I became the demon of the female devil

Chapter 397 Refining Emotions and Transforming Desires! The Two Women on the Verge of Collapse!

The Refining Stone shattered with a bang, bursting out with dazzling light. In that instant, Chen Mo seemed to see Ultraman Tiga.

Under the light, the scroll unfolded on its own, and the words inside leaped out, surging into the sea of ​​consciousness, constantly rearranging and reorganizing.

Based on his previous experience, the Refining Stone is not simply a combination of two cultivation methods, but rather an extraction of their essence, organic fusion, and finding an optimal balance.

In other words, the higher the affinity of the cultivation technique, the better the fusion effect and the easier it is to trigger the transformation.

Although the Purple Cloud Heart Sutra and the Gu Sutra are two completely different cultivation methods, they are essentially complementary.

The focus of the "Gu Scripture" is to use Gu worms to replace the physical body and ultimately break free from the cage, while the "Zixiao Heart Scripture" is a pure method of soul cultivation, which can refine the seven emotions and six desires to strengthen the origin of the soul.

It's still unknown what kind of chemical reaction will occur when the two are combined.

"I hope I don't mess it up. I don't want to end up looking like that ghost Yin Tiankuo..."

Just as Chen Mo was muttering to himself, the Golden Branch of Creation in his dantian seemed to sense something and began to sway gently.

The branches and leaves rustled, and through their swaying motion, rays of golden light shone through, revealing ancient seal script that blended seamlessly with the surging characters.

boom!
My mind trembled violently!

With a thunderous explosion, countless profound truths instantly flooded my mind!

Immediately afterwards, a prompt message flashed before my eyes:
The *Gu Jing* and the *Zi Xiao Xin Jing* were combined and refined into the *Zi Xiao Xuan Gong*.

[The "Purple Cloud Mystic Art" merged with the Golden Chapter of Creation, transforming into the "Purple Extreme Creation Mystic Art."]

?

Chen Mo was stunned.

He never expected that the Golden Branch of Creation, which had been quietly rooted in his dantian, would suddenly become so active and even cause a transformation in his cultivation technique!
"The Golden Chapter of Creation?"

"Could those seal script characters be the source of the power of those golden branches?"

Actually, he had always been puzzled by the fact that the effect of the life essence was just too powerful.

As long as his physical body is not completely destroyed, he can almost regenerate indefinitely and can also continuously replenish his energy, turning into a perpetual motion machine. This makes him, who has already tempered his body to the extreme, invincible among those of the same level!

This level of power should, in theory, belong to at least the "Dao Trace" level.

However, none of the six fundamental sources can be found to correspond to it.

"Perhaps this thing, like dragon energy, transcends the Great Dao?"

After releasing several golden rays, the branch drooped slightly, and its aura became somewhat weak. Fortunately, the unripe spiritual fruit was not affected.

Chen Mo focused his attention on the newly synthesized cultivation technique.

The Purple Extreme Creation Mystic Art —

Joy and sorrow, separation and reunion, are but firewood; love, hate, and entanglement, all are for my use.

[Seizing the power of heaven and earth, refining the seven emotions as fuel, forging the immortal Purple Extreme True Body!]

Unlike other clickbait headlines that constantly tout immortality and invincibility but are actually utterly mediocre...

Once this technique is mastered, one can indeed achieve a certain degree of "immortality"!
Its core lies in its ability to absorb all the emotional fluctuations of others, such as joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire, and transform them into the Seven Emotions True Fire. This fire is then used to refine the surrounding world, ultimately achieving the Dharma form "Purple Extreme Grotto Heaven".

Within the range of the Dharma Image, everything is under Chen Mo's control!

It can change the world and the world with a single thought, and as long as the cave is not destroyed, it can be reborn continuously. It is no exaggeration to say that it is almost like a god!

"Not bad, it feels much better than Yin Tiankuo's Transformation of All Forms?"

"In this way, I won't have to expend spiritual essence to deduce it."

Chen Mo nodded in satisfaction.

