From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 121 The Mind is Like a Mirror, The Mind is Like a Knife
Amidst the dense fog, deep within the Dharma realm, a streak of five-colored light was rapidly traversing.

Five colors intertwined, like rosy clouds and flowing water, carrying Youming as it swept across the void at such a speed that its outline was almost invisible. From a distance, it looked like a rainbow hanging in the sky.

As You Ming stood on the clouds, he saw the surrounding scenery rushing past him, and a feeling of exhilaration welled up in his heart.

After obtaining the five-colored cloud, he bid farewell to the City God and the River God, and went alone to the deeper reaches of the Dharma Realm.

He held a talisman in his palm, a gift from the City God, which allowed him to open the City God's Dharma Realm elsewhere.

If you encounter any spoils that are difficult to move, you can temporarily store them in the City God's Realm.

"Crash."

As he ventured deeper into the heavens, countless evil spirits fluttered their wings and flew down from the sky.

These low-level evil spirits are the most numerous, often attacking in groups of thousands. If you try to defeat them, you will only attract even more evil spirits.

Therefore, generally speaking, one must unleash a thunderous strike in a very short time, quickly eliminate a wave of enemies, and then turn and leave without lingering.

"Om."

You Ming raised his head, his brow split open, and a dark eye coldly stared at the evil spirits filling the sky, as if an invisible radiance enveloped them, instantly covering the evil spirits.

Normally, the prerequisite for an artifact to work is to see these monsters.

But You Ming had activated [Battle Vision] at this moment. Even though some evil spirits were squeezed behind other evil spirits, under his gaze, all the health bars, mana bars, and even names and races were fully revealed.

"call."

The bellies of all the evil spirits swelled up rapidly as if being inflated. After a few breaths, countless evil fetuses drained their essence, tore their bodies apart, and turned against them, killing the mother directly.

After the mother dies, these evil fetuses have no more support and all turn into nothingness.

In an instant, countless points of light fell from the sky, and metal seeped into his body. In that brief moment, You Ming's merit points increased by tens of thousands, bringing the total to over one hundred thousand.

But don't assume that these merit points are enough. To compete for a top ten spot, you need at least a million merit points.

You Ming killed so many evil spirits in one go, but the evil spirits in the sky did not retreat.

On the contrary, more and more terrifying evil spirits began to gather.

His actions were nothing more than throwing a stone into a large lake.

The evil spirits have no fixed shape or real face. Some look like pale vengeful ghosts, some look like blurry human faces being torn apart in the wind, and some are just shadows running, twisting, and hissing on the ground.

They are "desire", "seeking", "attachment", and "greed".

Boundless and vast, like long-dormant stale gas suddenly awakening, surging towards the intruders.

You Ming remained calm and composed, while the colorful clouds trembled gently beneath his feet.

With a flick of his fingers, nearly invisible, transparent water lines shot out, rapidly intertwining in the void. Wherever the water lines passed, large swathes of evil spirits were abruptly split in two.

As You Ming's thoughts raced, these water lines changed, intersected, bounced, and pulled according to his ideas, evolving into different shapes.

Ultimately, it seemed to form a net that stretched from heaven to earth, and all evil spirits that tried to break through the blockade would only become part of Youming's attack points.

"Boom."

After several attacks, the critical hit effect brought about by the "Great Technique of Crossing the Tide in the Abyss" was triggered once again.

Countless accumulating water vapors burst forth, causing the water lines to bounce like cotton balls, and for a fleeting moment, the evil spirits in the sky were left blank.

It's as if the stone thrown into the lake was too big, and it took longer to fill the gap.

About three breaths later, the swarming evil spirits finally filled the empty space.

But You Ming let out a long howl, and the light wheel in his mind turned, causing all the water lines to merge into one in an instant.

Above the sky, waves of malevolent energy surged forth, some like mountains pressing down, some like rivers surging backward, and some invisible, transforming into a strange restlessness that entangled the divine consciousness, causing one to hesitate and want to escape. But You Ming's mind remained as still as a mirror, completely undisturbed.

His thought was swift and decisive; the strike, composed of countless lines of water, was brimming with sharp power, like a blade that pierced the heavens and the earth.

The blade's energy was like a rainbow, instantly tearing the evil spirits apart once again.

Wherever its sharp edge swept, all evil was cut down and dissolved into the silent torrent of divine will.

However, You Ming's resolve became increasingly firm and pure. These evil spirits originated from human desires, and through this method, he was essentially refining his own soul time and time again.

You Ming even had a premonition that if he could stay here for a long time to hone his skills, his willpower attribute might be further enhanced.

At this moment, he was like a sword with its blade hidden, silent and still, but once he made his move, he would not hesitate at all.

After breaking through the blockade of this wave of evil spirits, You Ming did not linger but quickly flew deeper into the area.

Evil spirits kept appearing along the way, but he kept erasing them one by one with his supernatural powers.

Neither the lingering, eerie shadows that swept across the land, nor the determined evil spirits that leaped from the ground, could withstand him for even a moment.

His speed never decreased; on the contrary, he became faster and more stable with each kill.

The thick fog surrounding the Zhenshan Dharma Realm grew even thicker, and the surroundings seemed to gradually change from dusk to midnight.

This indicates that he has gradually delved into deeper levels.

The multicolored clouds beneath him were as smooth as silk, tearing a clean flight path through layers of black mist, but his speed was gradually slowing down.

You Ming suddenly looked down at the ground.

The underground was pitch black, shrouded in a thick fog, and seemed to contain nothing at all.

However, a terrifying scene appeared in his [Battle Vision]: two astonishing health bars and mana bars appeared, indicating that a huge evil spirit existed in a place that You Ming could not see.

Target: Desire-driven evil spirits.

Health: 98%.

Mana: 95%.

Battle Spirit: Spy (Recovery +1, Attack -1).

Although You Ming could not see the other party's appearance, their name bar, health bar, and mana bar were each floating there.

In an instant, he switched the aim assist plugin to vulnerability detection.

However, he only saw an astonishing red color, like a red sun shining in the darkness.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that this evil spirit has too many flaws; it is flawed in every way.

"Swish swish."

Since his body was full of openings, You Ming instantly turned the light wheel in his mind, and fine water lines fell down, frantically falling towards the ground.

Each fine line contains terrifying cutting power.

However, the health and mana bars didn't decrease at all.

"Ok?"

You Ming instantly felt a bit of a headache. This was the crudeness of the [Flaw Detection] tool. It only told you that there was a flaw, but it didn't explain how to exploit it.

The fact that this evil spirit has so much red light indicates that it has a huge weakness, making it particularly easy to deal with.

Because there were no hints, Youming didn't know exactly how to deal with it.
