Chapter 837: Guilty by Heaven
"It is an illusion of the inner demon."
Gao Xian made a judgment instantly. The deep sea of his consciousness is not a vegetable market where anyone can come in freely.
Even someone as powerful as the Star Lord Tan Lang needs to use the Pure Yang Divine Consciousness to transform runes and locate and open a channel before invading his sea of consciousness.
The heart fire calamity triggered the transformation of his endless accumulated foul and evil spirits into a killing calamity. At this time, the star lord Tan Lang suddenly appeared, and his timing was too precise.
He did not doubt the patience of the Star Lord Tan Lang. It was not surprising for an old guy who had lived for more than 20,000 years to spend hundreds of years staring at him.
The problem is that even the Star Lord Tan Lang doesn't dare to go deep into the Nine Continents, so how can he have the ability to keep an eye on him?
Only when the inner fire and the outer demon collude with each other can one easily transform into the appearance of the Greedy Wolf Star Lord.
Gao Xian had a clear understanding of his own condition. Even though he had destroyed the three pure yang consciousnesses of the Tan Lang Star Lord, in his heart he had always been very wary of the Tan Lang Star Lord.
After all, he was a sixth-level pure Yang, far superior to him in both magical powers and mana. With such a powerful enemy staring at him from behind, how could he not be careful?
Over the past hundred years, he has traveled all over Mingzhou, never daring to be careless. Over a long period of time, he has unknowingly developed a demon in his heart.
At this critical moment, the evil spirits of the inner demons and the outer demons gathered together and naturally transformed into the appearance of the star god Tan Lang.
If the true body of the Star Lord Tan Lang were to descend, Gao Xian would definitely use all his strength to fight the opponent and destroy his pure yang consciousness.
If the Star Lord of Tan Lang is an illusion, the harder he tries, the stronger he will become.
Different situations require completely different strategies. If you make the wrong judgment, it will lead to disastrous consequences.
Gao Xian made a quick judgment and without hesitation, he launched a Pure Light Pill.
The moon-like spiritual light transformed by the Pure Light Pill spread out, and the black and red evil spirits in the entire sea of consciousness were cleansed away. The Tanlang Star Lord opposite also gradually faded away under the bright moonlight...
A fierce look appeared on the distorted face of the Star Lord Tan Lang, his triangular old eyes turned red, and his body kept fading away, but it was forced to condense into shape again.
The spiritual power of a pure and bright pill was eaten up by this inner demon illusion.
Gao Xian was not in a hurry and activated another Pure Light Pill. The bright moonlight shone brightly again, illuminating the sea of consciousness.
The newly condensed Tan Lang Star Lord was like a snowman splashed with boiling water. Most of it melted instantly, and no human form could be seen anymore.
After a while, the star god Tan Lang completely disappeared in the bright moonlight.
Gao Xian also breathed a sigh of relief. These inner demons were the deepest and most filthy emotions and thoughts in his heart. Under the stimulation of the heart fire, the inner demons became more than a thousand times stronger. Coupled with the external foul air and evil spirits, the inner demons seemed to come alive, which was very scary.
Fortunately, he had the magical item, the Pure Light Pill, in his hand. After taking two Pure Light Pills, all the inner demons were washed away completely.
Without the concrete image of the transformation of the inner demon, the inner fire was still burning fiercely. The inner fire could not be cleansed with the Pure Light Pill, because the inner fire came from the heart and was closely related to his soul consciousness.
The Pure Light Pill is too powerful and can easily cleanse his consciousness. By then, no matter how strong his soul is, he will only be a fool in consciousness.
The blazing heart fire originally used the mysterious inspiration between heaven and earth to arouse the cultivator's own obsession, and the two combined to transform into a heart fire that burns the soul.
This time, the fire in his heart hooked up with endless foul and evil spirits. He broke the illusion of the inner demon, but the fire in his heart became even stronger.
Gao Xian felt like he was about to be burned to a crisp. When he couldn't hold on any longer, he called Sister Lan over to help him share the heat and protect his soul.
