Becoming a leader of the immortal path begins with sowing the seeds of inner demons.

As long as Lu Ming doesn't want it, the things within the Moon Palace will remain unchanged forever.

But now, from the shadows outside the Toad Palace, a black mist, beyond his control, crawled out, coiled on the stone like a snake, raised its head, and looked at the Toad Palace from afar.

Strange.

Lu Ming muttered to himself, glanced at Feng Zai who was immersed in his cultivation technique, and with a thought, appeared above the black mist.

Before the black energy realized anything was wrong, Lu Ming grabbed it and twisted it violently a few times before it suddenly slumped down as if it had died.

It feels cool to the touch and has an indescribable slippery sensation.

Lu Ming had never seen such a thing before, yet he felt an inexplicable aversion to it.

It comes from the heart, entirely out of instinct.

It was as if he had seen some species that could take his life, yet was weaker than him.

Just as Lu Ming was about to suppress his nausea and take a closer look, the black mist suddenly exploded and went straight into Lu Ming's seven orifices.

Lu Ming's vision blurred for a moment, and when his vision returned, he found himself standing in a bedroom. The furnishings around him were extremely familiar... Wasn't this the Xun Dao Temple?!

"Knock knock".

As a gentle knock sounded on the door, a soft female voice drifted into the room.

"Ming'er, you have a heart that seeks the Dao, and your mother will not stop you."

But you can't ruin your health because of this.

"Here, drink this soup while it's hot to nourish your body."

As they were talking, the door quietly opened.

The moment Lu Ming saw what was outside the door, he froze on the spot, both surprised and suspicious.

What exactly is this place?

Inside the Moon Palace, a figure that quietly emerged from behind Feng Zai also had the same thought.

He glanced at Feng Zai, who was completely absorbed in his work, but did not disturb him. Instead, he silently walked to the pillar and placed his hand on it.

In an instant, thick black energy surged from his hand, flowing like mercury onto the pillar.

What he wanted to devour was not the palace itself, but the mysterious power contained within it.

That was the great opportunity he sensed would propel him to new heights.

The black mist quickly enveloped the pillar, but it seemed to encounter some invisible barrier, piling up in mid-air to form a thick cloud.

The figure immediately realized what was happening and was about to return to Feng Zai's consciousness when Lu Ming's cold voice suddenly rang out behind him.

"To come uninvited and to take without asking."

Fellow Daoist, you seem to be underestimating me.

The scene changed abruptly as soon as he finished speaking.

The various sharp and incomparable weapons were neatly arranged into towering mountains, exuding a terrifying and murderous aura.

The dark red color on it is not just black bloodstains, but mostly comes from the blood-red sea of ​​fire flowing between the mountains.

The space was filled with the cold light of fire, and in the distance came the mournful cries of despair.

The hell of inner demons.

A mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire.

Lu Ming stood high in the sky, staring with the detached indifference of someone observing experimental results at the figure being torn apart and burned by fire.

This is one of the scenarios he designed specifically for extreme situations to destroy the mind of the host of the inner demon.

This unexpected appearance actually helped him refine some details.

As Lu Ming made changes to the "Matters," he curiously observed the figure.

The way this figure appeared and behaved was very similar to the inner demons recorded in the Nine Provinces.

But he is Feng Zai's inner demon, so who am I?

Can a cultivator contain more than one inner demon?

Lu Ming couldn't figure it out, so he approached with a puzzled look.

The figure had no face, but its size was the same as the figure that had appeared in the illusion that had just tried to trap him.

It looks... kind of familiar?

"Who...who are you?!" The figure suddenly looked at Lu Ming's location and exclaimed in panic, "How can you not be affected by the Heart-Locking Technique?"

"You...you are a pure...no, a celestial being!?"

Lu Ming was stumped by the question.

After joining the sect, he also gained a complete understanding of the cultivation system in Kyushu.

Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Pure Yang, Celestial Being, Dao Integration... Li Quan is a Pure Yang cultivator, possessing an immaculate body.

Looking across the entire land, they are among the most powerful figures.

Having witnessed his methods firsthand, Lu Ming found it hard to imagine what kind of cultivator could be called a Celestial Being.

