Chapter 2104 1521: The Method
The Great Tao is impartial!
Although chaotic beings with spiritual intelligence have extremely high aptitudes and special statuses, the difficulty of their birth greatly limits them.
Therefore, the power of the heavenly tribulation is not strengthened by Qing Si's status, but more influenced by his aptitude.
Qing Si was born with the Wind and Thunder Law, and to him, tribulation thunder is nothing more than a stronger form of lightning, something that he can withstand physically.
Moreover, he can absorb the power of the tribulation thunder to restore his own energy and heal his wounds.
In the end, after the thunder tribulation, Qing Si looked battered, but his spirit was unprecedentedly vigorous.
Soon, a flash of black light appeared, and he began to face the trial of the Heart Demon Tribulation.
Within a sea of consciousness, where blue and purple converged, a creature that resembled an ox with wind and thunder circling it was seated on a lotus platform, completely sheltered by a pure white spirit light.
The moment the heart demon appeared in his sea of consciousness, a flash of white light pierced directly into the heart demon's body, causing it to wail in pain.
The next moment, it keenly discovered that its power was being suppresseds!
This left the heart demon shocked. In all its years as an Outer Heaven Demon, it had rarely encountered such a situation.
Looking at Qing Si, protected by the strange white light, it was unwilling to accept failure, for the price of failure was too high—it could mean complete annihilation!
Immediately, it gritted its teeth and urged its mana again, weaving a Heart Demon Illusion Realm.
This time, however, it didn't rush to attack but operated a divine secret skill, planning to find the opponent's weakness before targeting it specifically!
Just when the heart demon thought it would return without success, suddenly, it saw a faint crack of fear deep within Qing Si's heart!
Delighted with this discovery, the heart demon was truly surprised that there was indeed a flaw in his mental state.
While it was pleasantly surprised, it didn't become complacent. Instead, it proceeded cautiously, slowly infiltrating and drawing Qing Si into the Heart Demon Illusion Realm bit by bit.
His issue was not significant, but in crucial moments, it became the key to determining victory or defeat, life or death!
For instance, now!
Qing Si, who had taken the Exorcism and God Protection Treasure Pill in advance, originally thought he would calmly pass through this Heart Demon Tribulation, so he let his guard down, becoming somewhat relaxed and negligent.
Unexpectedly, due to witnessing Li Zhirui's tribulation transcendence earlier, a trace of fear left in his dao heart was finally seized upon by the heart demon.
Coupled with his negligence, he unknowingly fell into the illusion woven by the heart demon.
In a daze, Qing Si saw the figure of Li Zhirui, but suddenly his attitude towards him had drastically changed, no longer friendly or kind.
If in the past he was treated as a companion, now, for some reason, he had become a slave!
Being reprimanded and scolded was commonplace, but what he found most unbelievable and painful was that 'Li Zhirui' actually used him as a sacrificial offering to The Great Tao to comprehend the Laws.
Initially, Qing Si didn't believe it and even loudly questioned why he was treated this way. Wasn't he treated well before? Why did the attitude change so suddenly?
"Hahahaha, I treated you well before, of course, to lower your guard, so I could act!"
'Li Zhirui' let out a burst of laughter and said, "Stop struggling and resisting, obediently become a stepping stone on my path of cultivation!"
These words deeply hurt Qing Si. He couldn't believe it was true, but these words indeed came from the mouth of his trusted Jiu.
"Hahahahaha..."
For a moment, Qing Si suddenly burst into a laughter full of misery and desolation, laughing until he couldn't help but shed tears.
The heart demon, disguised as Li Zhirui, saw that he was about to break down completely, the tiny crack on his dao heart widening, and was overjoyed.
It seemed that this time, it would successfully obstruct the tribulation progress!
Now, all it had to do was continue the pretense and keep attacking Qing Si's mind until he collapsed, and then it would reap its reward.
'By devouring this person's cultivation and realm, I hope to advance further!'
The more it thought, the more thrilled the heart demon became, and it acted without the previous caution and meticulousness.
But it didn't matter, for in Qing Si's current state, there was no way he would notice anything amiss.
Moreover, barring any surprises, his fate was destined to become the prey of the Outer Heaven Demon!
...
"Hasn't Qing Si passed the Heart Demon Tribulation yet?"
Li Zhirui, who was acting as a protector outside, couldn't help frowning, and with a thought, he gazed through the layers of space, directly at Qing Si at the center of the thunder tribulation in the distance.
"How is this possible?!"
At first glance, he was taken aback by the state he saw.
Qing Si was emitting demonic qi, his entire aura was starting to decline, and even his vitality was slowly draining away.
All signs pointed to the fact that he was on the verge of failing the tribulation!
"It's impossible! Given Qing Si's mental state and dao heart, it's unreasonable for him to fail!"
Especially since Li Zhirui had seen him take the Exorcism and God Protection Treasure Pill. Considering his condition and the support of the pill, this situation was indeed odd.
"Is something happening that I am unaware of?"
He furrowed his brows, his face clouded and somber, unable to figure out why it was happening, nor willing to accept this reality.
But caught in the tribulation, Qing Si was beyond his reach as an outsider!
"Wait!"
Suddenly, Li Zhirui thought of a solution, but immediately, a hint of hesitation and doubt appeared on his face because if his idea failed, both he and Qing Si risked serious consequences.
Perhaps he could rely on his own cultivation and strength to save himself, but in Qing Si's current state, failure meant certain annihilation!
"Enough hesitating!"
But in the next moment, Li Zhirui realized that given Qing Si's current scenario, if he did nothing, Qing Si was likely to be consumed by the heart demon, facing obliteration.
Better to gamble everything!
Having made up his mind, Li Zhirui no longer hesitated. In the void, he sat cross-legged, and a white lotus slowly appeared beneath him. He calmed his mind and began elucidating the Purification Principle.
His voice boomed like a great bell, traveling far, yet carried no trace of mana, relying entirely on his own strength and voice.
The reason for not carrying mana was naturally to avoid the heavenly tribulation considering it an interference from others, as naturally propagated sounds bore no trace of his aura.
After lecturing for a while and seeing no reaction from the Heavenly Dao, Li Zhirui breathed a sigh of relief, realizing his method was feasible!
