Chapter 1284: Chapter 736: First Glimpse of Causality, Battle of Wits with Shanghao!_2

The small volcano is precisely the core object that maintains this treasured land.

He approached it, extending his hand to touch, while maintaining silent recitation of the mantra taught by Master Ding Guang.

Through his fingertips, a certain energy slowly entered his body, extremely hot, even causing him to feel somewhat feverish.

"Demonic Qi... Fire Demon?"

Through introspection, Meng Chuan perceived that this energy was indeed too little, and the aura of the small volcano was clearly weaker by a bit.

With his expression moving, he quickly withdrew his hand, not daring to waste public property...

Clearly, the mental method mantra taught by Master Ding Guang, together with perception abilities, can precisely separate the demonic Qi.

He also understood that the aura that maintains the core object of the treasured land can also be called "demonic Qi."

Through the video, Ding Guang observed his actions and nodded, saying:

[You should have felt the burning sensation, right? Indeed, that is the Fire Demon, with this method of quiet observation, it can assist you in discerning the origin of demonic Qi.]

Indeed so, Meng Chuan nodded, listening as his master continued:

[Additionally, demonic Qi is divided into innate and acquired.

Innate demonic Qi was formed at the beginning of creation, hidden in mountain and river veins, among celestial movements, extremely rare, non-renewable, most have been used by predecessors, those still scattered in the wilderness often relate to the Demon Nest’s behavior of altering the surrounding environment.

For example, the widely known "Earth Demon" is one, born from the profound earth of the Nine Nether, bears the power of the earth’s thick and deep virtue, to refine the physical body and consolidate the foundation with great benefit.

The volcanic spirit thing you just felt is also nurtured by the innate creation, though containing little Fire Demon, it is still an innate demon.]

Meng Chuan nodded in understanding, couldn’t help but continue to ask:

[Besides these, what other innate demonic Qi are there?]

[There are many names for innate things, you must keep in mind, as long as it is extreme energy, it can be called demon, the relationship between demon and Qi is the former contained within the latter.

I will briefly illustrate, there is "Heaven Demon," hidden in the gaps between the circulation of Nine Heavens’ pure Qi, "Sun Demon," emitted by the great sun, utmost yang and firm, "Profound Yin Demon," formed in the extreme places under the lunar star’s shine, utmost cold and pure, also "Five Elements Demon," belong to gold, wood, water, fire, earth, each contains the essential essence of one element...

The reason why these innate demonic Qi are precious is because they contain a hint of the fundamental laws of creation, not only pure energy, but also have guiding effects on sensing the Dao and breaking through realms.

Acquired demons are different.]

Ding Guang paused, giving Meng Chuan time to digest, then immediately said:

[Acquired demonic Qi, often derived from the activities of living things, energy collisions or mutations.

The so-called Gang Qi stimulated by a Martial Arts Grandmaster, if strong enough, can also be called "Gang Demon." It merges Martial Arts Gang Qi with the aura of combat and slaughter, only fierce, losing the innate purity and Dao rhythm.]

[Understand.]

Meng Chuan nodded thoughtfully, conducting introspection.

Inside the Inner World, the area that reared the Gang Demon indeed felt chaotic and agitated, difficult to transform.

The little Fire Demon transplanted nearby was notably more active than the Gang Demon.

[Moreover...]

Ding Guang’s tone added a layer of profound meaning:

[Demonic Qi itself carries no good or evil.]

Meng Chuan was taken aback:

[No good or evil?]

The acquired Gang Demon causing harm upon entering, only he could rely on his traits to transform it.

Wouldn’t that be evil to others?

Reflecting his thoughts, he listened to Master Ding Guang’s explanation.

[In my view, energy, gas, and demon contain one another from before to after, all inherently without attributes, the so-called good and evil, is in terms of "people."]

Ding Guang said slowly:

[The demon nourishing physical body, beneficial to cultivation, preserving life - to you, is good; the demon eroding the soul, ruining Qi Blood, stealing living energy - to you, is evil.

Good and evil transform at a thought, for instance, a type of "Nether Demon," ordinary people touching it leads to decay of life force and diminished time, but for those cultivating special Divine Powers or refining yin Divine Weapon, it is a sought-after treasure.]

Meng Chuan’s mind stirred, blurting out:

[So, even if it’s a demon that can steal others’ life energy... If I can control and utilize it, it’s good?]

[Hahaha, indeed...]

On the other end of the call, Ding Guang laughed, with approval and a hint of the joy of a teachable child.

After the laughter stopped, his tone became solemn:

[Judgment of good and evil isn’t dictated by worldly moral judgments, in the pursuit of cultivation, what is useful to you, aids your progress, is good!]

Meng Chuan turned solemn, he could clearly hear Master Ding Guang’s tone being firm and resolute:

[You are pursuing Martial Arts, honing fists and feet, harnessing the energy of heaven and earth for your use, which is inherently opposed to heaven, if you rigidly bind your heart with worldly good and evil, it will be a lesser approach.

Of course, this doesn’t mean you can act recklessly or harm nature and reason.

The measure within, you must grasp yourself.]

Meng Chuan felt today’s gain was substantial, even slightly altering his worldview.

After pondering for a while, returning to awareness, he responded heavily:

[Disciple understands!]

Meng Chuan realized, Master Ding Guang wasn’t just teaching him to discern demonic Qi, but rather taking the opportunity to convey an attitude of cultivation.

"Practicality, discernment, to use one’s own path as a measure, evaluate the value of all things..."

On the video call, Ding Guang waved his hand:

[Understanding is good, let’s leave it here for today, you ponder deeply.

That mental method for discerning demonic Qi, practice diligently, it will be useful in the future.]

[Thank you, Master, for your guidance.]

Meng Chuan felt grateful, sincerely acknowledging.

Ding Guang spoke for a long time, he cleared his throat and laughed:

[Ahem... diligently cultivate.]

With outstanding talent and extreme diligence, a disciple as good as Meng Chuan, even though Ding Guang already has one, it is difficult not to be satisfied!

Prior with Xuan Mou, now with Meng Chuan.

For the inheritance of the Buddhist Sect, he has worried to the brink...