The thing in front of him, which seemed to be a demon, seemed to have truly seen the methods of celestial beings, judging from his tone.

Lu Ming's expression darkened slightly.

This is not good news.

He hoped the other party was just a mental demon, rather than a source of trouble that would drag him into chaos during his developmental years.

Just as Lu Ming was pondering, the figure seemed to have reached its limit, its face suddenly contorted a few times, revealing a face that Lu Ming was familiar with.

"Yin Xuan Zhenren?" Lu Ming exclaimed in surprise.

Yin Xuan suddenly revealed a strange smile, leaped into the air, stretched out his body, and transformed into a thick cloth, wrapping Lu Ming in it and quietly merging into Lu Ming's body.

Lu Ming stood blankly in mid-air, his eyes glazed over, as if his mind had been taken away.

A few breaths later, black water gushed out of his body again, but this time it was not to devour it, but to escape.

"Why are you running?" Lu Ming's eyes regained their light, and he grabbed the tail of the black water, saying calmly, "Didn't you want to bewitch me and break down my defenses?"

Why did you stop?

The gushing black water condensed into a ball in the air, revealing Yin Xuan's terrified face. He screamed, "What are you?!"

Lu Ming's existence was completely beyond his imagination.

He had entered the sea of ​​consciousness of countless Golden Core cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators, and he had seen the most formidable mental defenses.

I've never seen one that's completely undefended.

She was so open and honest, exposing her inner world to him.

But the moment he stepped in, twisted, desperate, painful... countless grotesque and terrifying things nearly drove him to the brink of collapse.

When he tried to influence Lu Ming's consciousness in the same way, he found that Lu Ming was unmoved.

Neither the seven emotions and six desires, nor love nor life and death could sway Lu Ming.

Could it be that my words about distracting the other person have come true?

Is he truly a celestial being?!

Lu Ming couldn't see what Yin Xuan was thinking, but he could guess roughly what it was from Yin Xuan's expression.

He meant that mosaics were still useful.

When a distorted mass of colors with unclear meaning is presented in front of you, it will only make you lose interest and make it difficult to generate any other emotions.

"Wait, wait!" Yin Xuan knew something was wrong, so he immediately put on a fawning smile. "I can give this person to you, senior, I just ask that you let me go."

"I will repay your kindness today in the future..."

"Too verbose."

The entire world suddenly transformed into Lu Ming's head, which he bit down on, crushing Yin Xuan to dust.

After confirming that nothing had been missed, Lu Ming returned to the Moon Palace. Looking at Feng Zai, who was still diligently studying the cultivation technique, he felt even more puzzled.

The inner demon that was devoured contained Feng Zai's memories of his interactions with Yin Xuan from childhood to adulthood.

Could it be that Feng Zai was targeted as soon as he joined the school?

Will similar situations occur with Zhou Jiangyuan and Da Jin?

Although the possibility was very low, Lu Ming still decided to go back and take a good look.

The host of his inner demon is the foundation of his Dao; he absolutely cannot allow any hidden dangers to remain...

"I understand!" Feng Zai suddenly slapped his forehead and laughed loudly, "The Taiyin Youxuan Scripture is for cultivating the body with external alchemy, while the Taiyin Xuanshui Scripture is for practicing internal alchemy..."

The former indicates the dominance of old yin energy, while the latter indicates the initial emergence of young yin energy.

If the two can be combined, the Yin energy can be continuously generated and destroyed in a cycle, thus transforming Yin into Yang, achieving a state of perfect harmony between Yin and Yang!

Feng Zai felt his mind was exceptionally clear, as if someone had reached out and wiped away the fog that had been obscuring his vision.

Under Lu Ming's gaze, his consciousness dispersed and then regrouped, becoming even taller and more solid, radiating a reassuring light.

He raised his head and said joyfully to the void, "Junior understands. Senior wants to tell me today that there are still flaws in my cultivation method, and specially uses the Taiyin Xuanshui Scripture to help me complete the method."

This immense kindness will never be forgotten by me!

Lu Ming remained silent.

Because Feng Zai's control panel has changed.
