Chapter 221: Heart Demon Tribulation
Sensing this power, Chen Luo's mind moved, and he quickly turned around and flew towards the direction where Elder Rong Ling was.
In just a moment he arrived at the foot of Blackrock Mountain.
After the Black Stone Formation was cracked, the area became a ruin. The power of the third-level spirit vein lost the formation's restraint and began to overflow. If the Black Stone Patriarch came back, he would be furious when he saw this scene. However, no one paid attention to this at the moment, and Chen Luo didn't care. After approaching Elder Rong Ling, he clearly felt that the power of the Heart Demon Art was more active, as if something was calling him.
'Eat him.'
Chen Luo tried to walk into this area, but as soon as he walked in, he heard a voice. The so-called voice was Chen Luo's own understanding. In fact, it was not a voice, but a will.
Just like the will of water to flow to lower places.
"Is this Heart Demon Technique really a foundation-building technique?"
Ever since he learned the Black Stone Secret Art, Chen Luo felt that the Heart Demon Art was becoming more and more terrifying. This technique was too amazing. Now that he thought about it, the Heart Demon Ancestor who died might have been even more powerful than he imagined. No wonder Master Wuwei had to flee to the Seven Kingdoms area and only learned half of the technique.
If you learn all of this, you will definitely be wiped out.
As the Heart Demon Art was put into practice, the 'Heart Demon Tribulation' circulating in the surrounding air was absorbed by him bit by bit. The power of the technique became more and more bizarre, and it seemed to be calling on Chen Luo to rush in quickly and 'eat' Elder Rong Ling.
Calming his mind, Chen Luo absorbed a wisp of Elder Rong Ling's aura, then flew away from Black Stone City without looking back.
When everyone was partying, he was the only one to leave.
After leaving Black Stone City, Chen Luo flew hundreds of miles in one breath until he landed on an uninhabited deserted mountain. Seven formation flags fell to the ground, and a simple maze formation was set up. Chen Luo flew into the formation, dug a cave on the mountain, and then entered the cave and blocked the entrance with a large stone.
After doing all this, he sat down with his back against the stone wall, released the suppression of the Heart Demon Sutra, and at the same time called upon the mummy's brain.
'The exercise is feasible.'
It was still the same evaluation as before, which made Chen Luo feel relieved. His attention fell on the Heart Demon Sutra again.
After absorbing the power of the heavenly tribulation, the speed of the Heart Demon Sutra increased several times. The world he saw now changed, and some camouflage gas appeared in his field of vision. This was the scene that could only be seen after practicing the Heart Demon Sutra.
The absorption of the Heart Demon Art power at close range is completely different from the long-range absorption that relied on previous techniques. The former absorbs the power of the heavenly tribulation, while the latter absorbs the residual power of those who failed to survive the tribulation.
"Eat Him"
Taking out the breath of Elder Rong Ling, Chen Luo heard the voice again. This time he did not stop, but used all his strength to operate the technique. A layer of gray-white energy began to circulate, forming a circle in the body, and with the soul as the center, it began to spread outward.
Buzz.
Chen Luo could clearly feel the energy of the Heart Demon Sutra flowing through his body. The speed of the sixty spiritual dragons' rotation increased a little. This trace of energy passed through the spiritual dragons like gas and finally flowed to his forehead. A cool touch flashed across his eyebrows.
Gradually, Chen Luo felt himself leaving his body again. This time, with the help of Elder Rong Ling's aura, he quickly found the source. His perception kept lengthening, like passing through a passage, which was long and narrow at first, dark, and suddenly became clear after a moment.
When the picture became clear again, Chen Luo found himself in a long street.
The vendors coming and going were shouting their wares, some dignitaries were passing through the crowd in sedan chairs carried by eight people, and there were some scholars and girls strolling along the streets. It all felt extremely real to him.
"I have become Elder Rong Ling's inner demon?"
Chen Luo looked around, the inner demon tribulation he experienced this time was completely different from the previous ones. He was no longer the inner demon watching from the outside, but he had truly entered into the heavenly tribulation and became the inner demon 'permitted by the heavenly tribulation'.
It’s like changing from an audience member to an actor!
Chen Luo sensed his own image and found that it was a strange face. His body shape was the same as that of ordinary people here, all of them ordinary people wearing coarse linen clothes. He was holding two fish in his hands, and it seemed that he had just caught the fish and was going to sell them to the fishmongers in the market.
"The spiritual power is gone."
Chen Luo tried to use his supernatural powers, but found out that he was just an ordinary person. Not to mention supernatural powers, he didn't even have spiritual power.
'There are three copper coins in the jar on the left.'
'The person sitting in the sedan chair is a young lady from an official family.'
'.'
The external brains of the Foundation Establishment Realm quickly observed the surroundings and fed back the information. Like him, these Foundation Establishment Realm brains did not see any problems, and the world in their eyes was extremely normal.
'To overcome the inner demon calamity, you need to keep your mind steady and keep your heart.'
The brain in the Jindan stage has gone through a mental calamity, so the feedback it gives is different.
"If you have an obsession, you can get over it by killing it."
