More than two months ago - Qizhongyuan class

"Okay, we're here for today's class, and there is no homework today as before, but there will be a basic theory exam the day after tomorrow, and I have my own questions, so it's better to review it when I go back. In addition, although it will be an inner court selection competition soon, you should not be too nervous. Practitioners, what you have to do is patience and get out of class. Putting the whip in his hand on the podium, Ren Pingsheng said slowly while closing the book, and the students also stood up and left the classroom. Seeing that the students had almost left the classroom, Ren Pingsheng also carried his guqin that never left him, and was about to leave, but he heard a slightly immature but full of complexion voice-

"Teacher Ren, please wait a minute. ”

"Chaoxiao-san, is there anything wrong?"

When Ren Pingsheng heard the voice, he subconsciously turned his head and found that it was Ye Chaoxiao who had been silent at the end of the day who stopped him. Ren Pingsheng didn't wrinkle slightly, and quickly let go, and asked with a smile. Although he works hard in cultivation and study on weekdays, he doesn't seem to be good at talking to others, and he has been silent in the class for a long time, and he has little sense of existence, so he has a good relationship with Xiang Bucai. This is still the first time that Ye Chaoxiao has found Ren Pingsheng to ask questions, what is the purpose of such an interesting kid? Thinking of this, the corners of Ren Pingsheng's mouth seemed to rise a little more.

"Teacher Ren, I have a question, you said that the three treasures of essence, qi and god were originally one, in which the cultivation of 'essence' is the painful tempering of the physical body, and the cultivation of 'qi' lies in the boredom and danger of constantly refining the battle qi, but if it is a simple cultivation of 'god', what kind of difficulties will there be?"

"No matter whether you are gifted or stupid, if you embark on the path of cultivation, it is destined to be a path that is unbearable for ordinary people, and every step on the road will make you unforgettable. If you don't have a strong will to support you, you will want to give up every minute and every second; Refining the battle qi, thousands of cycles of repeated boredom even make people go back to nostalgia for the physical torture. However, these are not the most difficult things on the cultivation path, when your cultivation is really high to a certain point, then you will find that the real difficulty, or the things that really make a cultivator feel fearful, come from here. Ren Pingsheng said slowly, pointed to his chest, paused, and his tone seemed to be a lot more serious:

"Especially if you major in soul power, you're bound to run into him—there's no trick to deal with him, only to defeat him completely. ”

——

"But don't forget, this is my sea of knowledge, you can use the power of sea knowledge, and so can I! Now, we are fair one-on-one, come on, my inner demon!"

"Hah...... Hahahaha! It's me, it's really not so easy to solve, but I want to see how you can defeat me!" Looking at the sudden surging battle intent on Ye Chaoxiao's body, the heart demon frowned, he didn't seem to expect things to be so tricky, but it didn't take long for him to laugh out loud, and said with a slightly crazy look. The long knife in his hand flashed with a sharp cold light, and he rushed towards Ye Chaoxiao with one step, Ye Chaoxiao didn't dare to be careless, picked up the blade in his hand and faced it head-on, and the collision of the two long knives continued to echo in this empty sea of knowledge. Facing the same existence as himself, the two figures did not spare the slightest hand, you stabbed me and I stabbed, all of them were mercilessly fighting towards each other's vital points. Blood splattered out, staining both figures with blood, and it was impossible to tell whether it was their own blood or the other's blood.

"Drink!"

The two figures fought fiercely in this vast sea of knowledge, and the battle between the two sides had already entered a white-hot process, and each other had almost given up defense and replaced it with a crazy attack. It was at this time that the heart demon seized the flaw in Ye Chaoxiao's forward attack, and kicked Ye Chaoxiao's stomach quickly and powerfully, and then Ye Chaoxiao's whole person flew upside down like a broken kite. Where would the heart demon give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, quickly catch up with him and want to take advantage of the victory to pursue, a jump slash slashed towards Ye Chaoxiao's heart, Ye Chaoxiao subconsciously wanted to use the long knife in his hand to defend, but the long knife in his hand touched the blade of the heart demon and was quickly cut like paper, and it was also thanks to Ye Chaoxiao to let go of the blade in his hand in time, otherwise the arm that had already been cut down by the heart demon's blow would have been cut down.

Looking at Ye Chaoxiao, who had lost his weapon and was half-kneeling on the side in embarrassment, the demon couldn't help laughing, although he himself was already covered in injuries and gasping for air, it was not much better in comparison. However, but none of this is important, because the heart demon himself knows that he has won this battle, he is Ye Chaoxiao's heart demon, and his strength also comes from Ye Chaoxiao, and the power of mobilizing and forming this long knife in the vast sea of terror is the limit of him and Ye Chaoxiao. And now, Ye Chaoxiao's long knife has been cut off by him, but his own blade is still unscathed, and he has no doubt that he has won the final victory. That's it, with a winner's posture and mentality, the heart demon slowly walked in front of Ye Chaoxiao while panting, and said with this mocking smile:

"How, how does this feel! In this world of the jungle, it is your misfortune to be a weak, and you still yearn for the days of the weak, hum, you will always be a waste if you stay in that memory, and only by completely cutting off the past can you become stronger. However, since you are unwilling to do it, I will kill this fragile you, become you, become a strong man, this time it is true, get on the road......" The heart demon said with a sneer, and raised the blade in his hand again, although it had experienced hundreds of fierce collisions, the edge of the long knife still made people shudder. But at this time, the words of the heart demon suddenly stopped, and the movements in his hands were fixed in mid-air as if frozen, his eyes widened, and he looked at his chest in disbelief, and a small and delicate sharp dagger was inserted into it, which had instantly penetrated his heart.

"Boom—"

The sharp long knife in his hand fell to the ground, and then turned into powder, and disappeared into the gray-white vast sea of knowledge without the slightest bit of life. The heart demon took his gaze away from his chest with great difficulty, and shifted it to the owner of the hand holding the dagger, and was about to say something, but his mouth spit out a mouthful of red blood, and said with a wry smile:

"No wonder...... That blow just now can actually cut off your blade, it turns out ...... It turns out that you didn't use all your power on the condensation of that long knife at all, but ...... There's another backhand...... That's really your style."

"You're right, if I have been trapped in the memories of the past, I can't make any progress, but that's also my memory, it's really something that exists, something I can't deny, why do you say that it can be destroyed!" Looking at his inner demon, Ye Chaoxiao said word by word, every time he said a word, the force of the hand holding the dagger increased by one point, until the last word just fell, the dagger actually directly cut the entire body of the inner demon in half, and then turned into the finest powder and disappeared into this vast sea of consciousness. In this vast sea of knowledge, only the voice of the inner demon is left to echo with some grievances and some unwillingness-

"I'll be back....."

"I know, if you don't come back, how can I be honest ......?"
