For cultivators, the path of dao is to be firm and not be moved by external things. This is called the dao heart!
Just like how the mortal wind penetrates the body and attacks the heart to turn into dao, reversing one's origin and soul, one becomes a human demon!
The moment Wang Lin's eyes became clear, there was a flash of shock in them. With his cultivation level and his determination towards dao, it was as if he had just experienced a calamity.
Reminiscing wasn't scary, what was scary was that his entire mind was immersed in it and he couldn't pull himself out. Normally, this wouldn't have happened to Wang Lin, but after he became a demon, even though he had suppressed and sealed the demon, there was still a demonic intent in his body. This demonic intent was the reason why Wang Lin was reminiscing!
Among the ancient cultivators, there was a saying that when cultivators communicate with the heavens and the earth and comprehend the heavens, some heavenly demons would appear and merge with the void without a trace.
From another perspective, it also meant that it was everywhere!
When heavenly demons enter a cultivator's body, they will ignite the dao fire in the cultivator's body to burn their origin soul, steal their life, and destroy their dao.
In the eyes of the cultivators of Shang Ji, heavenly demons were extremely terrifying. If they were a bit careless, they would lose control of their body and regret it for the rest of their life.
With the decline of the ancient cultivation world and the appearance of the Cultivation Alliance, the talk of heavenly demons gradually disappeared. What remained was a systematic analysis and logical deduction.
The Cultivation Alliance gave a negative answer as to whether or not heavenly demons really existed. The Cultivation Alliance believed that the demonic intent inside the body was born and didn't conform to the heavens. As a result, the inside and outside of the body were not in harmony. The Yin and Yang were not in harmony, and the dao heart was unstable.
This was what happened to Wang Lin earlier. When he felt the urge to return to Suzaku, the demonic intent inside his body reached its peak. If this continued, perhaps Wang Lin could slowly awaken on his own, but the time it would take could be long or short.
The appearance of the Demon Soldiers, especially the release of the Demonic Qi, allowed Wang Lin to find a way out in the face of adversity. When the Demonic Qi of the six Demon Soldiers rampaged in the restaurant, Wang Lin was shocked and his mind recovered for a moment. Although it was only a moment, it was enough for Wang Lin to do many things.
Without any hesitation, the demon crystal in his body released demonic spiritual energy that quickly moved through his body. It collided with the celestial spiritual energy and formed a vortex inside his body. This vortex was formed by the demonic spiritual energy fusing with the celestial spiritual energy.
In the Demon Spirit Land, for foreign cultivators, demonic spiritual energy was a substitute for celestial jades. Fusing it with celestial spiritual energy would increase their celestial spiritual energy.
Before, Wang Lin hadn't fused with the Demon Soldiers. He had been looking for an opportunity. Now that he had fused with them, the Demonic energy in the outside world was stimulated, and the Demonic energy from the six Demon Soldiers was completely devoured.
Although all of this sounds like a long time, it all happened in an instant.
Inside the restaurant, when Shi San saw that Wang Lin had returned to normal, he let out a breath of relief. In his heart, as long as Wang Lin was here, nothing would be a problem. He immediately arrived behind Wang Lin and coldly looked at the Demon Soldiers inside the restaurant.
Hu Pao's nervousness disappeared. He waved his right hand, put away the soul flag, and stood next to Wang Lin.
At this moment, the six Demon Soldiers that had lost their demonic spiritual energy were extremely weak. Their eyes were filled with disbelief, and their gazes toward Wang Lin were filled with fear.
"Who are you?" The man with a gloomy face stood up and asked in a deep voice.
Wang Lin picked up the unopened wine jar on the table. He didn't even look at the man and walked out of the restaurant.
Shi San took out some Demon Stones and placed them on the table, before following Wang Lin out of the restaurant.
As for Hu Pao, he looked at the Demon Soldiers inside the restaurant and let out a cold laugh before following behind Wang Lin.
The gloomy man slammed the table and shouted, "Stop!"
With that, he took a step forward and a powerful demonic force burst out, causing the entire restaurant to be filled with a demonic aura.
The demonic aura seemed to have a physical form, and immediately turned into sharp swords that flew toward Wang Lin's group of three.
Wang Lin turned around with a cold look in his eyes. He waved his right hand, causing a strange wind to appear out of nowhere. The swords formed by the demonic aura instantly dissipated.
"We will meet again." Wang Lin left those words and walked out of the restaurant.
The gloomy man's eyes narrowed as he looked at Wang Lin's back and began to ponder.
After walking out of the restaurant, Wang Lin didn't go anywhere else. He quickly returned to his room and sat down in the lotus position. He circulated his celestial spiritual energy to search his body bit by bit.
The scene of him entering Bedevilment in the restaurant had given him a sense of crisis. He had previously underestimated the side effects of Bedevilment, but now that he had calmed his Qi and focused his mind, he began to carefully search his body. Soon, he discovered faint traces of Devilish will in many parts of his body.
