Chapter 467: Evil Thoughts Enter the Body
Time flies, twenty-seven years later.
Dongyuguo, Ningzhou.
"It is said that that day in Falling Demon Valley, the ancient demons broke out of the seal and wanted to summon the demon army to invade our human world. When they learned about this, the Nine Kingdoms Alliance Wei Wuya and Senior Wei were furious and immediately gathered all the allies. The famous Senior Tian Nan fought hard for three days and three nights, and finally defeated the ancient demon who was in such a state of disarray that he fled..."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, it's Senior Wei and others who are in such a mess."
"You're talking nonsense. If Wei Wuya, Senior Wei and the others were in such a mess that the devil could win, and you and I could still be bragging here, I'd probably have been completely killed by the demonic army summoned by the devil."
"Hmph, how did you know the devil didn't win? I heard that the four major forces only lifted martial law in the past few years."
"Okay, okay, don't make any noise. Today is the day when Huang, Li, and Wang families open the spiritual spring and allocate spiritual tea to enlightenment. We only meet once in twenty years. Hurry up the mountain to avoid being late and being killed by the clan members. The elder scolded me, if I get angry, it is not impossible that we will be disqualified from enjoying the spiritual tea."
"What Brother Huang said is true. Stop bragging and hurry up."
A group of several people controlled simple flying instruments and wandered to the top of the mountain. The scene in front of them shocked them.
In the small spiritual spring pool located on the top of the mountain and jointly guarded by the three clans, there was a young man stepping in the pool in a grand manner at this moment. That was all. The heat outside his body was steaming, and the spiritual spring that had been accumulated for twenty years really evaporated quickly.
However, the elders of the three clans stood aside and did not dare to say anything about this matter.
After all, there were not many fools. The group of people were shocked and angry, but they did not shout to fight or kill. The three old men led by them also breathed a sigh of relief. If these juniors don't know how to measure, they will be destroyed. The person in front of them has a cultivation level far beyond them. Cognition, let alone standing in their spiritual spring to soak their feet, they would not dare to say a word even if the spiritual spring was taken away.
Han Li was a little helpless about their cautious attitude.
He is not a bully. He also grew up weak. He will not offend others unless they offend me. But it is no wonder that he is there. Who knew he would be teleported into the pool where others make tea.
"Okay, don't be afraid, Han's appearance here is just an accident!"
After Han Li checked himself, he found nothing wrong, so he left it to a few juniors. He also heard the conversations of the people who had just gone up the mountain. What caught his attention was that a key person was missing, so he asked: " The incident in the Demon Valley happened in your country, Dongyu, so why are you and others talking about it, only Wei Wuya and others?"
Several juniors looked stunned and looked towards their elders uneasily.
One of the old men in yellow shirts guessed without hesitation: "Senior, forgive me, their news is all hearsay. If senior wants to know something, I will tell you everything I know..."
"Hmm~"
Han Li nodded: "Then tell me, how did the news about Falling into the Demonic Valley spread outside?"
The old man secretly took a breath and explained the situation he knew in detail. It was not much different from what the previous juniors had discussed. It just added some content about the martial law in Tiannan in recent years. The so-called martial law was issued by the four major forces. Announcement, a demon has escaped from the Devil's Falling Valley and may be lurking somewhere in the south.
Hearing this, Han Li was a little surprised.
He knew about the demon soul. Brother Xu failed to catch it and let him run away. It was supposed that after the demon escaped from the trap, it would devour the monks and restore itself, but in the end, there was no movement.
Either the injury was too serious, or he ran away out of fear.
Han Li thought for a moment and asked directly what he was most concerned about. The old man thought hard and then suddenly said: "You are asking about the senior Xu who died with one of the ancient demons. I really don't know about this senior. He was four years ago." The major forces jointly announced to the world and spread the message of Senior Xu's righteous sacrifice, but they have not been mentioned much in recent years."
"Nonsense!"
Han Li opened his mouth, then shook his head and was speechless.
These sect forces probably saw that Brother Xu had not shown up for a long time, and they really thought that he was dead, so they could start to ignore his contribution and focus the protagonist of the limelight story on their own family.
But after not showing up for so long, it seems that the problem has not been resolved.
After thinking about it, he was anxious to go back and take a look, so he took out some things to compensate for the damage to the three spiritual springs. Then he turned into a rainbow and flew to the nearest Yue country. The journey was uneventful, and he arrived at the ancient teleportation array of Yue country. I saw that the body refiner guarding the teleportation array was still as usual, and then teleported to the far west without stopping.
