After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Xu Sheng finally woke up again.

The first thought that came to his mind when he woke up was not about what kind of environment he was in in this life, but to continue thinking about his failure in surviving the tribulation.

Logically speaking, although the inner demon tribulation is difficult, it shouldn’t be that difficult!

After all, there are still quite a lot of cultivators who have crossed over on the Xiuxian planet.

So at this moment Xu Sheng couldn't help but wonder why it was so difficult for him to cross?

He thought back on his journey, especially his cultivation, and felt that it was possible that he had relied on the resources of the Wanxian Sect and the "special elixir" to forcibly overcome disasters such as fire and wind, which made his determination to follow the Tao not so firm.

That's why he was obsessed with Mu Hongling when he was trying to overcome the tribulation for the first time.

Of course, this second failure was probably caused by Xu Sheng’s own special circumstances.

Ordinary cultivators who don't have a reincarnation secret treasure like the Book of Eternal Worlds should be able to get through it after getting rid of some common inner demons like the obsession with Mu Hongling.

However, Xu Sheng, who possesses the secret treasure of reincarnation, the Book of Eternal Worlds, will develop a special inner demon such as the fear of eternal life and fail again!

If Xu Sheng was an ordinary cultivator.

He should have succeeded this time.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.

Since he possesses a secret treasure like the Book of Eternal Ages that is incredibly powerful, he is destined to endure more things.

'I just hope that the next time I overcome the tribulation, there won't be any more twists and turns and I can get through it smoothly.'

After that, Xu Sheng couldn’t help thinking in his heart.

Then Xu Sheng began to pay attention to his current situation.

He found that he was still at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm when he died in Wanlong City.

The things about meeting Mu Hongling and successfully ascending to heaven are just personal fantasies.

At this time, Xu Sheng thought about whether the various methods he had practiced in the illusion over the past trillions of years could be used in this life.

After all, it was tens of trillions of time. Xu Sheng had naturally practiced many methods in that demonic fantasy world.

But at this time Xu Sheng found that he could not remember many of the skills clearly, and even if he remembered some of them clearly, he found that they were useless after trying to practice them.

This is because the various skills practiced during those trillions of years were actually all imagined by Xu Sheng based on the various skills he had seen before and through his subjective imagination.

However, some of the methods that Xu Sheng learned in the real world on the immortal cultivation planet were correctly verified in the subsequent practice deductions during those trillions of years.

It allowed Xu Sheng to improve the various skills he had practiced before to a more comprehensive level, and it should be relatively easy to improve the various skills after he reaches the Dharma Realm.

This is also the only benefit of overcoming this inner demon tribulation.

And in this eleventh life.

Xu Sheng discovered that he was not reincarnated as a human as he had imagined in his inner demon's illusion.

However, he did not reincarnate as a turtle or a dragon.

Unexpectedly, in this life, he was reincarnated as a stone!

"My descendants, what have you done?"

Xu Sheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart at this moment: "You didn't let the turtle go, you didn't let the dragon go, you even didn't let the stone go! You actually combined with the stone to produce offspring!"

Of course, it would be more accurate to say that it turned into a stone monster.

Xu Sheng didn't feel too dissatisfied about this.

After all, no matter what race you reincarnate into, it's almost the same.

Anyway, as long as he can cultivate to the Dharma Realm, he can transform into a human body.

Even if you are reincarnated as a human, what does it matter? If you cannot overcome the inner demon tribulation, you will still die.

The reason why Xu Sheng imagined that he was reincarnated as a human in this life in that illusion was because deep down in his heart, Xu Sheng still felt that it would be better for him to go back and see Mu Hongling as a human.

After moving the patterns on the surface of his stone monster body, Xu Sheng put all these distracting thoughts behind him.

He has died in the inner demon tribulation for two consecutive lifetimes.

Three times the limit!

Never fail a third time!

After all, I have been studying the inner demon calamity for so many years.

