154. Chapter 153: The Evil Devil in the Heart
A demon from the Abyss shouting to kill evil spirits?
Qiu Zhen and the monk Zhen Kong didn't laugh upon hearing Fairy Yun Rou's words; instead, their expressions turned grave.
Heaven is divided into clear and turbid energies.
The so-called "Demon Abyss" is a place of ultimate turbidity and evil.
The Qi of ultimate turbidity and evil obliterates spirituality. Whether it's a martial artist who refines their body with evil Qi, a monster, or even a proper demon or evil spirit, none can survive in the "Demon Abyss."
Only true "Demon Heads" can reside in the Demon Abyss for long.
What is a "true Demon Head"?
Having consciousness, thoughts, or spirituality doesn't qualify one as a "true Demon Head."
Even extraterrestrial demons are excluded.
Only heart demon evil spirits formed from obsessions like hatred, greed, delusion, attachment, resentment, and infatuation can be called "true Demon Heads."
When a cultivator of today completely succumbs to Qi deviation, if they aren't possessed by an extraterrestrial demon from a [Foundation Establishment Treasure], they will be replaced by the obsessions of their heart demon, becoming a soulless being driven only by obsession.
Heart demon evil spirits live for their obsessions. They either roam the world causing havoc or escape into the Demon Abyss. Their actions are mostly traceable.
But now, heart demon evil spirits are actually shouting the slogan of killing "demons and evil spirits" and pouring into Chang Le Prefecture.
This is truly strange.
Qiu Zhen was secretly alarmed and asked:
"Fairy, is the heart demon evil spirit riot related to the heaven-shrouding giant hand a few days ago?"
"I don't know about that. The higher-ups haven't given any explanation yet. Perhaps it's just a coincidence that these two things happened together."
Fairy Yun Rou shook her head and smiled freely:
"Anyway, it has nothing to do with you and me. Our cultivation is too low to participate in these matters."
"It actually caused such a big commotion."
Qiu Zhen muttered to himself, his heart filled with complex emotions.
According to Fairy Yun Rou, martial arts grandmasters and Yuan Shen experts in Chang Le Prefecture all sensed the appearance of the heaven-shrouding giant hand.
A palm covering an entire prefecture—the scale of it is far beyond his imagination.
Where exactly did this killing tribulation from the void come from?
And is the heart demon evil spirit riot affected by the heaven-shrouding giant hand?
Who are the "demons and evil spirits" in the heart demon evil spirits' mouths?
Qiu Zhen's heart was full of doubts.
However, he couldn't figure it out for a while.
Immediately, his gaze fell on Bai Shu and Xiao Zaozi, who were standing aside waiting.
"Xiao Zaozi, transform into the [Heart Master Precious Seal]."
"Okay!"
Xiao Zaozi responded.
A burst of white mist rose.
Immediately, Xiao Zaozi transformed into a two-and-two-tenths inch square seal, engraved with a monkey and a horse, with the four characters [Heart Master Seal] written below. It radiated a faint golden light of thunder, with faint celestial scripts appearing, exuding a mysterious aura.
"It's done; the Heart Master lineage is established!"
Qiu Zhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the [Heart Master Precious Seal]'s phenomenon.
He was afraid that the celestial script of the [Heart Master Precious Seal] would be destroyed under the heaven-shrouding giant hand.
It would be too depressing to be injured for nothing and gain nothing.
As for the danger behind the "Heart Master lineage"…
He didn't take it to heart.
From the moment he entered the world of cultivation, although he acted in a low-key manner, he had never been afraid of anything.
He started by cultivating the Nine Deaths, One Life technique, a method of alchemy that others dared not cultivate. He never regretted anything he had done.
Screw it!
As the saying goes, the most profitable business in the world is written in the law.
If you don't let me widely spread the [Heart Monkey Great Art], then I, your Daoist master, will insist on establishing a Dao lineage and spreading the Dharma.
"Young Master, what are the wonderful uses of the seal transformed from Xiao Zaozi?"
Bai Shu looked around the [Heart Master Precious Seal], very curious.
