Chapter 461: 282: Confrontation and Impact of Desire_2
A fist with a metallic luster filled the entire field of view.
At the last moment of his body’s destruction.
The last image in Li Wuji’s mind was Sun Yihe’s solemn expression when he informed him of the stone’s location.
“Trust me, Old Li.”
“And trust Chen Sheng.”
“If I can cultivate the Seven Demon Mental Method, so can Chen Sheng.”
It was because of Sun Yihe’s overflowing confidence and Chen Sheng’s persistence that Li Wuji allowed Chen Sheng to come into contact with this seemingly eerie stone.
But now.
Only one thought remained in the old man’s heart.
“Sun Yihe, you motherfucker, I believed in you.”
Boom!!!
A fierce wind swept through.
Li Wuji’s figure was like a cannonball, flying backwards.
In an instant,
He disappeared into the horizon, leaving no trace.
“Huu－”
As Li Wuji left,
Chen Sheng sighed deeply.
Boom!
The huge body fell onto the ground.
Even though he was only slapping Li Wuji,
Chen Sheng felt as if he had gone through a great war and looked utterly exhausted.
His eyebrows were knitted tightly together,
And his forehead was dripping with sweat.
That’s right.
Chen Sheng hadn’t lost reason as Li Wuji thought.
After all, he had 19 points of soul power.
Although he might be no match for the martial artists who had practiced for many years, like Li Wuji,
He wouldn’t be directly controlled by the voice in his mind as soon as he touched the eerie stone.
But this didn’t mean that Chen Sheng could easily handle it.
On the contrary,
The voice in his head was getting louder and louder,
And gradually, Chen Sheng’s sanity began to be eroded bit by bit.
This was why he had slapped Li Wuji away earlier.
At the moment, he was still able to control his strength.
If he restrained his power,
Even if he smacked Li Wuji away, the latter wouldn’t be injured too badly.
But if reason and desires continued to fight,
By then,
Even if Chen Sheng accidentally let out a hint of his power, it might be enough to turn the old man’s body to dust in an instant.
Now,
Chen Sheng’s breath was still heavy.
He didn’t even have the mind to control the force of his breathing anymore.
The fierce wind stirred up the ground’s gravel to form a vortex around Chen Sheng.
From a distance, one couldn’t see exactly what happened at the top of the mountain.
Sitting on the ground, Chen Sheng constantly suppressed the impulses that emerged within his heart.
The voices in his mind kept tempting him, urging Chen Sheng to behave according to the desires they represented.
But no matter how much these desires bombarded him, and how persuasively these voices tried to convince,
Chen Sheng remained unshaken, simply ignoring them.
Gradually,
As time passed,
His previously furrowed brow smoothed out,
And the corner of Chen Sheng’s mouth hooked into a smile.
His expression became more and more relaxed.
Of course,
It wasn’t because the voices in his mind had disappeared.
But rather, the voices…
became impatient.
“Decayed wood cannot be carved.”
“Decayed wood cannot be carved!!!”
“So-called adherence to the heart, is actually ignorant.”
“Never entered the world, how can you talk about leaving it.”
“Not touching the seven emotions and six desires, not accepting one’s own desires.”
“Is not cultivating the heart!”
“Fool!!!!”
At this moment, these voices, with their varying tones, were roaring angrily and repeatedly condemning Chen Sheng.
The sound was so loud that it gave him the illusion that his eardrums were vibrating.
The power of these voices seemed to have reached their peak,
And desire heightened, surging like a tidal wave, constantly crashing against Chen Sheng’s mind.
But he knew,
That this was their last struggle.
As long as he held on,
He would be able to obtain the Seven Demon Mental Method.
Just like this,
With time passing bit by bit,
The originally shaky sanity gradually strengthened.
They reached a stalemate.
Li Wuji, who had been slapped away by Chen Sheng earlier, had already returned to the foot of the mountain.
His body was covered in dust and debris, even more so with broken branches and leaves.
But the already necrotic body had only gotten a few more scratches.
These minor injuries were completely dismissible to Li Wuji.
Upon realizing that Chen Sheng held back,
Li Wuji’s worries were significantly lessened.
He believed in Chen Sheng.
If the latter truly thought he was at risk of losing control, he wouldn’t have deliberately restrained his strength and sent the old man flying.
The reason for doing so,
Was surely because Chen Sheng had confidence in dealing with the stone and was only concerned about involving Li Wuji.
