Xiao Man easily pierced through another ghost soldier with the long sword in her hand.
She watched the monster burn into ashes in front of her.
A bit of soul fire returned again.
Xiao Man felt that there seemed to be a change in her body.
She walked to the stream and looked at the reflection of her shadow in the clear water.
The beautiful girl was eighteen years old, young and graceful.
But...
In the stream, the girl's eyes were no longer as big and beautiful as before.
In those pupils, there was another ball of faintly discernible flame spinning.
The fire had no color.
It was as if it came from nowhere.
Beside his ears, countless remnant thoughts and embers lingered.
"Eat... Eat meat..."
"I'm hungry... I want to eat fresh meat..."
"Eat... Eat..."
These were the thoughts of the Asuras.
There were no embers burned by the soul fire.
Other than that, Xiao Man also heard some inaudible sounds.
"This year's crops are not growing well... I still owe Master three buckets of rice..." This was the lingering thought of a farmer.
"That woman yesterday was really pretty... Unfortunately... It's expensive..." This was the thought of a soldier guarding the city.
These thoughts were mixed in the crazy cries of the Asuras.
It made Xiao Man's originally sweet and cute baby face twist bit by bit.
This was the price of soul devouring!
To devour others, one had to bear the invasion of other people's thoughts and thoughts.
Even a Xuan Jun was not immune!
But a Xuan Jun was extremely strong!
To him, some remnant thoughts and distracting thoughts might just be the cry of an ant.
However, Xiao Man was too weak.
Even if her sword heart was firm, it was inevitably affected and corroded.
Her face slowly became sharper, and her originally white and flawless nose became even straighter. Little red spots slowly appeared on her cheeks.
In the lines on her skin, it left behind a thin circuit.
Xiao Man finally couldn't help but kneel down.
She leaned on her sword and tried her best to resist the shaking and distortion in her soul.
Bit by bit, she suppressed the distracting thoughts of the Asuras that were devoured and the remaining distracting thoughts when the Asuras devoured mortals.
This made her hair wet and her face ferocious.
After an unknown period of time.
The turbulence in her soul was finally suppressed.
Xiao Man gasped for breath and looked at herself in the stream.
She was still an eighteen -year-old girl, graceful and graceful.
However …
"I must persevere …" she told herself.
But she understood that she might not be able to hold on much longer.
Right now, she had only just stepped onto the cultivation path of Soul Devourer.
He had only killed a dozen low-level Asuras.
However, his soul had already been corroded and shaken.
If she continued like this, Xiaoman knew that before the Killing Pill was formed, she would first become a Heavenly Demon.
But what could she do?
He could only brace himself and continue on.
"At the very least, let's get rid of the Asura in Qingshan Town first!" Xiao Man stood up and looked at the ruins of Qingshan Town under the setting sun.
Today, she had spent half a day cleaning up the low-level Asuras wandering around Qingshan Town.
This allowed her to safely devour the souls of a dozen or so low-grade Asuras.
While completely destroying these monsters and preventing them from resurrecting, it also strengthened his Divine Soul.
Xiao Man's soul had grown from the size of a bean sprout to the size of a pea.
Its quality was already equivalent to a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!
This was an unparalleled cultivation speed.
Breaking through in half a day!
Even the legendary Immortals and Gods would not be able to do this at Xiao Man's stage.
However …
She was still too weak!
Xiao Man knew this.
The Blood Queen of Qingshan Town …
Was not something that was easy to deal with.
As an Asura, she had already reached the peak of Asura.
Just a little bit more and she could transform into a Heavenly Demon.
And a Heavenly Demon had the power of a Core Formation at the very least!
However, Xiao Man had no choice!
Asuras and Heavenly Demons had a special way of sensing.
They could sense the change in the number of 'their own people' within a certain range.
Therefore, if they did not attack Qingshan Town immediately, once the Asuras in Qingshan Town were mobilized.
Xiao Man would no longer have a chance.
Holding the sword, Xiao Man walked forward step by step.
She did not have time. She had to kill her way into Qingshan Town as soon as possible!
… …
Ling Ping'an watched the figure of the Fusang girl disappear at the door.
He couldn't help but scratch his head. "What's going on..."
"Why did she leave as soon as she said she wanted to buy books..."
The young bookstore owner was greatly stimulated.
"Could it be that... I'm really not suitable for business?" He was a little depressed.
Meow!
The kitten's meow rang out in his ears.
Its wet and hot tongue licked the back of his hand.
Ling Ping'an looked up at his pet and patted its head. "Little Darling, don't worry about me!"
"I'm very strong!"
He revealed a very bright smile. "I will try my best to have a good relationship with the customers!"
The bookstore was essentially a service industry.
Since it was a service industry, it was his job to serve the customers well.
If the business was not good, he had to reflect on it.
