Chapter 8: The Self

Before the Temple of Time and Space, everyone watched Zhuo Ao walk towards the end step by step, his pace became slower and slower, sometimes, it would take a full day to take a step, a distance of 100 miles, and now he was about to reach the end, but every step was extremely slow, and even Zhuo Ao's body began to emit layers of black gas, which continued to gather into a blurred figure at the end point.

"It's a demon!" Shi Fei Ming, Kong Xuan, Meteor and the old housekeeper all looked solemn, this is the last and most difficult level, you have to overcome yourself.

What is the ego?

In the desolate world, there is a saying that the three corpses of good, evil, and self are cut off, and the self is the last level.

Zhuo Ao's path, if in the words of the flood wilderness, is to prove the Tao with strength, for him, whether it is good, evil or self, it is a part of himself, cut them off, even if he finally attains the Dao, what can he do?

Taishang is forgetful, the way of heaven is ruthless, but people are affectionate, Zhuo Ao never thought that he was too forgetful in the past, but along the way, there are some things that will always be deliberately avoided, and it is the most difficult to prove the Tao with force, but the power is the lowest, because they can't be absolutely ruthless, absolutely rational, and have the power of mixed yuan, but there is no mixed yuan realm.

But if you cut off the three corpses, will it be perfect?

No one can have the most correct answer, cultivation has reached the current realm, everyone is groping, although Hongjun is on top of this, he has taken another step, and he is in line with the way of heaven, but although he has gained invincible strength, he has also lost his autonomy, without self, even if he is strong, what is the use?

And at this moment, Zhuo Ao has to face this level, after proving the Tao with strength, if he can break through this level again, he will surpass the mixed yuan and reach the same realm as Hongjun, but this step, no one has walked, although Hongjun has arrived, but he has lost everything, that road, Zhuo Ao does not go back to choose, he has to really face himself.

Looking at the end of the road ahead, the figure that gradually became clear was almost exactly the same as himself, this is self and demons.

What is a demon?

Buddhism says that people have eight sufferings, the suffering of birth, the suffering of old age, the suffering of sickness, the suffering of death, the bitterness of resentment, the bitterness of love and parting, the bitterness of asking for nothing, and the suffering of the five yin.

This is something that everyone can't escape, whether it's a beggar, an emperor, even if it's a fairy, they can't escape the eight sufferings, every time they suffer, there will always be some regrets, more or less, but these regrets, with the precipitation of time, will gradually turn into an obsession, buried in the depths of people's hearts, and these obsessions will eventually merge into demons.

It bites people's hearts and makes people immersed in the past.

The heart demon has nothing to do with power, no matter how high the power is, even the saints have heart demons, so they need to behead the corpse, entrust their obsession with the spirit treasure, and cut off the three corpses of good, evil, and self.

In the desolation, even the six saints of the former desolation did not take this last step, but only used merit to preach the Tao, obtained the mixed yuan, and achieved the saint of the Heavenly Dao, but this last step, even if it was the Taishang saint who was too forgetful, he could not get out, and the self that Zhuo Ao had to face at the moment was the unity of three corpses, good, evil, and self, even if Hongjun finally cut off the three corpses in the past, the difficulties faced were not as good as Zhuo Ao.

Shi Fei is the closest person to this realm, so she knows very well what Zhuo Ao is facing at the moment.

Different from what Zhuo Ao thought before, when he came to this point, he had no way out, but he would perish, and after that, he would become the supreme, of course, if he escaped with the help of the emperor's qi at this moment, then in this life, he would not be qualified to challenge this realm again.

"Whew~"

Another step out, followed by a black gas rushing into the sky, turning into a black cloud, constantly condensing towards the black figure, the black and hard body became more and more condensed, even if standing at the bottom of the mountain, you can clearly identify the other party's appearance.

"It's not good, the obsession in Your Majesty's heart has been completely detonated!" The concubine's face changed, and she was shocked.

What the?

Kong Xuan was shocked when he heard this, but a fine light flashed in the eyes of the Meteor God King Qin Shuang, and his eyes were staring at the figure outside the temple, as for the old butler, he still looked light, for him, Zhuo Ao, just a pass with good potential, if he succeeds, then he will be the master of this space-time temple, if he fails, he will continue to wait for a new heir to arrive.

