Chapter 1 The Restless Demonic Heart

One day in the middle of summer.

early morning.

The boundary of rural areas in the outer suburbs of Dongxuan City.

Jiang Xun got up early, put on his fishing rod, opened the door of his house, and walked out of his courtyard humming a tune.

As a senior fisherman, he had a premonition.

Today is a good day for explosion protection.

Gan is over!

They arrived at the river at the head of the village by a familiar road. Before Jiang Xun had time to sit down, a figure with a flying sword suddenly swung past the river, causing the river to surge violently.

"..."

Jiang Xun.

Who the hell is this?

Flying sword in broad daylight!

No one cares about the countryside, right?

Jiang Xun narrowed his eyes as he glared at the retreating figure.

Ok?
is a woman?

There seems to be a tail behind the waist?

There should be no COS players coming to this remote place.

and so……

This girl is a half-demon! ?

half-demon...

Beast ear girl!

hiss!
Think about it!

Ah, no.

Want to get to know each other.

Silently suppressing the emotions in his chest, Jiang Xunping calmed down.

When he looked up again, his face didn't look good.

It seems that I can no longer continue to be a salty fish.

After completing preschool education and officially embarking on the path of spiritual practice, he has been practicing magic for more than 16 years.

But since he started, he has never made any progress.

A demonic heart has grown steadily, even reaching the level of the third level of normal demonic realm.

Due to the lack of nourishment of demonic energy for a long time, the demonic mind has been in a state of "malnutrition" for a long time, and becomes more and more restless day by day.

This is not a good thing.

Normally.

Demonic practice starts with shaping the demonic mind. During the initial stage of becoming a demon, the demonic energy is completed to shape the body and the demonic mind is consolidated as the cornerstone of one's own progress.

However, Jiang Xun is very different from ordinary demon cultivators.

His demonic mind only came about after completing the demonic body shaping process.

No matter how he practiced after that, there was always a hole inside the demon heart, and the demonic energy could not flow in.

This is undoubtedly the crux of his inability to advance further.

Jiang Xun originally thought that being different was the "welfare" of being a reborn person in time.

If time travel doesn't happen, is that called time travel?
But in the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and everything is still the same.

He didn't have any problem with just doing it like this.

It's just a demonic heart that has completely dried up, waiting for food, and it has a great impact on him.

The path to immortality must refine the mind, and the key point is to create a state of mind that is calm and stable to facilitate progress on the path to immortality.

The demonic path goes in the opposite direction, pursuing the true heart and eventually becoming a true demon.

The reason why Jiang Xun chose the demonic path in the first place was because it was more comfortable than the immortal path just by looking at it, and he didn't have to make himself as apathetic.

If not.

As a Chinese from another world, he must choose the immortal way.

Just ask.

Who here doesn’t have a dream of cultivating immortality?
However, the real path to immortality is not as good as the dream of cultivating immortals, and there are too many restrictions.

As a working dog who was repeatedly whipped under the rules and finally reborn, Jiang Xun wanted to live more freely in this life.

Back to topic.

Compared with the immortal way that pays attention to the word "stable".

The magic path has the advantages of fast entry in the early stage, ferocious methods, and easy breakthrough of bottlenecks, etc., but it also has fatal flaws such as being easy to get carried away and losing one's guard.

Regardless of the advantages, the key flaw of the demonic path is the demonic heart.

Only by having an unobstructed demonic mind can we avoid going crazy and becoming obsessed to the greatest extent.

There was a lot of talk during this period.

But the essence is not to limit yourself.

Do whatever you want.

Follow your original intention and ensure that your mind is clear.

People in the devil's path often act as they please, domineeringly and perversely. The main reason is to stabilize the devil's mind.

In modern society, how to suppress the devil's heart is a "compulsory course" for every person in the devil's path.

After all, modern times pay attention to the rule of law.

If you let yourself go too much, you will end up in jail.

Suppressing the devil's heart can only be achieved through one's own pure devil cultivation.

Jiang Xun has not made any progress in his realm over the years, so naturally he cannot have the capital to suppress him.

For more than ten years, he could only rely on his relatively positive personality in his two lives to suppress it.

This is obviously not a long-term solution.

Recently, the various impulses caused by the devil's heart have indeed become stronger and more uncontrollable.

After resurrecting his life, Jiang Xun became a fisherman since he was a child. The main reason is that fishing is an activity that helps to cultivate one's moral character and helps to keep the devil's mind calm.

Today it is today.

He honestly doesn't expect anything else.

A very realistic thing.

He graduated from college in his late twenties.

Instead of relying on a plug-in to change your destiny, you need to solve the problem of your own demonic energy not being able to flow into your demonic heart.

