However, I don't know why, this time, Xiao Mo only retreated in the room for three days, and then had to leave the customs in advance.

At this time, it is not as good as a person who has entered the fifth layer, not to mention, he is now on the eighth floor, and he can generally enter the eighth layer for at least a month.

And with the progress of cultivation, it should be able to last even longer.

"Why is that?"

Of course, Xiao Mo knew that this was not because he had regressed in the realm of concentration, but that at the foot of the Purple Palace Mountain that day, he witnessed the battle between the elite disciples of the two great palaces, which made him have an epiphany.

It's just that this epiphany can't be transformed into the driving force for his progress for a while, but instead becomes a demon that disrupts his daily cultivation steps.

The more this is the case, the more difficult it is for him to break through successfully.

Entering the eighth grade, the first birth of the demon is not a joke.

What is a demon in the heart?

Everyone in the world says that there are two sides to the human heart, no matter who it is, it is not difficult to have only pure good and pure evil sides, but sometimes what is shown in front of others may be the best and the worst, but all this is only because it hides the other side, not non-existent.

Therefore, the demons in the heart refer to the evil thoughts in the hearts of people, and also refer to the desires.

When a heart cultivator breaks through, there are not only obstacles and bottlenecks that martial arts monks must encounter when they advance to the realm, but the most serious and terrifying thing is this heart demon.

Monks in the early and middle stages of the Concentration Realm are not troubled by inner demons, because at that time, the realm is still reached, and the mind is still very pure, and inner demons cannot be born at all.

However, with the improvement of the state of concentration, the extension of time, and the strength of spiritual cultivation, it also gives the soil for the cultivation of inner demons.

The higher the cultivation, the stronger the mind, the easier it is to breed inner demons, and the more powerful these breeding demons are.

Inner demons can create illusions that will make you addicted, point you to the wrong path, break your mind, and even be completely controlled by them.

Therefore, the biggest enemy of a person who cultivates the heart in his life is neither the enemy of the world, nor the various bottlenecks encountered when advancing to the realm, but this layer of inner demons.

The inner demon will be strengthened with the enhancement of the body, that is to say, it will never be able to kill, it cannot be removed, you are there, he is there, you die, he may not die.

Greed, hatred, ignorance, delusion, attachment, resentment, and hatred are all easy to produce inner demons, and feed the growth of inner demons.

All the negative emotions in the human heart are the food in the mouth of the demons.

The more negative emotions there are, the more greedy desires there are, and the more terrifying the demons become. It can devour people's hearts, it can turn white to black, it can make people lose their minds, and when you look for it, it can hide, it can disguise......

However, once you can defeat the demons again and again, it will be like a whetstone, sharpening your mind to be purer, more tenacious, and more flawless, and your state of mind cultivation will be higher.

Therefore, the existence of the heart demon is of course the number one enemy of all heart cultivation, but it is also the best tool to train oneself, and every time you defeat the heart demon, your strength will make great progress.

The more powerful the demons, once defeated, the more amazing the growth gained.

Therefore, the ancients said that man's greatest enemy is often himself, and if he defeats himself, he can get a breakthrough.

And in the later stage of heart cultivation, as the heart demons continue to grow, they become more and more terrifying, and many people who cannot defeat the heart demons will be enslaved by the heart demons, become slaves of the heart demons, and their bodies will be dominated by the heart demons, becoming worldly "demons!"

The Heart Saint Continent is not a stable and peaceful world, where a large number of demon-defeated beings and demon-possessed monks compete with each other in this world, killing each other, forming two distinct factions.

As for the people of the demons, as long as they continue to grow their desires and greed, they can continue to grow, so the speed of progress is several times, or even dozens of times, that of the people of the heart cultivators.

And the heart cultivator, in the later stage, still has to constantly fight against the heart demon, and even to the last step of the sainthood, is to slay the heart demon.