At the top of the mountain, outside the Temple of Time and Space, the Heart Demon and Zhuo Ao opened their eyes at the same time, and the two looked at each other, and no one spoke, because they knew that the one standing on the opposite side was themselves, and they could sense what the other party was thinking.

Zhuo Ao's expression is very light, plain, but with majesty and domineering, but this majesty and domineering will not affect anyone, a kind of complete restraint.

And the demon Zhuo Ao, with the same temperament, is domineering and wanton in him, even if everyone is standing at the foot of the mountain, except for the soulless old butler, everyone feels an indescribable depression, and there is an urge to kneel and worship.

The endless black qi gradually condensed into a pitch-black dragon chanting spear, looking at Zhuo Ao himself coldly, and the endless furious qi machine crushed towards Zhuo Ao.

But Zhuo Ao is like a mountain, no matter how violent his momentum is, he has not wavered in the slightest.

In everyone's nervous gaze, the heart demon Zhuo Ao stabbed out with a shot, there was no broken space, but the entire space-time temple shook, even if it was Shi Fei Cheng and others, there was an unspeakable panic at this moment, the black dragon chanting gun, although it was slashed at Zhuo Ao, but it seemed to be a ubiquitous gun intent, but it made everyone feel like a man's back.

Zhuo Ao still didn't make a move, just quietly looked at the heart demon clone, his eyes became extremely pure, as if the gun that seemed to envelop the whole world was not stabbing at him, and it seemed that he and the heart demon were in two different planes, and the attack of the heart demon could not hurt him in the slightest.

"Hum~"

Everyone watched in disbelief as the demon pierced Zhuo Ao's body with a shot, and Zhuo Ao didn't even fight back, allowing the other party to pierce his body.

"Why!?" The demon looked at Zhuo Ao in disbelief, his gun had already pierced Zhuo Ao, but to his disbelief, it was as if it had pierced the air, and there was no hindrance.

"You're me!" Zhuo Ao looked at the demon in his heart, shook his head and said: "Whether it is good or evil or self, it is a part of my life, why do you want to cut it?" ”

"You won't kill me, but I will kill you!" The heart demon Zhuo Ao stared at Zhuo Ao calmly, and the unbelieving one stabbed out again.

"Don't you understand?" Zhuo Ao shook his head, looked at the heart demon and said: "You can't kill me, or rather, you can't kill anyone, because you shouldn't exist yourself, you are just a part of me." ”

"Impossible!" The heart demon stabbed out three times in a row, but it still didn't work at all.

At the foot of the mountain, Kong Xuan looked at this scene in disbelief, the shot that made his Dao heart almost collapse couldn't hurt Zhuo Ao in the slightest.

"What's going on?" Kong Xuan turned his head and looked at Concubine Shi with a blank expression.

"Your Majesty has won!" There was a bit of irrepressible excitement in Shi Fei's eyes, although even she couldn't see the reason for this, but there was no doubt that Zhuo Ao was already in absolute power.

"Roar~"

An angry roar made the entire space-time temple tremble, but in everyone's surprised gaze, the proud body of the heart demon disappeared bit by bit, until it completely dissipated, turning into a pure black qi.

Yes, it's pure.

If it is said that the black qi that condensed into the heart demon Zhuo Ao before was a kind of black qi with a bit of evil and obscurity, then the heart demon that has re-transformed into the form of black qi at this moment has a dark golden luster, adding a bit of mystery and luxury.

The boundless black qi gathered towards Zhuo Ao again, and frantically poured into Zhuo Ao's body, but Zhuo Ao's face was neither happy nor sad, allowing the black qi to pour into his body, looking up, looking at the Temple of Time and Space, with a somewhat solemn look on his face, he walked into the temple step by step.

"Boom~"

The heavy door of the temple slowly closed the moment Zhuo Ao stepped into the temple, and Zhuo Ao could not see any sad and joyful look on his face.

In the center of the Temple of Time and Space, a pillar of blue light fell from the sky, and gradually, an afterimage converged, Zhuo Ao looked at each other, his eyes widened suddenly, and a sense of absurdity surged from his heart...... (To be continued.) )
