Awaken Chapter 262

There is no solution to the foreign arts.

This was Xu Qingnian’s first reaction.

The demonic Qi that was wrapped around himself was even more terrifying than before.

But the true terror originated from the Three Demon Seal at the center of his brow.

This seal contained the power of the three devil gods before heaven and earth had opened.

Once it was released, Xu Qingnian himself wasn’t sure what the consequences would be.

It was terrifying.

The Golden Crow, the True Dragon, and the Da Luo Demon Seed had already been cleared away.

But in their place, they had turned into three different devilish thoughts, leaving Xu Qingnian in a quagmire.

The devilish thoughts were terrifying.

Unlike before, which was sealed in the Heaven and Earth Literature Palace, these three devilish thoughts, instead of being within the Heaven and Earth Literature Palace, were deeply branded within his own body, within his Yuan Shen.

What was even more terrifying was that Xu Qingnian’s body also emitted wisps of devilish energy, which could not be concealed at all.

Tai Yin, Tai Yuan, Giant Nothing.

The three devilish thoughts were superior to everything else.

But it could not be said that there was no benefit at all, Xu Qingnian could feel that he could draw on the power of these three demonic marks.

Even Xu Qingnian could draw on this power.

He clearly felt that if he wanted to, he could completely take in unparalleled power from the Three Devil Seals, whether it was to break through or to become stronger.

This was the power of the Demon God.

But the problem was that Xu Qingnian did not need it.

He did not need this power.

Right now, an unspeakable emotion appeared.

Xu Qingnian had come out this time because he wanted to completely solve the scourge of the supernatural arts, but what he hadn’t expected was that the supernatural arts had been solved, but in return, he had received an even more terrifying supernatural art.

It was countless times more terrifying than before.

“Chao Ge, what is going on here with Shou Ren?”

Someone spoke up, looking at Chao Ge, unable to comprehend the change that had happened to Xu Qingnian at that moment.

Faced with such an enquiry, at this moment, Chao Ge could not help but frown, he did not know how to answer, as he did not have any relevant memories in his memory.

“That’s impossible.”

“The Demon Subduing Divine Stone, the Dragon Blood Yang Jade, and the Eight Treasures Buddha Lotus can solve the scourge of supernatural arts.”

“I remember this matter, according to reason, the scourge of the supernatural arts should completely dissipate, it is impossible to remain in the body, and these three demonic thoughts, you guys feel it.”

“It’s countless times more terrifying than the previous ones.”

Chao Ge gave a reply, he didn’t know how to explain it anymore.

Once this was said, the crowd nodded, they too had sensed it, the three demonic thoughts within Xu Qingnian’s body were truly countless times more terrifying than before.

If it were to completely erupt, it would cause an unparalleled disaster to this world.

“Shouren, how do you feel now?”

Chao Ge continued to speak out as he looked at Xu Qingnian and asked this.

Hearing Chao Ge’s enquiry, Xu Qingnian immediately spoke out.

Hearing what Chao Ge said.

Xu Qingnian felt a little self-conscious.

The demonic Qi was deeply rooted in his body, almost impossible to erase, and was eating away at him little by little.

There was no threat to life, not as much as the devilish thoughts before.

“Brother Chao Ge, the devilish thoughts before seemed to be trying to take over my sanity.”

“The demonic thoughts now seem to be trying to erode me and make me completely demonized.”

Xu Qingnian gave his reply.

The previous Golden Crow Demonic Thought was trying to directly take over one’s will and make one become a killing machine.

To lose one’s sanity.

But the current demonic thought was different, it was trying to a*similate itself.

Xu Qingnian could clearly feel that the devilish Qi within his body was eroding bit by bit, and it was impossible to resist.

Neither Hao Ran Zheng Qi nor the power of public opinion could stop the erosion of the demonic energy.

It felt like it wouldn’t even take a year before he would be a*similated and become completely demonized.

“a*similation?”

Chao Ge frowned.

He was somewhat unable to understand, and the broken evil on the side spoke up rarely.

“It’s impossible for the devilish thoughts of foreign arts to a*similate.”

He began by speaking in this manner, and this statement caused the crowd to look at him in unison.

“What does this mean?”

“Why?”

The crowd inquired.

And Broken Evil thought for a moment and then gave his answer.

“Do you all know the origin of the foreign arts?”

Broken Evil asked.

When this was said, Xu Qingnian could not help but be a little curious as he looked at Broken Evil, his eyes filled with curiosity.

The rest of the people were also the same.

