Chapter 218 The Truth
At the fish market pier, feeling the increasingly heavy breathing on his back, Ah Qing was anxious but helpless.
The dark fog around him was getting thicker, like a ghostly fantasy. There was thunder in the distance just now, but now there was only dead silence, and the chirping of birds and insects disappeared. At most, there were waves and waves, hitting the black-sailed boats, and the shadows were swaying endlessly.
At this time, the gloomy and invisible soldiers around him gave him a sense of security.
Suddenly...
In the darkness, a flash of lightning came quickly and jumped into the field in an instant.
Ah Qing was startled, and before she could react, she saw the wind and thunder dissipate, revealing a light boat.
The light boat was shining and suspended in the air. There was also a person on the boat. Who else could it be but Xu Yang?
Xu Yang looked at her, said nothing, and waved his sleeves.
Then, there was a dazzling light, and the world was spinning.
When consciousness recovered, the person was already standing on the flying boat, but the shadows were gone.
Xu Yang did not explain, and with his magic power, the flying boat flew away again, directly into Wuze Lake.
Although it was just a low-level magic weapon made casually, its speed was much faster than ordinary escape lights.
In just a moment, it returned to the nest.
The flying boat landed smoothly, but Ah Qing was still in shock.
Things developed too fast, and she couldn't accept it for a while.
"Let me see it."
But Xu Yang didn't care about it, and he came to her and stretched out his hand.
Ah Qing was startled, then woke up, and quickly put down her brother behind her.
Xu Yang stepped forward and saw that the little child was breathing very heavily, and there were fine scales and scarlet spots on his face and neck. There was blood oozing under the scales, and there was a tendency of erosion.
Xu Yang looked at it for a while: "Although there is not much demonic energy in his body, because his body is too weak, he still can't resist the erosion, and now he is transforming into a demon."
"This...!"
Although he didn't know what demonic energy was, Ah Qing understood the meaning of this sentence very well. He immediately knelt on the ground and said helplessly: "Great, great immortal, please save my brother, save my brother, I will repay you by working like a cow or a horse, I will repay you!"
Xu Yang shook his head, without saying a word, and only pressed one hand on the boy's forehead.
Then, the lightning reappeared, dazzling.
In the light of thunder, wisps of undercurrents evaporated, and all the demonic energy disappeared.
The boy's body trembled, his face showed pain, the scales on his body fell off, and his flesh and blood were charred.
Thunder is the pivot of heaven and earth, with endless creation, life and death, yin and yang, it is the source of destruction and the beginning of creation.
Thousands of years of hard training, thousands of years of research, as well as the inheritance of ancient immortals and gods, and the creation of the Wandao Academy, Xu Yang's attainments in thunder magic are beyond words.
Even without the blessing of the characteristics of "Dao Fa Tian Shi", he can control thunder at will, whether it is magic battle, martial arts battle, or alchemy, talismans, arrays, all are easy to capture.
Extraordinary attainments.
But what can I do...
The evil spirit is deep-rooted, like a maggot on the heel. Although thunder can be refined, it is inevitable to cause some harm.
This is just like taking medicine. Medicine is three-point poison, and it will cause some harm to the patient.
If the patient can bear it, then it will be cured, but if he can't bear it...
Looking at the boy with a painful face, Xu Yang shook his head and withdrew his mana.
As soon as the mana was withdrawn, the thunder disappeared immediately, and the boy fell to the ground limply. The scales on his body were still there, but they had stopped growing.
Ah Qing was startled and stepped forward to help, but she was afraid of making mistakes, so she could only look at Xu Yang in fear.
Xu Yang sighed and said faintly: "It's only a temporary solution. If you want to solve the problem once and for all, you have to find another way."
After that, regardless of Ah Qing's reaction, he took the small bamboo basket from his waist and threw it into the open space.
"Huh!"
As soon as the bamboo basket was released, a spiritual light appeared and a figure appeared. It was a woman.
Li Suhong!
She was naked from the waist and her clothes were torn, but she didn't look sexy at all. A lot of flesh and blood, like silk, wrapped around her right shoulder and arm, as if a foreign body had grown. Even the sword in her hand was entangled and covered, and the hilt became flesh and blood, with only the sharp blade of the sword exposed.
"Is this... Miss Li?"
Seeing Li Suhong like this, Ah Qing was also shocked.
Xu Yang didn't say much, and used thunder in his palm to urge it out.
He didn't kill her and spared Li Suhong's life. Of course, it was not out of pity for her. He just saw that this woman had not been completely demonized, so he could do an experiment to see if he could refine the demonic energy in her body, reverse her demonization, or even completely eliminate her demonic nature.
As a cultivator, her physique is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and she should be able to withstand the thunder demon refining method.
As soon as he said it, Xu Yang urged his magic power, and the thunder flowed like water, and it was driven out with his palm and injected into Li Suhong's body.
"Uh!!"