Standing at the foot of the mountain,
The old man didn’t say anything,
He just stared at the top of the mountain,
His eyes filled with anticipation.
Finally,
An hour passed.
In Li Wuji’s perception.
The chaotic and malicious aura at the top of the mountain, instantly became calm in a single moment.
His face flashed a hint of joy.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Li Wuji rushed into the sky and landed on the mountain top.
The previously rampant fierce wind was gradually dissipating.
Chen Sheng sat cross-legged on the ground.
His palm spread out.
The Heritage Stone quietly lay in his palm.
But the light seemed to have weakened somewhat.
Chen Sheng’s aura has also completely recovered to its calm state.
“Succeeded?”
Li Wuji cautiously inquired.
It was not until Chen Sheng slowly nodded.
That his hanging heart slowly settled down.
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Being unable to help with anything made the old man feel a bit ashamed in his heart.
But Chen Sheng being safe and sound was the best outcome.
“Old Li.”
“Next, I have something I need to ask you for a favor.”
Chen Sheng opened his eyes.
The pupils had already returned to a pure white.
The present him.
Had already obtained the specific cultivation method of the Seven Demon Mental Method.
He finally knew how unreasonable and powerful this cultivation technique is.
Yet Chen Sheng was not in a hurry to cultivate it.
Since the effect of the Seven Demon Mental Method is too powerful, the spiritual power required to master it also rises with it.
His current spiritual power is far from enough.
He must rely on the power of the Martial Arts Association to quickly raise his spiritual power.
Five minutes later.
“Alright.”
“I agree.”
Facing Chen Sheng’s request, Li Wuji gladly agreed.
“However, my physical body has collapsed at the present, and I am unable to personally take care of everything for you.”
“But I will inform Old Sun, and you can look for him directly tomorrow.”
As he said this.
Seeing that Chen Sheng seemed to want to say something.
Li Wuji slightly smiled.
“Don’t worry.”
“Old Sun has gained that prestige, moreover, I will give prior notice.”
“Both the Martial Arts Association and the Holy Sect will be at your service.”
Hearing this.
Chen Sheng then nodded his head.
“Thank you.”
“No, I should be the one saying thank you.”
As he gazed at Chen Sheng.
Li Wuji’s eyes unconsciously carried respect.
The path of martial arts.
The one who achieves is ahead.
Now, he no longer regarded Chen Sheng as a junior with great potential.
Instead, he was a strong person who far surpassed his own strength.
“Thank you.”
“For being willing to step forward.”
Hearing these words.
Chen Sheng grinned.
“Just crushing trash.”
“A small matter.”
The moment the words fell away.
The hearty laughter echoed above the Yihe Gate.
Li Wuji burst into laughter.
It had been a long time since he had laughed so freely.
When the sky collapses, there is always someone taller to support it.
Li Wuji had always believed that he was that taller person.
He felt it was his duty to think about how to face the awakened Heavenly Person and try to preserve the human race as much as possible.
But he failed.
Fortunately, however-
Chen Sheng appeared.
The opponent was much taller than him.
Now, Li Wuji felt that the heavy burden that had weighed on his heart for decades was swept away.
He laughed for a long time.
Only then did Li Wuji’s face gradually recover.
The old man.
Deeply bowed to Chen Sheng.
“Thank you.”
He expressed his gratitude once again.
This time.
Chen Sheng didn’t respond.
Everything was beyond words.
Soon.
Accompanied by a stream of light across the skyline.
Li Wuji left Yihe Gate and headed for Kyoto.
After he left.
Chen Sheng finally had time to thoroughly examine the Seven Demon Mental Method in his mind.
This method.
Indeed, as Sun Yihe had said, it could cause the cultivator’s strength to soar dramatically.
But the cultivation process was equally dangerous.
A little carelessness could easily lead to disaster.
Perhaps this is also the reason why Sun Yihe had never explicitly disclosed the specific cultivation methods and effects of the Seven Demon Mental Method to others for so many years.
Because once a person with malicious intent and great strength obtains this secret skill and cultivates it.
For the current Martial Arts Association, it would be an apocalyptic catastrophe.
And the Seven Demon Mental Method had many applications.
One aspect that Chen Sheng valued the most was one of them.
It was divided into five levels.
Each time a breakthrough was made.
The body’s strength doubled directly.
