"Master, I have made my decision. Please help me plant trees and create a new day!"

The tea was already cold, but Xia Xiao didn't sip it. He just held it and looked at Qing Xunzi seriously. The latter was not in a hurry and asked:

"Are you sure you want to be with the devil for the rest of your life? Although I won't stop you, I have to warn you again. As long as you plant the tree, you will be associated with the devil for the rest of your life. This means a shame. Do you understand?"

"Someone has to go to hell. Someone has to do these things."

"That person doesn't have to be you, someone else will be there!"

Qing Xunzi took over the conversation with a firm tone, but Xia Xiao smiled meaningfully. He didn't know whether the master was testing him or hinting that he shouldn't choose this path, but he told an interesting story.

"Before people ate tomatoes, they were called wolfberries. Mr. Lu Xun also called the first person who ate crabs a warrior. Tomatoes and crabs have existed for a long time and have always been considered poisonous, but you should always try them to know whether they are poisonous. Shennong also tasted all the herbs one by one."

"These two examples are not appropriate. Although I don't know who Lu Xun is, the reason why tomatoes are called wolfberries must be because of their appearance. However, whether it is a tomato or a crab, it is essentially food, so it can be eaten. The spirit of tasting a hundred herbs is valuable, but if you eat poisonous herbs once, will you eat them again in the future? Demonic energy is inherently bad, don't expect it to be good for people!"

Xia Xiao remained silent for a long time before speaking softly:

"Master, the magic energy can help me find the truth I want to know."

"Then let me ask you, why aren't you afraid? Why do you take on so many things? Do you know that no one has ever accomplished what you want to do? It's not because we old guys are confused, but because they hide it very deeply. If you change the current situation by yourself, it doesn't prove how strong you are, but only shows that we have created the illusion we want to see. What they showed is just the tip of the iceberg, or even further from the truth!"

"You have to go, and I can't tell you why, but you have to go!"

Xia Xiao laughed. He used to be selfish and didn't have a big picture. He just wanted his family to be safe, have a sufficient material life, and not be empty spiritually. But he has experienced a lot in these years, which made him change from yearning for power to full of hatred. He began to move forward with a heavy burden, just to live up to everyone's expectations. He still couldn't forget the huge stone statue that stayed in the north of Goulongbangshi. Xuyun passed away on it, and Hu Bugui also passed away not far away.

The seniors had saved Xia Xiao with their lives, so he was not afraid of any dangers and difficulties, and this time he should go! Not for the heroic dream and the righteous path, but for the expectations of himself and everyone. The light in Xia Xiao's eyes became firm and persistent. The number of people who had helped him during this period made him more determined.

Silence became the best answer. Qing Xunzi looked at him. Finally, the latter sighed deeply and said:

"Don't regret it no matter what. Once you start on a new path, it's hard to stop."

Xia Xiao nodded solemnly. He was ready. He would become the first person in the Great Wilderness to completely control the magic path with his own strength. The so-called cruel and evil demonic energy would make him the nightmare of evil spirits, not the doomsday of living beings.

"Let me explain the principle first. You will listen to my instructions in a while. Use a little magic energy as a guide and fill it with magic energy to expand that point and make it a space to hold the magic energy. You can't give up halfway when expanding the space. You must hold on, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. You also know that once the magic energy is activated, it will be very dangerous. They must be included in the black spot space."

"Once the black dot is created successfully, it will begin to take shape. I will then enter your mind and teach you how to do it little by little. You just need to follow my instructions. But the general process is to make the black dot take root and sprout, and take root in your meridians and vessels, so as to establish a connection with you. Because you already have vital energy in your tendons and veins, in order to avoid conflict, you must block the vital energy and not use any of it. This will make it difficult to relieve your pain, but as I said before, you must endure it. The whole process will not be pleasant."

Xia Xiao roughly understood that with the master around, there would be constant reminders. The chance of success was very high, but the real operation was still himself, so he had to ensure that he was well prepared. Xia Xiao was not anxious and asked the master if there was anything else to pay attention to. He shook his head and said to adjust his breath and start when he felt ready.

Xia Xiao sealed the vitality in various spaces. This was the first time he had done this in history. No one would refuse to use vitality like this. Then, he opened his eyes and felt something was wrong with his whole body. It was a tired body without vitality, but he still said:

"I'm ready."

"Then let's get started!"

Qing Xunzi stretched out his hand and covered Xia Xiao's face, causing his eyes to go dark for a moment, and his eyes closed, entering a very deep world. There was a space in the spiritual sea, and on the meadow in that space grew a vitality tree, and on the side was full of demonic energy, which floated in the air, floating up and down aimlessly.

Xia Xiao observed these evil spirits, gathering the black and red ones, and no longer scattering them in the sky, earth and sea. In the clear and sunny environment, they seemed extremely abrupt, like black clouds falling into the world. Xia Xiao sat aside and, as the master had said before, began to establish a point and stuff the evil spirits into it, trying to expand it into a space.

