Inner demons are created by stubbornness.
Once an inner demon appears, it will affect the cultivator's body. Especially during a breakthrough, it can easily come out and disturb the cultivator's progress. The cultivator may even face the danger of dying.
Ling Xian was exactly like this.
When he was summoning his spiritual energy to break through the bottleneck, an unforgettable image appeared in his mind. This meant that the inner demon he suppressed was about to explode. The moment it exploded, his face turned white and he puked out a mouthful of blood.
From this, it became obvious how terrifying the inner demon was after it explodes.
What terrified Ling Xian even more was that right now, he was at the critical point of breaking through. All of his spiritual energy was concentrated on the barrier inside his body and he had no energy to suppress the inner demon. Unless he chooses to use his spiritual energy and soul to suppress the stubbornness in his heart.
But if he does that, he will miss a great opportunity to break through. Plus, his cultivation level will drop for 100%.
However, if he doesn't suppress it, then his life will be in danger.
In other words, he was in a dilemma. No matter which path he chooses, he will have to sacrifice a lot.
"Dammit, I chose this moment to explode!"
Ling Xian's expression was dark as he cursed. He was in a terrible situation. His stubbornness was affecting his consciousness and making him lose control of his spiritual energy. It was wreaking havoc inside his body.
In the blink of an eye, three of his meridians were broken by his own spiritual energy.
This made his face pale white and he began to puke out more blood.
"Dammit, I have to make a decision now. Or else I may die here."
Ling Xian was in a dilemma. He had to choose one of the two paths. But no matter which one he chose, he could not give up.
If he chose to break through, his life would be in danger and his chances of survival would be minuscule. If he chose to save his life, then he would miss a great opportunity to break through. His cultivation level would drop for sure.
It was even possible that he would fall right back to the foundational level!
To him, this was a price he could not afford!
However, compared to his life, cultivation level was nothing. As long as he was alive, he would have the chance to rise again.
Therefore, Ling Xian made his decision.
"Whatever. I can rebuild my cultivation level, but I only have one life. I will suppress the inner demon."
Ling Xian coughed out two mouthfuls of blood. Then, he forced himself to gather his spiritual energy. His expression turned serious.
However, just as he was about to use his spiritual energy to suppress his inner demons, a strange incantation came from the front.
"Namo, Jirosuana, Doroyeye. Nan Wu, Ah Ye. Emperor Polu Jie, Shuo Boluoye. "
As soon as the incantation ended, a strange mighty force immediately spread out. That force had a kind of soothing and calming ability. It was very mysterious.
The mysterious man spoke.
Seeing how pale Ling Xian's face was, he guessed that he was troubled by his inner demons. After thousands of years, he had finally found someone he could talk to, so he naturally didn't want him to die just like that.
Therefore, the man chose to make a move. He chanted a strange incantation that was used to suppress inner demons.
Soul Calming Spell.
This technique could calm one's heart and stabilize one's soul. It was a divine ability used to suppress inner demons. Generally speaking, most inner demons could be suppressed with this method when they were about to erupt.
Therefore, the moment the incantation was uttered, it broke through the spiritual energy Ling Xian used to block his sense of hearing and entered his heart through his ears.
As if a stream of clear water was pouring into his heart, it carried with it a strange power that calmed his restless heart down at once.
But in the next second, the inner demons erupted again and became even more violent. Even the strange incantation was showing signs of not being able to suppress it.
This made the mysterious man frown. It made Ling Xian frown as well.
However, after what the man did, he suddenly remembered that he too knew an incantation that could suppress inner demons.
When he was young, he once met a mysterious nun. Coincidentally, that nun taught him a mysterious incantation.
Then, when his majestic blood boiled, he used this incantation to ease his pain. Liao Cang Qiong told him that this incantation was called the Incantation of a Calm Heart.
This incantation was one of the nine heavenly incantations of the Taoism community. It had the ability to calm one's nerves and calm one's heart. It could help cultivators maintain their composure at all times and protect their heart. It was a technique that could suppress inner demons. It was a secret of the Temple of Thunder and very few people knew about it.
Now that he was being disturbed by his inner demons, chanting the Incantation of a Calm Heart couldn't be more appropriate.
Therefore, Ling Xian didn't hesitate. He quickly calmed himself down and began to chant the Incantation of a Calm Heart.
Immediately, a strange and mysterious Qi began to dissipate, calming his heart down. Especially under the mysterious man's incantation, his breathing was no longer messed up. Instead, it calmed down.
The Incantation of a Calm Heart was a technique used to suppress inner demons. Combined with the mysterious man's Incantation of a Calm Soul, the effects of the incantation reached an unprecedented level. Naturally, it was able to suppress inner demons.
One could even say that it was a form of suppression. No matter how strong the inner demons were, they could not think about exploding again under the combination of the two heavenly incantations.
Just like that, Ling Xian continued to chant the incantation. Behind him, a layer of milky white light appeared and began to ripple. A giant Buddha's silhouette appeared as well. As it smiled, it released the power of calming demons.
