Chapter 682: Inner Demon Invasion
Ever since Jiang Yun left The Great Wilderness Realm, Hai Changsheng has been keeping a close eye on him, and the everywhere seawater makes it impossible for Jiang Yun to hide anything from Hai Changsheng.
At first, Hai Changsheng didn’t understand why Jiang Yun left The Great Wilderness Realm and returned to the Mountain-Sea World.
It was only when he saw Jiang Yun making extensive preparations inside the former Seeking-Tao Sect that he realized Jiang Yun seemed to be turning this place into a battlefield to face a formidable enemy.
In fact, Hai Changsheng never paid much attention to Jiang Yun.
Even though Jiang Yun was seen as the top enemy by all the Sea clan, even though Jiang Yun led the Seeking-Tao Sect to rise again, and even though Jiang Yun wiped out Ten Thousand Demons Cave and Ghostly Samsara Hell.
None of these were enough to catch Hai Changsheng’s attention.
The reason Hai Changsheng appeared alone at first and took action against Jiang Yun was because he sensed the Power of the Heavens on Jiang Yun.
Therefore, he wanted to use Jiang Yun as bait to lure out the power of the Heavens to confirm whether he truly possessed the strength to contend with it.
But when Skyway unexpectedly stepped in to save Jiang Yun and left a threatening message, coupled with Hai Yixue’s experience, it made him take notice of Jiang Yun.
However, now, after witnessing the extensive preparations made by Jiang Yun, he had to truly face Jiang Yun.
Because of these preparations, he was greatly alarmed.
Such preparations, placed within the original Mountain-Sea World, meant that no one could escape Jiang Yun’s intentions.
Even if he didn’t rely on the advantage of the Boundary Sea, getting involved in these preparations would give him a massive headache.
It might even come at a cost.
Of course, he knew Jiang Yun wasn’t targeting him, otherwise he wouldn’t be so open about it.
This made him very curious about who Jiang Yun’s opponent really was, to go to such lengths.
Before he could figure this out, Jiang Yun’s charge towards the Dao Spirit action left him even more surprised.
The importance of the Tao Spiritual Realm for cultivators is beyond words.
Throughout history, no matter what cultivator, when breaking through the Tao Spiritual Realm, they will find an absolutely safe place, with someone to protect them.
Because the Tao Spiritual Realm cannot tolerate any disturbance, even a little external force could lead to a failed breakthrough.
However, Jiang Yun was sitting in the Boundary Sea so boldly, starting to breakthrough the Tao Spiritual Realm without any precautions.
Although he had made many preparations around him, those preparations could only be activated by him when he was fully awake.
If an enemy appeared at this time, would Jiang Yun have to continue his breakthrough while fighting them?
That would only lead to his ultimate failure.
Failing to break through the Tao Spiritual Realm would result in soul damage at the least, death at the worst, and even if he didn’t die, he would lose all his cultivation.
He truly didn’t know if Jiang Yun was ignorant, brave, or simply confident that no external force would disturb him.
Hai Changsheng was shocked beyond belief!
Because he suddenly discovered that Jiang Yun was using the power of water to nurture a Dao Spirit.
Normally, only the Sea clan would do this, but Jiang Yun, a human, not only did it, but the immense power of water he needed was truly incredible.
Above the sea of the Seeking-Tao Sect, Hai Changsheng’s figure finally appeared, gazing deeply at Jiang Yun, who had already merged with the Boundary Sea.
After a while, he muttered to himself, "Nurturing a Dao Spirit with the power of water is a very rare cultivation method, somewhat similar to my own."
"Even though the Dao Fetus has formed now, the most difficult part is yet to come!"
Nurturing a Dao Spirit and forming a Dao Fetus is only the first step.
While many people can achieve this initial step, the real challenge that has caused countless cultivators to ultimately fail is when the Dao Spirit breaks out of the fetus!
Because at that moment, inner demons will invade!
Inner demon is like the evil inside one’s own heart.
Simply put, it is a deep desire or a strong attachment within each person’s heart.
Only by overcoming desires and letting go of attachments can one’s spiritual practice progress further.
There are countless types of inner demons, even more than one.
The so-called invasion of inner demons is like a trial for the inner self of every cultivator.
When inner demons appear, the soul of the cultivator will enter a hallucination.
What’s frightening is that you don’t realize you are in a hallucination, and might even think it is your own life, becoming trapped in it.
Breaking through the hallucination in such circumstances can defeat the inner demon and successfully nurture the Dao Spirit.
Although it sounds simple, achieving it is very, very difficult, not in the process, but in the decisions and sacrifices!
Hai Yixue also came to Hai Changsheng’s side, looking at Jiang Yun and said, "His inner demon, I wonder if it’s related to the him I met!"
Hearing Hai Yixue’s words, Hai Changsheng frowned slightly and said, "You seem to care a lot about him? It’s not just because he has our talents, right?"
Hai Yixue shook her head after a moment of silence and said, "One day, you will know!"
This answer made Hai Changsheng frown even more tightly. Just as he was about to ask further, Jiang Yun, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly shivered slightly.
Hai Changsheng immediately stopped asking questions, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said, "The invasion of the inner demon has begun!"
While Hai Changsheng was speaking, Jiang Yun, who was in the sea, suddenly heard all sorts of noisy sounds, constantly rushing into his ears and mind.
These sounds were chaotic and meaningless, like pieces of stones continuously hitting Jiang Yun’s originally calm mind, stirring up layers of ripples and making his heart start to feel chaotic.
Jiang Yun naturally knew that the most difficult part of nurturing the Dao Spirit was the invasion of the inner demon, so he was well aware that the invasion of the inner demon had begun.
A chaotic heart, no matter the circumstances, would have a great impact on a cultivator.
Especially when facing inner demons, there seemed to be hardly any way to calm the heart down.
But Jiang Yun was well prepared for this!
Under the gaze of Hai Changsheng and Hai Yixue, they saw a figure suddenly stepping out from Jiang Yun’s seated body, it was his physical and spiritual self.
However, within the hands of the physical and spiritual self were holding something different, the left hand held a pill while the right hand held a talisman!
Hai Changsheng’s gaze was sharp, he recognized them at a glance, "Dao-building Pill and Lucky Talisman!"
Dao-building Pill, a fifth-grade pill used for advancing from the Sky Reaching Realm to the Tao Spiritual Realm.
Lucky Talisman contains luck and fortune, able to enhance one’s luck!
For all things in the world, luck and fortune are extremely important.
Like the abundant fortune Jiang Yun brought back from Mirage to the Seeking-Tao Sect, although invisible and intangible, allowed the Seeking-Tao Sect to advance to a fourth-grade sect and gave birth to The Light of Seeking-Tao, showing the influence of fortune.
Jiang Yun received this Lucky Talisman as a gift from Peak Lord Lan Huazhao of Sky Rune Peak when he first became his student.
The Dao-building Pill was obtained by Little Fu when he killed a Sky Reaching Demon to help the Snow Clan and the Ten Thousand Demons Cave in their battle.
Jiang Yun had already placed these two items in the water transformed by the Tao Seal and kept them for this moment!
The physical body first put the Dao-building Pill into its mouth, then lit the Lucky Talisman with a wave of its hand.
As a hint of golden smoke rose and entered Jiang Yun’s nostrils, his heart gradually became calmer.
"Little Yun!"
At that moment, he heard his grandfather’s voice calling out to him after a long time.