This was not difficult, and it did not cause any physical discomfort. But gradually, there was still a lot of demonic energy, but it could no longer be stuffed in. How could the pocket be so big that it could hold an elephant?

When Xia Xiao had doubts, he did not force him to answer, but asked his master for help, so as to cope with all changes. But his words were simple.

"Keep plugging it."

Xia Xiao drove the demonic energy to drill in, and when it couldn't drill in, he pushed from behind. The process of pushing made him sweat profusely, as if he was moving a mountain, but this process had to be repeated for a long time.

Xia Xiao observed carefully and soon found that there was a dark and vague color behind the small black dot, like a space that had been opened up. It was just that the color was too small and not obvious, but Xia Xiao, who already had hope, only needed any change to arouse his fighting spirit. He was determined and saw the results, so he became even crazier. He suddenly lifted up a mountain of magic energy and tried his best to stuff it into the small black dot.

Many times, Xia Xiao couldn't push it, but he still put all his mental strength into it, trying to squeeze the demonic energy in even if it crushed other demonic energy in the black spot.

For Xia Xiao, this was not a difficult task, but only a spiritual force as vast as the sea could support his ambition. If it were an ordinary person, even if he chose to plant trees, he would not be able to complete the first step of creating the black spot.

At first, Xia Xiao still had a sense of time, but gradually he became addicted to creating black spots, forgetting many things and just doing things over and over again. Xia Xiao fought against fatigue in this state, and seemed to be unable to sense the mental fatigue. He kept staring at the evil spirits in front of him. They gradually shrank from a large cloud to the height of a person. But it was obviously difficult to block the last group of evil spirits.

As expected, Xia Xiao couldn't get it in at all. His mental power seemed to be frozen, and it was difficult to control the magic energy. Only the master had studied some of these things. Who would have thought that forcibly compressing the magic energy could open up space? But now, he was in trouble.

"Master?"

"Keep stuffing!"

Xia Xiao bit his lip and stepped forward. The severe pain all over his body made him break out in a cold sweat, but he still pushed with his hand. Before he touched it, the evil spirit was absorbed into the fist-sized dark and shiny sphere, and then it kept shrinking until it was only as big as a fingertip.

"Next, guide it to take root, first connect with your spiritual sea, and then follow the meridians to make the tendons and veins flow smoothly with the demonic energy. Be careful, take your time, and don't move your vital energy, otherwise your body's self-defense function will cause the two to collide together."

Xia Xiao understood that it was very dangerous to allow the demonic energy to enter the tendons before he had fully controlled it. It was fine to release the demonic energy by carrying the vital energy, but now a connection was established, which could only enter but not exit. At this time, the tendons became a pipeline for carrying fire and air. With one end closed, the demonic energy that slowly entered was like fire, and it would probably explode when it encountered the impact of the vital energy.

Exhaling, Xia Xiao carefully dropped a black dot the size of a fingertip onto the meadow.

Suddenly, the green grass around the black spot was burned dry, as if it had been branded with a heavy sin, and no living things could grow there anymore. Under Xia Xiao's control, the black spot extended a very thin root vein, which penetrated the land under the meadow and slowly entered Xia Xiao's spiritual sea.

Buzz——

When the roots touched the sea of ​​spirit, Xia Xiao's head buzzed and the harsh sound kept echoing. His body began to twitch because this force made him instinctively want to resist.

The five elements space suddenly emitted light, gathering from all around, making the vitality tree possess the power of the five elements at the same time, which was amazing. The vitality was also mobilized to try to resist the evil spirit at an abnormally fast speed. But at the critical moment, Qing Xunzi shouted:

“Hold on!”

Xia Xiao swallowed the liquid that surged up his throat. He coughed a few times due to the burning pain, but the first vein finally took root. However, this behavior was just as difficult as the one he had felt in the Devil's Plain of Gou Longbang. He seemed to be controlled by the devil's energy.

"Master, is this possible?"

"I told you in advance that as long as you plant the tree, you will be inseparable from the devil for the rest of your life. If you don't hide your aura, you will smell the stench of devil energy at any time."

In the carriage, Xia Xiao closed his eyes and gasped, as if he had seen his own tragic life. But now that things had come to this, there was no other way out, so come on!

Opening his arms, Xia Xiao roared and controlled the magic seeds to extend their roots and veins, densely packed towards the sea of ​​spirit. This would be a huge challenge, Xia Xiao was ready, clenched his fists, and felt indescribable pain the moment they extended into the sea of ​​spirit, and even fainted.

Seeing Xia Xiao fall in the carriage, Qing Xunzi frowned and sighed softly:

“Theory still needs to be proven in practice!”

If Qing Xunzi had not seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that the power of the devil was stronger than he had estimated, but Xia Xiao had to hold on.

After feeding him a few pills, Qing Xunzi sat beside Xia Xiao and waited. As long as the root system and his veins were connected, he would be able to freely control the magic energy. But the process was difficult, and whether there would be any changes depended on whether Xia Xiao succeeded or not. If he really passed out and allowed the magic energy to stir in his body, even if he was there, the end would not be much better.
