The Magic Lamp Ability: Starting with One Person in the Republic of China Era

Seeing Wang Wen standing there dumbfounded, Zhou Ming couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha! Brother Wen, you're still not used to your own technique?"

"There's nothing I can do. This technique feels completely effortless to use; it's like I'm not even using it," Wang Wen said somewhat awkwardly.

"Unlike my previous Thirteen Protectors Underworld Armor, which had to actively maintain the iron sand."

Zhou Ming smiled and looked at Kamo Shinroku. This guy was the first to create the Blood Soul Demon Blade, and with his own formidable strength, he could be considered the strongest among the Blood Demon Blades.

Unfortunately, it's already very close to becoming a beast.

"This guy is pretty strong, there should still be hope," Zhou Ming thought to himself.

"Kamo Shinroku, you stay here." After Zhou Ming finished speaking, he looked at Koike-kun.

"You lead the remaining Blood Demon soldiers and go capture people. Listen carefully, capture people, the more the better."

"Yes!" Koike-kun nodded in response, his gaze turning to Kamo Shinroku, who posed a great threat to him.

Kamo no Shinroku stood to the side like a corpse, his pupils red, obediently acting as a guard.

Wang Wen also stood up and directed the eight men to guard the surroundings and ensure Zhou Ming's safety.

After adjusting his state, Zhou Ming sat cross-legged in the trench and slowly closed his eyes.

My immediate perception wasn't focused on the Blood Demon Soldier or the Origin Rune, but rather on the three flames burning within the three lamps in my body.

The primordial spirit fire in the upper dantian, the primordial qi fire in the middle dantian, and the essence fire in the lower dantian.

“Samadhi True Fire? I already have the ability to condense my own Samadhi True Fire, but in my previous enlightenment and calculations, it seems to be a different approach from the Zhuge family’s.”

Zhou Ming recalled the Samadhi Fire he had constructed during his enlightenment state, based on his deductions about the burning Blood Fiend Talisman and Blood Fiend Power.

Samadhi and True Fire are Buddhist and Taoist terms, respectively. Originally, this supernatural power could be said to be a combination of Buddhism and Taoism, but as it developed, it also had many versions.

The Zhuge family was not the only one, but in the original work, only Zhuge Qing was able to achieve this.

The Zhuge family's version of Samadhi Fire is more primitive and closer to the original version combining Buddhism and Taoism.

Although essence, energy, and spirit are united, it is a flame with spirit as its core, and the essence of cultivation is actually samadhi.

Samadhi is one of the methods of Buddhist practice, which means eliminating all distracting thoughts and calming the mind.

This aligns perfectly with Zhuge Qing's cultivation process, especially the aspect of dealing with inner demons.

The ability that is born is also a true fire that burns the spiritual world and the power of the soul.

On the contrary, the Samadhi Fire that Zhou Ming himself realized was more focused on the word "True Fire".

The term "True Fire" originates from the Taoist internal alchemy practice: the highest level uses "Heaven and Earth as the cauldron, the sun and moon as water and fire, Yin and Yang as the transformative mechanism, lead, mercury, silver, sand, and earth as the five elements, temperament as the dragon and tiger, and thought as the true seed. Refining thought with the mind is the control of the fire, calming thought is nourishing the fire, containing light is consolidating the essence, subduing inner demons is the battle, body, mind, and intention are the three essentials, the Heavenly Heart is the mysterious gate, and the return of emotion to nature is the completion of the elixir." This is called the highest level of prolonging life, which can lead to immortality.

Zhou Ming has not yet achieved the elixir of immortality, but he does indeed use this theory, taking himself as the furnace of heaven and earth, using the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit as materials, and the three supernatural flames to forge and condense into a elixir fire.

This is the Samadhi Fire, which burns all things in the world, and it is actually closer to the lower level of internal alchemy cultivation.

The three divine lamp flames within the body were gradually outlined together, constantly circulating and carefully merging.

It's possible that the concept of a magic lamp, which is essentially a flame, comes from the same type of data concept.

