Chapter 45: Astonishment in the Sea of Knowledge! —— Seeking Recommendation Tickets!

  "Hahaha..."

  After releasing his own Xianling, Tang Qing's body emitted a very evil and strange aura, and his mood suddenly changed, becoming extremely arrogant and overbearing. His words and actions were disdainful of the world, looking down on the heavens, this was a state of mind that did whatever it wanted, whoever dared to block him would be directly killed, even if they were Xian or Mo, even heaven and earth were no exception. At the same time, this was also an extremely selfish state of mind, in heaven and on earth, only I am supreme, I am heaven, I am earth, I am the only one in heaven and earth.

  Surrounded by such an eerie aura, Tang Jing's state of mind entered a realm of solitude, but strangely, he didn't lose his rationality. On the contrary, his consciousness was extremely clear. He quietly sensed that his own Xianling had transformed, and indeed, just as he had previously speculated, there wasn't a single hint of Xian Qi left in his Xianling; all that remained was this eerie aura.

  Can't help but admit, this self-centered mentality is extremely refreshing, making him wish he could rush to the ninth heaven right now and kill him with relish.

  Shaking his head, Tang Qing's heart stirred slightly, and the fairy spirit disappeared.

  As the fairy spirit disappeared, the evil aura of Zhang Kuang's tyrannical path also disappeared. Tang Qing's state of mind returned from being arrogant to calm and peaceful, following nature, the evil energy in his expression also gradually dissipated, and his handsome face was restored, looking like a gentle and weak scholar again.

  "This is too ridiculous!"

  Tang Qing has confirmed that his Xianling has undergone a mutation, and once it is released, his state of mind will also enter the realm of "Only I".

  What's going on?

  Tang Qing now doesn't even have a clue, he thought carefully, his Xianling was fine before reshaping his physical body, how did it suddenly change after the physical body was reshaped? Is it related to him shaping a Da Di Zhi Ti?

  Is it that the earth's body rejects its own immortal spirit? Only then did the immortal spirit separate from the mortal body?

  It's also wrong that after I just released the Xianling, my physical body didn't feel any discomfort, but instead felt extremely comfortable and refreshing, a feeling as perfect as being one with heaven.

  If it doesn't reject, how can its own immortal spirit separate from its physical body?

  Even if we take a step back and say that the earth's body rejects its own immortal spirit, it is still impossible for the immortal spirit to mutate!

  What's going on?

  Tang Jing's heart skipped a beat as he suddenly remembered that not long ago, he had been afflicted with one of the Four Great Legendary Curses - the Yin-Yang Curse.

  Is it related to that yin and yang curse?

  To be honest, Tang Qing was extremely wary of curses. He had personally witnessed his old friend being driven to the brink of madness by a small curse, and now he was facing one of the four legendary yin-yang curses.

  Last time he tried to sense the yin-yang curse, it almost caused him to lose his mind. The horror of the yin-yang curse left him with lingering fear, although for now he didn't dare to try sensing the yin-yang curse again, but he had a way to investigate its origin.

  Ocean of Knowledge

  All things in heaven and earth have a sea of consciousness, humans are no exception.

  The sea of consciousness is a person's conscious world, and it also reflects the inner world of a person. Everything about a person will be mapped in the form of consciousness in the sea of consciousness. Therefore, everyone's heart is different, and the sea of consciousness will also be different. If the heart is sinister, the sea of consciousness must be overcast with dark clouds. If the heart is kind, the sea of consciousness must be clear and sunny.

  Tang Qing did not dare to sense the yin-yang curse, but he himself had already been affected by the yin-yang curse. Therefore, in his own sea of consciousness, he could absolutely see the conscious form of the yin-yang curse.

  Tang Qing sat cross-legged on the ground again, gently closing his eyes and controlling his consciousness to slowly enter the sea of knowledge.

  His mind was a vast and dark expanse, with some depression, some oppression, and some loneliness.

  In the dark sea of consciousness, nine lightning marks were deeply imprinted on the void, like nine ferocious dragons baring their teeth and claws. This was the mark left by Tang Jing after he had gone through the nine heavenly tribulations in the sea of consciousness. At the end of the sea of consciousness, a gigantic figure stood tall, shrouded in golden light, reaching a height of tens of thousands of feet. Standing there, his aura was overwhelming, his power covering the heavens and the earth, as if he had come from the distant ancient wilderness. His left eye was like the sun, his right eye like the moon. With each breath, he swallowed clouds and spat out mist. Raising his arms, he seemed to cover the sky and block out the sun. His feet were planted firmly on the ground, as if they could cause the earth to shatter.

