Chapter 69 -65 Facing the Six Demons!

Meanwhile, while absorbing the Spiritual Essence, Li Ping’an had to follow five key principles:

Distance: what is meant by ‘distance’ is to keep far rather than near, suggesting with one’s consciousness towards distant places such as the horizon, the sky, or the core of the earth.

Continuity: as for ‘continuity’, it signifies that actions should be continuous without interruption, and thoughts connected without lapse.

Flexibility: with ‘flexibility’, it is meant that the degree of conscious movement should not be rigid, but appropriately moderate.

Evenness: ‘evenness’ refers to maintaining a uniform speed, not too fast or too slow.

Joy: ‘joy’ suggests that one’s mood should be joyful rather than worried, smiling inwardly without losing oneself.

Having done so, Li Ping’an suddenly gave a muffled grunt. Upon the entrance of the Spiritual Essence into his body, he felt a fierce flame igniting abruptly within his viscera, a scorching flame that burned his Essence, Qi, and Spirit along with the Spiritual Essence, leaving him completely wilted.

The burning sensation generated a warm current that was almost imperceptible, which began to circulate throughout his body, spreading across his organs, flesh, and bone marrow.

Mana! New Mana had appeared!

In the mental attribute template, the section for Mana directly increased from 4 to 20.

But he couldn’t get too excited yet, he had to keep the inner joy without losing his composure.

After nearly two hours, the mental attribute template remained unchanged:

Critical Hit Rate: 5%, Critical Hit Combo: 0%, Damage Bonus: 0%, Damage Reduction: 0%

Four Disasters Resistance:

Cold Immunity: 0%, Fire Immunity: 0%, Poison Immunity: 0%, Lightning Immunity: 0%

“Now that I have new Mana, I can use spells without any restraints!”

Seeing that the subsequent absorption of Spiritual Essence could no longer be converted into Mana, Li Ping’an ceased his efforts. What he did not know was that, while he was absorbing Spiritual Essence and converting it to Mana, in the real world, his body had risen into a meditative pose and ascended into the air, and it was only when he stopped absorbing the Essence that he slowly descended.

All of this was witnessed by his roommates Jiang Liuer, Zhu Ganglie, and Sha Sheng, who were just as silently unresponsive and expressionless as they had been when they watched Li Ping’an from the upstairs during midday.

Upon standing up in the world of “Black Myth: The Fated One”, Li Ping’an saw that the moon had set and the sun had risen, without him being aware of the dawn in the east.

As soon as he stepped down, his body shook and dead skin flaked off profusely, revealing not only clean skin but also a translucent and firm texture. Despite having cultivated all night, he felt not the slightest bit of fatigue; on the contrary, he felt refreshed and invigorated, like a man renewed.

Although his body was not tired, his stomach was extremely hungry; every part of his body, every drop of blood, was crying out in hunger.

He had only walked a few steps when hunger caused his spirit to sag and his limbs to weaken; all he wanted to do now was to eat, to fill himself with food and restore his strength.

With a click, Li Ping’an pushed open the door with difficult steps. Sunlight struck his eyes and the noise filled his ears, making the world seem different to him now.

“Servants, hasten to light the fire and prepare the meal, make extra food today!”

The Second-in-command, the Third-in-command, and a bunch of underlings had already been waiting outside the door. At Li Ping’an’s call, they helped him to the Hall of Righteousness to wait for food.

As soon as the meal was served, Li Ping’an did not wait for Zixia or Night Traveler Muqiang Baoshan; he began to eat on his own.

He devoured the food ravenously, like a starving ghost reincarnated. The food that was prepared for three was completely consumed by Li Ping’an alone.

“Prepare more food—we want good wine and good meat!”

Li Ping’an called out, and his brothers promptly brought over many dishes.

The second-in-command and the third-in-command, the Blind Man, looked at Li Ping’an and were astonished to find that after only one night, he seemed as if a starving ghost had taken over his body. Worried, they said:

“If the Gang Leader keeps eating like this, he will soon eat our stronghold into ruins!”

As Li Ping’an was eating, Zixia strolled in and sat down opposite him, also indulging in the delicious food.

“You…”

Li Ping’an glanced at Zixia and noticed that her cultivation had also improved overnight. Out of curiosity, he asked:

“Congratulations to Master for the great progress in cultivation, but I’m curious how you managed to break through to the Qi Gathering Realm in just one night?”

Zixia lifted a cup of simple wine and said with a slight smile of pride:

“Your master had a grand battle with the Night Traveler, Muqiang Baoshan, yesterday. Although I was injured during the fight, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. While healing, I had a moment of enlightenment, which led to this windfall.”

Seeing Zixia’s proud and exuberant expression, Li Ping’an took a bite of beef and hurried to flatter her:

“As expected of my master, truly impressive!”

“Hahahaha!”

Zixia, hearing this, was even more pleased with herself:

“Don’t be anxious, my disciple. In a few days, I will impart to you the cultivation methods of the Qingyun Sect!”

“Do I even need you to pass it on? I’ve already learned it myself…”

Li Ping’an murmured softly, afraid that Zixia might be embarrassed.

Before long, the Night Traveler, Muqiang Baoshan, also came in to eat. It seemed his injuries had mostly healed, and like Zixia, he appeared to be in good shape.

After Li Ping’an, Zixia, and Muqiang Baoshan had finished their meal and rested for a while, they set off for Five Fingers Peak at the Wu Hour, under the watchful eyes of the Axe Guild brothers.

The Five Fingers Peak, where the Six Demons dwelt, is one of the five peaks of Five Fingers Mountain. One could pass over any of the peaks, but the descent could only be made from the location of the main peak. According to Muqiang Baoshan, the Six Demons resided right in the middle of the main peak of Five Fingers Peak.

One two-hour period later, Li Ping’an, Zixia, and Muqiang Baoshan finally arrived at the main peak of Five Fingers Peak. They saw:

In the distance, the mountain range was steep and rugged, with layer upon layer of peaks. Nearby, the water murmured, trees offered shade, and waterfalls cascaded from the heavens. The mountains and water reflected each other, creating a beautiful picture.

It might not be a cave heaven blessed with immortal energy, but it was certainly a paradise on earth.

“Master, this particular spot of Five Fingers Peak is such a great place. How could demons have come to be here?”

Li Ping’an purposely walked beside Zixia, gesturing towards the distant scenery with one hand while slipping the Mountain God Body-Protection Talisman into the backpack Zixia was carrying with the other.

“Who can say?”

Zixia immediately turned around and looked at Li Ping’an, who was admiring the Happy Mountains and Rivers, and said seriously:

“Ping’an, this isn’t a place to fool around. The Six Demons of Five Finger Mountain could appear at any time, and you must be very careful!”

Muqiang Baoshan added:

“This Five Fingers Peak is where the Tathagata Buddha Ancestor suppressed the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, five hundred years ago. For hundreds of years, there were no demons. I’ve been here countless times, and their sudden appearance now seems to be for the purpose of catching someone!”

Li Ping’an wasn’t concerned, as he was simply looking for an excuse to insert the Mountain God Life-Protecting Talisman into Zixia’s bag. Now that his task was complete, he immediately said earnestly:

“I understand, Master. I will focus my attention, act cautiously, and not be careless!”