Although he was suppressed by the talisman and unconscious, Li Suhong still let out a low groan under the stimulation of his body.
Thunder refining demons is very stimulating, and wisps of dark mist evaporated and turned into flying ashes and annihilated into nothingness.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
With crisp sounds, the blood and flesh threads broke.
Not only did the thread break, but even the clotted flesh and blood were shrinking rapidly, first drying up and turning yellow, then dark purple and black, and finally turning gray and weathered. The breeze blew away, revealing the new white skin.
In just a moment, the demonic phenomenon disappeared, and the flesh and blood were no longer seen, only the beautiful jade body was placed in the thunder.
Seeing this, Xu Yang frowned, without any joy.
The demonic transformation was indeed stopped, allowing her to return to human form.
But... it was still a temporary solution, not a permanent cure.
The demonic energy in her body is still difficult to refine.
If she forces it, even if she can finally refine the demonic energy, her life will be hard to save.
In this world, the entanglement between Yuanling and demonic energy is so deep-rooted?
Or is it that his attainments in thunder magic are too low, and he cannot both refine the demonic energy and protect the other party's life?
Both!
Xu Yang has always known that his attainments in thunder magic are indeed extremely superb, even perfect, from the perspective of mortals, but they are only from the perspective of mortals.
In the eyes of real immortals and gods, in front of the real thunder of heaven and earth, his little tricks are not up to par at all.
So at this moment, he can't do it, he can't both refine the demonic energy and protect the other party's life.
There are still shortcomings, many shortcomings.
But Xu Yang is not discouraged, but a little happy.
Insufficient means that there is still room for improvement and the possibility of growth.
In cultivation, we are not afraid of the difficulty of the road, but we are afraid of no road.
Only by going a hundred feet higher and further can we reach the pinnacle and become a saint.
…
“Hmm!”
The magic power was withdrawn, the thunder disappeared, and Li Suhong also woke up slowly, looking around with a slightly confused look.
Seeing the stranger in front of her, she sat up in panic, and found that her clothes were torn to pieces, and she was naked. She was even more terrified. She didn’t have time to sort out her thoughts, so she raised her sword to support her body.
However…
Xu Yang didn’t even look at it, and used his sword as a pen. Another talisman was shot out from the air, turning into a spiritual light and rushing into her eyebrows, suppressing her mind again, leaving her uncontrolled body standing on the ground like a sculpture.
“Look at her.”
Xu Yang threw a word, and then turned around and walked towards his hut without caring about Ah Qing’s reaction.
Ah Qing stood there, watching him leave, and then looking at Li Suhong, who was naked and looked like a sculpture, and didn’t know what to do for a while.
But this had nothing to do with Xu Yang. He came to the house, in front of the altar, took out the soul of Taoist Zhu Yang that he had specially kept before, and prepared to start soul searching.
This Taoist Zhu Yang, who has completed the foundation building, is a powerful person in the area, even though he is a casual cultivator. Even Yu Wenjie and Shen Hongyu, the Daxing Immortal Seekers, have to give him face, and even cooperate with him to divide the Wuze Spirit Fish.
Unfortunately, he met Xu Yang.
Needless to say, the power of thunder magic is even more restrained against demons and evil cultivators.
Even if there is a big gap between Qi Refining and Foundation Building, the demon-tainted cultivators can hardly resist the thunder of the righteous law. After only three rings, their lives are over.
Death is a matter of course.
Immortality is unusual.
Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly, and the heavens merged into the Tao. Now he has superior qualifications and superior skills. Even if he can't cross the border to fight in the early stage, what's the point of cultivating immortals? Just find a place to crash into death, so as not to embarrass himself and waste resources.
...
Compared to fighting in life, searching the soul after death is more troublesome.
Although a dead ghost can't pose a threat to him in any way, it is inevitable that the information is incomplete when searching the soul.
What Xu Yang lacks now is information. He must understand the situation of this world and this demonic domain, and figure out what is going on. Only in this way can he break through the desperate situation and escape.
That's right, desperate situation, even for him, it is a desperate situation.
Long before everyone else, he noticed the changes in the heaven and earth and the changes in the demonic flow, and went out at the first time, ready to protect himself and escape thousands of miles away.
Then he found that this place had become a desolate domain.
The demonic energy was surging, and the sky and the earth were sealed. There seemed to be a psychedelic formation, and there was no way out at all.
Xu Yang was very surprised by this.
You know, he is a fourth-level formation master.
Although his cultivation is too low and his magic power is not enough, many methods cannot be used, but his vision is still there.
Even if there is no way out, it can be seen that this demonic domain is terrifying.
Xu Yang even has a feeling that this demonic domain is not just a formation, but also contains a power that he cannot understand at present.
What power?
It is unknown.
But one thing is certain.
That is, he is trapped, trapped in this demonic domain.
This is an unexpected and unplanned development.
Xu Yang has no good solution for this, he can only take it one step at a time and try to break the situation.
How to break it?
First of all, we must figure out our own situation.
