From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

The Holy Lord said, “He will be our opponent.”

Once the ninth demon is defeated, he will inevitably leave to maintain the balance of Yin and Yang. Then, the only ones we'll have to deal with are Chen Long and his group.

“It’s hard to say whether your son can find the second demonic energy,” Basha questioned. “What if the immortal god gets his hands on Bogang’s demonic energy first?”

"Could he possibly devour Bo Gang's demonic energy? He must have put it in District 13."

The Holy Lord already knew the location of District Thirteen. "Even if they get all the demonic energy, it doesn't matter. We can just catch them off guard and take all the demonic energy back, right?"

"What if the immortal god happens to be in District Thirteen?"

Basha asked again, "The other party is different from that old man. They don't know Qi magic spells, but they definitely have a way to truly obliterate our souls!"

As demons sharing the same origin as the Eight Immortals, their essence is demonic energy. Therefore, even if their souls are obliterated, their demonic energy can still possess a human and give birth to a demon exactly like them. Moreover, they can even recover to their strongest state over a long period of time.

But what is born from that demonic energy is a completely new kind of demon... In essence, it is still them, but their souls are no longer the same!

It's about the relationship between this life and the next!

"The Eight Immortals imprisoned us in hell to erase our memories and wisdom, leaving us with only pure demonic energy and physical form," Di Kui said.

"My brothers and sisters, when did you become afraid?"

The Holy Lord's words were tinged with sarcasm, "When the time comes, we'll all attack together, without getting bogged down in battle, and just take the demonic energy, won't that be enough?"

and.

I have a premonition that because he is too powerful and the black energy is weak, it is growing at an extremely rapid rate, and my son will definitely find your demonic energy very easily.

In other words, collecting the Ghost Mask is a bit difficult.

That's the dark energy originating from the human heart. Humans are a mixture of yin and yang, where righteous energy can amplify them, and dark energy can bewitch them, which is why accidents happen... But it doesn't matter. As long as we find Tara's mask, revive the ghost, and then seal it, we can contain all the ghostly legions. After that, extracting the dark demonic energy from them will be much simpler.

"Holy Lord, you've really played a clever game. This way, only half of your demonic energy will remain," Basha retorted sarcastically.

"The Little Demon Dragon is your nephew, so it's only right that you take care of him, brothers and sisters."

The Holy Lord gave a cold laugh, ended the communication, and sank his entire body into the magma to further experience the form of the natural energy, hoping to recover as much of his lost power as possible...

# Chapter 832 Work-Life Balance (Part 1)

"I have compiled a list of all the raw materials that could potentially be found for the eight types of demonic energy!"

In the blink of an eye.

Two days passed quietly.

Using a method that focuses on key points, based on the abilities of the eight demons, the geographical locations where they were once sealed, and their appearances, Xiaoyu summarized eight piles of materials that might be the ingredients for searching for the eight demonic energies.

But whether to use all of them, and the proportions in the potion recipe—

But you need to try them one by one.

That is, the exhaustive method.

Even in modern science, the "exhaustive method" is key to continuous trial and error.

"Do we still need to exhaustively list them?"

Xiaoyu's excitement vanished almost instantly.

"Human beings have come to today's modern civilization through trial and error step by step."

Jiang Liu patted Xiao Yu's head and taught her, "Just like Qi cultivation, every cultivation method that can be taught to others contains the accumulated wisdom of generations of predecessors."

Where did the wisdom of the ancients come from?

It's about constantly trying and making mistakes, accumulating experience, which means—

Exhaustive search.

While adventure can certainly broaden one's horizons, Xiaoyu had already experienced far too many things that ordinary people could hardly imagine, which greatly expanded her perspective.

Therefore, what she needs at this stage is no longer to keep taking risks, but to control her wandering mind, to let her past memories settle, to enrich her thinking, to raise her awareness, to inspire her thoughts, to unite her spirit, and even to let her spirit further transform into her soul.

After that, use your mind to guide your brain and achieve the primordial spirit.

of course.

This system cannot be entirely compared to the fourth-stage awakening of the Light of the Mind within the Gene Lock system, and it cannot truly bring practical power. However, if combined with the Gene Lock system and the path of Qi cultivation, the Light of the Mind, upon awakening, can be personalized according to individual obsessions and beliefs, without any distinction between initial, intermediate, and advanced stages. There is only a continuous process of merging and evolving with the body's energy...

As for Xiaoyu, this exceptionally talented disciple—

If she can settle down, Jiang Liu intends to teach her everything without reservation.

"What's the point of grasping the essentials and making everything else fall into place?"

Xiaoyu was puzzled, "In the end, don't we still need to exhaustively verify it?"

"The significance is that it can give us a clear direction and save us the time of exhaustive searching. This is true for the development of science and the study of magic."

Jiang Liu patiently explained, then changed the subject, saying, "However, both Qi cultivation and research require a balance between work and rest. Don't you have a puppet show today?"

