Chapter 1360 The Demonic Inner Demon Scheme Was Over from the Beginning

Xia Fengxiang had just gotten down from Ajali's arms when he saw that scene. Without thinking much, he rushed towards the arena.

In the eyes

Only the husband, covered in blood and held up by his great-grandmother with one hand, had his breathing become inexplicably heavy, his mind blank, and he was completely devoid of his usual composure.

Snap!

Xia Mingqi had noticed his sister's arrival earlier, so he stopped her while whispering, "Grandma has her reasons, and brother-in-law is fine!"

Xia Fengxiang glanced at his brother, said nothing, and was about to push Xia Mingqi aside and rush towards the arena.

She didn't know why this was happening, but it didn't matter!

She wanted Su Chang'an to be alright!

However, how could Xia Mingqi let her go? He had clearly seen the commotion around the arena and his great-grandmother's ruthless attack. How could his pregnant sister go there now?

Meanwhile, Grandma noticed that Xia Fengxiang had also arrived.

However, she didn't even glance at him. Instead, she looked at Su Chang'an, who seemed to be unconscious, and a smile appeared on her lips. "This technique is truly remarkable!"

...

I can't breathe.

This is how Su Chang'an feels right now, and he can clearly feel that he is in the water.

It barely opened its mouth, and water rushed in instantly. It quickly closed its mouth and swam toward the light.

But it's as if there's no end in sight.

At this time.

A piece of silk suddenly appeared in front of him, and without hesitation, Su Chang'an grabbed it.

Wow!

The next moment, she was pulled out of the water by the silk.

"You were allowed to escape, so why did you still fight that person?"

Su Chang'an, who had just emerged from the water, heard a familiar voice and immediately looked up.

On the water, atop a white and pink apricot tree, sat a woman dressed in white, her long black hair casually tied in a bun, draped loosely over the curved trunk.

The woman rested her chin on her hand, her bright eyes looking at him helplessly.

"Don't you recognize me?" the woman smiled playfully.

Su Chang'an looked at the woman, but the words were on the tip of his tongue.

Hey~

Mo Yue glanced at Su Chang'an and smirked. She then gently raised her other hand, revealing the hilt of her long sword, Moon Palace, behind the tree trunk.

Wow!

But it's also the next moment!

Mo Yue leaned forward and slashed at Su Chang'an with her sword.

Su Chang'an was taken aback and subconsciously raised his hand, in which he also held a Moon Palace sword.

Clang!

Blades clashed!

Su Chang'an looked at Mo Yue, whose long hair flowed freely and who had a charming smile on her face, and asked in surprise, "Mo Yue."

Mo Yue was a little unhappy: "You're only calling me by my name now?"

As he spoke, the force on the blade suddenly increased.

Whoosh!

Su Chang'an fell directly into the water.

Moyue gently descended, standing barefoot on the water's surface.

After Su Chang'an leaped up, he also stood on the water and looked at Mo Yue with some surprise.

Mo Yue frankly admitted, "I hit you because I was unhappy."

Su Chang'an sighed helplessly, but looking at the Moon Palace in Mo Yue's hand, then at Mo Yue herself, he glanced around at this place he had only visited a few times, yet felt like a regular, and then at the woman who was both strange and familiar. "I thought it was you..."

Mo Yue pinched the Moon Palace between her thumb and middle finger, "You thought I disappeared?"

Su Chang'an nodded.

Mo Yue scoffed, "How could it have disappeared? It just reappeared. After all, that woman over there is dangerous."

Su Chang'an thought of his great-grandmother and said, "Yes, but great-grandmother."

At this point, Su Chang'an suddenly remembered the words his great-grandmother had spoken just before he entered this place, and asked, "Great-grandmother, it seems like I can sense your presence."

Mo Yue traced the moon palace between her fingers, creating ripples on the water's surface. Looking down at the ripples at her feet, Mo Yue said, "That's why it's dangerous."

After saying that, Mo Yue's dark eyes rippled like water on a surface: "Very dangerous!"

Su Chang'an said, "Although Grandma is indeed very unreasonable, she won't kill me."

Mo Yue tilted her head and looked at Su Chang'an: "Silly girl, that woman didn't want to kill you, she wanted to kill me."

Su Chang'an looked at Mo Yue.

Mo Yue squatted down, playing with the Moon Palace in her hand: "Or rather, the you that you killed."

Su Chang'an was somewhat confused.

Mo Yue stood up and walked towards Su Chang'an: "These things, I should have explained to you last time, but you immediately started the Demon-Crossing Technique and left as soon as it was over, so there wasn't enough time. Now, where should I even begin to explain them to you in detail?"

