Chapter 245
Karma
"The reason why a genius is a genius is because his cultivation speed is faster than that of ordinary people."
“For cultivators with good spiritual root aptitude, such as those of Heaven Rank and Earth Rank, the improvement gained from meditating for one day is comparable to the hard work of a cultivator of Yellow Rank and Profound Rank for one or two years.”
“But after the great transformation of the Tianxuan Continent, from the explosion of the continent’s spiritual energy to the shadow of the inner demon, the speed of cultivation has changed from being determined by spiritual roots to being determined by understanding.”
"Those who were once the pride of heaven naturally couldn't accept it. They fell from the world of heaven, while the 'waste' they once looked down on rose to become the 'new pride of heaven'. This huge psychological gap cast a shadow on the Dao hearts of some cultivators, and their inner demons began to grow..."
Yan Qingyan nodded. People can often accept themselves getting better and better, but cannot accept themselves getting worse.
She was a good-for-nothing at the beginning of this life. After eighteen years of hard training, she was still just a little ant at the third level of Qi Refining. She was bullied by Elder Yan Shi all day long. It was not until the return of the spiritual spring space and the transformation of her wood spiritual roots driven by her wood-related supernatural powers that she finally took off.
If she were asked to go back to her previous snail-paced training progress, she would probably go crazy.
Liuhuo continued, "So, the chief disciple came up with a 'clever idea'. He spent decades researching and finally developed a very impressive side-door magic. It was to remove the inner demon from one's heart and seal it outside the body."
Hearing this, Yan Qingyan vaguely realized what had happened.
She guessed, "He wouldn't throw that inner demon... into the Demon Abyss, would he?"
"Smart! It seems that what I, Lord Liuhuo, said is very good!" Liuhuo touched his chin and said proudly.
Ling Mochen: ...
"Okay, go on, speak quickly." Yan Qingyan rolled her eyes at him.
“Ahem!”
Liuhuo cleared his throat and continued, "This method really works. After the eldest disciple successfully eliminated his inner demon, his Dao heart was no longer disturbed. He then began to practice with one mind, wanting to open the gate to immortality as quickly as possible and become the youngest person in Tianxuan Continent to ascend to immortality."
"He achieved fusion in one year, great perfection in a hundred years, and transcended the tribulation in five hundred years. He passed through the nine floors of the Ascension Tower without any obstacles. In that short period of a thousand years, he was a famous figure in the entire continent..."
With a living example of success before his eyes, countless cultivators in the Tianxuan Continent at that time, who had poor comprehension but outstanding talents, highly respected this man. The 'Heart Demon Separation Technique' he created went from being a side door to becoming the most mainstream compulsory spell in the continent at that time.
After all, most people tend to "seek the easy way out and avoid the hard way". If there is a shortcut, they would not take it and instead waste a huge amount of energy to hone their mind and temper their Tao heart. This is something only a fool would do.
As a result, more and more inner demons were sealed into the devil's abyss.
It was like a huge trash can, accepting unlimited garbage dumped by monks, not only tangible garbage, but also intangible garbage...
Lasts for a thousand years.
During this period, the immortal cultivators of Tianxuan Continent began to split into two factions. One faction was the 'Enlightenment Faction', which advocated that the Tao follows nature, that cultivators comprehend the heaven and earth, and that the Tao mind is the law of nature. Seeking the immortal way through traditional cultivation mode is the authentic one.
The so-called "heart-demon separation technique" is an evil technique that goes against the will of heaven and goes against the way of heaven. Any method of practicing by taking shortcuts will not have good results and will inevitably lead to great disasters.
The other faction is the 'Wuxin Faction', which advocates that the strong are respected and cultivation is everything. Instead of comprehending the laws of nature, it is better to cultivate to a higher level as soon as possible. The world of cultivating immortals is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Cultivation cannot be improved quickly. No matter how high your comprehension is, you cannot withstand a slap from a powerful person at a higher level.
They regard the 'Heart Demon Separation Technique' as a 'holy technique', which is a shortcut that can allow them to quickly improve their realm and become the best among people.
During that period, the two factions often quarreled and conflicts due to disagreements occurred from time to time.
The Wuxin Sect is more likely to have the upper hand, because no matter what, their cultivation speed is indeed much faster than that of the Wudao Sect, their number is larger, and their overall cultivation level is also stronger.
The 'Wudao Sect' gradually became a minority.
Liuhuo sighed lightly, and under Yan Qingyan's anxious gaze, he slowly drank a sip of the spiritual spring water.
"Keep talking, quickly!" Yan Qingyan urged in a 'late but late' manner.
Liuhuo's movement holding the cup of water froze.
"Okay, let me take a breath first."
It went on to say: "Just when the Wuxin Sect of the Tianxuan Continent completely gained the upper hand, the founder of the Heart Demon Separation Technique, the chief disciple of the first generation of the Saint Academy's master, was finally about to ascend."
"Then something went wrong, right?" Yan Qingyan asked excitedly.
Liuhuo was slightly surprised, "How do you know? Did you also see those memories?"
"This lady is extremely intelligent and has wisdom from ancient times. I know everything from astronomy to geography. Is this difficult to guess?" Yan Qingyan rolled her eyes at it.
Just think about it, if the 'Wuxin Faction' had always had the upper hand, how come she had never heard of this 'Heart-Demon Separation Technique'?
On the contrary, any treasure related to enlightenment can be sold at a high level.
For example, her 'Divine Thunder Remnant Wood', a broken piece of wood, just the size of a palm, could force her to take out the Spirit Cleansing Grass at the auction.
Liuhuo opened his mouth, his eyes a little vague.
Is it really that easy to guess?
Then why didn't its owner guess it?
On the side, Ling Mochen listened quietly without saying a word.
He is a quiet person by nature.
If he could hear Liuhuo's voice at this moment, he would definitely not be able to help but give it a big look of contempt.
Liuhuo was a little shocked. He said in a weak voice, "You're right. Something went terribly wrong with his ascension!"
As a prominent figure in the entire continent, as soon as Sheng Zhai ascended to heaven, almost all the cultivators of some fame in the entire continent came to watch.
That day, the sky was covered with dark clouds and thunder.
Sheng Zhai looked up at the sky, quietly watching the silver thunder in the sky, with a confident smile on his lips.
Without the inner demon, with his talent of Holy Spirit Root and all the magical instruments and equipment, why would he be afraid of this small tribulation thunder?
What's more, long before he passed the tribulation, he had separated the newly born inner demon and sealed it into the Demonic Abyss.
The most difficult inner demon thunder tribulation and the test of Tao heart posed no threat to him.
Boom boom
After 81 days, Shengzhai finally managed to survive the last disaster.
The inner demon calamity.
Just when Shengzhai and everyone thought that the youngest ascender in Tianxuan Continent was born, the last thunder tribulation struck.
Having said that, Liuhuo patted his chest, and even Amu did the same.
That scene was extremely terrifying even for them who only received fragmentary memories.
Liuhuo said with lingering fear: "I just found out that the last thunderbolt of the ascension in the Tribulation Crossing Period is not the Tribulation of the Heart Demon, but..."
Liuhuo looked serious and glanced solemnly at everyone present.
Yan Qingyan gave him a slap and said unhappily, "Don't keep me in suspense, just tell me now!"
Ling Mochen also had a look of disapproval on his face.
Liuhuo felt aggrieved, and just when he was about to speak, a soft voice came to his ears.
“It’s a karmic calamity.”
