Why are all of us who transmigrated at the same time demons?

Qi needs to circulate freely to be harmonious and nourishing, just as "running water never stagnates and a door hinge never rusts." Qi restriction, on the other hand, forcibly restricts the flow of qi, artificially distorting vital energy into malevolent energy by creating a distorted and closed qi environment.

The Seven Killings refer to seven fundamental types of evil energy: the metal, wood, water, fire, and earth evil energy based on the five elements, and the sun and moon evil energy based on yin and yang. These seven fundamental evil energy can combine to create endless evil energy.

For example, he tried to create a breeding ground for evil spirits on the hill in Loran's backyard, where he buried several corpses.

When Luo Lan saw that he had been staying at home cultivating and not going out recently, the group of cronies who had usurped the original body of Huang Liu harbored evil intentions again. They came over to spread rumors about Luo Lan and tried to induce him to do something stupid again.

Loran quickly figured out the origins of these people—the Quanxing—through his ability to transform into his own. So Loran killed these people and used them as raw materials to cultivate evil energy.

The combination of the supernatural and the secular in the world of one person is far less than in the world of urban Loran. In the world of urban Loran, martial arts is also an important indicator of a person's social status. Many high-ranking people are martial arts masters, and martial arts masters can openly serve as worshippers and open classes to take on disciples.

However, martial arts instruction is very expensive, and most people simply cannot afford it.

However, since martial arts masters have come out into the open, they must abide by the laws and regulations promulgated by the state. Martial arts masters will certainly receive preferential treatment, but at the very least, they will be subject to legal trial for murder and injury. Martial arts practitioners and ordinary people are in the same court.

The world of the superhumans is completely separate from the secular world. Although the superhumans may have various identities and titles in the secular world, the superhuman society follows a completely different set of logic from the secular rules.

The conflicts between extraordinary individuals are not governed by law, and murder is not punished by law. They are only subject to the jurisdiction of the "Ten Elders," the self-governing organization of extraordinary individuals, and the supervision of the Na Du Tong Company. It is a complete separation between the imperial court and the martial arts world.

Even if someone dies in a fight between supernatural beings, as long as things don't escalate, the higher-ups won't care.

Even if an alien kills an ordinary person, they will not be sentenced by the court, but will be punished by the company. Although everyone knows that the company is backed by the government, they do not have law enforcement power in a procedural and legal sense. They are a special agency that is different from the "national law".

Therefore, the company often feels constrained in managing the world of supernatural beings, which leads to many of these beings using outdated, ancient ways of thinking to solve problems. This makes them more like the jungle than modern civilization, or more like the martial arts world in traditional wuxia novels.

Loran couldn't say which social form was better. The former was more likely to lead to the oppression of ordinary people by martial arts masters, but martial artists could participate in the operation and production of society to a greater extent.

However, the latter completely segregates society. This small-country approach prevents the extraordinary from ever truly participating in the operation of society, and they can only entertain themselves in their own small circles.

Regardless of the type, if not handled properly, it will create conflict between superhumans and ordinary people, especially the latter. Ordinary people, who have long accepted the concept of magiclessness, find it difficult to accept superhumans, while superhumans look down on these mortals and even wonder why they should suppress their power because of these mortals.

This social division led to the birth of the malignant group Quanxing. Although the company and the Ten Elders gave a high-sounding reason, saying that where there is yang, there is yin, where there is light, there is darkness, and that Quanxing, as a dumping ground, is necessary for the world of the supernatural.

But anyone who has studied some theories of human social governance would scoff at this statement. How different is Quanxing from gangs or organized crime?

No, Quanxing is inferior to both gangs and organized crime. Many gangs have extremely strict internal order, but Quanxing has absolutely no order.

So-called gangs and organized crime are simply malignant flowers that bloom when the upper levels of government have no power at the grassroots level. The reason why some countries rely on gangs to function is entirely due to the government's insufficient control over the grassroots, which is a result of the loss of government functions.