Otherwise, he may not even be able to guarantee his own livelihood in the future.

Although he has both parents in this life.

However, neither of the two elders had ever been involved in spiritual practice, and they had a son only when they were older, so they had already hung it on the wall.

If the second elder had not made a living by planting various spiritual plants in the past and left a huge legacy, he might not even be able to graduate from college.

You have to think of a way.

But you have to correct your mentality.

The problem that has not been solved for 16 years cannot be solved in a hurry.

Sitting down with the rod open, Jiang Xun's fingertips showed dark black magic energy and rubbed it on the double hooks of the sub-line, condensing two magic energy bait balls and throwing them into the river.

Being in a world where he can practice cultivation, his target fish is of course not an ordinary fish, but a spiritual fish that is of high value and very delicious.

There are many different ways of practicing in this world.

The two ways of immortality and demon are just two of the more mainstream ways of practice in Kyushu, known as the ancient oriental country. Together with martial arts, they are also called the "three imperial schools" in the Kyushu practice system.

There are many relatively unpopular practices.

In the territories outside Kyushu Kingdom, there are other various systems.

No matter what kind of practice system, its power is based on the most basic spiritual energy of heaven and earth as the basic carrier.

Including fighting spirit, magic, spell power, etc. that are unique to the Western world.

Reiki affects not only human practitioners, but also all alien species, including beasts.

Spiritualization is the first step for animals to embark on the path of spiritual practice.

If they want to transform and become wise, become monsters and step into the demon path, or turn into spiritual beasts of heaven and earth, they must absorb enough spiritual energy during the spiritual transformation process.

Unlike human practitioners, they know how to refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for their own use and pave the way for spiritual practice.

Only by ingesting food rich in spiritual energy can birds and animals promote their spiritual transformation and then achieve enlightenment.

Therefore, the devilish bait ball that Jiang Xun just made is an irresistible temptation for the spiritual fish.

As long as you swim nearby, you will basically be hooked.

That is, spiritual transformation will be accompanied by gradual enlightenment, and spiritual fish will often be more cautious than ordinary swimming fish.

But fishing!
The test is one's patience.

Even for ordinary fish, some large ones are not so easy to take the bait.

It makes sense for people to grow so big.

Waiting patiently with the fishing rod in his arms, Jiang Xun suddenly saw two figures running along the river bank on the other side. The two figures were very fast and looked like ghosts.

When passing by the opposite side, the two of them glanced at each other and walked away without stopping.

Subconsciously looking at the past, Jiang Xun frowned.

The two people I just passed by were at least second-level warriors.

Judging from his clothes, he seems to be someone who exceeds the management committee.

Super Management Committee.

The full name is the Supernatural Disaster Management Committee, which is affiliated to the Kyushu State Government.

The main function is to respond to various types of unconventional disasters.

Wherever they appeared, some kind of unreasonable disaster must have occurred.

But if people are just passing by, they shouldn’t need to care?
The half-demon female cultivator who passed by earlier was probably a member of the Super Management Committee and was performing a mission.

Without thinking much, Jiang Xun looked away, and then suddenly saw a large, obviously spiritualized fish floating in the water nearby, looking at the mouth of the fish where he was opening and closing.

Abba Abba.

Jiang Xun was surprised when he saw this scene.

Is this fish actually so intelligent?

I actually knew how to go to the water to see if anyone was fishing!

This is a bit difficult.

There is basically no need to expect a fish that has become spiritualized to this level to take the bait.

Moreover, it has begun to take shape and is a natural deterrent to other fish.

have it there.

Not to mention other spiritual fish that are awakening their intelligence, even ordinary fish dare not approach.

Just as he was hesitating whether to change places and continue squatting, the big fish suddenly swam slowly toward the shore.

?

Jiang Xun.

Why is this fish still swimming here?

Could it be that I have made a mistake, and that I am not enlightened?
Just as he was thinking about it, the big fish suddenly made a "pop" sound and spat a drop of water in his direction.

???

Jiang Xun.

Before he could react, the fish adjusted its posture, opened its mouth and blew out another puff.

Still a splash.

But the intensity is much greater than before, and the accuracy is good.

Even if he shot to the shore, he almost confused Jiang Xun's face.

!!!

Jiang Xun.

Damn it!

This is provocation, right?
It must be a provocation! ?

Jiang Xun's demon heart was violently agitated at that time, and several blue veins popped up on his forehead. He threw away the fishing rod and jumped up.

That's when he jumped up.

A huge shadow suddenly appeared on the water behind the big fish.

next second.

