The mental devil shrieked miserably and wriggled crazily like a leech that had been sprinkled with salt. But Li Yao's belief was brighter and brighter, firmer, and purer in his wild laughter!
Rays of light condensed into an indomitable giant in the depths of his brain, and this giant had the incomparably pure face of a baby!
The 'baby' punched and kicked the mental devil even harder, before he burst into laughter. "There's no need to waste your time. My belief will not be shaken by you!
"Even if somebody in the leadership of the Federation is setting me up, they are few and far between. They are only framing me in such a way because they are scared of me!
"They are scared of me not because of my capability in the 'superlative height of the Core Formation Stage', but because they know clearly that my friends support me, and ninety-nine percent of the people of the federation trust me. As long as the real me shows up, their scheme will be completely ruined!"
"That's why they are trying everything they can to stop the real Li Yao from showing up!
"But no matter how they set me up, they have exhausted all the sordid and shameless tricks. So what? Ding Ling Dong still believes in me without any hesitation!
"I'm not dead yet. I can still tell the truth to everybody and the entire Federation!
"Hehe. Those shameless b * stards slandered me by accusing me of being possessed by the Blood Stripe Virus. If I cannot control my dark side and kill the innocent without distinguishing right from wrong, that will be exactly what they want. I will be at their mercy and submit to them!"
"Weakness? Not being able to control your anger, hatred, impulses, and cruelty, surrendering to your dark side and completely falling into the abyss. That is the real weakness!
"So, go to hell now!"
BOOM!
Deep inside Li Yao's brain, a million tons of crystal bombs seemed to be exploding brutally. The overwhelming golden wave engulfed all of his brain cells, completely suppressing the blood-colored frenzy. Every single one of his brain cells shone like the brightest pearls. Dazzling!
Li Yao felt that thunder was echoing inside his head. Countless lightning bolts seemed to have cleared every vein and nerve inside his body. Suddenly, his thoughts became clear, and his entire body felt comfortable!
The 'second brain' on his tailbone also burst out thunderous noises, echoing the main brain remotely. The two waves of thunderous noises collided brutally and turned into the sound of a baby crying!
Li Yao was startled. He took a deep breath and couldn't contain his joy!
This, this. Could this be
The signs of Nascent Soul Condensation!
Training, training, training. Only with setbacks could one move forward. Ever since he broke into the ultimate level of Jin Dan, he had been engaged in countless fierce battles, and almost all of them had been smooth sailing. Even when he was ambushed from all directions, it was only his body that was hurt. His mind and soul had never been interrogated on the deepest level.
Without an earth-shattering impact, it was impossible to fully understand one's inner thoughts.
This time, he returned to Tianyuan. Encountering such a treacherous and unpredictable scheme caused his soul to fall into a bottomless abyss of darkness.
But at the last moment, he withstood the pressure. Soaring into the sky from the abyss, he finally made a marvelous breakthrough in his belief and blew the horn to march into Yuanying. He now had a chance to become the first Yuanying below fifty years old in the history of the Xing Yao Federation!
Li Yao smiled again. Was this what they meant by 'joy comes after sorrow'?
Entering the Nascent Soul Stage and marching into the Nascent Soul Stage was the greatest dream of every Cultivator. However, the difference between 'Jin Dan' and 'Yuanying' was not the size of the fist strength. It was the speed that mattered because one had truly found it. One's true self.
Cultivation was about finding one's truest self and defending it, nurturing it, and stimulating it at the cost of one's life!
Every Nascent Soul Cultivator had their own story. Everyone's Nascent Soul Formation came from a unique opportunity. It was because of this opportunity that their Dao Hearts were filled with a unique will!
Li Yao suddenly felt that what made him happiest was not that he had found the opportunity to enter the Nascent Soul Stage, but that his trust had not failed him.
His woman didn't betray his trust, and he also climbed out of the abyss in his heart at the last moment. He didn't betray her trust!
In a corner of the medical camp, Li Yao sat cross-legged and groped for the bandage around his left eye.
The redness in his eyes was gone, replaced by a black that was almost transparent. It was neither deep nor sharp, but it gave people a comfortable feeling, as if there was always determination and a smile in it.
Taking a long breath, he felt that he was like a sprout that had just broken out of the soil and regained a new life.
As far as his eyes could see, while he was hesitating, a lot of volunteers had come to the medical camp.
They were all residents living nearby. Some of them were seven or eight years old, and some were old men in their seventies or eighties. They had brought their own food, clothes, and blankets. Some of them even brought a bright national flag.
The Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars flag at the center of the square of the Federation was burnt and riddled with holes. However, in the small, temporary medical camp, a new Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars flag was slowly rising!
