In the silent cave.

Ao Yun stood nervously in front of a clear spring.

At this moment, Chen Tianwen was unaware that deep within Devil Mountain, Ao Yun had already arrived before the Demon God ahead of her.

Her hands clenched unconsciously, her eyes constantly scanning the surrounding situation.

Meanwhile, he was also thinking to himself how to obtain power from the demon god later.

Two days ago, Chen Tianwen displayed his divine power at Dahai Palace and killed his father. Ao Yun could not get over this scene for a long time.

Although she had considered that her father might be despicable and shameless, she had not expected him to be this despicable and shameless.

She actually sold herself out in front of so many guests, like the lowest of clam maidens.

Power was the most important thing she sought.

Although her father had been very careful all these years, Ao Yun, as the head steward in charge of the entire Dahai Palace, actually knew a bit about her father's secrets.

Ao Yun was not a coy person. Knowing that her father was bound to be defeated, she quietly sneaked into the study where her father usually handled official business.

They stole the token that the Sea Emperor had carefully sealed away!

After Chen Tianwen and his group left, they headed straight for Devil Mountain.

As she expected, the token in her hand reacted immediately upon entering Devil Mountain.

At first, they only gave a general direction, but the deeper you go, the more complete the information on the keepsake becomes.

Later, the tokens even featured maps of the seabed.

After careful examination, Ao Yun finally found the cave.

After traveling through the cave for some time, the token suddenly turned blood red.

Ao Yun knew she had found the right place and stopped in her tracks.

However, after carefully observing the scene, she found that there was nothing there except a clear spring.

So, besides waiting anxiously for the demon god, they secretly made plans in their hearts.

Are you looking for me?

Suddenly, a sentence appeared in Ao Yun's ear!

"who?"

She suddenly looked up and looked elsewhere, only to find that there was nothing around her.

I am in your heart!

The voice started muttering to itself again!

Ao Yun's eyes widened, revealing a look of terror.

She frantically examined her own consciousness, but found no clue whatsoever.

In the history of the Tianxuan Realm, there has never been a record of a cultivator encountering such a situation.

"Who are you?"

At this moment, Ao Yun felt a little frightened. This demon god's methods were too unbelievable. He had been talking to her for so long, but had not revealed his form at all.

Who I am is not important! What matters is what you want to achieve!

The whispers of the demon god echoed in Ao Yun's ears.

"I know everything you want! But how will you trade with me?"

Ao Yun had countless thoughts swirling in her mind, but in the end, the desire to control her own destiny prevailed.

So, pale-faced and trembling, she replied, "I want to take control of my own destiny."

"Hahaha!"

The demon god's laughter filled Ao Yun's mind.

At this moment, he appeared extremely arrogant.

What Ao Yun didn't know was that if she could travel to other cultivation worlds, she would discover that the person she was talking to in her sea of ​​consciousness was the inner demon that the immortals hated most.

For cultivators, inner demons are the most feared obstacle.

Regardless of your level of cultivation, if your heart is not firm enough in pursuing the Dao, you are likely to fall into the trap of inner demons.

Because the Heavenly Profound Realm is located in a very remote small domain within the cultivation world, the powerful beings who sealed away the inner demons also deliberately shielded the Heavenly Profound Realm from interface fluctuations.

So for a long time, the inner demons were simply sealed away in that Spring of Inquiry!

Tens of thousands of years have passed in the blink of an eye, and the world has changed dramatically.

However, for some reason, even though it was already time to reinforce the seal, the powerful being had disappeared without a trace.

The seal has loosened slightly!

Taking advantage of this slight loosening, the inner demon quietly sent a wisp of his soul outside.

He encountered the Sea Emperor, a top-tier cultivator in the Heavenly Profound Realm, and successfully bewitched him into working for him.

As he continued to bewitch the Sea King, his desires grew ever stronger!

In the end, he no longer just wanted to improve his cultivation, but to defeat the Ming Dynasty and bring the entire Tianxuan Realm under his control.

So, the inner demon took the opportunity to send out the sealing crystal.

As long as this thing is successfully used by a high-level cultivator of the sea race, the sea race will directly become his possession.

Poseidon is just a human being after all. Even if we could provide him with some nourishment, it would be far too slow!

Only when the entire sea race is under his control can the inner demon rapidly increase his strength!

In preparation for returning to the Demon Realm!

Ao Yun looked at the inner demon with trepidation, and only dared to ask quietly after the inner demon's frenzied laughter subsided.

"What should I do?!"

"It's very simple. You just need to give me half of your soul, and I'm confident I can grant your wish."

The ever-changing voice of the demon god appeared in Ao Yun's ears.

"Can!"

Ao Yun gritted her teeth and agreed.

"You're smart to know what's good for you!"

The demon god's arrogant voice filled every corner of the cave.

Unbeknownst to Ao Yun, a wisp of extremely faint smoke appeared at the edge of the Spring of Inquiry and disappeared into Ao Yun's body in the blink of an eye.

Ao Yun, who was anxiously looking around, suddenly fainted and lost consciousness!

As Chen Tianwen continued walking forward, he suddenly realized that the surrounding area was unusually quiet.

Because on his way here, although there were no traces of demonic beasts, there were still quite a few low-level, unintelligent sea creatures.

These small animals roamed and multiplied freely and peacefully along their journey.

But now even these small animals are gone; generally, only two situations will occur.

One possibility is that the place Chen Tianwen is currently in is indeed extremely cold and gloomy. Even without spiritual intelligence, these small animals know how to seek advantage and avoid harm.

Another explanation is that there are unknown monsters in the vicinity.

Even without their presence, small animals dare not easily come to this place.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Tianwen conjured a small spirit fish with his hands.

It slowly tossed itself into the water in front of it.

The spiritual energy swayed and drifted away in the water, eventually disappearing completely!

There was no further movement.

Chen Tianwen frowned deeply.

I really didn't expect this outcome; this sea area is clearly abnormal.

After thinking for a moment, he filled his eyes with spiritual energy and slowly began to carefully observe the seawater.

After searching carefully, Chen Tianwen was surprised to find some tiny creatures floating in the seawater.

As the seawater slowly rises and falls.
