In reality, Wang Chongyang already had problems with split personality and amnesia at that time, but he and Fazhuang were aware of it.

It is still under Wang Chongyang's control.

Inspired by Wang Chongyang's research on the "Breaking the Tile Method," he cleverly used the mental demons caused by problems with his innate skills to have the mother worm devour them.

The turning point came when Wang Chongyang calculated that his "lifespan was running out."

Wang Chongyang had to die once, or rather, he had to actively accept his "death tribulation".

Death and rebirth—these are the deepest and purest inner demons in people's hearts.

If he were to die here, Wang Chongyang would not be attached to it.

If one can survive the ordeal, then seize the opportunity to divide the inner demons, and finally take the worm, then one can slay the demon.

From then on, his mind and spirit were perfect, allowing him to advance further in his innate skills, and he died without regrets.

He's too arrogant; he still doesn't accept the Nine Yin Manual...

But once this begins, there is no turning back; it is extremely dangerous.

However, Wang Chongyang didn't have much time at that time, and he had to hurry back to the Central Plains.

Firstly, to resolve Ouyang Feng's matter; secondly, Zhongnan Mountain was the place where he attained enlightenment, and only in Zhongnan Mountain could Wang Chongyang suppress his inner demons.

Wang Chongyang, using his internal alchemy skills and the monk Fazhuang, calculated the outcome of the success or failure to be "within sixty years".

That's where the problem lies.

Wang Chongyang was too smart and too capable.

His original plan was to fake his death and be reborn, then live in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain. When he needed to differentiate his inner demons, he would go to the secret chamber underground in the ancient tomb.

At that time, he had his own way of arranging everything, trapping himself, and not hurting anyone.

But isn't that inner demon just another "Wang Chongyang"?

Is it really that easy to deal with?

On Zhongnan Mountain, Wang Chongyang could not suppress his inner demons.

But he was also clever. Taking advantage of the moment when Wang Chongyang was at his weakest after defeating Ouyang Feng and passing through a life-or-death ordeal, he had already deeply influenced Wang Chongyang through the mother worm.

He couldn't suppress Wang Chongyang, but he could make Wang Chongyang forget him and everything related to him.

Just like Wang Jiuling was influenced by his alter ego.

There's clearly a problem, but you can't detect it.

Of course, the mother insect of the unknown also deserves credit.

Wang Chongyang felt he should go into seclusion, but forgot why he should go into seclusion in the first place.

He awoke from an ancient tomb, but forgot why he had awoke from an ancient tomb in the first place.

The aftereffects are quite severe.

The seven disciples of Quanzhen knew nothing and cried their eyes out.

Meanwhile, Wang Chongyang hurriedly returned to the Central Plains. Fa Chuang felt guilty, believing that everything was caused by him, and continued to investigate the Wuming Mother Worm as agreed.

Moreover, the Joyful Miller was also a problem. After failing to find Wang Chongyang, he was constantly entangled with Fazhuang in the Western Regions, which exhausted him.

Firstly, Wang Chongyang needed to recuperate, and faking his death and living in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain was the best outcome.

Secondly, Fazhuang had already been deceived once by Huanxi Milarepa, and because of his loose tongue, he had caused Wang Chongyang to suffer.

That's how honest people are; they stick to their principles.

Having been scammed once, I'm terrified now and extremely cautious.

He didn't think anyone else could be trusted, not even the Quanzhen School.

Of course, in reality, the martial arts of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen were no match for Huanxi Miller at that time.

Going to them would only make Happy Miller realize that something was wrong.

Especially since it's said that Qiu Chuji, the most skilled martial artist, has a terrible temper...

As Wang Jiuling listened, he couldn't help but look at the monk in plain clothes.

Goodness, no wonder Master Fazhuang's disciples are all so infuriating and frustrating.

Feelings are inherited from one generation!

"Then why would the patriarch's inner demons want to possess my body using the Phowa method?"

"And why did he go mad when he met the master?"

When Wang Jiuling spoke, Master Yideng sighed.

"It's actually very simple. If Master Chongyang often interacts with acquaintances, his inner demons will inevitably be exposed."

