Chapter 45: The Aura Pillar

  The demon dragon moved forward in the magic cloud, feeling the insight brought by battle.

  Each time brings new experiences and new memories emerge in one's mind.

  A vast and mysterious mountain, emitting strange power fluctuations, only felt its strength when approaching. Trees actually appeared on the mountain, with a single bare tree trunk covering the entire mountain, like a fossilized piece of wood.

  Ji Tian felt the breath of the wood element, but this element was raging out of control, trees were born and destroyed at will, and when they were destroyed, a huge explosion occurred.

  This is the gathering place of the elements of heaven and earth, the brutal elements of heaven and earth. The elements of heaven and earth were originally the source factors that made up the spiritual power of heaven and earth, but these are the brutal factions within the elements of heaven and earth, which are very difficult to control.

  Jing Tian was astonished. How could there be such a place in the world? Was it a naturally formed Bagua formation? Every strange and wondrous place in the world must have its own unique object.

  Along the Great Mountain running towards other directions, there exists a kind of element. The gathering of these heavenly elements creates a terrifying destructive power.

  The wind element coalesces into a terrifying gust of power, each strand withering and decaying, continuously generating intense energy waves of whirlwinds that incessantly tear at the hard ground, forming ravines.

  Both of them felt the sharpness of this wind on their edges, and the magic dragon felt that if it let this wind blow on its body, its skeleton would be crispy and fragile, and it would shatter into powder with just a little bit of force.

  The element of thunder forms the power of thunder, purple divine thunder, descending in flashes of lightning, large tracts of land are pulverized into particles. The thunder rumbles, that one stock of destructive aura seems to penetrate the yuan god, making oneself destroyed. The demon dragon lies prostrate on the ground, without a hint of resistance.

  And then there's the water, rainwater appears out of thin air, falls to the ground and forms a lake, in an instant the water disappears and clouds are born.

  Jì Tiān carefully measured and pondered, thinking that the world's strange places must have their objects, but his own abilities were too weak, and he could only reach the periphery. This was actually a good place to refine his body, but he was a ghost without a physical form.

  The demon dragon also sighed repeatedly. If its own powerful body could rush through these brutal lands, the tempered body would be comparable to a congenital treasure.

  Ji Tian and the Demon Dragon lingered here, but didn't discover any rules. These elements were born and destroyed at random, containing immense power, so they reluctantly left.

  The demon dragon emitted a primordial aura, causing the undead creatures on the ground to tremble with fear.

  The demon dragon seemed to have regained its former pride and innate domineering aura.

  Jian Tian witnessed all these changes with his own eyes.

  Evil power, Ji Tian felt it, emitting a bloodthirsty aura and intense killing intent.

  Ji Tian was overjoyed and said: "Hurry up and head towards this place filled with murderous aura, I want to experience this killing intent."

  A column of air piercing the sky, with a swirling vortex above, rising killing intent, countless purple lightning flashes dancing, like dragons and snakes rushing, fine steeds galloping, but just as the thunderbolt flashed out, it was absorbed by the vortex column.

  Ji Tian furrowed his brow again, this world had countless strange objects, even the Sealing Land had so many, but he didn't have even a bit of ability to collect them. He was too weak, and yet there wasn't any spiritual energy in the Sealing Land that could help him rapidly increase his cultivation.

  This world is full of demonic energy, with the killing energy, yin energy and evil energy accumulated between heaven and earth, but one doesn't have a way to absorb and refine it.

  Is it really that there is no day for oneself to rise to prominence? The growth of this ghostly body is subject to all sorts of restrictions, and even the corresponding cultivation method does not exist.

  The black bone scripture was just a general theory, it was the residual memory of Pangu, sorted out by the residual soul, and at that time I was still secretly happy, now everything is clear, it was a spiritual cultivation method of the primordial chaos.

  The way is to condense the supreme Taoist fruit, but I haven't even reached the heavenly immortal realm myself, so how can I talk about cultivating that supreme great method.

  Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!

  It's hard, but I have to fight for myself too.

  A mighty force swept towards the demonic fog surrounding the column of evil energy, instantly clearing a large amount of dark energy. The column of evil energy spun wildly, as endless evil energy from all directions converged into it.

  Is something precious gathering among them?

  "Go ahead, I'll stay here and cultivate for a while. Try to find the Soul Stone."

  The dragon looked up at the sky and let out a long roar, then disappeared into the magical clouds.

  Quietly sitting beside the murderous aura pillar, he continuously extended his spiritual sense to explore and feel that killing intent.

  A fierce and powerful aura burst forth, emitting a strange and unusual energy.

  Killing energy is a power, it is the condensation of one's own killing intent and driven by this intent. The killing energy in the column of energy is a wandering force between heaven and earth, these forces have no roots or sources, although they can be gathered and utilized, but none are sharp enough, because there is no killing intent, which is a power from within oneself.

  Jian Tian shook his head, a negation of his previous thoughts.

  His killing intent was vague and constantly changing, unable to take shape.

  The intention to kill can be sensed by others, but ultimately it is not one's own power. One has been simulating others' killing intentions all along, merely having the appearance without substance.

