The Path of Evolution

At the end of the Savage Beast Mountain Range is a rugged hilly area.

Ximen Qingkong and his group of six finally walked out of the mountains and entered the hills.

None of the six people noticed that there was a pair of eyes watching them from the darkness.

The owner of those eyes is Yun Mengqi.

Seeing Master Long Qiang walking side by side with Ximen Qingkong, Yun Mengqi's eyes were a little strange, and she was surprised that the descendant of the Demon Emperor did not lie.

Then her mood became a little weird. In the past few days, she had been lurking at the end of the Savage Beast Mountains just to verify whether the white-haired birdman was telling nonsense.

She didn't understand why she did this. It seemed to be to prove that the descendant of the Demon Emperor was lying to her, and sometimes it seemed to be to prove that the descendant of the Demon Emperor was not lying to her.

She didn't even know which answer she wanted.

After bidding farewell to her girlhood, Yun Mengqi has not been so confused for many years.

The day the descendant of the Demon Emperor left, she asked herself in her heart: Why did she say that she was the only one who could kill him, and why did she give that demon a lot of cultivation resources in vain?

There was no answer, and she didn't even understand why she did what she did.

That kind of behavior is like a moment of willfulness in youth, which later turns into regret.

Many people make hasty decisions when they are young. Looking back afterwards, I don't know why I was so stupid at the time.

Interestingly, when you reach a so-called mature and stable age, you often miss those rash and frivolous years.

Yun Mengqi felt baffled. She seemed to have become younger and her mentality returned to that of a girl.

Although she felt itching with hatred when she thought of the white-haired birdman, wishing to cut him into pieces with her own hands, she couldn't help but think of him and that crazy and confusing night.

There was an even stranger thing that made Yun Mengqi think of the white-haired sword demon.

When she first learned Jing Shen's seventy-two postures in person, she was resistant to it, so she didn't understand the subtle process.

In recent days, in order to avenge her shame, she had been practicing hard and discovered a phenomenon that she found incredible.

The descendant of the Demon Emperor left something in her body...

This topic seems a bit dirty, please pay attention to its connotation.

The things left in Yun Mengqi's body had a magical effect.

It is a strange energy that contains the indescribable secret of earth.

Coincidentally, the earth's core source force happens to be an earth-based original force.

When this original power meets the secret of earth, a magical chemical reaction occurs.

Yun Mengqi clearly realized that in just a few days, her geocentric power had increased significantly.

This improvement has brought about a natural change.

Many years ago, her strength reached the peak of six stars. She stayed in seclusion for a period of time just to break through this hurdle, but unfortunately she failed to do so.

The recent surge in geocentric energy suddenly pierced the window paper.

Yun Mengqi knew that she was only half a step away from Qixing Zhenren. She was lurking in the heart of the Savage Beast Mountains, maybe to satisfy her curiosity, maybe to eliminate an obsession in her heart.

After watching Master Longqian silently for a long time, Yun Mengqi left quietly.

She'd found the answer, and it was time to find a safe place to break out.

…

…

"Haha, we're finally out. Let's rest early today and start our journey again early tomorrow morning."

Ximen Qingkong stood high on the hill and said with a smile.

His powerful enemy Shengshi Meiyan was slowed down by the descendants of the Demon Emperor, which was undoubtedly a good thing.

In this way, he is likely to be the first one to rush to the place where the treasure is hidden. The one who is near the water and the tower first gets the moon.

This time he did not tinker with the golden castle because the real Dragon Spear was present.

Ximen Qingkong knew that with his kind of surveillance method, he might be able to hide things from Jacky Niu, but he would definitely not be able to hide it from Master Long. There was no need to break up over such a trivial matter.

Everyone found a place to rest. Zhao Hao sat down in a small mountain col and said to Princess Xiang: "Xiang'er, do your best tonight and help me protect the law."

Princess Xiang understood, grasped the mysterious ribbon tightly, and became fully alert.

Zhao Hao crossed his legs and entered meditation, entering the world of Yuanshen.

The altar that once belonged to the four inner demons was empty.

The other four altars were still shrouded in a lifeless fog.

Only the fifth altar shone with light similar to Buddha's light, and a young man sat there quietly.

The young man looked no different from the sixteen-year-old Zhao Hao back then, except that he was a little less frivolous, more frank, and had a kind of pure kindness.

Staring at the shadow of this Buddhist inner demon, Zhao Hao Yuanshen, his eyes were very complicated.

Strictly speaking, Ah Le did not harm him, but helped him.

Zhao Hao felt somewhat psychologically burdened by dealing with this inner demon.

At the same time, he is not sure what he will become after swallowing the inner demon.

Surrendering the inner demon itself is a double-edged sword. You can gain part of the inner demon's power and merge with the inner demon's character. For example, after devouring Ren Wuji, Zhao Hao felt that he had become obviously cruel and ruthless. After merging with Xia Liuge, he would sometimes become inexplicably passionate, and even he himself didn't understand how he got aroused. After devouring Ai Kun, Xiao Zhao clearly felt the turbulence in his heart, and from time to time a desire for the opposite sex emerged.

The process of confronting his inner demons is also the process of Zhao Hao's own transformation.

Before devouring Aikun, he had never considered the art of dual cultivation and scorned it.

And after he ascended, he could now do tricks that he had never thought of before without any mercy.

Fortunately, he had mastered the avatar outside his body and transferred that strong desire to the white-haired birdman.

However, Zhao Hao knew in his heart that this was ultimately self-deception.

In the final analysis, it was because he had some idea that he let his clone take the blame.

Sometimes he wonders, does what he does follow his original intention, or does it violate his original intention?

This question is very deep and needs time to be verified.

Looking at the quiet Ah Le, Zhao Hao couldn't help but wonder what he would become if he merged with the Buddhist inner demon. Could he suddenly become a Buddhist monk?

A Le opened his eyes, as if he could see Zhao Hao's inner struggle. He smiled slightly and said very calmly: "Brother Zhao Hao, I'm sorry for causing trouble to you. I shouldn't exist in this world. It's the kindness in your heart that created it." Thank you for letting me see the variety of this world. I have already existed, and I will die without regrets. You don’t have to worry, just do it!"

This is not at all like the lines that the inner demon should say, but it makes Brother Zhao Hao even more troubled.

But procrastinating like this is never an option. Over time, it will turn into a bitter drama with no result.

Zhao Hao quickly cut through the mess and swallowed Ah Le without saying a word.

According to past experience, the inner demon at this time will turn into a ball of energy, which will either fight to the end with the body and soul, or be completely swallowed up. But this time, an unexplainable scene occurred. Ah Le did not turn into an energy body, but turned into a golden little person.

"Damn, you kid is cheating on me!"

Brother Zhao Hao was angry. He tried his best but failed to refine the golden man.

On the contrary, the golden light masterpiece of that pocket-sized villain has a tendency to assimilate all the essence and spirit of the body.
