Before entering the world of Bodhi Tree of Heavenly Qiang Jin, Jiede warned: "Sister, please be careful, please maintain clarity. The demonic qi is everywhere and it will erode your mind, change your thoughts, make you fall under its spell unknowingly, and then destroy the Dao path. It will be too late to regret."
He was very cautious, using the phrase "must" twice.
Deng Chanyu has been struggling with the heart demon thousands or even tens of thousands of times, and no one understands the heart demon better than her.
Now dealing with the initial version of this heart demon, she will not underestimate it lightly, but she still has some confidence.
"Brother, don't worry, I will be cautious."
Jiede originally didn't like to talk much, and even two sentences of advice were already a limit. He knew that Deng Chanyu's method of cultivating the mind was different from theirs. The specific strength is hard to say, but it is likely not weak, even if it is slightly weaker, he wouldn't just stand by and watch.
He nodded silently.
Both sat in front of the Primordial Jiajin Bodhi Tree, waiting for about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense. Chuandao opened a passage from within the Bodhi Tree, and the two walked in one after another.
The demonic qi has already infiltrated this world. When the two just entered this world, they were separated.
Deng Chanyu surveyed her surroundings. At her time point, the Primordial Jiajin Bodhi Tree had been refined into the Seven Treasures of Wisdom by Chuandao, becoming a treasure for enlightenment in saints. The Sacred Mountain was left with some lotus seeds that could increase wisdom. The Primordial Jiajin Bodhi Tree had become a legend in Buddhism.
Now, not only did she see the Primordial Jiajin Bodhi Tree, but she also entered its interior. The wisdom and spiritual light here were incredibly dense; just standing still for a moment gave her a wealth of insights into cultivation.
Unfortunately, she had barely experienced the blessings of the wisdom and spiritual light here when she saw a massive black cloud heading straight for her.
"Quite a strong taste."
In this era, bewitching the hearts of people is an extremely novel form of attack, and ninety-nine percent of the primordial beings do not cultivate their minds.
Simply consuming some precious treasures and drinking water can increase cultivation, while cultivating the heart can do what? It is invisible and indistinguishable, and it will not have a sudden and immediate improvement in one's cultivation. Moreover, there is no method or standard, and most beings do not cultivate their hearts. When the Heart Demon moves hand, it's like punching a child, and almost no one can escape.
Jiede belongs to the nine out of ten who do not cultivate their hearts, he is born with Bodhi heart and his cultivation in cultivating his mind is extremely high.
This version of the heart demon had increased power but limited tricks. It was him that the 1.0 version of the heart demon targeted first, unfortunately. But Jiede's mental state was as solid as a rock, and the heart demon exhausted all its methods but could not shake even the slightest bit.
It could only target another.
This one looks very weak! It encountered almost no resistance, easily entering Deng Chanyu's inner world.
The next moment, it abruptly and oddly retreated out.
What happened? It was a bit confused, only remembering that the light in front of it turned black, and all its memories were lost along with the destruction of that part of the heart demon.
Deng Chanyu looked at the consciousness in the black cloud with a smile that was not a smile. It felt challenged and rushed in again.
This time, when it retreated, it finally brought out some memories. The other side cleverly set up a mental labyrinth. Before it could even examine the structure of the labyrinth, four billion eight hundred million warriors popped out from every nook and corner, striking it with one punch each. It was killed alive.
It was killed by the Heart Demon? Can't you trap me with a mental labyrinth? Why do you have to fight? If you want to fight, what's the use of creating a maze?
The Heart Demon could not understand the logical connection within, as it seemed like a move from the chaos to anyone looking at it.
Deng Chanyu did indeed mimic some moves from the Chaos Gods. In her opinion, it didn't matter whether it was the chaotic era or the Hongwu era; as long as it was effective, that's all that matters.
When facing the erosion of chaos, she used the heart demon to resist; when facing heart demon erosion, she used chaos to resist.
In this instant, it was four billion eight hundred million warriors. In the next instant, it turned into a donkey that swallowed the majority of the Heart Demon's body in one gulp. And in the next instant, it became an indescribable great terror.
The scene was bizarre and surreal, with a mix of things that had no logic or order being displayed together.
The Heart Demon felt greatly shocked.
Jiede's mind was as solid as a rock, while Deng Chanyu's was excessively chaotic, even to the extent of using the Heart Demon to pollute Luo You's essence. The Heart Demon felt a bit wronged and at some point, he really wanted to report this to the Dao, saying that there was a mole from the Chaos Gods here!
The essence of magic is the same as the Dao, both pursuing purity. A corrupted and impure demon holds no threat at all.
The original demonic qi was the black cloud, but after touching Deng Chanyu's inner world, it became a murky gray cloud that looked very disordered. The demon had to cut off its tail and survive by discarding that part of its chaotic essence.
Deng Chanyu and Jiede joined forces, and there was nothing left to do intentionally. Their existence alone would help alleviate the pressure on the Primordial Jiajin Bodhi Tree. Demons are not endless, and as long as the Primordial Jiajin Bodhi Tree holds an upper hand, it is only a matter of time before they are expelled from Chuandao's body.
The place where the three discussed profound matters shifted from the outside to the interior of the Primordial Jiajin Bodhi Tree, with no other significant changes.
The heart demon's occasional harassment was ignored. Jiede wasn't afraid of this at all, Chuandao was the victim and had nowhere to run. Deng Chanyu could even pollute the heart demon. The heart demon couldn't think of any countermeasures for the time being.
Wisdom and spiritual light enveloped her, allowing her to enter a state of sudden enlightenment, referred to as the unity of man and heaven, at any moment.
Jiede had become accustomed to this state and responded indifferently.
This is the first time Deng Chanyu has enjoyed such a luxurious place of cultivation. At this moment, it is as if Chuandao is using his saintly foundation to help her cultivate. She did not get as impatient as before this time, but instead slowly adjusted her state. Once everything was in its best state, she sat alone under the tree and began her final breakthrough.
A hundred years had passed since Deng Chanyu sat under the tree.
Deng Chanyu's Great Array of Immortality has been cultivated to the ultimate degree, and there is no more room for growth.
The next step is to become a quasi-saint.
In fact, she had reached this state of perfection fifty years earlier. She spent a great deal of time on reflection and correction just to solidify her foundation.
The path to quasi-sainthood might still be adjusted, like Taibaijing who realized that the path of killing and warring was not suitable for him, so he abandoned that path.
At the stage of quasi-sainthood, it is no longer possible to change paths. Once you place your pieces, there is no turning back. There are only two outcomes from then on: to completely master the chosen path, or for the body and the path to perish together.
Zhao Gongming, after reaching the pinnacle of Great Array of Immortality, obtained the Quehen Scale and received enlightenment from Tongtian's teachings, spending a great deal of time and effort to find his own opportunity for enlightenment.
Deng Chanyu's preparations have been made well in advance, and now there is only one step left.
She needs to truly understand the essence of the Great Path of Space, climb the gigantic mountain that manifests as the essence of space, call out the name of the mountain, and only then can she be said to have truly grasped her opportunity for enlightenment, transitioning from immortal to saint.
