"My desires are all legitimate causes and effects, and are also what my body desires. How can a mere inner demon disturb me? It's simply a fool's dream." In the checkpoint, black fog swirled around, creating countless illusions that seduced one's mind. If one was careless and fell into it, it was very likely that one would be controlled by the inner demon and die here.
However, in the face of the Inner Demon that warriors were most afraid of, Chen Jiu walked calmly, not taking it seriously at all.
"Hiss …" His body emitted a noble light golden glow, as if a monarch had descended and ruled the world. Even the inner demon that was difficult to deal with retreated instantly, not daring to touch Chen Jiu's body at all.
"This … even if you have a special technique to protect your body, how can your body be free of Inner Demons?" Zhang Kuang looked on from the side, extremely shocked. Inner demons were not only external, but also within the human body.
The reason why inner demons were powerful was not because they could invade the human body, but because they could magnify the inner demons within the human body to achieve the goal of devouring the body.
"My six senses are pure, and I'm a magnanimous person. I don't have any bad thoughts, so inner demons naturally won't breed," Chen Jiu said arrogantly, without a trace of shame.
The real reason for not having inner demons was the venting of the Emperor's supreme instincts after being strengthened. Although this was a side effect, its benefits were also obvious.
If there was a woman, he would have sex, if there was no woman, he would have sex. Heaven and earth were blissful, and he naturally reached the realm of having no desires.
"Impossible, how can a person have no desires?" Zhang Kuang shook his head in disbelief. However, seeing that Chen Jiu was not afraid of the inner demons' temptation, Zhang Kuang also could not explain why.
"Ah … Wife, don't go … Don't go …" Suddenly, a man's roar attracted the attention of the two.
A handsome young man in his thirties had black fog swirling around his face. It was obvious that his mind had been invaded by the inner demons.
"The Inner Demon trial is the last trial. There is no limit to the number of people who can pass it." Zhang Kuang seemed to have seen through Chen Jiu's doubts and immediately explained, "This is not an illusion, but a real person."
"Don't go, my wife. I beg you. Please don't go. I'll work hard in my cultivation from now on and strive to be outstanding. I won't embarrass you …" The young man knelt on the ground as if he was hugging something out of thin air. His face was full of pleading and he looked very miserable.
"Ai, women are all so vain. This brother is in danger. If you can't see through the barrier of love, you'll definitely be harmed." Zhang Kuang sighed regretfully.
"Vanity? Is she the same? "Chen Jiu suddenly thought of Mu Lan and couldn't help but feel sad again.
"Rawr!" A Black Devil suddenly tried to devour Chen Jiu, wanting to enter his heart.
"Get out of my way." Chen Jiu clapped his hands and lightning filled the air, driving the Inner Demon away. He coldly shouted, "Even if I've lost my mind, I'm not someone who can be tainted by your Inner Demon."
"Hey, Chen Jiu, what are you doing?" Zhang Kuang exclaimed, because he realized that Chen Jiu had already spoken and walked in front of the young man.
"Wake up." Chen Jiu pointed with two fingers and a surge of Imperial Yuan energy entered the young man, driving the Inner Demon away and returning his mind to normal.
"Thank you …" The young man looked at Chen Jiu disappointedly and instinctively thanked him.
"You can save him now, but you can't save him forever. There's still a long way to go before the Inner Demon. He can't be like this." Zhang Kuang also walked in front and shook his head sadly.
"What's your name?" Chen Jiu asked.
"I … I'm Li Xiao Yao." The young man dejectedly replied.
"From the looks of it, you don't seem to be free at all," mocked Zhang Kuang.
"You guys can leave. Don't worry about me. Dying here is my fate. Perhaps I really am that useless. She has her reasons for looking down on me." Li Xiao Yao shook his head and sighed.
"As expected, a pitiful person must have a hateful side." Chen Jiu glared at Li Xiao Yao. "You even look down on yourself. How can you let your woman value you?"
"I … I've been working hard on my cultivation. For her, I've been training day and night. Isn't it all for the sake of giving her face? What did I do wrong?" Li Xiao Yao's face was twisted.
"Brother, it's good to work hard on your cultivation, but it's best to forget about that vain woman." Zhang Kuang patted him on the shoulder in a friendly manner.
"No … she's the love of my life. I can't forget her, and I can't leave her. Otherwise, it'll be worse than death." Li Xiao Yao clenched his teeth resolutely.
"Then you can just die here. Is it worth it to die for a vain woman?" Zhang Kuang scolded coldly, his face showing no mercy.
"She's a bit vain, but I love her." Li Xiao Yao stubbornly said.
Looking at Li Xiao Yao's expression, Chen Jiu seemed to see his own shadow. He couldn't bear to see him like this. He tried to persuade him again, "Brother Xiao Yao, it's not wrong for a woman to be vain. You don't have to take it to heart."
"What? It's not wrong for a woman to be vain? "Zhang Kuang widened his eyes and shook his head. He couldn't understand.
"A woman's vanity is a way for a man to improve himself. As long as it doesn't go too far, it's still acceptable." Chen Jiu thought of himself and tried to persuade him. "But the most important thing is that a man has to have his own dignity. If you listen to her for everything, even if you're a god, she'll still look down on you. You have to remember that you're a man, an indomitable man. Your woman will be proud of you, but not because she can order you around."
"But I don't have anything on me that she cares about." Li Xiao Yao bitterly said.
"Even we look down on you when you give up on yourself, let alone your woman." Chen Jiu sighed and said, "If you don't have money, you can have an unyielding will and body. If you don't have looks, you can have unwavering confidence and temperament. If you don't have cultivation, you can still have a body of iron … In short, everyone has many shining points. You shouldn't be like you, completely burying yourself. You're like this, covered in a thick layer of dust, without a single spark. Tell me, why would your woman follow you for the rest of your life?"
"I … But if I don't take her feelings into consideration, if I don't listen to her, then won't she leave me even more?" Li Xiao Yao still couldn't accept this.
"Do you think that a glorious Emperor, a hero that everyone admires, would still be unmoved by a woman?" Chen Jiu patted Li Xiao Yao's big face and said, "Furthermore, you have such a handsome face. Are you still not satisfied?"
