Chapter 1197 - 1297: The Deceased

Ye Tianfan felt a sense of ominous foreboding in his heart.

After all, this bright light ahead, although he didn't know if it was the second senior brother of that person, since the person had claimed it was his second senior brother, then it was very likely to be true, as some conditions matched the image of the second senior brother described by that person.

If that were the case, Ye Tianfan thought that perhaps not only that person's second senior brother but also his third senior brother or fourth senior brother could be here.

Moreover, those who sacrificed themselves outside the wall earlier were very likely to appear here, considering the second senior brother of that person had shown up; it was improbable others wouldn't appear. Most importantly, Ye Tianfan could clearly sense that the light emitted was not simply light but filled with negative energies like Demonic Qi and Evil Qi.

Ye Tianfan could even vaguely feel that the spiritual power within his body was starting to become somewhat restless, and it felt more like a kind of fear, as if it were terrified of something.

Ye Tianfan believed that the spiritual power within him must be fearing the light ahead, filled with Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, and other negative energies.

This made Ye Tianfan feel a bit incredulous. If judging by the fear of the spiritual power within Ye Tianfan, the negative energies emitted from this light—Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, etc.—could penetrate the Array and reach the spiritual power source within them.

Although those penetrating negative energies—like Demonic Qi and Evil Qi—were extremely weak, Ye Tianfan and others' spiritual power within were enough to eliminate those negative energies.

However, small things accumulate, Ye Tianfan thought that if this continued exposure never stopped, sooner or later, the spiritual power within them would be assimilated by those negative energies like Demonic Qi and Evil Qi.

After all, it wasn't impossible, and the likelihood was high, because at this moment, the spiritual power within Ye Tianfan and them was already beginning to agitate somewhat, and once this spiritual power became agitated, those negative energies like Demonic Qi and Evil Qi could seize the opportunity to invade.

Once they were invaded by those negative energies like Demonic Qi and Evil Qi, someone might take the chance to become an outside being.

And once someone turned into an outside being, the consequences needn't be elaborated; it would certainly cause massive casualties.

Since those who could enter this elite squad were essentially elites amongst elites, if anyone in the team got infected by those negative energies like Demonic Qi and Evil Qi, even the Tai Chu True Person couldn't guarantee total eradication.

Of course, Tai Chu True Person refers to people of the same level, like Ye Tianfan. Tai Chu True Person believed that even if their power increased tenfold and then became outside beings, there would still be no change; Tai Chu True Person could obliterate them.

This is the authority of a king; the difference between the Shi Fang Realm and the Thousand Source Realm is significantly vast, as vast as between a small river and an ocean, and this metaphor may even be inadequate.

The Thousand Source Realm is akin to a bowl of water, while people of the Shi Fang Realm are like an ocean, with an immense gap in between.

And if one merely calculates the difference in spiritual power, the gap might be manageable, but if combat power is factored in, the difference is like a bowl of water compared to an ocean.

After all, every ascension in realm causes combat power to multiply exponentially, and not only does combat power increase, but life force does too.

Life Force is also lifespan; the stronger the power, the longer the lifespan, and it is due to this reason that many aspire to power.

After all, the stronger the power, the more one feels like dominating the world, a sense of unrivaled supremacy.

Generally, as long as one's state of mind keeps up, this feeling of unrivaled supremacy won't occur, because when it does, it's because the state of mind hasn't kept up.

When one's state of mind has failed to keep up and this happens, they won't be far from swelling with arrogance and turning bad.

Once the heart swells with arrogance, this leads to the most direct consequence: corruption, believing themselves to be the mightiest in the world while looking down on everyone else. When anyone does not satisfy their conditions, the arrogant person might simply kill them.

Gradually, they become hunted by the righteous path of the world, eventually turning into a rampant demon.

Of course, this is only the initial manifestation of someone whose state of mind falls short because insufficient state of mind can directly lead to internal turmoil.

Once caught in internal turmoil, the power becomes more profound, and if at this time the state of mind can improve, there's still a chance of recovery; but when the state of mind itself is inadequate, and internal turmoil causes an additional surge in power, how could the state of mind possibly keep up?

Thus it results in those trapped in internal turmoil not being able to recover at all, unless external forces are borrowed temporarily to seal their power, and combined with some material pills, barely rescuing someone caught in internal turmoil.

As for why practically no one does this, it's because the material resources needed for pills are too precious. Just these resources alone are sufficient to create someone with power far superior to the current level.

It's equivalent to, you rescuing a level 20 person, but what you use could create a level 30 person, and you still might not even succeed in rescuing that level 20 person. Hence, practically no one does this, not only because the cost is high, but the chances are also very low.

Thus, those already caught in internal turmoil have no way to be rescued, though there are attempts to rescue but before gathering all the material resources, the person caught in internal turmoil has already lost their life due to various reasons.

Unless you prepare these materials in advance, otherwise, time is simply insufficient.

Moreover, merely having materials is not enough; you also need the pill recipe, without which you cannot concoct the desired pills, and these pills vary depending on the individual as this recipe contains an ingredient that's the spiritual power already in internal turmoil within someone's body, or their internal energy.

Having this person's internal energy is crucial to correctly concoct the desired pill.

After all, this type of pill targets the changes produced by this person's internal energy for treatment, so without this internal energy, the concocted pill has no effect, and it might even have adverse effects.

Therefore, generally, those trapped in internal turmoil are essentially beyond rescue.

Just as everyone was preparing to seal the second senior brother who had already turned into an outside being, many bright lights appeared from afar.
