Chapter 115 Controlling the Killing Aura
Yang Podi ignored the Shrek Academy students and wanted to go home as soon as possible.
The killing intent within him is becoming increasingly uncontrollable, especially after killing some soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. He seems to be more easily lost and less able to control himself.
After traveling for four or five days, Yang Podi finally returned to the Po Clan's encampment and breathed a sigh of relief.
When Yang Podi knocked on the gate of the Po clan's residence, the guards seemed to find it strange that someone would come to visit so late.
However, when the guards saw Yang Podi's face, they were immediately shocked: "Podi, why did you suddenly come back? What happened to you?"
Yang Podi suppressed his excitement and said, "I'm fine. Go and tell my parents and grandfather that I'm back."
Upon hearing this, the guards quickly opened the door and let Yang Podi return to his family.
After returning to his clan's territory, Yang Podi did not rush back to his own home, but instead went to his grandfather's alchemy room.
Before long, his grandfather Yang Wudi, his father and mother arrived at the alchemy room.
Yang Wudi carefully examined Yang Podi's body, his expression extremely grave. His parents stood anxiously by his side, especially his mother, Niu Jinfeng, who seemed on the verge of tears upon seeing Yang Podi's current state.
At this moment, Yang Podi was dressed entirely in black, wearing a black hat, and seemed somewhat afraid to see people.
Moreover, Yang Podi seemed to exude a strong bloody aura, and even getting close to him was somewhat terrifying, as if he were a wild beast that only knew how to kill.
After examining his grandson's body, Yang Wudi's expression was very solemn: "Podi, the murderous aura you exude must have come from the City of Slaughter. It seems you have obtained the God of Slaughter Domain, but you did not return to our family immediately. Recently, you have probably been using drugs to suppress the murderous aura in your body, which has made the murderous aura increasingly difficult to control."
"I have also seen Tang Hao's God of Slaughter Domain, and even what he looked like when he obtained the God of Slaughter Domain. To control the killing energy in one's body, it will take at least a year, and at most three to five years."

"Furthermore, it's best not to kill anyone during this period, and even more so, not to entertain any thoughts of killing."
Mother Niu Jinfeng looked worried: "Dad, what's the current situation with Po Di? Is there anything we can do to help him? I'm a little scared seeing him like this."
Yang Wudi's expression was very solemn: "Back then, Tang Hao controlled the God of Slaughter Domain and the aura of slaughter by relying on his sister Tang Yuehua's noble domain. I'm afraid we can only use this method to help break through the enemy."
But before Yang Wudi could continue, Yang Podi interrupted him: "Grandpa, please don't! Our Po clan has finally managed to get rid of the Haotian Sect, and we absolutely cannot have any more dealings with the Haotian Sect."
Before Yang Wudi could even speak, his mother, Niu Jinfeng, said directly, "Podi, these are all adult matters. Don't think about it so much. At worst, I'll go and beg Tang Yuehua to make sure you get better."
Yang Podi suppressed the murderous aura within him and said, "Mom, I really have my own methods, and I don't need Tang Yuehua from Haotian Sect to help me at all."
Grandpa Yang Wudi also seemed resolute: "What can you do, child? Tang Hao was over 30 years old when he obtained the God of Slaughter Domain, and it took him countless hours to fully control it. You are only 17 years old now. Whatever happens, we old guys will help you."
"Grandpa, I really have a way."
"So what's your plan? What do you want to do?"
"I remember there's a large open space on the hill behind us. Could you please arrange for someone to tidy it up as soon as possible? Just a small, separate house will do. Remember, the surrounding area must be absolutely quiet. Also, please prepare plenty of paper, pens, and books for me."
Mother Niu Jinfeng asked doubtfully, "Po Di, is this really okay? Will it effectively help you control the killing intent within you?"
"Mom, don't worry, my method will definitely work."
Niu Jinfeng, Yang Podi's mother, wiped away her tears and finally agreed: "Podi, I will personally go to the back mountain to build you a small house. Just bear with it for now, you should get better soon."
Yang Zhentian, Yang's father, quietly looked at Yang Podi and asked, "Podi, is there anything else you need me to do for you?"
Yang Podi thought for a moment before speaking: "Dad, could you please inform my team members from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy that I have returned safely and that they should not worry, as I will return to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy as soon as possible?"
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy tomorrow. You can rest assured and recover without worry about anything else."
The next morning, Niu Jinfeng, the old woman, had already built a small house on the back mountain overnight. The house looked very small and stood alone in the mountains.
When Yang Podi arrived at the small house, he immediately felt that it was somewhat unusual. The entire house was not built with stone, but with ordinary trees.
However, the house is quite well-equipped, with a large desk and writing table, a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom, and even a large bathtub. All the water used is spring water, and there is even a small well dug behind the house for daily use.
Yang Podi, on the other hand, came to this small house alone and began his life of controlling the killing energy.
The killing aura was actually due to the sheer amount of killing involved. This new aura had been integrated into his blood and marrow. In addition, the entire killing aura was enveloped by the special divine power of the Asura God, and this Asura divine power had also been integrated into his blood and marrow.
In the original novel, both Tang San and Tang Hao used Tang Yuehua's noble ring to control their killing intent.
