The Unraging monk shook his head with a smile. "The human heart is mysterious and deep. Normally, it only shows the tip of the iceberg, and it's restrained by the customs of the secular world, making it even more unpredictable. Just Now, he's acting so viciously and brutally. It's no longer just for victory. Everyone has a buddhist nature in their hearts, but everyone also has a demonic nature. You can't deny that, can you, senior brother? "
"I won't deny it, but if his demonic nature really is unbearable, why would he be so lenient to that cannibalistic little demonfolk?" The Dauntless monk pointed out. Duoge currently had his head lowered, searching for the scattered demon hearts on the square.
The demon hearts were made of extraordinary materials. They were the only parts that could not be destroyed by Li Qingshan's sword qi.
"Perhaps he has always been suppressing the demonic nature in his heart," the Unraging monk said.
Even he found it to be rather unlikely. If demonic nature could be suppressed so easily, then the world would be filled with kindness. What was the point of the Demon Suppression Statuary then?
They never imagined that Li Qingshan was constantly using the Spirit Turtle's Method of Sea Suppression, a cultivation method even more wondrous and powerful than the Demon Suppression Statuary, to suppress the demonic nature in his heart at all times. Otherwise, he would have become a demon a long time ago.
… …
Little Ann stared at the "Demon Suppression statue" and shook her head before long, giving up on comprehending the Demon Suppression Statuary it contained.
"What, even you can't comprehend the cultivation method inside?" Li Qingshan asked curiously. He had never seen anything that could trouble Little Ann.
Little Ann said, "The statue has merged with the entire Demon Suppression hall. It's called demon suppression, not demon purging, which only demonstrates that the creator of the Demon Suppression hall did not do it for the sake of slaughter and torture, but for the sake of benevolence."
"The cultivation method inside should be for the demonic cultivators and descendants of demonfolk imprisoned here to suppress the demonic nature in their hearts, allowing them to return after they've lost their way. However, I don't have any demonic nature in my heart, so I can't cultivate it. "
Outside the Demon Suppression hall, the Dauntless monk and the Unraging monk exchanged glances. They were both surprised. In just a moment, she had understood the purpose of the Demon Suppression hall. Including the function of the Demon Suppression Statuary. It was truly unbelievable.
All those years ago, all the cultivators of the Devil Dao that were imprisoned in the Devil Suppression Hall were formidable figures that ran amuck through an area. Because they possessed an extremely strong devilish nature in their hearts, they had the opportunity to comprehend the path of repentance from the Devil Suppression Statuary.
However, they did not believe her when she said, "I don't have any demonic nature in my heart", but she was clearly speaking to them.
"I understand why you're so cautious, senior brother." The Unraging monk shook his head gently. The smile on his face vanished for the first time.
At such a young age. With such intelligence, the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga obtaining a disciple like her was either a great blessing or a great disaster.
"Chen", "Demon Saint", she, ",", "Demon"..
"Chen,", ",", ",", ",", ",", ",", ",", "", of, "", "", "),", ". "," ",", "," of "of" of "of),", of) ",".
The Path of White Bone and Great Beauty could be regarded as a path from buddhism to the demonic. It could be described as the exact opposite of the Demon Suppression Statuary. In her heart, there had never been any demons that could be suppressed, but Li Qingshan was different.
"Suppressing demonic nature. I wonder if I can use it to suppress the ox demon and tiger demon?"
Li Qingshan thought of something. After reaching the fifth layer of the Ox Demon Transformation, he often felt like he was struggling to suppress it. Forcefully suppressing it took quite a lot of effort. If he could learn the Demon Suppression Statuary, he wondered if he could obtain some assistance.
And, the grade of this cultivation method did not seem low. At the very least, it was much better than the Arts of the Boundless Ocean. Those bald donkeys had casually locked them up here as a test. Learning a cultivation method like this was not exactly a bad harvest.
Li Qingshan circled around the "Demon Suppression statue" before turning around. With his back to the statue, he probed it with his soul sense. He changed his posture. He assumed the exact same posture as the Demon Suppression statue.
He probed the Demon Suppression statue with his soul sense. In the beginning, he did not sense anything special. Thinking about what Little Ann had said, he tried relaxing the spirit turtle's suppression on the ox demon and tiger demon slightly.
In that moment, his expression changed. His eyebrows rose, and his eyes widened as he raised his head and gazed at the empty space. His lips were pressed firmly into a line.
The ox demon's demonic nature was unshakable. The tiger demon's demonic nature was surging with viciousness.
He spread his thickened arms, and his muscles bulged. His chest let out a soundless roar, as if he was clashing with an invisible enemy.
Duoge, who was currently picking up demon hearts and stuffing them into his mouth, leapt in fright. He took a step back and collapsed on the ground. His mouth hung wide open, forgetting to swallow the demon hearts. He stared straight at Li Qingshan, feeling an urge to bow down and worship him.
Originally, although Li Qingshan had saved him, he did not feel any gratitude. There was no such thing as gratitude in the hearts of demonfolk. Only "good people" knew how to repay a debt of gratitude.
After learning Li Qingshan was a human, he feared his strength and said a lot of "praise", but that was not what he thought inside. In particular, after Li Qingshan expressed his kindness to him, he found it strange. He believed humans were just as baffling as the legends described them to be.
But in that moment, Duoge was filled with sincerity, prostrating himself on the ground like a monk worshipping an eminent monk of great virtue.
