Chapter 149 The Source of the Inner Demon
"Why didn't the Sword Master ask for help from others?" Jiang Li couldn't understand. "As far as I know, the Dao Sect had its true teachings five hundred years ago. The current Dao Sect leader Bai Hongtu wanted to remove you. Why didn't you tell him the truth and ask Immortal Changcun to come out and help?"
The Sword Master snorted coldly: "How ridiculous! As a sword cultivator, why should I seek help from others?"
“…”
Jiang Li had reason to suspect that Jiange's stubbornness was passed down from the Sword Master.
"So what do you want to do? Continue the stalemate until your lifespan runs out?"
It is impossible for the soul to leave the body indefinitely or take over the body of another person, otherwise all monks would be immortal.
The soul is also restricted by the original body. The Sword Lord lived for 1,500 years, and his soul was away from his body for 4,000 years. He can live for about 10,000 years during the tribulation period, so if the Sword Lord continues to keep his soul away from his body for 4,500 years, he will go to reincarnation, and the inner demon will disappear with his death.
Jiang Li didn't think this was a good result.
The Sword Master remained silent, as he had not thought of a good solution.
The Sword Master gnashed his teeth and said, "In any case, you must not go to the third floor. Otherwise, even with my help, you will not be sure of victory. The inner demon may even escape during the fight and bring disaster to Jiuzhou!"
Jiang Li was also puzzled. It was not difficult for him to defeat the Sword Lord's inner demon. What puzzled him was the system's mission this time.
The system would never give him a task that was impossible to complete five hundred years ago, and looking at the current situation, he would not be able to complete the task of [obtaining the recognition of the Sword Lord's soul] unless he defeats his inner demons.
The system thought that he was only at the Jindan stage. Could a Jindan stage plus a Tribulation stage soul defeat a Tribulation stage demon occupying a physical body? At this time, the system's voice sounded.
[Taking into account the host's difficulties, the system can temporarily enable the "avoid inner demons" function]
[Friendly reminder, avoiding the inner demons of the tribulation period requires 1.05 million source points. The system can lend source points, and the host needs to repay them at a monthly interest rate of 3%]
...Your business is quite broad, and you even lend money at high interest rates.
Jiang Li was speechless and refused decisively.
"I am Jiang Li, the contemporary Human Emperor. I am at the Mahayana stage and can help you eliminate your inner demons." Jiang Li told Sword Master truthfully.
However, Sword Master didn't believe that anyone could cultivate to the Mahayana stage.
"Fellow Daoist, please don't frame me. How could there be a Mahayana stage in the world? I think the idea of a Mahayana stage is simply nonsense..."
Jiang Li felt that the Sword Master was really hard to please, so he drew his sword immediately.
The rules of the sword tomb were activated, and Jiang Li took the initiative to teleport to the third floor.
“Fuck, how come we’re on the third floor?!” The Sword Master was shocked, his sword intent circulated, and he was alert to all around. “Daoyou, why are you so impatient now? What if the inner demon escapes from the sword tomb? You are the emperor of men, how can you not consider the safety of all living beings?”
The third floor was pitch black, with only one person sitting high on the throne, and sharp swords below him.
"I heard that there is a test on the third level. I wonder what the test is?" Jiang Li asked with a smile.
The man looked down at Jiang Li and said in an emotionless voice: "Young man, watch your attitude when you speak."
The Sword Lord's inner demon could not tell Jiang Li's strength, and guessed that he was in the Tribulation Crossing Stage. He was delighted, thinking that today would be the day for him to escape from the Sword Tomb.
"As a senior, I will let you know what it means to break all laws with one sword!"
The inner demon didn't even take Jiang Li seriously. He was the most powerful sword cultivator. He was invincible among those at the same level before he entered the Tribulation Crossing stage. After entering the Tribulation Crossing stage, even if he couldn't be said to be invincible, he could still suppress other people at the Tribulation Crossing stage!
The inner demon drew out his sword. This sword was forged by the Sword Master himself, combining many sword-fighting insights, collecting the cores of stars, the essence of the sun and the moon, the water of the Yellow Spring, dragon teeth and phoenix feathers and other natural treasures. Its quality was infinitely close to that of an immortal weapon! The extremely brilliant sword illuminated the entire space, clearing up the turbidity of heaven and earth, as if only white was left in the world. It was extremely fast and sharp, enough to annihilate the body and soul together! This sword was a combination of the twelve sword techniques that the Sword Master had learned throughout his life. The inner demon also learned this move, so this sword also contained the heart sword.
