Chapter 5, Level 7 Chapter 40: Initial Formation of Divine Power
"Is it because I'm weak?" The devil Li Chong's obsession was twisted and blurred, and he was already unstable. He suddenly raised his head and stared at Xu Jingming, roaring, "I live cautiously in this world, not daring to offend anyone. Just because I'm weak? I deserve to die? I deserve to end up like this?"
"Just because I'm weak, my wife should be taken away, my children should be killed, and I should die unjustly in prison?" The devil Li Chong became more and more crazy, "I don't accept it, I don't accept it!"
When the minds of both sides collided, everything the devil had experienced and his obsession were integrated into Xu Jingming's consciousness, constantly impacting him, trying to shake Xu Jingming's spiritual cognition with his obsession.
"well."
Xu Jingming sighed, "I admit that you are pitiful, and I sympathize with you."
The twisted demon Li Chong stared at Xu Jingming.
"If it is a peaceful and prosperous era with strict laws, even if you are weak, you can get the protection of the law. If you encounter a bad person, you can use the law to deal with him." Xu Jingming said, "But what if there is no legal protection?"
"In times of chaos and disorder, people are willing to kill for a bite to eat. At that time, the weak will be eliminated."
"In ancient times, during the tribal era, humans and beasts competed for the right to survive! The tribe was so weak that it didn't even have the right to survive."
"So how you survive depends on what era you live in."
Xu Jingming looked at him. "Nowadays, with the devil at work, almost every young person will learn martial arts. Look at those who are 'beginners of martial arts'. Even if they encounter a devil, they can escape much faster than ordinary people. Those gangs dare to bully you, but how many dare to bully a martial arts master ?"
"Getting started with martial arts..." Demon head Li Chong whispered, "It's too difficult to get started."
When he was young, his father asked him to practice martial arts, but he was used to being lazy and could not bear the hardship.
"I've seen everything you've been through. When your father was alive, your family hired a lot of guards," Xu Jingming said. "But when it came to you, there were fewer and fewer guards at home."
"Is it easy to run a pharmacy? Is it easy to make money?" The devil Li Chong growled, "Where can we get so much money to support so many guards?"
"You are weak and an ordinary person. You don't have any powerful guards, and you don't even have enough guards." Xu Jingming said, "Do you really think that Mr. Wang would kill you because of your wife? There are many beautiful women in this world! Your wife is in her thirties and has two children. Would Mr. Wang really go to such great lengths to collude with the county magistrate for her? Mr. Wang is after your wealth!"
"Mr. Wang and the county magistrate both wanted your wealth, and they worked together to take advantage of you. As for taking your wife? That was just a reason for Mr. Wang to legally take your wealth." Xu Jingming looked at the devil Li Chong, "So I say, I sympathize with you. There is a saying that goes, your virtue is not worthy of your position! And you... are not strong enough to support such wealth, and you have suffered the backlash of wealth."
"For the family fortune?" The devil Li Chong's figure became more and more distorted, and he murmured, "Yes, my wife is already over 30 years old, the county magistrate squeezed out all my cash, and Master Wang took my family fortune."
"Dad said..."
At this moment, the devil Li Chong remembered what his father had told him before his death.
"Son, remember to go to Dongming Mountain outside the city and present five hundred taels of silver before the New Year every year. In the past few years, Daddy took you there. From now on, you have to go by yourself!"
"Dad, we pay money every year, but those officials and gangs still come to ask for bribes. It's useless."
"If you don't hand it over, there will be trouble! Don't disbelieve it."
"But my good friend Luo family didn't make any friends, and nothing happened to them, right?"
"You must hand it in, you must hand it in, remember it, cough cough cough..."
"Yes, yes, I remember."
On his father's side, Li Chong should naturally be the one at that time.
But after his father died, he took over the family business and paid the money in the first year. But he didn't feel any benefit after paying the money. He still encountered various extortion and blackmail difficulties.
So starting from the second year, I stopped paying.
