Dedicate One’s Mind

The Tao is like a whip. Since the monks set out on the road of spiritual practice, it has been whipping the monks to keep moving forward. Otherwise, the Tao will disappear after death.

Since Ge Xuanlang has passed away, Wu Yi, as a disciple, naturally has to go to express his condolences. However, it is night and it is the inner demon who shows up.

After the inner demon steals Wu Yi's shadow clone, he can be separated from Wu Yi for a short distance. He does not have to be with Wu Yi. In the same way, since the inner demon comes out at night, Wu Yi does not have to go to Ge. Xuan Lang's funeral, but if the funeral lasts until daytime, then the inner demon will have invaded Wu Yi's power. It was just a matter of seeking a breakthrough before, but now that he has woken up, he cannot Dividing power and authority among the inner demons will inevitably make the inner demons feel that he is weak and can be bullied.

After hearing the bell, the inner demon also understood what happened. After all, it was the one who had met He Wei before. But it was certain that Wang Chuchen would also be there. For people at the Jindan level, these illusions are very important to them. There was no impact at all, so the inner demon did not use illusions to cover the body. The blood flowed around the body, and a body of flesh and blood immediately appeared.

Wu Yi relied on the inexplicable connection with the shadow clone in the shadow escape method to possess the inner demon, just like a shadow. This is one of the characteristics of shadow escape. If you don't take action, the difference between the main body and the shadow clone will become smaller and smaller.

Although the inner demon is independent, what it steals is Wu Yi's shadow clone. Wu Yi can still use some shadow escape techniques to communicate with the shadow clone. If the inner demon is willing, it can cut off this connection at any time, but for some reason the inner demon does not do so, which also gives Wu Yi the opportunity to hide behind the inner demon. Of course, this connection is two-way, and the inner demons can also hide behind Wu Yi when Wu Yi comes forward.

The inner demon pushed open the stone door and headed to Mingdao Peak in no hurry. Although Ge Xuanlang lived on Zhenming Peak on weekdays, since he was conducting funerals with the respect of the temple master, he would naturally hold the funeral on Mingdao Peak, the main peak.

Along the way, Wu Yi rarely saw items such as soul-drawing flags and soul-drawing paper. After all, Ge Xuanlang was practicing the inner alchemy path, not the classic sect. Classical monks study and verify the classics and worship the manifestations of human and divine beings. Generally speaking, most of the classical monks practice Shinto. According to their own sect's divine system, they are inspired by heaven's heart and practice throughout their lives. They just want to leave their names in the writings of the gods and gain the incense of Shinto.

Ge Xuanlang didn't seek to become a god, and naturally he didn't have so many chores. He seemed very deserted. The inner demon had already arrived relatively late. It had the intention to stand around the new disciples, but those disciples knew that Wu Yi was not The objects in the pool, wherever they dared to stand side by side with Wu Yi, retreated away.

The inner demon had no choice but to see that the disciples above the peak of the Fourth Transformation formed their own faction, so they stood on that side. As soon as he stood still, Wu Yi heard several disciples behind him talking about Ge Xuanlang's death.

"I heard that if I hadn't spent too much energy to give birth to my youngest daughter, Ge Yiyi, the old temple master would have been able to live for two more years."

"The old temple master has no confidence in his two sons and is afraid that they will not be able to support Ge's family."

Another person interrupted the conversation between the two and said: "Be careful, the youngest daughter of the Ge family will be married to the Xu family soon, and the Ge family's status in the family may not necessarily drop much."

The two of them stopped talking very wisely. What they were talking about before had already involved the re-division of the forces in the temple. Naturally, it was inconvenient. Even if they talked, they would not talk in public.

But then the two of them talked about the style of the Xu family disciple, and there were various opinions. Wu Yi, who was hiding behind his inner demon, did not continue to listen.

It was just the first time Wu Yi heard about Ge Yiyi's marriage to the Xu family, but thinking it was just a normal marriage between these families, Wu Yi didn't take it to heart.

The intersection between Wu Yi and Ge Yiyi was concentrated during the birthday banquet of Emperor Gengshi, especially the period before leaving. Wu Yi could not say that he had much favorable impression of such a woman from a small background but not domineering, but at least he did not have any bad feelings.