Everyone understood what the foreign arts were, but the origin of the foreign arts was indeed unknown to the crowd.

Seeing the puzzled gazes of the crowd, Broken Evil did not sell himself short and spoke out directly.

“I have memories in my mind, and among the rumours, the Other Art is actually not a gong method, but the seeds of the three demon gods.”

“It is said that when the heavens and the earth were not yet opened, a chaos, three devil gods were born, when the chaos was not yet opened, the heavens and the earth were chaotic, filled with riots, bloodthirsty and without order.”

“These three demon gods dominated the sky, the earth, and the sea, one opened up the sea, one opened up the earth, and one dominated the heavens, but set their eyes on the earth, all wanting to be the only one in this world.”

“So they began to kill each other and fought until the heavens and the earth broke apart, but it was with their fighting that the heavens and the earth were formed, and then the three of them, exhausted, went into a deep slumber, which was the Chaos Era.”

“Then came the Age of Hongmeng, when the heavens and the earth were revealed and all things were born, with demons born from the oceans, witches born from the land, and birds of prey born from the heavens, also fighting each other.”

“After the end of the Age of Hongmeng, the three tribes, like their ancestors, were exhausted and no side became the winner until the Age of the Ages.”

“In this era, a new kind of existence was born, the human race.”

Broken Evil spoke out, explaining the origin of heaven and earth, exactly what it was or wasn’t, there were many doubts, but at least there was this rumour and some basis for it, not something imagined out of thin air.

Seeing that the crowd was silent and listening in silence, Broken Evil continued to speak.

“After the birth of the human race, they were not born strong like those races, but rather extremely weak, meaning weak of course, compared to them.”

“Unlike now, as times change, the current Human Race is not the same as the Human Race of that era.”

“The human race of that era was extremely humble, surviving in the cracks, but even so, they still survived, and some sages even imitated the movements of the demon race, the witch race, and the demon birds in combat, creating a heart technique suitable for the human race.”

“Since then, the human race began its age of glory, and many immortal existences have appeared.”

“It was not until after the revival of the three demon gods that the prosperity of the human race was ushered in by the end of the world, and among the three demon gods, the demon god who dominated the earth revived early and sensed the existence of the demon race, which could make him stronger, so he made the demon race immensely powerful and killed the other species.”

“Competing for the qi of heaven and earth, but the consequences of doing so led to the other two demon gods recovering and slaughtering the demon race at all costs, joining forces to suppress the demon god who dominates the earth.”

“The power of the human race was far too small in front of the three great demon gods, and the Age of the Ages gradually fell away.”

“This was the time when the human race learned its lesson and wanted to become stronger.

“It was also in this era that people found it too difficult to pa*s on gongfu because of the writing, which was extremely prone to cultural discontinuity, and so there were immortal dynasties that unified the world, with the same carriage and the same book, ushering in the glory of the ancient era.”

“Confucianism also came into being, and the great sages were born in the ancient times.”

Broken Evil kept on uttering pith and secrets, making the crowd listen with great interest.

“But it was in this era that the human race, in pursuit of power, from somewhere, messed with the foreign arts, for with conventional cultivation, it would take at least hundreds of years to reach the first rank, and not only that, only a genius, could break through to the first rank.”

“In this era, even a genius among geniuses can’t see the first grade, but in that era, it only takes a genius, who cultivates hard for a hundred years, to have a high probability of becoming a first grade martial artist.”

“But cultivating a foreign art can easily save a hundred years of painstaking cultivation, one grade overnight is a bit exaggerated, but arriving at the first grade in a few years is not exaggerated.”

“For a while, countless human races tried to cultivate the foreign arts, and through this way, made themselves stronger.”

“But it was because of this way that led to many people’s minds becoming confused, becoming completely demonic and creating limitless sins.”

“Only, although some people wanted to stop it, the world could not resist in the face of the temptation of the supernatural arts, after all, no one could be sure that going off the rails was necessarily caused by the supernatural arts, until after some people practiced the supernatural arts and became demon gods, launching a plan to resurrect the three great demon gods, then people understood.”

“The scourge of the supernatural arts spread throughout the world, and at that time, one out of ten martial artists practiced the supernatural arts and all of them turned into demons and lost themselves.”

“Even twelve demon gods were born, all of them transcended the first rank and received the power of the three great demon gods, terrifying and scouring the world.”

When Broken Evil spoke here, he could not help but pause.

“And then what?”

Someone could not help but inquire, looking at Broken Evil.

When this was said, Broken Evil could not help but sigh and said.