It's also possible that the power itself was very compatible with the characteristics of fusion, and the entire fusion process went unexpectedly smoothly.

However, a smooth integration process does not mean there are no other problems.

Faint sounds began to appear in my mind, and the scene from that dream gradually reappeared.

"Even if one doesn't specialize in the divine, are there still inner demons in the process of refining flames?" Zhou Ming thought of the phrase "subduing inner demons is the key to battle."

One by one, ghostly figures appeared, all of whom were people killed by Zhou Ming, including blood demon soldiers like Tenki and Furukawa Aoto, whom he had enslaved.

Various scenes emerged, including the warmth of some soldiers' childhoods, their efforts to get ahead, and the support of their parents.

It seemed both inspiring and touching, but then he came to China and was casually killed by Zhou Ming. A large number of soldiers' parents, whom they remembered, appeared in this space, their grief seemingly trying to infect Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming simply stood there, even watching all of this with a cold smile.

One of the young soldiers' young mothers, seeing Zhou Ming completely unmoved, rushed over, grabbed Zhou Ming's clothes, and cried out!

"You damned butcher, don't you feel any remorse?"

"A bunch of serial killers calling me a butcher and wanting me to feel guilty? That's laughable!" Zhou Ming sneered as he reached out and grabbed the young mother's hair.

His foot stepped directly onto her clothes from her ample chest and pulled her up sharply.

"Snap!" The clothes were completely torn to shreds, revealing a patch of snow-white skin.

"Be glad this is a dream! Otherwise, I would have made you forget all your pain in bliss." After saying that, Zhou Ming smashed the young mother's head with a single palm strike.

The fragments disintegrated into black mist, and a young soldier in the black shadows gradually collapsed.

Zhou Ming, his face cold, turned to look in one direction and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Are you my inner demon or not? Even at a time like this, you still think I'm a good person?"

The Samadhi True Fire of the Three-in-One burned on Zhou Ming's body. His right hand suddenly grabbed forward, burning through the dream and pulling out a shadowy figure of Zhou Ming from the deepest part of the dream.

"Have you forgotten nine years of compulsory education? Have you forgotten the words of the great man? Our enemy is the Japanese militarist regime..."

"Hahaha!" Zhou Ming's loud laughter interrupted the inner demon's words.

"This is fucking hilarious. Why do you make it sound like I'm the inner demon and you're the one undergoing tribulation?"

"Isn't that so? I'm not actually the inner demon in your heart at all, but rather your memory of peace, your longing for that carefree life, and your desire to leave a memento on this land after the victory of the War of Resistance." The inner demon smiled very gently and obediently.

"Even if you are unwilling to admit it, your identity is still fundamentally that of a Kuomintang member. Although you resisted the Japanese, you were extremely bloodthirsty. Many people will not agree with this. The more you kill, the further you are from this homeland."

"The closer you get to victory, the more you have to make a choice: whether to stay and hide or even die, or to flee to another place."

Chapter 61 Blood River

Zhou Ming fell silent, but his expression remained unchanged; he simply stared coldly at his inner demon.

"Is that all?"

The sudden words stunned the inner demon who had been feeling confident of victory. Wasn't this what he cared about most?

“I don’t even care about my life anymore, do you think any of that can sway me?” Zhou Ming said calmly.

"Impossible. These are the emotions that touch our hearts the most. It's absolutely impossible for us not to care about them," the inner demon retorted.

“So you’re not like my inner demon at all,” Zhou Ming suddenly said in a low voice, his body radiating a faint black aura and his eyes glowing red. “On the contrary, I’m more like your inner demon.”

"My hometown is something I miss, but it's not the only one."

When Zhou Ming first awakened his memories of his past life, he found himself extremely unaccustomed to this era. This was not the era that allowed him to stand tall and proud, nor was it a peaceful, safe, and stable one.

Looking at the inner demon before him, Zhou Ming realized that it was probably the initial confusion and despair that gave birth to this so-called inner demon.