Power is conserved; if you don't seize it, someone else will. Moreover, the Quanxing faction is even less powerful than a triad. Triads can maintain order at the grassroots level even when the government fails, although this order might be skewed towards a vicious one.

The whole society is pure chaos, it doesn't even have the function of maintaining the operation of society. Calling them a gang is too kind of them, they are just a group of terrorists or bandits.

It is evident that the operation of the society of extraordinary people is still based on the logic of the feudal era: the company is the imperial court, the Ten Elders are powerful families, other sects are local strongmen, ordinary people are commoners, and Quanxing is bandits.

In ancient times, bandits had no social standing. For example, the Qin Dynasty allowed civilians to carry out private punishments against thieves, while the Han Dynasty law explicitly stated that "thieves who attack villages or break into people's homes in groups shall be killed without punishment." The laws of the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties clearly stipulated that "those who kill thieves shall not be punished," and even in border areas, the public was allowed to assist in the capture and killing of serious crimes such as "bandits" and "bandits."

The Society of the Extraordinary followed ancient laws, and even acted more ruthlessly than in ancient times. This is because ancient times at least stipulated limits on self-defense, while the Society of the Extraordinary directly stipulated that one could do whatever one wanted with members of the Quanxing.

So, let alone Loran treating them like dirt, even if they were to behead Quanxing on a live stream on a website dedicated to people with supernatural abilities, they would probably only get a warning from the company.

Loran walked to the place where evil spirits were nurtured. Now, the vegetation was withered, and the soil was purplish-black, clearly a barren land, all due to the influence of evil energy. Loran stretched out his hand, and a large amount of multicolored evil energy was gathered between his fingers.

"The main evil influences are wood and earth, with some water and fire, and the least metal." Loran observed the composition of the evil energy.

A golden light emanated from his fingertips, transforming into a small golden bottle that contained the malevolent energy. If an outsider with some knowledge were present, they would exclaim in surprise that this was the Golden Light Mantra of Longhu Mountain, and moreover, a Golden Light Mantra that had reached the level of transforming Qi into form.

In the time since Loran's birth, he has traveled all over the country and visited many places known to the public as places of supernatural beings, such as Baiyun Temple in Beijing, Tianshi Mansion on Longhu Mountain, Wudang Mountain in Hubei, Tang Clan in Sichuan, and Shaolin Temple on Songshan Mountain.

Undoubtedly, these places for people of different kinds and places open to the secular world are separate; for example, Longhu Mountain has a front and back mountain.

But who is Loran? He's an old thief who has traveled through multiple worlds and possesses all sorts of wondrous spells. He also has the stolen divine skill "Transformation at Will," which allowed him to quickly learn most of the less core secret techniques of various sects.

He learned all the unique skills of various schools, including the Golden Light Mantra of Longhu Mountain, the Pseudo-Cultivation Diagram of Baiyun Temple, the Tai Chi of Wudang, the Illusionary Body Miasma and Earth and Wood Flow of the Tang Clan, and the Seventy-Two Arts of Shaolin Temple.

Take the Golden Light Mantra, for example. This spell is actually quite simple. As long as one has strong life cultivation, one can quickly improve upon it. Loran was quite confident in his own life cultivation.

Loran almost got caught by the old master. This was the first time that "Hehua Zizai" was almost discovered. Fortunately, the other party only seemed to sense it but did not really notice.

The core essence of Paranirmitavasavartin is the resonance of the five senses; the celestial demon perceives the world through the senses of others. Theoretically, as long as you have strong enough control over your own five senses, you can be exempt from Paranirmitavasavartin.

But so far, Loran has not seen anyone who can control their five senses so perfectly.

The ninjas in the ninja world don't have this concept of "self-cultivation." They all rely on pushing themselves to the limit to gain powerful combat strength. That's why people in the world of supernatural beings often become stronger with age because their cultivation accumulates continuously. In contrast, the ninja community is a group of people whose strength declines drastically with age; a typical example is the Third Hokage.

