Volume 4: Nan Yue Creates Turbulence 0142 I Was an Ordinary Person

  A thirty-zhang-tall giant beast appeared in front of Fang Yun, with a green face and fangs, a pair of huge sharp teeth under its lower jaw, making it look particularly prominent. From head to toe, it was covered with dark and mysterious patterns, which looked like magma flowing under the skin.

  On its head grew a pair of huge bony spines, or rather, the skull was grown on the bony spines. Although its body was enormous, it looked very elegant and streamlined, with explosive power inside that could make any living creature tremble with fear.

  If it were just this huge body, it would still be unable to surprise Fang Yun, after all, there are too many strange beasts in this world that Fang Yun has not seen.

  However, what really made Fang Yun unable to let go was that the true body of Kaisan emitted an aura that actually carried a hint of demonic energy.

  This is the first time since Fang Yun was born into this world that he has sensed something, although it's very thin, but it can't escape Fang Yun's keen intuition.

  This wisp of demonic energy was not even comparable to the robust aura of the mountain, and seemed to be only a newly formed demonic energy.

  This is different from the demon class in the cultivation world. In the cultivation world, if a demon cultivates to the point of transformation, it must have already reached the point where its demonic energy is overwhelming. However, the demonic energy emanating from Kaisan seems so thin and weak. Or perhaps he simply isn't following the path of demons and monsters; this demonic energy was purely an accident.

  Such unexpected events are not uncommon in the cultivation world. Many cultivators also enter the cultivation world in a confused and disoriented state, just like some demons. Some accidental circumstances have given rise to a generation of demon kings, and this type of demon is even more numerous.

  There are human paths and demonic paths. In this world, humans have Dou Qi, magic that can be cultivated, allowing them to continuously rise and increase their own strength.

  However, the heteromorphic beasts do not have the cultivation methods of humans. The fundamental reason is that the cultivation methods are not suitable for heteromorphic beasts to cultivate. Even if it's a powerful tribe like the Fire Dragon, they can only rely on their own strong bloodline to grow and reach their current height.

  And bloodlines are formed from birth, it can be said that they have already been destined, even if they want to work hard, the effect is minimal.

  Only some high-grade elixirs might enhance their strength, and it was precisely because of this that Kai Shan revealed such an expression when he saw Fang Yun's Condensed Spirit Elixir.

  Perhaps the opening of the mountain is to find a thread of the demon's path, but this path is vague and difficult to ponder. What he lacks now is a direction, a direction that guides him forward.

  Fang Yun jumped onto the massive body of Kaisan, his palm gently enveloping it, and drew that thin strand of demonic energy into his hand.

  "Are you willing to take a path that your ancestors have never taken?" Fang Yun asked in a low voice.

  Kai Shan slightly stunned, then nodded: "For us these heteromorphic beasts, there has never been a path to speak of."

  He had no choice, the road was only one way, and he wouldn't doubt either. For friends and enemies, he always judged by feeling, and as a heteromorphic beast, this feeling was extremely keen. They could instantly judge whether they were an enemy or a friend, and this intuition was abnormally accurate.

  It was another three days, Kai Shan gathered his energy and sat cross-legged on the ground, while Fang Yun sat upright on a stone pedestal.

  For three days, Fang Yun had been explaining to Kaisan without interruption, leading him into the demonic path. However, Kaisan was like a chaotic void at first, only half-understanding what Fang Yun said. Although he wasn't very clear about it, due to Fang Yun's guidance, he felt as if he was dispelling clouds and fog.

  All the past feelings and unclear principles were suddenly clear when spoken by Fang Yun.

  Kai Shan was completely unable to extricate himself, and couldn't bear to interrupt Fang Yun's sermon. Fang Yun led Kai Shan like a guide, walking him onto an extreme path.

  What is a monster? It's not about stirring up trouble, harming innocent lives, overturning the sky and earth, or being brutal and bloody.

  What is called a demon is one who cultivates himself and transcends his own body, not being burdened by the mundane world, not being disturbed by external things, not being constrained by heaven and earth, and not being slackened by fame and reputation.

  The legendary demons and monsters that harm all living things are just some unknown people who spread slander against other ethnic groups.

  Even demons are not without emotions, even the Tao is not necessarily human in nature. Monsters and the Tao, different paths same destination, only the roads taken differ, ultimately still aiming to attain the Great Tao, transcending heaven and earth as the goal.

  Fang Yun spoke briefly, glanced at Xiaoyue who had been sleeping under the tree for three days, took a deep breath, and finally got up.

  "Are you leaving?" Kai Shan's words were tinged with a hint of reluctance and unwillingness to part, he still had too much that he didn't understand, too many things that he couldn't comprehend.

  In these three days, he had doubts, surprises, incomprehension, suspicions, and confusion. Each time he suddenly realized something, it made him feel enlightened, making him aware of his goals and his future.

  Before this, he had been muddle-headed, never thinking about his own future. From the moment he existed in this world, he was only for survival, fighting with other beasts and humans to exchange for his own future.

  But once he knew human nature, he no longer toiled for survival, because from then on, there was no creature that dared to provoke his existence.

  But after understanding human nature, he fell into a deeper confusion and chaos, what is the meaning of his own existence, where is his future?