  Everything of a person appears in the sea of consciousness with an ideology, and Tang Jing's physical body is now the body of the earth. If the guess is correct, this giant should be the ideological form of the earth's body. Tang Jing carefully sensed that this thing was really majestic, and he found that the sun and moon double pupils of the earth's body were staring tightly at the other end, as if being cautious about something, and also like warning something.

  What's at the other end of the dead end?

  Tang Qing had just gone to sense the aura, but hadn't truly touched it yet. Suddenly a terrifying breath enveloped him, almost crushing his consciousness.

  This strange yet familiar aura, Tang Jing remembered it very clearly, was precisely the aura of the Yin-Yang Curse.

  Last time it was mental, this time it's consciousness, and again just barely escaped being crushed by that yin-yang curse.

  Too perverted!

  Tang Jing did not continue to sense, because the existence of yin and yang curse had completely exceeded his understanding.

  Previously, Tang Qing's sea of consciousness was empty and dark, but now there is a yin-yang curse and a body of the earth. However, in reality it is not so, when he continued to feel, surprisingly discovered that his own sea of consciousness changes far more than that.

  He actually sensed nine carved statues and nine tombstones.

  How could there be such a thing in Laozi's ocean of knowledge?

  Tang Jing carefully sensed that in front of each statue stood a tombstone, on which was engraved an epitaph.

  "Tomb of the Chaotic Evil Deity!"

  "The first tomb of the primordial evil!"

  "The Tomb of Tian Di Xie Zun!"

  "The Tomb of the Yellow Emperor!"

  "Tomb of the Cosmic Evil Emperor!"

  "The Tomb of the Desolate Evil King!"

  "The Tomb of the Nine Heavens Evil Deity!"

  "The Tomb of the Nine Evil Demons!"

  "The Tomb of the Ancient Evil!"

  Affected by the epitaph on the tombstone, Tang Qing's heart was shocked. What kind of people are these? He didn't recognize them and had never heard of them before. However, the name "Huang Gu Tai Xie" engraved on the ninth tombstone was extremely familiar to Tang Qing.

  That was the Great Desolate Era's notorious, heaven-defying, demon-slaying, blood-soaked, and ancient-laughing butcher! Legend has it that when Taiyi was born in the Great Desolate Era, the bloody aura would inevitably stain half of the sky, and the heavy killing intent would make the immortals and demons tremble.

  Is it possible that with the end of the Great Wilderness era, Ta Xie, this great butcher, also died?

  But how did he end up buried in Laozi's sea of consciousness?

  What the hell are those eight tombstones in front of? Are they evil gods, evil emperors, or evil nobles? What kind of people are these?!

  After being shocked, Tang Qing continued to feel a strange sensation, which made his consciousness confused for a moment.

  He actually sensed a person, yes! That was a man, an old man with white hair and beard, frail in build, wearing a simple grey long gown, intently carving the tenth statue. In front of the tenth statue also stood a tombstone, but there were no inscriptions on it.

  How did this old man suddenly appear in my mind?

  Tang Jing suppressed the tremble in his heart and tried to communicate with him, but no matter what, the old man seemed to be completely unaware of his existence, still intently carving the tenth statue. Tang Jing tried for a very long time, no matter how he pulled at the old man's consciousness, the old man treated him as if he were invisible.

  The change in the sea of consciousness shocked and frightened Tang Qing, he immediately withdrew from the sea of consciousness to think clearly.

  But he didn't know that when his consciousness left, the old man who was carving the tenth statue suddenly stopped moving, looked up, glanced in the direction where Tang Jing disappeared, shook his head slightly, as if sighing about something, and a hoarse voice muttered to himself.

  "I don't know... what will be his final outcome..."

  As his voice fell, he looked towards the other end of the horizon, which was the direction of the Yin-Yang curse. He sighed and said, "I suppose you didn't expect it to turn out like this either? You changed his immortal spirit, causing it to stir up heaven and earth, but you didn't think that his body as a scattered immortal would take shape as a terrestrial body, thus giving him the power of terrestrial protection."

  "Although he has gone through the ninefold heavenly tribulation, his heart is still oppressed by madness. However, under his despair and coldness, he did not go mad, but chose to follow nature instead... With this state of mind and the protection of the earth, can he really become evil as you wish?"

  "I'm really looking forward to seeing which path he will choose..."

  "I hope he can always go with the flow..."