In the urban world, Loran felt that perhaps even a Celestial Being could achieve it, but even a First-Rank cultivator would find it somewhat unlikely, because Loran herself was already close to reaching the Second-Rank and had a general understanding of the First-Rank. A First-Rank cultivator or a martial artist could not achieve the First-Rank.

In the world of Bleach, none of the Hollows and Shinigami that Loran encountered could control their five senses to such an extent. If these Shinigami truly had such perfect control over their senses, they wouldn't have been manipulated by Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu.

Not necessarily. Some of the old artifacts in the Lingwang Palace might actually be able to do it.

Loran put away the golden bottle and walked towards the villa at the foot of the mountain.

With these techniques, even if Loran practices step by step, he can become a super master.

What is Koloran? A demon.

If you want him to obediently follow the Buddhist or Taoist path of "Nirvana and Tranquility" and "harmony with nature," then you are making things difficult for him.

Idea King Loran has a better idea.

Chapter 71 Under One Person: The Heaven of Other Transformation in the Inner Realm

Lorraine hasn't gone anywhere lately; she's just stayed in her large villa at the foot of Mount Lushan.

He has recently been meditating on inner visions.

In Taoism, "inner landscape" and "outer landscape" are core concepts in the cultivation system, referring respectively to the contemplation of the inner body and mind and the integration with the external nature and universe.

The inner vision refers to observing the internal organs, meridians, essence, qi and spirit through methods such as introspection and meditation. It emphasizes the unity of mind and nature and the regulation of internal energy. The Huangting Neijing Jing describes it as "the image of observing the unity of mind and nature".

External observation refers to understanding the principles of the "Tao" by observing natural phenomena (such as mountains, rivers, plants, and the changing seasons) or social laws, and using this understanding to adjust one's relationship with the outside world. The "Huangting Waijing Jing" emphasizes cultivation methods that involve interacting with external energy, such as "breathing and circulating qi" and "swallowing saliva and treasuring essence."

However, the inner world of Under One Person is quite unique; it is a strange space. It is both a physical space of the spiritual realm and a medium for peeking into the secrets of heaven, and it seems that everyone's inner world is connected.

The more Loran looked at the interior, the more he felt that it was like a subspace before the four peddlers were turned into a cesspool. After all, the subspace also had another name - the Sea of ​​Souls.

The interior is the embodiment of the spiritual realm, and the subspace is also the realm of spirit and soul.

The interior is dangerous and full of taboos, and the subspace is also dangerous and full of taboos.

Sorcerers use inner visions to glimpse the secrets of the heavens, while psionicists use the warp to foresee the future.

The warlocks were all talking nonsense, and so were the psionicists.

Moreover, Loran had heard a saying that the spiritual realms and shrines of various sects and household spirits were located in the inner realm. Coincidentally, the divine kingdoms of the Chaos Gods were also in the Warp.

Moreover, Loran discovered that his consciousness had entered the subspace... no, the inner world, and felt completely at home, as if this was the place he was meant to be.

Without a doubt, Loran knew that it was his unknown racial traits that had come into play.

In order for a sorcerer to remain calm and safe in the inner realm, in addition to following certain rules, a corresponding level of meditative concentration is also required.

The "Four Realms of Meditation" refers to a system for measuring the different spiritual states that practitioners achieve through cultivation. The four realms of meditation can be summarized as follows:

The first stage is the initial entry into stillness and tranquility, where joy arises from detachment: the practitioner begins to rid themselves of distracting thoughts, their mind gradually calms, emotional fluctuations are largely suppressed, and they enter a state of "meditation." This is the introductory stage of stillness meditation and the minimum threshold for practicing ordinary meditation methods.

Secondly, a state of tranquility and stability leads to joy and peace: external disturbances are difficult to penetrate the mind, allowing the practitioner to focus more intently on perceiving the flow of energy between themselves and the universe. This stage is one of the fundamental thresholds for a practitioner's cultivation.

