Chapter Eighty-Six: The Heart of Cultivation
I tried for another day, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't absorb a trace of excess aura in my dantian.
"Alas, it seems that there is no hope of entering the Jindan period by relying on this. Standing up, and then looking at the sea of clouds below, a red sun was rising, Ye Dong's heart suddenly opened up, as if he had some enlightenment, but it was elusive.
Shaking his head, since he couldn't break through, Ye Dong had no choice but to continue to go up, even if the demon beast above was stronger, he had to break through, maybe there would be some accidents under pressure.
This mountain is so tall, walking so far, the temperature on the mountain is very low, the surrounding trees are not as dense as the bottom of the mountain, many of them are exposed black rocks, and you can feel that the air is also very thin.
If an ordinary person were in such an environment, it would definitely be difficult to move an inch, but for a monk, such an environment is not a bad one.
Ye Dong is cautious in every step, this kind of knowing that there must be danger in the future, but the sense of unknown and oppression brought about by this danger not knowing when it will come out will make people's psychology very tormented.
Climb up step by step, surrounded by cold stones, and silent mountains and forests.
There was an inexplicable loneliness in his heart, and Ye Dong had an illusion in his eyes for a moment, as if he saw his future.
Isn't the road of cultivating immortals exactly the same as this mountain climb, lonely and lonely along the way, accompanied only by endless quiet, and the danger that comes at any time, step by step towards that goal, but for the goal of eternal life, how much have you given up along the way.
He remembered that when he was a child in the village, when he was still a cowherd baby, he once heard the second master of the village tell an ancient legend, in the story of the second master, all the immortals in the sky are absolutely destitute of seven emotions and six desires, because in this world, if you want to live forever, you can't have those useless emotions, you can find that in this world, the stone can exist for the longest time.
But in this bleak and indifferent fairy world, there will always be immortals who can't stand the long years of stone-like life, so there are always immortals who are emotional and demoted to the mortal world.
At that time, he was most impressed by the story of a daughter of the emperor told by the second uncle, who fell in love with a cowherd baby in the mortal world, and the daughter of the emperor finally gave up her identity as an immortal in order to herd the cow baby, and would rather spend a short life in the mortal world.
At that time, he listened to this story, just because he was also a cowherd himself, so maybe he also fantasized about having such a fairy to save and care for him.
These childhood memories suddenly popped up in his mind, and Ye Dong himself was also taken aback, and then shook his head to drive these thoughts out.
Of course he knew now that these so-called legends were very unreliable, the Immortal Realm? Who had ever seen it? It could be said that there were so many cultivators in the Diyuan Continent, and no one knew, Ye Dong even suspected that this Immortal Realm was just an illusory world created by the cultivators themselves.
No longer thinking about it so much, Ye Dong knew that these things often appeared in his mind recently, because he was beginning to be confused about the future of cultivation, if you use the general term of the cultivation realm, that is, the Dao heart is unstable, on the path of cultivation, all people will encounter this situation.
Cultivating immortals, all the way is long, not only the improvement of cultivation, but also the continuous experience and sublimation of the Dao heart, without a strong Dao heart, it is not far on this road.
And Ye Dong didn't know this, and the Shenchen Daoist didn't tell him about this knowledge, he thought that he just missed his life when he was a child, so every time he had this thought, he just put it aside and ignored it.
And if it is in a major sect, those disciples have been taught relevant knowledge, and this kind of thought must be completely dissolved, and it must be completely dissolved from the bottom of the heart, otherwise when the breakthrough occurs, these thoughts will arise instantly, resulting in the failure of the breakthrough.
This is commonly referred to as the inner demon, which is a major enemy at the time of breakthrough.
At this time, Ye Dong just put these aside, and he paid full attention to his surroundings, because he didn't know that a powerful demon beast would emerge from that place.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Ye Dong to suddenly feel a powerful and dangerous aura approaching rapidly, the speed of this aura was simply beyond Ye Dong's comprehension, and it was not coming from any direction in front of him, left and right, but from the sky!
As soon as Ye Dong raised his head, he saw a shadow covering the sky and the earth swooping towards him at a high speed, and he didn't have time to see the specific appearance of the enemy, so he rushed to the side as fast as he could, and the place where he was standing was already a big pit.
The demon beast was huge, but it was extremely agile, and with one wing, it continued to shoot towards Ye Dong.
In this gap, Ye Dong saw this demon beast clearly, and saw that its wings were three zhang long, and its feathers were colorful, but each feather was glowing with a metallic luster, which seemed to be like a sharp sword.
And the two big claws under its feet stretched out more than a foot long at this time, emitting bursts of treasure light, and its tail feathers were very long, very windy.
Just as Ye Dong looked at it, the demon beast rushed in front of him again, and grabbed him with one claw, too hasty and the attack speed of this demon beast was too fast, and Ye Dong didn't avoid this blow.
One of the claws of the demon beast slashed through Ye Dong's body, making a sound of gold and iron clashing, and Ye Dong was knocked far away by the momentum of this claw.
The pain from his body clearly told Ye Dong that his body's defense had been broken, and this demon beast could break his defense!
After the monster struck a blow, it flapped its wings again and flew into the sky, and then began to prepare for the dive again.
Looking at the wound on his chest, blood was gushing out, Ye Dong hurriedly took out more than a dozen talismans from the storage bag and slapped them on his body, forming more than a dozen layers of shields, the spiritual power of the body was running, and the injured parts were also repairing rapidly.
Soon, the demon beast in the air found the right time and swooped down again, its two sharp claws stretched out, and it seemed to take Ye Dong as the prey it hunted.
With the painful lesson before, Ye Dong of course didn't dare to be careless, and directly sacrificed his superb magic weapon 'Killing Sword', and then a set of magic tricks was played, and the flying sword was rapidly enlarged.
"Slash!"
With Ye Dong's soft shout, a huge flying sword about ten zhang long with spiritual light slashed down towards the swooping demon beast.
Originally, Ye Dong has always liked to rely on the perversion of his body, directly use his body to fight the enemy, or use some small spells, but in fact, in the real battle, the use of magic weapons to fight can exert the greatest power.
