Chapter 148: The Trial of the Heart Demon? No, it's quantum entanglement.

The light blade is as smooth as jade, but its restrained edge seems to be able to cut off cause and effect.

Xiaobai weighed the new weapon and was very satisfied. Who knows how it was so magical that a part of it was separated out. It was incredible that it was at least stronger than the crazy male sword spirit next to him.

[Young Master, Young Master, look at me, look at me, what's so good about this broken blade, it doesn't even have any spiritual awareness.]

The ball of light transformed by the twin sword spirits was still frantically trying to make its presence known, like a large dog seeking praise.

Xiaobai glanced at it with disdain and walked away.

Leave it where it is and continue to go crazy.

Outside, the water curtain clearly reflected the entire process of Xiaobai passing the final trial and obtaining the Starlight Blade.

The elders in charge of supervision have long been unable to sit still.

"Is this woman...really an ascender from the lower realm?"

"His character, understanding, and combat power are all top-notch."

"That casual sword dance, I can't even see through the mystery behind it."

"In any case, he is a rare genius. We must pay attention to him."

Whispers spread among the elders, and the eyes looking at the water curtain were full of amazement and scrutiny.

However, Xiaobai, the protagonist in the water curtain, was unaware of the commotion in the outside world.

She has already stepped into the so-called second level.

The solemn ruins of the sword tomb are no longer before my eyes.

Instead, there was a calm pond.

The water in the pond is so clear that you can see the bottom, but it also reflects countless images, like millions of mirrors superimposed on each other.

[Eh? This is the Yingxin Pond.] The twin sword spirits finally calmed down a bit and floated over to explain, [This level is specially designed to illuminate the inner demons of cultivators. Many people fail at this level. What is your inner demon, little master?]

noob:"……"

Inner demon?

That’s it?

She pouted her lips, feeling a little speechless.

The creativity of this trial in the upper world is just so-so, not as interesting as the secret realm she had explored in the lower world before.

"Tsk, nothing new."

She muttered something and walked to a pool of water.

Curiously, he leaned over and looked at the water surface.

The clear water surface reflected her delicate little face, her big eyes blinking, full of innocence.

Apart from that, there is nothing.

Let’s change the angle.

Or was there just her own adorable little reflection.

[Eh?] The twin sword spirits were also stunned, [No... no inner demons?]

This is unscientific.

Yingxin Pond has an extremely strong power to reflect souls. Even the slightest distracting thought will be magnified. How could there be nothing?

At the same time, the elders outside were completely furious.

"What's going on? Yingxin Pond has no reaction?"

"Could it be that this woman's mind is so clear that she doesn't even have a trace of inner demon? Wow."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Even if she is the reincarnation of an ancient great being, she can't be so pure and flawless. What's more, her entry information shows that she is an ordinary person who ascended from the lower realm."

"Hiss, this talent is so terrifying."

For a moment, all kinds of speculations came one after another, and the eyes looking at Xiaobai had changed from looking at a "talent" to looking at a "monster".

Xiaobai doesn't care what those old guys outside think.

She was feeling bored and was about to find a place to continue sleeping when she caught a glimpse of a figure not far away from the corner of her eye.

It’s Jing Gan.

He stood quietly beside another pool of water, his eyes blank as he stared at the water, his breath disordered.

Obviously, he had fallen into an illusion.

Xiaobai moved closer out of curiosity.

[Young Master, what do you want to do? ] The twin sword spirits asked cautiously.

【Let’s go in and take a look.】 Xiaobai said as a matter of course.

[Ah? No, no.] The twin sword spirits hurriedly stopped them, [This is the inner demon illusion, an independent space generated based on the reflection of one's soul, outsiders cannot enter at all.]

[Unless...] It paused, [Unless your spiritual sense is strong enough to crush the illusion itself, or he himself allows you to enter.]

[Look at those elders outside,] the twin sword spirits pointed to the void above (although Xiaobai couldn't see it), [they could only see Daoist Jinggan standing there in a daze, with nothing showing on the water curtain, because his spiritual consciousness was too strong, and the illusion could not be manifested to the outside world.]

Xiaobai nodded thoughtfully.

I see.

Why don’t you try it and find out?

She stretched out her little hand and gently touched the rippling water in front of Jing Gan with her fingertips.

[Hey! Little Master, don’t…]

The twin sword spirits had not yet finished their words.

The scene in front of Xiaobai suddenly changed.

The surrounding was no longer the tranquil Yingxin Pond, but a deep and icy pool.

The air was freezing and the water was as dark as ink, seemingly swallowing up all light.

[What the hell?] The voice of the twin sword spirits exploded in her mind, full of shock and disbelief, [How...how did you get in? This doesn't fit the setting.]

Xiaobai ignored the noisy sword spirit.

She looked around.

