In the darkness of the night, in the illusion.

There is no wind in the woods.

The pale golden barrier glows softly at night, gilding the trees in it with a thin layer of golden light.

It's like a dream, it's true but it's false.

On a certain tree, Li Mu closed his eyes again, and sank into the heart of the demon with all his heart, speechless for a while.

The vast voice sounded directly from his sea of consciousness: "It has been a full 50,000 years since I first gave birth to my own consciousness. From the moment I was 'born', the heavens gave me a mission to fight with my body for control of this body. ”

For me, this kind of contention is a natural and necessary fate. At first, I only had the belief that I could defeat my notological consciousness with all my might, and that I had neither good nor evil. I never had a body, and I didn't practice. Although the Demon Heart can be regarded as my essence, I can't control what it does. ”

"My self and my notological consciousness are originally two spiritual consciousness born from the same body. 'Beiquan True Venerable' cultivated to the peak of the Xuan Demon, and it took a total of 3,142 years. For thousands of years, my ontology, the 'Xuan Demon Heart', has been providing him with a steady stream of demon elements, and I have achieved his cultivation. ”

"He lived three thousand one hundred and forty-two years, and he slain demons, and even killed many human monks. He had many friends in the Eastern Saint Realm, and he had also made many enemies. He acted decisively, had a cool temperament, was open to his friends, and was ruthless and direct to his enemies. The people and demons he has killed in this life all have their own ways of taking death, so to speak, he has never killed an 'innocent' cultivator. ”

"There is a way to cultivate, and there are thousands of ways. All demon cultivators, after stepping into the realm of demons, must choose their own 'Shinto' practice, and the original choice of the master of my body is 'self-grasping'. He was too proud and thought too highly of himself. For countless years since the Kaitian Clan was based in the Eastern Saint Realm, none of the cultivators of the Sect would choose 'Self-Discipline'. ”

"'Self-grasping Dao' specializes in cultivating the original mind, and the Kaitian Clan has a huge ontology, and is good at the way of 'strength' rather than the way of 'heart'. Beiquan insisted on going his own way, wanting to cultivate this 'way of self-grasping', in order to break the restrictions of the Kaitian clan, walk out of a path of his own, and climb to a higher realm. ”

"However, it is precisely because of his single-mindedness and obsession that I was able to use his 'ego way' to maximize my strength. After he practiced this path, it only took a very short time to reach the peak of the Xuan Demon, usher in the ancient realm thunder tribulation, and easily pass it. ”

"The way of heaven is orderly, there are positive and negative things, and so is the way. Although the 'Self-Grasping Dao' can speed up his cultivation, the demon cultivator who cultivates this path will not only have to face the Thunder Tribulation, but also the 'Chaos Heart Demon Tribulation' when he survives the tribulation of the ancient realm, and the ancient monsters in this calamity are extremely difficult and consume most of his soul power before he can get through. ”

"The next result, I don't need to tell you, you know it. In the past 50,000 years, his spiritual consciousness has been forced to retreat by me, and most of the memories in his spiritual soul have been devoured by me. As I told you earlier, the consciousness of our demon hearts is actually not the difference between good and evil, good and evil when we are first born, and a large part of the temperament we can form comes from the influence of the master. ”

"And it is extremely rare for me to inherit the memories of my master almost completely, and to spend tens of thousands of years repeatedly reading and recalling. In fact, all you are concerned about is killing a monk who has nothing to do with you. ”

"It's good that you have that kind of idea, and I appreciate your attitude of doing something and not doing something. To a large extent, this represents your 'Dao', your cultivation is still shallow, and your cultivation time is still short, and it is very commendable to be able to establish such a 'Dao heart', but you have neglected one thing. ”

The voice said so much in one breath, and the tone was flat, as if it was narrating something that had nothing to do with him. But at this time, he changed his words, but suddenly asked: "The kind of sympathy and pity you have is the ontological consciousness of my checkmate, but have you ever thought about what is the difference between me, who has inherited all his memories, and him?"

Li Mu listened to him quietly after saying everything, after all, this demon heart is an existence that has lived for tens of thousands of years, and after fully absorbing the memory of its ontology, his grasp of people's hearts is really accurate. The slightest fluctuation in his emotions was completely seen through by him.

In fact, in his heart, there is no good or evil in the affairs of this heaven and earth, only the victory or defeat determined by the strength and weakness and the natural. is like a cultivator who wiped out his hometown, like he killed a few bastards in Quanzhou, and like Ma Chuyuan who was forced to leave by himself in the spirit beast mountain.