I promised to go with you to the performance.

Just treat it as relaxation!

"Great!"

Xiaoyu, being a child at heart, cheered and jumped for joy upon seeing that Jiang Liu truly kept his word. She skipped upstairs, pulled out the script, and took out five puppets: Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, the White Dragon Horse, and Tang Sanzang, which she had asked Jiang Liu to carve over the past two days.

In addition, there are other demons, monsters, immortals, Buddhas and gods from "Journey to the West", which can be described as having everything.

"Look, this is the script I wrote."

After going downstairs, Xiaoyu immediately showed the script to Jiang Liu, her clear brown eyes full of anticipation.

The script is adapted from the stories of "Tang Sanzang's journey is blocked by the Flaming Mountain, and Sun Wukong borrows the Banana Leaf Fan for the first time", "The Bull Demon King stops fighting and goes to a grand banquet, and Sun Wukong borrows the Banana Leaf Fan for the second time", and "Pigsy helps defeat the Demon King, and Sun Wukong borrows the Banana Leaf Fan for the third time". However, the original "fire-removing" story has evolved into a simple and brutal story of "true heroes" defeating "false heroes".

Um--

Even disregarding the principles of cultivation and the way of being a person revealed in these three chapters, and simply considering it as a story, "Sun Wukong's Battle Against the Bull Demon King" is indeed worth talking about, and can even be called an epic battle.

"Not bad, then I'll rehearse with you now."

After flipping through the script, Jiang Liu gently raised his finger, and the invisible magnetic field transformed into threads that wrapped around the puppets of the master, disciples, and horse, making them move as if they were truly alive.

"cool!"

Seeing the lifelike movements of the four people and the horse, which were not like the puppet-like movements of Chen Long, Xiao Yu reached out and waved her hand back and forth between the puppet and Jiang Liu's outstretched fingers, but touched nothing. Her eyes lit up, "What kind of magic is this?"

"Human magnetic field: everything in the world has magnetism. By controlling human magnetism, one can perceive the magnetism of all things and then control objects with magnetism, even people."

Jiang Liu flicked his hand, and a transparent membrane appeared, circled around Xiao Yu, lifted her feet off the ground, and slowly floated in mid-air.

"Hmm, it feels similar to using the chicken talisman."

Lifted up by the magnetic force, Xiaoyu felt every cell in her body enveloped by an invisible force field, and as if she were being massaged, her whole body felt light and airy, like she was swimming in the air.

In Xiaoyu's experience, it had an effect almost identical to the magic of the chicken talisman.

Can I learn it?

"can."

"Yay! That's awesome!"

"The Foundation Building Method will allow you to explore the power of human magnetism."

The fundamental reason for practicing the Foundation Building Method to improve one's Qi cultivation aptitude lies in the fact that when breathing is coordinated with specific stances, the body's magnetic field can be naturally mobilized to regulate the internal organs, meridians, and bones, resulting in a harmonious body and a strong physique.

Most people naturally cannot control human magnetism with just this one foundation-building method, but those with exceptional talent can use it to explore some tricks for manipulating human magnetism.

With Xiaoyu's talent, she might be able to access human magnetism soon.

"Really? Then I must speed things up."

After saying that, Xiaoyu put down the puppet and went to train.

But as soon as he turned around, Jiang Liu grabbed his arm and said, "Haste makes waste."

Besides, wasn't I supposed to cooperate with your puppet show?

Don't be indecisive.

Puppet show.

Foundation building method.

After much deliberation, Xiaoyu finally chose the puppet show.

Without him.

When the time comes, all her classmates will go to the theater to watch it, especially her deskmate Xiaozhu, who will definitely impress him.

"Performing in a theater?"

The old man held up one finger. "An old friend of mine is also performing at the theater today. They plan to build a theater near Niujinshan later..."

It is now said that they were invited by an elementary school in San Francisco to hold a drama competition.

Wait, could this be the competition you signed up for, Xiaoyu?

"Dad, you have friends?" Xiaoyu asked in surprise.

"What are you saying?"

The old man glared at him, then shook his head and complained, "Kids these days really have no manners."

Then, the old man asked Chen Long, who was haphazardly arranging playing cards, "Chen Long, have you found the design, location, and formula for removing the next mask?"

"Not yet, Dad. And I received a call from the museum; some valuable artifacts have been stolen. If we don't hear anything about masks appearing on these playing cards within an hour, I'll have to go with the police to look for clues..."

Chen Long was grumbling as he laid out a blank deck of cards when three of them emitted a green light, revealing a second mask. The mask was located in a dinosaur museum in the United States, and the recipe for removing it was Japanese rice.

"Japanese rice?"

On his last trip to Japan, my dad bought a lot of Japanese specialties, including Japanese rice. He immediately made a recipe for removing masks, and double the amount, just in case…
