After seeing through this illusion, Xue Xin had already defeated his inner demon and his consciousness returned to his body. Xue Xin didn't even have the time to observe his surroundings before he was frightened by his own body. At this time, Xue Xin's body no longer felt weak, but instead appeared tall and burly, but it had already expanded to the limit. In fact, after he had mastered the Tendon Changing and Bone Forging section, his entire body's tendons and bones had become incomparably tough. When he pushed his physical martial arts to the limit, his body would swell up like this. However, the current situation was that his internal strength was circulating too quickly. When he was confused by the inner demon illusion, he had already lost the suppression of his internal strength. Not long after, the speed of his internal strength circulation had already exceeded the limit of his meridians and was about to explode and die. However, at this moment, his subconscious mind, which was much stronger than ordinary people, helped him once again. After sensing the danger, his subconscious mind spontaneously accelerated the blood flow in his body, making his body expand. In this state, his meridians and body were more than ten times stronger than usual. However, if Xue Xin's consciousness did not return and find a solution to the problem, he would not be able to escape the fate of exploding.
The current situation was even more critical than when the inner demon attacked, but Xue Xin's state of mind was completely different from before. After defeating the inner demon, Xue Xin's state of mind cultivation had advanced by a big step. Even in such a critical situation, he could still maintain a clear mind and calm. Suddenly, an incantation slowly flowed from the bottom of his heart. Xue Xin immediately recognized that this was the incantation recorded behind the Nine Yin Scripture's Soul Shifting Technique. These chants did not make any sense. They were like poems but not poems. It was just that they were very smooth to read. In the past, Xue Xin had studied them for a long time without any results. Now that he thought of these chants, Xue Xin suddenly understood as if he had been enlightened. It turned out that these chants were specially used in his current situation.
It turned out that when practicing high-tier internal energy, it was inevitable that internal energy would go astray or go out of control. At this time, if most people did not have external help, the final result would inevitably be Qi deviation. However, Huang Chang was all alone back then. When he created the Nine Yin Manual, he often had situations where his internal energy was out of control. Later on, he analyzed the reason for this danger. All these cases of Qi deviation basically had a process of struggle, but in the end, they were all defeated because of insufficient spiritual power. Therefore, he wondered if he could find a way to stimulate people's spiritual power in a short period of time. After carefully studying the Soul Transference Technique and studying religion, Huang Shang finally got these poetry-like chants. In today's words, this was actually a method of self-hypnosis.
After the sudden epiphany, Xue Xin didn't hesitate and immediately began to recite these smooth chants wholeheartedly. Slowly, he felt his mind become more and more focused. A cool aura gushed out from between his eyebrows and fused into his spiritual power. His spiritual power immediately increased greatly, and his internal strength could also be controlled to a certain extent. The internal strength that was gradually suppressed slowed down bit by bit. After an unknown amount of time, the circulation speed of the internal strength had already returned to its usual self circulation speed. Xue Xin slowly withdrew his spiritual power, and his internal strength no longer showed any abnormalities. The crisis this time was over. Xue Xin had just heaved a sigh of relief when he felt his vision go black and he fainted.
When Xue Xin woke up, he found that he was already lying on his bed at home. Just like when he first transmigrated, his mother was sitting in front of the bed and watching over him. Xue Xin saw his mother's tired face and red eyes. His nose felt sour and tears flowed down. Seeing that her son had woken up, Mrs. Xue felt nervous again. She quickly asked,"What's wrong, Ah Xin? Are you feeling unwell? Is your chest still hurting?" As he spoke, he was about to stand up, but he immediately staggered. Xue Xin quickly reached out to support his mother, but his tears flowed even faster. Seeing that there was no pain on his face, Mrs. Xue seemed to have understood something. She hugged Xue Xin tightly and couldn't help but cry…
After his parents left, Xue Xin slowly sorted out the various clues of this crisis. Actually, this Qi deviation was not necessarily a bad thing for Xue Xin. He was a person from the later generations and was very familiar with this world. Although this allowed him to use many opportunities to seek benefits for himself, it was also a huge burden. He also suffered from the common problem of all transmigrators: He was extremely insecure, and he knew that the world would be in chaos soon. At that time, in a chaotic world where human lives were worse than dogs, he would have to rely on his own strength to protect himself and his family. Therefore, under the pressure of a huge sense of crisis, ever since Xue Xin transmigrated, he had been desperately pursuing powerful strength. Not only did he not relax his martial arts for a day, but he also often racked his brains to think of ways to instill many things he had learned in his previous life to the people around him in order to increase the strength of the entire family. However, he didn't realize that he only cared about pursuing power, but he neglected the cultivation of his mental state.