Ling Ping'an felt that he should adjust his attitude.
It was necessary to provide good service to every customer.
He couldn't scare people anymore.
"Hmm..."
"I have to be careful with my words in the future..." Ling Ping'an said.
As a gentleman, he remembered the characteristics of a gentleman. He had to reflect on himself three times a day, be like the virtuous, and reflect on himself when he saw the unvirtuous.
It was also a good tradition of the Federal Empire to be good at reflecting and looking for problems from oneself.
It was also the root cause of this country being able to maintain for three hundred years without decline.
Thus, he turned on the television, took the remote control, and tuned to the popular science and education channel.
He planned to listen to the lecture and cleanse his soul again.
On the television screen, the figure of a scholar appeared.
He was standing on the podium, giving a lecture.
Ling Ping'an looked at the title of the television, the lecture on the Empire's Three Hundred Years of Turbulence.
He nodded, amplified the sound, and listened carefully.
Coincidentally, the scholar on the podium was talking about the story of Taizu establishing the system.
"In the third year of Taizu's prosperity, Emperor Taizu was already prepared to establish the principles of the charter that we are now using..."
"The first rule is to prohibit the ignorant people..."
"When Emperor Taizu summoned Governor Li Dacheng of Jingchu to the capital to report on his work, he explained this in detail..."
"Emperor Taizu's original words were: I have been reading history recently, and from the history books, I only read the word 'ignorant people'..."
"This is very bad!"
"Why did we raise our troops?"
"So many of our brothers died on the battlefield. What was it for?"
"To let our descendants continue to fool the people?!"
"This is not good!"
"This strategy of fooling the people has done a lot of harm!"
"The people under my rule do not have the right to be stupid!"
"Therefore, in Gaozong's later years, when he convened the Council of Ministers and agreed on the Magna Carta of the country... The first article of the Magna Carta was that 'the Federal Empire and all independent kingdoms must protect the right of the people to receive education. State organs and no individual may obstruct the people from exercising this right'!"
"Gaozong even announced in his posthumous edict that 'people are born with the right to receive education'. This is a self-evident truth! I hope that one day, the sons of tenant farmers and the sons of landlords will sit hand in hand in front of the same desk in the same classroom... I hope that one day, the children of nobles and the children of commoners will attend the same school... "
"In the face of education, everyone is equal! In the face of opportunity, everyone is equal! "
Ling Ping'an couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, "A wise ruler is nothing more than this!"
The people of the Federal Empire had a very close relationship with the royal family.
It was not only because the royal family took the initiative to delegate power, but also because the royal family had always been a force that promoted progress!
Education, equal rights for men and women, protection of women...
Public health and infrastructure...
Behind the shadows of countless things, there was the shadow of the royal family.
After sighing, he laughed again.
Because this was the first article of the Federal Empire's Magna Carta. In the history of 200 years of development, there were a total of three great protectors' explanations.
One of them was directed at the media.
This great protector's explanation was that the media and all other public platforms were not allowed to disseminate unconfirmed news and events (except for entertainment) to the public.
This limited the media's rumors to a certain extent.
But it also made conspiracy theories popular.
Because, there were many things that the media did not dare to report.
But it was spread everywhere among the people.
Therefore, many people instinctively felt that there was a conspiracy behind this or that the central cabinet was covering up something shameful.
That Bermuda Triangle, Sun Financial Group of Yungui...
They were all because of the poison.
There was no other way!
No media dared to take the risk of violating the Constitution to do any reporting.
Violating the Constitution was not a joke. It could cost lives.
Therefore, the people naturally began to imagine.
And the Federal Empire had been around for another 300 years.
Although this huge machine was still sound, it was inevitable that some things had aged.
Therefore, conspiracy theories and violence theories were formed.
What Draconic Dragon, what Monster …
Haunted houses...
These were all things that were spread in private.
And the people believed this rumor very much.
Even later, the central government of the Empire could not stand it anymore. They organized a few national television stations and created a program called "Approaching Science" to popularize science and refute the rumors to the people.
The program team entered the legendary places that had been circulating among the people for a long time to find the truth and then found a bunch of grand scholars to explain it scientifically.
But...
This had the opposite effect.
Because many people did not believe it at all.
Even if the truth was right in front of them, they still refused to believe it.
In addition, that program liked to do some tricks. Slowly, it was ridiculed on the Internet.
Therefore, not only were the rumors not cleared up, but they spread even further and wider.
In recent years, with the rise of the mobile Internet, the new platform of the Internet added fuel to the fire.
Even Jiangcheng City seemed to have many strange urban legends.
The most recent ones were the streets near Ling Ping'an, which were rumored to be 'Wenqu Xing Blessed Land' and 'Wenyun Chang Long'.
It caused the housing prices to rise continuously, and there were even new residential areas that were about to be developed.