In addition to these, the technique also includes various supernatural abilities, two of which are the most useful:
[Seven Emotions Illusionary Realm: Releases absorbed emotional power, plunging enemies into an endless cycle of joy and sorrow, causing them to lose themselves.]

[Blood Spirit Seed: Transforms one's own blood into a spirit seed, polluting the surrounding world and stripping living beings of their will.]

"This Seven Emotions Illusionary Realm is an ability of the Purple Cloud Heart Sutra, while the Blood Spirit Seed is derived from the Gu Sutra. Although it has undergone a transformation under the influence of the Golden Branch of Creation, it still retains some basic characteristics."

Chen Mo opened the system panel.

Upon seeing the small print in front of him, he couldn't help but frown.

[Purple Extreme Creation Mystic Art - Beginner Level (0/7000)]

"The proficiency required for this upgrade is actually higher than that of two Heaven-Rank cultivation techniques combined?"

"Could it be because it has been integrated with the Creation Golden Chapter?"

He took out a Dao Essence Crystal, crushed it with a bang, and a plus sign appeared after the cultivation technique.

After confirming the skill point allocation, a prompt message flashed before my eyes:

[Proficiency increased, current progress: Purple Extreme Creation Profound Art - Beginner (3000/7000)]

"It's definitely not enough..."

Chen Mo frowned even more deeply, having anticipated this situation.

Dao Essence Crystals can raise the proficiency of a cultivation technique by one level, but the highest level is limited to the upper-grade Heaven Rank.

Back then, it took five crystals to upgrade the "Ancient Spiritual Constitution" by one level, while the "Purple Extreme Creation Profound Technique" required two and a half crystals, indicating that their status had far exceeded the limits of the Heavenly Rank.

"Currently, I still have one Creation Jade Disc and three Dao Essence Crystals. However, the same cultivation technique can only use the jade disc once, which is equivalent to four crystals. Even if I use them all, I'm still short a full six thousand points of True Spirit..."

After careful consideration, Chen Mo decided to fully commit to it.

He urgently needs to improve his strength to cope with the upcoming changes. If these things cannot be converted into combat power, there is no point in keeping them.

The most painful thing in life is dying while still keeping your precious possessions and not being able to bear using them...

As for the "Ancient Spirit Law", it's more worthwhile to improve it using dragon energy.

“Stud Poker is a kind of wisdom!”

"You little secret technique? Watch me fill it up for you!"

[Proficiency improved...]

[Current progress: Purple Extreme Creation Profound Art - Great Success!]

After completely emptying their coffers, a prompt message flashed before their eyes.

However, Chen Mo waited for a long time but did not feel any change.

"Is this the end?"

"Geneva, refund me!"

Just as he was looking completely bewildered, he discovered that he was covered by a semi-transparent "film".

Upon closer inspection, it appears to be some kind of magnetic field that distorts space, causing all matter within it to vibrate erratically.

"Is this the 'Purple Extreme Grotto Heaven'?"

Chen Mo vaguely understood, placed his palm on the bed, and with a slight movement of his heart, a piece of the sandalwood bed frame suddenly disappeared—

This is not destruction, but decomposition.

Wherever the palm touches, it transforms into countless tiny particles that dance and swirl in the air.

Under Chen Mo's control, the particles gathered together and transformed into a living kingfisher, fluttering its wings and landing on Chen Mo's shoulder, its eyes bright and lively, affectionately nuzzling his cheek.

Chen Mo raised his hand, signaling it to fly further.

However, as soon as the bird left the magnetic field, it instantly lost its vitality, its body stiffened, and it turned into wood chips that dissipated in the wind.

"Under the shroud of the Purple Extreme Grotto, I can alter the rules to some extent. As my cultivation level increases, I can even reverse gravity and switch the positions of water and fire!"

"Currently, it can only cover a small area around the body. To achieve the effect of a grotto-heaven, or even influence a region, it requires a massive amount of Seven Emotions True Fire for tempering. It cannot be achieved overnight."

"In other words, mastering the technique is just the beginning."

He stroked his chin with his fingers, pondering how to obtain the power of the seven emotions.

Suddenly, his consciousness blurred, and his soul seemed to be pulled out of his mind, instantly crossing thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and arriving at the southern suburbs of Tiandu City.

