If the state of mind is insufficient, the three worms will still arise. However, this is not because of a virtual illness caused by the soul, but because of the divided soul itself. The three worms are a manifestation of this."
I delivered my words rapidly one after another.
"No... it's still not right. The three pests are the heart demon, and when the heart demon is divided into three, the process of overcoming the three pests is the process of emerging the yang spirit, which is... the process of severing the three pests."
"Then... there should be true talent."
"Lao Qin didn't forget me; he has become the core soul that I mentioned. His three souls are the very essence of the heart demon and three pestilential worms themselves. He has true talent, which is his core soul, but he cannot resist the three pestilential worms... where is he?!"
During the earlier fight, I felt like I had understood something, though it was elusive. Perhaps the enlightenment made me understand the essence of the three pestilential worms.
Taigong Spring is not a shortcut!
It is a brief elimination of danger, which may prevent people from facing the greatest threat of the three pestilential worms before taking the final step, as the body poison caused by heart demons will completely disappear. However, it will still face the greatest threat at the final step when the soul and essence are separated into actual three pestilential worms!
Being able to control the body poison will gain experience and possibly overcome the soul poison of the heart demon!
This is equivalent to drinking poison to stop thirst!
It was Lei Ping Taoist's emergence of the yang spirit that caused this misunderstanding.
It was the superficial effect of Taigong Spring that led me to believe this answer.
It was the false rumors that spread among all Taoists, causing them to believe that Taigong Spring can make people forget the three pestilential worms and emerge their yang spirit!
The many Taoists were too eager, but no one had thought about it being a lie that everyone was making up for themselves!
One cannot drink the Taigong Spring! Once consumed, the outcome will inevitably be tragic. Perhaps one can only choose to end one's own life prematurely rather than undergo a transcendental transformation to be reborn. Otherwise, if you undergo a transcendental transformation, you will face the heart demon that you never imagined, and thinking it is because of your own strength. The result will inevitably be divided into three, no longer having an ego or true self!
He Yun should stick to his own body, that is the correct way!
"Dad, what are you daydreaming about? I don't understand what you're saying, quickly come up with a plan. Your master has turned into a sickening little bug again!" Lao Gong's shrill voice was shouting in my ear.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down as much as possible.
Quickly pulling out a chamber pot, I filled it with water and quickly walked to one of the three pestilential worms. I reached out and quickly picked up the worm's body. It was about to crawl into my fingers, and I didn't hesitate, throwing it into the chamber pot with Taigong Spring inside.
The result was that the upper worm in the water moved comfortably, and it did not form an image of Lao Qin's soul. It also did not make any attempts to emerge.
I then pinched the other two three pestilential worms and threw them into the chamber pot as well.
"Hissing..." Lao Gong was stunned by this scene.
"Dad... what are you doing again? They can't enter your hand, right? This soul poison is different... how can you not be afraid?" Lao Gong murmured.
"Solidified three pestilential worms and solidified heart demons are Lao Qin's, not mine. I use Taigong Spring to break the body poison. They cannot make me spawn virtual three pestilential worms. In fact, those illusions are also Lao Qin's. Normal people being invaded by others' three pestilential worms only need to adhere to themselves and will definitely come to their senses, because that is not their essence."
"My essence is not enough, I haven't reached that level, and my body has not been artificially enhanced. Therefore, even if they can crawl into my body, they won't really affect me. It's like a ghost taking over a body, but it cannot fully take over."
"Taigong Spring can deceive a Taoist, making him believe that he will not be plagued by the three pestilential worms. Invisible to others, it has become a cradle for the real three pestilential worms. That's why they are so comfortable in the spring water." I explained.
Lao Gong was still puzzled. He then bent his head to think and muttered, "You can't make me keep these little things at home, can you? I'm afraid they might crawl into my brain and turn me into a three pestilential worm too."
I was silent, shook my head and said, "Lao Gong, you don't have that level of cultivation. However, after we go out, we can change to a different container."
As I spoke, I walked to the front of the coffin and looked at Lao Qin's body.
Although there was no change in Lao Qin's body, I felt as though he was smiling with a very intense grin.
My thoughts became complicated and sad again.
"Am I analyzing it correctly? You old fart, you're so not providing any convenience. What have you been eating?" I muttered a few words, but my face immediately changed again.
"No good, something's about to happen!" I exclaimed in alarm.
"What are you doing, dad? You're scaring the hell out of me! Calm down." Lao Gong looked unhappy and gave me a glare.