He longed for his hometown, especially the peaceful place he lived after the victory in the War of Resistance against Japan.

"What do you mean?" the inner demon asked, as if it were stuck in a daze.

"Are you my inner demon or not? Don't you know I'm a staunch believer in the ideal of great revenge? Even if I can't stay on this land, I still have a paradise to go to." Zhou Ming, like a devil, revealed a bloodthirsty smile.

The Samadhi True Fire erupted directly, engulfing the inner demon and igniting it instantly.

Before he even had a chance to continue rambling, his inner demons were burned away, and streams of primordial energy merged into Zhou Ming's spirit.

The black shadow's curses continued to ring out beside him. Zhou Ming glanced around coldly, sneered, and unleashed a large amount of Samadhi True Fire.

"I don't even care about the opinions of my own compatriots, so why would I care about you beasts?"

The flames burned everything, the illusion gradually shattered, and his thoughts returned to his body. A crystal flame, like a lotus flower, appeared within him; this was Zhou Ming's Samadhi True Fire.

"Pathetically weak," Zhou Ming said indifferently.

The reason why the inner demon was so weak was that Zhou Ming's own condition did not give the inner demon enough room to grow.

After the initial confusion and despair of regaining his memories, Zhou Ming has been completely transformed. Coupled with the trials and tribulations of the past six months, his will has become even stronger.

Furthermore, the flame of the primordial spirit burns away distracting thoughts, tempering the spirit, and the fused Martial Spirit personality itself is imprinted with an extremely strong will.

Furthermore, the spiritual cultivation technique of "My Heavenly Heart" strengthens the will of idealism and weakens the inner demons to the extreme.

He has almost no weaknesses in his will; even when inner demons arise, he can only use his longing for his hometown as a pretext.

That's why they are so weak and laughable.

Zhou Ming looked at the Origin Rune, where spell runes swirled around it, forming a structure similar to the solar system.

With a thought, a Blood Fiend Talisman flew up, hovering next to the Primal Talisman, and suddenly began to disperse.

The streaks of blood dispersed according to Zhou Ming's plan, and then re-weaved.

This is the first magical talisman Zhou Ming created, the Blood Control Technique, and also one of the components of the new Blood Demon Soldiers.

The main inspiration for this spell comes from the control of blood in the Reverse Blood Explosion Technique. It was extracted and re-evolved during the previous state of enlightenment.

As the talisman gradually reformed, a smile appeared on Zhou Ming's lips.

A talisman resembling a drop of blood floated beside the primordial talisman.

Immediately following, a second Blood Fiend Talisman floated up, but this was not a spell talisman for controlling blood, but rather a second spell, Soul Blood.

This spell is based on the blood demon blade's essence and outer shell being separate yet connected, forming spell runes.

Soul Blood, taken out of context, has no ability or can not exert any ability, but it is an important component of the new Blood Demon Soldier.

"Everything is ready, we can begin." Zhou Ming slowly exhaled and then opened his eyes.

Zhou Ming waved his hand at Kamo Shinroku, and Kamo Shinroku immediately came over obediently.

Upon seeing Zhou Ming reach out, he immediately squatted down, and then Zhou Ming pressed his hand against his forehead.

Zhou Ming closed his eyes again and looked at the vast, empty river that resembled a data concept.

The azure-colored flame lotus floated past and crashed directly into the great river, where raging flames burned on the lotus.

The azure flames slowly scorched this vast river of data concepts, carefully controlling the infusion of the power of Samadhi True Fire.

At the same time, the great river also came to the bottom of the primordial talisman, and the wisps of blood-red power in the primordial talisman were drawn down and gradually merged into the great river.

Gradually, the great river began to change; the water began to surge, and the surface gradually turned into flames.

The river water gradually turned red, eventually looking like a blood-red, burning sea of ​​fire.

A preliminary balance has been achieved, and the most important step has begun.

Zhou Ming controlled the two newly created talismans and directly integrated them into He Mao Zhenliu's body, finding the location of the Blood Fiend Talisman.
