445: Bodhi Dream

Heart Demons exist within everyone.

Mortals are no exception.

When a Mortal stands on a cliff and looks down, they might feel an urge to leap off.

Or, holding a sharp blade, they might feel an urge to cut themselves.

These are manifestations of Heart Demons.

Cultivators, through their practice, can achieve a clear mind and suppress their Heart Demons.

However, all things are subject to the interplay of Yin and Yang; while Heart Demons can usually be suppressed, they will proliferate once the state of mind experiences a drastic fluctuation.

Their manifestations vary, such as suicide, murder, or lewdness.

By mastering the Heart Demon Dao Fruit, one can control the Cultivator's Heart Demon to appear at any time.

Of course, against those with extremely firm wills, or those who practice Mind-Cultivation Techniques, the Heart Demon is difficult to make effective.

The wondrous uses of the Yin and Yang Dao Fruit go without saying; not only can it assist the Heavenly Mystery Dao, but it can also unleash the power of Supreme Yin and Supreme Yang for combat, producing miraculous effects at crucial moments.

As for the Slaughter Dao Fruit, as the number of people killed increases, it will transform into cultivation and feed back into oneself.

The more people killed, the faster the cultivation grows.

Hoo.

After organizing his thoughts, Gu Liangyuan exhaled a turbid breath and gazed into the distance:

"The Dao Fruits are ripe; the path to Golden Immortal is clear."

"All departments are operating normally. Next, it's time to prepare some surprises for the Eastern Immortal Emperor and the others."

Thinking this, Gu Liangyuan looked back at the enlightenment tea tree and the bodhi tree, not moving them.

Instead, he planned to have Li Daoyou transport more spiritual soil later to transform the area into a Lingzhi Garden.

After casually setting up a defensive grand formation, Gu Liangyuan prepared to turn and leave.

However, he suddenly sensed something and frowned slightly.

With a single step, he arrived in a valley.

Although the valley was enveloped by a grand formation, this grand formation was as if nothing to Gu Liangyuan.

Stepping into the valley, he saw Zai Xiyue and Bai Qing sitting cross-legged in meditation.

However, both of them wore expressions of pain.

Gu Liangyuan sensed carefully and instantly understood the plight of the two women.

These two women were unlike his other disciples; one had the destiny of the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Ghosts, and the other had the potential of a wealth immortal.

Their cultivation paths should be like Qianqiu's.

They could only proceed smoothly after establishing the Underworld and comprehending the Law of Wealth.

Now, their single-minded arduous cultivation was proving counterproductive.

Seeing this, Gu Liangyuan immediately flicked his sleeve, bringing the two women into his sleeve.

With a thought, he brought the two women under the bodhi tree.

Bathed in the rich Dao essence around them, the painful expressions on the two women's faces indeed diminished greatly.

However, at this moment, the two women were already caught in the obsession of improving their cultivation, and Heart Demons were subtly beginning to emerge.

For the first time, Gu Liangyuan felt that his attention to these two disciples had been too little.

Now, the two had reached the Body Integration realm, yet they hadn't even comprehended a Law.

Gu Liangyuan knew that this was all his fault.

Aside from Jiang Wubing's Exquisite Heart with Seven Apertures, how many people could be born with knowledge?

Without insight, how could one comprehend a Law?

Gu Liangyuan pondered for a moment, then immediately sat cross-legged in front of his two disciples.

With a thought, the will of heaven descended upon him.

After searching through the Heavenly Dao space, Gu Liangyuan then reached out and drew out two Origins.

These two items were precisely the Origin of Wealth and the Origin of Reincarnation.

However, although Gu Liangyuan controlled a portion of the Heavenly Dao's authority, he did not have the power to directly bestow Heavenly Dao Origins upon others.

All he could do was guide them.

Whether they could comprehend it, ultimately depended on themselves.

After some thought, Gu Liangyuan first held the Origin of Wealth, and with the Law of Illusion activated, he created a dream for Bai Qing.

Although Gu Liangyuan pulled Bai Qing into the dream, it was still Bai Qing's dream, and if Bai Qing's reaction was too intense, the dream would change with her mood.

All Gu Liangyuan could do was try to guide her.

Bai Qing was in the midst of cultivation when she suddenly felt her head heavy and gently drifted into a dream.

Looking around in a daze, she found herself back in Tong City.

She stood at the entrance of Yuanheng Pawnshop, with her little maidservant beside her.

The maidservant was holding a painting in her arms.

The person in the painting was none other than Gu Liangyuan.

Bai Qing's expression was somewhat dazed. "Wasn't I cultivating in the Void Tower? How did I suddenly end up here?"

"Could it be that everything that happened after I joined Forget-Love Peak was just an illusion?"

Bai Qing exerted her full magical power, only to find that her cultivation had disappeared, leaving her with only Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Bai Qing began to panic.

She hastily tried to cultivate according to the circulation route of the Supreme Forgetfulness Scripture.

But the result was that the Supreme Forgetfulness Scripture had no effect at all.

Just as Bai Qing was at a loss, a burly man kicked open the door of Yuanheng Pawnshop and blocked Bai Qing's path:

"I say, Bai Qing, it's time to pay back your father's debt, isn't it?"

Familiar scene, familiar words.

But Bai Qing's heart was even more confused.

"Bai Qing, I'm talking to you!"

Seeing Bai Qing remain silent, the burly man immediately roared.

"I don't have the patience to waste time with you. I think you've guessed my purpose for coming here. Marry our young Master, and this matter will be settled."

Again, familiar words.

Bai Qing didn't reply, but turned her head in a certain direction.

She remembered that at this time, Master should have come out with Senior Sister Song.

But she waited for a long time, and her Master never appeared.

How could this be…

Bai Qing was puzzled.

Looking at the clearly impatient burly man who was about to make a move, Bai Qing slapped her Storage Pouch, and her Flying Sword unsheathed.

After all, her Body Integration realm insights were still there. Although Bai Qing now only had Foundation Establishment strength, killing this Golden Core burly man was not difficult.

After killing the burly man, Bai Qing ignored the panic of the surrounding people.

Instead, she waited in place for her Master to appear.

But after waiting for an hour, her Master didn't appear; instead, the pursuers from the City Lord's Mansion arrived.

Bai Qing clenched the necklace on her chest, steeled her heart, and immediately led her maidservant out of Tong City, heading straight for an unnamed valley fifty li away.

She still remembered that her Master had met Junior Sister Zai Xiyue there.

But this time, she still found nothing.

Bai Qing was completely panicked.

Recalling the few moments she had spent with her Master, Bai Qing felt an emptiness in her heart, as if even living had lost its meaning.

No, although I don't know why things turned out this way, the Supreme Sacred Ground still exists, and Forget-Love Peak still exists.

I will definitely find Master!

With this thought, Bai Qing mounted her Flying Sword and, with her maidservant, hurried towards the Supreme Sacred Ground.

Gu Liangyuan sensed this scene, gently rubbing his forehead, which was throbbing faintly from frowning for too long.

Gu Liangyuan created this environment, thinking that without his appearance, Bai Qing would follow her original path.

While doing business, she would continuously improve her strength, kill her enemies, and step by step expand Yuanheng Pawnshop, comprehending the Law of Wealth, and even its Origin.

But he underestimated his position in Bai Qing's heart; she completely disregarded cultivation and any thoughts of avenging her father, focusing solely on finding him.

How long would it take to comprehend the Great Dao of Wealth like this?