“And what happened afterwards was simple, as the human race suffered another extinction, the Great Sage came out, the Martial Dao put an end to its flesh and the Confucian Dao suppressed its god, quelling this unprecedented turmoil.”

“Since then, the supernatural arts have become taboo, but it was also because of that great battle that the qi of heaven and earth was completely overwhelmed and close to collapse, thus ending the Ancient Era.”

“The Middle Ancient Era was ushered in, and as for what the Middle Ancient Era was, I’m not sure.”

When Broken Evil said this, he did not continue.

Because he was also born in the Ancient Era, he was naturally not clear about what happened after the Ancient Era.

“In other words, the foreign arts actually came from the Three Demon Gods?”

Chao Ge frowned as he looked at Broken Evil and asked so.

“En.”

“It might be because, after the Three Demon Gods’ battle, there was still a trace of intent left behind, sensing that the human race seemed weak, but had such a strong ability to reproduce, as well as being resilient and immortal, so they set their eyes on the human race.”

“Rumour has it that whether it is the demon race, or the witch race, or the demon bird race, their reproductive ability is extremely poor, and although they are born down extremely strong, the race is still sparse in numbers.”

“Otherwise, it would be impossible for the human race to dominate this world.”

Broken Evil said, pointing the finger at this.

“In other words, the source of the foreign arts comes from these three demon gods?”

Chao Ge asked.

At these words, Broken Evil nodded, and then continued immediately afterwards.

“That should be the case, except that the Twelve Demon Gods have also authored foreign arts, as well as the Evil Gods who followed the Three Primordial Demon Gods in the first place have also shed their foreign arts.”

“For example, the Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique, this is a supernatural technique left behind by the Golden Crow clan, so cultivating supernatural techniques is actually a trade, the devil gods give energy, and those who cultivate supernatural techniques will have to pay a painful price after all.”

“To become a demon is the greatest price.”

Broken Evil said so, making the crowd completely understand the origin of the pagan arts.

“That’s not right.”

Chao Ge immediately spoke up and looked at Broken Evil.

“Before, it was the Golden Crow Demonic Idea, how come it has now become this?”

“Is it hard to say that this is the ancestor of the Golden Crow? It doesn’t match.”

Chao Ge was curious and couldn’t help but ask this.

When this was said, Broken Evil also shook his head.

“I’m not sure about this either, but what is certain is that Xiandi Shouren was indeed a Golden Crow Demonic Ancestor before, so how he turned into a Demonic Ancestor of the Three Great Demon Gods for good reason is unclear.”

Hearing this, the crowd nodded and looked at the demon atlas again, and indeed, on top of the demon atlas, it had indeed turned into a new demon thought.

It was no longer the Golden Crow Demonic Thought from before.

“If I had to say it, the only possibility is that this is the original source.”

“The Golden Crow, the True Dragon, and the Da Luo Demonic Numinous, are all Origin Fey Arts.”

This was the only explanation that Broken Evil had.

“Is there a way to break it?”

Someone asked.

“If it’s the Golden Crow Demonic Numinous, there is a way, but …….”

Broken Evil said this and did not continue further.

The Golden Crow, an ancient demon god, could be cracked though, it was just that the new demonic thoughts Xu Qingnian was now condensing were different, these were the three original demon gods.

The devil gods that existed before all things in heaven and earth were born.

In a sense, all things in heaven and earth were created by them.

This had already exceeded normal human perception, and I was afraid that even the Great Sages were at their wits’ end.

“Not necessarily.”

Chao Ge shook his head.

He took a deep breath and slowly spoke out.

“The Three Great Demon Gods are indeed invincible, but they are nourished by the Yin power of Heaven and Earth, and are actually still transformed by Heaven and Earth, not surpa*sing it.”

“Since they are transformed by heaven and earth, there is no such thing as no solution.”

“With the power of heaven and earth, against the power of heaven and earth, although the process may be troublesome, at least we can see hope.”

Chao Ge spoke out, he did not think that the foreign arts were necessarily insoluble.

At the same time, Chao Ge looked towards Xu Qingnian and spoke out to comfort him.

“Xiandi Shouren, you should not be discouraged, in fact, there are many things that we also have a half understanding of, although there are demonic thoughts in your body, the demonic thoughts are also made from the coalescence of yin energy.”

“As long as you can become a Confucian saint, not to say that you can completely eradicate the demonic thoughts, you can at least think of a way to solve them.”

“Even if it’s incredibly difficult, don’t be discouraged, back then the Great Sage was also in a desperate situation, saving the living beings, and you don’t need to save the living beings, you only need to save yourself.”