But he also has his persistence and bottom line, and his cultivation has always been his own business. Those who cultivate their own ways, walk their own ways, and act according to their own hearts, so that they will not lose their way.

In the cultivation realm, the law of the weak eating the strong has always been pursued, and the strong are respected. It seems that the strong man takes it for granted that he has everything, and the strong man can wantonly plunder, bully and even slaughter the weak.

Good and evil, good and evil, have never been like the mortal kingdom, which is bound by human morality and deterred by law. Strong is righteous, weak is evil, no one told him this truth, he came step by step and realized it on his own.

However, he did not want to practice such a principle, and he always followed the moral conduct in his own heart and restrained his behavior. He will not spare the slightest hand for those who should be killed, and he will not move any of those who should not be killed.

At present, the consciousness of 'Beiquan True Venerable', which has no power to resist and is about to be erased by his demonic heart, has no intersection with him in the slightest, and has never done him evil, nor has it hindered his cultivation path.

Now because of the temptation of this demonic heart, he wants to cooperate with him and erase this consciousness, but in fact, from the bottom of his heart, he still feels a little inappropriate.

Even if he does this, he will gain great benefits. But instinctively, he resisted doing so. It's just that at the beginning, he deliberately hid this emotion. It wasn't until the heart of the Xuan Demon mentioned the practice of the Demon King of Beiquan Mountain that it broke the fragile defense line in his heart and made him subconsciously refute it.

Li Mu's face showed a little confused, and he subconsciously said: "If you absorb all his memories, you will become him? Then, those who were born by taking away from him can also be said to have become another person? After taking away, can they still preserve their original spiritual sense?"

The voice said without the slightest emotion: "How can ordinary seizures be comparable to me." I was born as the other master of this body, and it took me tens of thousands of years to completely absorb his memories, so to speak, all the knowledge I gained about the cultivation realm, about good and evil, about cultivation, about 'emotions', came from the memories of the body. So what's the difference between me and him?"

In the dark night, the golden light emitted by the soul contract illuminated Li Mu's face, and the expression on his face was cloudy and uncertain, obviously in a struggle.

This suspicion of his true heart and Dao thoughts stirred his emotions to a great extent, and under the influence of this, the operation of the Yuan Force in his body was also a little jerky, and in the second dantian, the Yuan Lingzhu stagnated slightly and stopped rotating.

Li Mu had sweat on his face, and he tried hard to convince himself to accept the statement of the Demon Heart, admitting that he was his essence, and he was no different from his essence. But in his heart, there has always been a voice reminding him that the heart of the demon is lying, and he can't go against his true will to believe him rashly.

Can a monk, after gaining all the memories of another monk, completely replace the latter?

No way!

When pigs fly!

Li Mu suddenly raised his head, opened his eyes, stared at the void in front of him, and said word by word: "Didn't the predecessors want to use this to arouse my inner desires and invade my original heart?"

"Do you really think I'm not him? How do you know that he doesn't want to replace me in this way--to keep a trace of his soul alive, and then transfer all his memories to my consciousness, and hold on for tens of thousands of years, so that I can slowly erase these memories, so as to leave everything about him in the depths of my spiritual consciousness. ”

"In this battle for control of the body, it is me who wins, but what is preserved is all the memories that belong to him! Beiquan Zhenzun no longer exists, but after I get rid of the limitations of this body, there is still a demon cultivator named 'Beiquan' in this world......"

Li Mu was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What is the obsession that 'Beiquan True Venerable' has been holding on to for tens of thousands of years?"

The voice said lightly: "You don't need to know about this, his obsession is also my obsession now, after I get out of here, one day if my cultivation is enough, I will help him complete it." ”

Li Mu shook his head, and said in a solemn tone: "Please be sure to tell me what is going on, when I cultivate enough one day, I can also help you to fulfill 'his' long-cherished wish." ”

"You're an outsider, you don't have to wade into this troubled water. ”

"From the time my predecessor communicated with me through the Demon Heart, I was already in the game. ”

The voice was a little mocking, and said indifferently, "Is this the hypocritical thought that belongs to you Terran monks?"

Li Mu was not angered by him at all, but smiled: "My predecessors can be regarded as my hypocrisy, but I must adhere to my 'Dao Thoughts'. He is dying, I give him a ride, I take something that belongs to him, and I owe him something, and I have to pay it back. ”

"I'm afraid you're at the end of your life, and you can't afford to pay it back. ”

The voice sighed softly, but for some reason.

For "him", for himself, or for Li Mu's persistent posture? )