At this time, Xu Sheng also understood that in order to overcome the inner demon calamity, he must get rid of all the obsessions and anxieties in his heart in order to completely strengthen his Taoism.

"My goal in this life is to break the fear of immortality!"

Afterwards, Xu Sheng thought to himself: "Then I can get over the inner demon calamity in one fell swoop!"

At this time Xu Sheng found himself in a large desert.

The scorching sun was hanging high above our heads.

There was yellow sand everywhere around.

Xu Sheng is a plain-looking stone the size of a human fist.

There were also various irregularly sized stones scattered around him.

But these stones are all just ordinary stones.

It is not a stone monster that is born with intelligence and can cultivate.

"Is it my stone demon mother who left me here?"

Xu Sheng guessed: "Where is she? Where did she go? Will she come back to find me?"

But there are no answers to these questions.

There was only yellow sand blowing around.

From time to time, tornadoes swept up the yellow sand and swept over Xu Sheng's body.

Of course, Xu Sheng, who has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, will not be harmed by the tornado.

Thinking that maybe one day his stone demon mother would come back here to look for him, Xu Sheng did not let himself be swept away by the tornado.

He just stayed there silently and was too lazy to find out where he was exactly.

Anyway, now that he has not overcome his inner tribulation, his cultivation has not improved much.

Therefore, he does not need to look for any spiritual stones or other cultivation resources.

Simply absorbing the spiritual energy in the air of the immortal cultivation planet is enough for him to maintain his cultivation.

"It's so desolate here, it's just right to enjoy the solitude here!"

Afterwards, Xu Sheng secretly said: "This will help break the fear of loneliness after eternal life! Loneliness is nothing great. Eternal life is very good. There is no need to have any unfounded worries!"

Xu Sheng thought so and did so.

He really just stayed in the desert and enjoyed the solitude.

Until he no longer has any fear about the eternal life he pursues, that will be the day when his mind of Taoism becomes completely clear and he will be able to successfully overcome the calamity of his inner demons in one fell swoop!

Just like that, two thousand years passed in the blink of an eye.

It was not like in his previous life when Xu Sheng was reincarnated as a little golden dragon and there were disciples from the Beast Taming Sect around him who wanted to harm him.

Nowadays, there is no one in this world who wants to harm Xu Sheng, the little stone monster.

However, Xu Sheng’s stone monster mother did not come back to find Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng guessed that his stone monster mother, who had abandoned her child here after so many years, might have been in trouble a long time ago.

After all, there are many dangers in the world of cultivating immortals.

However, the stone monster mother did not come.

But two thousand years later, Xu Sheng's peaceful life was broken.

A slightly fatter middle-aged man and another thinner middle-aged man, both in the early stage of the Golden Core, suddenly flew together to the area where Xu Sheng was, and the two of them secretly discussed and conspired here.

Xu Sheng listened for a while.

It was learned that their plan was to lure a young female monk out, trap her with a formation, and then capture her to play with her crazily!

"Brother is really meticulous!"

After planning all the details, the former smiled and praised the latter, saying: "If we implement this plan, that bitch will definitely not escape our grasp!"

"If we want to take her down, the key is to rely on the power of your formation, brother!"

The latter also boasted to the former: "Otherwise we can't accomplish this!"

In short, the two of them praised each other's business.

"Then we'll take that bitch down when the time comes."

Then the former asked, "Who goes up first?"

“That’s a real problem.”

The latter suggested: "Let's play rock-paper-scissors."

"fair!"

The former nodded and said, "That's it!"

Then the two of them started.

"Scissors!"

"cloth!"

"Scissors!"

"cloth!"

…

"cloth!"

"Scissors!"

However, what made Xu Sheng speechless was that the two of them had been guessing for a long time but still couldn't decide the winner.

But at this time Xu Sheng could no longer tolerate them!

"Stone!"

Then Xu Sheng used his magic power to utter the two words and immediately joined their game of rock-paper-scissors.