Thirdly, there is joy in stillness, a subtle bliss beyond mere pleasure: practitioners experience profound pleasure (i.e., subtle bliss) in stillness, further transcending worldly desires. However, this pleasure may give rise to new distracting thoughts (such as attachment to "bliss"), which, if not overcome, can lead to demonic possession. If one forcibly practices magic before reaching the third stage of stillness, one is highly susceptible to becoming trapped in inner illusions from which one cannot escape.

Fourth is the state of selflessness, where one relinquishes all thoughts and achieves purity: the practitioner completely abandons even the pleasure brought by "stillness," entering a state of selflessness where "there is nothing to be emptied," fully resonating with the energy of heaven and earth. At this time, the merit of "stillness" is perfected, and the circulation and condensation of Qi reach their ultimate state.

Loran's meditation skills were only at the third level—detachment from joy and bliss—but after entering the inner realm, he didn't feel any inner realm illusion at all. He could return to reality whenever he wanted, and entering and leaving the inner realm was as easy for him as entering and leaving his own home.

Loran sits like a god enthroned in the inner landscape, residing in the heavens.

Looking at the spacious and mysterious interior, Loran had a bold idea.

The rumors that those sects created their own Dharma realms within the inner realm are somewhat true.

The real part is that Loran did see the prototype of the so-called "Dharma Realm" in the inner vision. It is known that those gods do have their own part in the inner vision, and the ritual priests of some sects can definitely communicate with these "Dharma Realms" to a certain extent.

What's the fake part? It's that these "gods of the Dharma Realm" are far less powerful and agile than Loran had imagined, and certainly not as real as the monks and Taoists boasted.

The inner world is like the subspace; many things inside are illusory, and most people can't grasp them.

A common example is Guan Yu.

Guan Yu, also known as Lord Guan Erye, holds an extremely high position in Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. In Buddhism, he is revered as "Bodhisattva of the Sangharama" and "Buddha of the Guardian of the Nation." In Confucianism, he is revered as the Martial Saint among the "Two Saints of Literature and Martial Arts." In Taoism, he is worshipped as "Great Emperor Guan Sheng Dijun, the Divine Mighty Emperor Who Subdues Demons in the Three Realms."

So here's the question: what if there are four people, each from Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, and the last person is a folk entertainer?

The four of them got into a fight for some reason, and each of them called for reinforcements. They all happened to call for Guan Yu. In this situation, who should Guan Yu help? Or should he help everyone, or should he help no one?

You, the Taoist priest, said that Guan Yu, as the "Great Emperor Who Subdues Demons in the Three Realms," naturally resides within the lineage of their Taoist sect.

The monk said that the Bodhisattva of the Sangharama resides in the monastery of all monks and protects the Dharma.

The scholar said that Guan Yu was a man of great righteousness, whose noble spirit flowed through the mountains and rivers, and who was worshipped as a martial saint by Confucianism.

As a result, the entertainers said that you bunch of Taoist priests, bald monks, and pedantic scholars were talking nonsense. Guan Yu clearly exists in the beliefs of all people, and it is we who interpret his legends and collect and aggregate the beliefs.

From the examples above, we can see that the so-called Lord Guan, the Holy Emperor, is actually a belief. The fact that entertainers can collect and perform it in the real world shows that the "Lord Guan" in the inner realm of the Dharma is not so divine.

After all, in the world of Under One Person, entertainers are the true lineage of shamans, and they have more authority than Buddhists and Taoists to speak on the true nature of gods.

As the saying goes, the real boss is the one in the real universe; the truly powerful gods reside in the real world.

Just like those immortals, although their shrines are located in the inner realm, their true forms are all in the real world.

Therefore, the inner landscape is truly a blue ocean for Loran. Since the Buddhist "Paranirmitavasavartin" is an illusion, why doesn't Loran create a real "Paranirmitavasavartin" in the inner landscape?

Moreover, Loran has a ready-made reference point, which is the mysterious space where they hold many Loran gatherings, a space they named "Otherworldly Free Heaven".