Xue Xin had always thought that since the ultimate purpose of learning martial arts was to make himself have a strong killing power, so as to deter others in order to protect himself, the more powerful the martial arts, the better. As for those martial arts that did not have much killing power, he should wait until he had practiced these powerful martial arts well. Therefore, among all the offensive martial arts recorded in the Nine Yin Manual, he had spent the most time on the Nine Yin Divine Claw and the Heart-urging Palm. He had only spent a little time on the Acupoint Pressing Chapter and the Soul Shifting Technique.
In fact, Xue Xin had unknowingly embarked on the same path as Jiu Mozhi in Demigods. In fact, Xue Xin had also thought about this problem. However, in his previous life, Xue Xin had seen many readers analyze the sweeping monk's wise words about martial arts and Buddhism from the perspective of internal energy. He believed that every martial art would correspond to a unique internal energy, and the internal energy cultivated by every unique art was difficult to integrate with others. Therefore, Jiu Mozhi's Qi deviation was caused by the conflict of internal energy. Xue Xin had been deeply influenced by this point of view in his previous life, so much so that when he thought of Jiu Mozhi, he didn't delve into it.
In fact, this argument about internal energy conflict was not completely unreasonable, but it was only said to ordinary people. For example, Shaolin's unique skill, the Wood Burning Saber Technique, required the user to emit a scorching saber aura with their hands. After continuously chopping at the firewood, the user would not damage the firewood at all. The firewood would be ignited by the heat of the saber aura alone. Then the internal energy produced when practicing the Wood Burning Saber Technique must be extremely yang. If the internal energy had an attribute, then the internal energy produced by practicing the Wood Burning Saber Technique could be said to be of the fire attribute. If someone specialized in the Wood Burning Saber Technique, then the internal energy stored in his dantian would definitely be of the fire attribute. This person would no longer be able to cultivate ice-attribute martial arts like the Dark Mysterious Divine Palm. However, the people who practiced the Minor Non-Phase Method were different. Those who practiced the Minor Non-Phase Method could use most of the martial arts, but they could only draw lessons from the magical methods of these martial arts. What pushed these martial arts to make them exert their power was the internal force of the Minor Non-Phase Method. Since it could simulate the vast majority of martial arts, then naturally there was a way to make the person who practiced the Minor Non-Phase Method not be troubled by internal energy conflicts. Then, the theory that Jiu Mozhi's qigong deviation originated from the conflict of internal energy was not so reliable. If Xue Xin had thought about it when he thought of Jiu Mozhi, he would have come to this conclusion.
Then what was the reason behind Jiu Mozhi and Xue Xin's qigong deviation? In fact, the sweeping monk had made it very clear that Xue Xin's initial thoughts were not wrong. The ultimate use of martial arts was indeed to hurt people and protect themselves. Therefore, as long as it was a martial art used to kill enemies, regardless of whether it was righteous or evil, it would cause harm to the cultivator when it was cultivated. However, the human body had the ability to heal itself. Moreover, people with deep internal energy had a stronger ability to regulate their body functions and repair injuries. Therefore, the injuries suffered during the cultivation of ordinary martial arts would recover on their own. This was also the reason why some secret arts required a high level of internal energy cultivation to cultivate.