Every time he found a trace of demonic intent, Wang Lin would immediately expel it. It wasn't until two days later that he let out a sigh of relief after circulating his celestial spiritual energy a few times and finding no trace of demonic intent.
At this moment, there were three black balls floating in front of him. These three balls were the demonic intent that he had expelled from his body.
"It would be a pity to abandon this devilish intent, but if I use it well, it can destroy my dao and catch me off guard!" Wang Lin's eyes lit up as his right hand reached out and put the three small balls into his bag of holding.
"The seven days are almost up. The demon general said that someone would take me to the barracks …" As Wang Lin pondered, his expression changed and he looked toward the door.
Not long after, Shi San's voice came from outside.
"Ancestor, someone wants to see you!"
Wang Lin's expression was calm as he calmly said, "Come in!"
As soon as he said that, the door was pushed open. Thirteen and Hu Pao brought a person into the room. This person looked to be in his forties and was dressed in black. His face was thin, and as soon as he entered the room, a cold aura filled the air.
The moment he entered the room, his gaze fell on Wang Lin, who was sitting on the bed. After looking at him for a bit, he clasped his hands and said, "Greetings, Commander Wang!
I'm the demon general's steward. I'm here to bring the commander to the barracks under the demon general's orders!
However, before that, please show me your token, Commander Wang! "
Wang Lin touched his bag of holding and a bronze token appeared in his hand. He threw it forward.
The steward caught the token and looked at it carefully. He nodded and returned the token. Then he bit the tip of his finger and drew in the air. A blood-colored formation instantly appeared before him. This formation was extremely complicated, but in Wang Lin's eyes, he could see some patterns.
"Teleportation formation!" Wang Lin took back the token and said softly.
The steward looked up at Wang Lin and said, "Commander Wang's knowledge is extraordinary.
This is indeed a teleportation formation, but it's different from the formations you cultivators use. This formation was created by the demon emperor himself, and it's used for teleportation. "
After he finished speaking, he took a step forward and disappeared into the blood-colored formation.
At this moment, only Wang Lin's group of three was left in the room. Shi San's eyes were filled with determination as he entered the formation first. He had given himself the responsibility to protect the ancestor with his life. This formation was strange, so he would risk it himself.
Seeing Shi San's action, Wang Lin secretly nodded. He stood up and walked into the formation.
Hu Pao muttered a few words in his heart as he followed behind Wang Lin.
The moment Wang Lin stepped out from the other side of the formation, an earth-shattering roar came from all directions like a thunderous roar.
Shi San, who walked out first, revealed a hint of shock in his eyes. He immediately took a few steps back and his face turned pale.
He was already injured, and now he was even more shocked by the scene before him. The blood in his body surged and he coughed out a mouthful of blood.
As for Hu Pao, he hadn't been injured before, but his body wasn't as sturdy as Thirteen's. Under the impact of the sound wave, his ears rumbled and the demonic spiritual energy in his body scattered like crazy in his meridians.
His face was pale. If it wasn't for the fact that the ancestor was beside him and he didn't want to embarrass the ancestor, he would have already sat down to adjust his demonic spiritual energy. However, the more he endured, the more intense the demonic spiritual energy in his body became.
Just at this moment, a gentle force came from the outside. Almost instantly, the demonic spiritual energy in Hu Pao's body became obedient as if it had met its ancestor. It quickly gathered in his meridians and returned to normal.
Wang Lin raised his right hand from Hu Pao's shoulder and took a step forward. A surge of celestial spiritual energy entered Shi San's body and circulated through his flesh and blood. Shi San's body immediately lightened and his injuries recovered.
After doing all of this, Wang Lin looked around. This was a camp made of black stone and was about 50 meters wide. Outside the camp was a giant city wall that was dozens of feet tall. There were fluctuations of demonic spiritual energy on the city wall; it was obvious there was a spell added to it.
The place where Wang Lin appeared was at the center of the camp. 1,000 feet away from him, there were demon soldiers wearing black armor standing straight. They were surrounded by black gas like they were demon gods!
These demon soldiers formed a square, and at this moment, there were 10 square squads that surrounded Wang Lin. A powerful killing intent spread out like crazy.
The killing intent of 10,000 people was not something a normal person could imagine. Almost all of these 10,000 people had demonic spiritual energy that was no weaker than 30 ranks of demonic spiritual energy. Some of them even had more than 100 ranks of demonic spiritual energy.
In addition, these 10,000 people had been on the battlefield for a long time. Every one of them had killed countless people. Their killing intent had accumulated over the years and had almost fused into their bones.
Under this killing intent, the surroundings were completely silent. This kind of silence was extremely terrifying!
10,000 pairs of eyes were all staring at one person. Their gazes were the focus of all their killing intent. These 10,000 gazes were no weaker than 10,000 flying swords.
Wang Lin stood at the center with a calm expression. There was nothing abnormal about him!
The only thing that responded to these 10,000 gazes was his cold gaze.