There was just a splash, and a mouth big enough to swallow an adult in one bite opened the water.

!!!

Jiang Xun.

The change happened so suddenly that he was completely unprepared.

causing mutations.

There is no doubt that it is a fish demon that has completed its metamorphosis, and the demonic energy is already present in its body.

But that's not the point.

The point is that the fish demon suffocated the big fish that "taunted" him in one mouthful, and even calculated the angle, waiting to swallow him as he jumped into the river.

Hey!
Are all fish so smart now? ?
Jiang Xun cursed secretly.

It's too late to say.

A breathtaking red light bloomed in his eyes, and the demonic energy surged around him. In the blink of an eye, he condensed a harpoon made of pure demonic energy in his hand, and then threw it out.

Throw it.

The demonic harpoon was suddenly like a sharp arrow.

Just heard a "poof".

The fish demon was brutally deepthroated on the spot and made a strange cry like a baby crying.

The painful fish demon immediately realized that Jiang Xun was not someone he could deal with, so he decisively gave up swallowing people and turned around to return to the water.

How could Jiang Xun make it come true?

You’ve come, why don’t you stay hehehehe?

With a kick in the air, Jiang Xun turned back to the river bank in a way that was enough to make Niu X lift the coffin board. He turned around with fists in his hands and gave it a strong lift.

While he exerts his strength.

A thin line that was almost invisible to the naked eye was instantly covered in demonic energy and grew stronger, connecting from his hands to the end of the demonic harpoon that deepthroated the fish demon.

The fish demon, which had not had time to return to the surface, was immediately pulled into the air.According to visual inspection, the huge body, which weighed at least two to three hundred kilograms, drew a parabola and fell to the river bank with a "snap".

The fish monster comes ashore.

Jiang Xun's eyes were as bright as lightning. He turned his hand and condensed a long demonic sword. He stepped forward and raised his hand to strike.

"puff!"

Bleeding.

The fish demon's hard head was chopped into pieces.

His brain was spinning all over the place, and he lost his voice on the spot.

After killing the fish demon, Jiang Xun's restless demonic heart was calmed.

It was at this time.

A transparent dialog box appeared in front of his eyes.

"Magic Qi +5."

?

Jiang Xun slowly typed a question mark.

Immediately afterwards, he clearly felt a drop of liquid demonic energy coming from his demonic heart that had dried up for more than ten years.

Liquid demonic energy was produced, and in the blink of an eye it evaporated into extremely pure demonic energy that filled the demonic heart.

Followed.

Several transparent dialog boxes popped up in front of Jiang Xun's eyes.

"The realm is improved, in the middle stage of being possessed, the talent points at your disposal are +1."

"Please choose a talent to add points. Once a talent is selected, it cannot be modified and it will affect subsequent talent branch selections."

"Optional talent in the middle stage of being possessed."

"True Demon Follows the Heart: Completely loses the ability to suppress the Demonic Heart before condensing the Demonic Fetus, and triples the combat power during the period when the Demonic Heart is restless."

"Killing is the Way: Increase the conversion efficiency of the magic energy obtained by killing living creatures, and the effect will increase with the advancement of the realm."

"Gou Yiyoudao: Losing the ability to obtain magic energy by killing living beings is transformed into obtaining it through self-cultivation. The effect depends on the quality and realm of the magic cultivation method."

!!!

Jiang Xun.

After seeing several dialog boxes in a row, he suddenly felt that he could do it again.

As a time traveler reborn.

I am indeed a guilty person!
system.

He is familiar with this!
and so.

Have you always mistaken the "correct" way to open it?

Summoning system.

Jiang Xun tried various positions, but never achieved anything.

I thought the system didn't exist at all.

Now I killed a fish demon but it jumped out.

It seems to have quite a lot of functions, including the existence of a talent tree.

Take a closer look at the three distinct optional talents, Jiang Xun Tuo.

The three options are like three different branches.

The prompt box also clearly states that you cannot go back on choosing a talent and it will affect subsequent options.

After careful examination, Jiang Xun first eliminated option one.

The ten realms of the Demonic Path: Becoming a Demon, Building the Heart, Condensing the Fetus, Tempering the Spirit, Demonic Infant, Refining the God, Transforming the Dao, Tribulation, Aspirations, and True Demon.

Condensation is the third realm.

Choosing the True Demon Sui Xin means that he completely loses self-control before the three realms. This basically requires him to take the path of a complete demon.

Not to mention that it is impossible to survive on this path in a civilized world with a high degree of rule of law. He chose the magic path just to live a freer life, without thinking about letting himself go completely.

In comparison, killing for the sake of Dao is more delicious.