"He is the True Man of Chongyang, yet he is not the True Man of Chongyang. He has both good and evil sides. Killing is the hidden manifestation of his inner demons."

"As for the method of breaking through, I am not really sure either, but I can make some deductions."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiuling also understood something.

"I understand now. He knows he can't ultimately suppress the patriarch, so he wants to simply separate himself?"

Master Yideng nodded.

"Inspired by the Phowa method, Master Chongyang also studied the Phowa method."

"Fellow Daoist, your appearance may just be an accident. The fact that you were able to cultivate the Innate Skill is because the inner demons of True Man Chongyang think that you have the best physical body."

Master Yideng looked at Master Fachuang.

"Master Fachuang studied the mother worm of ignorance for many years, but found that the mother worm was very likely impossible to remove. Later, he found a method from somewhere..."

"He found this Silent Valley, and using a unique flower found there as a medicinal ingredient, he used his own vital energy to lure the insect out..."

"Master, is it a datura flower?" Wang Jiuling suddenly asked. Master Yideng was taken aback for a moment before nodding.

"Um!"

"Those flowers only grow in this valley during specific months, and once picked, they cannot be preserved."

At this moment, the monk in plain clothes had already arranged the body of Master Fazhuang with his hands clasped together.

During this time, Master Fazhuang lowered his head, and withered flower petals fell from his mouth.

"I don't really know the specifics of how he did it, because I didn't wait for him to finish speaking," Master Yideng's voice came.

"At that time, the mother worm in Master Chongyang's body was fully mature and there was not much time left. Master Fachuang was already seriously injured, and after introducing the mother worm into his body, he could no longer hold on."

"I used my Innate Skill and One-Finger Divine Skill to heal his injuries, but I really have no way to deal with that mother worm."

"The worm inside Master Chongyang's head has been removed. He is currently recovering and is not awake for long periods each day. However, once his energy and spirit are fully restored, he will be fine."

Wang Jiuling then noticed a dried-up white worm that had been stepped on and killed on the ground next to Master Fachuang's legs.

The corpse was similar in shape to the red worm, but it looked a bit larger.

It must have emerged after the death of Master Fachuang, just like the abbot of Vajra Gate Temple back then.

Master Yideng was so weak because he used the Innate Skill and the One-Finger Divine Skill to heal Master Fazhuang's injuries.

Wang Jiuling nodded slightly.

Finally, all the confusion of the past has been resolved.

Wang Jiuling himself only developed inner demons because he practiced the Innate Skill incorrectly.

I instinctively feel that all problems are due to innate abilities.

He underestimated the founder...

Upon closer reflection, these were all unexpected, yet perfectly reasonable.

"Amitabha! In the end, it was this old monk who caused his severe injuries... yet I could not save him!"

Master Yideng slowly got up and bowed to the corpse of Master Fachuang.

Wang Jiuling also clasped his hands together.

This man truly lived up to his reputation for goodness in the Western Regions. Although he made a mistake, it was not his intention; he was simply too honest.

Now, however, he has risked his life to ensure the safety of Patriarch Chongyang, which is truly a great act of kindness.

"The Guru will surely reach that blissful Buddha Land..."

Sadness is useless now; one must look forward.

The monk in plain clothes did not intend to take away Master Fachuang's body; according to him, it was his master's choice.

The master is destined to become a "living Buddha," and this is the place where he will attain Buddhahood.

Wang Jiuling, standing before the corpse of Master Fazhuang, directly beheaded Huanxi Milarepa with a single sword strike.

This old man is useless; we might as well let him atone for the sins of Master Fachuang.

In fact, Wang Jiuling arrived just in time.

Because Wang Chongyang was only lucid for a pitifully short time each day, and Master Fachuang had also passed away.

Therefore, Master Yideng was responsible for the food and drink of both Master Yideng and Wang Chongyang.

The valley appears to be full of trees, but strangely, there's not much to eat.

They're hard to find, and there aren't many available.

Master Yideng had to leave most of his energy to Wang Chongyang to help him recover, and he himself was greatly weakened by treating Master Fachuang.

The tortoise breathing technique was also a last resort.

If Wang Jiuling comes again next month, Master Yideng might not be able to hold on.

Having done all this, they should leave now.
