Moonlit Cave, a quiet and secluded retreat.

Bai Cang sat cross-legged, surrounded by a variety of exotic flowers and plants swaying gracefully in the moonlight.

Some are vines that pull at you, some are tendrils that extend to the ground, some hang down the cave walls, and some are like coiled dragons.

Black hair entwines the jade wall, and green jade hangs from the cassia eaves.

"boom!"

Suddenly, the seventy-second mystical aperture opened.

Bai Cang suddenly felt that all seventy-two mysterious apertures had suddenly become connected.

However, they are clearly distinct, with each group consisting of thirty-six orifices, facing each other in pairs.

Bai Cang calmed his mind and looked inward, only to find that the celestial map within the "Pot Heaven Space" had become much more complex.

There are thirty-six stars on each side, which intertwine to form mysterious and unfathomable ancient inscriptions.

His face suddenly became crystalline, radiating a faint glow, and the divine patterns interwoven with pure white cold flames were reflected in the star map at this moment.

Together with the two ancient seal characters, they faintly intertwined to form a five-colored phoenix, its wings like clouds hanging from the sky, encompassing two constellations, or like two star maps, outlining two wings.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Suddenly, Bai Cang had a flash of inspiration. With a thought, he saw the five-colored phoenix gently flapping its wings.

Tiny particles of silver light manifested from unpredictable spacetime.

Then they coalesced into strands of silver threads, continuously merging into the space of the pot-shaped heaven.

In a short while, the "Pot Heaven Space" expanded by nearly half a foot in diameter.

"This is... the purest and most pristine power of the void?"

Bai Cang thought to himself, "Could this be the correct way to perform the drinking ceremony?"

When his cultivation level reached seventy-two apertures, "Yin You Yi" was indeed integrated into the cultivation system, and supernatural seals were condensed in the "Pot Heaven Space".

However, unlike the "Yin You Yi" talent that affects his physical body, using the "Hu Tian Space" to activate "Yin You Yi" draws the purest void power.

During this period, Bai Cang never stopped his physical digging at the foundation of Zongguan Mountain Gate, digging up countless rocks and soil, and even taking water from the Nine Rivers and Great Marshes.

Every time the air force sends water, he pours it into the space of the pot.

However, the expansion of the Pot Heaven space is still so slow as to be imperceptible. It is unknown when it will be promoted to a blessed land, let alone the Great Thousand World.

However, in just a short while, the space in the pot had expanded by nearly half a foot, which can be described as a remarkable achievement.

"boom!"

Just then, the Great Dao's imperial decree sounded again.

The boundless Daoist principles rose, surged, and churned within his heart.

[The Method of Observing Qi: Reaching a State of Mastery]

"Of the four methods of Daoist alchemy, why is it that only the method of observing Qi has undergone such a transformation?"

Bai Cang was puzzled, but as if struck by a sudden inspiration, he rose up and leaped to the summit of Mount Juyue.

A pair of strikingly beautiful phoenix eyes, with a faint glint of silver.

But his dark pupils, at this moment, were like hanging beads, or like cold stars entering his eyes.

If someone were to meet its gaze, they would feel a chilling light emanating from it, and sense an astonishing aura emanating from it.

According to the "Guanren Jing", this is called: Dragon Eye, also known as Dragon Pupil.

It is indeed like that: the dragon's eyes are different from the world, its light is as still as a mysterious pearl, as calm as the still water of an autumn pool, truly a wonder of the world.

With phoenix eyes and dragon-like pupils, these are the features of an ancient sage king.

But at this moment, Bai Cang looked around and was completely unaware that he already had the "image of an ancient sage king". He only felt that there was malice everywhere in the mountain gate.

A chilling, piercing cold surged toward him like a tidal wave.

A chilling wind swept past Bai Cang's clothes, chilling him to the bone and filling his chest with murderous intent.

From the perspective of the "Qi Observation Method," the entire Red Dragon Temple, and even the entire Taiyin Palace City, is a realm of ghosts and men, shrouded in dark clouds.

One after another, ferocious "poisonous dragons" bared their fangs and claws in the dark clouds.

Each of them had vertical, scarlet pupils and sharp teeth and claws, as if they were roaring at him from the sky, wishing they could devour his flesh and blood and wipe him clean.

Faintly, carried by the night wind, one could almost hear ferocious roars, or perhaps some kind of low murmur.

"Hate! Hate! Hate!"

"Jealousy! Jealousy! Jealousy!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

"Die! Die! Die!"

"Why? By what right? Why?"

“It’s outrageous that a child would carry gold in the middle of the street.”

"That arrogant brat will get his comeuppance sooner or later!"

"I watched him build a tall building, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his building collapse!"

"It's easy to fish in troubled waters; in the midst of turbulent times, it's the perfect opportunity for us to show our skills."

"No! We have to find a way to gain that brat's trust and squeeze him dry!"

“…”

Countless noises, filled with malice, almost overwhelmed the sky, like towering mountains.

It felt like it could suffocate a person!

Everywhere you look, there are venomous dragons baring their fangs and claws; everywhere you hear, there are venomous voices filled with malicious intent.

The human heart is like a demonic realm, and evil thoughts are like a surging tide.

It is not human, but like a dog, a jackal, or a wolf; its breath is not breath, but like a snake or a python.

Even worse, some are like hungry beasts, their stomachs burning with ravenous hunger, craving flesh and blood, like insatiable gluttons staring at them, sucking their teeth and sharpening their claws, drooling with greed.

"This is... the Ghost Realm of Human Hearts?"

"A superb ability to observe qi, actually able to see through appearances and sense the malice others have towards me?"

Bai Cang's lips curled up, and his Dao heart became increasingly crystal clear under the wash of the tide of malice, as if it could accurately capture the malice transmitted from afar and see through the most vicious darkness in people's hearts.

As the saying goes, "A man condemned by a thousand men will die without illness."

Now, Bai Cang sits atop Mount Juyue, and the entire Zongguan Mountain Gate, and even the entire Taiyin City, seem to be laid bare before him.

Countless malice surged forth, like heavy black clouds pressing down from the mountains, like a shadow that blotted out the sky, trying to engulf this "pure and innocent boy".

But Bai Cang remained fearless, his gaze unwavering, his state of mind unchanged.

A torrent of intense hatred, resentment, murderous intent, scheming, bitterness, and jealousy shone through his mind.

All sorts of intense emotions, like a barrage of arrows or a torrential downpour, poured over him.

"My heart is as vast as Mount Sumeru, my evil thoughts are like a tidal wave; the human heart is a demon realm, a poisonous dragon stirring up clouds and rain!"

Bai Cang pondered the changes in the human heart and the ghost realm. In his mind's sea, it was as if a majestic mountain had manifested, firmly suppressing the monstrous waves of malice, evil thoughts, and malice.

The cool, frosty silver moonlight shone brightly, and the vast sea of ​​my heart trembled violently.

A more harmonious state of mind, as if radiating brilliance, illuminates the body and mind, inside and out.

"Human hearts are more fickle than water, easily stirred up by calm waters."

A cold smile crept onto Bai Cang's lips. "It seems I wasn't ruthless enough, and I didn't kill enough, which is why people feel jealousy and covetousness towards me."

His extraordinary wisdom told him that in such a situation, one should use unparalleled martial prowess to ruthlessly slaughter everyone and carve out a bright and just world!

Just then, the familiar Xiaoze Golden Sword came hurtling towards them.

Bai Cang couldn't help but smile knowingly, "I wonder if Junior Brother Yu also harbors deep-seated malice towards me?"