The liquid demonic energy generated inside the demonic heart after killing the fish demon is called demonic energy. Its purity completely overwhelms the demonic energy obtained through serious practice. It is not difficult to see that it can evaporate into demonic energy and fill the demonic heart. It is a more advanced form of power presentation.

More importantly.

Obtaining magic energy is obviously directly related to his improvement in realm.

Killing for the Way can increase the efficiency of obtaining magic energy by killing living creatures, which is equivalent to an experience BUFF.

Look at Gou Yiyoudao again.

This talent...

It also looks pretty good.

Avoiding killing, as long as you practice hard, you can generate magic energy on your own.

When reading novels in his previous life, Jiang Xun saw many systems that tried to find a way out, but this was obviously not suitable for him.

Cultivation itself is a very torturous process.

The Way of Killing provided him with a path to upgrade by killing monsters. Why did he have to choose to practice for ten years?

You don’t have to think about it to know.

If he practices step by step, his progress will be very slow.

He currently only has a relatively basic Heavenly Demon's True Solution as a cultivation method, which can be found on the Internet. The more advanced ones are in the hands of some aristocratic cultivation families and sect forces.

After careful consideration, Jiang Xun raised his hand and clicked "killing".

Then, a dialog box popped up in front of me.

"Successful talent selection, killing is the way."

After that, another status bar panel pops up.

Host: Jiang Xun

Magic Qi: 5/55
Realm: middle stage of obsession

Talent: Killing is the Way

Jiang Xun frowned slightly when he saw the status bar.

This.

A little too concise.

Based on his many years of experience in reading online articles in his past life, he is afraid that there are still many hidden functions that have not met the display conditions.

After looking closely at the 5/55 displayed on the back of Mo Qi, Jiang Xun deduced that the 55 displayed on the back was the threshold for him to enter the late stage of becoming possessed.

From 5 to 55, the span of ten times has to be said to be a bit large.

However, it is also understandable that it is directly related to the realm.

Among the thousands of ways of cultivation in the world, which one is not the same as the first realm?

The big realms are as different as a chasm, almost insurmountable. Only those masters who can be called monsters can cross the border to fight against the enemy.

Waving his hand to dismiss the status bar, Jiang Xun turned to look at the fish demon with a split head.

The description of "Killing as the Way" clearly told him that anyone who killed living creatures could harvest magic energy, not just monsters.

All things have spirit.

This is a secular way of saying it.

However, it is obvious that the spirit mentioned in Sha Fa Wei Dao refers to the body practice.

After spending 24 years in this world and living in the countryside, Jiang Xun often killed chickens, ducks and fish.

There are many fish that have initially become spiritualized.

However, it was not until today that he truly obtained the magic power.

and so.

Eight or nine times out of ten, humans who are on the path of spiritual practice can also be killed to obtain magic energy.

hiss.

Taking a breath, Jiang Xun silently dispelled the thoughts of judgment in his mind.

At this moment, he suddenly felt something in his heart.

Subconsciously turning his head, Jiang Xun raised his eyes and saw the female revisionist who had used the sword to "blow up the river" back.

This female cultivator is really an extremely rare half-demon.

Kyushu is the first country in the world where humans and monsters can coexist peacefully.

As early as thousands of years ago, the Kyushu Kingdom ended its eternal battle with the transformed monsters and moved forward hand in hand.

As a result, the transformed monster even established a city with autonomous rights on the site of the Shiwanmao Mountain in the Kyushu Kingdom.

Thanks to this, Shiwandashan, a foreign land that was originally difficult for humans to set foot on, has been gradually developed, bringing rich resource production to Kyushu and spawning a developed tourism industry.

It needs to be emphasized that.

Only transformed monsters with mature minds and a sense of law-abiding will be accepted as citizens by Kyushu Kingdom.

Monsters that naturally awaken take their form in the fourth realm.

Such a threshold.

The main reason is that even if the monster has completed most of the enlightenment before it transforms, it still acts according to instinct, does not distinguish between right and wrong, and is more aggressive.

of course there are exceptions.

Regardless of whether the children born from the union of transformed monsters are naturally transformed or not, their level of intelligence is no different from that of ordinary people.

Let’s talk about half-demon.

This group is the product of the coexistence of humans and monsters.

To put it simply, it is the "crystal of love" produced by the combination of human beings and transformed monsters.

However, due to the reproductive isolation between species, only humans and monsters from the fifth realm and above can give birth to children.

The threshold for the birth of a half-demon is destined to be rare.

And without exception, they are born with a golden key in their mouths.

Although the Five Realms are only the fifth realm in the division of realms, in fact most practitioners in the world have no chance to enter the Five Realms.