After being promoted to the Yin-Yang Cave Sutra, Gao Xian has had no time to look for a woman in the past hundred years. He practices this method with Sister Lan every day.
Although Sister Lan had no real body, her extremely Yin spirit and his were in perfect harmony. The fusion of their spirits allowed him to comprehend the true meaning of this secret technique.
After a hundred years, Gao Xian also practiced the Yin-Yang Cave Nerve to a proficient level.
The Taichu Ou Shen reached the master level, and it also greatly increased the consciousness of Sister Lan and him. At this moment, the Yin-Yang Cave Nerve was stimulated, and the Yin-Yang intersection of the two souls was faintly in the shape of black and white double fish Tai Chi.
At this point, no matter how strong the heart fire was, it could not destroy the essence of Gao Xian's soul. During the heart fire sacrifice, all kinds of foul impurities accumulated in his soul were constantly melted away.
Including Taixuan Divine Image and Xuehe Tianzun Huayuan Book, all were tempered in the heart fire.
After more than two days, the raging fire in my heart slowly died down.
Gao Xian felt that the extremely hot breath dissipated instantly, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed. The calamity of the heart fire was finally over. If he endured it any longer, he would really have to use the Pure Light Pill to put out the fire.
After two days of heart fire training, both he and Sister Lan's souls were almost burnt to a crisp.
Gao Xian was just about to take two magic pills to nourish his soul when a figure suddenly appeared.
She was wearing an apricot yellow Taoist robe, with a hint of resentment on her pretty face and a slim figure. It was Zhou Yuling.
She said faintly: "Brother Xian, you have finally achieved the status of a Taoist master..."
Before Gao Xian could speak, Zhou Yuling said softly, "Brother Xian, I miss you so much..."
Gao Xian knew that this was an illusion of his inner demon, but he was still moved by these words.
Among his many girlfriends, Zhou Yuling can be said to be the most ordinary, but she was the first ray of light of life for him when he came to this world, making him feel the beauty of the world.
He also has a special feeling for Zhou Yuling.
The words engraved on the small pavilion on the cliff of Yuxing Island were forever engraved in his heart after he saw them, becoming an indelible mark in his life.
The deeper the mark, the easier it is to trigger the inner demon.
Seeing Gao Xian not speaking, Zhou Yuling stretched out her hand and said sadly, "Brother Xian, I want to hug you..."
Gao Xian was silent for a moment but still hardened his heart and urged the Pure Yang Divine Spear. A golden light flashed and Zhou Yuling's body was immediately pierced. She looked at Gao Xian in disbelief: "Brother Xian..."
Just as Gao Xian was about to activate the Pure Yang Divine Spear again, another figure emerged.
"Brother Gao, why do you have to do this? Everyone has obsessions. Do you want to destroy all your past?"
Yun Qiu Shui, dressed in snow-white, had arrived at some point. He looked at Gao Xian with complicated eyes, as if he strongly disapproved of Gao Xian's action.
"Brother, all phenomena are like dreams and illusions, like dew and lightning. You should view them in this way..."
Ru Dian, who was wearing a scarlet monk's robe, also appeared. She put her hands together and chanted a Buddhist verse in a low voice. She said to Gao Xian with a solemn face: "Brother, there is no need to exert any effort. Observe your own true nature and use the supreme wisdom to cut off all external demons..."
Gao Xian knew that Ru Dian was just a projection of the inner demon, but what she said directly pointed to the nature of the inner demon and was in line with the Buddhist truth, which was very, very strange.
The inner demon taught him how to conquer his inner demon?
Ru Dian seemed to see Gao Xian's doubt, and she said solemnly: "Brother, there is no need to doubt. The transformation of the inner demon is just the obsession of the cultivator to trigger the external demon to transform into various external forms. Although I am just a projection, I represent the Prajna nature of brother.
“Brother, you have done great deeds in killing the monsters and saving the human race and humanity.
"However, all things are created by nature, and there is no high or low. Humans and demons are all living beings. Saving people and killing demons does not bring any merit to the heaven and earth, but instead disrupts the natural changes of the heaven.