The mysterious man's Incantation of a Calm Soul was powerful enough as well. Under the combination of the two incantations, what inner demons couldn't be suppressed?
Slowly, under the suppression of the two incantations, the inner demons were suppressed and Ling Xian fell into a state of emptiness.
The him right now was calm and peaceful. There was no worry in his heart and no pain in his mind. Like a lotus that grew out of the mud, he was untainted, clean, and flawless.
"This young man knows the Incantation of a Calm Heart from the Lei Yin Temple. Could it be that he is a descendant of the Lei Yin Temple?"
The mysterious man once ruled the world and was an omnipotent. Naturally, he was knowledgeable. Therefore, he immediately recognized that it was one of the Nine Great Mantras, the Incantation of a Calm Heart.
He knew very well that this was a secret technique of the Lei Yin Temple. Unless it was a descendant who was sincerely trained by the Lei Yin Temple, the Lei Yin Temple wouldn't easily pass it down.
As for secretly learning it, that was even more unrealistic. In the entire world, the Lei Yin Temple was a truly powerful force. Even someone as powerful as him could not successfully learn from them.
Therefore, he was very confused.
Just as he was confused, Ling Xian finally suppressed his inner demons. He couldn't help but to reveal a smile of having just survived a disaster.
In other words, this was the biggest danger he's encountered since he began his cultivation journey. Though it didn't seem like much, the reality was that it was extremely dangerous. If he wasn't careful, he would've fallen into an unrecoverable state.
Now that the danger was gone, he naturally sighed in relief.
"I finally suppressed that damned inner demon."
Ling Xian's eyes flickered with coldness, "It looks like I have to end things with Yu Wu Xiu soon. Or else I won't be so lucky the next time I break through."
As he spoke, he made up his mind. After he breaks through, he will end whatever ties he has with Yu Wu Xiu. Only then can he completely get rid of his inner demon and no longer be bothered by it.
"Now, let me focus on my breakthrough."
Mumbling, Ling Xian knew he couldn't miss this opportunity. Therefore, he refocused and once again tried to break through the barrier.
HOMMMM!
His body was boiling. His spiritual energy was like a giant wave, surging and crashing against the bottleneck.
Sadly, the barrier between the advanced stage and the peak of the completion level was far too sturdy. It was not something that could be broken through in a short period of time. However, Ling Xian had predicted this. Therefore, he was not impatient and focused on breaking the barrier.
HOMMMM, HOMMMM, HOMMMM!
It was like thousands of soldiers were beating drums and breaking through the nine heavens. It was also like thousands of horses were galloping and shaking the ground.
His spiritual energy was like the endless waves of the Yangtze River. It crazily battered against the barrier inside his body as if it was endless and would never stop.
"Based on the situation, I won't be able to break through without a few years of time."
Ling Xian softly sighed, knowing that he had to wait again. But there was nothing he could do about it.
At the Core Formation realm, breaking through the bottleneck became extremely difficult and time-consuming. Therefore, he had to wait patiently.
"Waiting is a very annoying thing. I'd better put myself in a dormant state."
Ling Xian softly grinned and once again, he let himself fall asleep.
Of course, this sleep referred to his mental state. The spiritual energy inside his body continued to batter against the barrier, as if it will never stop.
Just like that, time passed by little by little.
The sturdy barrier, under the assault of the spiritual energy, began to shake.
After about two years, a crack finally appeared on the barrier. However, it would still take a very long time to completely break through it.
Luckily, Ling Xian let his soul enter a state of sleep. Or else just waiting would be torturous for him.
Just like that, another two years passed. The small crack on the barrier finally turned into a huge crack. In other words, he was half a step into the peak of the completion level.
However, the other half of his foot still needed time to grind.
After all, breaking through to the next level was not a small matter. Any other cultivator would need a very long time to do so. Ling Xian's current speed was already very difficult.
Just like that, another three years passed. Finally, the barrier was completely broken by him. The spiritual energy inside his body entered a higher level, became purer, and stronger!
The moment he broke through, Ling Xian opened his eyes. Immediately, two rays of light shot out and pierced through the void.
At the same time, a powerful wave of Qi rolled out of him and combined with his undefeatable Qi, forming an extremely powerful pressure.
Like the arrival of a God, his Qi suppressed three thousand miles and shook up all nine levels of heaven!
Ever since he stepped into this place, he first used three years to cultivate. Then, he used another seven years to break through. In total, he used a full 10 years.
Without a doubt, this was a very long time. Perhaps to others, this wasn't much. But to Ling Xian, this was the longest time he's ever spent in isolation.
However, compared to what he gained, it was all worth it. From this moment on, he was no longer a completion leveled cultivator of the advanced stage. He was now a powerhouse at the peak of the completion level!
After 10 years of waiting, he had a breakthrough!
Now, he was only one step away from the undefeatable realm of the completion level.
The distance to the Nascent Soul Stage was also very close!