In the illusion, Jing Gan was still standing by the pond, staring at the water with empty eyes.

The surface of the lake water began to refract a strange colorful halo.

In the halo, a blurry figure gradually became clear.

She was a thin little girl, wearing old, ill-fitting clothes, holding a scabbard soaked in dark red blood in her hand.

The girl raised her head and a sad and strange smile appeared on her pale little face.

"elder brother……"

Her voice was ethereal and filled with endless resentment.

"They are all dead..."

"Father, mother, clansmen..."

"Why are you the only one alive?"

"Brother...why do you live alone?"

Jing Gan's body trembled violently, his eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot, and the pain and struggle almost tore him apart.

Xiaobai frowned slightly.

It turns out to be this inner demon.

The pain of the genocide of the Zulong clan and the early death of his sister were enough to trouble his heart.

Can't let him get stuck in it.

Xiaobai's mind moved, and he quietly took out a yellow talisman from his storage ring.

The little hands flexibly folded the talisman paper into a small paper boat.

Just give it a gentle push.

The paper boat carrying the power to dispel delusion slid silently towards the center of the cold pond.

Just at the moment when the paper boat touched the water surface in the center of the pond.

The water surface was like a calm lake with a stone thrown into it, rippling with strange circles of waves.

It’s not ordinary water ripples, but more like quantum bubbles that are constantly appearing and disappearing?

A strange phenomenon occurred.

Jing Gan on the opposite side suddenly came to his senses.

The bloodshot in his eyes faded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he regained some clarity.

However, the next second.

He turned around suddenly and locked his eyes on Xiaobai.

That look was no longer filled with confusion and pain, but with cold murderous intent!

whoosh!

Jing Gan's figure flashed and instantly appeared in front of Xiaobai.

The big hand mercilessly pinched her slender neck.

"evildoer."

His voice was low and hoarse, filled with deep hatred.

"You slaughtered my entire family and dared to appear in front of me."

"Die for me."

noob:"!!!"

What's going on?

Was the talisman used incorrectly?

[This is bad.] The twin sword spirits exclaimed, [Young Master, the Delusion-Breaking Talisman seems to have confused your perceptions.]

[Now in his eyes, you are the inner demon in the reflection, the immortal who massacred the city and the clan. ]

(Note: It is assumed here that Jing Gan's inner demons, in addition to his sister, also have a deeper hatred object related to genocide. The interference of the Delusion-Breaking Talisman caused cognitive confusion, and he mistook the "foreign object" Xiaobai in front of him as that hatred object.)

A feeling of suffocation came.

Jing Gan's power is so strong that even if it is just a projection of power in an illusion, it is definitely not something Xiaobai's small body can withstand.

Xiaobai was forced to close his eyes.

Seal the five senses.

Don't let his murderous intent interfere with your judgment.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, chaotic energy surged.

The chaos flute, which was neither gold nor jade and was always by his side, suddenly glowed and turned into a condensed sword intent.

Although there is no physical sword, the sword intent can penetrate the body.

Use finger to represent sword.

Xiaobai's neck was being pinched, but his little hands were carving at the empty space at the bottom of the pool at an extremely tricky angle.

The tip of the sword moved rapidly at the bottom of the invisible pool.

A Bagua pattern with a complex structure and full of rebellious meaning took shape in an instant.

Reverse the Bagua and reverse the Yin and Yang.

At the same time, the small talisman paper boat floating in the center of the pond suddenly caught fire without any fire!

But the flames did not move upwards, but collapsed inwards.

The burning talisman paper did not turn into ashes, but floated in the air, and the "ashes" particles after burning began to rearrange themselves.

Finally, it condensed into a blurry shadow with flashing scarlet pupils.

Is that a deeper aggregation of fear and resentment?

What was even more astonishing was that with the formation of the reverse Bagua and the appearance of Fu Hui's phantom, the entire cold pond began to fluctuate violently.

The lake water no longer reflected Jinggan’s sister, nor the vague shadow of the genocide.

Instead, it is like a kaleidoscope, refracting countless parallel fragments of time and space.

Xiaobai resisted the feeling of suffocation, and "saw" those scenes through his spiritual perception which became clearer after closing his five senses. In one scene, Jing Gan fought bloody battles, but eventually died of exhaustion, and his dragon soul was shattered.

In one scene, Jing Gan chooses to escape and lingers on, but he carries the regret and pain for the rest of his life, and his spiritual heart collapses.

In one scene, Jing Gan succeeded in his revenge, but was also consumed by hatred, fell into the evil path, and was eventually abandoned by heaven and earth.

There are seven different scenes.

Struggle, destruction, and pain in seven different parallel endings

Xiaobai's heart sank suddenly.

It turns out that his inner demons are far more serious and complicated than he imagined.

This is no longer a simple illusion, but a collection of countless possibilities of failure.

The force on my neck became tighter.
