Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"What's the specific difference?" Chen Zhao asked.

"If you use extreme heat as your environment, you will use fire to forge your body. External evil will not invade. Your body will be like black iron, and your heart will be like the blazing sun." The old turtle said: "Use extreme cold as your environment, your heart will be like a blade, and your mind will be like a knife. With the sword's radiance, the inner demons are not born, the energy is like a rainbow, and the power is like ice."

"Speak bluntly, I don't understand."

"Extreme heat is for tempering the body, extreme cold is for tempering the mind."

"Do you think body training is awesome?" Chen Zhao said: "At least in this body training, you can really feel the physical changes, but in this mind training, who knows if there are any changes."

"Extreme Cold Heart Refining can prevent inner demons from arising. In the long run, Extreme Cold has more advantages." Old Turtle said.

"Does that mean extreme cold is better?"

"You can't say that. If you don't have inner demons, you can't improve your state of mind."

"Holy shit, is it better to be extremely hot or extremely cold?"

"It will be all right……"

"Can you cultivate both ice and fire?" Chen Zhao asked.

"Taoism is about the reconciliation of yin and yang, but in most cases, basically no Taoist can successfully reconcile yin and yang."

"Okay, since others can't take the road, I won't take it either."

"..." Old Turtle looked at Chen Zhao speechlessly. When he listened to the first half of the sentence, he thought that Chen Zhao would say that he wanted to walk away from others, but he gave up in the second half of the sentence: "Actually, it's not completely walking away. It doesn’t make sense.”

"How to go?"

"The first is the time limit. Thousands of years ago in the human world, Hetu was once collected by a Taoist priest. I watched the Taoist priest practice step by step. However, when he reached the extreme level of cultivation, he was already a hundred years old. Although he had spiritual power, He is the best in the world, but his physical strength is almost exhausted and he simply cannot bear the dual cultivation of ice and fire, and he cannot cultivate the harmony of yin and yang before the deadline."

The old turtle looked at Chen Zhao: "You are different. You are young and vigorous, and your physical fitness is even different from ordinary people. And with the river map in hand, time is not a limit for you, so you have a better chance. Pass the dual baptism of yin and yang.”

"Is there any risk?" Chen Zhao asked.

"There are risks, but the benefits must outweigh the risks."

Chen Zhao thought for a moment: "How long will it take?"

"Then it depends on what package you receive."

"..." Chen Zhao rolled his eyes: "What package do you offer?"

"It will take about a hundred years for me to create an extremely hot or extremely cold environment for you." The old turtle said.

"A hundred years in the river map? So it takes a month in the outside world? No, if I disappear for a month, Fali won't go crazy."

"Then I'll use heavenly fire and black ice to help you reach your peak."

"How long will this take?"

"Estimated ten years."

"Can you stop halfway?"

"Can."

"Then use this." Chen Zhao said, "What should we do?"

"I will first create a barrier of sky fire and black ice."

Lao Turtle's power is all over the world, and he is countless times more powerful than Chen Zhao.

The vicissitudes of life may only occur in his thoughts.

First, giant pillars of black ice fell from the sky. These giant pillars of black ice were of different sizes and lengths.

The branches are within a range of several thousand feet, forming a semicircle.

Then the ground began to ignite with raging flames, connecting with the thousand-foot black ice barrier.

Ice and fire form a ring, half ice and half flame.

If you look down from above, it looks like a Tai Chi diagram.

As soon as Chen Zhao approached the direction of the flames, he felt a heat wave coming.

Chen Zhao wanted to change direction and approached the direction of the ice, but felt the biting cold again.

"What's going on? If I go in, I'll be frozen into ice slag, or it'll turn into a barbecue."

"Use your own spiritual power to protect your body first, then enter from the direction of Xuan Bing, make a half circle and enter the half circle of Sky Fire, and run as fast as you can."

Chen Zhao glanced at the old turtle: "Are you sure this is feasible?"

"This is still the cold and heat in the outermost layer. The closer to the core area of ​​the circle, the more intense the cold and heat are. If you can't even bear this temperature difference, you should change to ordinary extreme heat and extreme cold environments. "

Chen Zhao glanced at the entrance and then at Lao Turtle.

"Does it mean you're done after just one lap?"

"Haha... In the next ten years, you have to keep running and running. When will you completely transform your spiritual power, will you truly complete the transformation."

Chen Zhao fully mobilized the spiritual power in his body and began to cover the surface of his skin.

Approaching the Xuanbing realm again is no longer as unbearable as before.

Suddenly, Lao Turtle pushed Chen Zhao from behind.

Chen Zhao didn't even have time to prepare before he fell into the realm of black ice.

At this moment, the entrance to the Xuan Bing Domain was closed.

"Run quickly if you don't want to freeze to death."

Once inside, the biting chill hit me again.

"Old turtle, I'm your uncle." Chen Zhao started running like a girl.

Chen Zhao ran with all his strength, but Chen Zhao didn't know how fast he was running. He had to leave the Xuanbing realm as soon as possible.

It only took Chen Zhao a minute and a half to cover the distance of about three kilometers.

At this moment, a heat wave suddenly surged from the place where it connected with the Xuanbing Domain in front.

Chao Chao didn't care to think any more and plunged into the passage of the Sky Fire Domain.

For a moment, the heat wave in the sky fire field made Chen Zhao feel warm and the chill disappeared.

But the next moment, the heat wave that burned his skin was unbearable for Chen Zhao.

The human body reacts more strongly to heat than to cold, and Chen Zhao felt as if his hair was on fire.

Chen Zhao's speed became faster and he passed through the burning sky fire field.

There was a chill coming from the front again. Where was the exit?

Where is the exit that was originally connected here?

"Old turtle, you old bastard, did you block the exit?"

"You've only run around once and you want to be lazy?"

The old turtle's cry came from outside, and Chen Zhao ran while screaming strangely.

He rushed into the Xuanbing realm again and circled down again.

Passing through the realm of sky fire, and then passing through the realm of black ice...

This cycle goes on over and over again.

Physically, Chen Zhao could bear it, but the consumption of spiritual energy could not keep up.

Without the protection of spiritual power, Chen Zhao would have to face Xuan Bing and Tian Huo.

Finally, on the eighth lap, Chen Zhao's spiritual power was completely exhausted.

But before the eighth lap was completed, Chen Zhao had no choice but to sprint forward.

Finally saw the exit...

Chen Zhao rushed out of the exit and fell to the ground, covered with frostbite and burns.

"Why do I have to find fault on my own..." Chen Zhao was about to cry but had no tears.

"It's okay. You'll get used to it gradually. You can recuperate for a day and then continue."

"Old turtle, why do I feel that you are very enthusiastic about me?"

"Because it's boring."

Chen Zhao very much doubted whether Lao Turtle came up with this method just to torture himself.

Chen Zhao's recovery ability was very good and he recovered from his injury the next day.

Then the second round of ice and fire began.