One had to know...
There hadn't been any new buildings in this area for more than ten years.
Thinking of this, Ling Ping'an could only shake his head, "Everyone is like a dragon, the world is full of Yao and Shun..."
"Even today, the last wish of the great ancestor has not been fulfilled!"
There was nothing he could do. This was reality.
Especially after the abundance of materials, many people had nothing to do.
"Why think so much?" He suddenly laughed, "Let's write..."
"After all, I'm not the real Tao Yuanming..."
… …
At noon, Ah Ning, who came back with her school bag, opened the door.
She happily held the hand of the person behind her.
In the past few days, Ah Ning had been boarding at the school teacher's house.
Because her brother said that he had to go out to do something.
Until today, her brother finally came back and even went to school to pick her up.
Ah Ning was very happy!
"Brother, Ah Ning has learned a poem these few days!"
"Ah Ning will recite it for you..."
"The grass on the plains wither and flourish every year. The wildfire can't burn it, but it grows again when the spring breeze blows!"
Listening to Ah Ning's innocent recitation of the poem.
Zhou Ke laughed.
However, his face was a little pale and he looked a little weak.
Ah Ning noticed this and immediately asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing..." Zhou Ke said, "Brother just went on a long trip..."
He reached out and pinched his cheek, stuffing back a tentacle that was about to jump out.
Then, he turned around and pulled the skin on his face to make it stick closer.
Then, he squatted down and said to Ah Ning, "Ah Ning..."
"Do you remember what brother told you before he left?"
Ah Ning nodded vigorously and said, "Ah Ning remembers! Brother said to let Ah Ning look at the stars on the paper every night... "
She took out a piece of paper that she had been putting in her pocket.
"If you see the stars disappear, go to the brother in the bookstore and ask him to take care of Ah Ning..."
"Ah Ning looks at it every day!"
"The stars are always there!"
Zhou Ke smiled and patted Ah Ning's head. "What a good child!"
He took the piece of paper and put it away solemnly.
Stars were the symbol of the old rulers.
Because in a sense, every Great Old Dominator was a star.
That was why Ge Helos was an outer god.
Wherever he passed, the resounding celestial song would definitely wake up a sleeping old ruler. That was the reason why the world was destroyed.
Because...
In a sense, it wasn't so much that Ge Helos had awakened the old ones.
Rather, it was that he had summoned the old ones.
Ah Ning looked at her brother. She asked innocently, "Brother, where have you been these few days?"
"A very far place..." Zhou Ke said as he patted the little girl\'s head.
"Oh!" Ah Ning nodded and didn\'t ask anymore.
She walked to the sofa, picked up the remote control, and turned on the television.
The television began to play a cartoon.
Zhou Ke walked to the kitchen and looked at the cuttlefish and octopus in the aquarium tanks on both sides.
He slowly peeled off his face and let the imprisoned tentacles and mouthparts come out for some air.
In his eyes, he couldn\'t help but recall this trial.
That was really a terrifying ancient battlefield!
Several ancient outer gods had fought there, and the aftershocks had shattered the galaxy.
There were countless old gods that were born because of the battle between the outer gods.
Even he had a narrow escape from death to complete the trial.
Fortunately...
All the effort was worth it!
He finally understood what was needed to become an outer god?
Rules!
How to control and occupy a rule!
However...
These were not important!
Zhou Ke pasted the human skin back onto his face and tried his best to suppress the violent and crazy thoughts in his soul.
He knew that he only had one thing to do now.
That was...
Be ready to make whatever the ruler liked to eat at any time.
Be on standby at all times!
… …
Xiao Man held her sword and strode into Qingshan Town.
This once prosperous city had long been dilapidated.
The houses had basically collapsed.
The road was covered with weeds, and one could vaguely see some bones in the weeds.
She carried her sword and walked in the midst of it.
Those distracting thoughts and remnant thoughts were still disturbing her, requiring her to use a portion of her strength to resist.
Therefore, she had actually lost her sense of hearing.
She could only look at her eyes and soul to sense the enemy.
Soon, she sensed a distorted Divine Soul coming towards her.
She leaped up lightly and saw a cloud of dust flying in the alley ahead.
A huge deformed monster was running in her direction.
\ 'Ghost Demon\'!
Xiao Man recognized it at a glance. It was the largest and most destructive monster among the Shura!
This type of Shura was the creation of the Heavenly Demons.
The Heavenly Demons used a terrifying magical artifact called the\ 'Heavenly Demon Furnace\' to throw the body of a great demon into it and then stitch it up again. During the stitch process, the Heavenly Demons would stuff multiple Shura in.
Because the Heavenly Demon Furnace was an evil artifact forged by the Heavenly Demons in the void.
Therefore, the Shura that were stuffed in this method could not leave the body of the\ 'Ghost Demon\'.
