Chapter 119 A Different Kind of Inner Demon Tribulation
The Jindan cultivator who had been locked down by the pressure before found that he could move, but after being able to move, he did not choose to attack Xu Weichen, but fled in the opposite direction without hesitation.
The few moments when he was unable to move were the closest he had ever been to death in his life.
Onlookers who don't know the truth might think that he dared not move because of the Suzaku Seal, but they don't know that he was oppressed and unable to move because of the terrifying pressure.
And this pressure came from the seemingly weak boy beside him.
Someone said before that Xu Weichen’s disciple was also here, and his cultivation was low. The cultivation level that the young man showed on the surface was indeed low, but -
Why did he feel that the pressure from this young man was more terrifying than Xu Weichen?
Cultivators generally trust their intuition. Xu Weichen's promotion to the Void Refining Realm may cause his sect to lose a lot of resources, but at least it will not endanger his life. However, if he insists on taking action against Xu Weichen, he may die.
So he ran away without hesitation.
"We've watched the excitement, it's time for everyone to go home. If you lose your life for watching the excitement, it will be a waste of time." Liu Yishu sat cross-legged beside Xu Weichen, playing with the Vermillion Bird Seal while speaking nonchalantly.
In the Suzaku Continent, no cultivator can compete with his domain, not to mention that the Suzaku Seal is still in his hands.
All he had to do was stay by Xu Weichen's side and wait for him to overcome his inner tribulation.
Liu Yishu acted so leisurely, and the Jindan cultivator who had just approached him escaped very easily. Comparing the two, no one dared to act rashly even if the cultivators present were unwilling.
For safety reasons, they hesitated and retreated dozens of miles, but only a small number of monks chose to leave, while most of the monks stayed here.
The tribulations that cultivators go through are divided into thunder tribulation and inner demon tribulation. Thunder tribulation tests one's cultivation, while inner demon tribulation tests one's state of mind. The damage caused by thunder tribulation is external and visible to the naked eye, while the damage caused by inner demon tribulation targets the soul. Both are equally dangerous.
However, for low-level cultivators, the damage caused by thunder tribulation is more obvious. If a cultivator cannot withstand the thunder tribulation, he will easily die. However, the inner demon tribulation will not kill a person directly. Therefore, in the minds of most cultivators, surviving the thunder tribulation is considered a successful tribulation. The damage that the inner demon tribulation can cause to a person is limited.
But such cognition is obviously narrow-minded. In fact, the higher the realm one advances to, the more important the test of the inner demon tribulation on one's Tao heart becomes. If one is not careful, at best one may go astray or even die, which is much more painful than being directly struck to death by the thunder.
Liu Yishu knew very well that the inner demon tribulation that Xu Weichen was about to face would be more terrifying than his nine-nine heavenly tribulations, because it was what it was best at, stirring up the weaknesses in people's hearts, magnifying them infinitely, and finally turning them into demons.
'It' will not let go of this good opportunity.
But 'it' cannot go too far. After all, if Xu Weichen dies in the Heart Demon Trial, the original body will most likely descend, which is something 'it' does not want to see. Therefore, 'it' will definitely let Xu Weichen survive the Heart Demon Tribulation, but it will also definitely lay hidden dangers.
Liu Yishu was very clear about this, but although he could find a way to deal with the thunder tribulation for Xu Weichen, he could not interfere with the inner demon tribulation, so Xu Weichen had to rely on himself to get through it.
Xu Weichen knew that he was going through a mental calamity, but this mental calamity illusion was too beautiful and he was reluctant to break free.
Taicang Mountain, Xiaoyue Peak.
The simple and quiet fenced courtyard has undergone a dramatic transformation, with lights and decorations all over the place, creating an atmosphere of joy.
The entire courtyard is decorated with red silk, and even the peach trees in the courtyard are bright red.
This was the scene he had imagined for a long time, the scene of him and Xiaoshu holding the bonding ceremony.
