Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 116 A Trip to Penglai (9)

After resting for two days, Luo Zai Shui stepped onto that land again.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and focused her mind.

An aged voice rang in her ears.

"Your cultivation level can only go this far; there's no use in cultivating any more."

"Who?"

Luo suddenly opened her eyes in the water. The surroundings were empty, and there was no one else hiding there.

Just as Luo Zai Shui relaxed her guard, the voice rang out again: "Hehe, little girl, you can't see me."

Luo Zai Shui casually conjured a soul-searching talisman, the flames flickering in the air, but there was no movement.

"These things are useless to me." The voice was rather smug, sometimes near and sometimes far from Luo Zai Shui's ear, with a seductive tone. "Are you eager to cultivate? I have many ancient secret manuals here, would you like to take a look?"

Luo Zai Shui waved her hand impatiently in her ear: "I'm not looking. Go away, or I'll drag you out."

"Little girl, you can't touch me. But you, why are you in such a hurry to cultivate? Is there something urgent?"

The voice was kind and friendly, yet it also had a chilling quality.

When Luo Zai Shui heard him say that he couldn't touch him, he began to mutter to himself, "I can't touch you, and you can't touch me either, right?"

"what?"

The man seemed surprised that Luo Zai Shui would ask such a question.

Luo Zai Shui seemed to have guessed something, and she waved her hand impatiently: "In that case, don't disturb my cultivation."

"You're being a bit disrespectful to me. Do you know who I am?" Seeing that Luo Zai Shui was about to enter meditation again, the man became a little anxious. "Don't cultivate! How can you enter meditation peacefully with me by your side? Your cultivation is too slow. Trust me, cultivate according to my instructions, and I guarantee you'll make rapid progress."

Luo ignored him, so the man kept nagging beside her.

"Hey, what's the point of all this training? Follow me, and I'll lead you to conquer all."

"Weren't you supposed to be rescuing your senior and junior brothers? Why haven't you taken action yet?"

"Huh? Time travel? What's that? You don't know where you came from, do you?"

"Let me see... Oh my, what are those deeper memories buried in your mind? I'm really curious!"

Luo Zai Shui suddenly opened her eyes: "Shut up and get out here!"

"If you don't want me to see, then I'm even more curious. I want to see what could be hidden so deep!"

"Get away!"

A sword aura was unleashed, and many boulders fell from the stone wall.

"What secret is it that even you yourself are unwilling to recall? Don't you want to know?"

Luo Zai Shui looked at the Luo Shui Sword in her hand and the dusty wall, took a deep breath, and then walked out without looking back.

"You're leaving already? Aren't you going to cultivate anymore?"

"I'm saying, don't you really want to become stronger?"

"Listen to me, you can't go wrong. I can guarantee that no one in the world can beat you."

When Luo Zai Shui came out, he happened to meet Ming Wen, who was preparing to go into seclusion.

Where is your quiet room?

"Huh?" Ming noticed her pale face. "What do you need the quiet room for?"

Luo Zai Shui didn't hide anything: "I'm probably about to develop inner demons. Please take me to the meditation room. I need to calm my mind. Please tell my junior brother to keep watch outside and inform my master if there's anything unusual."

"Ah? A demon in the heart is a big deal!" Mingwen was clearly frightened, but she quickly calmed down. She first took her to a quiet room, sealing the entire room with talismans beforehand to prevent Luo Zai Shui from suddenly becoming possessed and harming people. She then sought help from her master and Xue Xin.

"How can inner demons arise when everything is fine?"

Xue Xin was so anxious outside that he wanted to pace around, but he suppressed his inner turmoil, afraid that the noise he made would distract Luo Zai Shui.

Bu Suanzi had also seen people who had fallen into demonic possession due to their inner demons, so he was not so panicked: "Don't worry, if she can get through this tribulation safely, her cultivation will advance to the next level. The fact that she can realize her inner demons means that her consciousness is still relatively clear."

Even so, Bu Suanzi was still sweating bullets. If she really didn't make it through, then things would be terrible.

Bu Suanzi set up a new magic array around the quiet room, and Xie Jing also rushed over.

"Where is my disciple?"

Bu Suanzi pointed to the quiet room: "It's inside."

What's the situation right now?

Although Xie Jing was anxious, he did not dare to go in and disturb them.

"It's still unclear. As you know, we can't interfere with inner demons through external means."

Xie Jing looked somewhat haggard: "Why would you have inner demons out of nowhere?"

Bu Suanzi sighed, "She was too anxious after all. How are those disciples doing? If she knew about their situation, it might be better, and it would also help her focus on fighting her inner demons."

Xie Jing remained silent for a moment, and Bu Suanzi knew the result from his expression.

"Don't worry, we'll find a way."

Luo sat on the water basin in the quiet room, repeatedly chanting the Mind-Clearing Mantra, but it had little effect.

The thing deliberately amplified all the sounds outside to distract her, so that it could take advantage of her vulnerability.

"Did you hear that? Your master and the others are helpless. Only by becoming stronger can you save your senior and junior brothers."

Luo coldly replied, "They will not associate with someone who has fallen into demonic possession."

"What about your junior brother who went to the Demon Realm? Don't you want him anymore?"

"He will come back!"

Luo Zai Shui knew that he had been attacking his mental defenses, so he dared not be careless in the slightest.

"Is that really what you think? Don't you want to be even stronger and trample those people under your feet?"

"The Great Dao is formless, yet it gives birth to heaven and earth; the Great Dao is without emotion, yet it governs the sun and moon; the Great Dao is nameless, yet it nurtures all things..."

Luo Zai Shui chanted the Heart-Cleansing Mantra even faster.

Seeing that it was working, the thing worked even harder, trying to dig deeper into Luo Zai Shui's memories.

"Don't you really hate her? Your senior sister died tragically in the belly of a demon beast. Don't you want to avenge her?"

"So many innocent people have died, don't you want to seek justice for them?"

Luo Zai Shui closed her eyes tightly and frowned, clearly somewhat affected by his words.

"Trust me, follow my instructions, and you will become a completely new you. You will be stronger, and no one will be able to hurt you."

Luo Zai Shui slowly opened her eyes, her gaze slightly unfocused: "No one can hurt us..."

“That’s right, no one can hurt you. This is best for everyone. Even if they don’t understand you, it’s the best way…”

The voice was softer and more seductive, but seeing that Luo Zai Shui didn't make any further moves, he was clearly getting anxious.

He needed more painful memories to provoke her.

He chuckled and decided to explore deeper into his memories, to see what could truly break down his defenses.

A sudden, sharp pain shot through my heart, and a mouthful of blood gushed out, followed by a throbbing pain in my mind and lower abdomen.

"In the water—"

In a daze, I seemed to see that person with a full head of white hair running towards me.

Senior brother...