  Humans, whether they are vulgar or noble, all have their own goals and their own future.

  And what about ourselves? Are we just for survival? Are we just fighting with other creatures?

  Until Fang Yun's guidance, he saw his future clearly. Sometimes the way is not some profound truth, but simple to the extreme, and it may not be the way for survival.

  Every cultivator has their own Dao heart, which is also the path that cultivators pursue. Fang Yun chose to enter the world a thousand years ago, with a hundred lifetimes of entering the Dao, experiencing all the hardships and joys of the mortal world, doing good deeds, and committing evil acts.

  He chose the mortal world for a hundred generations because Fang Yun regarded himself as an ordinary person. An ordinary person who enters the Tao must naturally go through the red dust, and if he cannot cross his own red dust tribulation, how can he become a thousand-year dream? The demon also has its own demon heart. A thousand years ago, the white snake was willing to be suppressed by the Thunder Peak Tower, and it had to be linked with Xu Xian to cross the red dust. That is her demon heart, she chose her own demon heart, and her own demon heart chose this Tao.

  The so-called Tao Xin and Yao Xin are just names, after all, they are different paths with the same destination.

  "Where is my way?" I asked vaguely amidst the confusion of opening up a mountain.

  Fang Yun smiled: "You ask me, and I ask who?"

  "Then I'll go with you, I want to leave this place." Kai Shan said.

  "Why leave?"

  "Of course I'm looking for my way." Kaizan said matter-of-factly, "I haven't found it yet, but I believe that by following you, I'll definitely find it."

  "Following me is fine, but you have a special identity. Since you want to enter the secular world, you must follow its rules and can no longer be as free and willful as in the mountains." Fang Yun warned.

  "If so, why go back? You can be free and at will here, why go back to be bound by worldly rules?"

  "This is my way, my way is in the world, I naturally have to return to the world. After all, I am still just a worldly person." Fang Yun smiled and replied.

  "Since you are a worldly person, then from today on I will also be a worldly person." Kai Shan said this with determination and righteousness.

  Fang Yun smiled bitterly, it seemed that he was indeed not a good teacher, especially an enlightening teacher, and his first disciple actually wanted to become an ordinary person.

  "It's okay to be ordinary, there's nothing wrong with being ordinary, no need to always wear a moral high hat." Fang Yun's eyes rolled around: "Since you're following me, I'll give you a name, Kaishan, from now on, you'll just drift away with the wind. From today on, you'll be called Fang Su, and you'll address me as Young Master. In front of outsiders, you are my servant."

  "Mountain opener muttered to himself: 'Common, common people are common, common is common people...'"

  "You carry her, follow me out of the forest." Fang Yun pointed at Xiaoyue under the tree.

  Fang Suo helped Xueyue up and put her on his back. The big one and the little one left the absolute boundary area in this way.

  However, Fang Yun may have thought from the beginning that he had only entered a danger zone, and Xiao Yue, who was careless, naturally didn't know that her carelessness would give birth to a legendary figure.

  Fang Yun gently touched Xiao Yue's forehead, sealing away her previous memories while creating a false one with his own divine intent to prevent her from revealing Fang Su's identity due to her young age.

  Just as the two stepped out of the forbidden zone, a huge figure suddenly appeared in front of them, Blood Python!

  A vast trial forest, one man and one beast met unexpectedly. The blood python now looks quite wretched. The lightning strike three days ago has left it still unrecovered, with many wounds remaining on its body.

  And since Blood Lotus was picked by Fang Yun, it could no longer wait for prey to come to its door like before, which made it somewhat unaccustomed.

  At this moment, his spirit was even more disheartened and difficult to rouse. However, the instant he saw Fang Yun, the memories of hatred were immediately stirred up again. His eyes instantly emitted a fierce glow, with a ferocious look that seemed to want to tear Fang Yun into pieces.

  "Master, do you want me to take care of him?"

  "No need, this is my feud with it. On that day, it used the Blood Lotus as bait, and I also snatched its Blood Lotus. It's a matter of cause and effect, but I'm not some kind-hearted person who will let things go, naturally I have to repay kindness and revenge grievances."

  Just a few days ago, he would have had to retreat in the face of the Blood Python, but now he was completely confident that his cultivation during the Condensation Period allowed him to confront any powerful opponent within the seventh rank.

  Although the Blood Python is extremely powerful, Fang Yun may not necessarily take it seriously.

  Since Fang Yun was going to take matters into his own hands, Fang Su naturally wouldn't say anything else and retreated a few steps with Xiao Yue on his back.

  Fang Yun took a few steps forward, walking with ease, looking completely relaxed, not considering the Blood Python as a threat at all, and not even considering it an opponent.

  At this moment, the Blood Python has only a strong body but no will to fight. It is completely acting on a sense of hatred. If Fang Yun were stronger than it, or if it knew that Fang Su was standing not far away, testing the Forest King, perhaps it would turn around and escape without hesitation, just like in the battle with the many instructors of the Ganan Academy a few days ago.

  "Now that you're here, don't think about leaving!" Fang Yun looked at the Blood Python and said in a low voice: "Five days ago, Cheng Ru's little servant girl's Cloud Leopard was swallowed by you, so I'll take you as my points!"
