Chapter 30: You Are the Devil!

As promised, after joining Aquatic Dao, all the best conditions were ready for little Aria.

Big brother, thank you for helping me.

Since the two people's caves were quite far apart, Aria had no choice but to come and say goodbye to him.

Nathan looked down at Aria's small and skinny body and couldn't help but feel sympathy in his heart. He gently patted her head.

Your enigmatic physique ensures a warm welcome wherever you go. That's the treatment you should have! Oh, I see. Why do you desire to cultivate at such a tender age? Where is your family?

He was very puzzled as to why Aria's family would let her go all the way to the Mountain of Emptiness to learn Dao.

Hearing Nathan's question, Aria's eyes welled up with tears.

My house is in Blossom Village, Guankou County, Kunlun Mountain. Three months ago, a group of cultivators unexpectedly arrived in the village. They slaughtered numerous individuals, causing damage to nearly the entire village.

Aria's words were like thunder in Nathan's ears, making his whole body tremble. Wasn't this the place Mia said she found him? It was just a mortal village; who would be so cruel as to do such a cruel thing?

They claimed they were from the Wilson family. Because Nathan had provoked them. They first killed Uncle Yao and Auntie Yu, then started searching the entire village.

Aria burst into tears, making Nathan's whole body numb. After a long while, he let out a cry of indignation that echoed across the mountainside.

Wilson family! You and I will die—or else!

Yue'er was still sobbing.

I was born late, so I didn't get to meet Nathan. I heard from the uncles in the village that Nathan-ge was a very pitiful person, abandoned by his parents, and his mind was only like that of a three-year-old child. How could such a person offend the Wilson family as a cultivator?

Nathan silently held her in his arms. Obviously, the Wilson family couldn't find him, so they wanted to vent their anger on Blossom Village. No matter how you put it, he himself was the main cause of this matter, no matter how you put it.

Everyone despised Aria from birth because of her black eyes. Only my uncle in Blossom Village showed me kindness, which motivated me to cultivate revenge.

Aria's gloomy eyes were filled with tears; hatred caused the demonic energy in her body to surge, making Nathan move. Immersing her in hatred at such an early age was not beneficial.

Good day, little sister. I'll assist you in taking revenge. But you have to promise me to live well and happily, at least until adulthood, understand?

He patted her head. She was the only girl from the same village in this strange world, and he had unconsciously considered her his only relative.

Why is Brother John so kind to me?

Aria looked at him blankly. I really don't understand why he is different from the bad guys who frequently bully me.

I'll tell you a secret; don't tell anyone else. I will keep this secret until I am still in Aquatic Dao!

Aria nodded, only to see Nathan bend down and whisper in her ear, smiling.

I'm Nathan, your foolish brother, whom I've never met before.

After sending the girl back to the cave, Nathan started to tour the new place.

The interior of this place is quite spacious, divided into four small rooms. One room is for alchemy; there is a low-grade futon and medicinal cauldron ready. One room is for practicing; it is extremely quiet, and there are also a few jade slips recording the first few levels of the Void God's cultivation method. Nathan's soul feels refreshed as a faint scent rises from the hot water pool in one room, infused with spirit liquid. The last room is used for resting.

Being a disciple of a great power is indeed not bad!

Nathan soaked in the spiritual spring and cleaned himself up before opening the jade slip containing the first few levels of the Void God Scripture to study.

truly miraculous!

The Void God Scripture asserts that the three poisons of greed, anger, and ignorance conceal a powerful "divine spirit" within each person's heart, preventing its manifestation. One must utilize meditation and visualization to extract the embryo of the divine spirit from the ego, employ spiritual power to shape it into a mold, and ultimately undergo seventy-seven, forty-nine days of refining the divine spirit under intense flames to transform it into a true incarnation.

This technique is very similar to the process of forging magic treasures, as well as somewhat similar to how the Great Dao cultivator recorded his own cultivation mark.

Nathan sat cross-legged and focused on contemplation. He attempted to set aside all distracting thoughts, using his thoughts to search for his true "self."

According to the ancients' experience, a cultivator's body has three most important parts.

The sea of bitterness is located in the Dantian, containing the spiritual liquid condensed from spiritual power, representing the power of cultivation.

The sea of consciousness resides in the middle of the forehead, where the soul hides.

The heart's sea is where the "self" exists. This self is incomparably miraculous; it is what allows the soul to remain immortal even after countless lifetimes. Breaking the sea of hearts also implies losing the qualification for reincarnation.

Nathan's thoughts flew into the sea of consciousness, and he searched continuously for three days before finding the location of the sea of heart. After using the Void God Mind Technique to break the great gate blocking the Heart Sea, his thoughts began to enter it in an attempt to find his true self.

The ancient jade is here, huh?

Nathan was extremely surprised when the mysterious ancient jade turned out to be always floating in the Heart Sea. Nathan attempted to use his thoughts to control the jade, but was unsuccessful.

In the end, what realm must I reach to control you?

Sighing, his thoughts continued to wander in his own heart, discovering many more interesting things.

Unexpectedly, the space inside the Heart Sea was as vast as the starry sky, going on forever without seeing the end. This sudden realization sparked a doubt within him:

Could it be that the universe is located in a strong person's heart?

His thoughts were like those of a wanderer, constantly exploring his own heart. Finally, after seven days, he successfully found himself sitting cross-legged in a corner at the end of the heart sea.