Knowing ourselves and the enemy, we can fight a hundred battles without danger. If we don't know the situation of the enemy and ourselves, how can we talk about breaking the situation and winning?
Therefore, Xu Yang needs information that can help him sort out all the important information that can make the situation clear.
It is so important that we must use means to ensure that there is no mistake.
First, burn incense to the altar, and then order the ghosts and gods to urge them.
It is still the Yinshan Jifa, the Five Dangerous Soldiers.
In addition to fighting, this method actually has many functions. The various types of Five Dangerous Soldiers trained are even more responsible and specialized.
For example, the "Five Dangerous Patrolling the River and the Lake" he has cultivated now is the "water army" among the Five Dangerous Soldiers. They can mobilize the power of the rivers and lakes, move very quickly in the water, and have various spells, and have strong water combat capabilities.
Now, Xu Yang is even more ready to draw five Yin ghosts to train a team of "Five Dangerous Soul-Cuffing and Soul-Asking" to help him search for souls.
Although it may seem like sharpening weapons before a battle, it is better to have them than not, right?
Soon, the five ghosts were refined and entered the altar.
Xu Yang sat cross-legged, cast a spell with all his strength, and began to search the soul.
"Ah!!!"
With a shrill scream, memories flowed and information emerged, like a page of a book being turned and presented before his eyes.
"Demon?"
"Ancient Immortal?"
"Spiritual Treasure?"
"Corpse?"
"Demon Realm?"
"Demon Tribulation!"
"Nine Sects will meet and ascend to heaven?"
"Three great forbidden lands, nine great demonic domains?"
"Demon seeds, demon fetuses, demons, real demons?"
"Five internal organs pill method, demon fetus beheading method, corpse transformation method..."
The secret method, the soul flew away, only the memory flowed out like a stream.
Xu Yang sat on the futon, and opened his eyes for a long time.
"So that's it, so that's it!"
"The test of demon nature, the method of corpse transformation!"
"Sealing the forbidden land, the disaster of demon catastrophe!"
"Is it a ray of hope in the desperate situation?"
"Could it be...the will of heaven?"
Xu Yang murmured, and he had sorted out everything.
All this has to start from a very long time ago.
Long ago, this world was an ordinary Yuanling cultivation world.
Although there were no gods and Buddhas like the Taoist world, there were also many ancient immortals who relied on the Yuanling of heaven and earth to practice, and even the inheritance of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism.
According to Taoist Zhu Yang's memory and Xu Yang's own comparison, the strength of these ancient immortals is far inferior to the gods and Buddhas in the world of Taoism. At most, they are at the level of the combined power of the real world, or the level of the Mahayana True Immortal, or even worse.
Although these ancient immortals have limited strength, the resources of this world are extremely rich, and the Yuan Ling of the heaven and earth is very abundant, which is very suitable for Yuan Ling practitioners. Therefore, there is also a prosperous era of cultivation. Various sects and schools have prosperous inheritances, and there are many spiritual treasures as the foundation, and the luck is continuous and the incense is prosperous.
Until later, the demon came to the world!
Where did the demon come from?
No one knows.
It is only known that the demon is treacherous and evil, and it is a taboo that is a disaster in the world, and it is not tolerated by heaven and earth.
The ancient immortals fought with them, and the world was turned upside down and blood flowed like a river.
In that battle, the ancient immortals stained the sky with blood, and the demons also suffered countless casualties.
In the end, the "Gate of the Demon" was sealed, and the ancient immortals won a tragic victory.
But this tragic victory was really a tragic victory. Not only did they kill a thousand enemies, but they also lost eight hundred of their own, and in the end they were unable to completely eliminate the disaster of the demon.
Although the demons were defeated, there were still three magic weapons nailed to this world, forming three dead ends that even immortals could not enter.
In addition to the three dead ends, there were also nine demon realms, which were also the scourge left by the demons.
The combination of the two polluted the world, causing the Yuanling and the demonic energy to combine and gradually evolve into the Yuanling demonic energy.
Although the remaining ancient immortals also wanted to eradicate these three dead ends and nine demon realms, after many attempts, they found that behind these three dead ends and nine demon realms, there seemed to be a connection with the world of demons, and the world of demons provided continuous support.
The ancient immortals tried several times, even at the cost of destroying everything, but they failed to eradicate this dead end demon realm.
In desperation, the ancient immortals could only choose to ascend and go to the upper realm to find a way to destroy the demons and save the world.
But like the ascenders in the world of Taoism, the ancient immortals who ascended all disappeared without a trace, and no one returned to solve the demon disasters and catastrophes until the last ancient immortal who stayed behind passed away.
The evil will not be eliminated, and the evil calamity will not be eliminated.
The primordial spirit is full of evil, treacherous and filthy.
In this case, how can one practice?
Therefore, after the last ancient immortal passed away, there was no immortal in this world.
Until later, the immortal method of corpse reincarnation was introduced to the world.
