17 Chapter 17

"Buddha is good for those with good wills and more devil for those who're evil." Wei Xiaodan repeated the word inside his head, and suddenly thought of something. "Maybe it means that Buddha has two faces then! If not, what else would it mean? Buddha is good for those with good will, and devil for those who're evil…. If so, it'll be like Yin Yang then. But Buddha was a god, only in the story that he wasn't…. Oh…. Wait…. That!!" 

Wei Xiaodan suddenly recalled the story his father used to tell him when he was young, "Buddha was a pure human who reached nirvana through his effort alone. He despise gods and didn't want to rely on them because they thought humans can't do anything with their fragile bodies so he climbed the tallest mountain in the world wearing a monk outfit and sandals alone, stayed there for years without eating and when he descended from the mountain, his body was brimming with golden aura and he had breakthrough the humanity's limit, shaking the gods and making them angry."

"Could it be…. It's really possible to make a breakthrough despite being a normal human being??" He wasn't even an ability user, so Wei Xiaodan didn't thought about it until now about breaking through humanity's limit. Even though he has the demonic hell flames now, the demonic hell flames couldn't exert its full capabilities since his body was a mortal. Unless he could make a breakthrough, only then would the demonic hell flames be strengthened. He didn't even know that he couldn't be even put into a normal human being category by now.

Wei Xiaodan thought about the content in the first page over and over. If he could make a breakthrough, today would be a good one. Without thinking too much, Wei Xiaodan sat down on the ground and started meditating. He circulated the demonic hell flames again, and began repeating the words embedded on the first page. 

"Buddha is good for those with good will and more devil for those who're evil."

As he kept thinking about it, months had already passed like a leaf falling down a tree. The demonic hell flames started forming a world inside his head where only they exist in an empty blue whitish sky. Also, at the same time, Wei Xiaodan continued saying aloud the content of the first page he had read whenever he forgets about the sentence. 

Since Buddha was good with good wills, would it mean he would never hurt them?

"No, it's impossible."

But how about the evil. Would he become a devil and come to purge them down.

"More likely the fact." Wei Xiaodan muttered to himself. 

At the end of the day, Wei Xiaodan came up with a conclusion. "Buddha will fight those good willed ones if there's a reason, but for evil, he won't show mercy and become the devil himself."

And suddenly, without even him knowing it.

The whole world seemed to brim in golden and dark aura, as the good willed and evil inside him, fused to each other. Instead of golden nor dark, the aura swirling around him as well as the flames turned gray. Could be evil, and could be good willed.

"So that's what it means…" Wei Xiaodan mutterred to himself as a smile suddenly formed in his face. Although he still wasn't happy that he still hasn't made a breakthrough, at the very least, his demonic hell flames seemed to have changed, but he didn't know the details about it despite the source of power being his own. 

Compared to the golden flames last time, the current demonic hell flames now were like a cloud that could cover the sun and become darkness. It was shrouded with mystery.

Wei Xiaodan tried out many things and realized his own body became stronger too. With the graduation of his demonic hell flames, his body had improved a lot. Although he couldn't get hungry, he felt like his appetite had risen, as well as his strength, speed and stamina which was good news.

Wei Xiaodan had already got used to counting days and times, and as far as he could remember, the end was nearing. Which end he meant is, Mevis returning to get him and see the results. But so far, he had only read the first page. Fortunately, when he flipped through pages, he didn't see contents in each, and at the very last, only a short sentence was written.

[The sky could be neither peaceful nor despair. Who knows, a meteorite could fall on one anytime. The land was either disaster or salvation. Could be used for refugees, and could also bring disaster of many deaths. Therefore, if sky and land become one, a calamity would befall.]

Wei Xiaodan read it over and over but still couldn't understand what it was supposed to mean. He just read it over and over while staring at it. And before he knew it, an unknown source of power made its way into his body and soon became part of his blood and mind.

"Primordial Heaven Defying Arts…. Why it's name was so long…" Wei Xiaodan was in hell, so the name of the cultivation art confused him. Although he had only realized it until now, how did the devil he met speak his language?

"Could it be, Mevis knew how to speak it?" From the way he could remember, Mevis' accent was really like his fellow countrymen so at first he didn't notice it, but wasn't it so strange that hell didn't have its own language despite being a civilization?" Wei Xiaodan thought of it over and over again before discarding such a thought. "Well, doesn't matter which anyway, but why the hell's the dark book was written in my language??" 

What truly confused him was why he could easily read the content inside the dark book, and from the way he sees it, it's even written in his own language, so he couldn't help but think for a second there that maybe the dark book really came from earth.