"Its uses are great. This seal has the divine power to summon divine generals. Not only can it summon my [Heart Monkey Divine General], but it can also dispatch Yun Rou's, the monk's, and Yu Chanzi's [Heart Monkey Divine Generals]. With this seal, I have the power to command. It is the symbol of authority of my Heart Master lineage. It has great power to slay demons, eliminate evil, and cure diseases."
Bai Shu was envious when he heard this:
"So powerful!"
"Of course."
Qiu Zhen was very optimistic about the [Heart Master Precious Seal]. Xiao Zaozi's main body was thunder-struck jujube wood, and he also had cultivation. Now he has integrated the "Heart Master lineage" into one body, and his potential is infinite. He is expected to become his most powerful magic weapon.
Immediately, he didn't think much about it. He held the [Heart Master Precious Seal] in his hand and refined the seal with his own [Heart Monkey Divine General], merging with it.
In addition, he used his mind in two ways, entering stillness and concentration, turning his eyes back to adjust his Yuan Shen wisdom golden light, and recovering from his Yuan Shen injuries…
The next morning.
Qiu Zhen left the Qiu Zhen Mountain Valley.
After a night of refining, the [Heart Master Precious Seal] transformed from Xiao Zaozi was connected to his mind and controlled by his heart. It could be regarded as the initial refining of this Daoist seal.
As for the Yuan Shen injuries, they could not be healed for a while.
Fortunately, only the Yuan Shen was injured, which did not affect his travel. His martial arts and mana were still there.
Out of the valley, Qiu Zhen appeared in the backyard of the Qiu residence, just in time to see his eldest brother Qiu Qing doing morning exercises in the backyard.
The [Pure Yang Eight Section Brocade] was quite skilled in the hands of his eldest brother.
Between each move of the fist technique, the momentum was majestic, and the wind was strong.
During the exercise, white mist rose from the top of Qiu Qing's head. More importantly, the Qi and blood in his eldest brother Qiu Qing's body were boiling, with a surging and endless phenomenon.
The surging of Qi and blood was obviously a sign that martial arts practice had reached a certain level.
"The level is not bad."
Qiu Qing, who was practicing martial arts, turned his head when he heard this and was delighted to see his younger brother:
"Little brother."
"Big brother, congratulations, congratulations. In a few days, you will be able to achieve the first level of martial artist."
Qiu Zhen cupped his hands in congratulations, with a faint smile on his face.
"Hehe, little brother, you can see it."
Qiu Qing looked delighted, his face full of dreamy colors:
"Thanks to you, little brother. In the past, I didn't even dare to think about martial artists. I didn't expect that I could become a martial artist too."
"A mere first-level martial artist is nothing. Big brother, practice martial arts well in the future, break through the martial arts hall, and becoming a Houtian Great Perfection martial artist will not be a problem."
Qiu Zhen smiled and encouraged.
As long as his eldest brother Qiu Qing practiced martial arts diligently, and he regularly gave him elixirs to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the essence and solidify the Qi, becoming a Houtian Great Perfection martial artist was basically a certainty.
It doesn't matter if his eldest brother's talent is a little worse, it just takes more effort.
The world is in chaos now, and he is more at ease if his eldest brother Qiu Qing has martial arts skills.
"Big brother, when you achieve the first level of martial artist and initially stabilize your Qi and blood, you will be able to marry and have children later."
"Ah~ Can I get married?"
Qiu Qing was overjoyed, but perhaps he realized that he was a little out of control and smiled embarrassedly:
"Hehe~ I'm not in a hurry. What's so good about getting married? Practicing martial arts is better."
"Really? If that's the case, I won't let my parents arrange it. It's good not to get married, it's good for practicing martial arts."
"Ah!"
Qiu Qing was anxious when he heard this. He was in his twenties, the age when Qi and blood were strong, and he had been thinking about a wife for a long time.
He was just being polite.
"No, little brother, I…"
"Hahahaha~"
"You kid!"
Qiu Qing saw his younger brother laughing and immediately understood that his younger brother was teasing him. His face flushed and he quickly changed the subject:
"I won't talk to you anymore. Little brother, you have been in seclusion these past few days. Chief Steward An has come to the village several times to find you, saying that Apothecary An has something to ask you."
