Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 77: Confronting the Inner Demon (Part 2)

Tang Jie knew that this was his soul.

At this time, the soul is still just a wisp, and it needs Tang Jie to continue to cultivate and grow it to truly take shape.

Next, Tang Jie continued to operate according to the mental method, constantly transforming spiritual energy into the sea of ​​consciousness, concentrating his thoughts on it, and growing his soul.

The growth of the soul is the most important step for the inner demon cultivator, and it is also the step that directly determines the level of the inner demon cultivator, but it is also the most dangerous step. From the moment the first ray of soul begins to take shape, it means that the birth of demonic thoughts will not be far away.

As those countless thoughts transformed into divine thoughts and merged into the soul bit by bit, the first ray of demonic thoughts was finally born.

It is an inner demon whose face is blurred and whose existence cannot be seen clearly. It is born from the evil thoughts in people's hearts. Since it has no specific thoughts, it has no specific shape. Its body shape changes like smoke.

Don’t let go of the distracting thoughts related to the illusory mind. The inner demon is a real existence, because it is the evil thought that takes the form of evil thoughts. It is naturally vicious and stubborn, and it appears in the most deadly sea of ​​​​consciousness. This is also the fundamental reason why inner demons are terrifying. They may not be very strong, but they are present in the most deadly places of cultivators as soon as they are born.

As soon as the inner demon appeared, it let out a shrill cry and rushed towards Tang Jie's soul.

The soul is invisible, so it cannot be attacked. But after turning into a soul, it has a body and a target to attack. Once killed by the inner demon, the soul will be destroyed and the person will die, so this is a dangerous disaster.

But at the same time that inner demon appeared, Tang Jie had already started chanting scriptures.

While he was chanting the scriptures, the Soul of Consciousness Sea also moved accordingly, chanting words, and golden runes actually emerged from the soul, creating a large golden light. Just when the inner demon was attacking, the golden light of the runes came out, shocking the inner demon so much that he trembled and did not dare to attack.

The next moment, Tang Jie suddenly shouted: "Go!"

I saw a word of gold shining on the inner demon, and the inner demon dispersed like ice and snow.

When the inner demon disappeared, Tang Jie felt that his soul became clearer at that moment, and his soul condensed a little faster.

But as the speed of soul condensation speeds up, the generation of demonic thoughts also becomes faster.

The next moment, two more inner demons were created out of thin air.

This time, Tang Jie suddenly saw his familiar face.

Serve Mo!

The young man's twisted face showed the most ferocious expression: "Tang Jie, give me back my life!"

This kind of inner demons with actual form and content are more terrifying than the previous simple evil thoughts. They represent the facts that have happened! The former is just an evil thought, but the latter means evil deeds. The meaning is completely different, and the strength is naturally very different.

Even if Tang Jie had a clear conscience towards Shi Mo, the fact was that he could not say that Shi Mo's death had nothing to do with him. Because of this, Shi Mo still appeared and turned into a ghost to claim his life!

Facing this fierce ghost, even Tang Jie couldn't help but sigh. Shi Mo's appearance undoubtedly touched the once soft heartstrings in his heart.

Despite this, Tang Jie still chanted the scriptures in a low voice, and a series of golden runes lit up in the sea of ​​consciousness, hitting the inner demon that had transformed into Shi Mo, suppressing it into a large black mist and dissipating it.

Tang Jie's mind became more relaxed again.

At that moment, he seemed to see Shi Mo's soul rising in the air, nodding to himself.

Tang Jie knew that it was not Shi Mo who was smiling at him, but that his heart was washing away all the past knots, making his mind more transparent, rounder and more open-minded.

The process of attacking inner demons is a process of creating a soul, a process of fighting the past, and a process of cleansing the soul.

Every time the mind is cleansed, the speed at which thoughts take shape will be accelerated. This acceleration will bring about an increase in the speed of condensation of the soul, and at the same time, an increase in the speed of the condensation of inner demons, and the danger will also increase.

However, the cultivators are unwilling to slow down because of this. After all, the faster the soul is condensed, the more complete and powerful it will be.

The result of not controlling it is that the number of new inner demons will increase.

This time, more than ten of them appeared at once. They had green faces and fangs, bared their teeth and claws, and rolled in thick black smoke. They launched attacks with shrill howls. Among them were many of the innocent souls who died under Tang Jie's sword. Evil spirits, the strength of these inner demons is obviously much stronger than before.

"Monsters and demons!" Faced with all this, Tang Jie just snorted in disdain and continued to chant the scriptures.

The series of golden runes in the sea of ​​​​consciousness suddenly condensed together and turned into a golden sword to cut down.

With just one sword strike, an inner demon has vanished into thin air.