Night fell, and the sky was entirely dark.
But however dark the sky was, it could not drown the flag that was fluttering in the wind.
Li Yao suddenly realized something interesting.
The night sky was all black, except for a few stars that were glittering.
However, when one looked at it, the first thing that one would see would be the glittering stars, not the dark night sky!
"Uncle."
A thick-skinned boy, who was around seven or eight years old and wearing a volunteer's badge on his chest, was looking at him with a blanket with a bear printed on it. "Why were you shivering and sweating just now? Were you scared?"
Li Yao was dazed for a moment. Scratching his head, he was about to speak, when the boy covered him with the blanket and patted his back solemnly. "Don't be scared. Don't be scared. Mom and Dad said that the bad guys have been driven away. Everything is fine now."
Li Yao was amused.
The boy thought for a moment and took out a tiny doll from his pocket. After hesitating for a moment, he still handed it to Li Yao. "Uncle, if you are really scared, I can lend him to you. He is a hero of the Special Federation. He is very awesome. With his protection, the bad guys will definitely not dare to approach you!
"However, when you are not scared anymore, you must return him to me. He is my favorite hero!"
Li Yao took the doll, but his eyes were blurred again.
His doll was tall, strong, and handsome. It was wearing a cool mustard-seed combat suit, with a double-edged chainsword on its waist. The Rising Dragon of the Nine Stars emblem on its chest was glittering!
The doll did not look like him at all!
Li Yao sniffed. Looking at the boy's eyes that were full of expectation, he felt lucky that he was not swallowed by the darkness just now.
Even if there were some jerks in the leadership of the Federation, so what?
What he was protecting was not those guys, but the people who trusted him, admired him, and needed him!
"Thank you, kid."
Li Yao scratched the boy's nose and smiled. "With the protection of 'Vulture Li Yao', I am not scared at all!"
"Vulture Li Yao?"
The boy blinked in confusion and pouted. "This is' King Kong 'Gao Longze, a hero of the Special Federation more than a hundred and thirty years ago, not Vulture Li Yao. Vulture Li Yao looks too plain. I didn't buy it."
Li Yao: "…"
"King Kong Gao Longze is the best hero of the Federation. He is much stronger than Vulture Li Yao. He will certainly be able to protect you, uncle!"
"Okay. Fine."
Li Yao wiped his sweat and opened his hands. He observed the doll carefully again.
'King Kong' Gao Longze, the hero of the Special Federation before him, stared at him sternly, as if he were saying, "Boy, all the heroes of the Special Federation are dead, and you are the only one alive. You carry our glory and hope on your shoulders. Don't be scared. Bring our strength and kill those scumbags!"
"Rest assured, Senior Gao. I will not disgrace the heroes of the Special Federation. I will find those scumbags and blow them to smithereens together with your share!"
Li Yao clenched the doll in his hands and swore to himself.
Kacha!
The doll's head was broken by him.
"…" The boy.
"…" Li Yao.
"Uncle, you … you …"
"Don't cry, don't cry," Li Yao said. "Let me show you a trick. Look. I'm hiding him in the blanket. One, two, three. Transform!"
Li Yao took out the super glue from his Cosmos Ring and stuck the doll's head back.
This kind of children's toy, with his level as a Master Refiner, naturally could be repaired flawlessly.
It was not until then that the little girl smiled through her tears. She took back the doll and patted Li Yao's shoulder like a little adult before she left.
Hardly had the boy left when the mental devil, which was only a tiny dot in Li Yao's brain, woke up.
"What — what's wrong with me?" asked the mental devil, blinking its big, confused eyes.
Li Yao glared at him coldly.
"Am I trying to swallow your soul and control your body again?" The mental devil was greatly surprised.
Li Yao nodded in silence.
"You may find it hard to believe," the mental devil said in embarrassment.
The mental devil said in embarrassment, "In fact, here's the thing. I am a good person in the first place, and I swore to live in peace with you. However, there is a mental devil living inside my body that sometimes jumps out to control me. When I am controlled by it, I will go on a rampage and lose my usual innocence and kindness. Instead, I will turn into a wicked, wicked mental devil. That's why I tried to swallow your soul!"
"But right now, the wicked mental devil has been defeated by you, and the kind mental devil is back. It's all thanks to you. Thank you for saving me!"
"Oh, I get it now," Li Yao said. "You are a mental devil, and there is another mental devil living inside your heart. It was under the control of the 'mental devil' that you revealed your hideous face and tried to swallow me, right?"
"Exactly."
The mental devil said solemnly, "You are truly enlightened. I'm quite comforted."