"This time, the inner fire is so blazing and inextinguishable that it has evolved into countless external forms. In the end, Senior Brother has sinned against the heavens and has been punished by them..."
Gao Xian couldn't help but be shocked. Ru Dian must be the projection of his inner demon, but these words were quite insightful.
He had already realized this. The human race was just one of the living beings. He killed a large number of demons, which actually broke the laws of this world, and thus accumulated countless foul and evil spirits.
This time, the fire in my heart burned more and more fiercely, and it seemed that it could not be extinguished.
After two days of suffering, he was exhausted. If the fire in his heart continued, he might really be burned to death.
Is it really a sin against God?
Gao Xian couldn't help but feel shaken when he thought about it. If this was true, he would have to adjust his response strategy and could no longer actively attack these projections of the inner demons.
Just like Rudian said, as long as he calms down, the inner demon will not be able to stir up his consciousness and will slowly dissipate.
But how could Rudian, the projection of the inner demon, teach him how to resist the inner demon? Or did he tell him first, so that he dared not to follow his instructions? There was another possibility, that is, if he kept his original intention, the inner demon would calmly attract the foul and evil spirits outside and become stronger and stronger.
Again, you must make an accurate judgment at this time. If you make a wrong judgment, you may end up in a dead end.
However, Gao Xian could not see through the changes in his inner demons, and found it difficult to make a decision as his mind turned.
Ru Dian said in a deep voice: "I fought side by side with my senior brother, how could I harm him!"
This sentence shook Gao Xian's heart like thunder. It was not because Rudian's words had any special meaning, but because Gao Xian thought of Rudian.
The most powerful thing about Rudian that he knew was her bravery and determination. Once she set her goal, she would never hesitate.
Faced with the invasion of his inner demon, he hesitated, which only made the inner demon more rampant and powerful.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
It doesn't matter if you can't tell right from wrong, just use the Pure Light Pill. First, destroy these inner demons, the inner fire, and the foul air.
As for the cleansing of his soul by the Pure Light Pill, he just had to endure it. Facing the Pure Light Pill was better than facing the unfathomable calamity of the Heart Fire.
Gao Xian thought of this and stopped hesitating, and immediately took another Pure Light Pill.
This kind of divine object is very precious to a seventh-level strongman. He is just a fifth-level strongman, but he has already consumed three Pure Light Pills in order to survive the tribulation. This is extremely luxurious.
The Pure and Bright Pill rose like a bright moon, and under the clear moonlight, it was like lightning. Zhou Yuling, Yun Qiu Shui and others all became ethereal, and groups of black and red foul air mixed with heart fire emerged from nowhere.
Under the moonlight of the Qingming Festival, these foul air and inner fire gradually faded and dissipated, and finally the sea of consciousness became clear and bright.
The fire in the heart and the foul air were cleansed away, and the clear spiritual light gathered on the Taixuan divine image.
In an instant, the yellow Taixuan divine image turned pale, and its primordial qi divine symbol was revealed in its primordial spirit.
Gao Xian, who was controlling the Taixuan Divine Image, felt that the world seemed to have become blank, and he seemed to have lost all his memories in an instant.
At the critical moment, it was Sister Lan who held Taixuan Shenxiang's hand, and the yin and yang energy circulated, allowing Gao Xian to regain consciousness instantly.
Gao Xian knew that the situation was not good, so he hurriedly summoned the other two souls. The three souls combined into a golden soul, and the Yuanshixuan Sanqi talisman was connected into one, entering the strongest state.
At the same time, he also maintained the yin and yang convergence with Sister Lan.
It was unknown how long it took before the extremely pure white light slowly dissipated.
"Senior Brother..." It was like a call from far away in the sky, waking Gao Xian up from his dazed state.
Gao Xian looked at Zhizhen's handsome face. His blank gaze slowly focused and his memories emerged from the depths of his consciousness.
He looked a little strange and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhizhen..."
The main thing was that he needed to mobilize his memory again, to understand who Zhizhen was and his specific relationship with him, and everything about their past...
There was worry in Zhizhen's bright eyes. His senior brother had always been calm, free and easy, and suave. But he was so slow that he looked like a centenarian, almost demented.
