Chapter 235: Words of the Inner Demon
After the inner demon revealed itself, it stared straight at Su Qingwu.
At this moment, the illusion has not been broken, and she still has a trace of residual strength.
Knowing that the person in front of her had recovered his memory, she said bluntly:
"Can you tell me why?"
Su Qingwu raised her eyes and stared at the person in front of her who looked exactly like her, with an indifferent expression on her face.
"There is no such thing as free lunch. The trap you set is too perfect."
"That's all?"
“It’s more about my own intuition.”
"You humans are really hard to understand. It's unfortunate that I chose you as my target."
Having said this, the inner demon sighed and sat down on the ground.
"From climbing the ladder to the fake fairyland, and then to this illusion in front of me, if it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have succeeded long ago."
Su Qingwu frowned slightly when he heard this.
"Were the first two inner demon tribulations also illusions created by you?"
"Of course."
"As long as you get through the inner demon tribulation, shouldn't you, as the inner demon, die immediately?"
"It can be said that the Heart Demon Clan is actually very special. As long as the target of the mission is not dead and has not become an immortal, even if it fails, when the target goes through the tribulation again, he will still be resurrected with past memories."
Having said this, the inner demon chuckled.
"Su Qingwu, you have two innate treasures in your hands, and your advancement to the Hedao realm is a sure thing. I failed this time, but I will come back in the future. By then, it will be even more difficult to deal with you. You better be careful!"
"What did you say? Two innate treasures?"
"That's right. What? You don't know about the treasure in your hands? Oh, I see. You still don't know the origin of the Nine Soul-stealing Scrolls, right? Anyway, I won't tell you. It depends on whether you have the fate to find out the truth~"
Su Qingwu kept this in mind and asked:
"Why do you exist? Is it just to create inner demons for all living things?"
"It's okay to tell you this. The inner demon comes from ignorance, is located outside the heavens and myriad worlds, and wanders in the void. The mission of our race is to prevent all living things from attaining enlightenment!"
"There is no such thing as a natural mission. It's more like someone is behind it."
"Haha, if you think so, it makes sense, but do you know who is the one who ordered our existence?"
Seeing that Su Qingwu remained silent, the inner demon changed the subject and continued:
"I will tell you the answer to this mystery when you reach the level of the Dao in the future. By then, regardless of success or failure, there will be a result."
Having said this, the inner demon gradually faded away.
At the same time, the illusion shattered.
Above the shattered cave, the calamity clouds that condensed and lingered gradually turned golden.
After a moment, a dazzling golden light enveloped the area.
Under the effect of this light, the body's defenses are rapidly enhanced.
This lasted for about a hundred breaths, and the golden light slowly dissipated along with the calamity clouds.
The calamity of returning to the void was successfully passed, and a two-hundred-foot-tall phantom of the Dharma image gradually emerged from behind Su Qingwu.
This was not something she released intentionally, but was a natural manifestation of her successful advancement to the realm of emptiness.
The cultivators who were watching the tribulation from afar saw this scene and instantly calmed down.
After a long while, someone finally spoke in a low voice:
"Have you ever seen a Dharma image that is two hundred feet tall?"
"I have seen the Dharma images of more than one senior Fanxu before. The weaker ones were about thirty feet tall, while the stronger ones were sixty or seventy feet tall. Not to mention two hundred feet tall, I have never encountered a Dharma image that was over a hundred feet tall."
"Amitābha Buddha, do you still remember the extremely mysterious Taoist master who was famous throughout the world ten thousand years ago?"
"Of course I remember that the Taoist master's Dharma image was 110 feet tall. However, he was a figure from ten thousand years ago and has been in decline for a long time. It is not appropriate to compare him with people of this world."
"By the way, is it true that no one has ever seen this senior who is transcending the calamity far away?"
"What we saw today, whether it was the thunder or the Dharma image that appeared, was extraordinary. Even though we don't know his name now, I believe that we will learn about his deeds in the near future."
......
As time went on, the monks nearby gradually dispersed.
Although they were very curious about Su Qingwu's identity, no one dared to approach her.
The Return to Void Realm is out of reach for the vast majority of cultivators.
Watching the tribulation from afar and whispering a few words about it is already a risk.
As for approaching head-on, few people have the courage to do so.
At this moment, the phantom of the Dharma image behind Su Qingwu gradually disappeared.
The cave had been destroyed by lightning, and she had no intention of rebuilding it. But now that her cultivation had reached a higher level, she could embark on another important task, which was to solve the mystery of the jade flute.
In the Lixin Fantasy, the Yuyi tribe appeared near the last mountain range of the Lingyuan Continent.
She planned to start from here and search slowly.
The Mozhi Mountains are located in the northwest of the mainland, 80,000 miles away.
After advancing to the next level and returning to the void, flying at full speed, it would only take one stick of incense to reach the destination.
Su Qingwu quickly arrived at the corresponding area.
What I saw was not much different from the scene in my memory.
There are many volcanoes here, and the temperature is high and hot all year round.
There is a volcano erupting right now.
Thick smoke billowed out of the mountain pass, flint flew and fell into the distance, and the nearby sky was reflected with a striking red light.
The flowing magma meandered downwards, distributed irregularly, and wherever it passed, the already sparse vegetation was turned into ashes.
Over time, this magma solidifies and forms new rock.
Arriving here, Su Qingwu tried to release his spiritual consciousness to look for traces of the Yuyi tribe.
Initial exploration yielded no results.
Although there are many volcanoes in the Last Branch Mountains, there are still humans living there. According to her spiritual sense, there are several mortal tribes here.
As for monks, they are rarely seen.
I wanted to find someone to get some information, but I couldn't communicate with him, so I had to give up.
In order to help, Su Wen and Kong Jiu left their homes and acted separately.
However, not long after, Su Qingwu discovered that several powerful beams of light were approaching the last mountain range.
Those who came were all at the Return to Void stage, and some of them looked familiar, as they had hunted her down before in the Li Xin illusion. They were all third-rank powerful cultivators from the Ling Yuan Continent.
Now that the fact that she possesses the treasure has not been exposed, it is unlikely that these people are here to kill her.
With a change of mind, Su Qingwu quickly guessed the purpose of their visit and secretly sent a message to Su Wen and Kong Jiu, asking them not to come back for the time being.
There were four people in total. As they approached, they quickly slowed down and each of them bowed to her from a distance.
They all have a gentle attitude and a decent smile on their faces.
Just as Su Qingwu expected, their purpose of this trip was, firstly, to find out her background, and secondly, to recruit her.
The higher the Dharma image, the stronger the power.
The first and second rank forces may not care if they have a great master of Hedao in charge, but for the third rank forces, if they can recruit such a Return to Void cultivator, their overall strength will definitely be improved to a higher level.
However, Su Qingwu never had such plans, and the four of them were destined to return with regrets.
During this conversation, not only did he not reveal any of his background, he also made it clear that he would go his own way and not join any forces.
After knowing his decision, the four did not leave immediately. In order to make friends, they talked about the matter of the Mozhi Mountain Range.
Because of this, Su Qingwu accidentally learned the news about the Yuyi tribe...