This method is indeed good, but it actually relies on external forces. Through Yuexuan's etiquette training and Tang Yuehua's innate domain, one can achieve a peaceful state of mind.
Yang Podi's idea was completely different.
When it comes to cultivating one's mindset, how can Douluo Continent compare to the 5000-year heritage of Blue Star?
Although the Douluo Continent has developed for countless years and formed various cultivation methods and even major cultivation families, it is more like a primitive society where everyone pursues power and almost no one considers things like spiritual realm.
On the contrary, Earth, despite having only 5000 years of culture, far surpasses Douluo Continent in terms of the cultivation of people's qualities and mindset.
Among them, Buddhism and Taoism are the most famous. Buddhism is most famous for two things. One is the "Bodhi Verse" written by Huineng, the sixth patriarch of the Chan school of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty. It is intended to explain that all conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows. It teaches people not to have delusions and attachments, so that they can understand their own mind and nature and realize Bodhi.
"Bodhi has no tree, the bright mirror is not a stand; originally there is nothing, so where can dust alight?"
Although it consists of only 20 simple characters, it is a rare and profound saying in Buddhism.
In Buddhism, there is an even more prestigious text called the Heart Sutra.
"When Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was practicing the profound Prajnaparamita, he perceived that the five aggregates are all empty, and thus transcended all suffering and distress. Shariputra, form is not different from emptiness, emptiness is not different from form; form is emptiness, emptiness is form. Sensation, perception, volition, and consciousness are also like this..."
The Heart Sutra, also known as the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, consists of only 260 characters. It elucidates concepts such as the Five Aggregates, the Three Realms, the Four Noble Truths, and the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination, explaining the Buddhist doctrine of the emptiness of inherent existence. It posits that Prajna can liberate one from all suffering, lead to ultimate Nirvana, and attain the fruit of Bodhi. This thought is considered the core of all Prajna teachings, hence the name "Heart Sutra."
As for Taoism, its main content is the Tao Te Ching.
The text of the Tao Te Ching takes the philosophical concept of "Tao Te" as its guiding principle, discussing the ways of self-cultivation, governing the country, using military force, and nourishing life. It is mostly political in nature and is known as the study of "inner sage and outer king". The text is profound and comprehensive, and is hailed as the king of all classics.
This is the highest classic of Taoism and also the highest realm of spiritual cultivation for humankind on Earth.
The core Buddhist philosophy is that emptiness is form, while the core Taoist philosophy is "the Tao follows nature." Regardless of the school of thought, once a certain level is reached, one can completely control the killing energy within their body.
In the time that followed, Yang Podi completely transformed into an ordinary person and never thought about cultivating.
Every day, I spend my time planting flowers and tending to grass in the mountains and forests. Sometimes I would stare at a tree or a blade of grass for half a day, completely oblivious to the struggles in the outside world.
He spends the rest of his time writing and reading in the house.
The books I was reading weren't about cultivation; they were just simple anecdotes and stories about human nature, as if they had nothing to do with cultivation.
Every day, Yang Podi would write a lot of words, and the content he wrote was very simple, including the "Bodhi Verse", the "Heart Sutra" and the "Tao Te Ching".
When thirsty, drink some spring water; when hungry, take some grown vegetables, cook them directly, and eat them.
His life was very simple and monotonous; he seemed to have become just like an ordinary farmer.
Time flies, and almost a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this year, Yang Podi underwent a tremendous change. The murderous aura he once possessed had vanished without a trace, replaced by a gentle demeanor.
From any perspective, Yang Podi looked like an ordinary person. There was no fluctuation of soul power on him. Everything about him was like the Buddhist concept of emptiness, or the Taoist principle of following the natural way.
Especially when you're in the mountains and forests, you feel completely integrated with them, without any sense of incongruity.
Throughout the year, Yang Podi wrote countless times, and it seemed as if he had naturally merged into the realm of the Tao Te Ching.
Especially in terms of mindset, he has almost reached complete perfection; there is no hatred, no murderous intent, and no ambition whatsoever.
There's also the issue of soul power. During the two years in the City of Slaughter, even though Yang Podi didn't cultivate at all, the City of Slaughter was like a huge simulated environment, especially the Hell Slaughter Arena, which was more like a natural battlefield prepared for the Soul-Breaking Spear.
After two years of slaughter in the City of Slaughter, Yang Podi's soul power reached level 58. However, at that time, Yang Podi's soul power was extremely violent and seemed to be on the verge of going out of control.
During his year of living alone, Yang Podi did not engage in any cultivation; instead, he focused on comprehending nature and the scriptures.
However, during the process of comprehending the natural world, his soul power increased by two levels. Everything seemed to happen naturally, as if water had flowed into a channel, and his soul power was exceptionally strong.
That day, Yang Podi looked at the valley where he had lived for a year, at the lush trees around him, and at the small house where he had lived for a year, and seemed a little reluctant to leave.
But in the end, Yang Podi gritted his teeth and left this peaceful environment.
A peaceful life is certainly desirable, but it often requires one's own strength to maintain. Without strength, one is merely a lamb to the slaughter.
Yang Podi did not want to be a beast of burden, but rather a master who controlled nature, so he left the valley where he had lived for a year without hesitation.