The ego is exactly like Nathan's; the aura is extremely pure, completely untainted by the dust of the world.

The Void Spirit needs to communicate with the ego, making the ego cultivate this cultivation method. Is there any danger?

After much hesitation and checking to make sure there was nothing wrong, he began to communicate with the "ego" that was sleeping soundly.

Under his control, the ego, still with its eyes closed, began to wave its hands in strange movements, sometimes forming seals. Its entire body shone with countless golden rays of light, giving it an extremely magical appearance.

As the ego cultivated, Nathan's physical aura also became stronger and stronger; the pores of his entire body opened up crazily, sucking the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into the Qi Condensation.

The sea of bitterness is forty-four thousand zhang.

The sea of bitterness is forty-five thousand zhang.

The growth didn't stop until the spiritual liquid started condensing the first deity in the Qi Condensation into the form of Nathan.

Refining a god embryo resulted in an expansion of the sea of suffering by two thousand zhang. The reason it was so little was because his cultivation was already too high, surpassing the support ability of the god. Unless he refined it for the fifth god, the effect would be more obvious.

Nathan withdrew his thoughts, letting his ego continue to sleep soundly. After observing the god embryo sitting cross-legged in the sea of suffering, he couldn't help but sigh.

I can't believe a cultivator who hadn't attained the Great Emperor level could have created such a miraculous work!

At this moment, the door to his cave shattered, and three individuals filled with murderous intent entered. The leader was none other than Sam, who had previously been slapped. The remaining two men were quite unfamiliar; one had a cultivation level of fifteen thousand zhang, while the other was stronger, just shy of breaking through the twenty thousand zhang boundary.

Sam pointed his finger straight at Nathan's face, speaking with hatred.

Brother Miles Patterson, he was the one who sneak-attacked me!

The man, Miles Patterson, spoke coldly.

Do you even dare touch the Evan family? I see you don't know how to write the word death!

The man, who had cultivated a sea of suffering worth nearly twenty thousand zhang, smiled and said to Sam:

It's just a stinking ant; wave your hand and crush it to death. Sam is Aria's younger brother; I will come forward to protect you on her behalf!

Nathan was taken aback, unsure if these individuals were sick enough to seek him out for mischief. When he read fairy tales, he often encountered brainless characters who consistently caused trouble for the main character, mistakenly believing that these characters only existed in stories. Now that he had the opportunity to meet them, he realized that the term "brainless" actually existed.

He smiled bitterly.

Right now, you all turn around and flee. I am still occupied; I do not have the time to engage with you.

Nathan really didn't want to take action against these brainless people. They would just beat one up and drag another one in, creating a never-ending cycle. If they were to become involved, they would need to defeat them thoroughly, force them to flee, or even massacre their entire clan in order to break free from the entanglement. Right now, he didn't have such a strong killing intent.

- Run?

Miles smiled wryly. This was the first time he'd seen someone who was about to die and still advised his opponent to run.

Insolent, stinking ant, kneel down for me! Otherwise, I'll throw you into our sect's latrine and suppress you for a year!

Unaware that a great disaster was about to strike, the person who had cultivated a sea of bitterness worth nearly twenty thousand zhang burst out with pressure and simultaneously uttered threatening words.

Nathan's expression abruptly shifts from tranquility to fury.

You, you...

Miles felt that something was a bit wrong. From the body of the bearded young man in front of him, it was as if a ferocious beast from the prehistoric era had awakened and was about to attack and tear him apart.

- Run!

The individual harboring nearly twenty thousand zhang of bitterness screamed, turned around, and ran straight to the entrance of the cave.

Sam, what kind of monster have you provoked?

Sam saw Nathan's aura burst out and seal the entire cave entrance, and he knew that this was over, shedding no tears.

He just joined the sect; how could he have such a terrifying cultivation?

Let's risk it!

The three of them shouted loudly at the same time, sacrificing all their magic treasures to resist, but before they could even circulate their spiritual power, Nathan grabbed their necks and threw them to the ground. Nathan didn't even need to use his magical powers; he simply beat them savagely.

The most miserable was the one who endured a sea of suffering worth nearly twenty thousand zhang. Nathan sat on his chest and repeatedly struck him in the face with his hair, causing him to scream each time.

"You son of a bitch, you dare to scare me!"

"Since I was born, who has dared to scare me? I will immediately beat him to death."

"You want to imprison me in a toilet for a year?" Where is Aquatic Dao's toilet? If you don't tell me, I will beat you to death!"

Nathan punched him again, causing his teeth to fall all over the ground.

"Stubborn! You dare not talk! I will hit, I will hit!"

Punches with a sea of suffering cost twenty thousand zhang, distorting his face to the point where he could no longer recognize a human.

Just as Nathan was getting excited, he heard Miles lying flat beside him, crying.

Big guy Wade didn't have time to answer you, and you punched him in the mouth repeatedly. How could he tell you?

Nathan was taken aback and halted, sensing that he had gone too far. He grabbed Wade Nelson's collar and shook him.

Hey, tell me where Aquatic Dao's toilet is.

But after a few hundred punches, Wade had already fainted; blood covered his face, rendering it unrecognizable.

Nathan coldly snorted and turned to Miles.

Did you see? He refused to answer me; I have to continue hitting him!

As Nathan raised his hand, both Sam and Miles cried out, their expressions extremely frightened.

- Demon!

You are a demon!
