Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 186 Controlling the Killing Aura

Just as Yang Ping'an was pondering, a golden figure suddenly appeared; it was Chrysanthemum Douluo.

For the past two years, Yang Ping'an has been on edge, constantly thinking about facing enemy attacks. When he suddenly sees someone appear, he doesn't care who it is and grabs them with his claw.

Without wasting words, Chrysanthemum Douluo placed his soul power directly in his palm and struck Yang Ping'an, sending him flying.

Seeing that Yang Ping'an was about to lose control, Chrysanthemum Douluo transformed into a golden figure and used his soul power to forcefully control Yang Ping'an's body.

Yang Ping'an felt an endless pressure coming from all over his body, and his soul power was suppressed. In particular, Chrysanthemum Douluo's palms seemed to be pressing down like Mount Tai, and even his newly acquired Killing God Domain was somewhat suppressed.

As the pressure mounted, Yang Ping'an gradually regained control of his murderous aura and his clarity of mind returned.

Upon seeing that it was Chrysanthemum Douluo before him, Yang Ping'an quickly bowed and said, "Master, I didn't know it was you. I'm so sorry for offending you just now."

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded: "Very well, it's normal that you can't control your killing intent since you just came out of the City of Slaughter. But you have surprised me a bit. In just two years, you have achieved a hundred victories in the Hell Slaughter Arena and even walked the Hell Road to obtain the God of Slaughter Domain. I am very satisfied with your performance."

Yang Ping'an felt a surge of joy, as this was the first time he had received praise from someone, especially his own master. However, he remained expressionless: "Thank you, Master. Without His Holiness the Pope and Master, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to intimidate the King of Slaughter, and it wouldn't have been so easy for us to leave the City of Slaughter."

Chrysanthemum Douluo's face showed a hint of relief: "I was just following His Holiness the Pope's instructions. The one who truly helped you is the Pope, and the King of Slaughter is also afraid of the Pope."

"Next, you'll need to figure out how to control this murderous aura surrounding you. What are your plans?"

Yang Ping'an quickly said, "Please give me some pointers, Master."

Chrysanthemum Douluo pondered for a while before speaking: "To control the killing aura, it is best to do something that is the opposite of killing, or to use some external objects to cultivate."

Yang Ping'an seemed to have thought of something, and his heart was moved: "Master, I've heard that there's a Moon Pavilion in Tiandou City. Could it be that you want me to use the Moon Pavilion to control the killing intent?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo sneered instead: "The Moon Pavilion is indeed quite nice, especially the Pavilion Master Tang Yuehua. His martial soul is naturally capable of suppressing killing intent, but this Tang Yuehua is not simple. She is from the Clear Sky Sect."

Yang Ping'an didn't care about all that: "Master, with the Spirit Hall's control and understanding of the Slaughter City, they should have a way to control the God of Slaughter Domain, right?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo shook his head: "Controlling the God of Slaughter Domain requires letting nature take its course, and it also requires your own will. His Holiness the Pope also possesses the God of Slaughter Domain, and he gave you some insights into its control. In addition, my Spirit Hall encompasses all kinds of people with different spirits, including some mental-type spirit masters who can stabilize their minds. If you need them, I can arrange that for you."

After speaking, Chrysanthemum Douluo handed Yang Ping'an a booklet containing the method by which Bibi Dong controlled the God of Slaughter Domain.

Yang Pingan casually flipped through a few pages, and they were basically about controlling the disease using flowers, plants, the natural environment, and medicine, which was similar to what Yang Pingan had thought before.

However, after hesitating for a while, Yang Ping'an said, "Master, I plan to return to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to cultivate and, by the way, control the Killing God Domain."

Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded: "The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is indeed excellent. In the past two years, I have transplanted a lot of medicinal herbs into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Many of them are my treasures from many years ago. It is completely different now than when I last went there."

After some discussion, Yang Ping'an followed Chrysanthemum Douluo and the other person to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

When Yang Ping'an returned to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, the entire place was lush and green, filled with all kinds of spiritual herbs. Although there were no immortal herbs, there were still many spiritual herbs that were hundreds or even thousands of years old. It was clear that this place had been carefully cultivated and cared for by Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Meanwhile, Li Gui disguised himself as a flower farmer and was actually tending to the spiritual herbs inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, leaving Yang Ping'an speechless.

After Chrysanthemum Douluo gave some instructions, he left alone. Yang Ping'an didn't pay much attention and prepared to find a way to control the killing aura according to his own methods.

Bibi Dong's cultivation booklet is indeed quite good. Following her method, one can effectively control the killing intent, but Yang Ping'an doesn't want to do that. He has his own ideas.

The best way to control killing intent has always been to cultivate at Yuexuan, just like Tang San did in the original novel. This way, one can use Tang Yuehua's inherent noble domain to dissipate killing intent.

However, Yang Ping'an felt that although this method was good, it was a waste of the killing energy. This killing energy originated from his own body. Instead of controlling it, he should try to master it and make the killing energy on his body his true trump card. Maybe the Killing God Domain could evolve again in the future.

In the following period, Yang Ping'an mainly did three things. The first was to calm down and write. Every day, Yang Ping'an tried to calm down and write the Heart Sutra ten times. As one of the most famous Buddhist scriptures in his previous life, the Heart Sutra can effectively soothe people's inner desires and make people truly achieve inner peace.

Especially during each time I write the Heart Sutra, its contents seem to be etched into my mind, whether intentionally or unintentionally. The phrase "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form" makes my thoughts even clearer.

The second thing is to cultivate the flowers and plants in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

Among the many spiritual herbs, there are those with very strong spiritual energy that can nourish one's body. Especially under the influence of the power of ice and fire during the two nights of ice and fire, these spiritual herbs can be seen growing almost visibly. In this growth process, one seems to see the rebirth of life and witness the miracle of life. All of this seems to soothe the restlessness in one's heart, as if one is merging into the whole of nature.

In particular, Yang Ping'an sometimes likes to pay attention to the growth of some newly grown spiritual herbs, sometimes staying for several days at a time, witnessing a seed gradually sprout, grow branches, and finally grow into flowers, as if it were a transformation of life.

This cycle repeats itself endlessly, seemingly allowing one to understand the essence of life.

The last thing is the battle. In this Sunset Forest, the resources of soul beasts are very rich. Although there are no 100,000-year soul beasts, there are quite a few high-level soul beasts, and there are also quite a few soul beasts over 50,000 years old, not to mention some ordinary 10,000-year soul beasts.

Yang Ping'an would go out to fight every few days, without using dragon transformation or external soul bones, or even soul skills; he simply pursued the most primal form of combat.

During the battle, Yang Ping'an tried his best to use his own killing intent, attempting to gradually transform the originally formless killing intent into the form he desired.