Before us stood a large ancestral temple, facing south, with five bays across the front. A black plaque hung above the entrance, bearing the three large characters "Zhenyue Temple." The area around the temple was bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder.

Chen Mo entered the temple. The roof was a double-eaved hip roof covered with yellow glazed tiles. In the center was a pagoda-shaped finial, and below the finial stood a tall blue stone statue.

His black robe with scale patterns fluttered in the wind, and he stepped on auspicious seven-colored clouds, giving him a sense of otherworldly elegance. His eyes were lowered as he looked down at all living beings, and his handsome face was full of compassion. His appearance was almost identical to his own!
Beside the statue stands a stone tablet inscribed with neat regular script:

[Inscription for the construction of the ancestral hall for Chen Mo, the Duke of Zhenyue...]

[Master Chen was a man of both courage and skill, possessing great virtue and merit. He slew demons, fought against monsters, cured chronic illnesses, and relieved the people from their dire straits...]

[Heaven blesses the Great Yuan Dynasty, bestowing upon this national hero; a shrine should be erected for his veneration, so that he may be remembered for a thousand generations to come...]

[Written by Feng Jinyu, Vice Minister of Rites; inscribed by Shangguan Ming, Commissioner of the Court of Judicial Review; erected at the end of summer, 750th year of the Yuan Dynasty.]

The inscription meticulously listed Chen Mo's past achievements and lavished praise upon him, making him feel somewhat embarrassed.

"So this is a shrine in the capital city?"

"I didn't expect it to be completed in just a few days since I arrived in southern Xinjiang. The efficiency is quite high..."

"How can I sense this scene even though we are thousands of miles apart? Does the Purple Extreme Profound Technique have such great power?"

He could see that everything before him was reality happening right now, not an illusion.

thump—

A melodious bell rang.

At this moment, a long queue had already formed outside the door, and the number of people was still increasing. They were all people who had been rescued by Chen Mo.

Today is the first day that Zhenyue Temple has officially opened to the public. Many people waited here before dawn. After the temple official opened the gate, they filed in and entered the temple.

The crowd gazed at the statue with expressions of gratitude and respect. They lit incense sticks in their hands, bowed, and then inserted the incense into the bronze incense burner in front of them.

Then they knelt on the prayer mats one by one and bowed their heads in worship.

"I am deeply grateful for Lord Chen's kindness; I can never repay it in this lifetime..."

"I hope Lord Chen will bless my whole family with peace and prosperity..."

"Yao'er, remember this man, he gave you a second life..."

"Lord Chen, you are a man of extraordinary abilities. Could you please help me see when I will be able to find a wife?"

They murmured to themselves, some praying for blessings, others making petitions. Their voices echoed in the hall, causing an invisible ripple that merged with the rising smoke from the incense burner, meandering towards Chen Mo's soul and disappearing into it.

At the same time, the Purple Extreme Profound Art operates on its own, crushing those distracting thoughts like a millstone, leaving only the purest energy.

The fluctuations of soul power among mortals are extremely weak, but their sheer number makes them like countless tiny tributaries that eventually converge into a river. Chen Mo could clearly feel that the origin of his soul was steadily improving!

The purple-gold dragon energy also became more active, and prompts flashed before my eyes one after another:

[Proficiency in "Ancient Spiritual Constitution" has increased; current progress: Burning Lightning (3060/10000).]

[Proficiency in "Ancient Spiritual Constitution" has increased; current progress: Burning Lightning (3062/10000).]

【…】

"It seems that the effect of this shrine far exceeds expectations. It can not only enhance the dragon energy, but also help people cultivate their skills. It is a double benefit..." Chen Mo felt as if his soul was soaking in a hot spring, feeling extremely comfortable and light-hearted, yet his mind was perfectly clear.

Unlike Yin Tiankuo's previous forced deprivation of the people of their seven emotions and six desires, this spontaneous worship would not cause them any harm. On the contrary, it could dispel their distracting thoughts and bring them peace of mind.

Although the efficiency is relatively low, its value lies in its steady and long-term effectiveness.