The Five Realms are an important watershed on the path of spiritual practice. Regardless of one's talent and opportunity, stopping at the Four Realms is the end point of most people's spiritual path.

The "guaranteed" half-demon has a pair of parents who are at least in the fifth realm.

your product.

You are fine.

there.

The half-demon female cultivator had a very clear goal and headed straight for Jiang Xun.

Traveling with a sword is indeed the fastest mode of transportation in the world besides flying vehicles. In a blink of an eye, people are approaching.

Landing lightly in front of Jiang Xun, the half-demon female cultivator stood still and glanced at the fish demon who passed away "peacefully" beside her. A pair of cat ears above her head twitched and she looked over.

"Hello sir, I am Chen Xiaoyu, a field operator of the Super Management Committee."

The half-demon female cultivator spoke, took out her ID, opened it and showed it.

"Just to confirm, this fish demon...was killed by sir?"

The half-demon girl who calls herself Chen Xiaoyu is very slender and beautiful.

With red lips and white teeth, the delicate facial features on Guazi’s face are like works of art.

After silently correcting his mentality, Jiang Xun spoke.

"I killed the fish demon, so there shouldn't be any problem?"

"Ah, of course there won't be any problem. I have to thank you, sir, for this."

Chen Xiaoyu responded, saying.

"Earlier, I just received a notification from my superiors that a high concentration of demon miasma was found in the upper reaches of the Dongxuan River, which may affect aquatic life in the river and accelerate their transformation into demons. Two colleagues and I were instructed to carry out patrols and investigations along the river. "

"We have just inspected the nearby river section and found nothing substantial. I think this fish monster is very intelligent and knows how to hide itself. Thanks to your presence, sir, it is not difficult to judge from the residual aura of this fish monster that it is in the middle stage of the first realm. It has become a climate, and if ordinary people encounter it, casualties will inevitably occur."

After the narration, she cleared her throat.

"I will report this matter truthfully, and the Super Management Committee will give it some recognition in the future. In addition, I want to purchase this fish monster on behalf of the Super Management Committee. There is no accurate conclusion on when the demon miasma will appear. We need to dissect the fish monster Confirm the time of its transformation to estimate the approximate time when the demon miasma appeared."

Before Jiang Xun could say anything, she quickly glanced in the direction she came from, looked back and lowered her voice.

"Sir, the price of the fish demon is easy to say. I can personally offer you [-] spiritual yuan. I'm afraid the price won't be that good when my two colleagues arrive later."

Jiang Xun originally heard that Chen Xiaoyu wanted to acquire the fish demon and he agreed.

He has official duties, and it is his obligation as a citizen of Kyushu to cooperate with the work.

Besides, the price is very high.

Normally, the value of a monster in the first realm will not exceed [-] spiritual yuan, and the value of a monster in the second realm and above will truly change qualitatively.

But Chen Xiaoyu's last sentence made Jiang Xun raise his eyebrows.

Two worlds.

How could he not see that the other party wanted to avoid the two companions and try to take the credit for discovering the fish demon?
look.

From the discovery of the monster miasma to the present, the Super Management Committee has not discovered anything during the river patrol. The first person to discover the affected monster will be the first to do so.

Although I don’t know why Chen Xiaoyu, a half-demon who was born with a golden key in his mouth, ran past the management committee to work as an errand and was so eager to make meritorious deeds.

But since there is demand, there is room for negotiation, right?

Jiang Xunmo's heart was agitated as he looked up and down at Chen Xiaoyu, whose tail was wagging slowly.

"The acquisition is easy to negotiate. It is a citizen's duty to cooperate with the Super Management Committee. The price of [-] spiritual yuan is also very reasonable."

He said casually and cleared his throat.

"but……"

"but?"

Chen Xiaoyu poked her head over, her big eyes full of eagerness.

Jiang Xun noticed his expression, and a slight red light appeared in his eyes.

"This is my first time seeing a half-demon. Can I touch your tail?"

?

Chen Xiaoyu slowly typed a question mark, then suddenly glared at her and stepped back with a shocked look on her face.

She sincerely offered a high price for the purchase, but he was actually greedy for her body!
Can the tail be touched randomly?

For her as a half-demon, this is pure harassment!

Add to that her status as a member of the management committee, and the person in front of her is more than audacious! ?

After the initial shock, Chen Xiaoyu's pretty face darkened.

"Sir, you..."

Before the words came out of his mouth, Jiang Xun made a "tsk" sound and reached out impatiently.

"Stop the ink! Hurry up! Otherwise, when your two colleagues come, the credit won't be yours alone. You don't want to share the credit among three people, right?"