“And we will also find a way to think of a way to save you, and perhaps after you become a saint, we will also be able to recover our full memories.”

Chao Ge spoke out as he comforted Xu Qingnian.

Hearing these words, Xu Qingnian nodded his head.

The three great demonic thoughts coalescing within his body was unexpected, but it did not make Xu Qingnian give up his fighting spirit.

At the beginning, he only had twelve hours to live, but he had survived until now. Now, although there was much more trouble, at least he was not in a desperate situation yet.

“My younger brother understands.”

Xu Qingnian nodded his head.

But roughly without saying anything more, Xu Qingnian intended to leave.

But just then, Broken Evil spoke again.

“Shouren, I will teach you a Meditation Mantra, you should be able to suppress some of the demonic Qi by chanting the Meditation Mantra, otherwise, if you emit demonic Qi now, I am only afraid that it will be troublesome.”

Broken Evil said so.

“Good, thanks a lot Brother Broken Evil.”

Xu Qingnian was also worried about this matter.

The three great demonic thoughts of Taiyin had not caused a huge impact temporarily, but they had allowed themselves to be suffused with demonic Qi.

If this trouble was not solved, one would not even be able to meet people.

Soon, Xu Qingnian learnt the Meditation Incantation.

When the Meditation Incantation was learnt, Xu Qingnian also slowly bid farewell.

The outer world.

Xu Qingnian sat on the mountain, with the demonic Qi surrounding him. He did not rush to recite the Meditation Mantra, but instead felt carefully what was going on with the demonic thoughts inside his body.

About half an hour later.

Xu Qingnian opened his eyes.

He exhaled a long breath, his eyes filled with helplessness among them.

There was good news and bad news.

The good news was that although the demonic thoughts were eating away at him, he was also getting stronger, and this a*similation was not something that made him turn into a demon straight away, it was an indescribable feeling.

And by relying on the allomantic demonic thoughts inside one’s body, one could easily break through to the second rank, or even the first rank, without doing anything.

Yup.

First rank.

Xu Qingnian could step into the Second Grade himself, but he could feel that with the help of the Three Devil Marks, he could step into the First Grade realm.

Of course, this was a feeling.

It was unclear whether he could or not.

At this moment, Xu Qingnian recited the Meditation Mantra.

At that moment, the demonic Qi around him slowly dissipated and converged within his body.

However, even after reciting the Meditation Mantra, the demonic Qi was only partially internalised and contained within the tendons and veins.

To an ordinary person, this could not be seen through.

But to a cultivator who had reached the fourth rank or above, a glance would be able to see it.

Therefore, Xu Qingnian tried to suppress it with Hao Ran Zheng Qi, as well as public opinion, the power of the Immortal Dao and the power of Buddha to.

With all his efforts, this was how he was able to hide the demonic qi in his body.

Only, it could not be seen at all, as it was before.

Before, the devilish thoughts were hidden by the sea of public opinion, so that ordinary people could not see without them, but now they could not be completely hidden.

This is very dangerous.

It meant that one had to be a little more careful when striking out from now on, but if one leaked too much, one would be discovered.

“Public opinion, Hao Ren Zheng Qi, can suppress demonic Qi, but my current realm is only the third grade.”

“Arriving at the second rank is much better, if it is the first rank, it should be as before.”

Xu Qingnian took a deep breath.

In his mind, he roughly understood how the new Demonic Numinous was really like.

One had to hurry to step into the second grade.

Confucianism, immortality, Buddhism, and martial arts, one had to hurry up and step into the second grade.

There could be no delay.

The only thing that could be done was to step into the second grade sooner, and the demonic energy within his own body would be able to be suppressed more steadily.

Thinking of this.

Xu Qingnian took a long, deep breath.

It was possible to break through to the second rank.

But if one wanted to truly internalise the Devil Qi, one had to step into the First Grade sooner.

And for the first rank.

Right now, there was a chance.

The Mahayana Dharma.

One can break through to the first grade with the help of Mahayana Buddhism.

Using the supreme Buddha power to suppress the devilish thoughts in one’s body would at least have some effect, unlike what one is doing now.

Thinking of this.

Xu Qingnian was slightly silent.

A new pressure came upon him, causing Xu Qingnian to be somewhat silent.

In the end, he did not say anything and walked directly towards the Western Continent.

Counting the time.

He was going to pa*s on the Mahayana Buddhism.

To advance to the First Grade of the Buddhist Dao.

And at the same time.

The Sea of Devil’s Domain.

Dozens of figures, too, appeared.
