Fantasy: I Am the Villain.

Chapter Eighty-Four Harvest

It is said that Bai Ke took this futon from his own cultivation chamber. When he was packing his belongings, he thought the futon was quite comfortable, so he brought it along.

Now that Bai Ke has basically adjusted his mindset, he is no longer the ignorant cultivation novice he once was, and naturally he is aware of the preciousness of this futon.

You should know that among cultivators in the Mountain and Sea Realm, if there is anything that everyone, from powerful beings undergoing tribulation to those who are just starting out in cultivation, fears, it is naturally the inner demon.

Inner demons are strange things. They are formless and intangible, and have no harm to ordinary people, but they are the natural enemy of cultivators.

In daily cultivation and training, inner demons often take advantage of weaknesses. Those who cannot withstand them will naturally die and their cultivation will dissipate, while those who can withstand them will make great progress in their cultivation.

Some senior figures in the cultivation world speculate that this inner demon may be a remnant of the ancient cultivation world, because according to the records unearthed, in that ancient cultivation world, there were demonic sects that used Heavenly Demons to entice people's souls.

After the fall of the ancient cultivation world, a new cultivation system began to emerge. Although the division of cultivation realms was still the same as that of the ancient cultivation world, the specific operating mode was quite different.

The reason why the names of cultivation realms were not changed was simply to let future generations remember that there was once such a brilliant era.

Bai Ke transmigrated from Earth. Although he doesn't know what this world is all about, he thinks that inner demons might not be the so-called heavenly demons in the cultivation world.

After all, the two things are vastly different in ability. The Heavenly Demon is a tool to bewitch people's minds, while the Heart Demon seems to be a test deliberately set up by heaven and earth for cultivators.

This might be a little hard to understand, but to put it in Bai Ke's words, it's like when you're playing an online game, and whenever you reach a level nine, the experience you need to accumulate to level up is often several times that of the previous levels.

In the world of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Bai Ke noticed that the old monk sweeping the floor had also mentioned inner demons. He said that Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo did not practice Buddhism, and their accumulated resentment could easily form inner demons and create demonic obstacles.

The Buddhist teachings are quite different from those of their Tian Ce Palace. In Bai Ke's understanding, among the three top sects in the Mountain and Sea Realm, Tian Ce Palace leans towards Taoism, while Qian Fo Temple, as its name suggests, belongs to the Buddhist lineage.

However, they all end up in the same place. For cultivators, inner demons are something they often try to avoid at all costs. Therefore, anything that can help them clear their minds and resist inner demons is often something that is hard to come by.

Bai Ke is currently at the peak of the Yuan Shen realm. When he comprehends the laws of heaven and earth, he must be even more vigilant against inner demons taking advantage of his weakness. What a cautious person Bai Ke is! Even when comprehending martial arts, he still takes out this calming futon as a precaution.

As soon as he sat down, Bai Ke felt as if a clear stream was rushing from his tailbone to the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, which felt incredibly comfortable.

Moreover, another wonderful use of this calming meditation cushion is that it can enhance the user's enlightenment to a limited extent. Enlightenment, being a metaphysical thing, is too arbitrary.

It's quite common for people to be slightly less effective than usual when their minds are clouded or influenced by other things in a particular place.

Just like Bai Ke's previous life, those painters and artists often went to places with beautiful scenery to sketch. This is the influence of the environment on people, and it can also be applied to people's understanding.

In some martial arts novels, characters may experience a sudden and rapid improvement in their martial arts skills due to extremely strong desires or emotions such as love, hate, and grudges.

These are all signs of their understanding, which are enhanced for some reason. Of course, under normal circumstances, excessively strong emotions and desires can lead people to extremes.

The cultivators of the Mountain and Sea Realm, standing on the ruins of the ancient cultivation world, have developed a complete cultivation system after thousands of years of exploration.

The best state of cultivation is a state of mind free from distractions and as still as a calm well, also known as the state of mind of fetal breathing.

Fetal breathing, as the name suggests, is breathing like a baby in the womb. Fetal breathing in the mind refers to imitating the confused state of a baby. Only in this way can the connection between man and nature be strongest.

Sitting cross-legged on the meditation cushion, Bai Ke felt his mind was clear, and the figures on the stone wall seemed to be practicing martial arts right in front of him.

Starting from number one, Bai Ke observed and comprehended the following events. Gradually, Bai Ke, along with the futon beneath him, floated up, seemingly unaffected by any force, and floated quietly in front of the stone wall.

Bai Ke roughly examined the contents on the stone wall, which included the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand and the Tianshan Six Yang Palm, as well as countless other martial arts styles.

Bai Ke took a closer look at the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand and the Tianshan Six Yang Palms. He had been extremely interested in the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand when he read Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils in his previous life.

According to Tianshan Tonglao, the Tianshan Zhemei Hand is a set of palm techniques similar to the Dugu Nine Swords. It can counter any move, become stronger when facing a stronger opponent, and is also the supreme method of disarming an opponent with bare hands.

It consists of three palm techniques and three grappling techniques. It was created by Tianshan Tonglao based on the incomplete martial arts carved on the stone wall, combined with the cultivation methods of the Xiaoyao Sect, and then copied onto the stone wall.

The mysterious martial arts recorded on this stone wall are mostly strange and powerful, but most of them are incomplete. If one rashly practices them, no one knows what will happen.

The Heavenly Child Granny is truly a genius, worthy of being the senior disciple of the Free and Unfettered Sect. Through the combined efforts of both, she created a palm technique comparable to the Nine Swords of Dugu, which is truly admirable.

The Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand is known for its complex and varied moves. The deeper the user's internal energy, the stronger the effect. For example, Xu Zhu absorbed the internal energy of Wu Yazi and his two fellow disciples, and was able to disarm his opponents in battle.

Using his Nascent Soul Realm spiritual power as a guide, Bai Ke actually generated a suction force in his palm. He felt as if if he increased his spiritual power input even slightly, he could forcibly pry the stone wall off the wall.

"This is quite similar to the Crane Control and Dragon Capture Technique..." Bai Ke chuckled, the Tianshan Plum Blossom Hand's ability to counter any move was not displayed because he had not fought against anyone.

Unexpectedly, his casual use of some spiritual power could achieve the effect of controlling cranes and capturing dragons. Compared with the object control techniques of the Mountain and Sea Realm, it was rather useless. In his disappointment, Bai Ke had even higher expectations for her counterattacks.

Although he only told Xu Zhu that he wanted to learn the Tianshan Zhemei Hand of Lingjiu Palace, since Xu Zhu had led him to this stone wall, he probably wouldn't mind learning more.

The reason Bai Ke thought this way wasn't because he was greedy. After all, he was just an ordinary person before, and now that he could systematically learn combat skills, he would naturally put his heart into it.