Chen Mo also figured out the key point. The reason why it could ignore the distance limit was probably due to the dragon energy. After all, it came from the depths of the earth veins and could cross tens of millions of miles in an instant.

"Once the shrine in Bailu City is completed, the joy will be doubled!"

"Given time, perhaps it can truly refine a world!"

……

……

Da da da--

Outside the prefectural government building in Bailu City, a group of people rode in on horseback.

They arrived at the government office, reined in their horses, and dismounted.

The two constables guarding the gate came over, glanced at them, and asked, "May I ask who you are...?"

One of the women in purple raised her hand to show her waist token and said, "Take me to see Lord Chen."

Upon seeing the words "Thousand-Household Commander" engraved on it, the two men couldn't help but shudder. Their expressions became even more respectful as they bowed and said, "So you are Commander Ye. Please come with us."

One of them took the reins and led the horse toward the stable.

The other person led them through the courtroom and into the inner quarters.

"Lord Chen lives in the innermost wing room, which is inconvenient for me to enter. Please make yourselves at home," the bailiff said.

"Alright." Ye Zige nodded slightly, then turned to Song Xuan and Lu Shuyuan and said, "You two wait here too. Li Baihu and I will go and take a look first."

"Yes," the two replied.

Ye Zige and Li Yuan lifted their legs and walked towards the depths of the courtyard.

Although they were not involved in the entire process of what happened in the previous two days, they were aware of what had occurred.

The eldest princess sealed off the prefecture and set up a trap, killing several people on the spot and arresting more than 30 officials involved in the case.

Chen Mo went to the meeting alone and killed four grandmasters at Ziyun Temple!
The two acted almost simultaneously, working together from the inside and outside, and in just one day and one night, they completely wiped out the remnants of the Gu God Cult and the barbarian spies!

“I never expected that the commander of the Xuanjia Guard would have such a problem. He almost harmed Lord Chen…” Li Yuan bit her lip and whispered, “If only I could be stronger, I wouldn’t be unable to help at all.”

"Alright, your strength is already outstanding among your peers. It's just that Chen Mo is too abnormal." Ye Zige waved her hand, not taking it to heart. "Speaking of which, with Mother... cough cough, with the Eldest Princess around, the other party can't cause any trouble."

"makes sense."

Li Yuan's expression softened somewhat.

Then, remembering something, he asked, "By the way, I haven't seen Officer Xu since the night before. Where did she go?"

Ye Zi'e looked somewhat awkward and said, "She... had something come up and went back to Kyoto first."

“Okay.” Li Yuan nodded and didn’t ask any more questions.

Arriving at the door of the side room, Li Yuan raised her hand and knocked on the door. "Lord Chen, are you inside?"

After waiting for a while, there was no response.

The two exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing slightly.

Worried that something might have gone wrong, he pushed the door open and went inside.

Inside the bedroom, Chen Mo sat cross-legged on the bed, his eyes slightly closed. The space around him was slightly distorted, as if invisible flames were burning fiercely, and the range was constantly expanding.

"So they were cultivating..."

They breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

"Wait, what is this?"

Ye Zige noticed that white dust particles were flying in the air, seemingly emanating from Chen Mo's brow.

Curious, she stretched out her delicate hand, and the light dust fell into her palm, like snow melting away, disappearing in an instant.

Other specks of light seemed to have found their target, converging on them and shining like a galaxy for a moment.

At first, they didn't feel anything, but as more and more white dust entered their bodies, their breathing became rapid, their cheeks turned red, and their foreheads were covered with sweat.

"Commander Li, don't you think it's a bit hot in this room?"

"It's not just hot, there's also a weird feeling..."

Li Yuan's chest heaved as she bit her lip, trying hard not to make any strange noises.

Ye Zi'e was in even worse shape; her eyes were glazed over, her legs were trembling, and she could only barely stand by holding onto the bedpost.

She bit her tongue hard, trying to force herself back to consciousness, but to no avail; her consciousness gradually became blurred.

"No, something's not right!"

"I think I've been poisoned by an aphrodisiac?!"
