Fairyland Sunshine

Chapter 117 Interior
Before I knew it, five or six days had passed.

Xu Heng flipped through the Taoist book over and over again, pondering over the obscure points in it one by one. He read it carefully for countless times without feeling bored. He closed the book only after he could find no more omissions.

He went over it in his mind, making sure that he had memorized all the key points of condensing the evil spirit in the physical body, but his face still had a thoughtful look.

The difficulty of cultivating the Taoist body was somewhat beyond his imagination.

The entire process of condensing the evil spirit in the physical body cannot rely on magic power at all, but rather the evil spirit must be dispersed deep into the body, and then through the simplest regulation of essence and energy, to condense the true evil spirit and train the physical body.

This process was extremely dangerous, and any mistake would result in severe backlash. No wonder a cultivator as accomplished as Dai Zhiling also made a mistake, not only failing but also losing his life.

Moreover, once the evil energy is absorbed into the body, it can no longer be stopped. Otherwise, Dai Zhiling is a lesson for you. Even if you are luckier and do not die, your body will inevitably be hurt.

This was a major matter involving the Tao, and Xu Heng had to think deeply about it.

However, Xu Heng had already made the decision, so he naturally would not shrink back. Moreover, although it was difficult to condense the evil spirit in his physical body, he was still quite confident.

Firstly, Xu Heng has already cultivated the Samadhi Fire, which means that not only are his three treasures pure, but he also has the potential to achieve unity.

This enables him to perceive any subtle changes in his own essence, energy and spirit, and he can easily control the flow of his essence and energy in a very subtle way.

Secondly, Xu Heng had taken Dragon Power Grass before, and his body strength was far superior to that of ordinary cultivators. He could better withstand the erosion of evil spirits and naturally had greater tolerance for mistakes.

These two items alone are conditions that many practitioners do not possess, and for Xu Heng, there is an even more crucial idea that he needs to try.

Xu Heng put away the Taoist book, sat cross-legged in the evil spirit, and used his empty energy to purify his mind inside and out. After discarding all distracting thoughts, he slightly raised his hand and picked up a Nine Yin True Evil.

This pure evil energy seemed to have really condensed into substance in his hands, and the strands of evil energy were intertwined into a line.

If this thing can be combined with the method in "Shangying Zhenyang Baolu" and one's own pure yang magic power, one can break through the current shackles and increase both cultivation and magic power...

Xu Heng watched silently for a moment, then suddenly clenched his hands and absorbed the evil spirit into his body.

But he did not circulate his magic power to match it, nor did he disperse it into his body. He began to try to condense the evil in his flesh, but instead directed it to his forehead, and drilled towards a mysterious place in the dark -

But he absorbed it into the 'virtual world'!
Is it real or an illusion? Is it true or false? This world was discovered by Xu Heng when he comprehended and used divine thoughts. However, he knew very little about it and could not find its meaning.

It was not until later that Xu Heng became a disciple of Qiao Cheng and went to Tianchi Mountain to practice. Not only was he taught the superior Taoist methods, but he also had countless Taoist scriptures to refer to. Only then did he gradually have some guesses about the origin of this illusory world.

Boundless and free to do whatever one wants, in a single thought, one can change from existence to non-existence, from the virtual to the real, from the real to the mind, and can do everything...

All of these seem to point to the description of the "inner realm" in Taoist classics.

Although Xu Heng didn't know why he was born with the "Inner Scene" that was said to be opened only by Taoist masters, these characteristics were undoubtedly very consistent. After having this concept, Xu Heng had made many attempts around the inner scene, but unfortunately, he still didn't discover any very magical effects.

According to legend, Taoist masters can use their inner vision to deduce magic and Taoism, or even evolve the heavens, the earth, and the Tao. It has endless uses.

But for Xu Heng, let alone the evolution of the universe, even the deduction of magic and Taoism is still too far away for him.

He is not a Taoist master who can use his Taoist spirit to calculate countless possibilities in a moment, and his Taoist methods are all top-notch. At his current level, he only needs to practice step by step and there will be no mistakes.

Moreover, with Xu Heng's talent, his practice has been smooth sailing. Even if there are some unclear points, he has famous teachers to guide him and fellow disciples to discuss with him. It is really not his turn to mess around on his own.

Xu Heng also tried to use his inner vision to practice magic, which was a good direction, but without the Taoist spirit's calculation ability, the time spent in the inner vision was no different from that in the outside world.

Therefore, using inner vision to practice magic is only a little more labor-saving and unscrupulous than using the outside world. It can be said to be better than nothing, but at most, it can only be considered satisfactory.

Of course, Xu Heng knew that as his Taoism improved and his cultivation progressed, as long as he did not indulge in meaningless desires, the benefits of having inner vision would naturally become greater and greater. For example, at this moment -

Xu Heng wanted to know, could he use the inner scene to deduce the process of the body's evil spirit condensing?

The moment the Nine Yin True Evil was taken into Xu Heng's inner vision, he suddenly felt as if a heavy stone was pressing down on his spirit, but he was not surprised.

Everything in the inner scene could not be brought to the outside world, but Xu Heng had tried to see if he could bring things from the outside world into the inner scene. The answer was undoubtedly yes, but every moment of bringing things from the outside world into the inner scene would consume his own energy.

In this case, the imagination of the interior as an infinite storage space is obviously no longer realistic, but for Xu Heng, it is already of great significance.

Although there is nothing in the inner scene, as long as a thought arises, even the 'flesh body' can be transformed from virtual to real. As for the Nine Yin True Evil...

As soon as Xu Heng had the idea, he suddenly gave birth to a physical body in the inner world. He stretched out his left hand and took the Nine Yin True Evil in his palm again.

This feeling was exactly the same as in the outside world. Xu Heng was not surprised, but he slowly raised his right hand and slowly twisted his three fingers.

As he moved, a chaotic aura suddenly appeared, and then gradually became solid, until it turned into an evil aura. No matter its appearance or nature, it was exactly the same as the Nine Yin True Evil that Xu Heng had captured in his inner vision!
In the inner world, Xu Heng can do whatever he wants, changing existence and non-existence with just a thought. However, this also means that the changes he can make are largely based on his own cognition, which is often different from reality.

Therefore, Xu Heng could not create the 'Nine Yin True Evil' out of thin air, as it would only be an imaginary thing with a mere form. However, if he captured a Nine Yin True Evil from the outside world and simulated all its properties...

"It's done." Xu Heng showed a slight smile on his face, and with a clench of his left hand, the Nine Yin True Evil was spit out from his inner world.

But then, chaos suddenly surged in the inner scene, and extremely yin and pure evil energy "grew" out from nothing in large quantities.
