Bamboo Mound

Chapter 110 Five Books of Inner Demons

When he returned to the outside world, it was already dawn. He had spent the entire night in that prefab house!

As soon as he stepped out of the room, Xie Jun, who was sitting cross-legged outside, noticed the commotion immediately.

He then stopped what he was doing, stood up, and greeted them.

"You're out? You've been here for quite a while now. How was it? Did you find a cultivation technique you like?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the thirteen martial arts techniques that had been floating behind Ning Chang flew out of the gate together.

Upon seeing this, Xie Jun was taken aback for a moment, but quickly returned to normal; he had seen this situation before.

"Thirteen parts..."

"What, is there a limit to the number?" Ning Chang asked. If he couldn't take this many at once, he would have to divide them into several portions.

"No, theoretically speaking, there are no restrictions on acquiring cultivation techniques at our level."

As he spoke, Xie Jun beckoned and pulled all the martial arts techniques behind Ning Chang closer.

"It's comprehensive, but... Demonic Swiftness and Blood Planting?" He looked up at Ning Chang with a strange expression.

These two are not safe and secure techniques; they require special attention.

If the inner demon runs rampant and is not controlled, it will create a very troublesome madman. If the negative effects of the blood plant spread, it will also be a troublesome matter. If you are not careful, it will lead to a huge chaos!

Ning Changye, naturally aware of the sensitive points of these two cultivation techniques, answered:

"I'm somewhat interested in inner demons, and I also want to study blood plants."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jun's expression became even more complicated, but he still nodded and changed the subject, asking:

"These thirteen cultivation techniques, do you want a handwritten copy or a hidden stone?"

“A stone for storing knowledge.” Ning Chang replied without hesitation.

"Oh? With your current cultivation level of the sixth stage of the Spirit Platform, you'll have to wait several months to use the Hidden Knowledge Stone."

Xie Jun asked, somewhat surprised.

"Well, I'm not in a hurry for these things right now, but... I'd like to ask Lao Xie... to help me activate the Hidden Consciousness Stone of 'Sense' first."

Ning Chang waved his hand. He was still not used to calling Xie Jun, whom he had never met, "Old Xie" so casually, but he couldn't think of any other suitable way to address him.

"Okay," Xie Jun nodded in agreement.

After saying this, he put away the thirteen books, and with a flick of his hand, he produced twelve jade pieces of different shapes, which he handed to Ning Chang.

Ning Chang put away the treasure stone, only to see Xie Jun draw out a white light from his fingertip again.

He nodded to indicate that he was ready, and immediately saw the white light rush into his brow.

The sensation of light and shadow from last night returned, and he closed his eyes again, intently receiving the information within the light and shadow.

"Meditation...is it that simple?"

The explanations in the light and shadow were complex and verbose, but Ning Chang easily grasped the only key point it described, as if he were capturing particles of spiritual energy.

Half a moment later, Ning Chang opened his eyes, took a long breath, nodded to Xie Jun, and then turned and walked towards the prefab house on the left.

The book "Senses" also contains a few words related to the advanced fetal mind state.

Breaking through the Fetal Heart Realm is the process of opening the spirit within the body's spiritual embryo; this spirit is the primordial spirit.

Furthermore, judging from the stages indicated above, Ning Chang's mental strength at this time has fully met or even exceeded the mental strength requirements for opening the divine realm!

He guessed that this was related to his way of using spiritual power, but in any case, that was a matter for later.

He walked a few steps to the door of the prefab house, and without stopping, pushed the door open and went inside.

But the next second, he withdrew.

The reason is simple: the space in this prefab house is comparable to that of the cultivation technique prefab house. Asking him to go in and find a book that records inner demons would be a complete waste of time and energy.

Xie Jun could naturally see Ning Chang's predicament. Given the size of the document room, without his guidance, very few people could easily find the target address.

"Ning Chang, just tell me what information you need, and I'll point you in the right direction."

Upon hearing this, Ning Chang didn't refuse and immediately said, "It's about inner demons."

"Just this one?"

"Ah."

Seeing Ning Chang nod, Xie Jun flipped his hand again, sending out a beam of light that darted into the prefab house on the left.

"Follow along."

Seeing that Lingguang was moving quite fast, Ning Chang didn't say anything more and immediately activated his footwork to follow.

But once inside the prefab house, he saw that the light was just standing still, only moving forward a short distance when he got closer.

"Haha..." Seeing this, he slowed down and followed the light as he traversed the forest of bookshelves.

Along the way, Lingguang led him through many twists and turns, and he kept looking at the contents of the bookshelves around him.

After seeing a book called "The Habitat of Mythical Beasts," he suddenly remembered that he had previously killed a turtle and a snake and put them in his spatial bag. This operation had reduced the frequency of opening the spatial bag, and he had forgotten about the two corpses.

So he placed a bamboo leaf here as a marker, so that he wouldn't forget about it after reading about the inner demons.

Not long after, after arriving at a corner, the light flashed briefly and then suddenly disappeared.

Standing where the light had dissipated, Ning Chang immediately recognized a square on a bookshelf that had been painted in a different color!

The collection includes very few books, only five in total, varying in thickness, but overall much thinner than the other books!

One book is an introduction to inner demons, another is about how to deal with them, and the other three seem to be examples of various manifestations of inner demons.

Seeing that there weren't many, he decided to read all five books at once.

"...Inner demons exist within everyone's consciousness; they are the opposite of personal consciousness..."

"...This is also a manifestation of willpower. When inner demons are agitated, the main consciousness gradually becomes blurred. If one cannot regain consciousness in time, one will be completely overtaken by the inner demons..."

"...Inner demons vary from person to person; they amplify the weakest aspects of a person's heart, create aspects that don't exist, and conceal the normal, subjective aspects..."

"At this point, a violent and bloodthirsty person will exhibit stable and harmonious behavior, while most people, who are naturally peaceful, or rather, the majority, will erupt in slaughter and destruction of everything around them..."

"The longer one is dominated by inner demons, the weaker one's primordial spirit and mental strength will become, while the inner demons will become stronger. If one gets rid of the inner demons at this time, then the inner demons will also be weakened, reducing their impact next time."

"It can reduce the impact... I wonder to what extent, and if I do it a few more times, I can ignore my inner demons..."

Ning closed the book, suddenly had a whimsical idea, but then sighed.

"Sigh... I was too naive. You can't fully understand the specific behavior of your inner demons just by looking at the description."

"Maybe the inner demon still has a mind of its own. It might pull its consciousness somewhere for a chat, then let me watch it wreak havoc... haha..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly shook his head and laughed out loud, his expression complicated.