Mo Yue fell into deep thought, then suddenly looked up at Su Chang'an: "You remember, when you entered my memories, you saw my memories, didn't you?"

Su Chang'an nodded.

Mo Yue continued, "My master, because of the sect's cultivation techniques, eventually turned into a monster that could only kill people, and then I killed him too."

He said it casually.

But as Su Chang'an looked at Mo Yue, he recalled that when Mo Yue was at her most desperate, it was that woman who appeared and saved her, and it was she who gave her the fastest period of life.

Mo Yue glared at Su Chang'an unhappily: "Don't look at me like that. I'm not that sad about this. After all, the cultivation techniques practiced by my sect are flawed. My master and my grandmaster both thought they could overcome their inner demons, but they both failed. So, as her disciple, it's normal for me to kill her."

After saying that, Mo Yue gave a bitter smile, "Our sect has always been like this. It's normal for disciples to kill their masters."

Then Mo Yue continued, "Telling you this means that Yi Wei Ting is something I created based on that technique, after making improvements and selecting the best parts. I also borrowed some techniques from the shamanistic religion in the northern desert, but back then they didn't call it shamanism, they called it Wu Zong."

Su Chang'an couldn't help but ask, "So, people who practice Yiweiting are prone to going crazy?"

Mo Yue didn't answer directly. "Compared to my sect's techniques, it's much better. At least it involves doing things consciously. After all, I incorporated the researched aspects into the Heart Demon Scheme. As for what happens next, it's entirely up to me. Whether I sit on the Free Platform and observe the Heart Demon, or I personally experience the Heart Demon and get involved, it all depends on my own abilities."

Hearing Moyue say "Avalokiteshvara".

Su Chang'an couldn't help but recall what his great-grandmother had told him about the Old Master's understanding of the Inner Demon Scheme.

Sudden!

Moyue's face drew close to Su Chang'an's.

Face to face, less than a finger's width.

Su Chang'an took a step back; even though he had a wife, he was still quite self-aware about this.

Mo Yue found it amusing and teased, "You've seduced so many girls, yet now you're acting so reserved in front of me. Your little wife isn't here."

Su Chang'an was embarrassed, but looked at Mo Yue and asked, "What did you mean when you said that Grandmother wanted to kill you? And you even mentioned the 'me' I mentioned earlier?"

Mo Yue suddenly appeared in front of Su Chang'an, her long silk dress falling into the water behind her. She gently pressed her fingers to Su Chang'an's lips and smiled, "What's the rush? I'm just explaining to you."

Then he suddenly turned around and said, "Remember the person you killed before? I forgot her name, but she was the one who kept wanting to see me, the ugly woman."

The first person Su Chang'an thought of was You Wanli, who had been rescued by the people of Mobei after his battle with his grandmother.

Mo Yue continued, "She was above the Inner Demon Formation, at the level of 'Observing Freely.' She navigated the Inner Demon Formation with great ease. I still remember the ridiculous look on her face when she looked at her own Inner Demon Formation; she truly achieved a state of perfect tranquility. You, on the other hand, are a 'Those on the Verge,' meaning you are like any other normal person, physically navigating the Inner Demon Formation. But the Inner Demon Formation is something you must overcome yourself. The so-called 'Observing Freely' is nothing but self-deception. Therefore, she also stopped there. No matter how much she cultivated afterward, she could only reach the fifteenth stage, unable to return to the seventeenth stage, let alone cultivate to a higher level."

At this point, Mo Yue smiled and said, "After explaining so much, now I'll ask you a few questions."

Su Chang'an was still completely confused. Although he understood a lot of what Mo Yue said and vaguely felt that these things were connected, he still felt that something was missing.

Mo Yue asked, "Do you remember when you first started cultivating Yi Wei Ting, you suddenly stopped moving forward?"

Su Chang'an nodded, explaining that he had stalled after several levels, and no amount of practice had helped.

Mo Yue smiled and said, "Because of the Inner Demon Scheme, it started from that time."

Su Chang'an looked at Mo Yue, who spoke so casually.

Mo Yue squatted on the water's surface, looking at her reflection: "My sect members, my master taught me that it is not easy to be a human being in this life. It is comfortable to follow one's desires and act recklessly, but it is often extremely painful to do things uprightly and uphold one's bottom line. Kindness often comes at a price. This is also the foundation of our sect's cultivation method, and the fundamental reason why it is easy to become an irrational, murderous, and mindless walking corpse."

"So you can understand my sect's cultivation method as stepping into the trap of inner demons from the very beginning, asking yourself, asking your inner self. Don't scholars say, 'Human nature is inherently good'? But at the same time, scholars also say, 'Human nature is evil; its goodness is feigned.'"

