With the power of AI, you become a giant in the magic world!

Night gradually fell, and the sky was full of stars.

After dinner, Gu Xia did not rest, but spread a soft mat to practice.

He closed his eyes, his heart gradually became calm, and his consciousness was reflected in the spiritual space.

Then, he used his mind to promote the continued development of Xingxuan, allowing the star core to gradually absorb the surrounding mysterious power.

When the star core grows large enough to become a "planet", Gu Xia will be perfect in the realm of controlling objects.

At this time, the star core is still a small irregular mass, and it is still early to become a planet.

Gu Xia practiced silently for two hours, and the volume of the star core only increased a little.

"Alas! My self-cultivation is so slow. It would be great if I could have an epiphany every day."

After experiencing the epiphany during the day, Gu Xia was a little dissatisfied with his practice speed.

However, his practice speed at this moment is about four times faster than that in the realm of emptiness and illusion.

But the number of thoughts required for the great perfection of controlling objects is eight times that of the great perfection of emptiness and illusion.

So when he thought that he still needed about three years to reach the perfection of the realm of controlling objects, the greedy Gu Xia became a little anxious.

Of course, Gu Xia also knew that there was no shortcut to cultivation, unless that shortcut was extremely dangerous.

So he quickly calmed down and continued to cultivate.

…

An hour passed.

…

Another hour passed.

Gu Xia was still boring in the spirit platform, using his mind to put the mysterious power into the star core little by little to make it larger.

Suddenly, a warning box popped up from the star.

“Alarm! Alarm!”

…

There was no moon tonight. Although the stars were bright, the sky and the earth were still dark. For the strong men nearby, this was a very good working night.

“It’s been really unlucky recently. I haven’t seen anyone passing by for half a month. I haven’t eaten meat for a long time.”

“Wait, boss, look, there’s a fire over there!”

“Great, brothers, come with me to have a look. If we meet a fat sheep, we’ll go to Yihongyuan in the town to eat meat tomorrow!”

A group of black-clothed and masked strong men wandered on the forest path. They found something and walked towards a bright place in the distance.

After a cup of tea, the strong men arrived at their destination and looked.

A young man was sitting cross-legged under a tree by the roadside, seemingly resting his mind with his eyes closed, and a bonfire was burning next to him.

"Boss, what is he doing?"

"I don't know."

"He doesn't look like a rich man, boss, are you going to do it?"

"Stupid, that horse is worth dozens of taels of silver! Of course we have to do it! Quick, go! Don't let him run away!"

Several thieves, holding steel knives, walked quietly and surrounded him.

Soon they found that their worries were unnecessary. The young man had been closing his eyes and did not move at all.

Until they came in front of him, the young man still did not react.

"Boy! Robbery!" The thief boss shouted.

But the young man was sitting cross-legged on the ground motionless.

"Boss, it's not a dirty thing, right? I remember there is a mass grave nearby..." a bandit asked worriedly.

"Don't fart! He is alive and breathing!"

The thief boss put the knife on the young man's neck and threatened: "Boy! Don't play tricks on me! I have been robbing people for a long time and I don't respect ghosts and gods!

If you follow me obediently, I will let you live until your family pays the ransom. If you don't listen, I will cut you into eight pieces now!"

The young man still didn't move.

"If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished!"

The thief boss was a little angry and raised the knife to the young man's neck.

But unexpectedly, there was no mark on the young man's neck. Not only was there no wound, but there was no mark left.

"How could this be..." The thief boss looked at the steel knife in his hand in surprise.

The blade was still as cold and sharp as before, but why...

"Boss, are you scaring him?" The bandits who didn't know the truth thought that the boss did it on purpose.

"Shut up! MD, I'll chop you to death..."

The thief boss was about to raise the knife to chop again.

Crack!

Without any warning, his head suddenly exploded like a rotten watermelon falling from the building.

Plop!

The thief boss's headless body, still twitching and trembling, fell to the ground, blood gushing out.

"What's going on?"

"Boss!"

"Monster...monster!"

The thieves who witnessed all this were stunned and could not believe their eyes.

Then there was another click.

Another thief's head exploded out of thin air.

"Ah! Ahhhh..."

"Monster!"

The three thieves who were still alive were immediately scared and crawled, trying to escape, but it was too late.

The thief who ran the fastest suddenly fell to the ground, with severe pain coming from his lower body. When he looked again, he found that he was actually cut in half.

Although the other two were fine, they suddenly felt an invisible force grabbing their legs.

Both thieves were hung upside down out of thin air and could not escape.

"Spare my life! Great Immortal! Spare my life!"

The next breath, another thief became a headless corpse.

The last person left, he discovered that under the light of the campfire, a beast shadow was moving on the ground.

Then, the strange shadow swam to his shadow and opened its huge jaws.

Crack!

The campfire returned to peace again.

The accidental episode in the outside world did not disturb Gu Xia, but some problems appeared in his spiritual space.

Because when the shadow crocodile in the outside world killed the thief, a group of dark blue flames appeared around the small shadow crocodile in his spiritual space that was circling around Xingxuan.

There are exactly five flames, the same number as the number of thieves killed outside.

"...kill reward?"

Gu Xia touched the blue flames with his mind, and saw the blue flames fly towards Xingxuan, slowly merged into it, and the star core seemed to grow a little bigger.

"Is this soul power?"

Gu Xia made the remaining four flames merge into Xingxuan, and the star core instantly became significantly larger.

The number of thoughts he could control also increased from 16 to 17, which was equivalent to one and a half months of hard training.

"Could it be that the shadow crocodile has the ability to devour souls?"

Associating the shadow crocodile's domineering attack method, Gu Xia had a guess.

"God help me!"

Then Gu Xia was overjoyed. The blood demon technique plus the soul-devouring shadow crocodile, his Xuanwu and soul cultivation techniques formed a perfect system.

One refines the soul, and the other refines the body.

As long as there are enough "prey" for him to devour, the road to cultivation is smooth.

"But why didn't I harvest soul power when I killed those demon spiders before? Are their spirits too weak?"

Gu Xia didn't dwell on this question. After practicing for another hour, he happily came out of the spiritual space and returned to reality.

He opened his eyes, looked at the corpses of the thieves around him, and sneered: "Hmph! Disturbing my pure cultivators, die!"

"Hehe!"

"Brother Blood Demon, you are so fierce! Fortunately, I didn't disturb your practice, but you made me wait for a long time!"

A light laugh sounded.

Gu Xia immediately got goose bumps and was extremely horrified because the voice suddenly sounded from his ears.

He could even feel the breath of the man blowing in his ears when he spoke.

And Xingchen didn't scan anything abnormal, and he didn't find anyone walking behind him.

Gu Xia immediately burst out his internal strength and mysterious energy, and the whole person instantly moved a distance of seven or eight feet, looking behind him vigilantly.

I saw a slender girl who looked about 28 years old, but she was wearing revealing clothes and had a charming figure. She was holding a folding fan, barefoot, and had bells tied to her ankles with red ropes.

Beside her was a red chariot with a painting of a hundred birds paying homage to a phoenix.

But it was not a horse that pulled the chariot, but a translucent fox with a blue flame all over its body. It was more than a foot long including its head and tail.

The girl laughed: "Haha, Brother Blood Demon, you are really timid. Am I really that scary?"
