Cultivation is to go against heaven, and the life span of monks after the Dongzhen Realm is in principle infinite.
If so many monks live mediocrely in the world of cultivation, one day the heavenly realm will be unable to bear it and collapse.
Therefore, under the law of heaven, something called the inner demon was born.
Any monk who is greedy for time and does not want to make progress will pay the price for the passage of time.
Every hundred thousand years, the inner demon will be born in the years and come to the monks.
Every time the inner demon tribulation occurs, the monks basically have a narrow escape, and the inner demon tribulation will become more and more powerful as time goes by, getting stronger every time.
A hundred thousand years of heart demon tribulation, a million years of heart demon tribulation, many years ago, Li Qingyun even witnessed a tens of thousands of years of heart demon tribulation befalling a saint. That heart demon tribulation wiped out that saint almost instantly.
And this inner demon tribulation is like a whip, which makes those monks who have been practicing for a long time dare not stop the pace of cultivation. They are always trying to find ways to overcome the inner demon tribulation and strive to move towards the holy level.
Because only after reaching the holy level, things like the maggots on the tarsal bones will completely disappear.
At this time, Li Qingyun used his mental power to feel Cui Hu's inner demons, and his understanding of the inner demons gradually increased.
Inner demons are different from heavenly tribulations. Heavenly tribulations are terrifying disasters that fall from the sky, while inner demons are catastrophes that arise from the heart, are compatible with the power of heaven, and torture the souls of monks.
Cui Hu climbed up to where he is today step by step, and Li Qingyun believed that he was definitely not as gentle as he saw.
Cui Hu's character is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people. He has climbed from a little person with extremely low talent to one of the leading figures who is now a direct disciple of the Suzaku Holy Sect.
It must have been through perfect preparations and careful actions time and time again that he was able to survive to this day.
Otherwise, he would have died in the life and death crisis in the past.
This can be seen from Cui Hu's confident use of magic weapons and elixirs in the environment.
The inner demon took advantage of this and replaced all the preparations on Cui Hu's body. The magic weapon was eaten by the sky-swallowing python, the elixir bottle became empty, and the runes became invalid... making him feel an unprecedented despair.
"No, no, no!"
In the illusion of inner demons, Cui Hu once again activated the escape light and fled frantically.
Because at this time, not only was his trump card completely useless, but behind him was the sky-swallowing python and more than a dozen enemies chasing after him... His inner demon was also about to come!
Because of the despair in his heart, Cui Hu unconsciously used more spiritual power while escaping, which caused his spiritual power to drain away quickly.
Everything is developing towards the worst outcome, the situation has reached the worst point, Cui Hu's face is getting more and more anxious, more and more, he is on the verge of collapse...
Li Qingyun frowned and looked at everything in front of him.
He could see that Cui Hu's practice over the years had always focused on spiritual power and supernatural powers. His spiritual power, mental power, and fighting methods were all very solid.
However, he rarely practiced the power of his mind, and no one taught him about it, so at this time, he seemed a little unable to withstand his inner demons.
If he continues like this, he will most likely die from his inner demons and his body and soul will disappear.
"You still have to help him."
Li Qingyun sighed in his heart, and then took out a green fruit from his arms.
This fruit is called Qingxin Fruit, and it is a treasure that has a great auxiliary effect on inner demons. It was a treasure that Li Qingyun picked casually when he was doing a mission for the Suzaku Holy Sect.
Cui Hu should have prepared some treasures to assist the inner demon, but the inner demon changed so suddenly that he didn't even have time to use the treasures in advance, so he directly entered the illusion of the inner demon.
Behind him, the dozen or so monks who were originally chasing Cui Hu looked surprised when they saw Li Qingyun taking out the Pure Heart Fruit.
To Li Qingyun, the Qingxin Fruit was something they could easily get, but to them, it was a coveted treasure.
"go!"
Li Qingyun waved his finger lightly.
The Qingxin Fruit turned into a blue light, followed Cui Hu's nostrils, and penetrated into Cui Hu's head.
And with the entry of Qingxin Fruit, the illusion in Cui Hu's mind... changed.
"roar!!!"
The sky-swallowing python, which had been keeping a distance behind Cui Hu and teasing him, suddenly roared upwards and opened its mouth to swallow Cui Hu.
"boom!!"
Cui Hu immediately turned around and fired a burst of spiritual power at the Sky-Swallowing Python, hitting the Sky-Swallowing Python's teeth.
Because the sky-swallowing python suddenly approached and the distance was shortened, this blow directly caused serious injuries to the sky-swallowing python, and its figure was stagnated.
Cui Hu, on the other hand, took advantage of the impact of this attack to accelerate suddenly and widen the distance.
At this moment, the despair that originally enveloped Cui Hu's face gradually disappeared, and a firm will to survive appeared on his face again.
And as his mental defense line was re-established, the illusion around him also began to collapse inch by inch...
Finally, it shattered with a loud bang.
Cui Hu also regained consciousness at this moment and understood that everything just happened was just caused by inner demons, and he couldn't help but scream in his heart.
He opened his eyes and immediately saw Li Qingyun's figure. His eyes immediately shone with surprise. He stood up and said respectfully: "Senior! We meet again!"
His peripheral vision glanced at the sky-swallowing python and a dozen enemies thrown behind Li Qingyun, and he said with great excitement: "Thank you, senior, for saving me... I don't know how many times this has happened."
Li Qingyun waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I still want to congratulate you on overcoming the inner demon tribulation."
"Hahahaha... I have to thank senior again!" Cui Hu saluted again: "I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for more than 90,000 years, I would be saved by my senior again."
Li Qingyun waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. I'm very curious. Last time I saw you in Wu Kingdom, you seemed to be practicing the ultimate true meaning. Now that you have reached the Dongzhen Realm, how come your major has changed to something similar to a sword?"
law?"
The talent in the Heavenly and Human stage is only middle to upper, and the Four Symbol Realm can resist the army and fight in the Dongzhen Realm. Now Dongzhen has become the leader of the Suzaku Holy Sect.
This growth rate made Li Qingyun very curious, so he asked Cui Hu about the details of his training.
"It seems that senior still wants to hear my story." Cui Hu said with a smile: "A strong person like senior who likes to savor other people's lives must have been amazingly talented since he was a child..."
Li Qingyun smiled mysteriously: "That's not necessarily true, just tell me."
Cui Hu smiled and said: "It is true that as the senior said, the true meaning that this junior relied on when he was in the Four Symbols Realm was a true meaning called the extreme. This true meaning is extremely lethal and can help this junior and me improve my combat power.
"
"But after arriving at the Dongzhen Realm, I discovered that the strong ones in the Dongzhen Realm, or those in the Dao Realm, have extremely tenacious vitality. Even if they only use a little bit, their destructive power is enough, but they cannot really kill the opponent."