Xu Sheng's stone monster body, which had grown a lot in the past two thousand years, was directly wrapped in magic power and flew up from the sand and gravel, slamming into the two middle-aged monks, making a muffled "bang bang" sound!

“Ah!” “Ah!”

The two early Jindan cultivators only let out two short screams before being smashed into pieces by Xu Sheng.

"Noisy!"

Then Xu Sheng shook off some blood on the stone monster and collected the space rings from the two monks. He then used a surge of magic power to bury the bodies of the two directly under the sand.

Afterwards, Xu Sheng, who had no psychological burden at all for killing two monks who planned an evil conspiracy, flew back to his original place and continued to sharpen his Taoist heart through solitude.

But what Xu Sheng didn't expect was that only a hundred years later someone would break in here again and break his loneliness.

It was an injured lark monster that was fleeing for its life and was being chased by two young human monks and two middle-aged human monks.

At first, Xu Sheng thought that they would pass by him and go away after the chase, so he didn't pay special attention to them.

But no one expected that they would start fighting not far from Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng, who was unable to judge the good and evil of both parties, did not take direct action.

Soon, these monks trapped the lark monster not far from Xu Sheng's location.

The lark monster was defeated after resisting for a short while.

During this process, Xu Sheng had already roughly understood the situation by listening to some of their conversations during the fight.

It turned out that these cultivators were disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.

They wanted to capture this lark monster and enslave it as a beast.

"I'd rather die than be a beast tamer!"

The lark bird demon made the voice of a very stubborn girl.

But just as he finished speaking, he was beaten and vomited blood again.

"Little lark, just be our beast and become our beast! Why do you have to resist and suffer?"

"Just surrender, you have nowhere to escape now!"

"It's no use for you to shout!"

"No one will come to save you even if you scream your throat out!"

At this time, the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect shouted with a sneer.

"Who called me?"

At this time, Xu Sheng controlled his stone demon body, which had grown a little bigger, to fly up and float out, saying, "Who wants to cut my throat?"

Xu Sheng, who had some resentment towards the Beast Taming Sect due to his experiences in his previous life, took action at this time.

Xu Sheng's words stunned the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect and the lark monster that was almost captured.

"What?"

Their eyes were dull as they asked, "Did you scream your throat out?"

None of them had imagined that there really was a stone monster whose name would make its throat hurt.

Of course, Xu Sheng was just teasing these disciples from the Beast Taming Sect.

Because Xu Sheng had just observed their battle with the lark monster.

So it can be seen that their cultivation is actually not that good.

Only the two middle-aged men had reached the Nascent Soul stage, while the other two young men were only at the Golden Core stage.

Of course, he hadn't waited long enough to attack Xu Sheng yet.

A middle-aged man in the Nascent Soul stage among the disciples of the Beast Taming Immortal Sect flipped over and took out a mirror magic weapon in his hand and shone it towards Xu Sheng.

“Hahahahaha!!”

After that, the middle-aged man immediately laughed out of anger and said, "It turns out to be just a little stone monster that is more than two thousand years old!"

"What? A little demon who is only over 2,000 years old?"

Several other disciples of the Beast Taming Sect around him also leaned forward to take a look at the mirror magic weapon, and then looked at Xu Sheng with eyes full of contempt.

Because that mirror is a magical tool that can detect the soul age of monsters!

This made the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect feel relaxed.

After all, according to normal cognition, a little demon with such a short period of practice cannot be very strong.

Naturally, there is no way they can be their opponent.

At this time, they simply regarded Xu Sheng as a little silly demon who had been practicing for two thousand years but whose mind had not grown much.

"What?"

The light in the eyes of the injured lark monster, who thought he had found his savior just now, dimmed in despair and said, "It turns out to be just a little monster over two thousand years old?"

"A two thousand year old little stone demon?"

Of course, at this time, the texture on the surface of Xu Sheng's stone demon body was slightly squirming. He smiled and said, "Can't I be taken seriously by you?"