The interior is a spiritual world where everything can be moved at will.

Therefore, when Loran visualized his own assembly's "Otherworldly Realm" with his powerful spiritual vision, a phantom world constructed entirely of pure crystal truly took shape within the inner vision.

The Paranirmitavasavartin seems to fit the inner landscape exceptionally well. Could it be that the Paranirmitavasavartin where they gathered is a super-large "inner landscape" that spans all the heavens?

Lorraine decided to bring up this conjecture at the next gathering.

Now, Loran sits in the "Heaven of Others" he has contemplated, and the faith of the King of Mara continues to gather, making this space increasingly solid and perfect.

Loran looked at his current illusory image: his bare upper body was adorned with magnificent jewelry, he wore a royal crown, had a beautiful figure, and four arms.

This is how people perceive the Great Sage Moro, the Son of Heaven incarnate.

Part of the faith flows in the real world, while the rest flows into the inner world.

They believed this, and so Lorraine was depicted in the interior.

Of course, this perception was very strong, but Loran's demonic nature came into play at this moment.

Instead of drawing upon the faith of the Son of Moro, he condensed the Son of Moro into a physical form and then used him as the target for seizing power.

He seized the Dao from the mindless Moro King and used him as a shell to protect himself from the poison of faith.

Now that the Heaven of Self-Transformation has been established, hehehe, it's time to give the supernatural beings a little shock from the demon.

Chapter 72 Under One Person: Fantasy Master

In a dark alley in a village within a first-tier city in the East, three shady-looking young men made their furtive meeting.

"Has the new shipment arrived yet?" the blond man in the brown jacket asked in a low voice.

"Of course I'm here." The tall, thin man with black hair opposite him took out a square object that was tightly wrapped with newspaper and tape.

The blond-haired man revealed a look of delight and eagerly reached out to take it.

"Hey, hey, hey!" The tall, thin man with black hair snatched the goods back with lightning speed. "Pay first, then take the goods. Don't you know the rules, you little punk?"

The chubby guy with the yellow hair next to him, who was dressed in a punk style, quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said with a laugh, "Brother Li, this kid is someone I just brought into the Quanxing group. He's a bit naive, so please bear with him."

"Liu Daye, I'm telling you, stop your damn nonsense. My time is precious, pay up!" The tall, thin, black-haired man, Brother Li, growled impatiently.

"Right away, right away." The chubby, punk-style guy Liu Daye reached inside his jacket as if to take out money, but secretly gave the blond-haired man a look.

The blond-haired man understood immediately and casually moved to the left of the tall, thin, black-haired man, forming a pincer movement with Liu Daye against the so-called Brother Li.

Liu Daye pulled out of his pocket, but instead of money, he pulled out a jet-black dagger. Liu Daye had completely abandoned his previous naive demeanor; his large, unusually large eyes were now filled with a chilling glint.

"Go to hell, Wang Li."

He lunged at Li Ge with a speed disproportionate to his weight, the dagger gleaming with a cold, dark light, aimed straight for Li Ge's throat.

Meanwhile, the moment Liu Daye pulled out his dagger, the blond-haired man unleashed a powerful palm strike at Li Ge.

Wang Li, a tall, thin man with black hair, never expected that Liu Daye, who had always been subservient to him, and Zhao An, a newcomer who had only recently joined Quanxing, would dare to lay a hand on him. However, the fact that he had been able to stay in Quanxing for so long and live such a comfortable life meant that he was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

Wang Li dodged Liu Daye's dagger and Zhao An's palm strike with a powerful, backward lean. He then used his strong legs to deliver a powerful upper kick, sending Liu Daye flying as he charged forward too far.

Wang Li took advantage of the moment and fell to the ground, his whole body moving like a lizard towards Zhao An. His hands gripped Zhao An's calves like eagle claws, and with a sudden pull, his ten fingers dug ten bloody holes in Zhao An's legs.