Originally, Xue Xin had already practiced the Quanzhen Sect's foundation internal skill to the great success when he was practicing the Minor Non-Phase Method.(This foundation internal skill was purely used to strengthen the body. However, at the beginning, Xue Xin's internal strength circulation speed was just a little faster when he was practicing, and he almost had an accident. This also shows that practicing advanced martial arts is definitely not as simple as treating people to a meal.) Moreover, he had also diligently practiced the "Bone and Muscle Changing Chapter" in these years, so the hidden injuries on his body did not fall. However, the sweeping monk also said,"Each of the seventy-two unique skills of our temple can hurt people's vital parts and take their lives. They are fierce and ruthless, and they can interfere with the heavens. Therefore, each unique skill must be resolved by the corresponding Buddhist Dharma of compassion. Not everyone in the monastery knew this. It was just that after a person practiced four or five ultimate skills, their comprehension of Zen would naturally be hindered. "In my Shaolin Sect, it's called the 'martial arts block'. It's the same principle as the' knowledge block'. One should know that Buddhism was about saving the world, while martial arts was about killing. The two were completely opposite. The higher the level of Buddhism, the more compassionate one's thoughts were, and the higher one's martial arts skills could be. However, an eminent monk who had reached such a realm would not bother to learn all kinds of powerful killing methods.”Jiu Mozhi had thought that he was bluffing, but in the end, he still ended up suffering from Qi deviation.
If we use our current psychology to explain this passage, it would make a lot of sense: Anything that could be considered an ultimate technique would naturally have great destructive power. The hands that attacked would all go towards the vital points of the human body. Practicing these martial arts was naturally to familiarize yourself with the changes of the moves until you could naturally use them when facing an enemy. Otherwise, who would give you time to think when you were fighting a life and death battle? If that was the case, then even when we were practicing, we could not help but imagine that there was an enemy in front of us who was exchanging moves with us. Yes, if the enemy used Black Tiger Steals Heart to hit my chest, then his right flank would naturally be exposed. But which move should I use to injure the enemy and win? If he changed his move, how should I deal with it? Just like that, every time he practiced, he would always think about killing his enemies, but these negative emotions would accumulate. After a long time, it would naturally affect his character, making him violent and bloodthirsty. This was what the sweeping monk said," encountering obstacles in the comprehension of Zen." Moreover, when these negative emotions accumulated to a limit, it was very likely that they would explode. When cultivating high-tier internal energy, various illusions would often occur. At this time, it was very likely that these negative emotions would be triggered and form a heart demon. This was still considered good. Although it would be easy to cripple one's martial arts or even lose one's life if one was taken advantage of by the inner demon, if one was controlled by the inner demon formed by these negative emotions at other times, it was very likely to cause greater harm to the people around them. That would be the legendary fall into the demonic path.
Xue Xin slowly recalled his various performances before and after he went berserk, but the more he thought about it, the more glad he felt. Although he had walked back and forth to the gates of hell several times, he had still survived. Moreover, when he was controlled by his inner demon, he had still maintained his last trace of clarity and did not hurt his mother. From his parents 'narration, he learned that when Mother Xue received the report from the servants that Xue Xin's condition was not right, she rushed over alone. However, from afar, she saw Xue Xin holding a sword in his hand and was about to stab her chest. She quickly flew forward and grabbed his hand. Xue Xin's consciousness was blurry, and he was caught off guard when she snatched the sword from his hand. This was the scene in the illusion where Xue Xin saw his mother stabbing him with a sword. Then, the servants and Mother Xue saw Xue Xin stare at Mother Xue with red eyes for a long time before gently pushing her out and raising his hand to commit suicide. Then came Mother Xue's scream and Xue Xin's victory over his inner demons.
Xue Xin was glad that he hadn't done anything that he regretted. In fact, this was the key to defeating his inner demons. Xue Xin did not attack his mother when his killing intent was at its peak. Instead, he chose to end his own life. It could be said that this was the time when the kindness in his heart was at its peak. That was why he was able to hear his mother's call at the last moment and wake up. If he had made a move earlier, the killing intent in his heart would have been stimulated even more. At that time, he would have really lost his humanity and become a walking corpse that only knew how to kill.