At this point, Mo Yue looked at Su Chang'an and said, "I'd like to mention that, considering you are my disciple, I should tell you that the person who said the last sentence is the ancestor of our lineage. So, if you see his portrait in the future, please pay your respects."

Su Chang'an knew that many ancient sages from previous lives, such as Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi, still existed in this world, so he was not surprised by these things.

But Xunzi is the ancestor of this lineage?

Mo Yue continued, "I can't tell you the specifics because my master said that our lineage should end with her, since human nature is unpredictable. Therefore, I'm not telling you not because I don't want to, but because I don't know either. But I'm a stubborn person, and I just won't. So I practiced it too, and almost went crazy. But luckily, I was exceptionally talented and suddenly realized something, ruining all my martial arts skills. Later, I was abandoned by a man, and then I really went crazy and created Yiweiting."

At this point, Mo Yue held up two fingers: "Do you remember the first time you were in the Inner Demon Squad, it just started so suddenly?"

Su Chang'an nodded again.

Mo Yue said, "At that time, I discovered that you were just like me."

As she spoke, Mo Yue suddenly appeared in front of Su Chang'an like a ghost, her eyes gentle and her hands cupping Su Chang'an's cheeks. "None of us have lost hope in this world, and we are all trying to live. But even though the kindness in people's hearts has completely rotted, we still live hypocritically, simply because of our promise to our mothers."

But the next moment, Mo Yue smiled self-deprecatingly: "But later, I found that you are different from me. You were not living a hypocritical life. You had actually broken down a long time ago. You completely broke down when you saw your mother and brother die one after another. But you did not give up on this world. Even if you hid your broken self, you still wanted to grow like a flower facing the sun."

"But Yiwei is deliberately forcing you to confront your other side. So when you faced that child named Huang Chao, I discovered that version of yourself, because you were about to die, and even though one of you went mad and the other was trying to live, neither of you wanted to die. So, do you understand?"

Su Chang'an blinked and honestly shook his head: "No."

Upon hearing this, Mo Yue's cheeks puffed up instantly, and she quickly unleashed a flurry of punches on Su Chang'an: "I clearly used all the words I've ever read in my life to explain this to you!"

Su Chang'an pursed his lips, "What I roughly understand is that you modified the old cultivation method into something like Yiweiting, which doesn't drive people crazy, but makes your true nature fight itself, and whoever wins takes over the body."

Mo Yue thought for a moment, then nodded: "That's about the gist of it."

Su Chang'an then asked, "A cultivation technique that only a madman could practice?"

Mo Yue blinked and pointed at Su Chang'an: "Didn't I say? I created it after I went crazy. Isn't it for madmen to practice? Besides, you got through the inner demon situation on your own when you practiced Yi Wei Ting. That alone shows that you are even crazier than me. What I mean here is that you were on the verge of collapse from the beginning."

After saying that, Mo Yue frowned: "Besides, you are really crazier than me. Who can live as kindly as you after their pure and kind side has been crushed to dust by human nature? You have seen the worst side of human nature and you are still so trusting of others. That is why I have always said that you are not suitable for Yi Wei Ting, but you have been able to practice it to this level. After all, I walk the path of ruthlessness and created Yi Wei Ting, but you, such a sentimental person, have practiced it."

At this point, Mo Yue frowned: "And then there's the wife and the child."

Mo Yue clenched her fist again and then attacked Su Chang'an quickly: "You've made me lose face!"

Su Chang'an sighed helplessly, but looked at Mo Yue and said, "So, you're saying I overcame the inner demon trap from the very beginning?"

Mo Yue said, "Yes, Yiwei Ting means that when you start cultivating, you have already begun the inner demon trap. Every word and action after that is a test for you. When I used to see people cultivating Yiwei Ting, I remember that the Celestial Master's Mansion seemed to have copied my Yiwei Ting and made the same one. That's not important. What's important is that you have overcome the inner demon trap."

Su Chang'an pressed on, "I still don't understand,"

But suddenly.

Mo Yue stopped what she was doing and looked down at the water: "It's about to begin."

Su Chang'an was taken aback.

Mo Yue looked at Su Chang'an: "Now that you're here, the one who's desperately trying to survive, naturally has to kill everyone."

Su Chang'an: "!"

Mo Yue looked at Su Chang'an: "Logically speaking, he should have merged with you long ago. He should have merged with you after Huang Chao's incident."

Mo Yue picked up the long sword from the ground. "But you've never been able to face that broken version of yourself, so it has always existed alone in your shadow."

Mo Yue stared at Su Chang'an: "You have never forgiven yourself. Even though the deaths of your mother and brother had nothing to do with you."

...

Grandma immediately released Su Chang'an and stood there, looking down at him.

only

Grandma suddenly smiled.