Then the golden sword fell down one after another, each sword taking away an inner demon. After more than ten swords, clarity was restored in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Even Tang Jie couldn't help but admire that the Hui Sword Heart Sutra was really powerful and it was the best way to conquer the inner demons.

In the past, when others faced the invasion of inner demons, they mainly relied on various soul defense methods, supplemented by secret methods to kill the inner demons, so that the inner demons gradually died out during the attack. The biggest disadvantage of this approach is that the soul will inevitably be damaged, and the speed of destroying the inner demon is too slow, resulting in a slow concentration of the soul and a decrease in the strength of the soul.

The Huijian Heart Sutra has a different approach. It takes the initiative to attack, using offense instead of defense, directly killing the inner demons, and its power is unparalleled. If combined with perfect defense methods, the inner demon calamity that would be difficult for others would be nothing more than a piece of cake for Tang Jie.

It is a pity that Tang Jie is now in the Sheji Tu and has limited conditions. Although he has the Heart Sutra of Wisdom Sword, he lacks a complete method of protecting the soul. He only relies on a Pure Heart and Universal Good Formation, and his defensive capabilities are greatly insufficient. This also means that Tang Jie relied on his sword of wisdom to survive this calamity. If anything went wrong, he would be in danger.

Confronting inner demons under imperfect conditions has raised Tang Jie’s requirements to a whole new level. Even Patriarch Yun, who created the Heart Sutra of Wisdom Sword, probably has never accomplished the feat of conquering inner demons solely by relying on the Sword of Wisdom. But for Tang Jie, at this moment, there was no choice.

With the demise of the third wave of inner demons, more inner demons are emerging rapidly.

If it were someone else, they might still be dealing with the first round of inner demons at this time. Tang Jie's inner demons appeared so quickly and in large numbers that they were already far more numerous than others.

There were dozens of inner demons pouring out this time. The leader's inner demon's body was like smoke and black as ink, but that face belonged to Zhuang Shen. He was floating in the sea of ​​consciousness and screamed: "Tang Jie, give me back my life!"

Tang Jie sneered, and the soul had already spoken: "You tried to kill me but failed, and I counterattacked. It was my self-defense. I have no guilt in killing you. Why do you become my inner demon? Why don't you do it too soon? Push it away quickly!"

At these words, the soul shone brightly, and the demonic thought formed by Zhuang Shen actually shouted miserably under the white light, and then dissipated without using the sword of wisdom to chop it down.

To remove inner demons, the only way to get rid of inner demons is to have a wise sword and a clear conscience!

Those who practice morality have no fear of inner demons.

Although Tang Jie was not a saint, he did not take pleasure in killing people. Most of the people he killed were hostile people.

Hostile people may not necessarily be evil, but just as there is no guilt in killing people in war, in hostile situations, killing the enemy is also a matter of self-protection. Even if it is not completely clear, it is not to the extent that the conscience is uneasy, so although He is a demon, but his power is limited.

As for Zhuang Shen, he even took the initiative to sneak attack Tang Jie. Tang Jie didn't even have the slightest uneasiness about killing him, so he could be wiped out with just one word.

Then the brilliance of the Sword of Wisdom arose, killing all the remaining people. Wherever the Sword of Wisdom went, the inner demons were disintegrated and of course no longer existed.

Tang Jie's soul also became more determined and powerful, floating and condensing in the sea of ​​consciousness, and already had some shadow of Tang Jie himself.

The next moment, hundreds of inner demons swarmed out.

This time the inner demon is more powerful and more vicious, and the leader is Gu Changqing.

It's a pity that both Zhuang Shen and Gu Changqing are enemies. Whether you are an upright enemy or a despicable enemy, as enemies, you should be killed without mercy. Tang Jie is fearless and moves forward bravely. , letting the inner demon run rampant, he still killed everyone with one sword without any courtesy.

Next, the number of inner demons only increased by a small amount, but their strength began to increase significantly.

Those who were killed by him, harmed by him, and dealt with by him all turned into inner demons and attacked.

With the book's fame, inner demons condensed into images such as Qin Zhou, Nan Ningjiang, He Chang'an, etc. appeared one after another. Even scum like Chen Naixing, Chen Naian, and Qian Yingchen were not willing to be left alone, vying to fight against their inner demons. The form invades Tang Dynasty.

The inner demons swarmed in wave after wave, impacting Tang Jie's sea of ​​consciousness and also impacting Tang Jie's soul.

The memories of the past accompanied by the emergence of these inner demons deeply affected Tang Jie, causing Tang Jie to fall into endless memories. All kinds of noises and his past actions were intertwined in his mind, especially Those who had been owed, guilty, and sad were flooding in at this moment, affecting Tang Jie, making people's minds confused, depressed, and negative emotions completely filling their souls.