Xu, who disappeared from Tiannan's sight, was currently preparing to go out in the far west.
There was no trouble when the two met, and they were both happy with each other.
"Junior Brother Han, congratulations!"
Xu Qingyang's appearance didn't seem to have changed much, but his aura became thicker. He was able to freeze a space just by standing there. However, Han Li's magic power was a bit disordered and he couldn't control his spiritual pressure. It was caused by his eagerness to break through. He smiled and said: "It's a little late, I'm afraid it will delay Brother Xu's time..."
"What's the hurry..."
"But it's okay, now that it's out, there's no need to wait!"
It is said that Xu Qingyang blasted open the space hole with all his strength, sucking himself and the ancient demon in, including Han Li and some unlucky ones. In the end, only three people survived through the space passage.
He, the Ancient Demon, and Han Li were already prepared.
Why do we say that they were prepared in advance? Xu Qingyang deliberately blasted open the passage, and he brought Han Li with him as a safety measure. The reason is that when he and Dayan Shenjun traveled in the void and explored the ruins of those worlds, they found many methods left by the ancient great powers. One of them was the arrangement against the demonic energy, which was found in almost every world ruin.
At that time, he had no spare energy, so he thought of borrowing the ancient cultivation restrictions to solve the problem once and for all.
The result was also very smooth. He held the ancient demon and successfully opened up a nearby ruin space.
After entering, the targeted restrictions left by the ancient great cultivators took effect. The ancient demon body, which had already self-disintegrated once, was considered to have lost its "immortality" and was wiped out in one breath.
Then things were simple, it was nothing more than going out again.
Moreover, they were lucky. The space they went to was the kind that Xu Qingyang could not enter before. There were many ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs growing in it. Xu Qingyang was not surprised, but Han Li was shocked. After figuring out the situation, he decided to stay to promote the growth of herbs, and use the spiritual environment of the space to practice, and wait for Xu Qingyang to be ready outside before going out.
Originally, he should have come out earlier, but at the end, Han Li could not help but try it once.
As a result, he broke through the middle stage of the Nascent Soul directly.
"Brother Xu, I have mastered the second level of the Tongbao Jue of the Xutian Ding. It can not only open and close, but also drive the unique magical power of this treasure. If this trip is the same as Brother Xu's analysis, there should be no problem." Han Li flipped his hand and took out a small tripod, looking quite confident.
Xu Qingyang was happy in his heart. Everything was ready, only the east wind was missing.
"Junior Brother Han, you should take some time to fix your cultivation and then prepare to set off!" Han Li nodded, and then said with some concern: "Brother Xu, how did you solve the previous problem?"
Speaking of this, Xu Qingyang's expression became serious.
He shook his head, signaling Han Li not to worry. After Han Li left to retreat, Xu Qingyang came to a secret room, and saw a huge corpse tied to a stone platform. As soon as the corpse heard the noise, it immediately struggled, and the silver chain on its body kept flashing. Xu Qingyang acted as if he didn't hear it, strode up to it, and observed it expressionlessly for a while.
"Xu kid, it seems that you are not so irritable?"
Looking closely, Bai Xiaojiang's face is still ferocious and crazy, but according to their observations and research over the years, this guy's collapsed spiritual wisdom has signs of re-birth.
This is expected, but it shouldn't be so fast.
Xu Qingyang paused for a moment, a faint black mist appeared on his face, and a purple-gold light appeared in his eyes, which looked a bit evil. After a while, he took out a long ice crystal jade box from the storage bag and spread it out. Inside, rows of silver needles of different sizes were arranged in an orderly manner.
He waved his hand and the silver needles fell into his hands one by one.
"Swish, swish, swish~"
Xu Qingyang manipulated with both hands alternately, and the silver needles were inserted into the acupuncture points of Bai Xiaojiang's body according to a certain pattern. As he operated, Bai Xiaojiang's face gradually appeared with the same black air.
"Roar~!"
The black air gathered in Bai Xiaojiang's mouth, forming a black light ball.
At the same time, the black air on Xu Qingyang's face seemed to be pulled and slowly flowed into Bai Xiaojiang's mouth, until all the black air on his face disappeared, and the purple light in Xu Qingyang's pupils disappeared. The whole person seemed to be exhausted. He took a few deep breaths and said to himself: "Intelligence, derive the thinking deviation value!"
"Task has been executed, sorting"
Rows of data tables appeared, and the cycle was extended to the battle of the Fallen Demon Valley. There was a row of the most significant solid lines on it, which was his thinking and behavior logic in similar situations in the past, and a row of dotted lines was the difference in the past twenty years.