The solemn and majestic bell rang again, and the funeral ceremony officially began.

Wang Chuchen came forward and first gave a brief account of Ge Xuanlang's life. Naturally, he was covering up his faults and taking advantage of them. Finally, he lamented his death and the loss of another companion on the road.

After the king finished speaking, all the disciples bowed and did not get up for a long time.

After the ceremony, all the disciples stood up and watched in solemn silence as the Ge clan members carried Ge Xuanlang's body away. The entire ceremony was considered over.

It seems very simple, but if Ge Xuanlang died in the inner sect at this time, he might not even be able to be buried in peace, let alone someone to see him off. It is precisely because Ge Xuanlang once served as a spectator in the outer sect. Only the Lord has this honor, and the immortal way should be kept simple, especially for the inner alchemy way that pays attention to one's own practice.

Wu Yi watched the Ge clan members send Ge Xuanlang's body away without any emotion in his heart. He had already lamented Ge Xuanlang's death before. If he still had that thought at this time, it would be a bit sad, and he was pretending to sigh. , which simply confused his mood.

His current goal is to become a true disciple as soon as possible. The world of the outer sect can no longer accommodate him, and he is not very interested in the changes in power that will occur after Ge Xuanlang's death.

After everything was done, the inner demon returned to the cave, and Wu Yi naturally came back with him. He went out and walked around. At such a close distance, none of the disciples found Wu Yi's main body, which shows that the shadow escape effect is quite good.

Of course, the inner demon cannot be regarded as a shadow clone. It is an independent existence. Rather than saying that the effect of shadow escape is good, it is better to say that the ability of the inner demon to imitate is too powerful and others are not aware of it.

After leaving the inner demon, Wu Yi examined himself. Wu Yi suddenly remembered that he had not seen the black beetle for a long time, especially when he was in the inner gate with Bai Ze, the old monster, above his head. Wu Yi did not dare to relax his mind to prevent being discovered.

As he gradually came into contact with more things in the cultivation world, Wu Yi became more and more curious about the black beetle, but as his curiosity was satisfied little by little, Wu Yi's uneasiness became more and more serious.

When Wu Yi was still a mortal, he dared to bargain with the black beetle. Now he thought that he was really a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers. In Wu Yi's eyes, Bai Ze was already a real immortal on land, but the last time Bai Ze used Taoism on him, he could clearly feel that the level of the black beetle was probably higher than Bai Ze.

Why did the black beetle of such a high level follow him? Is its origin really as it said? What is the flame surrounding it? Wu Yi has too many doubts waiting to be solved.

Perhaps Ge Xuanlang's death made Wu Yi feel sad. He didn't want to continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb. He wanted to take a firm step on the road of the Great Dao. Wu Yi's mind entered the bead.

After not seeing it for a few months, Wu Yi was surprised that the black beetle had expanded several times. The entire flame encirclement was barely able to trap it. The flame pattern on the back shell was clearer, and different things could be seen every time he looked at it.

Seeing Wu Yi coming, the black beetle opened its mouth and burped, but flames appeared with the opening of the black beetle's mouth. Sensing the flame breath, Wu Yi suddenly remembered that when he lived in the inner bamboo building, the bead swallowed up the fire vein that led directly to the alchemy room.

Now it seems that it should be nourished by the earth fire that the black beetle has progressed so fast.

This breath is probably about to be a golden elixir. Wu Yi was secretly shocked.

"Why are you practicing so slowly." The black beetle started to complain about Wu Yi. The black beetle was originally an immortal, and its body contained the Great Dao. As long as it had everything, breaking through was a piece of cake for it.

Wu Yi did not argue with the black beetle. He was attracted by the flame pattern on its back after the black beetle broke through. Before, perhaps because the black beetle was too small, the pattern was a little curled up and could not be seen clearly, or perhaps because his realm was not yet reached. Now that his spiritual consciousness was born, he could naturally see more things.