This kind of spiritual influence is also part of the inner demon tribulation. They are not conspicuous, but extremely terrifying. Like drizzle moistening things, they penetrate into the human heart silently and affect every cultivator. The accumulation of a large amount of negative emotions will make people feel tired, not confident, give up the idea of ​​resistance, weaken the strength of counterattack, etc., which will eventually lead to the invasion of inner demons and the loss of mind.

This is also the most difficult stage for practitioners to overcome the inner demon tribulation. Therefore, overcoming the inner demon tribulation has always focused on three things.

The first is the heart. As a person, you only want to have a clear conscience. I dare not say that you don’t have inner demons, but they must be few in number and the inner demons are easy to overcome. Just like Zhuang Shen, Gu Changqing and other inner demons, Tang Jie had a clear conscience and no fear at all. But he killed a lot of people, so he also had a lot of inner demons.

The second is the heart method. No matter what the original intention is, the powerful soul-protecting heart method is an indispensable foundation. Those who practice it will ultimately cultivate their strength. The Heart Sutra of Wisdom Sword is a powerful way to liberate the inner demons. Without this method, Tang Jie would have been defeated long ago.

The third is the will level, which is to resist the invasion of inner demons and distracting thoughts. Only those with a strong will cannot do this. Anyone who loses to this level will not die, but will become a demon.

Fortunately, the Xiyue Sect is also the best at this aspect. His mind was powerful and firm, and Tang Jie himself was also a determined person, so he could still hold on.

Even so, that inner demon attack still made Tang Jie feel exhausted.

Especially later on, the inner demons became stronger and stronger, and the sea of ​​consciousness was filled with roaring inner demons, attacking like crazy demons. Although Tang Jie kept urging the Sutra Wenhua Chengxin Sword to cut down, a large number of them There are many inner demons that cannot be killed, and some demons cannot even be killed with a single sword. Looking at the endless inner demons, even Tang Jie had to sigh. This was really retribution for causing too much murder in the past.

Under this situation, Tang Jie could not protect his soul from any attacks, and he would see inner demons bumping into it from time to time.

Every impact seemed to scratch Tang Jie's heart, causing Tang Jie great pain.

The defenses of the Pure Heart Universal Good Formation are becoming increasingly insufficient to resist, while the attacks from the inner demons are becoming increasingly severe.

Tang Jie's complexion turned pale, which meant that his soul had begun to be harmed by the constant attacks. This kind of damage at the soul level directly affects people, making Tang Jie feel the same way. And once the damage continues to worsen, causing irreversible injuries, even if Tang Jie understands the way of life, he will never recover. If his soul dies, he will definitely die. This is the terrible thing about the inner demon calamity.

However, Tang Jie had no way out at this time. He had to face the difficulties and overcome this hurdle.

Seeing the inner demons flying all over the sky, Tang Jie became more and more anxious as he chanted the scriptures, slashing with his heart sword continuously without stopping. The negative thoughts did not invade Tang Jie at this time, but were forced out by him.

The more critical the moment, the more fearless it is!

No negative emotions can affect him anymore. The more critical the moment, the more stable and firm Tang Jie's voice becomes. Each word is like the sound of a golden bell, beating in the sea of ​​consciousness, shaking evil thoughts and evil spirits. .

This allowed him to miraculously survive until the last moment. His soul grew in the erratic state, and finally appeared in a complete human form. It was exactly the image of Tang Jie, with a nose and eyes. Although it was generated by smoke, it was extremely clear.

As the soul finally condensed, the inner demon also released its final madness. They poured out crazily, overwhelming the entire sea of ​​consciousness, turning Tang Jie's mind into darkness.

Black energy filled the air, and even Tang Jie's eyes turned bloody. Brutality and killing once again took over, beginning to affect Tang Jie's mind.

The scriptures are still chanted~IndoMTL.com~The golden light is still flashing, the sword of wisdom is still killing, and the soul is still persisting, but all this is a drop in the bucket, and there is no hope of victory.

The will is sinking in the darkness, and the soul is falling in the darkness!

Those inner demons have begun to laugh, singing at the top of their lungs, happy for the new demons that are about to be added.

At that moment, the soul enveloped by the black mist suddenly smiled: "Do you think you will win now?"

With this voice, a new brilliance lit up, filling the entire sea of ​​consciousness.

Under this light, all the inner demons wailed loudly at the same time, melting like ice and snow, and the boundless demonic energy was also rolled away.

Tang Jie's sea of ​​consciousness suddenly became clear, and only that ray of soul sat peacefully as before

The inner demon tribulation is over!
