Destiny is ashes

Chapter 65: Destiny to Purify the Devil

Just as An Jing was calming down, a sword pattern appeared on the boy's forehead and lighted up slightly.

The sword spirit used An Jing's perception to observe the spiritual energy of the Huaixu Realm with An Jing.

It didn't take long.

Suddenly, An Jing's expression changed drastically and he opened his eyes in shock. The sword pattern on his forehead also flashed silver light in shock, which was enough to prove that the sword spirit's mood fluctuated greatly.

"Demon energy!"

An Jing stood up suddenly, stared at his hands, and then looked around at the entire world with incredible eyes: "Actually, it's all demonic energy?!"

"How is it possible... that the spiritual energy of the entire Huaixu Realm has been completely polluted by demonic energy?!"

In the other world, when you are peaceful and quiet, concentrating your thoughts and refining your Qi, you can sense that the spiritual energy of the entire world is a bit turbid, just like a city covered by fog or grayish-white smog.

You can breathe, but the air you breathe contains a lot of impurities, which is harmful to your body if you breathe it for a long time.

This is the aftermath of the "Demon Tribulation". The entire world has been eroded by the demons, causing semi-permanent damage that is extremely difficult to heal.

The wilderness and acid rain are only the most superficial manifestations, while the deeper manifestation is that the spiritual energy is polluted and practitioners are very likely to become possessed.

Therefore, when the sword spirit discovered that the alien world was still based on the system of 'spiritual roots and qi refining', he was actually quite surprised.

——Even with the pollution being so severe, people can still practice Qi in the other world. This is like bathing in a river that is full of heavy metal pollution.

To what extent is the Huaixu Realm, which looks sunny and clean, but has to adopt the "Fate Martial Arts", actually polluted?
The answer is black sandstorm!

If the degree of spiritual energy pollution in the other world is just grayish-white smog, then the spiritual energy pollution in the Huaixu world is a 'sandstorm' where you can't see your hand in front of you!
The entire world was shrouded in dark aura, like swimming in a bottomless cesspool!
"Oh my God, I'm lucky I held back and didn't actually try to refine my Qi, otherwise my spiritual roots would have been contaminated!"

Out of caution, An Jing never thought about using his spiritual roots to practice in the Huaixu Realm.

If he had had the slightest thought of absorbing spiritual energy, he would have been hit and the evil energy would have entered his body.

"How can it be!"

The sword spirit was also incredulous and said: "If the spiritual energy of Huaixu Realm has been polluted to this extent, then Huaixu Realm would not be as lush and green as it is now. Instead, it would be like hell on earth, with barren land, filthy rivers, and blood rain from the sky!"

"The previous demons will also be strengthened. They don't have to retreat back to the Netherworld Sea, because the Huaixu Realm is equivalent to their second home!"

"I just saw that the environment of Huaixu Realm was pretty good, so I felt that the demonic pollution was not very serious... This is completely beyond common sense!"

The sword spirit simply couldn't imagine how abnormal all this was.

It's like no one could have imagined that a beautiful forest with sweet streams and a vibrant life is actually full of filth and poison. If you just breathe it in, you will be poisoned to death.

It makes no sense.

"So, there must be a reason why Huaixu Realm chose 'Fate Martial Arts' as the path of cultivation..."

At this moment, An Jing thought of something. He frowned, concentrating his mind to stimulate his destiny, and a red totem halo lit up behind his head.

Stimulate your own "fate" and meditate quietly in this situation.

Then it dawned on him.

——The spiritual energy of Huaixu Realm that was polluted to black was absorbed by the fate totem, and then purified, and turned back into the purest and most refined spiritual energy, which is commonly known as the 'spiritual energy of heaven and earth'!
——These pure spiritual energies, through destiny, are transmitted into your body, nourishing every part of your limbs and bones!

Destiny and fate are the filters for evil spirits!
In the Huaixu Realm, without a destiny to filter out the almost ubiquitous demonic energy, no one can absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth!
"So that's how it is. No wonder only those with destiny can practice it!" At this moment, An Jing fully understood the essence of 'destiny martial arts'.

In the Huaixu Realm, only those with a destiny can utilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Even for someone like him, a special person who has awakened both his destiny and spiritual roots, can only practice destiny-based martial arts.

Because the spiritual energy absorbed and converted by the fate will spread throughout the body, infiltrate the flesh and blood, and strengthen the body, which is equivalent to directly returning to fetal breathing.

Spiritual roots are another system. After the cultivator uses the spiritual roots to absorb spiritual energy into the body, it is stored in the dantian and distributed through the meridians. This is equivalent to breathing through the mouth and nose and distributing it through the lungs.

Theoretically, breathing from the lungs is more natural, less difficult, and more efficient.

But now, there is a protective film on An Jing's skin that can purify the evil spirit, but there is none on his mouth, nose, and lungs.

As long as you breathe, you will be polluted.

So it’s best not to breathe, just breathe as a fetus.

An Jing suddenly realized.

No wonder, no wonder that although the Huaixu Realm looks much better than the environment in the other world, in the end, one still has to give up the already very mature spiritual root Qi refining and develop a completely new destiny martial arts!

All this is because the environment of Huaixu Realm has been polluted to the point where it is impossible to refine Qi!

“That doesn’t make sense!”

In the Sea of ​​Gods, the sword spirit was still struggling: "Back then... we should have won, right? Although I left the stage halfway through, I was still able to be sacrificed in the end, and the human race prospered and multiplied, so I should have won!"

"But looking at the extent of the demonic pollution... Did we lose back then? If we lost, Huaixu would have been destroyed by the demons long ago, and the human race would have perished!"

"Also, the result of the final battle of the Demonic Tribulation that year... How come I don't remember it at all?!"

At this moment, the broken sword in An Jing's sea of ​​​​soul was constantly shaking, and it was obvious that the sword spirit's spirit was extremely unstable.

"Don't worry, Fuxie." An Jing pondered for a while and said slowly: "I think you should know."

"It's just that those memories are your 'lost memories'."

"Someone, maybe a demon or your former companion, took those memories away, leaving you clueless about your current situation."

This is also a possibility.

"...Indeed. Rather than the demon, it is more likely that my former companions and I made this decision."

Fu Xie Sword Spirit was silent for a while, then sighed tiredly: "If that is really the case, should I regain those memories?"

"It's so complicated. I'm just a sword. Why should I be involved in something like this?"

But soon, He cheered up: "It doesn't matter, anyway, you are the one holding the sword now!"

"When the time comes, An Jing, you will decide whether I want to regain my memory or not."

After all, it is a sword, so it is natural for the Fuxie Sword Spirit to get rid of its mental burden - He is just a sword and cannot make decisions.

He was even quite proud of his choice: "Fortunately, I had anticipated this beforehand, so your Taibai Haoling Divine Prohibition does not need to absorb external spiritual energy. As long as you have enough Five Metal Evil Qi, you can practice it."