The small courtyard with fences is his home, and the only spectators are Chaoyang and Ye Yunhan. He and Xiaoshu have no parents or elders, so they can take the heaven and earth as their mirrors, and the sun and the moon as their same heart.
With the witness of the heaven and earth, he and Xiaoshu became Taoist companions and made a vow to never be separated for the rest of their lives.
On their wedding night, they were in perfect harmony and inseparable.
After that, the years were peaceful and quiet, with the same sounds like playing a harp and the harmonious rhymes like playing a lyre.
The inner demon tribulation is supposed to be the most feared thing in a cultivator's heart, but Xu Weichen didn't know if there was something wrong with his inner demon tribulation. This illusion was too beautiful and was a complete reflection of his and Xiaoshu's future life.
As he reluctantly left the illusion, there was still a smile on his face.
When I opened my eyes, I met Liu Yishu's concerned eyes.
"Master, are you okay?" Liu Yishu looked at Xu Weichen worriedly.
It was the first time he saw someone smiling while going through an inner tribulation.
There must be something wrong when something is abnormal. He leaned over, put his forehead against Xu Weichen's forehead, and his spiritual sense directly entered Xu Weichen's sea of consciousness.
The whole process was done in one go. Xu Weichen's sea of consciousness had no defense against him at all and accepted him directly.
In the sea of consciousness, the small courtyard with fences is peaceful and harmonious.
The scene in the sea of consciousness usually reflects a person's inner heart. Xu Weichen's sea of consciousness is so peaceful and there doesn't seem to be any problem.
"Xiaoshu, now that I have successfully passed the tribulation, should we choose an auspicious day to hold the covenant ceremony?" Xu Weichen asked impatiently.
He had always wanted to become a Taoist partner with Liu Yishu, and after experiencing the inner demon illusion, he felt even more eager.
In broad daylight, there was a group of cultivators watching from a distance. Liu Yishu felt embarrassed to stay in Xu Weichen's sea of consciousness for too long, so he quickly left.
"Okay." He agreed while handing the Vermillion Bird Seal to Xu Weichen, "Master, look, I got the little guy's Vermillion Bird Seal back."
Xu Weichen only glanced at the Vermillion Bird Seal and stopped paying attention to it. Instead, he looked at Liu Yishu and continued to ask, "How about holding our covenant ceremony at Xiaoyue Peak?"
Liu Yishu glanced at Xu Weichen and felt that his current state was a little strange. Why did he seem so excited?
And why did Xu Weichen keep emphasizing the covenant ceremony?
Liu Yishu was a little puzzled, but Xu Weichen's physical injuries were not serious, and there was nothing wrong with his soul. He had safely passed the refining calamity, so he was happy for Xu Weichen.
"Xiaoyue Peak is Master's home. If Master and I hold the covenant ceremony, it will naturally be at Xiaoyue Peak." He followed Xu Weichen's words and asked, "Then shall we go back to Taicang Mountain now?"
"Okay." Xu Weichen agreed with a smile, summoned Feiyu, reached out to hold Liu Yishu and brought him onto Feiyu, set up a protective barrier, and flew towards Taicang Mountain.
At the beach of Lost Hope, the cultivators held their breath and waited, thinking that Xu Weichen would say or do something after he had overcome his inner demon tribulation. However, after he woke up, he took his disciples and left directly, so they had no choice but to disperse.
However, with their departure, a powerful cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage was born in the Suzaku Continent, and the news of the change of ownership of the Suzaku Seal also spread. The attention of all cultivators shifted to Taicang Mountain, the sect where Xu Weichen was located.
As for the Suzaku Dynasty, although the God-Slaying Formation was broken and the Suzaku Seal was lost, during the time when Xu Weichen was overcoming his inner demon tribulation, the Red Flame Ancestor who had been missing for several days actually showed up in the royal city.
This development puzzled all the cultivators in the Suzaku Continent, especially those sects and families who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack the Suzaku Dynasty, so they had to suppress their eager thoughts.
