It's said that one is willing to fight, the other is willing to endure. I've already promised you that I will concoct medicinal pills for you, so I will. Lanyu threw Qian Kun Yu aside and collected thirty thousand low-grade spirit stones, the Three Purities Sword Technique, and the latter half of the Howling Tiger Mountain. Then, she picked up those Profound Ranked Martial Skills and returned them to Old Yun.

”Haha, then from tomorrow onwards, I will go to the back mountain to train my mind and wait for you to refine the medicinal pill for me!” Old Yun's eyes narrowed. He flicked his sleeve and stored away all of the martial skills. Then, he waved his hand towards Lanyu, indicating that he could leave now.

But Lanyu was interested in what Old Yun was talking about. She asked, ”I wonder if Sir Yun's back mountain has a heart tempering array formation?”

Generally, within some sects, there would be some kind of special array formation. It was called the ”Five Flowers Eight”, but all of its uses were basically the same: it could trigger the inner demons, and could be used by those disciples with firm wills who desired to use it.

The magic of this formation not only activated the inner demons hidden deep within one's sea of consciousness, but it also suppressed the inner demons as well. Of course, this suppression was limited to simple suppression.

And now that Lanyu had asked this, he wanted to experience another inner demon! Once he crossed it, then he would be able to hone his rock-hard nature to the maximum. Perhaps he might be able to obtain unexpected benefits, but now it was impossible for Lanyu to guess. After all, he might be the only one to do so in this world.

But the drawback of the heart demon two times was that the heart demon was at least twice as strong as the first time. If Lanyu couldn't control her own heart, she would very likely be forever lost in the heart demon sea, turning into a devil.

”What is it? You want to cross the heart? ” Old Yun's face flashed with surprise as he asked.

Lanyu nodded, saying, ”I'm just interested in array formations.”

Old Yun didn't believe Lanyu's words and said disdainfully, ”It's not that this old man looks down on you, but back then when this old man was crossing heart demons with my cultivation, even I was almost counterattacked by heart demons and lost my way. With your young age, are you sure you can resist staying heart demons to erode your mind?”

Lanyu took a deep breath and firmly said, ”I won't trouble you to worry about that. Take me to the array formation.”

”Hmph, you can go now. Don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes.” Old Yun also had a stubborn temper. When he heard that Lanyu had just followed him, he was so angry that he waved his hand and walked to the back of the stairs on the first floor. The array formation was no secret, so Old Yun didn't worry.

With a rumble, a door opened in the wall. Through that door, one could see that there was a straight flight of stairs leading up to a high platform that was a hundred meters away. There were three stone pillars with strange lines carved into them, arranged in a triangular formation.

Behind the tall platform, there was a towering mountain hidden in the clouds. It was a piece of verdant green and was quite beautiful.

Lanyu and Huangfu Xueruo followed Elder Yun out the door and stopped on the high platform. He looked down and saw that the ground was also covered with dense runes. If he looked at it for too long, it would cause him to feel a strong sense of dizziness.

Huangfu Xueluo watched for a while and felt very uncomfortable. Her heart was agitated, and she was about to cry out. Many terrifying illusions appeared in front of her eyes.

”Little Princess, you should still stand far away.” Little Princess, you should still stand far away. When he saw that Huangfu Xueruo's pretty face had turned pale as she said this in an anxious voice, he then looked at Lanyu and discovered that she was not affected by the symbols in the slightest. He couldn't help but be a little shocked.

Huangfu Xueluo ran up the stairs, only then did she feel her mind gradually returning to normal.

”This great formation is not bad. Old mister Yun, I'll have to trouble you to activate this great formation.” Lanyu looked around, nodding in satisfaction.

”Stop being cocky!” Old Yun couldn't help but mock Lan Yu as he saw her calm demeanor. He wanted to see just what ability this boy had to dare cross the heart demon at the first level of the Martial Master realm.

Thinking this way, Elder Yun walked down the first step, then turned around and squatted down. He placed one hand on the high platform's palm and continuously poured spiritual power into the magical formation.

Weng! *

All the runes on the high platform, along with the three stone pillars, glowed with a red light. It continuously circulated, looking eerie and eerie.

Whoosh!

A blood-red fog appeared out of nowhere. Lan Yu's body was hidden within the fog, and he could no longer be seen. It was as if he had completely vanished.

Huangfu Xueluo nervously looked at the blood-red fog. She was very worried that Lanyu would have a mental breakdown, so she secretly broke out in a cold sweat for him.

As the array formation began to activate, Lanyu entered into another world.

He was facing a sea of blood. The stench of blood assaulted his nostrils, making him feel nauseous!

The sky was the same color as the sea of blood. It was blood-red without a single cloud in it, making the entire world look as sinister and terrifying as hell itself.

Familiar or unfamiliar faces appeared in the sea of blood. These were people that Lanyu had killed before, or people that he was familiar with. As they roared, bloody hands stretched out from the sea of blood, grabbing Lanyu.

”Ling Yu, return my life!”

”Ling Yu, you're so selfish! For the sake of the Mystic Spirit Fire Jade, he didn't even care about the people of Vastheaven Pavilion? You are not fit to be the Pavilion Master of Vastheaven Pavilion! ”

Lanyu's eyes instantly turned blood-red. Her entire body trembled, and a myriad of emotions twisted around in his mind, corroding his consciousness.

Ah!

Lanyu howled into the sky, her voice thick with hatred and unwillingness.

”I'm not wrong!” Those I kill are people I should kill! If a living person did not have a backbone, then what was the difference between them and walking corpses? ”Vastheaven Pavilion can die, but we cannot lose our dignity!”

Whoosh!

A huge golden light fell from the sky. A monk bathed in this golden light was walking towards Lanyu with an Eighteen Ring Town Wand in his hand. He formed a hand seal, and his voice was as loud and awe-inspiring as a large bell.

”Benefactor Ling, the sea of bitterness is boundless. Return to the shore, your killing intent is too strong. This humble monk wishes to cross you to become a golden body. Follow me.”