  His own way of slaughter is also empty in name and devoid of meaning. He knows that he cannot kill for the sake of killing, but only for his own beliefs.

  This is deceiving oneself.

  Killing is just a way for me to survive, I take the path of killing, but I don't know what killing is, who to kill, or why to kill.

  The silence was extremely painful, the twisted pain tore at his primordial spirit. This was another of his heart demons, the greatest calamity of the ghostly body that cultivated the soul's method.

  Every insight is accompanied by a struggle with heart demons, that's the step-by-step hardship.

  Ji Tian's sea of consciousness was turbulent and rolling, with painful forces constantly tearing at his primordial spirit. The fluctuations in the sea of consciousness were completely beyond Ji Tian's control.

  A strange power gathered in his mind, gradually forming a knife that continuously slashed at the silent sea of his consciousness. With each slash, large amounts of seawater evaporated, and the Silent Heaven felt the pain diminishing.

  Ji Tian seems to have found a breakthrough, exerting himself to control the sword with all his might, each time striking down with maximum force, his eyes bewildered as he gazes at the black longsword constantly eroding his spiritual sea.

  Facing each slash's power, even the mountain body formed by fearful thoughts sank into the sea floor.

  Maybe then, with one's own understanding shattered, one can be at ease, no longer needing to think, ponder or suffer.

  At this time, a divine thought rose in the sea of consciousness, transformed into a huge bell, forming concentric sound waves that slowly awakened the soul of Ji Tian.

  There are those in the world who deceive and steal fame, they must be killed!

  There are those in the world who rely on their strength to bully the weak, they must be killed!

  There are swindlers who destroy their ancestors in the world, and they should be killed!

  There are those in the world who use the name of the Great Way to carry out unkind and unjust deeds; they should be put to death for the sake of upholding the Way.

  There are those in the world who use the name of the Great Way to commit heinous crimes that cannot be pardoned; they should be put to death for obstructing the Way.

  ……

  This is killing, not for survival, nor for the sake of killing, but to defend the way, the way of slaughter, and also to ensure the balance of heaven and earth, maintain the order of heaven and earth.

  The world's slaughter, mostly for oneself, for survival, a personal selfishness, destroys the foundation of countless lives. This way is too small to stand in the universe. Between heaven and earth, there should be a killing way, to carry out the will of heaven and earth, to kill and defend the way.

  A golden light rose from the sea of consciousness, supporting that black magic knife. A vast and powerful force surged forth from the sea of consciousness, stabilizing the constantly surging sea of consciousness, condensing into a magnificent golden palace. On the palace appeared strange patterns similar to the purple patterns he had seen on his primordial dan before. The palace emitted dazzling light, instantly drawing in that black longsword.

  That divine thought said to the Silent Heaven Way: "I have finally condensed the Temple of Faith with your faith, and controlled the Sword of Killing Intent. This sword will be your guardian, it will accompany you in constant growth, providing you with immense spiritual power. If your faith deviates and cannot suppress it, this killing sword will also destroy you. Whether it is auspicious or disastrous is unknown."

  "Thanks for the rebirth, I will never forget."

  "That divine thought said: 'We were originally one body. My will is merged into the Temple of Faith, as long as your faith does not perish, I will exist forever.'"

  Ji Tian gazed at the constantly rotating column of Tongtian Sha Qi, its chaotic killing intent within. Ji Tian's hands sank deep into it, continuously absorbing this power, as the killing intent was constantly refined and merged into the black long sword.

  A black long sword emits a faint misty light, wrapping up the surging killing intent, and the cold killing intent is constantly being refined, forming a kind of killing force.

  At this time, the Tongtian evil spirit pillar shook for a moment, and it seemed that something inside was being drawn out by itself.

  Jing Tian was suddenly shocked, a black shadow merged into his own sea of consciousness.

  That dark shadow floated in his cognitive sea, gradually condensing into a humanoid creature with horns on its forehead, six arms and a pair of wings. A monster like a human bat.

  The black long sword that was originally suppressed by the Golden Great Temple burst out from it, pierced straight into the seabed, forming a mountain in the shape of a sword. The group of dark shadows rested on top of it.

  At this time, a divine thought came from the great hall, "Don't worry, this long sword is just borrowed by it. It is the second god in your body."

  Jing Tian was perplexed, wondering how there was an extra strange guy inside his body, who was himself yet not himself.

  He somehow merged with the killing intent within himself and suddenly gained a strange connection with the column of evil energy, allowing him to fully merge into it.

  In the dense and eerie aura, a strange creature was actually being nurtured, which turned out to be that brow-born monster. Its soul had merged into his own cognitive sea, allowing him to sense that this monster hadn't died yet, but was still gestating, its existence intertwined with the dark shadow in his own cognitive sea, breathing and life energy synchronized.

  Ji Tian lightly swung his arm, and a powerful force nourished his primordial spirit, causing his every move to contain immense divine power. Haha, he had finally advanced again. Due to the power of slaughter, his cultivation had also increased significantly, reaching the peak of Refining Spirit Returning Void.

  Now he has reached the state of Earth Immortal, and with one more step, he can refine his body to enter the Tao, pursue the path of immortality, and become a top-notch immortal.
