Inner demons are essentially monsters dwelling in a cultivator's heart; they can also be seen as another manifestation of a person's character.
Because of the existence of inner demons, cultivators sometimes experience instability in their Dao heart.
Generally speaking, the better one's aptitude and the higher one's cultivation level, the stronger one's inner demons will be.
On the continent of Wuyuan, there is never a shortage of geniuses, but only those geniuses who live long enough can leave their mark on the long river of history.
Before Xuan Qingye, the Xuanling Sect had also produced many exceptionally talented cultivators with unique ice-attribute spiritual roots.
However, only a very small number of them eventually became the Xuanling Ancestor.
The sect leader of Xuanling Sect did not want Xuan Qingye to face her inner demons too early, because Xuan Qingye's experience was too shallow. Although the inner demons were not powerful, it was too dangerous for Xuan Qingye to face them before she had even formed her core.
At this moment, the sect leader of Xuanling Sect sensed something was wrong, but Xuan Qingye was in the Eternal Ice Cold, and this was a critical time for her to overcome her inner demons. He had no choice but to worry.
In Xuan Qingye's sea of consciousness, a demon engulfed in flames was battling against Xuan Qingye, who was clad in Xuanbing armor.
The two used the same weapons, the same moves, the same fighting habits, and their fighting abilities were basically the same, just like fighting in front of a mirror.
A flash of icy light grazed the inner demon's shoulder, leaving a bloody gash.
At the same time, a flame swept past, grazing Xuan Qingye's shoulder and leaving a scorch mark on it.
The two of them took a dozen steps back in unison, creating some distance between them.
Evenly matched!
Xuan Qingye frowned. He didn't know how others dealt with such an inner demon, but he found it troublesome.
"Give up, let me devour you, let us become one," the inner demon said.
Xuan Qingye sneered: "Why should I be the one to give up! You are nothing but my inner demon, a part of my body. It should be me who devours you."
As he spoke, Xuan Qingye raised his sword again and charged forward, this time unleashing the Spirit Extinction Sword Technique.
Xuan Qingye's sword seemed to trigger an avalanche, stirring up all the ice and snow in her sea of consciousness and driving it toward her inner demons.
The inner demon sneered and raised the sword in his hand, also wielding the Spirit Extinction Sword Technique.
In the sky above the sea of consciousness, the raging flames were all lifted up and crashed into the snow mountain that had collapsed around Xuan Qingye.
A huge explosion was heard.
Xuan Qingye felt a sharp pain in her head...
The snow-capped mountain swept into his sea of consciousness, completely engulfing the inner demon opposite him, as well as his raging flames.
The burning sensation on Xuan Qingye's body was suppressed by her ice-attribute spiritual power.
Xuan Qingye felt much more comfortable. He slowly opened his eyes and found himself still sitting cross-legged, but the ancient ice around him had melted to create a large space.
Within his sea of consciousness, the inner demon and his flames were suppressed by the snow mountain, but he still struggled, carving out a space for himself.
However, this world was extremely small, like a small flame inside an iceberg.
Because of Xuan Qingye's own strength, she completely suppressed the restless inner demons.
In truth, inner demons cannot be eliminated, as they are, after all, a part of oneself. It's just that because the main body is too powerful, the inner demons gradually diminish.
Xuan Qingye felt as if she had grasped something!
Xuan Qingye took a deep breath, releasing his consciousness. In an instant, the surrounding world transformed into a world of ice and snow!
Within the eternal ice, he only needs to mobilize a very small amount of spiritual power to create a world of his own!
In this world, he is God!
"Could this be the Ice Domain?"
Xuan Qingye looked at the world he had created. With a simple wave of his hand, a snowman took shape and began to move.
Xuan Qingye felt that she was the master of this world.
Once someone enters his icy domain, they are lambs to the slaughter.
"Su Qing, you have talismans, formations, beast taming, and the ability to set up arrays, so what? As long as you're in my Ice Domain, you can't even lift a finger." Xuan Qingye took a deep breath; he wanted to prove to Su Qing that he wasn't someone who would hold her back!
Emerging from the eternal ice, the Xuanling Sect leader was overjoyed to see Xuan Qingye's appearance.
Has he overcome his inner demons?
"Master, I want to participate in the sect's grand election," Xuan Qingye said firmly.
Just as the Xuanling Sect leader was about to refuse, he was dragged into a world of ice and snow.
"Domain?" The Xuanling Sect Master stared in astonishment at the scene before him. "You actually comprehended the Domain?"
The domain is a law of heaven and earth that even Core Formation stage cultivators may not be able to comprehend, yet Xuan Qingye, who is only at the peak of Foundation Establishment stage, has already achieved it.
"Master, I will definitely shine in the sect's grand selection." Xuan Qingye's eyes shone brightly.
The sect leader of Xuanling Sect sighed. He really wanted to keep this genius in the sect, but geniuses are also proud and have their own pursuits. If you protect them too much, they will only slowly become mediocre.
"Okay. But the Gobi Desert has a complex environment, so you must not be reckless."
After Su Qing returned from the Gobi Desert with the Nine-Turn Golden Lotus Immortal Flame, she has been in seclusion ever since.
She desperately wanted to refine this celestial flame, but after many attempts, she was unable to succeed.
Fortunately, just like when dealing with the Netherflame, we can use a little bit of the Nine-Turn Golden Lotus Immortal Fire by plucking its feathers.
Inside the barrier, a little girl stood gracefully, like a beautiful fairy; this was the fire spirit of the Nine-Turn Golden Lotus Immortal Flame.
Her hair grew to her feet. If Su Qing wanted to use fire, she would pluck a strand of hair and cut off a section.
"Don't go too far! If you keep cutting, my long hair will all be short!" Fairy Fire shrieked.
“Sigh, she’s been too good to you. She used to rip me off like a leech. I was worried about being ripped bald, so I reluctantly signed the contract with her,” Mingyan said.
"Spineless thing! Even if my head is ripped off, I will not sign a contract with her! I am a noble immortal flame, and she is just a mere Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator. Humph, she is not qualified!" The Nine-Turn Golden Lotus Immortal Flame said angrily, hands on her hips.
The seven Su Qing clones, who had been cultivating the Twenty-Eight Constellations Sword Technique, all raised their heads and glanced at the fire spirit of the Nine-Turn Golden Lotus Immortal Fire.
Huo Ling was immediately jolted awake.
"How can a mere Foundation Establishment stage cultivator have so many clones? Isn't it only Nascent Soul stage cultivators who can cultivate clones?"
"Sigh, you don't know this, do you? Her sea of consciousness is exceptionally powerful, comparable to the Nascent Soul stage," Mingyan explained.
"That, that's a dragon?" Fire Spirit was startled when he saw the small green snake.
"It was originally a little green snake, useless except for sleeping, but somehow it got a pair of dragon horns and refined them. Now it can barely transform into a dragon, right?" Mingyan said disdainfully.
"Azure Dragon bloodline..." Fire Spirit could tell at a glance that the dragon's bloodline was extraordinary.
Not only is there a dragon with the Azure Dragon bloodline, but there is also a young Lingxue Wolf King and a snow-treading ink unicorn divine beast.
"Beastmaster?"
"Pah, what beast tamer! She was originally an alchemist, otherwise why would she be making fire? I just don't know what's going on, but there are more and more things in her sea of consciousness," Mingyan said.
