Chapter 29: This Internal Demon Is So Humiliating!
Internal demon.
Was it a devil born within the heart?
Their wisdom was no less than other demons, but their only flaw was that they could only exist within people’s hearts.
There was a saying in the internal demon world:
If an internal demon doesn’t aspire to replace its master’s identity, it isn’t a good internal demon.
But not all internal demons could triumph in their attempts to bewitch their masters.
Some people were so resolute that their internal demons were extinguished the moment they appeared.
Some were so fortunate that they always managed to escape from dire situations.
And some used their internal demons as a tool to sharpen their will.
Faced with such circumstances, Su Youwei’s internal demon could only surrender. After all, it couldn’t conjure another internal demon to aid it, could it?
Yet now, it found itself being overpowered by a new internal demon conjured by Su Youwei herself.
If not for its recent surge in strength, it might have already been obliterated.
This was humiliating beyond measure!
How could someone be so shameless as to replace their old internal demon with a new one?
Ծ‸Ծ
The internal demon stared in frustration at the “Martial Sister Bai Lian” imagined by Su Youwei.
It felt utterly defeated.
They were both internal demons—so why had that impostor so effortlessly captured Su Youwei’s heart?
Anxiety bubbled within it.
It had to retaliate.
If things continued like this, it would eventually be severed entirely from Su Youwei. At that point, even without her intervention, it would vanish on its own.
A future without its existence was not the future it desired!

Su Youwei felt drowsy.
It was rare for her to feel tired within the sea of her divine sense.
Was it due to overexertion?
In her daze, she once again glimpsed those bizarre R18 images.
But this time, alongside the explicit pictures, there were also numerous “all-age” scenes.
Although these weren’t particularly heartwarming, they could at least pass as a “school drama” filled with tears and smiles.
In these images, when she entered the Duxian Sect, her Second Martial Sister was already at the Golden Core Stage and celebrated as the sect’s foremost genius.
She was no match for her!
Su Youwei often found herself playing the role of the Third Martial Sister. After arriving at Qiongming Peak, it took her months to grow closer to her two elder sisters.
A lot happened after that—but frustratingly, the images skipped too quickly for her to follow the details.
Some contradictions even emerged in the plot.
One moment, Martial Sister Bai Lian was bullying her. The next, Bai Lian was calling her “master.”
How peculiar!
But one thing was clear to Su Youwei: none of the Martial Sister Bai Lians in these images bore a “Tao halo.”
This puzzled her.
Apart from that, the timing was off. She had arrived at Qiongming Peak ten months earlier than in the visions.
Was what she saw true or false?
Su Youwei suspected these images were crafted by her internal demon to disturb her focus.
But if they were true, it meant that something significant would happen to Martial Sister Bai Lian in the next ten months.
“……”
The thought alarmed her.
Su Youwei resolved to keep an eye out.
Martial Sister Bai Lian was a well-known figure, and many harbored hostility toward her. Even as a Natural Saint, she couldn’t always transform misfortune into fortune.

“The early stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage!”
Feeling the surge of spirit Qi coursing through her body, Xiao Jinse smiled with relief.
She had worried she might fail to break through, which would have left her feeling unworthy of Martial Sister Bai Lian’s support.
The breakthrough had not been easy.
At one point, her inability to absorb spirit Qi nearly forced her to give up.
But then, she remembered the Immortality Promotion Meeting.
“Obsolete Spiritual Root!”
That merciless verdict had felt like a death sentence.
Without Martial Sister Bai Lian’s intervention, she might have succumbed to despair and ended her life in some forgotten place.
With Bai Lian’s help, she had not only survived but also gained the ability to cultivate.
Now, she possessed a top-grade fire-type Spiritual Root.
Even though it had been artificially forged and couldn’t compare to a natural Spiritual Root, she refused to be defeated!
This determination had allowed Xiao Jinse to release her divine sense before her breakthrough.
Like a lone sailor adrift at sea, she had spotted a luminous passage to a new world.
Driven by desperation, she absorbed spirit Qi until she finally succeeded.
As she stood before the rising sun, the world appeared transformed.
Everything glowed with vitality.
“Praise the sun!”
Carrying the Blowing Snow Sword on her back, Xiao Jinse headed out. Today was the day of the competition.
To her surprise, the spirit Qi atop Qiongming Peak was unusually thin.
Was Martial Sister Bai Lian cultivating last night?
“Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian!”
Xiao Jinse bowed deeply, her respect sincere.
“Keep trying.”
Bai Lian’s lips twitched.
Was this what being a protagonist was like?
Breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Stage had nearly drained the mountain of spirit Qi.
So absurd.
Her meridians must be several times wider than those of ordinary cultivators.
Bai Lian suspected Xiao Jinse could face ten ordinary cultivators at once.
No wonder the Second Martial Sister in the game chose a heavy sword—it suited her straightforward and robust nature.
Bai Lian mused that a mace might be even more intimidating, though its appearance left much to be desired.
“Come on, I’ll stab you with a stick!”
The image of a timid cultivator fleeing from Xiao Jinse’s mace made her chuckle inwardly.
Not long after, Su Youwei emerged from her room.
Her breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage had been much quieter than Xiao Jinse’s.
That was to be expected.
While Xiao Jinse’s strength lay in her vast reservoir of spirit Qi, Su Youwei excelled in speed.
“Just treat it as an ordinary test,” Bai Lian advised her junior sisters.
Xiao Jinse nodded earnestly.
Su Youwei also nodded, though her thoughts wandered.
She remembered how Xiao Jinse had been injured during a recent test.
Should she throw the match this time?