The black beetle looked at Wu Yi's absent-minded look, knowing that he was attracted by the Great Dao on his back, and did not intervene too much. Although it controlled a complete Great Dao, it would not be able to exert the power of the Great Dao if it did not reach a certain realm, and outsiders should not even think of peeping into the secret of becoming an immortal. The reason why Wu Yi lost his mind at this time was because he was caught in a confrontation of Dao rhyme.

The Great Dao of Burning of the Burning Emperor and Wu Yi's own Great Dao of Tranquility.

Not only Wu Yi's spiritual clone in the bead, but also Wu Yi's main body in the outside world were caught in this confrontation. If Wu Yi had not used illusion to cover his body before entering the bead, it was unknown how the inner demon would react. But the inner demon also used illusion to cover its body. Although Wu Yi and the inner demon were in the same room, they were separated by two illusions.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, Wu Yi looked at the familiar scene in front of him. It was the scene of the volcanic eruption he saw in the Burning Emperor World. The fiery magma surged past, burning everything, and everything returned to one.

But this time he was no longer watching as a bystander, but really felt the hot breath, as if it was going to burn him to ashes.

Feeling the breath of death, Wu Yi subconsciously stepped back. Fortunately for Wu Yi, the speed of the magma spread was much slower than his retreat speed, but the more he retreated, the more Wu Yi felt something was wrong. The fiery magma disappeared, but a piercing chill came.

Wu Yi stopped and stopped retreating, but the chill kept invading, forcing Wu Yi to retreat in the direction of the magma.

With magma in front and chill behind, Wu Yi was caught in a dilemma.

Wu Yi retreated to an intermediate zone and did not take any action. He was recalling everything that had happened before and thinking about how to break it.

He remembered that after seeing the flame pattern on the back of the black beetle, he thought of the will of the Burning Emperor to break and then stand up, and then his consciousness was pulled here.

It was similar to the confrontation with the Heart Demon Daoyun. Wu Yi calmed down and looked around, and he knew how to break the situation.

Waiting for the magma and coldness to sweep over, Wu Yi sat cross-legged in the center, like an old monk in meditation.

One side was cold, and the other side was hot, which could be called ice and fire. Wu Yi was not panicked. At this time, for some reason, Wu Yi silently recited the Qingxin Mantra in his heart.

On the contrary, at such a critical moment, Wu Yi recited the Qingxin Mantra much slower, and there were long sounds between each word, like a dream.

The magma and coldness arrived as expected, and met at Wu Yi's place. The cold and hot collided, and a tug-of-war broke out. Wu Yi in the center was like sitting in an ice cave for a while, and like lying on a volcano for a while.

As the temperature alternated between hot and cold, the body condensed by Wu Yi's spiritual consciousness had cracks, which then expanded and spread to the whole body. Wu Yi was like a porcelain doll that was about to break.

Wu Yi continued to chant the Heart Purification Mantra, as if his body was intact. "Squeak", a piece of his body slid down, and then caused a domino effect, and the body condensed by Wu Yi's spiritual consciousness was completely broken.

The confrontation between magma and coldness also had a result at this time. The magma seemed to have received a reinforcement, and it was full of momentum and drove away all the coldness.

Wu Yi's broken body was worn away bit by bit in the surging magma, but the essence was not lost. The magma seemed to help Wu Yi refine the impurities in his spiritual consciousness, making it more condensed.

These remaining essences flew up into the sky little by little and gathered around Wu Yi. However, Wu Yi, who was reciting the Pure Heart Mantra, had no idea of ​​gathering. Instead, he continued to recite the Pure Heart Mantra. Gradually, the "impurities" in the spiritual consciousness that had been stripped away by the magma gradually "Also appeared little by little.

Only then did Wu Yi gather the fragments of spiritual consciousness together. When his body was completely assembled, the world disappeared little by little.

Seeing that Wu Yi finally resisted choosing the benefits of condensing spiritual consciousness, Black Beetle sighed.

This benefit is real, but if Wu Yi really chose it at that time, it would mean admitting that the Burning Emperor Dao Yun is stronger than his own Dao Yun. The Dao Yun controlled by Wu Yi now may not be the Dao of Jingzhi, but the Dao Yun of Jingzhi. It’s the Great Way of Burning.

The battle between Tao and Yun is extremely dangerous.