On the contrary, the Heavenly Demon\'s intelligence was erased by the furnace.
Only the craziest desire was left.
Although there was only one Ghost Demon.
But...
Xiao Man knew that every Ghost Demon had an Asura that was in charge of different actions.
Some controlled their movements, some controlled their battles, and some controlled their eating.
Moreover, the souls and flesh of humans or demons that were devoured by these monsters would not be digested by them.
The Heavenly Demons would come to retrieve these things at regular intervals.
Therefore, behind every Ghost Demon was a crazy and powerful Heavenly Demon!
In the disaster of the fall of the sky, the Heavenly Demons swept through the world.
The Ghost Demons were the thugs of the Heavenly Demons, used to clean up the mortals and towns of the mortal world!
Legend had it that the Ghost Demons were Shura that were chased back to the void from the mortal world.
The Heavenly Demons were very dissatisfied with them, so they stuffed them into the bodies of the Ghost Demons.
They made them their servants and thugs.
Fortunately...
The stitching process was too painful for these things, so they had already lost their intelligence.
Otherwise, Xiao Man would have left by now.
Because these Ghost Demons were too strong!
They were so strong that they were almost on par with the Heavenly Demons!
Xiao Man looked at the monster that had been stitched up and rushed towards her at high speed with its four deformed legs.
She smiled.
If it was in the past, she would not be able to do anything to such a monster.
Because this thing had thick skin and flesh. Unless it was a cultivator below the Core Formation stage, it was impossible to break through its defense.
And once a Core Formation stage cultivator appeared, the Heavenly Demons would immediately sense it.
This made this kind of thing almost the most destructive Shura monster in the catastrophe of heaven and earth.
However...
Xiao Man looked at the soul fire on her blade. She knew that her soul fire liked this kind of simple crazy monster the most.
Thus, she faced the monster and rushed over.
The soul fire on the long sword in her hand was singing loudly.
When she was less than fifty steps away, Xiao Man suddenly threw out the long sword in her hand.
The sharp sword that was stained with soul fire cut through the air.
The Ghost Demon's head, which seemed to be a combination of the head of a cow and the head of a deer, raised its head. Its few turbid eyes looked at the sword that was thrown at it in confusion.
With its simple intelligence, it could not judge what was going on.
But its instincts told it that it was very dangerous!
So, it immediately dodged instinctively.
However...
At such a close distance, it was not enough for its deformed body to react!
Even if it could, it was not an Asura that was in charge of judgment and action.
So, the long sword that was stained with soul fire accurately pierced its skin.
It only penetrated an inch into its skin and gently hung on its huge body.
The eyes of the Ghost Demon clearly showed a puzzled look.
But its simple intelligence was not enough for it to understand the seriousness of the situation!
So it continued to run at high speed.
However, its body was burning with raging flames!
The soul fire quickly ignited the fat in the demon corpse.
It also ignited the two Asuras that the Ghost Demon used to fight.
The soul fire spread rapidly.
The entire Ghost Demon burned in the raging flames.
Turn it into a running, burning monster.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...
The air was filled with the strong fragrance of meat and stench.
Xiao Man resisted her instinct to vomit and walked forward.
The ghostly demon had already collapsed in a collapsed courtyard.
Soil and stones fell on its body, but the flames were still burning.
In the burning flames, one after another, ghost-like shadows were rolling in the flames.
They were being burned!
They would be burned to ashes!
Watching the flames slowly extinguish, bits of soul fire flew towards Xiao Man under the incantation.
With the return of these soul fires.
Xiao Man's face suddenly became pained.
She felt the pain of that great demon when it was thrown into the Heavenly Demon Furnace in the void by the Sky Demons.
Every inch of its skin seemed to be crushed, and every bit of flesh and blood seemed to be ground to pieces.
She squatted down in pain.
Faint traces of blood appeared on her face.
The colorless flames spinning in her pupils became even more vigorous.
And in her ears, the painful wails and screams of despair were endless.
There were also all kinds of reluctance and attachment.
These reluctance and attachment were... those Asuras!
Xiao Man clenched her fists and bit her lips.
Until her lips were bitten and her nails were embedded into her flesh.
However, this physical pain could not be compared to the heavy blow to the mind.
Because...
Xiao Man clearly tasted the thoughts of living beings from these broken thoughts and remnant thoughts!
That was the reluctance of living beings to part with life before they died.
That was the resentment of living beings kowtowing a thousand times in front of God, but still unable to fulfill their wishes!
That was the pain of living beings losing their loved ones!
These remnant thoughts were the lowest thing in the Asura's divine soul.
It was something that could still exist after being smelted by the Heavenly Demon Furnace, sewn into the demon corpse, and then burned by the soul fire!
In other words, this was the essence of the Asura!
