Chapter 197 Inner Demon
-
Seven months later.
"Tick-tock, tick-tock,"
As the blood dripped, ripples continued to spread around the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower.
Seeing that he had absorbed the nutrients and calmed down, Guan Xun couldn't help but furrow his brows.
In recent days, she has infused the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower with blood beads no less than a hundred times, and she can feel that the stronger her cultivation, the faster and more obvious the repair effect will be.
Staring at the petals that were originally incomplete, with only the tips of the small petals not fully grown, she carefully observed the movements within a hundred miles. After confirming that she had not noticed anything unusual, she suddenly flipped her hand, which was wrapped in crystal spiritual power, and blasted it directly at the barrier outside the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower.
A muffled thud rang out, and the barrier vibrated a few times, but showed no signs of breaking.
"Still not working?" Guan Xun clicked his tongue, looking somewhat troubled.
After more than half a year of cultivation, following the mastery of her ice-attribute technique, she has also broken through to the mastery of her fire-attribute and wood-attribute techniques.
The crystal-clear spiritual power that emerged under such circumstances was powerful enough to contend with even several True Monarchs, yet it could not break through the barrier set up by the Imperial Tutor.
It was like punching cotton; the barrier remained intact, showing no sign of anything amiss.
Speaking of which, I haven't encountered the Imperial Tutor since that night. When I first tried to break the barrier, I was on guard against being discovered.
They tried again and again, but no one appeared. Could it be that she went into seclusion? Or did she know she couldn't break through and was just watching the show from the sidelines?
Guan Xun clenched his fist and withdrew his hand.
No matter what, she had to find a way to break this barrier...
Just then, a faint cracking sound interrupted her thoughts. Her gaze sharpened, and she saw that the previously invisible barrier next to the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower had actually developed a small crack.
Overjoyed, she unleashed her spiritual power once more.
However, there is no longer any sign of it breaking.
Guan Xun took a deep breath. Almost there. It seems he was just a little short.
If all four attributes are mastered, the spiritual power gathered will surely be able to break through the barrier in one strike!
but……
The reason why the first three types of cultivation techniques can be mastered so quickly is because they have already practiced them in their previous lives and have experience.
Knowing how to avoid going astray and making no mistakes.
However, the cultivation techniques of the dark attribute are different. The Dark Night Technique is divided into three volumes: upper, middle, and lower. Each volume is further divided into five sections. After consuming the ancient Fiery Phoenix Beast Pill last time, she has only reached the third section of the lower volume.
Even in his previous life, he only cultivated to the second stage of the middle volume.
The further you progress, the harder it becomes to cultivate, which is one of the reasons why she chose to cultivate other techniques first.
Furthermore... Dark attribute cultivation is inherently the easiest to go astray and become possessed by evil spirits, and the Dark Night Technique is the strongest technique, but also the most unstable.
The advantages and disadvantages are extreme. If one's mind wavers even slightly during cultivation, one will inevitably fall into the chaos of inner demons.
To be honest, Guan Xun didn't want to cultivate this technique in a place where she couldn't be 100% sure it was safe. With Chi Rong gone, there was no one to protect her, which was a very dangerous situation.
She gave Tianying Chanhua a deep look, her brows furrowing involuntarily. After a moment's consideration, she flapped her wings and turned to fly towards the snowy region outside the barrier.
We've been here long enough, and the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower is almost completely restored. What will happen after that is all unknown...
She didn't have much time left. She only believed half of what the True Lords said. If she wanted to leave this place, she would have to rely on herself.
Regardless, she had to have a backup plan.
……
After spending several days filling his storage ring with beast cores, Guan Xun finally returned to the peak of the Heavenly Immortal Snow Lotus.
He swirled the dark flames around his body several times to prevent attacks from demonic beasts before spreading the beast cores and snow lotuses around him.
"Life goes on and on..."
As she murmured, green spiritual energy surged forth, splitting into strands that weaved through the surrounding objects, then levitated them around her.
The mist continued to rise, and the vapors were being refined.
Seeing this, Guan Xun no longer hesitated. He sat cross-legged, regulated his breathing, and secretly formed hand seals. The energy he refined rushed towards her and was absorbed into his body...
Time passed day after day, and the blizzards in the snowy region continued.
The green mist that originally surrounded Guan Xun had been replaced by clumps of black mist at some point.
They were spinning rapidly, and even though they had no shape or form, their speed of movement showed that they were extremely impatient.
A constant whooshing sound, like the wind, filled the air, and as it absorbed more and more energy, the mist became increasingly chaotic.
Guan Xun's face was scrunched up, his whole body was soaked in sweat, and his hair was so wet that it clung to his cheeks and dripped water, as if he had just come out of the water.
Her lips were pale, and she was groaning intermittently, looking extremely pained.
"Ah!" He gritted his teeth and finally couldn't help but scream out in pain.
At the same time, a powerful force erupted from her body, with a muffled bang, sweeping outwards in all directions!
The swirling black mist was blasted apart, and in an instant, it seemed to be drawn back by something, rapidly gathering together and colliding violently.
The air suddenly became murky, making it difficult to see anything.
"Crack! Bang!!!"
Accompanied by a loud bang, several eerie iron chains formed from black smoke intertwined, locking Guan Xun firmly in place.
Guan Xun felt a jolt throughout his body, followed by a moment of mental confusion. He felt as if he had fallen into an abyss and lost his balance, his body plummeting downwards!
Before her eyes, black and white alternated, and she tried to reach out and grab them, but she could never touch them.
After several breaths, my eardrums made a whooshing sound, and my hearing became instantly crystal clear.
However, before she could react, the sound of a strong wind howling reached her ears, followed by the sounds of a spiritual attack.
dangerous!
Her heart skipped a beat, and she abruptly opened her eyes.
What came into view was the tip of the sword, which was almost touching her brow; its cold gleam dazzled her eyes.
Guan Xun's pupils contracted sharply, a red light flashed in his eyes, and his spiritual power surged out. He leaned back and retreated rapidly.
With a swift turn, her skirt billowing as she kicked the incoming sword with tremendous force.
"Clang!" The blade was kicked away violently.
She glanced around casually, stopped on a hillside to the side, and then quickly surveyed her surroundings.
Surrounded by clouds and mist, the four peaks stand tall.
The familiar surroundings made Guan Xun's blood rush to his face, his head feel hot, and his heart pound.
Realizing something, she quickly looked down and saw through the clouds a deathly black expanse below.
The perilous Black Sea, surrounded by four peaks...
This is the realm of the heavens!
What happened?! Wasn't she cultivating in the snowy region? How did she suddenly return here?!
And nothing has changed here.
Has she been reborn?
Or is it that...rebirth was just a dream?
"Uh..." Guan Xun's thoughts were a bit jumbled up, and his head started throbbing with pain.
Suddenly, a smug laugh rang out: "Hehe."
Her heart tightened, and she looked in the direction of the sound.
A figure landed on the opposite peak, her red dress swaying and her waist-length black hair flowing in the wind.
The girl had a smile on her face, a red dot between her eyebrows, phoenix eyes and peach lips. Behind her, a giant python coiled around the peak and continued upwards, with several heads reaching out to her side, flicking their tongues and staring at her menacingly.
Upon seeing the incredibly familiar face before him, Guan Xun's pupils constricted sharply, and an uncontrollable surge of violence welled up within him.
"Official remedy".
"Sister, why do you act like you haven't seen me in ages? Look..." Guan Qi casually pointed downwards, grinning brightly, "This is the burial place I've chosen for you. Do you like it?"