Wouldn't it be better to put five hundred taels of silver in your own pocket every year? Li Chong found that his life had not changed much without paying the money, and he felt that his father was stupid and had been cheated.
"What exactly is Dongming Mountain used for?" The devil Li Chong stared at Xu Jingming.
"Dongming Mountain is a demon."
Xu Jingming looked at him, "There are many mountains in Cheng'an Prefecture, all called Dongming Mountain! They are all under the command of the most terrifying 'demon' in the entire Cheng'an Prefecture. If you pay the money obediently, you will be on the list of asylum! If you don't pay the money, you will be left to fend for yourself."
"Demon, protect us?" The devil Li Chong couldn't believe it.
"Ordinary people hardly know what Dongming Mountain is, but generations of experience have taught them that they have to pay the money obediently," Xu Jingming said. "This is the living environment of people in your hometown, Liu County, and you must follow this environment."
"You don't even understand the living environment. First, you don't pay the devil. Second, you are weak. Third, you haven't hired any powerful bodyguards. Fourth, you still have a lot of money. In such a world, do you think you will have a good ending?" Xu Jingming said.
“How ridiculous.”
The demon Li Chong was completely convinced and understood, laughing, "In this chaotic world, we actually have to pay the demons."
"It's ridiculous that people have to pay the devil."
The vague and distorted obsession completely dissipated and impacted Xu Jingming's mind and consciousness. This impact only made Xu Jingming's mind and consciousness more determined.
Mind and cognition are one aspect, and practice is another level.
Xu Jingming read humanities books and some tests in mysterious places, and he understood a lot of truths! However, these truths need to be practiced again and again before they can be thoroughly rooted in the heart.
To refine the devil in the mind is to let the devil's obsession integrate into your own consciousness, as if you were experiencing everything about the other party yourself.
Magical energy can form obsessions, so it naturally has a stronger impact.
Once the mental cognition of the demon-suppressor is impacted and flaws appear in his own mental cognition, then it will be a big problem.
After experiencing such shock and cleansing, Xu Jingming's heart became more resolute.
"Different environments have different rules of survival."
"This demon Li Chong violated the survival rules of the demon-suppressing world in every way, so he had a tragic ending." Xu Jingming said silently, "The demon-suppressing world, first, is for us demon-suppressing people to sharpen our souls. Second, it is also to force countless mortals with a dangerous living environment, so that 'demons' will appear among them. Third, it is also to force these countless mortals with obscured memories to practice martial arts. If they enter the martial arts, it means that they have one more star life!"
In the Demon-Slaying World, almost every eighth-level human in the universe has registered an account here.
The indigenous people here are naturally real humans who have their memories concealed and allowed to enter!
Every county town has a martial arts school! They have the opportunity to learn martial arts. And they use various methods to force them to learn martial arts.
When I can’t cultivate to become a demon-conqueror…
Learning martial arts is almost the only way out for the indigenous people.
"In the Demon-Subduing World, even if you die here, you will wake up in reality." Xu Jingming thought to himself, "In such a world, you will naturally be forced to practice."
"I hope this experience in the virtual world will give you some insights."
In reality, many people will get their heads broken and bleed.
But in the virtual world, the 'cost' of getting hurt is much lower, which is also the mercy of the Universal Human Alliance.
…
Early the next morning.
Xu Jingming was eating breakfast when he saw Wu Qi sweeping the floor.
"Seventh Uncle." Xu Jingming shouted.
Wu Qi immediately put down the broom and walked over: "Master, what's the matter?"
"There are people doing the odd jobs, so you can take more rest." Xu Jingming said.
"It's boring when I'm free." Wu Qi said with a smile.
Xu Jingming nodded: "Uncle Qi, you are fine. You can go out for a walk more often. If you find any news about the devil, come back and tell me."
"News about the devil?" Wu Qi was stunned.
"Since I have become a demon conqueror, I naturally have to refine more demons." Xu Jingming said. After refining the demon head 'Li Chong' once, Xu Jingming could feel his spiritual understanding, and he became more firm in some aspects.