When Jiang Li saw this sword, he felt an endless stream of sword intent surging in his heart, wanting to cut his body into pieces.
"Get out of the way, this is my strongest move!"
Although the inner demon was arrogant, he did not underestimate Jiang Li. He showed his strongest power as soon as he took action.
The Sword Master took the initiative to attack, trying to block the sword of the Inner Demon, but in the end only his soul was left and he was unable to exert his full strength, and was swept away by the Inner Demon.
Seeing Jiang Li standing there with no intention of dodging, the inner demon was furious: "You ignorant junior, how dare you not dodge? Let's see what you can use to block it..."
Facing this sword that seemed to split the sky and the earth apart, Jiang Li put his index finger and middle finger together, and when the tip of the sword was three inches away from his eyes, he flicked it lightly, and the sword and his inner demon rolled away.
Jiang Li sighed. If this was really the Sword Master’s strongest move, then Bai Hongtu was indeed qualified to be known as the number one swordsman in Jiuzhou.
Bai Hongtu's sword has more power than just this.
The inner demon was confused by this sudden change and didn't react.
How could there be such a huge gap between the Tribulation Transcendence Stages? !
Jiang Li didn't care what the inner demon thought. He got close to the Sword Lord's body and slapped him with his palm, easily knocking the inner demon out of his body.

Run! Must run! The inner demon was trembling with fear. The strength of this junior was completely beyond his expectations. He inherited the memory of the Sword Lord and had seen terrifying extraterritorial demons, but extraterritorial demons were definitely not as terrifying as this junior! Immortal! This is an immortal-level figure!
The inner demon turned around and tried to run, but Jiang Li threw the Sword Master's body aside and punched out like a dragon, stirring up a hurricane. This punch contained the ultimate destructive power and killed the inner demon.
The inner demon plus the body of the Sword Lord are equivalent to a person in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and were easily killed by Jiang Li.
Jian Jun thought he was knowledgeable, but he couldn't understand Jiang Li's moves at all. The palm and punch were beyond his understanding.
"Emperor Jiang Renhuang, are you really in the Mahayana stage?" The Sword Master smiled apologetically, still with a hint of arrogance in his eyes.
Jiang Li did not answer, but asked: "Sword Master, do you know where your inner demon comes from?"
"Please give me some advice, Emperor."
"It's arrogance. You broke through the death calamity, survived by dying, gained enlightenment between life and death, and broke through to the Tribulation Crossing Stage. This is indeed your capital for arrogance. It is normal for cultivators to be arrogant. Not to mention your Tribulation Crossing Stage, even if you are in the Fusion Stage, it is normal for you to be arrogant. After all, you are the best among millions of cultivators."
"But arrogance is not pride. You are too arrogant to the extreme, which has caused your spirit to be covered with dust. You can't recognize yourself and have a demon in your heart without knowing why."
"After being defeated by the inner demon, you knew there was no way out, but you still refused to seek help from the outside world. You were like this, and the Sword Pavilion was also like this under your influence. You would rather be targeted by the Fearless Alliance than ask for help from the Human Emperor Palace, and you almost destroyed your clan."
"If I hadn't intervened, you Sword Pavilion would be lucky to have survived a hundred years."
The Sword Master is not a heartless person. His willingness to revitalize the Sword Pavilion is enough to show how deep his feelings for the sect are. When he learned that the Sword Pavilion almost became history because of him, he was surprised and felt guilty. If it weren't for Jiang Li, even if he defeated his inner demons, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
He revealed his soul and bowed deeply to Jiang Li.
"Thank you, Emperor Jiang, for helping Jiange. I, Chen Jiannan, swear here that I will fight against the demon with the will to forget death and sacrifice my life!"
Jiang Li accepted his gift and waved his hand, saying, "You don't need to deal with the demons. Jiuzhou is now covered by a great formation. With me here, the demons from outside the region are no longer a threat. But you still need to change your arrogance. Otherwise, I won't care if you have another demon in your heart."
The extraterritorial demon that had threatened Jiuzhou for nine thousand years was lightly exposed by Jiang Li. The Sword Master was shocked. The demon was a terrestrial immortal-level monster, but it was not considered a threat. This gave him a new understanding of Jiang Li's strength.
The Mahayana period is so terrifying.
"Thank you for your guidance, Emperor Ren." Sword Master bowed again sincerely.