This is obviously wrong.
The calamity of the heart fire would destroy the original spirit and consciousness. Although some incarnations managed to survive, they became idiots. Throughout history, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
For a moment, Zhizhen didn't know what to do. She absolutely couldn't accept Gao Xianzhen becoming an idiot. She would rather her brother be destroyed in the heart fire than become an idiot...
Fortunately, Gao Xian adjusted himself quickly. His extremely powerful consciousness reorganized all his memories, and his dull eyes also shone with bright star-like light.
He smiled at Zhizhen: "I'm fine. It's just that the fire disaster in my heart was too strong. I used a pure light pill and almost became a fool."
Zhizhen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Gao Xian's bright and serious eyes, with a faint layer of bright and precious light in the depths of his eyes.
In order to prevent his brother from being controlled by external demons, Zhizhen took out the Taiyi Minghuang Four Extremes Sword and shone it at Gao Xian.
This sword is upright and can reflect the essence of a person's soul. If Gao Xian is controlled by an external demon, it will definitely reflect something strange.
Gao Xian's appearance, reflected on the blue jade-like sword blade, looked clear-headed and upright, without any signs of anything unusual.
Zhizhen finally relaxed. She exhaled softly and said, "I was really scared just now. Fortunately, Senior Brother is safe and sound.
"Otherwise, I really don't know what to do."
"If I become an idiot, or my body and soul are corrupted by evil spirits, just destroy me, fellow Taoist." Gao Xian said solemnly.
Zhizhen thought this was natural, she nodded and said: "If I am possessed by an external demon in the future, please help me get rid of it, brother."
Gao Xian nodded silently. The road ahead was difficult. Even for someone as talented as him and Zhizhen, they couldn't guarantee that they could continue on this path smoothly.
"This tribulation has exhausted all my energy. I need to return to the sect to rest for a while. Fellow Daoist, I will say goodbye now."
Gao Xian was in a very bad condition, and it was too dangerous for him to stay outside. He bowed to Zhi Zhen and said goodbye.
"Take care, senior brother." Zhizhen also bowed.
Gao Xian smiled at Zhizhen, and then activated the teleportation talisman to return to Xuanming Sect.
After returning to Jingxing Palace, Gao Xian activated the magic circle to seal off the inside and outside, and took medicinal pills in the quiet room to nourish his spirit and soul.
He also had two Taixu Qingjing Lianshen Pills in his hand, which were also given to him by Zhizhen. They were specially designed to nourish the spirit and soul, and were the top-level elixirs of the Daluo Sect.
After taking two magic pills in a row, Gao Xian recuperated for more than several months before his soul and spirit recovered.
In early March, the midday sun already carries a hint of brightness and warmth.
Gao Xian was lying on a recliner under the eaves of the corridor, his eyes squinted as if he was half asleep, but in fact his mind was studying the Mirror of Love and Lust in the Taichu Temple.
After overcoming the calamity of the heart fire, Taixuan Shenxiang has reached the tenth level of the transformation of the spirit. With the upgrade of Taichu Ou Shen, his spiritual sense sensing radius has now reached 20,000 miles.
Lifespan also increased by 1,500 years, reaching 13,000 years.
After a hundred years of practice, the Great Five Elements Spirit and the Taiyuan Spirit have also reached the fourth level of the Spirit Transformation.
The Hunyuan Tianlun can add points to directly improve the cultivation of the Great Five Elements Yuanshen. Only the Taiyuan Shenxiang needs him to practice a little bit.
It was easiest to upgrade the Taixuan Divine Appearance, and it could be quickly upgraded by killing living beings. He had killed too many people in the past hundred years, and this time the Heart Fire Tribulation almost destroyed his body and soul.
Gao Xian also realized that this shortcut was very dangerous, much more dangerous than he had expected.
However, Taixuan Shenxiang has reached the tenth level of Huashen and can start preparing to advance to Chunyang.
After a hundred years of hard work for the human race, he must have accumulated a lot of merit. Sister Bai promised to help him leave his name in the Jiuzhou Ding, and it was time for her to fulfill her promise...