Most of them overlapped, but in recent times, they have been farther and farther apart, and the two lines have separated in many places.
Every time he saw this scene, Xu Qingyang was extremely vigilant.
Back then, he rashly used the Blood Demon Sword, which led to the invasion of demonic thoughts. In order to solve this extremely difficult problem, he and Dayan Shenjun made many attempts.
The most effective method was the behavior just now.
Through Bai Xiaojiang's corpse, he sucked away the demonic energy that was born in his body. The effect was very good in the first twenty years or so, but it could not be eradicated. In the next six or seven years, the effect began to degenerate. It cannot be said to be degeneration, but it can be said that the real problem was exposed. He actually did not contain the key point before.
The demonic energy is just a derivative thing, and the key is still his demonic thoughts.
This thing has no specific substance at all. It is similar to the inner demon encountered by the cultivators, or even more serious. Once it starts to grow, it is good to be discovered, and it is extremely difficult to eradicate it.
Dayan Shenjun didn't know how he monitored it, but he knew from his face that it was not getting better.
"If it doesn't work, we'll set off for Dajin now."
"According to my previous travels, the orthodox Buddhist sects in Dajin have some tricks, especially for the problem of demonic invasion. They have done the most in-depth research. Many of their skills and magical powers are aimed at the inner demons. Some even actively become demons to enhance their Buddha nature and cultivate extremely powerful Buddhist magical powers. Buddha and demons are indistinguishable, two sides of the same coin..."
Xu Qingyang listened quietly for a while and said to himself: "After this operation is over, we will set off immediately!"
In the past thirty years, Xu Qingyang has not only hidden himself from outsiders, but also regularly used Bai Xiaojiang to devour the derived demonic energy to control the deterioration of the situation, and has not fallen behind in the advancement of his own skills.
Just as he and Dayan Shenjun designed at the beginning, two versions have been passed.
The first version of the technique was abandoned in the third year after he came out of the Demon Valley. The second version solved many of the previous problems and was expanded again. He was basically able to adapt to the many problems caused by the change of recipes. This period lasted for twenty years. He practiced and improved while practicing. In the past two years, they perfected the third version, which is also the last ordinary transition version.
Under the blessing of this version of the human ancestor's food-transforming technique, the slowed-down transformation has made rapid progress again.
First, thanks to the improvement of the effect of the technique, he can well melt all things. Second, thanks to the cultivation of strange insects, he basically no longer relies on monster blood food, or even herbal elixirs.
Most substances can be directly refined and swallowed.
His appetite is so big that the eclipse island is a bit exaggerated. Over the years, many islands in the Chaos Star Sea have disappeared forever.
The biggest feature of changing the recipe dependence is that his requirements for quality are no longer constrained. No matter whether it is high-level or low-level, as long as the quantity is sufficient, the third version of the food-transforming technique can be fully satisfied. The only advantage of high-level resources is that it can be used as a means to quickly replenish combat consumption.
"First generation human race·Total simulation progress: 43.667%"
After learning more, Xu Qingyang readjusted his cognitive framework. The completion of the current stage is not a one-time thing.
The real immortal body is still far away from him. Even the giant seems to have only a few bones left. What the original human ancestor is like is also a process that needs further cognition.
Since there is a specific reference gap, the stages can be divided more clearly.
After completing this stage, he dare not guarantee that he can reach the level of the first generation of human race. Recalling the reaction of the demon soul and the characteristics of the thousand-foot giant, the first generation of human race is too far away from him. At least it has to be benchmarked above the level of transformation, and it is not surprising that the cultivators have reached the level of refining the virtual body.
After completing this stage, the next stage is to truly touch the human ancestor.
Back to the point, since meeting Luo Hou in the Chaos Star Sea, his progress has skyrocketed. Now it has been almost sixty years, and his progress speed can only be said to be barely maintained at an ordinary level.
There is nothing to elaborate on the reason. These years have been for this effort.
At first, he was limited by resources, then he had some ideas and thoughts, and now he has basically walked through the beginning of the road. If he can complete the second round of the transition of the skills, that is, replace the skills carrier with silver seal characters, until the golden blood stage of the complete body, it will be a very fast running process.
And this step requires a trip to the grassland.
After coming out of seclusion, he has sent people to contact the Mulan people to make preliminary preparations. About three months after Han Li returned, the Mulan people's information feedback came back, and he was waiting for him to meet and discuss.
However, it is true that if you don't leave the retreat, nothing will happen, but once you come out, things will come to you one after another.
