Chapter 4495 Chapter 4497 [Book of Devil]
"What a powerful artifact!" Xiang Nan didn't expect that the diamond he got would have such a great origin. It turned out to be the third eye of Lord Shiva.
You must know that among the Indian gods, Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu are the most famous and are known as the three main gods. Among them, Brahma is the creator god, Shiva is the destroyer god, and Vishnu is the guardian god.
In Buddhism, Shiva is also known as the "Great Self-Heaven", who lives at the top of the form realm, is the Lord of the Three Thousand Realms, and is even one of the incarnations of the Great Sun Tathagata.
But no matter what, Shiva is an incredible existence in the Hindu and Buddhist pantheons. The Diamond of the Mountain of Light was transformed by His third eye, which is naturally even more incredible.
Of course, based on Xiang Nan's understanding of the world, all the gods are not as powerful as imagined.
They are just the remnants of the last era, or the era before that. They are said to be the creator gods, omniscient and omnipotent, but in fact they do not have such a high status.
Just like Quetzalcoatl, in Mayan mythology and Aztec mythology, he is the **** of the sun, rain, wisdom, and harvest. He is extremely powerful. But in fact, Xiang Nan knew that Quetzalcoatl was almost dead.
And like Poseidon, said to be the **** of the ocean, possessing infinite power. As a result, I don’t know whether he is alive or dead now. Anyway, the people of Atlantis have long been unable to point to Him.
Therefore, Xiang Nan is now disenchanted with gods.
This diamond formed from Shiva's third eye should indeed have some magical effects, but it is by no means as powerful as in myths and legends. He is also omniscient and omnipotent, able to understand everything in the world. Release the fire of destruction again, enough to burn the entire world...
However, Xiang Nan was still very happy to get such a treasure.
After he continues to practice, improves his spirituality, and fully understands the teachings of Lord Shiva in the diamond, he can refine the diamond and turn it into his third eye.
…
In the days that followed, Xiang Nan began to learn the witchcraft in the "Book of Devils".
The Spanish Inquisition arrested many wizards, witches and heretics. Under torture and extortion, these heretics confessed all the witchcraft they knew, and then compiled it into a book, compiled into the "Book of the Devil".
Xiang Nan has already learned some of the witchcraft.
He learned a lot of new witchcraft from the black wizards of Voodoo, Tia Dalma, Davy Jones, Merlin Ambrosius, and the collection of Alexander the Great.
But there are still some witchcraft that he has not learned.
For example, there is a kind of witchcraft that allows you to summon monsters in the spirit world to do things for you; there is a kind of witchcraft that allows you to turn your shadow into your own substitute; there is a kind of witchcraft that allows you to enter other people's dreams...
These witchcraft are quite strange and practical.
Such as witchcraft to summon monsters. The monsters in the spirit world are very powerful and possess considerable abilities.
Some monsters are so powerful that they can move mountains and fill seas; some monsters are incredibly fast, as fast as lightning; some monsters are proficient in combat, with one fighting against a hundred; and some monsters are so gorgeous that they can surpass all the beauties and handsome men in the world...
And summoning them also requires different conditions. Some require money, some require blood, some require souls, and some require life... The more powerful the monster, the greater the cost of summoning.
In the 16th century, Countess Elisabeth Bartoli of Hungary sacrificed hundreds of girls to monsters in order to stay young forever.
Although she obtained the immortal appearance as she wished, she also angered the people under her rule because of her atrocities. In the end, she was killed by the angry people who rushed into the castle.
…
And shadow witchcraft can help you resist fatal attacks.
However, there are some restrictions when using it. It must be used when there is a shadow, and maintaining shadow witchcraft requires a certain amount of magic power. And dream witchcraft is even weirder.
It allows people to enter the other party's dream, do whatever they want, and even kill the other party in the dream. And once the other person dies in the dream, the other person will really die in reality.
It's so weird that it's really hard to guard against.
All in all, Xiang Nan really benefited a lot.
…
Three months later, Xiang Nan had read all of "The Book of Devils" and learned a lot of weird and dangerous witchcraft.
This also further improved his strength.
At this time, Xiang Nan's headache no longer hurt, and he began to practice "Forging Meditation Method".
This meditation method allows people to treat their mind and soul as a hard stone, beat it repeatedly, extract the impurities, and finally refine it into a piece of pure gold.
Xiang Nan immediately began to meditate, imagining his soul as a hard stone, and began to heat and forge it.
Suddenly, a fierce flame from meditation began to burn Xiang Nan's soul.
"Ah... it's hot... it's hot... my God..." Xiang Nan couldn't help shouting immediately. It felt more painful than burning with purifying fire.
But he knew that this was a crucial step and he had to endure it, so he gritted his teeth and continued to persevere. Then he began to meditate on a sledgehammer hitting his soul.
Xiang Nan trembled in pain with a heavy hammer blow. Not only his soul was trembling, but his whole body was trembling.
"No wonder it's considered a taboo. It's so painful and unbearable that most people can't stand it." Xiang Nan couldn't help but think.
Thanks to the fact that he has tortured himself for so many years, especially practicing the "Nirvana Sutra" and finding hardships on his own every day, his endurance is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be obvious that they would not be able to bear the first step of burning their souls. After all, it is the flames produced by meditation that burns one's soul.
That kind of pain is definitely not something ordinary people can bear.
But having said that, this is because Xiang Nan's spirituality is too strong, so the flames produced by meditation are too real and too lethal.
If you were an ordinary person, even if you meditate and your soul is burned by the flames, you won't be able to meditate at all. It would be nice to feel your body getting hot.
…
Although practicing meditation is very hard, Xiang Nan still works hard to persevere.
At first, he could only endure ten blows before the pain became too much.
But because the effect was really good, after practicing it, he really felt that his soul was much stronger and more condensed.
This allows him to easily perceive things within a hundred miles radius. It can be said that almost half of the island of Jamaica is within his range of perception.
Before that, Xiang Nan had practiced hard for two thousand years before his spiritual power could cover a sixty-mile radius. It can be seen that the effect of forging meditation is really powerful.
Therefore, no matter how uncomfortable it was, he continued to endure it and continued to practice.
Soon, as he practiced, Xiang Nan was able to insist on fifteen, twenty, thirty, fifty, one hundred strokes every day...