"The venerable truly is a demon among humans. Even those Demon Generals are nowhere close to him. He's already so powerful without a demon heart. If he obtains a demon heart and becomes a demonfolk, wouldn't he be even more powerful?"
"This is!" Even with the Dauntless monk and the Unraging monk's mental fortitude and cultivation, they were surprised right now. How could he possess such a powerful demonic nature as a mortal!?
The demonic nature in Li Qingshan's heart was so powerful that it was beyond anyone's imagination.
Even the gods and buddhas were unable to enlighten the ox demon's stubborn persistence. The tiger demon's will to battle the world was like a madman.
The demonic nature of demonfolk seemed powerful, emotionless and ignoring all morals, but that was only because they had been infected by their demon hearts.
The so-called demonic nature that had been instilled with their thoughts twisted was as feeble as a maggot compared to the ox demon and tiger demon. They were essentially the same as the mortal worshippers who worshipped Great Buddha mountain, except that they had gone from believing in buddhism to believing in demons.
True demons could run amok and do as they pleased. With a single thought, they would have no regrets even if they died nine times over.
This was the "demonic nature" that Li Qingshan possessed. As for the various desires and killing intent, they were just byproducts. They could not sway his mind.
The Dauntless monk's face sank. He clenched his fists firmly in his sleeves. Such a heavy demonic nature was basically rare in the world. If he encountered this kid outside, he would basically throw caution to the wind and kill him on the spot!
He turned around and said to the Unraging monk, "Junior brother, if he doesn't comprehend the Demon Suppression Statuary, we can't let him leave the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga, no, the Demon Suppression hall."
The Unraging monk shook his head. "Senior brother, I know you abhor evil and have sworn to purge the world of evil for the sake of the buddha. However, even if our chan school emphasizes seeing one's true nature, since he hasn't committed any sins, how can we punish him because of the demonic nature in his heart?"
The Dauntless monk frowned. "You want to protect him?"
The Unraging monk dodged the question. All he said was, "Since he has such a demonic nature in his heart, yet he can keep it to himself, it's impossible unless he possesses supreme willpower. Perhaps he's the best person to practise the Demon Suppression Statuary, the fated person the Demon Suppression hall has been waiting for."
"That's not necessarily the case."
The Dauntless monk said that going from the path of kindness to the path of evil only took a single thought, but if he wanted to realize his error and repent, it was easier said than done. So many demonfolk and demonic cultivators had entered the Demon Suppression hall, yet not a single one of them had emerged with the Demon Suppression Statuary.
It could be said that the Demon Suppression hall had never been able to unleash the function that its benevolent creator hoped it could unleash. In the end, it was just a prison, a trial ground.
"Can he become the first person to practise the Demon Suppression Statuary in the Chan Monastery of Deva-Nāga for the first time?"
Li Qingshan carefully controlled the delicate balance between the spirit turtle and the ox demon and tiger demon, just in case he accidentally released daemon qi. The Dauntless monk did not seem like a soft-hearted person, but little did he know that just the demonic nature he gave off had made the Dauntless monk make up his mind to kill him.
At this moment, the Demon Suppression statue lit up slightly, shining with an unprecedented faint, golden light. The entire Demon Suppression hall trembled gently.
It was exactly within this struggle and hesitation, between suppression and release, that the will hidden within the Demon Suppression statue coincided with it.
The Unraging monk's eyes lit up. "That's right. Sure enough!" The Dauntless monk eased up slightly.
Li Qingshan locked onto the Demon Suppression statue firmly with his soul sense. He could vaguely sense the existence of something inside, like a form of comprehension, but also like a scripture. However, a barrier remained. A while later, the Demon Suppression statue dimmed, and Li Qingshan's body eased up.
"Amitābha. Sure enough, it still ended in failure?"
The Dauntless monk brought his palms together and chanted the buddha's name softly. However, the Unraging monk knew that this was the Dauntless monk making up his mind to purge daemons.
Li Qingshan asked Little Ann, "What do you think?"
"Doesn't really seem like it."
"Really? I also feel like something's missing? "
The will in Li Qingshan's heart did not completely match with the will in the statue. Instead, it deviated slightly, which was why he was unable to obtain the Demon Suppression Statuary from the Demon Suppression statue.
He sank into his thoughts for a while before turning around to face the statue and saying quietly,
"There's a powerful demonic nature in my heart, but I'm not in pain. I don't want to beg for anyone's help, nor do I want to mend my ways and completely erase this demonic nature. If this demonic nature doesn't exist, Li Qingshan will no longer be Li Qingshan."
Suddenly, he bellowed out, "No matter what you're hiding, hand it over!"
The Demon Suppression statue suddenly erupted with unprecedentedly resplendent light, as if all the light in the entire Demon Suppression hall was gathering towards it.
The light reached the limit, and its eyes shone with two streaks of golden light, landing in Li Qingshan's eyes. Li Qingshan shuddered all over as if he had been struck by a powerful blow. He took a step back, and an image suddenly appeared in his head, constantly spinning around. It was the Demon Suppression statue before him.
The first form of the Demon Suppression Statuary, Initial Repentance of the Demon Heart.
Although he was born a demonfolk, he had tasted the taste of love. He felt regret for his past actions. As a result, he wanted to break free from the restraints of his demon heart and develop his own will.
However, gradually, the image of a male demonfolk transformed into the image of Li Qingshan. There was no pain in his expression, nor was there pleading. There was only pride and determination. He did not feel regret for anything he had done in the past.