Only by completely cutting off the demons in the heart and cutting off the other self can we truly get rid of the five elements, travel the world and become the immortal saint.

It's a pity that this step is too difficult, no one in the world has their own demons who are more aware of their weaknesses, and wanting to cut off another self is often not inferior to suicide. 、

Many people fail on this road, many people wander on this road, since ancient times, the real can completely kill the demons and achieve the most holy, there is only one heart saint.

Otherwise, if it weren't for the fact that the level of the Heart Demon was too difficult, for more than 4,500 years, there would not be one person who was a heart saint, and everyone else could only reach the realm of a quasi-saint, that is, a great sage.

There are salient beings in heaven and earth, and the essence of all living beings gathers to produce sages.

The saint is the peak, the virtuous is the spine, and under the most holy, it is the great sage, and the great sage is another title for the quasi-saint.

For thousands of years, there are not a few people who can reach the level of virtuous, but either some people have been stubborn and unwilling to experience the terrible scene of the heart slashing demon, or they have failed to cut the path and completely disappeared.

Even some people, their hearts completely collapsed in the process of cutting the Dao, and they became the most terrifying demons in the Heart Saint Continent over the years, often causing a bloody storm.

Xiao Mo hasn't reached that point yet, the chopping road is still 108,000 miles away from him, and he may not even be able to go there in this life.

However, it is not a joke to enter the eighth grade and the demons are born.

Entering the Eight Grades of Concentration is equivalent to entering the late stage of entering the Concentration Realm, and entering the late stage of the Concentration Realm, the cultivation of the mind and mind already has enough soil for the cultivation of demons.

This step is the most difficult step for many people, and it is also the most critical step.

This is also why, many people enter the eighth grade, but when they enter the eighth grade and are promoted to the ninth grade, it is like a moat across the sky, and it needs to be delayed for a long time.

Between the eighth grade and the ninth grade, it is a very huge difficulty.

Xiao Mo had just entered the Dingbai Rank, and the heart demon was born for the first time, and he hadn't realized it yet. However, the truth of the inner demon has affected his mind and actions in his subconscious, which is the reason why the inner demon is terrifying.

He's there, he's watching you, he's influencing you, and you're not aware of it.

It is not until one day that your mind is full of dirt and there is a problem with your cultivation that you can suddenly realize that it is too late to repent, and what a terrible thing it is.

Xiao Mo decided not to forcibly retreat anymore, even if he continued to retreat like this, it would be useless.

This time, he decided to take a good walk in Haicheng, see more, listen more, and experience more.

Only in this way, with an open mind, maybe everything will be solved. Retreat and penance are penances that do not produce anything, but when you realize it, you really arrive.

Leaving the inn, before he knew it, he had once again come to the alley, to the flower shop.

This time, he didn't hesitate and walked straight over.

Three days ago, the Tsing Yi female teacher I saw here was not here. Obviously, as one of the inner courtyard disciples of the Shanhai Academy, she can't appear in this small flower shop at any time, and she must have her own things to do on weekdays.

Another girl in the small restaurant where beef was eaten told Xiao Mo that Qu Feiyan Xiao Mo had not seen it, and it may not be here.

However, the owner of the flower shop who saw it for the first time, that is, the old man with a three-sheep-beard in green cloth clothes, appeared in Xiao Mo's sight again.

He was still so ordinary and casual, but holding the shower, watering the branches, and every move made Xiao Mo's heart calm down all of a sudden.

He stood aside, silently watching, not accosting or disturbing, and the old man, seeing him coming, did not say anything, just smiled at him, and then went on doing his own thing.

In this way, the two of them did one and the other watched, and before they knew it, time passed quickly, and it was already night in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Mo returned to the inn, the old man took the flower plate back into the house, closed the door of the store, and the day passed.

The second day, the third day, for seven days, Xiao Mo came to this flower shop every day, every day was to look at the flowers, one was to water the flowers and cut the flowers, and time seemed to stand still here.