The mind is like this, you need to practice your cognition again and again! Refining the devil is a way to practice deeply into the mind.
"I heard that dealing with the devil is also very dangerous." Wu Qi was a little worried.
"Don't worry, Uncle Seven. Just like what the caravan encountered last time, I took it down easily." Xu Jingming said.
Wu Qi nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll go out more often, and if I hear any news about the devil, I'll tell the young master immediately."
"Thank you, Uncle Seventh." Xu Jingming said.
"Of course, I'll go." Wu Qi set off immediately. He was a little beggar back then, and was saved by the then Miss Wu. Later, Miss Wu married into the Chen family, and he followed her to become a housekeeper.
In his life, the young lady is the person he is determined to protect with his life.
Now that the young lady is dead, Wu Qi naturally puts all his thoughts on the young master.
"The population of the city is millions, so the probability is much higher." Xu Jingming thought to himself, "But he is too powerful, I can't afford to offend him."
The more powerful and intelligent the demon is, the more he can control himself.
The Dongming Mountain faction is all over Cheng'an Prefecture, and they have even been collecting protection fees for a long time! Whether it is the official demon hunters, the demon hunters of the big families, the demon hunters of the sects...the demon hunters from all parties are unable to do anything to this demonic force.
Xu Jingming knew his own limitations, so he decided to keep a low profile before reaching the eighth level.
…
In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.
"Uncle Qi wanders around the city every day, goes to teahouses and other places where people gather, and has heard a lot of news about demons." Xu Jingming sat in the rockery pavilion in the back garden. "However, the official demon-slayer news network covers the entire city, and they usually arrive first! Some families' demon-slayers also rush there quickly, and the weaker demons are dealt with by these demon-slayers as soon as they appear."
Those seventh-level star creatures, when they descended to the demon-suppressing world, liked best to deal with some weak demons.
It is relatively safer to refine those weak demons.
After all, Xu Jingming has experienced the test of the mysterious place, such as the hundreds of life difficulties on the sixth planet, and can pass these tests. At the human-demon level, the probability that "obsession" can threaten Xu Jingming is extremely low.
Those ordinary demon hunters didn't have the courage of Xu Jingming. They avoided the strong demons, but they dealt with the weak demons as quickly as possible.
"I haven't found a single suitable demon yet."
"As for some of the famous people in Cheng'an Prefecture, they are at least at the level of Earth Demons, and I dare not touch them." Xu Jingming looked at the moon in the sky, then pinched a seal with his left hand and shouted softly, "Fall!"
I saw two bolts of lightning entangled and striking downwards. One was dazzling white, and the other was restrained and dark, and they combined perfectly with each other.
"Bang."
The sound was very low, and the hole in the ground was bottomless.
Xu Jingming watched.
"I have been studying the 'Yuanchu Star Hypothesis Light Ray Chapter' for more than three months, and my understanding has gradually increased. I have finally upgraded the 'Thunder Method' to the level of a magical power. It can barely be considered the entry level to magical powers, and it is also the first magical power I have mastered." Xu Jingming thought.
The magic spell 'Thunder Method', transformed into a magical power, is the Five Thunder Method recorded in the "Ten Thousand Stars Demon Refining Scroll" .
The magical power 'Five Thunder Method', to get started, requires the perfect combination of two different thunders! The power is several times greater than that of a single thunder.
To achieve minor success, one needs the coordination of three different kinds of thunder, and the power is several times greater than that of the entry-level level.
The ultimate achievement is the combination of five different thunders, which is dozens of times more powerful than when you first started. This Five Thunder Method requires a very vast knowledge of the "Light Rays" to practice. Xu Jingming is a peerless genius in the "Light Rays" lineage. After more than three months of inheritance, he barely got started with the magical power of the "Five Thunder Method", which shows how difficult it is.
"The two thunderbolts working together can increase their power several times." Xu Jingming thought , "My magical power has just begun to develop, but unfortunately, there is no demon suitable for me to practice with."