As he spoke, Xu Sheng didn't wait for the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect to say anything else and directly mobilized all of his Nascent Soul Realm peak magic power and charged over with a roar.

Then there was a constant bang-bang-bang sound in the desert.

Before long, all these disciples of the Beast Taming Sect died tragically at the hands of Xu Sheng.

The last one to die was the middle-aged man in the Nascent Soul stage who was holding the mirror magic weapon.

He was hit hard on the head by Xu Sheng's stone demon body from above.

His head and upper body were directly blown up.

Because Xu Sheng's magic power controlled his lower body, he was not knocked into the desert and broken into pieces of flesh.

“How can…!”

The middle-aged man's eyes were filled with incredible horror before his head was smashed.

"How is that possible?"

At this time, the little lark next to him was also naturally surprised and asked, "Didn't they say that he is only more than 2,000 years old?"

Xu Sheng naturally did not kill the lark monster.

However, Xu Sheng did not say anything directly to the lark.

Instead, he chose to collect the space magic weapons from the several disciples of the Beast Taming Sect who had just died before turning his stone monster body to look at the lark monster.

"Senior!" The little lark naturally didn't dare to be rude to Xu Sheng and said respectfully.

"Let's leave here first." But Xu Sheng said directly without waiting for her to say anything.

Afterwards, Xu Sheng took away the lark monster which was already seriously injured.

After finding a new secluded place in the desert to stay.

Because Xu Sheng didn’t have any medicine to treat his injuries.

After all, he was just a stone when he woke up in this life and he didn't look for any resources, so he is naturally penniless now.

Of course, at this time Xu Sheng also remembered the space ring he had obtained before.

After immediately checking the things inside, he found that these four space rings did contain healing medicines and quite a few things needed to set up the formation.

So Xu Sheng treated the lark with medicine.

Then he used some of the materials to set up some formations to conceal the location of him and the lark.

After all, who knows if something like this will happen again?

Xu Sheng doesn't want to be disturbed again now.

It would be bad if they attracted other people from their sect because of the killing of those four people before.

Of course, the little lark Xu Sheng couldn't bear to watch him die.

A hundred years later.

The lark has recovered from its injuries and its skills have reached a higher level.

"Master."

She asked, "Why are you staying here alone?"

"I am not your master."

Xu Sheng said: "Don't shout."

"You taught me things and helped me practice. You are my master!"

But the little lark insisted: "It doesn't matter if you don't recognize me as your disciple, I will recognize you as my master!"

"Whatever you want!"

Xu Sheng said: "Anyway, I don't want to be the master!"

The little lark was speechless.

"That's right."

At this time Xu Sheng said again: "Besides, you are already well, it's time to leave."

"No!"

The little lark's face changed and he said, "Master, I want to stay here with you!"

"I don't need you to accompany me and I'm not your master!"

But Xu Sheng still said: "Master...ah, what I want is solitude!"

Although the little lark was still unwilling to leave, Xu Sheng still used his magic power to send her away from there, and then Xu Sheng took his maze to another direction.

After changing the place and continuing to set up numerous formations, Xu Sheng enjoyed the solitude in the formation again.

Confined in a circle, he has to use loneliness and solitude to sharpen his faith.

Then, in the blink of an eye, twenty thousand years passed.

Xu Sheng has turned into a huge rock as big as a hill. Although he has been practicing at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm since he was a child, he has been slowing down the aging of his body.

But after such a long time, he has grown old.

After all, he is a stone demon, not just a piece of stone. Since he is a demon, he is alive. Naturally, he will grow old.

"Twenty thousand years of solitude is no big deal!"

And on this day Xu Sheng finally said to himself: "Nothing more than that! Hahahaha!"

Xu Sheng finally felt that his heart of Tao was completely clear and firm, and without any hesitation, he urged his origin to impact the Dharma Realm just like in his previous two lives.