The perspective of the mummy's brain is different. It not only discovered the problem of the inner demon tribulation, but also found a way to leave.
"Then let's go and see what Elder Rong Ling's obsession is."
Chen Luo carried two fish and walked towards the market.
He is also an ordinary person now. The first thing he has to do is to find Elder Rong Ling. Only by finding him can he find out his obsession. As for whether to help him through this disaster or to add insult to injury, it depends on the subsequent developments.
I came to the market carrying two fishes and someone greeted me as soon as I arrived.
"Brother Zhang, you caught two fish this big again!?"
A little beggar greeted Chen Luo familiarly. When he saw this person, the other party's information strangely appeared in his mind.
Wu Xiaoer, Grandma Wu's grandson, was a child from a poor family who had to grow up early, and he was his neighbor.
"Good luck."
Chen Luo responded with a smile, but his attention was on the surrounding market. He was looking for the whereabouts of Elder Rong Ling, but unfortunately there were too many people in the market, and he didn't see him after searching for a long time. Instead, the two big fish attracted many customers.
"Since I am a heavenly tribulation, it must be related to Elder Rong Ling, otherwise how could I stop him from overcoming the tribulation?"
Chen Luo sat at the stall, pondering the possible identity of Elder Rong Ling.
After selling the fish, Chen Luo took two copper coins and started looking for people along the street. He bought the fish blindly and didn't take it seriously. As long as he survived this disaster, he could go back.
After passing the vegetable market, the streets behind are much cleaner. The people here are all scholars and the stalls mostly sell calligraphy and paintings. Maids from some wealthy families buy paintings here and deliver love letters to their young ladies.
The whole world is as rigorous as the real world.
Bang!
At the entrance of the alley, Chen Luo knocked down a scholar with a stick. Although he had lost his magical powers, the martial arts he had learned before were still there. With the help of his external brain, he was able to kill at least a thousand people.
"It has been more than three days since I last saw you. I am so sad that I haven't seen you for three autumns."
Chen Luo took out an article from the scholar's pocket and found that it was a love letter. It was signed and dated, and even mentioned the details of their relationship. Chen Luo frowned when he read the love letter.
Too complete, too real.
It really feels like the real world.
Throwing the scholar aside, Chen Luo attacked two people of different identities. It turned out that these people had their own lives, and even their troubles and enemies were described in detail, which did not seem like a fantasy world at all.
A day passed. Chen Luo went to several places and attacked more than a dozen people, but he found no clues.
Looking for a person in such a big city is like looking for a needle in a haystack. The most terrifying thing is that Chen Luo discovered that there seems to be more than one city in this world. There are other cities and countries outside the city!
How can he find it?
When I returned to Brother Zhang's home, I heard a female voice as soon as I opened the door.
"Second brother, you're back?"
A woman with her hair tied up saw him come back and a look of surprise appeared on her face. She quickly stepped forward and took the thing in his hand, while still telling him what was happening in her neighbors.
"Mother-in-law Li said that her son will get married next month and asked us to go to the wedding banquet. My uncle came during the day and said that his nephew was short of two taels of silver for his studies and hoped that we could lend him some."
Chen Luo listened to the gossips of the Zhang and Li families for a long time but did not get any valuable information.
This is his wife.
To be precise, she is Brother Zhang’s wife.
Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar woman, Chen Luo's understanding of the Heart Demon Sutra deepened.
In the past, from the perspective of an observer, I always felt that those who survived the tribulation could not even cut off the most basic desires, and their hearts were not firm enough. But if they were to switch to such an almost real world and seal their memories, then for those who survived the tribulation, this would be a brand new life.
In this kind of life, cut off the things you care about most.
How many people can survive this kind of disaster?
No wonder those who were undergoing the tribulation changed their faces when they heard the Heart Demon Sutra. Not to mention those who were undergoing the tribulation, even he, a bystander, felt a little scared.
"It's up to you to decide."
Chen Luo said perfunctorily and went back to the room first. The woman didn't know what she had done wrong, she stood in the yard with a blank look on her face, thinking that she had said something wrong.
The house was very clean, and the most valuable item was a bronze mirror, which was a dowry brought by a woman when she got married. Then there were tables, chairs, and benches, all of which were old items, and the paint on them had peeled off.
There were some dried chilies and garlic heads hanging on the wall, as well as a fisherman's hat woven from bamboo straw, and a straw raincoat next to it. These were all things used for fishing when it rained. The women had washed them, and although they were poor, they were very tidy.
Chen Luo walked to the cabinet and opened the drawer.
I saw a wooden hairpin inside. This hairpin was bought by Brother Zhang for his wife. It only cost two cents, but the woman was reluctant to wear it and kept it in a drawer. She would only take it out and wear it during lantern festivals.
It's only two cents.
But even in the midst of the inner demon calamity, the poverty is so real.
Chen Luo pinched the wood grain on the hairpin with his hands, and the feedback from the touch told him that this was a real wooden hairpin.
"Brother, did something happen?"
At the back door, a woman followed in with a worried look on her face. That look made Chen Luo silent for a moment.
Who can overcome this inner tribulation?
